AIN'T GOT TIME TO BE UNHAPPY

(Glenn Sutton) « © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
The rich man's eatin' with a golden spoon
The poor man's worried bout a gettin' to the moon
They say World War III is a comin' any day
But me I couldn't careless either way

I ain't got time to be unhappy I ain't got time to be unhappy
Lovin' you makes me wanna slap my puppy
And I ain't got time to be unhappy
[guitar] The world keeps changing everyday
The things in the heart stay the same old way
Rockets to the Moon and filter cigarettes
Ain't had no bet though my life as yet

I ain't got time to be unhappy...
[harmonica] So take my advice if you ever get blue
Find a little girl that just digs you
Live on love let the war out be
Then you can sing my little song with me

I ain't got time to be unhappy...
(Come on now)
I ain't got time to be unhappy...
Oh I ain't got time to be unhappy...

Oh please release me let me go cause I don't love you anymore

I CAN'T REMEMBER TO FORGET

(Billy Graham) « © '68 Sublime Music, BMI »
We said goodbye in salt spring rain that's why my eyes were wet
I laughed too high the satin pain and said I'd soon forget

Now when we meet I try to be smart laugh clown laugh is my rule
But behind every smile is a tear in my heart and behind every laugh is a fool

My nights are lonely and days are long I must forget you and yet
No matter now how much it's wrong I can't remember to forget

(Now when we meet I try to be smart laugh clown laugh is my rule)
But behind every smile is a tear in my heart and behind every laugh is a fool

My nights are lonely and days are long...
I can't remember to forget

SOMEDAY YOU'LL CALL MY NAME

(Jean Branch - Eddie Hill) « © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer
Someday you'll reach for me I won't be there
For you've grown tired of all the love I gave you
But someday you'll wish that I still care

All through the years have I loved you
Still I know I claimed you for my own
Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer
For someday you'll find yourself alone all alone

HAVE A LITTLE FAITH

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton) « © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Your best friend your best girl just made a big mess of your world
Cause arm in arm they left you feeling blue
She set a trap you got caught you should've took her with a grain of salt
So have a little faith and love will come to you

So she's leaving for somebody new
She's even got you believing there's nothing you can do
So brush that teardrop off of your face and put a smile back in its place
And have a little faith and love will come to you
[ guitar ] Beyond the clouds the sky is always blue
[ guitar ] Have a little faith and love will come to you

So don't be lonely and don't be blue
Your one and only is somewhere waitin' just for you
But two lovin' arms to hug your neck
Right around the corner where your least expect
So have a little faith and love will come to you
Have a little faith and love will come to you

MEMPHIS TENNESSEE

(Chuck Berry) « © '63 Arc Music, BMI »
Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee
And help me find the party try to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number but I know who placed the call
Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Yeah help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the southside high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
[ guitar ] Yeah help me information more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her so and all the fun we had
We were torn apart because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Yeah the last time I saw Marie she was a waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
Marie was only six years old information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

LET'S THINK ABOUT LIVIN'

(Boudleaux Bryant) « © '60 House Of Bryant, BMI »
In every other song that I've heard lately some fellow got shot
And his baby and his best friend both died with him as likely as nut
In half of the other songs some cat's cryin' are ready to die
We've lost most all of our happy people and I'm a wonderin' why

Let's think about livin' let's think about lovin'
Let's think about hoopin' and a hoppin' and a boppin' and a lovey dovey dovin'
Let's forget about a whinnin' and a cryin' and a shootin' and a dyin'
And a fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about livin' let's think about life

We lost ol' Marty Robbins down in El Paso a little while back
And now Miss Patti Page or one of them is a wearin' black
Cathy's Clown's got Don and Phil where they feel like they could die
If we keep on losin' our singers like that I'll be the only one you can buy

Let's think about livin'...
[ guitar ] Let's think about livin'...
Let's think about livin'...
Let's think about livin' let's think about life

SAY IT'S NOT YOU

(Dallas Frazier) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Darling there's talk around town bout a girl who spreads love around
With soft lips and eyes crystal blue darling please say it's not you

They say that she comes in alone and stays till self respect is gone
And each night she leaves with someone new darling say it's not you

At first what they said didn't hurt me until they mentioned her name
Then slowly the tears overtook me cause her name and yours are the same

Each night till the breaking of dawn I'm praying that you're not the one
Tell me lies and say it's not true darling say it's not you
Darling say it's not you

ALMOST PERSUADED

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton) « © '66 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Last night all alone in a barroom I met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man

Then she came and sat down at my table and as she placed her soft hands on mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her for temptation was flowin' like wine

And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside

Then we danced and she whispered I need you take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it the reflection of my wedding band

And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home

SALLY WAS A GOOD OLE GIRL

(Harlan Howard) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Sally used to carry my books to school Sally was a good ole girl
Helped me with my homework cause I was a fool Sally was a good ole girl
If you wanted just a kiss or a little bitty squeeze
She was always willing to do her best to please
Girls were made to love and not made to tease Sally was a good ole girl

Sally was a good ole girl Sally was a good ole girl
No matter what the request she gave it her best Sally was a good ole girl

Yeah now folks were poor but she helped all she could Sally was a good ole girl
The hardest working girl in the neighborhood Sally was a good ole girl
She walked up and down the streets all day selling neck ties to the one's who'd pay
If they couldn't afford it then she'd give them away Sally was a good ole girl

Yeah Sally was a good ole girl...
(Sally was a good ole girl yeah Sally was a good ole girl)
[ guitar ] Now Sally was a favorite with all of the men Sally was a good ole girl
All the other girls despised her then Sally was a good ole girl
All the women talked about her but Sally didn't care
She kept on a workin' and doin' her share
She wound up married to a millionare Sally was a good ole girl

Yeah Sally was a good ole girl...
Oh Sally was a good ole girl...
