I'M A WHITE BOY

(Merle Haggard)
« © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Some folks call me a ramblin' man
I do a lotta thumbin' and a kickin' cans
And it wouldn't do an ounce of good to call my name
cause Daddy's name wadn't Willy Woodrow
And I wadn't born and raised in no ghetto
Just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing

Well I'm out to find me a wealthy woman
And a line of work that don't take no diploma
I ain't got much to lose but a lot to gain
Well some might call me a goodtime fella
I ain't black and I ain't yella
Just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing

Well I don't want no handout livin'
Don't want any part of anything they're givin'
I'm proud and white and I've got a song to sing
Well I said a few things and I'll admit it
If you wanna get ahead you gotta omp and get it
Just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing

Let's home and git it now
[ guitar - fiddle ] I'm a small town boy been around a little
I like guitar and I like fiddle
Now that's the kinda soul it takes to fan my flame
Well I'm a brown eyed Billy kinda frail and ruddy
I'll have to work to be somebody
Just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing

Well I don't want no handout livin'...
Just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing

(Aaron Schroeder - Sid Wayne)
« © '59 Rachel's Own Music, ASCAP / Holly Hill Publishing, ASCAP »
I'm gonna knock on your door yeah ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock'n ring'n tap until you do

I'm gonna knock on your door call out your name
Uh wake up the town you'll see
I'm gonna whoo-hoot and howl like a lovesick owl
Until you say you're gonna come out with me

Hey little girl this ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses stead of count on sheep
How how can I hold you near
With you up there and me down here

I'm gonna knock on your door yeah ring on your bell...
[ steel - fiddle ] I'm gonna knock on your door yeah ring on your bell...
Hey little girl this ain't no time to sleep...
I'm gonna knock on your door yeah ring on your bell...

COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER

(Tommy Boyce - Bobby Hart - Wes Farrell)
« © '65 Morris Music, BMI »
In a little cafe just the other side of the border
She was sittin' there givin' me looks that made my mind bolder
So I started walking her way but she belongs to bad man Jose
And I knew yes I knew I should leave but I heard her say

Come a little bit closer you my kind of man so big and so strong
Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long

So we started to dance in my arms she felt so inviting
Then I just couldn't resist the one a little kiss so exciting
Then I heard the guitar play your say about man Jose is on his way
And I knew yes I knew I should run but I heard her say

Come a little bit closer you my kind of man...

Well the music stopped when I looked the cafe was empty
Then I heard Jose say man you're in trouble of plenty
So I dropped my drink from my hand and through the window I ran
And as I rode away I could hear her say to Jose

Come a little bit closer you my kind of man...
Come a little bit closer you my kind of man...
Come a little bit closer you my kind of man...

YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY THE COVER

(Willie Dixon)
« © '62 Hoochie Coochie Music, BMI »
You can't judge an apple by lookin' at the tree
And you can't judge a honey by lookin' at the bee
You can't judge a daughter by lookin' at her mother
And you can't judge a book by lookin' at it's cover oh yeah alright

Well you can't judge a sugar by lookin' at the cane
You can't judge a woman by lookin' at her man
You can't judge a sister by lookin' at her brother
And you can't judge a book by lookin' at it's cover oh yeah

Oh baby can't you see mmm you misjudged me
Well I look like a farmer but um I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by lookin' at it's cover oh yeah alright

Well you can't judge a fish by lookin' at the pond
You can't judge a right from a lookin' at the wrong
You can't judge a one from lookin' at the other
And you can't judge a book by lookin' at it's cover oh yeah

Oh baby can't you see oh you misjudged me
Well I look like a farmer but um I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by lookin' at it's cover oh yeah alright
Alright that's it real low one time
Ah sock it to me honey yeah

AIN'T NOTHIN' SHAKIN'

(Eddie Fontaine - Cirino Calacrai - Diane Lambert)
« © '66 Arc Music, BMI - John Glusk »
I'm findin' out what love is all about yeah
And ever'day at three3 when school is out
I see my baby I get weak in the knees
Ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the tree
Why must she be such a doggone tease
Ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the tree

Aw she's got a way that makes me act like a fool
She spends my money then she treats me cruel
I'm beggin' for her kisses on my bended knees
Give me some lovin' baby please please please

But I keep tryin' till I make her a mine
Someday the wind will blow the sun will shine
Until that day she'll put my heart at ease
It ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the tree
She locked my heart and threw away the key
Ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the tree yeah
[ guitar - steel ] She's got a way that makes me act like a fool...

But I keep tryin' till I make her a mine
Someday the wind will blow the sun gonna shine
Until that day she'll put my heart at ease
Ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the tree
My daddy told me there'd be times like these
Ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the tree

AFRAID I'LL WANT TO LOVE HER ONE MORE TIME

(David Wilkins)
« © '71 Little David Music, BMI »
Don't let my eyes look upon her body
If I look at her again I'll lose control
I'll be right back in her arms until the morning
Lord the devil's trying hard to win my soul

Lord help me get up and sneak out in the morning
Before this woman opens up her eyes
She might want to kiss and throw her arms around me again
And I'm afraid I'll want to love her one more time

Lord it never crossed my mind we'd go this far
But her beauty and my hunger combined
Made the door open wider to temptation oh Lord
And I'm afraid I'll want to love her one more time

Lord help me get up and sneak out in the morning...
Yes I'm afraid I'll want to love her one more time

WHAT DOES A LOSER SAY

(Ron Chancey)
« © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've been telling everybody that asks me where you've gone
That you've taken only a short trip will be back before very long
They don't doubt me when I tell them cause you've been gone for just one day
What will I tell them when you don't come back what does a loser say

What does a loser say I should know cause I've never won
What does a loser say when losin's all I've ever done

I can't tell them that you've left me that I've lost your love again
They'd just tell me they were sorry seems I'm destined not to win
Sure to face them and admit it it would be the honest way
What can I tell them when you don't come back what does a loser say
What can I tell them when you don't come back what does a loser say

ANOTHER CUP OF MEMORIES

(Dale Morris)
« © '72 Universal Music, ASCAP »
Put one out light one up pour myself another cup
Of the mem'ries that keep me hanging on
I can't help feelin' blue I think of things we used to do
God I hate to spend another night alone

And I'll hear pictures on the wall I'll hear footsteps in the hall
As I stumble through a world that used to be
Put one out light one up pour myself another cup
Another cup of your memory
[ steel ] Neon lights are growin' dim from the dawn that's creepin' in
And it's time to struggle through another day
But I know when I go home and I find myself alone
That I'll go back into the time that got away

And I'll hear pictures on the wall...
Another cup of your memory

DON'T BE ANGRY

(Wade Jackson)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Don't be angry with me darling if I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember that I'm dumb I guess like any foolish man
And my head stays sorta foggy cause you're mine

Well I recall the first time that I flirted with you dear
When I jokingly said come and be my bride
Now the time has turned the pages it's the sweetest joke on earth
That I have you dear forever by my side

Maybe someday you're gonna hurt me I've been hurting of before
Only God can know and time alone will tell
But in the mean time I'll keep loving you with all my heart and soul
And pray God to let it last if it's his will

Don't be angry with me darling...

LIVING EXAMPLE

(Ron Chancey)
« © '72 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Have you ever loved someone who loved you as much
But they stopped and you kept loving them
Have you ever loved someone and thrilled at their touch
Then you learn you won't touch them again

Have you ever missed someone yet tried to forget
All the wonderful moments you've shared
I'm a living example I do all these things
I'm a living example look at me

I'm living example of heartaches
I'm a living example of pain
I'm a livin' example who knows how it feels
To know that I won't love again

Have you ever wished darkness would hurry and come
Hopin' sleep might make you forget
Yet when darkness arrives you can't close your eyes
And you cry till your pillow is wet

Has your heart ever hurt so much that you wish
That you were never alive
I'm a living example I do all these things
A living example look at me
