RIGHT OR WRONG (I'LL BE WITH YOU)

(Wanda Jackson) « © '60 Combine Music, BMI »
Right or wrong I'll be with you I'll do what you ask me to
For I believe that I belong by your side right or wrong
Right or wrong it's gotta be always you always me
Won't you take me along to be with you right or wrong

If it's right for me to love you it can't be wrong for me to care
If you will say you love me my life with you I'll share
Right or wrong day by day oh my love all the way
For I believe that I belong by your side right or wrong

If it's right for me to love you...

WHY I'M WALKIN'

(Melvin Endsley - Stonewall Jackson) « © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
There's such an ache in this old heart that I ain't talkin'
The little hand that held mine tight just waved goodbye tonight
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'

With an old love on your mind life's ain't worth livin'
I breathe your name with every breath I'm breathin'
Why could I never see how much you meant to me
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
[ guitar - piano ] Should I pass you on the street and I miss speakin'
Would you charge it to this mem'ries that I'm keepin'
Should my head be bowed low hear my song and then you'll know
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'

SO SOON

(Mel Tillis - Wayne P.Walker) « © '59 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
You promised love that never would end
But now you're gone and my heartaches begin
You tell me I'm no more than a friend
My darling have you forgotten so soon
[ guitar ] The sweet love we knew fell by the way
The tears from my eyes fall day after day
Recalling the time we were carefree and gay
My darling have you forgotten so soon
My darling have you forgotten so soon

LAST LETTER

(Rex Griffin) « © '39 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Why must you treat me as if I were only a friend
What have I done that's made you so different and cold
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy when you are withered and old

I cannot offer you diamonds or mansions so fine
I cannot offer you clothes that your young body crave
But if you'll say that forever that you will be mine
Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow you'll save

When you are weary and tired of another one's gold
When you are lonely remember this letter my own
Don't try to answer though I've suffered anguish untold
If you don't love me I wish you would leave me alone

While I am writing this letter I think of the past
And of the promises that you are breaking so free
But soon I'll bid my farewells to this whole world at last
I will be gone when you read this last letter from me

I MAY NEVER GET TO HEAVEN

(Bill Anderson - Buddy Killen) « © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I walked with you and talked with you and held your loving hand
We loved awhile I lived awhile and thought that fate had it planned

Then someone stole my angel and I lost what I loved most
I may never get to heaven but I once came mighty close

I may never play a golden harp or spread celestian wings
Or walk a golden staircase while the distant chorus sings

Oh but I once held your sweet love and felt your tender touch
I may never get to heaven but I didn't miss it much
I may never get to heaven but I didn't miss it much

WINDOW UP ABOVE

(George Jones) « © '60 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI /
Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds're gathering and the storm will wreck our home
But last night you held her tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I was 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
[ guitar ] From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to her softly that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope she makes you happy and you'll never lose her love
I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above

Yes I hope she makes you happy...

STICKS AND STONES

(Henry Glover - Titus Turner) « © '61 Tangerine Music, BMI »
People talkin' tryin' to break us up why won't they let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones but talk don't bother me
People talkin' tryin' to break us up when they know I love you so
So I don't care what the people may say I'll never never let you go

I've been abused in my heart and soul
I've been abused and abused and abused and I've been stung
People talkin' tryin' to break us up and they're scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad yes anything to make me shame
[ piano ] I've been abused in my heart and soul...
Oh yes I know don't you know it too
Yes I know it don't you know it too

STUPID CUPID

(Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka) « © '58 Longitude Music, BMI »
Stupid Cupid you're a real mean guy
I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly
I'm in love and it's a cryin' shame
And I know that you're the one to blame
So hey hey set me free stupid Cupid stop pickin' on me

I can't do my homework and I can't see straight
I meet him every mornin' bout a half past eight
I'm actin' like a lovesick fool
You've even got me carryin' his books to school
So hey hey set me free stupid Cupid stop pickin' on me

You mixed me up for good right from the very start
Hey go play Robin Hood with somebody else's heart

You've got me jumpin' like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what you're puttin' down
Since I kissed his lovin' lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine
So hey hey set me free stupid Cupid stop pickin' on me
[ guitar ] You mixed me up for good...
You've got me jumpin' like a crazy clown...

BROWN EYED HANDSOME MAN

(Chuck Berry) « © '56 Arc Music, BMI »
Well I arrested on charges of unemployment and he was sittin' on the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney said free that brown eyed man
If you want your job you better free that brown eyed man

Now beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother said darlin' go out and find yourself a brown eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy was a brown eyed handsome man
[ guitar ] Well a Milo de Venus was a beautiful lass she had the world in the palm of her hand
Oh but she lost both her arms in a wrestlin' match to win a brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

I was flyin' cross the desert in a TWA I saw a woman walking cross the sand
She walked thirty miles on route to LA to meet a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
[ guitar ] Now a two three to count nobody own he had a high fly into the stand
Round in thirty comin' in for home it was a brown eyed handsome man
It was the trouble was a brown eyed handsome man
It was a brown eyed handsome man it was a brown eyed handsome man

WHO SHOT SAM

(George Jones - Darrell Edwards - Ray Jackson) « © '61 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Well I met Sammy Samson down in New Orleans
He had a lot of money and a long limousine
He took us honky tonkin' on a Saturday night
We met Silly Milly everything was all right
Her eyes started rollin' we should a went a bowlin'
Wham-bam who shot Sam my-my

Now Sam and Silly Milly bout a half past four
Were rockin' and a rollin' 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 a 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
[ guitar ] Now 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 a fire chief highway patrol...
