Patsy Cline Showcase Lyrics
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.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)


3.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...


4.Have You Ever Been Lonely(Have You Ever Been Blue)

Written:george brown and peter derose
(as recorded by jim reeves, 11/20/61)

Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone
Just as i love you

Can't you see i'm sorry
For each mistake i've made
Can't you see i've changed, dear
Can't you see i've paid

Be a little forgiving
Take me back in your heart
How can i go on living
Now that we're apart

If you knew what i've been thru
Then you'd know why i ask you
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue

(repeat last verse)

(as recorded by patsy cline, 8/24/61)

Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone
Just as i love you

Can't you see that i'm sorry
For each mistake i made
Can't you see i've changed, dear
Can't you see that i've paid

Oh, be a little forgivin'
Take me back in your heart
How can i go on livin'
Now that we're apart

If you knew what i been thru
You would know why i ask you
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue

Be a little forgivin'
Take me back in your heart
How can i go on livin'
Now that we're apart

If you knew what i been thru
You would know why i ask you
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue


5.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

6.I Love You So Much(It Hurts)

Written:floyd tillman
(as recorded by patsy cline 8/24/61)

I love you so much, it hurts me
Darlin, that's why i'm so blue
I'm so afraid to go to bed at night
Afraid of losing you

I love you so much, it hurts me
And there's nothing i can do
I want to hold you my dear, forever and ever
I love you so much, it hurts me so

(repeat last verse)

7.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!


8.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


9.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


10.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


11.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


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
