Pistolero pistolero.where do you ride? pistolero pistolero.you ride alone tonight.
One of brothers five one day vowed to try to make his way,
Joined the cattle drive to mexico.threw in with some bandidos,
Here he learned the lingo. killed the man they call him pistolero.
Five thousand pesos they put on your head.
Five thousand pesos to get you alive or dead.
Ride on ride hard in vaquero, fast as you can to her side.
Ah, but por mucho dinero, el noveno por nada have died.

Pistolero pistolero.where do you roam? pistolero pistolero.on your way home.
Everytime a candle burns, waiting there for your return.
The candle is out pistolero.i see the cabin down below.
Pistolero let her go.tonight you're mine pistolero.
Five thousand pesos they put on your head.
Five thousand pesos to get you alive or dead.
Ah pistolero look around you.your son has set in the sky.
Oh pistolero i found you, kiss maria tell maria goodbye.
Pistolero pistolero, lay your head down.
Pistolero pistolero, six feet underground.

Jolie...
Jolie, jolie my cherie
Pretty little french girl i met in paris
Jolie cute as she could be
Throwing me her kisses from her balcony

She had come hither eyes
And charm from her head to her feet
Really my jolie was neat
Golly my jolie was sweet

Jolie, jolie my cherie
Wish i had my jolie over here with me

She had come hither eyes
And charm from her head to her feet
Really my jolie was neat
Golly my jolie was sweet

Jolie, jolie my cherie
Wish i had my jolie over here with me

Wish i hadn't left her over in paris
On her balcony
Jolie my cherie
Jolie, jolie, jolie, jolie...

"roy orbison wants to get together again"

Baby, how it hurts to break up, but it's so much fun to make up
Let's do the things we used to do, you love me and i love you
Let's talk again, joke again let's get together for a coke again

Things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke
Let's relive the date that we just broke, our favorite cafe, the special of the day
The jukebox playing, things go better with coke

Well, waiter, waiter, treat us right, you remember what we like
She's back again, by my side again, waiter, we want to feel alive again

Things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke

Here comes that song again
They're playing that song again
I guess it will never end
They're playing it again

Here comes that song again
Here comes that old ache again
The story of my life begins
They're telling it again

I'll have to leave
I can't bear it anymore
There must be a place where
They'll play a different score

Here comes that song again
The jukebox must have found a friend
My heart will never mend
They're playing it again

Here comes that song again
The jukebox must have found a friend
My heart will never mend
They're playing it again

I walk down to the blue side of town
Where there's no happiness, no joy
Down at the end of a long dark street
I saw a little paper boy

Paper boy paper boy
I've got bad news for you
Paper boy paper boy
Me and my baby are through

She was my love my one and only
I feel so bad i'm oh so lonely
I'm looking for my love

I've got my own headlines for today
They've been the same since she went away
"one dark haired angel disappears
Seems like she's been gone a million years"

Paper boy paper boy
So long goodbye
Paper boy paper boy
Thanks for listening while i cry

I feel a little better now that someone knows
But i will go on looking forever, i suppose
I'm looking for my love

Extra extra read all about it
My baby's gone and i wanna shout it
I'm looking for my love
I'm looking for my love
I'm looking for my love
I'm looking for my love....

(eddie raven)

I read your letter just this morning
The first you've wrote since you've been gone
You've finally found yourself a home

You've bought a new car, a great big red one
With a top that rolls right down
You must be something in san fransisco
A dressed up, painted country clown

You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell
You're plain jane country come to town
The pace is too fast and you're out of your class
You're plain jane country come to town

You know i love you, at least you ought to
I've loved you all of my livin' days
You got no business makin' changes
Yeah girl, i love your country ways

Go sell that red car, catch an airplane
And i'll be waiting when you land
Yeah, get a white dress, find a preacher
We'll get some rings to fit your hand

You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell
You're plain jane country come to town
The pace is too fast and you're out of your class
You're plain jane country come to town
You're plain jane country come to town
You're plain jane country come to town

Hometown sweetheart.hung around in the dark.
Only make a move or two.i was just a young fool.
Never been to night school, didn't know enough to be cool.

So she found another lover, they went undercover.
The way she stole my heart was a crime
In order to keep the peace callin' out the police
Find her'fore i lose my mind.

The woman i love done gone and left me, no.
She's got a bad big record on the heartbreak radio.

A complete investigation, what's her destination.
Did she leave a trace at all?
Book on her suspicion.just look at my condition.
She left me here to take the fall.

That girl she sure can play it rough.she oughta be in handcuffs.
Make her wear a ball'n chain.oh, she's just a heart stealer.
Sweetest kind'a love dealer.she knows how to flix a game.

The woman i love done gone and left me, no.
She got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio.

Lonely hearts in distress. calling out an sos.
All across the u.s of a. come on back and serve your time.
Right here in these arms of mine. gotta have you home today.

Fbi, cid, help me, help me,help me please.

The one i love has gone and left me alone.
She got a bad big record on the heartbreak radio.
The one i love has gone and left me alone.
She got a bad big record on the heartbreak radio.
The one i love has gone and left me alone.
She got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio.
She got a bag bad record on the heartbreak radio.

Roy orbison/norman petty

A young couple stood under stars in the sky
They pledged their love with tears in their eyes
For this was a true love goodbye

They stood there trembling and couldn't speak
She tip toed and kissed his cheek
For this was a true love goodbye

A true love goodbye, they tried not to cry
With words so true, they both said "i love you"

Then they parted both broken hearted
But they'll meet again some day some way
Beyond this true love goodbye

A true love goodbye, they tried not to cry
With words so true, they both said "i love you"

Then they parted both broken hearted
But they'll meet again some day some way
Beyond this true love goodbye
True love, true love goodbye
Bye my love....

My time has come the clouds are calling.
December wind has came my way.
And now i feel the world falling.
All at once, it's too late.
Life fades away.

The night is my day.
All thoughts slip away
And even though, i must leave you.
Remember i love you.
I'll always be in your memories.
I will always be with you when i'm gone.

Hey, life fades away.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah.
Life fades away.

I'm tired on tomorrow.lost for today.
I long to be at peace forever.
My dull peace
And even though, i will miss you.
I must leave you.

Hey, life fades away.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah.
Life fades away.

So please forgive me.and try not to cry.
I long to be at peace forever more.
Forever more.

Oh yeah, yeah , yeah ,yeah ,yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah ,yeah , yeah, yeah.
Life fades away.
Life fades away.
Life fades away.away.

One last thing to say
Life fades away.

(orbison/dees)

Sadness slips into the room
On silent steps of sorrow
Stealing sleep and all my dreams
Where will we be tomorrow?

Lying with you, crying with you, drifting
Talking till dawn yet we go on, drifting
Don't understand where we began just drifting apart
Drifting apart feeling alone drifting away

We can't seem to work it out
Drifting from day to day
Wasn't it all about, drifting away
Drifting away, drifting away

Losing the feeling
And now the music of the song is almost gone
That we used to play
From sweet surrender from drifting away, drifting

Two lovers lost two rivers crossed, drifting
Two bridges burned, no lesson learned, drifting
Lonely together, hurting each other
Still we can't say that it's over
Can we bring back yesterday?
Will we be forever, forever drifting away
Drifting, drifting away

I used to be so shy
I'd just sit home and cry
And wish that i could die
Till lately, my oh my
I met that certain guy
He makes me feel so alive

Well i wake up every mornin' in a different world
I look in the mirror and i say "hey girl
Oh well, you're comin' out of your shell"

I say to myself "hey sue
There's such a change in you
For you're no longer blue
Since he made your dreams come true
So suzie, sue, suzie q
What are you gonna do?"

Gonna treat my baby like a king
For him i'd do most anything
Ah suzie, ring-a-ding-ding-ding

Suzie girl, i can tell
You're completely out of your shell
Ah suzie, you're doing swell

(the pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)



Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Pretty pencils to write i love you

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue



Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him

Downtown shoppers, christmas is nigh

There he sits all alone on the sidewalk

Hoping that you won't pass him by



Should you stop? better not, much too busy

You're in a hurry, my how time does fly

In the distance the ringing of laughter

And in the midst of the laughter he cries



Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Pretty pencils to write i love you

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Could you be true?
Should someone look as good as you?

It's the bonnie and clyde days
Where the girls wear curls and lace
And the boys can't stand the pace of war

It's not the war but the cause the country's fighting for
The seed of discontent is sown
They're burning card back home, back home

The old folks just can't ignore
The posters with ink anymore
I'm not sure what to think

Now i wonder why i'm on this foreign shore
To find peace of mind
For now i walk alone
Amd it's no better to leave than stay
And give more than i had to give

My life was not my own the wife i've never known
I may never know i may never go back home
To the land of the free, back home
To the land of the free back home
Would there be a place for me back home back home?

Well i always wonder why
Will they take me when i die back home

Roy orbison

Defeated, defeated
Defeated i've been
Defeated, defeated
I didn't win your love

I've played the game, my love was true
But just the same, i still love you

Defeated, defeated
Now i know the score
Defeated, defeated
Yet i love you even more

My opponent was lucky, didn't even try
Guess i'm a bad loser, that is why i cry
The game was fun, but oh, how i know
I should have won, i need you so

Defeated, defeated
The game is through
I've been defeated
But i'm still in love with you

Orbison/c & r price
Glittery eyes; witchy smiles
A good time is all you are after
Skin tight thighs; little white lies
Put you in the center of the laughter

But your reign of queen is over
Your fortress has been broken down
You're still the center of the laughter
But your role has changed to the clown

Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Someone broke your heart in two
Ooh poor baby
Who would have thought it could happen to you
Poor baby

A pretty face; sweet talkin' ways
Got you a part of the action
A come-over-touch, glances and such
You always had to be the main attraction

Now you're the one who's crying
You lost at your own lonely game
You're still the center of attraction
But now i'm gone, you've got yourself to blame

Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Do what you said you'd never do
Ooh poor baby
You let someone get much too close to you
Poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby

Orbison/dees

Coo coo, that's you, wonder why i love you, you do voodoo, thunder clouds above you
Crazy, kooky, lazy spooky, oh what a clown, always around
And i have found you're a woman. child woman. woman child

Long legged woman when i see you walking you look good
Hey little woman when i hear you talking you sound good
Child woman, woman child you're driving me wild child woman woman child
You're into my mind then you're out of my mind child woman
You wind and unwind my mind, time after time child woman ooh child woman, yeah child woman

Flying uptight, don't know where you're going, trying your kite when the wind is blowing
Funny lady, sunny, shady off to the fair, sun in your hair
Oh, you're aware you're a woman child woman, woman child
Strong minded woman when you start groovin' you look fine
My kind of woman when you start movin' you look fine

Child woman, woman child you're driving me wild child woman woman child
I don't see you there, i see you everywhere child woman
I don't even care -yes, i really do care child woman, ooh child woman,
Hey child woman child woman, woman child

Cry softly lonely one
It's over, it's said, it's done
Don't let your heart break down
He's not the only one
So you're blue, and lonely too
Don't fall apart
And when the teardrops start
You can cry;cry to me girl
Cry;cry to me girl
I'll be standing by
I will dry your eyes
But for now, cry softly lonely one

Cry softly lonely one
Your heartaches have just begun
And though they linger on
Carry on, be strong

You're baby's gone, left you alone
But i'll stand by you
On the long nights through
You can cry, cry to me girl
C'mon and cry, cry to me girl

From this moment on
Don't cry all alone
You can run to me;come to me
You can cry to me
Tonight and forever,lonely one

My life changes all the time.
Things were diff'rent when you were mine.
You loved me yesterday.
Now these changes have come to stay.
There have been changes,
So many changes along the way.
(too many changes,changes in the way).
(so many changes,changes in the how).
(to many changes, changes when you cry).

Time brings changes,right or wrong.
I still love you, but now you're gone.

Maybe someday love will come,
But who can say what kind of changes,
What kind of changes come my way.
(too many changes come along).
(too many changes,leaving me alone).
(so many changes,now that you are gone).

(orbison/dees)

When i was a boy i ran among the flowers
Looking left and right at the bright array
I played through the spring, whiled away the hours
Lingered with the flowers every day

Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, life's bouquet
Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, along the way

Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, life's bouquet
Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, along the way

When the summer ends and the storms of life are over
When the winter comes and the petals fall away
They may write it on my stone, "he was just a roller
But he stopped to pick some flowers along the way"

Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, life's bouquet
Flowers, picked some flowers, along the way

Sleepy head isn't it time that you were in your bed?
The sandman will be coming soon, with a dream or two
Perhaps tomorrow they will all come true

Ooh sleepy head whispering all the things that we left unsaid
And so it's time to make your weary way into a brand new day, tomorrow

The little pigs were certain that the wolf was here to stay
But in your dreams you'll chase that wolf away

Hey sleepy head the princess has been saved and the dragon's dead
Goodnight, and may god keep you in his sight
Safe until the early light, sleepy head, sleepy head, sleepy head.....

A kasha/j hirschorn

There's got to be a morning after, if we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine let's keep on looking for the light
Oh can't you see the morning after? it's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together and find a place that's safe and warm?

It's not too late, we should be giving, only with love can we we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living, let's put our hands out in time
There's got be a morning after, we're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow and we'll escape the darkeness
We won't be searching anymore

There's got be a morning after, we're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow and we'll escape the darkeness
We won't be searching anymore

There's got be a morning after
There's got be a morning after
There's got be a morning after

I'm losin my mind completely
From you telling lies so sweetly
Breaking my heart too neatly
I give up

You told me that you once loved me
And you placed yourself above me
Now i know you never loved me
I give up

I give up i'm through with trying
I give up i'm through with your lying
I give up i'm through with you
I give up i've done all i can do

I don't want to share tommorrow
I don't want your love to borrow
My life is filled with sorrow
I give up

I give up i'm through with trying
I give up i'm through with your lying
I give up i'm through with you
I give up i've done all i can do

I don't want to share tommorow
My life is filled with sorrow
I don't want your love to borrow
I give up

There's a cat in town that you might know
He goes by the name of domino
A long tweed jacket and a diamond ring
A blue sport car, he's a crazy king
They love him so that cat called domino, domino, domino

Well the girls all think that he's a real gone guy
They all flip when he walks by
Shanty clothes and cool white shoes
He's rearm' to go and never sings the blues
They love him so that cat called domino, domino, domino

He's got cool black hair and a solid style
Long side-bums and a crazy smile
A thousand girls, they'll tell you so
They dig that cat called domino
They love him so that cat called domino, domino, domino
Well domino, cool man go, domino, they love him so
Get out of the way, here comes domino, domino, domino

A light shown in the night some way ahead, blue turned into green then it was red
And stirring the night love music played the light i saw in the night was a penny arcade

Hey step up and play each machine seemed to say,as i walked round and round the penny arcade
Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle and you'll make all those colored lights cascade
And music played at the penny arcade, yes it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime

At first i thought it a dream that i was in, lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans i grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machine

Repeat chorus

Oh! repeat chorus

Roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last,
Roll up and spend your last dime

The night is still the wind is chilled
I hear the rain falling on my window pane

Can't close my eyes, afraid to sleep
Cause when i do i would only dream of you

I'm trying to forget that we ever met
But how can i forget and dream of you?

Afraid to sleep because i'd dream of you
Afraid to sleep because i'd wake up feeling blue
If i stay awake forever,we'd never be together
So i'll close my eyes and go ahead and dream

Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweer dreams....

It's a long and lonely highway.
When you're traveling all alone.
I was on my way to nowhere.
But now i'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

I've been running through the fire.
I've been running for so long.
If i took it any higher.
Baby i would be still be gone.

And now i'm coming home,
Coming home.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home, coming home
Coming home.

Well my home was really never.
On a far and distant shore.
If i stayed away forever.
I could never miss you more.

And so i'm coming home,coming
Home.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home,coming home,
Coming home.

I think of all these years gone by.
Never even wondered why.
I never touched the ground.
All the time that's come and gone.
All the nights i've been alone.
And now i'm homeward bound.

I heard the thunder over canaan.
And i heard the angels cry.
And their voices came revealing
As you live,so will you die.

I'm coming home,coming home,
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home,coming home,
Coming home.

If i my friend can't tell you.
When you my friend are wrong.
Not to do what you want to
Just because it's wrong.

Well then my friend in passing.
We've been friends too long.
And i my friend must tell you,
Leave that woman alone.

Your little girls might not understand,
And you know the baby would cry.
And what would you do if their mommy knew,
And she told you "goodbye"?

Let it end my friend say it's over,
And thank the stars above.
That you've got a home to run to,
And a sweet sweet woman to love.
I must say my friend if you stay my friend.
Leave that woman alone.leave my woman alone.

We never walk we never talk
We never find the time to be close again
There it goes again
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

Too much concern for money to burn
Too many things to do now you don't need me
And i don't need you
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

One by one they fail now the leaves our lover
Cling to the ground
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

Too much too soon too much temptation
In a hurry it's a sad situation
Too much worry i can tell well it's over now
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

There it goes
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

When it's right, it's all right
When it's wrong, it's all wrong
When it's gone, it's all gone
It's too late
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I can tell well it's over now

Well you should be an actress
You play your part so well
Your act is so believable
That no one else can tell

You say the lines, but i see
That you don't really love me

You keep me around to be your faithful clown
Till someone you can love comes along
You'll keep on pretending
Because the show must go on

Yes, you should be an actress
As lovely as you are
The way you play on emotion
You'd shame the brightest star

You're acting all the time
No, you're not really mine

I'm just another scene in your play acting scheme
No, you dont love me at all
But when you walk away
That's when the curtain will fall

But i'll go all the way to the end of the play
I'll be a part of your masquerade
Although i know it may be the saddest show
In the life of a fool on parade

(newbury)

Here comes the rain baby
Guess it's goodbye again baby
For awhile it was fun, we could walk in the sun
But you never could stand the rain, could you baby.

See the rain in my eyes, baby
I never could stand goodbyes, baby
For awhile you were mine
But the sun can't always shine
And you never could stand the rain could you baby.

[whistling interlude]

For awhile you were mine
But the sun can't always shine
And you never could stand the rain could you baby.

I tried to keep the rain from falling
You know i tried to keep the rain from falling
It's not the rain in the skies
It's the rain in my eyes
That won't ever stop falling, baby.

Written by john loudermilk

Flowers have blooms, the oceans have waves.
The sky has the clouds, people have babes
I wanna live,

Been beat up and battered around
Been sent up and i've been shut down
You're the best thing that i've ever found
Handle me with care
Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
But baby you're adorable
Handle me with care

I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care?
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on

I've been fucked up and i've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
Daycare census and night schools
Handle me with care

Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed commercialized
Handle me with care

I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on

I've been uptight and made a mess
But i'll clean it up myself i guess
Oh the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care

Roy orbison

I'm falling, i'm falling
Falling in love with you

Baby, come closer closer to me, and listen listen so carefully
Remember all the nights that i told you that i loved you
It wasn't true,i used you,and you were just someone new

To thrill this lonely heart of mine
I was lying all the time
Pretending to be falling in love with you
But it's different now, i've kissed you now
So forgive me forgive me somehow

Hold me tight for tonight, then tell me truth
If you still love me, say that you love me
Don't leave me now

Now that i'm falling for you
I'm falling, i'm falling
Falling in love, falling in love with you

Weit im suden, leigt ein hafen
Es war vunderbar, dort vor einem jahr
Tausend wunder, dort im hafen sind die grunde
Das ich bald, nach suden fahr

San fernando, san fernando
Ich komm weider, wenn die rosen wieder bluhn
San fernando, gruss maria
Gruss die sterne und die liebesmelodien

Weit im suden, leigt ein hafen
Der voll zauber ist, den man nei verygisst
Doch das schonste, doch im hafen
Sind die lippen, die mich tausendmal gekusst

San fernando, san fernando
Ich komm weider, wenn die rosen wieder bluhn
San fernando, gruss maria
Gruss die sterne und die liebesmelodien

How do you expect me, honey
To stand here so nonchalant
When the way you move your body
It's telling me what you are

You're a boogie baby, ain't no maybe
And you're driving me crazy, ooh tonight

It's just not fair, no
That look in your eyes when you smile
You're a liberated woman
But you still know how to use your feminine wiles

You're a boogie baby, ain't no maybe
And you're driving me crazy. ooh tonight

Woman, you are already a star
And what you're doing is tearing me apart
You'd better find yourself another man
If you're not out to tease
Cos this here man is looking to please

Lights flickering 'cross the floor
Making my light head spin
Or is it just you. you sexy lady
Winkin' my way again

You're a boogie baby, ain't no maybe
And you're driving me crazy, ooh tonight

Woman, you are already a star
And what you're doing is tearing me apart
You'd better find yourself another man
If you're not out to tease
Cos this here man is looking to please

Written by orbison/melson

The woman is out on her own.
Walking the streets, sad and alone.
Yes she sells herself for nickles and dimes.
These are hard times for a harlem woman.
Harlem woman.

Yes you work at night.i have held you tight.
But you're not aware of how much i care.

No you can't see your baby's been hungry and cold.
So long nights through, go on and do what you must do,
I love you.i love you harlem woman.
Harlem woman.

Sometimes i cry, but i'll get by till your mine alone.
So carry on to other arms,tender but strong.
Till you belong to me

Harlem woman hang on.
I'll take you away.
Someday i'll set you free to be with only me.

Till then i'll know,...
Lord knows, i'll know
They can buy the body
But not the soul of my harlem woman
Harlem woman, harlem woman
Hang on

(words & music by walker - arnold)

You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And i can hardly speak, my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell, you think you know me well
But you don't know me
No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you i'm just a friend, and that's all i've ever been
No, you don't know me

For i never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy i let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
To never, never know the one who loves you so
No, you don't know me

Well i've been to a lot of places and i've seen a lot of things
But i ain't never found the girl of my dreams
Been coast to coast and back again but i'm as lonely as i've been

New york, 'frisco too, old chicago, even st.lou'
Been to dallas and new orleans
But i ain't never found the girl of my dreams

Well i don't know where and where and don't know when
This lookin' for love will ever end, but i'll keep searchin' everywhere
Mmm to find a love that'll really care

New york, 'frisco too, old chicago, even st.lou'
Been to dallas and new orleans
But i ain't never found the girl of my dreams

Well i rambled around and i never met the one true love you can't forget
So i travel on from town to town, oh, until my sweetheart can be found

Boudleaux bryant

It seems to me that love will drive me crazy
It's not at all what i thought it would be
Instead of being happy, i'm wild with jealousy
Afraid someone will steal your heart from me

It seems to me that all the boys adore you
And you don't know what torture that can be
Our love is filled with sweetness
But it's mixed with misery
At least that's how it seems to me

Our love is filled with sweetness
But it's mixed with misery
At least that's how it seems to me

Roy orbison/will jennings/j.d.souther

Baby it's hard sometimes to wake and face this life everyday.
Sometimes it's bad enough to stop and through the good all away.
Tonight let's put the world aside and let go toghether.
The night is one place we can hide in each others arms.
Dream on forever.

Come on baby,and we'll take the night.
While the stars are willing and the moon is right.
Dreams are shining in a magic light.
Come with me,oh we'll take the night.
You and me,oh we'll take the night.
Baby, we'll take the night.

Look up and let the night unfold.
Hold on to the feeling.
Reach out and let it touch your soul.
And give in to love,love is believing.

Come on baby,and we'll take the night.
While the stars are willing and the moon is right.
Dreams are shining in a magic light.
Come with me,oh we'll take the night.
You and me,oh we'll take the night.

If everystar should fall.
And tomorrow lose all meaning.
We would still have had it all.
It's locked away inside our hearts.
There for the dreaming.

Come on baby,and we'll tale the night.
While the stars are willing and the moon is bright.
Dreams are shining in the magic light.
Come with me,oh we'll take the night.
You and me, oh we'll take the night.

Come on baby, and we'll take the night.
While the stars are willing and the moon is bright.
Dream are shining in a magic light.
Come with me, oh we'll take the night.
You and me,yeah we'll take the night.

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, i will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough and friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silvergirl sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Orbison/dees

You're the figure of a woman
You're the mind of a child
A pretty whirlwind

You don't know just what you're doing
When you love me with your smile
A lovely whirlwind

A whirlwind of warm desire
Whirlwind, burning fire woman, realize
That the devil in disguise, is a whirlwind
Born to be running wild and free
Whirlwind

Born to make fools of guys like me
You pick me up like a whirlwind
You put me down like a whirlwind
Each time you touch me i'm trouble-bound
Whirl,whirl,whirlwind, whirl,whirl,whirlwind
Whirl,whirl,whirlwind, whirl,whirl,whirlwind
Whirlwind

A thousand ways, a thousand days
The song of the world haunts a memory
I played my part, it broke my heart
But on the mend, i found a friend

I belong to him, i belong to him

Oh he'll sing a song, i'll even drive along
Cos the songs i hear are from forever
Another day, another way we both sing together

I belong to him, i belong to him

Take my hand, and let's hold his hand, let's stand together
I wash his feet as i wash your feet, let's all sing together

I belong to him, i belong to him
I belong to him, i belong to him
I belong to him, i belong to him
I belong to him, i belong to him...

No one really cares if i cry
No one, no one since you said goodbye
No one

Nowhere to go, not a thing to do
Oh, that's what i get for loving you
No one

No one to dream about, no one
No one since love walked out on me
No one
No one to dream about, no one
No one since love walked out on me

Oh, nowhere to go, not a thing to do
Oh, that's what i get for loving you
No one, no one

Well you can act like a monkey, shake your hands do the limbo till you can't stand,
Well you can mash your potata, hippy hippy shake, but the beats' still wild and your feet still ache
I say it's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll

Well you can do the duck, walk your dog down the street, loop the loop to a swingin beat,
You can twist and shout and do the stomp, a chase a chicken on a pony romp ah but
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing,
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll

Well they all try to shake it another way, but they rock, they roll just the same
They only call it by another name and i don't care what they say, woah,oh,oh

Down in the jungle where the tree tops are steep, they get the fever for a bongo beat,
They do the ubangie stomp, the safari hop, do the monkey until they drop

Ah but it's just another name for rock and roll everybody,everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, everybody,everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody,everybody sing.......

Orbison/melson

Am i blue since you said forget
Forget that we ever met
It's too late, oh too late
Can't forget
This crazy thing was just a fling
But oh, i can't forget

Don't want it to end
Can't forget
Can't leave it, can't take it
Can't forget

Just remember, oh i still love you
Don't forget
It's over and done, i'm the lonely one
Because i can't forget

It's over and done, i'm the lonely one
Because i can't forget

Mickey newbury

Yes, i suppose at times
I think about her
She was once so much a
Part of me
Heaven knows i've learned to
Live without her
And hell, it was, at times
It was a painful memory
But for all it matters now, if it does
For all that tried to be, but never was
For all the times i've tried,
I wouldn't change it if i could
For all she meant to me, i'll remember the good
I'll forget the bad
All the good times we've had
Won't make me quite so sad
When i'm remembering
And for all the times i've tried,
I wouldn't change it if i could
For all she meant to me, i'll remember the good
For all she meant to me, i'll remember the good.

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little jimmy brown was born

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for baby jimmy brown
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation"
"guide him with eternal love"

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life
'cause the songs that they were singing was for jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"lead us not into temptation, bless, oh lord this celebration"
"may their lives be filled with love"

>from the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy brown had passed away

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
'twas farewell that it was singing to our little jimmy brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation"
"of thy great eternal love"

Don gibson

Everywhere i go heartache just hurts me so
I can't escape from you, and i'm hurting
Sorrow is by my side, misery is my guide
Every minute is blue, and i'm hurting

Loving you from day to day, memories that make this poor fool pay
Time can't heal my yesterdays, loving you, loving you

I cry each tear in vain, my hopes are all the same
My future is nothing but blue and i'm hurting

Loving you from day to day, memories that make this poor fool pay
Time can't heal my yesterdays, loving you, loving you

I cry each tear in vain, my hopes are all the same
My future is nothing but blue and i'm hurting, im hurting

(orbison)

There once was an indian brave by the name of yellow hand
He fell in love with a maiden know as white sands
They vowed their love would last forever more
Then came the day that they had waited for.

Yellow hand brought her a golden feather
White sands said a prayer for good weather
The ceremonial dance grew loud and strong
Then yellow hand began their wedding song.

Oooooh oooooh oooh ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight, we will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh white sands, come hold my lonely hand.

Then they left the warmth of the raging fire
And rode into the hills climbing higher
And suddenly the snow came swirling down
They were lost the trail could not be found.

Oooooh oooooh oooh ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight we will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh white sands, come hold my lonely hand.

They never returned from paradise
They went to their places in the sky
And the old ones still say when the snowflakes fly
If you'll listen close you'll hear him cry:

Oooooh oooooh oooh ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight we will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh white sands, come hold my lonely hand.

May the world you live in bring the good life
That grows sweeter as it mellows with time
May the world you live in be a world love lives in
A love like your love and mine

May the children you bear bring contentment
As you guide them with your gentle hand
May you know all the things true love can bring
Between a woman and a man

May the dreams that you build always be filled
Keep the love shining in your eyes
If the bad times or the sad times ever come to you
Let this man be the one that you always turn to

May the seasons of your life touch you gently
And may happiness you always find
May these arms that surround you always be around you
And the world that you live in forever be mine

Oh i've been loving you a little too long
I dont wanna stop now, oh with you my life,

I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then i must go and you must stay

So mary marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can
Before it's too late
And love me now
For now is all the time there may be
And if you love me mary, mary marry me

I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away
And if they call then i must go
Who knows where or who can say?

So mary marry me, let's not wait
For those distant drums
Might change our wedding day
And love me now
For now is all the time there may be
And if you love me mary, mary marry me
Yes if you love me mary, mary marry me

This lackadaisical mood is driving me mad, i'm feeling so lazy
Flowers in bloom, and i'm humming a tune
I've looked at the moon till i'm crazy

The temperature is a little bit warm, and though i know he meant no harm
Oh, spring fever has got me in love with you, with you, with you, oh, spring fever
Church bells are ringing and the birdies are singing, cute little cupid is calling
The birds and the bees and the budding trees have made the love bug come calling

I feel just like a love sick fool, mother nature, now don't be cruel because oh,
Spring fever has got me so in love with you, with you, with you, oh, spring fever
Spring has sprung, well i've really been stung, there's no reason to doubt it
I'm really in love, cupid gave me the shove, there ain't no two ways about it

By this beautiful sky of blue i swear i'll never get over you, oh spring fever
Has got me so in love with you, oh, spring fever

M.curb/enders/hemric

How do you start over again?
Tell me, where do you begin?
What does a loser do
When love seems lost?
When bridges are burning
Can they still be crossed?

How do you start over,over again?
How do you begin what's already been?

When love was young,we knew our love would last
But now our dreams are somewhere in the past
And i don't know which way to go
I only know i miss you so
And wish somehow it could be
The way it was with you and me
Remember when
How do you start over,over again?

How do you make love when the feeling is gone?
How do you make wrong right,when right seems so wrong?

Just tell me you love me and then
We can start over, over again

(bill justis)

My girlfriend slipped and fell
Now she's hanging from a cliff
I can't come to her rescue
But these flowers i must sniff

You see i'd really like to save her
But i aint got the nerve
I'm chicken hearted
I'm chicken hearted

I'm tryin' to kiss my girl
And it makes me want to faint
I'm scared of my own shadow
And afraid of what i ain't

I've no inspiration
I'm kinda yellow...
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

Mama's in the workshop
Daddy's in the jail
I seem to be afraid
To go to work and make their bail

I guess my folks will have
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Every time i look into your lovely eyes,
I see a love that money just can't buy.
One look from you, i drift away.
I pray that you are here to stay.

Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.
Baby!

Every time i hold you i begin to understand,
Everything about you tells me i'm your man.
I live my life to be with you.
No one can do the things you do.
Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.
Baby!
Anything you want
Anything you need
Anything at all

I'm glad to give my love to you.
I know you feel the way i do.
Anything you want, you got it.

Last night, last night, last night, you loved me, how you loved me
Oh, you made me love you last night
Oh how you teased me like you did it, when you did it last night
Pleased me like you did it, when you did it last night

You stole my heart away from me last night
Holding you tight, did it mean as much to you as it meant to me, last night
Were you just lonely, was i just a friend?, did you want me only, or did you pretend?
Was it just one night to hold you tight? then make tonight just like last night

Come on and love me like you did it, when you did it last night
Hold me like you did it when you did it last night
I want you to stay and love me all the way
Say sweet things to me like you said last night, hang on so tight
Now it's alright, just like last night i feel so fine now, you are mine now
Yeah, just like last night, yeah kiss me like you did it
When you did it last night, yeah, touch me like you did it
When you did it last night, ah love me like you did it
When you did it last night, last night

Lavender lace, tears on my face
Our love ??? to celebrate our first date
But i'm alone in lavender lace

Lavender lace, there's not a trace
Of that guy that i love so well
Now he won't see me in lavender lace

Why oh why didn't my baby show?
Why oh why, didn't he love me, no
I don't know if i've ever been so lonely
Lonely in lavender lace

Oh, lavender lace seems out of place
It's 2am, well what's with him, making me cry?
Giving me blues in lavender lace

(orbison/dees)

She was the wind, the earth and sky
She was the one who made me laugh and cry
She was cake and she was wine
She was fun and she was mine

She'd lie lie lie to me
And i'd believe her
She'd cry and cry and cry for me
I couldn't leave her

No one could hurt, no one could flirt
And no one could smile like she could
She was misery and sorrow
She was reason for tomorrow

The smile of the cat was on her face
A shepard way she love to run the race
The style of the fox men embrace
To know her was to love her
And no one could treat me like she could

She was just a little girl
She was a woman of the world
She was all my dreams
She was many things
But she is, she was, she'll always be
A woman

Roy orbison/mike curb

Man by himself lives in a world a world of his own
But there's no one who can live in the world all alone
For it takes all kinds of people
It doesn't matter where they come from
Yes it takes all kinds of people
The good, the bad, and everyone

On the way up, a man can walk over his friends
What goes up comes down
One day he may need them again
For it takes all kinds of people
It doesn't matter where they come from
Yes it takes all kinds of people
The good, the bad, and everyone

Therell come the day when everyone passes him by
What will he say when nobody answers his cry?
That it takes all kinds of people
It doesn't matter where they come from
Yes it takes all kinds of people
It may take some time
But each man will find
That he needs all kinds of people
That he must believe in people
Yes it takes all kinds of people
To make a world

I'll bring you the talon from an eagle
A big black pearl from the sea
I'll bring one and twenty ponies
If you'll bring wildflower to me

Medicine man,make your magic mine
Turn wildflower to a clinging vine
Medicine man won't you please help me
Don't leave me down in misery

Rattle them bones,then roll them stones
And make wildflower mine

I will bring you white buffalo
I'll bring honey from the bee
I'll keep fire-water flowing
If you'll get the big chief to agree

Medicine man, help me if you can
Write a secret message in the sand
Medicine man, please let her know
Tell wildflower that i love her so

Take the breeze and shake the trees
And make wildflower mine

Now she has no use for a white man
Helpless and worthless like me
Tell her father big-strong-hand
To let wildflower comfort me

Medicine man,medicine man
Let it be known throughout the land
Medicine man, medicine man
I have to have the hand of wildflower

Take this piece of calico
Make a dress with a pretty bow
Tie it with a thread of lace
Take it to your secret place
Go into your sacred dance
Say a prayer for our romance
And make wildflower mine

The eyes of texas are upon you
All the live long days
The eyes of texas are upon you
And you cannot get away

Do not think you can escape them
From night till early in the morn
The eyes of texas are upon you
Till gabriel blows his horn

The eyes of texas are upon you
All the live long days
The eyes of texas are upon you
And you cannot get away

Do not think you can escape them
From night till early in the morn
The eyes of texas are upon you
Till gabriel blows his horn

Recorded 1964 by sue thompson

When we walk by people stop and stare
They say that you don't care
What people say about you
But i know that you do and i do too

But let them say what they may
We'll find a way to make our dreams come true
Bad boy, bad boy i'll stand by you

I've heard them say you'll never change
That you're bad and bad to stay
You're just that way
And there's nothing that you can do

But my love for you will se me through
And darling, i'm so proud
So proud that i'll tell them out loud
That i'm in love with you
Bad boy bad boy....

Sweet mama, come love me, sweet mama, come hug me, sweet mama, i want your love

Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness i think i'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy i sure am blue

She was my baby 'tlll he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye bye love bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness i feel like i could die
Bye bye my love goodbye

I'm free from romance i'm through with love
I'm through with counting the stars above
And here's the reason that i'm so free
My loving baby is through with me

Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness i think i'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
Bye bye my love goodbye

Roy orbison /bill dees

Oh my darling, i fear everytime you're near
I will hurt you again, so don't wait till then
Shy away, shy away, shy away from me

There's a shadow of doubt and my mind can't work it out
I' not sure of myself, so put me on your shelf
And shy away, shy away, shy away from me

You're too much of a woman, when will you understand?
I've got a lot of the devil in me, so never hold my hand again
Shy away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

If i reach out for you, i'll break your heart in two
And i want you to stay so please hear what i say
Shy away, shy away, shy away from me

Please keep away from me, far away, safe from me
Darling, you must shy away, yeah-hey

Orbison/ crowell

The good times are all gone
The night keeps coming on so strong
You can't hold on, no matter what you do
Will there be someone who cares for you
When the blue hour comes?
When the blue hour comes?

And when your restless heart
Tears your world apart
And everywhere you turn
It's falling down on you
Will there be a light that shines for you?

When the blue hour comes for you
If there's anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and i'll be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes

Good times don't last forever
Sometimes it's now or never
Darling, reach out for me
You know where i'll be
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes

When the blue hour comes for you
If there's anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and i'll be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes

I will always be there
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes....(repeat to fade)

Conway twitty also did a version of this with roy singing background vocals

I'm in a blue blue mood
Now that you're gone away
I'm in a blue blue mood
It's been a lonesome day
I'm in a blue blue mood
I miss your caress
I reach out to hold you
But you're not there
It's just my blue blue mood.

Maybe, someday, yeah love will come
And stay, and things will turn
How bright, oh oh oh but for tonight
I'm in a blue blue mood.

I'm in a blue blue mood
I'm in a blue blue mood
I'm in a blue blue mood.

If your love for me is just temporary
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while

And if i'm not in your plans for a lifetime
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while

Just like a child at play
I'll make believe you'll stay
And if you go away
I'll always miss my best playmate

So if your sweet kiss is just for the moment
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while
Just let me make believe a while

Sugar and honey, is what i cry for
Sugar and honey, is what i'd die for
And darlin' doll you make my life worthwhile
Because i want you sugar and honey.

It's alright sugar and honey, mornin' noon and night
Yeah sugar and honey anytime, ah sugar and honey all the time

When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving you

The worst that i've ever been hurt in my life
The first time i ever have wanted to die
Was the night when you told me you loved someone new
And asked me if i could forget

When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving you

You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
You may teach the raindrops to return to the sky
But you can't teach my heart to forget

When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving you
Key change
When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving you

(instrumental only)

Well i want you to understand me
I don't want you to be confused
I see through that line you're tryin' to hand me
And i don't like being used

So i think you better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yes i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you

Well you're gifted in your conversation
And you've got a ?? that's mighty strong
And i had you in consideration
But you didn't fool me for long

So i think you better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yes i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you

Well who am i to tell you what to do?
I love you just enough to tell you true - you better stop
But if you're content with a one night stand
Then go on, play the field
But just make sure that that's the way you really feel
You better stop - stop - stop
Yes i think you better stop

You don't really have to change your lifestyle
Just stretch it and let it go
And maybe baby, in the meanwhile
We will fall in love, and you will know

That you had better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yeah i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you

You had better stop
Before it comes back on you
You better stop - stop - stop
Yes i think you better stop
You better stop
You better stop
You better stop

(orbison--dees)

We walk in shadows, we talk in shadows
We date in shadows dark and cold

But wait, it will be alright
Wait, baby hold me so tight
I hate to break your loving heart in two
But wait, i can't stay away from you.

I promise you i'll be with you tomorrow night
I have to wait until the time is right
Yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now
Wait a little longer now for me
Oh what you do to me
Wait now until i am free

Yeah yeah yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now for me
Wait, come on come on girl
Wait, try to be strong girl

Working all day and the sun don't shine
Trying to get by and i'm just killing time
I feel the rain fall the whole night through
Far away from you california blue

California blue dreaming all alone
Nothing else to do california blue
Everyday i pray i'll be on my way
Saving love for you california blue

One sunny day, i'll get back again
Somehow, someway but i don't know when
California blue california blue

Living my life with you on my mind
Thinking of things that i left far behind
It's been so long doing all i can do
To get back to you california blue

California blue dreaming all alone
Nothing else to do california blue
Everyday i pray i'll be on my way
Saving love for you california blue

One sunny day i'll get back again
Somehow, someway but i don't know when
California blue california blue

Still missing you california blue
Still missing you california blue

Hey here i go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos i know i've got my fast guitar
Singing pretty songs, knowing i belong
I am first and last, and always a fast guitar

The fastest guitar alive
Rattling strings like a gattling gun
Shaped like a lovely woman
Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive

I'm rolling on like a rolling stone
Gathering no moss, i play a boss guitar

The fastest guitar alive
Strumming like a battling soldier's drum
Shaped like a lovely woman
Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive

Hey here i go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos i know i've got my fast guitar
The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar alive

It's been so long since you dropped by the store
You're still as pretty as you were before
You've still got personality and poise
You were always such a hit with me and the boys

What - you need some candy
A magazine, some toys
To take back home
To bobby and the boys

Yes i remember bobby
Mr. popularity
Do you ever tell him
How it was with you and me?

Here, take the candy
There'll be no charge for the toys
And give my best
To bobby and the boys

As i lock up, there my baby goes
How much i love that girl, nobody knows
Guess i'll go out to bright lights and noise
While she goes home to bobby and the boys
While she goes home to bobby and the boys

Traveling wilburys

(chorus 1)
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring

(chorus 2)
Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well it's all right, everyday is judgement day

Maybe somewhere down the road aways
You'll think of me, wonder where i am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple haze

(chorus 3)
Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

Don't have to be ashamed of the car i drive
I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive
It don't matter if you're by my side
I'm satisfied

(chorus 4)
Well it's all right, even if you're old and grey
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive

(chorus 5)
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

Mama, just had to call, oh mama
Your baby boy just had his heart
Broken in two, she said we're through
But to send her best to you.
Oh mama, i'd like to run to you mama
I'd come home today, leave right away
But things won't work that way
Gotta stay, and be a man
If i can, oh mama.

No mom, i don't know i called her tonight
No, not at home, yeah, you're probably right
Yes i'll take care of myself. no i'll be alright
I'll go to bed early tonight.
Oh mama, tell dad i think of him, mama
How's uncle joe, my puppy go-go
Tell them hello, oh i'd better go
But good gosh, i loved her so.

Oh mama, don't worry so much, darling mama
Now mama don't cry, just say goodbye
Can't have us both in tears well mom, you know me
Yes i'll always be your baby through all the years.

The summer sun looked down
On our love long ago
But in my heart i feel
The same old afterglow

A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

We were too young to understand
To ever know
That lovers drift apart
And that's the way love goes

A love so beautiful
A love so sweet
A love so beautiful
A love for you and me

And i when i think of you
I fall in love again
A love so beautiful
In every way

A love so beautiful
We let it slip away
A love so beautiful
In every way

A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

Love laughed at you and made you blue
Now here's what you should do

Well laugh, though your heart is breaking in two
Yeah laugh, don't let them know he hurt you
Well laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh

Laugh, though the one you love is really gone
Yeah laugh, even though you'll be alone
Yeah laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh

Well let me hear you laugh now
Though it's hard, so hard for you to do
Laugh with me, cos you see
I've been there too

Well laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh and believe it's not the end
Yeah laugh like a clown
Don't let your heart break down
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh

Love laughed, it's true
But look at you
Now you're laughing too

Words and music: m. cowan

Roy sang this song whilst on an australian tour
It was taped by a fan and circulated.....

Once a jolly swagman, camp´d by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watch´d and waited till his billy boiled,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
And he sang as he sat and waited till his billy boiled,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shaoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
And he sang as he shaoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down come the troopers, one, two, three,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you´ve got in your tucker bag?
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you´ve got in your tucker bag?
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong,
Drowning himself by the coolibah tree,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Written by orbison/melson.
When evening shadows fall.
I'm not lonely at all.
Now that you're with me i recall.
How much i love you.

Close again.
Now i'm alright, tonight we're close again.
Touching your hand means that we're close again.
Reaching each other now within
At last we're two are really close again.

How long has it been since we loved like this?,
I'll never ever know.
It seems like only yesterday.
Yet it seems so long ago.

Close again.
Down deep inside we're both are close again.
A love that died can be alive again.
I can survive because you've let me in.
Into your heart so very close again.

So love me,like you loved me when you loved me,
And say that's all you want to do.
I am what i am,and all that i am.
Is in love with you,and only you.

So close again.
That's all that matter,we're close again.
Dreams that were scattered are close again.
Hearts that were shattered begin to mend.
Can't help but cry.
For you and i are close again.

Oh i'm thinking tonight of my jenny
Who has gone far away now from me
Oh.i'm thinking tonight of my jenny
And i wonder if she ever thinks of me?

Long ago we were strollin' together
All the shores and the drive-in's we did see
Now she spends all her time with another
But i wonder if she ever thinks of me?

Oh i'm thinking tonight of my jenny
Who has gone far away now from me
Oh.i'm thinking tonight of my jenny
And i wonder if she ever thinks of me?

Oh i'm thinking tonight of my jenny
Who has gone far away now from me

How have you been, girl?
Hold me, and then girl
Just let me look at you.
Tell me, now, is it true?

Oh, did you break up?
No chance to make up.
I hate to take up all your time,
But tell me.

Oh, no it won't be repeated.
You mean to tell me he cheated?
Oh, what a fool he's been
Oh, he is my best friend

I hate it this way,
But i've waited for this day.
I've always wanted
You to be my girl.

You're my girl, yeah my girl.
I still don't believe it
He played around on you.
All the time he knew
I loved you too

With your big eyes,full lips,
High cheek bones,
And everything about you, girl.
Your personality girl,
Gimme a chance, come on,
Let's dance,some
Dance the night awa--y;

You're my girl.you're my girl
Baby doll, baby, baby, hold me tight.
Be mine tonight, say it's alright.
And i will never, ever let you go, oh...
You're my girl, be my girl,
You're my girl.you're mine,
You're my girl.

Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, woo-hoo-hoo
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, please come back to me
Last night a certain rockabilly singer came to town
My gal says that she'd like to hear his crazy rhythm sound
So we went down to see him and he shook her up for sure
'cause today he's gone and my heather, she is following his tour
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, woo-hoo-hoo
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, please come back to me

This guy was just a hillbilly singer at the start
But when he added rock 'n' roll he tore the place apart
The moment my gal heard him, you'd swear an earthquake begins
She started with a-itchin' and a-twakin', then got up and ran

John d loudermilk

There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the wind.
Born on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sends.

He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,
This little bird that somebody sends.

He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies.

(mentor williams)

Day after day i'm more confused
So i look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that i hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that i'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things i do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when i'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know i believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong

Roy orbison/joe melson

Well i don't get excited
Each time that we're invited
To some social event
Cos with each glance you're stealing
I get that same old feeling
I know that he will be there
You look across the table
Straight at that other guy
I see that look in your eye
And even though i know it
I try hard not to show it
Go on and make me cry
Go on, go on, go on
Go on

Though you think he's playing
Sweeter than the wine
Don't let him steal a moment
I'm running out of time

I feel our love grow colder
As you touch your shoulder
Each time that we're dancing by
I've lost your love so tender
Very well, i will surrender
Go on and hear me cry
Go on, go on, go on
Go on

This looks like the last time
These arms will hold you tight
So if you're going to love me
We only have tonight

The final scene is over
Looks like you win again
You may think that you always will
But oh, he's gonna hurt you
Oh yeah, and when he hurts you
You know that i love you still
Go on, go on, go on
Go on

Pretty woman
Walking down the street
Pretty woman
Ah, you look so neat
How did you get that way?

....oh. pretty woman

Bill dees

The sun on the rim of the view overlooking all that i love
Lights up every leaf and blade, birds circling high above
With trembling hand i reach down and say "this is my land"

This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown
To love it as much as i, for all the sons gone by
And when he's a man he'll do what he can
For this, my land, this is my land

When young men die in glory and for freedom take their stand
May they sing this same proud story, this is my land

Life fade away, and my body is laid to rest on the ground
May this comfort fill my soul more on the land, i know
That those after me say with much dignity
"this is my land, this is my land"

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

Talk about troubles, i tell you i got 'em shovellin' sand on the mississipi bottom
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I killed me a man in shelby county, they turned me in for the government bounty
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Tennessee owns my soul, that little georgia gal just wouldn't listen
She tried to run away with stoney lee i caught him and i put him six feet under
I wonder if he misses me? tennessee owns my soul

Rottin' in a cell i try to forget her, wishin' like hell i'd never ever met her
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Gotta get away, gotta see my baby, gotta leave tonight, she's drivin' me crazy
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Tennessee owns my soul, if i can get as far as lookout mountain
Highway twenty four will carry me to the girl i killed another man for
Even then i know i won't be free, tennessee owns my soul
I make it to the top of the twenty foot wall, the guard - i'm hit, and i think i'm gonna fall
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Laying on a broken back and cryin', everything's goin' black and i'm dyin'
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah tennessee owns my soul, tennessee owns my soul

Baby, my baby you accuse me of flirting and hurting you no end
You say baby i'm a cheater
You oughta know that cheaters never win
Because it takes one to know one who will hurt you
It takes one to know one who'll make you blue
It takes one to know one like i know you
You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand

Baby, my baby don't blame me for playing and saying things unkind
You think baby i'm a loser
But i could win if you were close behind me
Because it takes one to know one who will love you
It takes one to know one who will cry for you
It takes one to know one like i know you
You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand

Baby, baby we're birds of a feather, baby, baby we'll live together
Baby i'm yours you are mine
And it takes one to know one, it takes one to know one
Yes it takes one to know one every time

Sad eyes, sad eyes, across the room
Sad eyes, crying in your gloom
Sad eyes, love has been untrue

Just look at me, oh just look at me
Just look at me, i'm lonely too
I'm like you, so like you, sad eyes

Oh sad eyes
Don't you know that tears can be erased?
Oh sad eyes tears won't help
But maybe i can replace that other face

Sad eyes, sad eyes, this ain't just a line
Sad eyes, maybe we can find
Sad eyes, somewhere down the line

Happiness, oh happiness happiness together, you and i
Someday, some way, sad eyes

Chips moman/bobby emmons

Sittin' around minding my business when in walked an old friend
Such a sight for sore eyes i hadn't seen him since i don't know when
We talked about the crazy things we used to do
And talk loud around about old lovers talk out around to you

And i'd like to hold a reunion for the clas of

John d loudermilk

Kiss me and i'll never tell a soul you did
For they'd only tell us we were only kids
Take my hand and lead me over hill and dale
Love me oh my darling and i'll never tell

How it matters if you will or won't
But i would never tell if you do or don't
Darling trust me just a little, how i pray you will
Don't be basful, kiss me, and i'll never tell

How it matters if you will or won't
But i would never tell if you do or don't
Darling trust me just a little, how i pray you will
Love me oh my darling and i'll never tell

Terry widlake

You've got the loving touch that i need so much
You've got the loving touch that i need so much
No matter how i try your love i couldn't buy
Cause i need so much of your love

I've got the world at my fingers and it stands at my feet
I can fly to the moon or i can sleep in the street
There's nothing in this world i couldn't do
I get all that i want just by the wave of a hand
There's nothing on earth that won't obey my command
And now i find that all i need is you

Repeat chorus

I could give the world for you to hold and you know i could
Everything i'd touch would turn to gold and you know it would
But i need something else that's only yours for the giving
I need something else to make my life worth living

Repeat chorus 2 times

Class of 55
Early one morning it was drizzling rain round the curve came the memphis train
Heard somebody holler, and a million more, the king is dead, but lord he still ain't gone
But he still ain't gone, but he still ain't gone (my god, my god he still ain't gone)

If you wanna get to heaven, gotta d-i-e. you got to put on your coat and your t-i-e
If you wanna catch a rabbit in an l-o-g, you gotta make a commotion like a d-o-g
Like a d-o-g, like a d-o-g (oh yes, just like a d-o-g)

Good lord have mercy, what's the matter with me? what makes me wanna love every woman i see?
I'm rating one another, i'm rating again, everyone i see looks like the place i came in
Looks like the place i came in (hot dog) looks like the place i came in (the place i came in)

Lord i got my name printed on my shirt, i ain't no ordinary dude 'cos i don't have to work
I just got to town and i'm gone again, but it's a different track, but it's the same old train
It's the same old train, it's the same old train (oh god, my god it's the same old train)
