Webb Pierce Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.I Ain't Never

Lyricist:Webb Pierce, Mel Tillis

Well I ain't never, I ain't never
Seen nobody like you, no, no, no
Never have I ever seen nobody like you

You call me up and say to meet me at nine
I have to hurry, hurry, but I'm there on time
I walk right up and knock on your door
The landlord says she ain't a here, no more

I ain't never oh, darling seen nobody like you
Hoo, hoo, but I love you, yeah, I love you
I love you just the same

Well, you tell me sweet things that you don't mean
You've got me a living in a haunted dream
You make me do things, I don't wanna do
My friends say, oh Webb, what's wrong with you

I ain't never oh, darling seen nobody like you
Hoo, hoo, but I love you, yeah, I love you
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same


2.Crying Over You (1958)

Last night I never closed my eyes to sleep
I spent the whole night crying over you
Today I made a vow I'm gonna keep
Yes I'm gonna quit my crying over you

I'm gonna brush my tears away go out and paint the town
And if you turn up again I'm gonna turn you down
I'm gonna look around for someone new
Yes I'm gonna quit my crying over you

I'm gonna brush my tears away go out and paint the town
And if you turn up again I'm gonna turn you down
I'm gonna look around for someone new
Yes I'm gonna quit my crying over you


3.Fallen Angel (1960)

She's just a fallen angel and I'm the fool who made her fall

Last night I saw an angel, the one I once called mine
The hand that wore my wedding band, held a glass of wine
I took her love for granted; I wronged her night and day
I drove my angel from me and now she's gone astray

She's just a fallen angel but I don't blame her for it all
She's just a fallen angel and I'm the fool who made her fall

So many times she told me she couldn't take much more
So many times I laughed at her and walked right out the door
I wasn't worthy of her and now my angel's gone
The devil took her from me and claimed her for his own

She's just a fallen angel but I don't blame her for it all
She's just a fallen angel and I'm the fool who made her fall


4.Back Street Affair (1952)

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
face
Because they call our love a back street affair

They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair

We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
For the judgment of gossips never fair
We'll just be brave and strong then some day they'll see they're
wrong
So let them call our love a back street affair

We'll be free to love someday when all the talk has died away
And then the happiness we hope for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high and then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair


5.I Haven't Got The Heart (1953)

If I was free from you my darling I would start my life anew
We've been tied down so long; dear I no longer can be true
Now I know that I should tell you it would be the thing to do
But I haven't got the heart to say I'm not in love with you

Just supposing I should leave you take another for my own
Just supposing I forsake you break my vows and leave you alone
Well I'm ashamed down deep inside that I have ever been untrue
But I haven't got the heart to say I'm not in love with you


6.I'm Walking The Dog (1954)

I'm a-walking the dog and I'm never blue
I'm a-walking the dog I ain't thinking about you
Don't need no one to tie me down
I'm a-walking the dog and a-painting the town

Such an easy life I never knew
Until the day that I left you
Well, I'm a carefree lad that's seen the light
I'm a-walking the dog all the day and all night

Well, I'm full of pep I just can't grow old
I got a one-track mind so I've been told
But I'm fancy-free I don't worry no-how
And I'm walking the dog all the law will allow

Such an easy life I never knew
I can't believe it's really true
Well I'm a carefree lad that's seen the light
And I'm a-walking the dog all the day and all night


7.It's Been So Long (1953)

It's been so long since we've said goodbye
I guess that's the reason why I sit and cry
I miss you baby every day and night
It's been so long since I held you tight

Everything's different since you went away
I get so lonely every night and day
I can't help feeling that you aught to know
I love you baby and I miss you so

Nothing ever seems the same
My sunshine has turned to rain
Every time I hear you name
My heart becomes a burning flame

It's been so long since we've said goodbye
I guess that's the reason why I sit and cry
I miss you baby every day and night
It's been so long since I held you tight


8.Last Waltz (1953)

The ballroom was empty the hour was three
They played the last waltz for my darling and me
My poor heart kept wishing the night would not end
For she loved another and I'm just her friend

I love her, I love her my lonely heart cried
But soon she'll become another man's bride

She told me that Sunday was her wedding day
I gave my best wishes what more could I say
That night will be cherished in my memory
When they played the last waltz for my darling and me

She told me that Sunday was her wedding day
I gave my best wishes what more could I say
That night will be cherished in my memory
When they played the last waltz for my darling and me


9.More & More (1954)

More and more I'm forgetting the past
More and more I'm living at last
Day by day I'm a-losing my blues
More and more I'm forgetting about you

But oh, how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh, how I cried the day you said goodbye
Day by day I'm a-losing my blues
More and more I'm forgetting about you

But oh, how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh, how I cried the day you said goodbye
Day by day I'm a-losing my blues
More and more I'm forgetting about you


10.No Love Have I (1960

Honeybee loves the honey the chickadee loves the sky
Everybody loves somebody but no love have I, no love have I

Standing on the corner lovers pass me by
Now my heart is crying cause no love have I, no love have I

Every night in my prayers I pray for some lost love to find my
way
And we'll spend our lonely hours making love in an ivory tower

Lonely is the city when the moonlights up the sky
But what good is that moonlight when no love have I, no love
have I

Every night in my prayers I pray for some lost love to find my
way
And we'll spend our lonely hours making love in an ivory tower

Lonely is the city when the moonlights up the sky
But what good is that moonlight when no love have I, no love
have I


11.Oh So Many Years (1957)

My darling I have loved you oh so many years

All these many years I've loved you, no one has ever known
No one has ever known, but me alone
We've kept it locked inside our hearts, and smiled thru all
those tears
My darling I have loved you, oh, so many years

Each night within my lonely room, I cry dear over you
I'll pray to god that things will turn out right
And when the dawn of day appears, I brush away my tears
My darling I have loved you, oh, so many years

Maybe fate will lead us down a path where we will meet again
And then we'll both be free to love anew
Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips, will banish all those
fears
My darling I have loved you, oh, so many years


12.One Week Later (1958)

One week later oh how I cried
Just one week later I wish I could die

You were so sure you could forget me
You didn't want me by your side
When someone new came and took you
I thought I would be glad to say goodbye

One week later I hurt deep inside
One week later my tears I couldn't hide
One week later oh how I cried
Yes one week later I wish I could die

I prayed for god to forgive me
Yes you broke a heart true as good
But now I relived every moment
We'll regret it until we grow old

One week later I hurt deep inside
One week later my tears I couldn't hide
One week later oh how I cried
Yes one week later I wish I could die


13.Slowly (1954)

Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly your winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you

More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart, I know your stealing I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you

Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly your winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you

There stands the glass that will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain it's my first one today

There stands the glass that will hid all my tears
That will ground all my fears brother I'm on my way

17.That's Me Without You (1953)

A night with no moonlight a day with no sun
A plane with no pilot, a watch that won't run
A tree with no branches, a rose with no dew
A boy with no sweetheart that's me without you

A train with no whistle, a car with no gas
A well with no water, a show with no cast
A love with no future, a sky with no blue
A boy with no sweetheart that's me without you

A bank with no money, a top that won't spin
A book with no story, a love I can't win
A chair with no bottom, a rig with no crew
A song with no music that's me without you

A train with no whistle, a car with no gas
A well with no water, a show with no cast
A court with no jewelry, a church with no pew
A boy with no sweetheart that's me without you


18.Sands Of Gold (1963)

The sands of gold are ever way beside the sea
Like sands of gold I wait till you come back to me
You said your love was mine alone to have and hold
Our pledge of love in written in the sands of gold

And though I heard you say that you must sail away
You're in my heart I know that you'll return someday
The sands of gold are ever way beside the sea
Like sands of gold I wait till you come back to me

And though I heard you say that you must sail away
You're in my heart I know that you'll return someday
The sands of gold are ever way beside the sea
Like sands of gold I wait till you come back to me


19.Sweet Lips (1961)

Your sweet, sweet lips that kiss so sweetly
Yet each kiss leaves a bitter memory
Your sweet, sweet lips fool me completely
And each time you lie I want to cry cause I don't want to be
free

I tell myself were through that I'm walking out on you
And I'm going to make you my old use-to-be
But each time I reach the door I stop for one kiss more
And it tears the heart right out of me

Your sweet, sweet lips that kiss so sweetly
Yet each kiss leaves a bitter memory
Your sweet, sweet lips fool me completely
And each time you lie I gonna to cry that I don't want to be
free

Your sweet, sweet lips that kiss so sweetly
Yet each kiss leaves a bitter memory

free


20.Any OId Time (1956)

Any old time you want to come back home
Write me a line I'm so lonesome since your gone
I had my chance I played the game unfair
But when you left me sweetheart I never thought I'd really care

Now that you're gone I don't know what to do
Won't you please come on back cause I'm still in love with you
You'll find me here like the say you left me alone
Any old time you want to come back home

You'll find me here like the say you left me alone
Any old time you want to come back home


21.Walk On By

If I see you tomorrow on some street in town pardon me if I
don't say hello
I belong to another it wouldn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know
Just walk on by wait on the corner I love you but we're
strangers when we meet
Just walk on by...
In some hidden corner in a place outside of town
Tonight we'll try to say goodbye again
But I know it's not over I'll call tomorrow night I can't let
you go so why pretend
Just walk on by...
I love you but we're strangers when we meet


22.Ready

I remember the first time I dated you
I was ready and willing to give my heart to you
I was ready to go anywhere with you but I wasn't ready the day I
lost you
I was ready to buy a ring for you I was ready and willing to
spend my life with you
I was ready to go all the way with you but I wasn't ready the
day I lost you
Someone came along that you loved better
Just when I thought I had your love forever
I was ready from the first time I dated you
But I wasn't ready the day I lost you
But I wasn't ready the day I lost you


23.Forgive Me

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
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
Forgive me for all the pain...


24.Pick Me Up On Your Way Down

Lyricist:Harlan Howard

You were mine for just a while
Now you're puttin' on the style
And you've never once looked back
At your home across the track

You're the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground
Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone
When their glamor starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong

You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down

They have changed your attitude
Made you haughty and so rude
Your new friends can take the blame
For underneath you're still the same

When you've learned these things are true
I'll be waitin' here for you
As you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down

Lyricist:Paul Clayton, Larry Ehrlich, David Lazar, Tom Six

I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

Papa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home
Johnny can't come home, no, Johnny can't come home
Papa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home
'Cause he's been on the chain gang too long

I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

High sheriff and police riding after me
Riding after me, yeah, they're coming after me
High sheriff and police riding after me
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

I wanna see my honey, wanna see her bad
Wanna see her bad, yeah, wanna see her bad
Wanna see my honey, wanna see her bad
She's the best girl this poor boy ever had

I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

I guess that's the reason why I sit and cry

I love you baby and I miss you so

Nothin' ever seems the same
My sunshine has turned to rain
Every time I hear your name
My heart becomes a burnin' flame

It's been so long since we said goodbye
I guess that's the reason why I sit and cry
I miss you, baby, every day and night
It's been so long since I held you tight

Friends are tryin' to tell me
That I'm just a fool
Your love don't mean a thing

29.If You Were Me (And I Were You)

Lyricist:Frank Miller, Webb Pierce

If you were me and I were you
And I should do the things you do
Would you still love
The way I keep on lovin' you

Of all the times you've been untrue
If I should be the same by you
Just tell me now what would you do
If you were me and I were you

Someday my love may grow cold
Then I'll love you no more I know
Think of all the unkind things
You said and done

But I still love you even though
Your love for me you'll never show
Just tell me now what would you do
If you were me and I were you

If you were me and I were you
And I should do the things you do
Would you still love

Of all the times you've been untrue
If I should be the same by you
Just tell me now what would you do
If you were me and I were you

Lyricist:Max Powell, Wayne Walker

Fool, fool, fool
You know that it's wrong
But you keep hanging on

Till you find out she's gone
And you're lonely again

This time be smart
And don't leave with your heart
The way you always do

Listen to me
And this time you won't be
A fool, fool, fool

Fool, fool, fool
You know that it's wrong
But you keep hanging on
In the game

Lyricist:W Jones, C Peeples, W Pierce

Even tho' you took the sunshine out of my heaven
Even tho' you took the twinkle out of my eyes
I will always be in love with you my darling
Even tho' I sit and wonder if I'm wise

Since the day that you first told me that you love me
I have been head over heels in love with you
Now you say our little romance has to end dear
I walk the floor and wonder what I'll do

Even tho' you took the sunshine out of my heaven
Even tho' you took the twinkle out of my eyes
I will always be in love with you my darling
Even tho' I sit and wonder if I'm wise

There was a time when in my heart I didn't doubt you
Now I'm never sure of what you say or do
For every time time, I try to put my little arms around you
Something tells me that you're not the same old you

Even tho' you took the sunshine out of my heaven
Even tho' you took the twinkle out of my eyes
I will always be in love with you my darling
Even tho' I sit and wonder if I'm wise


32.After The Boy Gets The Girl

Lyricist:Wayne P. Walker

My story begins
Where most stories end
After the boy gets the girl

It didn't work out for me
And I'm blue as I can be
It's the mighty lonesome old world

Who was a fool that said
'There's blues skies ahead
After the boy gets the girl?'

The only blues I've seen
Is the blues from broken dreams
It's the mighty lonesome old world

I think I'll fall back again
To where my heartache began
Back when your love for me was true

But time moves along
Carryin' not who's right or wrong
After the boy gets the girl

A love once sweet and true
Is the no love prove untrue
It's the mighty lonesome old world

I think I'll fall back again
To where my heartache began
Back when your love for me was true

But time moves along
Carryin' not who's right or wrong
After the boy gets the girl

A love once sweet and true
Is the no love prove untrue
It's the mighty lonesome old world


33.You're Not Mine Anymore

Lyricist:W Pierce, T Wilburn

You're not mine anymore
But I'm still paying for
Just a note from you to say
You've changed your mind

Now I know you say we're through
But I'm still in love with you
And it's my fault
That you're not mine anymore

If you don't ever change your mind
To take me back again
I hope you meet someone that's true
And fall in love with him

Since the day you said we're through
I'm even more in love with you
And it's my fault
That you're not mine anymore

You're not mine anymore


34.You Make Me Live Again

Lyricist:Ray Price, Wayne P Walker

I once lost my heart and I swear that
We parted that I'd never lose it again
She made me so blue with a love so untrue
A love I had no chance to win

Then you came along, now my heart sings a song
It haven't been singing since then
You're all that I think of you, be my true love
You make me live again

If I haven't told you that each time I hold you
My heart goes into a spin
I want you so bad, it's driving me mad
'Cause you make me live again

You make my life lighter and as I hold you tighter
I hope this is one heart I win
You're all that I think of, you be my true love
You make me live again


35.You Just Can't Be True

Lyricist:Webb Pierce, Teddy Wilburn

Now honey, you just can't be true
And it seems there's nothing I can do
My heart tells me that you're a roving kind

Well, your heart starts beatin' more and more
And every good looking guy you just adore
Well, I love you, dear, but you just can't be true

You wanna play the field and lead the happy life
Well, I'd thought I worry and I care inside
Then settle this thing and say we're through
'Cause honey, baby, you just can't be true

Now honey, you just can't be true
And it seems there's nothing I can do
My heart tells me that you're a roving kind

Well, your heart starts beatin' more and more
And every good looking guy you just adore
Well, I love you, dear, but you just can't be true


36.Whirlpool Of Love

Lyricist:Webb Pierce, Gary Williams

(Whirlpool, whirlpool of love)
(Everyone says stay away from her door)
You'll end up with heartaches like you ain't before
But I'm lonesome for you in this world
That I call a whirlpool of love

(Nothing seems good for me when you're away)
If I'm sad or happy in the night time or day
It all depends on you, darling, you see
In this whirlpool of love

You brought me many heartaches before
But in your heart, dear, you know
(I am still waiting for you as before)
Soon I'll be knocking on your heart's door
One word from you will set me free
From this whirlpool of love

You brought me many heartaches before
But in your heart, dear, you know
(I am still waiting for you as before)
Soon I'll be knocking on your heart's door
One word from you will set me free
From this whirlpool of love
(Whirlpool, whirlpool of love)


37.Violet And A Rose

Lyricist:Bud Auge, Jimmy Dickens, John Reinfeld, Mel Tillis

A violet fell in love with a rose
And started it flashing from its head to its toe
Then one day the rose was kissed by the dew
A new love was born and the violet turned blue

Roses are red violets are blue
I'm sending red, red roses to you
If you care to send some flowers to me
Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be

I wanted my love to bouquet with you
And just like the rose you've proven untrue
A flower that's wild they say has no home
And just like the violet I'm left all alone

Roses are red violets are blue
I'm sending red, red roses to you
If you care to send some flowers to me
Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be


38.No Love Have I

Lyricist:Mel Tillis

Honey bee loves the honey, chickadee loves the sky
Everybody loves somebody but no love have I, no love have I
Standing on the corner, lovers pass me by
How my heart is crying 'cause no love have I, no love have I

(Every night in my prayers I pray for some lost love to come my
way)
Then we'll spend our lonely hours making love in an ivory tower
Lonely is the city when the moon lights up the sky
But what good is that moonlight if no love have I, no love have
I

(Every night in my prayers I pray for some lost love to come my
way)
Then we'll spend our lonely hours making love in an ivory tower
Lonely is the city when the moon lights up the sky
But what good is that moonlight if no love have I, no love have
I


39.My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You

Lyricist:Lee Ross, Bob Wills

I must 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
Even when the day is through, my heartaches start anew
And that's when I miss you most of all

And my arms keep reaching for you
My eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you

No matter how much I pretend, I wish I had you back again
For nothing else means half as much as you
My world just seemed to die the day you said goodbye
And I can't forget no matter what I do

And my arms keep reaching for you
My eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you


40.It's My Way

Lyricist:Webb Pierce, Wayne Walker

I'll live every day for you
I'll breath ever breath for you
And if I'm mean and make you blue
It's my way of loving you

If I say that you're untrue
And it breaks your heart in two
I can't help these things I do
It's my way of loving you

Try to understand my love look into my heart
Can't you see I'd want to die if we'd ever part
All my life I'll love you so there'll be times it may not show
That my love for you is true, it's my way of loving you

Try to understand my love look into my heart
Can't you see I'd want to die if we'd ever part
All my life I'll love you so there'll be times it may not show
That my love for you is true, it's my way of loving you


41.I'm Walking The Dog

Lyricist:Clifton Grimsley, E.m. Grimsley

I'm walking the dog and I'm never blue
I'm walking the dog, I ain't thinkin' bout you
I don't need no one to tie me down
I'm walking the dog and I'm paintin' the town

Such an easy life, I never knew
Until the day that I left you
Well, I'm a carefree lad that seen the light
I'm walking the dog all the day and all night

Well, I'm full of strength, I just can't grow old
I got a one track mind so I've been told
But I'm fancy free, I don't worry know how
And I'm walking the dog all the law allow

Such an easy life, I never knew
I can't believe it's really true
Well, I'm a carefree lad that seen the light
And I'm walking the dog all the day and all night


42.I'll Never Have To Be Alone

Lyricist:Mel Tillis

One of these days
Yes, I know I'm gonna find me a girl
A pretty little girl, a dolly
I can call my own

And that'll be the day
I'll be sittin' on the top of the world
Me and my girl then maybe, baby
I'll never have to be alone

I ain't never had a love affair
Nobody for my very own
The pages are empty in my little black book
I walk in the moon alone

One of these days
Yes, I know I'm gonna find me a girl
A pretty little girl then maybe, baby
I'll never have to be alone

One of these days the sun's gonna shine
Right through my front door
A pretty little girl is gonna walk about ten
I'll never be lonely no more

And that'll be the day
I'll sit on the top of the world
Me and my girl then maybe, baby
I'll never have to be alone


43.I'll Go On Alone

Lyricist:Marty Robbins

We're trav'ling down two different roads in world so far apart
You want me yet there's something 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 dear it's best we live apart
You'll go your way and I'll go mine, we'll both make brand new
start

There's nothing I can say, it seems we'll never get along
With you believing like you do you to say I live so wrong
But I can't change my way of life, I've lived it much too long
You'll have to take me like I am or I'll go on alone

So either say you want my love or take the way you live
Remember though before you get you gotta 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


44.I Owe It To My Heart

Lyricist:Johnny Mathis, Webb Pierce

I wonder if you'll be the tie
To make me wanna cry each night
I'll never know unless we make a start

Why should I be afraid to try?
You'll either make me laugh or cry
I've got to know, I owe it to my heart

Will you walk in my heart today?
Then tomorrow run away
And in our love without a chance to start

If I should win or I should lose
It's up to you for I can't choose
I've got to know, I owe it to my heart

I owe it to my heart
To find the happiness that can't be mine
And you're the best way I know how to start

Will your kisses last like gold
Or all at once will they grow cold?
I've got to know, I owe it to my heart

Will you walk in my heart today?
Then tomorrow run away
And in our love without a chance to start

If I should win or I should lose
It's up to you for I can't choose
I've got to know, I owe it to my heart


45.I Haven't Got The Heart

Lyricist:Webb Pierce, Hattie Winston

If I was free from you my darling
I would start my life a new
We've been tied down, oh so long dear
I no longer can be true

Now I know that I should tell you
It would be the thing to do
But I haven't got the heart to say
I'm not in love with you

Just suppose and I should leave you
Take another for my own
Just suppose that I forsake you
Break my vows and leave you alone

Well, I'm ashamed down deep inside
That I have ever been untrue
But I haven't got the heart to say
I'm not in love with you


46.Falling Back To You

Lyricist:Bill C Phillips, Webb Pierce

Yes, I keep falling back to you
What else can I do
I keep falling back to you
I can't forget the past we knew

So many times, I've had you on my mind
It seems, I just can't leave the past behind
I know you've been untrue dear
But oh, what can I do?
For every time the sun goes down
I fall right back to you

Yes, I keep falling back to you
What else can I do
I keep falling back to you
I can't forget the past we knew

So many times, I've had you on my mind
It seems, I just can't leave the past behind
I know you've been untrue dear
But oh, what can I do?
For every time the sun goes down
I fall right back to you

Yes, I keep falling back to you
What else can I do
I keep falling back to you
I can't forget the past we knew


47.Poison Love

Lyricist:Elmer Laird

All your poison love has stained the life's blood in my heart
and soul, dear
And I know my life will never be the same
All my pleas and prayers have been in vain for you and you
alone, dear
And you know that you are guilty of a shame

Into each life a love is born for one and one alone, dear
The love I chose was surely not for me
But still my heart cries out for you and you alone, my darling
And my better judgment tells me to say no

All your poison love has stained the life's blood in my heart
and soul, dear
And I know my life will never be the same
All my pleas and prayers have been in vain for you and you
alone, dear
And you know that you are guilty of a shame


48.I've Got My Fingers Crossed

Lyricist:George Mccormick, Wayne P Walker

I've got my fingers crossed
I pray our love isn't lost
It all depends on you, honey
What have we gonna do?

Each time our fingers touch
You know, I love you so much
It all depends on you, honey
What have we gonna do?

I'll love you till I die
It would hurt me to see you cry
You're my every dream, my every scheme
Don't ever say goodbye

I've got my fingers crossed
I pray our love isn't lost
It all depends on you honey
What have we gonna do?

I'll love you till I die
It would hurt me to see you cry
You're my every dream, my every scheme
Don't ever say goodbye

I've got my fingers crossed
I pray our love isn't lost
It all depends on you honey
What have we gonna do?


49.Slowly

Lyricist:Tommy Hill, Webb Pierce

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, no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you

More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart, I know you're stealing, I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you

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 no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you


50.Back Street Affair

Lyricist:Billy Wallace

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
Because they call our love a back street affair

They say you wrecked my home, I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair

We have each other now, that's all that matters anyhow
Why the judgment of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong, then someday they'll see they're
wrong
So let them call our love a back street affair

We'll be free to love someday when all the talk has died away
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high and the world will hear me cry
That our love is not a back street affair


51.Let Forgiveness In

Lyricist:Webb Pierce

I just received your letter
That you wrote in deep despair
You say your heart is closed to me
And you no longer care

What can I do or say
To make you change your mind again
Oh, won't you open up your heart
And let forgiveness in

I'd give the world to hear you say
You love me as before
And that the happy yesterdays
Is ours to live once more

Let's live again the used to be
We were so happy then
Oh, won't you open up your heart
And let forgiveness in

I may pretend I never cry
To tell the truth I do
For sadness came with your goodbye
Are you unhappy too

For if it's true you care for me
To hide, it is a sin
Oh, won't you open up your heart
And let forgiveness in


52.I'm Gonna Fall Out Of Love With You

Lyricist:J Smith

When I fell in love with you
Well, that's what I wanted to do
But if you can't be true
I'm gonna fall out of love with you

Dear, you've cheated and lied
Many long nights I cried
But what good does it do
I'm gonna fall out of love with you

Is that what you want me to do
Fall out of love with you?
A few more days, you don't change your ways
I'm fallin' out of love with you

You're making a fool of me
These things that I just can't see
The best thing for me to do
Is to fall out of love with you

Oh, how I tried to plead
I begged you on my knees
There's nothing left to do
I'm gonna fall out of love with you

Is that what you want me to do
Fall out of love with you?
A few more days, you don't change your ways
I'm fallin' out of love with you


53.Yes I Know Why (I Want To Cry)

Lyricist:Webb Pierce

Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you
And I'm painting the town feeling blue
Should you ever love one that's untrue?
Then you'll know why I want to cry, it's over you

Well, I tried you all over again
And you just smiled all over again
I should have known that you'd never be true
Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you

Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you
And I'm painting the town feeling blue
Should you ever love one that's untrue?
Then you'll know why I want to cry, it's over you

Well, tomorrow I'll be twice as blue
I'm so low I could die over you
Yes, I'm asking for heartaches anew
And I know why I want to cry, it's over you


54.There Stands the Glass

Lyricist:Audrey Grisham, Russ Hull, Mary Jean Shurtz

There stands the glass that will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain, it's my first one today
There stands the glass that will hide all my tears
That will drown all my fear, brother I'm on my way

I'm wondering where you are tonight
I'm wondering if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery

There stands the glass, fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim, it's my first one today

I'm wondering where you are tonight
I'm wondering if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery

There stands the glass, fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim, it's my first one today


55.Drifting Texas Sand

Lyricist:Buster Coward

Well, I went to the river to water my horse
I couldn't find the river, just rode across
On that drifting shifting Texas sand

Texas sand, drifting Texas sand
Sandy land down by the Rio Grande

Well, sand in my coffee sand in my tea
When I die they're gonna bury me
But deep in that drifting shifting Texas sand

Texas sand, drifting Texas sand
Sandy land down by the Rio Grande

Well, I went to the river to water my horse
I couldn't find the river, just rode across
On that drifting shifting Texas sand

Well, sand in my coffee, sand in my tea
When I die they're gonna bury me
But deep in that drifting shifting Texas sand


56.Honky Tonk Song

Lyricist:Buck Peddy, Mel Tillis

I got me a room
In a cheap hotel
My head was a spinnin'
And I didn't feel well

I laid right down
And tried to go to sleep
A band kept a playin'
In a joint underneath

I picked up my pillow
And I covered up my head
But the band kept a playin'
And a shakin' my bed

Honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk, same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone
Honky tonk, she done me wrong

I turned and I tossed
And I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band kept a playin'
With a honky tonk beat

Well, I'm so blue
My baby's gone
She took all my money
And left me all alone

I'm tryin' to forget her
But I don't know what to do
The honky tonk song
Keeps a leakin' through

I picked up my pillow
And I covered up my head
But the band keeps a playin'
And a shakin' my bed

Honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk, same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone
Honky tonk, she done me wrong

I turned and I tossed
And I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band keeps a playin'
With a honky tonk beat


57.Wondering

Lyricist:Joe Werner

Wondering, wondering
Who's kissing you
Wondering, wondering
If you're wondering too

Every hour through the day
Since you been away
I keep wondering, yes, wondering
If you're wondering too

I pray every night
To the good Lord above
To send back to me
The one I really love

Wondering, wondering
Who's kissing you
Wondering, wondering
If you're wondering too

Every hour through the day
Since you been away
I keep wondering, yes, wondering
If you're wondering too

I pray every night
To the good Lord above
To send back to me
The one I really love

Wondering, wondering
Who's kissing you
Wondering, wondering
If you're wondering too

Every hour through the day
Since you been away
I keep wondering, yes, wondering
If you're wondering too


58.That's Me Without You

Lyricist:J.d. Miller, B Wyatt

A night with no moonlight, a day with no sun
A plane with no pilot, a watch that won't run
A tree with no branches, a rose with no dew
A boy with no sweetheart, that's me without you

A train with no whistle, a car with no gas
A well with no water, a show with no cast
A love with no future, a sky with no blue
A boy with no sweetheart, that's me without you

A bank with no money, a top that won't spin
A book with no story, a love I can't win
A chair with no bottom, a rig with no crew
A song with no music, that's me without you

A train with no whistle, a car with no gas
A well with no water, a show with no cast
A court with no jury, a church with no pew
A boy with no sweetheart, that's me without you


59.Don't Do It Darling

Lyricist:Webb Pierce

There are so many flirty guys with flirty, flirty ways
Till I am so afraid that they will try to steal you some day
But don't you let 'em, darlin', 'cause you belong to me
Oh, please, don't ever let them think your heart is fancy free
Don't do it, darlin', that heart belongs to me

They'll tell you that I trifle and that you should do the same
They'll tell you that they need your love so why not make the
change
But don't do it, darlin', that love belongs to me
Oh, please, don't let them blind you, I still love you, can't
you see?
Don't do it, darlin', that heart belongs to me

They'll offer you a mansion, ask you if you'll be their queen
So they can give you riches, make your life a happy dream
But don't let 'em, darlin', that dream belongs to me
Oh, sure, they'll try to buy your love with riches such as these
But don't let 'em, darlin', that heart belongs to me


60.Don't Throw Your Life Away

Lyricist:Pierce Michael Webb, Wallace Billy

You say you'll never be my wife caused you've done wrong in life
And from it all your heart is bruised and torn
But God will forgive you and darling I will too
Just let me love you, don't throw your life away

You gave your heart for his fun, now the damage has been done
Don't wish you had never been born
While the mistake has been made, your love is too sweet to waste
away
So let me love you, don't throw your life away

He treated you mean and cheap and your hurt I know was deep
The rose you found was full of deadly thorns
He dragged your name beneath his feet and now he shuns you on
the street
But let me love you, don't throw your life away

Come into my waiting arms, we'll fight life's bitter storms
My loving you, I'm not sorry for
If your loves not meant for me than wrong I'll always be
Just let me love you, don't throw your life away


61.In the Jailhouse Now

He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now

Well I had a friend named Rambling Bob
Who used to steal, gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday, that Bob got locked up Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse way downtown

He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now

Well I went out last Tuesday
I met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
Well she started and to spend my money
She started and to callin' me honey
We took in every honky tonk in town

We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now


62.Is It Wrong (for Loving You)

Lyricist:Warner Mc Pherson

Is it wrong for loving you? Is it wrong for being true?
Tell me darling tell me? Please dear, is it wrong?

But I ask myself inside no need telling myself lies

Webb Pierce & Mel Tillis
Well you tell me that you love me you make me feel so good
But I don't feel that you're treating me the best way that you
could
Well I gave you all my money then you tell me to come around
But all that's waiting for me at your door is your overgrown
bloodhound
If you love me baby there's just one thing I can see
How come your dog don't bite nobody but me

Well he never bites the postman he licks the milkman's hand
But every time I come around he thinks I'm the booger man
You say you need my loving but I can't believe it's true
Or else you wouldn't let that dog molest me the way you do
Well if you love me baby there's just one thing I can see
How come your dog don't bite nobody but me


66.Too Old To Cut The Mustard (1952)

Webb Pierce & Red Foley
When I was young I had a lot of pep
I could get around I didn't need no help
But now you're old and turning gray
The people all look at you and say

Too old, too old, he's too to cut the mustard anymore
He's getting too old he done got too to cut the mustard anymore

I used to jump just like a deer
But now you need a new landing gear
I used to jump a picket fence
But now you're lucky if you jump an inch

Too old, too old, he's too to cut the mustard anymore
He's getting too old he done got too to cut the mustard anymore

When I was young I had an automobile
But now they push you around in a chair with wheels
I had to fight the girls off with a stick
But now they say he makes me sick

Too old, too old, he's too to cut the mustard anymore
He's getting too old he done got too to cut the mustard anymore

When I was young and in my prime
The girls all used to stand in line
But now they go the other way
And as they leave I hear them say

Too old, too old, he's too to cut the mustard anymore
He's getting too old he done got too to cut the mustard anymore

Too old, too old, he's too to cut the mustard anymore
