SECOND HAND ROSE (SECOND HAND HEART)

(Harlan Howard - Grant Clarke - James Hanley)

Second hand shoes second hand clothes they all call her second hand rose
They all think they're pretty smart but rose don't have a second hand heart

I love a little girl who lives across the way
I go to see her nearly every day
But when I get the money I'll take her far away
So they can't gather around her and say

Second hand shoes...

They tease her about her clothes and things
It's hard to believe some folks can be so mean
But when I get the money I'll buy her the best
I'll take rose you can have all the rest
Second hand shoes...
Second hand shoes...

I'M SO HELPLESS

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
A stepping stone that's all I am to you just to go between while you find someone new
How could I love another when it's through I'm so helpless every time I'm holding you

I'm so helpless every time I'm holding you I can't help it that I feel the way I do
I wish I didn't love you but I do I'm so helpless every time I'm holding you
[ piano ] I'm so helpless every time...

SUCH A FOOL

(Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore - Marvin Moore)
« © '55 Johnny Bienstock 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 trustin' you
Well the day we met I told my heart you 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 ] I'm a fool such a fool...

OUR CHURCH YOUR WEDDING

(Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I went to the church dear the crowd had all gone
There was rice on the walkway and flowers on the lawn
It was our church your wedding now you had gone away
Our church your wedding I lost my love today
I walked to the altar in the church so empty now
Seemed I could hear you whisper those sacred wedding vows
I've put myself in his place I heard you say I do
It was our church your wedding but he not me with you
It was our church your wedding for me this was the end
Our church your wedding he was my best friend

I WENT OUT OF MY WAY

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky - Bobbie Jean Thomas)
« © '61 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I went out of my way to make you happy to love you when your other love went wrong
I went out of my way when you were lonely now I'm out of my mind since you've gone

I ask the fool on the stool next to me what do you do with so much misery
Just one look in his eyes and I could see he was out of his mind just like me

I went out of my way to be near you but one too many nights we were alone
I went out of my way to try and please you now I'm out of my mind since you've gone

I ask the fool on the stool...

THERE'S ALWAYS ONE (WHO LOVES A LOT)

(Mary Biggs - Floyd Biggs - Hargus Robbins)
« © '62 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI / Ashna Music, BMI »
There's always one who loves a lot and one who loves just a little
There's hurt for one who loves a lot from the one who loves just a little

There's always one more demanding there's always one more understanding
I guess I'm the one who loves you a lot while you love me just a little
[ harmonica ] But it's worth all the pain of loving a lot each time you love me just a little
There's always one who loves a lot and one who loves just a little

IT WORRIES ME

(Roy Drusky - Vernon Claude - Janice Howard)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
People talkin' bout my baby steppin' out got me all tore up with jealousy and doubt
Seems the best thing I can do is set you free oh it worries me yes it worries me
Everybody tellin' me how I should go should I leave on something I don't really know
My heart is saying stay my friend or say and leave oh it worries me yes it worries me

It worries me I don't know what to do it's a gettin' bad to be in love with you
How can I take the road to someone new when each road I take takes me back to you
Guess it doesn't help at all to worry so but I can't persuade my heart to let you go
I'm about as messed up as a man can be oh it worries me yes it worries me
[ guitar ] It worries me I don't know...
(Oh it worries me) how it worries me (oh it worries me) yes it worries me

MARKING TIME

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Your face reveals a love you think is real
A love that used to be and still is mine
Her lips conceal the one love that they feel
Though she's with you her heart's just marking time

In the dark of the night when you're holding her tight
Do you know she's pretending it's me
When she closes her eyes do you whether realize
She's marking time with you but loving me
[ steel ] Just a matter of time till once again she's mine
Then no longer she'll have to pretend
Though you may love her so there's one thing you should know
She's just marking time till I come back again

In the dark of the night...

WAIT AND SEE

(Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore - Dave Dudley)
« © '65 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Wait and see what it means to live in sorrow wait and see what loneliness can be
What is like to lose the only things that matter there'll come a day wait and see
Wait and see how it is with no tomorrow wait and see then I know you'll agree
How it feels to be alone and broken hearted there'll come a day wait and see

I hope someone will say to you I've found another love
Then you'll know what I've gone through and what I'm thinking of
Wait and see what it feels like to stop living wait and see what you have done to me
What it's like when all your dreams are shattered there'll come a day wait and see
[ guitar ] I hope someone will say...
There'll come a day wait and see wait and see wait and see

JUST ABOUT THAT TIME

(Roy Drusky)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When I think I've got you off my mind me and my new baby's doing fine
Then she says that steal a kiss or two well just about that time I think of you
I tell my heart I'm glad you went away I've found another since you left that day
But when she whispers love me darling do well just about that time I think of you
Just about that time I think of you think of all the things we used to do
No matter where we go or what we do well just about that time I think of you
[ guitar ] I think of all the love it's stored for me when I look at my new bride to be
But I'm afraid that when I say I do that joust about that time I'll think of you
Yeah just about that time I'll think of you think of all the things we used to do
I can't promise her that I'll be true when just about that time I'll think of you
Yeah just about that time I'll think of you oh just about that time I'll think of you

AFTER YOU TURN OUT YOUR LIGHT

(Roy Drusky - Bill Brock)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
After you're alone at night who do you think of
After you turn out your light who do you dream of
Could it be that you long to hold another time
Are you still loving me after you turn out your light
You show that you love me by things that you do
But do you still love me when I'm not with you
What goes through your mind when I'm not in sight
Are you still loving me after you turn out your light

What goes through your mind...

I'VE GOT SOME

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
« © '61 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Talk about good times hmm I've had some
Talk about mem'ries hmm we've made some
Think about him alone with you
Think about times I've been there too

Talk about heartaches hmm I've got some
I've got some of everything that makes a heart feel sad
I've got none of anything that makes a heart feel glad

Talk about heartaches hmm I've got some
Talk about teardrops hmm I've cried some
Think about you with someone new doing things we used to do
Talk about heartaches hmm I've got some

I've got some of everything...
Talk about good times...
Talk about heartaches hmm I've got some
Talk about mem'ries hmm I've got some
