Dolly Parton [영화배우, 가수]

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
But I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, and yet I know
I'll think of you each step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bittersweet memories
That's all I have, and I'm taking with me
Goodbye, please don't you cry
Cause we both know, I'm not what you need

But, I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life (I hope life)
Treats you kind (treats you kind)
And I hope you have all you dream of
I wish you joy (I wish you joy)
And happiness (and happiness)
But above all this, I wish you love, oh

And I will always love you
I will always love you
Yes, I will always love you
I will always love you

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
But I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes

But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

Sometimes I go walkin' through the fields
Where we walked
long ago in the sweet used-to-be
and the flowers still grow
but they don't smell as sweet
as they did when you picked them for me
and when I think of you
and the love we once knew
how I wish we could go back in time
do you ever think back on old mem'ries like that
or do I cross your mind

Do you ever wake up lonely
In the middle of the night
Because you miss me, do you darlin'
Oh and do your mem'ries ever take you back
Into another place in time
And do you ever miss the feelings and the love
we shared when you were with me, do you darlin'
I just wonder do I cross your mind

Oh how often I wish that again I could kiss
Your sweet lips like I did long ago
How often I long for those two lovin' arms
That once held me so gentle and close

And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever recall these old mem'ries at all
Or do I ever cross your mind

Do you ever wake up lonely
In the middle of the night
Because you miss me, do you darlin'
Oh and do your mem'ries ever take you back
Into another place in time
And do you ever miss the feelings and the love
we shared when you were with me, do you darlin'
I just wonder do I cross your mind
Oh, do I ever cross your mind

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, and yet I know
I'll think of you each step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bittersweet memories
That's all I have, and I'm taking with me
Goodbye, please don't you cry
Cause we both know, I'm not what you need

But, I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life (I hope life)
Treats you kind (treats you kind)
And I hope you have all you dream of
I wish you joy (I wish you joy)
And happiness (and happiness)
But above all this, I wish you love, oh

And I will always love you
I will always love you
Yes, I will always love you
I will always love you

An old man was sitting at his table one day
Writing a letter to pass time away
His little granddaughter climbed up on his knee
Saying won't you please write a letter for me
Oh what must I say in this letter I pray
Tell mommy I miss her since she went away
I coming to see her real soon I hope
He choked back a big lump that rose in his throat

He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope
To God up in heaven you'll get it I hope
He stamped it and handed it to her to mail
Her big eyes were shining her little face pale

She was crossing the street to the box o'er the way
And when she stepped out never looked either way
A big auto hit her and sped away fast
The little girls prayers had been answered at last

The postman was passing and picked up the note
Addressed to the Master and these words he spoke
Straight up into heaven this letter did go
She's happy up there with her mommy I know

It's been a long dark night
And I've been a waitin' for the morning
It's been a long hard fight
But I see a brand new day a dawning
I've been looking for the sunshine
'Cause I ain't seen it in so long
But everything's gonna work out just fine
Everything's gonna be all right
That's been all wrong

'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

It's been a long long time
Since I've known the taste of freedom
And those clinging vines
That had me bound, well I don't need 'em

'Cause I am strong and I can prove it
And I got my dreams to see me through
It's just a mountain, I can move it
And with faith enough there's nothing I can't do


And I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And I can see the light of brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

I can see the light
I can see the light

It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right

Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonesome
I wonder why mommy don't come
She told me to shut up my blue eyes
And before I woke up she'd be home

She said she was going to see Grandma
Who lives by the river so wide
And I guess my mommy fell in there
And perhaps she won't be home tonight

So I guess I'll go down and meet daddy
Perhaps he has stopped at the store
It's a great big store full of bottles
And I wish he wouldn't go there anymore

So out in the night with the baby
Her little heart beating with pride
'Til her tired feet entered the gin palace
With music all radiant with light

Oh daddy she cried as she reached him
I think that the music's so sweet
But it's almost suppertime daddy
Little blossom wants something to eat

A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly
Down into her face sweet and fair
And as the demon possessed him
He grasped at the back of a chair

A moment a second was over
He lifted her fair golden head
A moment the baby's life trembled
Then poor little blossom was dead

Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog-a-barkin'.
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a knockin'.
I wondered who could be outside in such an awful storm.
Then I saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms.

Before I could say a word she said,
"My name is Sandy. And this here is my puppy dog,
it's name is little Andy."
Standing in the bitter cold in just a ragged dress.
Then I asked her to come in and this is what she said.

"Ain't ya got no gingerbread? Ain't ya got no candy?
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy?

Patty cake, a baker's man, my mommy ran away again.
We was all alone and didn't know what else to do,
I wondered if you'd let us stay with you.

Giddyup Charlie horse, going to the mill.
Can we stay all night?
If you don't love us, no one will, I promise we won't cry!
London Bridge is falling down, my daddy's drunk again in town.
We was all alone and didn't know what we could do.
We wondered if you'd let us stay with you."

She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven.
That night as they slept the angels took them both to heaven.
God knew little Andy would be lonesome with her gone.
Now Sandy and her puppy dog won't ever be alone.

"Ain't ya got no gingerbread? Ain't ya got no candy?
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy."

Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
Chorus:

In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings
An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

Repeat Chorus

Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands

Repeat Chorus

Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love

Pullin' my pig tails makes me mad
When you kiss me, makes me glad
You turn to leave and make me sad
Still you're the sweetest sweetheart I've ever had

Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love

Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love

Sometimes you won't even carry my books
The next time you'll see me you'll rag on my looks
You're meaner to me than a mean ole crook
And I must confess I'm really hooked

Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love

Please release me, let me go
'Cause I don't love you anymore
And to live without love is a sin
So release me and let me love again
I have found a new love, dear
And I'll always want him near
His lips are warm while yours are cold
So release me, my darlin' let me go

Oh please release me, let me go
'Cause I just won't love you anymore
And to live together we both know is a sin
So release me, release me and let me love again

Oh, please, please, please, please
Release me, let me go
'Cause I, I don't love you anymore
And to live together is a sin
So release me and let me love again

Oh, please release me, let me go
I don't love you anymore
And to live together is a sin
So release me and let me love again

Two little children a boy and a girl
Sat by and old church door
The little girls feet were as brown as the curl
That fell on the dress that she wore

The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn
They shone beneath his blue eyes
Why don't you go home to your mommy I said
And this was the maidens reply

Mommy's is heaven angels took her away
Left Jim and I all alone
We've no one to love us daddy is dead
And our darling mother is gone

Mommy got sick angels took her away
To dwell in those matins so bright
She said she would come for her children someday
And I guess she's coming tonight

The sexton came early to ring the church bell
And found them beneath the snow white
The angels made room for the orphans to dwell
Up in heaven with their mommy that night

(Dolly Parton)

Oh, you're out there tonight with another
And my pain is so dreadfully sharp.
I picture you with her and shudder,
It's like a dagger through the heart

Do you think that my feelings don't matter,
Or your cheatin' or hurtful remarks
When you leave me all broken and shattered
It's like a dagger through the heart

Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'
When you've made hurtin' me such an art,
Tossed around like a used box of crayons,
It's like a dagger through the heart


Oh, you cut me to pieces so often
Like a knife or a poisonous dart
I would be better off in my coffin,
It's like a dagger through the heart

Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'
When you've made hurtin' me such an art,
Tossed around like a used box of crayons,
It's like a dagger through the heart

Like a dagger through the heart, through the heart

Halos and horns, sinners and saints
Hearts that are torn between what's wrong and ain't
Just because it feels right does not make it so
So we struggle through life in horns and halos

Tempted and tried with each step we take
We stumble and slide and make our mistakes
Ask God to forgive us for all of our sins
Then we take off our horns and wear halos again

Halos and horns, sinners and saints
Hearts that are torn between what's wrong and ain't
Just because it feels right does not make it so
So we struggle through life in horns and halos

Halos and horns, sinners and saints
We're praised or we're scorned, we either run or we faint
Oh, but life is a challenge from the day that we're born
Just tryin' to balance halos and horns
It's heaven or hell, halos or horns

Halos and horns, sinners and saints
Hearts that are torn between what's wrong and ain't
But just because it feels right; well, that don't make it so
So we struggle through life in horns or halos
It's either horns or halos

Chorus:
Hello God, are you out there?
Can you hear me, are you listenin' any more?
Hello God, if we're still on speakin' terms
Can you help me like before?
I have questioned your existence,
My resistance leaves me cold
Can you help me go the distance?
Hello God, hello, hello

Verse 1:

This old world has gone to pieces
Can we fix it, is there time?
Hate and violence just increases
We're so selfish, cruel and blind
We fight and kill each other
In your name, defending you
Do you love some more than others?
We're so lost and confused

Chorus:

Hello God, are you out there?
Can you hear us, are you listenin' any more?
Hello God, if we're still on speakin' terms
Can you help us like before?
Oh, the free will you have given
We have made a mockery of
This is no way to be livin',
We're in great need of your love
Hello God

Chorus:

Hello God, can you grant us
Love enough to make amends
(Hello God) Is there still a chance
That we could start again
Hello God, we've learned our lesson
Dear God, don't let us go
More than ever
Hello God, hello, hello
Hello God, we really need you
We can't make it without you
(Hello God) We beseech you
In the name of all that's true
Hello God, please forgive us
For we know not what we do

Tag:

Hello God, give us one more chance to prove ourselves to you
Hello, God; hello, God

Verse 1:
Some chewing gum and candy, some magazines and snacks,
Some startin' over money that I've been holdin' back,
A change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long
A one-way ticket sayin' good-bye to everything
Threw my weddin' band out the window of the train
All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name
I'm movin' on 'cause I'm gone

1st Chorus:

You can tell the truth or you can lie
You can say I left you or I died
Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest
And could spend years lookin' for the light
Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I.,
Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home
You can say what you chose, but I tell you the truth
You can say for sure I'm gone, 'cause I'm gone

Verse 2:

You think that you're above me, like I'm not good enough
You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved
You're selfish, vain and greedy; you're hateful, rude and rough
And you're so wrong
But you'd rather live unhappy and tolerate the pain
Than separate and have me takin' half of everything
Well, I'm leavin' your possessions, left on the good-bye train,
Left you alone 'cause I'm gone

2nd Chorus:

You can have the house, the car, the boat,
My records, books and stereo,
The dog and the cat, my ceramic shop out back,
My doll collection and my clothes
You can keep all our friends and all the pictures in the den,
And the fluffy pillows you sleep on
But when you lay your head on that big feather bed
You can rest assured I'll be gone; I'll be gone

3rd Chorus:

You can tell the truth or you can lie
You can say I left or I died
Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest
And could spend years lookin' for the light
Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I.
Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home
Well, you can say what you chose, but I tell you the truth
You can say for sure I'm gone
You can say what you like, but I'll tell you twice
You can say for sure, say for sure I'm gone, gone

Repeat 1st Verse:

Some chewing gum and candy, magazines and snacks,
Startin' over money I've been holding back,
Change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long
I got a one-way ticket sayin' good-bye to everything
I threw my weddin' band out of the window of the train
All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name
I'm moving on 'cause I'm gone
Oh, I'm gone, gone, gone; I'm gone
I'm so gone, I'm gone; gone, I'm gone

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show
The you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me
If I could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today,
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away
(Turnaround)

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
'Cause the words could never show
The you I've come to know
And one by one the stars will all go out,
But you and I will simply fly away
We'll fly away

Verse 1:
The word "If", just two tiny letters
Says so much for something so small
The biggest little word in existence;
Never answers, just questions us all

1st Chorus:

If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam
If I'd loved you better, I wouldn't be lonely
If only, if only, if only

Verse 2:

But looking back now I see clearly
With my twenty-twenty hindsight
Oh, but don't think I haven't paid dearly,
'Cause you could be in my arms tonight

2nd Chorus:

If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam
How I let you go, I swear is beyond me
But if only; ah, if only; oh, if only

3rd Chorus:

I could start over, if I could go back
Have the power to change things
Then I would do that
But I listened to others like a fool,
Oh, shame on me

Tag:

But if only you would just come back
If only, dare I even ask
Oh, if only

Verse 1:
John Daniel came to town one summer afternoon
Wearin' dirty work clothes so everyone presumed
He was just another logger from the loggin' camp nearby
And he was, but there was somethin' different in John Daniel's eyes

Verse 2:

John Daniel was a young man, not more than twenty-four
And there was an air about him that one could not ignore
And in spite of callused hands & dirty clothes, his face was kind
And I wanted so to know what was in John Daniel's mind

1st Chorus:

John Daniel, tell me where did you come from; tell me where is it you've been
John Daniel, tell me why are you different from all of these other men
John Daniel, there's somethin' about you that I don't quite understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan?

Verse 3:

I rented him a room; he went upstairs like all the rest
It was Saturday and he'd be goin' in to town, I guessed
But he left in a robe and sandals, with a Bible in his hand;
And I thought to myself, John Daniel, I don't understand

Verse 4:

Now I'd planned to meet some friends of mine when I got off at three,
In the park we often gather to talk of love and peace
When I got there I found that a crowd had gathered 'round;
And there I saw John Daniel a sittin' on the ground

2nd Chorus:

John Daniel, tell me where did you come from; tell me where is it you've been
John Daniel, tell me why are you different from all of these other men
John Daniel, there's somethin' about you that I don't quite understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan?

Verse 5:

So, "You want to be free," he said, "Well, this is how you can."
As he read from the Bible he held in his hand
We were searchin' for the truth not knowin' where to look,
Not knowin' that the answers all were in John Daniel's book

Verse 6:

John Daniel told us all how we could be free
John Daniel taught us all a better way for you and me
He came to us in our own way so we'd be sure to see
He had the light and essence of the man from Galilee

3rd Chorus:

John Daniel, tell me where did you come from; tell me where is it you've been
John Daniel, tell me why are you different from all of these other men
John Daniel, there's something about you that I don't quite understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan?

Tag:

John Daniel, John Daniel, John Daniel
John Daniel do you hold the answer to a higher plan?
John Daniel came to town one summer afternoon
Wearin' dirty work clothes so everyone presumed
He was just another logger from the loggin' camp nearby
And he was, but there was somethin' different in John Daniel's eyes
Ooh, John Daniel, tell me where did you come from
Tell me where is it you've been
John Daniel, tell me why are you different from all of these other men
John Daniel, there's something about you that I don't quite understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan?

(Dolly Parton)

Birds sing for everyone but me, for me it rains
And I can't hear the music for the pain
I see such happiness for some, but not for me

With love, I always try so hard to get it right
I find it gone just when I think I might
Regretfully I see it last for some, but not for me

Out of reach of all the things I want to have and hold
I've come to just accept that's how it goes
I've come so close


Not for me, it's not for me to question, I suppose
But I keep wonderin' what the future holds
Why must it be?
That life's so sweet for some, but not for me

Birds sing for everyone but me, for me it rains
And I can't see the sunshine for the pain
But I see such happiness for some, but not for me

For me it rains, there's only pain
It's not for me

Verse 1:
There will come a day when sorrow fades away,
And anguish and heartache shall ease,
No mothers cryin', no soldiers dyin',
And turmoil and misery shall cease.

Verse 2:

The hungry shall be fed, the aimless shall be led
And sad eyes will no longer weep,
The last shall be first, through heaven he'll burst
With his heavenly host from the East

1st Chorus:

Weapons to plowshares, hate turns to love,
Descending from heaven he'll sweep down to us
In radiant splendor; oh, won't it be sweet
When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace
(Raven dove)

Verse 3:

Oh, there will come a day when I'll fly away
Forever to be in his keep
Eternal life in the sweet by and by
When raven dove, raven dove speaks

2nd Chorus:

When lambs walk with lions, a child tames the beast
Nations shall gather and bow at his feet
And loved ones shall rise up from their earthly sleep
And he'll separate all the chaff from the wheat.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, how sweet
When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace

Raven dove, behold he cometh in the clouds
And every eye shall see him
Sweet bird, sweet bird of peace
Raven Dove

I used to sit for hours as a kid
And dangle my feet from an old flat bridge
Seeing myself in the water below
Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw
Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw
Long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

I'm far from perfect but I ain't all bad
And it hurts me more than it makes me mad
We all do things that we don't want told
And we all throw stones that we shouldn't throw
You shatter my image with the rocks you throw

Long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

If you live in a glass house don't throw stones
Don't shatter my image 'til you look at your own
Look at your reflection in your house of glass
Don't open my closet if your own's full of trash
Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash

Long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

Shatter my image with the rocks you throw
Don't shatter my image with the rocks you throw

(Jimmy Page/Robert Plant)

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed,
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Oh-oh, makes me wonder. I wonder; I really, really wonder
There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leavin'
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand lookin'
Ooh.
It's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason,
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now.
It's just a spring clean for the May queen


Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still some time to change the road you're on
Oh, it makes me wonder
Your head is hummin' and it won't go in case you don't know,
The piper's callin' you to join him
Oh, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know your stairway lies upon the whisperin' wind
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven
You can't buy it, you can't borrow
You've got to walk it straight and narrow
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven
And as we walk on down the road
Our shadows longer than our souls,
All that glitters is not gold
Wanna be a rock and not a roll
Oh, the great almighty dollar leaves you lonely, lost and hollow
You can't fool yourself forever
You gotta work to get to heaven
Stairway to heaven.
If we listen and hold fast
To every question that we asked
The truth will come to us at last
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Verse 1:
Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walkin'
Hand in hand while the south wind blowed
Bob whites callin', black crows cawkin',
Countin' the warts on a toad in the road
Down in the mill pond swimming naked
Showin' more than we should have showed
We were just kids explorin' nature
Learning more than we should have knowed

Chorus:

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountainside
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than candy and cake and pie

Verse 2:

A yellow dress slipping off of my shoulder
Seein' myself in the looking glass
Older now and a little bit bolder
Thinkin' about our summers past
Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walkin'
Hand in hand up the mountainside
Teenage lovers plannin' and talkin'
Dreamin' of a future for you and I

2nd Chorus:

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealin' sugar on the mountain top
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than ice cream and soda pop

(Turnaround)

Verse 3:

Years have past, we're married with children
Our days are happy and our memories fond
We still find it quite appealin'
To go to Sugar Hill and swim naked in the pond

3rd Chorus:

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealin' sugar on the mountaintop
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than ice cream and soda pop

Chorus Rounds:

1st Round:

Up on Sugar Hill there's a wealth of treasure
Down it's memory lane I go walking still
What it means to me is more than I can measure
Golden moments up on Sugar Hill

2nd Round:

Up on Sugar Hill with the fireflies glowing
Sound of katydids and the whipperwill
Honeysuckle blooming and a mountainstream is flowing
A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill

3rd Round:

Up On Sugar Hill with the bobwhite´s calling
Black crows cawkin', and the soft wind blows
Up on Sugar Hill there are love birds talkin'
Up on Sugar Hill where the good times roll

Chorus:

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountainside
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than candy and cakes and pies

A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill

These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
Verse 1:

Oh, she lived up on the mountain
Eleven miles or so from town
With a one-eyed cat named Wink,
A billy goat and a blue tick hound
Her graying hair was braided
And wrapped around her head
And her dress was long and faded
And her home a rusty shed

Verse 2:

In a little pouch of burlap
Tied with a piece of twine
There were bones all shapes and sizes
Gathered through the course of time
She'd throw them out before you
She swore that she could see
The present, past and future
She could read your destiny

Verse 3:

Everybody knew about her
Came to get their fortune read
Concerning health and wealth and power
Who to love and when to wed
Well, I just like helping people
I'm just glad that I can help
Why, I know everybody's secrets
But I keep it to myself

2nd Chorus:

These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds

Verse 4:
Some called her witchy woman
Some said she was insane
Some said she was a prophet
Still everybody came
Just because a body´s different
Well, that don't make 'em mad
Well, they've crucified a many
For the special gifts they've had

Verse 5:

I had often heard about her,
Dreamed about her now and then
For I, too, was clairvoyant,
Came about when I was ten
I was fascinated with her
And the things I'd heard about
And I knew some day I'd meet her,
And one day it came about

Verse 6:

Well, I know'd that you 'uz a'comin'
I could feel it in my bones
These old bones have also told me
That I won't be here for long
Did you know that you are adopted?
Did you know you once was mine?
But the county took you from me,
Said I wasn't right in mind

Verse 7:

But I just know'd I had to see you
'Fore these bones was laid to rest
So I conjured up a message
It must have worked, I guess
This gift runs in the family
I know you also know
And I passed this gift on to you
These old bones, they're just for show

3rd Chorus:

These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
How to live and when you'll die
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds

Verse 8:

I held her hand while she was dying
And with the funeral through
I headed on back up the mountain
For Billy, Wink and Blue
And that little pouch of burlap
With those bones so worn and old
She gave me something special
Now every time I throw

4th Chorus:

These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in how they scatter
Tells you what the future holds

Ad libs:

Now I can't tell you what you want to hear
I just tell you what I see
It's these old bones are talking
Blame it on them; don't pack it on me
It's just like that time that there boy died
Up at the sawmill
Well, I know'd who done it, but I never said
And I know'd when somebody is a cheating
Or when somebody's baby was gonna be born dead
But unless somebody just plain out and asked me
Well, I just figured there ain't no point going around acting like you know everything, just 'cause you might.
Ah, you know, girl, I want you to take these bones
'Cause I don't want no young and of mine are going around unprepared
You just remember that the magic is inside you
There ain't no crystal ball

(Dolly Parton)

I thought I saw the promise of forever in your eyes
I thought that I was sure of what I saw
You led me to believe that I was special in your life
So I left my heart wide open for the fall

I thought I'd found a safe and loving place inside your heart;
And I was warm and willing any time
The same soft lips that kissed me sweet were lying from the start
But I swear I thought your love was genuine
What a heartache you turned out to be

What a heartache, what a heartache,
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Oh, what a heartache, what a heart break,
Love ain't always what it appears to be
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be

It just goes to show that you never can tell
'Cause I really thought that I knew you well
I still can't believe I could be deceived so easily


Are all these wishes I'm wishin' to myself
Just rusty coins in a wishin' well?
Wishes come true, they come false as well
It's too late for you and me
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be

What a heartache, what a heartache,
Love is two-faced and easy to deceive
Oh, what a heartache, what a heartache,
What a mistake to think I could believe
What a heartache, what a heartache,
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Ooh, what a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache, what a heartache,
What a heartache, what a heartache,
What a heartache.
Ooh, what a heartache you turned out to be
Ooh, what a heartache
Oh, what a heartache,
What a heart break you turned out to be

I grew up poor and ragged, just a simple country girl
I wanted to be pretty more than anything in the world
Like Barbie or the models in the Fredricks' catalog
From rags to wishes in my dreams I could have it all

I'm just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair
Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the goods are not all there
Don't let these false eyelashes lead you to believe that
I'm as shallow as I look 'cause I run true and deep

I've always been misunderstood because of how I look
Don't judge me by the cover 'cause I'm a real good book
So read into it what you will, but see me as I am
The way I look is just a country girl's idea of glam

I'm just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels
I might look artificial, but where it counts I'm real
And I'm all dolled up and hopin' for a chance to prove my worth
And even backwoods Barbie's get their feelings hurt

I'm just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair
Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the goods are not all there
Yes, I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance
But even backwoods Barbie's deserve a second chance
I'm just a backwoods Barbie just asking for a chance

People always comin' up to me and askin'
"Dolly, what's your secret?
With all you do, your attitude
Just seems to be so good
How do you keep it?"
Well I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try
To offer up a few words of advice
Chorus:

You better get to livin', givin'
Don't forget to throw in a little forgivin'
And lovin' on the way
You better get to knowin', showin'
A little bit more concerned about where you're goin'
Just a word unto the wise
You better get to livin'

A girlfriend came to my house
Started cryin' on my shoulder Sunday evening
She was spinnin' such a sad tale
I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin'
So negative the words she had to say
I said if I had a violin I'd play

I said you'd better get to livin', givin'
Be willing and forgivin'
Cause all healing has to start with you
You better stop whining, pining
Get your dreams in line
And then just shine, design, refine
Until they come true
And you better get to livin'

Your life's a wreck, your house is mess
And your wardrobe way outdated
All your plans just keep on falling through
Overweight and under paid, under appreciated
I'm no guru, but I'll tell you
This I know is true

You better get to livin', givin'
A little more thought about bein'
A little more willin' to make a better way
Don't sweat the small stuff
Keep your chin up
Just hang tough
And if it gets too rough
Fall on your knees and pray
And do that everyday
Then you'll get to livin'

The day we're born we start to die
Don't waste one minute of this life
Get to livin'
Share your dreams and share your laughter
Make some points for the great hereafter

Better start carin'
Better start sharin'
Better start tryin'
Better start smiling
And you better get to livin'

You ask me not to wear cologne
She'll know you've been with me alone
And you can't take our secret home
So you ask me not to wear cologne

You can wipe the make up off
The lipstick or a little gloss
But fragrance lingers on and on
So you ask me not to wear cologne

You leave my bed and go to hers
Leaving me alone and hurt
I love you whether right or wrong
And you ask me not to wear cologne

I'm not out to hurt someone
Not you, not her, not any one
But I've got heartaches of my own
Why, I can't even wear cologne

Oh but I never meant for this to be
It wasn't in my heart to cheat
Love has a nature all it's own
So I willingly gave up cologne

And every time you come to me
I realize I'm in too deep
I know you love us both and I keep holding on
You ask me not to wear cologne
You say, "Don't wear cologne"

Oh now what am I ever gonna do
Cause I am so in love with you
I know you love us both
But where do I belong
You ask me not to wear cologne

You ask me not to wear cologne
She'll know you've been with me alone
And you can't take our secret home
So you ask me not to wear cologne

How do I walk away from the greatest love I've known
You ask me not to wear cologne
Oh you ask me not to wear cologne

You ask me not to wear cologne
She'll know you've been with me alone
And I'm a scent you can't take home

Oh, you drive me crazy

I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real
Tell you what I got in mind
Cause we're runnin' out of time
Just turn loose and let it be
This waitin' 'round is killin' me

You drive me crazy like no one else
You drive me crazy and I can't help myself

I can't get any rest
People say that I'm obsessed
You're everything I want in life
But to me that's no surprise
And what I have I'll give to you
I hope you feel the same way, too

Cause you drive me crazy
Like no one else
You drive me crazy and I can't help myself

I won't make it on my own
No one likes to be alone
You drive me crazy, yes it's true
I'd give it all up just to be with you

Cause you drive me crazy like no one else
Oh, you drive me crazy and I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Oh, you drive me crazy like no one else
You drive me crazy and I can't help myself

Oh, you drive me crazy like no one else
Oh, you drive me crazy and I can't help myself

Oh, you drive me crazy like nobody else
You drive me crazy, can't help myself
I'm gonna hold you all night long
And I'm gonna love you 'til the cows come home
Drive me crazy like a rock in my shoe
I can't keep my mind off-a you
Drive me crazy and that's a fact
You're the one that's a makin' me feel like that

You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy, I'm a lunatic
I'd do anything for your sweet kiss
Drive me crazy, can't help myself
Drive me crazy like nobody else
You drive me crazy

I used to love it when roses would come
The card always read, "You're my number one"
But love never goes the way one supposes
And I will forever hate roses

You sent me roses, I thought it was nice
Opened the card and it read, "goodbye"
You're movin' on as this chapter closes
And I will forever hate roses

I'll never see a rose from now on
That will not remind me that you're really gone
Don't trust the rose for the danger it poses
I will forever hate roses

The fragrance of roses will last throughout time
Their beauty will linger, but not in my mind
No, I'll love the daisies, the tulips, the posies
But I will forever hate roses

And I'll never see a rose from now own
That will not remind me that you're really gone
Oh, and don't trust the rose for the pain it imposes
I will forever hate roses
Now you're movin' on as this chapter closes
And I will forever hate roses

Another sleepless night alone
Crazy from this jealousy
I heard you call her on the phone
Watched you shave and dress and leave
Walked the floor and watched the clock
Knowing that you ain't missing me
Imagination runnin' hot
And you're right where you wanna be

Do you think I'm made of stone
Do you think it doesn't hurt
When you leave me here alone
Leaving me to think the worst
And when you're out there in her arms
'Til the wee hours of the dawn
Do you think it's all a joke
Can't you see my heart is broke
Do you think I'm made of stone

I'm just barely gettin' 'round
Don't know how I'm getting by
All our friends I meet in town
They just can't look me in the eye
They all know you're runnin' 'round
Like me, they don't know what to do
God, I hate their sympathy
But I just can't turn loose of you

But do you think I'm made of stone
Don't you know my pain is real
It's the worst I've ever known
Just stayin' at an even keel
Oh, what am I supposed to do
While you cheat and carry on
I should leave, I know I should
I just only wish I could
Do you think I'm made of stone

Oh, it cuts me like a knife
You have stripped me of my pride
What am I supposed to do
While you cheat and carry on
Do you think it's all a joke
Can't you see my heart is broke
Do you think I'm made of stone

Another sleepless night alone

Oh I know, I'm only dreaming.
'Cos I'll awake, and you'll be gone.
And my tears will still be streaming.
As my broken, heart beats on.

Yes I know, I'm only dreaming.
But I'll just, keep dreaming on.
I will dream about the pleasures.
That we shared in days gone by.

And I'll remember and I'll treasure,
Every kiss and your kind eyes.
And I will dream that you still hold me,
In your arms as you did then.

And I recall each thing you told me,
Hear your voice as I did then.
Yes I know, I'm only dreaming.
But I'll dream, and I will too.

I'll be here, and I'll be waiting,
And I will dream, of your return.
Some will say I'm being foolish,
While some will say that I'm just blind.

And that I want to face what the truth is
That you are, no longer mine.
But I will dream, your brave retallion
To some sweet day, to their surprise.
You will say your love's still burning,
You'll dry each tear drop from my eyes.

But I know, I'm only dreaming,
Cause I'll awake and be alone.
And my tears will still be streaming,
And you will still be just as gone.

Yes I know I'm only dreaming,
But I must keep dreaming...on

You got a snazzy new car in your driveway
Expensive new clothes on your back
Every short skirt on the highway
Has spent time in your bachelor pad

We dance and you look over my shoulder
And make eyes at somebody else
You swear that you're not, but you know that's a croc
Cause you only care for yourself

Your attitude stinks and I hate it
You're arrogant, cocky, and rude
You're selfish, conceited, and jaded
Everything's all about you
You think that I'm lucky to have you
You think you're so handsome, so what
I'm callin' you out cause I don't need this crap
I'm gettin' myself outta Dodge

Cause you don't know love from Shinola
With you love is not what I found
A woman needs someone to hold her
Not someone to just lay her down
I want someone I can count on
A cool headed, warm heart and shoulder
To cry on, rely on, today and from now on
But you don't know love from Shinola

You don't know love from Shinola

Oh but I gave you love and affection
But you never gave one iota
It was an early detection
That you don't know love from Shinola

You don't know love from shinola
You don't know what true loves about

Well you'll find your world growin' colder
When you're alone and without
So go on, lover boy, have a big time
Drink up on your Bourbon and cola
When you sober up you'll be *beep* outta luck
Cause you don't know love from Shinola

I'm in it for love, but you're just plain stuck
You don't know love from Shinola

You don't know love, you don't know love
You don't know love from Shinola
No, you don't know love from Shinola
You don't know love, you don't know love

I just wanna be somebody's everything

You say I've seen too many movies,watched way too much TV
Read too many fairy tales that I live and make believe
You say the kind of love I'm dreamin' of does not exist
And there's no one like I'm searching for
Well I believe there is

And I want someone to come alive when they lay eyes on me
Have a lust within thier touch, a passion far beyond belief
Reality and fantasy should be one in the same
And I want to be somebody's everything

I refuse to settle for someting less than great
And if it takes a lifetime, then that's how long I'll wait
Cause all I want is everything
Is that too much to ask?
Have romance, love, and passion
Find magic that will last

And I want someone to think they're dyin' if they can't be with me
I want to be their joy, their pride, their dreams, the very air they breathe
I'd like to wake up feeling loved and go to bed the same
Yes, I want to be somebody's everything
Somebody's everything

Oh, I want someone to come alive when they lay eyes on me
Have a lust within thier touch, a passion far beyond belief
I'd like to wake up feeling loved and go to bed the same
Yes, I want to be somebody's everything

Someone to hold me close and tremble when the lovin's done
Think it's Heaven, call me Angel, think I hung the moon and sun
Get misty-eyed just knowin' we're the love song people sing
Yes, I want to be somebody's everything
And I want to be somebody's everything

I wanna be, I'm gonna be somebody's everything
I wanna be, I wanna be somebody's everything
Somebody's everything
Somebody's everything
Yes, I wanna be, I'm gonna be somebody's everything

My heart's as heavy as an anvil
My tears are puddled in my eyes
And time seems to be at a standstill
I've really got the lonesomes tonight
Feels like I'm never gonna make it
I'd like to lie right down and die
It's so very hard to fake it
I've really got the lonesomes tonight

Just like that old song by Hank Williams
I am so lonesome I could cry
Can't seem to shake these sad old feelin's
I've really got the lonesomes tonight
Cause I've really got the lonesomes tonight

Oooh, I'm pretty sad

Oh, I hope tomorrow will ring truer
And I'll awake and I will be all right
But right now I couldn't feel much bluer
Can't shake these lonely memories inside

Oh, but my heart's as heavy as an anvil
And my tears are all puddled in my eyes
My mind has really got its hands full
I've really got the lonesomes tonight
You got that right
I've really got the lonesomes tonight
But I'll be all right
I've really got the lonesomes tonight

Now, people say I'm the life of the party
'cause I'll tell a joke or two.
Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty,
Deep down inside I'm blue.
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you'll look closer,
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.

I need you, need you.
But since you left me if you see me with another guy,
Seemin' like I'm havin' fun.
He might look good it's true
But he's a substitute 'cause you were the perfect one.

So take a good look at my face.
You'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer,
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.

I need you, I need you.
Outside I'm masqueradin',
'cause inside my hope is fading.
Like a clown since you put me down,
And my smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you.

So take a good look at my face.
You'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer,
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.

Oh, just take a good look at my face.
You'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer,
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears

He Lived By the Apple Orchard in This Little Orchard Shack
His Real Name Was Jackson Taylor But I Called Him Applejack
Now Old Applejack Was Loved By Everyone He Ever Knew
Applejack Picked Apples But He Picked the Banjo Too
Play a Song For Me Applejack, Applejack
Play a Song For Me and I'll Sing
Play a Song For Me Applejack, Applejack
Play a Song, Let Your Banjo Ring
Now I'd Go Down to Applejack's Almost Everyday
We'd Sit and We'd Drink Applejack
That Old Applejack Had Made
Then He'd Take His Banjo Down
Then He'd Ask Me If I'd Sing
And He Would Play the Banjo and I'd Play My Tambourine

Play a Song For Me Applejack, Applejack
Play a Song, Let Your Banjo Ring


That's When I Was Just a Kid and Now That I Am Grown
All I Have Are Memories, Old Applejack Is Gone
Oh But He Left Me His Banjo and It Always Takes Me Back
And Everytime I Play It I Still Hear Applejack
Play a Song For Me Applejack, Applejack
Play a Song For Me and I'll Sing
Play a Song For Me Applejack, Applejack
Play a Song, Let Your Banjo Ring
Play a Song For Me Applejack, Applejack
Play a Song For Me and I'll Sing

Back Through the Years
I Go Wonderin' Once Again
Back to the Seasons of My Youth
I Recall a Box of Rags That Someone Gave Us
And How My Momma Put the Rags to Use
There Were Rags of Many Colors
Every Piece Was Small
And I Didn't Have a Coat
And It Was Way Down in the Fall
Momma Sewed the Rags Together
Sewin' Every Piece With Love
She Made My Coat of Many Colors
That I Was So Proud Of
As She Sewed, She Told a Story
From the Bible, She Had Read
About a Coat of Many Colors
Joseph Wore and Then She Said
Perhaps This Coat Will Bring You
Good Luck and Happiness
And I Just Couldn't Wait to Wear It
And Momma Blessed It With a Kiss
My Coat of Many Colors
That My Momma Made For Me
Made Only From Rags
But I Wore It So Proudly
Although We Had no Money
I Was Rich As I Could Be
In My Coat of Many Colors
My Momma Made For Me

So With Patches On My Britches
Holes in Both My Shoes
In My Coat of Many Colors
I Hurried Off to School
Just to Find the Others Laughing
And Making Fun of Me
In My Coat of Many Colors
My Momma Made For Me
And Oh I Couldn't Understand It
For I Felt I Was Rich
And I Told Them of the Love
My Momma Sewed in Every Stitch
And I Told 'em All the Story
Momma Told Me While She Sewed
And How My Coat of Many Colors
Was Worth More Than All Their Clothes
But They Didn't Understand It
And I Tried to Make Them See
That One Is Only Poor
Only If They Choose to Be
Now I Know We Had no Money
But I Was Rich As I Could Be
In My Coat of Many Colors
My Momma Made For Me
Made Just For Me

Oh sometimes I go walkin' through fields where we walked
Long ago in the sweet used to be
And the flowers still grow but they don't smeel as sweet
As they did when you picked them for me
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old mem'ries like that
Or do I ever cross your mind

Oh how often I wish that again
I could kiss your sweet lips like I did long ago
And how often I long for those two loving arms
That once held me so gentle and close
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old mem'ries like that
Or do I ever cross your mind
Oh and do your mem'ries ever
take you back into another place in time
Do you ever think back on old mem'ries like that
Or do I ever cross your mind

You Know Your Love Keeps On Lifting Me Higher Higher&Higher
All Your Love Lifting Me Higher
Than I Ever Been Lifted Before
So Keep It Up, Quench My Desire
Then I'll Be At Your Side Forevermore
You Know Your Love Keeps On Lifting Me Higher Higher&Higher
I So Glad I Finally Found You
Yes That One in a Million Girl
And Now With My Loving Arms Around You
I Can Stand Up and Face the World
You Know Your Love Keeps On Lifting Me Higher Higher&Higher
You Know Your Love Keeps On Lifting Me Higher Higher&Higher
Now Once I Was Downhearted
This Little Loneliness My Foes and Friend
But When You Came, He Soon Departed
And He Never Showed His Face Again
You Know Your Love Keeps On Lifting Me Higher Higher&Higher
You Know Your Love Keeps On Lifting Me Higher Higher&Higher

If I should stay I would only be in your way
So I'll go
but I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bitter-sweet memories
that is all I am taking with me
Goodbye please don't you cry
Cause we both know that I'm not what you need
But I will always love you I will always love you

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope that you have all you've dreamed of
I wish you joy and I wish you happiness
But above all of this I wish you love
Oh oh and I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing
The tune about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are saying
It brings mem'ries when I was trusting wife
It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you wrote in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame
It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you wrote in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
with flaming locks of auburn hair
With Ivory skin and eyes of em'rald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
and there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name Jolene
But I can easily understand
how you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me Jolene
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
but I could never love again
He's the only one for me Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
my happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do Jolene
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can

Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonesome
I wonder why mommy don't come
She told me to close my pretty blue eyes
And when I awoke she'd be home
She said she was going to see Grandma
Who lives by the river so wide
And I guess my mommy fell in there
And probably she won't be home tonight
So i guess i'll go down and meet daddy
Perhaps he has stopped at the store
It's a great big store full of bottles
And i wish he wouldn't go there anymore
So out in the night with the baby
Her little heart beating with pride
'til her tired feet entered the gin palace
With music all radiant with light
Oh daddy she cried as she reached him
I think that the music's so sweet
But it's almost suppertime daddy
Little blossom wants something to eat
A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly
Down into her face sweet and fair
And as the demon possessed him
He grasped at the back of a chair
A moment a second was over
He lifted her fair golden head
A moment the baby's left trembled
Then poor little blossom was dead

Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, still I'll never own you
Making believe, its all I can do
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe that I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe

Making believe that I never lost you
But my happy hours are fun and so few
My plans for the future will never come true
Making believe what else can I do
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe that I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe

Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog a' barkin'
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a' knockin'
I wondered who could be outside in such an awful storm
Then I saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms
Before I could say a word she said, 'My name is Sandy
And this here is my puppy dog, it's name is little Andy'
Standing in the bitter cold in just a ragged dress
Then I asked her to come in and this is what she said

Ain't ya got no gingerbread
Ain't ya got no candy
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy
Patty cake and bakersman
My mommy ran away again
And we was all alone and didn't know what else to do
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you
Giddy up trotty horse, going to the mill
Can we stay all night
If you don't love us no one will
I promise we won't cry
London bridge is fallin' down
My daddy's drunk again in town
And we was all alone and didn't what we could do
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you
She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven
But that night as they slept the angels
took them both to heaven
God knew little Andy would be lonesome with her gone
Now Sandy and her puppy dog won't ever be alone
Ain't ya got no gingerbread
Ain't ya got no candy
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy

Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love

Pullin' my pig tails makes me mad
When you kiss me, makes me glad
You turn to leave and make me sad
Still you're the sweetest sweetheart I've ever had

Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love

Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love

Sometimes you won't even carry my books
The next time you'll see me you'll rag on my looks
You're meaner to me than a mean ole crook
And I must confess I'm really hooked

Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love

Oooh,OOh,Oooh-ooh,Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh-oh-oh-oh.
Well, I can't tell you where I'm going
I'm not sure of where I've been
But I know I must keep travelin'
Till my road comes to an end

I'm out here on my journey
Trying to make the most of it
I'm a puzzle I must figure out
Where all my pieces fit

Chorus

Like a poor wayfairing stranger
That they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim
Trying to find what feels like home

Well, that is no one can tell me
Am I doomed to ever roam
I'm just travelin' travelin' travelin'
I'm just travelin' on.

Questions I have many
Ansewers but a few
We're here to learn the spirit burns
To learn the greater truth

We've all been crusified
And they nailed Jesus to the tree
And when I'm born again
You're gonna see a change in me

God made me for a reason
And nothing is in vain
Redemption comes in many shapes
With many kinds of pain

Oh, sweet Jesus if you're out there
Keep me ever close to you
As I'm stumbling tumbling
As I'm traveling through

I'm just traveling traveling traveling.
I'm just traveling through ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.
I'm just traveling traveling
I'm just traveling through ooho ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.

Oh sometimes the road gets rugged
And it's hard to travelin' on
But hold in to each other
We don't have to work alone
When everything is broken
We can mend it if we try
We can make the world a difference
If we want to we can fllly.
Good-bye you little children
Good-night you handsome men
Farewell to all you ladies
And to all who knew me when...
And I hope I'll see ya down the road
You meant more than I knew
As I'm travelin' travelin' travelin' travelin' travelin' through
Drifting like a floating boat
And roaming like the wind

Oh give me some direction lord
Let me lean on you
As I'm travelin' travelin' through (Repeat, Repeat)
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Like the poor wayfaring stranger
That they speak about in song
I'm just like a weary pilgrim
Tryin' to find my own way home

Oh, sweet jesus if you're out there
Keep me ever close to you
As I'm travelin' travelin' travelin' through

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh travelin' through.

When the mornin' sun
Streaks across my room
And I'm wakin' up
From another dream of you
Yes, you know I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All that's left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, I love you

And how I wish that love
Was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have
'Cause I've got so much to give
But ya' know I feel so sad
Down inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keepin' us apart
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, how I love you

And if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life
Had not yet crossed my mind
And the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come runnin' back to you
I'd come runnin' back to you
Mmmmm

But you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
Got to pay the rent
So I must leave you all alone
'Cause you know I made my choice many years ago
And now this travelin' life
Well, it's the only life I know
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, I love you
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, how I love you
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, how I love you

But you know I love you
But you know I love you
Oh, I love you
But you know that I love you
But you know that I love you
Oh, how I love you
But you know that I love you
But you know that I love you
Oh, how I love you

Here I sit, all alone,
Thinkin' bout what I should of known,
You make me think that I could need you,
You weaved your magic spell and I believed you.

Looking back, on you and me,
Promises that will, never be,
I truely thought that we were lovers, (lovers)
But now I find i'm just like all the others.

Heartbreaker, wish i'd seen that love was blind,
Sweet little love maker, taking my heart and leaving me behind,
Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind, to me?

Played with fire, felt it's burn,
I would have thought that I would of learned,
I melted every time you kissed me, (kissed me)
Everytime you'd leave I thought you'd miss me.

Heartbreaker, wish i'd seen that love was blind,
Sweet little love maker, taking my heart and leaving me behind,
Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind, to me?

Heartbreaker, wish i'd seen that love was blind,
Sweet little love maker, taking my heart and leaving me behind,
Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind, to me?

Heartbreaker, wish i'd seen that love was blind,
Sweet little love maker, taking my heart and leaving me behind,
Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind, to me?

Here you come again
Just when I've begun to get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger

Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And lie those pretty lies
And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you

All you got to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
And here I go

All you got to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
And here I go
Here I go
And here I go
And here I go
Here you come again
And here I go
Here I go
And here I go
Here I go

I really got the feeling that I'll love you for a long long time
I felt it from the moment we met you didn't ask me my sign
I love my daddy but it really don't matter what my daddy might say
I really got the feeling that I'll love you 'til my dying day
You're a gentle man
And a gentle man is getting mighty hard to find these days
And you're a tender man
And you're man enough to show your love and tender ways

I really got the feeling that I'll love you for a long long time
I felt it from the moment we met you didn't ask me my sign
I love my daddy but it really don't matter what my daddy might say
I really got the feeling that I'll love you 'til my dying day

I love those silly things you do
You make me feel once more like an innocent child of two

I really got the feeling that I'll love you for a long long time
I felt it from the moment we met you didn't ask me my sign
I love my daddy but it really don't matter what my daddy might say
I really got the feeling that I'll love you 'til my dying day

I really got the feeling got the feeling
I really got the feeling got the feeling
I really got the feeling that I'll love you 'til my dying day

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, and yet I know
I'll think of you each step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bittersweet memories
That's all I have, and I'm taking with me
Goodbye, please don't you cry
Cause we both know, I'm not what you need

But, I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life (I hope life)
Treats you kind (treats you kind)
And I hope you have all you dream of
I wish you joy (I wish you joy)
And happiness (and happiness)
But above all this, I wish you love, oh

And I will always love you
I will always love you
Yes, I will always love you
I will always love you

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was somethin' going on

You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got somethin' goin' on

Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
And you did walk in tonight
Slowly loosen' sight of the real thing

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one, in love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

Sail away
Oh, come sail away with me

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

I feel it when you're with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle
Your kiss is warm and tender
Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies

Love is like a butterfly
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

Your laughter brings me sunshine
Everyday is spring time
And I am only happy when you are by my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious, sweet and rare
Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies

Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
