Devil Woman

I told Mary about us I told her about our great sin
Mary cried and forgave me and Mary took me back again
Said if I wanted my freedom I could be free evermore
But I don't wanna be and I don't wanna see Mary cry anymore

Oh devil woman devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be and leave me alone I wanna go home

Mary is waitin' and weepin' down in her shack by the sea
Even after I've hurt her Mary's still in love with me
Devil woman it's over trapped no more by your charms
Yes I don't wanna stay I wanna get away woman let go of my arms

Oh devil woman devil woman let go of me...

Devil woman you're evil like the dark coral reef
Like the winds that bring high tides you bring sorrow and grief
You made me ashamed to face Mary I barely had the strenght to tell
Skies're not so black Mary took me back Mary has broken your spell

Oh devil woman devil woman let go of me...

Running alone by the seashore running as fast as I can
Even the seagulls are happy glad I'm coming home again
Never again will I ever cause another tear to fall
Down the beach I see what belongs to me the one I want most of all

Oh devil woman devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be leave me alone I'm going back home

Love Is Blue

Bryan Blackburn - Pierre Lemaire - Andre Popp

Blue blue my world is blue blue is my world since I'm without you
Grey grey my life is grey cold is my heart since you went away

Red red my eyes are red crying for you alone in my bed
Green green my jealous heart I doubted you and now we're apart

When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died now the rainbow is gone
[ strings ]
Black black the nights I've known longing for you so lost and alone
Gone gone the love we knew blue is my world since I'm without you

You Gave Me A Mountain

Marty Robbins

© Mariposa Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI

Born in the heat of the desert my mother died giving me life
Despised and disliked by my father blamed for the loss of his wife
You know Lord I've been in a prison for something I'd never done
It's been one hill after another and I've climbed them Lord one by one

But this time you gave me a mountain a mountain I may never climb
It isn't a hill any longer you gave me a mountain this time

My woman got tired of the hardships tired of the grief and the strife
Tired of working for nothing tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine she took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living she took my small baby boy

And this time you gave me a mountain...

I Walk Alone

Herbert Wilson - Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne

© Adams Vee And Abbott Music, BMI

I walk alone where once we wandered
It seems so strange since that you are gone
Till you return I'll stay the same dear
I'll still be true and walk alone

The flame of love is brightly burning
You know that I'm your very own
And till you return I'll stay the same dear
And I'll still be true and I walk alone
[ organ ]
The flame of love is brightly burning...

It's A Sin

Fred Rose - Zeb Turner

© Milene Music, ASCAP

It's a sin a sin the way I love you
Because I know our love could never be
It's a sin to say that I don't miss you
When silence proves that you've forgotten me

The dream I built for us has tumbled
And each promise broken like my heart
Why pretend that I can't live without you
When deep inside I know that it's a sin

The dream I built for us...

Girl With Gardenias In Her Hair

Bob Tubert - Joy Byers

© Mariposa Music, BMI / Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP

One starry night in a little town in old Mexico
I found my love down by the sea where soft trade winds blow
She came in the night with perfume that sweetened the air
And I lost my heart to the girl with gardenias in her hair

I glanced her way she smiled and my heart started to sing
She came into my arms and the night became a sweet magic thing
When I held her close I knew I'd follow her anywhere
And I lost my heart to the girl with gardenias in her hair

We shared through the night our love until the first light of dawn
Then one last kiss and like a whisper on the wind she was gone

I go each night to the places where she once spoke my name
Some call me fool they say I'm chasing only a dream
But I know one day I'll turn and suddenly she'll be there
And I'll spend my life with the girl with gardenias in her hair

My Woman My Woman My Wife

Marty Robbins

© Mariposa Music, BMI

Hands that are strong but wrinkled doing work that never gets done
Hair that's lost some of the beauty by too many hours in the sun
Eyes that show some disappointment and there's been quite a lot in her life
She's the foundation I lean on my woman my woman my wife

Every day has been uphill we climb but we can't reach the top
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged she just smiles when I want to stop
Lips that are weary but tender with love that strengthens my life
A saint in a dress made of gingham my woman my woman my wife

Two little babies were born in the spring but died when the winter was new
I lost control of my mind and my soul but my woman's faith carried us through

When she reaches that river Lord you know what she's worth
Give her that mansion up yonder cause she's been through hell here on earth
Lord give her my share of heaven if I've earned any here in this life
Cause God I believe she deserves it my woman my woman my wife

Tonight Carmen

Carmen Carmen Carmen

Tonight I am aching my body is shaking
Tonight Carmen's coming back home
Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom
Tonight Carmen's coming back home
Tonight as I stand here I notice my hand here
Is trembling as never before
My feelings I can't hide resistance has all tied
My pride will rush outside The moment she walks through the door

The lips that have kissed her that's loved her and missed her
Are the lips that have cursed her at night
In a anguish and torment I've cursed as the night went
From darkness till dawn's golden light
I thought of just taking these two hands and breaking
The body I'm waiting to touch
I find when I'm waiting there's no time for hating
While anticipating the woman I wanted so much

I place pretty flowers to brighten the hours
I put brand new sheets on the bed
I'm nervous I'm trembling recalling remembering
The way that she tosses her head
I've given much thought to the fact that I ought to
Have more control over my life
How can I fight it how can I deny it
There's no way to hide it the love that I had for my wife
