I COULD NEVER BE ASHAMED OF YOU
(Hank Williams)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Everybody says you let me down I should be ashamed to take you round
Makes no difference what you used to do darling I could never be ashamed of you
Maybe you were reckless yesterday but together we can find a brighter way
In my heart I know that you'll come true darling I could never be ashamed of you
(Darling I could never be ashamed of you)
All the happiness I've ever known came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through darling I could never be ashamed of you
Maybe you were cheated in the past and perhaps old memories will always last
But in my heart I know that you'll come true darling I could never be ashamed of you

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART
(Hank Williams)

(Your cheatin' heart will make you weep)
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep you'll cry and cry you'll try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain you'll toss around and call my name
And you'll walk the floor the way I do your cheatin' heart will tell on you
Your cheatin' heart will pine someday and you'll crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you'll be blue your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down...

I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY
(Hank Williams)
« © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
That midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
It means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry

HALF AS MUCH
(Curley Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(If you only loved me half as much as I love you)
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
And you're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
And I know that I could never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
(If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do)
Oh I know that I could never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
If you loved me half as much as I love you

WEDDING BELLS
(Claude Boone)

I have the invitation that you sent me you wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another but dear I hope you're happy just the same
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel that should be ringing now for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
Now I'd planned a little cottage in the valley and I even bought a little band of gold
I thought someday I'd place it on your finger
But now my future looks so dark and cold
Wedding bells are ringing...

YOU WIN AGAIN
(Hank Williams)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(What can I do you win again)
The news is out all over town that you've been seen out runnin' round
Now I know that I should leave but then I just can't go you win again
This heart of mine could never see what everybody knew but me
Lord just trusting you was my great sin what can I do you win again
(What can I do you win again)
I'm so sorry for your victim now for soon his head like mine will bow
Oh he'll give his heart but all in vain and someday say you win again
You have no heart you have no shame you take true love and give the blame
But I guess that I should not complain I love you still you won again

MANSION ON THE HILL
(Hank Williams - Fred Rose)
« © '48 Milene Music, ASCAP / Intersong USA, ASCAP »
Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed
Oh you said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
I've waited all through the years love just to give you a heart true and real
And I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill

TAKE THESE CHAINS FROM MY HEART
(Fred Rose - Hy Heath)
« © '52 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new let me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Give my heart just a word of sympathy be as fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

COLD COLD HEART
(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I've tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
Why do you run and hide from life to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

I CAN'T HELP IT (IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU)
(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(I can't help it if I'm still in love with you)
Today I passed you on the street and my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side and he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
(I can't help it if I'm still in love with you)
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you and hold you just the way I used to do
And heaven only knows how much I miss you I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
