Emmylou Harris - One Of These Days Lyrics






I won't have to chop no wood
I can be bad or I can be good
I can be any way that I feel
One of these days

Might be a woman that's dressed in black
Be a hobo by the railroad track
I'll be gone like the wayward wind one of these days
One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry
And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside
One of these days I'll look back and I'll say I left in time
Cause somewhere for me I know there's peace of mind

I might someday walk across this land
Carrying the Lord's book in my hand
Goin' cross the country singin' loud as I can
One of these days

But I won't have trouble on my back
cuttin' like the devil with a choppin' axe,
Got to shake it off my back, one of these days
One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry
And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside
One of these days I'll look back and I'll say I left in time
Cause somewhere for me I know there's peace of mind
There's gonna be peace of mind for me, one of these days

Emmylou Harris One Of These Days Comments
  1. P.... ....

    Boy, age has really dimmed her voice. Gosh Im 60 and she was older then I when I use to listen to her songs. Wonder how old she is?

    P.... ....

    She is 69 years old and still one of the best singers in the World

    P.... ....

    @jef lynn No offence, its just her voice is not as strong as it was when she was twenty, whos is? She struggled to hold notes and hit notes, listen to her when she was in her 20's. This happens to ALL people so it's no wonder or mystery, I guess you still recall those you admire as forever young and hold them in your mind that way even thought we get older.

  2. J.... H....

    She was beautiful 25 years ago, but even more beautiful now. I love her.

  3. �.... �....

    Эта прекрасная леди всю свою жизнь радует людей всего мира своим ангельским голосом! Умница, даже в этом возрасте продолжает петь. Дай Бог ей сил ещё на много лет!

  4. M.... S....

    For you, Kreis. Rip ❣️ "there's gonna be peace of mind "

  5. L.... S....

    My Great-Uncle Peanutt Montgomery wrote this hit.

  6. F.... L....

    She is a woman among girls.

  7. E.... V....

    Well done!

  8. c.... ....

    I NEVER SEEN HER LIVE IN CONCERT , SHE IS ONE GIFTED LADY

  9. m.... ....

    Simply the best.

  10. B.... D....

    tougher than the rest, have to be. All everyone every says on line here is beauatiful she is. True! But she is more than that. A person, skilled singer, lasting over a long time in that industry is no small feat. I enjoy the songs and her interpretation of them. The soul is evident and the broken times are there if you listen

  11. M.... 9....

    WELL ... IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE , IN ONE WONDERFUL PACKAGE !

  12. P.... V....

    Emmylou in music is like Meryi Streep on stage

  13. G.... ....

    good singer

  32. R.... B....

    Emmy Lou that is the most beautiful woman with a beautiful voice I ❤️ her

  33. P.... C....

    Miss Emmy Lou has the voice of an angel. I have loved her for 40 years. Saw her in Sedona. What a show!!!!

  34. S.... I....

    I have to admit, I've never been a country music fan but, many many years ago I heard this song on her Elite Hotel album and I became a devoted Emmylou Harris fan. Have followed her from radiant black hair all the way to that amazing silver hair. Love you Emmylou and so thrilled to see you connected with the other love of my life, Brandi Carlile! Check out her and Brandi singing Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" together. So beautiful it will make you hurt ... in a good way.

  35. c.... ....

    I SEE MANY LADIES LETTING THERE HAIR GO GREY LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL EMMYLOU HARRIS

    c.... ....

    Look at her younger pictures, she was going grey when she was in her late 20's. Some people just go gray really early. Wonder if it has anything to do with their nationality? Like im part French and my hair has always been sorta sandy, at 60 I have very little grey but my sisters that took after the Romanian side with very dark black hair turned grey in their late 40's.

  36. V.... S....

    As beautiful as Emmylou is and as beautifully as she sings, she can get away with letting her hair turn to gleaming white silver.

  37. R.... P....

    Oh, you grey haired beauty with the hauntingly beautiful voice, I just can't get enough of you!

  38. C.... O....

    One of these days I'll marry Emmylou. Yeah right! LOL

    C.... O....

    No, I have dibs!!

  39. M.... L....

  78. S.... H....

    Emmylou has one the sweetest voices ever. I could listen to her all day.

  79. S.... N....

    Emmy is to Americana/Country what Patti Smith, Debbie Harry, and Joan Jett, etc. are to Rock 'N Roll.

    she speaks for so many women with the song " one of these days"

  81. T.... E....

  85. M.... H....

    "One Of These Days" is one of my favorites from the "Red Dirt Girl" from Birmingham, Alabama, Emmylou! I guarantee that Gram Parsons is smiling, along with other giants including Waylon, George & Tammy, Johnny and June too. These were people that helped Emmylou get into the Country Western scene in the mid - late 1970's. Now that same Red Dirt Girl from Alabama is being honored by many young Country Swing listeners as they are enjoying, learning, experiencing from the old timey country and western artists. This new generation of what I call "Hollywood Country"music are the rage today, but let us all remember that others paved the road for them by paying their dues thru Juke Joints to opening for George, Loretta. Emmylou took this great song into my generation via local fairs, beer joints, small town bandstands, AM/FM radio.... Every True Country Music Fan needs to hear this one song that captures the very essence of real country music! "Many Thanks"!

  86. t.... ....

    First I have to say that I am not a country fan . Strictly Classic rock. Now that being said I have always been an Emmylou Harris fan. I believe that she is one of the most beautiful creatures on Earth. she's just gorgeous .

    t.... ....

    not one of,the most!

    t.... ....

    Oh my tackless! I just posted a comment for this video and it sounds like I copied yours but I swear I'm just now reading it. It must be true what they say ... great minds think alike. 😊

  87. M.... ....

    Once, now and always a beautiful woman. And that voice...

  88. S.... M....

    I could listen to her all day and night - she's an American Treasure!

    S.... M....

    she sang a country song the way it SHOULD be sung. beautiful when she was younger. loved her voice and presentation.

    S.... M....

    She was cute when she was younger, beautiful now.

    S.... M....

    Not only an American One 👍

  89. D.... M....

    Greatest female singer ever...

  90. M.... M....

    Emmylou gets better looking the older she gets.

  91. m.... ....

    Whoops. I was expecting Pink Floyd.

  92. S.... M....

    What a voice

  93. E.... S....

    The hardest question to answer .. is Emmy more beautiful as a blonde or a brunette. I love both :)

  94. B.... S....

    when I watch what country music has become, and then I listen to Emmylou, I wonder what the hell happened? She's in a class by herself.

    B.... S....

    Always has been

    B.... S....

    Yes she is awesome!!

    B.... S....

    What happened........that flying hillibilly, Garth Brooks happened and its been downhill since.

    B.... S....

    Or as my dad always called him...…...Barf Brooks.@mariancolts

  95. E.... S....

    Emmy sings like an angel and looks like one too, whether blond or brunette. Been in love with her singing for over 40 years. This is REAL country music!!!!

    E.... S....

    Not Blond Ed, but gray. Still looks like an angel though.

    E.... S....

    Saw her perform at Stanford University about 50 years ago and had an opportunity to say hello to her on her tour bus about 10 years later. Her looks and voice have hardly changed over the years. She is very soft spoken and petite (and cute).

  96. g.... 6....

    emmy lou, always beautiful!

  97. A.... D....

    JE T'AIME EMMYLOU TU ES MAGNIFIQUE

  98. H.... W....

    who is playing lead guitar? great

    H.... W....

    I believe that is Brent Mason.
