I'M MOVIN' ON

(Hank Snow) « © '50 Unichappell Music, BMI »
That big eight wheeler rolling down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't coming back
I'm movin' on I'll soon be gone
You were flying too high for my little old sky so I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland we're coming to you
We're movin' on oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me so I've set you free and I'm movin' on
[ banjo ] Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
I've got a pretty woman in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal let the black smoke roll keep rollin' me on
[ fiddle ] I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
I'm movin' on I'm rollin' on
You broken your vow and it's all over now so I'm movin' on

But some day baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on stayed away too long
I'm through with you too bad you're blue so keep movin' on

TOMORROW NEVER COMES

(Ernest Tubb - Johnny Bond) « © '58 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Oh you tell me that you love me yes you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married but tomorrow's never there

Oh tomorrow never comes no tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me but tomorrow never comes

Many weeks now have I waited many long nights have I cried
Just to see that happy morning when I'd have you by my side
[ guitar ] So tomorrow I'll be leaving yes tomorrow I'll be gone
Oh tomorrow you'll be weeping but tomorrow never comes

Oh tomorrow never comes...

CANDY KISSES

(George Morgan) « © '48 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than any of mine
Candy kisses wrapped in paper you'd rather have them any old time
You don't mean it when you whisper those sweet love words in my ear
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than mine do dear
[ harmonica ] I build a castle out of dreams dear I thought that you were building one too
Now my castles all have fallen and I am left alone and blue
Once my heart was filled with gladness now there's sadness only tears
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than mine do dear

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE

(Leon Payne) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I love you because you understand dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a halping hand dear
I love you most of all because you're you

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you cause you're you
[ fiddle ] I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness you've opened wide

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you because you're you

FILIPINO BABY

(Billy Cox - Clarke Van Ness) « © '40 Shapiro Bernstein & Co, ASCAP »
When the warship's left Manila sailing proudly o'er the sea deep blue sea
Many sailors hearts were filled with sad regret
Looking backward to this Island where they spent such happy hours happy hours
Making love to every pretty girl they've met

Well up stopped a little sailor with his pride eyes all aglow all aglow
Saying take a look at my girl's photograph
Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her face smiling face
And he said I love my Filipino baby

She's my Filipino baby she's my trasure and my pet loving pet
Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair as black as jet
Her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know true I know
She's my darling little dark eyed Filipino
[ banjo ] In a little rustic cottage in the port of Filipines Filipines
Dwells a pretty little maiden all alone
And she's thinking of her darling who is far across the sea deep blue sea
And her heart beats true for him and him alone

Then one day he whispered darling I've come back from Caroline South Caroline
I've come back to claim the only girl I love
Then that night there was a wedding as the ships crew gathered round all around
And he wed his little Filipino baby

She's my Filipino baby...
She's my darling little dark eyed Filipino

I'LL GO ON ALONE

(Marty Robbins) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
We're traveling down two different roads in world so far apart
You wanted me but now you seem to have a change of heart
You think I ought to live my life the way you live your own
But either take me as I am or I'll go on alone

You want to take me overnew you say I live so wrong
With you believing like you do we'll never get along
I just can't change the way I live when all is said and done
So either take me as I am or I'll go on alone
[ fiddle - guitar ] If you can't see my side of life then please don't pitty me
You just refused to go half way so why not set me free
We don't belong together if the truth were really known
Someday you'll have to go your way and I'll go on alone

FOGGY RIVER

(Fred Rose) « © '46 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Your love is colder than a foggy river flowing o'er a heart of stone
You left me stranded on this foggy river drifting helpless and alone
Can't escape this broken heart of mine there's no freedom anymore
Oh heaven help me on this foggy river help me find the distant shore
[ harmonica ] There's no tomorrow on this foggy river only mem'ries linger on
A mist of sorrow chills this foggy river everything I love is gone
Always knew some day you'd let me down I've got troubles on my mind
Guess I'm doomed to sail this foggy river till I leave your love behind

OH LONESOME ME

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set set me free oh lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me

I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me
[ fiddle - guitar ] I'll bet she's not like me...
Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me

SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON

(Hank Locklin) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
[ fiddle - guitar - dobro ] Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

SATISFIED MIND

(Red Hayes - Jack Rhodes) « © '54 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I would do things my way
But little they know that's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was willing in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it happened I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
[ fiddle ] Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When life has ended my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt
But one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

DON'T LET ME CROSS OVER

(Penny Jay) « © '62 Troy Martin Music, BMI »
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line

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 and I'm not the stealing kind
But 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
[ piano ] I've 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 be left
I don't want to cheat dear but I can't help myself

Don't let me cross over...

UNCLE PEN

(Bill Monroe) « © '51 Peer International, BMI »
Oh the people would come from far away dance all night till the break of day
When the caller hollered do-se-do we knew Uncle Pen was ready to go

Late in the evening bout sundown high on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh how it would ring
You could hear it talk you could hear it sing
[ fiddle ] He played an old tune called Soldier's Joy and the one they called Boston Boy
And the greatest of all was Jenny Lind to me that's where the fiddlin' began

Late in the evening bout sundown...
[ banjo - guitar ] I'll never forget that mournful day when Uncle Pen was called away
Hang up his fiddle they hang up his bow they know it was time for him to go

Late in the evening bout sundown...
