YOUR SQUAW IS ON THE WARPATH

(Loretta Lynn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Well a your pet name for me is Squaw
When you come home a drinkin' and can barely crawl
And all that lovin' on me won't make things right
Well you leave me at home to keep the teepee clean
Six papooses to break and when wean
Well your squaw is on the warpath tonight

Well I've found out a big brave chief
The game you're a huntin' for ain't beef
Get offa my huntin' grounds and get outta my sight
This a war dance I'm doin' means I'm fightin' mad
You need no more of what you've already had
Your squaw is on the warpath tonight
[ steel ] Well that fire-water that you've been drinkin'
Makes you feel bigger but chief you're shrinkin'
Since you've been on that love makin' diet
Now don't hand me that ole peace pipe
There ain't no pipe can settle this fight
Your squaw is on the warpath tonight

Well I've found out a big brave chief...
Yeah your squaw is on the warpath tonight

LIVING MY LIFETIME FOR YOU

(Glen Johnson) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Many heartaches have passed since we met
They're the kind that a heart can't forget
And the sweet memories are too few
While I'm livin' my lifetime for you

I'm livin' my lifetime for you
You're livin' to break me in two
I die while you're bein' untrue
Still I'm living my lifetime for you
[ guitar ] If ever there should come a time
When you feel that you'd like to die
Well you've made me feel that way too
But I'm livin' my lifetime for you

I'm livin' my lifetime for you...

BARNEY

(Frances Rhodes) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You can take Barney out of the barroom
But you can't take the bar outta Barney

Barney likes to smoke 'em filtertip cigarrettes
And if he can't get a blonde then he'll take a brunnette
and all the while he's drinkin' from a poptop can
he'll be tellin' lies to a cute redhead

with a smile on his lips and a drink in his hand
that's how you can always recognize my man
Barney's plenty ugly with his eyes all red
so bring him on home and I'll put him to bed

You can take Barney out of the barroom...
[ steel ] Barney wins a playin' with the dice that he throws
But the one-armed bandits get a lot of his dough
To win a game of cards well he might have to cheat
But he'll give it to a buddy gettin' back on his feet

Aw that's my Barney sittin' there hardly able
A braggin' he can drink us all under the table
I seen him a lotta times high as a kite
they put him in jail for tryin' to fight

You can take Barney out of the barroom...
[ steel ] Come on Barney let's go home
Barney it's gettin' late
Will somebody please help me get him outta here

SNEAKIN' IN

(Loretta Lynn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
It's now three o'clock in the mornin'
The door knob turns and you tiptoe to bed
You think you're sneakin' in you should know better
I know exactly what goes on inside your head

You've been with the boys so you'll tell me
It's a lie because I know right where you've been
I followed you tonight and watched you kiss her
Don't be so quite cause you're not sneakin' in

Next time you're sneakin' in ring the doorbell
Cause I won't be here to see the shape you're in
I've been losin' lots of sleep over nothin'
And I'm tired of hearin' nothin' sneakin' in
[ steel ] And I'm tired of hearin' nothin' sneakin' in

YOU'VE JUST STEPPED IN (FROM STEPPIN' OUT ON ME)

(Don Trowbridge) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You've just stepped in from steppin' out on me
And bragged that you've been on another spree
If you don't settle down and change your ways
I'll wound up steppin' out on you someday

I can't hold your love by force I wouldn't if I could
And I can't bring myself to leave though I know I should
You've just stepped in from steppin' out on me
You're not the faithful man I thought you'd be
Many nights I've wondered what you'd do
If you caught me a steppin' out on you
[ piano ] I can't hold your love by force I wouldn't if I could
And I can't bring myself to leave though I know I should
You've just stepped in from steppin' out on me
I'll bet your conscience hurts you constantly
Oh time and time again you've been untrue
So I've just step in from steppin' out on you

TAKING THE PLACE OF MY MAN

(Teddy Wilburn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You ask why I'm wastin' myself on the wine
And if I'll come with you you'll show me a good time
Well haven't you noticed these rings on my hand
This bottle is takin' the place of my man

They called him to duty but I have one too
Bein' true to the man who is fighting for you
I got lonesome without him so I found me a friend
This bottle is takin' the place of my man
[ steel ] I'm not proud of this bottle just got pride in one thing
Ever since he's been gone I've been true to his name
I'll be just like he left me when he comes home again
This bottle is takin' the place of my man

You can buy me a drink but I think you should know
That a drink and some talk is as far as I go
I'll be nobody's woman till he holds me again
This bottle is takin' the place of my man

KAW-LIGA

(Hank Williams - Fred Rose) « © '52 Milene Music, ASCAP / Intersong USA, ASCAP »
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head

Kaw-Liga was a lonely Indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an ol' pine tree

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss...
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head

LET ME GO YOU'RE HURTIN' ME

(Loretta Lynn - Lorene Allen) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Let me go please let me go you're hurtin' me

I've lost all your love so I can't understand
Are you holdin' on to just show me you can
This grip you have on me is as tight as it can be
Let me go please let me go you're hurtin' me

Stayin' here unwanted will be the death of me
Needing love that you won't give me so desperately
It's more than I can stand let me go while I still can
Let me go please let me go you're hurtin' me

Got no place to go but I'll go anyway
If I go I'll cry and I'll cry if I stay
I still love you can't you see and I don't want to be free
Let me go please let me go you're hurtin' me

Stayin' here unwanted will be the death of me...

HARPER VALLEY P.T.A.

(Tom T. Hall) « © '67 Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I wanna tell you all a story bout a Harper Valley widow's wife
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley's Junior High
Well her daughter come home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
And she said mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA

Well the note said Mrs Johnson you're wearin' your dresses way too high
And it's reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild
And we don't believe you oughta be a bringin' up your little girl this way
Yeah it was signed by the secretary Harper Valley PTA

Well it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon
And they were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say
She said I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA

Well now there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he asked me for a date
And Mrs Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice whenever he's away
And Mr Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down

Mr Harper couldn't be here cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
Well then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites

No I wouldn't put you on because it really did it happened just this way
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
Yeah my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
My mama really socked it to the Harper Valley PTA

I WALK ALONE

(Herbert W. Wilson) « © '43 Adams Vee & Abbott Music, BMI »
I walk alone where once we wandered
It seems so strange that you are gone
Till you return I'll stay the same dear
I'll still be true and walk alone

The flame of love is brightly burning
You know that I'm your very own
Till you return I'll stay the same dear
I'll still be true and walk alone
[ piano ] The flame of love is brightly burning...

HE'S SOMEWHERE BETWEEN YOU AND ME

(Loretta Lynn - Doyle Wilburn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
[ with Wilburn Brothers ]
I don't know the location he's usin'
He's so close and still I can't see
But I know all the heartaches he's bringin'
Shows he's somewhere between you and me

When you say that you love me I don't doubt it
But he tells me the same things you see
All I know he's on my mind much too of'en
Cause he's somewhere between you and me

Yes he's somewhere between you and me
Give me time to erase his memory
Cause my heart has to be free completely
And he's somewhere between you and me
[ guitar - steel ] Yes he's somewhere between...
Yes he's somewhere between you and me
