Wanda Jackson Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Take Me Home

Lyricist:Vaughn Horton

I was wrong in blaming you and the fool for leaving to
If it's too late to say I'm sorry that we're through

Could you search your heart and see if there's still a place for
me?
If there is come and get me take me home

Take me home take me home
'Cause I'm homesick and I'm helpless on my won

Can't you see I'm out of place and ashamed to show my face
Please forgive me come and get me take me home

Take me home


2.One Teardrop At A Time

Lyricist:Eddie Miller, Bettye West

(One teardrop, one teardrop)
I know that I've cried a lot today
And my heart's gonna hurt the same old way
'Cause I'm losin' the love I thought was mine
The heartache's brought one teardrop at a time

One teardrop at a time, keeps telling me that
Won't be long until you'll be leaving me
When you go, I'm gonna cry one more time
I'll take back my heart one teardrop at a time

No matter how many tears I cried
That old familiar feeling stays inside
My heart for you, won't leave just in time
I'll cry you from my heart one teardrop at a time

One teardrop at a time, keeps telling me that
Won't be long until you'll be leaving me
When you go, I'm gonna cry one more time
I'll take back my heart one teardrop at a time


3.You're Right, I'm Left, He's Gone

Lyricist:Stanley Kesler, William Taylor

Well, you're right, I'm left, he's gone
You're right I'm left all alone
Well, you tried to tell me so
But how was I to know
That he was not the one for me

You told me all along
Well, you're right our love was so wrong
But now I've changed my mind
'Cause he broke the tie that bind
And I know that he, he never cared for me

Well, I thought I knew just what he'd do
But I guess I'm not so smart
You tried to tell me along
He'd only break my heart

I'm left, you're right, he's gone
You're right, I'm left all alone
Well, he's gone I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I am falling for you

If you'll forgive me now
I'll make it up somehow
So happy we will be
In a home for two or three
And I'll soon forget him now I know

For I thought I knew just what he'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
You tried to tell me all along
He'd only break my heart

Well, you're right, I'm left, he's gone
You're right, I'm left all alone
Well, he's gone I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I've fallen for you


4.You Won't Forget (About Me)

Lyricist:Wanda Jackson

Now that our love is through, you know I still love you
But now I think I see, you just weren't meant for me
You found another love, the kind that's wild and free
But I'll promise you one thing, you won't forget about me

My heart was young and foolish, so much I had to learn
A heart can't just be in love, it's gotta be loved in return
They'll only laugh and say, I guess you'll learn someday
But your heart's still wild and free, you won't forget about me

My heart was young and foolish


5.I'm Waiting Just For You

Lyricist:Glover Henry, Leigh Carolyn, Millinder Lucky

You have to leave me all by myself, dear
And I've been crying the whole night through
But I've been telling everybody
I'm waiting just for you

Your friends are trying so hard to tempt me
There's no use trying 'cause I'll be true
And darling, you don't have to worry
Nobody else will do

I know this waiting can drive me crazy
Don't mind this waiting, it's nothing new
For I'll be telling everybody
I'm waiting just for you

Maybe a long time before I see you
So we can do what we used to do
But I'll be telling everybody
I'm waiting just for you


6.Famous Last Words

Lyricist:Hank Cochran

I'll be right, I'll be wrong, I'll be weak, I'll be strong
Maybe life won't be a song but you'll always have my love
There'll be times I make you blue, do the things I shouldn't do
Promises that won't come true but you'll always have my love

We may not own this world and the stars up in the sky
But, darling, love is something that money can't buy
I may lose, I may win, be your lover, be your friend
Just remember thick or thin, you will always have my love

We may not own this world and the stars up in the sky
But, darling, love is something that money can't buy
I may lose, I may win, be your lover, be your friend
Just remember thick or thin, you will always have my love


7.Bridge Over Troubled Water

Lyricist:Paul Simon

When you're weary, feeling small, when tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all, I'm on your side, oh
When times get rough and friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down

When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes and pain is all
around
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down

Sail on man of mine, sail on by
Your time has come to shine, all the dreams are on their way
See how they shine, oh, if you need a friend, I'm sailing right
behind
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind


8.Rum & Coca-Cola

Lyricist:Morey Amsterdam, Paul Baron, Jeri Sullivan

If you ever go down Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Oh, beat it, man, beat it

Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got all the young girls goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Oh, you vex me, you vex me

From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer
Like Yankee girl, the natives swoon
When she hear der Bingo croon

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Out on Manzanella Beach
G.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Rum and Coca-Cola
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and Coca-Cola
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
