ONCE A DAY

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Once a day all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day every day all day long

When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away
Until now I'm down to hurting once a day

Once a day all day long...

I'm so glad that I'm not like a friend I knew one time
He lost the one he's loved then slowly lost his mind
He sat around and cried his life away
Lucky me I'm only crying once a day

Once a day all day long...
Once a day every day all day long

FOUR STRONG WINDS

(Ian Tyson) « © '63 WB Music, ASCAP »
Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run dry
All these things that won't change come what may
But my good times are all gone and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

I may go out to Alberta weather's good there in the fall
Got some friends that I could go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind if I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more
[ steel ] If I get there before the snow flies and things are going good
You could join me if I'd sent you down the fare
If you'll wait until it's winter it would do no good
For the winds sure can blow a way out there

Four strong winds that blow lonely...

KING OF THE ROAD

(Roger Miller) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Trailer for sale or rent rooms to left fifty cents
No phone no pool no pets I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but two hours of pushing broom buys a eight by twelve four bit room
I'm a man of means by no means king of the road

Third bocxcar midnight train destination Bangor Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found short but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means king of the road

Every engineer on every train
All of the children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around

I sing trailers for sale or rent...
Trailer for sale or rent rooms to left fifty cents

LOVE'S GONNA LIVE HERE

(Buck Owens) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Oh the sun's gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Things're gonna be the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness only happiness
Love's gonna live here again
[ guitar ] I hear bells a ringin' I hear birds a singin'
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bees a hummin' and I know the days are comin'
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here love's gonna live here...
Love's gonna live here love's gonna live here...

YOU'RE THE ONLY WORLD I KNOW

(Bob Tubert - Sonny James) « © '64 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
(You're the only only world I know)

You're the only world I know
You're the one I can't let go
You're my laughter and my tears
And I love you all my years

You're the beating of my heart
You're my thoughts when we're apart
You're the one I can't let go
You're the only only world I know
[ guitar ] You're my nighttime and my day
You're my one love all the way
You're the one I can't let go
You're the only only world I know

INVISIBLE TEARS

(Ned Miller - Sue Miller) « © '64 Central Songs, BMI »
Invisible tears in my eyes incredible pain in my heart
Indestructable memories are passing in review
Impossible though things may get improbable I will forget
Indelible memories of sweet a loveable you

You're back again so I'll let you in
Altough I'm only seeing pictures from the past
Those arms are not real but somehow I feel
If I'd just close my eyes then maybe it will last

Invisible tears in my eyes...
Indelible memories of sweet a loveable you

I'VE GOT A TIGER BY THE TAIL

(Harlan Howard - Buck Owens) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Well I thought the day I met you you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
Now the pace we're living takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

I've got a tiger by the tail...
[ guitar - steel ] Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
There ain't no way to try to slow you down
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

I've got a tiger by the tail...
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE

(Bill Anderson) « © '57 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I don't love you anymore not the way I did before
And since you've found somebody new I think it's best
I don't cry and walk the floor I don't love you anymore
A trouble is I don't love you any less

I don't love you anymore for I've got no more love to give
You drained my heart of all its love with every sweet caress
I keep saying o'er and o'er I don't love you anymore
A trouble is I don't love you any less
[ piano ] I held you close to me one time kissed your lips and called you mine
Then another came and warmed you with his touch
I cried as you walked out the door I don't love you anymore
That's the truth but I still love you just as much

I don't love you anymore...

TOGETHER AGAIN

(Buck Owens) « © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters we're together again
[ steel ] Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms oh where you belong
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters we're together again
And nothing else matters we're together again

I GUESS I'M CRAZY (FOR LOVING YOU)

(Werly Fairburn) « © '55 Mallory Music, BMI »
I guess I'm crazy for loving you
You tell me many ways that I won't do
My heart keeps saying that I'm a fool
I guess I'm crazy for loving you

I don't dare let you go it's unfair this I know
I don't care if it's so it has to be
My heart keeps saying that I'm a fool
I guess I'm crazy for loving you

I don't dare let you go...

SAGINAW MICHIGAN

(Bill Anderson - Don Wayne) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I was born in Saginaw Michigan
I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay
My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman
Too many times he came home with too little pay

I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy wealthy man
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
Not good enough to claim his daughter's hand

Now I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold
Like a crazy fool I'm a diggin' in the frozen ground so cold
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw Michigan

I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan
I said honey I'm a coming home please wait for me
You can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man
I've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history

Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan
He gave me a great big party with champagne
Then he said son you're a wise ambitious man
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim

Now he's up there in Alaska a diggin' in the cold cold ground
Like a greedy fool is a lookin' for the gold I never found
It serves him right no one here is missin' him
Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan
Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan
We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw Michigan

THANKS A LOT

(Eddie Miller - Don Sessions) « © '63 Regent Music, BMI »
Thanks thanks a lot
I got a broken heart that's all I've got
You made me cry and I cried a lot
I lost your love baby thanks a lot

You told our friend as I was passin' by
That you're not sorry that you made me cry
You said I deserve just what I got
Well if that's how you feel honey thanks a lot

Thanks thanks a lot...
[ guitar ] You wanted a fool I played the part
Now all I've got is a broken heart
We loved a little and laughed a lot
Then you were gone honey thanks a lot

Thanks thanks a lot...
Thanks thanks a lot...
