HUTCHINSON JAIL
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '65 Criterion Music, ASCAP »
Cold cold cold cold it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Somebody help me please I'm as helpless as can be
And I don't know what my life is comin' to
They say I shot a man but I never shot I ran
That was my first mistake I'm telling you
Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Yeah it's cold cold cold cold it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
I got a wife in Wichita and a girl in Saginaw
And they both ain't heard from me in some time
I hate to disappoint 'em both but some feller under oath
Said I did it and they believed his story not mine
Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail...
Snow's all over the ground there ain't one robin around
That I'd trust to carry a message to a friend
Guess I'll just stay here till spring sure wish I knew what's spring
They'd let me out so I can start again
Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail...
Cold cold cold cold it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

SALLY WAS A GOOD OLE GIRL
(Harlan Howard)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Sally used to carry my books to school
Sally was a good ole girl
She helped me with my homework cause I was a fool
Sally was a good ole girl
And if I wanted a kiss or a little bitty squeeze
She was always willing to do her best to please
Girls were made to love and not made to tease
Sally was a good ole girl
Sally was a good ole girl Sally was a good ole girl
No matter what the request she gave it her best
Sally was a good ole girl
Well Sally's folks were poor but she helped all she could
Sally was a good ole girl
She was the hardest working girl in the neighborhood
Sally was a good ole girl
She walked up and down the streets all day
Sellin' neck ties to the one's who'd pay
And if you hadn't have the cash she would give it away
Sally was a good ole girl
Sally was a good ole girl...
[ guitar ]
Sally was a good ole girl...
Sally was a favorite with all of the men
Sally was a good ole girl
Yeah all the other girls despised her then
Sally was a good ole girl
Do you believe me that Sally didn't worry and Sally didn't care
She kept on a workin' and a doin' her share
And she wound up married to a millionare
Sally was a good ole girl
Sally was a good ole girl...

SINCE YOU'RE GONE
(Bobby Darin)
« © '65 Alley Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
I woke up this morning feelin' just as all my head were reelin'
Reelin' from a dream I had last night
Then I'd turned and faced my pillow wept just like a weeping willow
Seems like the dream I had was right
You were gone and the love I was givin' is gone
And the reason for livin' is gone but the mem'ry of your love lives on
Till theday that heaven calls me no one will ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone
[ steel ]
I sit here just thinkin' bout you wonderin' how I'll live without you
Tryin' to figure out what I did wrong
But I guess it doesn't matter if you found a someone better
I'll be here when that someone is gone
You were gone...
My love and happiness are gone my love and happiness are gone

REAL LIVE FOOL
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '65 Criterion Music, ASCAP »
Everybody stand in line it ain't gonna cost you a dime
This you need show is about to start so close the door
We'll turn the lights down low turn the big spot line or so
You can see the real live fool if you never seen one before
You're lookin' at real live fool that's me
You're lookin' at real live fool that's me
There ain't too many of us in captivity
You're lookin' at real live fool and you got in free
Last week I told a lie and I made my baby cry
And she said I guess I don't need your love no more
And then she walked away I ain't seen her since that day
And now I'm hurtin' in a lot of places I ain't hurt before
You're lookin' at real live fool...
[ guitar ]
You're lookin' at real live fool...

(Lee Hazlewood - Naomi Ford)

Gather round me buddies hold your glasses high
And drink to a fool a crazy fool who told his baby goodbye

She's found a new love body he's a lucky guy
So drink to a fool cause I'm that fool who told his baby goodbye

ME AND CHARLIE
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '65 Criterion Music, ASCAP »
Me and Charlie shot a man this morning
He was such a dreary man this morning
His gun was fast and that's a fact so Charlie shot him in the back
Me and Charlie shot a man this morning
(Sing a song some more that's what you live for)
Me and Charlie shot a man this morning
He was such a greedy man this morning
Devide his gold he would not do so Charlie shot him half into
Me and Charlie shot a man this morning
(Sing a song some more that's what you live for)
Me and Charlie we got shot this morning
Boy it hurt an awful lot this morning
Charlie died what could I do so I lay down and I'll die too
Me and Charlie we got shot this morning
(Sing a song some more) there ain't no more (that's what you live for)
