[Chorus]
Love thy neigh
bor as thyself
Do unto him as
you'd have hi
m do to you
Give him thing
s that you can
do without to
help him live
Love thy neigh
bor as thyself
and he will l
ove you too
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Now this old world could be a lonesome place without a friend
N.C.
We need each other everyday, together we can win
N.C.
There's a little good in every man, though countless be his faults
N.C.
And a word of kindness you might speak can change his inward thoughts
[Chorus]
Love thy neigh
bor as thyself
Do unto him as
you'd have hi
m do to you
Give him thing
s that you can
do without to
help him live
Love thy neigh
bor as thyself
and he will l
ove you too
[Instreumental]
[Verse 2]
N.C.
I once new a couple fellows near my old homestead
N.C.
I just wish all the world could live the way they did
N.C.
They swapped out work and lent each other money, mules and plows
N.C.
And I've seen them many times dividing milk from one old cow
[Chorus]
Love thy neigh
bor as thyself
Do unto him as
you'd have hi
m do to you
Give him thing
s that you can
do without to
help him live
Love thy neigh
bor as thyself
and he will l
ove you too
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
N.C.
We need old-timey neighborhoods with hearts that are free of greed
N.C.
God make us good old-fashioned folks who'll be a friend in need
N.C.
If you want a friend, then be a friend, do not through charity slack
N.C.
Do your deeds without a price, someone will pay you back
[Chorus]
Love thy neigh
bor as thyself
Do unto him as
you'd have hi
m do to you
Give him thing
s that you can
do without to
help him live
Love thy neigh
bor as thyself
and he will l
ove you too
Love
