_ [A#] Thank you so very much.
It's a pleasure for us to be here.
[F] We are so honored to be a part of the program tonight, and I certainly hope that we'll do
something during our part of the festivities this evening that you all will enjoy.

I'll introduce the fellows right quick to you over here playing the banjo.
He's from up in [B] Russell Springs, Kentucky.

_ _ Back on the upright bass, this fellow _ got murdered, as they say, a couple of weeks ago.
This is our newlywed here.
He's still [A#] honeymooning a little bit. _ _ _
[G] He said he had to take the ring off.
It was going to hurt the bass.
So never fear.
He's got it in his pocket where he carries it most of the time.
Oh, hey, you are not sitting at his [N] wife's right back there.
Hey, easy.
That's Harold Nixon right there on the bass.
Yes, it is.
Oh, thank you, Harold.
Appreciate you.

You all recognize that fellow, I'm sure.

Definitely his better half, Becky Isaacs.
That's Mr.
John Bowman right there on the fiddle. _ _ _ _
[N] We're going to get the fellow on the guitar right here to sing for you right now.
He makes his [E] home over in Vonor, Tennessee, just over outside of Knoxville.
One of the best singers I believe I've ever heard.

Tied to the cross he fled.
_ [A#]
He could have [F] been forgiven, but he mocked the Lord instead.

Well, they've nailed you to the tree.
[A#] Come down, come down [F] and save yourself.

He asked the [F] Lord's forgiveness.
[C] And Jesus [Fm] said to him,
_ _ _ Fear not, fear not, for on [F] this day, before this day is over,
[A#] You'll be with me [F] in paradise, on heaven's golden shore. _ _ _ _
