Elvis Platinum-a Life In Music

(words & music by warren - kent)
Take good care of her, take good care of her
I suppose i ought to say congratulations
For you won the only girl i ever loved
But i hurt too much to face the situation
Just take good care of her, take good care of her

Just to be around her was my greatest pleasure
She was everything my future held in store
So remember when you take my only treasure
Just take good care of her, take good care of her

I must accept it, she loves you more than me
So with my broken heart i'll bow out gracefully
Please don't send me any wedding invitation
For i couldn't bear to see her there with you
If she's happy, that will be my consolation
Just take good care of her, take good care of her

Take good care of her, take good care of her

(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 vera matson - elvis presley)
Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And i love you so.

Love me tender,
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 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 j.crane - a. jacobs)
I'm so hurt to think that you lied to me
I'm hurt way down deep inside of me
You said our love was true
And we'll never, never part
Now you've got someone new
And it breaks my heart

I'm hurt, much more than you'll ever know
Yes darling, i'm so hurt
Because i still love you so
Even though you hurt me
Like nobody else could ever do
I would never hurt, hurt you

Bwell i'm tired and so weary
But i must go on
Til the lord comes and calls me
Away

Where the morning is bright
And the lamb is the light
And the night is as fair
As the day

There will be peace
In the valley
For me (someday)
There will be peace
In the valley
For me (oh lord i pray)
There'll be no sadness
No darkness,
No trouble
I see
There will be peace
In the valley
For me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down
By the lamb (oh yeah)
And the beast of the wild
Shall be led by the child
And i'll be changed
Changed from this creature
That i am (oh yeah)

There will be....etc (chorus again)

(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

hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where i stand from the start
I want you, i need you, i love you
With all my heart

Ev'ry time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that i'm living for
I want you, i need you, i love you
More and more

I thought i could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now i know that
I will go on loving you eternally

Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'cause i die ev'ry time we're apart
I want you, i need you, i love you
With all my heart

(words & music by don mclean)
And i love you so,
The people ask me how,
How i've lived till now
I tell them i don't know

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes i know how lonely life can be
Shadows follow me
The night won't set me free
But i don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do

The book of life is brief
Once the page is read
All but love is dead
This is my believe

(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 baker knight)
When no-one else can understand me
When everything i do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on

And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything i do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and i'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything

I'll guess i'll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

(words & music by johnson - mcfadden - brooks - presley)
Well you rock my soul
Down in the bosom of abraham
Rock, rock, rock down in the bosom of abraham
He rocks my soul down in the bosom of abraham

Well a rich man lives, he lives so well
Children, when he dies on a lonely hill
Why don't you rock my soul in the bosom of abraham

(words & music by lewis - stock - rose)
I found my thrill on blueberry hill
On blueberry hill when i found you
The moon stood still on blueberry hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be

Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on blueberry hill

(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 mosie lister)
You may ask me how i know my lord is real (my lord is real)
You may doubt the things i say and doubt the way i feel (the way i feel)
But i know he's real today he'll always be (he'll always be)
I can feel his hand in mine and that's enough for me

I will never walk alone he holds my hand (he holds my hand)
He will guide each step i take
And if i fall i know he'll understand
Till the day he tells me why he loves me so (he loves me so)
I can feel his hand in mine
That's all i need to know

I will never walk alone he holds my hand (he holds my hand)
He will guide each step i take
And if i fall i know he'll understand
Till the day he tells me why he loves me so (he loves me so)
I can feel his hand in mine
That's all i need to know

I can feel his hand in mine
That's all i need to know

(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 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 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 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 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 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 jimmy reed)
We're goin' up, we're goin' down

(words & music by frederic e. weatherly)
Oh danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses dying
'tis you, 'tis you must go and i must bye

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
And i'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh danny boy, oh danny boy i love you so

But if he come and all the roses dying
And i am dead, as dead i well may be
He'll come here and find the place where i am lying
And kneel and say an ava there for me

And i shall feel, oh soft you tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And i shall rest in peace until you come to me

(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 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 giant - baum - kaye)
The clock by the bed is ticking too loud in the quiet night
I lie in the darkness thinking i must go before it's light
Before you open up your eyes and you beg me to stay
I'll leave 'cause i can't stand to see you hurt this way
Sleep my love as i kiss you goodbye
Then i won't hear the sound of your cry

Though i knew the time was coming and our love would end somehow
I just couldn't bear to tell you exactly just when or how
I know we can't go on, that it was wrong to start
But if you wake up crying now, you know you'll break my heart
Sleep my love as i kiss you goodbye
Then i won't hear the sound of your cry

Sleep my love as i kiss you goodbye
Then i won't hear the sound of your cry

Ohhhh, sleep my love as i kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye
Then i won't hear the sound of your cry

Ohhhh, sleep my love as i kiss you

(words & music by stevenson - miller)
Oh please release me, let me go
For i just don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again

I have found a new love dear
And i will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Oh release me, my darling let me go

Please release me, let me go
For i just don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again

Let me go, oh release me, my darling
Let me go

(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 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

shackled by a heavy burden
Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of jesus touched me
And now i am no longer the same

He touched me, oh he touched me
And oh the joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now i know
He touched me and made me whole

Since i met this blessed savior
Since he cleansed and made me whole
I will never cease to praise him
I'll shout it while eternity rolls

He touched me oh he touched me
And oh the joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now i know
He touched me and made me whole

(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 j. stone)
You know, the landlord rang my front door bell.
I let it ring for a long, long spell.
I went to the window,
I peeped through the blind,
And asked him to tell me what's on his mind.
He said,

Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to get along with me.

Well, i screamed and i hollered,
I was so hard-pressed.
I called the woman that i loved the best.
I finally got my baby about half past three,
She said i'd like to know what you want with me.
I said,

Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.

Well, i said tell me baby, what's wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through
I said, tell me baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
She said,

Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get a long with me.

Well, i've learned my lesson and now i know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow.
The women may come and the women may go,
But before i say i love you so,
I want

Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.

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 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 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 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 mark james)
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word i say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend i know
Drops by to say hello
Would i still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Asking where i've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die

When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

(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

(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 ivory joe hunter)
I will be true
No matter what they may say
I will be true
Although you're far far away
Each night i pray
All day i'll say a silent prayer
That when i open my door
I'll find you there
Somehow i feel
That someday we'll meet again
Don't ask me how
It's something i can't explain
Until the day
I give up all hope of you
Assure yourself this i'll do
I will be true

Oh oh mmmmmmm
That someday we'll meet again
Don't ask me how
It's something i can't explain
Until the day
I give up all hope of you
Assure yourself this i'll do
I will be true

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 west - mainegra)
I see a change is coming to our lives
It's not the same as it used to be
And it's not too late to realise our mistake
We're just not right for each other

Love has slipped away left us only friends
We almost seem like strangers
All that's left between us are the memories we shared
Of times we thought we cared for each other

There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us

Some day when she's older, maybe she will understand
Why her mom and dad are not together
The tears that she will cry when i have to say goodbye
Will tear at my heart forever

There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us

promised land


(words & music by chuck berry)
I left my home in norfolk virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that greyhound
And rode into raleigh
And on across caroline

We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle
Halfway across alabam'
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown birmingham

Right away i brought me a through train ticket
Ridin' across mississippi clean
And i was on that midnight flyer out of birmingham
Smoking into new orleans

Somebody help me get out of louisiana
Just to help me get to houston town
There are people there who care a little about me
And they won't let the poor boy down

Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit
Put luggage in my hand
And i woke up high over alburquerque
On a jet to the promised land

Working on a t-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate

Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone

Los angeles give me norfolk virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line

Working on a t-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate

Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone

Los angeles give me norfolk virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line

(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
