I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name I couldn't stand to see you wed another But dear I hope you're happy just the same. Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel That should be ringing now for you and me Down the aisle with someone else you're walking Those wedding bells will never ring for me. --- Instrumental --- I planned a little cottage in the valley I even brought a little band of gold I thought someday I'll place it on your finger But now the future looks so dark and cold. I fancy that I see a bunch of roses A blossom from an orange tree in your hair And while the organ plays I'll love you truly Please let me pretend that I am there. Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel Ever since the day you set me free I knew someday that you would wed another But wedding bells will never ring for me... |

I know you tried your best to love me,
You smiled when your heart told you to weep; You tried to pretend that you were happy, Last night I heard you crying in your sleep. You gave the best years of your life, Dear, And each precious vow you tried to keep; I love you so much I want you happy, Last night I heard you crying in your sleep. --- Instrumental --- Your heart is yearning for an old love, With new love it's useless to compete; It hurts me to know you are unhappy, 'Cause, last night I heard you crying in your sleep. You know that you are free to go, Dear, And don't mind if I start to weep; I know I can never make you happy, 'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep... |

I just don't like this kind of livin' I'm tired of doin' all the givin'
I give my all and sit and yearn and get no lovin' in return And I just don't like this kind of livin' Why do we stay together if we always fuss and fight You ain't never done to be wrong and I ain't never been right Tell me where you think we're goin' cause I ain't got no way of knowin' When things go wrong you go your way you leave me here to pay and pay And I just don't like this kind of livin' [ steel ] I just don't like the things you're doin' your evil heart will be your ruin When things start running smooth and free you haul right off and you pick on me And I just don't like this way of livin' They say the road of love is long it's rocky and it's rough But if this road don't start to get smooth I've traveled it long enough Why don't you act a little bit older and get that chip off of your shoulder Well I told you once now I'll tell you twice you better start to treatin' me nice Cause I just don't like this kind of livin' |

The news is out all over town
that you've been seen a runnin' round I know that I should leave but then I just can't go, 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. --- Instrumental --- I'm sorry for your victim now 'Cause soon his head like mine will bow He'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 I guess that I should not complain I love you still, you win again... |

Album: Sings the Hits of His Country Cousins
Written by Hank Williams, Sr. Everybody says you let me down That I should be ashamed to take you 'round Makes no difference what you used to do Darling, I could never be ashamed of you Maybe you were reckless yesterday But together, we can find a brighter way In my heart, I know that you'll come through Darling, I could never be ashamed of you All the happiness I've ever known Came the day you said you'd be my own And it matters not what we go through Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you Maybe you've been cheated in the past And perhaps those memories will always last Even though you proved to be untrue Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you... |

I was ridin' No 9 headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow Got in trouble had to roam I left my gal and left my home I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. Just a kid acting smart I went and broke my darling's heart I guess I was too young to know They took me off that Georgia Main locked me to a ball and chain I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. --- Instrumental --- All alone I bear the shame, I'm a number not a name I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow All I do is sit and cry when the evening train goes by I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. I'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shell And my hair turns whiter than snow I'll never see that gal of mine, I'm in Georgia doing time I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow... |

Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep You'll cry and cry And try to sleep. But sleep won't come The whole night through Your cheatin' heart Will tell on you. When tears come down Like fallin' rain You'll toss around And call my name. You'll walk the floor The way I do Your cheatin' heart Will tell on you. --- Instrumental --- Your cheatin' heart Will pine someday And crave the love You threw away. The time will come When you'll be blue Your cheatin' heart Will tell on you. When tears come down Like fallin' rain You'll toss around And call my name. You'll walk the floor The way I do Your cheatin' heart Is gonna tell on you... |

(No they'll never, ever take her love from me)
If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares There is one who's smiling face, the God's would see 'Cause she'll walk along beside me, up to golden stairs Oh, they'll never, ever take her love from me. What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave And to see her love turn into sympathy It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave Oh, they'll never, ever take her love from me. --- Instrumental --- I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness That we shared together in the used to be Someone else's arms may hold her now in uncaress But they'll never, ever take her love from me. I thought I could make her happy if I'd step aside But I knew her love would never set me free And even on the day that she became another's bride I'll say, they'll never, ever take her love from me... |

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on Take these chains from my heart and set me free. Take these tears from my eyes and let me see Just a spark of the love that used to be If you love somebody new let me find a new love too Take these chains from my heart and set me free. --- Instrumental --- Give my heart just a word of sympathy Be as fair to my heart as you can be Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there Take these chains from my heart and set me free. Take these chains from my heart and set me free You've grown cold and no longer care for me All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on Take these chains from my heart and set me free... |

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always, Because the sun's gonna shine In my back door someday. I'm gonna lay my head On some lonesome railroad line And let that 2:19 Pass through my worried mind. --- Instrumental --- Trouble in mind, I'm blue And I've almost lost my mind Sometimes I feel like livin' Sometimes I feel like dyin'. I'm going down to the river I'm going to buy me a rockin' chair And if the blues don't leave me I'm goin' to rock away from here. --- Instrumental --- Trouble in mind, I'm blue, My ole heart is a-beating slow I never had so much trouble In my life before. My good gal she's gone to Sydney And it sure did grieve my mind When you see me laughing I'm just a-trying to keep from cryin'. Trouble In Mind... |

Well, you tell me that you care
But now you're gone you got me cryin' No use denyin' you done me wrong If I could look inside your heart Maybe I could find the reason Why you are leavin' me all alone.

It's a sin, my darlin', how I love you
Because I know our love can never be It's a sin to keep this memory of you When silence proves that you've forgetten me. But dreams are built for us as humblers Each tie is broken like my heart It's a sin, my darling, how I love you So mush in love and yet so far apart --- Instrumental --- I'm sure you're happy with another Whose cares and lovin' I can't win Why pretend that I can live without you When deep inside I know that it's a sin... |

(Just hang around my tears are overdue)
If you want to see somebody cry their heart out For a love they lost and must live without If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you Just hang around my tears are overdue. If you want to hear confessions from a broken man Who once held a world of love, right in his hands If you wanna see a heartbreak. right in two in front of you Just hang around my tears are overdue. Now there's not a way that I can say how much it really hurts When a broken heart and guilty conscience starts to work I hope you won't forget the sight you see today Just remember love I had then threw away. If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you Just hang around my tears are overdue. Just hang around my tears are overdue... |

Writers: Johnny Mathis, V. Frank and George Jones
(Changed his name from Brown to blue.) We stood there in the courthouse room So close yet far apart, You had brought your lawyer And I'd brought a broken heart, The judge pronounced the words The way you wanted him to do, And changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to blue. I couldn't keep my tears from falling, On the courtroom floor, By law, they took away my rights, To love you anymore, My world just seemed to stop, While I stood there so close to you, They changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to blue. The judge forgot to tell me How I'd live my life alone, What I would do without you After loving you so long, He didn't seem to care that I am still in love with you, He changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to blue. I couldn't keep my tears from falling, On the courtroom floor, By law, they took away my rights, To love you anymore, My world just seemed to stop, While I stood there so close to you, They changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to blue... |

A≪ Aⓒ '63 Glad Music A≫ Well here I stand on this high ground Looking out over this great big town Searching for love that didn't treat me right It's a lonesome old town tonight I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay A friend he told me that she came this way He said that he saw her by the neon lights It's a lonesome old town tonight I see people walkin' and drivin' their cars They're too far away for me to see who they are I'm gonna go down so they will be in sight It's a lonesome old town tonight Well here I stand on this high ground Looking for my baby but she can't be found The stars are out and the moon is bright It's a lonesome old town tonight I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay... Well here I stand on this high ground... It's a lonesome old town tonight |

You promised me love
That would never die That promise you've made Was only a lie. Now after you've gone All alone I've pined For all that I've got Was a worried mind. I gave you a ring I gave you a home You promised me love That you'd never wrong. I bought you fine clothes And I bought you wine But all that I got Was a worried mind. --- Instrumental --- And when I was down You've just left me there I needed you so But you didn't care. You found a new love And a home so fine But all that I've got Is a worried mind... |

Just when the sunshines the brightest
And the world looks alright, again Then the clouds fill the sky's You can't believe your eyes Sometimes you just cant win. My love never meant much to you dear Or yo you I was always a friend Oh, why did I call, You have no heart at all Sometimes you just cant win. --- Instrumental --- I can't live like this any longer Not knowing just where I stand I know I should't care But sweetheart it don't seem fair Sometimes you just cant win And then when the sunshines the brightest And the world looks alright, again The clouds fill the sky's You can't believe your eyes Sometimes you just can't win... |

When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day I said there would 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, Oh, but a little bitty tear let me down. I said that I would laugh when you left me Pull a funny as you went out the door That I'd have me another one a-waiting Yes, to wave goodbye as you go. But a little bitty tear let me down, Spoiled my act as a clown I had it made up not make a frown, But a little bitty tear let me down. Everything went like a planned it And I really put on quite a show In my heart I felt I could stand it Till you walked with your grip through the door. Then a little bitty tear let me down, Spoiled my act as a clown I had it made up not make a frown, But a little bitty tear let me down. A little bitty tear let me down. A little bitty tear let me down. A little bitty tear let me down... |
