1.A Church, A Courtroom And Then Goodbye(July 20 1955)
Written：Eddie Miller And W.S.Stevenson
The first scene was the church, then the altar
Where we claimed each other, with tears of joy we cried
Our friends wished us luck there forever
As we walked from the church, side by side
The next scene was a crowded courtroom
And like strangers we sat side by side
Then i heard the judge make his decision
And no longer were we man and wife
I hate the sight of that courtroom
Where man-made laws push god's laws aside
Then the clerk wrote our story in the record
A church, a courtroom and then goodbye
We walked from that courtroom together
We shook hands and once again we cried
Then it was the end of our story
A church, a courtroom and then goodbye

2.A Poor Man's Roses(November 8 1956)
Written：Bob Hilliard And Milton Delugg
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)
3.Crazy Dreams(8 1 60)
Written：C.C.Beam／C.L.Jiles And W.S.Stevenson
I had a dream last night that i held you
And you still seemed as handsome to me
But when i awoke i found you missin'
It's just another crazy dream for me
(chorus)
Crazy dreams linger on as i face an empty dawn
With no end to it all can i see
For i've surely reached the end
Lost your love to a friend
Just another crazy dream for me
Once you were mine and we were so happy
I never thought that the end soon would be
But now that you're gone, and i'm so lonesome
It's just another crazy dream for me
(repeat chorus)
4.Dear God(12 15 58)
Lyrics：V.F.Stewart
Music：V.F.Stewart
I go to church on a sunday
The vows that i make
I break them on monday
The rest of the week
I do as i please
Then come sunday morning
I pray on my knees
(chorus)
Dear god
I know i'm not worthy
But i need you so
Please won't you hurry
And help me turn back from
The path i have trod
You'll never be sorry
Dear god
Each day we read in the paper
Of the carryin's on
Of some of our neighbors
We're sinnin', and lyin',
And forgetting the faith
Then we have the nerve
To ask is it to late
(repeat chorus)
5.Honky Tonk Merry Go Round(July 20 1955)
Written：Frank Simon And Stan Gardner
I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Makin' ever spot in town
Startin' out early, comin' home late
Ever' night with a brand new date
I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Actin' like a foolish clown
Still racin' those blues that you left with me
Wond'rin' if i'll ever be free
Chorus：
Round and around and around i go
Ridin' high and feelin' low
Round and around just like a top
Well, i'm a-gettin' dizzy, but i can't stop
I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Actin' like a foolish clown
Still racin' those blues that you left with me
Wond'rin' if i'll ever be free
Repeat chorus
Repeat last verse
Yes, i'm wonderin if i'll ever be free
6.I've Loved And Lost Again(July 8 1956Radio Transcription)
Lyrics：Eddie Miller
Music：Eddie Miller
I've loved and lost again
Oh, what a crazy world we're livin' in
True love has no chance to win
I've loved and lost again
I ask you what chance have i
When each love i meet just makes me cry
He loves awhile then says goodbye
I've loved and lost again
Chorus：
To be true to one alone
Don't seem to matter anymore
They tell you you're out of style
Unless you've had three or four

7.Just Out Of Reach(Oct.12 1962)
Lyrics：V.F.Stewart
Music：V.F.Stewart
Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on botherin' me
Chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Each night in dreams i see your face
Memories time can't erase
I awake and find you gone
I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Spoken：
That ol' lonesome feelin' all the time
I know you'll never be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
I mean vows that we just couldn't keep
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
8.Lovesick Blues(3 7 60)
Written：Irving Mills And Cliff Friend
Got a feelin' cause i'm blue, oh, lord
Since my daddy said goodbye
I don't know what i'm gonna do
All i do is sit and cry, oh, lord
That last long day he said goodbye
Oh, lord, i thought i would die
He'll do ya, he'll do me, he's got that kinda lovin'
But, lord, i love to hear him when he calls me sweet baby
What a beautiful dream
I hate to think it all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to that man, somehow
And i'm nobody's sugar-baby now
'cause i'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
Now i'm in love, i'm in love with a wonderful guy
That's what's the matter with me
Well, i'm in love, i'm in love with a wonderful guy
But he don't care about me
Well, i tried and i tried to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn't stay
But now that he is leavin', this is all i've got to say
I got a feelin' cause i'm blue, oh lord, since my daddy said
goodbye
I don't know what i'm gonna do
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to that man, somehow
And i'm nobody's sugar-baby now
'cause i'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
I've grown so used to that man, and how
And i'm nobody's sugar-baby now
'cause i'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues

9.There He Goes(8 1 60)
Written：Eddie Miller／Durwood Haddock And W.S.Stevens
There he goes, he's walkin' away
Each step he takes brings heartaches my way
She won his heart, i lost him someway
There he goes, he's walkin' away
If i hadn't cheated and i hadn't lied
I'd be the one, walkin' by his side
I love him still and i guess that it shows
He's walkin' away, there he goes
Oh, if i hadn't cheated and i hadn't lied
I'd be the one walkin' by his side
I love him still and i guess that is shows
He's walkin' away, there he goes

10.Three Cigarettes In An Ashtray(August 12 1957)
Written：Eddie Miller And W.S.Stevenson
Two cigarettes in an ashtray
My love and i, in a small caf
then a stranger came along
And everything went wrong
Now there's three cigarettes in the ashtray
I watched her take him from me
And his love is no longer my own
Now they are gone
And i sit alone
And watch one cigarette burn away

11.Today, Tomorrow, And Forever(May 27 1957)
Lyrics：Don Reid
Music：Don Reid
How warm is the love in my heart for you
As warm as the sun in the sky of blue
How long will it shine if you say you're mine
Today, tomorrow and forever
How strong was my love from the very start
How long will it last in my happy heart
How much would i cry if we'd ever part
Today, tomorrow and forever
'cause if you weren't there to share my love
Who cares if the sky should fall
For anyone can see how much you mean to me
You're my life, my love, my very all
And as long as the tides of the ocean flow
As long as the trees and the flowers grow
So long, oh my love, will i love you so
Today, tomorrow and forever
(repeat last two verses)
Today
Tomorrow
And forever

12.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
