GALVESTON
(Jim Webb)
« © '69 Jobete Music, ASCAP »
Galveston oh Galveston I still hear your sea winds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing she was twenty one when I left Galveston
Galveston oh Galveston I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water standing there looking out to the sea
And is she waiting there for me on the beach where we used to run
Galveston oh Galveston I am so afraid of dying before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun at Galveston at Galveston

TAKE MY HAND FOR AWHILE
(Buffy Sainte Marie)
« © '68 Gypsy Boy Music, ASCAP »
Take my hand for awhile explain it to be once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart
Look into my eyes and maybe I will understand
Our love I counted on was never there
You see I've thought that you might love me
So you caught me it seems off valums with the heart so full
Of love and pretty dreams that two should share
[ guitar + strings ]
And so I know but please before you go
Take my hand for awhile explain it to be once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart

TODAY
(Mark Hollis - Simon Brenner)
« © '69 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover you'll know who I am by the song that I sing
I'll ease at your table and I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberrys and I'll drink your sweet wine
And a million tomorrows shall all pass away here I forget all the joy that is mine today
I can't be contented withg yeasterday's glory
I can't live on promissess winter just brings
Today is my moment and right now is my story while I laught and I cry and I sing
Today while the blossoms...

GOT TO HAVE TENDERNESS
(Mitchell Torok - Ramona Redd)
« © '69 Glen Campbell Music, BMI / Songs Of Windswept Pacific, BMI »
The sun comes up in the morning over the Neighboring Hill
Breeze sings the sing in the treetop in tune with Mr Whippoorwill
Got to have tenderness got to have tenderness we got to have love
Little white clouds are hurryin' somewhere along their way
Across the highways of blue skies they softly seem to say
Got to have tenderness got to have tenderness we got to have love
Everybody worries bout the place in the sun but nobody wirries bout love
But place in the sun won't be any fun well it's love the world needs much more of
Now the rain id falling out over the Neighboring Hill
Singing love song to each road in tune with Mr Whippoorwill
Got to have tenderness got to have tenderness we've got to have love
Yes we got to have tenderness oh got to have tenderness and we got to have love

FRIENDS
(Glen Campbell - Dick Bowman)
« © '69 Glen Campbell Music, BMI / Songs Of Windswept Pacific, BMI »
Friends are never earned they're a gift from the loving God
And they're precious beyond human evaluation
But you dare not take them for granted or they'll lift away like a smoke
And the warmth of their caring will vanish into the chill of the endless nights
Most of my friends are unknowns they probably won't even rate an obituary
Unless they live and die in a small town
Somewhere where nothing much ever happens
But a few of my friends are big people
They'd made the word ring with laughter down to this string of court
They're famous sensitive talented and their names are household words
And yet they're no more precious in God's eyes or in mine
Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in small towns
Who is your friend he's someone who warms you with a nod
Or with an unspoken word in hard times when you're hurting beyond words
Who is your friend he's someone who holds you to her breast
And sighs softly into your hair when no other medicine could possibly stop the pain
A friend is someone who clings his glass against yours
Or answers the phone at three in the morning when you're lost
And with a few words of encouragement and concern
Makes you realize that you're not really lost at all
Friends come in both sexes in all shapes and sizes
The most imprtant thing they have in common is their ability
To share with you your most sky splitting joys
Or your deepest most spelling ol' some sorrows for they're all your friends

WHERE'S THE PLAYGROUND SUSIE
(Jim Webb)
« © '68 Jobete Music, ASCAP »
The end has come and found us here with our toys scattered all around us here
The puzzle that we never found an answer for
Still asks us darlin' just what all the games were for
And here we stand in a box of sands
Where's the playground Susie
You're the one who's supposed to know her way around
Where's the playground Susie if I don't stay around if I don't stay around
[ strings ]
The carousel has stopped us here it twirled a time or two and then it dropped us here
And still you're not content with something about me
But what merry-go-round can you ride without me
To take your hand how would you stand
Where's the playground Susie if I decide to let you go and play around
Where's the playground Susie if I don't stay around if I don't stay around
Where's the playground Susie...

TIME
(Michael Merchant)
« © '59 Regent Music, BMI »
Some people run some people crawl some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in light and some wrapped in fearful black
Some people never get some never give some people never die and some never live
Some folks treat me mean some treat me kind
Most folks just go their way and don't pay me any mind
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold and sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh sunrise I cry at midnight I'm in between and I'm wondering why
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go

UNTIL IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO
(Buffy Sainte Marie)
« © '65 Gypsy Boy Music, ASCAP »
You're not a queen you're not an angel you're a woman
I'm not a king I'm a man take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here I'll stay until it's time for me to go
Though we're different we're apart we're not the same
We laughed and played and searched like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart but incame
So here I'll stay until it's time for me to go
Don't ask why don't ask how don't ask forever love me just love me love me now
This love of mine has no beginning it has no end
I was an oak now I'm a willow I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
So here I'll stay until it's time for me to go
[ ac.guitar - steel ]
And though I'll never in my life see you again
So here I'll stay until it's time for me to go

(Jerry Reed Hubbard)

Oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good yeah she does
My my woman she treats me like my woman should yeah she does
Well she's good as a woman can be anything to satisfy me
Yes oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good
Well she cleans my house she sews my britches scratches my back everytime it itches
Cooks my food and has my youngun's makes me proud that she's my woman yeah
She knows I like cornbread butter milk onions and tomatoes
White beans turnip greens Irish potatoes
Sets me a table that's fit for a king cause she loves just being my queen
Oh what a woman treats me uncommonly good
Well some fellows don't know when they take a wife
Just what kind of woman they're stuck with for life
Now I've known men who took their spouse
And she wound up wearin' the britches in the house
Yeah but now my little woman on the other hand can't do enough to please her man
Spends her time just bein' my girl and there's not another like her in the world no
Oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good yeah she does
My my woman she treats me like my woman should
Well she's good as a woman can be anything to satisfy me
Well oh what a woman treats me uncommon uncommonly good

EVERY TIME I ITCH I WIND UP SCRATCHIN' YOU
(Jeremy Slate - Glen Campbell)
« © '69 Glen Campbell Music, BMI / Songs Of Windswept Pacific, BMI »
You know my love my only wish is happiness for you
So I work real hard to strike it rich but everytime I do
I blow it all on some old witch I hardly ever knew
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you
When everything's ain't going right I hurry home to you
You kiss my lips and you comfort me as only you can do
But the eagle flies on Friday night and my senses fly off too
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you
I dream of coming home to you a knight in shining armour
Cause it seems to me that you rate much more
Than a broken down the busted farmer
Everytime I get ahead I act like someone new
I waste the whole night talking big and spending money too
Then I sneak in bed beside you broke and blue
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you
