GOODBYE LITTLE DARLIN' GOODBYE

(Gene Autry - Johnny Marvin)
« © '56 Western Music, ASCAP »
Goodbye little darlin' we're parting
Parting don't always mean goodbye
Although we have to part you're always in my heart
Goodbye little darlin' goodbye

Goodbye little darlin' I'll miss you
Miss you like the stars would miss the sky
I hate to see you go I'm gonna miss you so
Goodbye little darlin' goodbye
[ guitar ] Goodbye little darlin' I love you
I'll love you until the day I die
Will you dream a dream of me wherever you may be
Goodbye little darlin' goodbye

I JUST THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW

(Charlie Rich)
« © '58 Hi-Lo Music, BMI »
I just thought you'd like to know since you've made your plans to go
It's gonna hurt me so to see you go
But I hope you find another love and he'll be good to you
But still and yet I can't forget the things we used to do

I just thought I'd tell you this I've loved you since that first sweet kiss
It's gonna hurt to miss your tender kiss
But I hope you get to do the things you say you wanna do
But still and yet I can't forget the happiness we knew
[ piano ] I just thought you'd like to know how much you've hurt my pride
I just thought you'd like to know how much my heart has cried over you
But darlin' you could never see the misery you've caused for me
So I will tell you so cause I just thought that you'd like to know

YOU TELL ME

(Sam Phillips)
« © '58 Hi-Lo Music, BMI »
Tell me why she left me I'll tell you why I cry
Tell you why I stayed around tell me why she lied
I'll tell why my heart's broken tell me why she said goodbye
Tell me why she left me I'll tell you why I cry
You tell me then I'll tell you
I'll tell you why I love her tell me why she said goodbye
Tell me why she left me I'll tell you why I cry
[ guitar ] Tell me why I'm lonely I'll tell you why I'm alone
Tell you why I stayed around tell me why she's gone
I'll tell why my heart's broken tell me why she was untrue
Tell me why she left me and I'll tell you why I'm blue
You tell me then I'll tell you

JUST ABOUT TIME

(Johnny Cash)
« © '58 House Of Cash, BMI »
(Havin' a hard time I'm feelin' blue tryin' to get over you)
Maybe it's just about time I told you I'm all through with you
But just about the time I start to tell you I start feelin' blue
And just about then I lose my nerve and wait another day or two
Cause just about the time I think it's over I start missin' you
(Hardest thing I'll ever do tryin' to get over you)
It's just about time I had my say and told you a thing or two
It's just about time I paid you back for treatin' me like you do
But just about the time I get the nerve I can't seem to carry through
Cause just about then an empty feelin' reminds me I miss you
(Like to find somebody new if I could just get you)
[ guitar ] (Just don't know what I go through tryin' to get over you)
It's just about time I let you know I've had my fill of you
But just about the time I think about goin' I start missin' you
I'd like to go find another love that'll never be untrue
But just about the time I think about leavin' I start missin' you
(Havin' a hard time feelin' blue tryin' to get over you)

I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET

(Stan Kesler - Charlie Feathers)
« © '58 Edward B Marks Music, BMI »
I forgot to remember to forget her
I can't seem to get her off my mind
I thought I'd never miss her but I found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time

The day she went away I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we'd ever met
But somethin' sure is wrong cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget
[ piano ] The day she went away I made myself a promise...

KATY TOO

(Johnny Cash - Jack Clement)
« © '58 House Of Cash, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I'm not the goin' steady kind I miss 'em all all the time
I told Annie I'll be true but I still think about Katy too
Katy too Katy too I still think about Katy too
If you should see Miss Mary Ann just tell her I'm her lovin' man
Give my love to Jane and Sue but don't forget ol' Katy too
Katy too Katy too don't forget ol' Katy too
[ guitar ] I like Sadie's chicken stew and Susie's good at pitchin' woo
I like Mary's barbeque but I still like ol' Katy too
Katy too Katy too I still like ol' Katy too
Now girls I'm not the flirty kind but I just can't make up my mind
I like to marry all of you but I still miss ol' Katy too
Katy too Katy too I still miss ol' Katy too
[ guitar ] To all the girls I make this toast I love you ev'ryone the most
But don't ask me to say I do cause I still miss ol' Katy too
Katy too Katy too I still miss ol' Katy too
Cupid you've been good to me I've got more girls than I can see
But if you give me all but two then let's squeeze in ol' Katy too
Katy too Katy too let's squeeze in ol' Katy too

THANKS A LOT

(Charlie Rich)
« © '58 Hi-Lo Music, BMI »
You're tellin' ev'ryone in town that I don't treat you right
You even say I stay away and don't come home at night
I'm losin' you and you are all I've got
Thanks a lot thanks a lot

It seems you like to hurt me and you know I'm good to you
I'd give you anything I own do anything you want me to
Yeah now you've really got me on the spot
Thanks a lot thanks a lot

Still I would forgive you if you'd let me
I'd be glad if we could try again
But it seems that you're just out to get me
And it looks as if you're just about to win

No matter what you do I always will love you
And you will never know how it hurts to see you go
And for callin' me those things you know I'm not
Thanks a lot thanks a lot
[ guitar - piano ] No matter what you do I always will love you
And you will never know how it hurts to see you go
You say I'm happy but you know I'm not
Thanks a lot thanks a lot thanks a lot

LUTHER'S PLAYED THE BOOGIE

(Johnny Cash)
« © '55 House Of Cash, BMI »
We were just a plain ol' hillbilly band with a plain ol' country style
We never played the kind of songs that'd drive anybody wild
Played a railroad song with a stompin' beat
We played a blues song kinda slow and sweet
But the thing that knocked 'em off of their feet was oo-wee

When Luther's played the boogie woogie Luther's played the boogie woogie
Luther's played the boogie Luther's played the boogie woogie
Luther's played the boogie Luther's played the boogie woogie
Luther played the boogie Luther's played the boogie in the strangest kind of way
(Play it strange)
[ guitar ] Well we did our best to entertain ev'rywhere we'd go
We'd nearly wear our fingers off just to give the folks a show
Played jumpin' jive to make 'em get in the groove
We played the sad songs real slow and smooth
But the only thing that'd make 'em move was oo-wee

When Luther's played the boogie...
[ guitar ] (Now didn't Luther play the boogie strange)

YOU WIN AGAIN

(Hank Williams)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
The news is out all over town
That you've been seen out runnin' round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go you win again

This heart of mine could never see
What ev'rybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do you win again
[ guitar ] I'm sorry for your victim now
Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say you win again

You have no heart you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still you win again

HEY GOOD LOOKIN'

(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
Hey hey sweet baby don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recepie

I got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
If you wanna have fun come along with me
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
[ guitar ] I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about savin' all your time for me
No more lookin' I know I've been tooken
How's about keepin' steady company

I'm gonna throw my datebook over the fence
Find me one for five or ten cents
Keep it till it's covered with age
Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page
Say hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me

I COULD NEVER BE ASHAMED OF YOU

(Hank Williams)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Ev'rybody says you let me down
I should be ashamed to take you round
Makes no difference what you used to do
darlin' I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you were reckless yesterday
but together we can find a brighter way
In my heart I know that you'll come through
darlin' I could never be ashamed of you
[ guitar ] All the happiness I've ever known
came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through
darlin' I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you've been cheated in the past
and perhaps those memories will always last
Even though you prove to be untrue
darlin' I could never be ashamed of you

GET RHYTHM

(Johnny Cash)
« © '56 House Of Cash, BMI »
Hey get rhythm when you get the blues
C'mon get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

A little shoeshine boy he never gets lowdown
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low at the people's feet
On a windy corner of a dirty street
Well I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keep from gettin' the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head
He popped his shoeshine rag and then he said

Get rhythm when you get the blues
C'mon get rhythm when you get the blues
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues
[ guitar ] Get rhythm when you get the blues...

Well I sat and I listened to the sunshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump with joy
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took his shoeshine rag and he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you're mighty little boy to be a workin' that way
He said I like it with a big wide grin
Kept on a poppin' and he'd say it again

Get rhythm when you get the blues
C'mon get rhythm when you get the blues
It only cost a dime just a nickel a shoe
It does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get rhythm when you get the blues
