Without a song the day would never end
Without a song the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song

That field of corn would never see a plow
That field of corn would be deserted now
A man is born but he ain't no good no how
Without a song

I've got my troubles and woe
But as sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along as long as a song
Is strung in my soul!

I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I only know that there ain't no love at all

Without a song, without a song
Without a song, without a song
Without a song
