I WISH I WAS A SINGLE GIRL AGAIN
(Harlan Howard)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
When I was single I always dressed so fine
Now that I'm married I go ragged all the time
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh I wish I was a single girl again
When I was single I ate ice cream and pie
Now that I'm married it's cornbread or die
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh I wish I was a single girl again
When I was single marryin' I did crave
Now that I'm married I'm worse than a slave
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh I wish I was a single girl again
Big old no good old husband layin' there in bed
So tired and lazy can't lift up his head
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh I wish I was a single girl again
Lay in bed and jump a mile at the slightest noise
Big protectin' husband out with the boys
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh I wish I was a single girl again
Clean the house and wash the clothes then it's time to cook
Big old lazy husband readin' funny books
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh I wish I was a single girl again
I wish I was a single girl again
Oh I wish I was a single girl again

HOW'S THE WORLD TREATING YOU
(Boudleaux Bryant - Chet Atkins)
« © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(How's the world treating you)
I've had nothing but sorrow since you said we were through
There's no hope for tomorrow how's the world treating you
Every sweet thing that mattered has been broken in two
All my dreams have been shattered how's the world treating you
Got no plans for next Sunday got no plans for today
Everyday is blue Monday every day you're away
Though our pathways have parted to your mem'ry I'm true
Guess I'll stay broken hearted how's the world treating you
Do you wonder about me like I'm hoping you do
Are you lonesome without me have you found someone new
Are you burning and yearning do you ever get blue
Do you think of reurning how's the world treating you
How's the world treating you

ONCE A DAY
(Bill Anderson)
« © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
(Once a day every day all day long)
Whenyou 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
Up to 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
[ strings ]
I'm so glad I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
Shee 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

TOGETHER AGAIN
(Buck Owens)
« © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Together again all my tears can't stop falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters we're together again
[ piano ]
(And nothing else matters we're together again)
Together again the grey skies are gone
I'm back in your arms right now where you belong
The key to my heart you hold in your handa
And nothing else matters we're together again
And nothing else matters we're together again

OH LONESOME ME
(Don Gibson)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Everybody's going out having fun
I'm just a fool to stay at home having none
I can't get over how he set set me free oh lonesome me
Well a bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun paint the town
Well a lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me
I'll bet he's not like me he's out and fancy free
Just flirtin' with the girls with all of his charms
But I still love him so and baby don't you know
I'd welcome him right back here in my arms
There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me
I'll bet he's not like me...
Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me

KEEP IT A SECRET
(Jessie Mae Robinson)
« © '52 Gladys Music, ASCAP »
If you see my darling with somebody new
Keep it a secret whatever you do
Why should you tell me and break my poor heart
Then foolish pride would just keep us apart
If you see my darling in some randezvous
Painting the town with a girl he once knew
Pay no attention and just let it be
But keep it a secret from me
If you see my darling in some randezvous...

I'M GONNA CHANGE EVERYTHING
(Alex Zanetis)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah
I'm gonna start with the hall take the pictures off the wall and burn 'em
Move the chairs around take the window curtains down and burn 'em
Everything I see reminds me you were here
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah
The candle of your set you gave me on the night of my birthday
The records that you bought the hi-fi we loved to play
The decoratin' man will come and rearrange them
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah
[ strings ]
Everything I see reminds me you were here
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you (oh yeah)
Take the carpet off the floor throw it out the door it's filled with tears
Everything I find that bring you to my mind must disappear
Every night I dream I'll dream of someone new
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah

LONELY STREET
(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson - Kenny Sowder)
« © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Where's this place called Lonely Street)
I'm looking for that Lonely Street I've got a sad sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep where's this place called Lonely Street
A place where there's just loneliness where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet where's this place called Lonely Street
Perhaps upon that Lonely Street there is some fool such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams and watch an old love die
If I could find that Lonely Street where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet where's this place called Lonely Street
Where's this place called Lonely Street

INVISIBLE TEARS
(Ned Miller - Sue Miller)
« © '64 Central Songs, BMI »
Invisible tears in my eyes incredible pain in my heart
Indestructable memories are passing in review
Impossible though things may get improbable I will forget
Indelible memories of sweet loveable you
You're back again so I'll let you in
Altough I'm only seein' pictures from the past
Those arms are not real but somehow I feel
If I'd just close my eyes then maybe it will last
Invisible tears in my eyes...
Indelible memories of sweet loveable you
Indelible memories of sweet loveable you

LET IT BE ME
(Mike Curtis - Pierre Delanoe - Gilbert Becaud)
« © '57 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
I bless the day I found you I want to stay around you
And so I beg you let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one if you must cling to someone
Now and forever let it be me
Each time we meet love I find complete love
Without your sweet sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
[ strings - piano ]
(Let it be me)
Each time we meet love...
Let it be me

IT KEEPS RIGHT ON A HURTIN'
(Johnny Tillotson)
« © '61 Ridge Music, BMI »
(It keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone)
I cry myself to sleep each night wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
The pillow where you lay your head now holds my lonely tears instead
It keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone
It keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone
I said that I whould never cry but when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
You broke my heart and set me free but you forgot your memory
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone
It keeps right on a hurtin'...

YOU DON'T KNOW ME
(Cindy Walker - Eddy Arnold)
« © '55 Unichappell Music, BMI »
You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell you think you know me well but you don't know me
No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been but you don't know me
For I never knew the art of making love though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by the chance you might have loved me too
You give your hand to me then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside and I wanna cry
You'll never never know the one who loves you so no you don't know me
No you don't know me
