Milwaukee Here I Come

Lee Fykes

© Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI

Well I'm gonna get on the ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town till you decide
Which one do you want the most them Opry stars or me
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee

We were watchin' TV Ernest Tubb was singin' loud
I said that's the man for me I love him there's no doubt
I'm leavin' you right now to go and find out where he's at
But if I can't get him I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt

Well I'm gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide
Which one do you want the most George Jones or Jerry Lee
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee
[ piano ]
Well I'm goin' now and trade my ol' Ford for a nose
I might get all drunked up and trade it for the rose
There's just one thing I know I'll always be true
Cause there ain't no way to get drunk honey to stop my lovin' you

Babe I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide
Which one do you want the most George Jones or Jerry Lee
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee

Well I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide
Which one do you want the most George Jones or rockin' Jerry Lee
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee
Whoa Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee

Well we got married in a fever it was hotter than a pepper sprout
Now we've been talkin' bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson yeah I'm gonna mess around
Take a trip down to Jackson look out Jackson town

When they laugh at you in Jackson I'll be dancin' on the pony keg
When I'll lead you around town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
I'm goin' to Jackson I'm gonna mess around
Yeah I'm goin' to Jackson look out Jackson town

Well we got married in a fever it was hotter than a pepper sprout...

When I breeze into that city these people are gonna stop and bow
All them women gonna make me teach 'em what they don't know how
I'm goin' to Jackson honey turn loose of my coat
I said I'm gonna take a trip down to Jackson bye bye that's all she wrote

Oh we got married in a fever it was hotter than a pepper sprout...
Well we got married in a fever it was hotter than a pepper sprout...

Don't Take It Out On Me

Kenneth Lovelace - Linda Gail Lewis

© Decapo Music, BMI

Don't you take it out on me don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see I'm living in misery oh baby oh oh oh baby
Don't you take it out on me cause I'm not the one who broke your heart
When you told me you were leaving I thought that you were only teasing
But I knew it from the start
Don't you take it out on me don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see I'm living in misery oh baby oh oh oh baby
[ piano ]
Don't you take it out on me I'm not the one who acted smart
I gave you all my love and then some but a new love you did welcome
So come on baby have a heart
Don't you take it out on me don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see I'm living in misery oh baby oh oh oh baby
Don't you take it out on me don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see I'm living in misery
Don't you take it out on me don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see I'm living in misery

Crying Time

Buck Owens

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Well they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
But my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I live to be a hundred years old

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me...

Now you say you found someone that you love better
Ah maybe so maybe so
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me...

I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Sweet Thang

Nat Stuckey

© Tree Publishing, BMI / Su-Ma Publishing, BMI

Well I slipped out of the old house about sundown
While mama was a washin' her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me
When she finds that I'm not there
And if she catches her sweet thang running around
I know there'll be the devil to pay
She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door
And I can hear exactly what she'll say

Well has anybody here seen my sweet thang
I got a notion he'll be headin' this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomo cattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you barroom roses if my sweet thang just happens by
You better take my advice if you blink more than twice
You better have something in your eye
[ piano ]
Well I give my baby all my money on payday
Except a little she don't know that I've got
Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe
And she seems to like me quite a lot
While we were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a talk
She was a believin' everything I said
Well the door blew open and mama walked in
Shoutin' loud enough to wake up the dead

Well has anybody here seen my sweet thang...
Well you better take my advice and if you blink more than twice
You better have something in your eye

Secret Places

Cecil Harrelson - Kenneth Lovelace - Linda Gail Lewis

© Decapo Music, BMI

Every time you hold me close we meet in secret places
We can't go out on the town cause people know our faces
We've loved each other all these years
We've lived with constant shame and fear
But we'll go on and live our love tonight in secret places

Secret places hidden faces that's all we've ever known
Stolen moments warm embraces we know we just can't be wrong
Why do we have to hide our love when we belong together
Our love is like a ship at sea that's tossed by stormy weather
But hopefully the time will be when you'll belong to only me
Then we won't have to slip around and meet in secret places
[ fiddle ]
Secret places hidden faces that's all we've ever known...

Don't Let Me Cross Over

Penny Jay

© Troy Martin Music, BMI

I'm tempted my darling to steal you away
Don't let me cross over stay out of my way
You know that I love you but I'm not the stealing kind
Though I'm faced with heartaches at love's cheating line

Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
You belong to another and can never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
[ guitar fiddle ]
Well I tried to forget you but what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying that you love me too
I know if I lose you not a dream will I have left
Well I don't want to cheat dear but I can't help myself

Don't let me cross over love's cheating line...

Gotta Travel On

Paul Clayton

© Sanga Music, BMI

I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone yeah winter's comin' on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

Papa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home
Johnny can't come home no Johnny can't come home
Papa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home
Cause he's been on that chain gang too long

I've laid around and played around...

High sheriff and police ridin' after me
Ridin' after me yeah comin' after me
High sheriff and police ridin' after me
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

Wanna see my baby wanna see her bad wanna see her bad
Yeah I gotta see her bad
Wanna see my honey I wanna see her bad
She's the best gal this poor boy ever had

I've laid around and played around...
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

We Live In Two Different Worlds

Fred Rose

© Milene Music, ASCAP

We live in two different worlds dear
That's why we're so far apart
You made your world out of vows that are broken
I built a world in my heart

Everyone here tried to warn meYou were just playing a game
I told them all we were meant for each other
I thought our worlds were the same
[ piano ]
If you stay over in your world
Oh how my poor heart will pine
Darling someday when your memories wander
Won't you come over to mine

We live in two different worlds dear
My world is honest and true
Sweetheart remember when your world gets lonely
I'll still be waiting for you

Earth Up Above (Grand Ole Moon Up Above)

Donald Murray

© Peer Music, BMI

From the Houston Astrodome to the blue skies over Rome
And in Paris with its towers so tall
There's a moon up above shared by everyone in love
Winter springtime in the summer and fall

And down the road to old Peru down in old Australia too
Men and women everywhere are fallin' in love
You'll find that everyplace love strikes the human race
They all share the same ol' moon up above

We look far ahead with that old moon we hold stead
And the people livin' there fallin' love
You'll find that everyplace love strikes the human race
They all share the same ol' moon up above

Then down that road to old Peru...
They all share the same ol' moon up above

Roll Over Beethoven

Chuck Berry

© Islee Music, BMI

I'm gonna write a little letter and mail it to my local DJ
It's a jumpin' little record I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven I gotta hear it again today

You know my temperature is a risin' and the jukebox is blowin' a fuse
I caught the rockin' apparatus set it down at a rhythm revue
Roll it over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven
Dig a little rhythm and blues
[ piano ]
Well it's early in the mornin' and I'm givin' you a warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle I'm a playin' my fiddle and I ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven and dig a little rhythm and blues

Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven...
Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven...
