FLYING SOUTH

(Cindy Walker)
« © '63 Bathurst Music, BMI »
Winter's gone and summertime's a coming
And where I am ain't where I wanna be
I can hear my southern home a calling
And it's calling out the old wild goose and me

Flying flying south to Dixie
Lord I been so lonesome and alone
Stayin' ain't no use because my heart's an old wild goose
And tomorrow I'll be flying south and home
[ brass ] I've got kids and kin down in Kentucky
I've got lots of aunts in Alabam
Mom's a waitin' down in Mississippi
And my sist's in Carolina's honey land

Grandma and grandpa's down in Georgia
And my Tootsie's back in Tennessee
There's a little part of southland in my heart
And honey in the south is where I wanna be
[ brass ] Way back home in Nashville Tennessee
[ brass ] With the Nashville Brass is where I wanna be

MELODY OF LOVE

(Tom Glazer - Hans Engelmann)
« © '55 Songs Music, ASCAP »
Hold me in your arms dear dream with me
Cradle by your kisses tenderly
While a choir of angels from above sings our melody of love
Heaven wrote the music up above for our melody of love

ROSALITA

(Al Dexter)
« © '57 Peer International, BMI »
Rosalita my little rose of the rancho
You won my heart down by the Rio
Dry your eyes dear and don't be blue Juanita
I'll come back to you my little Rosalita

Each night I tell the moon on high and all its glory
How you and I and days gone by and love's real story
Rosalita another day now is dawning
For you I'm longing my Rosalita
[ brass ] Each night I tell the moon on high and all its glory...

LAURA (WHAT HE'S GOT THAT I AIN'T GOT)

(Leon Ashley - Margie Singleton)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Laura hold these hands and count my fingers
Laura touch these lips you once desired
Lay your head upon my chest and hear my heart beat
Gently run your fingers through my hair

Touch these ears that's listened to your wishes
Most of them fullfilled and that's a lot
Let your soft gentle hands caress my body
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got

Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
It must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got that I ain't got

Laura see these walls that I built for you
Laura see this carpet that I layed
See those fancy curtains on the windows
Touch those satin pillows on your bed

Laura count the dresses in your closet
Note the name upon your checkbook in your bag
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got

Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
It must be something I was born without
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Laura tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Tell me what he's got that I ain't got

PLEASE HELP ME I'M FALLING

(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)
« © '59 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you

I belong to another whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever to have and to hold
I can never be free dear but when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the will to be true
[ brass ] Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you but darling I do
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Please help me I'm falling in love with you

ONCE A DAY

(Bill Anderson)
« © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day

Once a day all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day every day all day long
[ brass ] I'm so glad that I'm not like a friend I knew one time
He lost the one he loved then slowly lost his mind
He sat around and cried his life away
Lucky me I'm only crying once a day

Once a day all day long...
Once a day every day all day long

BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY

(Bill Monroe)
« © '46 Peer International, BMI / Bill Monroe Music, BMI »
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlight night with stars shining bright
Whispered on high love said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
[ brass ] Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue so blue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlight night with stars shining bright...

LITTLE ACORNS

(Johnny Mercer - Arthur Kent)
« © '70 WB Music, ASCAP »
Give my mama credit cause my mama said it
So your little acorns made of love
If that's how you're slowin' and with time that's growin'
They'll turn into great big oaks above

As I grow old I can see it's true
And mama that's why I intend to do
This good life is laid off resting in the shade of
Little acorns that we sowed with love

ONE MINUTE PAST ETERNITY

(Stan Kesler - Bill Taylor)
« © '57 Hi-Lo Music, BMI / Varia Publishing, BMI »
When will my arms grow cold when will your kiss grow old
When will I want to be free exactly one minute past eternity
When will I make you blue cheat and run around on you
Throw away the love you've given me exactly one minute past eternity

Eternity is forever so darling have no fear
My love for you will last and last a million million years
When will I say goodbye break your heart and make you cry
Tell you to forget about me exactly one minute past eternity
[ brass ] Eternity is forever so darling have no fear...

SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON

(Hank Locklin)
« © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I share your love in dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a mem'ry's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
[ brass ] So darling I can dream on it too

ANNA

(Hank Locklin)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Anna stand beside me lift your eyes to the window look and see
Anna let me hold you and for the thousandth time Anna lean on me

Anna see the cornfield see how summer's brought a million ears so fine
Anna the stalks are browning they're singing the last verse of summer time

Anna childhood sweetheart a freckle face but like to rope and play
Beautiful air of silver you've been mine for fifty years today

Thank you for the wonders for the joy you've caused my life to be
Thanks dear for the giving sharing your life with the likes of me

Anna thank you darling for our children bless them every one
Grown now men and women and your name is hallowed on their tongue

Anna see the cornfield see how summer's brought a million ears so fine
Anna the stalks are browning they're singing the last verse of summer time

Anna like the cornfield we have brought four children strong and fine
Anna our hair is silver we're singing the last verse of summer time
Yes we're singing the last verse of summer time
