SUCH A FOOL

(Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore - Marvin Moore)
« © '55 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
I'm a fool such a fool a crazy fool for lovin' you
I'm a fool such a fool a crazy fool for bein' true

The day we met I told my heart better let her be
No good no good she ain't no good she'll make a fool of me
I'm a fool such a fool a crazy fool for lovin' you
[ guitar ] The day we met I told my heart better let her be...

RIBBON OF DARKNESS

(Gordon Lightfoot)
« © '66 Early Morning Music, SESAC »
Ribbon of darkness over me since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds're gatherin' o'er my head they chill the day and hide the sun
Enshroud the night when day is done ribbon of darkness over me

Rain is fallin' on the meadow where once my love and I did lie
Now she's gone from the meadow bye love goodbye
Ribbon of darkness over me where once the world was young as spring
Where flowers bloomed and birds did sing ribbon of darkness over me
[ choir ] In this cold room a lyin' don't wanna see no one but you
Lord I wish I could be dyin' to forget you
How I wish your heart could see how mine aches and breaks all day
Come on back and take away ribbon of darkness over me mhm mhm

FRAULEIN

(Lawton Williams)
« © '56 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Far across deep blue waters lives an ole German's daughter
On the banks of the ole River Rhine
Where I met her and left her but I can't forget her
I miss my pretty Fraulein

Fraulein Fraulein look up toward the heavens
Each night when the stars start to shine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein

When my memories wander a away over yonder
To the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory a face comes before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein

Fraulein Fraulein look up toward the heavens...

MY WAY

(Paul Anka - Jacques Revaux - Claude Francois)
« © '67 Chrysalis Standards, BMI »
And now the end is near so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full I've traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more much more than this I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few but then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I've planned each chartered course each careful step along the byway
And more much more than this I did it my way

I've loved I've laughed and cried I've had my fill my share of losing
And now as tears subside I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that and may I say that in a shy way
Oh no oh no not me I did it my way
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way

ALONE WITH YOU

(Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore - Faron Young)
« © '58 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
How I'd love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
How I'd love to be alone with you
And if I only had the power to read your mind one hour
How I'd love to be alone with you

Just to be with you one night you and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight and have you for my own
This would be a joy unending could be a real beginning
How I'd love to be alone with you
[ guitar ] Just to be with you one night you and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight and have you for my own
So won't you try to be my baby just for once and then well maybe
I could always be alone with you then I could always be alone with you

ALL OVER MY MIND

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
« © '69 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
You're still all over my mind

I keep hopin' in another I'll find you again
That's why there've been so many lips where your lips have been
But the mem'ries of the past put my future behind
Cause you're still all over my mind

You're still all over my mind
If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Then why it's killin' mine
From the bottom up I try ev'rything I find
But you're still all over my mind
[ steel ] You're still all over my mind
If only all my dreams of you could be denied
Then maybe with a new love I'd be satisfied
Odds and ends of yesterday are all I can find
And you're still all over my mind

You're still all over my mind...

MY GRASS IS GREEN

(Roy Drusky)
« © '69 Funny Farm Music, BMI »
My grass is green the greenest you've ever seen
I know what I've got and I've got a lot with you
My grass is green and you're my favorite dream
And I won't look for greener pastures while my grass is green

There's new grass just next door but there's a fence of love between
And though my eyes may wander it doesn't mean a thing
The love that's here with me is just one happy endless seam
And I won't look for greener pastures while my grass is green

My grass is green the greenest you've ever seen...
No I won't look for greener pastures while my grass is green

TURN AROUND AND LOOK AT ME

(Jerry Capehart - Glen Campbell)
« © '68 Unichappell Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
There is someone walking behind you turn around look at me
There is someone watching your footsteps turn around look at me
There is someone who really needs you here's my heart here's my hand
Turn around look at me understand understand

That there's someone to stand beside you turn around look at me
And there's someone to love and guide you turn around look at me
Oh I've waited but I'll wait forever for you to come to me
Look at someone who really loves you turn around look at me look at me

BREAK MY MIND

(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Baby oh baby tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind break my mind
No I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine
Break my mind break my mind oh Lord
If you leave you're gonna leave a babblin' fool behind

Baby sweet sweet baby let me take your suitcase off the scales in time
Tell the man that you've suddenly developed a thing about flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind break my mind...
Break my mind break my mind...

MINUTE OF YOUR TIME

(Gerald Westake)
« © '69 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
For you to think of me it would only take a minute of your time
To spare one thought for me would you miss just one minute of your time
When you are far away I'd like to be
Part of your time each day so think of me

One minute of your time is all it takes to bring us close
When we are far apart
And if I'm on your mind I know that there's a chance you'll find
I'm right there in your heart
One minute ev'ry day may help to keep the wolf away
Until that moment you are back to stay
But still I'd like to think you think of me ev'ry minute of your time

One minute of your time is all it takes to bring us close...

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

(Gene Raskin)
« © '68 Essex Music, ASCAP »
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose we'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we chose we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days oh yes those were the days

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely follow really me

Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end...

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friends we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts our dreams are still the same

Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end...
La la la la la
