The World Of Tammy Wynette

Tammy Wynette The World Of Tammy Wynette Lyrics
1.Walk Through This World With Me

Walk through this world with me go where I go

Share all my dreams with me I need you so
In life we search and some of us find I've looked for you a long
long time

And now that I found you new horizons I see

Come take my hand and walk through this world with me


Walk through this world with me go where I go

Share all my dreams with me I've searched for you so

And now that I found you new horizons I see

Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

Come take my hand and walk through this world with me


2.Legend Of Bonnie And Clyde

Lyricist:Jack Rhodes, George Richey

Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe
Clyde Barrow was a rounder that took her away
They both robbed and killed until both loved and died
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde

The poem that she wrote of the life that they led
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead
Some say that Clyde made her life a shame
But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game

The rampage grew wilder with each passing day
The odds growing smaller with each get away
With the end growing closer the harder they fought
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught

They drove back from town on one bright summer day
When a man they be friended stopped out in the way
With no thought of dying they pulled to the side
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde

Two years of running was ended that day
For robbing and killing they both had to pay
But we'll always remember how they lived and died
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde
(Bonnie and Clyde)
Bonnie and Clyde


3.Don't Come Home A Drinkin'

Well, you thought I'd be waitin' up
When you come home last night
You'd been out with all the boys
And you ended up half tight.

But liquor and love that just don't mix
Leave a bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town
And see what you can find.

'Cause if you want that kind of love
Well, you don't need none of mine
So, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

--- Instrumental ---

You never take me anywhere
Because you're always gone
And many a night I've laid awake
And cried dear, all alone.

And you come in a kissin' on me
It happens every time
No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town
And see what you can find.

'Cause if you want that kind of love
Well, you don't need none of mine
So, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind...


4.Where Could You Go (But To Her)

Why will a man go out and cheat what makes temptation so sweet
And it's a shame that neon lights will make a man lay out all
night
With a girl in a bar down the street

You never meant to be that man but last night you held another's
hand
Though her kisses tasted sweet that's not what made you cheat
So I'll try and explain it if I can

Where, where, where could you go
When you needed love
I wasn't there
And her two open arms offered love sweet and warm
Where could you go but to her

I'll forgive your one mistake
If you swear it's the last you'll ever make
I let those arms you need the most
Take you back and hold you close
For loving you is a habit I can't break

Where, where, where could you go
Oh, when you feel the urge to go wrong
The next time you're tempted when you glass is emptied
Where will you go you'll come home


5.I Stayed Long Enough

Lyricist:T Wynette

Accidentally in your arms
And that's all it took
Knowing how you want
And need me with just one look

To leave you now is something
You should know that I can't do
I stayed long enough
To fall in love with you

Long enough to know that
What I feel won't go away
Just lookin' won't be near
Enough after today

Everything I need is everything
I see in you
I stayed long enough
To fall in love with you

Everything I need is everything
I see in you
I stayed long enough
To fall in love with you
I stayed just long enough
To fall in love with you


6.It Is No Secret

The chimes of time ring out the news another day is through
Someone slipped and fell was that someone you
You may have long for added strenght your courage to renew
Do not be dishearteded for I bring hope to you
It is no secret what God can do what he's done for others he'll
do for you
With arms wide open he'll pardon you it is no secret what God
can do
With arms wide open he'll pardon you it is no secret what God
can do


7.I Believe

Lyricist:Ervin Drake, Irvin Graham, Jimmy Shirl, Al Stillman

I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows

I believe for every one
Who goes astray
Someone will come
To show the way
I believe, I believe

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer
Will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word

Every time I hear
A new born baby cry
I touch a leaf, I see the sky
Then I know why
I believe

Every time I hear
A new born baby cry
I touch a leaf, I see the sky
Then I know why
I believe


8.My Arms Stay Open Late

Lyricist:Jr., Dan Lomax, Claude Putman Jr.

The baby cries I could almost die from lonesome
The late shows gone and the coffee's on think I'll read some
Somewhere out there my love you share
And your thoughts are far from home

But when the lights on Broadway go off
And every honky tonk is closed up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
Come home

What you do is wrong but my love stays strong for you
I don't think I'll change a thing at all I might lose you
Though it's almost dawn and you're still not home
I'll wait here patiently

The lights to my love never go off
And the door to my heart don't close up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
My arms stay open late so you'll come home


9.There Goes My Everything

Lyricist:Dallas Frazier

I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice that's softly saying
Darling this will be goodbye for evermore

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything

As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
And the love that kept this cold heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything


10.Crying In The Chapel

(Artie Glenn)
You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I she'd were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I'm happy with the Lord.
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day.
I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind.
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord.
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way.
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way...


11.Don't Touch Me

Lyricist:Hank Cochran

Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me
That look in your eye pulls me apart
Don't open the door to Heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty
And I'm thirsty for you with all my heart
But don't love me then act as though we never kissed
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Now don't give me something that you might take way
To have you then lose you wouldn't be smart on my part
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart


12.Good

I was a waitress in a barroom no future in sight
And he was just lonely when he came there that night
Then someone played the jukebox and he asked me to dance
And when he softly held me I thought it's my chance
To be good like I want to be that's what he's saw in me
Not just a girl on the wrong side of town
Good like I used to be he brought it out in me
And that's when I promised that I'd never let him down

Now I'm back here in a barroom a waitress again
The good world I've lived in just came to an end
For temptation comes easy to a woman like me
And regardless of my chances I know that I'll never be
Good like I used to be I guess it's just not in me
With all my heart how I wish I prove
I've been good like he wanted me but good is what I'll never be
And now I know that he's gone for good


13.Cry

Lyricist:Johnny Colla, Huey Lewis

If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret, you'll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream
Oh, don't you sometimes think it's real
But it's only false emotions that you feel

If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep gettin' bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your head down and go on and cry

If your heartaches seem


14.Ode To Billie Joe

Lyricist:Bobbie Gentry

It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to
eat
And mama hollered at the back door y'all remember to wipe your
feet
And then she said I got the news this mornin' from Choctaw
Wridge

Today Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to Mama as he passed around the black eyed peas
'Well Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits
please'
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow
And mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe anyhow

Seems like nothing ever comes to no good upon Choctaw Wridge
And now Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie
Bridge
Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night

I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don't seem
right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday upon Choctaw Wridge
And now you tell me Billie Joe has jumped off the Tallahatchie
Bridge
Mama said to me child what's happened to your appetite
Well I've been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a
single bite

That nice young preacher brother Tailor dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you upon Choctaw
Wridge
She and Billie Joe was throwin' somethin' off the Tallahatchie
Bridge
One year has come and gone since we heard the news about Billie
Joe

Brother married Becky Thompson and they bought a store in Tupelo
There was virus goin' round papa caught it and he died last
spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me I spent a lot of time pickin' flowers upon Choctaw Wridge
And dropped 'em into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge


15.Honey

Lyricist:Bobby Russell

See the tree how big it's grown
But that it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad
The first day that I planted it was just a twig

Then the first snow came and I ran out
To brush the snow away, so it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited slipped
And almost hurt myself and you laughed till you cried

Yes, you were always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved you so
You surprised me with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago

And you could sure embarrass me
When you came home from working late
'Cause you would know that I'd been all alone
And cryin' over some sad and lonely late, late show

And honey, I miss you too and I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could

I wrecked the car and I was sad
And so afraid that you'd be mad but what the heck
All afternoon you stormed around
But I knew how to cool you down, I hugged your neck

You came home unexpectedly and caught me crying
Needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing, I went away

And honey, I miss you too and I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could

One day you were not at home while I was there
And all alone the angels came
Guess you thought it strange of me to live the way I did
That day it was a shame

But now your laughter just began
And even though you miss me, hon', you must go on
And when the snow fly passes overhead
And cries down on my flower bed, you know you're not alone

See the tree how big it's grown
But that it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad
The first day that I planted it was just a twig


16.Cry, Cry Again

Lyricist:L Anderson, D Land

I put my little girl to bed
With teardrops in her eyes
All day I've tried to comfort her
And louder were her cries

I left her there to say her prayers
And stepped outside the door
The prayer I heard was one I knew
I'd never heard before

Please have my mommy
Ask my daddy to come home
Sometimes I try and get my way
And mommy's so alone

She told me once that when I'm right
I never should give in
So if at first I don't succeed
I'll cry, cry again

I know our little girl is right
And we're both in the wrong
And so I've called you up tonight
To ask you please come home

I can't go on or stand for long
The way she cries today
And I can't go to sleep tonight
Because I heard her pray

Please have my mommy
Ask my daddy to come home
Sometimes I try and get my way
And mommy's so alone

She told me once that when I'm right
I never should give in
So if at first I don't succeed
I'll cry, cry again


17.It's My Way

Lyricist:Webb Pierce, Wayne Walker

I'll live every day for you and I'll breathe every breath for
you
So if I'm mean and make you blue, it's my way of loving you
If I say that you're untrue and it breaks your heart in two
I can't help the things I do, it's my way of loving you

Try to understand my love, look into my heart
Don't you know I'd want to die if we ever part
All my life I'm gonna love you so, there may be times it may not
show
That my love for you is true, it's my way of loving you

If I say that you're untrue and it breaks your heart in two
I can't help the things I do, it's my way of loving you
It's my way of loving you


18.Joey

Lyricist:Don Chapel

Outside the sun is shining, it's such a pretty day
I'm waitin' in the shadows watchin' you and Joey play
Right now I feel like dyin' 'cause I heard Joey say
'All the other kids I know have daddies everyday'

'Oh Daddy, please ask Mommy, could you come home to stay?
Me and Mommy need you, I love you anyway
All the other kids I know have daddies everyday'

Honey, I've been thinkin', our little Joey's bright
He doesn't understand our little childish grownup fights
You're just his Sunday Daddy, could you come home to stay?
'Cause all the other kids he knows have daddies everyday

'Oh Daddy, please ask Mommy, could you come home to stay?
Me and Mommy need you, I love you anyway
All the other kids I know have daddies everyday'


19.Kiss Away

Lyricist:Billy Sherrill, Glenn Sutton

Kiss away kiss away guess that's all that's left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Smile again let me smile again make this life worth live again
Please come back and kiss these tears away

Only you can change these sad and blue days
Only you can make them 'I love you' days
Kiss away kiss away still there's nothing left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away

Only you can change these sad and blue days
Only you can make them 'I love you' days
Kiss away kiss away still there's nothing left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away


20.Yesterday

Lyricist:John Lennon, Paul Mccartney

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here yo stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the girl I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why did he have to go I don't know he wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
I believe in yesterday
