God bless Texas and Deacon Shackleford He read the bible seven times and he believed every word That ol beat up leather book had been through it all He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw singing Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat Hed take me fishing after church, he taught me things I needed to know No Deacon didnt have a family, Lord knows he wished he did He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid And today he joined up with Jesus wearin shiny pearl snaps We sang a few gospel hymns and then the soldier played Taps I bet hes walkin with Pete down a street paved with gold Showin off his brand spankin new wings and his barbed wire halo He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through She held his right arm next to his anchor tattoo He was on a ship off at sea, when she died in child birth He lost his whole world from the far side of the Earth He lost the will to love, he lost the will to live Until he met a man who taught him to forgive Yeah life took him to hell and back, to hell and back a time or two But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue Singin I once was lost, but now Im found, was blind but now I see… And today he joined up with Jesus wearin shiny pearl snaps We sang a few gospel hymns and then the soldier played Taps I bet hes walkin with Pete down a street paved with gold Showin off his brand spankin new wings and his barbed wire halo Before he went, he made me promise him that I wouldnt cry And though I told him that I wouldnt, you know I couldnt help but lie Cause today he joined up with Jesus wearin shiny pearl snaps We sang a few gospel hymns and then the soldier played Taps I bet hes walking with Pete down a street paved with gold As sure as the old church bell still rings He always said he had country in his soul Hes showin off his brand spankin new wings and his barbed wire halo Sweet chariot comin forth to carry me home Swing low sweet chariot comin forth to carry me home

The old man was sitting on the tailgate of a 62 Ford flatbed Picking on an old guitar, he looked at me and said The engine’s dead It was a good run son, as he strummed a melancholy chord Now Ive got nothing but time to kill until the coming of the Lord He played me a few songs, one about a Randall knife One about a train, one about the pain of losing the love of his life He took a puff of that cigarette, he blew a breath of smoke that could smother He said They always said these would kill me and they did then he laughed and he lit another He said I hear that you write songs boy, play me one that I might know So I sang him my latest greatest hit, a number one on music row He stopped me before I could finish the verse, said I think Ive heard enough of that When you’ve heard one youve heard em all, with a grimace of a grin he took his old guitar back He said I guess thats alright if thats all youve got to give If thats all youve got to say in this one life youve got to live There’s no meaning in your melody so predictable and weak Wasted words and shallow rhymes I’d rather hear a woman cuss me a blue streak You see, the pencil to the pad is like the bullet to the gun The pen is mightier than the sword if the words are forged from fire from the sun Yet some do it for the fame, the fun, the money and all the glory Yet some do it for their weary soul, wont rest until they tell their story You gotta make ’em feel what you feel, help em dream a dream and make em wonder Its like catch lightning in a bottle, make ’em smell the rain and hear the thunder Let em taste the tears of joy or the bittersweet taste of sin Find the passion in a four letter word or a Sunday morning Amen And then he flicked his ashes and he pointed at my heart Said if youre searching for solid gold, thatd be a real good place to start Let the words speak for themselves, tell the truth, right or wrong And bare your soul for all to see all for the sake of the song
Pinch me I must be dreaming waking up with you and feeling The tender touch of your good morning kiss No where else on earth is better than being next to you Next to heaven, it doesnt get any better than this Next to heaven lies my fate, my best friend and my sole mate God knows this kind of love only comes from up above Youre the answer to my prayers, nothing else compare Im next to heaven when I am next to you You look just like an angel tangled in white satin sheets Lying there with your hair all in a mess I swear you look your best all dressed up next to nothing Next to heaven, it doesnt get any better than this Chorus

Deep in the mountain of Harlan County Employed by the Cumberland coal company The pay is short, the days are long But our labor union laws are coming on strong So I drink this whiskey for my throat Wear my hard hat and weathered coat Early every morning I stand in line Waiting to work these Kentucky coal mines We enter the shaft around five thirty With two dozen hands, cold, callused and dirty Well dig through a million tons of rock and clay And well still be digging at the end of the day Down on our knees we confess our sins And pray that the roof above dont cave in So bless our hearts and save or souls And the air we breathe down in the devils hole Just last week when the the ceiling fell The explosion trapped us in the depths of hell The weight of the earth took poor Tuckers life Leaving behind a hungry baby and wife We dug out with our shovels and picks But soon enough the black lung disease will make us sick So bless our hearts and save or souls And the air we breathe down in the devils hole I work deep in the mountains of eastern Kentucky I know if I leave Harlan alive Ill be more than lucky Wish I could go to Texas and plant some cottonseed But moving takes money and Ive got three mouths to feed So I drink this whiskey for my throat Wear my hard hat and weathered coat Early every morning I stand in line Waiting to work another Kentucky coal mine

How to use

How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/aaron-watson")

Dataset Structure

An example of 'train' looks as follows.

This example was too long and was cropped:

{
    "text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}

Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

text: a string feature.

Data Splits

train	validation	test
181	-	-

'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:

from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np

datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/aaron-watson")

train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03

train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])

datasets = DatasetDict(
    {
        'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
        'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
        'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
    }
)
