Big O Country

Roy Orbison Big O Country Lyrics
1.A Mansion On The Hill

Hank williams

Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and oh, how i feel
As i sit here alone in your cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill

Do you remember when we parted?
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years. love
To give you a heart true and real
Cos i know you are living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill

The light shines bright from your window
The trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill


2.Hey Good Lookin'

Hank williams

Hey good lookin' what you got cookin'?
How's about cookin' something up with me?

Hey good lookin' what you got cookin'?
How's about cookin' something up with me?
I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about keeping steady company

I'm gonna throw my name book over the fence
Buy myself one for five or ten cents
Keep it till it's covered with age
Cos i'm writing your name on every page

Hey good lookin' what you got cookin'?
How's about cookin' something up with me?
Hey good lookin' what you got cookin'?
How's about cookin' something up with me?

Hey good lookin' what you got cookin'?
How's about cookin' something up with me?
Hey sweet baby, don't you think maybe
We could find a brand new recipe?

I've got a hopped up ford and a ten dollar bill
I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancing's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me

Hey good lookin', hey good lookin'
Hey good lookin', hey good lookin'
Hey good lookin'....


3.I Can't Help It(If I'm Still In Love With You)

words:hank williams
music:hank williams

Today i passed you on the street
And my heart was at your feet
I can't help it if i'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if i'm still in love with you

A memory from the past came slowly stealing
As i braced your arm and walked so close to you (yeah)
Oh heaven only knows how much i miss you
I can't help it if i'm still in love with you
I can't help it if i'm still in love with you


4.I Can't Stop Loving You

i can't stop loving you
By don gibson
Those happy hours that we once knew,
Though long ago, still make me blue.
They say that time heals a broken heart.
But time has stood still since we've been apart.
I can't stop loving you
So i've made up my mind
To live in memory
Of old lone-some times.
I can't stop wanting you
It's use-less to say.
So i'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday.
Those happy hours that we once knew,
Though long ago, still make me blue.
They say that time heals a broken heart.
But time has stood still since we've been apart.
I can't stop loving you,
There's no use to try.
Pretend ther's some one new;
I can't live a lie.
I can't stop wanting you
The way that i do.
Ther's only been one love for me,
That one love is you.


5.I Heard You Crying In Your Sleep


6.I'd Be A Legend In My Time

Don gibson

If heartaches brought fame
In loves crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time

If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time

But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain

If lonliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time

If lonliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time


7.I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hank williams

Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
And i'm so lonesome i could cry

Did you ever see a night so long
When time goes crawlin' by?
The moon just went behind a cloud
And i'm so lonesome i could cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
And i'm so lonesome i could cry

The silence of a fallin' star
Lights up a purple sky
And as i wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome i could cry

Yeah i-i could cry-eye-eye
I could cry-eye, eye-eye-eye, i-i could cry-eye
I could cry-eye, oh-oh-oh-oh
I-i could cry, i could cry


8.Jambalaya

Music:hank williams
lyrics:hank williams

Goodbye, joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh.
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fil? gumbo
'cause tonight i'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, fontaineaux, the place is buzzin',
Kinfolk come to see yvonne by the dozen.
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fil?gumbo
'cause tonight i'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And i'll catch all the fish in the bayou.
Swap my mon to buy yvonne what she need-o.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fil?gumbo
'cause tonight i'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.


9.Kaw-liga

Hank williams

Kaw-liga was a wooden indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

He always wore his sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine

Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-liga,that poor old wooden head

Kaw-liga was a lonely indian, never went nowhere
His heart was set on the indian maid with the coal black hair
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-liga,that poor old wooden head

Then one day a wealthy customer bought the indian maid
And took her oh so far away, but old kaw-liga stayed
Kaw-liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree

Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-liga,that poor old wooden head

Kaw-liga, kaw-liga kaw-liga....


10.There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight

Writer:hank williams, sr.


I'll believe that you still love me
When you wear your veil of white
But you think that you're above me
So there'll be no teardrops tonight.

Shame, oh shame - for what you're doin'
Other arms will hold you tight
You don't care whose life you ruin
But there'll be no teardrops tonight.


11.Too Soon To Know

Don gibson

It's too soon to know if i can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know

Time passes slow will i ever know
If i can forget her and not let it show
But it's too soon to know

News travels fast when a love affair ends
People keep asking what happened to them

But it's too soon to know it i can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know


12.You Win Again

Hank williams

The news is out all over the town,
That you,ve been seen a-runnin' round,
I know that i should leave, but then,
I just can't go- you win again.
This heart of mine could never see,
What everybody knew but me,
Just trustin' you was my great sin,
What can i do? you win again.

I'm sorry for your victim now,
&cause soon his head, like mine, will bow,
He'll give his heart, but all in vain,
And someday say, you win again§.
You have no heart, you have no shame,
You take true love and give the blame,
I guess that i should not complain,
I love you still- you win again.


13.Your Cheatin' Heart

Elvis presley

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're gonna walk that 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 that floor the way i do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you


14.Your Cold Cold Heart
