ONCE A DAY

(Bill Anderson)
« © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When I found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day
Once a day all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day every day all day long
[ steel ] I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Lucky me I'm only crying once a day

Once a day all day long...
Once a day every day all day long

I FALL TO PIECES

(Harlan Howard - Hank Cochran)
« © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
(You walk by and I fall to pieces)

I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
(You want me to act like we've never kissed)
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
Oh I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
[ steel ] I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces time only adds to the flame
(You want me to find someone else to love)
Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces

YOU AIN'T WOMAN ENOUGH (TO TAKE MY MAN)

(Loretta Lynn)
« © '66 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him oh but I don't think you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

Women like you they're a dime a dozen you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
[ guitar - steel ] Sometimes a man start lookin' at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you oh but he's in love with me
But I don't know where they leave you oh but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man

Women like you...
I said you ain't woman enough to take my man

IT WASN'T GOD WHO MADE HONKY TONK ANGELS

(Jimmy D. Miller)
« © '52 Peer International, BMI »
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing
A song about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are saying
It brings mem'ries when I was a trusting 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 every heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame

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

MAMA SPANK

(Liz Anderson)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
When the big hand is on twelve and the little hand's on six
You come home tonight and no more childish pranks
You come home from work real quick or your mama get a stick
Yes your mama get a stick and mama spank

Every night you don't come home from the way you're out alone
Who would ever think that you're a married man
I would guess your age to be twenty eight going on three
So I'll speak in a language you can understand

When the big hand is on twelve...
[ steel ] Yes I know you like to play but we've got our bills to pay
And the kids need shoes much more than you need fun
Up to now I've been too mild you've been acting like a child
So I'll have to just start treating you like one

When the big hand is on twelve...

DARK MOON

(Ned Miller)
« © '56 Jamie Music, BMI »
Dark moon a way up high up in the sky
Oh tell me why oh tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon why is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because is it because I've lost my love
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love can sometimes bring

Oh dark moon a way up high up in the sky...
Oh dark moon a way up high up in the sky...

HERE COMES MY BABY BACK AGAIN

(Dottie West - Bill West)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
(Here comes my baby back again)

Here comes more tears to cry here comes more heartaches by
Here comes my baby back again
Here comes more misery here comes old memories
Here comes my baby back again

My arms are open wide to let more hurt inside
Here comes my baby back again
He's sorry once again once more I'll understand
Here comes my baby back again
[ steel ] My arms are open wide...
Here comes my baby back again

HARPER VALLEY P.T.A.

(Tom T. Hall)
« © '67 Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I wanna tell you all the story bout the Harper Valley widow wife
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
And she said mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA

Well the note said Mrs Johnson you're wearin' your dresses way too high
And it's reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild
And we don't believe you oughta be a bringin' up your little girl this way
And it was signed by the secretary Harper Valley PTA

Well it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon
And they were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say
She said I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA

Now there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he asked me for a date
And Mrs Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice whenever he's away
And Mr Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't wodow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down

Well Mr Harper couldn't be here cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And when you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well this is just a little Payton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites

No I wouldn't put you on because it really did it happened just this way
The day my mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day my mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA

DON'T TOUCH ME

(Hank Cochran)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me
The look in your eyes pulls me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Don't give me something that you might take away
To have you then lose you wouldn't be smart on my part
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Don't give me something...

YOUR GOOD GIRL'S GONNA GO BAD

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
I've never seen the inside of a barroom
Or listen to the jukebox all night long
But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home

I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em
So if that's the way you've wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
From now on we're gonna see a different me

Because your good girl's a gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingi'est swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up hollered up then you oughta be glad
Cause your good girl's a gonna go bad
[ steel ] I'll even learn to like the taste of whiskey
In fact you'll hardly recognize your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life

Because your good girl's a gonna go bad...
Because your good girl's a gonna go bad

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 horse and ride ride ride

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

If you don't want me baby...

You talked about me honey you tried to tear me down
But while you're throwin' dirt at me you're slowly losin' around

If you don't want me baby...
[ steel ] 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 don't want me baby...
And ride ride ride
