ALMOST PERSUADED
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '66 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Last night all alone in a barroom met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table and as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her for temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I've looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home

Ramblin' Rose Ramblin' Rose why you ramble no one knows
Wild and wind blown that's how you've grown who can cling to a Ramblin' Rose
Ramble on ramble on why you ramble no one knows
Wild and wind blown that's how you've grown who can cling to a Ramblin' Rose
[ steel ]
Ramble on ramble on...
Who can cling to a Ramblin' Rose

FROM A JACK TO A KING
(Ned Miller)

From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen and walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king with no regrets I stackled the cards last night
And Lady Luck played her hand just right to make me king of your heart
For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen you made me king of your heart
[ guitar ]
For just a little while I thought...

WE GOT LOVE
(Gene Davis)
« © '66 Terran Music, BMI »
You got me I got you we got love
When we walk in the room they stop talking
But the looks that we get say a lot
Let them think what they're like you and I both know we're right
They'd give the world if they had what we got
We got love and that's all that matters and it gets a little stronger day by day
There's a ring on your hand you're my girl and I'm your man
You got me I got you we got love
[ guitar ]
They're just jealous because they know we're happy
And I guess that it does show on my face
So let's smile and say hello to everyone we know
We got something that nothing can replace
We got love and that's all that matters...
There's a ring on your hand...
There's a ring on your hand...

TONIGHT YOU BELONG TO ME
(Billy Rose - Lee David)
« © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Though you belong to somebody else tonight you belong to me
And though we're apart you're part of my heart tonight you belong to me
Down by the stream how sweet it will seem once more to dream in the moonlight
And though with the dawn I know you'll be gone tonight you belong to me
(Down by the stream how sweet it will seem) once more to dream in the moonlight
And though with the dawn I know you'll be gone tonight you belong to me
Tonight you belong to me

LIVIN' IN A HOUSE FULL OF LOVE
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '66 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Now love is pullin' through the window comin' in the door
And I cann feel it creepin' through the cracks in the floor
Bouncin' off the walls and the ceiling up above
Since I found you I'm livin' in a house full of love
All of my life my heart's been walked on
Women said to love me and my heart to talk on
Tellin' me lies and fillin' my eyes with tears that I couldn't control
I couldn't get a hold to myself long enough to realize
They were only tryin' to pull a wool over my eyes
Then I found you and the skies turned blue and I'm livin' in a house full of love
Now love is pullin' through the window...
[ guitar ]
Once I lived in a hole like a rabbit I couldn't find a love and the blues were a habit
A lonely man I couldn't understand why everything I tried went wrong
Then you came along bless your heart showed me the right way
Dried my eyes and turned my night to day
And I'm so proud I'm gonna holler out loud I'm livin' in a house full of love
Now love is pullin' through the window...
Now love is pullin' through the window...

HEART WE DID ALL THAT WE COULD
(Ned Miller)
« © '66 Central Songs, BMI »
Well there she goes she hardly knows the heart she's breaking
I spoke to her that I don't think she understood
So just forget about the plans that you were making heart we did all that we could
Don't blame these lips these hungry lips were pleading for you
They used all the tender words that they should
And if you break and fall apart I couldn't blame you heart we did all that we could
[ guitar ]
These misty eyes these tear filled eyes were picture taken
Grading all the memories that they could
They're the only thing you'll have when you're through breakin'
Heart we did all that we could heart we did all that we could

DON'T MENTION TOMORROW
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '66 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
I know I'll be blue for a while yet till your mem'ry finally goes I'll wait
And these tears that keep falling around me mean a rainbow is on its way
So don't mention tomorrow till I have time to forget yesterday
I'm still in a state of confusion cause I'd planned a future with you
And it's such a big change for my world to turn from happy to blue
So don't mention tomorrow till I have time to forget yesterday
(So don't mention tomorrow) till I have time to forget yesterday

LITTLE PEDRO
(Cecil Null)
« © '66 Regent Music, BMI »
I was standing on the other side of Texas on my way back home from Mexico
When I overheard these sad little words
Coming up to me from underneath my tiny sombrero
Senor senorita if you see my mother where you go
Senor senorita please tell her Little Pedro's lonely down in Mexico
Little boy with sadly tell his story to every stranger who he passes away
He said his mother went to Laredo with a friend
She promised him that she'd come back and take him there some day
Senor senorita if you see my mother...
I told him I would tell her if I saw her and then I said goodbye to Little Pedro
But I just can't forget his words I hear them yet
Coming up to me from underneath my tiny sombrero
Senor senorita if you see my mother...
Please tell her Little Pedro's lonely down in Mexico
Please tell her Little Pedro's lonely down in Mexico
