1.Cold War
Lyricist:Floyd Tillman
The sun goes down
And leaves me sad and blue
The iron curtain falls
On this cold, cold war with you
You won't speak
And I won't speak, it's true
We're two stubborn people
With a cold war to go through
Why, oh why does love ever come
To couples like you and me
Whose cold wars are just never done
And whose hearts can't be free
So let's do right or let's just say
That we're through
I just can't stand
Another cold war with you
Why, oh why does love ever come
To couples like you and me
Whose cold wars are just never done
And whose hearts just can't be free
So let's do right or let's just say
That we're through
'Cause I just can't stand
Another cold war with you
No, I just can't stand
Another cold, cold war with you
2.I Got The Bull By The Horns
Lyricist:Amos Boyd, Billy Jones
I got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag
Things are better than they ever have been
I missed a lot of lovin' in my lifetime
But I'm never gonna do it again
I'm never gonna do it again
I love the brunettes, the redheads
The blond haired women
I done it since I don't know when
I go down the line and love 'em all
Then I start all over again
I'd love 'em all over again
I got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag
Things are better than they ever have been
I missed a lot of lovin' in my lifetime
But I'm never gonna do it again
I'm never gonna do it again
I was a boy in school and I done pretty well
All the girls hung around me then
But I got shy I let 'em get away
Then I start all over again
I'd love 'em all over again
I got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag
Things are better than they ever have been
I missed a lot of lovin' in my lifetime
But I'm never gonna do it again
I'm never gonna do it again
I've been rompin' and stompin' all over this town
Tryin' to find the places you've been
I missed your huggin' the last go around
So I think I'll go around again
Oh, let's go round again
I got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag
Things are better than they ever have been
I missed a lot of lovin' in my lifetime
But I'm never gonna do it again
I'm never gonna do it again
3.Squaws Along The Yukon
Lyricist:Lillian Z Smith
A salmon-colored girl, she sets my heart a whirl
She lives up the Yukon far away
Where the Northern Lights will shine, she rubs her nose to mine
She cuddles close and I can hear her say
Ooga-ooga mooska, which means that I love you
If you'll be my baby, I'll ooga-ooga mooska you
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee
Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
She makes her underwear from a hide of a Grizzly bear
She bathes in ice cold water everyday
Her skin, I love to touch but I just can't touch it much
Because her fur lined Parkas' in the way
Ooga-ooga mooska, which means that I love you
If you'll be my baby, I'll ooga-ooga mooska you
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee
Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
I'm gonna pick one now
She aims the Air Corps down, Sourdoughs hang around
Chechakos try and date her night and day
With a landing gear so fine and a fuselage divine
And a smile that you can see forth, miles away
Ooga-ooga mooska, which means that I love you
If you'll be my baby, I'll ooga-ooga mooska you
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee
Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
Carry me back to old Alaska
Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
4.Loose Talk
Lyricist:Freddie Hart, Ann Lucas
So long we've been married, life's burdens we carried
Though faith kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we make up, someone seems to break up
Oh darlin', what else can we do?
We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
While I go out walkin', there's lots of loose talkin'
They say we're unhappy and we'll drift apart
But darlin', it's not true because I still love you
And I do with all of my heart
We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
They say you are leavin' that you are deceivin'
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them they're wrong
And loose talk will do harm and hope that the truth they will
see
We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
5.I Don't Believe I'll Fall In Love Today
Lyricist:Harlan Howard
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
For if I did I know I wouldn't stay
You come between us like you always do
Somehow she'd never measure up to you
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
There's another in my heart and on my mind
Then I awake and hear my poor heart say
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Old memories of you stand in the way
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy missing you
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I'll awake and hear my poor heart say
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
6.Trouble In Mind
Lyricist:Richard Jones
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my back door someday
I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
Let that 2:19 train
Pacify my mind
Well, my good man has quit me
And it sure does grieve my mind
Sometimes I feel like livin'
Sometimes I fell like dyin'
Trouble in mind, I'm so blue
I have almost lost my mind
Now if you see me laughin'
I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna bring my rockin' chair
Now if the blues don't get me
I'm gonna rock on away from here, oh yeah
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my back door someday
Trouble in mind and I'm blue
7.Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor
Lyricist:Tex Atchison, Scotty Harell, Eddy Hazelwood
The fiddles are squeekin', the guitars are speakin'
The piano plays a jelly-roll
The man on the drums is far from dumb
And the bass man he plays from his soul
The tables are quakin' and your nerves are shakin'
But you keep on beggin' for more
You keep havin' your fun, you lucky son of a gun
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
You keep havin' your fun, you lucky son of a gun
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
There's a waitress handy and she don't sell candy
And she don't sell soda pop
And there's a fat bartender who's there to serve you
If you really wanna blow your top
If you got no money, then there's a little honey
She's a gal that you adore
So keep havin' your fun, you lucky son of a gun
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
You keep havin' your fun, you lucky son of a gun
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
Your payday's Saturday you're broke on Sunday
On Monday you're feelin' sore
You got two black eyes that you picked up
From a little guy the night before
So you swear off a drinkin' but when you get to thinkin'
'Bout the good times you had, oh Lord
You keep havin' your fun you lucky son of a gun
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
You keep havin' your fun, you lucky son of a gun
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
You keep havin' your fun, you lucky son of a gun
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
8.There She Goes
Lyricist:D Haddock, E Miller, W Stevenson
There she goes, she's walkin' away
Each step she takes, brings the heartaches my way
He won her heart, I lost her some way
There she goes, she's walkin' away
If I hadn't cheated, if I hadn't lied
I'd be the one walkin' by her side
I love her still and I guess that it shows
She's walkin' away, there she goes
If I hadn't cheated, if I hadn't lied
I'd be the one walkin' by her side
I love her still, I guess that it shows
She's walkin' away, there she goes
9.The Keys In The Mail Box
Lyricist:Harlan Howard
Oh, jealous me and careless you
The odds were just too great
I couldn't stand those lonely nights
You made me sit and wait
I'd thought I'd seen the last of you
When you walked out of sight
But instead I see you in my dreams at night
So the key's in the mailbox, come on in
I'm sitting here, wishin' dear, I had your love again
And I won't even ask you where you've been
The keys in the mailbox, come on in
I said, 'I'd rather sbe alone
Than share your company'
And I said, 'Don't come around at all
If you want more than me'
But sitting here alone
I can't deny the flame that burns
I'd gladly take you back on any terms
And the key's in the mailbox, come on in
I'm sitting here, wishin' dear, I had your love again
And I won't even ask you where you've been
The keys in the mailbox, come on in
I said, 'The keys in the mailbox, come on in'
10.I Love You So Much It Hurts
Lyricist:Floyd Tillman
I love you so much that it hurts me
Darling, that's why I'm so blue
I'm so afraid to go to bed at night
Afraid of losing you
I love you so much that it hurts me
And there's nothing I can do
I want to hold you, my dear, forever and ever
I love you so much it hurts me so
I love you so much that it hurts me
And there's nothing I can do
I want to hold you, my dear, forever and ever
I love you so much it hurts me so
I love you so much it hurts me so
