Lyrics:

(Vincent Youmans, Billy Rose, Eduard Elisa) [Recorded May 2, 1961, Los Angeles] Without a song the day would never end Without a song the road would never bend When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend Without a song That field of corn would never see a plow That field of corn would be deserted now A man is born but he's no good no how Without a song I got my trouble and woe but, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul I'll never know what makes the rain to fall I'll never know what makes that grass so tall I only know there ain't no love at all Without a song [instrumental] I've-a got my trouble and woe and, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul I'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall I'll never know what makes the grass so tall I only know there ain't no love at all Without a song
