EASY LOVIN' NO. 2

(Freddie Hart - Sheb Wooley) « © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Easy lovin' so sexy lookin'
They're talkin' about me I guess that it's true
Easy lovin' I have pushed over
My name is Ben Colder and here's the key to my room
I'm a little anxious too

We'll haul a little toddy it'll turn you on a bit
If you want my body what you see is what you'll get
Squeezy lovin' much heavy breathin'
The breathin' and feelin' that's the very best part

When you look me over there's nothin' I ain't got
Come a little closer bless your heart bless your heart

Squeezy lovin' oh just huggin' and squeezin'
This squeezin' is pleasin' and it comes from the heart
Bless your heart

SPLITS (QUITS)

(Bill Anderson - Sheb Wooley) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Thank you Ben it's alright Chip

We could've called in a hangin'
Cause your relatives kept a hangin round the place
We could've called it swingin'
Cause someone was always hittin' someone else in the face
Livin' in our town house that was miles out of town
So we called it the outhouse till the sheriff shut it down
We ran out of anything to drink so I called it splits

Splits splits I called it splits
I know some smart alec will say that splits sounds like quits
But I really cling to this song I can swing to could be a hit
Bill Anderson wrote it then Ben Colder stole it
We called it fifty-fifty splits

It's always been harder to get out of jail than get in
But if you'll go my bail it sure would feel good to be home again
We could've called it endless cause we thought it'd never stop
We could've called you topless cause you always blew your top
They called it drunk and disorderly so I called it splits

Splits splits I called it splits
I called it a rip in my pants from jumpin' that fence
There I was hangin' upside down and swingin' that makes me tense
Then came the cops up now they got me locked up
Wishing I could call it splits
Just cause I was plastered you called me a bleep bleep
Finally I just called it splits
I called it spliths I like that

HOW CAN I UNLOVE YOU NO. 2

(Joe South - Sheb Wooley) « © '72 Lowery Music, BMI / ATV Songs, BMI »
This is the answer to how I can unlove you

First we can un-dance the dance we danced till two
Then I will un-spill the drink I spilled on you
If I can un-hold you close and un-kiss you hoo hoo
Then I can un-love you

If I could un-wreck your car and all the rest
I would even un-buy that pretty pink un-dress
I would have to really make a big un-mess
Then I can un-love you

If you can get me un-tight
Hey that means I'd be sober before the mornin' light
Then we'd start to un-fight
Would thee helpest me fake it through the night

Then we could un-hitch a ride in someone's car
If they promise to stop by my un-favorite bar
Or we could un-spend the night right where we are
And I will un-love you

If you can get me un-tight
Well that means I'd be sober before the mornin' light
Then we start to un-fight
Would thee helpeth me fake it through the night

Perhaps we could grab a plane and un-fly away
And we could un-spend a week in our old hide-away
You make me un-colder baby right away hey hey
I'm goin' to un-love you
I'm really goin' to un-love you
Yes sir I really want to un-love you

COLD COLD HEART NO. 2

(Hank Williams - Sheb Wooley) « © '72 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my everything
Yet everytime I see your face I really get up scheme
You look much better to me dear when we are far apart
Your liver may be warm but you have got a cold cold heart

You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
But you could cry much better if you had done under eye
What love get you and I get blue and it makes my eyes balls smart
I wish that you'd fall off that barstool and break your cold cold heart
I wish that you'd fall off your stool and break your cold cold heart

ROLLIN' IN MY SWEET BABY'S ARMS

(Lester Flatt - Sheb Wooley) « © '50 Peer International, BMI »
Hummmm let me get my pitch
My baby lives in the country and I work on her papa's farm
Everything was alright till he caught me one night
I was rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms I was rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I'll hang around this shed till her old man drops dead
And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

I got nothin' to do when it's rainin' nothin' to do when it storms
But lay around the place with a smile on my face
From rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

(Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms) yeah yeah
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I used to be stout till my back petered out
From rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

My baby ain't no beauty operator she couldn't pass the test
She just lays around this shack and she's flat on her back
Doin' what she does the best

She's overhaulin' the tractor is what she's doin' you know
Upside down puttin' all them nuts and bolts and nuts on it

We gonna set up housekeepin' her papa's gonna give us a start
He'll buy us a cow and an old ... plow
And we'll raise our corn by the quart yeah

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around this shack till my bootlegger comes back
And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I used to be stout till my back petered out
From rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

RUNNIN' BARE (RUNNING BEAR)

(J.P. Richardson - Sheb Wooley) « © '70 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
In the bathtub takin' a shower
It was late I don't know the hour
But I heard a siren way cross the town
Looked at the door my house have burned down

Runnin' bare down the sidewalk
Neighbors seein' what they could see
Runnin' bare down the sidewalk
Hey lady don't look at me me

Went to the river to take me a swim
I hang my clothes upon a limb
Some girls come by you know what they done
They took my clothes and away they run

Runnin' bare down the creek bank
Them girls are playing trick on me
Runnin' bare and tryin' to catch 'em
Gotta get my clothes back don't they see

My girl friend called sais hey come around
Cause my husband he's out of town
Well after awhile he walked in
I said excuse me and I's gone again

Runnin' bare through the bushes
Chargin' bullets from tree to tree
Runnin' bare through the bushes
Runnin' Bare is what they call me

Runnin' bare through the bushes
Oooh they're comin' after me
Runnin' bare through the bushes
Runnin' Bare is what they call me

Runnin' Bare yeah Runnin' Bare
With the rowhide underwear...

SHE'S ALL I GOT NO. 2

(Jerry Bonds - Jerry Williams - Sheb Wooley) « © '72 Embassy Music, BMI / Jerry Williams Music, BMI / Music Force, BMI »
Well I say friend don't take her she's all I got
Please don't take her love cause that ain't right
I'm beggin' you friend don't take her she's all I got
She's goin' to help me fake it through the night

She's my finger when I wanna feel
Auu when she slaps my face I feel it's really real
She's my water when I wanna drink
Water's made the baby and that's what I think

Well I say friend don't take her she's all I got
She ain't much to look at anyway
I'm beggin' you friend don't take her she's all I got
But I may wish you had comes a light of day

She's my filling station when I'm out of gas
She rolled her big brown eyes to me like a dyin' cash
She's got hot lips but there's one thing I know
She can kiss the ground and make no flowers grow

Well I say friend don't take her she's all I got
Please don't take her love cause that ain't right
I'm beggin' you friend don't take her she's all I got
She's gonna help me fake it through the night

Well I say friend don't take her she's all I got
Friend don't take her she's all I got

SING A DRINKIN' SONG

(Sheb Wooley) « © '72 Channel Music, ASCAP »
Is that really the Nirobe Trio uhum

I oughta go back to the shack and hit the sack
Or maybe head for the shed and go to bed
Instead of lightin' up the night and gettin tight
As long as I can find another dime to buy some wine
I feel like helpin' someone have a time
Smile and have a little piece of mind
But she's gonna find I'm not the kind to walk the line
So let's have another drink

Let's sing a drinkin' yodle le la ee song
Let's sing a drinkin' song that's never been sung
It's not my bit to hit the sheet and get some sleep
Or even pout and count a heep of dirty sheep
And put my head beddy bye and high and dry
Why there's smiles Big Ben's runnin' wild
Those mini skirts kind of shirts that they wear
There might be one out for fun son of a gun
And I'll be here standin' near full of cheer
So let's have another drink

Let's sing a drinkin' yodle le la ee song
And let's sing a drinkin' song that's never been sung
Yeah oh let's sing a drinkin' yodle le la ee song
Let's sing a drinkin' song that's never been sung

HELP ME FAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

(Kris Kristofferson - Sheb Wooley) « © '72 Combine Music, BMI »
Take the ribbon from your hair shake it off and let it fall
But it'll get dirty down the floor why don't you hang it on the wall

Come in lay down by my side would you please turn off that light
See I don't care them things just right help me fake it through the night

Lord I hope there's nothing wrong and I'm trying to understand
You say that big devil's comin' home tomorrow well tonight you don't need Ben

Put that ribbon back in your hair and get your body out of my sight
All I'm keepin' is this wine to help me fake it through the night

It's about of your way darlin' yes it soon will be daylight
I guess it's sad to be alone so I'll just fake it through the night
Cause that big devil would break my bones so I'll just fake it through the night
