(Arthur Alexander)
« © '71 Arthur Alexander Music, BMI / Gil Music, BMI »
You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love that's up to her yes and the Lord above
You better move on (you better move on)
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and diamond rings
But I believe she's happy with me without those things
Still you beg me oh to set her free but my friend that'll never be
You better move on
I can't blame you of loving her oh but can't you understand man she's my girl yeah
And I Lord I I'm never gonna let her go Lord I Lord I you know that I love her so
Well I think you'd better go now I'm gettin' mighty mad
You'd ask me to give up the only love I've ever had
Maybe I would oh but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go
You better move on (you better move on) you better move on (you better move on)
Oh you better move on (you better move on) you better move on (you better move on)
You better git on (you better move on) yeah

WHAT HE DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT HIM
(Ron Chancey)
« © '71 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I awoke last night and reached to touch my darling in our bed
But I only found the pillow where she always lays her head
I laid there half asleep wondering why she was not there
Then I heard her talking on upon downstairs
Don't worry bout him what he don't know won't hurt him
Anyway he's upstairs fast asleep
Don't worry bout him what he don't know won't hurt him
But what she don't know it's what I do know that's killing me
I laid in disbelief with teardrops streaming down my cheeks
Then she quietly slipped back into bed and quickly went to sleep
I've never mentioned that to her afraid that she might leave
But those words she said continued to haunt me
Don't worry bout him...

JEANNIE NORMAN
(Dale Morris)
« © '71 Dale Morris Music, BMI »
It's been ten long and lonely years since I've been to my hometown
I saw fame and fortune which I finally found
Everyone at home they know me and say I'm a big man
The hometown boy that made good well he's back home again
But there's a face in my mem'ry that stands out from all the rest
The face of someone special the girl I still love best
I asked about Jeannie mom said she married yesterday
And please don't try to see her son it had to be this way
Then my eyes filled with tears as I turned back the years
To a love I once had she was mine
Jeannie Norman was her name Lord I'd give up all my fame
Just to hold Jeannie close one more time just to hold Jeannie close one more time

FOOL
(Lee Hazlewood - Naomi Ford)
« © '62 Mother Texas Production, ASCAP »
Gather round me buddies hold your glasses high
And drink to a fool this crazy fool who told his baby goodbye
At last he's found that he loves her so much he wants to die
So drink to a fool this crazy fool who told his baby goodbye
He loves her he needs her so and he wonders why he let her go
She's found a new love body he's a lucky guy
So drink to a fool this crazy fool who told his baby goodbye
[ steel ]
He loves her he needs her so...
Who told his baby goodbye who told his baby goodbye
Who told his baby goodbye

Every night I hope in pray a dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so I won't have to dream alone
Dream lover where are you with the love oh so true
And the hands that I can hold to feel you near as I grow old
Because I want a girl...
Some day I don't know how I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way I don't know how she'll bring her love to me
Dream lover until then I'll go to sleep and dream again
Have the only thing to do till all my love dreams come true
Because I want a girl...
[ fiddle - steel ]
Dream lover until then...
Because I want a girl to call my own...

SHE COULD
(Karen Kelly)
« © '71 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
(She could)
If anyone could make me happy she could satisfy me or deny me she could
She could treat me good or bad make me smile or make me sad
Take every bit of love I had she could
If anyone could tie me down oh she could build me up or bring me down she could
She could make me laugh or cry want to live or want to die
And loving her's the reason why she could
The things we do in the name of love I'll never understand
Like the ways of a woman or the weakness of a man
For she can make me laugh or cry make me live or want to die
And loving her's the reason why she could
For she can make me laugh or cry...

TILL MORNING
(Cathy Carroll - Larry Kusik)
« © '71 ASCAP »
Till morning till morning till morning
The beating of two hearts as one will go on and on and on till morning
Love comes in many forms sweet dreams that keep you warm
Such a love I thought I've never seen
But now you're here in the golden places taking love through all with stages
Countin' all the ways that amazes me
Till morning till morning...
[ guitar - fiddle ]
The mirror of your eyes that shine reflectin' love that is yours and mine
Sure as the river whining to the sea I'll be part of you and you'll be part of me
Till morning
Till morning till morning...
Till morning (till morning)

SHE'S MY ANGEL
(Ron Chancey - Jim Sahnger)
« © '71 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I am luckier than most I must agree
I have love to last for all eternity
I'm not rich and not good looking I'm no more depart you see
But a woman loves the thought of loving me
She is my angel and my angel lives for my love
And I'm the love that my angel's thinking of
She's the prayer that was answered by the good Lord up above
She's my angel and my angel lives for my love
[ fiddle ]
She is proud to wear her dimestore wedding band
She's like --- (?)
She is always close beside me and she always understands
The time and way to love her working man
She is my angel...
