TIMBER I'M FALLING
(Ferlin Husky - Dalton Timbur)
« © '64 Husky Music, BMI »
(Timber timber)
Timber I'm falling true love is calling timber I'm falling in love with you
Well timber I'm falling true love is calling timber I'm falling in love with you
Well you're my little baby I'm gonna be maybe
You've got me wearing my brand new shoes
I like your walking I like your talking good morning sunshine and goodbye blues
Well timber I'm falling...
[ rh.banjo ]
Timber I'm falling...
Well I'll ask your mama I'll ask your papa if they will give me their daughter's hand
Well you've got the honey I've got the money two dollars past and the preacher man
Well timber I'm falling...
Said timber I'm falling...
Timber timber timer

DON'T COUNT THE DIAMONDS
(Ferlin Husky - Dalton Timbur)
« © '64 Husky Music, BMI »
Don't count the diamonds in her wedding band until she wears it on her hand
I once believed in all she told me my faithful bride she was to be
But then a thief walked in between us and stole her love away from me
Don't count the diamonds in her wedding band until she wears it on her hand
Don't count the diamonds in her wedding band until she wears it on her hand
My heart has finally learned this lesson to never love just anyone
You can't believe on someone's promise until the promise has been done
So don't count the diamonds in her wedding band until she wears it on her hand

AS CLOSE AS WE'LL EVER BE
(Harlan Howard)
« © '64 Central Songs, BMI »
Once those two lips were true lips they meant every word they said
But a woman has the right to change her mind and you did
Twas on a June night a moonlight when you said you love me
But that's as close as we will ever be
That's as close as we will ever be you took back the heart you gave me
Once we planned and we scheemed we talked and we dreamed
But that's as close as we will ever be
Once we planned and we scheemed...

SOMEBODY SAVE ME
(Alex Zanetis)
« © '64 Vanadore Music, BMI »
Throw me a life line I'm cought in the sea a perfume and sweet talk she's temptin' me
Somebody save me I'm falling in love with a beautiful angel that fell from above
Throw me a life line I'm cought in the sea a perfume and sweet talk she's temptin' me
Somebody help me I'm tumblin' through space
And a million bright stars I see all picture her face
[ piano ]
Throw me a life line...

JUST ANOTHER LONELY NIGHT
(Bettie Husky)
« © '64 Husky Music, BMI »
Just another lonely night
An ashtray filled with cigarettes but none with lipstick stains
A secret place where lovers met but never will again
I hate to sit here all alone with blues for company
But I'll just stay here by the phone in case you call for me
Just another lonely night just another lonely night
The coffee's cold and heartaches call oh why can't it be you
Please don't let this be the end of the love that we once knew
I can't believe that you won't call so I'll just sit and wait
My foolish heart keeps telling me she's just a little late
Just another lonely night just another lonely night

FACE OF A CLOWN
(Carolyn Penick)
« © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
It's hard for me to smile I feel like crying yet I always manage to grin
Friends won't know the pain that I feel or know the misery I'm in
Everyone thinks I'm happy for I smile and never frown
But looks are deceiving and nobody knows the hurt behind the face of a clown
I've got a little pride my tears I'll hide whenever you're around
You'll never know you hurt me so for I have a face of a clown
I'll try to conceal the pain I feel I won't let it get me down
You won't have a pleasure of knowin' the hurt behind the face of a clown
The hurt behind the face of a clown

LOVE LOOKS GOOD ON YOU
(Jerry Shook)
« © '64 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I've never seen that look in your eyes before
I've never seen that smile on your lips before
I guess I never knew what true love could do but love sure looks good on you
I can tell he's been more than good to you
He's done more than I ever hoped to do
He's given you that look that I wanted to and love sure looks good on you
I thought I had loved you but I see I was wrong
Now I know that in his arms is where you belong
It's been a long long time since I've seen you
And I've missed you much more than I wanted to
So I guess I'd better go before I let it show
One more thing love looks good on you love sure looks good on you

WHO'S NEXT
(Carolyn Penick)
« © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
(Who's next to be who's next to me to be the first on your list)
I was the first one to hold you in my arms
I was the first one to capture all your charms
I was the first one to ever make you fall
You were playin' a game with my love to shame and I wasn't the first one at all
So who's next to take my place who's next to share your embrace
Who's next to kiss your lips
Who's next to be who's next to me to be the first on your list
[ guitar ]
The people they told me what you would put me through
But I wouldn't listen I thought your love was true
Now I know better it's plain for me to see
After you took my heart and broke it apart you really didn't love me
So who's next to take my place...
Who's next to take my place...
Who's next to take my place...

BLACK SHEEP
(Jack Rhodes - Ferlin Husky)
« © '64 Central Songs, BMI »
(Black sheep black sheep)
This world holds many misteries that I don't understand
One is why the wanderlust is born in the heart of a man
I kissed young lips that thrilled me so and set my soul on fire
I'm a black sheep boy and I just can't find the lips my heart desire
Black sheep (black sheep) black sheep (black sheep)
Why do I have to roam why can't I have a happy heart like other guys I've known
This wanderlust in my hungry heart keeps me on the road
I'm a black sheep boy there's a lot more oats that we've gotta sow
Black sheep (black sheep) black sheep (black sheep)
I've known life I've tasted love from a girl that's true and sweet
She haunts me in my dreams at night and I can hardly sleep
I won her self fancy then but my wanderin' heart says no
Black sheep boy with lot more places we've gotta go
Black sheep (black sheep)...
I can hear my mama say as she sits there all alone
My black sheep boy is a coming back never more to roam
Black sheep (black sheep)...
Black sheep (black sheep) black sheep (black sheep) black sheep (black sheep)

IT SCARES ME
(Ferlin Husky)
« © '64 Husky Music, BMI »
There isn't anyone in this whole wide world I trust as much as I trust you my baby
But the thought of comin' home dear and find you've gone oh oh how it scares me
Though I have fate in you in everything you do
It scares me just to think how it would be
The thought of someone new making love to you oh oh how it scares me
[ guitar ]
Though I have fate in you...
Oh oh how it scares me
