Thank you.
Here's June Carter Kaye.
Sing a song.
This is a song from an album that I have got released right away.
It's called The Gospel Singer.
But this song, of all the songs, including Boy Named Sue and all the rest of them,
the biggest selling sheet music in the last hundred years is this song, Old Rugged Cross.
On [Am] a hill far away [Gm] stood an old rugged cross,
[A] the emblem of suffering [D] and shame.
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
[A] for a world of lost sinners [D] was slain.
So [A] I'll cherish the old [D] rugged cross
[G] till my trophies at last I [D] lay down.
I will cling to the [Am] old [G] rugged cross
[D] and exchange it [A] someday for a crown.
[A]
[D] To the old rugged cross [Gm] I will ever be true,
[A] its shame and reproach [D] gladly bear.
And you'll call me someday to that home far away
[A] where His glory forever will [D] change.
Sing it with us, choir.
[A] So I'll cherish the old [D] rugged cross
[G] till my trophies at last I [D] lay down.
Everybody sing.
I will cling to the [Am] old rugged [G] cross
[D] and exchange it [A] someday [D] for a crown.
