ONE IS A LONELY NUMBER

(George Jones) « © '60 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
One is a lonely number one can never have fun
When I met you I thought I lost the blues
But now I find that I'm back in that same old boat again
One is a none happy number why do you always make me wait
One and one makes two that's why I need you
One is a lonely lonely number
[ fiddle ] One is a lonely number one is always alone
When I met you I thought I lost the blues
Now I find that I'm back in that same old boat again
One is a none happy number so why do you always make me wait
One and one makes two that's why I need you
One is a lonely lonely number

RUN BOY

(Hy Heath) « © '60 Milene Music, ASCAP »
So you and your true love have parted
And you've left her all alone
Don't hesitate untill it's too late
Just say that the fault was your own

Run boy as fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you
Tell her your sorry you had to part
And don't break her heart in two

She needs your love now more than never
For she's all alone and blue
Don't fill her life with sorrow and strife
Go back and start over anew

Run boy as fast as you can...
[ fiddle ] Go back and ask her to forgive you
For doubting her love so true
Don't be ashamed to say that you're to blame
Her arms are still yearning for you

Run boy as fast as you can...

I'M A ONE WOMAN MAN

(Johnny Horton - Tillman Franks) « © '56 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
If you told me that you love me I would feel so proud
If you let me hold you honey I'd holler out loud
I'll never love another even if I can
Oh come to me baby I'm a one woman man

Won't you let me baby just kinda hang around
I'll always love you honey and I'll never let you down
I'll never love another even if I can
Oh come to me baby I'm a one woman man
[ guitar ] I'd climb the highest mountain if it reached up to the sky
To prove that I love you I would jump off and fly
I'd even swim the ocean from shore to shore
To prove that I love you just a little bit more

Won't you let me baby just kinda hang around...
[ guitar ] Won't you let me baby just kinda hang around...

HEARTBROKEN ME

(Red Hayes - Irvin Russ) « © '60 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Heartbroken me lonesome as can be
Heartbroken sad and so blue
Lonesome for your charms and your loving arms
Heartbroken cause I'm losing you

Most every night I lie awake just crying cause we're through
I'd give the world if I could hear that you've been crying too
Heartbroken me lonesome as can be
Heartbroken cause I'm losing you
[ fiddle ] Heartbroken me lonesome as can be...
Most every night I lie awake...

FROZEN HEART

(George Jones - Yancey) « © '60 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Frozen heart that's standing all alone
Chilled because your love forgever's gone
Needing you like a cold hand needs a glove
Take my heart and warm it with your love

I can't count the times I've hid my face
Crying just to be in your warm embrace
The winter of your love is falling at my door
Since you said I don't wanna love you anymore
[ fiddle - steel ] Frozen heart that's standing all alone
Chilled because your love forgever's gone
I'm needing you like a cold hand needs a glove
Take my heart and won't you warm it with your love

I'VE GOT FIVE DOLLARS AND IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT

(Ted Daffan) « © '50 Peer International, BMI »
(Hey) well I've been working hard the whole week long
And now I'm a gonna have some wine women and song
I got a work next week but that's alright
I've got five dollars and it's Saturday night

The music and dancin' flirtin' and fun
It's gonna go on till way past one
I'm a gonna go where the lights are bright
I've got five dollars and it's Saturday night

I'm gonna have fun tonight gonna get right tonight
Everything will be alright cause tonight is Saturday night (hey)

Well other folks worry what the future may bring
I'm a gonna have fun and feel no pain
My pants are ragged but that's alright
I've got five dollars and it's Saturday night
[ steel - fiddle ] The music and dancin' flirtin' and fun...

I'm gonna have fun tonight gonna get right tonight
Everything will be just right cause tonight is Saturday night (hey)
Well other folks worry what the future may bring...

CAUSE I LOVE YOU

(Webb Pierce - Danny Dill) « © '54 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I've had my fun a runnin' round but now I wanna settle down
There's nothing I won't do to be with you
I'm gonna start this very day yes I'm gonna change my way
There's nothing I won't do cause I love you

I get up dear to set you free on you I have no claim
But now I see that you're for me won't you please take back my name
I'm gonna start this very day yes I'm gonna change my way
There's nothing I won't do cause I love you
[ fiddle - steel ] I get up dear to set you free...

YOU'RE IN MY HEART

(George Jones) « © '60 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Please believe me when I say I can only feel one way
Every minute of the day you're in my heart
As I go down life's highway every night and every day
Please believe me when I say you're in my heart

Nothing dear could change my mind
You're in my heart to stay dear all the time
There will never in this world ever be a sweeter girl
Please believe me when I say you're in my heart
[ steel - fiddle ] Nothing dear could change my mind...
