The List

Rosanne Cash The List Lyrics
1.Miss The Mississippi And You

I'm growing tired of these big city lights
Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore

I am sad and weary far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you dear
Nights are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
Miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming this wide world over
Always alone and blue, blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
Miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming this wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue

Memories are bringing happy days of yore
Missing Mississippi and you
Longing for my homeland, muddy water shore
Miss the Mississippi and you


2.Motherless Children

Motherless children sees a hard time
When their mother's go
Motherless children sees a hard time
When their mother's go


3.Sea Of Heartbreak (feat. Bruce Springsteen)

Rosanne Cash - Sea Of Heartbreak

The lights in the harbor
Don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship
Adrift on the sea

The sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine how I wish
You were mine again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

Oh, how did I lose you?
Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me?
Always to sail

This sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine how I wish
You were mine again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

Oh what I'd give just to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
Come to my rescue
Oh, come here to me
Take me and keep me
Away from the sea

Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine how I wish
You were mine again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak


Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine how I wish
You were mine again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

Sea of heartbreak
Sea of heartbreak


4.Take These Chains From My Heart

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new let me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
And then if you no longer care for the love that's being there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free


5.I'm Movin' On

That big eight wheeler a rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on

I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on

But someday baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on


6.Heartaches By The Number (feat. Elvis Costello)

Rosanne Cash - Heartaches By The Number

Heartache number 1 was when you...left me,
I never knew that I could hurt this way,
You came back and never meant to stay.

Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score,
Every day you love me less,
Each day I love you more,

Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win,
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end.

Heartache number 3 was when you...called me,
And said that you was coming back to stay,
With hopeful heart I waited for your...knock on the door,
I waited but you must have lost your way.

Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score,
Every day you love me less,
Each day I love you more,

Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win,
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end.
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end.


7.500 Miles

If you miss the train I'm on,
you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
a hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two,
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
Lord I'm 500 miles from my home


8.Long Black Veil (feat. Jeff Tweedy)

Rosanne Cash - Long Black Veil

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

The Judge said, 'Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die'
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife

She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me

The scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me


9.She's Got You

I've got your picture, you gave to me
And it's signed, 'With love' just like it used to be
Only thing different, only thing new
I've got your picture, she's got you

I've got the records we used to share
And they still sound the same when you were here
Only thing different, only thing new
I've got your records, he's got you

I've got your memory or has it got me
Really don't know but I know it won't let me be

I've got your class ring that proves you care
And it still looks the same as when you gave it, dear
Only thing different, only thing new
I've got your class ring, he's got you

I've got your memory or has it got me
Really don't know but I know it won't let me be

I've got your class ring that proves you care
And it still looks the same as when you gave it, dear
Only thing different, only thing new
I've got your class ring, he's got you


10.Girl From The North Country

If you're traveling to north country fair
Where the winds hits heavy on borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

If you go when the snowflakes fall
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
See for me she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling winds

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hits heavy on the borderline
Remember me the one who loves that
She once was a true love, true love of mine


11.Silver Wings (feat. Rufus Wainwright)

Rosanne Cash - Silver Wings

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away, leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Don't leave me I cry
Don't take no airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away, leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Don't leave me I cry
Don't take no airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away, leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Silver wings slowly fading out of sight


12.Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow

Well, my heart is sad and I am lonesome
For the only one I love
When shall we meet?
Oh no, never, till we meet in heaven above

So bury me underneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So that he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me

Well, he told me that he dearly loved me
Oh, how could it be untrue?
Until the angels softly whispered
He will prove untrue to you?

So bury me underneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So that he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me

Well, tomorrow was to be our wedding day
But oh my God, where can he be?
He's out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me

So bury me underneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So that he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me
