Y'ALL COME

(Arlie Duff) « © '54 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Y'all come y'all come
Oh y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come y'all come
(Oh y'all come on over to see us now and then)

The kinfolks're comin' comin' by the dozen
Eatin' everything from soup to hay
And right after dinner they ain't looking any thinner
And here's what you'll hear them say

Y'all come y'all come...

(When you live in the country everybody is your neighbor
On this one thing you can rely
They'll all come to see you and never never leave you
Saying y'all come to see us by and by)

Y'all come y'all come...
[ harmonica - steel ] Y'all come y'all come...
Yeah y'all come on over to see us now and then

FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING

(Jerry Crutchfield) « © '64 Glitterfish Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Baby you know me well you know I mean what I say
Before I say farewell I'll give you just one more day

So you can find out what's happening
Find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening
You're gonna find out that I'm gone

Tell me what you're gonna do you better make up your mind
It all depends on you or I'm leaving you behind

You'd better find out what's happening...
[ guitar ] Baby you know it's true we've been through thick and thin
But if you don't come through you won't ever see me again

You'd better find out what's happening
Find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening
You're gonna find your daddy gone
Find out what's happening find out what's happening
Find out what's happening

LOVE'S GONNA LIVE HERE

(Buck Owens) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
(Love's gonna live here love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness only happiness love's gonna live here again)

Oh the sun is gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
And things are gonna be just the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again

(Love's gonna live here...
[ harmonica - steel ] Oh I hear bells a ringin' I hear birds a singin'
Love's gonna live here again
And I hear bees a hummin' and I know the days're comin'
Love's gonna live here again

(Love's gonna live here...

I LOVE YOU DROPS

(Bill Anderson) « © '66 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
(I love you drops I miss you drops
Hurry home drops you've been gone too long drops
They're not teardrops just sincere drops
That say I'm lonesome and I love you)

They were on my pillow when I woke up this morning
They were on the letter I tried all day to write
And just a little while ago I saw them falling
On your picture as I kissed it goodnight

(I love you drops...
[ guitar ] Never knew this heart could hurt the way it hurts for you
Never lived so many lifetimes in one week
Why don't you come back to me the way you said you would
And kiss these little crystals off my cheek

(I love you drops...
They say I'm lonesome and I love you

I WASHED MY FACE IN THE MORNING DEW

(Tom T. Hall) « © '67 Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
The first strange town I was ever in the county was hanging a man
Nobody cared if he lived or died and I just didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew bathed my soul in the sun
Washed my face in the morning dew and kept on moving along

The second strange town that I was in they were laughin' at a poor crippled man
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street and I just didn't understand

So I washed my face in the morning dew...
[ ac.guitar ] The third strange town that I was in was settled peaceful and nice
The rich got richer and the poor got poorer and to me it didn't seem right

So I washed my face in the morning dew...

Someday times are bound to change it can't be very far
And each injustice I have seen will come before the bar
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew bathe my soul in the sun
Wash my face in the morning dew and my journey will be done

GOIN' HOME

(Bobby Bare) « © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
(I'm goin' home I've been gone so doggone long
Now at last the rambling fever's gone
I'm goin' home I know that mama'll cry with joy
To see her wanderin' boy I'm goin' home

I'm goin' home I've lived in certain happiness
I hadn't met with very much success
I'm goin' home I got holes in both my shoes
And a bad case of blues I'm goin' home

I'm goin' home comin' walkin' ridin' when I can
I said I'd be a wealthy man the things don't work out always like you plan
I'm goin' home then maybe back there with my friends
I'll lose this bitterness that burns within

I'm goin' home I got holes in both my shoes
And a bad case of blues I'm goin' home)

GREAT SNOWMAN

(John D. Loudermilk) « © '61 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I remember the day when the snow melted away
And the great snowman was wed
He said yes I do and little Linda said it too
And the great snowman was wed

Well Jimmy Jones was the snowman's name
He put all the other local lovers to shame
He had good looks and a real fine car
Went around breaking all the pretty girls' hearts
Until one day the great snowman found
Linda Lou started melting him down
He bought the ring and they named the day
And the great snowman started melting away

I remember the day...

Now the great snowman and his loving spouse
Live in a little subdivision house
They've got six kids and a mother in law
Another kiddie comin' in the fall
His old Cadillac needs the paint retouched
It's full of baby diapers and bottles and such
The great snowman he has outgrown
All his fancy cuddy clothes

I remember the day...
And the great snowman was wed

BLUE IS MY LONELY ROOM

(Bobby Bare) « © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
(I sit here and look at you lonely room it's sad for lovers change their ways
Just like me you miss the love we once knew she's left me in the world of blue

Lonely room of too many mem'ries lonely room reminds me that she's gone
Blue is my lonely room
[ guitar ] Lonely room of too many mem'ries...

It's hard to believe that she's really gone I'm hoping and dreaming too
It seems such a shame that she's gone from me cause my love for her is still true

Lonely room of too many mem'ries...)

RELEASE ME (AND LET ME LOVE AGAIN)

(Eddie Miller - W.S. Stevenson - Robert Yount - Dub Williams) « © '54 Roschelle Publishing, BMI »
(Please release me let me go I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin release and let me love again)

I have found a new love dear and I'll always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold oh release me darling let me go

(Please release me let me go...)
Please release me let me go...
(Release and let me love again)

SWEET DREAMS

(Don Gibson) « © '55 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Sweet dreams of you every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you)

You don't love me it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
[ guitar ] Sweet dreams of you dreams I know can't come true
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

SIX DAYS ON THE ROAD

(Earl Green - Carl Montgomery) « © '58 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Seaboard
I got my diesel wound up she's a goin' like never before
There's a speed zone ahead alright I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

I got me ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes're open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white well I been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

It seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like some of the guys
I could find one to hold me tight I can never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
[ harmonica ] Well the ICC is a checkin' on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
But nothin' bothers me tonight I can dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Well my rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from my stack and the smoke's blowin' black as coal
Well my hometown's a comin' in sight if you think I'm happy you're right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
