LONESOME IS ME
(Ed Bruce)
« © '66 Careers Music, BMI »
Did you ever say I'm lonesome then stop to wonder really what lonesome is
Lonesome is a little boy lost in a crowd a telephone ringing in an empty house
Lonesome is an autumn leave that first falls from its tree lonesome is me
Lonesome is a footstep with no place to go
Or summer's last robin in winter's first snow
Lonesome is a little dog lost out in the street lonesome is me
Lonesome is an empty bottle a half filled glass of wine
The sound that clock makes when all you have is time
Lonesome is a heart that breaks when love has turned to hate
The dying sun at the close of day
Lonesome is a jail of tears that won't set me free lonesome is me
Lonesome is me lonesome is me

MAKING PLANS
(Johnny Russell - Voni Morrison)
« © '63 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You say tomorrow you're going it's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches cause you're making plans to leave
The tears for me will be falling like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops cause you're making plans to leave
You're making plans to forget me I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome cause you're making plans to leave
I'm making plans to be lonesome cause you're making plans to leave

QUEEN UNFAITHFUL
(James Wasdin)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I know there is no honor for ones like her and me
But should there ever be a place for broken hearts to weep
And should there be a kingdom for those who break the rules
They'll crown her queen unfaithful and me the king of fools
Queen unfaithful and king of fools
That's what they'll call us in that place the devil rules
I put all my faith in her and she broke all the rules
They'll crown her queen unfaithful and me the king of fools
[ piano ]
I know there are no prizes for the biggest lie
And there's no wealth or fame for those who's heart is taught to cry
But should there be a kingdom with a castle for two
They'll crown her queen unfaithful and me the king of fools
Queen unfaithful...

I WANT A HAPPY LIFE
(Charlie Louvin)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
To tell me you forgotten me is like telling me a lie
To think that you love someone else is enough to make me die
Your love is mine and I'll tell you now I don't want someone new
I just want a happy life and live it all with you
If you're willing to forget the bad things I have done
I didn't mean to break your heart from now on you're the one
Forever and forever we'll be so far from blue
I just want a happy life and live it all with you
[ steel - piano ]
If you're willing to forget...
I just want a happy life and live it all with you

AS LONG AS THERE'S A SUNDAY
(Justin Tubb)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Though I can't come to see you every day
It just happened things turned out that way
But that don't mean you're not the apple of your daddy's eye
And as long as there's a Sunday I'll come by
As long as there's a Sunday your daddy's here
Though I think about and love you all the time
And even though dear some have said I have no right to you
As long as there's a Sunday you'll be mine
And someday dear I hope you'll understand that I come by as often as I can
So you be good and mind your mom and tell her I said hi
And as long as there's a Sunday I'll come by
And as long as there's a Sunday I'll come by

TO TELL THE TRUTH (I TOLD A LIE)
(Larry Lee - Tony Moon)
« © '66 Barmour Music, BMI »
Everyone has heard me say I don't miss her much today
Cause there's so much more to do than sit and cry
I said many times before I don't love her anymore but to tell the truth I told a lie
It feels so good to get it off my conscience to admit that she's still on my mind
I've tried keeping inside all the bitter tears I've cried
Oh I just laughed it up or at least I gave it a try
Oh when I thought I was at my best I sat and thought of her less and less
But to tell the truth I told a lie
[ guitar ]
It feels so good to get it off my conscience to admit that she's still on my mind
When I thought I was at my best...

ALL THE LIES ARE TRUE
(Bobby Sykes)
« © '66 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
All the things that I denied saying everyone had lied
That I could never ever do these things to you
I confess now that you're gone they were right I did you wrong
And all the lies you've heard about me are true
It was easy at the start to fool your trusting heart
But I didn't think I'd end up losing you
So let my mistakes be known now that you are really gone
And all the lies you've heard about me are true
[ steel ]
It was easy at the start...

SOMETHING'S WRONG
(Billy J. Smith - Fred Mussey)
« © '66 Talmont Music, BMI »
(Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong)
I dreamed that I heard mama calling for me
And I walked out with a cold sweat on my face
Now the job that I left home to take and all my plans will have to wait
Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong
Yes tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong
I'll have to hop a freight then I'll be gone
I'll have to be without my pay I just can't wait another day
Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong
The leaves have fallen twice now since I've been home
Guess I should've written to let them know where I'd gone
Now the cold rain started falling and something keeps calling
Yes tonight I'm going home cause I know something's wrong
I'm running down the road I used to live on
I see a crowd they get round our door
For the first time I see my daddy cry kneeling there by mama's side
Tonight I'm here at home cause something's wrong
Tonight I'm here at home but mama's gone

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
(Bob Morris)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Before you leave please be sure that there's no doubt
Now don't you think that's something to think about
Our little boy is just now old enough to talk
And little sister she's trying her best to walk
Take a good look around you before you walk out
Now don't you think that's something to think about
Our dreamhouse just now looks like a home
And all the trees we planted all they're almost grown
Before you leave please be sure that there's no doubt
Now don't you think that's something to think about
If you'd only think of all the good times that we've had
Then maybe all the bad times wouldn't seem so bad
All the neighbors they sure do think a lot of me
And if I lost you I don't know what I would do
Nobody knows we've had fallen out
Now don't you think that's something to think about
Before you leave please be sure...

TWO MINUS ONE
(Larry Lee - Charlie Louvin)
« © '66 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Take love from a boy take love from a girl and you might as well take away the world
We're living to love and dissociety two minus one equals one one lonesome me
Wrapped in your arms gave me strenght of a king
And all of the warm things two arms can bring
Two equals two then one should leave
That makes two minus one equal one one lonesome me
[ guitar ]
With your lips on mine I had reason to live
And knowing your wants makes me willing to give
But I never dreamed you'd want to be free
Now two minus one equals one one lonesome me
Wrapped in your arms...

WE'RE STILL TOGETHER
(Buck Graves)
« © '66 Scruggs Publishing »
We're still together yet so far apart
Because of little Jimmy and his baby sister Sue
You pretend you'll you love me and I'll still stay with you
But just between you and me we know each other's hearts
We're still together yet so far apart
The only time we kiss at all it's for the kids to see
They don't know we're living in the world of make believe
We know if we should seperate it would break their little hearts
So we're still together yet so far apart
[ steel ]
We hold hands laugh a lot till the kids're fast asleep
Then I take a walk and you start to weep
We don't talk about it cause where would we start
We're still together yet so far apart
The only time we kiss...

YOU FINALLY SAID SOMETHING GOOD
(Eugene Strasser - George Winters)
« © '64 Regent Music, BMI »
You finally said something good when you said goodbye
So don't wait around to see if I'm a gonna cry
Instead of tears streaming down my face you'll find a great big smile in their place
You finally said something good when you said goodbye
I don't wanna rush things honey but I'll help you pack
I've been waitin' on you to make a move like that
Don't waste anytime on words my dear you already said what I wanna hear
Yeah you finally said something good when you said goodbye
[ guitar ]
Better make your move faster honey I'll call a cab
Now don't worry about the money I'll pay the tab
Now you've been talking for nearly a year and at last you said what I wanted to hear
Yeah you finally said something good when you said goodbye
Oh you finally said something good...
Oh you finally said something good when you said goodbye
