Lee's first duet album with Nancy Sinatra is a classic of '60s pop. He plays the leering, deep-throated, trail-worn cowboy to her bright-eyed girl-child, and the match on songs like "Summer Wine," "Sand," "Jackson," and "Some Velvet Morning" is a smart, sexy, lip-smacking bowl of mind candy.

YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELIN'
(Cynthia Weil - Barry Mann - Phil Spector)
« © '65 Mother Bertha Music, BMI / Screen Gems Music, BMI / ABKCO Music, BMI »
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss those lips
There's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it baby but baby baby oh baby I know it
You've lost that lovin' feelin' oh that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin' now it's gone gone gone oh oh oh
There's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach out for you
Girl you're starting to critisize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying baby cause baby baby something beautiful's dying
You've lost that lovin' feelin'...

MY ELUSIVE DREAMS
(Billy Sherrill - Curly Putman)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I followed you to Texas I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska
Oh we didn't find it there so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us move on
And now now we have each other and an old memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on all alone
I know you're tired of following...
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams

GREENWICH VILLAGE FOLK SONG SALESMAN
(Tom T. Hall)
« © '67 Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I met him in a Greenwich village coffee nook
He was selling folk songs and little bitty books
The place was full of happy hop'd up hippies at the time
All mornin' long he hadn't made a dime
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
You should have heard the bag he was in
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
He'd jump up and sing one now and then
Said I've got songs about Detroit and VietNam
And new one about the economic opportunity program
He had a little banjo with an alligator strap
He'd sing a song at the drop of your hat
He had one song there that Johnson should have heard
To the tune of the Great Speckled Bird
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
His berd was a dark shade of green
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
And now and then he'd jump up and he screams
Said I've got songs about Detroit and VietNam
And new one about the economic opportunity program
Well I told him I had to soon be on my way
Way back to Music City US of A
He said if you'd see Lee and Nancy my friend
Tell 'em I've got fifteen songs for them
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman...

SUMMER WINE
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '67 Granite Music, ASCAP »
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine oh summer wine
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine oh summer wine
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine oh summer wine
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine mhm summer wine
When I woke up the sun was shinin' in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left me craving for more summer wine oh summer wine
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and and help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine oh summer wine

STORYBOOK CHILDREN
(Chip Taylor - Billy Vera)
« © '67 Blackwood Music, BMI »
You've got your world and I've got mine and it's a shame
Two grown up worlds that will never be the same
Why can't we be like storybook children
Running through the rain hand in hand across the meadow
Why can't we be like storybook children
In a wonderland where nothing's planned for tomorrow
You've got his ring you've got his heart you've got his baby
And it's too late to turn away and start again
Why can't we be like storybook children...
How happy we could be if only we were storybook children

SUNDOWN SUNDOWN
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '67 Granite Music, ASCAP »
There's no one in this world for me there's never gonna be
There's no one in this world needs me there's never gonna be
And yet sometimes in my dreams I hear
Sundown I miss you sundown I need you sundown
Come on come on come on come on back to me
Come on come on come on come on back to me
I need you sundown I need you sundown
[ strings ]
There's no one ever reached for me there's never gonna be
There's no one meant for only me there's never gonna be
And yet sometimes in my dreams I hear
Sundown I miss you sundown I want you sundown
Come on come on come on come on back to me
Come on come on come on come on back to me
I love you sundown I love you sundown
Sometimes in my dreams I hear
I love you sundown I love you sundown

JACKSON
(Billy Ed Wheeler - Gaby Rogers)
« © '65 Bexhill Music, ASCAP »
We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson I'm gonna mess around
Yeah I'm goin' to Jackson look out Jackson town
Well go on down to Jackson go ahead and wreck your health
Go play your hand you big talkin' man make a big fool of yourself
Yeah yeah go to Jackson but go comb my hair
I'm gonna snowball Jackson go ahead and see if I care
When I breeze into that city the people gonna stoop and bow
All them women gonna make me teach 'em what they don't know how
I'm goin' to Jackson you turn loose my coat
Cause I'm goin' to Jackson goodbye that's all she wrote
They laugh at you in Jackson and I'll be dancin' on the pony keg
They'll lead you around town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked tween your legs
Yeah yeah yeah go to Jackson you big talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' there in Jackson behind my Japan fan
We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
Goin' to Jackson and that's a natural fact
We're goin' to Jackson ain't never comin' back
We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' bout Jackson ever since the fire went out

SOME VELVET MORNING
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '67 Lee Hazlewood Music, ASCAP »
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life and how she made it in
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Flowers growing on the hill dragon flies and daffodils
Learn from us very much look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
Some velvet morning when I'm straight...
Flowers are the things we know secrets are the things we grow
Learn from us very much look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Flowers growing on the hill
I'm gonna open up your gate
Dragon flies and daffodils
And maybe tell you bout Phaedra
Learn from us very much
And how she gave me life
Look at us but do not touch

SAND
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '66 Granite Music, ASCAP »
Young woman share your fire with me my heart is cold my soul is free
I am a stranger in your land wandering man call me Sand
Oh sir my fire is very small it will not warm Thy heart at all
But Thee may take me by the hand hold me and I'll call Thee Sand
Young woman share your fire with me...
At night when stars light up the sky oh sir I dream my fire is high
Oh taste these lips sir if you can wandering man I'll call Thee Sand
[ guitar ]
Oh sir my fire is burning high if it should stop sir I would die
A shooting star has crossed my land wandering man she whispered Sand Sand
Young woman shared her fire with me now warms herself with memory
I was a stranger in her land wandering man she called me Sand
He was a stranger in my land wandering man she called me Sand

LADY BIRD
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '67 Lee Hazlewood Music, ASCAP »
I've been where the eagle flies rode his wings cross autumn skies
Kissed the sun touched the moon but he left me much too soon
His lady bird he left his lady bird
Lady bird come on down I'm here waitin' on the ground
Lady bird I'll treat you good ah lady bird I wish you would
You lady bird pretty lady bird
Lightning flashed across the sky the night he taught me how to fly
The sun came up and then I found too soon he let his lady down
His lady bird I'm his lady bird
Lady bird come on down...
[ strings ]
Winter lives in my heart in the times we're apart
Summer sings a song or two when he says I love you true
My lady bird yeah I'm his lady bird
Lady bird come on down...
I'm your lady bird you're a lady bird yes I'm a lady bird
You're too much you little bird
