Highway headed south (Dolly Parton)<\/a><\/p>\n

When we lived in North York, Toronto, I borrowed a record from the Library of Porter Wagoner singing: \u201cOn a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie, where the cotton blooms in the spring, and the snow don\u2019t fly.\u201d I fell instantly in love with that song. I was so tired of the cold weather in Canada, and longed to be in the southern states. So this is one of my favorite songs. I can\u2019t find him on the net, so here is Dolly singing her song.<\/p>\n

Porter Wagoner has A Satisfied Mind<\/a><\/p>\n

I first heard this song by Cowboy Copas. I was visiting the Ogdens in Gwelo (now Gweru) in 1966, and they had an LP record of Cowboy Copas singing this song. Many years later I bought the LP of Porter singing it. There are many lessons in this song.<\/p>\n

Life\u2019s railroad<\/a><\/p>\n

When I was a teenager, I remember Jim Reeves talking about Porter, but I never heard any of his songs on the radio in Rhodesia. Then when I went to South Africa, I saw some of his gospel records in a gospel bookstore and bought some of them. One of my favourite songs is still: \u201cBlow ye the trumpet in Zion, our Lord is coming back to earth again. (Tell your children)<\/p>\n

If Jesus came to your house<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would you do, what would you do, if Jesus came to spend some time with you?\u201d That song has a very powerful message. I sang that song hundreds of times in churches in Africa. When I sang that song, it was as if I could picture all the scenes in houses where we had lived.<\/p>\n

Wait a little longer please Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a record of this song, but I couldn\u2019t find it by Porter, so here is Daniel O\u2019Donnell.<\/p>\n

Pastor\u2019s absent on vacation<\/a><\/p>\n

I sang this song in a church once, and the pastor got very angry with me, and I never sang it again. I have nothing against people taking vacations, but I just feel there should be a replacement.<\/p>\n

Trouble in amen corner<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a record of Jim Reeves singing this song, and it has a lot of truths. Some people criticized all my songs and my singing, so that is why I don\u2019t sell my recordings any more. In fact I still can\u2019t write songs anymore. Maybe soon I\u2019ll get healed.<\/p>\n

Rank Strangers<\/a><\/p>\n

I had this song on a record.<\/p>\n

Suppertime<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a record of Jim Reeves singing this song too, so I\u2019ll add it in here.<\/p>\n

Canaan\u2019s Land<\/a><\/p>\n

I had three LP records of his Gospel songs, so I am loading this one on too.<\/p>\n

I also have a Gospel web site<\/span>. If you want to check it out, go to:\u00a0 http:\/\/countrygospelandbible.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
