MILE LONG TRAIN
(Gerald Nelson - Chuck Taylor)
« © '63 Coach And Four Music, BMI »
Wagon train mile long train
Four hundred mules six hundred men
They didn't know the devil was in
This mile long train wagon train
A man in black no one knew his name
He was a devil for sure leadin' that train
He said all you miners mule skinners too
Fifteen days I'll save for you
You see that plain those mountains there
I'll take you across ha ha ha if you dare
Wagon train mile long train...
Now the only way out was the way they came in
And the shifting sand covered track where they've been
So one by one they all died of thirst
And the devil has laughed in this mile long hearse
That's where the name Death Valley began
For there's no way out and only one way in
Wagon train mile long train...

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW
(Don Robertson - Howard Barnes)
« © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
How many arms have held you and hated to let you go
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
How many lips have kissed you and set your soul aglow
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
So always make me wonder and always make me guess
And even if I ask you darling don't confess
Just let it remain me your secret cause darling I love you so
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
No I really don't want to know want to know

BE HONEST WITH ME
(Gene Autry - Fred Rose)
« © '56 Western Music, ASCAP / Milene Music, ASCAP »
Be honest with me dear whatever you do
Remember you're mine dear so always be true
Wherever you wander on land or on sea
If you really love me be honest with me
My poor heart would break dear if you were untrue
Asleep or awake dear I'll dream about you
Oh you are my darling you're all that I see
If you really love me be honest with me
Someday I'll return dear and make you my own
And how I will yearn dear when I'm all alone
I'll never forget you your sweet memory
If you really love me be honest with me
If you really love me be honest with me

REMEMBER ME (I'M THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU)
(Stuart Hamblen)
« © '49 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Hamblen Music, ASCAP »
If you're all alone and blue no one to tell your troubles to
Remember me cause I'm the one who loves you
If the whole world turned you down and not a true friend can be found
Remember me cause I'm the one who loves you
Through all kinds of weather you know I'll never change
Through the sunshine and the shadows I'll always be the same
Oh we're together right or wrong and where you go I'll tag along
Remember me cause I'm the one who loves you
Yes through all kinds of weather...
Remember me cause I'm the one who loves you

TIME CHANGES EVERYTHING
(Tommy Duncan)
« © '54 Red River Songs, BMI »
There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love's refrain
Well our hearts beat as one as we had our fun but time changes everything
When you left me my poor heart was broken and our romance did seem all in vain
But the dark cloud have gone there's blue skies again cause time changes everything
Well time has passed then I've forgot you mother nature does wonderful things
Well I guess now that it's true for me and for you time changes everything
You can change the name of an old song arearrange it and make it swing
I thought nothing could ever stop me from loving you but time changes everything

SWEET GEORGIA BROWN
(Ben Bernie - Maceo Pinkard - Kenneth Casey)
« © '25 WB Music, ASCAP »
Well I said no gal made has got a shade of sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet oh so neat as sweet Georgia Brown
But on the other side I wanna die when she comes to town
I'm tellin' you why baby you know I don't lie yeah not much
And it's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Oh since she came why it's a shame how she cools them down
Now the follas she can't get are they boys gee she ain't met
Georgia named her Georgia claimed her sweet sweet Georgia Brown

THIS OLE HOUSE
(Stuart Hamblen)
« © '54 Hamblen Music, ASCAP »
This ole house once knew my children this ole house once knew my wife
This ole house was joy and comfort as we fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter this ole house heard many a shouts
But now she trembles in the darkness oh when the lightnin' walks about
I ain't a gonna need this house no longer ain't a gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix his shingles got time to fix the door
Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mingle the window panes
I ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a gettin' shaky this ole house is a gettin' old
This ole house stands in the rain this ole house stands in the cold
Oh my knees are gettin' chilly but I feel no fear or pain
Cause I can see an angel a peekin' through a broken window pane
I ain't a gonna need this house no longer...
This ole house is afraid of thunder this ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles when the night come flings his arms
This ole house is a gettin' feeble this ole house is a needin' paint
Just like me it's tuckered out but I'm gonna get ready to meet the saints
I ain't a gonna need this house no longer...

TEARS ON MY PILLOW
(Gene Autry - Fred Rose)
« © '41 Western Music, ASCAP / Milene Music, ASCAP »
We were so happy when love lingered on back in our sweet used to be
But now it's all over and you were gone leaving a sad memory
And there's tears on my pillow each morning
I cry when I dream about you
When I should be sleeping I just lay there weeping
Wondering if you're weeping too
I'm trying so hard to forget you
But that's not so easy to do
With these tears on my pillow each morning
Tears that I've shed over you
Tears on my pillow each morning...
(Tears on my pillow)

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
(Fred Rose - Mel Foree)
« © '45 Milene Music, ASCAP »
No one will ever know how much I love you
Although a million tears start to flow
I may cry myself to sleep but I'll wake up smiling
Oh I'll miss you but no one will ever know
I'll just tell them we grew tired of each other
And that our love has never meant to be
Oh I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me
I'll just tell them we grew tired...

HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME
(Fred Rose - Ed G. Nelson - Steve Nelson)
« © '56 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Don't your conscience ever bother you everytime you hear my name
Well you should go somewhere hide your face and hang your head in shame
Yes someone came along and took my place and you gave me all the blame
You should go somewhere and hide your little face and hang your head in shame
[ fiddle ]
Yes someone came along and took my place and you gave me all the blame
Oh you should go somewhere and hide your little face and hang your head in shame
And hang your head in shame

CHATTANOOGA SHOESHINE BOY
(Harry Stone - Jack Stapp)
« © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Have you ever passed the corner of 4th and Ground
Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoeshine stand
People gather round and they clap their hands
He's a great big bungle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag Chattanooga shoeshine boy
Well he charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe
He makes the older kind of laughter look like new
You feel as though you wanna dance when he gets through
He's a great big bungle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag Chattanooga shoeshine boy
Well it's a wonder that the rag don't tear the way he makes it pop
You oughta see him fan the air
He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em early when they're feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise and shine with a great big bungle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag Chattanooga shoeshine boy
[ guitar ]
Well it's a wonder that the rag...
(Chattanooga Chattanooga) Chattanooga shoeshine boy
