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 wondering 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

TOO MANY RIVERS

(Harlan Howard) « © '64 Combine Music, BMI »
I wish I could come back to you dear
I know that you want me to
But too much waters run under that old bridge
There's too many rivers between me and you

There's just too many rivers to cross babe
Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights I've turned and tossed
There's too many rivers to cross

Now don't think for a moment I blame only you
We both killed the fruit on the vine
And when you try to put love back together
There's always a few little pieces you can't find

Yes there's just too many rivers...

IT COMES AND GOES

(Bill Anderson) « © '63 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Everybody asks if I still love you and if you're still on my mind
They ask me to tell 'em bout my broken heart and I tell 'em that I'm feelin' fine
I lie a little bit and I proudly say our book of love is closed
And your memory never bothers me and when it does it comes and goes

It comes and goes all right
Comes every morning and it goes all night
I say with lotta pride and I haven't really lied
I just tell 'em that it comes and goes

Everybody asks if I cried when you left and if I've cried for you since
They hope I have so they can all get together and laugh it up at my expense
So I lie a little bit and I proudly say not one teardrop flows
When there is a little pain it's not a constant thing it kinda just comes and goes

It comes and goes all right...
I tell 'em that it comes and goes I tell 'em that it comes and goes

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...
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away

DAYS GONE BY

(Al Stillman - Alex Alstone) « © '65 Edward B Marks Music, BMI »
The days gone by are drifting through my memory
The days gone by are shadding in my heart
How often have I closed my eyes so I might see
The days gone by that never quite depart

Old friends hello I called to you across the years
And in my heart I hear your soft reply
Old friends hello though we're apart I'm near you see
Oh how I love to dream of days gone by

Old friends hello I called to you across across the years
And in my heart I hear I hear your soft reply
Old friends hello though we're apart I'm near you see
Oh how I love to dream of days gone by

MARY CLAIRE MELVINA REBECCA JANE

(Martha White - Sarah Nix) « © '65 Twin Forks Music, BMI »
(Her name is Mary Claire Melvina Rebecca Jane)

There's a pretty little girl in my hometown
I tried to kiss her but she turned me down
Tried to hug her but her answer was the same
She's got blue eyes and the beauty spot
--?--
Her name is Mary Claire Melvina Rebecca Jane

That's her name (what's her name)
That's her name (what's her name)
Her name is Mary Claire Melvina Rebecca Jane
(Her name is Mary Claire Melvina Rebecca Jane) [ banjo ] She's the cutiest little girl I ever saw in my life
I hope someday she'll be my wife
I'm gonna ask her to let me change her name
She's got blue eyes and the beauty spot...

That's her name (what's her name)...
[ banjo ] (What's her name) that's her name ...

I'M LETTING YOU GO (GOODBYE)

(Billy Grammer - Webb Pierce - Roy Drusky) « © '58 Combine Music, BMI »
I'm trying my best to convince myself
That I'm doing the right thing by you
You'd never have asked to be free of our love
And I've loved you so much and I still do

If you had been cheat or wronged me in someway
I guess it would be easier for me
But that's not my story it's just that you love another not me

I'm letting you go for I can't bear to see all your loveliness fade away and die
Our folks will be hurt for little they know no one knows just you and I
The one that you loved
Is the one that I thought I could make you forget and never cry
Your heart is still cold I've got heartaches untold I'm letting you go goodbye

AS USUAL

(Alex Zanetis) « © '64 Jack O Diamonds Publications, BMI »
The sun comes up and brings the dawn as usual
And I awake I'll find you're gone as usual
But I can't find a way to let this crazy heart of mine forget
I pretend you're still beside me as usual

Each evening I take a walk as usual
I make believe that we still talk as usual
People always stop and stare I guess they just don't see you there
Don't they know you'll always be right here as usual

Today I looked into my mirror as usual
I told myself that you're still here as usual
And as I stood there telling lies the tears began to fill my eyes
Cause I know I'm only fooling myself as usual

I'M WALKING BEHIND YOU

(Billy Reid) « © '62 Colgems Music, ASCAP »
Look over your shoulder I'm walking behind

I'm walking behind you on your wedding day
And I'll hear you promise to love and obey
Though you may forget me you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder I'm walking behind

Maybe I'll kiss again with a love that's new
But I shall wish again I was kissing you

Cause I'll always love you wherever you go
And though we are parted I want you to know
That if things go wrong dear and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder I'm walking behind

Maybe I'll kiss again...
Cause I'll always love you wherever you go...

IF YOU WERE MINE MARY

(Chip Taylor) « © '65 Ridge Music, BMI »
If you were mine Mary know what I'd do
I'd take the stars Mary and give them to you
If you were mine Mary know what I'd say
I'd say that I love Mary over again all through the day

So if you love me please don't pretend
For there's a lifetime of happiness waiting round the bend

If you were mine Mary know what I'd do
I'd take my heart Mary and with all my love I'd give it to you
I'd take my heart Mary and with all my love I'd give it to you

TAKING CHANCES

(Lester Vanadore) « © '65 Attain Music, BMI »
Taking chances with this heart each time I hold you
Afraid I might be going too far
Taking chances with these lips each time I tell you
Oh you're the one that I've been waiting for

Someone else is still on your mind
But I'll take the chance that I'll win in time
Knowing I might lose when you got to choose
But yet I stay around just taking chances

Someone else is still on your mind...

YOU STILL GOT A HOLD ON ME

(Merle Kilgore) « © '65 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Though I only see you now and then
It's just enough to break my heart again
Cause you still got a hold on me
It hurts to ask how you've been
And walk away from you like some old friend
Cause you still got a hold on me

Can't help it if I show it don't care who knows it
That you've still got a hold on me
It grows stronger everyday it's like you've never gone away
Cause you still got a hold on me

Can't help it if I show it...
