You Belong to Me - Joni James

You Belong to Me

 

Written by: Pee Wee King, Chilton Price, Redd Stewart

You Belong to Me Lyrics

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me.

See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me.

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too---and blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

Waiting in the Lobby - Hank Thompson

Waiting in the Lobby of Your Heart

 

Written by: Billy Gray, Hank Thompson

Waiting in the Lobby Lyrics

I didn't have to be thrown in a dungeon
Or left in a chamber cold and dark
For such loneliness I'm sure is the same that I endure
While I'm waiting in the lobby of your heart

And now I'm waiting, waiting in the lobby of your heart
I'm on the doorstep yet we're so far apart
Many times I tried you wouldn't let me come inside
Now I'm waiting waiting in the lobby of your heart

You could have had me thrown into a prison
Or bound and tied with shackles on my feet
Instead of this sad taint to sit alone and wait
In the lobby of a heart that's cold as sleet

That Heart Belongs to Me - Webb Pierce

That Heart Belongs to Me

 

Written by: Webb Pierce

That Heart Belongs to Me Lyrics

There are so many flirty guys with flirty flirty ways
Till I'm so afraid that they will try to steal you some day
But don't you let 'em darlin' cause you belong to me
Oh please don't ever let them think your heart is fancy free
Don't do it darlin' that heart belongs to me

They'll tell you that I trifle and that you should do the same
They'll tell you that they need your love so why not make the change
Don't do it darlin' that love belongs to me
Oh please don't let them blind you I still love you can't you see
Don't do it darlin' that heart belongs to me

They'll offer you a mansion ask you if you'll be their queen
So they can give you riches make your life a happy dream
But don't let 'em darlin' that dream belongs to me
Oh sure they'll try to buy your love with riches such as these
But don't let 'em darlin' that dream belongs to me

Talk to Your Heart - Ray Price

Talk to Your Heart

 

Written by: Ray Price

Talk to Your Heart Lyrics

When you're alone at night with the world locked outside
Have a talk to your heart about me
If you told that it's right that we stay apart
Then let me come in and talk to your heart

Believe you me there will be happiness when
You open your door and let me come in
And if your told that it's right that we stay apart
Then let me come in and talk to your heart

Loving you changed my life in just one day
So talk to your heart and what does it say
If you told that it's right that we stay apart
Then let me come in and talk to your heart

So talk to your heart if it can't decide
Remember my own is waiting outside
As it’s waiting outside alone in the dark
So let me come in and talk to your heart

Setting the Woods on Fire - Hank Williams

Settin' the Woods on Fire

 

Written by: Ed Nelson, Fred Rose

Setting the Woods on Fire Lyrics

Comb your hair and paint and powder
You act proud and I'll act prouder
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire

You're my gal and I'm your feller
Dress up in your frock of yeller
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller
Settin' the woods on fire

We'll take in all the honky tonks
Tonight we're having fun
We'll show the folks a brand new dance
That never has been done

I don't care who thinks we're silly
You'll be daffy I'll be dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili
Settin' the woods on fire

I'll gas up my hot rod stoker
We'll get hotter than a poker
You'll be broke but I'll be broker
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire

We'll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We'll have a time, oh brother
Settin' the woods on fire

We'll put aside a little time
To fix a flat or two
My tires and tubes are doin' fine
But the air is showin' through

You clap hands and I'll start bowin'
We'll do all the law's allowin'
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin
Settin' the woods on fire

My Song Lyrics

You told me
That you would leave me here in tears
Now you're gone
And hours seem like years
So, darling, I sing my song

You're leaving
Makes my heart beat low and slow
Now I'm wondering where did you go?
Please tell me what is wrong

I still love you
Won't you please come back to me?
Come back where you oughtta be
Don't stay from me
'Cause you'll always be my own
We'll be together for eternity

You told me
That you would leave me here in tears
Now you're gone
And hours seem like years
So, darling, I sing my song

I still love you
Won't you please come back to me
Come back where you oughtta be
Don't stay from me
'Cause you'll always be my own
We'll be together for eternity

That you would leave me here in tears
Now you're gone
And hours seem like years
So, darling, I sing my song

Missing in Action - Ernest Tubb

Missing in Action

 

Missing in Action Lyrics

The warship had landed and night come ashore
The fighting was over for me ever more
For I had been wounded they left me forget
A stone for my pillow and snow for my bed

The enemy found me and took me away
And made me a prisoner of war so they say
But God in his mercy was with me one day
The gate was left open and I ran away

I returned to the old home my sweet wife to see
The home I had built for my darling and me
The door I then opened and there on the stand
I saw a picture of her and a man

The clothes she was wearing told me the sad tale
My darling was wearing a new bridal veil
Then I found a letter and these words I read
Missing in action she thought I was dead

So I kissed her picture and whispered goodbye
My poor heart was breaking but my eyes were dry
I knew it was too late for her now to learn
I knew she must never know I had returned

A vagabond dreamer forever I'll roam
Because there was no one to welcome me home
The face of my darling no more I shall see
For missing in action forever I'll be

The Little White Cloud - Johnnie Ray

The Little White Cloud That Cried

 

Written by: Johnnie Ray

The Little White Cloud Lyrics

I went walkin' down by the river
Feeling very sad inside
When all at once I saw in the sky
The little white cloud that cried

He told me he was very lonesome
And no one cared if he lived or died
And said sometimes the thunder and lightning
Make all little clouds hide

He said "Have faith in all kinds of weather"
"For the sun will always shine"
"Do your best and always remember"
"The dark clouds pass with time"

He asked if I'd tell all my world
Just how hard those little clouds try
That's how I know I'll always remember
The little white cloud....that sat right down....and cried

Let Old Mother Nature Lyrics

Darling this is my desire set your little old heart on fire
Do the things that lovers always do
So put your little hand in mine I buy you diamond ring so fine
Then I'll build a bungalow for two

So darling turn on all your charms while I hold you in my arms

And know that you were meant for me to love
You know your heart is beatin' fast
You know I'm gonna win at last
So cuddle up and be my turtle dove

Closer a little closer well there ain't no use to stay so far away
I like to touch your lips to mine like to win your love divine

Wild Side of Life - Jimmy Heap

The Wild Side of Life

 

Written by: William Warren, Arlie A. Carter

Wild Side of Life Lyrics

You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life

Yes it hurt me to know that you don't love me
Though I know that our love's forever gone
And it's killed my soul and pride, Dear, inside me
When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long

I'll just live my life alone with mem'ries of you
And dream of kisses traded for my tears
And no-one will ever know how much I love you
And I pray that you'll be happy through the years

You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life

The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flows
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
