Elvis Platinum-a Life In Music

(words & music by wayne - silver - lilly, based on "g'schichten aus dem wienerwold" by johann strauss)
Hold me tight
The moon's so bright
Tonight is so right for love

Now's the time to say
You're the only one
Tonight is so right for love

One by one the stars appear
They twinkle in your eyes
Who'd believe that we'd be here
So near to paradise

This could be the kiss
To unlock heaven's door
That magic hour of bliss
That we both waited for
I love more and more

Oh' we could fly right up to the sky
The things we've been dreaming of
And how real they would seem
A midsummernight's dream
Can't you see that tonight's so right for love

And how real they would seem
A midsummernight's dream
Can't you see that tonight's so right for love

Hold me tight
The moon's so bright
Tonight is so right for love

(words & music by hank williams)
Today i passed you on the street
And my heart was at your feet
I can't help it if i'm still in love with you

Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if i'm still in love with you

A memory from the past came slowly stealing
As i braced your arm and walked so close to you (yeah)
Oh heaven only knows how much i miss you
I can't help it if i'm still in love with you
I can't help it if i'm still in love with you

(words & music by stuart hine)
Oh lord my god when i in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I see the stars, i hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
When christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
To take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then i shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my god how great thou art
Then sings my soul my savior god to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul my savior god to thee
How great thou art how great thou art

(words & music by layng martine, jr)
Babe, you're getting closer
The lights are goin' dim
The sound of your breathin'
Has made the mood i'm in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I've never been before

Ooh, and i can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down

Ooh, my head is spinnin'
You got me in your spell,
A hundred magic fingers
On a whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That i just can't describe

Ooh, and i can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down

Hold me again,
Tight as you can
I need you so,
Baby, let's go

Way down where it feels so good
Way down where i hoped it would
Way down where i never could
Way down, down, way, way on down

(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller)
Don't, don't, that's what you say
Each time that i hold you this way,
When i feel like this and i want to hold you,
Baby, don't say don't.

Don't, don't leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold and i want to hold you,
Baby, don't say don't.

If you think that this is just a game
I'm playing
If you think that i don't mean
Ev'ry word i'm saying
Don't, don't, don't, don't,
Don't feel that way
I'm your love and yours i will stay

This you can believe
I will never leave you
Heave knows i won't
Baby, don't say don't

(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller)
The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

Shifty henry said to bugs, "for heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, "nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

(words & music by oscar hammerstein ii - richard rogers)
When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

(words & music by westendorf)
I'll take you home again kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my bonny bride
The roses all have left your cheek
I watch them fade away and die
Your voice is soft when ere you speak
And tears bedim your lovely eyes
Oh, i will take you home kathleen
To where your heart shall feel no pain
And when the fields are soft and green
I will take you to your home kathleen

(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 ray charles)
Well, i've got a woman
Way cross town
She's good to me oh, yeah
Say. i've got a woman
Way cross town
She's good to me oh, yeah

She's here in the morning,
Loving me
Yeah, she's a kind of friend to me

She says she love me early in the morning
Just for me
Oh, yeah you know she loves me
Oh, naturally

She's there to love me both day and night
No groans or fusses, treats me right
Never running in the street
Loving me alone
She knows a woman's place is around home at night

Well, she's my baby
And i'm her loving man

(words & music by anka - francois - revaux)
And now the end is near
So i face the final curtain
My friend, i'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which i'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, i've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what i had to do
And saw it through without exception

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, i'm sure you know
When i bit off more than i could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and i stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, i've laughed and cried
I've had my fails, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think i did all that
And may i say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not
To say the words he truly feels
And not the words he would reveal
The record shows i took the blows
And did it my way
The record shows i took the blows
And did it my way

(words & music by joe babcock)
I was born in macon georgia
They kept my daddy over in macon jail
He told me if you keep your hands clean
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail

Well i fell in with bad companions
Robbed a man, oh up in tennessee
They caught me way up in nashville
They locked me up and threw away the key

I washed my hands in muddy water
Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean
Tried to do what my daddy told me
But i must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

Well i asked the judge now when's my time up
He said son, oh you know we won't forget
If you try just to keep your hands clean
We might just make a good man of you yet

Oh i couldn't wait to get my time up
I broke out, broke out of nashville jail
I just crossed the state-line of georgia
Well i can hear those bloodhounds on my trail

I washed my hands in muddy water
Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean
Tried to do what my daddy told me
But i must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

(words & music by l. deanson)
Oh blessed mother we pray to thee
Thanks for the miracle of your rosary
Only you can hold back
Your holy son's hand
Long enough for the whole world to understand

Hail, mary full of grace
The lord is with thee
Blessed are thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, jesus
Oh holy mary dear mother of god
Please pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
And give thanks once again
For the miracle of your rosary

(words & music by aaron schroeder - wally gold)
It's now or never,
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
It's now or never
My love won't wait.

When i first saw you
With your smile so tender
My heart was captured,
My soul surrendered
I'd spend a lifetime
Waiting for the right time
Now that your near
The time is here at last.

It's now or never,
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
It's now or never
My love won't wait.

Just like a willow,
We would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
And sweet devotion
Your lips excite me,
Let your arms invite me
For who knows when
We'll meet again this way

It's now or never,
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
It's now or never
My love won't wait.

(words & music by michael jarrett)
On the hills of georgia
Across the plains of tennessee
I've seen and i've done most everything
That a man can do or see
But if i could only borrow one dream from your sleep
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'll be home on christmas day

And so many times before
She left that candle burning
Oh, too many tears fell
My soul fills with yearning
If i had sense at all
I'd just be on my way
Be on that train tomorrow
Be home on christmas day

Everytime i think about her
All the love i left behind
Memories still linger in my troubled mind
I could set aside my pride
And i'd be on my way
I'd catch that train tomorrow
And be home on christmas day

If i had any sense at all
I'd just be on my way
I'd catch that train tomorrow
I'd be home on christmas day
I said i'd catch that train tomorrow
I'd be home on christmas day

(words & music by r. rodgers - l. hart)
Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.

Blue moon,
You knew just what i was there for.
You heard me saying a pray for
Someone i really could care for.

Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.

Blue moon...
Without a love of my own.

(words & music by george weiss - hugo peretti - luigi creatore)
Wise men say only fools rush in
But i can't help falling in love with you
Shall i stay
Would it be a sin
If i can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For i can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For i can't help falling in love with you
For i can't help falling in love with you

(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 willy nelson)
Well hello there,
My it's been a long long time
How am i doin',
Oh well i guess i'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away

How's your new love,
I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you'd love him till the end of time
Well you know, that's the same thing
That you told me
Well it seems like just the other day
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away

Gotta go now,
Guess i'll see you hanging round
Don't know when though, oh
Never know when i'll be back in town
But i remember what i told you
That in time your gonna pay

Well ain't it surprisin' how time slips away
Yeah, ain't it surprisin' how time slips away

(words & music by w. phelps)
I'm beginning to forget you
That old heartache is gone
I'm beginning to sleep at night
No more crying 'till dawn
I can hear your name mentioned
And it brings no misery
I'm beginnin to forget you
Like you forgot me

I'm beginning to smile again
After crying for so long
I can hear the tune we loved so well
And it's just another song
I'm so happy that it's over
I'm so thankful to be free
I'm beginnin to forget you
Like you forgot me

(words & music by arthur gunter)
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby baby.
Baby, baby baby, b-b-b-b-b-b baby baby, baby.
Baby baby baby
Come back, baby, i wanna play house with you.

Than to be with another man.
Now baby,
Come back, baby, come.
Come back, baby, come.
Come back, baby, i wanna play house with you.

Oh, baby baby baby.
Baby baby baby b-b-b-b-b-b baby baby baby.
Baby baby baby.
Come back, baby, i wanna play house with you.

(words & music by bob dylan)
How many roads must a man walk down,
Before you call him a man?
Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail,
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes and how many times must cannonballs fly,
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many times must a man look up,
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have,
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist,
Before it's washed to the seas (sea)
How many years can some people exist,
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head,
Pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

(words & music by sid wayne - bix reichner)
Oh, oh, i love you so
Uh, uh, can't let you go
Ooh, ooh, don't tell me no
I need your love tonight

Oh, gee, the way you kiss
Sweedee, too good to miss
Wow-whee, want more of this
I need your love tonight

I've been waiting just for tonight
To do some lovin' and hold you tight
Don't tell me baby you gotta go
I got the hifi high and the lights down low

Hey, now, hear what i say
Oh, wow, you better stay
Pow, pow, don't run away
I need your love tonight

(words & music by chuck berry)
Deep down in louisiana close to new orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named johnny b. good
Who never learned to read or write at all
But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell

Go, go, go johnny go, go, go johnny, go go
Go johnny go, go, go johnny go go
Johnny b. good

His mama told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear your playing music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday you will be in lights saying johnny b. good"

(words & music by fred wise - ben weisman)
Fame and fortune
How empty they can be
But when i hold you in my arms
That's heaven to me
Who cares for fame and fortune
They're only passing things
But the touch of your lips on mine
Makes me feel like a king

Your kind of love
Is a treasure i hold
It's so much greater
Than silver or gold
I know that i have nothing
If you should go away
But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way

(words & music by jerry chesnut)
I play an old piano from nine till a half past one
Tryin' to make a livin' watchin' everybody have fun
Well, i don't miss much that ever happens on a dance hall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door

Well, hello t-r-0-u-b-l-e
What in the world you're doin' a-l-o-n-e?
Say, good l-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell t-r-o-u-b-l-e

I was a little bitty baby when my papa hit the skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
Told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite
And did the best she could to try to raise me right

But mama never told me 'bout nothing like y-o-u
Say, your mama must have been another something or the other too
Say, hello good l-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell t-r-o-u-b-l-e

Well, you talk about a woman i've seen a lot of others
But too much something' and not enough another
You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
Lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream

Mother nature's sure been good to y-o-u
Well, your mama must have been another good lookin' too
Say, hey, good l-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell t-r-o-u-b-l-e

Well, you talk about a trouble-makin' hunka pokey bait,
The men are gonna love and all the women gonna hate
Reminding them of everything they never gonna be
Maybe the beginning of the world war iii
Oh, the world ain't ready for nothin' like a y-o-u
Well, i bet your mama must have been another something or the other too

Say hey good l-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell t-r-o-u-b-l-e

(words & music by brown)
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If i can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If i can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still i am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while i can think, while i can talk
While i can stand, while i can walk
While i can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

(words & music by tepper - bennett)
You'll never know
What heaven means
Until you've been down to new orleans
You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo
With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou

You've never seen
You've never seen those cupid doll queens
Like they got 'em in new orleans
And, ooh, they love you like no-one can
It makes you awful glad that you were born a man.

If-if-if you ain't been there
Then you ain't been nowhere
The livin's lazy and the lovin's fine
If you feel low down
So help me hannah
You should lose the blues in loui-si-i-si-ana.

Get the lead
Get the lead out of your jeans
And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where?
New orleans
Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile
Live it up, love it up, southern style
Way down in new new orleans.

i gave a letter to the postman,
He put it his sack.
Bright in early next morning,
He brought my letter back.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write i'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.

So then i dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special d.
Bright in early next morning
It came right back to me.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such so.

This time i'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
Then i'll understand - the writing on it

Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.

(words & music by mann-low)
Baby let me be,
Your lovin' teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck,
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.

I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'cause lions ain't the kind
You love enough.
Just wanna be, your teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.

Baby let me be, around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair,
And cuddle me real tight

(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller)
I said, 'take it easy, baby
I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tails
Flyin' all over the place
And the sweat poppin' out of my head'
She said, 'hey, bossa nova, baby
Keep on a workin' child
This ain't no time to quit'
She said, 'go, bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin'
I'm about to have myself a fit'
Bossa nova, bossa nova

I said, 'hey little mama,
Let's sit down
Have a drink and dig the band'
She said, 'drink, drink, drink
Oh, fiddle-de-dink
I can dance with a drink in my hand'
She said 'hey bossa nova, baby
Keep on workin' child
This ain't no time to drink'
She said 'go, bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin'
'cause i ain't got time to think'

I said, 'come on, baby
It's hot in here
And it's oh so cool outside
If you lend me a dollar
I can buy some gas
And we can go for a little ride'
She said, 'hey bossa nova, baby
Keep on workin' child
I ain't got time for that'
She said, 'go bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin'
Or i'll find myself another cat'

(words & music by fred wise - ben weisman)
Step in these arms, where you belong
It feels so right, so right
How can it be wrong?

There's something in the way you kiss
That makes me want to hold you tight
I know that nothing can't be wrong
That feels so right.

Each time we touch, you thrill me so
It means so much, so much
I can't let you go

This isn't only for tonight
We're gonna love our whole life long
'cause baby, if it feels so right
How can it be wrong?

(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 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 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 rich)
Well it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
It's so lonely just sitting
And dreaming of
That girl thousand miles away

Yes, it's still lonely having
Just her picture here with me
And i know i just can't stand it anymore
I'm gonna leave right now
And go back where i ought to be
Goin' home to the girl that i adore

Well it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
It's so lonely just sitting
And dreaming of
That girl thousand miles away

Well, every time i hear
Her sweet voice on the telephone
Then i know i just can't stand it another day
I'm gonna call right back
And tell her that i'm coming home and stay
Call her back and say i'm comin' home and stay
Call her back and say i'm comin' home and stay

(words & music by ray charles)
Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong

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 evans - byron)
Something old, the time goes buy
Something new, these tears i cry
Something borrowed were those lips my lips knew
And that's why i'm something blue

Something old, the vows we made
Something new, the price i paid
Something borrowed, love was tried but not true
Now my life is something blue

I guess that i had better smile
Walking behind you down the aisle
I feel i'm walking to my doom
I'm really not the best man in this room

Something old, the dreams we planned
Something new, his wedding band
Something borrowed was the heart i gave you
You returned it torn in two

Something old, the dreams we planned
Something new, his wedding band
Something borrowed was the heart i gave you
You returned it torn in two

And that's why,
And that's why i'm something blue

(words & music by kris kristofferson)
Don't look so sad, i know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need o watch the bridges that we're burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops fallin' soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time

For the good times
I'll get along, you'll find another
And i'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops fallin' soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time

For the good times
For the good times

(words & music by chuck willis)
Feel so bad
Like a ball game on a rainy day
Feel so bad
Like a ball game on a rainy day
Yes' i got my rain check
Shake my head and walk away

Oooo-people that's the way i feel
Oooo-people that's the way i feel
Sometimes i think i want
Then again i think i don't
Sometimes i want to stay here
Then again i want to leave here
Then again i want to stay
Yes, i got my train fare
Pack my grip and ride away

Oooo-people that's the way i feel
Oooo-people that's the way i feel
Sometimes i think i want
Then again i think i don't

(words & music by wheeler - chesnut)

Maybe it's too late. sometimes i even hate myself for loving you
Trying to be strong then nighttime comes along and i start loving you
Wanting you. where is all my selfcontrol i'm burning way down in my soul
And needing you, and wishing i could be the man, i try to
Hating me for wanting you to be with you knowing you don't love me like you used to
But it's midnight, ohh and i miss you

It's getting late and i know that's when i am weak
Funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the day light
I ought to go to bed to try and straighten out my head and just forget you
Oh but it's midnight yes and i miss you

It's getting late and i know that's when i am weak
Funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the day light
I ought to go to bed to try and straighten out my head and just forget you
Oh but it's midnight yes and i miss you

It's midnight and i miss you

Lord almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, i'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But i feel fine

Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love

It's coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please won't you help me
I feel like i'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving

Lord almighty,
I'm burning a hole where i lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

(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 robey - washington)

'cause it's saturday nite and i just got paid
Fool about my money don't try to save
My heart says go, go
Have a time 'cause it's saturday nite
And i'm feelin' fine

I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna shake it up
I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And ball tonite

I got a date and i won't be late
Pick her up in my '88'
Shag it on down to the union hall
When the music starts jumpin'
I'll have a ball

Along about 10 i'll be flying high
Rocking on out into the sky
I don't care if i spend my gold
'cause tonite i'm gonna be one happy soul

(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 calhoun)
Well get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Well get in that kitchen
Make some noise with the pots and pans
I believe it to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose
I believe it to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose
For the harder i work the faster my money goes

Well i said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul

Shake rattle and roll

I'm like the one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I'm like the one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
Well i can look at you tell you ain't no child no more
I believe you're doing me wrong and now i know
I believe you're doing me wrong and now i know
'cause the harder i work the faster my money goes

Well i said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul

Play it again!

I went over the hill, way down underneath
I went over the hill, way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes
And then you make me grit my teeth

Well i said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul
