ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE

(George Jones - Darrell Edwards) « © '59 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI /

In the paper 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've married
Accidentaly on purpose for spite

For you say you're sorry I'm painting 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 you're sorry...

WINDOW UP ABOVE

(George Jones) « © '60 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI /

I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds are gatherin' and the storm will wreck our home
For last night he hugged you tightly and you didn't even shove
But I was wrong for I've been watching (watching you) from the window up above

You must have thought that I was sleeping and I wish that I had been
But I guess it's best to know you and the way your heart can spin
I thought we belonged together and our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I've been watching (watching you) from the window up above
[ steel ] From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
I heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope he makes you happy and you will never lose his love
I was wrong for I've been watching (watching you) from the window up above

How I wished I could be dreaming and wake up to the love that's true
I was wrong for I've been watching (watching you) from the window up above

TENDER YEARS

(Darrell Edwards) « © '61 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
You keep saying you love him I believe that it's true
And it just doesn't matter how much I love you
But in time you'll understand dear when you shed a tear
Then you'll know you were living in your tender years

In your eyes there's a love light that shines for him
But how long will it stay there will that love light grows dim
You can just see the happiness you can't see the tears
It's true cause you're living in your tender years
[ piano ] So if I can't be your first love I'll wait and be your last
I'll be somewhere in your future to help you forget the past

And you'll know that I love you with the love that's sincere
For I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years
Yes you'll know that I love you with the love that's sincere
Yes I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years

TIME LOCK

(Joe Carson) « © '59 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
The door to my heart locked when you walk out on me
You sealed it with a time lock to be locked eternaly
You thought it's locked forever and I could never love anew
But today must be forever cause the light is shining through

And now the time lock has opened up the door to my heart
The seal you thought was so secure has shattered all apart
My heart has struck the lock and kept this hurt lock before you
And now sombody else is broken the time lock falling through
[ steel ] When you sealed the time lock you locked my heart up tight
Inside the heart it's cold and dark without a sparkling light
Another's love was strong enough to break the seal in two
This new love I feel is true and real at last I'm free from you

And now the time lock has opened...

TREASURE OF LOVE

(George Jones - J.P. Richardson) « © '58 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI /
Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Got a pocket full of pennies the heart full of gold
Though my troubles are many I have treasures untold
And the shack that I live in is a palace to me
Cause the treasure of love the treasure of love you gave to me

In this world there are riches that money can't buy
Like the treasure of true love a love that won't die
So don't have to worry what tomorrow will bring
The treasure of love the treasure of love makes me a king
[ fiddle ] Though my clothes are all tattered and I've seen that day
Know it really don't matter cause I'm rich another way
Yes my pockets are empty but still wealthy I'll be
With the treasure of love the treasure of love you gave to me

SHE THINKS I STILL CARE

(Dickey Lee - Steve Duffy) « © '62 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care

But if she's happy thinking I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Oh where would she get such an idea

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just bacause I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care she thinks I still care

WHITE LIGHTNING

(J.P. Richardson) « © '58 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI /
Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Well down in Houston Texas way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightning till the sun went down
He fill him a jug and he pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew white lightning)

Well the G men T men revenoers too
Searching for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin' tryin' to book him but my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew white lightning)
[ piano ] Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
My eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Light was started flashin' sun was gonna clashin'
(Whew white lightning)

Well the G men T men...
[ fiddle ] Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I'm gonna taste that powerful stuff
He took one slug and he drank it on down
I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasing' my pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew white lightning)

Well the G men T men...

TALK TO ME LONESOME HEART

(James O'Gwynn) « © '61 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Talk to me ol' lonesome heart help me through this lonely night
Lie to me and tell me everything's all right
Talk to me ol' lonesome heart help me through my darkest gloom
Help me bring her mem'ry to this lonely room

Talk to me and let me cry the whole life through
You have lost but I've lost as well as you
So talk to me ol' lonesome heart help me through this lonely night
Lie to me and tell me everything's all right
[ steel ] Talk to me ol' lonesome heart talk about the love I miss
Talk to me about the lips I used to kiss
Tell me how she used to smile just before she said goodbye
Talk to me ol' lonesome heart why I cry

Talk to me and let me cry...

WHEN MY HEART HURTS NO MORE

(Darrell Edwards - Helen Cross) « © '62 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
When my heart hurts no more and the flame's just an ember
Love that I begged you for I won't even remember
I'll be no weeping willow when I'll learn the score
No more tears on my pillow when my heart hurts no more

When my heart hurts no more that's what I'm longing for
To be free from your spell that was waltzin' so well
I won't have to keep wonderin' what I'm living for
I won't be at your mercy when my heart hurts no more
[ steel ] When my heart hurts no more that's what I'm longing for
But at last I'll be free from your memory
I won't have to keep wonderin' what I'm living for
I won't be at your mercy when my heart hurts no more

POOR MAN'S RICHES

(Benny Barnes - Dee Marais) « © '61 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Oh well I've traveled to the ends of the rainbow
And I'd looked for that old pot of gold
But I didn't realize until I looked into your eyes
That I had a greater wealth than ever told

Into each life there's many kinds of riches
Well there's diamonds there's pearls and there's gold
But I'd be the richest man in this wonderful land
If I had you to have and to hold
[ strings ] Well a true love's the greatest of all riches
A true love will never grow cold
A real love is all that really matters
For it's worth more than diamonds pearls and gold

Well into each life there's many kinds of riches...

Yes I'd be the richest man in this wonderful land
If I had you to have and to hold
