Jim Reeves - Welcome To My World “The Best Of“ [compilation] (2010) by Jim Reeves (보컬) on maniadb.com

Welcome to my world.
Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in
Miracles I guess
Still happen now and then
Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind
Knock and the door will open
Seek and you will find
Ask and you will be given
The key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Lets pretend we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

Whisper to me tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go

You cant say the words I want to hear
While you're with another man
Do you you want me answer yes or no
Darling I will understand

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Lets pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you
He'll have to go

Adios amigo, adios my friend,
The road we have travelled has come to an end.
When two love the same love, one love has to lose,
And it's you who she longs for, it's you she will choose.

Adios compadre, what must be must be,
Remember to name one muchacho for me.
I ride to the Rio, where my life I must spend,
Adios amigo, adios my friend.

--- Instrumental while he whistles ---

Adios compadre, let us shed no tears,
May all your maanas bring joy through the years.
Away from these memories, my life I must spend,
Adios amigo, adios my friend...

--- Instrumental while he whistles to fade ---

I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go and you must stay

So Mary marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
Love me now for now is all the time there may be
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me

I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away
And if they call, then I must go
Across the sea, so wild and grey.

So Mary marry me, let's not wait
For the distant drums might change our wedding date
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me

There's a blizard coming on, how I'm wishing I was home,
For my pony's lame, and he can hardly stand.
Listen to that norther sigh, if we don't get home we'll die.
But, it's only seven miles to Mary Ann's.
It's only seven miles to Mary Ann's.

You can bet we're on her mind, for it's nearly supertime
And I'll bet there's hot bisquets in the pan.
Lord, my hands feel like there froze,
And there's a numbness in my toes.
But, it's only five more miles to Mary Ann's.
It's only five more miles to Mary Ann's.

That wind's howling and it seems
Mighty like a woman's scream.
And we'd best be moving faster if we can.
Dan just think about that barn,
With the hay so soft and warm.
For it's only more miles to Mary Ann's,
It's only three more miles to Mary Ann's.

Dan get up you ornery cuss, or you'll be the death of us.
I'm so weary, but I'll help you if I can.
Alright Dan, perhaps it's best, if we stop a while and rest.
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Ann's.

(Sang)
It's still a hundred yards to Mary Ann's.

Late that night the storm was gone,
They found him there at dawn.
He'd-a-made it but he just couldn't leave old Dan.
Yes, they found him there on the plains,
Hands froze to the reigns.
He was just a hundred yards form Mary Ann's.

(Sang)
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann's...

When all your loves have ended
When all your friends have flown
Who'll be around to want you
When all your loves have gone.

Only a fool would do it
After the way you've done
And how many fools would have you
I know one.

This fool keeps wondering why
He fell in love at all
But you might need this fool
Around in case you fall.

After the party's over
And you've had your fill of fun
If you need a fool to forgive you
I know one.

You never know you might be lonely
When all your loves have missed
It wouldn't hurt to keep
An extra fool on your list.

After your heart's been broken
And you need a place to run
If you'll take a fool who loves you
I know one. (yes)

I know one. (umm hum)
I know one...

I've been accused, convicted and condemned
The trial's over, and now I face the end,
Is this your way of telling me we're through
When all I'm guilty of, is loving you.

You were the judge, the jury all in one
You found me guilty and now my term's begun.
I must confess, I've never been untrue
And all I'm guilty of, is loving you.

Chorus:
Loving you, and now I'm losing you
Losing you, for things I didn't do.

Please let your heart, consider an appeal
For now you know, exactly how I feel.
Don't punish me for things I didn't do
When all I'm guilty of, is loving you.

Yes, all I'm guilty of, is loving you...

(Written by Roger Miller and Bill Anderson)

Your world was so different
From mine don't you see
We just couldn't be close
Though we tried.

We both reached for heavens
But ours weren't the same
That's what happens
When two worlds collide.

Your world was made up
Of things sweet and good
My world could never
Fit in, wish it could.

Two hearts lie in shambles
And oh. how they've cried
That's what happens
When two worlds collide

--- Instrumental ---

Your world was made up
Of things sweet and good
My world could never
Fit in, wish it could.

Two hearts lie in shambles
And oh. how they've cried
That's what happens
When two worlds collide...

Thought I'd stop by awhile and see you
Just once more before I leave town
But his car's parked there in your driveway
And I see the curtain's pulled down.

I won't bother to ring your doorbell
I'm not sure just how much I can bear
I might do something I'd be sorry for later
So I won't come in while he's there.

Does he know my whole world is in there with him
That he's king while he sits there in my chair
I'd like to tell you just how much I still love you
But I won't come in while he's there.

No, I won't come in while he's there...

I'm calling to tell you its over
Yes darling, you're now free to go.
You're saying you're sorry you hurt me
But you hurt me much more than you know.
You're asking me where this call comes from
Oh, I hope you won't end up here.
If your new romance turns out a failure,
Here's where you'll find me my dear.

chorus

I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops
On a bar stool, not doing so well.

The floor has a carpet of sorrows,
Yet no one can weep in the aisle.
And they say someone broke the bar mirror,
With only the ghost of a smile.
The hands on the clock never alter,
For things never change in this place.
There's no present, no past, no future,
We're the ones who have lost in loves race.

chorus

Back about eighteen hundred some
A Louisinan couple hade A redheaded son no name suited him the Jim Jack or Joe
They just called him Billy Bayou.
chourus
Billy BillyBayou watch where you go your walking on quicksand walk slow.
Billy,Billy Bayou what what you say A pretty girl will get you one of these days.

Bill was big for his size
red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
thirteen years form the day he was born
he fought the battle of the little big horn

repeat chourus

One sad day billy sed cried ho! ho!
I can whip the fathers of Geronmino
He got smart the cheif got mad
this nearly ended our louisiana lad

repeat chourus

one day in eighteen-sevenyeight
A pritty girl'll walked up to Bill's front
He did'ent know whether to stand or run
he wound up marred cose he did eather one

REPEAT CHOURUS

Pritty girl'll will get you one of these days

Out where the bright lights are glowing
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing
While I sit and whisper your name

Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Closing in on me

Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
But my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love not for hating
So here where you left me I'll stay

One night with you is like heaven
And so while I'm walking the floor
I listen for steps in the hallway
And wait for your knock on my door.

I'm just gettin' back from Juarez Mexico
And I'll tell you something I want you to know
My poor head is aching it throbs and it twirls
From drinking tequila and teasing the girls.

Don't get me wrong because I'm not complaining
I have no regrets I am only explaining
For all of you fellows that ain't had the thrill
A drinking tequila and teasing the girls.

Heeee ha
Happy tonight the maidens
Are dancing out in the moonlight
Heee ha
On top of the world
Drinking tequila and teasing the girls.

Moonlight and flowers make night so appealing
The breete from the garden comes tenderly stealing
A beautiful maiden then whispers your name
And suddenly both of your hearts are aflame.

Her dark eyes are gleamin' her raven hair shining
You pull her up closer your hearts are entwinning
Her warm lips are thrilling you're out of this world
From drinking tequila and teasing the girls.

If down in Juarez you should happen to be
The Cafe El Gusto's the place you should see
They claim that they have and I know it's so
The prettiest Dancers in old Mexico.

When Spanish maidens start squirmin' and dancin'
It's sure to set any young heart to romancin'
Your troubles get lighter your worries unfurl
While drinking tequila and teasing the girls.

Heeee ha
So happy tonight the maidens
Are dancing out in the moonlight
Heee ha
On top of the world
Drinking tequila and teasing the girls...

Someone told a story when
They said they saw you out again
But I know better
'Cause angels don't lie.

Wonder why they pick on you
Those friends even tell me to
But I don't listen
'Cause angels don't lie.

I convinced myself
That it can't be true
(Can't be true)
While ever you deny
I'll believe I love you.

I refuse to listen to
All those lies they tell on you
I know better
'Cause angels don't lie.

--- Instrumental ---

I convinced myself
It just can't be true
(Can't be true)
While ever you deny
I'll believe, I love you.

I refuse to listen to
All those lies they tell on you
I know better
'Cause angels don't lie...

I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you're you.

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

--- Instrumental ---

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness, you open wide.

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you...

South of the border, hey, I know a lad,
He's got more fun than anybody's had,
Don't got no worry, don't got no dough,
Everybody's wondering 'bout Mexican Joe.
In old Mexico, they call him the Rhumba King,
Leads all the women around on a string,
When they go out, they get a million thrills,
But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills.

Dancin', romancin',
Always on the go,
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe

He makes the night spots all along the bay,
People want to see him when he comes their way,
He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes,
Everyone shouts "Viva la Mexican Joe."
He likes to gamble, at poker he's an ace,
He's always lucky with the cards that got a face,
At winning the money, he is sure a whiz,
But when they win they don't collect
'cause they don't know where he is.

Dancin', romancin',
Always on the go,
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe

He don't no income tax 'cause he don't got no dough,
Still he gets along just fine, how we'll never know,
He's got everything he wants, a girl, a drink, a song,
If we use his formula, we surely can't go wrong.
His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls,
He's got that somethin' that sets their hearts a-whirl,
It couldn't be his money 'cause he ain't got a peso,
But when he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so

Dancin', romancin',
Always on the go,
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
