16 Biggest Hits[With George

Tammy Wynette 16 Biggest Hits[With George Lyrics
1.Take Me

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment i heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more

Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment i saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me

There's not any mountain to rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darlin', if you would just show a sign
Of love, i could bear with all loss

Take me to siberia
And the coldest weather of the winter time
And it would be just like spring in california
As long as i knew you were mine

Yes, it would be just like spring in california
As long as i knew you were mine

Take me, take me


2.The Ceremony

(man speaks):
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together,
In the presence of god, and these witnesses,
To join this man and this woman in the bonds,
Of holy matrimony

Do you tammy, take this man, george
To be your lawfully wedded husband,
To love and to cherish until death do you part?

(t.w.) sings:
I'll take this man and by him i'll stand
I promise that we'll never part
To him, i'll be true
There'll be no one new
>from now, till death do us part

(man speaks)
And do you, george, take this woman, tammy
To be your lawfully wedded wife,
To love and to cherish, until death do you part?

(g.j.)
Yes i'll take this woman
She'll be mine forever
And i'll love her, with all of my heart

To have and to hold
My love won't grow cold
I promise, till death do us part

(both sing)
We'll take each other
>from this day forward
Together, in sickness or health

United with love
We'll face life together
If we're poor or if we have wealth

For better or worst
You'll always come first
And no one can keep us apart

Yes, we take each other
Forsaking all others
Together, till death do us part

(man speaks)
I now pronounce you, man and wife.


3.Let's Build A World Together

You say that you want me

Yes, i really want you

Well, how much do you want me?

Well, i want you as much as a child wants it's mother
Oh, that's how much i want you

And you say that you need me

Yes, i really need you
Well, how much do you need me?

I'll tell you how much can a man need a woman?
Well, that's how much i need you

Then what will you give me?

What will i give you?

Yes, what will you give me?

A garden of love that will live on forever
Oh, that's what i will give you

Then let's build a world together
One world, safe, together

And no matter what happens
I'll love you forever
And i'll give you love

And i'll give you love

Yes, i'll give you all of my love.


4.We're Gonna Hold On

(both sing)
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

(t.w.)
Life can be rough
Sometimes it's kind
A real good life
Is hard to find

But the best love
Is the one we've known
And the faith we have between us
Makes it grow

(g.j.)
Some love lives
And some love don't
We've got the kind
Of love we want

It brings us happiness
All through the day
And nothin' can ever make
It go away

(both)
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

(both)
Time will tell
If you're right or wrong
We know we're right
By holdin' on

And the future is set for you and me
Filled with love
The way we both want it to be

(both)
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold (we're gonna) on
Fades-
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old...

5.Golden Ring

(t.w.)
In a pawn shop in chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display

(g.j)
She smiles n' nods her head
As he says, 'honey that's for you,
It's not much, but it's the best
That i can do.'

Chorus-both
Golden rings (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Waiting there (waiting there) for someone to take you home
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

(t.w.)
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
(g.j.)
Tears roll down her cheeks
And happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low, 'with this ring, i thee wed.'

Chorus- both
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Shining ring (shining ring) now at last it's found a home
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

Ooo-ooo

(t.w.)
In a small two room apartment
As they fought their final round
He says, 'you won't admit it,
But i know you're leavin' town.'

(g.j.)
She says, 'one thing's for certain,
I don't love you any more.'
And throws down the ring
As she walks out the door

Chorus- both
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Cast aside (cast aside) like the love that's dead and gone
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

(both)
In a pawn shop in chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display,
Golden ring.


6.We're Not The Jet Set

By a fountain back in rome
I fell in love with you
In a small cafe in athens
You said you loved me too

(g.j)
And it was april in paris
When i first held you close to me
(t.w)
Rome, georgia
Athens, texas
And paris, tennessee

No we're not the jet set
We're the old chevrolet set
There's no riviera
In festus, missouri

And you won't find onasis
In mullinville, kansas
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old chevrolet set
But ain't we got love?

No we're not the jet set
We're the old chevrolet set
Our steak and martinis
Is draft beer with weiners

Our bach and tschaikowsky
Is haggard and husky
No we're not the jet set
We're the old chevrolet set
But ain't we got love?

No, we're not the jet set
We're the old chevrolet set
The jones and wynette set
Ain't the flamin' suzette set
Fades-
Our bach and tschaikowsky
Is haggard n'...(fades out)


7.Near You

There's just one place for me
Near you

It's like heaven to be
Near you

Times when we're apart
And i can't face my heart

Say you'll never stay
More than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent
Near you

I'd be more than content
Near you

Make my life worth while
By telling me that i'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you

Near you - near you

Make my life worth while
By telling me that i'll spend the rest of my days
Near you

Spend the rest of my days
Near you


8.We Loved It Away

All my friends told me, we'd never make it
That love to you was just a game you played
And i'll admit at times we had rough goin'
But in each other's arms we loved it away

And i've been told, my love could never hold you
To tie it down's a price you'd never pay
And i'll admit there's times when you got restless
But in each other's arms we loved it away

Step by step we walked the road together
Hand in hand love grew more everyday
When trouble came we held on to each other
And in each other's arms we loved it away

And in each other's arms we loved it away


9.God's Gonna Get 'cha(For That)

God's gonna get 'cha for that

There's no place to run and hide
For he knows where you're at

God's gonna get 'cha for that

He's a mighty devoted man
Everybody thinks, that he's a-goin' to the promised land

But the other night on a country road
While i was a-drivin' through
I caught the preacher makin' love
To sister, mary lou

God's gonna get 'cha for that, yeah

There's no place to run an' hide
For he knows where you're at

God's gonna get 'cha for that, yeah

Now oh sister bessie, she like to testify
She says, 'i'll always love the lord, someday i'm a-gonna fly
But the other night while goin' by the local liquor store
I caught oh sister bessie, flyin' out the door

God's gonna get 'cha for that
God's gonna get 'cha for that

10.Southern California

(g.j.)
You always said someday you'd go to live
(in southern california)
And me i'd stay right here in tennessee

You always talked about the better days
(in southern california)
But if you'll stay in tennessee
I promise there'll be better days with me

(t. w.)
It's not that i don't love you
But i hear the call
(from southern california)
There's something i can't find in tennessee

Silver screens and limousines
They wait for me in southern california

Though you've been so good to me
The time has come you'll have to set me free

(g.j.)
Tomorrow when you leave
You'll take my heart
(to southern california)
But just remember i'll be here
To keep your heart with me until you see

(t.w.) speaks:
Well, it's been five years
N' i guess i've cried a million tears
Lookin' out the window of this little room
Right over that flashin' neon sign that says, 'bar'
It's almost midnight,
An time to go downstairs and go to work
I wonder how he's doin' in, tennessee?

(g.j.) spoken:
Well, here i sit by the window
Of this big old lonely mansion
Lookin' out over the smokies
And on in everything i can see

Oh, i guess by now she's found
What she was lookin' for
And as i look at this old faded photograph
Of the girl that i still love
I wonder if she ever, thinks of me

(both)
But the weather's good
In southern california.


11.Two Story House

We always wanted a big two story house
Back when we lived in that little two room shack
We wanted fame and fortune
And we'd live life the way the rich folks do
We knew some how we'd make it, together me and you

With dreams and hopes of things to come
We worked and never stopped
Not much time for you and me
We had to reach the top

We bought that big two story house
And soon became the envy of the town
With all our work behind us
We'd finally settled down

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Whoa, what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And i've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

The house is filled with rare antiques
There's marble on the floor
Beauty all around us
Like we've never seen before

There's chandeliers in every room
Imported silks and satin all about
We filled the house with everything
But somehow left love out

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Oh what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And i've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house


We always wanted a big two story house
Back when we lived in that little two room shack
We wanted fame and fortune
And we'd live life the way the rich folks do
We knew some how we'd make it, together me and you

With dreams and hopes of things to come
We worked and never stopped
Not much time for you and me
We had to reach the top

We bought that big two story house
And soon became the envy of the town
With all our work behind us
We'd finally settled down

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Whoa, what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And i've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

The house is filled with rare antiques
There's marble on the floor
Beauty all around us
Like we've never seen before

There's chandeliers in every room
Imported silks and satin all about
We filled the house with everything
But somehow left love out

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Oh what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And i've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house


12.A Pair Of Old Sneakers

We're just a pair of old sneakers
Stringin' each other along
Sometimes i feel just like a heel
'cause i know in my soul, that it's wrong

We're just a pair of old sneakers
Kickin' each other around
Eight times a week, we play 'hide an' cheat'
'til we've run that game in the ground

We're just a pair of old sneakers
We know that cheatin' is wrong
We're just a pair of old sneakers
And we've been in the closet too long

We're just a pair of old sneakers
Worn out an' comin' unglued
Both wearin' rings, feelin' ashamed
Tryin' to run from the truth

We're just a pair of old sneakers
And nothin' can tear us apart
Living the lie and lord knows we've tried
To stop walking on each other's heart

We're just a pair of old sneakers
We know that cheatin' is wrong
We're just a pair of old sneakers
And we've been in the closet too long

We're just a pair of old sneakers
And we've been in the closet too long


13.Something To Brag About

(g.j.)
I've got a real important job
In a large office buildin'
Ridin' people in an elevator

I drive a '57 chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burned out valves
And a leaky radiator

I wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from j.c. penney's
Back in 1962

But i've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you

(t.w.)
I'm a short-order cook
At an all night cafe
Down on 18th avenue and 12th street

I wear a swingin' mini dress
That i made for myself
>from mama's kitchen curtains
And old bed sheets

I've got 17 pages
Of top value stamps
And one old pair of shoes

But i've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you

When you're with the fellas, i know
You start braggin' 'bout
My hour glass figure
And my big brown eyes

(g.j.)
Tell 'em
You tell your girlfriends 'bout my
Sweet, sweet lovin'
And that's one better that
Money can't buy

(both)
So let's lget married
In the not-to-distant future
We'll rent a little flat
On 29th street

You know we'll hang our washin'
On the clothes line from the window
We'll feast on corn bread, butter beans and lunch meat

We won't have a thermostat
A big long cadillac
But we'll have a love that's true

(g.j.)
Love has, somethin' to brag about
(t.w.)
Yeah and i'll have, somethin' to brag about
(both)
Yeah, somthin' to brag about in you.


14.There's Power In Our Love

I can't thank you enough
For the happiness we've shared
I've never known a day that sunshine wasn't there
I can't begin to tell you the joy you bring to me
And as long as we're together
What more could there ever be?

'cause there's power, power, power in our love
It's so strong that it controls us everyday
Yes, there's power, power, power in our love
And together we love living life this way

There is no challenge in this world
That we can't meet, today
For i've got you beside me, hand in hand all the way
And when i go to sleep tonight so satisfied, within
I know that when the morning comes, i'll be in love again

'cause there's power, power, power in our love
It's so strong that it controls us everyday
Yes, there's power, power, power in our love
And together we love living life this way

Yes, there's power, power, power in our love


15.Keep The Change

Gj sings:
It was so good when he loved you
I could tell by the sunshine on your face
I know he bought you pretty things
I know he made your world a happy place

T.w. sings:
And i remember when she loved you
And in those days you had someone to care
And through your long and lonely nights
When you needed someone, she was there

Gj sings:
Ah, but lately you're not smiling
And i don't see that sunshine like before
I know you've tried to make it work
But i don't think he loves you any more

Tw sings:
And i know she must have hurt you
'cause i've seen the tears, you try so hard to hide
But if we had each other
It might just stop this hurt we have inside

Both:
Change to me and keep the change
Gj:
And i won't do you like he did
Tw:
And i won't hurt you, like she did

Both:
Change to me and keep the change
And we'll never need another
Once we have each other

Both:
Change to me and keep the change


16.Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms


Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around this shack
'til the mail tain comes back
An' i'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

I ain't gonna work on the railroad
