NASHVILLE WOMEN
(Harlan Howard)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
A lot of these Nashville women wouldn't have no home
If the blues was wine I'd stay drunk all the time
If the blues was wine I'd be drunk all the time
It takes a long time baby to get you from my mind
Going down the alley to see what I can find
Going down the Printer's Alley to see what this boy can find
Let some Nashville women love me let 'em rob me blind
[ dobro ]
Long tall woman you sure don't have to talk
A long legged woman sure don't have to talk
I know you're from Nashville I can tell by the way you walk

AFTER THE HURT IS GONE
(Marijohn Wilkin)
« © '67 Buckhorn Music, BMI »
After the party is over after the final goodbye
When you know he no longer wants you and your last tear has been cried
You'll need someone to turn to remember I've been here all alone
That my love replaced the emptiness and filled the space after the hurt is gone
[ piano ]
When the last heartache has ended when there's no more emotion to feel
Then comes that long lonely feeling and only the emptiness is real
When you realize there's nothing iside you to give you the will to go on
That my love replaced the emptiness and filled the space after the hurt is gone
After the hurt is gone

BEHIND MY BACK
(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I feel I'm safe in saying you don't love me
Behind my back you've cheated constantly
You're even grievin' now I've seen you run around
Behind my back right in front of me
Don't need a crystal ball to see it's over
Don't need a ton of bricks to fall on me
I know your love is gone the way you carry on
Behind my back right in front of me
[ piano ]
I've searched your face for any signs of feeling
But not one else of love is there to see
You couldn't love me too and do the things you do
Behind my back right in front of me
Don't need a crystal ball to see it's over...

HASTA LUEGO (SEE YOU LATER)
(Johnny Hicks)
« © '67 Alley Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Adios ana hasta luego hasta luego mi amore
The stars up in heaven will guide you
The moon will be bright up above
Then the bells in the mission will tell you
Manana is our wedding day
Adios ana hasta luego hasta luego amore
[ mandolin ]
Then the bells in the mission...

BURNING INSIDE
(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You got that please-don't-touch-me-air about you
That I-love-someone-else-look in your eyes
And so-before-too-long I'll be without you
We're just a little decide of goodbye
That's why I'm burning burning burning inside
My heart tells me that you've found someone new
And so I'm burning burning burning inside
I love you so and now I'm losing you
[ guitar ]
You're farther out of reach as each day passes
To keep you near has been a losing game
Our burning love is turning out to ashes
While I go out of carrying just the same
That's why I'm burning...

BEST PART OF LOVING YOU
(Ann Prince)
« © '67 Bathurst Music, BMI »
The best part of loving you is over and done
And the worst part of loving you has only begun
The best part of loving you while seeing you here
And feeling tender magic each time you were near
The best part of loving you was knowing you were mine
And childishly believing you'd be mine all the mine
The best part of loving you...
The worst part of loving you was seeing you grow cold
And knowing there was someone else you wanted to hold
The worst part of loving you is now under way
I watched you walk into the arms of your new love today
The best part of loving you...

HURT ME AGAIN
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '67 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Hurt me again the way you always do
Hurt me again I'm still in love with you
Lie to your new love the way you lied to me
Wrap him round your finger till he loves you hopelessly
Keep and trust and continue right up to the end
And when you're tired of his love hurt me again
Hurt me again the way you always do...
I'm not the first you've hurt and I won't be the last
There'll be many others like all those in the past
I've got a lot of heartaches just waiting to the end
So anytime you're ready hurt me again
Hurt me again the way you always do...
Hurt me again I'm still in love with you

Oh please release me let me go...

I DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR LOVING YOU
(Velma Burns)
« © '60 Unichappell Music, BMI »
We're the past time of the gossip and it hurts me through and through
For there's saying we don't care just what we do
I turn my head and close my heart to what I know is true
But I don't apologize for loving you
I feel guilty when I hold you for you wear another's name
And I know it's wrong to do these things to you
Each time I kiss you I am adding fuel to the flame
But I don't apologize for loving you
Maybe I have made you sorry for the first day that we met
With all the things I never meant to do
I know that I will pay throughout a lifetime of regret
But I don't apologize for loving you
Even when I'm with another you're the one I'm thinking of
Just a habit that I have of loving you
I'm sorry that the other hearts were broken by our love
But I don't apologize for loving you

THIS MEMORY
(Hank Locklin)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
There's a mem'ry that I treasure of the many things I've done
This mem'ry of all mem'ries in my heart No 1
Anytime when I am thinking it brings me happiness
This mem'ry of all mem'ries means more than all the rest
I still recall the first time you whispered
The words I wanted most to hear from you
But you belong to another and I to someone too
Every minute I will miss you and the sweet love that's not free
This mem'ry of all mem'ries belongs to you and me
[ steel ]
I still recall the first time...

DON'T LET ME CROSS OVER
(Penny Jay)
« © '62 Troy Martin Music, BMI »
I'm tempted my darling to steal you away
Don't let me cross over stay out of my way
You know that I love you and I'm not the stealing kind
And I'm faced with heartaches and love's cheatin' line
Don't let me cross over love's cheatin' line
You belong to another and you'll never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over love's cheatin' line
[ piano ]
I've tried to forget you but what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying that you love me too
I know if I lose you now a dream will I have left
I don't want to cheat dear but I can't help myself
Don't let me cross over love's cheatin' line...

I FEEL A CRY COMING ON
(Ann Prince)
« © '64 Bathurst Music, BMI »
I feel a cry coming on mhm mhm mhm
Was it sadness in your eryes I saw today
Or did anger make you turn and walk away
Anyhow it made me fall apart
Now that old familiar pain is in my heart
And I feel a cry coming each time I see you again
Or when something reminds me you are gone
Then I feel a cry coming on
This part of you that's so much part of me
Keeps haunting my dreams constantly
Just when I think that time has eased the pain
I dream of you and start hurting again
And I feel a cry coming on...
