EDDY'S SONG

(Cy Coben - Charles Grean)
« © '52 Delmore Music, ASCAP »
I just caught the lovebug itch Molly darlin'
And I wanna play house with you
Take me in your arms and hold me and be mine
I'll send you a big bouquet of roses anytime
I know there's no wings on my angel
But how easy on the eyes you've been
There's been a change in me it's true
I wanna full time job with you
And if that's how much I love you it's a sin
[ steel - guitar ] What is life without just a little lovin'
So it's older and molder we'll be
Don't you ever take the ribbons from your hair
Or you'll be rockin' all alone in your easy rockin' chair
I won't rob another man's castle
I'll be chained to a memory
You're just a great big bundle of
That southern sunshine that I love
And my cuddle buggin' baby you will be

ROLL ALONG KENTUCKY MOON

(Bill Halley)
« © '51 Southern Music, ASCAP »
Day is done and here am I alone and you know why
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon
Shed a ray of silvery light at the one I love tonight
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon

You were watching on high as we whispered goodbye
Twas a love dream that ended too soon
But wherever she may be oh bring her back to me
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon
[ steel ] You were watching on high...

THERE'S NO WINGS ON MY ANGEL

(Cy Coben - Eddy Arnold - Doug Melsher)
« © '48 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
There's no wings on my angel cause she's not from heaven above
No halo on my angel but she's still the one that I love
I know that she flirts I know she's untrue
But I love her so so what can I do
There's no wings on my angel but she's still an angel to me
[ fiddle - guitar - steel ] There's no wings on my angel the devil is there in her eyes
No gold crown on my angel she's foolin' the one with her lies
I know love is blind but still I can see
That my love for her means sweet misery
There's no wings on my angel but she's still an angel to me

WHEN MY BLUE MOON TURNS TO GOLD AGAIN

(Wiley Walker - Gene Sullivan)
« © '41 Peer International, BMI »
Memories that linger in my heart
Memories that make my heart grow cold
But some day they'll live again sweetheart
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back within my arms to stay
[ steel ] The lips that used to thrill me so
Your kisses were meant for only me
In my dreams they live again sweetheart
But my golden moon is just a memory

The castles we built of dreams together
Were the sweetest stories ever told
Maybe we will live them all again
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

When my blue moon turns to gold again...

CONDEMNED WITHOUT TRIAL

(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)
« © '52 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Condemned without trial no chance to explain
Sentenced to be lonely despised
Condemned without trial to heartache and pain
I thought that you demand me from the life

As heavens my chance and the world is my jolly
I'm faithful I swear that I am
Condemned without trial someday you may be
Then you'll think of me and understand
[ guitar - piano ] As heavens my chance...

WHY SHOULD I CRY OVER YOU

(Zeke Clements)
« © '49 Forster Music, ASCAP »
Why should I cry over you dear when you never cried over me
You want to take without giving that's why our hearts disagree
You called our dream world a prison but from now on you'll be free
Why should I cry over you dear when you never cried over me
[ steel ] Why should I cry over you dear...

DAY YOU LEFT ME

(Cindy Walker)
« © '58 Unichappell Music, BMI »
On the books this day will be known to all officially
As the day when you left me the day you left me
But my heart could testify that the date is just a lie
For the day has long gone by the day you left me

You've been here but not really here I know how well I know
You've packed your dreams and left my heart a long long time ago
Though you've just walked out the door and you won't be back anymore
You had left me long before the day you left me
You had left me long before the day you left me

I'M A GOOD BOY

(Charles Grean - Marvin Moore)
« © '58 Alley Music, BMI »
When I park the car where is dimly lighted
There's no cause to get excited no
(You're sure) ah ah I'm a good boy
If my arm should slip around your shoulder
That's no sign that I'll get bolder no
(You're sure) ah ah I'm a good boy

If I hold you tight and I kinda think I might
Don't be afraid of me cause honey I won't fight
If I steal a kiss gentle and romantic
Just relax and don't get frantic no
(Why not) ah ah I'm a good boy
I'm a good boy for you

Ah ah I'm a good boy ooh I'm a good boy

If I hold you tight and I kinda think I might...

WORST NIGHT OF MY LIFE

(Jan Crutchfield - Jerry Crutchfield)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Last night was the worst that I've gone through
Cause last night was the first without
I never felt so left alone
Called your house but you weren't home
Last night was the worst of my life

I've known your sweet love for so long
So last night I tried to think what went wrong
I counted stars tried to forget
It's no use you're not home yet
Yeah last night was the worst of my life

Maybe a new love I should find
But I can't with you still on my mind
They're telling me to forget you
Easy to say but hard to do
Last night was the worst of my life

ONE KISS TOO MANY

(Eddy Arnold - Steve Nelson - Ed Nelson)
« © '48 Unichappell Music, BMI »
I had one kiss too many and it went right to my heart
What a fool I was to fall in love with you
I had one kiss too many and sure I was gone right from the start
I was kissing someone who just couldn't be true

I knew the morning after I made a big mistake
That extra kiss was more than this for heart of mine to take
I had one kiss too many I remember it and I cry
Cause when I kissed you I kissed my heart goodbye
[ steel ] I had one kiss too many and it took me by surprise
Now I know I'll never ever be the same
I had one kiss too many sure I'd never close my eyes
Cause I know that you were only playin' a game

I should have been contented to take a kiss and run
I had to hang around until I got that fatal one
I had one kiss too many it was just too much for me
Oh but one kiss less my heart might still be free

KENTUCKY WALTZ

(Bill Monroe)
« © '46 Peer International, BMI »
We were waltzin' that night in Kentucky
By that beautiful harvest moon
And I was a boy that was lucky
But it all ended too soon
As I sit here alone in the moonlight
I see your smiling face
And I long once more for your embrace
And that beautiful Kentucky Waltz
[ steel ] We were waltzin' that night in Kentucky...
