1.A Poor Man's Roses
Written:bob hilliard and milton delugg
(as recorded by patsy cline november 8, 1956)
I must make up my mind today
What to have, what to hold
A poor man's roses
Or a rich man's gold
One's as wealthy as a king in a palace
Tho' he's callous and cold
He may learn to give his heart for love
Instead of buyin' it with gold
Then the poor man's roses
And the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That i'll never miss
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
Is the hand i will hold
For the rose of love means more to me
More than any rich man's gold
(repeat last two verses)
2.Back In Baby's Arms
Written:bob montgomery
(released april 15, 1963)
(chorus)
I'm back in baby's arms
How i missed those lovin' arms
I'm back where i belong
Back in baby's arms
Don't know why we quarreled
We never did before
Since we found out how it hurt
I bet we never quarrel anymore
(repeat chorus)
Thought i didn't need his love
'til he took it away
Now i'm back where i belong
And in my baby's arms i'm gonna stay
(repeat chorus)
Back in baby's arms...
3.Crazy
Written:willie nelson
(as performed by willie nelson)
Also performed by patsy cline and ray price*
Crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew
You'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday
You'd leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do i let myself worry
Wond'rin'
What in the world did i do
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin'
Crazy for cryin'
And i'm crazy
For lovin' you
(repeat last verse)
4.Foolin' 'round
Written:harlan howard and buck owens
(as recorded by patsy cline 8/24/61)
(chorus)
I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the
start
So i'll give back your ring and i'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Just come on home and fool around with me
Well, i wasn't foolin' 'round the day i said 'i do'
But many a night i wished that i'd been foolin' too
I know it's foolish takin' all this misery
But when it's you, a fool i'll always be
(repeat chorus)
So honey, fool around, you know right where i'm at
And don't worry if i'm lonesome, cause i'm used to that
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Then come on home and fool around with me!
(repeat chorus)
(spoken)
Please come on home, baby, i'm waiting for you, see
Mm-hm, just for you...
5.Heartaches
Written:al hoffman and john klenner
(as released by patsy cline 10/8/62)
Heartaches, heartaches
My loving you meant only heartaches
Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me
I can't believe it's just a burning memory
Heartaches, heartaches
What does it matter how my heart breaks
I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches for you
(repeat verse 1 and 2)
Heartaches, heartaches
What does it matter how my heart breaks
I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches
And my heart breaks
And my heart aches for you
6.Imagine That
Written:justin tubb
(as released by patsy cline 5/7/62)
Imagine me still lovin' you
After all you've put me thru
Well, i can't help it, i just do
Imagine that, and that's not the half
Imagine this, if you can
I've stood more, more than i should stand
But i'd still take you back again
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
Can you believe i'd swallow my pride
Well, yes, yes, i guess you can
'cause you know you've always had my foolish heart
Right in the palm of your hand
So, for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
'cause i'm still waitin' and lovin' you
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh

7.I Fall To Pieces
Written:harlan howard and hank cochran
(as recorded by jim reeves, november 21, 1961)
I fall to pieces
Each time i see you again
I fall to pieces
How can i be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And i've tried and i've tried but i haven't yet
You walk by, and i fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me, too, the way you used to do
But each time i go out with someone new
You walk by and i fall to pieces
(i fall to pieces)
Each time someone speaks your name
(i fall to pieces)
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too, the way you used to do
But each time i go out with someone new
You walk by and i fall to pieces

I love you so much, it hurts me so

10.San Antonio Rose
deep within my heart
Lies a melody,
A song of old san antone,
Where in dreams i live
With a memory,
Beneath the stars all alone.
Well, it was there i found
Beside the alamo
Enchantment strange as the
Blue up above,
For that moonlit pass
That only he would know
Still hears my broken song of love.
Moon in all your splendor,
Known only to my heart,
Call back my rose,
Rose of san antone!
Lips so sweet and tender,
Like petals fallinapart,
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song,
Empty words i know
Still live in my heart all alone,
For that moonlit pass by the alamo,
And rose my rose of san antone!
Broken song, empty words, i know,
Still live in my heart all alone,
For that moonlit pass by the alamo,
And rose my rose of san antoneand rose my rose of san
antoneand rose my rose
Of san antone!
11.Seven Lonely Days
Written:earl shuman, alden shuman and marshall brown
(as recorded by patsy cline 8/24/61)
Seven lonely days make one lonely week
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were thru
Seven lonely days i cried and i cried for you
Oh, my darlin' you're cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
There's no use in denyin' i cried for you
It was your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
Last week was the last time i cried for you
Seven hankies blue i filled with my tears
Seven letters, too, i filled with my fears
Guess it never pays to make your lover blue
Seven lonely days i cried and i cried for you
Oh, my darlin you're cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Now, there's no use in denyin' i cried for you
It was your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
Last week was the last time i cried for you
Last week was the last time i cried for you
12.She's Got You
Written:hank cochran
I've got your picture
That you gave to me
And it's signed with love
Just like it used to be
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got your picture
She's got you
I've got the records
That we used to share
And they still sound the same
As when you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got the records
She's got you
Chorus:
I've got your memory
Or, has it got me
I really don't know
But i know, it won't let me be
I've got your class ring
That proves you cared
And it still looks the same
As when you gave it, dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things
She's got you
Repeat chorus

13.South Of The Border
south of the border, down mexico way
That's where they fell in love when stars above came out to play
And now as they wander, their thoughts ever stray
South of the border, down mexico way
She was a picture in old spanish lace
Just for a tender while
He kissed the smile
Upon her face
For it was 'fiesta' and they were so gay
South of the border, down mexico way
Then she sighed as she whispered 'manana'
Never dreaming that they were parting
And he lied as he whispered 'manana'
For that tomorrow never came
South of the border, he rode back one day
There in a veil of white
By candlelight
She knelt to pray
The mission bells told him that he mustn't stay
South of the border, down mexico way
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
14.So Wrong
Written:danny dill, carl perkins and mel tillis
I've been so wrong, for so long
Thought i could live without the love that you give
I was wrong, oh, so wrong
I've been so wrong, for so long
I didn't know that i loved you so
I was wrong
Chorus:
Well, i never knew i could want you darlin
Oh, so much
Now that you're gone, i dream of you
And your sweet touch
I was so wrong, for so long
But i've seen the light, darlin, i'll make it right
I was wrong
Repeat chorus
Repeat last verse
15.Strange
Written:mel tillis and fred burch
Strange, how you stopped loving me
How you stopped needing me
When she came along
Oh, how strange
Strange, you changed like night and day
Just up and walked away
When she came along
Oh, how strange
Chorus:
Well, i guess that i was just your puppet
You held on a string
To think i thought you really loved me
But look what thoughts can bring
Strange, you're still in all my dreams
Oh what a funny thing
I still care for you
Oh, how strange
Repeat chorus
Repeat last verse
How strange...

16.Sweet Dreams(Of You)
Written:don gibson
(as released by patsy cline, april 15, 1963)
Sweet dreams of you
Every night i go thru
Why can't i forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me, it's plain
I should know i'll never wear your ring
I should hate you the whole night thru
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams of you
Things i know can't come true
Why can't i forget the past, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

17.The Wayward Wind
Written:herb newman and stan lebowsky
(as recorded by eddy arnold, february 23, 1962)
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And i was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
And i guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave to my wand'ring ways
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And i was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Oh i met a girl in a border town
I vowed we'd never part
Tho' i tried my best to settle down
She's now alone with a broken heart
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And i was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
The next of kin to the wayward wind
(as recorded by patsy cline, 8/17/61)
(chorus)
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
He spent his younger days
And i guess the sound of the outward bound
Made him a slave to his wand'rin ways
(repeat chorus)
Oh, i met him there in a border town
He vowed we'd never part
Tho' he tried his best to settle down
Now i'm alone with a broken heart
(repeat chorus)
The next of kin to the wayward wind
18.Tra Le La Le La Triangle
Written:fred burch and marijohn wilkin
(released january 7, 1963)
I've got my life in such a mess
And i don't know what to do
How can i live in this ol' world
And be in love with two
If i said goodbye to my first true love
My heart would break in two
For i'm halfway still in love with him
And half in love with you
(chorus)
Tra le la le la le la triangle
Tra le la le la le la triangle
Tra le la le la le la triangle
My life's in such a tangle
Tra le la le la le la ~ triangle
Tra le la le la le la ~ triangle
Tra le la le la le la ~ triangle
What'll i do about you
I saw you at the movie show
Just the other day
But i was with my other love
So i looked the other way
I didn't want to hurt him
Couldn't bear for him to see
The way that i would look at you
And the way you look at me
(repeat chorus, 2x)
What'll i do about you...

19.True Love
Written:cole porter
(as recorded by patsy cline 8/17/61)
While i give to you
And you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on
It will always be
True love, true love
For you and i have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you
And to give to me
Love forever true
But to give to you
And to give to me
Love forever true
Love forever true
20.Walkin' After Midnight
i go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well, that's just my way
Of sayin' i love you
I'm always walkin' after midnight, searchin' for you
Chorus:
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as i can be
I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight*
Just hopin' you may be
Somewhere a-walkin' after midnight, searchin' for me
21.Why Can't He Be You
Written:hank cochran
Released october 8, 1962
He takes me to the places you and i used to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that i never got from you
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you
He never fails to call and tell me i'm on his mind
And i'm lucky to have such a guy; i hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me, too, his love is true
Why can't he be you
He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul
And i should love him so, 'cause he loves me, i know
But his kisses leave me cold
He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love
And my friends say when he's around, i'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you

22.You're Stronger Than Me
Written:hank cochran and jimmy key
(as performed by patsy cline)
If you are sincere
When you say you don't care
That our love is just a memory
If the love that we knew
Won't bother you
Darlin', you're stronger than me
Chorus:
For if still lovin' you means i'm weak
Then i'm weak
For i still fall apart when we speak
Or we meet
If the love that we knew
Won't bother you
Darlin you're stronger than me
If you can have fun
With some other one
With no thought of what used to be
If it's easy to say
That it's better this way
Darlin you're stronger than me
Repeat chorus

23.Your Cheatin' Heart
your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you
When tears come down
Like fallin' rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way i do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you
When tears come down
Like fallin' rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You're gonna walk the floor
The very way i do
Your cheatin' heart
Is gonna tell on you

See the pyramids along the nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darlin' all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too, and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
(this portion, sung by background singers,
Omitted in later release)
