YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE

(Bruce Phillips) « © '65 Scruggs Music, BMI »
Now if you don't want me honey you don't have to stall
My love is not a plaything you will find
Now that you have nothin' with my back against the wall
Honey won't you please make up your mind
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You'll feel so blue and all alone yes you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
[ fiddle - dobro ] Now where were you when I called you on the phone
And your mama said that you were not around
While I was sittin' at home all alone you're walkin' the dog all over town
You're gonna miss me...
[ banjo - harmonica ] Now don't you remember when you was my honeybee
And you buzzed around the sugar all night long
Now your cheatin' heart is gonna got the best of me
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me...

I STILL MISS SOMEONE

(Johnny Cash - Ray Cash) « © '58 House Of Cash, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
At my door the leaves are falling the cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together and I still miss someone
Though I never got over those blue eyes I see them everywehere
I miss those arms that held me when all the love was there
[ harmonica ] I wonder if she's sorry for leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere and I still miss someone
Though I never got over...
When all the love was there

WABASH CANNONBALL

(A.P. Carter - William Kindt) « © '46 Peer International, BMI »
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
Climbs a glowing mountains to the Southbell by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all
She's a combination on the Wabash Cannonball
Now she came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say
There's a gal from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
[ harmonica ] Our eastern states are dandy so the people always say
From New York to St Louis and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesotta where the wrippling waters fall
No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball
Now here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand
Always be remembered in the ports throughout the land
His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall
Carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball
Now listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear the lonesome hoboes call
Travelin' through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

I'LL BE ON THAT GOOD ROAD SOME DAY

(Bruce Phillips) « © '65 Scruggs Music, BMI »
I'll be on that good road some day I'll be on that good road some day
That same old train's gonna come back again and roll all my blues away

Now darlin' you can't love one darlin' you can't love two
Darlin' you can't love three or four and still think my love belongs to you
I'll be on that good road...
[ fiddle - dobro ] I've counted all lonely nights I've counted stars in the sky
I don't know why I counted on you I know it's too late now goodbye
I'll be on that good road...
[ banjo - harmonica ] Now if I had wings of a dove I'd be on my way back home
But I am bound to a false hearted love till I wished I was living alone
I'll be on that good road...

ROCK SALT AND NAILS

(Bruce Phillips) « © '65 Scruggs Music, BMI »
By the banks of the river where the willows hang down
And the wild birds all warble with a low mourning sound
Down in the hollow where the water runs cold
It was there I first listened to the lies that you told
Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face
The past I remember time cannot erase
A letter you wrote me it was written in shame
And I know that your conscience still echoes my name
[ harmonica ] Now the nights are so long load sorrow unsteep
And nothing is worse than a night wothout sleep
I walk out alone and look at the sky too empty to say too lonesome to cry
If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were fishes
I'd lie there for hours in the chilly cold matches
If the ladies were squirrels with a high bushy tail
I'd fill up my shotgun with a rock salt and nails

CONFESSING

(Dennis O. Bassham) « © '65 Scruggs Music, BMI »
I know that I hurt you and I'm confessing
Since you've been gone I'm feeling mighty low
Please let me hear from you and keep me guessing
I need you more than you could ever know
Now I'm to blame I treated you unkind
I broke your heart and now you're breaking mine
I know I done you wrong and I'm confessing
Please take me back and try me one more time
[ fiddle - dobro ] How could I ever think I'll love another the way I treated you it was a crime
You are the only one I love no other please take me back and try me one more time
Now I'm to blame...

WILL YOU BE LONESOME TOO

(Alton Delmore) « © '65 Vidor Publications, BMI »
I don't want you to cry cause I'm leavin' don't want you to cry cause I'm blue
Only my thoughts make me lonesome wonder if you're lonesome too
Wonder if you're lonesome too
[ fiddle - dobro ] Why should two lovers quarrel why should they be so untrue
I know what it means to be lonesome wonder if you're lonesome too
Wonder if you're lonesome too
How would you like be lonesome when someone is through with you
My heart is sad and lonesome wonder if you're lonesome too
Wonder if you're lonesome too
[ banjo - harmonica ] Now give me your right hand honey I'll say this prayer with you
I'll be so lonesome without you will you be lonesome too
Will you be lonesome too
How would you like be lonesome...

YOU'VE BEEN FOOLING ME BABY

(Maybelle Carter - Shara Carter) « © '65 Peer International, BMI »
I don't want you mean mama there ain't no use you're hangin' round
For I found me another baby and now I am Chicago bound
You've been fooling me baby you've been telling me your lies
When I thought you were an angel just sent down from the skies
[ harmonica ] Don't sing those parting blues to me sweet babe when I'll leave I'll leave you sad
Now your daddy's goin' to leave you cause you treated me so bad
You've been fooling me baby...
[ dobro ] You wouldn't give me much lovin' would I stay at home at night
Now I hear the train a comin' and I'll soon be out of sight
You've been fooling me baby...

BRANDED WHEREVER I GO

(Fred Rose) « © '62 Milene Music, ASCAP »
I recieved the letter you wrote dear in which you said you'd wait for me
I'm asking you to please not to wait dear it will only ruin your life I see
Now please don't wait for me darling we could never be happy I know
I'll always be a next convict and branded wherever I go
[ dobro ] In three years my sentence is over the gate will swing wide for me
The warden will say I'm a free man but my name will never be free
Please don't wait for me darling...
[ harmonica ] May God bless you for your kindness you've stuck with me through thick and thin
I love you too much to disgrace you in closing God bless you again
Now please don't wait for me darling...
