Love me tender,

And i love you so.

Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' i love you,
And i always will.

Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it's there that i belong,
And we'll never part.

Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

(when at last my dreams come true
Darling this i know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go).

(words & music by tony joe white)
Some of you all never been down south too much...
I' gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where i'm talking about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields,
And it looks something like a turnip green.
Everybody calls it polk salad. now that's polk salad.
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
She'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat,
But they did all right.

Down in louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl that i swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame

Polk salad annie
'gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
What a mean, vicious woman

Everyday before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack

Polk salad annie
'gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'cause the mama was working on the chain-gang
Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,
Lord have mercy.

Sock a little polk salad to him
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah

But daddy was a lazy and a no-count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck

For once polk salad annie
'gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang

Sock a little polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
You sock a little
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
Sock a little polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
Sock a little polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling

(words & music by claude demetruis)
Well a hard headed woman,
A soft hearted man
Been the cause of trouble
Ever since the world began.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.

Now adam told to eve,
"listen here to me,
Don't you let me catch you
Messin' round that apple tree."
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.

Now samson told delilah
Loud and clear,
"keep your cotton pickin' fingers
Out my curly hair."
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.

I heard about a king
Who was doin' swell
Till he started playing
With that evil jezebel.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man.

I got a woman,
A head like a rock.
If she ever went away
I'd cry around the clock.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.

Is it something that's inside me

Tried so hard each time, each time i just can't make it
Feelin' fast vibrations and i just can't take it
Living from day to day, chasing the dream

(words & music by wayne thompson - mark james - johnny christopher)
Maybe i didn't treat you
Quite as good as i should have
Maybe i didn't love you
Quite as often as i could have
Little things i should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe i didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And i guess i never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If i make you feel second best
Girl, i'm sorry i was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things i should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind

(words & music by hubbard)
Well, i quit my job down at the car wash,
Left my mama a goodbye note,
By sundown i'd left kingston,
With my guitar under my coat,
I hitchhiked all the way down to memphis,
Got a room at the ymca,
For the next three weeks i went huntin' them nights,
Just lookin' for a place to play,
Well, i thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire,
But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man.

Well, i nearly 'bout starved to death down in memphis,
I run outta money and luck,
So i bought me a ride down to macon, georgia,
On a overloaded poultry truck,
I thumbed on down to panama city,
Started pickin' out some o' them all night bars,
Hopin' i could make myself a dollar,
Makin' music on my guitar,
I got the same old story at them all night piers,
There ain't no room around here for a guitar man
We don't need a guitar man, son

So i slept in the hobo jungles,
Roamed a thousand miles of track,
Till i found myself in mobile alabama,
At a club they call big jack's,
A little four-piece band was jammin',
So i took my guitar and i sat in,
I showed 'em what a band would sound like,
With a swingin' little guitar man.
Show 'em, son

If you ever take a trip down to the ocean,
Find yourself down around mobile,
Make it on out to a club called jack's,
If you got a little time to kill,
Just follow that crowd of people,
You'll wind up out on his dance floor,
Diggin' the finest little five-piece group,
Up and down the gulf of mexico,
Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band,
Well, wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin' little guitar man.

The tv-special verse:

Well, i came a long way from the carwash,
Got to where i said i'd get
Now that i'm here i know for sure
I really ain't got there yet
Think i'll start all over
Swing my guitar over my back
I'm gonna get myself back on the track
I'll never, never ever look back
I'll never be more than what i am
Wouldn't you know
I' m a swinging little guitar man

(words & music by t. dilbeck)
I said i'd hold, i said i'd hold,
I said i'd hold you in my heart 'till i can hold you in my arms
Like you've never been held before
Well i'll think of you each day and then i'll dream the night away
Oh, 'till you are in my arms once more

The stars up in the sky, you know they know the reason why
I feel so blue 'cause i'm away from you
Yeah i'll hold you in my heart 'till i can hold you in my arms
Oh darling please wait for me

You know the stars up in the sky, you know they know the reason why
I feel so blue 'cause i'm away, i'm away from you
Yeah i'll hold you in my heart 'till i can hold you in my arms
Oh darling please wait for me

The stars up in the sky you know they know the reason why...
I feel so blue 'cause i'm away, i'm away, i'm away, i'm away from you
I said, i said i'd hold you in my heart, heart, heart 'till i can hold you in my arms
Oh darling please wait for me

The stars up in the sky, you know they know the reason why
I, i feel so blue 'cause i'm away, i'm away from you

(words & music jerry leiber - mike stoller)
Treat me like a fool,
Treat me mean and cruel,
But love me.

Wring my faithful heart,
Tear it all apart,
But love me.

If you ever go,
Darling, i'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,
Darling, i'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

Darling, i'll be oh so lonely
Beggin' on knees,
All i ask is please, please love me
Oh yeah

Well you may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time

Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down

Stop god almighty let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dews
Coming down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from galilee
My god spoke and he spoke so sweet
I thought i heard the shuffle of angel's feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great god almighty let me tell you what he said

Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down

Working in the dark against your fellow man
As sure as god made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, slip and slide
Trying to take the mote from your neighbour's eyes
As sure as god made the rich and poor
You gonna reap just what you sow

Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well

Some people go to church just to sit in the fire
Trying to make a date with the neighbour's wife
Brother let me tell you as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman alone
Because one of these days mark my word
You think that brother is going to work
And you'll sneak up and knock on that door
That's all brother you'll knock no more

Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well

(words & music by d. bartholomew - p. king)
One night with you
Is what i'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

Just call my name
And i'll be right by your side
I want your sweet helping hand
My loves too strong to hide

Always lived, very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now i know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long

One night with you
Is what i'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

Always lived, very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now i know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long

One night with you
Is what i'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

(words & music by wickham - napier - bell - donaggio - pallavicini)
When i said, i needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed, but you
And know you've gone away

Don't you know that now you're gone
And i'm left her on my own
Then i have to follow you
And beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I can't help i love you
But believe me, i'll never tie you down

Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel

(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller)
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.

(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller)
You don't like crazy music.
You don't like rockin' bands.
You just wanna go to a movie show,
And sit there holdin' hands.
You're so square.
Baby, i don't care.

You don't like hotrod racin'
Or drivin' late at night.
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark.
You just wanna hold me tight.
You're so square.
Baby, i don't care.

You don't know any dance steps that are new,
But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do.

I don't know why my heart flips.
I only know it does.
I wonder why i love you, baby.
I guess it's just because
You're so square.
Baby, i don't care.

(words & music by doc pomus - mort shuman)
Well, i dated your big sister
And took her to a show
I went for some candy
Along came jim dandy
And they snuck right out of the door

Ev'ry time i see your sister
Well she's got somebody new
She's mean and she's evil
Like that old boll weevil
Guess i'll try my luck with you

Well, i used to pull your pigtails
And pinch your turned-up nose
But you been a growin'
And baby, it's been showin'
From your head down to your toes

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
Then say it's very nice
And then you run

Little sister, don't you
Do what your big sister done

(words & music by don robertson)
I memorize the note you sent
Go all the places that we went
I seem to search the whole day through
For anything that's part of you

I kept a ribbon from your hair
A breath of perfume lingers there
It helps to cheer me when i'm blue
Anything that's part of you

Oh, how it hurts to miss you so
When i know you don't love me anymore
To go on needing you
Knowing you don't need me

No reason left for me to live
What can i take, what can i give
When i'd give all of someone new
For anything that's part of you

(words & music by roy turk and lou handman)
Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When i kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall i come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, i loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why i'll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And i had no cause to doubt you.
But i'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and i'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.

Is your heart filled with pain, shall i come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

(words & music by west - presley)
The way she held your hand,
The little things you planned
Her memory is with you yet
That's someone you never forget

When she is far away
You'll think of her each day
And you know she'll wait for you
That's someone you never forget

Others may pass your way
And let you think their love is true
But you know that they'll never replace
The one that waits for you

(words & music by trader)
(now and then there's a fool such as i)
Pardon me, if i'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should i cry
When you're gone, yet i'll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as i

Now and then there's a fool such as i am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but i'll love you dear
Until the day i die
Now and then there's a fool such as i

Now and then there's a fool such as i am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but i'll love you dear
Until the day i die
Now and then there's a fool such as i
Now and then there's a fool such as i
Now and then there's a fool such as i

(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But i got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But i got wise

You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

I thought that i was in heaven
But i was sure surprised
Heaven help me, i didn't see
The devil in your eyes

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel

But i got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

(words & music by aaron schroeder and sid wyche)
Hey baby, i ain't askin' much of you
No no no no no no no no baby, i ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do

Don't be a stingy little mama
You're 'bout to starve me half to death
Well you can spare a kiss or two and
Still have plenty left, no no no
Baby, i ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do

You're just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
Well i ain't greedy baby
All i want is all you got, no no no
Baby, i ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do

I got wishbone in my pocket
I got a rabbit's foot 'round my wrist
You know i'd have all the things these lucky charms could bring
If you'd give me just one sweet kiss, no no no no no no no
Baby, i ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do

(words & music by bert caroll - russell moody)
Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world i'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck

Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world i'm yours, by heck
Let them know i love you so
And let them no by the ring around your neck

They say that goin' steady is not the proper thing
They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring
I only know that i love you and that you love me too
So, darling, please do what i ask of you

Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world i'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck

Let them know i love you so
And let them know by the ring around your neck

(words & music by otis blackwell - elvis presley)
A well i bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say i'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

Please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but i'm feelin' fine
When i'm near that girl that i love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!

She touched my hand what a chill i got
Her lips are like a vulcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

My tongue get tied when i try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the girl that i love so fine!

(words & music by chuck berry)
Long distance information give me memphis, tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number but i know who placed the call
My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me information to get in touch with my marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from memphis, tennessee
Her home is on the southside, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the mississippi bridge

Help me information more than that i cannot add
Only that i miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in memphis, tennessee

The last time i saw marie she was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in memphis, tennessee

(words & music by scott davis)
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

(words & music by c. singleton - r.m. mccoy)
I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you.

Ever since i read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

When i read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us,
But they didn't mean a thing.

I just had to reach you, baby,
In spite of all that i've been through.
I kept traveling night and day,
I kept running all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.

Well if i had to do it over
That's exactly what i'd do,
I would travel night and day,
And i'd still run all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.

Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true

Lord above me knows i love you
It was he who brought me through,
When my way was dark as night,
He would shine his brightest light,
When i was trying to get to you.

(words & music by thomas)
Whether you're riding down a highway
Or walkin' down a street
It makes no difference baby
I'm gonna love you just as mean
'cause holdin' your little hand
Makes me feel so very nice
Anyplace is paradise
When i'm with you

Whether we're standin' on a doorstep
Or sittin' at a park
Or strollin' down shady lane
Or dancin' in the dark
Well i can take you in my arms
And look into your pretty eyes
Anyplace is paradise
When i'm with you

Give me a cave up in the mountain
Or a shack down by the sea
And i will be in heaven honey
If you are there with me
Well kiss your pretty lips
See the love-light in your eyes
Anyplace is paradise
When i'm with you

Baby i'd live deep in the jungle
And sleep up in a tree
And let the rest of the world go be
If you were there with me
Well i could love you all the time
Baby, a jungle would be fine
Anyplace is paradise
When i'm with you

(words & music by jesse stone)
You gave me love to enjoy
Like a bright shiny toy to a baby
No matter what you would do
I depended on you like a baby

One thing i know i love you
Yes i loved you like a baby
It was a fool that you took
And i think 'cause you look like a baby

To lover's ways i was blind
'cause i just had a mind like a baby
You're just a flirt
And i had to be her guide like a baby

I need you so, i need you so
The day i found i am alive
Then i broke down and cried like a baby
Well it was then i could see
You were playing with me like a baby
Well you can bet that some day
I'll forget just like a baby

(words & music by mae b. axton - tommy durden - elvis presley)
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely i could die.

And although it's always crowded,
You still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
Do cry away their gloom.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely i could die.

Well, the bell hop's tears keep flowin',
And the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely i could die.

Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
And you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel.

(words & music by e. miller - j. lantz)
But now after loving you, what else is there to do
For honey, all the rest is just gonna have to be second best
I know i'll go through life comparing her to you
That's 'cause i'm no good, i'm no good to anyone after loving you

Your precious love cannot be erased by just another woman with a pretty face
And your memory, you know it will remain for it cannot be erased
Other loves may come along, they can't live up to you
That's 'cause i'm no good, i'm no good to anyone after loving you

Your precious love cannot be erased by just another woman with a pretty face
And your memory, you know it will remain for it cannot be erased
Other loves may come along, they can't live up to you
That's 'cause i'm no good, i'm no good to anyone after loving you

I said i'm no good, i'm no good to anyone after loving you
I said i'm no good, i'm no good, i'm no good to anyone
To anyone, to anyone, to anyone after loving you
That's 'cause i'm no good, i'm no good to anyone after loving you

(words & music by doc pomus and mort shuman)
I just got your letter baby
Too bad you can't come home
I swear i'm goin' crazy
Sittin' here all alone
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

I ain't slept a wink since sunday
I can't eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue monday
Since you've been away
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

I gotta get myself together
Before i lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

I gotta get myself together
Before i lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

Since you're gone i got a mess of blues
Since you're gone i got a mess of blues

(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller)
When i walk through that door
Baby be polite
You're gonna make me sore
If you don't greet me right
Don't you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice
Treat me nice

I know that you've been told
It's not fair to tease
So if you come on cold
I'm really gonna freeze
If you don't want me to be cold as ice
Treat me nice

Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair

You know i'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice

Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair

You know i'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice

If you really want my love then treat me nice

(words & music by aaron schroeder - j. leslie mcfarland)
You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake- sugar,
But you'll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue,
Stick because i'm
Stuck on you

Gonna run my fingers thru your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh,
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because i'm
Stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'cause once i catch ya and the kissin' starts
A team o' wild horses couldn't tear us apart

Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh,uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because i'm
Stuck on you

(words & music by lincoln chase)
It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
The moon was bright oh how so bright
It was it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Oo-oo when she kissed me
I had to fall in love

Oh it was a kiss oo-oo what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Oh how she could kiss oh what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips
Sets me afire
I reminisce and i'm filled with desire
But i'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well i remember, i'll always remember

Oh, what a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But i'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
Oo-oo such a kiss, such a night

It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But i'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
How well i remember, i'll always remember

That night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed i had to fall in love
But i'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well i remember, i'll always remember

Oh that night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed i had to fall in love
Well she's gone, gone, gone
Yes she's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn
And my love was gone
But before that dawn
Yes before that dawn and before that dawn
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo
Such a night

(words & music by lowell fulsom)
Well so long
Oh how i hate to see you go
Yes so long
Oh how i hate to see you go
Well the way that i will miss you
I guess you'll never know

We've been together so long
To have to separate this way
We've been together so long
To have to separate this way
Well i'm gonna let you go ahead on baby
But let you come back home some day

Play the blues boys, play the blues
One more time

You said you once had loved me
But now i guess you've changed your mind
You said you once had loved me
But now i guess you've changed your mind
Why don't you reconsider baby
Give yourself just a little more time

(words & music by byers - daniels)
It hurts me to see him treat you the way he does
It hurts me to see sit and cry
When i know i could be so true
If i had someone like you
It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes

The whole town is talking, they're callin' you a fool
For listening to his same old lies
And when i know i could be so true
If i had someone like you
It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry

You love him too much, you're too blind to see
He's only playing a game
But he's never loved you
He never will
And darling, don't you know he will never change

Oh, i know he never will set you free
Because he's just that kind of guy
But if you ever tell him you're through
I'll be waiting for you
Waiting to hold you so tight
Waiting to kiss you goodnight
Yes, darling, if i had someone like you

(words & music by arthur crudup)
Yes my baby left me,
Never said a word.
Was it something i done,
Something that she heard?

My baby left me,
My baby left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word.

Now i stand at my window,
Wring my hands and cry.
I hate to lose that woman,
Hate to say goodbye.

You know she left me,
Yes, she left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word.

Baby, one of these mornings,
Lord, it won't be long,
You'll look for me and,
Baby, and daddy he'll be gone.

You know you left me,
You know you left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word.

Now, i stand at my window,
Wring my hands and moan.
All i know is that
The one i love is gone.

My baby left me,
You know she left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word.
