The first thing I remember knowin’
Was a lonesome whistle blowin’ And a young'un's dream of growing up to ride On a freight train leavin’ town Not knowin’ where I'm bound And no one could change my mind but Mama tried One and only rebel child From a family meek and mild My Mama seemed to know what lay in store In spite all my Sunday learnin’ Towards the bad, I kept a-turnin’ Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore And I turned twenty-one in prison Doing life without parole No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried Mama tried to raise me better But her pleading I denied That leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried Dear old Daddy, rest his soul Left my mom a heavy load She tried so very hard to fill his shoes Working hours without rest Wanted me to have the best She tried to raise me right, but I refused And I turned twenty-one in prison Doing life without parole No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried Mama tried to raise me better But her pleading, I denied That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried |

Kentucky
You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me Kentucky I miss your laurel and your redbud trees When I die, I want to rest upon a graceful mountain so high For that is Where God will look for me Kentucky I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight Kentucky I miss the hound dogs chasin’ (Rac)coon I know that My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me Kentucky I will be coming soon Kentucky |

Way down in Bowling Green
Prettiest girls I've ever seen A man in Kentucky Sure is lucky To love down in Bowling Green Bowling Green folks treat you kind They let you think your own mind A man in Kentucky Sure is lucky In Bowling Green you walk your own line Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold It warms the body And I know it touches the soul Bluegrass is fine Kentucky owns my mind The fields down in Bowling Green Have the softest grass I've ever seen A man in Kentucky Sure is lucky To lie down in Bowling Green Bowling Green girls treat you right They wear dresses cut country tight A man in Kentucky Sure is lucky If he's seen a Bowling Green night Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold It warms the body And I know it touches the soul Bluegrass is fine Kentucky owns my mind Bowling Green, Bowling Green Bowling Green, Bowling Green Bowling Green, Bowling Green Bowling Green, Bowling Green |

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 |

I wonder if I care as much
As I did before... Last night I cried myself to sleep For the one that makes me weep I dried my eyes to greet the day, And wondered why I had to pay The tears that I have shed by day Give relief and wash away The memory of the night before I wonder if I'll suffer more I wonder if I care as much As I did before... My pride is made to say forgive, And take the blame for what you did, It's your mistakes I'm thinkin' of, I wonder if I'm still in love. My heart can't thrive on misery, My life it has no destiny, When things get more Than I can bear, I ask myself "Do I still care?" I wonder if I care as much As I did before.. |

Lo-ove
Love is strange, yeah-eah-yeah Lots of people Take it for a pain Once you've got it You never want to quit, no-oh-no After you've had it You're in an awful fit Love is strange Love is strange Hey, Don! What, Phil? How would you call your baby home? Well, if I needed her real bad I guess I would call her like this Baby Oh sweet baby My sweet baby Please come home Yeah, that ought to bring her home, Don! People Don't understand, oh-oh-no They think love is Money in the hand Your sweet lovin' Is better than a kiss, yeah-eah-yeah When you left me Sweet kisses I miss Love is strange Love is strange ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HALL, MARION MARIE / BURRELL, ORVILLE / BAKER, ALPHANSO / ROBINSON, <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |
