I Don't Care (Just As Long As You Love Me)

Buck Owens

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Well I don't care if the sun don't shine I don't care if the bells don't chime
Just as long as you love me
And I don't care if the tops don't spin I don't care if the gins won't gin
Just as long as you love me
So darling let it rain let it snow let the cold north wind blow
Just as long as you love me
North or south east or west you know I will stand the test
Just as long as you love me
[ guitar ]
Well I don't care if the birds don't sing I don't care if the bells don't ring
Just as long as you love me
I don't care if the world don't turn I don't care if the fire don't burn
Just as long as you love me
So darling let it rain...
Oh darling just as long as you love me

Dang Me

Roger Miller

[ Don Rich]
Papapapa papapapa
Well here I sit high gettin' ideas ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this
Out all night runnin' wild woman's sittin' home with a month old child
I said dang me dang me they oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree woman would you weep for me
Papapapa one more time I say papapapa

Just sittin' round drinkin' with the rest of guys six rounds bought and I bought five
I've spent half the groceries all the rent I like fourteen dollars havin' 27 cents
I said dang me dang me...

The roses're red and violets're purple and sugar's sweet and so is maple syrupe
I was the seventh of seven sons my pappy was a pistol I'm a son of a gun
I said dang me dang me...

Don't Let Her Know

Buck Owens - Don Rich

© Central Songs, BMI

Lips make a smile on my face eyes don't let her see you shed a tear
Heart don't let her hear you skip a beat
And pride don't let her know how much I care
Don't let her know don't let her know how much I care
[ steel ]
Laugh dance and sing so she won't notice the hurt that's still burning deep inside
And don't let her see the way I tremble don't let her know how much I cried
Don't let her know don't let her know how much I've cried

Understand Your Man

Johnny Cash

© Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP

[ Doyle Holly ]
Well don't call my name out your window I'm leavin' I won't ever turn my head
Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin' I'll be gone like I said
You'd say the same old things that you've been saying all along
Lay there in bed and keep your mouth shot till I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cussin' moanin' groan understand your man
Tidy your bad mouth and understand your man
[ guitar ]
You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army and anything else I leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin' while I'm untanglin' my mind
I ain't gonna repear what I've said anymore
While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter then you'll understand your man
You hear me talkin' honey understand your man
Remember what I tell you understand your man

Loose Talk

Freddie Hart - Ann Lucas

© Central Songs, BMI

with Rose Maddox

So long we've been married last burden we've carried
Though fate kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we'd make up someone seems to break up
Oh darling what else can we do
We may have to leave here to find piece of mind dear
Some place where we can live a life of our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be if some folks would leave us alone

When I go out walking there's lots of loose talking
They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart
But darling it's not true because I still love you and I do with all of my heart
We may have to leave here...
[ steel ]
They say you are leaving that you are deceiving
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them there on that loose talk and do harm
And hope that's the truth they will see
We may have to leave here...

You're Welcome Anytime

Billy Mize - Ray Sanders

© Central Songs, BMI

Back in my arms again back in my dreams again back to this lonely world of mine
No need to call for me just come on home to me you know you're welcome anytime

I guess it wasn't in the cards where our love to go on
I found you had another on your mind
But if your deal don't work out the way you think it should
Come on home you're welcome anytime
Back in my arms again...
[ steel ]
Well I've heard that your new love is not the love you've planned
You call me to say you change your mind
If you were just another girl I wouldn't care at all
But I love you so you're welcome anytime
Back in my arms again...

Abilene

John D. Loudermilk

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

[ Doyle Holly ]

Abilene Abilene prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene sweet Abilene

I sat alone most every night watched the trains pull out of sight
Don't I wish they were carryin' me back to Abilene my Abilene
Abilene oh Abilene...
[ steel ]
Crowded city there ain't nothing free nothin' in this town for me
Wish to the Lord that I could be back in Abilene sweet Abilene
Abilene oh Abilene...
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene my Abilene

Playboy

Eddie Miller - Bob Morris

© Tree Publishing, BMI

They call me a playboy well I'm making my rounds
Chasing the bright lights of every nightspot in town
Though I never show it my heart's breaking in two
They may call me a playboy I'm just lonesome for you
I once had a real love that was when I had you
Now I'll never feel love with somebody new
These clothes that I'm wearing it's just to cover my blues
And they may call me a playboy but I'm just lonesome for you
[ steel ]
I once had a real love...

Louisiana Man

Doug Kershaw

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

[ Don Rich]
At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned
They raised him on the banks of the river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree a home for my mama and my papa and me
The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet
Already mama's cookin' papa somethin' to eat
At half past papa he's ready to go he hops in his piro headed down the bayou
They got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat
They said that crops in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can
Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man

Muskart hides a hangin' by the dozen even got a lady make a muskart's cousin
Pile of hide dryin' in the hot hot sun tomorrow papa's gonna turn them into mon
[ fiddle ]
They call my mama Rita and my daddy Jack
A little baby brother on the floor that's Mac
Rynn and Lynn are the family twins big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'
On the river float papa's great big boat that's how my papa goes into town
Makes every bit of the night and day then ever reach the place where the people stay
I can hardly wait untill tomorrow comes around
That's the day my papa takes his fures to town
Papa promised me that I could go even gonna see a cowboy show
I see the cowboys and Indians for the first time then told my pappy gotta go again
Papa said son we got the lines to run
We'll come back again that there's work to be done
And they got fishin' lines...

This Old Heart

Eddie Miller - Bob Morris

© Tree Publishing, BMI

This old heart has been around it's been up and it's been down
It's been walked on all over town but it still looks for love to come around

It's got memories of the past of love affairs that didn't last
It's been stood up by every girl in town but it still looks for love to come around
[ steel ]
Are you the next one to come along to give it hope and then do it wrong
Or will it be true love that last and wipe out all the tears from the past
Well this old heart...
Oh yes it still looks for love to come around
