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

So send me the pillow that you dream on and darling I can dream on it too

SAME SWEET GIRL
(Hank Locklin)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
All the years have seemed so short since I have known you
And the love I've shared with you I won't forget
And if we should ever reach a hundred years dear
You will be the same sweet girl as when we met
You will never have to live on just a promise
I will always be around you when you call
I will never share my kisses with another
Only with the same sweet girl my one and all

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

FLYING SOUTH
(Cindy Walker)
« © '63 Bathurst Music, BMI »
Winter's gone and summertime's a comin' and where I am ain't where I wanna be
I can hear my southern home a callin' and it's callin' out the old wild goose and me
Flyin' flyin' 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 flyin' south and home
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 uncle's down in Tennessee
There's a little part of southland in my heart
And honey in the south is where I wanna be

I WALK THE LINE
(Johnny Cash)
« © '56 House Of Cash, BMI »
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds because you're mine I walk the line
I find it very very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes I'll admit that I'm a fool for you because you're mine I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine I walk the line because you're mine I walk the line

I DON'T HURT ANYMORE
(Don Robertson - Jack Rollins)
« © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
I don't hurt anymore all my teardrops are dried
No more walking the floor with that burning inside
Just to think it could be time has opened the door
And at last I am free I don't hurt anymore
No use to deny I wanted to die the day you said we were through
But now that I find you're out of my mind I can't believe that it's true
I've forgotten somehow that I cared so before
And it's wonderful now I don't hurt anymore

TENNESSEE BORDER
(Jimmy Work)
« © '52 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Her eyes were brown her hair was auburn her smile was like an angel dear
She was her daddy's only daughter on the Tennessee border
One night I took a ride just across the line
I picked her up in a pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine
Her mother said no she's my only daughter
But we got married on the Tennesse border
One night I took a ride...

WILD SIDE OF LIFE
(William Warren - Arlie A. Carter)
« © '51 Unart Catalog, BMI »
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you you asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you so I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you and went back to the wild side of life

LOOSE TALK
(Freddie Hart - Ann Lucas)
« © '54 Central Songs, BMI »
So long we've been married last burdens we've carried
Though fate kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we'd make up someone seems to break up
So darling what else can we do
We may have to leave here to find piece of mind dear
Some place where we can live a life of our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
We may have to leave here...
If some folks would leave us alone

BEFORE I'M OVER YOU
(Betty Sue Perry)
« © '64 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I just can't get it through my head you love another now instead
Can't make myself believe we're really through
I'm walking up and down the hall talking to a silent wall
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you
I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you

GEISHA GIRL
(Lawton Williams)
« © '57 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand
For you've met her in a teahouse on the Island of Japan
And have you ever traveled over a many thousand miles
To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style
They read it in the Tealeaves and it's written in the sand
I found love by the heartful in the foreign distant land
Tell the homefolks that I'm happy with someone that's true I know
I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow

FOOL NO. 1
(Kathryn R. Fulton)
« © '61 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Am I fool number one or am I fool number two
How many other fools have been fooled by you
I suppose that the number is far from being small
And I'll bet that I'm the biggest fool of all
If I had the chance I guess I'd do it all again
I'd go down that same old road even knowing at the end
You'd leave me when your heart hears a new love call
So I guess that I'm the biggest fool of all
**********
13.
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
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

BACK STREET AFFAIR
(Billy Wallace - Jimmy Rule)
« © '52 Unichappell Music, BMI »
You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your place
Cause they call our love a back street affair
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong and someday they'll see they're wrong
Let 'em call our love a back street affair
**********
15.
SHAME ON YOU
(Spade Cooley)
« © '56 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Shame shame on you shame shame on you
Took my heart as a token when we heard it was broken
Hide your face shame on you
Shame shame on you shame shame on you
Took my car and my money tell you gal that ain't funny
Darn your hide shame on you
Shame shame on you shame shame on you
Ran around with other guy spend your life when I got wise
Foolish girl shame on you foolish girl shame on you

MY SHOES KEEP WALKING BACK TO YOU
(Bob Wills - Lee Ross)
« © '56 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I may say that I don't care hold my head up in the air
Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call
But when the days is through my heartache starts anew
And that's when I miss you most of all
And my arms keep reaching for you my eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you and my shoes keep walking back to you

I'LL BE THERE (IF YOU EVER WANT ME)
(Ray Price - Rusty Gabbard)
« © '60 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
So love me if you ever gonna love me never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze strong enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
[ guitar ]
I'll be here if you ever want me by your side

TOGETHER AGAIN
(Buck Owens)
« © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters we're together again
Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms now where I belong
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters we're together again

(Johnny Russell - Voni Morrison)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
They're gonna put me in the movies they're gonna make a big star out of me

And all I gotta do is act naturally
Well I'll bet you I'm a gonna be a big star might win an Oscar you can never tell
This movie's gonna make me a big star cause I can play the part so well

FROM HERE TO THERE TO YOU
(Pete McKinley - Larry Lee Smith)
« © '60 Bathurst Music, BMI »
From here to there to you my letter's on its way
To tell you how I miss you ever since you sailed away
To tell you things are not the same when I'm so far from you
I'm sending all my love from here to there to you
From here to there to you and that's oh so far away
Across this little painted map from here to there to you
I wish that I could go myself across this ocean of blue
I long of my love letter from here to there to you

LET ME BE THE ONE
(W.S. Stevenson - Paul Blevins - Joe Hobson)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Let me be the one to walk with you when you want somebody to talk with you
Anything that makes you happy I wanna do oh darling let me be the one
Let me be the one who means the most the one you wanna love and call your own
And when you choose your partner I wanna be the choice oh please let me be the one
Let me be the one to share with you all your little pleasures and sorrows too
In all kind of weather I wanna be with you oh please let me be one
Let me be the one to hold your hand when the preacher says do you take this man
All these happy thoughts will mean so much fun if you'd only let me be the one

THIS SONG IS JUST FOR YOU
(Cecil R. Harris - Perk Williams)
« © '56 Central Songs, BMI »
Of all the songs the world is singing of dreams that do and don't come true
I guess I've sung about a million but darling this one's just for you
I don't care if the world can't hear it playing if it's never number one or two
I just want to tell how much I love you so darling this song's just for you
What do they care about my troubles if my whole world suddenly falls through
You'll be the one who'll stand beside me so darling this song's just for you

NO ONE IS SWEETER THAN YOU
(Hank Locklin)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Just a little bit of loving and you would have my heart
Just a little kiss to prove you love me true
Oh how I'd like to take you and hold you in my arms
Darling no one is sweeter than you
A million ways I've searched my heart but you're the one I'd find
And just the thought of loving you grows sweeter all the time
If I should ever lose you my heart would break in two
Darling no one is sweeter than you
