HEY GOOD LOOKIN'

(Hank Williams) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' something up with me
Hey sweet baby don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recepie

I got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' something up with me
[ ac.guitar - dobro ] I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about saving all your time for me
No more lookin' I know I've been tooken
How's about keeping steady company

I'm gonna throw my datebook over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents
I'll keep it till it's covered with age
Cause I'm writing your name down on every page
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' something up with me

WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME

(Hank Williams) « © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Why don't you love me like you used to do
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do

Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you spark like you used to do
And say sweet nothings like you used to coo
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
Why don't you love me like you used to do
[ harmonica - fiddle ] Well why don't you be just like you used to be
How come you find so many faults with me
Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do

Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you say things you used to say
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do

MANSION ON THE HILL

(Hank Williams - Fred Rose) « © '48 Milene Music, ASCAP / Intersong USA, ASCAP »
Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill

Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
[ harmonica - fiddle ] I've waited all through the years love to give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you are livin' in sorrow in your loveless mansion on the hill

The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
In your loveless mansion on the hill

YOUR CHEATING HEART

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Your cheating heart will make you weep you'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through your cheating heart will tell on you

When tears come down like falling rain you'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do your cheating heart will tell on you
[ harmonica ] Your cheating heart will pine someday and crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you'll be blue your cheating heart will tell on you

When tears come down...

YOU WIN AGAIN

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
The news is out all over town that you've been seen a running round
I know that I should leave but then I just can't go you win again
This heart of mine could never see what everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin what can I do you win again
[ harmonica ] I'm sorry for your victim now cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain and someday soon you win again
You have no heart you have no shame you take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain I love you still you won again

KAW-LIGA

(Hank Williams - Fred Rose) « © '52 Milene Music, ASCAP / Intersong USA, ASCAP »
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head
[ fiddle ] Kaw-Liga was a lonely Indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga...

JAMBALAYA (ON THE BAYOU)

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
[ fiddle ] Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
Kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down far from town get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie...

THERE'LL BE NO TEARDROPS TONIGHT

(Hank Williams) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'll pretend I'm free from sorrow make believe that wrong is right
Your wedding day will be tomorrow but there'll be no teardrops tonight
Why oh why should you desert me are you doing this for spite
If you only want to hurt me then there'll be no teardrops tonight
[ guitar - harmonica ] I'll believe that you still love me when you wear your veil of white
But you think that you're above me so there'll be no teardrops tonight
Shame oh shame for what you're doing other's arms will hold you tight
You don't care whose life you're ruining so there'll be no teardrops tonight

COLD COLD HEART

(Hank Williams) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
But you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
[ harmonica ] You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

I CAN'T HELP IT (IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU)

(Hank Williams) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Today I passed you on the street and my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side and he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
[ harmonica - fiddle ] It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

TAKE THESE CHAINS FROM MY HEART

(Fred Rose - Hy Heath) « © '52 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartache lingerS on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new let me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
[ harmonica ] Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartache lingerS on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY

(Hank Williams) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry
[ harmonica ] Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
