THREE BELLS
(Bert Reinsford - Jean Villard)
« © '59 Jamie Music, BMI »
There's a village hidden deep in the valley among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a Sunday morning little Jimmy Brown was born
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation bless this hour of meditation guide him with eternal love
There's a village hidden deep in the valley beneath the mountains high above
And there twenty year thereafter Jimmy was to meet his love
All the chapel bells were ringing twas a great day in his life
Cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation bless oh Lord this celebration
May their lives be filled with love
From the village hidden deep in the valley one rainy morning dark and grey
A soul which waited in the heaven Jimmy Brown had passed away
Just the lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
Twas there well it was singing to our good old Jommy Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation may his soul find this salvation of Thy great eternal love

INDIAN LOVE CALL
(Otto Harbach - Oscar Hammerstein - Rudolf Friml)
« © '24 Rambalina Music, ASCAP »
When I'm calling you-oo-oo-oo will you answer too-oo-oo
That means I offer my love to you to be your own
If you refuse me I will be blue and waiting all alone
But if when you hear my love call ringing clear
And I hear your answering echo so clear
Then you will know my love will come true
You'll belong to me I'll belong to you
[ whistle ]
Then you will know my love will come true
You'll belong to me I'll belong to you

ONLY THE LONELY
(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Only the lonely will understand why my head is bowed
And only the lonely will feel the way that I'm feeling now
Only the hearts that have felt the pain of love that has slipped away
Will understand the song I sing and the words I say
Only the hearts that have felt the pain of love that has slipped away
Will understand the song I sing and the words I say (and the words I say)
Only the lonely will understand why my head is bowed
And only the lonely will sing the song that I'm singing now

BLUES STAY AWAY FROM ME
(Alton Delmore - Wayne Raney - Henry Glover)
« © '49 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Blues stay away from me blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why you keep on haunting me
Life is full of misery true love was never meant to be
Time goes by and still I can't be free
[ guitar ]
Tears so many I can't see years don't mean a thing to me
Seems somehow we never can agree
Blues stay away from me blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why you keep on haunting me

WHERE DID THE SUNSHINE GO
(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)
« © '59 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Where did the sunshine go why is it raining so
Where is the love I used to know where did the sunshine go
Where did the sunshine go why do the cold winds blow
Where is the love I needed so where did the sunshine go
I discovered the sunshine in a woman's loving smile
Like a fool I thought the sun had come to stay
Then she fell for another and the sun went out of sight
And the springtime vanished when she went away
Where did the sunshine go...

I STILL DO
(Bob Nolan)
« © '47 Music Of The West, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
And I still do darling many happy years have passed away since you and I
Were tiny little boy and girl playing neath the summer sky
Do you recall the day I was bold enough to say
I love you dear I want you near and I still do
Yes I love the little girl I do
I was tryin' to say that I loved you and I still do
Darling let you mem'ry stray and try to picture you and me
Roaming through the open field and playing in the hollow tree
The rocky hills above I climbed to show my love
For the little girl I loved so well and I still do
Yes I love the little girl...
Darling close your weary eyes and let me take you by the hand
And straight way lead you through the past back to happy childhood land
And there we'll love again the same past we did then
Among the flowers we plant as ours and we still do
Yes I love the little girl...

WE SHOULD BE TOGETHER
(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '59 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
(Why why why can't we be together why why why can't we be together)
We should be together like the rivers that are aiming to the ocean
We should be together like the clouds that are floating in the heaven
Melted together like sand and the sea rocks and the earth and wind and the breeze
Darling everything's together but you and me
(Why why why can't we be together why why why can't we be together)
We should be together like the gold that veins in the mountain
We should be together like the grass that grows in the valley
Melted together like the surf and the sea
And new fallen snow and the leaves from the trees
Darling everything's together but you and me
(Why why why can't we be together tell me why why why can't we be together)
Love is the only thing neath the sun that can make two lovers into one
Darling I'll be waiting until it's done
(Why why why can't we be together why why why can't we be together)

PUT ON AN OLD PAIR OF SHOES
(Billy Hill)
« © '59 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
Put on an old pair of shoes and we'll go walking down the alley
Maybe we'll run into Sally and the crowd we used to know
Put on an old pair of shoes and even though we're close to Peggy
We'll go down and call on Maggie and Joe
We'll always find fair weather when the old gang gets together
We don't care whether we're broke or in the dough
We'll find the dreams left behind in all the old familiar places
As we mend the broken laces of an old pair of shoes
[ guitar ]
We'll always find fair weather...

HI DE ANK TUM
(Hugh Ashley)
« © '59 Budde Songs, BMI »
I'm gathering rainbows and picking up dreams
Got a heart full of heaven and a pocket full of schemes
Hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo
I'm busy as the river flowing down to the sea
Got a sweet sweet baby who's a fool about me
Whenever there's trouble she's a standin' at my side
And when the goin' gets so rough I just flow with the tide
Hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo
[ guitar ]
I'm pickin' up sunshine and handin' up smile
It's a long road to travel but I love every mile
Hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo
I'm busy as the river...
