Preacher:Dearly beloved I’m glad to see you all cameTo join these two together in God’s nameIt seems that stubs at some point Stubs got down on one kneeAnd Chandra said let’s get right to the matrimony
Somethin’ old Somethin’ newSomethin’ borrowed And we sure ‘nough got the blues
I’ve seen enoughTo know that its loveThe reception awaitsLet’s cut to the chase
Do you ... take Stubby to be your lawful wedded manDo you... promise to love and comfort him the best that you canDo you... promise to take care of him until his dyin’ dayWhether rich or poor whatever’s in store, to honor and obey
Chandra:I do... love this manI do... promise to be the best I canI do... when it comes to comfort honor and obey don’t be sadTwo outta three ain’t bad… Stubby you know I love ya
Preacher:Do you... take Chandra as your one and only brideDo you ... for better or worse promise to stay right by her sideDo you ... promise in sickness and health to care for this girlForsakin’ all others say sisters and brothers she’s gonna be my world
Stubs:I do... love this woman right hereI do... know what’s up… see my head is clearI do... for rich or poor in sickness and in healthBut girl I’m done keeping my hands to myself

Do You (Welsh)
How you gonna plan aheadWhen all you see is what’s behindLook for the answers in the moment insteadBut it won’t satisfy your mind
CHORUS:Well I’m good at it nowI’m good at it nowBut what’s it good for Anyway, anymore
What’s the point of passion when you push it all asideTry to right the ship but you get pushed on and on and on by the tideAnd no matter what you do you can’t expose your long lost prideCuz it’s been too long since you heard your voice somewhere deep inside
Sayin’…CHORUS
And the wall of sound once around me has become a thin blanketIt don’t keep me warm at night no moreNow I know just how low a man can getAnd I’m standin’ at the door

Mercy Night (Welsh)
On bended knee each dayPrayed to the Lord abovePeople always heard me sayI was washed in the Lamb's blood saved by love
Led my flock from Satan's powerSheltered from his hateful reignBut in my darkest hourGot took over by doubt and pain
CHORUS:Once was once was... A preacher manOnce was once was... A preacher man
Every day seemed I was testedDid His work the best I couldNever wavered, never restedBut God couldn't leave me where I stood
Took me high upon the mountainThen tested me againYes I tasted from the Siren's FountainNow I walk this world a broken man
CHORUS
In every town on any cornerStands a man who claims the LordShouting out the name of JesusWears the cloth that I once wore
Know that he has his own sorrowHis preachin' drowns out his own sinHe's tryin' to get you through tomorrowMaybe you could say a prayer for him
CHORUSOnce was once was... A preacher manShow me how Lord take my handI'll be I'll be... A preacher manI'm back searchin’ for the Promised LandI am, I am... A preacher man

You Can’t Have Me (Welsh)
First things first I thought you were deadTil I heard you got some gigs upstateGone so long was it something we saidMason babe I'll love you til my dyin’ day Remember the shy girl and that moonlit nightFrom what I heard you was a houndCould be she gave you such a terrible frightSee I hear she bought a wedding gown CHORUSYou shoulda been here when you weren't aroundFolks been spreadin’ rumors 'bout you all over townI'll catch you up on what's been goin’ downYou shoulda been here when you weren't around
Seems you lost your seat at Big Sam's poker gameIt went to the new kid in townPlayin’ cards ain’t his only claim to fameHe got a hot band with a real good sound So baby I'm glad you're backWe hope you stick around for a whileOne thing is still a natural factWhen Mason's here the blues got style CHORUS The diner got a sandwich named after youTwo women did the same for their sonsIt all goes to show that it’s still trueFor us you still the Blues Man the Chosen One CHORUS © 2008 Tear Jar, LLC
