1.Singer Of Sad Songs
Widow Jones couldn't make it on her own
Frank was 'lectrafied leaving six kids half grown
In her misery she sent for me the singer of sad songs
And I sympathized and eulogized Frank Jones
And she cried singer of sad songs I need your services today
Doctor of broken hearts I'll wash your clothes and mend your
socks for your pay
Farmer Brown had always dreamed of city lights
Mini skirts on pretty girls were in his sights
So one early morn he left his corn to harvest a field of sin
Mrs Brown called me shortly after three a.m.
And she cried singer of sad songs I need your services today
Doctor of broken hearts got some early hybrid corn for your pay
Lovely Lucy sat there sippin' a glass of wine
She was at the church waitin' till after nine
But the groom to be was somewhere free with a case of yellow
spine
Lovely Lucy she's still a virgin and that's a crime
And she cried singer of sad songs I need your services today
Doctor of broken hearts got a slightly used diamond for your pay
2.Sick And Tired
Lyricist：D Bartholomew, C Kenner
Oh, baby, tell me what you gonna do？
Oh, baby, tell me what you gonna do？
I'm sick and tired from foolin' 'round with you
Get up every morning, pick up somethin' to eat
I'm gonna go to work and you brush your teeth
Come home in the evenin' and you're still in bed
Got a rag tied 'round your head
Oh, baby, tell me what you're gonna do
I'm sick and tired a foolin' 'round with you
It's the last time I'm tellin' you
Better change your ways
Last time I'm tellin' you, I mean what to say
Last time I'm tellin' you, you better stop to try
You're gonna find yourself outside
Oh, baby, tell me what you're gonna do
I'm sick and tired from foolin' 'round with you
3.Time Between Bottles Of Wine
With iron in my brain I'd laid down to rest not caryin' if I
live or die
Woke up a freezin' with rain pourin' down so hard I can open my
eyes
I been chased from the yard with dogs at my heels searchin' for
shelter at times
But there's nothing so hard for a man on the bum as the time
between bottles of wine
The time between bottles of wine
Beggin' for pennies just one sweet taste of the nectar that
kills the man's soul
Sweet piece of mind excuses my pride just somethin' that keep
out the cold
It's too late for me to start living again the good life is too
far behind
I never remembere the things that I've had till the time between
bottles of wine
The time between bottles of wine
If mama could see me she wouldn't believe I even resemble her
son
She would throw her life to make me a man and she's proud the
child that she's done
What one love created another destroy the story is older than
time
The tale of a man who just can't stand the time between bottles
of wine
The time between bottles of wine the time between bottles of
wine
The time between bottles of wine
4.Must You Throw Dirt In My Face
Lyricist：Bill Anderson
What is it that brings you to this part of town？
Curiosity, conscience or fate
I know it's not love for I once gave you love
And all you gave me was the gate
I got a feeling you've come back
To just rub it in and it really put me in my place
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Why must you throw dirt in my face？
Must you keep telling me you've got a new love
I don't need you to remind me
Must you keep telling me I look so lonesome
And that my better days are behind me
Must you keep showing me pictures of him
And boasting of his warm embrace
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face
You've already left me and broken my heart
Told me how much you don't want me
Believe I'm happier when we're apart
Why must you come back now and haunt me
Must you keep showing me pictures of him
And boasting of his warm embrace
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face
5.No Regrets
Lyricist：Tom Rush
I know your leaving's too long overdue
For too long I've had nothing new to show you
Goodbye dry eyes, I watched your plane fade off west of the moon
It felt so strange to walk away alone
No regrets, no tears goodbye
Don't want you back, we'd only cry again
Say, goodbye again
The hours that were yours echo like empty rooms
The thoughts we used to share, I now keep alone
I awoke last night and spoke to you not thinking you were gone
And it felt so strange to lie awake alone
No regrets, no tears goodbye
Don't want you back, we'd only cry again
Say, goodbye again
Our friends have tried to turn my nights to day
Strange faces in your place can't keep the ghosts away
Just beyond the darkest hour just behind the dawn
It feels so strange to leave my life alone
No regrets, no tears goodbye
Don't want you back, we'd only cry again
Say, goodbye again
6.Ragged But Right
(george jones)
Well i've come here to tell you boys
I'm ragged but i'm right
I'm a tramp and a rounder
I stay out late at night.
I pour a high steak
Three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer
In this old town can afford.
A big electric fan
Keep me cool while i sleep
A little baby boy
Play's around daddy's feet.
I'm a rounder i'm a gambler
Lord i lead every fight
I tell you boys
I'm ragged but i'm right.
--- instrumental ---
When i got married
I knew i'd settled down
I built a little lovenest
Right near in my hometown.
Now i've got a family
One that i'm proud of
I know that they'll be happy
'cause i'm the one they love.
A big electric fan
Keep me cool while i sleep
A little baby boy
Play's around daddy's feet.
I'm a rounder i'm a gambler
Lord i lead every fight
I tell you boys
I'm ragged but i'm right...
7.Honky Tonk Woman
Lyricist：Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
I met her, just a barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to make me upstairs for a ride
She had to carry me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl
I met her either say in New York City
I had to put up a one heck of a fight
The lady said, 'She'd covered me with roses'
She broke my nose and then she broke my mind
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme
8.She Comes Running
When loneliness is knocking at my mind happiness is something I
can't find
Pleasure seem forty miles behind she comes running
If I stand in someone else's rain feelin' forty million miles of
pain
She know just what and who's to blame she comes running
If my dreams all turn to seas if my flowers turn to breeze
She knows exactly what I need she comes running
On the day the world puts me down in some empty space in the
ground
I'll bet if I make a sound she'll come running
9.If I Were A Carpenter
Lyricist：Tim Hardin
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby？
If a thinker were my trade would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made following behind me
Save my love through sorrow
Save your love through lonely
You can have my tomorrow
Just love me only
If I worked my hands in wood would you still love me
Answer me say yes I would I place you above me
If I were a miller with a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your pretty clothes and your soft shoes shining？
Save my love through sorrow
Save your love through lonely
You can have my tomorrow
Just love me only.
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby？
10.Donna On My Mind
Lyricist：Billy Barton
Donna on my mind when I get up in the morning
Donna on my mind the whole day through
Love can't come so quick and real without any warning
Wonder if she's thinking of me too
Once I thought that no one girl could ever hold me
Even thought this thing called love was just fantasy
Now I won't be satisfied until she's mine
'Till then I'll just have Donna on my mind
Once I thought that no one girl could ever hold me
Even thought this thing called love was just fantasy
Now I won't be satisfied until she's mine
'Till then I'll just have Donna on my mind
11.Rock, Salt and Nails
By the banks of the river where the willows grow cold
Wild birds warble the strange soundin' song
By the banks of the river where the waters run cold
Well that's where I first listened the lies that she told.
He lays there each night all alone and he weeps
Nothing ain't worse than a night without sleep
The letters she wrote him they were written in vain
But I know that her conscience still echoes my name.
If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were fishes
I'd lay there for hours in the cold rainy matches
If the ladies were squirrels yeah with a big bushy tail
I'd fill up my shotgun with a rock salt and nails.
We'd fill up our shotgun with a rock salt and nails...
