BOUQUET OF ROSES

(Steve Nelson - Bob Hillard)
« © '48 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Better Half Music, ASCAP »
I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart
And as the door of love between us closes
Tears will fall like petals when we part

I begged you to be different but you'll always be untrue
I'm tired of forgiving now there's nothing left to do
So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart
[ steel - ac.guitar ] I know that I should hate you after all you've put me through
But how can I be bitter when I'm still in love with you
So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart

MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY

(Hank Cochran)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Make the world go away and get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved me before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me and make the world go away

Make the world go away...

I'm sorry if I hurt you I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to and make the world go away

Make the world go away...

ANYTIME

(Herbert Lawson)
« © '21 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Anytime you're feeling lonely
Anytime you're feeling blue
Anytime you feel down-hearted
That will prove your love for me is true

Anytime you're thinking bout me
That's the time I'll think of you
Anytime you say you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you
[ guitar ] Anytime will be the right time
Anytime at all will do
Anytime you say you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you

I'LL HOLD YOU IN MY HEART

(Vic McAlpin - Eddy Arnold - Howard Horton)
« © '47 Adams Vee & Abbott Music, BMI »
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
Like you'd never been held before
I'll think of you each day and then I'll dream the night away
Till you are in my arms once more

The stars up in the sky know the reason why
I feel so blue when I'm away from you
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
So darling please wait for me

The stars up in the sky know the reason why...

I WANT TO GO WITH YOU

(Hank Cochran)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I wanna go with you to that other world
The one your love takes me to I wanna go with you

I wish I were glass so you could see through
Then you'd know before you ask that I wanna go with you

I wanna go with you...

You take me away to a world I never knew
But what else can say I wanna go with you

I wanna go with you...
The one your love takes me to I wanna go with you

LAST WORD IN LONESOME IS ME

(Roger Miller)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me

Too bad what's happened to our good love
Too bad what's happened to our good love
Sometimes our best isn't quite good enough
And the last word in lonesome is me

The last word in lonesome is me...
My heart is as lonely...

WHAT'S HE DOIN' IN MY WORLD

(Carl Belew - Billy Joe Moore - Eddie Bush)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
What's he doin' in my world what's he doin' holdin' my world
If he's not more than just a friend why were you kissin' him
And what's he doin' in my world

What's he doin' in my world did you tell him that you're my girl
If your love is really true tell him my world's made for two
What's he doin' in my world

Oh don't let me keep on wonderin' just what you're gonna do
Wondering if the one I love loves somebody new

What's he doin' in my world we don't need him here in our world
So if it's true he's just a friend explain those kisses you gave him
And what's he doin' in my world

JUST A LITTLE LOVIN' (WILL GO A LONG WAY)

(Eddy Arnold - Zeke Clements)
« © '47 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of the days
Put your arms around me then I'll be your slave
Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way

Ever since that time began love has ruled the world
Even Adam set the pace and started in a whirl
I met you and now I know that you're the one for me
Come on back and you will plainly see

Just a little lovin'...

I don't believe you really know how much I love you
If you did you'd come on back and make my dreams come true
Your eyes your lips your loving kisses seem to linger yet
I'll forgive but please don't you forget

That just a little lovin'...

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW

(Don Robertson - Howard Barnes)
« © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
How many arms have held you and hated to let you go
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know

How many lips have kissed you and set your soul aglow
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know

So always make me wonder always make me guess
And even if I ask you darling don't confess

Just let it remain me your secret but darling I love you so
No wonder no wonder I wonder though I really don't want to know

YOU DON'T KNOW ME

(Cindy Walker - Eddy Arnold)
« © '55 Unichappell Music, BMI »
You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell you think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been
But you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with the love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance you might have loved me too

You gave your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside a lucky guy
You'll never never know the one who loves you so
No you don't know me

You gave your hand to me...

THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

(Eddy Arnold - Wally Fowler - Graydon J. Hall)
« © '46 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Well if I had a nickel I know what I would do
I'd spend it all for candy and give it all to you
I'd spend it all for candy and give it all to you
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you

Well if you were a kitten with pretty glossy fur
I'd take you up and stroke you and listen to you purr
I'd take you up and stroke you and listen to you purr
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you

Oh if you were a tiger I'd hang around your den
I'd pester you my honey until you let me in
Oh I'd pester you my honey until you let me in
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you
[ guitar ] Well if you were a horsefly and I an old grey mare
I'd stand and let you bite me and never move a hair
I'd stand and let you bite me and never move a hair
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you

Well if you want to marry now let me tell you what
We'll go and find the parson and let him tie the knot
We'll go and find the parson and let him tie the knot
Cause that's how much I love you woman that's how much I love you

CATTLE CALL

(Tex Owens)
« © '43 Forster Music, ASCAP »
(moan)
The cattle are prowlin' the coyotes are howlin'
Out with the doggies bawl
Where spurs are jinglin' a cowboy is singin'
This lonesome cattle call
(moan)

He rides in the sun till his day's work is done
And he rounds up the cattle each fall
(moan)
Singin' this cattle call

For hours he will ride on the range far and wide
When the night wind blows up a squall
His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather
Ge sings his cattle call
(moan)

He's brown as a berry from ridin' the prairie
And he sings with an old western drawl
(moan)
Singin' this cattle call
(moan)
