SAW MILL
(Mel Tillis - Horace Whatley)
« © '59 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Once I was a slave at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy talk about a poor boy let me have a dollar bill
My work was so hard at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy talk about a poor boy let me have a dollar bill
See my teardrops falling down my wife left the saw mill town
She said saw mill life had been a sin the gravy were too thin
I can't work no more at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy talk about a poor boy let me have a dollar bill
[ steel ]
Well if you bring your wife to the saw mill
How you gonna please her how you gonna please her when she wants a dollar bill
She'll run away and leave you at the saw mill
Women like a dollar women like a dollar yes and women always will
See my teardrops falling down...
Women like a dollar women like a dollar yes and women always will

KING OF FOOLS
(Buck Owens - Red Simpson - Dusty Rhodes)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I believe every lyin' word you told to me
When you whispered your sweet love belonged to me
How was I to know you would let me down
Well that's how this lonely king won this lonely crown
So long live the king the king of fools the king with the castle filled with gloom
A king whose treasures are just memories of you
Long live the king the lonely king of fools
[ steel ]
When your fling is through I know that you'll be back once more
And the king of fools will take you back just like before
You'll fool me till you find somebody new
Then once again I'll be the lonely king of fools
So long live the king...

(Harlan Howard)

[ Don Rich ]
Sally used to carry my books to school Sally was a good ole girl
Helped me with my homework cause I was a fool cause 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
Yeah girls were made to love and not made to tease Sally was a good ole girl
Yeah 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
Oh well Sally's folks were poor but she helped all she could Sally was a good ole girl
Hardest working girl in the neighborhood Sally was a good ole girl
Well she walked up and down the street all day
Selling neck ties to the one's who'd pay
If they couldn't afford it then she'd give them away cause Sally was a good ole girl
Yeah Sally was a good ole girl...
Well Sally was a good ole girl...
[ guitar ]
Well Sally was a favorite with all of the men cause Sally was a good ole girl
All of the ladies despised her then cause Sally was a good ole girl
Well the women talked about her but Sally didn't care
She kept on a workin' and a doin' her share
She wound up and married to a millionare Sally was a good ole girl
Yeah Sally was a good ole girl...
Well Sally was a good ole girl...

I CAN'T STOP MY LOVING YOU
(Buck Owens - Don Rich)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You turn your head each time I meet you on the street
I brush your arm as you pass by but you won't speak
I call you on the telephone but can't get through but I can't stop my loving you
Can't sleep at night can't hold you tight
Since this loneliness replaced the love we knew
I still hang around though you've turned me down for I can't stop my loving you
[ steel ]
So many times I've tried to find somebody new
To feel again the feeling I once felt with you
Though someone else is doing things I used to do I can't stop my loving you
Can't sleep at night...

COTTON FIELDS
(Huddie Ledbetter)
« © '61 Folkways Music, BMI »
[ Don Rich ]
When I was a little bitty baby my mama would rock me in my cradle
In those old cottonfields back home
When I was a little bitty baby my mama would rock me in my cradle
In those old cottonfields back home
Oh when those cotton bolls get rotten you can't pick very much cotton
In those old cottonfields back home
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana
In those old cottonfields back home
[ steel ]
When I was a little bitty baby...
In those old cottonfields back home

KICKIN' OUR HEARTS AROUND
(Wanda Jackson)
« © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Oh let's stop kickin' each others hearts around it's not the thing to do
Let's pick them up dust them off and start our love anew
Let's be fair and let's don't dare to try to hurt the other
Let's stop kickin' our hearts around and let's love one another
We've said goodbye a thousand times then made up again
Always coming back for more to see which one will win
I love you and you love me on this we can agree
Let's stop kickin' our hearts around and go on lovingly
Oh let's stop kickin'...
[ steel ]
You called me on the phone but I hang up on you
Then I called back up to apologize for doing things I do
You can't understand the things I do or things I say
And I can't accept the way you change from day to day
Oh let's stop kickin'...

TOUCH ME
(Willie Nelson)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
[ Kenny Pierce ]
Touch me touch the hand of a man who once owned all the world
Touch me touch the arms that once held all the charms of the world's sweetest girl
Touch me maybe someday you may need to know how it feels when you lose
Touch me you'll know how you feel with the blues
Watch me watch the eyes that have seen all the heartache and pain in the land
And be thankful you're happy though standing so close to the world's bluest man
Don't forget me take a good look at someone who's lost everything he can lose
Touch me you'll know how you feel with the blues
[ steel ]
Watch me watch the eyes...

SWEETHEARTS IN HEAVEN
(Buck Owens)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Will there be sweethearts in heaven after we've crossed the line
If the angels have sweethearts then I want you for me
If I should go first and leave you behind to face life alone bear this in mind
I'll be a waiting if heaven's my fate
To take you by the hand just inside the pearly gates
Will there be sweethearts...
[ steel ]
I'd be a tramp and sleep in the street or I'd be a beggar with rags on my feet
If I knew for sure when the time comes to part
Someday in heaven you'd be my sweetheart
Will there be sweethearts...

ONE WAY LOVE
(Buck Owens)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You never think of giving you only take
And you don't seem to care how many rules you break
Although I know you're wrong I let you have your way
Anything to own your love just one more day
One way love that's all you have for me one way love is just plain misery
I say that we're all through and then you call me up
And once again I'm falling for your one way love
[ steel ]
I guess you never loved me and you never will
For it don't seem no matter to you how I feel
So I'll play second fiddle if that's the only way
And hope that some day you'll come to my arms and stay
One way love that's all...

DIGGY LIGGY LO
(Jimmy D. Miller)
« © '63 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
[ Don Rich ]
Diggy Liggy Li and Diggy Liggy Lo fell in love at a fair dodo
Her pop was cold and the coffee chold for Diggy Liggy Li and Diggy Liggy Lo
Diggy Liggy Li loved Diggy Liggy Lo everyone knew he was her beau
No one else could ever show so much love for Diggy Liggy Lo
[ fiddle ]
There's a place they find romance where they do the cajun dance
Steal a kiss with every chance show their love with every glance
Diggy Liggy Li loved Diggy Liggy Lo...
[ fiddle ]
Finally went to see her pa now he's got a paw in law
Move out where the bayou flows how he's got a little Diggy Liggy Lo
Diggy Liggy Li loved Diggy Liggy Lo...
