1.Who's Gonna Hold Her Hand
Lyricist：Tom Drake, Bob Shane
Who's gonna hold her hand？
Who's gonna hold her hand？
Who's gonna be her man tonight？
Who's gonna hold her hand？
I watched that big white boat go down
Sailing to the sea
And ev'ry time that wheel went around
She was farther away from me
She sailed away to another town
I'll never understand
She walked the streets in a yellow gown
Singing, 'Who's gonna be my man？'
Who's gonna hold her hand？
Who's gonna hold her hand？
Who's gonna be her man tonight？
Who's gonna hold her hand？
I used to walk by the riverside
Lonesome as I could be
Hoping the boat would come sailing in
Bringing her back to me
Sometimes I think my world will end
And I'll have no place to hide
To cry the tears she left with me
And the lonely feeling inside
Who's gonna hold her hand？
Who's gonna hold her hand？
Who's gonna be her man tonight？
Who's gonna hold her hand？
2.Leave My Woman Alone
Lyricist：Ray Charles
If you don't want, you don't have to get in trouble
If you don't want, you don't have to get in trouble
Hey, you'd better leave my woman alone
Well, I know you are a playboy
And you've got your women all over town
Well, listen, buddy, if you ever sweet talk my little girl
I'm gonna lay your body down
If you don't want, you don't have to get in trouble
If you don't want, you don't have to get in trouble
Hey, you'd better leave my woman alone
Well, I know you've got your money
And you've got a new convertible, too
But if I ever see my little girl in your little car
I'm gonna do some work on you
If you don't want, you don't have to get in trouble
If you don't want, you don't have to get in trouble
Hey, you'd better leave my woman alone
Well, I don't believe in trouble
So I don't want to start a fight
So if you take heed and stay away from my little girl
Well, everything will be alright
If you don't want, you don't have to get in trouble
If you don't want, you don't have to get in trouble
Hey, you'd better leave my woman alone
3.The Escape Of John Webb
Lyricist：Tom Drake
Five men to guard the British rank
And five to watch the town above
And two to stand at either hand
And one to let Bill Tenner out
He had eighty weight of Spanish iron
Between his neck bone and his knee
But Billy took Johnny up under his arm
And lugged him away right manfully
And Billy broke locks and Billy broke bolts
And Billy broke all that he came nigh
Until he came to the dungeon door
And that he broke right manfully
So they stole them a horse and away did ride
And who what they rode gallantly
Until they came to the river bank
To the river runnin' wild and free
The British were comin' close on their heels
And who but they stood fearfully
'Til Billy took Johnny up on his back
And carried him over it easily
And Billy broke locks and Billy broke bolts
And Billy broke all that he came nigh
Until he came to the dungeon door
And that he broke right manfully
So they called at the inn for a room to dance
And who but they danced merrily
And the very best dancer among them all
Was old John Webb who was just set free
4.Bad Man's Blunder
Lyricist：Lee Hays, Cisco Houston
Well, early one evenin' I was rollin' around
I was feelin' kind of mean, I shot a deputy down
Strollin' on home and I went to bed
Well, I laid my pistol up under my head
He strolled along home
(I took my time)
And he went to bed
(Thought I'd sleep some)
Laid his pistol
(Big twenty-two)
Up under his head
(I keep it handy)
Well, early in the mornin' 'bout the break of day
I figured it was time to make a getaway
Steppin' right along but I was steppin' too slow
Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico
He was steppin' right along
(Were a-high footin' it)
But he was steppin' too slow
(It was a sultry day)
Got surrounded by a sheriff
(Boxed in)
In Mexico
(I didn't even have a chance to see the country)
When I was arrested, I didn't have a dime
The sheriff says, 'Son, you're ridin' free this time
Where you're goin' you won't need a cent
'Cause the great state of Texas gonna pay your rent'
'Cause where you're goin'
(I think he means jail)
You won't need a cent
(Well, he knows I'm broke)
'Cause the great state of Texas
(Yippee)
Gonna pay your rent
(I'm mighty grateful, fellas)
Well, I didn't have a key and I didn't have a file
Naturally I stayed around until my trial
The judge was an old man, ninety-three
And I didn't like the way the jury looked at me
Well, the judge was an old man
(Too old)
Ninety-three
(Entirely too old)
I didn't like the way the jury looked at me
I think they were suspicious
The judge and the jury, they did agree
They all said murder in the first degree
The judge said, same
'I don't know whether to hang you or not
But this your killing of deputy sheriffs
Has just naturally got to stop'
('You've got a point there, judge')
It was a most unsatisfactory trial
They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile
Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground
All I ever did was shoot a deputy down
Ninety and nine
(It could have been life)
On the hard rock pile
(They might-a hung me)
And all he ever did was shoot a deputy down
(This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me)
(Bang, you're dead)
5.South Wind
Lyricist：Travis Edmonson
Well, I know I don't have to be told
That the North wind is chilly and cold
Well, I know far from the South wind I ran
Now, I'm a lost and lonely man, well, I know
Had a little girl but she left me
Had a little girl but she left me, well, I know
She took the sun and left me the rain
And left me the sorrow and all of the pain
Well, I know, she took my love and left me torn
Now, I'm lonely and forlorn, well, I know
All of my love done left me
All of my love done left me, well, I know
She told me someday she'd return
If the sun should freeze or the earth should burn
Well, I know but now she's gone and in the sky
The wind alone can hear me cry, well, I know
Had a little girl but she left me
Had a little girl but she left me, well, I know
6.Everglades
Lyricist：Howard Harlan
He was born and raised around Jacksonville
A nice young man, not the kind to kill
But a jealous fight and a flashin' blade
Sent him on the run to the Everglades
Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades
Now, the posse went in and they came back out
They said he'll die and there ain't no doubt
It's an eye for an eye so the debt is paid
He won't last long in the Everglades
A man can't live in the Everglades
Where a man can hide and never be found
And have no fear of the bayin' hounds
But he better keep movin' and don't stand still
If the skeeters don't get him then the gaters will
Now, the years went by and his girl was wed
His family gave him up for dead
But now and then the natives would say
They'd seen him runnin' through the Everglades
Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades
Now, he never heard the news on the radio
He was deep in the 'glades so he'll never know
His runnin' and hidin' didn't make much sense
For the jury had ruled it was self-defense
Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades
Where a man can hide and never be found
And have no fear of the bayin' hounds
But he better keep movin' and don't stand still
If the skeeters don't get him then the gaters will
Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades
Skippin' like a frog through the slimy bog
Runnin' through the trees from the Everlys
7.This Mornin', This Evenin', So Soon
Tell old Bill when he leaves home this mornin', tell old Bill
when he leaves home this evenin',
Tell old Bill when he leaves home to let those downtown girls
alone, this mornin', this evenin', so soon.
Old Sal was bakin' bread this mornin'. Old Sal was bakin' bread
this evenin'.
Old Sal was bakin' bread when she got word that Bill was dead,
this mornin', this evenin', so soon.
Oh, no! It can't be so this mornin'. Oh, no! It can't be so this
evenin'.
Oh, no! It can't be so. My Bill left home about an hour ago,
this mornin', this evenin', so soon.
They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this mornin'. They
brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this evenin'.
Brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon. Brought Bill home with
his toes a-draggin' this mornin', this evenin', so soon. This
mornin', this evenin', so soon.
8.Buddy Better Get On Down The Line
ninety-seven, making up some time.
Buddy, this is ninety-seven at your back. Got a ton of coal
poured down the stack.
Here comes ninety-seven, runnin' down the track.
Hey, hey, pretty baby, hey, hey. Baby, now don't get in my way.
When I'm in town, you call me sugar, honey. When I'm gone, just
run around and play.
ninety-seven, comin' in on time.
Met a lot of weather early today. Makin' up an hour and a
quarter delay.
Here comes ninety-seven, roarin' all the way.
Roll on, pretty baby, roll on. You know you're gonna miss me
when I'm gone.
You mess around too long and now I'm leavin'. Bye-bye, adios,
farewell, so long.
9.To Morrow
I started on a journey about a year ago to a little town called
Morrow in the State of Ohio.
I've never been much of a traveler, and I really didn't know
that Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go.
So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied for tips
regarding Morrow not expecting to beguiled.
Said I, 'My friend, I'd like to go to Morrow and return no later
than tomorrow for I haven't time to burn.'
Said he to me, 'Now let me see if I have heard you right. You'd
like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night.
You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today for the
train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.
If you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don't you see, you could
have gone to Morrow and returned today at three
For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right, today
it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night.'
Said I, 'My friend, it seems to me you're talking through your
hat. There is a town named Morrow on the line now tell me that.'
'There is,' said he, 'but take me a quiet little tip. To go from
here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip.
The train today to Morrow leaves today at eight thirty-five. At
half-past ten to Morrow is the time it should arrive.
So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump, can you go
today to Morrow and get back today, you chump？'
Said I, 'I'd like to go to Morrow so can I go today and get to
Morrow by tonight if there is no delay？'
'Well, well,' said he to me, 'and I've got no more to say. Can't
get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today.'
Said I, 'I guess you know it all but kindly let me say, how can
I get to Morrow if I leave this town today？'
Said he, 'You cannot go to Morrow any more today 'cause the
train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.'
I was so disappointed. I was mad enough to swear. The train had
gone to Morrow and had left me standing there.
That man was right in telling me that I was a-howling jay. I
could not go to Morrow so I guess in town I'll stay.
10.Colorado Trail
Weep, all ye little rains. Wail, winds, wail. All along, along,
along the Colorado Trail.
Eyes like the morning star, cheeks like the rose, Laura was a
pretty girl everybody knows.
Laura was a laughin' girl, joyful in the day. Laura was my
darling girl. Now she's gone away.
Sixteen years she graced the Earth and all of life was good. Now
my life lies buried 'neath a cross of wood.
All along, along, along the Colorado Trail.
11.The Tattooed Lady
We came to town to see that old tattooed lady. She was a sight
to see, tattooed from head to knee.
My uncle Ned was there. He came to gape and stare. 'I've never!'
he declared, 'Seen such a freak so fair.'
And on her jaw was the Royal Flying Corp and on her back was the
Union Jack, now could you ask for more？
All up and down her spine marched the Queen's own guards in line
and all around her hips sailed a fleet of battleships.
And over her left kidney was a bird's eye view of Sidney but
what we liked best was upon her chest
My little home in Waikiki! (What did you say？) [Repeat all
lines]
12.When I Was Young
When I was young and dreams were new, I loved a girl who looked
like you.
I saw her face in mountains stream. I lingered there and lost
myself in dreams.
But we were young and tossed away our precious love along the
way.
We parted strangers, thoughtless and free and set our hearts to
wandering aimlessly.
But looking back, somehow I see how seldom love has come to me.
And I confess that now and then I think of her remembering when
If I were young and dreams were new, I love a girl who looked
like you.
I'd hold her close if she'd agree to love perhaps a boy who
looked like me.
Oooooo
