The Judds Live Studio Sessions Lyrics
1.Cow Cow Boogie

Out on the plains down near santa fe
I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day
And as he jogged along i heard him singin'
The most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

Now get along, get hip little doggies
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggies
He trucked 'em on down that old fairway
Singin' his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

(chorus)

Now singin' his cowboy songs
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a dixie touch
He was raised on local ways
He's what you call a swingin' half breed
Singin' his cow cow booogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

(repeat chorus)


2.Give A Little Love

You can buy a diamond ring
And slip it on my hand
Put me on a big ol' plane
And fly me to a foreign land
Show me rows of fancy clothes
Saying, 'honey you can take your pick!'
Well, that would be mighty kind
But it ain't gonna do the trick

(chorus)

Give a little love
A squeeze and a little kiss
Give a little hug
Mmm, i want some more of this
Take a little time
Yeah, make a little fuss
That's what a woman wants
So give a little love

Get this, you can be some big hunk
Handsome, dark and tall
Talk to me in foreign tongues
Or with a southern drawl
Or be a man from old siam
Wear a pointed hat
I don't care how you look
'cause that ain't where it's at

(repeat chorus)

Well, there are men who'll turn your head
And knock you off of your feet
Sweet talk and big blue eyes
Make a poor heart skip a beat
Drive you wild with a smile
And then they'll treat you cruel
Well, i ain't gonna fall for that
'cause mama didn't raise no fool

(repeat chorus)


3.Love Is Alive

Love ain't a candle
It doesn't burn for one night
And need the dark to shine
Love is alive

And love ain't just a word
In every dictionary
With no where defined
Love is a man and he's mine

(chorus)

Love is alive
And at our breakfast table
Everyday of the week
Love is alive
And it grows everyday and night
Even in our sleep
Love is alive
And it's made a happy woman out of me
Oh, love is alive
And here by me

Love ain't just a mood
A distant far away dream
That needs the night to rise
Love is alive
And love ain't just a song
Sweet words of music
To go dancin' by
Love is a man and he's mine

(repeat chorus)

Love is alive, here by me

(repeat and fade)


4.My Baby's Gone

I woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine
I looked everywhere to try to find that man of mine
I just found an ice cold pillow layin' by my side
Well, the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

I looked out the window and i could not help but cry
He left me all alone and never said goodbye
He even took that golden sunlight from the sky
Well, the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Sit here and wonder why he left me
I just try to think what i've done wrong
Stay in the darkness of this lonely room
Well, the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine
I looked everywhere to try to find that man of mine
I just found an ice cold pillow layin' by my side
Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Ain't no moonlight
Ain't no starlight
Ain't no sunlight
My baby's gone

(repeat and fade)


5.River Roll On

River roll on
Wish i could be like you
No looking back
And no heart that breaks in two
You'll never now
What a goodbye can do
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on

River roll on
Free as the winds that blow
Feelin' no pain
We just roll'em with the flow
No tears to cry
No songs to make you blue
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on

Oh, i never thought that
I could ever feel so all alone
But i'm learnin'
The world keeps on a turnin'
Even though he's gone

River roll on
Keep rollin' endlesslyv down to the arms
Of the ever waiting sea
I wish that i had someone waitin' too
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on

I wish that i had someone waitin' too
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on
River roll on
River roll on
River roll on


6.Rockin' With The Rhythm Of The Rain

Sittin on the porch swing
Listenin to the light rain
Beatin' on the tin roof
Baby, just me and you
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

Slide on over
Baby hold me closer
Movin' to and fro
Just swayin' like a slow freight train
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

So let the breeze keep blowin'
(rockin with the rhythm of the rain)
(night birds a singin' the crickets a callin')
Oh, my heart will never be the same
Keep the sweet feelin' flowin'
(whisper in my ear baby)
(oh, feels so fine)
(nights like this come once in a lifetime)
Me and my baby rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

Oh baby hold me tight
Say you love me
That's all i wanna hear tonight

Sittin on the porch swing
Listenin to the light rain
Beatin' on the tin roof
Baby, just me and you
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

Slide on over
Baby hold me closer
Movin' to and fro just swayin' like a slow freight train
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

(repeat chorus)

Me and my baby rockin with the rhythm of the rain


7.Why Not Me

You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?
Why not me?
Well, you've finally come down to your old hometown
Your kentucky girl's been waiting patiently
Why not me?

(chorus)

Why not me on a rainy day?
Why not me to love your cares away?
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold?
Why not me when you're growin' old?
Why not me?

You've been searchin' from here to singapore
Ain't it time that you notice the girl next door, baby
Why not me?
You had to see if the world was round
It's time that you learned how good settlin' down could be
Why not me?

(repeat chorus)

You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?

(repeat and fade)

Baby, why not me?


8.Working In The Coal Mine

Workin' in the coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down

Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, i'm so tired
How long can this go on

(repeat chorus)

'cause i make a little money
Haulin' coal by the ton
When saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for havin' fun

(repeat chorus)

Lord i'm so tired
How long can this go on

(repeat chorus)

Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, i'm so tired
How long can this go on

(repeat chorus)
