Oh, you said you wes my baby
Now I know that you're my baby But it seems to me you got rovin' eye If you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby You can't keep your finger in two different fire. I remember how you pleaded When you told me that you needed My lovin' I believe it without a doubt So if you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby And you gotta leave 'em kissin' cousins out. Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so If you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby And be nobody's baby but mine. --- Instrumental --- Now I heard there was another So I went and asked your mother If anybody hung around 'sides me She gave me no satisfaction So now I can't take no action But I think that I'll just hang around and see. If you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby And you gotta come to me and tell me so If you're gonna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby I'm tired of waitin' round so let me know. Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so If you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby And be nobody's baby but mine. You've gotta be nobody's baby but mine... |

Up above me are the sky
Like the twinkle in your eyes These things are the color of a blue. In the mail your letter came Sayin' you can take the looks the same? Blue must be the color of the blues. Bluebirds sitting in the tree Seems to sypathize with me For he's not singin' like he used to do. The pretty waters in the sink Feel as cold as you left me Yes, blue must be the color of the blues. There's a rainbow overhead With more blue than gold and red Blue must be the color angels chose. A blue dress you proudly wore When you left to return no more Blue must be the color of the blues. Blue days come and blue days go How I feel nobody knows Life is mighty empty without you. There's a blue note in each song That I sing since you're gone Yes blue must be the color of the blues... |

I gotta get up I gotta get goin' rain or shine sleetin' or snowin'
Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you Wander through woods climb a high mountain Love's in my heart like waters in a fountain Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you Cross the fire walk through river you'll be the taker and I'll be the giver I'll give you lovin' lovin' honey that's what I'll do Climb a big wall I'd tear into pieces I gotta get to your love and kisses Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you I can't stop praisin' the day I found you I'd walk a hundred miles just to be around you Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you Nothing at all nothing in the world can make me stop fallin' for you my girl friend Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you Cross the fire walk through river... |

Well I've come here to tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
I'm a tramp and a gambler I stay out late at night But a porterhouse steak steak three times a day for my board That's more than any loafer in this old town can afford Well I got big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep A little baby boy playin' rounds at my feet I'm a rambler and a gambler and I've lead a dirty life Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right Well then I got married I knew I'd settle down And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown Now I've got a family one that I'm proud of I know that I'll be happy cause they're the ones I love Well I got big electric fan... I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right I'm a rambler and a gambler I've lead a dirty life Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right |

In the papers I saw you this morning
You were lovely dressed in your wedding gown And it said you would marry a stranger, to me That had drifted into our old home town Accident'ly you met him one ev'ning And you say it was love at first sight Accident'ly on purpose you're marryin' Accident'ly on purpose, for spite For you say that you saw me out painting the town That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown Accident'ly you were mistaken that night Accident'ly on purpose, for spite Yes, you say that you saw me out painting the town That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown Accident'ly you were mistaken that night Accident'ly on purpose, for spite |

Chorus: Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman If I figured them all out 'twould take many years I once had a sweetheart, the fairest of maidens She outshined all others that I'd known by far I had a friend, a big fella, named big Harlan Taylor Harlan had a rubber-tired, new shiny car Chorus: Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman If I figured them all out 'twould take many years By the wants of a woman she fell for big Harlan I tried, but in vain, for to take my own life Suddenly I had lost all my will to keep livin' She lost her desire to become my young wife Chorus: Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman If I figured them all out 'twould take many years I wanted revenge and waylaid for big Harlan Then I started wondrin' what good would it do If a rubber-tired, new shiny car's her ambition Then she can just have it and big Harlan, too Chorus: Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman If I figured them all out 'twould take many years If I figured them all out it would take many years... |

Don't stop the music
Let it play one more song The same one that played But not for so long He's out with another I saw him tonight Sitting there close together He knows that's not right So, don't stop the music Let it play one more song The same one that played But not for so long My pockets are empty I've spent my last dime But I just got to hear it That song one more time Don't be mad at me mister I know that it's wrong But I want you to hear it The words of that song So, don't stop the music Don't make me go home I know she's not there And I cry all night long Don't stop the music Let it play one more song The same one that played But not for so long My pockets are empty I've spent my last dime But I just got to hear it That song one more time... |

Well, in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, But my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh... 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 my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin' Shhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, But my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff He took one s-slug and drank it right down And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, But my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'... |

Oh, the faucet started
Drippin' in the kitchen And last night your picture Fell down from the wall Today the boss said "Sorry, I can't use you anymore." And tonight the light bulb Went Out in the hall Chorus: Things have gone to pieces since you left me Nothing turns out half-right now it seems There ain't nothing in my pocket, But three nickels and a dime But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream Somebody threw a baseball Through my window And the arm fell off My fav'rite chair, again The man called me today and said, "He'd haul my things away If I didn't get my payments made by ten." Chorus: Things have gone to pieces since you left me Nothing turns out half-right now it seems There ain't nothing in my pocket, But three nickels and a dime But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream... |

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful That I may never shake Now you might say that I was taking it hard Since you wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and bawl Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting What the final results would be How I lived in fear of waking up each morning And finding that you'd gone from me There's aching and pain in my heart For the day was the one that I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I came out in second place Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all |

Darlin', there's talk around town
'Bout a girl who spreads love around Well softly Darling, say it's not you! They say that she comes in alone They say her self respect is gone That each night she leave with someone new Darlin', say it's not you! At first what they said didn't hurt me Until they mentioned her name Then slowly the tears overtook me 'Cause her name and yours is the same. Each night till the breaking of dawn I'm praying that your not one Tell me love, say it's not true Darlin', say it's not you! Darlin', say it's not you! |

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I rang her number by mistake today She thinks I still care. Just because I haunt the same old places Where the mem'ry of her lingers ev'rywhere Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be She thinks I still care. But if she's happy thinkin' I still need her Then let that silly notion bring her cheer But how could she ever be so foolish Oh, where would she get such an idea. Just because I ask a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I saw her then went all to pieces She thinks I still care. She thinks I still care... |

Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go Share all my my dreams with me, I need you so In life we search and some of us find I've looked for you a long, long time. And now that I've found you, New horizons I see Come take my hand And walk through this world with me. --- Instrumental --- Walk through this world with me, Go where I go Share all my dreams with me, I searched for you so. And now that I've found you, New horizons I see Come take my hand, And walk through this world with me. Come take my hand, And walk through this world with me... |

(by Don Chapel)
I'll be your when the grass grows over me. When you left I thought that I would soon get over you Even told myself that I would find somebody too Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me Chorus: Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me And as you look down at the cold Cold ground I'm sleeping in Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you 'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you Every minute of the night I'm hurting through and through And as long as I live I know I won't be free But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me Chorus: Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me And as you look down at the cold Cold ground I'm sleeping in Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then 'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me... |
