1.Woman Let Me Sing You A Song
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
Woman let me sing you a song
Woman let me sing you a song
That tells how you've done me wrong
So it's your fault if it's long
Woman let me sing you a song
Well, the neighbors all say I run around
Yeah, the neighbors all say I run around
But baby, if I do I'm still miles in back off you
Woman let me sing you a song
You tell our friends I drink too much
Now the whole town knows I drink too much
But the reason why I drink is a thought you make to think
Woman let me sing you a song
Woman let me sing you a song
Woman let me sing you a song
I said, 'I'd die for you and I have the time or two
Woman let me sing you a song'
Now woman I've done sang you my song
2.Busted
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound and I'm busted
I got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills gettin' bigger each day.
The county will haul my belongings away 'cause I'm busted
I went to see my brother, gonna ask him for a loan, I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted
My brother said, â½There ain't one thing I can do
Wife and the kids they're all down with the flu
I was just thinking about calling on you 'cause I'm bustedâ
I ain't no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted
Well, the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family gotta pack up and go
I'll make a living but where I don't know, I'm just busted
3.She's Gone, Gone, Gone
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
She said if I ever deceived her
She'd been gone before I could count ten
Well, I guess that I didn't believe her
'Cause look at the trouble that I'm in
And now she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Cryin' won't bring her back
The more that I cry the faster than train flies
Farther on down the track
If I only knew where to find her
I'd crawl there on my hands and knees
But each tick of the clock is a reminder
She's one second farther from me
And now she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Cryin' won't bring her back
The more that I cry the faster than train flies
Farther on down the track
4.Heartaches By The Number
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
Heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back but never meant to stay
I've got heartaches by the numbers, troubles by the score
Every day you love me less, each day I love you more
I've got heartaches by the numbers a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will
end
Heartache number three was when you called me
You said that you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on my door
I waited but you must have lost your way
I've got heartaches by the numbers, troubles by the score
Every day you love me less, each day I love you more
I've got heartaches by the numbers a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting, that's the day my world will
end
5.In This Very Same Room
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
That's the very same door that I carried her through
On the night we were married last June
And right over there is the very same chair
That she sat in when she said we're through
Over here you can see where I got on my knees
And I begged but her heart was a stone
Over here's where I cried
Did you know I'd died right here in this very same room
To your right there's a crib and it's never been used
Perhaps that's why we're apart
And there sits a phone that she used on alone
To make plans with her new sweetheart
Then she walked over here and she picked up her things
Then left me alone in the gloom
Over here's where I cried
Did you know I'd died right here in this very same room
Right here in this very same room
6.She Called Me Baby
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
She called me baby, baby, all night long
Used to hold and kiss me till the dawn
Then one day I woke and she was gone
There's no more baby, baby, all night long
She called me baby, baby, all night long
Kissed my tears away when things went wrong
What I'd give if she'd just come back home
And call me baby, baby, all night long
She called me baby, baby, all night long
Held me up so high and made me strong
Now each time in dreams just like a song
I still hear baby, baby, all night long
I still hear baby, baby, all night long
7.Heartaches For A Dime
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
I called you on the phone to say I love you
That I stop by for you at nine
My heart broke when you said that it's all over
Someone else would take up all your time
And that's a lot of heartaches for a dime
I'll never know what made you change your mind
I only know I've held you close and kissed you my last time
That's a lot of heartaches for a dime
I went downtown to join the merry makers
I told myself that here's where I belong
I thought that I was doin' fine without you
And then I heard somebody play our song
That's a lot of heartaches for a dime
8.Beautiful Anabel Lee
Lyricist：Howard Harlan
I was a child and she was a child
Yet our love was something to see
My parents were poor, I was turned from the door
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee
Now the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee and the stars never rise
But I feel the soft eyes
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee
But not even the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can keep me away from my meeting someday
With my beautiful Anabel Lee
Now the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee and the stars never rise
But I feel the soft eyes
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee
9.Foolin' Around
Lyricist：Harlan Howard, Buck Owens
I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the
start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
When you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me
I wasn't foolin' 'round the day I said I'd do
Many a night I wished that I've been foolin' too
I know it's foolish taking all this misery
When it's you a fool I'll always be
I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the
start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
When you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me
Honey, fool around, you'll know right where I'm at
Don't worry if I'm lonesome 'cause I'm used to that
When you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me
I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the
start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
When you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me
10.Grapes on the Vine
Lyricist：Steve Gillette, Charles Quarto
There are songs that birds don't sing to people
There are secrets that keep right through to the end
There are heroes who hide until forever
And I'm singing this song for one of them
He's the man that you passed on the road there
The one with his life on the loose
Going either somewhere or nowhere
Going without me, without you
For he is this world's constant orphan
Traveling out his lone time
Living on apples from orchards
Dying from grapes on the vine
You can find him in big city winters
Down where the mission bell cries
And sorrow echoes through summer
As he tries to close all his eyes
You can find him in Pittsburgh in Christmas
You can find him in Buffalo in June
And he knows all the back roads between them
Like the gypsy knows the moon
And it's Route 22 all over again
Stick your thumb out and try to look like somebody's friend
Look strong at the man, gentle at the girl
And puzzled at the rest of the world
For he is this world's constant orphan
Traveling out his lone time
Living on apples from orchards
Dying from grapes on the vine
Living on apples from orchards
Dying from grapes on the vine
11.The Everglades
Lyricist：Howard Harlan
He was born and raised around Jacksonville
A nice young man â~bout the kind to kill
But the jealous fight and the flashing blades
Sent him on the run through the everglades
Running like the dog through the everglades
Where a man can hide and never be found
And never have fear of the baying hounds
Better keep moving, don't stand still
If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville
If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville
Well, the posse went in and they came back out
And said he'll die and there ain't no doubt
It's an eye for an eye, the debt is paid
It won't last long in the everglades
A man can't live in the everglades
But a man can hide and never be found
And never have fear of the baying hounds
Better keep moving, don't stand still
If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville
If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville
Now the years went by and his girl was wed
His family gave up, they thought he was dead
Now and then, the people would say
They had seen him running through the everglades
Running like the dog through the everglades
Where a man can hide and never be found
And never have fear of the baying hounds
Better keep moving, don't stand still
If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville
If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville
12.I've Got a Tiger By the Tail
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.
Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights're found
There ain't no way to slowin' you down
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.
I thought the day I met you you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
Now the pace we've been living takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail...
