Cabbage White

Cabbage White lives in the holler
pigs and goats and sons and daughters
a little nectar's all he's after
loves the music and the laughter

Cabbage White fly today
Cabbage White don't shy away
find red clover, roll her over
Cabbage White you cannot play
why you're here I cannot say

he don't mind those dandelions
he just thinks they look real fine
don't like birds of any kind
toads and earwigs blow his mind

Cabbage White fly today
Cabbage White don't shy away
find red clover, roll her over
Cabbage White you cannot pray
why we're here I cannot say

all his life is just a flutter by
never complains and he don't cry
lives his life with a gleam in his eye
he'll be here until he dies

Cabbage White wants Black-Eyed Susan
loves her dearly ain't no foolin'
but he also loves Red Clover
c'mon Cabbage that one's over

Cabbage White fly today
Cabbage White don't shy away
find red clover, roll her over
Cabbage White you cannot play
why you're here I cannot say

Cabbage White fly today
Cabbage White don't shy away
find red clover, roll her over
Cabbage White you cannot pray
why we're here I cannot say

Once someone has gone from your life, you'll never get the chance to tell them all the things you'd rehearsed in your mind.

LYRICS/VOCALS by Rachelle Wells. MUSIC/VOCALS John Staples

"Nothing Left to Say"

VERSE

Goodbye’s my favorite word
since I lost sight of you
If I say it enough times
Will I believe it’s true?

VERSE

When it’s quiet outside
I can almost hear your voice
Wish tonight that I might
See your face one last time

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

VERSE

i can choose the image
that you make in my mind
pretendin' that one day
you would've been mine

VERSE

if only i’d been brave enough
to finally take the chance
i stayed silent and afraid
Said no to the dance

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

BRIDGE

Lay that pretty head down
Right here next to mine
I’ll listen to you breathing
As our fingers entwine

Oh, I’m just daydreamin’
Regret’s my closest friend
I ought to put it all away
This song will be the end

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

END TAG

Wishes mean nothing
When it’s far too late
Now there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say
