CRY

(Carlene Carter)
« © '80 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
Excuse my stare it's only admiration I cannot hide this infatuation
A young adolescent such an innocent child
You're waiting for to testin' for if the little girl smiled
But all those tears she made you cry cry cry
Let your mama make 'em go bye bye bye
Poor little boy now why why why cry baby cry baby cry cry cry

It's not my concern but my sympathy is yours
And if you're lonely you can sleep on my floor
I'll lend you an ear or an arm and a leg
But strictly plutonic for every topic
Heartache's a scratch but love is an itch
She must've scratched you make you hurt like this
Poor little boy now why why why cry baby cry baby cry cry cry

You can cry sugar you can cry honey
You can cry money but don't you cry tears
Cry me a river or cry me a lake cry like the rain
But don't you ever cry like a train
[ guitar ] Well love is a fall and heartache's a bitch
She must've sent you flyin' over the fence
Poor little boy now why why why cry baby cry baby cry cry cry
Cry honey cry honey cry cry cry baby cry baby cry cry cry
Cry sugar cry honey cry cry cry

(Carlene Carter)
« © '80 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
Oh you sweet Romeo atta way to go won the heart of the hardest to win
Well you know I only do it for fun though you never would've gone
If I hadn't've wanted you to
Now you passionate child what unusual style
Won the heart of the hardest to take
Let me lay down and laugh like a splash in the bath
You must take me for some kind of fool

Whoa-oh it's some kind of madness whoa-oh it's madness
Whoa-oh it's some kind of madness whoa-oh it's madness

It's a chance that you take the mistake that you make
Break the heart of the slow heartbreaker
There'll be lie on your lips but a smile in your kiss
Yeah I feel like there's something I missed

Oh you sweet Romeo bad way to go you got me going I'm going you're gone
Well you know I only did it for fun boy you never would've gone
If I hadn't've wanted you to

Whoa-oh it's some kind of madness whoa-oh it's madness...
[ guitar ] Whoa-oh it's some kind of madness whoa-oh it's madness...
Whoa-oh it's some kind of madness whoa-oh it's madness...

BABY RIDE EASY

[ # 76 country hit ] (Richard Dobson)
« © '76 Unichappell Music, BMI »
[ with Dave Edmunds ]
If I drove a truck and I were a waitress
And I ordered coffee and I poured you some
Then you'd stop by on your way sometime later
And if we arm-wrestled I'd say that you won

Ai-eeee my baby ride easy ride high in the saddle all day
If your lovin' is good and your cookin' ain't greasy
You chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away

If I were a winsome pale senorita
And I a bull-fighter down in the sand
While the band kept on playing that Old Paso Doble
I'd throw you a flower would you take my hand

Ai-eeee my baby ride easy ride high in the saddle all day...

If I ran the country yeah I'd be your first lady
And fix up the white house while you were away
Waiting while I'm passing time with world leaders
And later together alone we might lay

Ai-eeee my baby ride easy ride high in the saddle all day...
Ai-eeee my baby ride easy ride high in the saddle all day...

You chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away
You chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away
We chuck the chuck wagon we chuck the chuck wagon
We chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away

BANDIT OF LOVE

(Carlene Carter)
« © '80 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
He's a heat in the night a dust in the wind
He stacks the deck right to he's sure to win
He's just an illusion a master of confusion
One of those losers that always wins

Don't lay down beside him cause when you reach to find him
He'll be gone the song he was singin'
He's a hell-raisin' angel and a heaven-sent devil
He cannot be trusted with love

He's a song you can't forget once you sing it
Like the money you bet you'll probably regret it
He's an answered prayer a childish dare
And a fool-hearty outlaw who's just passin' through

Don't lay down beside him cause when you reach to find him...

Keeps his hat on his head his hand on his heart
His boots by the bed while he studies his heart
His truth is deceivin' stays for the leavin'
He's a bandit of love a collector of hearts

Don't lay down beside him cause when you reach to find him...
He cannot be trusted with love he cannot be trusted with love

I'M SO COOL

(Carlene Carter)
« © '80 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
I got my feet on the ground and my head in the cloud
Everyone whispers cause I talk too loud
Hangin' out with the girls just ain't my scene
It takes one to know one and girls are mean yeah girls are mean

Let 'em stare I don't care cause I'm exception to the rule
They're only jealous cause I'm so cool

I'm a disco daughter who walks in four-four time
Sippin' co-cola with a twist of lime
Hangin' out with the boys is where it's at
Cause they got the balls and I got the bat yeah I got the bat
[ guitar ] Let 'em stare I don't care
Cause mama didn't raise no fool
They're only jealous cause I'm so cool
They're only jealous cause I'm so cool

They're only jealous cause I'm so cool
They're only jealous cause I'm so cool...

APPALACHIAN EYES

(John McFee - Carlene Carter)
« © '80 Long Tooth Music, BMI / Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
Morning fell like the hair round her sure was soft and shinin'
And the valley was green as the eyes of the man who could not hold her
She was the reason many heart beat blue blue blue

Oh your blue blue blue Appalachian eyes
Oh your blue blue blue Appalachian eyes

I saw her runnin' scared like the look on her face
She lost her shoe never turned to look back I could not help her
She was the reason many heart beat blue blue blue

Oh your blue blue blue Appalachian eyes
Oh your blue blue blue Appalachian eyes

Sure as a bullet she lost her love
Slippin' silently over Clinch Mountain

Oh your blue blue blue Appalachian eyes
Oh your blue blue blue Appalachian eyes
Oh your blue blue blue Appalachian eyes...

RING OF FIRE

(Merle Kilgore - June Carter)
« © '62 Painted Desert Music, BMI »
Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet when hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child oh but the fire went wild

I fell into a burning ring of fire...
[ guitar ] I fell into a burning ring of fire...

Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring...
I fell into a burning ring of fire...

TOO BAD ABOUT SANDY

(Carlene Carter)
« © '80 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
Sandy lost her head to a man with no heart
Lately I know cause I inflicted his scar
I'm not ashamed I was not to blame
It was purely self-defence one shot that sucker down in flame

We love that cold cash love that cold hard cash
Won't mess around with American Express
I'm livin' that low life I love that sweet low life
Glad I'm not mad you know it's just too bad about Sandy

Sandy lost her mind it's a family disease
Every little sister gotta have what she pleases
I don't forbid her but I don't feel nice
Who would've thought that lightnin' could strike this family twice

I love that cold cash love that cold hard cash...

Asked me for advice I said honey can't be love if you've gotta ask twice
Sandy went blind couldn't see what kind of man
Would have her countin' pennies while she's sittin' on the can

They love that cold Cash love that cold hard cash...
[ guitar ] Love that cold cash love that cold hard cash...
They love that cold hard cash love that cold hard cash...

THAT VERY FIRST KISS

(Carlene Carter)
« © '80 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
Passioned way to cheat her
Ain't it funny how it seems just a little bit sweeter
And the truth about a liar he burns the bluest blue in a fire

But any one who loved me wouldn't treat me so unkind now
Don't feel so bad my heart melted long before you burned me

With that very first kiss whoa-oh very first kiss whoa-oh
It's the very first kiss that's hurtin' me now

Call for goodbye spent all my time on borrowed dimes
And God save the queen got a dime could well save me

But any one who loved me wouldn't treat me so unkind now...

With that very first kiss whoa-oh very first kiss whoa-oh...
[ guitar ] Any one who loved me wouldn't treat me so unkind now...

Whoa-oh very first kiss...
Whoa-oh very first kiss...

FOGGY MOUNTAIN TOP

(A.P. Carter)
« © '54 Peer International, BMI »
If I was on some foggy mountain top I'd sail away to the west
I'd sail all around this whole wide world to the boy I love the best

If I had listened to what mama said not have been here today
Wishin' for things that I'll never have weepin' my sweet life away

If I was on some foggy mountain top I'd sail away to the west...
[ steel - guitar ] You caused me to weep you caused me to moan
You caused me to leave my home
Oh that lonesome pine and those good ole times
Have marred my way back home

So when you see that other girl there's something you can tell her
She need not fool her time away trying to steal my feller

If I was on some foggy mountain top I'd sail away to the west...
To the boy I love the best to the boy I love the best

TOO DRUNK (TO REMEMBER)

(Anni O'Brien - Kimberlay Slade)
« © '80 Two Fisted Music, BMI / Thorkus Publishing, BMI / Blonde And Dangerous Music, BMI »
Well I woke up this morning to a telephone call
And that's when I noticed strange shoes in the hall
My head is reelin' you say hi how you feelin'
But I don't recognize you at all

I was too drunk to remember I was too blind to see
I had a helluva time but it just slipped my mind
At least I got home in one piece

Well I look in the mirror filled with disgrace
Mascara runnin' all over my face
How can I endure when it's all just a blur
Things that go bump in the night

I was too drunk to remember I was too blind to see...
[ organ ] Well darlin' you know that I love you if you're sure that's what I said
I mean it's so hard to recognize you you just wearin' that bag on your head
Well my head is reelin' you say hi how you feelin'
But I don't recognize you at all

Cause I was too drunk to remember I was too blind to see...
Said at least I got home in one piece

TOO PROUD

(Carlene Carter)
« © '80 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
Too proud to say we were wrong you let me leave you
You knew that I was gone long before I stopped pretending
The one who chose my love so carefully you should have loved me better
I'm not one to call to blame fools at love they're all the same
Too proud to say they're wrong too proud and then they're gone
[ keyboards ] And who was I to think I'd change at all I've always been alone
And bet I often freedom and not a prisoner to the cause
And all my pain was by my own hands
The one who thought that love could last forever
Guess I should have checked my record
Cause now I see that love is not blind
It just stands frozen watching from behind
Too proud to say I'm wrong too proud and then I'm gone
Too proud to say we're wrong too proud it's all gone
