My compilation mix of some of the best country classic . Country music is a genre of American popular music that originated in Southern United States, in Atlanta, Georgia in the 1920s. It takes its roots from the southeastern genre of American folk music and Western music. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas. The term country music gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to the earlier term hillbilly music; it came to encompass Western music, which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar roots, in the mid-20th century. The term country music is used today to describe many styles and sub genres. The origins of country music are the folk music of mostly white, working-class Americans, who blended popular songs, Irish and Celtic fiddle tunes, traditional ballads, and cowboy songs, and various musical traditions from European immigrant communities. In 2009 country music was the most listened to rush hour radio genre during the evening commute, and second most popular in the morning commute in the United States (█▬█ █ ▀█▀ subscribe, █▬█ █ ▀█▀ like & comment)))) https://www.youtube.com/user/djeasyy - my other channel https://www.youtube.com/user/zjeasy - check out my other channel https://www.facebook.com/wootydjsandfans - like my fan page https://twitter.com/djeasyy - follow me on twitter https://www.facebook.com/DJEASYY - join me on Facebook https://soundcloud.com/djeasyy - check soundcloud for your downloaded mixes EMAIL : dj.easyy@gmail.com SKYPE : djeasy77 BBM : 75021275 __________________________________________________ (((FOR PROMO USE ONLY))) TRACKLIST 1.

LA Daily News 2013-10-18Lawrence Hankins Locklin (February 15, 1918–March 8, 2009), better known as Hank Locklin, was an American country music singer-songwriter. A member of the Grand Ole Opry for nearly 50 years, Locklin had a long recording career with RCA Victor and scored big with the hits, "Please Help Me, I'm Falling", "Send Me the Pillow That You Dream On" and "Geisha Girl" from 1957–60. His singles charted from 1949–71.
Born in McLellan in the Florida Panhandle, Locklin grew up working in the cotton fields to supplement his family’s low income. He began playing the guitar at the age of nine during his recovery after being seriously injured when hit by a school bus.
His first marriage to Willa Jean Murphy ended in divorce. In 1970 he married Anita Crooks of Brewton, Alabama. He had a son and four daughters, 12 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and a few close great nieces and nephews such as Sarah Locklin.
Locklin was one of country music's early honky tonk singers. He first recorded for Royalty, a small label in northeast Texas, but soon moved to 4 Star Records, a regional country music label, before signing a long contract with the major RCA Victor . He had an estimated 15 million record sales worldwide and his songs were recorded by many other artists, including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Roy Rogers, Dwight Yoakam and Dean Martin. He regularly appeared on the Grand Ole Opry beginning in 1960, making his final appearance in 2007.
(Lawton Williams)
I learned to hula love in Honolulu
With a pretty native in the blue grass skirt
But a rock 'n roller came along and stole her
And stole my baby in the blue grass skirt.
Well, he caught her out to rock and rollin'
And taught her things so out controlin'
He's stole my baby my hula baby
Yes, he's stole my baby in the blue grass skirt.
--- Instrumental ---
Out on the Rocky Island Hawaiian Island
Where the palm trees grow where the tourists flirt
Where I found romancin' life was inchantin'
Where I lost my baby in the blue grass skirt.
Well, I know that I can never stay
Where happy people laugh and play
Without my baby, my hula baby
'Cause I miss my baby in the blue grass skirt.
--- Instrumental ---
Yeah, I learn to hula in Honolulu
With a pretty native in the blue grass skirt
But a rock 'n roller came along and stole her
Daddy was a handsome lad close on seventeen
And every girl he met was mad to be Danny's queen
Danny dear oh Danny dear Danny don't be cold
Now's the time for loving dear not when we grow old
First came Kate and then came Sue and after her came Jane
And each girl in her turn would sing to Danny this refrain
Danny dear oh Danny dear...
[ piano ]
But Danny was the roving kind and he would not stay
In the arms of any girl even when she'd say
Danny dear oh Danny dear...
Then one day he met a girl as fair as any rose
And Danny's roving days were done for she made him propose
Aileen dear oh Aileen dear Aileen don't be cold
I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind
To live in memory of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
Those happy hours that we once knew though long ago still make me blue
They say that time heels the broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
I don't hurt anymore all my teardrops are dried
No more walking the floor with that burning inside
Just to think it could be time has opened the door
And at last I am free I don't hurt anymore
No use to deny I wanted to die the day you said we were through
But now that I find you're out of my mind I can't believe that it's true
I've forgotten somehow that I cared so before
I came close so close to failure I came close to losing my home
I know the kids still love me and their mommy but I came so close to living alone
I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop but big enough to admit I was wrong
Now I'm trying hard to be the man I oughta be but I came so close to living alone
I didn't know just how much they meant to me
I guess sometimes a man must be shown
When I think of what I done a chill goes through me I came so close to living alone
I can see an angel walkin' someone else is by her side
I can hear an angel talkin' and she looks so satisfied
I can see an angel smilin' by her side I wanna be
In my heart I'll go on cryin' only tears are left for me
Time will change many things your seasons will come and go
But I won't ever change all my life I'll love her so
I can see an angel laughin' she's the one that I adore
I will always keep on hidin' all my life for ever more
[ piano ]
I've gotta talk to your heart you have no right to make me cry
The love I've shone for you these years can't be washed away with tears
I've gotta talk to your heart
I've gotta make you understand our love is drifting far apart
Won't you please stop where you are let's not carry this too far
I've gotta talk to your heart
Too wise to told you all those lies that brought tears to your eyes
You know this never could be
So before you say goodbye give me another try
And I'll prove they're wrong you'll see
I've gotta talk to your heart just gotta make you understand
I've gotta try to change your mind give me just a little time
I've gotta talk to your heart
[ guitar ]
I love you I'll prove it in days to come I swear it's true darling you're the only one
I think of you of the past and all our fun I love you I'll prove it in days to come
You're my darling you've been true I should have been good to you
You're the one that's in my heart while we're apart
I'll be true I'll prove it to you some day I love you in my heart you'll always stay
I've been so blue and lonesome all these days I love you I'll prove it a thousand ways
[ piano - steel ]
I'll be nice and sweet to you and no more will you be blue
I'll prove I love you every day all kinds of ways
So darling please wait please wait until I'm free
There'll be a change a great change made in me
I don't know why I love you like I do I don't know why I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do I don't know why you just do
You never seem to want my romancing the only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do I don't know why I just do
(I don't know why...
[ piano ]
I don't know why I love you like I do I don't know why I just do
My key turns in the lock and I opened my front door
Greeted by the darkness like too many times before
I tiptoe in to kiss the children but they're all asleep
Wonder if they're dreaming about the date I didn't keep
It was such a busy day I just couldn't get away
Cause you gotta make it while you can
So I remember dollar bills business deals and headache pills
But I forgot to live today I forgot to live today
As I dressed for bed I think about today
Wonder what I got for all the time I gave away
Traded my time for a dollar bill didn't see the sky but I saw the mill
Couldn't go to Jeannie's play missed Timmy's ballgame yesterday
Mary had to go for both of us
While I remember dollar bills business deals and headache pills
But I forgot to live today I forgot to live today
Born with all the time I'll ever see each day another part slips away from me
But I forgot to live today
I slip into bed and I kiss my Mary's cheek
I can tell she's crying and I know she's not asleep
I listen to the clock tick away another night
And swear that tomorrow I'll make everything right
I'll remember building kites mending dolls and broken bikes
Flowers from the woman in my life
And I remember who I love more than all the stars above
(Are you going away with no word of farewell will there be not a trace left behind)
Well I could have loved you better didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
It's a lesson too late for the learnin' made of sand made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin' in your hand in your hand
Are you going away...
You've got reasons of plenty for going this I know this I know
All the weeds have been steadily growing please don't go please don't go
Are you going away...
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Laura hold these hands and count my fingers Laura touch these lips you once desired
Lay your head upon my chest and hear my heart beat
Gently run your fingers through my hair
Touch these ears that's listened to your wishes most of them fullfilled and that's a lot
Let your soft gentle hands caress my body then tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Tell me what he's got that I can't give you it must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Laura see these walls that I built for you Laura see this carpet that I layed
See those fancy curtains on the windows touch those satin pillows on your bed
Laura count the dresses in your closet
Note the name upon your checkbook in your bag
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Tell me what he's got that I can't give you it must be something I was born without
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got
We were waltzin' that night in Kentucky beneath that beautiful harvest moon
I was a boy that was lucky but it all ended too soon
As I sit here alone in the moonlight I can see your smiling face
And I long once more for your embrace and that beautiful Kentucky Waltz
[ piano ]
In MOUNT JOY jail one Monday morning
High upon the gallows tree
Kevin Barry gave his young life
For the 'cause of liberty
Just a lad of eighteen summers
Yet no true man can deny
As he walked to death that morning
He proudly held his head up high
Another martyr for old Erin
Another martyr for the crown
The British laws may crush the Irish
But cannot keep their spirits down
Just before he faced the hangman
In his dreary prison cell
The British soldiers tortured Barry
Just because he would not tell
The name of all his brave companions
And other things they wished to know
An informer or we'll kill you
Kevin Barry answered no
Another martyr for old Erin
Another martyr for the crown
Whose cruel laws may crush the Irish
Do not forsake me oh my darling on this our wedding day
Do not forsake me oh my darling wait wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave
And I must face the man who hates me
Or lie a coward a craven coward or lie a coward in my grave
Oh to be torn twixt love and duty spposin' I lose my fairhaired beauty
Look at that big hand move along nearing high noon
He made a vow while in state's prison vowed it would be my life or his'n
I'm not afraid at all of what will I do if you leave me
Do not forsake me oh my darling you made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me oh my darling although you're grieving don't think of leaving
Now that I need you by my side

Words and music by Curt Massey, Arbie Gibson and Art Kassel
Let me be the one to walk with you when you want somebody to talk with you
Anything that makes you happy I wanna do oh darling let me be the one
Let me be the one who means the most the one you wanna love and call your own
And when you choose your partner I wanna be the choice oh please let me be the one
Let me be the one to sit with you
And when you want some lovin' I'll know just what to do
Lots of lots of huggin' and a kiss or two you've gotta let me be the one
Let me be the one to take you out to your favorite places you have no doubt
And when the evening's gone we'd kiss goodnight oh please let me be the one
[ guitar ]
Let me be the one to share with you all your little pleasures and sorrows too
In all kind of weather I wanna be with you oh please let me be one
Let me be the one to hold your hand when the preacher says do you take this man
Underneath the lantern by the barrack's gate
Darling I remember the way you used to wait
Twas there that you whispered tenderly that you love me you'd always be
My lily of the left line my own Lili Marlene
[ ac.guitar ]
Time would come for roll call time for us to part
Darling I'd caress you and press you to my heart
And there neath the fire of lantern light I'd hold you tight you kiss goodnight
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't help but love you till the day that I die
But tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well, I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're running wild a kickin' up your heels
You're leavin' me home with a handful of bills
I can't live without you and you know it's true
But there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do
I'm goin' honky tonkin' get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll preciate a good man
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't help but love you till the day that I die
But tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well, I don't know but I've heard you say
That every little dog is gonna have his day
You better pay attention don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The time to do was to leave you, but I should have left then
Now, I'm too old to leave you but I still get sore
When you come home a feelin' for the knob on the door
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't help but love you till the day that I die
But tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well why don't you love me like you used to do
How come you treat m like a worn out shoe
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you spark like you used to do
And say sweet nothings like you used to coo
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
So why don't you love me like you used to do
[ guitar - steel ]
Well why don't you be just like you used to be
How come you find so many faults with me
Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you say the things you used to say
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you you asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you so I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife
Tomorrow when I'm walking down the isle I'll try to hide my heartache with a smile
Cause when I look at her and say I do in my heart I'll be wishing it was you
Tomorrow when you'll see me passing by turn your head so you won't see me cry
And just remember when I'll say I do in my heart I'll be wishing it was you
(You listened when they said I cheated you listened when they said I lied)
Yes you listened to all other stories but you didn't listen to my side
So tomorrow when the chapel bells begin I'll have to think of you as just a friend
But when I'll say those precious words I do in my heart I'll be wishing it was you
When Irish eyes are smiling sure it's like a morning spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter you can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy all the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling sure they steal your heart away
(When Irish eyes are smiling sure it's like a morning spring)
Honey you know the springtime of life is the sweetest of all
There is never a real care or regret
And while springtime is ours throughout all youth hours
Let us smile each chance we get
Go on tonight to the party with him
And while you're dancing so closely with him
Don't let me cross your mind unless you choose
To think of me when the band plays the blues
Listen to the words and to the melody
And they will tell you just exactly how it felt to me
To see you go to the party with him
And know you're dancing right now so close to him
Go on, have fun while the beat really moves
But think of me when the band plays the blues
Listen to the words and to the melody
And they will tell you just exactly how it felt to me
To see you go to the party with him
And know you're dancing right now so close to him
Go on, have fun while the beat really moves
Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day someone waits for me
And the gold of her hair frowns the blue of her eyes like a halo tenderly
If only I could see her oh how happy I would be
Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day someone waits for me
(If only I could see her) oh how happy I would be
Who can I count on if I can't count on you I never counted on you makin' me blue
They say you're running round with somebody new
Who can I count on if I can't count on you
I thought I held the precious key to heaven
Your love was sweet and gentle at the start
But now I feel that I can't go on living if living 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 through
Who can I count on if I can't count on you
[ piano ]
The door to happiness was almost opened just one more step or two and I'd be in
And all at once the vows you made were broken
The door to happiness was closed again
I lost the sunshine and roses I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow I lost the morning dew
I lost the angel who gave me summer the whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness when I lost you
[ strings ]
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you
The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life the first time I ever have wanted to die
Was the night that you told me you loved someone new and asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you
[ ac.guitar ]
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
And you may take a pebble and teach it to grow
You may teach all the raindrops to return to the clouds
But you can't teach my heart to forget
Anytime you're feeling lonely anytime you're feeling blue
Anytime you feel down hearted that will prove your love for me is true
Anytime you're thinking bout me that's the time I'll be thinking of you
Anytime you say you want me back again that's the time I'll come back home to you
[ steel ]
Come sweetheart mine don't sit and pine
Tell me of the cares that make you feel so blue
What have I done answer me hon have I ever said an unkind word to you
My love is true and just for you I'd do almost anything at anytime
Dear when you sigh or when you cry something seems to grip this very heart of mine
So come to me my melancholy baby cuddle up and don't feel blue
All your fears are foolish fancy maybe you know dear that I'm in love with you
Every cloud must have a silver lining waited until that sun shines through
My heart cries for you sighs for you dies for you
And my arms long for you please come back to me
If you're in Arizona I'll follow you if you're in Minnesota I'll be there too
You'll have a million chances to start anew because my love is endless for you
My heart cries for you...
The bloom has left the roses since you left me
The birds have left my window since you left me
I'm lonely as a sailboat that's lost at sea I'm lonely as a human can be
My heart cries for you...
I wonder how many poor boys like me are still in love with a foreign memory
And how many poor girls are waiting over there
With their hearts tied to a foreign love affair
Foreign love affairs distant lands apart foreign love affairs many broken hearts
[ guitar ]
I'd give up a kingdom if I were a king to be with my darling and have one golden ring
But I have no kingdom so all we have to share
Are the mem'ries of a foreign love affair
Harbor lights are ahead and bright they're shining I can feel the thrill of coming home
But I know my heart will not be willing to forget a foreign love I've known
I will soon be in the arms that waited faithfully each day that I've been gone
But my heart could never be contented to forget a foreign love I've known
[ guitar ]
What on earth could be the right decision it's no good to find a memory
Should I tell the one that calls me darling that a foreign love is haunting me
Can I live with one and love another and go on and face what is to be
There's nothin' in the world that pleases me
Like a pretty little girl from across the sea
But the thing that I want a little too far I got myself a foreign car
Cause you can't get in and you can't get out unless you do some squirmin' about
Maybe you're not a lover but in case you are you can't do much lovin' in a foreign car
You can fill up the tank and drive all day on a gallon of gas you'd go a long long way
But if it's a love buggy you're looking for don't waste your time in a foreign car
Cause you don't have a room for your heart to beat all crowded up in a bucket seat
Well the pretty moon a shinin' up among the stars
Love should have suffer in a foreign car
[ guitar ]
Take a ride with me tonight after dark see the little foreign buggys down in the park
I cannot trigger up but they go that far you can't make love in a foreign car
Am I fool number one or am I fool number two
How many other fools have been fooled by you
I suppose that the number is far from being small
And I'll bet that I'm the biggest fool of all
If I had the chance I guess I'd do it all again
I'd go down that same old road even knowing at the end
You'd leave me when your heart hears a new love call
Winter's gone and summertime's a coming and where I am ain't where I wanna be
I can hear my southern home a calling and it's calling out the old wild goose and me
Flying flying south to Dixie Lord I been so lonesome and alone
Stayin' ain't no use because my heart's an old wild goose
And tomorrow I'll be flying south and home
[ brass ]
I've got kids and kin down in Kentucky I've got lots of aunts in Alabam
Mom's a waitin' down in Mississippi and my sist's in Carolina's honey land
Grandma and grandpa's down in Georgia and my Tootsie's back in Tennessee
There's a little part of southland in my heart
And honey in the south is where I wanna be
[ brass ]
Way back home in Nashville Tennessee
[ brass ]
You opened the door to heaven the first time I kissed you the first time
With you in my arms I knew then the first time I kissed you you were mine
I can't stay away from you it's true
You were meant for me and I was meant for you
I've fallen in love with an angel the first time I kissed you the first time
[ guitar + piano ]
When the warship left Manila sailing proudly o'er the sea
Many sailors hearts were filled with sad regret
Looking backward to this Island where they spent such happy hours
Making love to every pretty gal they've met
Well up stopped a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow
Saying take a look my gal's photograph
Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her face
And he said I love my Filipino baby
She's my Filipino baby she's my treasure and my pet
Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jet
Her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know
And I love my little Filipino baby
[ guitar ]
In a little rustic cottage in the Port of Fillippines
Dwells a pretty little maiden all alone
And she's thinking of her true love though he's far off cross the sea
And her heart beats true for him and him alone
Then one day he whispered darling I've come back from Caroline
I've come back to claim the only girl I love
And that night there was a wedding while the ships crew gathered round
And he wed his little Filipino baby
Faith and truth I bear unto you
Until the last beat of my heart your my world and all my dreams come true
Faith and truth my darling I bear unto you
You're my heaven here on earth my love goes way down deep
And when yopu're in my arms you'll make my life complete
I'll promise you my love this vow is ever true
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day
Once a day all day long and once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone is once a day every day all day long
[ brass ]
I'm so glad that I'm not like a friend I knew one time
He lost the one he loved then slowly lost his mind
He sat around and cried his life away lucky me I'm only crying once a day
Once a day all day long...
The Old Bog Road: Teresa Brayton
My feet are here on Broadway
This blessed harvest morn,
But oh! the ache thatÂs in my heart
For the spot where I was born.
My weary hands are blistered
Through work in cold and heat!
And oh! to swing a scythe once more
Through a field of Irish wheat.
Had I the chance to wander back,
Or own a kingÂs abode.
IÂd sooner see the hawthorn tree
By the Old Bog Road.
When I was young and restless
My mind was ill at ease,
Through dreaming of America,
And the gold beyond the seas.
Oh, sorrow rake their money,
ÂTis hard to find the same,
And whatÂs the world to any man
If no one speaks his name.
IÂve had my day and here I am
A-building bricks per load.
A long three thousand miles away
From the Old Bog Road.
My mother died last springtime,
When ErinÂs fields were green.
The neighbours said her waking
Was the finest ever seen.
There were snowdrops and primroses
Piled high above her bed,
And Ferns Church was crowded
When her funeral Mass was read.
And here was I on Broadway
A-building bricks per load.
When they carried out her coffin
Down the old Bog Road.
There was a decent girl at home
Who used to walk with me.
Her eyes were soft and sorrowful
Like moonlight oÂer the sea.
Her name was Mary Dwyer,
But that was long ago.
The ways of God are wiser
Than the things that man might know.
She died the day I left her,
A-building bricks per load,
IÂd best forget the days IÂve spent
On the old Bog Road.
Ah! LifeÂs a weary puzzle,
Past finding out by man,
IÂll take the day for what itÂs worth
And do the best I can.
Since no one cares a rush for me
What need is there to moan,
IÂll go my way and draw my pay
And smoke my pipe alone.
Each human heart must bear its grief
Though bitter be the Âbode
So God be with you, Ireland,
Oh how I miss you since you went away oh how I need you more every day
I'll be so happy when you're back to stay oh how I miss you since you went away
I lost my sunshine the day you went away all of my blue skies have turned into gray
I'm so brokenhearted that's all I can say oh how I miss you since you went away
[ piano ]
(Oh how I miss you since you went away)
I miss your blue eyes your sweet smiling face
No one on earth dear could ever take your place
Don't think I'm fooling when these words I say
Just a little bit of loving and you would have my heart
Just a little kiss to prove you love me true
Oh how I'd like to take you and hold you in my arms
Darling no one is sweeter than you
A million ways I've searched my heart but you're the one I'd find
And just the thought of loving you grows sweeter all the time
If I should ever lose you my heart would break in two
Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
And when you arrive at the station
I'll be right there to meet you I'll be right there to greed you
So don't turn down my invitation
Hallelujah hallelujah I'll be shoutin' hallelujah all the day
Oh we'll have a jubilee down in Memphis Tennessee
And I'll shout hallelujah all the day
[ ac.guitar ]
Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
You know how I'm longing to see you
Leave that 3-50-7 and arrive at eleven and then I'll be shoutin' hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah...
My wild Irish Rose the sweetest flower that grows
You may search everywhere but none can compare with my wild Irish Rose
My wild Irish Rose the dearest flower that grows
And someday for my sake she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose
[ piano - guitar ]
I may say that I don't care hold my head up in the air
Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call
But when the days is through my heartache starts anew
And that's when I miss you most of all
And my arms keep reaching for you my eyes keep searching for you
I've seen Big Ben in London town the lights of gay Paris
The charming seems the foreign lands leave golden memory
I've seen the gleam in harbor lights from on the ocean blue
But the place I'm longing most to see is my old hometown and you
I've walked the streets of Tokio the beach of Waikiki
I've rambled all the world around I've sailed the seven seas
I've seen the town of great Reneau the land of mansions too
But the place I'm longing most to see is my old hometown and you
[ guitar ]
I've seen the deserts burning sand blue mountains great and tall
I've seen the wonders of the world the wrippling waters fall
I've seen the lovely Carabbian and her in Cheyenne View
I have no record now I pine for you are all that's on my mind
I think of you both night and day each hour each minute you're away
Twas the days or years since you've left oh how many hours now have passed
I know I've shed ten thousand trears each minute seems a million years
[ steel ]
Each night I go bed and then I pray that you'll come back again
When sleep won't come to drown my tears each minute seems a million years
Till I'm back within your arms again and until I find the nights do end
Who did you say it was brother who was it fell by the way
When whiskey and blood ran together did you hear anyone pray
When I heard the crash on the highway I knew what is was from the start
I went to the scene of destruction a picture was stamped on my hreart
I didn't hear nobody pray dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray
I've heard the crash on the highway but I didn't hear nobody pray
The whiskey and blood ran together mixed up with the glass where they lay
Fate Played her hand in destruction but I didn't hear nobody pray
I wish I could change this sad story that I am now telling you
But there is no way I can change it somebody's life is now through
I've seen lots of pretty faces in a million different places
And it's hard for me to keep from doing wrong
Cause you're the cutest and the sweetest you always dress the neatest
With one exception and she's waiting at home
If I'd let temptation fill me I know your kiss would thrill me
And how easy it would be to lead you on
You're such a lovely girl you're perfect for my world
With one exception and she's waiting at home
Sometimes I've almost cheated after all I'm just a man
Can't you see my world is wrapped up in a golden wedding band
I'd beg steal or borrow and you'd be mine tomorrow
With one exception and she's waiting at home
You only want me when you're lonely when no one else want you it seems
And even though you call me darling I know I'm never in your dreams
I'm just someone you always turn to each time your new love turns you down
You only want me when you're lonely when there's nobody else around
[ piano ]
I'm just your temporary sweetheart who only sees you now and then
And though I say I won't forgive you I'm glad when you come back again
Why do I let you fool me darling the way you break my heart's a crime
Well the other night I had a dream I dreamed I had a castle and I was a king
But you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
Cause when I woke up my castle was a city jail
Well I met a little gal I thought she was swell
Like a bottom of a bucket I really fell
But you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
If she's really true or double crossin' you you can't never tell
[ fiddle ]
Well I thought I get rich so I bought a Cadillac
The finance company come and took it back
So you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
If you're gonna be rich or wind up in the ditch you can't never tell
[ steel ]
Well today you might be a doing fine tomorrow you might be a doing time
So you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
I just lay here at night, I toss and I turn
Loving you so how my heart yearns
Honey, you're the reason
I don't sleep at night
Walking the floor, feeling so blue
Smoke cigarettes, drink coffee too
Honey, you're the reason
I don't sleep at night
Well, I'm bettin' you're not losin'
Sleep over me
Ah but if I'm wrong, don't fail to call
Come over and keep me company
Sometimes I go for a walk, take a look at the moon
Strum my guitar, sing out of tune
Honey, you're the reason
I don't sleep at night
Walking the floor, feeling so blue
Smoke cigarettes, drink coffee too
Strum my guitar and sing out of tune
Losin' sleep over you
Well, I'm bettin' you're not losin'
Sleep over me
Ah but if I'm wrong, don't fail to call
Come over and keep me company
Sometimes I go for a walk, take a look at the moon
Strum my guitar and sing out of tune
Honey, you're the reason
I don't sleep at night
Walking the floor, feeling so blue
Smoke cigarettes, drink coffee too
Strum my guitar and sing out of tune
Losin' sleep over you
You're the reason
You're the reason
You're the reason
The news is out all over town that you've been seen a runnin' round
I know that I should leave but then I just can't go you win again
This heart of mine could never see what everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin what can I do you win again
[ strings ]
I'm sorry for your victim now cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain and someday say you win again
You have no heart you have no shame you take true love and give the blame
Your cheating heart will make you weep you'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through your cheating heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain you'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do your cheating heart will tell on you
[ strings ]
What a beautiful thought I am thinking concerning the great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded on the pages of God's holy word
Desiring to lower her standards they watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teaching but really they find no mistakes
(On the wings of the great speckled bird great speckled bird)
Oh I'm glad I have learned of her meekness and I'm glad that my name's on her book
For I want to be one never fearing the face of my Saviour's through look
When he comes descending from heaven on a cloud as he writes in his word
Here upon the quiet country village stood the maple on the hill
There I sat with my Jeannie of long ago
When the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill
We would sing love songs together when the birds had gone to rest
And we'd listened to the murmur of the leaves
Then you throwed your arms around me laid your head upon my chest
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill
[ piano ]
Now we're getting old and feeble and our hair is turning grey
We no longer hear the rippling of the leaves
Still I always love you darling as I did those stary nights
When we sat beneath the maple on the hill
Don't forget me little darling as they lay me down to rest
Will you keep this final promise that you gave
While you linger there in silence thinking only of the past
Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight I'm alone and oh so blue tonight
Like a piece of driftwood on the sea may you never be alone like me
I believed the lies you told to me when you whispered dear I worship Thee
Now here am I alone and blue all because I loved no one but you
[ steel - strings ]
In the Bible God's own words to say for every wrong someday you'll pay
I pray the Lord to set me free may you never be alone like me
Hold me in your arms dear, dream with me.
Cradled by your kesses tenderly.
While a choir of angels from above
Sings our Melody of Love.
Heart to heart forever, lips entwine.
I am yours and you are mine, all mine.
Heaven wrote the music up above.
Mexicali Rose, stop cryin'
I'll be back again some sunny day
You know dear, every hour I'm pining
Every hour dear, though I'm away
Dry those big brown eyes, don't cry darlin'
Banish all those tears and please don't cry
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose, goodbye
Mexicali Rose, stop your cryin'
I'll be back again some sunny day
You know dear that every hour I'm pinin'
Every hour dear, oh, I'm away
Dry your big brown eyes and smile baby
Banish all those tears and please don't cry
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose, goodbye
Mexicali Rose, stop your cryin'
I'm coming home to you some sunny day
You know dear, every hour I'm pinin'
Every hour, I'm away
Dry your big brown eyes and smile baby
Banish all your tears don't cry
Kiss me once again hold me
Mexicali Rose, Mexicali Rose
Mexicali Rose, Mexicali Rose
Mexicali Rose, Mexicali Rose
The minute you're gone I cry the minute you're gone I die
Before you walk out of sight I'm like a child all alone at night
I stare into emptiness I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong the minute you're gone
The minute you're gone I see how lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue if I couldn't be with you
The minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long the minute you're gone
A mother went out on a party she left at home her baby son
He cried and begged her not to leave him but she would not give up her fun
She kissed his cheek and tried to soothe him but would not heed his childish plea
She heard him call as she was leaving please mommy please stay home with me
The mother joined the merrymakers and soon was lost in trifling joy
The mellow tunes and flitting shadows made her forget her baby boy
She danced and laughed and did some drinking the world for her was full of glee
But now and then these words would haunt her please mommy please stay home with me
[ piano ]
She left the party feeling dizzy the smell of drink was on her breath
She hurried home to find her baby in raging pain and nearly dead So doctor came and looked on sadly the case was hopeless he could see
The baby dies these words repeating please mommy please stay home with me
The mother now her life would forfeit to hear her baby's voice again
She grieves to think she rudely left him to satisfy her wishes vain
Now mothers don't neglect your duty the story should a lesson be
When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh I hurry to my blue heaven
I turn to the right a little white light with you to my blue heaven
You'll see a smiling face a fireplace a cozy room
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me and baby makes three we're happy in my bue heaven
[ guitar + piano ]
Evening shadows make me blue when each weary day is through
How I long to be with you my happiness
Everyday I reminisce dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss my happiness
A million years it seems have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again there'll be no blue memories then
Where the skies are grey or blue anyplace on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you my happiness
When the evening falls twilight shadows find
There beneath the stars an Indian maiden divine
The moon is on high and seems to see her there
In her eyes there's a light shining ever so bright as she whispers a silent prayer
[ trumpet - guitar ]
Every word reveals an empty broken heart
Broken by fate that's keeping them so far apart
Lonely there she kneels and tells the stars above
Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
[ piano ]
I've waited all through the years love to give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow in your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
I left you and left you broken hearted I left you and now I can't forget
I thought then that I could live without you forgive me and I'll make you happy yet
Forgive me for all the pain I caused you forgive me for unkind words I said
I thought once that I could live without you I'm paying with the broken heart instead
[ steel ]
I wish I had never made you blue sweetheart I wish I could live it over now
I know now that I can't live without you forgive me and I'll make it up somehow
I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle to the shores of Dunardee
I miss the river Shannon and the folks at Skibbereen
The midlands and the moorlands with their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss the girl in Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her arms and hair so long and brown
Again I wanna see and do the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar and there's forty shades of green
[ piano ]
I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublin's churching surf
I'd love to watch the farmers drain the bogs and spade the turf
To see again the thatching of the straw the women glean
I'd walk from Cork to Larne to see the forty shades of green
But most of all I miss the girl in Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown
Again I want to see and do the things we've done and seen
Out where the bright lights are glowing you're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing while I sit and whisper your name
Four walls to hear me four walls to see four walls too near me closing in on me
One night with you is like heaven and so while I'm walking the floor
I listen for steps in the hallway and wait for your knock on my door
A chain of steel a wall of stone could not keep me from you
But while your finger wears a ring of gold what can I do
I'm burning up with love but still I'm left out in the cold
Because you wear a yellow band of fourteen karat gold
I never should have let my heart go roaming by itself
But it gets awful lonesome when your heart sets on the shelf
I should have tied it with a string so it could be controled
To stay away from a yellow band of fourteen karat gold
[ guitar - piano ]
I realize that I was wrong that I was all to blame
If there's a ring upon her finger never fan the flame
I'm ready now to pay the price of loving much too bold
Far across deep blue water lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old River Rhine
Where I loved her and left her but I can't forget her
Cause I miss my pretty Fraulein
Fraulein Fraulein look up toward the heavens each night when the stars start to shine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you you are my pretty Fraulein
[ ac.guitar - piano ]
When my memories wander away over yonder to the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory a face comes before me the face of my pretty Fraulein
From heaven to heartache is such a long way to go
From holdin' an angel to onlyness in her soul
I said some things that I didn't mean to say
And then like a fool I turned and just walked away
From heaven to heartache I felt my world turnin' blue
From heaven to heartache I learned how much I need you
I'm sorry if I've made my angel cry and if I ever get by again
From heartache to heaven I'll never leave again
(From here to there to you)
From here to there to you my letter is on its way
To tell you how I miss you ever since you sailed away
To tell you things are not the same when I'm so far from you
I'm sending all my love from here to there to you
From here to there to you and that's oh so far away
Across this little painted map from here to there to you
I wish that I could go myself across this ocean of blue
Along with my love letter from here to there to you
[ piano ]
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day,
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.
Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,
The women in the meadows making hay
And to sit beside a turf fire in a cabin
And watch the barefoot gosoons at their play.
For the breezes blowing o'er the sea to Ireland,
are perfumed by the heather as they blow.
And the women in the uplands digging praties
Speak a language that the strangers do no know.
For the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways,
And scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well be chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star
And if there's going to be a life hereafter,
And somehow I am sure there's going to be,
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand
Well you've met her in a teahouse on the Island of Japan
And have you ever traveled over a many thousand miles
To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style
They read it in the Tea Leaves and it's written in the sand
I found love by the heartful in the foreign distant land
Tell the homefolks that I'm happy with someone that's true I know
I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow
[ guitar ]
I have stood and watched the sunrise from the waters of the sea
And wondered how much beauty in this whole world can there be
My dreams are all worth dreaming and it makes my life worth while
To see my pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style
Everytime I look at you I pinch myself can it be true
This lovely girl is really mine any wonder I find
The girls get prettier every day cuter and lovelier in every way
The girls get prettier every day and honey especially you
I saw your friend in town today her hair mixed up in a brand new way
She's as cute as she can be and it seems to me
The girls get prettier...
[ guitar ]
Tomboy Beckie comes to town wearing her brand new satin gown
All the fellows turn around and their hearts begin to pound
The girls get prettier...
A seven or eleven that would put me high
But it would be just my luck to roll an old snakeye
Well once I had a woman who lived just for me
But a pair of these old shining dice made us disagree
I should have been a farmer we've got along just fine
But I couldn't resist these old dice and a jug of warm red wine
A seven or eleven I could make the bar
But it would be just my luck to roll an old boxcar
[ fiddle - steel ]
Well a woman is like the ocean that flows so deep and wide
Someday she'll take a notion and leave you on the other side
Well a seven or eleven that would put me high
Hmm hmm hmm hmm I'm lonely hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmI'm blue
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm I miss you hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm I do
You been gone just seven days but it seems like seven years
Come on back and love me I'll cause you no more tears
The day you left I thought I try to be a big big man
Seven days without you now I know I never can
Hmm hmm hmm hmm I'm lonely...
[ guitar ]
I know I was doing things that I shouldn't do
Cross my heart I'll make commands cause I'm in love with you
Think it over in your mind please have sympathy
Seven days without your love I'm lonely as can be
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm I'm lonely...
She thinks I still care
Just because I asked a friend about her just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today she thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be she thinks I still care
But if she's happy thinking I still need her then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish where would she get such an idea
Just because I asked a friend about her just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just bacause I saw her then went all to pieces she thinks I still care
Shame shame on you shame shame on you
Took my heart as a token when we heard it was broken
Hide your face shame on you
Shame shame on you shame shame on you
Took my car and my money tell you gal that ain't funny
Darn your hide shame on you
Shame shame on you shame shame on you
Ran around with other guy spend your life when I got wise
All the years have seemed so short since I have known you
And the love I've shared with you I won't forget
And if we should ever reach a hundred years dear
You will be the same sweet girl as when we met
I'm so glad that I have found you little darling
In my heart I hold the sweetest memory
And each time I gaze into your eyes it's heaven
I can see the same sweet girl so dear to me
[ piano ]
You will never have to live on just a promise I will always be around you when you call
Rosalita my little rose of the rancho you won my heart down by the Rio
Dry your eyes dear and don't be blue Juanita
I'll come back to you my little Rosalita
Each night I tell the moon on high and all its glory
How you and I and days gone by and love's real story
Rosalita another day now is dawning for you I'm longing my Rosalita
[ brass ]
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you?
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a memory's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Seems I'm always right behind never first in line
A winner maybe I'm not meant to be
Number one would be just fine but I guess I'm not that kind
Second fiddle seems to be the role for me
Second fiddle never has the spotlight second fiddle never makes the news
Second fiddle never plays a love song second fiddle only plays the blues
[ guitar ]
Though I'm in love with you another loves you too
And in my heart I know how it will be
He'll wind up with you I'll be number two
Second fiddle seems to be the role for me
(Johnny my love Johnny my love Johnny my love Johnny my love)
While looking through an old trunk as kids we'd all times do
We found a yellow notebook that was nearly torn in two
That book was grandma's diary her name was written clear
And on the first old tattered page we found these words so dear
Johnny my love Johnny my love you make the whole world shine
You make the whole world shine for me cause you're my Johnny my love
We brought grandma's old diary to show to mom and dad
The way they started crying well it really made us sad
And when they started singing the words we'd seen before
I'll never hear a song so sweet in a million years or more
Johnny my love...
Sometimes I get so lonely and I don't know what to do
Though there's people all around me still I feel so sad and blue
Then I heard your happy laughter as though an angel were to sing
And I knew that I was bankrupt and you were wealthy as a king
My heart's so cold and lonely that I live in poverty
Your heart's so warm and lovin' you are richer more than me
Won't you share your precious laughter you're so rich in happiness
Lend your love to one who needs it and your share will not grow less
[ guitar ]
A wealth you have to offer can't be bought with wordly gold
The love that gold can purchase is kinda bit and oh so cold
I am just a beggar pleading for a smile from you
Put me in your pocket so I'll be close to you
No more will I be lonesome and no more will I be blue
And when we have to part dear there'll be no sad adieu
For I'll be in your pocket and I'll go along with you
Two lovers sat one evening beneath the pale moon light
Tomorrow he must go away life's battles for to fight
He told her that he loved her that he'll return someday
And take her for his darling wife and then he heard her say
You have gone and yet I'm still your prisoner
Althought you're with your new love I'm not free
For you have placed a lock around my heart dear and you are the keeper of the key
Love locked inside like mine burns constantly please darling please come back to me
Let's lock our hearts together for a lifetime for you are the keeper of the key
[ piano ]
You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your place
Cause they call our love a back street affair
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong and someday they'll see they're wrong
I'll love you dear as long as I live
It was easy said that night we parted that we'd forget we had ever met
I haven't forgotten I wonder if you have or if your heart's too full of regret
As long as I live if it be one hour or if it be one hundred years
I'll keep remembering forever and ever I'll love you dear as long as I live
[ piano ]
I never thought that night we parted that life alone could be so bad
I know it sounds funny I'll never forget you the only joy that I've ever had
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
It was on one moonlight night with stars shining bright
Whispered on high love said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
[ brass ]
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue so blue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Night and you and blue Hawaii the night is heavenly and you are heaven to me
Lovely you and blue Hawaii with all this loveliness that should be loved
Come with me while the moon is on the sea the night is young and so are we
Dreams come true in blue Hawaii and mind could all come through
This magic night of nights with you
[ guitar ]
I get the blues as we dance
I get the blues in advance
For I know you'll be gone
And I'll be here alone
So I get the blues in advance
Some get the blues from a song
Some when love has come and gone
You don't know how I cry
When you tell me goodbye
So I get the blues in advance
As I think of our past romance
I get the blues in advance
There's no hope for me now
You will change dear somehow
I'm calling to tell you it's over yes darling you're now free to go
You're saying you're sorry you hurt me but you hurt me much more than you'll know
You're asking me where this call comes from oh I hope that you won't interfere
If your new romance turns out of failure here's where to find me my dear
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops on a barstool not doing so well
The hands of the clock never alter for things never change in this place
There's no present no past no future we're the ones who have lost in love's race
I'm just on the blue side...
I just can't get it through my head you love another now instead
Can't make myself believe we're really through
I'm walking up and down the hall talking to a silent wall
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you
I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same
I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time but that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine but that was before I met you
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved but that was before I met you
[ steel ]
I wanted to ramble and always be free but that was before I met you
I said that no woman could ever hold me but that was before I met you
In the twilight glow I see her blue eyes crying in the rain
As we kissed goodbye and parted I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember blue eyes crying in the rain
[ piano ]
Now my hair has turned to silver all my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven blue eyes crying in the rain
Some day when we meet up yonder we'll stroll hand in hand again
If he brings you happiness then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if he ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Though it hurts to let you go darling I still love you so
And I'll stand by you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear that he made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away every teardrop that you've cried
If he ever leaves you blue just remember I love you
And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Give my mama credit cause my mama said it so your little acorns made of love
If that's how you're slowin' and with time that's growin'
They'll turn into great big oaks above
As I grow old I can see it's true and mama that's why I intend to do
This good life is laid off resting in the shade of
A little bit lonesome a little bit blue all by my ownsome thinkin' of you
Wondering how come you do me this way
What have I done what did I do what did I say
I don't go nowhere afraid you might call just stay in my chair like a little rag dove
A little bit lonesome (lonesome) a little bit blue (so blue)
Oh baby come home your daddy's so low and lonesome for you
[ guitar ]
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Close the door to temptation, don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
I belong to another who's arms have grown cold
But I promise forever to have and to hold
I can never be free dear but when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the will to be true
Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation, don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you but darling I do
Way back in the hills when a boy I once wandered
There beneath the grave lies a girl that I love
She was called from this earth a jewel from heaven
More precious than diamonds more precious than gold
A jewel here on earth and a jewel in heaven
She will brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
Maybe angels have peace God bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they've left me to roam
[ piano ]
When she was sixteen we courted each other
She promised someday to become my sweet wife
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger
The angels they called her to heaven one night
Oh well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along
Till the Lord will come and call call me away oh yes
Well the morning's so bright and the lamb is the light
And the night night is as black as the sea oh yes
(There will be peace in the valley for me some day)
There will be peace in the valley for me oh Lord I pray
(There'll be no sadness no sorrow my Lord no trouble trouble I see)
There will be peace in the valley for me
[ guitar ]
Oh well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb oh yes
And the beast from the wild will be lead by a child
And I'll be changed changed from this creature that I am
I know not where on earth to find you I know not how or where to start
I only know I'm here without you and there's pins and needles in my heart
The days and nights are growing longer since first you said that we must part
But now I know I can't forget you with these pins and needles in my heart
[ piano ]
I always see your face before me your smile is heaven's work of art
But now you're smiling at another and there's pins and needles in my heart
Someday somewhere I know I'll find you and love will make the teardrops start
And then you'll know how long I've waited with these pins and needles in my heart
When we say goodnight I leave my hope I leave my dreams I leave my heart
On the other side of the door with you my love
On the other side of the door with you my love
Walking home alone where are the stars where is the moon where is my world
On the other side of the door with you my love
On the other side of the door with you my love
My arms don't wanna go my lips just long to stay
And all my heart can hardly wait until our wedding day
Then I'll have the right to spend my hours to spend my years to spend my life
On the other side of the door with you my love
I still have the photograph that you gave me I'll treasure it until the day I die
My only happiness is the picture that's all you left me the day you said goodbye
Your pretty eyes just seem to look right through me
They bring back memories I can't erase
And if it's wrong to love the way I love you I sin each time I kiss your paper face
[ guitar ]
Since the day you walked away with my heart
A million tears have trickled from my eyes
They say you found true love with another I should forgive you now I've realized
But everytime I see your pretty picture I close my eyes and feel your warm embrace
The love that I've waited and longed for is here in my arms at last
But she doesn't know all about me I'm just one step ahead of my past
Now I'm walking the old straight and narrow but yesterday's coming up fast
Cause you can't keep people from talking I'm just one step ahead of my past
Cause when I played at love I made my mistakes where everyone could see
Now I'm wondering if she'll understand is always haunting me
Will the news break the heart of my darling
And close the door to my future at last
Only a fool could keep on loving you
If it's crazy to love you then I'm crazy cause I do
You don't care who's heart you're breaking only a fool could keep on loving you
Only a fool would cling to love when it's such a hopeless thing
Stay around to worship you knowing you don't feel the same
I don't know why I even want you you don't need me you told me so
If there's a chance that you might love me only a fool would ever let you go
Once more to be with you dear just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give a fortune if I could see you once more
Forget the past this hurt can't last so I don't want it to keep us apart
Your love I crave I'll be your slave if you'll just give me all of your heart
Once more to be with you...
[ piano ]
One has my name the other has my heart
With one I'll remain that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied to the other I am true
One has my love the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living my life just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name
[ guitar - piano ]
One has my love the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free
If I could live over my life I would change
Met the girl I loved in a town way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above she was the sweetest girl I ever did see
So I took her in my arms and told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's Retreat
All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say, "Please don't ever go away"
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's Retreat
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's Retreat
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
I stopped into our old hang out just wandered in to look about
Countin' all the faces we once knew
The thrill was gone the play seemed strange I looked for you you never came
My heart was on the border of the blues
A friendly smile here and there a table with an empty chair
A love song I used to dance with you
But since you're gone there's nothing left I couldn't stay the way I felt
My heart was on the border of the blues
[ guitar - piano ]
A friendly smile here and there...
Cry cry darling that's what I do if you'd leave me with the blues
Cry cry darling that's all I do if it's you I should lose
For me there'd be no moonlight if ever we should part
Cry cry darling that's what I do cause you're the one in my heart
[ guitar ]
My eyes will cry and never dry if you should go
[ guitar ]
When shadows creep I'll just weep all night I know
You know how much I'd miss you if ever we should part
Cry cry darling that's all I do cause you're the one that's in my heart
Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling it's you it's you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow
Yes I'll be here in sunshine or in shadows oh Danny boy oh Danny Boy I love you so
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
[ strings ]
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
I was roaming round in Nashville in the state of Tennessee
For I love that country music it's as soulful as can be
I have gathered their the records for I cherished every name
So I found myself a standing in the Country Hall of Fame
My heart beat somewhat faster as I walked in through the door
For I heard the sound of voices I had often heard before
A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye
Now I'll tell you what I saw there and I'm sure that you'll see why
Jimmie Rodgers' railroad lantern and his faithful old guitar
I could hear that old blue yodel coming from somewhere afar
Roy Acuff in bronze likeness with that great Fred Rose his friend
And I heard that Wabash Cannonball somewhere around the bend
The guitar of Eddy Arnold memories of Cattle Call
Chet Atkins will be with him when the work's all done this fall
From the autoharp of Maybelle Wildwood Flower seems to ring
Riley Puckett and Gid Tanner how they all could pick and sing
I could hear George Hay announcin' as I stood there in the room
I could hear Tex Ritter singing his classic song High Noon
Minnie Pearl so glad to be there and Hank Snow keeps Movin' On
May the Lord bless those still living and the ones who's joined his throne
Cowboy Copas Hankshaw Hawkins Gentleman Jim and Patsy Cline
Rod Bradsfield Ira Louvin these stars will always shine
Ernest Tubb and great Red Foley and Hank Williams bless his name
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than any of mine
Candy kisses wrapped in paper you'd rather have them any old time
You don't mean it when you whisper those sweet love words in my ear
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than mine do dear
[ piano + guitar ]
I build a castle out of dreams dear I thought that you were building one too
Now my castles all have fallen and I am left alone and blue
Once my heart was filled with gladness now there's sadness only tears
Makes no difference if we two are far apart dear
I could never ever love somebody new
Cause there isn't any room inside my heart dear
While I'm chained to a memory of you
I could never tell another I belong to them
All those whispered words of love would not be true
I could never tell another that I long for them
Cause I'm chained to a memory of you
[ steel ]
Maybe time will wear the links away and then dear
They will break and set me free to love a new
But I'll never love someone else again dear while I'm chained to a memory of you
If the world should end tomorrow I'd be satisfied
Cause you're gone and there is nothing I can do
All my dreams and precious hopes of yesterday have died
I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses one for every time you broke my heart
And as the door of love between us closes tears will fall like petals when we part
I begged you to be different but you'll always be untrue
I'm tired of forgiving now there's nothing left to do
So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses one for every time you broke my heart
You made our lover's lane a road of sorrow till at last we had to say goodbye
You're leaving me to face each new tomorrow with a broken heart you taught to cry
I know that I should hate you after all you've put me through
But how can I be bitter when I'm still in love with you
Got an old slatch hat got my roll on my shoulder
I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please just a bummin' around
Got a million friends don't feel any older
I've got nothing to lose not even the blues just a bummin' around
Whenever worries start to botherin' me
I grab my coat my old slatch hat hit the trail again you see
I ain't got a dime don't care where I'm going
I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please just a bummin' around
[ guitar - piano ]
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you?
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling, I can dream on it too
Each night while I'm sleeping, oh so lonely
I share your love in dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling, I can dream on it too
I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a memory's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling, I can dream on it too
Just a little bit of loving and you would have my heart
Just a little kiss to prove you love me true
Oh how I'd like to take you and hold you in my arms
Darling no one is sweeter than you
A million ways I've searched my heart but you're the one I'd find
And just the thought of loving you grows sweeter all the time
If I should ever lose you my heart would break in two
Her eyes were brown her hair was auburn her smile was like an angel dear
She was her daddy's only daughter on the Tennessee border
One night I took a ride just across the line
I picked her up in a pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine
Her mother said no she's my only daughter
But we got married on the Tennesse border
You'll always have the tender side of me forever in my heart you'll always be
I'll prove my love each day I live you'll see you'll always have the tender side of me
Tenderness comes easy loving you with all my heart and soul the way I do
My love for you will never let you see more than just the tender side of me
[ strings ]
(Oh they'll never never take her love from me)
If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face the Gods would see
Cause she'll walk along beside me up to golden stairs
Oh they'll never never take her love from me
What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave
And to see her love turn into sympathy
It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave
Oh they'll never never take her love from me
[ piano ]
I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
That we shared together in the used to be
Someone else's arms may hold her now in uncaress
But they'll never never take her love from me
I thought I'd make her happy if I'd step aside
But I knew her love would never set me free
And even on the day that she became another's bride
There's more pretty girls than one there's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble around there's more pretty girls than one
Well I am a rambling man I done roam this world around
I've always been a rounder boy since my girl turned me down
There's more pretty girls than one...
[ ac.guitar ]
Now listen all you rounders let me tell you what you'd do
Don't fall in love with a pretty little girl unless you know she's true
I'll pretend I'm free from sorrow make believe that wrong is right
Your wedding day will be tomorrow but there'll be no teardrops tonight
Why oh why should you desert me are you doing this for spite
If you only want to hurt me then there'll be no teardrops tonight
I'll believe that you still love me when you wear your veil of white
But you think that you're above me but there'll be no teardrops tonight
Shame oh shame for what you're doin' other arms will hold you tight
If I had a nickel I know what I would do
I'd spend it all for candy and give it all to you
I'd spend it all for candy and give it all to you
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you
Now if you were a kitten with pretty glossy fur
I'd take you up and stroke you and listen to you purr
I'd take you up and stroke you and listen to you purr
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you
Now if you were a horsefly and I an old grey mare
I'd stand and let you bite me and never move a hair
I'd stand and let you bite me and never move a hair
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you
[ guitar ]
Now if you were a tiger I'd hang around your den
And pester you my honey until you let me in
And pester you my honey until you let me in
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you
Now if you wanna marry now let me tell you what
We'll go and find the parson and let him tie the knot
We'll go and find the parson and let him tie the knot
Today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
Then today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by with only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
Cause today I started loving you...
Time nor tide will never change its way love like mine goes on day after day
True as stars that twinkle in the blue time nor tide won't change my love for you
Though the changing years may gray your golden hair
In my eyes you'll always be as sweet and fair
Like like ours will never be denied makes no difference what the time or tide
[ fiddle - steel ]
Time nor tide may bring us grieve and pain but there's sunshine after every rain
Trust your love to always see you through
Time nor tide won't change my love for you
Hand in hand we'll face the future come what may
Side by side we'll find the rainbows in some day
Tie me to your apron strings again I know there's room for me upon your knee
Bring back all those happy hours when you kissed my tears away from day to day
I thought that I was right but I was wrong
Please take me back tonight where I belong
Sing a cradle song to me and then won't you tie me to your apron string again
Of all the songs the world is singing of dreams that do and don't come true
I guess I've sung about a million but darling this one's just for you
I don't care if the world can't hear it playing if it's never number one or two
I just want to tell how much I love you so darling this song's just for you
What do they care about my troubles if my whole world suddenly falls through
It hardly hurts anymore the heartache's almost gone away
It hardly hurts anymore except each night and every day
The day you walked out the door the pain went on and on and on
It hardly hurts anymore except each minute that you're gone
It's really not as bad as it seemed at the start
I'm glad that all I have is a broken heart
It hardly hurts anymore if you don't count these tears of mine
It hardly hurts anymore except for all the time
(It's really not as bad as it seemed at the start)
I'm glad that all I have...
Just like all the other times as we entered
Across the white dance floor then to the bar
I thought I saw him smile in your direction or was my imagination running wild
With ten minutes he had asked you for a dance love
And oh too soon you said you'd like it fine
I thought you danced too close to be strangers or was my imagination out of line
As the night grew old the wine had made you careless
It seemed to me that he was just your style
I said let's go home before there's some heartache
You said your imagination's running wild
My mind was filled with cruel and painful visions
But afraid I might be wrong I tried to smile
Then you left with him and all my fears were happ'ning
IF WE ONLY HAD OLD IRELAND OVER HERE
(Fallon)
« © '63 Writer Share, PD »
I was dreaming of old Ireland and Killarneys lakes and dells
I was dreaming of the shamrock and the dear old Shandon Bells
When my memories suggested in a vision bright and clear
All the strange things that would happen if we had old Ireland here
If the Blarney stone stood out on Sidney Harbor
And Dublin Town to Melbourne came to stay
If the Shannon River joined the Brisbane Waters
And Killarneys lakes flowed into Botany Bay
If the Shandon Bells rang out in old Fremantle
And County Cork in Adelaide did appear
Erin's sons would never roam all the boys would stay at home
If we only had old Ireland over here
[ piano ]
There were lots of lovely fairies dancin' on the village green
There are lots of lovely coleens the finest ever seen
Where the boys were all called Paddy and the girls called Molly Dear
Sure we'd wrap the green flag round them if we had old Ireland here
If the Shandon Bells rang out in old Fremantle...
If we only had old Ireland over here
**********
I don't blame you for not trusting me just yet
Someone's hurt you and you're not willing to forget
Something's happened in the past that I can never change
But I love you if just loving you means anything
What's happened in the past that makes you so afraid
Will you judge the world by only one mistake you've made
Will you ever walk in sunlight that only love can bring
Yes I love you if just loving you means anything
I can't offer a bed of roses I only hope you know
That wherever you find roses thorns are also bound to grow
I'm just saying that my love for you won't ever change
And I love you if just loving you means anything
Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
[ strings ]
Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin' kin folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie...
It's another world when I'm with you
Roses everywhere blue skies up above everybody is in love
It's another world when I'm with you and that's where I wanna be
Never a day goes by when I'm blue there's no tears in my eyes when I'm with you
It's another world when I'm with you
Nights are made for love days are never long nothing nothing can go wrong
It's another world when I'm with you
It's another world when I'm with you and that's where I want to be
[ steel ]
It's a sin my darling how I love you because I know our love can never be
It's a sin to keep this mem'ry of you when silence proves that you've forgotten me
The dream I built for us has tumbled each promise broken like my heart
It's a sin my darling how I love you so much in love and yet so far apart
It's a sin to hide behind this heartache to make believe that I've found someone new
It's a sin to say that I don't miss you when people know I'm still in love with you
I'm sure you're happy with another who shares the love I couldn't win
I have sailed the peaceful water salty ocean deep and blue
Felt the rapture of the dawning thrilled through sunset's golden view
I've sought above the mountain peeks for valleys great and wide
But it's a little more like heaven by your side
It's a little more like heaven where you are
I have sought for happiness both near and far
But my search for love was through the day that I met you
Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are
[ guitar ]
I have watched the crystal raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds have flown away
I've adored the clinging roses round my mountain home so dear
But it's a little more like heaven when you're near
It's a little more like heaven...
[ guitar ]
I've been tempted for a moment by your lure and magic charms
Of a fickle flame and beauty while waltzin' in her arms
I cherrished mem'ries of the past of friends so kind and true
But it's a little more like heaven here with you
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin' how's about cookin' something up with me
Hey sweet baby don't you think maybe we could find us a brand new recepie
I got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill and I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free so if you wanna have fun come along with me
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin' how's about cookin' something up with me
[ strings - guitar ]
I'm free and ready so we can go steady how's about saving all your time for me
No more lookin' I know I've been tooken how's about keeping steady company
I'm gonna throw my datebook over the fence and find me one for five or ten cents
I'll keep it till it's covered with age cause I'm writin' your name down on every page
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' something up how's about cookin' something up
I'm so tired of goin' home all by myself
Please darlin', don't place my love on the shelf
The day you'll say I do
Will be the day my dreams come true
'Cause I'm so tired of goin' home all by myself
Please don't let others turn your love to hay
Pay no mind, my dear, to what they say
You know my love is true
Yes, you know I love just you
And if it takes a hundred years you know I'll wait
If you want me now's the time to tell me dear
We've waited now these, oh, so many years
I need you every way
I'm so lonely night and day
And I know I've shed at least a million tears
'Cause I'm so tired of goin' home all by myself
Please darlin', don't place my love on the shelf
The day you say I do
Will be the day my dreams come true
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
When we're all alone dear and I'm in your arms
Are you teasing me?
When you're telling me how you thrill to my charms
Are you teasing me?
Are you untrue when I'm not with you?
When we're apart are you free?
Tell me darling while our love is still young
Are you teasing me?
You say that my kiss sends your heart in a whirl
Are you teasing me?
And that you'll be mine 'till the end of the world
Are you teasing me?
You tell me my love could make your life complete
Are you teasing me?
And ne'er from my arms would you long to be free
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But when I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die oh Lawd
And then I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry
I had me a woman she couldn't be untrue
She made me for money and she made me blue
A man needs a woman that he can lean on
But my leanin' post is done and left and gone
She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blues
[ piano ]
Gonna find me a river one that's cold as ice
When I find me that river Lord I'm gonna pay the price oh Lawd
I'm goin' down in it three times but I'm only comin' back twice
She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out
Along about Monday she was nowhere about
And here it is Tuesday ain't had no news got them gone but not forgotten blues
Anna stand beside me lift your eyes to the window look and see
Anna let me hold you and for the thousandth time Anna lean on me
Anna see the cornfield see how summer's brought a million ears so fine
Anna the stalks are browning they're singing the last verse of summer time
Anna childhood sweetheart a freckle face but like to rope and play
Beautiful air of silver you've been mine for fifty years today
Thank you for the wonders for the joy you've caused my life to be
Thanks dear for the giving sharing your life with the likes of me
Anna thank you darling for our children bless them every one
Tonight while the snowflakes are falling here in my dreams I can see
The wild cherry blossoms of Shima where I walk with Anna Marie
Anna Marie Anna Marie my heart remembers and sighs
Sabu sabu miami vatoo I miss you Anna Marie
[ guitar ]
My love was pledged to another but I knew as I crossed the sea
That I'd never love any other as I love my Anna Marie
Anna Marie Anna Marie...
Her hair should be a little darker and her eyes should be a deeper blue
She's not perfect but I'm happy I found her
Cause she's as close as I can get to loving you
She doesn't know she's being used and it would break her heart in two
If she knew that she was playing the part I planned for you
I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do
But she's as close as I can get to loving you
[ piano ]
You'd've proved of the way that she dresses
From her ear-rings to the style of her shoes
I conquer everything that I remember and she's as close as I can get to loving you
Don't whisper gossip about her though it may be true what you say
I don't want to hear it I don't need to hear it
To me she's better than most and I love her
Don't talk to me of affairs in the past give her your blessings she's found love at last
So don't whisper gossip about her though it may be true what you say
The stories you rake up can't cause us to break up
To me she's better than most and I love her
[ steel - fiddle ]
The tears that she's cried have not been in vain
Tears clean a heart of heartaches and shame
So don't whisper gossip about her your stories can't stand in our way
Cause I'll just upset them forgive and forget them
Yesterday you said you love me today you say it's over now
Why did you go away and leave me all the world is lonely now
Don't tell me that you love another and that you've broken every vow
For I don't want to live without you all the world is lonely now
[ piano ]
I tried so hard to make you happy with love your heart would not allow
It's hard to know you'll never love me all the world is lonely now
Almost you fell in love with me almost you were my bride to be
But each promise that was made you have broken and betrayed
And left me with a faded memory
Almost my precious dreams came true almost you whispered dear I do
But someone new came by and you left me here to cry oh how close we were almost
Almost I heard the church bells ring almost I heard the choir sing
But I hear now instead all those unkind words you said I remember every little thing
Almost your heart I did possess almost you brought me happiness
My dreams just won't come true and there's nothing I can do
I'm always missing you every hour I'm not kissing you
I'm filled with loneliness mixed with my happiness
I'm seven shades of blue till the waiting at last is through
Please darling miss me too like I'm missing you
I miss you when the purple shadows cover up the day
I miss you when the morning light tells me you're still away
I'm always missing you every hour I'm not kissing you
Until next time I do I'll be missing you
Your mem'ry gently walks upon the meadows of my heart
To bring this message though you're gone we're just a kiss apart
I'm always missing you every hour I'm not kissing you
And then I slowly took you in my arms and held you
And then I found your waiting lips and then I kissed you
And then I closed my eyes and heard you say you never would leave me again
You swore no other arms would ever hold you again
And then how sweet to let my fingertips caress you
And then my jealous heart believed you and I blessed you
And then and then you said I'll love you till I die
And then and then I woke up and then I started to cry
[ piano ]
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings for it's so plain and true
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
[ guitar ]
More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
No need to hide my feelings for it's so plain and true
Softly so softly you stole into my life
Gently you kissed me soft as a feather ever so lightly
Slowly but surely I learned what heaven was
Softly so softly you touched my heart with love
My world is like a river
As dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in
And gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless string
Of emptiness to me
Filled only by fleeting moments
Of her memory
Sweet memories....
Sweet memories....
She slipped into the darkness
Of my dreams last night
Wandering from room to room
She's turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water
From the river to the sea
Lord I'm swept away from sandness
Clinging to her memory
Sweet memories....
T's for Texas T's for Tennessee T's for Texas T's for Tennessee
T's for Telma that made a wreck out of me (yodel)
If you don't want me mama you sure don't have to stall
If you don't want me mama you sure don't have to stall
Cause I can get more women than a passanger train can haul (yodel)
[ guitar ]
I'm goin' where the water taste like cherry wine (sing 'em boy sing 'em)
Goin' where the water drink like cherry wine (sing 'em boy sing 'em)
Signed sealed and delievered a package containing my heart
To open remove the wrapper but please don't tear it apart
You tore up this heart when you left me you left me alone and so blue
I'm sending this special delivery please handle with care it's for you
It's all that I have to offer but darling you know that it's true
Signed sealed and delievered the postman will bring it to you
[ ac.guitar ]
I thought perhaps you would keep it just for a while don't you see
Oh darling please keep it forever without you it's no good to me
Signed sealed and delievered a package containing my heart
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight how it shines in the moon silvery light
Oh my darling far from me how I wish that you could see
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
The moon was softly shining on an old Kentucky home
The fragrance of magnolias filled the air
A lonely girl was writing to her sweetheart cross the foam
May God protect you darling over there
To say how much she wish that he were there
Silver dew on the blue grass...
[ trumpet ]
I can't buy you pretty things I can't give you diamond rings
All I have to offer is simple thing my heart my love my name
So won't you let me love you honey even though I have no money
Let me prove my love is true
If you could get that funny feeling let my love come a stealing
There's nothing in this world I couldn't do
All I have to offer is simple thing my heart my love my name
[ guitar ]
Well I never felt more like singing the blues cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear why'd you do me this way
Well I never felt more like crying all night
Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you you got me singing the blues
The moon and stars no longer shine the dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry over you
Well I never felt more like running away but why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you got me singing the blues
[ guitar ]
We're traveling down two different roads in world so far apart
You want me yet there's someone else before me in your heart
You're wanting me to change my life the way you're living yours
But I can't change I see no way you wanted me before
If you don't want me like I am then please don't pity me
If you can't change a little bit then why not set me free
If we can't live together then it's best we live apart
You'll go your way and I'll go mine we'll both make brand new starts
[ steel ]
So either say you want my love or take the way you live
Remember though before you get you've got to learn to give
So if it change my life or go then go it's gonna be
Cause I can't change my life when you want something more than me
There's nothing we can do it seems we'll never get along
With you believing like you do you say I live so wrong
But I can't change my way of life I've lived it much too long
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
Like you'd never been held before
I'll think of you each day and then I'll dream the night away
Till you are in my arms once more
The stars up in the sky know the reason why I feel so blue when I'm away from you
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms so darling please wait for me
(Another lonely day passes and you're still far away
But here's what I'd do my darling until that wonderful day wonderful day)
I'll take you home again Kathleen, across the ocean wild and wide.
To where your heart has ever been, since first you were my BONNIE bride.
The roses all have left your cheek. I watch them fade away and die.
Your voice is sad WHENE'ER you speak and tears bedim your loving eyes.
Oh I will take you back Kathleen, to where your heart will feel no pain.
They're gonna put me in the movies they're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally
Well I'll bet you I'm a gonna be a big star might win an Oscar you can never tell
This movie's gonna make me a big star cause I can play the part so well
I hope you'll come to see me in the movies
For then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time and all I gotta do is act naturally
How many arms have held you and hated to let you go
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
How many lips have kissed you and set your soul aglow
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
So always make me wonder always make me guess
And even if I ask you darling don't confess
Just let it remain your secret but darlin' I love you so
No wonder no wonder I wonder no I really don't want to know
I walk alone where once we wandered it seems so strange since you are gone
Till you return I'll stay the same dear I'll still be true and walk alone
By stars above I swear to love you with all the love I've ever known
Now we're apart you'll always own me when teardrops start I walk alone
[ piano ]
This lonely night was made to ponder the golden hours that we once knew
No matter where you are out yonder I walk alone and think of you
The flame of love is brightly burning you know that I'm your very own
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds because you're mine I walk the line
I find it very very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes I'll admit that I'm a fool for you because you're mine I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
So love me if you ever gonna love me never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze strong enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
[ guitar ]
I love you because you understand dear every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand dear
I love you most of all because you're you
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me but most of all I love you cause you're you
[ piano ]
No matter what may be the style or season I know your heart will always be true
If I ever needed you I need you now I can't remember when I've ever been so blue
If I ever needed love I need it now I feel so all alone I don't know what to do
No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can't ease my aching heart honey you know how if I ever needed you I need you now
[ piano ]
Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
[ piano ]
I've waited all through the years love to give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow in your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
In your loveless mansion on the hill
I still have the photograph that you gave me I'll treasure it until the day I die
My only happiness is the picture that's all you left me the day you said goodbye
Your pretty eyes just seem to look right through me
They bring back memories I can't erase
And if it's wrong to love the way I love you I sin each time I kiss your paper face
[ guitar ]
Since the day you walked away with my heart
A million tears have trickled from my eyes
They say you found true love with another I should forgive you now I've realized
But everytime I see your pretty picture I close my eyes and feel your warm embrace
And if it's wrong to love the way I love you I sin each time I kiss your paper face
(Fred Rose)
We live in two different worlds dear
That's why we're so far apart
You made your world out of vows that are broken
I built the world in my heart.
(Everyone here tried to warn me)
You were just playing a game
(I told them all we were meant for each other)
I thought our worlds were the same.
--- Instrumental ---
We live in two different worlds dear
My world is honest and true
Sweetheart remember when your world gets lonely
I'll still be waiting for you...
When Irish eyes are smiling sure it's like a morning spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter you can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy all the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling sure they steal your heart away
(When Irish eyes are smiling sure it's like a morning spring)
Honey you know the springtime of life is the sweetest of all
There is never a real care or regret
And while springtime is ours throughout all youth hours
Let us smile each chance we get
When Irish hearts are happy...
Well the other night I had a dream I dreamed I had a castle and I was a king
But you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
Cause when I woke up my castle was a city jail
Well I met a little gal I thought she was swell
Like a bottom of a bucket I really fell
But you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
If she's really true or double crossin' you you can't never tell
[ fiddle ]
Well I thought I get rich so I bought a Cadillac
The finance company come and took it back
So you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
If you're gonna be rich or wind up in the ditch you can't never tell
[ steel ]
Well today you might be a doing fine tomorrow you might be a doing time
So you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
If you're on the right track or trackin' it back you can't never tell
(Lawton Williams)
I learned to hula love in Honolulu
With a pretty native in the blue grass skirt
But a rock 'n roller came along and stole her
And stole my baby in the blue grass skirt.
Well, he caught her out to rock and rollin'
And taught her things so out controlin'
He's stole my baby my hula baby
Yes, he's stole my baby in the blue grass skirt.
--- Instrumental ---
Out on the Rocky Island Hawaiian Island
Where the palm trees grow where the tourists flirt
Where I found romancin' life was inchantin'
Where I lost my baby in the blue grass skirt.
Well, I know that I can never stay
Where happy people laugh and play
Without my baby, my hula baby
'Cause I miss my baby in the blue grass skirt.
--- Instrumental ---
Yeah, I learn to hula in Honolulu
With a pretty native in the blue grass skirt
But a rock 'n roller came along and stole her
Yes, he's stole my baby in the blue grass skirt...
Loving arms will wait for you sweet sweet dreams that won't come true
I just got to see you one more time and let these loving arms pretend you're mine
Another love won't set you free you'll never share a home with me
With loving arms and a heart so blue tonight I'll say my last goodbye to you
Loving arms must let you go loving arms will miss you so
I've just got to see you one more time and let these loving arms pretend you're mine
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you?
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a memory's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
I'm slowly a going out of your mind
Lately your kisses are cold they're not the same
Little by little I've watched you change
I stand by helpless while I see all the signs I'm slowly a going out of your mind
I'm going out of the mind of you who once loved me
You who once needed me wanted me now you ignore me
How did I tell you I must have to find I'm slowly a going out of your mind
Words from your sweet lips oh how I love you
Have now become just the thing of the past
I stand by helpless knowing I lose you in time I'm slowly a going out of your mind
I'm going out of the mind...
When the key turns in my front door then the real me starts to show
I take off my happy face and let the teardrops flow
The same old hurt of loving you and knowing that you're gone
Is always here to greed me when I come home alone
I'm happy-go-lucky when I'm out with the crowd
When they ask me about you I just laugh out loud
This old mask that I keep wearing goes with me every place
To keep a hurt from showing I wear my happy face
These walls that surround me I'm glad that they can't speak
Because at night I cry and talk to them until I fall asleep
These old floors that I keep walking I'm glad they can't start talking
Or my friends would know the secret I'm trying to keep
Today has been my birthday
And tonight I should be glad
But you weren't here to share it
And inside I've hurt so bad
I didn't want your presence
Just your kiss and company
And your lips to softly whisper
Happy birthday to me
But I came home all by myself
And lit the candle
Made a wish for you
And love that used to be
I unwrapped the tiny package
That I bought myself
Then I sang
"Happy birthday to me"
I thought for sure you sent me
At least a birthday card
But the postman didn't even stop
When he passed by my yard
You could have telephone
And ease a lot of misery
Instead I called myself and said
"Happy birthday to me"
And I came home all by myself
And lit the candle
Made a wish for you
And love that used to be
I unwrapped the tiny package
That I bought myself
Then I sang
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go
Whisper to me tell me do you love me true or is he holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go
You can't say the words I wanna hear while you're with another man
If you want me answer yes or no darling I will understand
Put your sweet lips...
Happy journey and auf wiederseh'n oh my darling till we meet again
Happy journey happy journey don't forget the one who love you so
I'll be lonely waiting just for you I'll be patient and forever true
Happy journey happy journey darling till that day
When you'll be coming back to stay
And once when I didn't know what to do and where to go
Then you came and love walked in with you
Now we have to say goodbye still I promise I won't cry
Though that something I won't have to do
[ accordion - sax]
I traded a heart full of love for a handful of kisses that you were just throwing away
I traded a lifetime of dream for a few carefree moments
That you felt like wasting that day
If I had known you didn't care I wouldn't be so blue
Cause I'd have left my heart at home and played the game like you
I'm hoping that you had your fun
Cause that handful of kisses has broken my fool heart in two
[ steel ]
I gave you a love that was true for a heart that was fickle
I wish that I had known at the time
You had me fooled for a while cause I thought that you meant it
When you said that you would be mine
But now that we have said goodbye I see the light of day
I had a moment of happiness but what a price to pay
Too many sweethearts and none of them true too many things that I shouldn't do
Made lots of money all spent the wrong way heading down the wrong highway
Made lots of friends and now they're all gone too many mem'ries that still linger on
Too many dreams whole night and day heading down the wrong highway
[ piano ]
Too many heartaches and too many tears crowded too much in just a few years
Want to go right but I've lost my way heading down the wrong highway
Lost everything lost all my friends God only knows how this all will ends
You were hiding in my heart you were in that way down deep
I never knew that you were there why I must have been asleep
Now I see that I was wrong a foolish boy in the dark
And while I was kissing others you were hiding in my heart
I hardly knew you I didn't care without any warning one day you were there
Now my heart beats just for you we must never be apart
I found the love that I've been missing you were hiding in my heart
Living alone
I may be wealthy with more than my share
I may be able to go anywhere
I may own a kingdom and sit on a throne
Still I'll be lonely while I'm livin' alone
I can follow the bright lights
Keep a smile on my face
I can travel this whole world
But not get any place
I need you near me to stick by my side
Please give me true love and don't shatter my pride
If you should leave me all the dreams I have known
Will never come true while I'm livin' alone
I need you near me to stick by my side
Please give me true love and don't shatter my pride
If you should leave me all the dreams I have known
Will never come true while I'm livin' alone
I'd love to forget every time that you kissed me I'd love to forget that you're gone
I'd gladly hold back every tear that I'm crying for love has a mind of its own
Love is the ruler the greatest of kings love sets a pie on a throne
Forgetting you darling is not my decision for love has a mind of its own
[ piano ]
I don't want to carry this worrysome heartache I don't want to cry all night long
I wish I could run from the day that I met you but love has a mind of its own
Love is the ruler...
All alone here am I so lonely I could cry cause I'm longing to hold you again
Missing you is all I do I dream the whole day through
How I'm longing to hold you again
The world is cold the world is grey you took the sunshine away
You'll never know how empty my arms have been
Till once more you're close to me as close as we can be
I'll be longing to hold you again
[ piano ]
How I'm longing to hold you again
[ guitar ]
Yes I'm longing to hold you again
The world is cold...
I am writing this song for you let me see do I know what to say
For the old words of love won't do let me try to explain it this way
The meek child inherit the earth and if I should be one of the few
All the wealth I will own won't be worth the joy I have known loving you
In the night I can reach for your hand and I know it will always be there
How can I make you understand what it means just to know that you care
I can think of what my life would be if I'd've lived it without knowing you
Once I know you cared for only me a love we shared I know was right
Tomorrow you'll wed someone else tell me darling is it love or is it spite
When your jealous heart drove me from you you found other arms to hold you tight
Tomorrow when you'll say I do will you marry him for love or is it spite
Is it love or spite that drives you to his arms
Can you make your heart believe it's right
Can't you see that you are doing wrong tell me darling is it love or is it spite
[ steel ]
Though tomorrow wedding bells will ring and I'll see you standing at his side
In my heart I'll still be wondering is it love or spite that's making you his bride
Everyday darling come what may I'll go on loving you the way I do
I could have spent a lifetime of loneliness I know
Just searching for a dream I'd never find
But now that I have found you I'll never let you go
I'll give you all the love that's in this heart of mine
Yes lovin' you the way I do I'll do anything to keep from ever losing you
Everyday darling come what may I'll go on lovin' you the way I do
No one has better reason to thank the Lord above
For now I know the reason that I live
No man has ever needed a woman's tender love
As much as I have needed all the love you give
Yes lovin' you the way I do...
I got a feelin' called the blues oh Lord since my baby's said goodbye
Well I don't know what I'll do all I do is sit and sigh oh Lord
That last long day she said goodbye well Lord I thought I would die
She'll do me she'll do you she's got that kind of lovin'
Lord I like to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream got to think it over lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow Lord I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome I got the lovesick blues
Well I'm in love I'm in love with a beautiful girl that's what's the matter with me
Well I'm in love I'm in love with a beautiful girl but she don't care about me
Lord I tried and tried to keep her satisfied but she wouldn't stay
So now that she is leavin' this is all that I can say
Mademoiselle Mademoiselle of gay Paris think back think back remember me
Mademoiselle Mademoiselle in dreams I see wour smiling face and gay Paris
We walked and talked by the river Seine
Then we drew our hearts and carved our names
I loved you then and you loved me think back Mademoiselle my used to be
A soldier boy I long for love away from home so you are a girl so all alone
The war is wrong Mademoiselle and so worry but the love we shared just had to be
I was a rover on land and on sea till a good woman's love made a new man of me
Life had no meaning it was so incomplete
Till a good woman's love put me back on my feet
Stead of roamin' I go home in the evening she's waiting there
And I know that no matter what happens she'll always care
And when the night falls and the moon shines above
I'm a man with a dream and a good woman's love
[ guitar ]
Stead of roamin' I go home in...
I'm walking the floor over you I can't sleep a wink that is true
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you
You left me and you went away you said that you'd be back in just a day
You've broken your promise and you've left me here alone
I don't know why you did dear but I do know that you're gone
I'm walking the floor...
[ dobro ]
Someday you may be lonesome too walking the floor is good for you
Just keep right on walking and it won't hurt you to cry
Remember that I loved you and I will the day I die
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the queen of glowin' mountains to the south hills by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all
She's a combination on the Wabash Cannonball
She came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she rolled into the station you could hear all the people say
There's a girl from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
[ guitar ]
Our eastern states are dandy so the people always say
From New York to St Louis and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesotta where the wrippling waters fall
No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear that lonesome hobo's call
When the moon is shining down down through the moss covered trees
Never let to see you kiss anyone else but me
Toujours moi toujours moi let it be always me
Toujours moi toujours moi your love belongs to me
[ piano ]
When your heart is lonesome for sweet words of love cherry
Promise me nobody else will tell you those words but me
Over in Kelarny many years ago
My mother sang a song to me in tone so sweet and low
Just a simple little bitty in her good old Irish way
And I'd give the world if she could sing that song to me this day
Too ra loo ra loo ral too ra loo ra loi too ra loo ra loo ral hush now don't you cry
Too ra loo ra loo ral too ra loo ra loo loi too ra loo ra loo ral that's an Irish lullaby
Often in dreams I wonder to that cut again
I feel her arms a huggin' me as when she held me then
And I hear her voice a hummin' to me as in days of yore
When she used to rock me fast asleep outside the cabin door
When I grow too old to dream I have you to remember
But when I grow too old to dream your love will live in my heart
So kiss me my love and so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream your love will live in my heart
[ strings ]
So kiss me my love...
There is someone at the door guess I'd better go see
Who'd be comin' round at this hour callin' on me
Why of course I might have known should have been expecting you
Come on in and sit right down now why hello Mr Blues
I'll have to say you didn't waste a minute getting here to me
I guess you knew that I was lonely and I needed company
I've got to tell how much I love her and how bad I've been abused
And you're the only one who listen so come in Mr Blues
For a while that she was with me I guess she'd found another friend
And when she left I knew that you will soon be coming back again
I planned nothing for this evening come on in take off your shoes
Bring along your fishin' pole and leave your dirty dishes
Meet me by the fishin' pole and wear your leather britches
Tell your mom and pa every thing's alright
We're gonna go fishin' next Saturday night
Lipstick makeup leave behind
Makeup takes up too much time
You're a little honey and you're quite a dish
But Saturday night we're goin' fishin' you fish
Don't forget the frying pan and bring along some manners
Gonna get your catfish and we'll cook 'em up for dinner
Rollin' up and fryin' up and bakin' up right
We're gonna go fishin' next Saturday night
Lipstick makeup leave behind
Makeup takes up too much time
You're a little honey and you're quite a dish
But Saturday night we're goin' fishin' you fish
Never mind your powder puff we're not goin' dancin'
'Cause your daddy's had enough a dancin' for romancin'
Bring along your brother that'll be alright
We're really goin' fishin' next Saturday night
Lipstick makeup leave behind
Makeup takes up too much time
You're a little honey and you're quite a dish
But Saturday night we're goin' fishin' you fish
Lipstick makeup leave behind
Makeup takes up too much time
You're a little honey and you're quite a dish
You were there in my arms alone in the moonlight
The trees played the waltz of the wind
It was there that I knew I'll love you forever we danced to the waltz of the wind
The stars up above you looked down in your eyes
And told me this night would never end
Now I'm dreaming of you till we meet tomorrow and dance to the waltz of the wind
[ guitar ]
I was just lonesome I was just blue and I was too close to her and too far from you
We shared a glass of wine and a dance or two
And I held her close to me wishing she was you
That's how things happen that's how things begin
A heart gets too lonesome and looks for a friend
I didn't mean to cheat or be untrue
But I was too close to her and too far from you
Day after day went by with no letter from you
And you didn't telephone like you said that you would do
And darling I felt so hurt when you let me down
So lonely and tired of just hangin' around
And that's how things happen...
Together again my tears have stopped falling the long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters we're together again
Together again the grey skies are gone you're back in my arms now where I belong
