HEARTACHES

[ # 73 pop hit ] (Al Hoffman - John Klenner)
« © '56 Universal MCA Music, ASCAP »
Heartaches heartaches
My loving you meant only heartaches
Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me
I can't believe it's just a burning memory

Heartaches heartaches
What does it matter how my heart breaks
I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches for you

Heartaches heartaches...

Heartaches heartaches
What does it matter how my heart breaks
I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches and my heart breaks
And my heart aches for you

Heartaches heartaches
What does it matter how my heart breaks
I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches and my heart breaks
And my heart aches for you

SHE'S GOT YOU

[ # 1 country hit ] (Hank Cochran) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've got your picture that you gave to me
And it's signed With Love just like it used to be
The only thing diff'rent the only thing new
I've got your picture she's got you

I've got the records that we used to share
And they still sound the same as when you were here
The only thing diff'rent the only thing new
I've got the records she's got you

I've got your memory or has it got me
I really don't know but I know it won't let me be

I've got your class ring that proved you'd care
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing diff'rent the only thing new
I've got these little things she's got you

I've got your memory or has it got me
I really don't know but I know it won't let me be

I've got your class ring that proved you'd care...

WALKING AFTER MIDNIGHT

[ # 2 country hit ] (Don Hecht - Alan Block) « © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you

I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of sayin' I love you
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just hopin' you may be
Somewhere a walkin' after midnight searchin' for me

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on his pillow...
I go out walkin' after midnight...

STRANGE

(Mel Tillis - Fred Burch)
« © '61 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Strange how you'd stop loving me
How you'd stop needing me
When she came along oh how strange
Strange you've changed like night and day
Just upped and walked away
When she came along oh how strange

Well I guess that I was just your puppet
You held on a string
To think I thought you really loved me
But look what thoughts can bring
Strange you're still in all my dreams
Oh what a funny thing
I still care for you oh how strange

Well I guess that I was just your puppet...
How strange how strange how strange

LEAVIN' ON YOUR MIND

[ # 8 country hit ] (Wayne P. Walker - Webb Pierce)
« © '62 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
If you've got leavin' on your mind
Tell me now get it over
Hurt me now get it over
If you've got leavin' on your mind

If there's a new love in your heart
Tell me now get it over
Hurt me now get it over
If there's a new love in your heart

Don't leave me here
In a world filled with dreams that might have been
Hurt me now get it over
I may learn to love again

If there's a new love in your heart...

Hurt me now get it over
If there's a new love in your hear

SOUTH OF THE BORDER (DOWN MEXICO WAY)

(Michael Carr - Jimmy Kennedy) « © '39 Colgems Music, ASCAP / Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
(Ay-ay-ay-ay ay-ay-ay-ay)

South of the border down Mexico way
That's where they fell in love when stars above came out to lay
And now as they wander their thoughts ever stray
South of the border down Mexico way

She was a picture in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while he kissed the smile upon her face
For it was fiesta and they were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered manana
Never dreaming that they were parting
And he lied as he whispered manana
For that tomorrow never came

South of the border he rode back one day
There in a veil of white by candlelight she knelt to pray
The mission bells told him that he mustn't stay
South of the border down Mexico way

Ay-ay-ay-ay ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay-ay-ay-ay ay-ay-ay-ay

FOOLIN' AROUND

(Harlan Howard - Buck Owens) « © '61 Central Songs, BMI »
I know that you've been foolin' round on me right from the start
So I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' round with 2-0-3
Just come on home and fool around with me

Well I wasn't foolin' round the day I said I'd do
But many a night I wished that I'd've been foolin' too
I know it's foolish takin' all this misery
But when it's you a fool I'll always be

I know that you've been foolin' round on me right from the start...

So honey fool around you'll know right where I'm at
And don't worry if I'm lonesome cause I'm used to that
And when you're tired of foolin' round with 2-0-3
Then come on home and fool around with me

I know that you've been foolin' round on me right from the start...

Please come on home with me
I'm waiting for you you see

I FALL TO PIECES

[ # 1 country hit ] (Harlan Howard - Hank Cochran) « © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend

You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
[ guitar ] I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces time only adds to the flame

You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces

POOR MAN'S ROSES (OR A RICH MAN'S GOLD)

[ # 14 country hit ] (Bob Hillard - Milton Delugg) « © '56 Amy Dee Music, ASCAP / Better Half Music, ASCAP »
I must make up my mind today
What to have what to hold
A poor man's roses
Or a rich man's gold

One's as wealthy as a king in a palace
Though he's calice and cold
He may learn to give his heart for love
Instead of buyin' it with gold

And then the poor man's roses
Or the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss

And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold
For the rose of love means more to me
More than any rich man's gold

And then the poor man's roses...
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight...

TRA LE LA LE LA TRIANGLE

(Marijohn Wilkin - Fred Burch)
« © '62 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I've got my life in such a mess and I don't know what to do
How can I live in this ol' world and be in love with two
If I said goodbye to my first true love my heart would break in two
For I'm halfway still in love with him and half in love with you

Tra le la la triangle tra le la la triangle
Tra le la la triangle triangle my life's in such a tangle
Tra le la la triangle tra le la la triangle
Tra le la la triangle triangle what'll I do about you

I saw you at the movie show just the other day
But I was with my other love so I looked the other way
I didn't want to hurt him couldn't bear for him to see
The way that I would look at you and the way you look at me

Tra le la la triangle tra le la la triangle...
Tra le la la triangle tra le la la triangle...

What'll I do about you what'll I do about you
What'll I do about you what'll I do about you
What'll I do about you what'll I do about you

TRUE LOVE

(Cole Porter) « © '56 Chappell Co, ASCAP »
While I give to you and you give to me
True love true love
So on and on it will always be
True love true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
[ strings ] But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
Love forever true

IMAGINE THAT

[ # 21 country hit ] (Justin Tubb)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Imagine me still lovin' you
After all you've put me through
Well I can't help it I just do
Imagine that and that's not the half

Imagine this if you can
I've stood more more than I should stand
But I'd still take you back again
Imagine that ain't that a laugh

Can you believe I'd swallow my pride
Well yes yes I guess you can
Cause you know you've always had my foolish heart
Right in the palm of your hand

So for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
Cause I'm still waitin' and lovin' you
Imagine that ain't that a laugh

So for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
Cause I'm still waitin' and lovin' you
Imagine that ha ha ain't that a laugh

BACK IN BABY'S ARMS

(Bob Montgomery - Allen Toussaint)
« © '62 Songs Of The Knoll, BMI / Talmont Music, BMI /
Screen Gems Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
I'm back in baby's arms
How I've missed those lovin' arms
I'm back where I belong
Back in baby's arms

Don't know why we quarrel
Ee never did before
Since we found out how it hurts
I bet we never quarrel anymore

I'm back in baby's arms...

Thought I didn't need his love
Till he took it away
Now I'm back where I belong
And in my baby's arms I'm gonna stay

I'm back in baby's arms...

Back in baby's arms
Back in baby's arms

CRAZY

[ # 2 country hit ] (Willie Nelson) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Crazy I'm crazy crazy for feelin' so lonely
I'm crazy crazy for feelin' so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry why do I let myself worry
Wond'rin' what in the world did I do
Oh crazy for thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you

Oh crazy for thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you

YOU'RE STRONGER THAN ME

(Hank Cochran - Jimmy Key)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
If you are sincere when you say you don't care
That our love is just a memory
If the love that we knew won't bother you
Darling you're stronger than me

For if still loving you means I'm weak then I'm weak
For I still fall apart when we speak or we meet
If the love that we knew won't bother you
Darling you're stronger than me
[ guitar ] If you can have fun with some other one
With no thoughts of what used to be
If it's easy to say that it's better this way
Darling you're stronger than me

For if still loving you means I'm weak...

SEVEN LONELY DAYS

(Earl Shuman - Alden Shuman - Marhall Brown) « © '53 Music Sales, ASCAP »
Seven lonely days make one lonely week
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were through
Seven lonely days I've cried and cried for you

Oh my darlin' you're cryin' hoo hoo hoo hoo
There's no use in denyin' I've cried for you
It was your favorite past time makin' me blue
Last week was the last time I cried for you

Seven hankies blue I filled with my tears
Seven letters too I filled with my fears
Guess it never pays to make your lover blue
Seven lonely days I've cried and cried for you

Oh my darlin' you're cryin' hoo hoo hoo hoo...
Last week was the last time I cried for you

SWEET DREAMS

[ # 5 country hit ] (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 I'll never wear your name
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

YOUR CHEATING HEART

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Your cheating heart will make you weep
You'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through
Your cheating heart will tell on you

When tears come down like fallin' rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheating heart will tell on you

When tears come down like fallin' rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You're gonna walk the floor the very way I do
Your cheating heart is gonna tell on you

SAN ANTONIO ROSE

(Bob Wills) « © '40 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I lived with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone

Well it was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
All that moonlit pass that only he would know
Still hears my broken song of love

Moon and all your splendor knows only to my heart
Call back my Rose Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love my own

Broken song empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And rose my Rose of San Antone
[ strings ] Broken song empty words I know...

And rose my Rose of San Antone
And rose my Rose of San Antone

WHY CAN'T HE BE YOU

(Hank Cochran)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
He takes me to the places you and I used to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that I never got from you
He loves me too his love is true
Why can't he be you

He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
And I'm lucky to have such a guy I hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too his love is true
Why can't he be you

He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul
And I should love him so cause he loves me I know
But his kises leave me cold

He sends me flowers calls on the hour just to prove his love
And my friends say when he's around I'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too his love is true
Why can't he be you

WAYWARD WIND

(Herb Newman - Stan Lebowski) « © '55 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

In a lonely shack by a railroad track
He spent his younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made him a slave to his wand'ring ways

Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind...

Oh I met him there in a border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
Now I'm alone with a broken heart

Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind...
The next of kin to the wayward wind

SO WRONG

[ # 14 country hit ] (Mel Tillis - Danny Dill - Carl Perkins)
« © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I've been so wrong for so long
Thought I could live without the love that you give
I was wrong oh so wrong
I have been so wrong for so long
I didn't know that I loved you so I was wrong

Well I never knew I could want you darlin' oh so much
Now that you're gone I dream of you and your sweet touch
I was so wrong for so long
But I've seen the light and darlin' I'll make it right I was wrong

Well I never knew I could want you darling oh so much...

(Floyd Tillman)
« © '56 Peer International, BMI »
I love you so much it hurts me
Darling that's why I'm so blue
I'm so afraid to go to bed at night
Afraid of losing you

I love you so much it hurts me
And there's nothing I can do
I want to hold you my dear forever and ever
I love you so much it hurts me so

I love you so much it hurts me...

YOU BELONG TO ME

(Pee Wee King - Redd Stewart - Chilton Price)
« © '52 Ridgeway Music, BMI »
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me

See the market place in old Algirs
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

I'm gonna be so alone without you
And I'm hoping maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue

Fly that ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
