1. Jimmie Davis \u2013 You are my sunshine<\/a><\/p>\n

I have sung many times at senior citizen homes, and one of the favorite love songs they always want is: \u201cYou are my sunshine, my only sunshine.\u201d The chorus of the song is so nice, but unfortunately the verses are very sad. I guess Jimmie Davis wrote a lot of songs. I heard on the radio once that he gave Colonel Tom Parker the \u2018Colonel\u2019 title when he was governor of Louisiana.<\/p>\n

2. With Dottie Rambo \u2013 Nobody\u2019s darling \u00a0and \u00a0You are my sunshine<\/a><\/p>\n

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Dottie Rambo was signed to Jimmie Davis’ record company in the old days.<\/p>\n

3. There\u2019s a new moon over my shoulder<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Suppertime \u2013 Porter Wagoner show<\/a><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0The three\u00a0rusty\u00a0nails<\/a><\/p>\n

Back in the 70\u2032s I sang at a high school, and a student lent me a record of Jimmie Davis singing a song called: ‘The three nails.’ I call it \u2018The three rusty nails.\u2019 That song is so powerful. When I was learning to sing the song I would stand in the bathroom, because the acoustics were better there, and I would sing that song over and over again. The tears would be streaming down my cheeks, as I felt for Jesus suffering on the cross for my sins. No other song had ever done that to me. I remember recording that song on my first cassette tape, and someone told me once that he played that tape for another guy and he gave his heart to the Lord. When we first visited America, I saw that J.D.Sumner and and Stamps Quartet also had that song on one of their records.<\/p>\n

6. I was there when it happened<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Dear Jesus abide with me<\/a><\/p>\n

8. I\u2019ve got a mansion<\/a><\/p>\n

9. I won\u2019t have to cross Jordan alone<\/a><\/p>\n

10. Someone to care<\/a><\/p>\n

11. Lord I\u2019m coming home<\/a><\/p>\n

12. At the crossing<\/a><\/p>\n

13. I\u2019ve been changed<\/a><\/p>\n

14. Do you ever think to pray<\/a><\/p>\n

15. The three nails<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a “live” version of the song.<\/p>\n

16. At Sundown<\/p>\n

I had an LP of Jimmie Davis when I was in Africa where he sang a song, \u201cAt sundown, I\u2019m going home, at sundown, no more to roam. Sweet voices are calling, calling me, and I\u2019m going home at sundown.\u201d About an old man who was going home for the last time. When we were in Canada the first time, we had a painting on the wall of Canadian geese flying at sunset across a field. At that time I was so homesick for Africa. I would stand in front of that painting and sing the Sundown song, and get so sad and blue. The heart is a strange thing. It is different from the mind. Even now while I am in Canada again, I long for Africa. I know there is lots of killing there, but my heart still longs for the good old days that I experienced when I was young.<\/p>\n
