1.Let's Have a Party

Lyricist:Jessie Mae Robinson

Some people like to rock
Some people like to roll
But movin' and a groovin'
Gonna satisfy my soul

Let's have a party
Ooh, let's have a party
Well, send it to the store, let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

I never kissed a bear
I never kissed a goon
But I can shake a chicken
In the middle of the room

Let's have a party
Ooh, let's have a party
Oh, send it to the store, let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

I never kissed a bear
I never kissed a goon
But I can shake a chicken
In the middle of the room

Let's have a party
Ooh, let's have a party
Oh, send it to the store, let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

Honky Tonky Joe
Is knockin' at the door
Bring him in and fill him up
And set him on the floor

Let's have a party
Ooh, let's have a party
Well, send it to the store, let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

The meat is on the stove
The bread's a-gettin' hot
Everybody run
They got the 'possum in the pot

Let's have a party
Ooh, let's have a party
Well, send it to the store, let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

Let's have a party tonight
Well, let's have a party tonight
We gon' have a party tonight
Well, let's have a party tonight


2.I WOULDN'T WANT YOU ANY OTHER DAY

WANDA JACKSON
Miscellaneous
I WOULDN'T WANT YOU ANY OTHER DAY
I can't put my finger on this love of ours
Life with you keeps changing ev'ry day
One minute you're all sunshine
And the next you turn to showers
But I wouldn't want you any other way

I've bee through your crazy moods so many times
More than once I've been the one who pays
But nothing really matters
Just as long as you are mine
And I wouldn't want you any other way

When you touch me when I'm sleepin'
I wake up at heaven's door
And I kiss you on the pillow where you lay
With your arms around me tightly
I could ask for nothin' more
And I wouldn't want you any other way

Ray Griff


3.You Created Me

Stand back now take a good look tell me do you like what you see
I'm gettin' better even close friends know the change in me
It didn't take long cause I learned fast tell me is this the way
you want me to be
It's too late to turn back you must accept me for you created me
Where you go I tag along I followed you from right to wrong
You wanted me to live your life and you only live at night
Creator look me over tell me am I more than you expect me to be
You made me over you must accept me for you created me
You made me over you must accept me for you created me


4.Sympathy

Writers Bobby Bare, Charlie Williams

Oh well, I look in your eyes
And what do I see
Well, I don't see love
All I see is sympathy
Before she came along
You belonged to me
She stole your heart away
But yet you stayed in sympathy
If you can't say you love me
Then don't say you're sorry
Please don't you pitty me
If I can't have your lovin'
I'd rather have nothing
I don't want sympathy
Do you think I'm blind?
Why any fool can see
That a-you don't care
And all that's there there is a-yeah honey, sympathy
If you can't say you love me
Then don't say you're sorry
Please don't you pitty me
If I can't have your lovin'
I'd rather have nothing
I don't want sympathy
Do you think I'm blind?
Why any fool can see
That a-you don't care
And all that's there there is a-yeah, sympathy
And it's all for me
I don't want sympathy


5.Snowbird

Writer Gene MacLellan

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for it's coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't
win
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take it with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
Spread your tiny wings...
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you


6.Midnight

Lyricist:Chester Atkins, Boudleaux Bryant

Midnight, I've spent another lonely day thinking of you
Midnight, tomorrow is on its way empty and blue
I'm so lonely, so lonely at midnight for you

Midnight, oh, what a lonely time to weep, I ought to know
Midnight, I should have been fast asleep hours ago
Still I'm crying, I'm crying, 'cause I miss you so

Midnight, I've spent another lonely day thinking of you
Midnight, tomorrow is on its way empty and blue
I'm so lonely, so lonely at midnight for you


7.You Don't Know Baby

Lyricist:Walter Spriggs

You don't know how much I love you
You don't know how much I care
You don't know how much I need you
Without you life I can't bear

You don't know, baby, you don't know, baby
You don't know baby, no you don't
You don't know baby, no you don't
No you can't know how feel

The flame that you left is still burning
Burning down deep in my soul
When I think of all of your loving and kissing
It's you I wanna hold

You don't know baby

All of my friends say
I'm crazy for actin' the way that I do
But I just can't help myself
'Cause I'm still in love with you

And you don't know baby

No you don't, no you can't know how feel


8.Honey Bop

Lyricist:Mae Axton, Tommy Durden, Glenn Reeves

Well, once they had a dance, they called the bunny hop
Now the cats are in a trance, all they wanna do is bop

So bop, oh, honey bop, well bop, a honey bop
Oh bop, honey bop, well, don't stop, a honey bop

When the band begins to rock and it's rockin' to your blues
If you think you blow your top, well, put on your rockin' shoes

'Cause I can bop, honey bop, well bop, a honey bop
Let's bop, honey bop, don't stop, a honey bop

When the night is up and gone, but you still wanna go
Though you see the light of dawn, baby, tell the band to blow

And bop, honey bop, well bop, a honey bop
Oh, well bop, honey bop, don't stop, a honey bop

Well, the waltz is for a square and the rumba is too old
Baby, we're just rockin', let it satisfy your soul

So bop, well, honey bop, well bop, a honey bop
Oh bop, honey bop, don't stop, a honey bop

Well, now you've heard the dance, they call the bunny hop
But the cats are in a trance, all they wanna do is bop

So bop, well, honey bop, well bop, a honey bop
Well bop, honey bop, don't stop, a-bop-bop-bop


9.Let Me Talk To You

Lyricist:Don Stewart Davis, Danny Dill

Just one more dance, just one more chance
So I can talk to you
Don't run around, don't turn me down
And I will try to prove
I would do anything you want me to

Just one more dance, just one more chance
Let me talk to you

Don't go too far with that crowd at the bar
That's not the way to win, please fall in love again
Give me your heart
So I can start to build our life anew

Just one more dance, just one more chance
Let me talk to you

Don't go too far with that crowd at the bar
That's not the way to win please fall in love again
Give me your heart
So I can start to build our life anew

Just one more dance, just one more chance
Let me talk to you


10.I Don't Know How To Tell Him

Lyricist:Glenn W Martin

I can tell him his toy gun won't kill Indians
And the towel around his neck don't make him strong
I can tell him there's no Easter bunny
But I don't know how to tell him that you're gone

He still looks for you every morning
He's cried every night we've been alone
I can tell him there's no real Santa
But I don't know how to tell him that you're gone

I can tell him his broomstick's not a pony
And wearin' daddy's boots don't make him grown
I can tell him there's no to ferry
But I don't know how to tell him that you're gone

'Cause he still looks for you every morning
He's cried every night we've been alone
I can tell him there's no real Santa
I don't know how to tell him that you're gone


11.Nobody's Darlin' But Mine

Lyricist:Jimmie Davis

Come, sit by my side, little darlin'
Come, lay your cool hand on my brow
And promise me that you will never be
Nobody's darlin' but mine

You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
You're as pure as the dew on the rose
I'd rather be somebody's darlin'
Than a poor girl that nobody knows

Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Love be honest be faithful and kind
And promise me that you will never be
Nobody's darlin' but mine

My mother has gone up to heaven
My daddy is with her, I know
And sister has gone to meet mother
But where I'll go nobody knows

Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Love be honest be faithful and kind
And promise me that you will never be
Nobody's darlin' but mine


12.Today I Started Loving You Again

Lyricist:M Haggard, B Owens

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And then today I started loving you again
Yes, today I started loving you again


13.I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Lyricist:Hank Sr Williams

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die?
That means he's lost the will to live

I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry


14.Memory Maker

Lyricist:Dave Burgess, Janet Thomson

You're just a memory maker
I'm the giver and you're the taker
I never could resist your charms
You're just a memory maker
An old heart breaker
But memories can't fill my arms

You took my kisses one by one
And then wipe them off when you were done
You took the love I gave to you
Then walked away when you were through

You're just a memory maker

I gave me heart without a fear
Believing that you were sincere
The way you looked into my eyes
How could I know you told me lies

You're just a memory maker


15.Worried Mind

Lyricist:Ted Daffan, Jimmie Davis

You've promised me love that would never die
That promise you've made was only a lie
Now after you've gone all alone
I'll pine for all that I've got is a worried mind

When I was down, you've just left me there
I needed you so, oh but you didn't care
You've found a new love and a home so fine
But all that I've got is a worried mind

(You've promised me love)
You've promised me love
(That would never die)
That would never die
(That promise you've made)
That promise you've made

(Was only a lie)
Was only a lie
Now after you've gone all alone
I'll pine for all that I've got is a worried mind
(Is a worried mind)


16.Fever

Lyricist:Eddie J Cooley, John Davenport

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime moon
Lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever
That is somethin' you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, 'Daddy, oh, don't you dare?'

He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever I'm his Mrs
Daddy, won't you treat him right

Now you listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Bring it Fahrenheit or centigrade

We give you fever when you kiss 'em
Fever when you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle what a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn what a lovely way to burn


17.I'd Fight The World

Lyricist:Joe Allison, Hank Cochran

I don't care what anybody thinks of me
My pride is gone and here I am on bended knees
I want you and I need you, that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go

I'd gladly beg, I'd steal, I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go

I'd gladly beg, I'd steal, I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go


18.I Cried Again

Lyricist:Autry Inman

Teardrops fell the night you said
I love you, dear and you were wed
I watched you while you held her hand
Sand I bowed my head and cried again

I cried again when I reached home
Then stared your picture all alone
I've thought of things that might have been
And I bowed my head and cried again

I took your letters from the shelf
And read aloud just to myself
But just before I reached the end
And I bowed my head and cried again

I've thought of nights so long ago
And all the love I wanted so
And then the fate had took a hand
And I bowed my head and cried again


19.What Am I Living For

Lyricist:Art Harris, Fred Jay

What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
Oh, oh nobody else nobody else will do

What am I longing for each lonely night
To feel your lips to mine to hold you tight
You'll be the only love my whole life through
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do

I want you close to me that's all I know
I want you all the time
'Cause darling, I love you so

What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you baby
Nobody else, nobody else will do

What am I living for if not for you
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do


20.Since I Met You Baby

Lyricist:Ivory Joe Hunter

Since I met you baby my whole life has changed
Since I met you baby my whole life has changed
And everybody tells me that I am not the same

I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
'Cause since I met you baby all I need is you

Since I met you baby and you're my man
Since I met you baby and you're my man
I'm gonna try to please you in every way I can


21.I'd Be Ashamed

Lyricist:Wanda L Jackson

Well I picked up the phone to give you a call
Let it ring but no one answered at all
I guess you were out with someone new
Did you forget I had a date with you
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed

You're a little heartbreaker and you seem proud of it
Breaking hearts right left and you seem to just love it
Now don't you know it's not the same to do
Don't you know it might happen to you
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed

Well I'd be ashamed for making me cry
I'd be ashamed for telling all the lies
But don't you know you can't play that game
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed

You don't love me at all, you don't care if you show it
But I'm so much in love I don't care who knows it
You don't love me and it's plain to see
You're just a making a fool of me
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed

Someday true love may come your way
But by then it might be a little too late
But they might leave you by yourself
They might leave you settin' on the shelf
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed

Well I'd be ashamed
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed


22.I'd Do It All Over Again

Lyricist:Ron Mason

You turned down the love that I tried to give you
Tore out my heart and my will to live
I won't deny I still feel the same
If I had it all to do over I'd do it all over again

I'm a fool to feel you the way I do
'Cause only a fool would keep on loving you
So I'll take the hurt and I'll take the pain
If I had it all to do over I'd do it all over again

I can't erase these memories of you
I can't forget the sweet kiss that I knew
Oh, where is my pride, where is my shame?
If I had it all to do over I'd do it all over again
If I had it all to do over I'd do it all over again


23.Woman Lives For Love

Lyricist:George Richey, Glenn Sutton, Norris Wilson

I don't mind waiting up for you late hours
And I always try to smile when you come in
I don't mind getting up so early
Get the kids to school and you off to work again

Sometimes a woman's life is not so easy
And the man at times is hard to understand
And I can tell sometimes, you think, you failed me
But in your way I know, you do the best you can

So I'll do anything for you, anything you want me to
And never once will you hear me complain
For my day is made at night when you kiss and hold me tight
And say you love me 'cause a woman lives for love

Yes, I'll do anything for you, anything you want me to
And never once will you hear me complain
For my day is made at night when you kiss and hold me tight
And say you love me 'cause a woman lives for love

Yes, I'll do anything for you, anything you want me to
And never once will you hear me complain
For my day is made at night when you kiss and hold me tight
And say you love me 'cause a woman lives for love


24.Everything Is Beautiful

Lyricist:Ray Stevens

Everything is beautiful in it's own way
Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter's day
And everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find a way

There is none so bling as he who will not see
We must not close our minds, gotta let our thoughts be free
Every hour that passes by, you know this world gets a little bit
older
It's time to realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the
beholder

And everything is beautiful

We shouldn't care about the length of his hair or the color of
his skin
Don't worry about what shows from without but the love that
lives within
We're gonna get it all together now, yeah, everything will work
out fine
Just take the time to look on the good side my friend
And straighten it out in your mind

Everything is beautiful
Everything is beautiful


25.Wonder Could I Live There Anymore

Lyricist:Bill Rice

Have you ever been awaken by the crowing of a rooster
While the night do still heavy on the ground
And the voice of Uncle Ben seems to break the morning silence
Bringing light to windows all around

It's time to rise and shine start another hard work day
Get the cows in and start the milking chores
It's nice to think about it maybe even visit
But I wonder could I live there anymore

Something 'bout the smell of cornbread cooking on a wood stove
Seems to bring a picture to my mind
Of a little three room house with mama in the kitchen
But she can't stop to talk ain't got the time

She's a fixing dad his supper, he's a working over time
Trying to pay our bill at the grocery store
It's nice to think about it maybe even visit
But I wonder could I live there anymore

As I think about my childhood and of my old hometown
I don't really miss 'em like before
It's nice to think about it maybe even visit
But I wonder could I live there anymore


26.Riot in Cell Block # 9

Lyricist:Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller

On July the second
Nineteen and fifty-three
I was serving time in Tahatchopee
Four o'clock in the morning

I was sleepin' in my cell
I heard a whistle blow
And I heard somebody yell

'There's a riot goin' on'
(There's a riot goin' on)
'There's a riot goin' on'
(There's a riot goin' on)'

'There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine'

The trouble all started up in cell block number four
It spread like fire across the prison floor
Warden came in with a big tommy gun
Bang bang bang, tryin' to stop our fun

But there's a riot goin' on
(There's a riot goin' on)
There's a riot goin' on
(There's a riot goin' on)

There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine

The warden said, 'Come out
With your hands up in the air
You don't stop this riot
You're all gonna get the chair'

Two gun Mathilda said
'It's too late to quit
Pass the dynamite, Molly
'Cause, man, this fuse is lit'

And there's a riot goin' on
(There's a riot goin' on)
There's a riot goin' on
(There's a riot goin' on)

There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine

They called the state militia
To help them win the fight
Drove up to the prison
In the middle of the night

Each and every trooper
He looked so tall and fine
All the chicks went crazy
Up in cell block number nine

But there's a riot goin' on
(There's a riot goin' on)
There's a riot goin' on
(There's a riot goin' on)

There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine


27.Break My Mind

Lyricist:John D Loudermilk

Baby, oh, baby, tell the man at the ticket stand
That you've changed your mind
Let me run on out and tell the cab
To keep his meter a flyin'

'Cause if you say goodbye to me
Babe, you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind, break my mind

You know I just can't stand to hear
Them big jet engines whine
Break my mind, break my mind, oh, Lord

Cause if you leave you're gonna
Leave a babblin' fool behind

Oh, baby, yeah, baby, let me take
Your suitcase off of them scales in time
Tell the man that you've suddenly
Developed this thing about flyin'

'Cause if you say goodbye to me
Babe you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind, break my mind
Break my mind break my mind


28.Lovin' Country Style

Lyricist:Hal Sothern, Wayne West

I like my lovin' country style
I'm only in the city for a while
So when I'm rid you see how I'll head for Tennessee
'Cause I like my lovin' country style

I like my lovin', huggin', kissin' country style
It's the best by test wins by country mile
You don't know what you've missed
Just wait till you've been kissed
Kissed in that good old country style

I like my huggin' country style
There's only kind of boys that's worthwhile
They're best for everything even plowin' in the spring
That's why I'm like 'em country style

I like my lovin', huggin', kissin' country style
It's the best by test wins by country mile
You don't know what you've missed
Just wait till you've been kissed
Kissed in that good old country style

I like my kissin' country style
And a country weds is the lady's style
I want a country boy to be my pride and joy
'Cause I like 'em good old country style

I like my lovin', huggin', kissin' country style
It's the best by test wins by country mile
You don't know what you've missed
Just wait till you've been kissed
Kissed in that good old country style


29.Is This My Destiny

Lyricist:Helen Carter

Cursed with sorrow, pain and woe
Full of feeling I can't show
Hopeless love, what else for me?
Is this my destiny?

At night I toss and wonder
Why I must live while others die
The grave would be escape for me
From this my destiny

I know God surely made for every man
Somewhere a maid
Someone stole my love from me
Is this my destiny?

At night I toss and wonder
Why I must live while others die
The grave would be escape for me
From this my destiny


30.Stand By Your Man

Lyricist:Billy Sherrill, Tammy Wynette

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand

But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, all be proud of him
â~Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man and tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can, stand by your man
Stand by your man and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can, stand by your man


31.It's Such A Pretty World Today

Lyricist:Dale Noe

It's such a pretty world today, look at the sunshine
And everyday's the same since I met you
It's such a pretty world today knowing that you're mine
And happiness is being close to you

And though the rain may fall our skies will all be blue
If I look close enough the sun will come shining through
It's such a pretty world today, look at the sunshine
Today and every day since I met you

And though the rain may fall our skies will all be blue
If I look close enough the sun will come shining through
It's such a pretty world today, look at the sunshine
Today and every day since I met you

Today and every day since I met you


32.Walk Right In

Lyricist:Gus Cannon, Hosea Woods

Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy let your mind roll on

Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of walking
Do you wanna lose your mind?

Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy let your mind roll on

Walk right in, sit right down
Baby let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down
Baby let your hair hang down

'Cause everybody's talking 'bout a new way of walking
Do you wanna lose your mind?

Walk right in and sit right down
Baby let your hair hang down

Walk right in sit right down

Daddy let your mind roll on
Daddy let your mind roll on roll on


33.Walk On Out Of My Mind

Lyricist:R Lane

I hear the echo of your footsteps
They're right in step with marching time
Since you've walked out of my life, out of my world
Please walk on out of my mind

I know you're hiding there in the darkness
And it's got me running scared and blind
Since you've walked out of my life, out of my world
Please walk on out of my mind

You've got footprints all over my memories
I must erase them if I can
You keep stumbling through my hopes and dreams
Kickin' round my future plans

You've got me walking round in circles
A looking for somethin' I'll never find
Since you've walked out of my life, out of my world
Please walk on out of my mind


34.Jealous Heart

Lyricist:Jenny Lou Carson

Jealous heart, ohh, jealous heart, stop beating
Can't you see the damage you have done
You have driven him away forever, jealous heart
Now I'm the lonely one

I was part of everything he planned for
And I know he loved me at the start
Now he hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you, ohh, jealous heart

Jealous heart, why did I let you rule me?
When I knew the end would bring me pain
Now he's gone, he's gone and found another
And I'll never see my love again

Through the years his memory will haunt me
Even though we're many miles apart
It's so hard to know he'll never want me
'Cause he heard you beating jealous heart
'Cause he heard you beating jealous heart


35.Weary Blues From Waitin'

Lyricist:Hank Sr. Williams

The snow falls round my window
But it can't chill my heart
God knows it died the day you left
My dream world fell apart

The weary blues from waitin'
Lord I've been a waitin' so long
These blues have got me cryin'
Oh sweet daddy please come home

Through tears I watch young lovers
As they go strolling by
Oh all the things that might have been
God forgive me if I cry

The weary blues from waitin'
Lord I've been a waitin' so long
These blues have got me cryin'
Oh sweet daddy please come home


36.Let Me Go Lover

Lyricist:Jenny Lou Carson, Kay Twomey, Benjamin Weisman, Fred Wise

Oh, let me go, let me go, let me go lover
Let me be, set me free from your spell
You made me weak, cut me deep I can't sleep lover
I was cursed from the first day I fell

Oh, you don't want me but you want me to go on wanting you
How I pray that you will say that we're through
Oh, turn me loose what's the use let me go lover
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Oh, you don't want me but you want me to go on wanting you
How I pray that you will say that we're through
Oh, turn me loose what's the use let me go lover
Let me go, let me go, let me go


37.Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad

Lyricist:Billy Sherrill, Glenn Sutton

I've never seen the inside of a barroom
Or listen to a jukebox all night long
But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home

I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em
So if that's the way you've wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
From now on you're gonna see a different me

Because your good girl's a gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingin'est swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up, hollered up then you oughta be glad
'Cause your good girl's a gonna go bad

I've even learn to like the taste of whiskey
In fact you'll hardly recognize your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life

Because your good girl's a gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingin'est swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up, hollered up then you oughta be glad
'Cause your good girl's a gonna go bad
Yes, your good girl's a gonna go bad


38.Dirt Behind My Years

Lyricist:Francis Leroy Goates, Dale D Siegenthaler

It's over I filled our world with hurt
I cheated and I lied to you and piled up so much dirt
Now I'd lost the only one in life I held so dear
I slowly bury your love in the dirt behind my years

You had every right to leave as far as I'm concerned
You gave all your love to me got nothing in return
You tried and I'll bet you'll cry at least the million tears
But they just couldn't wash away the dirt behind my years

You had every right to leave as far as I'm concerned
You gave all your love to me got nothing in return
You tried and I'll bet you'll cry at least the million tears
But they just couldn't wash away the dirt behind my years


39.One Minute Past Eternity

Lyricist:Stanley Kesler, William E Taylor

When will my arms grow cold
When will your kiss grow old
When will I want to be free
Exactly one minute past eternity

Throw away the love you've given me
Exactly one minute past eternity

Eternity's for ever
So darling have no fear
My love for you will last
And last a million, million years

When will I say goodbye
Break your heart and make you cry
Tell you to forget about me
Exactly one minute past eternity

Eternity's for ever

41.Yours Love

Lyricist:Harlan Howard

May the life that I live be yours
Love may the best I can give be yours, love
And from this moment on may a love
That is strong and lives on and on be yours love

May the sons that I raise be yours
Love may the comforts I praise be yours love
If I ever get weak may the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek be yours, love

May the Lord's shining grace be yours
Love may the happiest face be yours love
May the last fingertips that touch these two lips
As life from me slips be yours love
As life from me slips be yours love


42.Love Of The Common People

Lyricist:John Hurley, Ronnie Wilkins

Livin' on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do?

Tears from little sister cryin'
'Cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go, oh
But she knows she'll get by

'Cause she is livin' in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can and she can

It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it on the snow on the ground
A walking to town to find a job

Tryin' to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
It chills to the bone, boy
You'd better go home where it's warm

And you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as you can and you can

Livin' on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take 'em in stride, family pride

You know that faith is your foundation
And a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation and plenty of prayer
Making you strong where you belong

And you can live in the love of the common people
Oh, yes, we live in the love of the common people
Oh, yeah, we live in the love of the common people


43.How Important Can It Be

Lyricist:Bennie Benjamin, George David Weiss

How important can it be that I'd tasted other lips?
That was long before you came to me with a magic of your kiss
So the story got around of an old romance and me
But it happened, oh, so long ago, how important can it be?

Mine was young and the foolish heart seeking love at every turn
I have grown so much wiser now, even foolish heart can learn
Let the past just fade away, why get lost in yesterday?
The important thing is here and now and our love is here to stay

Mine was young and the foolish heart seeking love at every turn
I have grown so much wiser now, even foolish heart can learn
Let the past just fade away, why get lost in yesterday?
The important thing is here and now and our love is here to stay


44.This Time's The Next Time

Lyricist:Vic Mcalpin

This time's the next time, I warned you the first time
The next time's the last time, so this time we're through
You wasted your next time 'cause this time's the last time
There'll be no more next time, darling, for you

You spent too much bear time in the shadows of night time
So honey, it's about time I found someone new
How you find a new past time before it's too late time
Then I won't have time to cry over you

You spent too much bear time in the shadows of night time
So honey, it's about time I found someone new
How you find a new past time before it's too late time
Then I won't have time to cry over you


45.Little Bitty Tear

Lyricist:Hank Cochran

When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said, 'There'd be no sorrow that I'd laugh
When you walked away'

But a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down

I said, 'I'd laugh when you left me full of funny
As you went out the door'
That I'd have another one a waitin'
I'd wave goodbye as you go

But a little bitty tear

Everything went out like I planned it
And I really put on quite a show
I thought that I was gonna stand it
But when you've got through the door

But a little bitty tear
When you said you were leaving


46.Funnel Of Love

Lyricist:Charlie Mccoy, Kent Westberry

Here I go going down, down, down
My mind is a blank
My head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin'
As I go deep into the funnel of love

I tried and I tried, to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can't run from the funnel of love
It's gonna get ya someday

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin'
As I go deep into the funnel of love

I tried and I tried, to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can't run from the funnel of love
It's gonna get ya someday

Here I go, going down, down, down
My mind is a blank
My head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love
Deep into the funnel of love
Deep into the funnel of love


47.Hot Dog! That Made Him Mad

Lyricist:Daniel Barker, Don Raye

I've got a guy, I like him fine
But he takes me for granted all of the time
To teach him a lesson and make him mad
I went out on a date with the best friend he had

That made him mad, boy
Hot dog, that made him mad
And he hugged me and he kissed me
And he asked me not to do it again

Oh, late, last night, when I came in
He demanded to know just where I'd been
But I really put him right in his place
Instead of an answer, I laughed in his face

That made him mad, boy
Hot dog, that made him mad
So he hugged me and he kissed me
And he asked me not to do it again

He said my heart is on my sleeve
And if I didn't change that he would leave
Well, you should've seen him, was his face red
When I laughed and told him just go right ahead

That made him mad, boy
Hot dog, that made him mad
So he hugged me and he kissed me
And he asked me not to do it again

Well, the moral is to play it cool
Let your guy know you're nobody's fool
When he gets to thinking, you're all his own
Let him know that you can take him or leave him alone

That makes him mad, boy
Hot dog, that makes him mad
And he'll hug you and he'll kiss you
And he'll ask you not to do it again

Yeah, he'll hug you and he'll kiss you
He'll squeeze you and he'll please you
And he'll ask you not to do it again


48.In the Middle of a Heartache

Lyricist:Laurie Christenson, Pat Franzese, Wanda Jackson

I'm in the middle of a heartache
Half out, half in
Not quite out of love with you
Not too much in love with him

I'm in the middle of a heartache
Half way, half blue
Can't give all my love to him
When I'm still in love with you

Just when I think that, I've forgotten you
The mem'ry of your love grows dim
That old pain starts again of wanting you
More than I ever wanted him

I'm in the middle of a heartache
Heart old, heart new
Can't give all my love to him
When I'm still in love with you

Just when I think that, I've forgotten you
The mem'ry of your love grows dim
That old pain starts again of wanting you
More than I ever wanted him

I'm in the middle of a heartache
Heart old, heart new
Can't give all my love to him
When I'm still in love with you
(In love with you)


49.Blues Stay Away From Me

Lyricist:Alton Delmore, Rabon Delmore, Henry Glover, Wayne Raney

Blues stay away from me, blues, why don't you let me be?
Don't know why you keep on haunting me
Love was never meant for me, true love was never meant for me
Seems, somehow, we never can agree

Life is full of misery dreams, are like a memory bringing back
Your love that used to be, tears so many, I can't see years
Don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by and still I can't be free


50.Hello Darlin'

Lyricist:Conway Twitty

Hello darlin', nice to see you, it's been a long time
You're just as handsome as you used to be
How's your new love? Are you happy? Hope you're doing fine
Just to know this means so much to me

What's that, darlin'? How am I doing? I'm doing all right
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn
What I'm trying to say is I love you and I miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong

Look at me, darlin', let me kiss you just for old time sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time
Thank you, darlin', may God bless you, may each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you hope to find

Goodbye, darlin', I gotta go now, gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries of a love, so warm and true
And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me
Come back, darlin', I'll be waiting for you


51.Love's Gonna Live Here

Lyricist:Alvis E Jr Owens

Oh, the sun's gonna shine in my life
Once more love's gonna live here again
Things're gonna be the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here, love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness only happiness
Love's gonna live here again

I hear bells a ringin', I hear birds a singin'
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bees a hummin' and I know the days're comin'
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here, love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness only happiness
Love's gonna live here again


52.Hurtin's All Over

Lyricist:Harlan Howard

Now the hurtin's all over all over me
A year ago today I felt like dying
As unloved and unwanted as a heart could be
But time has a way of changing yesterday
Now the hurtin's all over, all over me

Yes, the hurtin's all over, all over my body
It started in my heart and it's spread all over me
Father Time did his part, took the hurt out of my heart
Now the hurtin's all over, all over me

Now my arms ache to hold you like they used to
And my eyes ache for the love light they no longer see
How I miss your caress, how my lips ache to be kissed
Now the hurtin's all over, all over me

Yes, the hurtin's all over, all over my body
It started in my heart and it's spread all over me
Father Time did his part, took the hurt out of my heart
Now the hurtin's all over, all over me


53.Rock Your Baby

Lyricist:Wanda Jackson

Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Take me in your arms and whisper low
Then rock your baby and don't be slow

Birds was made to sit in a tree
And you were made to dance with me
Here's your chance, now, don't go wrong
Gotta rock your baby, all night long

Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Take me in your arms and whisper low
Then rock your baby and don't be slow

I got my hair fixed in a pony tail
So when we dance it'll really sail
If you love me, then tell me so
But rock your baby and don't be slow

Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Take me in your arms and whisper low
Then rock your baby and don't be slow

Lyricist:Vicki Countryman, Wanda Jackson

You've been playin' it cool
I've been playin' a fool
(Ooh, wah)

Now don't you give me that cool love
(Give me that cool love)
Give me the kind I need
(The kind I need)

Let's start gettin' with it, baby
You're actin' like a square to me
(Baby)

Well, love's gotta be warm
And love's gotta be right
And this ain't no ice cube
That you're with tonight

So don't you dish me out the cool love
(Give me that cool love)
It don't move me at all
(Move me at all)
And if you'd live it up, baby
Man, we'd really have a ball
(Baby)

Now don't you give me that cool love
(Give me that cool love)
Give me the kind I need

Let's start gettin' with it, baby
You're actin' like a square to me
(Baby)

Now the clock is strikin' one
And we ain't had no fun
Just throw your arms around me
And the night has just begun

Now that's a little more like it
(A little more like it)
Now you're doing all right
(Doing all right)

And if you keep it up, baby
I'll see you tomorrow night

55.I Gotta Know

Lyricist:Thelma Blackmon

Well, I thought that you were wantin' romance
But all you ever do is dance, dance, dance
So I boppity bop the whole night long
To the knocked out music of a jukebox song
One thing I gotta know, I gotta know, I gotta know
If our love's the real thing where's my weddin' ring

Yes, we rocked and rolled till the broad daylight
You're a little too pooped to kiss your baby goodnight
I know you've had it when the rockin' is through
So I let you go home what else could I do
One thing I gotta know

Well, I thought that you were wantin' romance
When you're on that floor you're cool man cool
But when it comes to lovin' you need to go to school
You know I'm longin' for a weddin' day
But all you ever do is play, boy play
One thing I gotta know


56.Silver Threads And Golden Needles

Lyricist:Dick Reynolds, Jack Rhodes

I don't want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room
I just want the love you promised
Beneath the halo'd moon

But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And pretend that I don't notice
While you play your cheatin' games

Silver threads and golden needles
Can't patch up this heart of mine
And I never drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of your wine

You can't buy my love with money
For I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Can't patch up this heart of mine

I grew up in in faded gingham
Where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satin
Where love is a passin' game

I know now you never loved me
And I know I was the fool
To think your cry would let you
Live by the golden rule

Silver threads and golden needles
Can't patch up this heart of mine
And I never drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of your wine

You can't buy my love with money
For I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Can't patch up this heart of mine


57.Jambalaya (On The Bayou)

Lyricist:Sr., Hank Williams

Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh, my oh, me gotta go

My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh, my oh, son of a gun

Jambalaya crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o, son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk, come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh, my oh, son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou

Well, Jambalaya crawfish pie, son of a gun
We're gonna have big fun on the bayou


58.Have I Grown Used To Missing You

Lyricist:Ned Miller

I haven't cried a tear all day and the hurtin's gone away
Have I finally grown used to missing you
In the lonely hours tonight will I long to hold you tight
For have I finally grown used to missing you

For I must not let go of the greatest love I'll know
Is there still a change that you'll come back to me
It would be more than I could take and I know my heart would
break
If I've really grown used to missing you

For I must not let go of the greatest love I'll know
Is there still a change that you'll come back to me
It would be more than I could take and I know my heart would
break
If I've really grown used to missing you
Have I finally grown used to missing you


59.My Heart Gets All The Breaks

Lyricist:Justin Tubb

Just my heart's luck to be stuck with a fool like me
The only thing I bring my heart is misery
I can't hold on to you, no matter how I try
The only time your lips meet mine is when I'm gettin' kiss
goodbye

Someone always gets to hold you in their arms, it seems
While I'm left to hold the back of broken dreams
Will my eyes get all the tears and my head gets all the aches?
And my heart poor old heart gets all the breaks

My heart keeps begging me to stay away from you
It knows, darn, well, you're only out to make me blue
Every time I think I'm gonna hold you near
Someone walks by gives you the eye and like a ghost you
disappear

Someone always gets to hold you in their arms, it seems
While I'm left to hold the back of broken dreams
Will my eyes get all the tears and my head gets all the aches?
And my heart poor old heart gets all the breaks
And my heart poor old heart gets all the breaks


60.He Is My Everything

Lyricist:Dallas Frazier

He is my reason for living
He is my everything

I remember my days of darkness
Without sunshine or sight to lead my way
Then a whisper of His voice softly called me
To the arms of my Saviour to stay

He is my reason for living
He is the King of all Kings
I'm proud to be His possession
He is my everything

After the lightning and the thunder
After the last bell has rung
I want to bow down before Jesus
And hear Him say, 'Well done'

He is my reason for living
He is the King of all Kings
I'm proud to be His possession
He is my everything
He is my reason for living
He is my everything


61.Fancy Satin Pillows

Lyricist:Jan Crutchfield, Dee Moeller

Fancy satin pillows that you bought
For me to place beneath my head
I must admit they're very nice
But I would rather have your arms instead

To have you here beside me just feel your warmth
So very close is what I need
More than all the fancy satin pillows
You could ever buy for me

Still I thank you for the fancy satin pillows
I don't mean to be unkind
But I can't use 'em both and I thought
Sharing them was what you had in mind

In the stillness of the night to have your arms
Reach out and pull me close so tenderly
Means more than all the fancy satin pillows
You could ever buy for me

Still I thank you for the fancy satin pillows
I don't mean to be unkind
But I can't use 'em both and I thought
Sharing them was what you had in mind

In the stillness of the night to have your arms
Reach out and pull me close so tenderly
Means more than all the fancy satin pillows
You could ever buy for me

Means more than all the fancy satin pillows
You could ever buy for me


62.The Violet And The Rose

Lyricist:Bud Auge, Jimmy Dickens, John Reinfeld, Mel Tillis

A violet fell in love with a rose
And started it flashing from its head to its toe
Then one day the rose was kissed by the dew
A new love was born and the violet turned blue

Roses are red violets are blue
I'm sending red, red roses to you
If you care to send some flowers to me
Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be

I wanted my love to bouquet with you
But just like the rose you've proven untrue
A flower that's wild they say has no home
And just like the violet I'm left all alone

Roses are red


63.Little Boy Soldier

Lyricist:Claude Putman

The train is late as we stand and wait in the cold, cold rain
And my tiny son with his toy gun stands by me
In his soldier suit and a tiny flag clutched tightly in his hand
Little boy soldier, little boy soldier waiting for his dad

The night wears on and his big brown eyes grow sleepy
He can't understand, why mommy stands there weepin'
Why that should be the grandest time he and mommy ever had?
Little boy soldier, little boy soldier waiting for his dad

The train pulls in and his happy grin turns to surprise
Just a box of pine all covered fine with stars and stripes
With diverted look he wonders, why his mommy looks so sad
Little boy soldier, little boy soldier run to me, his dad


64.I Can't Make My Dreams Understand

Lyricist:Buck Bryant, Jim West

I kiss him goodnight and tell him I love him
Then I keep my rendezvous
Knowing that when I go to sleep
I'm gonna dream about you

I can't make my dreams understand that it's wrong
To dream about you when with him I belong
I've made vows to God to God and I've made vows to man
But I just can't make my dreams understand

My fingers are crossed when I say I'm happy
But lying just don't make it right
And each night when I go to sleep
I dream you are holding me tight

I can't make my dreams understand that it's wrong
To dream about you when with him I belong
I've made vows to God and I've made vows to man
But I just can't make my dreams understand


65.You Win Again

Lyricist:Hank Sr Williams

The news is out all over town that
You've been seen out running round
I know that I should not complain
I love you still, you win again

This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do, you win again

I'm sorry for your victim now
For soon her head like mine will bow
She'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say, you win again

You have no heart, you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
Just trusting you was my great sin
I love you still, you win again


66.Reuben James

Lyricist:Barry Etris, Alex Harvey

Reuben James in my song, you'll live again
And the phrases that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you Reuben James

Reuben James, all the folks around Madison County cussed your
name
Just a no count share croppin' black man who'd steal anything
that he can
And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James

Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
Faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

Flora Gray the gossip of Madison County died with child
And although your skin was black
You were the one who didn't turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name Reuben James

Reuben James, with your mind on my soul and Bible in your right
hand
You said turn the other cheek there's a better world waitin' for
the meek
In my head these words remain from Reuben James

Reuben James, you still walk

Reuben James one dark cloudy day they brought you from the
fields
To your lonely pine box came a preacher me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for Reuben James

Reuben James, you still walk

Reuben James, you still walk


67.No Place To Go But Home

Lyricist:Harlan Howard

They turned out the lights
Friends have said there goodnight
Now there's no place to go but home

I've had a beautiful evening for awhile
I forgot you were gone
Now you're back on my mind how I hate closing time
For there's no place to go but home

No place to go but home
And nobody home when I get there
They turned out the lights
Friends have said their goodnight
Now there's no place to go but home

I drive through this ghost of the city
And I've never felt so alone
It's the world's time to sleep and my time to weep

For there's no place to go but home
For there's no place to go but home


68.Lonely Street

Lyricist:Carl R Belew, Kenny Sowder, W S Stevenson

Where's this place called Lonely Street
I'm looking for that Lonely Street
I've got a sad sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called Lonely Street

A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and memories meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street

Perhaps upon this Lonely Street
Where's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love die

If I could find that Lonely Street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and memories meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street
Where's this place called Lonely Street


69.Wabash Cannonball

Lyricist:A P Carter

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the queen of flowing mountains to the south bells by the
shore
She's mighty tall and handsome, she's known quite well by all
She's the combination on the Wabash Cannonball

She came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she rolled into the station you could hear all the people say
There's a gal from Tennessee, she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball

Our eastern states're dandy, so all the people say
From New York to St Louis and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall
No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball

So here's to daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand
And always be remembered in the ports throughout the land
His earthly race is over, the curtains 'round him fall
We'll carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball

So listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the
shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hobos
squall
Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
You're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball


70.May You Never Be Alone

Lyricist:Hank Sr Williams

(May you never be alone like me)
Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight
I'm alone and oh, so blue tonight
Like a piece of driftwood on the sea
May you never be alone like me

I believed the lies you told to me
When you whispered dear I worship Thee
Now here am I alone and blue
All because I loved no one but you

In the Bible, God's own words to say
For every wrong someday you'll pay
Now I pray the Lord to set me free
May you never be alone like me
May you never be alone like me


71.Savin' My Love

Lyricist:Wanda Jackson

72.Try Me One More Time

Lyricist:Ernest Tubb

Yes I know I've been untrue
And I have hurt you through and through
Please have a mercy on this heart of mine
Take me back and try me one more time

If my darling you could see
Just what your leaving done to me
You'd know that love is still a tie that binds
And take me back and try me one more time

In my dreams I see your face
But it seems there's someone in my place
Oh does she know you were once just mine
Take me back and try me one more time

If you will just forgive me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
I'll promise never again to be unkind
Oh take me back and try me one more time


73.Tuck Away My Lonesome Blues

Lyricist:Jimmie Rodgers

(Yodel)
I'm always blue, feeling so blue
I wish, I had someone I knew
Just to help me tuck away my blues
Lonesome blues
So won't you be that someone
To help me lose the blues

I really need someone to love me, someone to kiss
Someone to scold me, someone to miss
So help me tuck away my lonesome blues
(Yodel)

I really need someone to love me, someone to kiss
Someone to scold me, someone to miss
So help me tuck away my lonesome blues
(Yodel)

75.Oh Lonesome Me

Lyricist:Don Gibson

Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home having none
I can't get over how he set me free, oh, lonesome me

Well, a bad mistake I'm making by just hanging 'round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see' oh' lonesome me

Well, I'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
A flirtin' with the girls with all his charms
But I still love him so and brother don't you know

Well, I'd welcome him right back here in my arms
Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z, oh, lonesome me

Well, I'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
A flirtin' with the girls with all his charms
But I still love him so and brother don't you know

Oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me


76.Less Of Me

Lyricist:Glen Campbell

Let me be a little kinder, let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me, let me praise a little more
Let me be, when I am weary just a little bit more cheery
Think a little more of others and a little less of me

Let me be a little braver, when temptation makes me waver
Let me strive a little harder to be all that I should be
Let me be a little meeker with the brother that is weaker
Think more of my neighbors and a little less of me

Let me be, when I am weary just a little bit more cheery
Let me serve a little better those that I am striving for
Let me be a little meeker with the brother that is weaker
Think a little more of others and a little less of me
Let me be a little kinder


77.You've Turned To A Stranger

Lyricist:Fred Franks, Jack Rhodes

The nights made you lonely, so you want to roam
You're no longer happy with me or your home
You search for excitement content used to grow
You've turned to a stranger that I hardly know

The flashing of the neon and the songs that they play
The gay crowds and the laughter have lured you away
Once you wanted me with you everywhere that you go
But you've turned to a stranger that I hardly know

I can't wash the pain from my tortured mind
With the gay crowds and the music and the bright lights that
shine
If this makes you happy, I don't blame you if you go
You've turned to a stranger that I hardly know

The glamor of the night life can't lure me away
I'd rather sit waiting and hope for the day
You'll return with your love that's faded so slow
No longer a stranger that I hardly know


78.My Baby's Gone

Lyricist:Hazel Marie Houser

Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops and hold back the sun
My world has ended, my baby's gone

Sometimes I wake up in the night and realize you're gone
And then I toss upon my bed and wait for day to come
I try to tell my lonely heart it must go on alone
But it cries, the world has ended, my baby's gone

Dry all the raindrops and hold back the sun
My world has ended, my baby's gone


79.Blues In My Heart

Lyricist:Jenny Lou Carson, Red Foley

Blues in my heart, oh how it aches
Nobody knows the sorrow it takes

I should have known right from the start
You'd leave me with these blues in my heart

Blues in my heart blue
Over you never believed you'd be so untrue

What can I do, what can I say?
Blues in my heart has got me this way

Oh, everything's wrong since we're apart
I wish I could lose these blues in my heart


80.Singing The Blues

Lyricist:Melvin Endsley

I never felt more like singing the blues
'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose your love
Dear why'd you do me this way

I never felt more like crying all night
'Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right without you
You got me singing the blues

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry over you

I never felt more like running away
But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay without you
You got me singing the blues

I never felt more like singing the blues


81.You Took Him Off My Hands

Lyricist:Harlan Howard, Skeets Mc Donald, Wynn Stewart

You took him off my hands
When you've stepped in
You changed everything
We're not even friends

Don't leave the job half done
Leave nothing behind
You took him off my hands
Now please take him off my mind

Please take his photograph
My heart's so blue
Take all his memories
He now belongs to you

Don't leave the job half done
Leave nothing behind
You took him off my hands
Now please take him off my mind

Please take his photograph

You took him off my hands
Now please take him off my mind


82.There's A New Moon Over My Shoulder

Lyricist:Lee Blastic, Jimmie Davis, Ekko Whelan

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

I remember now that I'm older
What you told me the day we had to part

You promised with the new moon
You'd be coming back to me
Now many moons have passed
Since then I'm waiting patiently

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

So I'll keep on praying
For your safe return someday
And that we'll be the same sweethearts
As when you went away

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart


83.We Could

Lyricist:Felice Bryant

If anyone could find the joy that true love brings a girl and
boy
We could, we could, you and I
If anyone could ever say that their true love was here to stay
We could, we could, you and I

When you're in my arms, I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you, I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night and thank the Lord that all is
right
We could, darling, we could, you and I

If anyone could find the joy that true love brings a girl and
boy
We could, we could, you and I
If anyone could ever say that their true love was here to stay
We could, we could, you and I


84.Slippin'

Lyricist:Fuzzy Owen

Slippin', I feel your love slippin' away
You're growing colder each day, I know I'm losing you
Drifting, somehow we keep drifting apart
I'm losing my place in your heart in spite of all I can do

Loneliness I feel in every kiss
And when you're holding me you seem far away
Wishing somehow I could find you again
And bring your love back once again but you keep slippin' away

Loneliness I feel in every kiss


85.Tip Of My Fingers

Lyricist:Bill Anderson

I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I had your love on the tip of my fingers
But that was as close as I came

My eyes held a vision of sweet lips
Yielding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
But I let it slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should've known right from the start

It's a long, long way from the tip of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should've known right from the start


86.I Wanna Waltz

Lyricist:Thelma Blackmon

Well, we used to waltz and a go out dancin'
Now you look like a cat a prancin'
I just stand looking at the floor
While you swing out and they holler for more

I wanna waltz but I can't waltz
Without you I'd be so blue

Well, you gotta bop, a you ain't happy
Till they play you somethin' snappy
All you wanna do is go cat go
All I wanna do is slow down slow

I wanna waltz but I can't waltz
Without you I'd be so blue

I can't understand while the bop keeps a goin'
When the music stops you're puffin' and a blowin'
Looks like somethin's bitin' you
When you cut loose on the be bop a loo

I wanna waltz but I can't waltz
Without you I'd be so blue

Well, you gotta bop, a you ain't happy
Till they play you somethin' snappy
All you wanna do is go cat go
All I wanna do is slow down slow

I wanna waltz but I can't waltz
Without you I'd be so blue


87.Night Life

Lyricist:Walter M Breeland, Paul F Buskirk, Willie Nelson

When the evening sun goes down
You will find me hanging 'round
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
But it's my life

Many people just like me
Dreaming of old used-to-be
Yeah, the night life it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Yeah, listen to the blues they're playin'
Yeah, listen to what those blues are sayin'

Mine is just another scene
From the world of broken dreams
Yeah the night life it ain't no good life
But it's my life


88.Try A Little Kindness

Lyricist:B Austin, C Sapaugh

If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
If you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say you're going the wrong way

You've got to try a little kindness, just show a little kindness
Shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness you'll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets

Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way

You've got to try a little kindness, just show a little kindness
Shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness you'll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets

You've got to try a little kindness, just show a little kindness
Shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness you'll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets


89.Kickin' Our Hearts Around

Lyricist:Wanda Jackson

So let's stop kickin' our hearts around
And let's love one another

You called me on the phone
But I hang up on you
Then I called back to apologize
For doing things I do

You can't understand the things
I do or things I say
And I can't accept the way
You change from day to day

So let's stop kickin' each others hearts around
It's not the thing to do
Let's pick them up and dust them off
And start our love anew

Let's be fair, let's don't dare
Try to hurt the other
Let's stop kickin' our hearts around
And let's love one another

We've said goodbye a thousand times
Then make up again
Always coming back for more
To see which one will win

I love you and you love me
On this we can agree
So let's stop kickin' our hearts around
And go on lovingly

Now let's stop kickin' each others hearts around
It's not the thing to do
Let's pick them up and dust them off
And start our love anew

Let's be fair, let's don't dare
Try to hurt the other
So let's stop kickin' our hearts around
And let's love one another

Lyricist:Sonny James, Robert Tubert

You're the only, only world I know

You're the only world I know
You're the one I can't let go
You're my laughter and my tears
And I love you all my years

You're the beating of my heart
You're my thoughts when we're apart
You're the one I can't let go
You're the only, only world I know

You're the only world I know
You're the one I can't let go
You're my laughter and my tears
And I love you all my years

You're the one I can't let go
You're the only, only world I know


91.Midnight Turning Day Blues (Blue Yodel No.6)

Lyricist:Jimmie Rodgers

He left me this morning, midnight was turning day
He left me this morning, midnight was turning day
I didn't have no blues till my good man went away
(Yodel)

Got the blues like midnight moon, shining bright as day
I got the blues like midnight moon, shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away
(Yodel)

One of these mornings I'm gonna leave this town
One of these mornings I'm gonna leave your town
â~Cause you're trifling me and it can really keep a good gal
down
(Yodel)

I got the blues like midnight moon, shining bright as day
Lord, Lord, got the blues like midnight moon, shining bright as
day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away
(Yodel)


92.If You Knew What I Know

Lyricist:Hal Sothern, Wayne West

Oh, if you knew what I know
You'd be glad to let him go
A guy that stays true is hard one to find
I've heard my old flame is now on your mind

But if you knew what I know
You'd be glad to let him go
Has he told you of the joys that we knew?
Or does he pretend he loves only you

'Cause if you knew what I know
You'd be glad to let him go
Someday you'll know his love isn't real
He'll come back to me and then how will you feel

'Cause he'll cheat on you like he cheated on me
So send him back now while your heart's still free
'Cause if you knew what I know
You'd be glad to let him go

You'd be glad to let him go


93.Mean Mean Man

I love a mean, mean man
Who lives uptown
When I want him most
He's not around

He's a mean, mean man
Woo, Lordy, he's a mean, mean man
He's a mean, mean man
But I love him all I can

Now he can calls at six
He wants a date at eight
He's never on time
He's always late

He's a mean, mean man
Woo, well, well, he's a mean, mean man
He's a mean, mean man
But I love him all I can

Now we can go to a dance
He holds me tight
But then he don't even
Kiss me goodnight

He's a mean, mean man
Whoo, Lordy, he's a mean, mean man
He's a mean, mean man
But I love him all I can

Ah, ha, I know I'm a fool
To love that man
But I'm a-gonna love him
As long as I can

He's a mean, mean man
Woo, well, well, he's a mean, mean man
He's a mean, mean man
But I love him all I can

94.Look Out Heart

Lyricist:Allen L D

Well, I just had a conversation with my heart
And it said, 'Let's stop to sing before it starts'
For he gets one put inside close that door and run and hide
Thanks ol' heart, here is my advice to you

Look out heart, here he comes once again
Look out heart, you know you can't win
Well, he said ,'He would be true, didn't say true to who'
Look out heart, here he comes again

Well, I've been through this a hundred times before
I don't think I can stand this anymore
Step aside let him by 'cause he's not my kind of guy
Look out heart here he comes again

Look out heart, here he comes once again
Look out heart, you know you can't win
Well, he said ,'He would be true, didn't say true to who'
Look out heart, here he comes again


95.You'd Be The First One To Know

Lyricist:John Dexter, Michael James, Craig Smart

If it's true what they say that I'll leave any day
I'll say it's not so our love still aglow
I'll tell them they're wrong and I love you so
And if it wasn't true, you'd be the first one to know

You won't have to be told when our love grows cold
I think you'd know from the start
So, we'll tell them they're wrong 'cause I love you so
And if you weren't in my heart, you'd be the first one to know

If our love grows cold and the flame burns lo
If the flame in my heart you should lose
It can't be denied 'cause darling if it's so
If I'd stop loving you, you'd be the first one to know

You won't have to be told


96.Roll With The Tide

Lyricist:Boudleaux Bryant, Felice Bryant

You're a drifter, I knew it when we met
You soon grow tired of every job you get
Like a wildcat on a restless changing sea
I'll never know why way you're taking me

So I'll roll with the tide roll with the tide
Though the waves never seem to find the shore
I'll roll with the tide roll with the tide
And I will till you don't want me anymore

I'm your woman heaven helps me you're my man
So stir the boat, I'll hang on if I can
Though you're crazy, I guess I'm crazy too
So sail on sink or swim love I'm with you

So I'll roll with the tide
And I will till you don't want me anymore


97.Heartbreak Ahead

Lyricist:Brown Dorothy Dell

A gypsy fortune teller in a gay market place
Saw in her crystal ball a young girl stricken face
Saw in clouds another woman and a man who were wed
She said, â½Turn back my childhood there's heartbreak aheadâ

Heartbreak ahead the roadway is dark
You're paying for what started out as a luck
You're young your dreams are broken your heart it's not glad
You can't run away from this heartbreak ahead

The girl cried, oh kind gypsy you have opened my heart
I love him he loves me we can't bear to part
I tried to give him up when I found he was wed
There's nothing for me now but heartbreak ahead

The gypsy said, â½My child you give up shame and disgrace
Give him up or the world will soon laugh in your face
You can't break up a home of a man who is wed
Without causing more sorrow and heartbreak aheadâ

Heartbreak ahead and you're both to blame
But it's not too late child to turn back from shame
But love without honor is love that it's dead
And time will soon heal your heartbreak ahead


98.Baby Loves Him

Lyricist:Wanda Jackson

Well, baby's a chick with the peroxide hair
You can't say this babe's a square
She likes her music with a solid beat
And when she starts to bop, you better go to your seat

'Cause, ooh, baby's gone
Yeah, she's gone, a-all the way, a-all the way
And when baby fell, well, she really fell
Like I knew she would someday

Baby fell for a cat with the blue suede shoes
Drives a pink Cadillac and never sings the blues
They dance to a jukebox all night long
One glance and you'll say these cats are real gone

But, ooh, baby loves him
Yeah, she loves him a-all the way, a-all the way
And when baby fell, well, she really fell
Like I knew she would someday

Well, now they're the happiest kids in town
Baby's got his ring and she sports it all around
All the other gals are jealous as can be
But it's plain to see

Ooh, baby loves him
Yeah, she loves him a-all the way, a-all the way
And when baby fell, well, she really fell
Like I knew she would someday


99.You're The One For Me

Lyricist:Steve Rowland

Hey little baby, you're the one I love so much
You're an angel, you thrill me with your magic touch
Ooh, when you kiss me and hold me tightly in your arms
I wanna tell you that you're the one for me

And in the daytime you're all I ever think about
When I am near you, you set my heart and soul on fire

You're the only one I'll ever long for
You're very special, set me all aglow
Won't you place the ring upon my finger
â~Cause darling, I love you so

keep
If I should die before I wake, I'll be back for you that's no
mistake

So I'll love you forever, can't forget you ever
Our love was meant to be please don't stop loving me

You're in my dreams nightly
