This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew his wife This ole house was home and comfort As they fought the storms of life This old house once rang with laughter This old house heard many shouts Now he trembles in the darkness When the lightnin' walks about CHORUS: Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend the windowpane Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints This ole house is a-gettin' shaky This ole house is a-gettin' old This ole house lets in the rain This ole house lets in the cold On his knees I'm gettin' chilly But he feel no fear nor pain 'Cause he see an angel peekin' Through a broken windowpane CHORUS This ole house is afraid of thunder This ole house is afraid of storms This ole house just groans and trembles When the night wind flings its arms This ole house is gettin' feeble This old house is needin' paint Just like him it's tuckered out But he's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints CHORUS This ole house dog lies a-sleepin' He don't know I'm gonna leave Else he'd wake up by the fireplace And he'd sit there and howl and grieve But my huntin' days are over Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more Gabriel done brought in my chariot When the wind blew down the door CHORUS |

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly Then you and I came wandering by And lost in a sigh were we The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly Your a |

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 missed 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 You're nice to me when there's no one else around You only build me up to let me down If you missed 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 |

Lately when I'm in my room all by myself In the solitary gloom I call to myself Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud Though he won't throw a crumb to you, you think some day he'll come to you Better forget him, him with his nose in the air He has you dancin' on a string, break it and he won't care Won't you take this advice I hand you like a mother Or are you not seein' things too clear Are you too much in love to hear Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes [Are you talking to me?] Love never made a fool of you [Not until now] You used to be too wise [Yes, I was once] Will you take this advice I hand you like a mother Or am I not seein' things too clear Are you just too far gone to hear Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other |

Sue wants a barbecue,
Sam wants to boil a ham, Grace votes for Bouillabaisse stew. Jake wants a weeny bake, Steak and a layer cake, He'll get a tummy ache too. We'll rent a tent or tepee. Let the town crier cry. And if it's RSVP This is what I'll reply In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell 'em I'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Better save a chair When the party's gettin' a glow on And singin' fills the air In the shank of the night When the doin's are right You can tell 'em I'll be there "Whee" said the bumblebee," "Let's have a jubilee" "When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?" "Shore" said the dinosaur. "Where?" said the grizzly bear, "Under the light of the moon?" "How 'bout ya, brother jackass?" Ev'ryone gaily cried, "You comin' to the fracas?" Over his specs he sighed In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell 'em I'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Slickum on my hair. When the party's gettin' a glow on And singin' fills the air If I ain't in the clink, And there's sumpin' to drink, You can tell 'em I'll be there |

My mama done tol' me, When I was in knee pants, My mama done tol' me, Son! A woman'll sweet talk And give ya the big eye; But when the sweet talkin's done, A woman's a two face A worrisome thing Who'll leave ya t'sing The blues in the night Now the rain's a fallin', Hear the train a collin' Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle Blowin' cross the trestle, Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me) A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's A echoin' back th' blues in the night The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' And the moon'll hide its light When you get the blues in the night Take my word, the mockin' bird'll Sing the saddest kind o' song He knows things are wrong and he's right From Natchez to Mobile, From Memphis to St. Joe, Wherever the four winds blow, I been in some big towns, An' heard me some big talk, But there is one thing I know A woman's a two face, A worrisome thing Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night My mama was right, there's blues in the night |

You'll never know just how much I miss you You'll never know just how much I care And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you You ought to know, for haven't I told you so A million or more times? You went away and my heart went with you I speak your name in my every prayer If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now (You went away and my heart went with you I speak your name in my every prayer) If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now You'll never know if you don't know now |
