Travelin Blues - Jimmie Rodgers

Travelin' Blues

 

Written by: Jimmie Rodgers, Shelly Lee Alley

Travelin' Blues Lyrics

I had a dream last night I thought my good gal had gone
I woke up this morning, she had really done me wrong
I know it's not fair but my good gal has done caught air

My gal's been triflin' around just about a week I know
Several of my friends just told me so and so
She's found a new man and now I can understand

I'm goin' away, leaving today, I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver don't jump the railroad track
I'll take her from that man, I’m gonna bring her home if I can

It's true my baby's gone, I know it won't be long
We'll both be on that train, my baby's coming home again
She's been triflin' 'round but now she’s turned him down

Travelin' Blues Lyrics

I had a dream last night I thought my good gal had gone
Well, I woke up this morning, she really had done me wrong
I know it's not fair but my good gal has done caught air

I'm gonna away, leaving today, I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver don't jump the railroad track
I'll take her from that man, gonna bring her home if I can

My gal's been triflin' 'round about a week I know
Several of my friends just told me so and so
She's found a new man and now I can understand

So I'm gonna away, leaving today, I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver don't jump the railroad track
I'll take her from that man, gonna bring her home if I can

Well, it's true my baby's gone, I know it won't be long
We'll both be on that train, my baby's coming home again
She's been triflin' 'round but now she has turned him down

Yeah, I'm gonna away, leaving today, I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver don't jump the railroad track
I'll take her from that man, gonna bring her home if I can

Would I Love You Lyrics

Oh, for just the chance to love you
Would I love you, love you, love you
To take you in my arms
Has always been my goal

Sure as there's a moon above you
Would I love you, love you, love you
With all my heart and soul
With all my heart and soul

You ask me, would I love you if you let me
Eyes that see are eyes that know
Would I love you? What a question
When I'm yearning so

Sparrow in the Treetop - Guy Mitchell

Sparrow in the Treetop
Written by: Bob Merrill

Sparrow in the Treetop Lyrics

In the tavern, all night sittin' in the tavern
In the tavern singin' songs

Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Though he loves his mate
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late

Don't look at me, sweetheart, with scorn in your eyes
Been out all night, gonna tell you no lies
Stopped in one place, heard them singin' a song
(Heard them singin' a song)
Like a lonely sparrow, started singin' along
(Just singin')


In walked a blonde and, dear, she asked me to dance
I told that blonde that there wasn't a chance
I love my kids and my beautiful wife
(And my beautiful wife)
That's the honest truth, dear, and I swear by my life
(Just singin')


(In the tavern, all night sittin' in the tavern,)
(In the tavern singin' songs)

There's things I am sweetheart, and things that I ain't
'Cause I'm a man and a man is no saint
Won't you forgive 'cause I'm tellin' you true
('Cause I'm tellin' you true)
I was in the tavern only thinkin' of you
(Just singin')


(Just singin')

(In the tavern, all night sittin' in the tavern,)
(In the tavern singin' songs)

Mocking Bird Hill - Pinetoppers

Mockin' Bird Hill

 

Written by: Vaughn Horton

Mockin' Bird Hill Lyrics

When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill

Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill

Got a three-cornered plow and an acre to till
And a mule that I bought for a ten-dollar bill
There's a tumble-down shack and a rusty old mill
But it's my Home Sweet Home up on Mockingbird Hill


Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill

When it's late in the evening I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
Singin' songs in the twilight on Mockingbird Hill

Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill

Look What Thoughts -. Lefty Frizzell

Look What Thoughts Will Do

 

Written by: Jim Beck, Dub Dickerson, Lefty Frizzell

'Look What Thoughts Will Do' Lyrics

Once I thought I loved just you
And I thought you loved me too
But just look what thoughts will do
For today you say we're through

Now another wears the crown
And you think that you have found
Just what makes your world go round
Watch those thoughts they'll get you down

If within your future years
Your new love should bring you tears
Then you'll think of me I'm sure
But those thoughts won't help you dear

Thought I'd build a home for two
Just a home for me and you
Thought we'd have some kiddies too
But just look what thoughts will do

Now I know just how you feel
That your love was never real
Guess to you I don't appeal
So we'll just forget the deal

So goodbye and here's to you
And I'm happy through and through
Yes you thought that I'd be blue
But just look what thoughts will do

Let's Live a Little - Carl Smith

Let's Live a Little

 

Let's Live a Little Lyrics

Take your little lips and kiss me
Take your little arms and squeeze me
Let's live a little before we say goodbye
I'll draw my money out of the bank
I'll buy you roses and pretty things
Let's live a little before we say goodbye

You'll wear a yellow ribbon in your wavy hair
I'll wear the suit you like and a big bow tie
We'll pretend we're happy though we know it's a lie
So let's live a little before we say goodbye

You'll be my queen of beauty
I'll be proud of you, my cutie
Let's live a little before we say goodbye
Someday our hair will turn gray
And we will think of yesterday
So let's live a little before we say goodbye

The band will be playing a waltz just for two
And I will be saying, "Darling, I love you"
We'll pretend we're happy though we know it's a lie
So let's live a little before we say goodbye

It's No Secret - Stuart Hamblen

It's No Secret

 

Written by: Stuart Hamblen

It's No Secret Lyrics

The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
For I have news for you

It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do

There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone
Always feel at home
Wherever you may roam

There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side
Take Him at His promise
Don't run away and hide

It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do

I Want to Be with You - Lefty Frizzell

I Want to Be with You Always

 

Written by: Jim Beck, Lefty Frizzell

I Want to Be with You Always Lyrics

I lose my blues
Honey, when I'm with you
No one else can do
You're in my heart to stay

But when I'm gone, and I'm all alone
I'll be singing this song I wanna be with you, always

I'd be happy, dear, if you could only be here
And always be nearer, forever and a day
Then we'd travel far, we'd be some big shinin' star
Just you and my guitar and stay there, sweetheart for always

I hope you feel the same, you really want my name
Well, you'll be the one who's to blame
If it works out wrong that day
Cause my love is true, my love is only for you
I'll never be blue, if I can be with you, always

I Love You a Thousand Ways Lyrics

I love you, I'll prove it in days to come
I swear it's true
Darlin', you're the only one
I think of you, of the past and all our fun
I love you, I'll prove it in days to come

You're my darling, you've been true
I should have been good to you
You're the one that's in my heart
While we're apart

I'll be true
I'll prove it to you someday
I love you
In my heart you'll always stay
I've been so blue and lonesome all these days
I love you, I'll prove it a thousand ways

I'll be nice and sweet to you
And no more will you be blue
I'll prove I love you everyday
All kinds of ways

Darlin' please wait
Please wait until I'm free
There'll be a change
A great change made in me
I'll be true, there'll never be blue days
I love you, I'll prove it a thousand ways

Crying Heart Blues - Johnnie and Jack

Cryin' Heart Blues

 

Written by: Joe Brown

Crying Heart Blues Lyrics

Crying the blues
I’m crying because I have lost you
Blues I can’t lose
I guess it’s too late now to try
I’ve tried to choose another to love but it’s no use
Crying heart blues there’s nothing that’s left but to cry

I’ll always remember I love you
My teardrops won’t let me forget
Each tear is a wish to be near you
They started the day that we met

A trail of tears will lead you to me if you want me
And from my hopeless my crying heart flees

Written by: Maurice Murray, Fred Rose

Crazy Heart Lyrics

You thought she'd care for you and so you acted smart
Go on and break, you Crazy Heart
You lived on promises I knew would fall apart
Go on and break you Crazy Heart

You never would admit you were mistaken
You didn't even know, the chances you were takin'
I knew you couldn't win, I told you from the start
Go on and break you Crazy Heart

I knew you'd wake up and find her missin'
I tried my best to warn you, but you wouldn't listen
You told me I was wrong, you thought that you were smart
Go on and break you Crazy Heart

Baby let me hold your hand
Until I make you understand, ohh, baby
