At The Rockhouse

Roy Orbison At The Rockhouse Lyrics
1.Devil Doll

(orbison)

Devil doll..........devil doll
We went steady in the fall,
We broke up in the spring
Your young lovin blinds,
And you gave me back my ring
Well i see now what my friends saw then,
That you're just not the one
To love someone true
The way i love you,
Oh devil doll

Now i'm not the first one
And i won't be the last,
You'll make my heart
Just another heart you've broken in the past
Don't play a game with another guy,
Don't make me feel so blue,
I'm a guy that's true and i love you
Oh devil doll

Now i'm not the first one
Don't let me be the last,
Don't make my heart
Just another heart you've broken in the past,
Don't play a game with another guy,
Don't make me feel so blue,
I'm a guy that's true and i love you
Oh devil doll (devil doll)


2.I Never Knew

(m whitman)

I never knew how much i'd miss your touch till you said good bye
I never knew you'd hurt me too, till you made me cry
It never seemed you ever dreamed of hurting me this way
You said we're through what could i do i never knew
(never knew)
You left and you went away after saying never ever let me go oh

Now it's over and you're gone and i'm alone to cry
Oh yes it's true how i love you i never knew

You left and you went away after saying never ever let me go oh

Now it's over and you're gone and i'm alone to cry
Oh yes it's true how i love you i never knew

You left and you went away after saying never ever let me go oh

Now it's over and you're gone and i'm alone to cry
Oh yes it's true how i love you i never knew
(i never never knew)


3.It's Too Late

Chuck willis

It's too late, she's gone
It's too late, my baby's gone
Wish i had told her she was my only one
But it's too late, she's gone

It's a weak man that cries
So i guess i'd better dry my eyes
Guess i will miss her more than anyone
But it's too late she's gone

She's gone yeah she's gone
She's gone my baby's gone
She's gone yeah she's gone
Where can my baby be?

I wonder does she know
When she left me it hurt me so
I need your lovin
Please don't make me wait
And tell me it's not too late


4.Mean Little Mama

(roy orbison)
Roy orbison (sun, 1957)

Well why do you treat me so mean
You're the meanest thing i've ever seen
You won't let a-me hold you tight
You won't let a-me love you right
But you know i love you
So why do you do me like you do
Say maybe liffle baby, i'm nervous as a bug
You got me crazy little baby, you know you tear me up
You're a mean little mama, ah-ah
Yeah a mean little mama, ah-ah
Well i'm down on my knees for you
Well i'm beggin' and a-pleadin'
Oh please-please love me too

Roy orbison (sun 251, 1956)

Blue light, big crowd
Jukebox plays loud
No fear, no care
Everybody's rockin' everywhere
Rockhouse, rockhouse, rockhouse
We're goin' to the rockhouse
Well rock it in the mornin'
Rock it in daylight
Rockin' through the evening
And i won't be home at night
Rockhouse, we're goin' to the rockhouse
Rock-a-rockhouse

Heartache, you lose
No trouble, no booze
Come one, come all
Well rock it up and have a ball
Rockhouse, rockhouse, rockhouse
We're goin' to the rockhouse

11.Tryin To Get To You

(mcoy/singleton)

Well, i've been travelin over mountains,
Now even through the valleys too,
Well i've been travelin night and day
Runnin all the way
Baby tryin to get to you

Well since i read your lovin letter
Where you said you love me true
Well i been travelin night and day
Runnin all the way
Baby tryin to get to you

Well now theres nothin that could hold me
Or to keep me way from you ooooh
Since your lovin letter told me
Ah that you really love me true oooooh
I just had to reach you baby
Back of all that i've been through

I'll keep travelin night and day
Runnin all the way baby
Tryin to get to you
Well if i had to do it over,
Well thats exactly what i'd do,

I'd keep travelin night and day
Runnin all the way baby
Tryin to get to you

Well since i read your lovin letter
Well my heart began to sing
There are many miles between us
Ah but they didn't mean a thing

Lord's above he knows i love you
Well it was he who brought me through,
When my way was black as night
He'd still shine bright as light
When i was tryin to get to you


12.You're Gonna Cry

(orbison)
Roy orbison (sun, recording date unknown)

You wink your eye at every guy
Don't you know you'rere gonna cry
You say hello to every joe
You're gonna know, i told you so
You're everybody's baby, everybody's knockin' on your door
But then one day, they're gonna say
That you're nobody's baby no more
Ah-ah, you'll cry when they say bye-bye
Ah-ah, you're gonna cry
Then dry your eyes, and quit your cryin'
And be nobody's baby but mine


13.You're My Baby

(johnny cash)
Roy orbison (sun 251, 1956)

I love that hair, long an' black
Hangin' down to the middle of your back
Don't cut it off whatever you do
I need it to run my fingers through
'cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby
Got me a dollar that i saved
Saved it up for a rainy day
Everybody's callin' for bills that's due
But they don't catch me, i'll spend it on you
'cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby

Got me a guitar, got a six strings
And a picker to make 'em ring
Every string's gotta know what to do
'cause i'm gonna use 'em to serenade you
'cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby

Well i had me a gal, she said she's mine
But she run around on me all the time
Now she's gone an' i'm glad we're through
'cause i-i'm plum-flipped over you
'cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby

Oh, baby-baby, yeah you're my baby
Well i don't mean maybe
You drive me crazy
I love you baby, you're my babydoll
