1.Footprints In The Snow

Some folks like the summertime when they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow green it's fun there's no doubt
But give me the wintertime when snow falls all around
For i found her when the snow was on the ground

Well i traced them footprints in the snow
I traced the footprints in the snow
I can't forget the day my darling lost her way
And i found her when the snow was on the ground

Well i dropped in to see her there was a big round moon
Her mother said she just stepped out be returnin' soon
I found her little footprints and i traced them thru the snow
I found her when the snow was on the ground

Well i traced them footprints in the snow
I traced the footprints in the snow
I can't forget the day my darling lost her way
And i found her when the snow was on the ground

Now she's up in heaven she's with an angel band
I know i gonna meet her in that promised land
But every time the snow falls it brings back memories
For i found her when the snow was on the ground


2.Every Which-a-way

Every which-a-way i go and every which-a-way i turn i seem to be
Looking for a love i never never find, fighting back pain and
misery,

One day my love run away now everything i touch just seems to
turn
To more heartache and misery, making my poor heart burn, burn

I found the thrill of love
Then felt the chill of love
Funny i'm still in love
Even though she let me down
And then gave me the run-around

Every which-a-way i go and every which-a-way i turn i seem to be
Looking for a love i never never find, fighting back pain and
misery,

I found the thrill of love
Then felt the chill of love
Funny i'm still in love
Even though she let me down
And then gave me the run-around

Oh, every which-a-way i go and every which-a-way i turn i seem
to be
Looking for a love i never never find, fighting back pain and
misery,


3.Sorry Willie

See her dancing, see there willie,
See how reckless she lives,
She's a wild one, as everyone knows,
Why, what's wrong willie？, you're crying,
Oh what have l done？
Sorry willie, l didn't know you didn't know

L wouldn't have said all those things if l'd known
That she was your sweetheart, your sweetheart,
Your own.

Don't ask how well l know her,
L might lie l don't know,
Sorry willie, l didn't know you didn't know

(repeat 2nd verse)


4.Hey Little Star

Hey hey little star i don't know how far away you are
But tell me how does it feel to stand that close to heaven
Hey little star see the tears that i've cried here count 'em
Said she'd be here at eight it's almost eleven

See this broken heart of mine, can this broken heart of mine
Teach me how to live without her, how to forget all about her
Hey little star there you are close to heaven
Lucky you lonely me little star

See this broken heart of mine, can this broken heart of mine
Teach me how to live without her, how to forget all about her
Hey little star there you are close to heaven
Lucky you lonely me little star


5.Lock, Stock, And Teardrops

Someday i won't come runnin'
When you call
The way you hurt me
It's a wonder i'm still here at all

Someday you'll wake up
And you'll find yourself alone
Lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone

I can't go on
The way you make me feel
You make me cry
And every time expect me to forgive

Someday you'll wake up
To a cold and lonely dawn
Lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone

Oh someday i'll wake up
Find my strength to carry on
And lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone
Lock, stock and teardrops
Lock, stock and teardrops
Lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone


6.When Two Worlds Collide

Your world was so different from mine don't you see
We just couldn't be close though we tried
We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
And my world could never fit in, wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
And my world could never fit in, wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide


7.Swiss Maid

One time a long time ago
On a mountain in switzerland
Yo lo lo lo lo
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely but lonely
Yo ho ho ho

Day after day she'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay
＆cause no love came her way

One day her papa say
Someday we'll go down to the village in the valley
There you'll meet a nice young man
He'll ask for your hand
Then you'll be happy

But every day she grew unhappier
On the mountain in switzerland
Yo lo lo lo lo
Every day a little bit lonelier
Which way to turn, which way to go

And day after day she'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay
But no love came her way

Some say the maiden's dream never came true
She never got to go to the valley
If she did or not i really don't know
Wo..ho..ho ho
Did she die unhappy

I'd rather think she found her love
Wouldn't you rather think she did find love
Somewhere, someway
Yodel..lady..ay
Yodellady..ay


8.Hitch-hiker

Hitch hiker! hitch hiker!
Like a restless tiger you can't stand still
And you never will

Spoken：
Here i stand and the cars go by
Some of them honk - and some just wave hi
It seems like life and the cars both just pass me by

Hitch hiker

No special place to be going
I just go whichever way the winds blowin'
You know it's hot today
I'd kinda like to go where it's snowin'
Ahh i dunno maybe i'll just stay here
Where the green grass is growin'

Here comes another car.. i wonder
Is he slowing down
Hitch hiker

Hitch hiker! hitch hiker!
Like a restless tiger you can't stand still
And you never will

I guess boys all dream and so did i
My hands once reached to touch the sky
Is this the sky that i reached for
Just the dust of the road and nothin' more

Here comes another car
Hitch hiker

Hitch hiker! hitch hiker!
Like a restless tiger you can't stand still
And you never will

10.In The Summertime

(you don't want my love)

In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, i'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love ...
Some other time, that's what you say, when i want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
'cause you don't want my love.

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me, than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone
In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, i'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love.

Once upon a time, you used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me, but now you don't
'cause you don't want my love ...
Some other guy is takin' up all your time
Now you don't have time for me
'cause you don't want my love.

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me, than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone
In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, i'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love.
