Mahalia Jackson
Without a Song
[Verse 1]
Without a song the day would never end
Without a song the road would never been
When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend
Without a song

[Verse 2]
That field of corn would be deserted now
That field of corn would never see a plow
A man is born but he's no good no how
Without a song

[Bridge]
I've got my troubles and woe
But as long as I know
Jordan will roll
I'll get along, 'long as a song
Is strung in my soul

[Verse 3]
I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall
And I'll never know, what makes the grass grow tall
I only know, there ain't no love at all
Without a song

[Outro]
Without a song
