Collectors Gold

(words & music by robertson - blair)
I told you that some day
If you kept on being untrue
Somebody else would come along
And release me from you

You'll be glad to know now
Your fickle heart
Can have its own way
For it finally happened
I've met her today

I used to think i just couldn't live
A day without you
In spite of the thousand doubts and tears
That you put me through
All at once i don't care as much for you
I'm sorry to say
For now there's another
I met her today

How i treasured each smile, each kiss
You gave to me now and then
Well, you needn't be kind to me now
Oh no, not ever again

Just when the last bit of pride in me was gone
Someone heard me pray
And sent me my angel
I met her today
I met her today

(words & music by bill strange - scott davis)
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine

Quiet thought come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories,
Sweet memories

Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine,
Memories, memories, sweet memories

(words & music by byers)
This proud wild land where the wind blows free
Has always been a part of me
It's in my blood, i just can't get it out
For a hundred miles a man can see
And be about as wild as he wants to be
If he feels like shouting all he's gotta do is shout

Where the purple mountains reach up high
And look like they're gonna touch the sky
Where the canyon walls have stood for a million years
Where the days are hot, the nights are cold
The desert sand looks just like gold
These trails were carved in sweat and blood and tears

Where the painted desert as you pass by
Looks like a rainbow in the sky
The cactus blooms in the early morning sun
Where the nightwings sing and eagles fly
The clouds paint pictures in the sky
The coyotes howl tells you when the day is done

I'm coming home, this time i'm gonna stay
I'm coming home and i ain't never goin' away
My feet are itching to get back home
I've had the desert fever since i've been gone
I need some loving so bad that i can't see
When a woman looks a man in the eye
You know it takes a man to satisfy
Thinking about them girls is killing me

I'm going home, going home
Going home, i'm going home
Going home, going home
Going home

(words & music by joy byers)
When i was a little bitty boy
Sittin' on my papa's knee
I still remember every word my papa said to me
Now boy if you ever meet
A pretty woman walking down the street

You'd better
Stop real still, look both ways
Listen or you'll get in trouble

When you see her go struttin' by
Giving you that evil eye
And she's got a kind of dreamy look
Just enough to get you shook
Now boy don't you lose your head
You pay attention what your papa said

You'd better
Stop real still, look both ways
Listen or you'll get in trouble

All right !

She'll drive you crazy with the way she walks
She'll drive you crazy with the way she talks
And you'll think you're gonna lose your mind
'cause that pretty woman looks so fine
And the very first thing you'll know
You'll be tellin' her you love her so

You'd better stop real still

(words & music by franklyn tableporter)
I am yours and you are mine, come what may
Love like ours remains divine, come what may
Even though we're miles apart
You're living in my lonely heart
At night the teardrops start and pour the long long day

I keep your picture near me since you went away
I plant a kiss upon your lips each night and day
Bear in mind and you will find a heart that is true
And i'll be here with you come what may

All right!

I keep your picture near me since you went away
I plant a kiss upon your lips each night and day
Bear in mind and you will find a heart that is true
And i'll be here with you come what may
And i'll be here with you come what may
And i'll be here with you come what may
Ah um bop a bop a um bop a bop a come what may

(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 weisman - wayne)
How can you lose what you never had
I tell myself when i'm feeling sad

You don't have the right to cry
You believed your own lie
It's your fault because
You thought that she was yours
Think it over once, think it over twice
I wish i could take my own advice
I know i should be glad, why does it hurt so bad
How can you lose what you never had

You don't have the right to cry
You believed your own lie
It's your fault because
You thought that she was yours
Think it over once, think it over twice
I wish i could take my own advice
I know i should be glad, why does it hurt so bad
How can you lose what you never had
How can you lose what you never had

(words & music by sid tepper - roy bennett)
They give us a room
With a view of the beautiful rhine
They give us a room
With a view of the beautiful rhine
Gimme a muddy old creek
In texas any old time

I've got those hup, two, three, four
Occupation g.i. blues
From my g.i. hair to the heels of my g.i. shoes
And if i don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse

We get hasenpfeffer
And black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
And black pumpernickel for chow
I'd blow my next month's pay
For a slice of texas cow

We'd like to be heroes,
But all we do here is march
We'd like to be heroes,
But all we do here is march
And they don't give the purple heart
For a fallen arch

I've got those hup, two, three, four
Occupation g.i. blues
From my g.i. hair to the heels of my g.i. shoes
And if i don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse

The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
Cause they're all wearin' signs saying:
"keepen sie off the grass"

I've got those hup, two, three, four
Occupation g.i. blues
From my g.i. hair to the heels of my g.i. shoes
And if i don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse

(words & music by modugno - giant - baum - kaye)
Ask me if i wanted to caress you
And i'd confess
Ask me if i'm longing to possess you
I'll answer yes

Now that we're together
I could hold you close forever
And i swear that i would never let you go

There's no question that i care more than you
Love me darling, just be mine completely
And there's nothing i won't do if you
Just ask me

(words & music by joy byers)
So close, yet so far from paradise
I hold, you in my arms, in paradise
Is mine, then you slip away
Like a child at play, and here am i
So close, yet so far from paradise

When you, are close to me, it's paradise
We kiss, oh my love, paradise
Is mine, then suddenly you're gone from me
Like a floating star, i see, and here am i
So close, yet so far from paradise

I reach out for you, but each time i do
I always find you gone
I know love is new, i'll take care of you
In my arms is where you belong

Just, a step away, are we from paradise
Take my hand, come away, to paradise
My love, i want you close to me
I need you desperately, oh here am i
Waiting for you
Here am i
Praying for you
Here am i, so close, yet so far from paradise

(words & music by bartholomew - king)
Don't do that, please stop it
Please stop it now
You know i can't take it
Please stop it now

My head is spinning a spell on me now
My head is spinning around and around
My head is spinning around and around
Your witchcraft has got me
Keep going down and down

Let me forget her, don't mention her name
You know it brings back that old burning flame
It hurts to know that she doesn't feel the same

I can't go on since she left me alone
My one desire now is to cry, now to cry
She might come back one day by and by and by

(words & music by carl perkins)
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.

(words & music by otis blackwell - winfield scott)
Who wants to buy a heart
One broken lover's heart
One broken heart for sale

Well, excuse me if you see me crying like a baby
Since she rejected me
There's nothing left to save me

Hey cupid, where are you?
My heart is growing sadder
That girl rejected me
Just when i thought i had her

She would not listen to the things my heart was saying
She turned and walked away
And told me i was playing

Some guys have all the luck
And my heart hasn't any
I think i'll paint a sign
For sale for a penny

(words & music by otis blackwell - elvis presley)
You know i can be found,
Sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
At least please telephone.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Baby, if i made you mad
For something i might have said,
Please, let's forget the past,
The future looks bright ahead,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

Don't stop thinking of me,
Don't make me feel this way,
Come on over here and love me,
You know what i want you to say.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart.

Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us say i do,
Then you'll know you'll have me,
And i'll know that i'll have you,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

(words & music by h. parker - s. philips)
Train i ride, sixteen coaches long
Train i ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train got my baby and gone

Train train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Train train, comin' 'round the bend
Well it took my baby, but it never will again (no, not again)

Train train, comin' down, down the line
Train train, comin' down the line
Well it's bringin' my baby, 'cause she's mine all, all mine
(she's mine, all, all mine)

(words & music by pomus - meade)
Girl happy, yes i'm girl happy,
Girl happy, can't you see

Every girl i see looks good to me
What crazy way i were to be
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well i'm girl happy, yes i'm girl happy,
Girl happy, can't you see

Every time i see a pretty face
My heart just heads for outer space
I need a girl to make my life worth of living
Yes, i'm girl happy, yes i'm girl happy,
Girl happy, can't you see

I've been like this since i was just a baby boy
First nurse that rocked my cradle made me jump to joy
Mama keep your daughter out of sight
I'm in a lovin' mood tonight
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well i'm girl happy, yes i'm girl happy,
Girl happy, can't you see

I've been like this since i was just a baby boy
First nurse that rocked my cradle made me jump to joy
Girl happy, well i'm girl happy,
Yes i'm girl happy, can't you see
Girl happy, said i'm girl happy,
Yes i'm girl happy, can't you see

(words & music by tepper - bennett)
Am i ready, can my heart be true?
Am i ready, to fall in love with you

One love, one girl,one dream shared by two
Am i ready, to fall in love with you

I have touched your lips,and now i know
I would be a fool, to let you go

Should i, could i, how i wish i knew
Am i ready, to fall in love with you

Should i, could i, how i wish i knew
Am i ready, to fall in love with you

Fall in love...with..you...

(words & music by eddie rabbitt)
Baby don't fall in love with me
I'll only bring you grief
Baby, don't set your heart on me
I'll only have to leave

'cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning i'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind

Daddy, he was a traveling man
I hardly knew his face
Momma, she cried for him at night
He never stayed in one place

'cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning i'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind

Oh i can't give you the love you need
I just won't be here that long
But if you still want me here tonight
I'll love you till the break of dawn

'cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning i'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind
Inherit the wind, inherit the wind

(words & music by benjamin - marcus)
It's a lonely man
Who wanders all around
It's a lonely man
Who roams from town to town
Searchin', always searchin'
For something he can't find
Hopin', always hopin'
That some day fate will be kind

It's a lonely man
Who travels all alone
When he has no one
That he can call his own

Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here i am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here i am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Here i am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man

(words & music by wise - blagman)
Give me the right
To hold you tonight
The tears that i've cried over you
Give me the right

You can't say no
When i need you so
I want you back in my arms
Give me the right

If you looked deep in your heart
Like i looked into mine
You'll find that nothing has changed
Our love was there all the time

Why make me plead
For something you need
I want to bring back the thrill
Give me the right
Give me the right

(words & music by harris)
When i was little, my mama said to me
"one day you'll find a love to last eternally"
I want you with me everywhere i go
So please don't leave me baby, i love you so

I'll be the ruler of this whole wide world
If you will only say you'll be my girl
I want you with me in everything i do
You know i need you baby, i'm in love with you

There is no mountain that i can't climb
You find the mountain, child, and i'll find the time
I want you with me, with me night and day
Well, you can make me happy baby, don't you go away

I'll swim an ocean with a raging foam
If i know that you'll be there when i come back home
I want you with me, you know i love you so
Well, i want you with me baby, i'll never let you go
Well, i want you with me baby, i'll never let you go

(words & music by wise - weisman)
I look at you and wham, i'm head over heels
I guess that love is a banana peel
I feel so bad and yet i'm feeling so well
I slipped, i stumbled, i fell

One crazy kiss and bam, i head for the skies
I guess that love is like a cake of ice
You skate along but then you can never tell
I slipped, i stumbled, i fell

I never thought i'd get tricked
By you sweet talking lies
You've got a bag of tricks
And when you get busy
I got dazzled and dizzy
I fell like a ton of bricks

My knees are weak, my head is spinning around
I guess that love has turned me upside down
Thought i'd get hurt, but gee, it's turning out well
I slipped, i stumbled, i fell

(words & music by don robertson)
When the evening shadows fall,
And you're wond'ring who to call
For a little company
There's always me

Or if your great romance should end,
And you're lonesome for a friend
Darling, you need never be
There's always me

I don't seem to mind somehow
Playing second fiddle now
Someday you'll want me, dear,
And when that day is here,
Within my arms you'll come to know
Other loves may come and go
But my love for you will be eternally
Look around and you will see
There's always me.

(words & music by jones - warren)
