HE'D STILL LOVE ME

(Glenn Sutton - Hugh X. Lewis)
« © '69 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
You're here to tell me just how much he loves you
And he'll do anything you want him to
And you think he'll follow you to the end of the world
But before you pack your bags I'd better warn you girl

Other girls have been in love with him
And the only chance you'll ever have is very slim
And you think your dreams would all come true if he were free
But he's not and if he were he'd still love me

He'd still love me because he remembers the little things I've done
Like ironing shirts and pressing suits when he had only one
And knowing this you're still expecting me to set him free
But I won't and if I did he'd still love me

And knowing this you're still expecting me to set him free
But I won't and if I did he'd still love me

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

HE EVEN WOKE ME UP TO SAY GOODBYE

(Mickey Newbury - Doug Gilmore)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Morning comes and Lord my mind is aching
Sunshine standing quietly at my door
Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking
With my tears it goes tumblin' to the floor

Once again the whole town will be talkin'
Lord I've seen the pity that's in their eyes
They could never understand it's his sorrow not another woman
And no matter what they say I know he tried

Baby's packed ev'rything and he's left me he's left me
And I know he didn't mean to make me cry
It's not his heart Lord it's his mind he didn't mean to be unkind
Why he even woke me up to say goodbye

It's not his heart Lord it's his mind he didn't mean to be unkind
Why he even woke me up to say goodbye goodbye baby

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

WAYS TO LOVE A MAN

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton - Tammy Wynette)
« © '69 Al Gallico Music, BMI / Algee Music, BMI »
There are so many ways to love a man
And so many things to understand
And if there ever comes a time he decides to change his mind
I'll need a way to hold him and I can
If I know all the ways to love a man

But there's so many ways to lose a man
So quickly he can slip through your hands
One little thing goes wrong then all at once he's gone
And I'd have no way to hold him like I planned
It takes more than just one way to love a man

With my hands and my heart anything I can find
My child my home my soul and my mind
I'll know that I can hold him oh yes I can
If I know all the ways to love a man

OKIE FROM MUSKOGEE

(Merle Haggard - Eddie Burris)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take no trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
Cause we like livin' right and being free

We don't make a party out of lovin'
But we like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all

Leather boots are still in style for manly foot wear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee...
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
In Muskogee Oklahoma USA

THEN GO

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you care no more for me if your love is gone
And if your heart is colder than the snow then go
Why do you keep hurting me make the pain go on
You must like to see my teardrops flow
When you're finally through with me and you're satisfied
That you've hurt me ev'ry way you know
And when you think you've broke my heart just so
Then go then go

(Why do you keep hurting me...
