Waylon at JD's

Waylon Jennings Waylon at JD's Lyrics
1.Crying

I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But when I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say hello
And though you wished me well
You couldn't tell
That I'd been

Crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said So long
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying

It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But darling, what can I do
Oh you don't love me
And I'll always be

Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying

I'm crying, crying
Oh-oh-oh-over you


2.Dream Baby

Lyricist:Cindy Walker

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream?

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams
The whole day through
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams
In night time too

I love you and I'm dreamin' of you
That won't do
Dream baby, help me stop my dreamin'
You make my dreams come true

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream?

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams
The whole day through
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams
In night time too

I love you and I'm dreamin' of you
That won't do
Dream baby, help me stop my dreamin'
You make my dreams come true

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream?

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby


3.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 are gonna be the way they were once 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 are ringin', I hear birds are singin'
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bees are hummin' and I know the day's are comin'
Love's gonna live here again

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


4.Sally Was A Good Old Girl

Lyricist:Harlan Howard

Sally used to carry my friends to school
Sally was a big old girl
Did my homework 'cause I was a fool
Sally was a good old girl

When I want a kiss or a little bitty squeeze
Sally's always willing and she did her best to please
A girl made to love and not made to tease
Sally was a good old girl

Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
Sally gave it her best
Sally was a good old girl

Well, her folks was poor
But she helped all she could
Sally was a good old girl
Hardest working woman in the neighborhood
Sally was a good old girl

She walked up and down the street all day
Selling neck ties to the one's who would pay
If you didn't have the money then she'd give them away
Sally was a good old girl

Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
Sally gave it her best
Sally was a good old girl

She was a favorite of all the men
Sally was a good old girl
All of the girls despised her then
Sally was a good old girl

Women talked about her but Sally didn't care
She kept for a workin' and a doin' her share
She wound up married to a millionaire
Sally was a good old girl

Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
Sally gave it her best
Sally was a good old girl

Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
Sally gave it her best
Sally was a good old girl


5.Abilene

Lyricist:Pete Drake

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene

I sit alone most every night
Watch those trains pull out of sight
Don't I wish they were carrying me
Back to Abilene, my Abilene

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene

Crowded city, there ain't nothing free
Nothing in this town for me
Wish to the Lord that I could be
In Abilene, sweet Abilene

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene


6.Burning Memories

Lyricist:Mel Tillis, Wayne P. Walker

Tonight I'm burning old love letters
Photographs and memories of you
Hoping somehow I'll feel better
And that when the smoke is gone I won't want you

Burning memories
Teardrops fall while I am
Burning memories
Burning all the memories of you that I can't lose

My heart to you no longer matters
And I can't live alone with memories
Into the fire those dreams that you've shattered
And when the smoke is gone then I'll be free

Burning memories
Teardrops fall while I am
Burning memories
Burning all the memories of you that I can't lose


7.It's So Easy

Lyricist:Charles Holley, Norman Petty

It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
Look into your heart and see
What your love book has set apart for me

It seems so easy
Yeah, so doggone easy
It seems so easy
Well, where you're concerned
My heart has learnt

It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love

It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
Love, they say is made for fools
Here I go breaking all of the rules

It seems so easy
Oh, so doggone easy
It seems so easy
Oh, well, where you're concerned
My heart has learnt

It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love


8.White Lightning

Lyricist:J.p. Richardson

Well, in North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down
And then he'd fill him a jug, he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin'
White lightnin'

Yeah, the G-men, T-men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
White lightnin'

Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew as
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin', thunder started crashin'
White lightnin'

Yeah, the G-men, T-men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
White lightnin'

Well, a city slicker came and he said, 'I'm tough
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff'
He took one swift slug and he drank it right down
And I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin', your pappy's corn squezin'
White lightnin'

Yeah, the G-men, T-men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'


9.Big Mamou


10.Money (That's What I Want)

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money
That's what I want

You're lovin' gives me a thrill
But you're lovin' don't pay my bills
Now give me money
That's what I want

Money don't get everything, it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want

Money don't get everything, it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want

Well, now give me money, money
Wow, yeah, I wanna be free
I want money
That's what I want

That's what I want
Now give me money, money
You need money, give me money
That's what I want

That's what I want...


11.Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It will never do anyhow
When your rooster's a crowing at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason why I'm traveling on
But don't think twice, it's all right

An it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, baby
The light I never knowed
An it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, baby
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' I could do or say
To try and make you change your mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right

Well it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinking and a-wondering, walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

So long honey baby
Where I'm bound, I cannot tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just kinda say 'Fare thee well'
Now I'm not saying that you treated me unkind
You could have done a lot better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right


12.Lorena

The years creep slowly by, Lorena
The snow is on the grass again
The sun's low down the sky, Lorena
The frost gleams where the flowers have been
But the heart throbs on as warmly now
As when the summer days were nigh
Oh, the sun can never dip so low
A-down affection's cloudless sky.

A hundred months have passed, Lorena
Since last I held that hand in mine
And felt the pulse beat fast, Lorena
Though mine beat faster far than thine
A hundred months...'twas flowery May
When up the hilly slope we climbed
To watch the dying of the day
And hear the distant church bells chime.

We loved each other then, Lorena
More than we ever dared to tell
And what we might have been, Lorena
Had but our loving prospered well
But then, 'tis past, the years have gone
I'll not call up their shadowy forms
I'll say to them, 'Lost years, sleep on
Sleep on, nor heed life's pelting storms.'

The story of the past, Lorena
Alas! I care not to repeat
The hopes that could not last, Lorena
They lived, but only lived to cheat
I would not cause e'en one regret
To rankle in your bosom now
'For if we try we may forget'
Were words of thine long years ago.

Yes, these were words of thine, Lorena
They are within my memory yet
They touched some tender chords, Lorena
Which thrill and tremble with regret
'Twas not the woman's heart which spoke
Thy heart was always true to me
A duty stern and piercing broke
The tie which linked my soul with thee.

It matters little now, Lorena
The past is in the eternal past
Our hearts will soon lie low, Lorena
Life's tide is ebbing out so fast
There is a future, oh, thank God!
Of life this is so small a part
'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod
But there, up there, 'tis heart to heart.
