YES VIRGINIA

(Liz Anderson) « © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I've been telling you there's someone else Virginia
You're not listening and this time I think you should
But you've never cared for me have you Virginia
So you just can't see how anybody could

Yes Virginia there is another woman
And she loves me like I used to wish you'd do
Yes Virginia there is another woman
Now I need her more than I ever needed you

I have never measured up to what you've wanted
I'm through trying now I know I never can
That's the reason why I love her so Virginia
She accepts me just exactly like I am

Yes Virginia there is another woman...

Dream baby help me stop my dreamin' you make my dreams come true

Sweet dream babby...
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams...

YOU BEAT ALL I EVER SAW

(Johnny Cash) « © '66 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP »
I've walked through many towns with fortunes lost and found
Seen the beauty of this land made by nature and by men
But when I leave I don't look back for I've only left my tracks
I've crossed burning bridges walked through miles of sand
Seen the lawlest in the law you beat all I ever saw
[ guitar ] I've dreamed a million miles about your eyes and smiles
I know I've loved the best I can't be content with last
I've scanned the skies of blue for just one glimpse of you
But they threw away the mold of a love that's grown so cold
Your heart would never thought you beat all I ever saw

SHE LOVES ME (SHE DON'T LOVE YOU)

(Nickey Jaco) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well now I can see you're dancin' every dance with her
And it seems to me you're dancin' much too close to her
When you sat at our table you sat next to her
But I know that it's true she loves me she don't love you

Well let me tell you friend I'm wise to your lies
Even tellin' me that I'm the guy for her
And if a little thing you do and say has given you away
You're in love with her

Well just one more dance with her and friend you're gonna see
Oh what it's like to hit the floor and do a little dance with me
Here's your coat there's the door I think you better leave
Cause she just told me it's true she loves me she don't love you
[ guitar ] Well let me tell you friend...
Well just one more dance with her...

IT'S ALL OVER NOW

(Bobby Womack - Shirley Jean Womack) « © '65 ABKCO Music, BMI »
Well my baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry she done me wrong
Come home each morning telling me them same old lies
But now table has turned and it's her turn to cry

Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Oh yes I used to love her but it's all over now

Well she started running round with every man in town
Spending all my money playing a high class game
She would never change no matter how I tried
But the table has turned and it's her turn to cry

Because I used to love her...

I used to wake up in the morning get my breakfast in bed
When I was worried she would ease my aching head
Now she's here and there with every guy in town
Still tryin' to take me for that same old clown

Because I used to love her...

BORN TO LOVE YOU

(Woody Starr) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Born to love only you
Destined to die alone without you
Knowing my dreams can never come true
Yet knowing that I was born to love you

Night after night longing for you
Living a life built around you
Knowing my dreams can never come true
Yet knowing that I was born to love you
[ ac.guitar ] Knowing my dreams can never come true
Yet knowing that I was born to love you

DOWN CAME THE WORLD

(Waylon Jennings - Bozo Darnell) « © '65 Freeway Music, BMI »
Down down down came the world
I went round round round in a whirl
I built every dream around one girl
Then down down down came the world

She must have loved a little just to keep me hanging on
How could lips that kiss so sweet lie and be so wrong
Our love was just a pattern of the perfect boy and girl
The only dream I own in this world

Then down down down came the world...
I built every dream around one girl...
Down down down came the world

DARK SIDE OF FAME

(Ted Harris) « © '65 Plainspoken Music, ASCAP »
Just a kid with a song when he wandered from home
In search of the phantom of fame
She promised she'd wait but he got back too late
Just a scene from the dark side of fame

In the wrong frame of mind he took to the wine
Holding pieces of love's broken chain
It was colder than jade in this world that he'd made
All alone on the dark side of fame

His songs were soon curled on the lips of the world
They'd earned him the highest of claim
And yet his greatest desire was the simple warmth of love's fire
Cause it's cold on the dark side of fame

The wine took its toll and soon he grew old
Much younger than most people do
But there's no trace of shame in the sound of his name
Though he lived on the dark side of fame
He lived on the dark side of fame

JOHN'S BACK IN TOWN

(Waylon Jennings - Bill Mack) « © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
John does some singin' they call him a star
He plays with a hillbilly band
He goes lots of places picks his guitar
Old John ain't a home lovin' man
John's got a woman he calls her his queen
He buys her them city made clothes
And she's bout the sweetest that I've ever seen
There is someting that John never knows

When John is out croonin' I'm out with his queen
Passin' his money around
But if you look for me and I can't be seen
You'll know that John's back in town
[ guitar ] When John's out a tourin' I wear his best suits
Smoke up his four-bit cigars
I lie with his woman wear out his boots
Chauffer his limousine cars
When John's making money he keeps on the go
So if you should hear he's around
Buy one of his records or go see his show
Help me keep old John out of town

When John is out croonin' I'm out with his queen
Passin' his money around
But if you look for me and I can't be seen
You can figure that John's back in town

LISTEN THEY'RE PLAYING MY SONG

(Charlie Williams - Glen Garrison) « © '66 Central Songs, BMI »
Down the street a baby just cried
When he woke up all alone
A train's leavin' town and that lonesome old sound
Is chilling me right to the bone

A song is playing I can barely hear
About a love that's gone wrong
The freezing rain on my window pane
Listen they're playing my song

Taps being played by a soldier's grave
So sad it torments your soul
Just listen to that north wind moan
Tonight it's so dark and cold

Somewhere a siren cuts through the night
Sounds like a whole world's gone wrong
Thunder just warned but it's coming a storm
Listen they're playing my song
