These are the words of a frontier lad
Who lost his love when he turned ba-ad Take a message to Mary but dont tell er where I am Take a message to Mary but dont say Im in a jam You can tell her I had to see the world or tell er that my ship set sail You can say she better not wait for me but dont tell her Im in jail Oh, dont tell her Im in jail Take a message to Mary but dont tell er what Ive done Please dont mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gun You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day But please dont mention my lonely cell where Im gonna pine away Until my dying day Take a message to Mary but dont tell er all you know My hearts achin for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her Im searchin for gold You can say she better find someone new to cherish and to hold Oh, Lord, this cell is cold Ma-ary, Ma-a-a-a-ary Oh, Lord this cell is cold |

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough nor strong enough To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain Love hurts Oh, love hurts I'm young, I know, but even so I know a thing or two; I've learned from you I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot Love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot Love hurts, love hurts Some fools rave of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness Some fools fool themselves I guess But they're not fooling me I know it isn't true, know it isn't true Love is just a lie, made to make you blue Love hurts Oh, love hurts Oh, love hurts Oh, love hurts Oh, love hurts |

My father looked at me one day
Said "Son, it's plain to see That you're getting older And should have a talk with me You'll soon be going on lots of dates As to a man you grow And there's one important thing Every boy should know: Girls, girls, girls were made to love Girls, girls, girls were made to love That's why some have eyes of blue That's why some stand five feet two Girls, girls, girls were made to love" "One day soon you'll have a date And you’ll take her home that night You'll wonder as you look at her, Would a kiss be right? The more you look, the more you'll find Those doubts will fill your head But think real hard and you might recall The things your old dad said: Girls, girls, girls were made to love Girls, girls, girls were made to love That's why you watch 'em walk down the street That's why their kisses taste awfully sweet Girls, girls, girls were made to love" Love, love, love, love, love, love, Love, love, love… |

On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time
To get home and marry that baby of mine So I went to the chaplain and he authorized Me to send for my ebony eyes My ebony eyes was coming to me From out of the skies on Flight 1203 In an hour or two I would whisper 밒 do? To my beautiful ebony eyes SPOKEN The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines desk and I said 밪ir, I wonder why 1203 is so late??He said 밃ww, they probably took off late or they may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter their course.? I went back outside and I waited at the gate and I watched the beacon light from the control tower as it whipped through the dark ebony skies as if it were searching for (my ebony eyes.) And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker? 밯ould those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203 please report to the chapel across the street at once.? Then I felt a burning break deep inside And I knew the heavenly ebony skies Had taken my life's most wonderful prize My beautiful ebony eyes If I ever get to heaven I'll bet The first angel I'll recognize She'll smile at me and I know she will be My beautiful ebony eyes |

I hope your radio won't play until I've had my say
I hope your mail always fails to reach you Until you want to hear from me I hope your wristwatch goes berserk But I'm not angry, I'm just hurt I hope your phone will never ring & you can never sing I hope your car doesn't start, cannot move Until you want to be with me I hope your brand new dress gets torn But I'm not angry, just forlorn I'll make a voodoo dance to fit with bats & owls We'll haunt your house on rattle chains We'll hang around until you call my name And tell me that you want me back again I hope your records always break, your shoes make your feet ache I hope your luck will get stuck on black cats Until you want a kiss from me I hope your TV's always bad But I'm not angry, I'm just sad But I'm not angry, I'm just sad |

She's the prettiest girl & town & she sure knows it
The way she walks & the way she talks sure shows it I hate that stuck-up so-&-so But there's one thing I gotta know Where 's she live, what's her number & how can I meet her? She comes on like she's so high-class & well-bred But I never saw a girl with such a swell head She's got herself a night, I'll wait She thinks I'll ask her for a date But where 's she live, what's her number & how can I meet her? (Spoken): She's in love with herself; you know the kind Always puttin' on airs! The guys in town all think she's Mona Lisa & she's got 'em all goin' out of their way to please her Well Miss C's a mystery But she don't do a thing to me But where 's she live, what's her number & how can I meet her? How can I meet her? How can I meet her? |

I'm looking for that Lonely Street
I've got a sad sad tale to tell I need a place to go and weep Where's this place called Lonely Street? A place where there's just loneliness Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and memories meet Where's this place called Lonely Street? Perhaps upon that Lonely Street There's someone such as I Who came to bury broken dreams And watch an old love die If I could find that Lonely Street Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and memories meet Where's this place called Lonely Street? Where's this place called Lonely Street? |

Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can, but you won't forget her You talk too much, you laugh too loud You see her face in every crowd That's the price of love, The price of love The debt you pay with tears and pain The price of love The price of love Can cost you more when you're to blame Kiss one girl, kiss another Kiss them all, but you won't recover You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast You're happy now, but that won't last That's the price of love The price of love The debt you pay with tears and pain The price of love The price of love Costs you more when you're to blame |

The lord of the manor
Loves the upstairs maid And I tend the flowers Of the seeds he lays His collar is velvet, His hands are real soft She sleeps with the master I'm awake in the loft I wish in the bedroom The sheets were all torn I wish that the flowers Would only grow thorns The lord of the manor Has a wife of grey He pays the chauffeur To drive her away The lord and my baby Are upstairs alone The one who could stop them Is physically gone I wish in the bedroom The sheets were all torn I wish that the flowers Would only grow thorns |

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell “Let my guitar playing friend do my request.” “Let him... Sing me back home a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die” I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the street Came in to sing a few old gospel songs And I heard him tell the singers, “There's a song my mama sang Could I hear it once before you move along?” “Won't you... Sing me back home, a song I used to hear? Make my old memories come alive Please take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die” |
