[00:00.00]Sing 'Cause I Love To - Rebecca Lynn Howard
[00:17.95]Across the street from Mable's store
[00:22.49]Underneath my daddy's carport
[00:26.86]If you knew at least three chords
[00:30.45]You could come and play all night long
[00:35.22]Flattop mandolin or anything with strings
[00:39.39]Every single Saturday you could hear us sing
[00:46.21]High and low rough and sweet
[00:50.23]And if you couldn't play
[00:51.98]You brought something to eat
[00:54.50]Folks would come from miles around
[00:58.95]It gets in your blood and you can't get it out
[01:03.37]When it steals your heart
[01:05.01]There ain't nothing you can do
[01:09.83]There wasn't no money
[01:11.43]You just sing 'cause you loved to
[01:22.91]Daddy would sing 'Ring of Fire'
[01:27.23]Someone would play the 'Wildwood Flower'
[01:31.55]Fiddles moaning in the wee small hours
[01:35.41]And you couldn't make the people go home
[01:39.49]I'd sit in Momma's lap and she'd rock me to sleep
[01:43.95]To 'Amazing Grace' in three part harmony
[01:51.40]High and low rough and sweet
[01:54.83]And if you couldn't play
[01:56.81]You brought something to eat
[01:59.77]Folks would come from miles around
[02:03.76]It gets in your blood and you can't get it out
[02:08.39]When it steals your heart
[02:09.85]There ain't nothing you can do
[02:14.75]There wasn't no money
[02:16.23]You just sing 'cause you loved to
[02:23.37]I carry in my soul the music from my younger days
[02:32.00]And I try to remember every time I hit the stage
[02:41.33]High and low
[02:42.99]Rough and sweet
[02:44.54]If I wasn't getting paid I'd be doing it for free
[02:49.45]Folks would come from miles around
[02:53.39]It got in my blood
[02:55.27]And you can't get it out
[02:57.96]When it steals your heart
[02:59.58]There ain't nothing you can do
[03:03.15]Lord I don't sing for the money
[03:06.29]I sing 'cause I love to
[03:11.89]Lord I don't sing for the money
[03:16.32]I sing 'cause I love to
