Gonna have fun tonight gonna get right tonight
Everything will be alright because tonight is Saturday night (hey) [ guitar ]
There's music and a dancin' and a flirtin' and fun
It's gonna go on until way past one
I'm a gonna go where the lights are bright
I've got five dollars and it's Saturday night
Gonna have fun tonight... [ fiddle ]
Well other folks worry what the future may bring
Just to sit and worry won't get you a thing
My pants are ragged but that's alright
I've got five dollars and it's Saturday night
How many arms have held you and hated to let you go
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
How many lips have kissed you and set your soul aglow
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
So always make me wonder always make me guess
And even if I ask you darling don't confess
Yes just let it remain me your secret but darling I love you so
No wonder no wonder I wonder no I really don't want to know
**********
I know I should laugh and call it a day
But I know I would cry if you went away
I'm a fool to care when you don't care for me
Why should I pretend I'll lose in the end I'm a fool to care
(I know I should laugh and call it a day
But I know I would cry if you went away)
I'm a fool to care when you don't care for me
Why should I pretend I'll lose in the end I'm a fool to care
**********
And my arms keep reaching for you my eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you and my shoes keep walking back to you [ fiddle ]
No matter how much I pretend I wish I had you back again
For nothing else means half as much as you
My world just seemed to die the day you said goodbye
And I can't forget no matter what I do
And my arms keep reaching for you...
And my shoes keep walking back to you
**********
The reason we've not called the family reunion we knew that she wouldn't be there
But since we've thought it all over mama we know that your spirit is there
No no I can't forget the hours
You're the onliest one mom and sweeter than the flowers
No no there's no need to bother it's because you now would only hurt father
It looks so good to see us together but I had to look after dad
Oh mama when I passed by your coffin I didn't want to remember you dead
They all gathered round I stared at their faces all heads were bowed mighty low
But that was one time we all had to face it it hurt us so bad you know
You looked so sweet we all were together brother and I close to dad
Oh mama when I passed by your coffin I didn't want to remember you dead
No no I can't forget the hours...
Oh no momma we'll never forget you and someday we'll meet you up there
**********
I wonder where you are tonight my love
These mem'ries of you just started now
My arms are cold while you hold someone new
And I'm wearing my heart away for you
I'm wearing my heart away for you
It cries out loud my love is true
And though my darling if you'd only knew
I'm wearing my heart away for you
One has my name the other has my heart
With one I'll remain that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied to the other I am true
One has my love the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living my life's just the same
Till one has my heart the other has my name [ piano ]
(So I'll go on living my life's just the same
Till one has my heart the other has my name)
If I could live over my life I would change
The one who has my heart would also have my name
**********
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream
Somebody threw a baseball through my window
And the arm fell off my favorite chair again
Some man called me today and said he'd haul my things away
If I didn't get my payments ten by ten
Things have gone to pieces since you left me...
**********
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
That's left me for somebody new
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
And that's why I'm feeling so blue [ ac.guitar ]
Why did you turn up again I was doing fine
I'd found another sweetheart to drive you from my mind
I thought that I'd forgotten you but I know that it's not true
Or else you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do
Don't rob another man's castle don't take his darling away
Strange as it seems when you steal a man's dreams
You'll never know how much you'll pay
So don't rob a man of his sunshine you'll break his heart don't you see
I robbed another man's castle now someone just stole her from me
**********
Born to lose it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face an empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
