George Jones

> Empty, I was just an empty shell 'til I met you
Hungry, just another hungry heart 'til I found you
Loving, loving was a feeling I never knew
Dying, I was dying for the life time with you
Your love is my breathe of life
Your love blows me away
I wasn't born yesterday
But I just started living today
Touching, there was lightning in the night when I touch you
And dancing, dancing in your loving arms, I wanted you
A love song swaying to the records that jukebox played
Living, I started living when you loved me each day
Your love is my breathe of life
Your love blows me away
I wasn't born yesterday
But I just started living today
Your love is my breathe of life
Your love blows me away
I wasn't born yesterday
But I just started living today
Yes, I just started living today

We always wanted a big two story house
Back when we lived in that little two room shack
We wanted fame and fortune
And we'd live life the way the rich folks do
We knew some how we'd make it, together me and you

With dreams and hopes of things to come
We worked and never stopped
Not much time for you and me
We had to reach the top

We bought that big two story house
And soon became the envy of the town
With all our work behind us
We'd finally settled down

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Whoa, what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And I've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

The house is filled with rare antiques
There's marble on the floor
Beauty all around us
Like we've never seen before

There's chandeliers in every room
Imported silks and satin all about
We filled the house with everything
But somehow left love out

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Oh what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And I've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

> If anyone could find the joy
That true love brings a girl and boy
We could, we could, you and I
If anyone could ever say
That their true love was here to stay
We could, we could, you and I
When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night
And thank the Lord that all is right
We could, we could, you and I
When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere

I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I tried to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you're you.

No matter what the world may say, about you
I know your love will always be true
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

--- Instrumental ---

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness you've opened wide.

No matter what
I know your heart will always be true
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display

(G.J)
She smiles n' nods her head
As he says, "Honey that's for you,
It's not much, but it's the best
That I can do."

Chorus-both
Golden rings (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Waiting there (waiting there) for someone to take you home
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

(T.W.)
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
(G.J.)
Tears roll down her cheeks
And happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed."

Chorus- both
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Shining ring (shining ring) now at last it's found a home
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

Ooo-ooo
(T.W.)
In a small two room apartment
As they fought their final round
He says, "You won't admit it,
But I know you're leavin' town."

(G.J.)
She says, "One thing's for certain,
I don't love you any more."
And throws down the ring
As she walks out the door

Chorus- both
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Cast aside (cast aside) like the love that's dead and gone
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

(Both)
In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display,
Golden ring.

I'd followed me to Texas I'd followed me to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I'd followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams

There's just one place for me
Near you

It's like heaven to be
Near you

Times when we're apart
And I can't face my heart

Say you'll never stay
More than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent
Near you

I'd be more than content
Near you

Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you

near you - near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll spend the rest of my days
Near you

Spend the rest of my days
Near you

[Tammy Wynette - T.W.]
[George Jones - G.J]

[G.J.]
You always said someday you'd go to live
(In Southern California)
And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee

You always talked about the better days
(In Southern California)
But if you'll stay in Tennessee
I promise there'll be better days with me

[T. W.]
It's not that I don't love you
But I hear the call
(From Southern California)
There's something I can't find in Tennessee

Silver screens and limousines
They wait for me in Southern California

Though you've been so good to me
The time has come you'll have to set me free

[G.J.]
Tomorrow when you leave
You'll take my heart
(To Southern California)
But just remember I'll be here
To keep your heart with me until you see

[T.W. speaks]
Well, it's been five years
N' I guess I've cried a million tears
Lookin' out the window of this little room
Right over that flashin' neon sign that says, "Bar"
It's almost midnight,
An time to go downstairs and go to work
I wonder how he's doin' in, Tennessee?

[G.J. spoken]
Well, here I sit by the window
Of this big old lonely mansion
Lookin' out over the Smokies
And on in everything I can see

Oh, I guess by now she's found
What she was lookin' for
And as I look at this old faded photograph
Of the girl that I still love
I wonder if she ever, thinks of me

[Both]
But the weather's good
In Southern California.

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more

Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me

There's not any mountain to rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darlin', if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear with all loss

Take me to Siberia
And the coldest weather of the winter time
And it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Yes, it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Take me, take me

All my friends told me we'd never make it;
That love, to you, was just a game you played.
And I'll admit at times we had rough goin',
But in each other's arms we loved it away.
And I've been told my love could never hold you;
To tie it down's a price you'd never pay.
And I'll admit there's times when you got restless,
But in each other's arms we loved it away.
Step by step we walked the road together.
Hand in hand, love grew more everyday
When trouble came we held on to each other,
And in each other's arms we loved it away.
And in each other's arms we loved it away.

We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

(T.W.)
Life can be rough
Sometimes it's kind
A real good life
Is hard to find

But the best love
Is the one we've known
And the faith we have between us
Makes it grow

(G.J.)
Some love lives
And some love don't
We've got the kind
Of love we want

It brings us happiness
All through the day
And nothin' can ever make
It go away

We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to

Time will tell
If you're right or wrong
We know we're right

And the future is set for you and me
Filled with love
The way we both want it to be

Well, in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still
We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down
Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him,
But my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin'
Shhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him,
But my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
He took one s-slug and drank it right down
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him,
But my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'...

I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I made

I was tempted
By an early age I found
I liked drinking
Oh, and I never turned it down
There were loved ones
But I turned them all away
Now I'm living and dying
With the choices I made

I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No, I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I made

I guess I'm paying
For the things that I have done
If I could go back
Oh, Lord knows I'd run
But I'm still losing
This game of life I play
Living and dying
With the choices I made

I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No, I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I made

Living and dying
With the choices I made...

I've had good luck and bad luck
And no luck, it's true
But I always get lucky with you

I've been turned on and turned down
When the bars close at two
But I always get lucky with you

I've had two strikes against me
Most all of the time
And when it's down to just a phone call
I'm minus a dime

There's been good days and bad days
But when the day is through
I always get lucky with you
Oh, I always get lucky with you

I've had two strikes against me
Most all of the time
And when it's down to just a phone call
I'm minus a dime

There's been good days and bad days
But when the day is through
I always get lucky with you
Oh, I always get lucky with you

I always get lucky with you

In the papers I saw you this morning
You were lovely dressed in your wedding gown
And it said you would marry a stranger, to me
That had drifted into our old home town

Accident'ly you met him one ev'ning
And you say it was love at first sight
Accident'ly on purpose you're marryin'
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

For you say that you saw me out painting the town
That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown
Accident'ly you were mistaken that night
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

Yes, you say that you saw me out painting the town
That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown
Accident'ly you were mistaken that night
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

Chorus:
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If I figured them all out 'twould take many years

I once had a sweetheart, the fairest of maidens
She outshined all others that I'd known by far
I had a friend, a big fella, named big Harlan Taylor
Harlan had a rubber-tired, new shiny car

Chorus:
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If I figured them all out 'twould take many years

By the wants of a woman she fell for big Harlan
I tried, but in vain, for to take my own life
Suddenly I had lost all my will to keep livin'
She lost her desire to become my young wife

Chorus:
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If I figured them all out 'twould take many years

I wanted revenge and waylaid for big Harlan
Then I started wondrin' what good would it do
If a rubber-tired, new shiny car's her ambition
Then she can just have it and big Harlan, too

Chorus:
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If I figured them all out 'twould take many years

If I figured them all out it would take many years...

Up above me are the sky
Like the twinkle in your eyes
These things are the color of a blue.

In the mail your letter came
Sayin' you can take the looks the same?
Blue must be the color of the blues.

Bluebirds sitting in the tree
Seems to sypathize with me
For he's not singin' like he used to do.

The pretty waters in the sink
Feel as cold as you left me
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues.

There's a rainbow overhead
With more blue than gold and red
Blue must be the color angels chose.

A blue dress you proudly wore
When you left to return no more
Blue must be the color of the blues.

Blue days come and blue days go
How I feel nobody knows
Life is mighty empty without you.

There's a blue note in each song
That I sing since you're gone
Yes blue must be the color of the blues...

Don't stop the music
Let it play one more song
The same one that played
But not for so long

He's out with another
I saw him tonight
Sitting there close together
He knows that's not right

So, don't stop the music
Let it play one more song
The same one that played
But not for so long

My pockets are empty
I've spent my last dime
But I just got to hear it
That song one more time

Don't be mad at me mister
I know that it's wrong
But I want you to hear it
The words of that song

So, don't stop the music
Don't make me go home
I know she's not there
And I cry all night long

Don't stop the music
Let it play one more song
The same one that played
But not for so long

My pockets are empty
I've spent my last dime
But I just got to hear it
That song one more time...

Well I've come here to tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
I'm a tramp and a gambler I stay out late at night
But a porterhouse steak steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this old town can afford
Well I got big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little baby boy playin' rounds at my feet
I'm a rambler and a gambler and I've lead a dirty life
Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

Well then I got married I knew I'd settle down
And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown
Now I've got a family one that I'm proud of
I know that I'll be happy cause they're the ones I love
Well I got big electric fan...
I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

I'm a rambler and a gambler I've lead a dirty life
Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

I gotta get up I gotta get goin' rain or shine sleetin' or snowin'
Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you
Wander through woods climb a high mountain
Love's in my heart like waters in a fountain
Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you

Cross the fire walk through river you'll be the taker and I'll be the giver
I'll give you lovin' lovin' honey that's what I'll do
Climb a big wall I'd tear into pieces I gotta get to your love and kisses
Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you

I can't stop praisin' the day I found you
I'd walk a hundred miles just to be around you
Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you
Nothing at all nothing in the world can make me stop fallin' for you my girl friend
Nothing can stop me stop me stop my loving you
Cross the fire walk through river...

Darlin', there's talk around town
'Bout a girl who spreads love around
Well softly
Darling, say it's not you!

They say that she comes in alone
They say her self respect is gone
That each night she leave with someone new
Darlin', say it's not you!

At first what they said didn't hurt me
Until they mentioned her name
Then slowly the tears overtook me
'Cause her name and yours is the same.

Each night till the breaking of dawn
I'm praying that your not one
Tell me love, say it's not true
Darlin', say it's not you!

Darlin', say it's not you!

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care.

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers ev'rywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care.

But if she's happy thinkin' I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Oh, where would she get such an idea.

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care.

She thinks I still care...

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake
Now you might say that I was taking it hard
Since you wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting
What the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you'd gone from me
There's aching and pain in my heart
For the day was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
And I came out in second place

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

Oh, the faucet started
Drippin' in the kitchen
And last night your picture
Fell down from the wall
Today the boss said "Sorry,
I can't use you anymore."
And tonight the light bulb
Went Out in the hall

Chorus:
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half-right now it seems
There ain't nothing in my pocket,
But three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream

Somebody threw a baseball
Through my window
And the arm fell off
My fav'rite chair, again
The man called me today and said,
"He'd haul my things away
If I didn't get my payments made by ten."

Chorus:
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half-right now it seems
There ain't nothing in my pocket,
But three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream...

Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my my dreams with me,
I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long, long time.

And now that I've found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand
And walk through this world with me.

--- Instrumental ---

Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my dreams with me,
I searched for you so.

And now that I've found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me.

Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me...

(by Don Chapel)

I'll be your when the grass grows over me.

When you left I thought that I would soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Chorus:
Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold
Cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute of the night I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Chorus:
Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold
Cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me...

Oh, you said you wes my baby
Now I know that you're my baby
But it seems to me you got rovin' eye
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
You can't keep your finger in two different fire.

I remember how you pleaded
When you told me that you needed
My lovin' I believe it without a doubt
So if you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And you gotta leave 'em kissin' cousins out.

Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low
I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And be nobody's baby but mine.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I heard there was another
So I went and asked your mother
If anybody hung around 'sides me
She gave me no satisfaction
So now I can't take no action
But I think that I'll just hang around and see.

If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And you gotta come to me and tell me so
If you're gonna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
I'm tired of waitin' round so let me know.

Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low
I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And be nobody's baby but mine.

You've gotta be nobody's baby but mine...

I'd followed me to Texas I'd followed me to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I'd followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams

There's just one place for me
Near you
It's like heaven to be
Near you
Times when we're apart
And I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stay
More than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent
Near you
I'd be more than content
Near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
near you - near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll spend the rest of my days
Near you
Spend the rest of my days
Near you

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more
Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It

Do you take this man to be your husband?

I'll take this man, and by him I'll stand
I promise that we'll never part.
To him I'll be true, there'll be no one new
From now, till death do us part.

Do you take this woman to be your wife?

Yes, I'll take this woman. She'll be mine forever.
And I'll love her with all of my heart.
To have and to hold, our love won't grow cold.
I promise. Till death do us part.

We'll take each other, from this day forward,
Together in sickness or health.
United with love, we'll face life together,
If we're poor or if we have wealth.

For better or worse, you'll always come first
And no one can keep us apart.
Yes, we'll take each other, forsaking all others.
Together, till death do us part.

Together, till death do us part.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

If anyone could find the joy
That true love brings a girl and boy
We could, we could, you and I
If anyone could ever say
That their true love was here to stay
We could, we could, you and I
When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night
And thank the Lord that all is right
We could, we could, you and I
When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere

We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

(T.W.)
Life can be rough
Sometimes it's kind
A real good life
Is hard to find

But the best love
Is the one we've known
And the faith we have between us
Makes it grow

(G.J.)
Some love lives
And some love don't
We've got the kind
Of love we want

It brings us happiness
All through the day
And nothin' can ever make
It go away

(both)
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

(both)
Time will tell
If you're right or wrong
We know we're right
By holdin' on

And the future is set for you and me
Filled with love
The way we both want it to be

(both)
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold (we're gonna) on
FADES-
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old...

Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my my dreams with me,
I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long, long time.

And now that I've found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand
And walk through this world with me.

--- Instrumental ---

Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my dreams with me,
I searched for you so.

And now that I've found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me.

Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me...

When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there would be no sorrow,
That I'd laugh when you walked away.

But A little bitty tear let me down,
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown,
Oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.

I said that I would laugh when you left me
Pull a funny as you went out the door
That I'd have me another one a-waiting
Yes, to wave goodbye as you go.

But a little bitty tear let me down,
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown,
But a little bitty tear let me down.

Everything went like a planned it
And I really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it
Till you walked with your grip through the door.

Then a little bitty tear let me down,
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown,
But a little bitty tear let me down.

A little bitty tear let me down.
A little bitty tear let me down.
A little bitty tear let me down...

BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY
(Bill Monroe)
A≪&nbsp;Aⓒ '46 Peer International A≫
WITH MELBA MONTGOMERY

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
It was on the moonlight night the stars were shining bright
It whispered from on high your love has said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and said goodbye
I said the blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining...
Well it was on the moonlight night...
Well it was on the moonlight night...

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me for someday
I'll return and you know you're
The only one I'll ever love.

Too many nights
Too many stars
Too many moons to change your mind
If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine.

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me for someday
I'll return and you know you're
The only one I'll ever love.

--- Instrumental ---

Too many miles
Too many days
Too many nights to be alone
So please keep your heart while we're apart
Don't you linger in the moonlight while I'm gone.

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
The love blooms at night in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me for someday
I'll return and you know you're
The only one I'll ever love.

You're the only one I'll ever love...

As I look at the letters
That you wrote to me
It's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines
That to me were so sweet
I remember our faded love.

I miss you darlin' more and more everyday
As Heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
And remember our faded love.

--- Instrumental ---

I think of the past
And all the pleasures we've had
As I watch the mating of the doves
It was in the springtime
That you said goodbye
And I remember our faded love.

I miss you darlin' more and more every day
As Heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
And remember our faded love...

I found him by the railroad tracks this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said.

He said they let me out of prison back in Frisco
For ten long years I've payed for what I'd done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
Just to see my Rose and get to know my son.

Won't you tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
And tell my boy to help his mama at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone.

Mr. here's the bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
Now don't forget to give my love to Rose.

Give my love to Rose, won't you Mr.
Take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose...

It's a sin, my darlin', how I love you
Because I know our love can never be
It's a sin to keep this memory of you
When silence proves that you've forgetten me.

But dreams are built for us as humblers
Each tie is broken like my heart
It's a sin, my darling, how I love you
So mush in love and yet so far apart

--- Instrumental ---

I'm sure you're happy with another
Whose cares and lovin' I can't win
Why pretend that I can live without you
When deep inside I know that it's a sin...

Oh, the sun's gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Thing's are gonna be the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again.

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again.
No more loneliness
Only happiness
Love's gonna live here again.

--- Instrumental ---

I hear bells a ringing
I hear birds a singing
Love's gonna live here again.

I hear bees a hummin'
And I know the days are comin'
Love's gonna live here again.

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again.

No more loneliness
Only happiness
Love's gonna live here again.

--- Instrumental ---

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again.

No more loneliness
Only happiness
Love's gonna live here again...

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes,
Well the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, is as bright as the day, oh yes.

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace, peace in the valley for me, someday.

--- Instrumental ---

(Spoken)
Well, that old bear is goin' to be gentle
And the wolf will be tame
And that old lion is gonna lay down by the little lamb, (oh yes)
And the beasts from the wild
Ohh it's gonna be led by a child
(Sang)
I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am,
(Oh yes.)

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace, in that old valley for me, someday
There will be peace, in that old valley for me...

Written by Bob Wills

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone

It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue, up above
A moonlit path that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love

Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love, my own

Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

Instrumental

Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love, my own

Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone...

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care.

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers ev'rywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care.

But if she's happy thinkin' I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Oh, where would she get such an idea.

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care.

She thinks I still care...

Where's that gal with the red dress on,
Some folks call her Dinah
Stole my heart away from me
Way down in Louisiana

Chorus:
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry.

--- Instrumental ---

Little bee sucks the blossom
The big bee gives the honey
Dark man picks the cotton
The white man gets the money.

Chorus:
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry.

--- Instrumental ---

Walk 'n talk with Susie
Walk 'n talk with Susie
Walk 'n talk with Susie
Walk 'n talk with Susie.

We'll I've always got a great big smile
Never do look sour,
Travelin' all over this country
Playin' by the hour.

Chorus:
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry...

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free.

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new let me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free.

--- Instrumental ---

Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free.

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free...

George Jones & Gene Pitney

Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wandered
Buried deep in her grave lies a girl that I love
She was called from this earth, a jewel for heaven
More precious than diamonds more precious than gold.

A jewel here on earth, a jewel in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam.

--- Instrumental ---

When a girl of sixteen, we courted each other
She promised someday to become my sweet wife
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger
But the angels they called her to heaven one night.

A jewel here on earth, a jewel in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam...

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake
Now you might say that I was taking it hard
Since you wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting
What the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you'd gone from me
There's aching and pain in my heart
For the day was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
And I came out in second place

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

(No they'll never, ever take her love from me)

If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face, the God's would see
'Cause she'll walk along beside me, up to golden stairs
Oh, they'll never, ever take her love from me.

What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave
And to see her love turn into sympathy
It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave
Oh, they'll never, ever take her love from me.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
That we shared together in the used to be
Someone else's arms may hold her now in uncaress
But they'll never, ever take her love from me.

I thought I could make her happy if I'd step aside
But I knew her love would never set me free
And even on the day that she became another's bride
I'll say, they'll never, ever take her love from me...

There was a time when I thought of no other,
And we sang our own love's refrain;
Our hearts beat as one as we had our fun,
But time changes everything.

When you left me my poor heart was broken
Our romance seemed all in vain
The dark cloud have gone and there's blue skies again
'Cause, time changes everything.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, time has passed, I've forgot you
Mother nature does wonderful things
I guess that it's true for me and for you
'Cause, time changes everything.

Oh, you can change the name of an old song
Rearrange it and make it swing
I thought nothing could stop me from loving you
But time changes everything.

--- Instrumental ---

So good luck to you, may god bless you
I can't say that we won't love again
You have gone your way and I'll go mine
'Cause, time changes everything...

I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
But dear I hope you're happy just the same.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing now for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me.

--- Instrumental ---

I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even brought a little band of gold
I thought someday I'll place it on your finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold.

I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
And while the organ plays I'll love you truly
Please let me pretend that I am there.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I knew someday that you would wed another
But wedding bells will never ring for me...

The news is out all over town
that you've been seen a runnin' round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go, you win again.

This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do, you win again.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm sorry for your victim now
'Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say, you win again.

You have no heart you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still, you win again...

Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep.

But sleep won't come
The whole night through
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
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you.

--- Instrumental ---

Your cheatin' heart
Will pine someday
And crave the love
You threw away.

The time will come
When you'll be blue
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
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Is gonna tell on you...

When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there would be no sorrow,
That I'd laugh when you walked away.

But A little bitty tear let me down,
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown,
Oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.

I said that I would laugh when you left me
Pull a funny as you went out the door
That I'd have me another one a-waiting
Yes, to wave goodbye as you go.

But a little bitty tear let me down,
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown,
But a little bitty tear let me down.

Everything went like a planned it
And I really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it
Till you walked with your grip through the door.

Then a little bitty tear let me down,
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown,
But a little bitty tear let me down.

A little bitty tear let me down.
A little bitty tear let me down.
A little bitty tear let me down...

Writers: Johnny Mathis, V. Frank and George Jones

(Changed his name from Brown to blue.)

We stood there in the courthouse room
So close yet far apart,
You had brought your lawyer
And I'd brought a broken heart,
The judge pronounced the words
The way you wanted him to do,
And changed your name from Brown to Jones,
And mine from Brown to blue.

I couldn't keep my tears from falling,
On the courtroom floor,
By law, they took away my rights,
To love you anymore,
My world just seemed to stop,
While I stood there so close to you,
They changed your name from Brown to Jones,
And mine from Brown to blue.

The judge forgot to tell me
How I'd live my life alone,
What I would do without you
After loving you so long,
He didn't seem to care that
I am still in love with you,
He changed your name from Brown to Jones,
And mine from Brown to blue.

I couldn't keep my tears from falling,
On the courtroom floor,
By law, they took away my rights,
To love you anymore,
My world just seemed to stop,
While I stood there so close to you,
They changed your name from Brown to Jones,
And mine from Brown to blue...

Album: Sings the Hits of His Country Cousins
Written by Hank Williams, Sr.

Everybody says you let me down
That I should be ashamed to take you 'round
Makes no difference what you used to do
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you were reckless yesterday
But together, we can find a brighter way
In my heart, I know that you'll come through
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you

All the happiness I've ever known
Came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through
Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you've been cheated in the past
And perhaps those memories will always last
Even though you proved to be untrue
Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you...

I know you tried your best to love me,
You smiled when your heart told you to weep;
You tried to pretend that you were happy,
Last night I heard you crying in your sleep.

You gave the best years of your life, Dear,
And each precious vow you tried to keep;
I love you so much I want you happy,
Last night I heard you crying in your sleep.

--- Instrumental ---

Your heart is yearning for an old love,
With new love it's useless to compete;
It hurts me to know you are unhappy,
'Cause, last night I heard you crying in your sleep.

You know that you are free to go, Dear,
And don't mind if I start to weep;
I know I can never make you happy,
'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep...

I know you tried your best to love me,
You smiled when your heart told you to weep;
You tried to pretend that you were happy,
Last night I heard you crying in your sleep.

You gave the best years of your life, Dear,
And each precious vow you tried to keep;
I love you so much I want you happy,
Last night I heard you crying in your sleep.

--- Instrumental ---

Your heart is yearning for an old love,
With new love it's useless to compete;
It hurts me to know you are unhappy,
'Cause, last night I heard you crying in your sleep.

You know that you are free to go, Dear,
And don't mind if I start to weep;
I know I can never make you happy,
'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep...

I just don't like this kind of livin' I'm tired of doin' all the givin'
I give my all and sit and yearn and get no lovin' in return
And I just don't like this kind of livin'
Why do we stay together if we always fuss and fight
You ain't never done to be wrong and I ain't never been right
Tell me where you think we're goin' cause I ain't got no way of knowin'
When things go wrong you go your way you leave me here to pay and pay
And I just don't like this kind of livin'
[ steel ]
I just don't like the things you're doin' your evil heart will be your ruin
When things start running smooth and free you haul right off and you pick on me
And I just don't like this way of livin'
They say the road of love is long it's rocky and it's rough
But if this road don't start to get smooth I've traveled it long enough
Why don't you act a little bit older and get that chip off of your shoulder
Well I told you once now I'll tell you twice you better start to treatin' me nice
Cause I just don't like this kind of livin'

It's a sin, my darlin', how I love you
Because I know our love can never be
It's a sin to keep this memory of you
When silence proves that you've forgetten me.

But dreams are built for us as humblers
Each tie is broken like my heart
It's a sin, my darling, how I love you
So mush in love and yet so far apart

--- Instrumental ---

I'm sure you're happy with another
Whose cares and lovin' I can't win
Why pretend that I can live without you
When deep inside I know that it's a sin...

Well here I stand on this high ground
Looking out over this great big town
Searching for love that didn't treat me right
It's a lonesome old town tonight
I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay
A friend he told me that she came this way
He said that he saw her by the neon lights
It's a lonesome old town tonight
I see people walkin' and drivin' their cars
They're too far away for me to see who they are
I'm gonna go down so they will be in sight
It's a lonesome old town tonight
Well here I stand on this high ground
Looking for my baby but she can't be found
The stars are out and the moon is bright
It's a lonesome old town tonight
I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay...
Well here I stand on this high ground...
It's a lonesome old town tonight

I was ridin' No 9 headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam I left my gal and left my home
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow.

Just a kid acting smart I went and broke my darling's heart
I guess I was too young to know
They took me off that Georgia Main locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow.

--- Instrumental ---

All alone I bear the shame, I'm a number not a name
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry when the evening train goes by
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow.

I'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine, I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow...

(Just hang around my tears are overdue)

If you want to see somebody cry their heart out
For a love they lost and must live without
If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.

If you want to hear confessions from a broken man
Who once held a world of love, right in his hands
If you wanna see a heartbreak. right in two in front of you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.

Now there's not a way that I can say how much it really hurts
When a broken heart and guilty conscience starts to work
I hope you won't forget the sight you see today
Just remember love I had then threw away.

If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.
Just hang around my tears are overdue...

Just when the sunshines the brightest
And the world looks alright, again
Then the clouds fill the sky's
You can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just cant win.

My love never meant much to you dear
Or yo you I was always a friend
Oh, why did I call,
You have no heart at all
Sometimes you just cant win.

--- Instrumental ---

I can't live like this any longer
Not knowing just where I stand
I know I should't care
But sweetheart it don't seem fair
Sometimes you just cant win

And then when the sunshines the brightest
And the world looks alright, again
The clouds fill the sky's
You can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just can't win...

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free.

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new let me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free.

--- Instrumental ---

Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free.

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free...
