THERE STANDS THE GLASS
(Russ Hull - Mary Jean Shurtz - Audrey Greisham)
« © '53 Jamie Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
There stands the glass that will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain it's my first one today
There stands the glass that will hide all my fears
That will drown all my tear brother I'm on my way
I'm wondering where you are tonight I'm wondering if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass fill it up to the brim
Until my troubles grow dim it's my first one today
[ guitar - piano ]
I'm wondering where you are tonight...

WONDERING
(Joe Werner)
« © '51 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Wondering wondering who's kissing you
Wondering wondering if you're wondering too
Every hour through the day since you've been away
I keep wondering yes wondering if you're wondering too
I pray every night to the good Lord above
To send back to me the one I really love
Wondering wondering...
[ fiddle - steel ]
I pray every night...

IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW
(Jimmie Rodgers)
« © '28 Peer International, BMI »
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
I had a friend named Rambling Bob who used to steal gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse way downtown
He's in the jailhouse...
[ steel ]
I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man in town
She started to call me honey she started to spend my money
We took in every honky tonk in town
We're in the jailhouse now we're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now we're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice to quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now

YOU'RE NOT MINE ANYMORE
(Webb Pierce - Teddy Wilburn)
« © '54 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
You're not mine anymore but I'm still paying for
Just a note from you to say you've changed your mind
Now I know you say we're through but I'm still in love with you
And it's my fault that you're not mine anymore
If you don't ever change your mind to take me back again
I hope you meet someone that's true and fall in love with him
Since the day you said we're through I'm even more in love with you
And it's my fault that you're not mine anymore
[ steel - guitar ]
If you don't ever change your mind...

HEENIE JEEBIE BLUES
(Webb Pierce)
« © '82 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Well I'm standin' on the Broadway lookin' down the Main
Lookin' at that girl I'll never see again
I'm checkin' out I'm checkin' out
I gotta get on the move I've got that heenie jeebie blues
[ guitar - fiddle - harmonica ]
Sometimes I wishy washy I just can't hang around
I've got another baby waitin' in another town
I'm checkin' out...
Maybe that someday right now I just can't say
Something you got foolin' me down the other way
I'm checkin' out...
I gotta get on the move I've got that heenie jeebie blues

SLOWLY
(Webb Pierce - Tommy Hill)

Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
And slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart I know you're stealing I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
[ harmonica - guitar ]
Slowly I'm falling...

Yesterday's gone just love me from now on be true to me forget about the past
For I don't care if I'm not the first love you've known just so I'll be the last

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
They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue
Yes they call our love a back street affair
[ guitar - keyboards ]
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
Oh the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong
Let them call our love a back street affair
We'll be free for love someday when all the talk is dead away
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high and then the world will hear me cry
That our love is not a back street affair

LET ME BE THE FIRST TO KNOW
(Teddy Wilburn - Doyle Wilburn)
« © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I know I shouldn't think that it could happen
To you and I because I love you so
But it you should ever find that you don't love me
Darling let me be the first to know
If you should ever change your mind about me
Be the one to come and tell me so
Please don't let me hear it from another
Darling let me be the first to know
[ guitar - fiddle ]
I've seen it happen to so many others
They seem to find their love has gone cold
But they don't have a heart to tell each other
Darling let me be the first to know
It would break my heart to find that you don't love me
It would be so hard for me to let you go
But it you should ever find you love another
Darling let me be the first to know

MORE AND MORE
(Merle Kilgore - Webb Pierce)
« © '54 Unart Catalog, BMI / Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
More and more I'm forgetting the past more and more I'm living at last
Day by day I'm losing my blues more and more I'm forgettin' bout you
But oh how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried the day we said goodbye
Day by day I'm losing my blues more and more I'm forgettin' bout you
[ steel + fiddle ]
But oh how I tried...
