Ricky Nelson - Greatest Hits [compilation] (2006) by Ricky Nelson (보컬) on maniadb.com

Im a travelin man
Ive made a lot of stops all over the world
And in every part I own the heart
Of at least one lovely girl
Ive a pretty Seniorita waiting for me
Down in old Mexico
If youre ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute little Eskimo
Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you oh so tight
Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you oh so tight
Oh, Im a travelin man
Yes, Im a travelin man

You passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oo I wanted you forever more
Now I'm not one that gets around
I swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before:
I said "Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou
I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou
We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart"
I saw your lips I heard your voice
believe me I just had no choice
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
I thought about a moonlit night
My arms about good an' tight
That's all I had to see for me to say

I used to play around with hearts that hastened at my call,
But when I met that little girl I knew that I would fall.

Poor little fool, oh yeah, I was a fool, uh huh..
She played around and teased me with her carefree devil eyes,
She'd hold me close and kiss me but her heart was full of lies.

She told me how she cared for me and that we'd never part,
And so for the very first time I gave away my heart.

The next day she was gone and I knew she'd lied to me,
She left me with a broken heart and won her victory.

I'd played this game with other hearts but I never thought I'd see,
The day that someone else would play love's foolish game with me.

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken heart stays

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears

Going down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Going down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away

In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

I believe what you say when you say you're goin' steady with nobody else but me
I believe what you say when you say you don't kiss nobody else but me
I believe (I believe), do believe (do believe), I believe (I believe)
Yeah, I believe, pretty baby, believe you're goin' steady with nobody else but me
Well, there's-a one thing, baby, that I wantcha to know
When you're rockin' with me don't rock too slow
a-Move on in, get toe-to-toe
We're gonna rock till we can't rock no more
I believe (I believe), do believe (do believe), I believe (I believe)
Yeah, I believe, pretty baby, believe you're goin' steady with nobody else but me
SPOKEN: Well, let's dig it now.
Well, I believe what you say when you say you don't miss nobody else but me
I believe what you say when you say you don't kiss nobody else but me
I believe (I believe), do believe (do believe), I believe (I believe)
Yeah, I believe, pretty baby, believe you're goin' steady with nobody else but me
Well, when you kiss me, baby, then you roll your eyes
I get a funny feelin' that I'm hypnotized
Chills run all up and down my spine
I'm tellin' everybody that you're mine, all mine
I believe (I believe), do believe (do believe), yeah believe (yeah believe)
Oh, believe, pretty baby, believe you're goin' steady with nobody else but me
SPOKEN: Oh, yeah!!
Well, I believe, do believe, yeah believe
Well, believe, pretty baby, believe you're goin' steady with nobody else but me

I been a-waitin' in school all day long a-waitin' on the bell to ring so I can go home
Throw my books on the table, pick up the telephone, "Hello, baby, let's get somethin' goin'"
Headin' down to the drugstore to get a soda pop,
Throw a nickel in the jukebox, then we start to rock
My school gal baby, gonna tell ya some news, You sure look good in them baby-doll shoes.
Well, it's a-one, two, a-pull off my shoes, three, four, get out on the floor
Five, six, come get your kicks down on the corner of Lincoln and a-Forty-six [Spoken: Yeah!]

MY BUCKET'S GOT A HOLE IN IT
Ricky Nelson

Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, I went upon a mountain
I looked down in the sea
I seen the crowds and the fishes
Doing the be bop beep
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, I'm standing on the corner
With a bucket in my hand
I'm a waitin' for a woman
That ain't got no man
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, me and my baby
We bought a Ford
And now we sit together
On the running board
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

It's late (it's late)
We gotta get on home
It's late (it's late)
We've been gone too long
Too bad (too bad)
We shoulda checked our time
Can't phone (can't phone)
We done spent ev'ry dime

There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
If I could take my pick of all the girls I've ever known
Then I'd come and pick you out to be my very own
A heart that's true and longs for you is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you as long as I may live
BRIDGE: I never will forget the way you kiss me
And when we're not together, I wonder if you've missed me
'cause I hope and pray the day will come when you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you how true my love can be
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
FADE
Mm, mm, mm

I GOT A FEELING
Ricky Nelson

Well I've got a feeling
That I'm gonna get you
Say I've got a little feeling
That it won't be long
Till I hold you in my arms and, baby,
that's where you belong
Well I've got a feeling
That you think about me
Well I've got a little feeling
and I hope it's true
'Cause nobody else could want you so
and love you like I do

Well I got a feeling
That our love was meant to be
And there's a whole wild world of happiness
Just waitin' for you and me
So why don't you tell me
That you love me only
'Cause I got a feeling
that you really do
And I never had this feeling
Till I fell in love with you

Sweeter Than You
Ricky Nelson Imperial X5595
(B. Knight) Hilliard Music Co.


I could never be loved by anyone sweeter than you
And I could never belong to anyone sweeter than you
With you to stand beside me I'll never be alone
And what more could I long for than to have you for my own

My only desire is loving you eternally
For no, no other love could ever mean so much to me
So if you say you love me forever I'll be true
And what more could I long for than to live my life {with you}

I could never be loved by anyone sweeter than you
And I could never belong to anyone {sweeter than you}

Young emotions are mixed emotions
For it's a world where love and confusion reign
A world of hope and laughter and tears and pain
At times a gentle breeze in a hurricane
A world full of doubt but love works it out
Young emotions are strange emotions
For though we're brave, sometimes we are so afraid
But knowing there are memories to be made
We'll face each new tomorrow, dear, undismayed
For our love will keep us together
And our love will help us to weather
These young emotions
For though we're brave, sometimes we are so afraid
But knowing there are memories to be made
We'll face each new tomorrow, dear, undismayed
For our love will keep us together
And our love will help us to weather
These young emotions

I wanna be loved with inspiration,
I wanna be loved starting tonight.
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight!
I wanna be loved, I crave affection,
Those kisses of yours, I'd gladly share,
I want your eyes to shine in my direction.
Make me care!
I want the kind of romance that should be strong
And equally as tender.
I only ask for the chance to knowthe meaning
Of the word surrender
I wanna be thrilled by only you, dear,
I wanna be thrilled by your caress.
I wanna find each dream of mine come true, dear,I wanna be loved!
I wanna be loved with inspiration,
I wanna be loved starting tonight.
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight!
I wanna be kissed until I tingle,
I wanna be kissed, starting tonight,
Embrace me till our heartbeats intermingle,
Wrong or right.
I'm in the mood to adore,
I'm ready for that well known turtle doving,
I'm in no mood to resist,
And I insist the world owes me a loving
I wanna be thrilled to desperation,
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight.
With ev'ry kind of wonderful sensation,
I wanna be loved!

CHORUS
You are the only one
My one and only one
Together we've had a lot of fun
But what'll I do if you leave me?

If someone else should come along
And take your love from me
Darlin', you could never know
How lonely I would be

CHORUS

I tried to be the kinda guy
You'd wanna call your own
So please don't go and throw away
The truest love you've known

CHORUS

What'll I do if you ever take your love from me?
'cause in your arms is where I always wanna be

If you should ever go away
My eyes would fill with tears
And the heartaches I would feel
Would last a thousand years

CHORUS

What'll I do if you leave me?
What'll I do if you leave me?

FADE
What'll I do if you leave me?
What'll I do if you leave me?
