Sweet Is The Melody---Iris DeMent

Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by.
It's so hard to make every note bend just right.
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace,
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place.

Well, the dance floor's for gliding and not jumping over ponies.
Where boots and gold bracelets come and meet as they should.
It's for celebrating a Friday night romance:
Forgetting the bad stuff and just feeling good.

Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by.
It's so hard to make every note bend just right.
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace,
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place.

Oh, an arm's just an arm 'til it's wrapped 'round a shoulder;
Looped side by side they go stepping out together.
A note's just a note 'til you wake from your slumber,
And dare to discover the new melody.

Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by.
It's so hard to make every note bend just right.
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace,
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place.

Instrumental break.

Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by.
It's so hard to make every note bend just right.
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace,
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place.

Ooh, ooh.
Ooh ooh.

Oh, brothers!
We have all gathered here to preserve our hallowed culture and heritage from intrusion, inclusion and dilution of colour, of creed, and of our old-time religion.
We aim to pull evil up by the root before it chokes out the flower of our culture and heritage.
And our women, let's not forget those ladies, y'all, looking to us for protection from Darkies, from Jews, from Papists, and from all those smart-ass folks say we come descended from monkeys.
That's not my culture and heritage.
