SUCCESS

(Johnny Mullins) « © '61 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
You told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long till all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you

You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
[ fiddle - steel ] If we could share an evening now and then
Perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
It's funny what success has done to you

You have no time to love me anymore...

MINUTE YOU'RE GONE

(Jimmy Gateley) « © '63 Berwick Trail Music, BMI »
The minute you're gone I cry the minute you're gone I die
Before you walk out of sight I'm like a child all alone at night

I stare into emptiness I'm filled with such loneliness
My world goes from right to wrong the minute you're gone

The minute you're gone I see just how lonely I'm gonna be
My life would be oh so blue if I couldn't be with you

The minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long the minute you're gone
[ piano ] The minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say...

OTHER WOMAN

(Betty Sue Perry) « © '63 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I'd like to introduce myself
I'm the other woman the other woman in your husband's life
The whole town's buzzin' bout us and our stolen moments
They're callin' you the true and faithful wife

But you gave him the right to seek that other woman
And you know who was first to cheat on who
I just accepted love from him you never wanted
The other woman didn't steal from you
[ steel ] Now everbody's blaming me I'm the other woman
But who are they to judge who's wrong or right
Their whispers might be different if they knew what I know
The husband still beats you home ever night

But you gave him the right to seek that other woman...

ALONE WITH YOU

(Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore) « © '58 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
How I love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
How I love to be alone with you
How I love to have the power to read your mind one hour
How I love to be alone with you

Just to be with you one night you and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight have you for my own
This would be a joy unending could be a real beginning
How I love to be alone with you
[ guitar ] How I love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
How I love to be alone with you
If I only knew for certain I'd cut out all my flirtin'
How I love to be alone with you

Just to be with you one night you and me alone...
How I love to be alone with you how I love to be alone with you

WHY I'M WALKIN'

(Melvin Endsley - Stonewall Jackson) « © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
There's such an ache in this ole heart well I ain't talkin'
The hand that held mine tight just waved goodbye tonight
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'

With an ole love in your heart life's not worth livin'
I breathe his name with ev'ry breath I'm breathin'
Why can't he ever see how much he means to me
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
[ steel ] When I pass you on the street and I miss speakin'
Just blame it on this memory I'm keepin'
My head is bowed down low the hurt is bound to show
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'

GIRL THAT I AM NOW

(Loretta Lynn) « © '61 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Mhm mhm mhm oh could he love the girl that I am now

Tonight I'm in his arms but he just don't seem the same
I've cheated and I'm guilty my heart can't stand this pain
I let passion steal my mind from my heart and conscience blind
I'm feelin' mighty low and I pray he'll never know
He loved the girl I used to be could he love the girl that I am now
[ steel - piano ] It almost breaks my heart when he says that he loves me
I know that I'm not worthy and that's what troubles me
If he knew what I had done would he still feel just the same
Or would he feel the way I do guilty and ashamd
He loved the girl I used to be could he love the girl that I am now
Mhm mhm mhm oh could he love the girl that I am now

ACT NATURALLY

(Johnny Russell - Voni Morrison) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star outta me
They'll make a film about a girl who's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally

Well I'll betche I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can't never tell
The movies are gonna make me a big star
Cause I can play the part so well

I hope you come to see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
[ guitar ] We'll make a scene about a girl that's sad and lonely
And beggin' down upon her bended knees
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I gotta do is act naturally

Well I'll betche I'm a gonna be a big star...
And all I gotta do is act naturally and all I gotta do is act naturally

WORLD OF FORGOTTEN PEOPLE

(Loretta Lynn) « © '62 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I live in a world world of forgotten people
Who loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in a world world of forgotten people
Where ev'ry heart is achin' just like mine

Well I've loved and I've been loved but I had a reckless heart
And the many dreams I had I've torn apart
Now I find that I was wrong too late I'm all alone
Alone in a world of broken heart

I live in a world world of forgotten people...

COLOR OF THE BLUES

(Lawton Williams - George Jones) « © '58 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes
These things are the colors of the blues
In the mail your letter came the ink and paper look the same
Blue must be the color of the blues

Bluebird's singin' in the trees seems to sympathize with me
But he ain't singin' like he used to do
The pretty waters in the sea feel as cold as you left me
Blue must be the color of the blues
[ piano ] There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red
Blue must be the color angels choose
A blue suit you proudly wore when you left to return no more
Blue must be the color of the blues

Blue days come and blue days go how I feel nobody knows
Life is mighty empty without you
There's a blue note in each song that I sang since you've been gone
Blue must be the color of the blues

HUNDRED PROOF HEARTACHE

(Loretta Lynn) « © '62 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I've got a hundurd proof heartache and a case of the blues
My baby's gone and left me I've lost all I can lose
I've got a hundurd proof heartache my world keeps turnin' round
This hundurd proof heartache's got me down

You waded through my tears then said goobye
You didn't seem to care how much I cry
You made your home the tav'rn down the street
And this old heart cries out with ev'ry beat

I've got a hundurd proof heartache and a case of the blues
You're holding someone else tonight I just got the news
You left a hundurd proof heartache for a love that's second hand
This hundurd proof heartache I can't stand
[ piano - steel ] I've got a hundurd proof heartache my world keeps turnin' round
This hundurd proof heartache's got me down

I WALKED AWAY FROM THE WRECK

(Cindy Walker) « © '61 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I walked away from the wreck of our love affair
And no one knew how I was hurt because I lie
I walked away from the wreck but it broke my heart
And I'm all smashed up and broken inside

And when I see you with her I still wanna scream
It's like a bad bad dream that never seems to end
I walked away from the wreck of our love affair
But I'll never never be the same again
[ steel ] I saw the danger ahead but I paid no mind
For it seemed such harmless fun at the start
Too fast the crowd too much wine too much playin' round
Then came the crash and my world fell apart

And when I see you with her I still wanna scream...

LONESOME 7-7203

(Justin Tubb) « © '61 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Had our number changed today although I hated to
But each time the phone would ring they'd want to speak to you
And it hurts to tell them you're not here with me
Maybe now ol' telephone will let me be

It's not in the book now so you'd better write it down
Just in case your love for me should ever come around
You might want to call and break the news to me
Just dial Lonesome 7-7203
[ steel ] I keep the telephone beside me all the time
Hoping you might want to call and say you've changed your mind
If you do then darling you know where I'll be
I'm at Lonesome 7-7203

You're the only one I'm givin' our new number to
So now if the telephone should ring I'll know it's you
If you ever long for love that used to be
Just call Lonesome 7-7203
