SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON
(Hank Locklin)
« © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Oh don't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I share your love in dreams that once were true
So send me the pillow that you dream on
And darling I can dream on it too
[ guitar - strings ]
I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a mem'ry's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
So darling I can dream on it too

WOLVERTON MOUNTAIN
(Merle Kilgore - Claude King)
« © '62 Painted Desert Music, BMI »
They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
Cause you're Clifton Clovers only daughter
And he's mighty handy with his gun and knife
Your tender lips are sweeter than honey
But Wolverton Mountain protects me there
And the bears and birds tell Clifton Clovers
If a stranger should wander there
All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain
But my daddy honey take your life
And I'll take my chances and I'll climb his mountain
And we'll be happy as man and wife
Your tender lips are sweeter than honey...
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain
I know you're lonesome down there below
It's just not right to seperate us
Because we love each other so
Your tender lips are sweeter than honey...
We don't care about Clifton Clower cause our love is sweeter than flowers
We're gonna leave Wolverton Mountain it's gonna be just a matter of powers
We don't care about Clifton Clowers...

PLEASE HELP ME I'M FALLING
(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)
« © '59 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
I belong to another whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever to have and to hold
I can never be free dear but when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the will to be true
[ strings - guitar ]
Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you but darling I do
Please help me I'm falling in love with you

SINGING THE BLUES
(Melvin Endsley)
« © '55 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well I never felt more like singing the blues
Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear why'd you do me this way
Well I never felt more like crying all night
Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you you got me singing the blues
The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry over you
Well I never felt more like running away
But why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you got me singing the blues
[ harmonica ]
The moon and stars no longer shine...
You got me singing the blues you got me singing the blues

WALK ON BY
(Kendall Hayes)
« © '61 ATV Songs, BMI »
If I see you tomorrow on some street in town
Pardon me if I don't say hello
I belong to another and it wouldn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know
Just walk on by wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
[ guitar ]
In dimly little corner in a place outside of town
Tonight we'll try to say goodbye again
But I know it's not over I'll call tomorrow night
I can't let you go so why pretend
Just walk on by...
I love you but we're strangers when we meet

(Lefty Frizzell - Jim Beck)
« © '50 Peer International, BMI »
If you've got the money I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
We'll make all the night spots dance romance and dine
If you've got the money honey I've got the time
Now there ain't no use to tarry so let's start out tonight
We'll spread joy boy oh boy honey we'll spread it right
We'll have more fun baby all way down the line
If you've got the money honey I've got the time
If you've got the money I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
Bring along your cadillac leave your old wreck behind
If you've got the money honey I've got the time
[ strings - piano ]
Yes we'll go honky tonkin' and we'll be pleasure bent
I'll look like a million but I won't have a cent
But if you run short of money I'll run short of time
Cause you with no more money honey I've no more time
If you've got the money...
If you've got the money...

MAKING BELIEVE
(Jimmy Work)
« © '54 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
But I'll always dream still I'll never own you
Making believe that's all I can do
I can't hold you close honey when you're not with me
You're somebody's love you'll never be mine
Making believe I'll spend my lifetime loving you making believe
(I can't hold you close) can't hold you close
(When you're not with me) when you're not with me
(You're somebody's love) you're somebody's love
(You'll never be mine) no no never be mine
Making believe I'll spend my lifetime loving you making believe

BLUE BLUE DAY
(Don Gibson)
« © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
It's been a blue blue day I feel like running away
I feel like running away from it all
My love has been untrue she's found somebody new
It's been a blue blue day for me
I feel like crying dying what can I do
I feel like praying saying I'm glad we're through
It's been a blue blue day I feel like running away
I feel like running away from the blues
[ strings ]
How can I make believe that I don't sit and grieve
It's been a blue blue day for me
I can't pretend and say that I don't love her anyway
It's been a blue blue day for me
I feel like crying dying...
I feel like running away from the blues

NO LETTER TODAY
(Frankie Brown)
« © '59 Peer International, BMI »
No letter today I've waited since dawn
I've waited each day since you have been gone
No letter today all the days are so long
Oh why don't you write I know I was wrong
Just give me one chance please won't you forgive
I'll love you my dear as long as I live
I know it's no use though I hope and I pray
The postman goes by no letter today
[ strings ]
Just give me one chance...

BYE BYE LOVE
(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)
« © '57 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye love bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye
There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye bye love bye bye happiness...
I'm through with romance I'm through with love
I'm through with countin' the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My loving baby is through with me
Bye bye love bye bye happiness...
Bye bye my love goodbye bye bye my love goodbye

WABASH CANNONBALL
(A.P. Carter - William Kindt)
« © '46 Peer International, BMI »
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the green New Hampshire mountains to the southland's cajun lore
She's streamlined and she's welcome by the train and one and all
She's a railroad institution called the Wabash Cannonball
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
As she rolls on down the mountains from the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome whistle's call
Hear the mingle with the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
She came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she rolled into the station you could hear the people say
There's a girl from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
Eastern states are dandy so the western people say
From Pittsburg to St Louis and Cincinnati by the way
From the hills of Minnesotta where the wrippling waters fall
The flatlands of New Jersey on the Wabash Cannonball
We'll drink a toast to Casey Jones may his name forever stand
He's built a reputation with the railroads of our land
His final run is over nad all the curtains fall
We'll carry him back to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball
Listen to the jingle...
