BLUES IN MY HEART

(Jenny Lou Carson - Red Foley) « © '57 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Blues in my heart oh how it aches
Nobody knows the sorrow it takes
I should have known right from the start
You'd leave me with these blues in my heart

Blues in my heart blue over you
Never believed you'd be so untrue
What can I do what can I say
Blues in my heart has got me this way
[ strings ] Oh everything's wrong since we're apart
I wish I could lose these blues in my heart

LONELY STREET

(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson - Kenny Sowder) « © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Where's this place called Lonely Street

I'm looking for that Lonely Street
I've got a sad sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called Lonely Street

A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street

Perhaps upon this Lonely Street there's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams and watch an old love die

If I could find that Lonely Street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street
Where's this place called Lonely Street

MIDNIGHT

(Boudleaux Bryant - Chet Atkins) « © '51 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Midnight I've spent another lonely day thinking of you
Midnight tomorrow is on its way empty and blue
I'm so lonely so lonely at midnight for you

Midnight oh what a lonely time to weep I ought to know
Midnight I should have been fast asleep hours ago
Still I'm crying I'm crying cause I miss you so
[ guitar ] Midnight I've spent another lonely day....

WEARY BLUES FROM WAITIN'

(Hank Williams) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
The snow falls round my window but it can't chill my heart
God knows it died the day you left my dream world fell apart

The weary blues from waitin' Lord I've been a waitin' so long
These blues have got me cryin' oh sweet daddy please come home
[ guitar ] Through tears I watch young lovers as they go strolling by
Oh all the things that might have been God forgive me if I cry

The weary blues from waitin'...

I'M WAITING JUST FOR YOU

(Hary Glover - Carolyn Leigh - Lucky Millinder) « © '51 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
You have to leave me all by myself dear
And I've been crying the whole night through
But I've been telling everybody I'm waitin' just for you

Your friends are trying so hard to tempt me
There's no use trying cause I'll be true
And darling you don't have to worry nobody else will do
[ guitar ] I know this waitin' can drive me crazy
Don't mind this waitin' it's nothing new
For I'll be telling everybody I'm waitin' just for you

Maybe a long time before I see you
So we can do what we used to do
But I'll be telling everybody I'm waitin' just for you

OH LONESOME ME

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home having none
I can't get over how he set me free oh lonesome me

Well a bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me

Well I'll bet he's not like me he's out and fancy free
A flirtin' with the girls with all his charms
But I still love him so and brother don't you know
Well I'd welcome him right back here in my arms

Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me
[ guitar ] Well I'll bet he's not like me...
Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me

BLUES STAY AWAY FROM ME

(Alton Delmore - Wayne Raney - Henry Glover) « © '49 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Blues stay away from me blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why you keep on haunting me
Love was never meant for me true love was never meant for me
Seems somehow we never can agree
[ guitar ] Life is full of misery dreams are like a memory
Bringing back your love that used to be
Tears so many I can't see years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by and still I can't be free

WORRIED MIND

(Ted Daffan - Jimmie Davis) « © '41 Peer International, BMI »
You've promised me love that would never die
That promise you've made was only a lie
Now after you've gone all alone I'll pine
For all that I've got is a worried mind

When I was down you've just left me there
I needed you so oh but you didn't care
You've found a new love and a home so fine
But all that I've got is a worried mind

(You've promised me love) you've promised me love
(That would never die) that would never die
(That primise you've made) that promise you've made
(Was only a lie) was only a lie
Now after you've gone all alone I'll pine
For all that I've got is a worried mind
(Is a worried mind)

JUST FOR YOU

(Harlan Howard) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I gave up all my friends just for you
When you were busy I stayed in just for you
Paid no mind to mom and dad when they said you'll turn out bad
I gave up everything I have just for you

I saved every single dance just for you
Never gave no one else a glance just for you
I gave my all so lovingly and all that you gave me
Was a broken heart that's crying just for you

I gave my lips I gave my pride and now there's nothing nothing left inside
I gave so much with no return I guess my heart will never learn
Cause I still waste and I still yearn just for you

I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY

(Hank Williams) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry
[ strings ] (I'm so lonesome I could cry)

Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry

NIGHT LIFE

(Willie Nelson - Paul Buskirk - Walt Breeland) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI / Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
When the evening sun goes down you will find me hanging round
Oh the night life ain't no good life but it's my life
Many people just like me dreaming of old used-to-be
Yeah the night life it ain't no good life but it's my life

Yeah listen to the blues they're playin'
Yeah listen to what those blues are sayin'
Mine is just another scene from the world of broken dreams
Yeah the night life it ain't no good life but it's my life

SINGING THE BLUES

(Melvin Endsley) « © '55 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I never felt more like singing the blues
Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear why'd you do me this way
I never felt more like crying all night Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you you got me singing the blues

The moon and stars no longer shine the dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry over you
I never felt more like running away but why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you got me singing the blues
[ guitar ] I never felt more like singing the blues...
