A new boy came to town
I ain't seen you around
I feel a brand new heartache comin' on
It happened once before
When a guy moved in next door
I feel a brand new heartache comin' on
Why can't I trust in you?
Why do you try to make me blue the way you do?
Last night we planned a ball
You never showed at all
I feel a brand new heartache comin' on
(instrumental)
Why can't I trust in you?
Why do you try to make me blue the way you do?
Right now we've got a date
& you're 3 hours late
I feel a brand new heartache comin' on
Hey doll baby, can we have a little talk together
I wanna tell you all about my troubles
What you been doin' since your man's been gone
Show me how you feel since your man's back home
Hey doll baby, listen to me
Hey doll baby, there's a coat hangin' in my closet
Can't you remember when I bought it?
Tell me that your brother was here today
Don't wanna take it no other way
Hey doll baby, listen to me
(x2):
Well I was the man that made you
That's why I'll never trade you
You walk around here, lookin' so fine
Just about makes me lose my mind
Hey doll baby, make up your mind for love's sake
I ain't got no time for mistakes
I'm gonna roll back the rug & nail up the door
Ain't gonna leave you never no more
Hey doll baby, listen to me
Hey doll baby, hey doll baby
(instrumental)
Hey doll baby, listen to me
I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail
(K. Davis/H. Taylor)
"I'm not in your town to stay,"
Said a lady old & gray
To the warden of the penitentiary
"I'm not in your town to stay
& I'll soon be on my way
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
Oh warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"
"I tried to raise my baby right
I have prayed both day & night
That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad
I have searched both far & wide
& I feared that he had died
But at last I've found my baby here in jail
Oh warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail"
"It was just 5 years today
When his daddy passed away
He was found beneath the snow so cold & white
'Twas then I vowed to take his ring
& his gold watch & his chain
& the county laid his daddy in the grave
Yes warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave"
"I will pawn you his watch
I will pawn you his chain
I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring
I will wash all your clothes
I will scrub all your floors
If that will get my baby out of jail
Yes warden, if that will get my baby out of jail"
Then I heard the warden say
To the lady old & gray:
"I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side"
2 iron gates swang wide apart
She held her darlin' to her heart
She kissed her baby boy & then she died
But smiling, she kissed her baby boy & then she died
"I'm not in your town to stay,"
Said a lady old & gray
"I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
Yes warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"
Sleepless Nights
(Bourdleaux & Felice Bryant)
Through the sleepless nights I cry for you
& wonder who is kissing you
Oh these sleepless nights will break my heart in 2
Somehow through the days I don't give in
I hide the tears that wait within
Oh but then through sleepless nights I cry again
Why did you go? Why did you go?
Don't you know, don't you know
I need you?
I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Oh let it be, please let it be
Oh my love, please end these sleepless nights for me
Nashville Blues
(Bourdleaux & Felice Bryant)
A letter just came from Nashville
My sweet baby says she's blue
Gotta get back to Nashville
Or my heart will break in 2
Oh I miss her so; I just gotta go
I've got the Nashville blues
Gotta get back to Nashville
'Cause that's where the good times are
Ever since I left Nashville
The kicks ain't been up to par
I'm lonely & though I'm livin' just low
I've got the Nashville blues
Wanna go see my Sally
& tell her that I still care
Wanna see Prinner's Alley
& dig all the cool spice there
I'm makin' to be in old Tennessee
I've got the Nashville blues
My father looked at me one day & said "Son, it's plain to see
That you're getting older & should have a talk with me
You'll soon be going on lots of dates as to a man you grow
& there's one important thing every boy should know:
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why some have eyes of blue
That's why some stand 5 feet 2
Girls, girls, girls were made to love"
"One day soon you'll have a date & take her home at night
You'll wonder as you look at her, would a kiss be right?
The more you look, the more you'll find those doubts will fill your
head
But think real hard & you might recall the things your old dad
said:
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why you watch 'em walk down the street
That's why the kisses taste awfully sweet
Girls, girls, girls were made to love"
(repeat & fade):
Love, love
Radio And TV
(Bourdleaux & Felice Bryant)
Radio & TV do a lot for me
Lots of times I dig my honey
When I'm runnin' short of foldin' money
& the radio & TV are free
At the outdoor movie, everything is groovy
But at times I like it better
Just to bring my baby home & set her
At the radio & TV with me
(x2):
It's nice to sit & say things that lovers have to say
While the good guys chase the bad guys & the top 10 records play
Take away my car keys, take away my waterskis
Take away my foldin' money, take it all
But just don't take my honey or my radio & TV from me
(humming, to fade)
Stick With Me Baby
(Mel Tillis)
Everybody's been a-talkin'; they say our love wasn't real
That it would soon be over; that's not the way that I feel
But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may
Come on & stick with me, baby; we'll find a way
Yes, we'll find a way
(instrumental)
Everybody's been a-talkin'; yes, the news travels fast
They said the fire would stop burnin', that the flame wouldn't last
But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may
Come on & stick with me, baby; we'll find a way
Yes, we'll find a way
(repeat & fade):
Come on & stick with me, baby
I give to you & you give to me true love, true love
So on & on it will always be true love, true love
(x2):
For you & I have a guardian angel on high with nothing to do
But to give to you & to give to me love forever true
CHORUS:
I'm dancing round & round
Acting just like a a clown
I know I'll never be free
I'm just a puppet on a string
I've lost my pride & everything
It began on the day we met
She'd kiss me once & I was lost
She thrills me now, I'll pay the cost
Dancing the Nancy's Minuet
(chorus)
(instrumental)
The music's deep within my heart
She looks at me & the dancin' starts
I'm just a foolish marionette
I'll never break a single string
To stay with her means everything
Dancing the Nancy's Minuet
(chorus)
I'm Not Angry
(Don & Phil Everly, under pseudonym Jimmy Howard)
I hope your radio won't play until I've had my say
I hope your mail always fails to reach you
Until you wanna hear from me
I hope your wristwatch goes berserk
But I'm not angry, I'm just hurt
I hope your phone will never ring & you can never sing
I hope your car doesn't start, cannot move
Until you wanna be with me
I hope your brand new dress gets torn
But I'm not angry, just forlorn
I'll make a voodoo dance to fit with bats & owls
We'll haunt your house on rattle chains
We'll hang around until you call my name
& tell me that you want me back again
I hope your records always break, your shoes make your feet ache
I hope your luck will get stuck on black cats
Until you want a kiss from me
I hope your TV's always bad
But I'm not angry, I'm just sad
(instrumental)
(repeat & fade):
But I'm not angry, I'm just sad
How Can I Meet Her
(Gerry Goffin/Jack Keller)
She's the prettiest girl & town & she sure knows it
The way she walks & the way she talks sure shows it
I hate that stuck-up so-&-so
But there's one thing I gotta know
Where 's she live, what's her number & how can I meet her?
She comes on like she's so high-class & well-bred
But I never saw a girl with such a swell head
She's got herself a night, I'll wait
She thinks I'll ask her for a date
But where 's she live, what's her number & how can I meet her?
(Spoken):
She's in love with herself; you know the kind
Always puttin' on airs!
The guys in town all think she's Mona Lisa
& she's got 'em all goin' out of their way to please her
Well Miss C's a mystery
But she don't do a thing to me
But where 's she live, what's her number & how can I meet her?
How can I meet her? How can I meet her?
Yonder come-a Willie, he's a-passin' on the hill
He don't dress nice, but tries good to kill
CHORUS:
Burma Shave, Burma Shave
Burma Shave, Burma Shave
I bet I've seen a million roads
Of them little red bow-legged signs up & down the line
Come on, come on & get it, get it
Pappy ain't a smart, he ain't but a-quizzin'
But with one thing he knows how to keep 'em all his
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Way down yonder by the forks of the branch
The old sow whistles & the little pigs dance
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Roses are red, violets are blue
You chase me & I'll catch you
(chorus)
Muskrat
(Merle Travis/Tex Ann/Harold Hensley)
Muskrat, muskrat, what makes your back so slick?
I've been livin' in the water all my life
There's no wonder I'm sick
I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick
Groundhog, groundhog, what makes your back so round?
I've been livin' in the ground all my life
There's no wonder I'll go 'round
I'll go 'round, I'll go 'round, I'll go 'round
Tapir, tapir, what makes you fly so high?
I've been eatin' me savin's all my life
There's no wonder I'll die
I'll die, I'll die, I'll die
(instrumental)
Rooster, rooster, what makes your bark so hard?
I've been scratchin' in the barnyard all my life
There's no wonder I'm tired
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Bobcat, bobcat, what makes your tail so long?
I've been prowlin' around all my life
There's no wonder I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
CHORUS:
Oh oh oh how I miss you so
Mmmm I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one time
If I could see you just one time
Oh how it'd ease my troubled mind
If I could hold you just one time
& then pretend that you're still mine
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Wish I could really one more time
Turn back the pages in there I'd find
That same old love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time
(repeat chorus & fade)
Lonely Street
(Kenny Sowder/Carl Belew/W.S. Stevenson)
I'm looking for that Lonely Street
I've got a sad sad tale to tell
I need a place to go & weep
Where's this place called Lonely Street?
A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams & memories meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street?
Perhaps upon that Lonely Street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
& watch an old love die
If I could find that Lonely Street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams & memories meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street?
Where's this place called Lonely Street?
Sweet dreams of you, every night I go through
Why can't I forget you & start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you?
You don't love me & it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you my whole life through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
(instrumental)
Sweet dreams of you, things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget you, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you?
(repeat verse 1 & fade)
