IT WASN'T GOD WHO MADE HONKY TONK ANGELS

(Jimmy D. Miller)
« © '52 Peer International, BMI »
As I sit here tonight the jukebox playin'
A song about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
It brings mem'ries when I was a trustin' wife

It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
[ steel ] Well it's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most ev'ry heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels...
Yeah it's caused many a good girl to go wrong

THAT'S A NO NO

(Ben Peters)
« © '69 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »
You had quite good thing goin' with the girls you're used to knowin'
You went up and down your list just like a yo-yo
And though it may be hard to stop it I'm afraid you'll have to drop it
Cause if you want me to love you that's a no no

I know you're used to goin' places with dim lights and painted faces
Where the dancin' girls do somethin' they call a go-go
I don't wanna stop your fun now but if I'm the only one now
And if you want me to love you that's a no no

You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much
So if you just can't resist 'em and they're not out of your system
And if there's some more wild oats you've got to go sow
Just remember while you're sowin' I'll be a packin' up and goin'
Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
[ steel ] A you know a no no means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much
So if some ole flame starts burnin' or if you should get to yearnin'
To go back to where those women that you know go
A don't come home expectin' mama's a waitin' here in her pajamas
Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
Oh you should know by now that's a no no
Yeah you should know by now that that's a no no

OUR HOUSE IS NOT A HOME

(Curly Putman - Shirley Mayo)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Our house is furnished in early lonely
We have crystal teardrops for our chandelier
Shutters of sadness won't let happiness get in
Our house is not a home for it's never been loved in

Our bedroom has curtains of icy lace
Fine carpets where my restless feet have cased
To be so lovely yet so empty must be a sin
Our house is not a home for it's never been loved in

It's never known the joy or the sound of tiny feet
In cold perfection it looks down on the world like you look down on me
Why do we try to fool the world why do we pretend
Our house is not a home for it's never been loved in
Our house is not a home for it's never been loved in

RIDE RIDE RIDE

(Liz Anderson)
« © '63 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied
If you don't care get on your hoss and ride ride ride

Since you got on your high horse all those fancy friends you've found
You've had a hard time seein' me you're always lookin' down

If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...

You talk about me honey ah you try to tear me down
Ah but while you're throwin' dirt at me you're slowly losin' ground

If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...
[ steel ] If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...

I'll have your second fiddle returned to you today
Cause baby that's one instrument I've never learned to play

If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...
If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...

TAKE ME HOME

(Betty Jo Gibson)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
In here the lights are dim but all around
My eyes see things they're wishin' that they'd never even found
Your party's gettin' rough and this party's seen enough
To know that I had best be homeward bound

Take me home please take me home
I'm not your kind of girl
Take me home please take me home
I don't belong here in your world

It hits my mind like water in the face
The kind of girl you thought I was to bring me to this place
I guess I'm just naive but somehow I believe
There's more to life than livin' in disgrace

Take me home please take me home...
I don't belong here in your world

NO ANOTHER TIME

(Jerry Lane - Slim Williamson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Two times up and three times down
Ev'rybody knows that's the way to drown
And then it's too late to swim to the shore
And this'll be the third time you've left me for her

And there ain't gonna be no another time
There ain't gonna be no another time
When you leave you'd better pack cause you ain't comin' back
There ain't gonna be no another time

A let me further explain what I'm a talkin' about
A three strikes baby and then you're out
You've already had two swings at the ball
There's just one more and I'm afraid that's all

Cause there ain't gonna be no another time...
[ steel ] I've always a heard about the third time charm
And this is trip number three you've made to her arms
I hope you'll find what you're lookin' for
Cause I'm changin' the lock on my front door

And there ain't gonna be no another time...
There ain't gonna be no another time...

FLATTERY WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE

(Liz Anderson)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I noticed how you smiled just now surprised at having seen
How I ate up your flattery then licked the platter clean
I've been so starved for pretty words however insincere
Till as for me flattery will get you ev'rywhere

So brag me up and make me smile and I'll do things your way
Say pretty words to me and I'll do anything you say
Don't worry if they're true or not the truth is I don't care
And as for me flattery will get you ev'rywhere

Another love said hurtin' words until our love was gone
He'd always get the shoe to fit and I'd have to put it on
Say words unkind and soon my mind will close from ear to ear
And as for me flattery will get you ev'rywhere

So brag me up and make me smile and I'll do things your way...
And as for me flattery will get you everywhere

PARTLY BILL (Vance Bulla - Steve Allen)
« © '69 Sue-Mirl Music, ASCAP »
There was an emptiness within my life along about the time he came along
And so I guess that you could say that when he came along he came on pretty strong
Cause back then suddenly it seemed to me the emptiness within me had been filled
And when I wondered what the reasons were I had to answer at least partly Bill
Partly Bill (partly Bill) partly Bill

I can remember hearing music with the pretty words of love he had to say
And I recall the times of laughter and the joy that I felt on our wedding day
It was the only real fulfillment that the world has shown me yet and even still
I know that I'm a different person and a part of me is surely partly Bill
Partly Bill (partly Bill) partly Bill

But then the sad part of the story came when Bill just seemed to lose his love for me
And when he left me the effect on me was plain enough for anyone to see
But then when ev'rybody asked me what was on my mind I shyly answered them
I said it's not a great big problem but I will admit the problem's partly him
Partly him (partly him) partly Bill

Now here I am and ev'rybody thinks I'm all alone with no one to call mine
But I don't feel my life is empty all I need is just the passing of some time
I've got a special feeling deep inside me telling me that he is with me still
And when the baby grows up strong and tall I'll tell them all
That he is partly Bill Partly Bill (partly Bill) partly Bill

WAVE BYE BYE TO THE MAN

(Betty Jo Gibson - Buck Lindsay)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
See that man at the door the one who made us cry
He won't anymore for we'll be gone bye bye
My little one you see he don't love you and me
So raise your little hand and wave bye bye to the man

He's the man who stays gone more than he stays at home
The man you call dad the one you'll never had
A real daddy you know would never let us part
He'd hold us here with love that comes straight from his heart
But this one doesn't care he just keeps standin' there
So raise your little hand and wave bye bye to the man
[ steel ] He's the man who stays gone more than he stays at home...

So raise your little hand and wave bye bye to the man
Wave bye bye to the man wave bye bye to the man
Wave bye bye to the man

WORST IS YET TO COME

(Liz Anderson)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Such a little time's passed since you went away
Where are all these heartaches comin' from
I can hardly stand the pain of missing you today
And I know the worst is yet to come

If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me
Then I'd go right out and get me one
I've already cried enough to fill the deep blue sea
And I know the worst is yet to come
[ steel ] There'll be all those sleepless nights when I'll just lay and cry
And the hours will seem to have no end
There'll be days when it won't matter if I live or die
Wishing I could have you back again

If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me...
