WRONG NUMBER

(George Jones - Dick Overbey)
« © '63 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
(Wrong number that's the second time today)

My fingers tremble as I slowly touch the phone
I dial your number not knowing if your own
It rings you answer with sweet hello
My heart beats loudly as the teardrops start to flow

I bite my lip until the blood runs free
And keep the words I love you hidden deep deep inside of me
I hang up wrong number I hear you tell your friend
But I just had to hear you talkin' once again
[ guitar ] And divisible was the word for you and me
But just one word in a just one moment will change happiness into misery
You hang up again and I know what you will say
Wrong number that's the second time today
Wrong number that's the second time today

I GET LONELY IN A HURRY

(George Jones - Johnny Mathis - Virginia Franks)
« © '63 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Well I get lonely in a hurry if you left for a minute
I go crazy inside while you were gone
Yes I get lonely in a hurry if you left for another
I don't think I could take it very long

There would be so many little teardrops fall
I don't think that I could count them all
And I know a heart could never ache like mine
If I couldn't love you all the time

Cause I get lonely in a hurry...
[ guitar ] If you ever took your love away from me I'd die
I don't think that I doubt million memories
And for sure I know that I would lose my mind
If I couldn't love you all the time

Cause I get lonely in a hurry...
I don't think I could take it very long

LONESOME LIFE

(George Jones - George Riddle)
« © '63 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
(Have pity on me please oh won't you lonesome life)

That's ended now old lonesome life it's for the best
I'm tired inside and this old heart could use the rest
It might as well stop beating far as she's concerned
Inside I know there's not a chance that she'll return

Rid yourself off me I beg old lonesome life
And free me from all memories of her tonight
Unchain my heart and let the world turn out its light
Have pity on me please oh won't you lonesome life
(Have pity on me please oh won't you lonesome life)

Old lonesome life I've been through many things with you
Like sleepless nights and broken dreams and love untrue
You know I've searched my practice let's do what's right
And let me go from you I plead old lonesome life

Rid yourself off me I beg old lonesome life
And free me from all memories of her tonight
Unchain my heart and let the world turn out its light
Have pity on me please oh won't you lonesome life
Have pity on me please oh won't you lonesome life

GIRL I USED TO KNOW

(Jack Clement)
« © '62 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI / Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
There's a picture that I carry
One we made some time ago
If they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just a girl I used to know

Just a girl I used to go around with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them how lost I am without her
I say she's just a girl I used to know
[ piano ] I say she's just another girl now
Just a flame that's lost its glow
And I say her name has slipped my mind now
And she's just a girl I used to know

Just a girl I used to spend some time with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't talk about the nights I cried about her
I say she's just a girl I used to know
Just a girl I used to know

GERONIMO

(Johnny Western)
« © '62 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
(Geronimo)

The pages of the history book can tell you of his fame
And the fear that struck the settlers at the mention of his name
And in Mexico they won't forget the vengence of this man
Who blazed the bloody battle trail and terrorized their land
Geronimo
He blazed the bloody battle trail and terrorized their land

Some call him a renegade and some call him a chief
Some call him a warrior and some call him a thief
But this Cherakowa redman rode straight and he rode tall
Apache brave and no one's slave he feared no man at all
Geronimo
Apache brave and no one's slave he feared no man at all

And no matter where you wander no matter where you go
His name will live forever the name Geronimo
Geronimo Geronimo Geronimo Geronimo

YOUR HEART TURNED LEFT

(Harlan Howard)
« © '63 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Your heart turned left and I was on the right
You couldn't have hurt me more with dynamite
Thought I was your desity but just before you got to me
Your heart turned left and I was on the right

I almost had the battle won what could I have said and done
To put you in another's arms tonight
I don't know where I lost out I just know without a doubt
Your heart turned left and I was on the right

Your heart turned left and I was on the right...
[ guitar ] Now my poor heart just moans and groans I walk around just kincking stones
Oh keep it sure won't get another light
Honey why'd you lead me on without a warning you were gone
Your heart turned left and I was on the right

Your heart turned left and I was on the right...

Yeah your heart turned left and I was on the right
Your heart turned left and I was on the right
Your heart turned left and I was on the right

SOMETHING I DREAMED

(Harlan Howard)
« © '63 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Forgive me if I'm pesimistic today
But I seem to feel our love slipping away
I have no special reason for feeling this way
It must have been something I dreamed

Darling hold me close and chase away the ghost that tortures me so
Kiss away my doubts until my poor heart shouts that you'll never go
This feeling's not your fault you're sweet as can be
I have faith in you I just like faith in me
I'm afraid that I'll lose you then worried I'll be be
Please let it be something I dreamed

Your words like conviction or do you suppose
That I love you too much and I listen too close
I know I'm too jealous and sometime it shows
So it must have been something I dreamed

Darling hold me close and chase away the ghost...

YOU COMB HER HAIR

(Harlan Howard - Hank Cochran)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I know that you're wondering who I dream about
And if I've met someone who thrills me so
Well I finally met a girl who turns me inside out
I'll tell you about her for you ought to know

You comb her hair every morning
And make sure she dresses just right
You comb her hair every morning
And put her to bed every night

When she's around me sometimes I can hardly speak
I stammer and I walk right into doors
And just to hold her hand in mine makes me feel weak
Oh you know her honey she's a friend of yours

You comb her hair every morning...

MY TEARS ARE OVERDUE

(Freddie Hart)
« © '64 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
(Just hang around my tears are overdue)

If you want to see somebody cry their heart out
For a love they lost and must live without
If you're not afraid of misery might revolve on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue

If you want to hear confessions from a broken man
Who once held a world of love right in his hands
If you wanna see a heartbreak right into the front of you
Just hang around my tears are overdue

Now there's not a way that I can say how much it really hurts
When a broken heart and guilty conscience start to worse

I hope you won't forget the sight you've seen today
Just remember love I had then threw away
If you're not afraid of misery might revolve on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue
Just hang around my tears are overdue

WORLD'S WORSE LOSER

(Autry Inman)
« © '63 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I've been called the world's worst loser
And I don't tell a moment that it's true
But I can't stop pretending I won't miss you
I'm the world's worst loser when I'm losing you

I may even cry when it's over
Or make fun of your somebody new
I'll hold on as long as I can because
I'm the world's worst loser when I'm losing you

I may even cry when it's over...
Yes I'm the world's worst loser when I'm losing you

NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND

(Jack Clement)
« © '62 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Just thought I'd have a little fun and paint the town
I always said someday I'll walk the line
But now she's gone and I'm the bluest guy around
And that's not exactly what I had in mind

I thought that I could play the field and be a clown
I broke the heart that loved me many times
Yes I know that I'm the biggest fool in town
And that's not exactly what I had in mind

I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand
I always meant to make it up in time
But now she's gone she hates the very sight of me
And that's not exactly what I had in mind
[ steel ] I told myself go play around you're young and free
Too late I found that I was oh so blind
I lost the love I never did feel sad at all
And that's not exactly what I had in mind
No that's not exactly what I had in mind

MAGIC VALLEY

(Merle Moore)
« © '62 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
I'm going home to Magic Valley where hate turns into love
I'm going home to Magic Valley leaving for my home above

Now don't you cry because I'm leaving for you see I've had my day
I've led the life that's not for grieving so rejoice with me and pray

For I hear my Lord telling me put down that heavy load
You'll reach your gold now follow me come on up the golden road
[ fiddle ] For I hear my Lord telling me...
