I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

(Don Gibson)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I can't stop loving you honey I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times
Yeah I can't stop wanting you it's so useless to say
I'm gonna live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago still Lord they're making me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
Let me tell you time has stood still stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you honey I've made up my mind...
[ piano ] Yeah I can't stop loving you honey I've made up my mind...

FRAULEIN

(Lawton Williams)
« © '56 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Far across the deep blue water lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old River Rhine
There I loved her and left her but I can't forget her
I miss my pretty Fraulein

Fraulein Fraulein look up toward the heavens
Each night when the stars start to shine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein

When the memories wander away over yonder
To the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory her face comes before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein

Fraulein Fraulein walk down by the river
Pretend that your hand's holding mine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein

HE'LL HAVE TO GO

(Joe Allison - Audrey Allison)
« © '59 Central Songs, BMI »
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

Whisper to me tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've gotta know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go

You can't say the words I wanna hear while you're with another man
Did you want me answer yes or no darling I'll understand

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone...

MORE AND MORE

(Merle Kilgore - Webb Pierce)
« © '54 Unart Catalog, BMI / Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
More and more I'm forgetting the past
More and more I'm living at last
Day by day I'm losing the blues
More and more I'm forgettin' bout you

But though how I tried to keep you by my side
And though how I cried the day you said goodbye
Day by day I'm losing my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' bout you
[ steel - fiddle ] But though how I tried to keep you by my side...

WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME

(Hank Williams)
« © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Why don't you love me like you used to do
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe
My hair's still curly and my eyes are blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do

Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer further closer than a country mile
Why don't you spark like you used to do
Say sweet nothings like you used to coo
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
Why don't you love me like you used to do

Why don't you be just like you used to be
How come you find so many faults with me
Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do

Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer further closer than a country mile
Why don't you say things you used to say
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay
My hair's still curly and my eyes are blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE NOW

(Floyd Tillman - Jimmie Davis)
« © '39 Peer International, BMI »
Makes no difference now what kind of life fate hands me
I'll get along without you now that's plain to see
I don't care what happens next for I'll get by somehow
I don't worry cause it makes no difference now

It was just one year ago when we first met dear
I learned to love you and I thought you loved me too
But that's all in the past sweetheart I'll forget somehow
I don't worry cause it makes no difference now
[ piano ] After all it's said and done I'll soon forget you
Although I know that it will be so hard to do
Let things happen as they will for I'll get by somehow
I don't worry cause it makes no difference now
[ yodel ] **********

PICK ME UP ON YOUR WAY DOWN

(Harlan Howard)
« © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You were mine for just a while now you're puttin' on the style
And you've never once looked back at your old home across the track
You're the gossip of the town but my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy but they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown pick me up on your way down
[ piano ] They have changed your attitude made you haughty and so rude
Your new friends can take the blame underneath you're still the same
When you've learned these things are true I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone...

ONE HAS MY NAME (THE OTHER HAS MY HEART)

(Eddie Dean - Dixie Dean - Hal Blair)
« © '48 Southern Music, ASCAP »
One has my name the other has my heart
With one I'll remain that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied to the other I am true

One has my love the other only me
But what good is love to an old heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living my life's just the same
While one has my heart the other has my name

One has my name the other has my heart...

I GET THE BLUES WHEN IT RAINS

(Marcy Klauber - Harry Stoddard)
« © '28 Forster Music, ASCAP »
I get the blues when it rains oh them mean old blueswhen it rains
Each little drop a fallin' on my window pane
Reminds me of them tears I've shed in vain
I sit and wait for the sun to shine down on me once again
Oh it rained when I found you it rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues when it rains
[ piano ] Well it rained when I found you it rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues well that's why I get the blues
Oh that's why I get the blues well that's why I get them lowdown blues
That's why I get the blues when it rains

COLD COLD HEART

(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just an evil scheme
A mem'ry from the lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying dear for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said make those teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
[ piano ] You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know I need and want your love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

BURNING MEMORIES

(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker)
« © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Tonight I'm burning old love letters
Photographs and memories of you
Hoping somehow I'll feel better
And when the smoke is gone I won't want you

(Burning mem'ries)
Teardrops falling falling
(Burning mem'ries)
Burning all those memories of you that I can't use

My heart to you no longer matters
And I can't live on memories that's true
Into the fire those dreams have shattered
And when the smoke is gone I'll be free

(Burning mem'ries)
Teardrops falling falling
(Burning mem'ry)
Burning all those memories of you that I can't use

SWEET THANG

(Nat Stuckey)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI / Su-Ma Publishing, BMI »
[ with Linda Gail Lewis ]
Well I slipped out of the house about sundown
While mama was a washin' her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me
When she finds that I ain't there
And if she catches her sweet thang running around
I know there'll be the debit to pay
She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door
And I can hear exactly what she'll say

Well has anybody here see my sweet thang
I got a notion he'd be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you barroom roses that if my sweet thang does have a bite
You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eyes
[ piano ] Well I gave my baby all my money on payday
Except a little she don't know about
Cause there's a little cute waitress down at the corner cafe
She seems to like me quite a lot
While we were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a talk
She was believin' in every word that I said
When that door blew open and mama walked in
Shoutin' loud enough to wake up the dead

Well has anybody here see my sweet thang...
Yeah you'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eyes
