Don't Come Knocking On My Door

Dallas Frazier

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Woman don't you think I know you've been down at Smoky Joe's
Spendin' all my workin' cash a drinkin' mash and talkin' trash
But you ain't foolin' me no more so don't come knockin' on my door

Woman I'm all done with you you just lost yourself a fool
Go out and find another man to lay them greenbacks in your hand
You ain't welcome here no more so don't come knockin' on my door

Yeah yeah yeah I bought you pretty dresses and chocolate candy bars
I bought you highheel sneakers and a car with whitewall tires
I give you all my lovin' but all I got was shame
Cause all you've done was cheat on me and scandalize my name

Woman hear me when I say oh turn your head and walk away
You don't fool me if you cry I just said my last goodbye
I don't want you round no more so don't come knockin' on my door
I don't want you round no more so don't come knockin' on my door
I don't want you round no more so don't come knockin' on my door

Write That Down

Dallas Frazier

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Well you're gonna be sorry hum you're gonna be sad
Someday you'e gonna find out baby I was all that you had
When you get lonesome hum said you'll come around
And beg for my lovin' child said write that down

I know you're gonna come knockin' on my front door
When they put the padlock on the corner grocery store
So I'm gonna tell you yeah where I can be found
Get you a pencil baby and write that down

Write that down write that down
You'll come crawlin' back baby and you're gonna cover some ground
Hum write that down I said you talked about me
Umm done me like dirt and it never bothered you how much I hurt
But one of these days girl umm you'll make a different sound
You'll cry long and loud for me write that down

Write that down write that down...

Tell It Like It Is

George Davis - Lee Diamond

© Arc Music, BMI

If you want something to play with go out and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive mhm and I'm not a little boy
If you are serious don't play with my heart it makes me furious
But if you want mhm me to love you then baby I will girl you know I will

Tell it like it is don't be ashamed let your conscious be your guide mhm mhm
I know deep down inside of me I know baby you love me forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow you may be here today gone tomorrow
You might as well get used to what you want
So go on and live uhm baby go on and live uhm

Tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with go and find yourself a toy
Tell it like it is

My Woman Up't And Gone

Dallas Frazier

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Been livin' way down in the heartbreak zone
Smokin' and drinkin' my coffee all alone
My mohair suit is all I own
Because my woman up't and gone

That woman's got me crawlin round on the floor
That's just how low she put me down a bop a mau mau
Sometimes I'd like to go get stoned
Because my woman's up't and gone
[ horns ]
Home without my woman just ain't no home
I lost the cool that kept my heat turned on
I toss and turn till the break of dawn
because my woman's up't and gone

That woman's got me crawlin' round on the ground
That's just how low she put me down a bop a mau mau
Sometimes I'd like to go get stoned
Because my woman's up't and gone

Sometimes I'd like to go get stoned
Because my woman's up't and gone

Honk'n Tonk

Dallas Frazier

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Now here's a little story it's all about two swingin' fleas
They was the two hippest fleas that ever lived in fleatown
One played wild piano and one played wild guitar
Now pay a little attention while I lay some flea jazz down

They was in that group cause they could blow them sounds
And they was workin' in a place called Hole In The Ground
The flea that played piano they called him Honk
And the flea that blowed guitar his mama named him Tonk

Now the boss flea said you cats just blow what you want
And every Saturday night them fleas would blow Honk'n Tonk

Now there was four pretty little fleas and they was go-go fleas
Hum they'd been imported from a rich beegle hound
Now all the hippy fleas hung out at the Hole In The Ground
they dug Honk'n Tonk and watch the go-go fleas dance around

Honk would blow twelve bars and he could sure get gone
And Tonk'd say cool daddy and start a puttin' him on
There just ain't no two fleas that could blow more funk
Than the funky sounds that come from Honk'n Tonk

Now the boss flea said you cats just blow what you want
And every Saturday night them fleas would blow Honk'n Tonk
And every Saturday night them fleas would blow Honk'n Tonk

Hard Working Days Are On Their Way For Nannie Mae

Dallas Frazier

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Nannie Mae it's over cause I'm no longer blind
I's a fool to believe your love was mine
You was eatin' t-bones and had me eatin' hay
The only time your hand touched mine was a when it come payday

Whoa there's gonna be some changin' and I mean what I say
Hard working days are on their way for Nannie Mae

You sure had me hog-tied with your big sweet talk line
You even had me workin' overtime
All your uptown boyfriends laughin' hind my back
I drove a worn out ford and you drove a brand new cadillac

Whoa there's gonna be some changin'...

You'd better hock your diamonds and hock your high class wig
Cause you gonna go from t-bone steaks down to the shakes of a starvin' pig
No more golden earrings are first for Nannie Mae
No more big houses where you stay
No more sugar daddy or piggy banks to rob
I'm gonna buy you a broom so you can find you a sweepin' job

Whoa there's gonna be some changin'...
Whoa there's gonna be some changin'...

Ain't Nothin' Shakin' (But The Leaves)

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Ever since the day that you left me I been whinin' like a little lost pup
The sun went down when you left town and you ain't a gonna come back up
A walkin' in a wearin' out leather a scuffin' up the hardwood floor
Starin' at the phone since you've been gone and listenin' for a knock on the door

I said there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze
There ain't nothin' happenin' with the birds and the bees
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves
[ guitar ]
Hurt slippin' in' through the window the heartaches are laughin' in the hall
And I got the news that old man blues is a seepin' through the cracks in the wall
The end is a waitin' round the corner and hope is just about gone
If you only knew how I needed you then you'd come a runnin' back home

I said there ain't nothin' shakin'...
I said there ain't nothin' shakin'...

Green Green Grass Of Home

Curly Putman

© Tree Publishing, BMI

The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to meet me arms areaching smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me at the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home

Make you lose your breath and stutter whoa Clawhammer Clyde

A purple eyes and a chin like hog jawl whoa Clawhammer Clyde
Who makes wolfman really shimmy whoa Clawhammer Clyde
A makes him a give when he says a gimme me whoa Clawhammer Clyde

When they see Clyde a ridin'...

He wears a black leather cap with long ear flaps that flip-flop in the wind
He got a big black hoss that calls him boss and boots made of lizard hide
I said a pull them shades and run for cover here come Clawhammer Clyde

Whoa who that creature I see comin' whoa Clawhammer Clyde
A makes the posse take off runnin' whoa Clawhammer Clyde

Ain't Had No Lovin'

Dallas Frazier

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Ain't done one single thing this mornin'
Except for cryin' all alone
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't a gonna get no lovin' till you come home

Nothin' been the same since you left me
Everything has gone from right to wrong
Umm ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't a gonna get no lovin' till you come home

Smiles of yesterday now find me cryin'
The red and golden rainbow turns to blue
With every breath I take I feel like dyin'
I said life just ain't worth livin' when I ain't got you

Each and every day I've spent without you
Is one more hurtin' lonely day too long
Umm ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't a gonna get no lovin' till you come home

I said I said ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't a gonna get no lovin' till you come home

Hurtin' From The Hunger For Your Love

Dallas Frazier

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I've been a hurtin' from the hunger for your love
I've been a hurtin' ever since you've been gone
I've been a hurtin' from the hunger for your love
And I keep a hurtin' till you come home

Wish I only knew what to do my poor heart's breakin' in two
Everyday is rainy and blue and lonesome cause I ain't got you

I've been a hurtin' from the hunger for your love...
[ sax ]
Ever since you left me behind I can't make my little light shine
Hurtin' and a cryin' all time a livin' with the trouble of mine

I've been a hurtin' from the hunger for your love...
