There
Stands The Glass
(Hull / Shurtz / Gresham)
There stands the glass
That will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain
It's my first one today
There stands the glass
That will hide all my tears
That will drown all my fears
Brother I'm on my way
I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all
right
I wonder if you think of
me
In my misery
There stands the glass
Fill it up to the brim
While my troubles grow dim
It's my first one today
I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all
right
I wonder if you think of
me
In my misery
There stands the glass
Fill it up to the brim
While my troubles grow dim
It's my first one today
There stands the glass
That will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain
It's my first one today
There stands the glass
That will hide all my tears
That will drown all my fears
Brother I'm on my way
I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all
right
I wonder if you think of
me
In my misery
There stands the glass
Fill it up to the brim
While my troubles grow dim
It's my first one today
I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all
right
I wonder if you think of
me
In my misery
There stands the glass
Fill it up to the brim
While my troubles grow dim
It's my first one today
Things Have Gone To Pieces
(Leon Payne)
Oh the faucet started dripping
in the kitchen
Last night your picture
fell down from the wall
And today the boss said
"sorry son I can't use you anymore"
And tonight the light bulb
went out down the hall
Oh, things have gone to
pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right,
now it seems
There ain't nothin' in my
pocket, but three nickels and a dime
And I'm holding to the pieces
of my dreams
Somebody threw a baseball
through my window
And the arm fell off my
favourite chair today
Oh the man he came today,
said he'd haul all my things away
If I didn't get my payments
made by ten
Things have gone to pieces
since you left me
Now nothin' turns out half
right, now it seems
There ain't nothin' in my
pocket but three nickels and a dime
And I'm holding to the pieces
of my dreams
Playhouse
(Van Morrison)
Tear your playhouse
Tear your playhouse, tear
your playhouse down
Tear your playhouse, tear
your playhouse down
Oh all that money it's going
underground
Baby all that money
All that money don't it
make you frown
All that money don't it
make you frown
Careless love done tore
your playhouse down
All that money, all that
money
All that pounds, shillings
and pence
All that money, all that
pounds, shillings and pence
All that money but it's
just no common sense
Going down to Florida, going
down to Florida
Gonna move you off my mind
Going down to Florida, I'm
gonna get you off my mind
Going down to Florida just
to bide my time

All that money
All that money don't it

All that money don't it

Careless love done burned
your playhouse down, playhouse down
Careless love done burned
your playhouse down
Burned your playhouse, burned
your playhouse down
Don't You Make Me High
(Williams / Barker / Barker)
Oh don't you feel my leg,
don't you feel my leg
'Cos if you feel my leg,
you'll want to feel my thigh
Don't you feel my thigh,
you'll wanna move up high
So don't you feel my leg
Don't you buy no rye, don't
you buy no rye
'Cos if you buy me some
rye, you gonna make me high
If you make me high, you'll
wanna loosen my tie
Don't you buy no rye
Now you say you'll take
me out, buy me gin and wine
You got something different
on your mind
Say we're gonna have a lovely
time
But what I got I know is
mine
Don't you feel my leg, don't
you feel my leg
'Cos if you feel my leg,
you'll want to feel my thigh
If you feel my thigh, you're
gonna get a surprise
Don't you feel my leg
Now you say you'll take
me out buy me gin and wine
Honey, you got something
on your mind
Say we're gonna have a lovely
time
What I got I know is mine
Don't you feel my leg, don't
you feel my leg
'Cos if you feel my leg,
you'll wanna feel my thigh
If you feel my thigh, you'll
want to move up high
You're gonna get a surprise
So, don't you feel my leg
So, don't you feel my leg
So, don't you feel my leg
9. Back Street Affair
(Billy Wallace)
You didn't know I wasn't
free when you fell in love with me
And with all your young
heart you learned to care
It brought you shame and
disgrace
The world has tumbled in
your face
Because they call our love
a back street affair
They say you wrecked my
home
I'm a husband that's gone
wrong
They don't know the sorrow
that we had to bear
While the one I was tied
to was the first to be untrue
How can they call our love
a back street affair
Well we have each other
now
That's all that matters
anyhow
While the judgement of gossips
never fair
We'll just be brave and
strong
Then someday they'll see
they're wrong
So let them call our love
a back street affair
We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died
away
And the happiness we hoped
for then we'll share
And I'll climb a mountain
high and the world will hear me cry
That our love is not a back
street affair
What Am I Living For
(Art Harris / Fred Jay)
What am I living for, if
not for you?
Tell me what am I living
for, if not for you?
What am I living for, if
not for you?
Oh nobody else, nobody else
will do
What am I longing for each
lonely night?
To feel your lips to mine
and hold you tight
You'll be my only love my
whole life through
Baby nobody else, nobody
else will do
I want you close to me,
oh that's all I know
I want you all the time,
darlin' I love you so
What am I living for, if
not for you?
Oh what am I living for,
child if not for you?
I wanna know what am I livin'
for if not for you?
Oh now, nobody else, nobody
else will do
I want you close to me,
oh that's all I know
I want you all the time,
darlin' I love you so
Oh what am I living for,
if not for you?
Oh, what am I living for,
if not for you?
What am I living for, if
not for you?
Oh nobody else, nobody else
will do
Oh no, nobody else, nobody
else will do, child
Once A Day
(Bill Anderson)
When you found somebody
new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought
then that I never could
But time has taken all my
pain away
Until now I'm down to hurtin'
once a day
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk
till dawn
The only time I wish that
you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day,
all day long
And I'm so glad I'm not
like a friend that I knew one time
He lost the one he loved
and then he slowly lost his mind
Sat around and cried his
life away
Lucky me I'm only hurtin'
once a day
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk
till dawn
The only time I wish that
you weren't gone
Once a day, every day, all
day long
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk
till dawn
The only time I wish that
you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day,
all day long
Once a day, every day, all
day long
Once a day, every day, all
day long
15. Till I Gain Control
Again
(Rodney Crowell)
Just like the sun shining
over the mountain top
You know I'll always come
again
You know I love to spend
my morning time
Watchin' sunlight dancing
on your skin
I've never gone so wrong
for telling lies to you
What you see is what I've
been
There is nothing that I
can hide from you
You see me better than I
ever can
Out on the road that lies
before me now
There are some turns where
I will spin
Darlin' I only hope, only
hope that you will hold me now
Until I gain control again
Just like the lighthouse
I must stand alone
Landmarks to mark the sailors
journeys end
No matter what sea I've
been sailing on
You know, you know I'll
always roll this way, this way again
Out on the road that lies
before me now
Surely there will be some
turns where I will spin, spin
I only hope, I only hope
that you, you will hold me now, hold me now
Till I gain, till I gain
control, control again
Out on the road that lies
before me now
There are some turns, some
turns where I will spin, spin
I only hope, only hope that
you will hold me now, hold me now
Until I gain control again
Till I gain control |
Half
As Much
(Curly Williams)
If you loved me half as
much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half
as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's
no one else around
You only build me up to
let me down
If you miss me half as much
as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half
as much as you do
I know that I would never
be this blue
If you only loved me half
as much as I love you
If you loved me half as
much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half
as
much as you do
You're nice to me when there's
no one else around
You only build me up to
let me down
If you miss me half as much
as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half
as much as you do
I know that I would never
be this blue
If you only loved me half
as much as I love you
If you only loved me half
as much as I love you
If you only loved me half
as much as I love you
Big Blue
Diamonds
(Earl J. Carson)
Blue diamonds, big blue
diamonds on her finger
Instead of a little band
of gold
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds
tell the story
Of the love that no one
man could hold
Oh, she wanted more than
I had money to buy
So she left me sad and lonely
I am told
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds
Now she'll trade them
For a love behind a little
band of gold
Blue diamonds, big blue
diamonds how they sparkle
But what can they do to
warm your heart and soul
When you're lonesome in
the moonlight and you want loving
Big blue diamonds don't
they seem so reckless and bold
I gladly do my part oh,
to mend a broken heart
But a love that's warmed
over soon grows cold
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds
I don't want them, no
I just want a love behind
a little band of gold
Your Cheatin' Heart
(Hank Williams)
Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry & cry
You'll try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you
When tears come down
Like pourin' rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you
When tears come down
Like fallin' rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
Just the way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you
My Buckets Got A Hole
In It
(Clarence Williams)
Well I'm standing on the
corner
With my bucket in my hand
Just waiting for a woman
That ain't got no man
My bucket's got a hole in
it
My bucket's got a hole in
it
My bucket's got a hole in
it
Can't buy no beer
Well I went up on the mountain
Looked down in the sea
Seen the crabs and the fishes
Doing the be bop beat
My bucket's got a hole in
it
My bucket's got a hole in
it
My bucket's got a hole in
it
Can't buy no beer
Well there ain't no use
Me working so hard
When I got a woman
In the boss mans yard
My bucket's got a hole in
it
My bucket's got a hole in
it
My bucket's got a hole in
it
Can't buy no beer
Pay The Devil
(Van Morrison)
One man's meat is another
man's poison
One man's gain can be another
man's loss
I'm travelling down the
lonely highway
'Cos a rolling stone don't
gather no moss
Once I thought I could live
the kind of life I wanted
But the wayward wind made
me restless and a fool of me
'Cos I thought I could settle
for the nine to five life
Well I guess it just was
never meant to be
Now people talk and they
speculate about what other people would do
But they can't put themselves
within my shoes
It used to be my life, now
it's become my story
I'm heading down this highway
with those blues
Well I'd love to see the
sun setting on the riverside
Just to go back home and
I want to settle down
Well I have to pay the devil
for my music
Why I have to keep on with
this roaming around
Have to pay the devil for
my music
Keep on rolling from town
to town
Have to pay the devil for
to play my music
Keep on rolling from town
to town
12. This Has Got To Stop
(Van Morrison)
I'm giving you my heart
and my soul
I'm giving you more than
you'll ever know
I'm giving you just about
everything I can
Can't you see that I'm just
only one man
I took you out to the picture
show
Then I took you walkin'
outdoors
I walked you up and down
the block
And I warned you baby this
has got to stop
This has got to stop, you're
way over the top
Pack my things and walk,
we can't even talk
This has got to stop, I
just had enough
I'm gonna call your bluff,
walk you one more lap
And I watched you watching
me as I watched you walk away from me
And I went off to that far
country
I took a plane out to that
Newfoundland
And you said to me that
you didn't understand
This has got to stop, you're
way over the top
I'm gonna pack my things
and walk, we don't even talk
This has got to stop, baby
I just had enough
I'm gonna call your bluff,
walk me one more lap
Well I came back home and
I burnt our house down
I watched it crumble to
the ground
Oh it caved in like a piece
of balsa wood
I turned to you and said
baby, this is just no good
And I worked and I tried
to build it all back up again
Today you told me that you
had really changed
Then you knocked down all
my castles in the sand
Then I said baby, I know
now just where we stand
This has got to stop, you're
way over the top
Pack my bags and walk, we
don't even talk
This has got to stop, I've
just had enough
I'm gonna call your bluff,
this has got to stop
This has got to stop
Stop, stop I've had enough
I'm gonna call your bluff
Stop, stop, stop
This has got to stop
More and More
(Webb Pierce / Merle Kilgore)
More and more
I'm forgetting the past
More and more
I'm living at last
Day by day
I'm losing my blues
More and more
I'm forgetting about you
And oh how I tried to keep
you by my side
And oh how I cried the day
you said goodbye
Day by day
I'm losing my blues
More and more
I'm forgetting about you
But oh how I tried to keep
you by my side
And oh how I cried the day
you said goodbye
Day by day
I'm losing my blues
More and more
I'm forgetting about you
Day by day
I'm losing my blues
More and more
I'm forgetting about you |
