Take Good Care Of Her

Arthur Kent - Ed Warren

© Music Sales, ASCAP

I supposed I ought to say congratulations
For you've won the only girl I've ever loved
But I hurt too much to face the situation
So 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
To take good care of her take good care of her

I must accepted 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
So take good care of her

Please take good care of her
Take good care of her

Distant Drums

I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go and you must stay

So Mary marry me let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
Love me now for now is all the time there may be
If you love me Mary Mary marry me

I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away far away
And if they call then I must go
Across the sea so wild and grey

So Mary marry me let's not wait...

Flowers On The Wall

Lew DeWitt

© Wallflower Music, BMI

I've been hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
If I were walkin' in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worryin' about me I'm havin' lots of fun

Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all
Playing solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do

Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time

Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all...

It's good to see you I must go I know I look alright
Anyway my eyes are not a custom to the slight
And my shoes are not a custom to this hard time street
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all...
Don't tell me I've nothing to do

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hank Williams

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whinin' low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawlin' by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a fallin' star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I Love You Drops

Bill Anderson

© Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI

They're not teardrops just sincere drops
They're I love you drops cause I love you

They were on my pillow when I woke up this morning
They were on the letter I tried all day to write
And just a little while ago I saw them falling
On your picture as I kissed it goodnight

I love you drops I miss you drops
Hurry home drops you've been gone too long drops
They're not teardrops just sincere drops
That say I'm lonesome and I love you

Never knew this heart could hurt the way it hurts for you
Never lived so many lifetimes in one week
Why don't you come back to me the way you said you would
And kiss these salty crystals off my cheek

I love you drops I miss you drops
Hurry home drops you've been gone so long drops
They're not teardrops just sincere drops
That say I'm lonesome and I love you

Think Of Me

Don Rich - Estrella Olson

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Think of me when you're lonely think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away for I'll be a thinkin' of you

Remember all the good times we shared in days gone bay
Remember all the sadness the days you said goodbye

You said that you were leavin' but you wouldn't be gone too long
With each new day I hope and pray that you'll come a travelin' home

Think of me when you're lonely think of me when you're blue...
[ guitar ]
I watch the mailman a comin' I listen for the phone
I meet the train at the station but I spend my nights alone

But now the waitin' is over and time has set the scene
Yes God made me for only you and he meant you for me

Think of me when you're lonely think of me when you're blue...
Think of me when you're far away for I'll be a thinkin' of you

Almost Persuaded

Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man

Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hand in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine

And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To push my conscience aside

Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band

And I was almost persuaded
To let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home

I Want To Go With You

Hank Cochran

© Tree Publishing, BMI

I wanna go with you
To that other world
The one your love takes me to
I wanna go with you

I wish I were glass
So you could see through
Then you'd know before you ask
That I wanna go with you

I wanna go with you...
[ piano ]
Your love takes me away
To a world I never knew
What else can I do
I wanna go with you

I wanna go with you...

True Love's A Blessing

Sonny James - Carole Smith

© Mike Curb Music, BMI

True love's a blessing true love's a wonderful blessing
True love's a blessing wait and see
When you've found the right girl you've dound brightest pearl
True love's a blessing yes siree

Some girls love for money some make love a game
Some girls use their love for steppin' stones to fame
There are many kinds of love in this great big world
But there's no love like a love of a good good girl

True love's a blessing true love's a wonderful blessing...

Some girls take their love too casually they flirt
Some mens use their love to break a heart to hurt
There are many kinds of love to be found that's true
But there's no love like the love I found when I found you

True love's a blessing true love's a wonderful blessing...
True love's a blessing true love's a wonderful blessing...
True love's a blessing true love's a wonderful blessing...

Don't Touch Me

Hank Cochran

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me
That look in your eyes pulls me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty
And I'm thirsty for you with all my heart
Don't love me then act as though we've never kissed
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Don't give me something that you might take away
To have you and then lose you wouldn't be smart on my part
Don't love me then act as though we've never kissed
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Race Is On

Don Rollins

© Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI

I feel tears wellin' up from deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard then she gave me your final goodbye
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow I may break right down and cry

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the runnin' true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all
[ guitar ]
One day I ventured in love never once suspectin' what the final result would be
How I lived in fear of wakin' up each mornin' and findin' that you're gone from me
Cause there's ache and pain in my heart for the name that I want to never replace
Somebody new came up to win her and I came out in second place

Now the race is on here comes pride up the backstretch...

Make The World Go Away

Hank Cochran

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me
And make the world go away

Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

I'm sorry if I've hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make the world go away

Make the world go away...

Say the things you use to say
And make the world go away
