CUDDLE BUGGIN' BABY

(Red Rowe)
« © '50 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
When the weather's kinda chilly and we start to kiss and hug
Everybody thinks she's silly cause she wants to cuddle bug
That cuddle buggin' baby of mine keeps cuddle buggin' all the time
Honey sweet double treat that cuddle buggin' baby of mine

When we go to see a movie and the lights are way down low
I can tell she'd rather cuddle bug than stay and see the show
That cuddle buggin' baby of mine keeps cuddle buggin' all the time
I repeat ain't she sweet that cuddle buggin' baby of mine

When the band begins to playin' and start to cuddle rug
I can almost share her sayin' let's go home and cuddle bug
That cuddle buggin' baby of mine keeps cuddle buggin' all the time
Turtle dove full of love that cuddle buggin' baby of mine
[ piano ] Oh I love my little darling and I guess I always will
When it comes to cuddle buggin' I just never get my fill
I love that cuddle buggin' baby of mine keeps cuddle buggin' all the time
Makes this boy jump with joy that cuddle buggin' of mine

CHAINED TO A MEMORY

(Jenny Lou Carson)
« © '46 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Makes no difference if we two are far apart dear
I could never ever love somebody new
Cause there isn't any room inside my heart dear
While I'm chained to a memory of you

I could never tell another I belong to them
All the whispered words of love would not be true
I could never tell another that I long for them
Cause I'm chained to a memory of you
[ steel ] Maybe time will wear the links away and then dear
They will break and set me free to love anew
But I'll never care for someone else again dear
While I'm chained to a memory of you

If the world should end tomorrow I'd be satisfied
Cause you're gone and there is nothing I can do
All my dreams and precious hopes of yesterday have died
Yet I'm chained to a memory of you

TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AND HOLD ME

(Cindy Walker)
« © '49 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Take me in your arms and hold me
Like I've been holding you in my heart
Take me in your arms and tell me
That you've missed me since we've been apart

You just don't know how heartsick and lonesome I've been
Or how much I've prayed that you'd come back again
And take me in your arms and hold me
Like I've been holding you in my heart
[ steel ] Take me in your arms...

YOU KNOW HOW TALK GETS AROUND

(Fred Rose)
« © '47 Milene Music, ASCAP »
I'm hearing funny stories and they're far from being true
But you know how talk gets around
Those busy tongues are wagging saying I walked out on you
But you know how talk gets around

I must admit our romance wasn't all that it should be
We tried to claim a love we'd never found
They say you're living reckless and they blame it on me
But you know how talk gets around
[ steel ] I hear you're glad we parted that you say and you don't care
Now you know how talk gets around
They're telling everybody that I didn't treat you fair
And you know how talk gets around

I wish I wasn't quite so proud when I'm around with friends
Then I wouldn't feel so honor bound
I'd give the world to tell them how I'd love to make commands
But you know how talk gets around

ECHO OF YOUR FOOTSTEPS

(Jenny Lou Carson)
« © '48 Unichappell Music, BMI »
The day that you told me you wanted to be free
I agree with everything you had to say
But I confess I lie and darling how I cry
When the echo of your footsteps died away

I thought our castle's had a firm foundation
But all along was only made of clay
With aching heart I'd found it tumbled to the ground
When the echo of your footsteps died away
[ steel ] If I had only known I'd feel so all alone
I'd have begged down on my knees for you to stay
The gates to paradise swung close before my eyes
When the echo of your footsteps died away

No matter where you are I wish you well dear
And I ask God to bless you everyday
For I cannot deny I bid my heart goodbye
When the echo of your footsteps died away

THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE IN ME

(Cy Coben)
« © '50 Delmore Music, ASCAP »
When I was very young my mother often said
I was a bashful kid my face was always red
I was afraid of girls but now you see Lordy Lord there's been a change in me
Then at the age of twelve I went to my first dance
We played so kissin' games and then I got the chance
To learn about how nice a kiss to be you know there was a change in me
[ fiddle ] I started notice in the little girl next door
I walked her home from school I never did before
I even carved her name upon a tree oh boy there was a change in me
I took the slick enough my hair were lots of clew
And I would shine my shoes and look in mirrors too
Until my mother said why son it's doom ain't it there's been a change in you
[ steel ] As the years went by I surely get around
Why I was number one bout all the girls in town
I had a different date most every night (whistle) there was a change alright
But now I've met a gal who stole my heart away
I'm gonna marry her and settle down someday
And if I'm through to her then I'll agree ha ha there's been a change in me

THERE'S NOT A THING (I WOULDN'T DO FOR YOU)

(Billy Hughes)
« © '47 Unichappell Music, BMI »
I take a trip to the Moon in an old rockin' ship
If I could be rewarded with a kiss from your sweet lips

Cause there's not a thing I wouldn't do for you
There's not a single little thing in this world I wouldn't do for you

I'd pick a lotta cotton work my fingers to the bone
If you would only promise to be just mine alone

Cause there's not a thing...

I'd even go to India picking some old toon
If you would be my baby neath the old India moon

Cause there's not a thing...
[ steel ] I may not mean so much to anybody else
But for you my baby I'll kep my love on the shelf

Cause there's not a thing...

I'd take a pick and shovel and if the need should be
I'd dig my way to China if you'd dig away with me

Cause there's not a thing...

MANY TEARS AGO

(Jenny Lou Carson)
« © '45 Adams Vee & Abbott Music, BMI »
Many tears ago you said you'd love me
Oh how happy was this heart of mine
Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere
And the sun went down no more to shine

Many tears ago I learned too well love
What it means to bear a heavy load
I found out just what has meant by sorrow
Many tears ago along life's road

Many tears ago I built a castle
Built it very strong and very tall
Though I thought it has a firm foundation
Many tears ago I saw it fall

Many times I've wished that I would die love
Better to be dead than feel so low
All I ever lived or ever hoped for
Left me many many tears ogo
[ steel ] Many tears ago you called me darling
In my dreams I hear you say it now
I can almost feel your arms around me
Arms that never meant to keep the vow

Many tears ago 'twas in the springtime
When you said goodbye and went away
Oh how well this aching heart remembers
Many many tears ago today

EASY ROCKIN' CHAIR

(Fred Rose)
« © '46 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Rock away my troubles rock away my cares
Oh I found peace and comfort in that easy rockin' chair
I feel just as wealthy as a millionaire
When I get back to Dixie in that easy rockin' chair
[ steel ] Everyone your neighbor welcome on the mare
Just sittin' doin' nothin' and not too much of there
Thumbin' through the good book thinkin' of a prayer
I rock my way to heaven in that easy rockin' chair
[ fiddle - steel ] Rockin' free and easy times are passin' by
And readin' the evenin' paper till I swat this pestifly
There I go a dozin' guess it's in the air
I gotta do some dreamin' in that easy rockin' chair
[ guitar ] Rock away my troubles...

TO MY SORROW

(Vic McAlpin)
« © '46 Adams Vee & Abbott Music, BMI »
To my sorrow I loved you only cause you told me your heart was true
Then you left me to love another to my sorrow I trusted you

Only time can heal this longing in my heart dear
And somebody else may help me to forget
I should hate you for all these heartaches
But to my sorrow I love you yet
[ steel ] To my sorrow you made a vow dear and you promised to never go
Now your promise and vows are broken why I love you I'll never know

Maybe someday when your head has turned to silver
You'll be sorry that you said we had to part
Though I'm smiling inside I'm crying
Cause to my sorrow you're in my heart
