I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet
I introduced her to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
I'm know now just what I have lost
Yes, I've lost my little darlin'
The night they were playin' the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
I'm know now just what I have lost
Yes, I've lost my little darlin'

Stupid cupid, you're a real mean guy
I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly
I love him, it's a cryin' shame
And I know that you're the one to blame
Hey, hey, set me free
Stupid cupid, stop pickin' on me
I can't do my homework and I can't think straight
I meet him ev'ry mornin' about half past eight
I'm acting like a lovesick fool
He's even got my carrying his books to school
Hey, hey, set me free
Stupid cupid, stop pickin' on me
Well, you mixed me up but good
Right from the very start
Hey, don't play Robin Hood
With somebody else's heart
You got me jumpin' like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what you're puttin' down
Since I kissed your lovin' lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is I like it fine
Hey, hey, set me free
Stupid cupid, stop pickin' on me
Well, you mixed me up but good
Right from the very start
Hey, don't play Robin Hood
With somebody else's heart
You got me jumpin' like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what you're puttin' down
Since I kissed your lovin' lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is I like it fine
Hey, hey, set me free
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along
Singing a song, side by side
I don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharing our load, side by side
Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together
It really doesn't matter at all
When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just traveling along
Singing a song, side by side
Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together
It really doesn't matter at all
When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just traveling along
Everything you told me I believed
You said that I was all that you'd ever need
That I made life worth livin' for you
And no one else could ever fill my shoes
But them shoes don't fit me anymore
They lost their shape when I lost all that I cared for
And someone else will fill the shoes that I once wore
'Cause them shoes don't fit me anymore
When a shoe is new, it fits awful tight
When our love was new, everything was right
When a shoe is old, you throw it away
Our love is like the shoes that you wore yesterday
But them shoes don't fit me anymore
They lost their shape when I lost all that I cared for
And someone else will fill the shoes that I once wore
I must make up my mind today
What to have, what to hold
A poor man's roses
Or a rich man's gold
One's as wealthy as a king in a palace
Tho' he's callous and cold
He may learn to give his heart for love
Instead of buyin' it with gold
Then the poor man's roses
And the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold
For the rose of love means more to me
More than any rich man's gold
Let the teardrops fall
You said you wasn't gonna call
You didn't love me at all
So let the teardrops fall
Since you've been gone
I've been so blue
And I spend my time
Just a-thinkin' of you
Well, I sit here at home
By my telephone
Hopin' you'll change your mind
Well, it's you I dream of
And I need your love
So tell me you'll be mine
'Cause the sun won't shine
And the moon it won't glow
And these lonely nights
All pass too slow
Sweet memories
I still recall
But I miss you so
So let the teardrops fall
Well, I sit here at home
By my telephone
Hopin' you'll change your mind
Well, it's you I dream of
And I need your love
So tell me you'll be mine
'Cause the sun won't shine
And the moon it won't glow
And these lonely nights
All pass too slow
Sweet memories
I still recall
But I miss you so
Imagine me still lovin' you
After all you've put me through
Well, I can't help it, I just do
Imagine that and that's not the half
Imagine this, if you can
I've stood more, more than I should stand
But I'd still take you back again
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
Can you believe I'd swallow my pride
Well, yes, yes, I guess you can
'Cause you know you've always had my foolish heart
Right in the palm of your hand
So, for what it's worth to you
It, it just don't matter what you might do
'Cause I'm still waitin' and lovin' you
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
So, for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
'Cause I'll still be waitin' and lovin' you
If I could see the world
Through the eyes of a child
What a wonderful world this would be
There'd be no trouble and no strife
Just a big happy life
With a bluebird in every tree
I could see right, no wrong
I could see good, no bad
I could see all the good things
In life I've never had
If I could see the world
Through the eyes of a child
I cried all the way to the altar
A smile was on my face, but tears were in my heart
Two hearts broken and a third will soon falter
Now too late, I know that we were wrong to part
Oh, my darling now too late
We can't go back and start anew
Now too late, I've thrown away
My chance of happiness with you
I cried all the way to the altar
Now too late, I know that we were wrong to part
Take a calendar and turn back all the pages
Take my life, turn back each day since I was born
I cried all the way to the altar
Now too late, I see the damage I have done
Oh, my darling now too late
We can't go back and start anew
Now too late, I've thrown away
My chance of happiness with you
I cried all the way to the altar
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And she looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feelin'
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
Tonight alone I'm thinkin'
Of the things we used to do
There's laughter all around me
But my heart still aches for you
The wedding bells are ringing
But to me their chimes are blue
How can I face tomorrow
When I know I'm losin' you?
The dreams we shared
Have all been torn apart
It's your wedding day
But I can't claim your heart
Now someone else will hold you
Just the way I use to do
How can I face tomorrow
When I know I'm losin' you?
The dreams we shared
Have all been torn apart
It's your wedding day
But I can't claim your heart
Now someone else will hold you
Just the way I use to do
How can I face tomorrow
Come on dad get with the jive
Let's let them know that we're alive
Until the break of dawn
We'll yell for more, more, more
Gonna live it up and tear it down
Get in the groove and paint the town
Gotta lot of rhythm in my soul
Well, now, baby, baby, let's go tonight
Together you and me
Baby, baby, when ya hold me tight
Ooh, wee, whatcha do to me
The big black hand's on the clock
Tell me that it's time to rock
Gotta lot of rhythm in my soul
Big bad beat with a crazy bop
When the lights are low and the music's hot
Dance from 2 to 3 and then a half past 4
When that sun peeps over the hill
I won't stop, I'll be rockin' still
Gotta lot of rhythm in my soul
Well, now, baby, baby, let's go tonight
Together you and me
Baby, baby when ya hold me tight
Ooh, wee, whatcha do to me
The big black hand's on the clock
Tell me that it's time to rock
Gotta lot of rhythm in my soul
Well, now, baby, baby, let's go tonight
Together you and me
Baby, baby when ya hold me tight
Ooh, wee, whatcha do to me
The big black hand's on the clock
Tell me that it's time to rock
Gotta lot of rhythm in my soul
The first scene was the church, then the altar
Where we claimed each other, with tears of joy we cried
Our friends wished us luck there forever
As we walked from the church, side by side
The next scene was a crowded courtroom
And like strangers we sat side by side
Then I heard the judge make his decision
And no longer were we man and wife
I hate the sight of that courtroom
Where man made laws push God's laws aside
Then the clerk wrote our story in the record
A church, a courtroom and then goodbye
We walked from that courtroom together
We shook hands and once again we cried
Then it was the end of our story

You think you love Sue
But when I get thru with you
You won't ever look at Sue again...
I'm gonna be so good to you
I'm gonna love you my whole life thru
Pretty soon you'll feel the same
You won't even know her name
I'll give ya kisses that she can't beat
I'll treat you so nice and sweet
When I get thru with you
You'll love me too, not Sue
When I get thru with you
You'll love me too
I'm gonna treat you sweet and kind
I'll drive her right outta your mind
And you won't know her if you meet
Walk right by her on the street
Because I want you and need you so
Poor Susie will have to go
When I get thru with you
You'll love me too, not Sue
When I get thru with you
You'll love me too
I'm gonna be so good to you
I'll love you my whole life thru
Pretty soon you'll feel the same

I've got my life in such a mess
And I don't know what to do
How can I live in this ol' world
And be in love with two
If I said goodbye to my first true love
My heart would break in two
For I'm halfway still in love with him
And half in love with you
(Chorus)
Tra le la le la le la triangle
Tra le la le la le la triangle
Tra le la le la le la triangle
My life's in such a tangle

What'll I do about you
I saw you at the movie show
Just the other day
But I was with my other love
So I looked the other way
I didn't want to hurt him
Couldn't bear for him to see
The way that I would look at you
And the way you look at me

Deep within my heart
Lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone,
Where in dreams I live
With a memory,
Beneath the stars all alone.
Well, it was there I found
Beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the
Blue up above,
For that moonlit pass
That only he would know
Still hears my broken song of love.
Moon in all your splendor,
Known only to my heart,
Call back my rose,
Rose of San Antone!
Lips so sweet and tender,
Like petals fallinapart,
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song,
Empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone,
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo,
And rose my rose of San Antone!
Broken song, empty words, I know,
Still live in my heart all alone,
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo,
And rose my rose of San AntoneAnd rose my rose of San AntoneAnd rose my rose
of San Antone!

You changed everything
We're not even friends

Don't leave the job half done
Leave nothing behind
You took him off my hands

Engraved on my heart so blue

My love and I, in a small caf?BR> Then a stranger came along

And I sit alone
And watch one cigarette burn away

There he goes, he's walkin' away

I'd be the one, walkin' by his side

Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves, the hills and tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail
Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In that land forevermore

Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us

Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on both'rin' me
Chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Each night in dreams I see your face
Mem'ries time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you've gone
I'm so blue, I'm all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two open arms
(That lonesome feeling all the time)
(Knowing you cannot be mine)
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we could never keep
Too far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two open arms

Jesus keep me from all wrong

As I walk, let me walk close to Thee

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me shall be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom's shore, to Thy shore
When life's sun sinks in the west
Lord, may I have done my best
May I find sweet peace and rest
In that happy home of the blessed

No, I don't understand your kind of love

Then why am I all yours

Then I'm weak
For I still fall apart when we speak

With no thought of what used to be

You can't imagine how it hurts me
To have you treat me like you do
Knowing that my love is just a joke to you
But I'll take it just to see you
And laugh as teardrops fall
So when you need a laugh, give me a call
Everybody says I'm crazy
To let you treat me this way
But I can't explain, so, what else can I say
At least I'm on your mind when you're laughin'
Somehow that breaks the fall
So when you need a laugh, give me a call
I'd gladly trade the laugh you get
For making fun of me
To be around the one I love and need so desperately
So even if the laugh's on me
I don't mind at all

How much would I cry if we'd ever part

Who cares if the sky should fall

Strange how you stopped needing me, how stopped loving me when she came along. Oh, how strange.
Strange you changed like night & day; just up & walked away, when she came along. Oh, how strange.
Well, I guess that I was just a puppet you put on a string. To think I thought you really loved me, but look what thoughts can bring.
Strange you're still in all my dreams. Oh, what a funny thing. Oh, how strange.

South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where they fell in love when stars above came out to play
And now as they wander, their thoughts ever stray
South of the border, down Mexico way
She was a picture in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while he kissed the smile upon her face
For it was Fiesta and they were so gay
South of the border, down Mexico way
Then she sighed as she whispered "Manana"
Never dreaming that they were parting
And he lied as he whispered "Manana"
For that tomorrow never came
South of the border, he rode back one day
There in a veil of white by candlelight she knelt to pray
The mission bells told him that he mustn't stay

But I've seen the light, darlin, I'll make it right
I was wrong
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT LAST VERSE
Seven lonely days make one lonely week
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were thru
Seven lonely days I cried and I cried for you
Oh, my darlin' I'm cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
There's no use in denyin' I cried for you
It's your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
Last week was the last time I cried for you
Seven hankies blue I filled with my tears
Seven letters true I filled with my fears
Guess it never pays to make your lover blue
Seven lonely days I cried and I cried for you
Oh, my darlin I'm cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Now, there's no use in denyin' I cried for you
It's your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
Last week was the last time I cried for you
Last week was the last time I cried for you
I'm looking for that lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called Lonely Street?
A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street?
Perhaps upon that lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love die
If I could find that lonely street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street?

I've loved and lost again
Oh, what a crazy world we're livin' in
True love has no chance to win
I've loved and lost again
I ask you what chance have I
When each love I meet just makes me cry
He loves awhile then says goodbye
I've loved and lost again
CHORUS:
To be true to one alone
Don't seem to matter anymore
They tell you you're out of style
Unless you've had three or four

We've been sweethearts for so long
But now you say we're thru
The love we shared is now a memory
I have built a ship of dreams
And planned them all for you
But now I guess what is to be, will be
CHORUS:
I'll sail my ship alone
With all the dreams I own
Drifting out across the ocean blue
Yes, I'll sail my ship alone
Tho' all the sails you've torn
And when it starts to sinkin'
I'll blame you
Now, I gave a message to the wind
To take back home to you
Hoping you would hear my S-O-S
I thought that you would come back home
My darlin', if you knew
How much my achin' heart was in distress
Well,
REPEAT CHORUS

(As recorded by Patsy Cline 8/24/61)
I love you so much, it hurts me
Darlin, that's why I'm so blue
I'm so afraid to go to bed at night
Afraid of losing you
I love you so much, it hurts me
And there's nothing I can do
I want to hold you my dear, forever and ever
I love you so much, it hurts me so
(Repeat last verse)

I'm hungry for love
Like a hobo for food
Like the devil hunts for bad
Like the angel looks for good
I've been oh, so lonesome
Your letters aren't enough
My arms will welcome you home
Dear, I'm hungry for love
I've cried so many tears, dear
Sweetheart, since you've been gone
I hope that you forgive me
I'll admit that I was wrong
I won't try to change you
I miss you much to much
Darlin', please come home
I'm hungry for love
I've cried so many tears, dear
Sweetheart, since you've been gone
I hope that you forgive me
I'll admit that I was wrong
I won't try to change you
I miss you much to much
Darlin', please come home

Heartaches, heartaches
My loving you meant only heartaches
Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me
I can't believe it's just a burning memory
Heartaches, heartaches
What does it matter how my heart breaks
I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches for you
(Repeat verse 1 and 2)
Heartaches, heartaches
What does it matter how my heart breaks
I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches
And my heart breaks
And my heart aches for you
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you miss me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
As I look at the letters that you wrote to me
It's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines, that to me were so dear
I remember our faded love
I miss you, darling, more and more everyday
As Heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
And remember our faded love
As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had
As I watched the mating of the dove
It was in the spring time that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love
I miss you, darling, more and more everyday
As Heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
And remember our faded love

(Chorus)
I'm back in baby's arms
How I missed those lovin' arms
I'm back where I belong
Back in baby's arms
Don't know why we quarreled
We never did before
Since we found out how it hurt
I bet we never quarrel anymore
(Repeat Chorus)
Thought I didn't need his love
'Til he took it away
Now I'm back where I belong
And in my baby's arms I'm gonna stay
(Repeat Chorus)
Back in baby's arms...

(As recorded by Patsy Cline, February 5, 1963)
I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always
When the things you plan
Need a helping hand
I will understand, always, always
Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year, but, always
Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
And, not for just a year, but, always

(As recorded by Patsy Cline November 8, 1956)
I must make up my mind today
What to have, what to hold
A poor man's roses
Or a rich man's gold
One's as wealthy as a king in a palace
Tho' he's callous and cold
He may learn to give his heart for love
Instead of buyin' it with gold
Then the poor man's roses
And the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold
For the rose of love means more to me
More than any rich man's gold
(Repeat last two verses)

The first scene was the church, then the altar
Where we claimed each other, with tears of joy we cried
Our friends wished us luck there forever
As we walked from the church, side by side
The next scene was a crowded courtroom
And like strangers we sat side by side
Then I heard the judge make his decision
And no longer were we man and wife
I hate the sight of that courtroom
Where man-made laws push God's laws aside
Then the clerk wrote our story in the record
A church, a courtroom and then goodbye
We walked from that courtroom together
We shook hands and once again we cried
Then it was the end of our story
A church, a courtroom and then goodbye

Oh stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of goin' round n' round
I played the game of love and lost
So stop the world and let me off
My heart is shattered can't you see
'Cause you no longer care for me
But someday I'm sure you'll see
Loving you did this to me
My dream world tumbled to the ground
The one I love has let me down
I lost the wonder of his kiss
How could he leave me here like this

I know his love for me has died
I lost the wonder of his kiss
How could he leave me here like this

Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone
Just as I love you
Can't you see I'm sorry
For each mistake I've made
Can't you see I've changed, dear
Can't you see I've paid
Be a little forgiving
Take me back in your heart
How can I go on living
Now that we're apart

Then you'd know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue

Like fallin' rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you
When tears come down
Like fallin' rain
You'll toss around

You're gonna walk the floor

Your cheatin' heart
Is gonna tell on you
YOU WERE ONLY FOOLING
(While I Was Falling In Love)
Words by Billy Faber and Fred Meadows
Music by Larry Fotine
YOU WERE ONLY FOOLING,
WHILE I WAS FALLING IN LOVE,
IT'S A STORY AS OLD AS ADAM AND EVE,
I WAS MAKING LOVE BUT YOU WERE MAKING BELIEVE,
YOU LIED TO ME WITH KISSES,
I TRIED TO STOP DREAMING OF,
BUT YOU WERE ONLY FOOLING ME,
WHILE I WAS FALLING IN LOVE.

You made me love you
I didn't want to do it

You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
Sometimes you made me glad
But there were times, dear
You made me feel so bad
You made me sigh for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do
Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you
You made me sigh for
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some lovin', that's true

Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And she looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feelin'
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Who can I count on
If I can't count on you
I never counted on you
Makin' me blue
They say your a runnin' 'round
With somebody new
Who can I count on
If I can't count on you
I thought I held a precious key to heaven
Your love was sweet and gentle at the start
But now I feel that I can't go on livin'
If livin' means that we must live apart
Who can I count on
If I can't count on you
There goes my happiness
And here comes the blues
I can't convince myself that
We're really thru
Who can I count on
If I can't count on you
The door to happiness was almost open
Just one more step or two and I'd be in
Then all at once the vows you made were broken
The door to happiness was closed again
Who can I count on
If I can't count on you
There goes my happiness
And here comes the blues
I can't convince myself
That we're really thru
Who can I count on
If I can't count on you
Who can I count on
Who can I count on
Who can I count on

Tho' we said goodbye
When the moon was high
Does your heart beat for me
I wonder if I still linger
In your memory
When you hear my name
Is the thrill the same
As it once used to be
When you're lonesome, my sweetheart
Does your heart beat for me
When you hear my name
Hear my name
Is the thrill the same
Thrill the same
As it once used to be
When you're lonesome, my sweetheart
Does your heart beat for me
Blue is not the word for the way that I feel
And the storm brewing in this heart of mine.
This is not pleasure dream I know that its real
Your someone else's love now your not mine
Crazy arms that reach to horse somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying your not mine
My troubled mind no soon to another you will be with
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
Please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time

He takes me to the places you and I used to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that I never got from you
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you
He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
And I'm lucky to have such a guy; I hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me, too, his love is true
Why can't he be you
He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul
And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know
But his kisses leave me cold
He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love
And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you

Got a feelin' cause I'm blue, oh, Lord
Since my daddy said goodbye
I don't know what I'm gonna do
All I do is sit and cry, oh, Lord
That last long day he said goodbye
Oh, Lord, I thought I would die
He'll do ya, he'll do me, he's got that kinda lovin'
But, Lord, I love to hear him when he calls me sweet baby
What a beautiful dream
I hate to think it all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to that man, somehow
And I'm nobody's sugar-baby now
'Cause I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
Now I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy
That's what's the matter with me
Well, I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy
But he don't care about me
Well, I tried and I tried to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn't stay
But now that he is leavin', this is all I've got to say
I got a feelin' cause I'm blue, oh Lord, since my daddy said goodbye

I go to church on a Sunday
The vows that I make, I break them on Monday
The rest of the week, I do as I please
Then come Sunday morning, I pray on my knees
Dear God, I know I'm not worthy
But I need you so please won't you hurry
And help me turn back from the path I have trod
You'll never be sorry, dear God
Each day we read in the paper
Of the carryin's on of some of our neighbors
We're sinnin' and lyin' and forgetting the faith
Then we have the nerve to ask is it too late
Dear God, I know I'm not worthy

I had a dream last night that I held you
And you still seemed as handsome to me
But when I awoke I found you missin'
It's just another crazy dream for me
(Chorus)
Crazy dreams linger on as I face an empty dawn
With no end to it all can I see
For I've surely reached the end
Lost your love to a friend
Just another crazy dream for me
Once you were mine and we were so happy
I never thought that the end soon would be
But now that you're gone, and I'm so lonesome
It's just another crazy dream for me
(Repeat chorus)
Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on botherin' me
Chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Each night in dreams I see your face
Memories time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you gone
I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
That lonesome feelin' all the time
Knowing you cannot be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we could never keep
Too far away from lips so sweet and warm

I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces, how can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me, too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
Crazy
I'm crazy for feelin so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feelin so blue

What in the world did I do
Crazy
For thinkin that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin

Anytime you're feelin' blue
Anytime you feel down-hearted
That will prove your love for me is true

So anytime you say you want me back again
That's the time I'll come on home to you
Anytime

That will prove your love for me is true
Anytime you're thinkin' 'bout me
That's the time I'll be thinkin' of you
So anytime you say you want me back again
That's the time I'll come on home to you
You don't know the meaning
Of the words, 'I love you so'
But when you've found your one love
Then you'll know
You don't know the heartache
Or the laughter you'll forgo
Until you've lost that one love
Then you'll know
Now you pretend to care for me
But honey, if you do
Why don't you give the kind of kiss
I always give to you
So, I've just made my mind up
Even tho' my tears will flow
Go on and find a new love
Then you'll know
Now you pretend to care for me
But honey, if you do

We can't row row row
We can't row
Row row row
Row row row
Well I tell you for the last time
And I told you this before
If you want to keep your mama
Ya gotta love me more and more
Cause there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row
We can't row row row
We can't row

I'm a-walkin' the dog and I'm never blue
I'm a-walkin' that dog, I not thinkin' 'bout you
I don't need no one to tie me down
'Cause I'm walkin' that dog and a-paintin' the town
Such an easy life, I never knew
Well, I can't believe that it's really true
Well, I'm a carefree gal that's seen the light
And I'm a-walkin' that dog all the day and all night
Well, I'm full of pep, I just can't grow old
I got a one-track mind, so I've been told
But I'm fancy free, I don't worry no how
'Cause I'm walkin' that dog, all the law will allow
Such an easy life, I never knew
Until the day that I left you
Well, I'm a carefree gal that's seen the light
Yes I understand that I'm to set you free
Yes I understand you love her more than me
I understand she won your heart
Stole your love, drew us apart
I understand and so I'll let you go
I tried my best to do the things
I thought would please you dear
I never dreamed the time would come
When you would not be here
Yes I understand what I'm supposed to do
Find me someone else to take the place of you
And if I live a hundred years
I'll find some way to hide these tears
I understand and so I'll let you go
I tried my best to do the things
I thought would please you dear
I never dreamed the time would come
When you would not be here
Yes I understand what I'm supposed to do
Find me someone else to take the place of you
And if I live a hundred years
I'll find some way to hide these tears
Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you
And I'm painting the town feeling blue
Should you ever love one that's untrue?
Then you'll know why I want to cry, it's over you
Well, I tried you all over again
And you just smiled all over again
I should have known that you'd never be true
Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you
Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you
And I'm painting the town feeling blue
Should you ever love one that's untrue?
Then you'll know why I want to cry, it's over you
Well, tomorrow I'll be twice as blue
I'm so low I could die over you
Yes, I'm asking for heartaches anew
I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of sayin' I love you
I'm always walkin' after midnight, searchin' for you
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow, maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me, I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight, just hopin' you may be
Somewhere a-walkin' after midnight, searchin' for me
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow, maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me, I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight, just hopin' you may be
Somewhere a-walkin' after midnight, searchin' for me
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Please don't double-deal to win my heart
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Don't go breakin' rules right from the start
The ramblin', gamblin', reckless way you treat my heart's a sin
Each night down on my knees I pray your gamblin' ways will end
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Please don't double-deal to win my heart
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Don't go breakin' rules right from the start
The ramblin', gamblin', reckless way you treat my heart's a sin
Each night down on my knees I pray your gamblin' ways will end
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Try again, don't feel blue
Try again, I've been through, feelin' blue
Same as you, I've been broken hearted
And cried the whole night through
Sorry, now we've parted 'cause no one else will do
Try again, so they say
Try again, say goodbye to the tear in your eye
Somethin' seems to tell me that we could love again
Try again, says my heart, try again
Try again, so they say
Try again, say goodbye to the tear in your eye
Somethin' seems to tell me that we could love again
Last night I met a woman, you'll recognize her name
Who, in our conversation told me you were her old flame
Well, I didn't want to listen but as she told me more
I learned more about you than I ever knew before
You're keepin' too many secrets from me
But, baby, now I'm wise to you you'll fool me like the others
And I know what you'll do you'll find yourself a new love
And keep me a secret, too
Well, I walked up to a counter to buy some cigarettes
And standin' there beside me was a gal I'd never met
She pulled out her wallet and, much to my surprise
There she held your picture, baby right before my eyes
You're keepin' too many secrets from me
But, baby, now I'm wise to you you'll fool me like the others
And I know what you'll do you'll find yourself a new love
And keep me a secret, too
You're keepin' too many secrets from me
But, baby, now I'm wise to you you'll fool me like the others
And I know what you'll do you'll find yourself a new love
And keep me a secret, too
You'll find yourself a new love
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
He spent his younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave to his wandering ways
Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Oh, I met him there in a border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
Now I'm alone with a broken heart
Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
The next of kin to the wayward wind
To spend one night with you, in our old rendezvous
And reminisce with you, that's my desire
To meet where gypsies play, down in that dim cafe
And dance till break of day, that's my desire
We'll sip a little glass of wine, I'll gaze into your eyes divine
I'll feel the touch of your lips, pressing on mine
To hear you whisper low, just when it's time to go
Darling, I love you so, that's my desire
We'll sip a little glass of wine, I'll gaze into your eyes divine
I'll feel the touch of your lips, pressing on mine
To hear you whisper low, just when it is time to go
Tell a little white lie
And then multiply by ten
And then, that's how a heartache begins
Mix some flowers he bought
With a date he forgot to attend
And then, that's how a heartache begins
I know about heartaches, I know all the mistakes
That a young love can make, I've made them
So let's still be friends to the soft violins
I've listened while somebody played them
Call his number in vain
Again and again, he's not in
But then, that's how a heartache begins
I know about heartaches, I know all the mistakes
That a young love can make, I've made them
So let's still be friends to the soft violins
I've listened while somebody played them
Call his number in vain
Again and again, he's not in
But then, that's how a heartache begins
That's how a heartache begins
In my times of loneliness I'm wondering
What came over me, the sight of the light
My life's a nighmare every time I open my eyes
I makes me wanna fall to sleep
Blinded by the morning sun
Sweet dream, lonely night
Sweet dream, another lonely night, so lonely.
Take the past it's just a dream
Reality is present and fiction's not clear
Take my hand I'll show you the way
I don't care if I'm wrong or right
As long as I set my sweet dreams tonight
Sweet dream, lonely night, sweet dream
In my life I feel despair every day
But you can't see
My eyes filling with tears
Broken dreams from an endless night
Reborn from the ashes of a previous life
Sweet dream, lonely night, sweet dream
I've loved and lost again
Oh, what a crazy world we're livin' in
True love has no chance to win
I've loved and lost again
I ask you what chance have I
When each love I meet just makes me cry
He loves awhile then says goodbye
I've loved and lost again
To be true to one alone
Don't seem to matter anymore
They tell you you're out of style
Unless you've had three or four
I've loved and lost again
Oh, what a crazy world we're livin' in
True love has no chance to win
I've loved and lost again
To be true to one alone
Don't seem to matter anymore
They tell you you're out of style
Unless you've had three or four
I've loved and lost again
Oh, what a crazy world we're livin' in
True love has no chance to win
An old cool cat from way downtown
He's been boppin' all around
This old world were living fast
Afraid some day were gonna run outta gas
If you're travellin' that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta, stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look and listen
You might be missin', kissin'
If you're travellin' slow
You'll go a long long way
Well, farmer Jones he came to town
Saw that boppin' all around
Learned to do it, there's no doubt
Fraid some day he'll burn his motor out
If you're travellin' that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look listen
You might be missin', kissin'
If you're travellin' slow
You'll go a long long way
First came the boogie, then the bunny hop
Now the
(Rumble, samba)
Then the bop
I don't know what's comin' next
This old world's in a terrible fix
If you're travellin' that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look listen
You might be missing kissin'
If you're travellin' slow
You'll go a long long way
I know a cool cat from way outta town
He's been boppin' all around
This old world we're living fast
Afraid some day were gonna run outta gas
If you're travellin' that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta stop, look and listen
You don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look listen
You might be missin', kissin'
If you're travellin' slow
I've got your picture that you gave to me
And it's signed with love
just like it used to be
the only thing different
the only thing new
I've got your picture
she's got you
I've got the records
That we used to share
and they still sound the same as when you were here
The only thing different
the only thing new
I've got the records
she'd got you
I've got you memory
Or has it got me?
I really don't now
But I know it won't let me be
I've got your class ring
That proved you cared
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things
She's got you
I've got your memory
or has it got me
I really don't know
but I know
it wont let me be
I've got your class ring
That proved you cared
and it still looks the same
as when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things
Now get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Now get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Roll my breakfast cause I'm a hungry man
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Daddi-O
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you don't do nothin' to save your doggone soul
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
Well I can look at you tell you don't love me no more
Well I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Daddi-O
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Right or wrong I'll be with you
I'll do what you ask me to
For I believe that I belong
By your side for right or wrong.
Right or wrong it's got to be
Always you and always me
Won't you take me along,
To be with you right or wrong.
If it's wrong for me to love you
It can't be wrong for me to care
If you should say you love me
My life with you I'll share.
Right or wrong day by day
All my love, all the way
I believe that I belong
On a day like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand
You made a vow that you
Would always be true
But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you
Now my poor heart just aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
You made a vow that you
Would always be true
But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you
Now my poor heart just aches
With every wave that breaks
So long we've been married, life's burdens we've carried
Though faith kept us humble and made our love grow
The plans that we make up
Someone seems to break up but darlin' what else can we do
We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
They say you are leaving that you are deceiving
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them that they're wrong
That loose talk will do harm and hope that the truth they will see
We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
When I go out walkin' there's lots of loose talkin'
They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart
But, darling, it's not true because I still love you
And I do with all of my heart, yeah
We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
Last night I dreamed of you, sweetheart
Once more you loved me
You said we'd never part
It's dawn again
Oh, how sad am I
My dream has ended
And tears fill my eyes
Gently swaying around my feet
Like memories from the past
Each leaf reminds me of a dream
A dream that wouldn't last
For once I know
Your promise you would keep
If I could only
Only stay asleep
Gently swaying around my feet
Like memories from the past
Each leaf reminds me of a dream
A dream that wouldn't last
For once I know
Your promise you would keep
If I could only
Down in Dallas, near the Palace
I met a boy who was so cute
I loved his huggin', I loved his kissin'
As we sat in his little red coupe
He said, "Tell me, confidentially
How much do you love me?"
Well, I thought awhile and then I smiled
And this is what I told him, dontcha see
I love you honey, I love your money
I love your automobile
I love you baby, I don't mean maybe
You're the sweetest thing on wheels
I love your kisses, I wouldn't miss it
No matter how I feel
I love you honey, I love your money
Most of all, I love your automobile
Down in Dallas, near the Palace
I met a boy who was so cute
I loved his huggin', I loved his kissin'
As we sat in his little red coupe
He said, "Tell me, confidentially
How much do you love me?"
Well, I thought awhile and then I smiled
And this is what I told him, dontcha see
I love you honey, I love your money
I love your automobile
I love you baby, I don't mean maybe
You're the sweetest thing on wheels
I love your kisses, I wouldn't miss it
No matter how I feel
I love you honey, I love your money
Most of all, I love your automobile
Don't wanta walk unless I'm walkin' with you
Don't wanta talk unless I'm talkin' to you
Don't wanta be lonesome, don't wanta be blue
Baby, that's how much I love you
Don't wanta cry unless I'm cryin' for you
Don't wanta sigh unless I'm sighin' for you
Don't wanta be found with somebody new
Baby, that's how much I love you
I built my whole world around you
Darlin', don't ever break my heart
I'm so glad that I found you
And in my life, you'll always play a part
Don't wanta live unless I'm livin' with you
Don't wanta give unless I'm givin' to you
Don't wanta be lonesome, don't wanta be blue
Baby, that's how much I love you

Don't wanta live unless I'm livin' with you
Don't wanta give unless I'm givin' to you
Don't wanta be lonesome, don't wanta be blue
Baby, that's how much I love you
I can't forget you, I've got these memories of you
I can't forget you, I'll always be loving you
Once we were happy, we were so carefree and gay
Then something happened and you went away
I can't forget you, please tell me what must I do
My memories haunt me because I'll always love you
Where are you darlin'? Are you with someone new?
I can't forget you, I'll always be loving you
I can't forget you, I've got these memories of you
I can't forget you, I'll always be loving you
I can't forget you, please tell me what must I do
My memories haunt me because I'll always love you
Where are you darlin'? Are you with someone new
People point us out and shake their heads in shame
In gossip circles we are talked about
Darlin', on you I hold no legal claim
But here we are again hidin' out
The kisses that you give make our wrong seem so right
It's too late to stop, there's no doubt
We said we wouldn't meet tonight, my dear
But here we are again hidin' out
The ones we're tied to, we know we'll hurt, my dear
Though we're hoping they don't find us out
Sooner or later, we know we'll be caught
I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start
So I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' around with 2 or 3
Just come on home and fool around with me
Well, I wasn't foolin' around the day I said, "I do"
But many a night I wished that I'd been foolin' too
I know it's foolish takin' all this misery
But when it's you, a fool I'll always be
I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start
So I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' around with 2 or 3
Then come on home and fool around with me
So honey, fool around, you know right where I'm at
And don't worry if I'm lonesome, 'cause I'm used to that
And when you're tired of foolin' around with 2 or 3
Then come on home and fool around with me
I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start
So I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' around with 2 or 3
Just come on home and fool around with me
Please come on home, baby, I'm waiting for you, see?
I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the start
So, I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Just come on home and fool around with me
Well, I wasn't foolin' 'round the day I said, "I do"
But many a night I wished that I'd been foolin' too
I know it's foolish takin' all this misery
But when it's you, a fool I'll always be
I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the start
So, I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Just come on home and fool around with me
So honey, fool around, you know right where I'm at
And don't worry if I'm lonesome 'cause I'm used to that
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Then come on home and fool around with me
I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the start
So, I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Just come on home and fool around with me
Please come on home, baby, I'm waiting for you, see
I feel the fingerprints
That you left on my heart
You played a game of love
And then you said we had to part
You left me all alone
And as the teardrops start
I feel the fingerprints
Of sorrow on my heart
I know you didn't mean to be unkind
And hurt me so
And you've made up your mind
But I just thought you ought to know
That when the day is through
I think of only you
I sit alone and dream
And think of things we didn't do
Now, I am all alone
And as the teardrops start
I feel the fingerprints
That you left on my heart
And when the day is through
I think of only you
I sit alone and dream
And think of things we didn't do
Now, I am all alone
And as the teardrops start
I feel the fingerprints
Come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home
If I had one wish, I wish I could
Go back to my old neighborhood
Where the good folks they all love you as their own
Then I'd go over to my neighbor's house
Knock on the door 'n they'd all sing out
Come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home
I'd sing their praises long and loud
Cause their all my folks and I'm mighty proud
Of the little old town back home where I was born
I wish that I could hear them say
In the good old-fashioned, friendly way
Come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home
Well, they don't lock their doors at night
'Cause they all know they're a-doin' right
And the good Lord's bound to have them for his own
If I'd go back to hear them pray
In the little pine church, they all would say
Come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home
When I was a child of only three
I said my prayers at my mother's knee
And I knew right then from God I'd never roam
When I get my summons on the Judgment Day
I hope I can hear my Savior say
Come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home
