WINDOW UP ABOVE

(George Jones) « © '60 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But I can the clouds are gathering and the storm will wreck our home
For last night he hugged you tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching from the window up above

You must have thought I was sleeping and I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
I thought we belonged together and our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I was watching from the window up above
[ piano ] From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope he makes you happy and you'll never lose his love
I lost mine my eye was watching from the window up above
How I wished I'd be dreaming and wake up to a love that's true
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above

SWEET DREAMS

(Don Gibson) « © '55 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Sweet dreams of you every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

You don't love me it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
[ steel ] Sweet dreams of you dreams I know can't come true
Why can't I forget you and start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

ACCIDENTALY ON PURPOSE

(George Jones - Darrell Edwards) « © '59 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
In the papers I saw you this morning
You were lovely dressed in your wedding gown
And it said you would marry a stranger to me
That had drifted into our old hometown

Accidentaly you've met him one evening
And you say it was love at first sight
Accidentaly on purpose you're marrying
Accidentaly on purpose for spite

For you say that you saw me out paiting the town
That I was just a fool with a heart of a clown
Accidentaly you were mistaken that night
Accidentaly on purpose for spite

Yes you say that you saw me out paiting the town...

WHO SHOT SAM

(George Jones - Darrell Edwards - Ray Jackson) « © '59 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Well I met Sammy Samson down in New Orleans
He had a lot of money and a big limousine
He took us honky tonkin' on a Saturday night
We met Silly Milly everything was all right
Her eyes started rollin' we should went a bowlin'
Wham-bam who shot Sam my-my

Well Sam and Silly Milly bout a quarter to four
Were rompin' and a stompin' on the hardwood floor
Then flirty-girlie barged in on the fun
Silly Milly got jealous and she pulled out a gun
Tables started crashin' fourty-four's a flashin'
Wham-bam who shot Sam my-my

Well the police the fire chief highway patrol
Knockin' down the front door with a big long pole
Sammy was a lyin' on the cold cold floor
Shot through the middle with a fourty-four
Milly was a cryin' Sam was surely dyin'
Wham-bam who shot Sam my-my
[ piano ] Well they took Silly Milly to the jail downtown
Booked Silly Milly for a shootin' old Sam
The judge he gave her twenty Milly said that's a lot
You shouldn't give me nothing he's already half shot
A drinkin' white lightnin' started all the fightin'
Wham-bam who shot Sam my-my

Well the police the fire chief highway patrol...

YES I KNOW WHY (I WANT TO CRY)

(Webb Pierce) « © '54 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Yes I know why I wanna cry it's over you
And I'm paintin' the town feelin' blue
Should you ever love one that's untrue
Then you'll know know why I wanna cry it's over you

Well I tried you all over again
And you just lied all over again
Yes I'm asking for heartaches anew
Yes I know why I wanna cry it's over you

Well I tried you all over again
And you just lied all over again
Should you ever love one that's untrue
Yes I know why I wanna cry it's over you
Yes I know why I wanna cry it's over you

WASTED WORDS

(George Jones) « © '59 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
The wasted words about an old love affair
You don't love me you don't care

I tried so hard to forget the thing that used to be
Bit it's so easy to remember a few old memories
Just when I think I'm doing fine someone speaks your name
And I have to talk about though I know it's all in vain

The wasted words about an old love affair...
[ steel ] An old friend tries to tell me that I shouldn't feel so blue
But that old friend he just don't know the love I have for you
Forget the past and have some fun go out with someone new
But it's so hard tuen the pages when I know no one but you

The wasted words about an old love affair...

I TAKE THE CHANCE

(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin) « © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I take the chance to lose my soul my life my pride
I take the chance to be with you

I've tried to live my life the best I can
I've prayed I'd never cheat to heed my heart's command
But dear you know to one I've been untrue
I wonder if you think I'd do the same by you

I take the chance of causing you to doubt my love
I take the chance to be with you
[ steel - fiddle ] I know it's wrong for us to steal a kiss
And when you hold me in your arms I can't resist
I have a home and someone kind and true
I know I'd lose it all if I was seen with you

I take the chance to lose my soul my life my pride
I take the chance to be with you

ANY OLD TIME

(Jimmie Rodgers) « © '29 Peer International, BMI »
Any old time you wanna come back home
Drive me a line I'm so lonesome since you're gone
I had my chance I play the game unfair
But when you left me sweetheart I never thought I'd really care

Now that you're gone I don't know what to do
Won't you please come back cause I'm still in love with you
You'll find me here like the day you left me alone
Any old time you wanna come back home
[ fiddle ] You'll find me here like the day you left me alone
Any old time you wanna come back home

HEARTBREAK HOTEL

(Mae Boren Axton - Tommy Durden - Elvis Presley) « © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well since my baby left me found a new place to dwell
Down at the end on Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel
Oh well the I'd be so lonely baby I'd be so lonely
I'd be so lonely I could die

And though it's always crowded you can still find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry there in the gloom
Oh well the I'd be so lonely baby I'd be so lonely
I'd be so lonely I could die
[ guitar - piano ]
Well the bellhop's tears keep flowing the deskclerk's dressed in black
They've been so long on Lonely Street they never never last
Till they left me so lonely baby left me so lonely
Left me so lonely I could die

So if your baby leaves and you have a tale to tell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel
Where you'll be so lonely baby you'll be so lonely
I'll be so lonely I could die

GO AWAY WITH ME

(Dan Welch) « © '59 Lowery Music, BMI »
Go go go away with me mhm

Far from his heart and eyes I can love you and you'll realize
That your life holds so much in store
When you wanted and loved and adored

Go go go away with me and I know you soon will forget
His false love that's haunting your memories
Go and you'll never regret
[ guitar ] You're his plaything and nothing more
He will hurt you he's done it before
Then you'll cry out cry out in vain
For his heart to go wondering again

Go go go away with me...
Go away with me mhm
