OOO-EEE

(Annie McLoone) « © '77 McLooney Tunes, ASCAP »
I just came by to let you know I'll never ever let you go
Oh my ooo-ee my love
And if you ever ever stray I know that that will be the day
That I die oh my oo-ee my love
Ooo-ee ooo-ee my baby ooo-ee my baby oo-ee my love

I've been around the world a bit but you're the best thing I've seen yeah
Oh my oo-ee my love
And if you want to take me on we might be at it until dawn
Oh my ooo-ee my love
Ooo-ee ooo-ee my baby ooo-ee my baby oo-ee my love

Hey baby you see where I've been and you know where I'm goin'
Oh come on boy my heart's on my sleeve and my love is showin'
And if you stay around I'm never ever gonna let you down
Oh my oh my ooo-ee my love

SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON

(Hank Locklin) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I pray the time will let the dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

Each night when I dream I dream about you
And wish that I was dreaming next to you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
Send me the pillow that you dream on

JEALOUS HEART

(Dolly Parton) « © '83 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Mine is a jealous heart imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark but that's the way of a jealous heart

Sunny skies and a rosy bed thorns and storm clouds up ahead
Cause suddenly the sky turns dark for those of us with a jealous heart
Imagination runnin' wild like a frantic frightened child
Anytime that we're apart I can't control my jealous heart

And you know mine is a jealous heart and every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart
[ guitar ] I love you more than words can tell one day's heaven two days hell
Suspicious words like poison darts spoken from my jealous heart
Mine is a jealous heart imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark but that's the way of a jealous heart

And you know mine you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart

GAMBLE EITHER WAY

(Dolly Parton) « © '83 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Being born was the worst and the first mistake I ever made
The doctor didn't spank me he just slapped me in the face
And the cup of love was always quenchin' someone else's thirst
Leaving me to swallow the bitter taste of hurt
Cause I was raised an orphan never wanted as a kid
Until the year I turned thirteen then everybody did
Strangers passed me back and forth men just took me as they pleased
And others had a Cinderella slave to cook and clean and weave
Though the deck is stacked against you win or lose you have to play
The hand that life has dealt you and it's a gamble eather way

On a dusty road at fifteen in a yellow cotton dress
With the desert sun like an hungry dragon breathing down my neck
And the dry cracked plains would make me think of a prehistoric time
Should I fear what lay before me less than what I'd left behind
A fifteen year old girl don't have no trouble hitchin' rides
But sometimes when you're ridin' free you'll pay the highest price
On backroads and in backseats and in cheap highway motels
But what's a few more strangers in a life of nothing else
Though the deck is stacked against you win or lose you have to play
The hand that life has dealt you and it's a gamble eather way

Sixteen caught me cryin' underneath a scarlet light
On the doorstep of a stranger on a cold and rainy night
When I walked into the parlor here all the pieces seemed to fit
I was good at pleasin' strangers so I made the most of it
Either way is all a gamble so view the stakes and know the odds
And lay your cards up on the table do all your dealin' from the top
Though the deck is stacked against you win or lose you have to play
The hand that life has dealt you and it's a gamble eather way
Yes it's a gamble eather way

APPALACHIAN MEMORIES

(Dolly Parton) « © '83 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
You oughta go north somebody told us cause the air is filled with gold dust
And fortune falls like snowflakes in your hands
Now I don't recall you said it but we'd lived so long on credit
And so we headed out to find our promised land

Just poor Apalachian farm folks with nothing more than high hopes
We hitched our station wagon to a star
But our dreams all fell in on us cause there was no land of promise
And it's a struggle keepin' sight of who you are

Oh and these northern nights are dreary and my southern heart is weary
I wonder how the old folks are back home
But I'll keep leanin' on sweet Jesus I know he'll love and guide and lead us
Appalachian memories keep me strong

You know I've been thinking a whole lot lately about what's been and what awaits me
It takes all I've got to give what life demands
You go insane if you give into it life's a mill and I've been through it
I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands

Oh and these northern nights are dreary...

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW

(Don Robertson - Howard Barnes) « © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
[ with Willie Nelson ]
How many arms have held you and hated to let you go
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know

And how many lips have kissed you and set your soul aglow
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know

So always make me wonder always make me guess
Even if I ask you darling don't confess

Though you just let things remain your secret cause darling I do love you so
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know

POTENTIAL NEW BOYFRIEND

(Stephen Kipner - Johnny Parker) « © '82 April Music, ASCAP / Stephen Kipner Music, ASCAP / ATV Songs, BMI »
Got my eyes on a boy he's eyein' me back
It's lookin' real good this could be it
And I know that all of you girls would love to steal him away
He bought me a drink I thanked him real sweet
It's always so nice when you first meet
And I know that all of you women would love to steal him away
So I'm warnin' you

Better keep your hands off my better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Buildin' up an appetite you can look but you can't bite
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
[ guitar ] Pretty as a picture comin' on so strong
He's twisted my ignition key turned my motor on
Anyone can see all his attention's on me give us some privacy

Better keep your hands off...
[ guitar ] Leave us alone tonight if it don't work out right he's all yours but till then
Better keep your hands off my better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
I feel you crowding in on me hovering suspiciously
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend

Better keep your hands off...

COWBOY'S WAYS

(Dolly Parton) « © '83 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Sometimes he gets crazy as men are known to do
He'll lose his head in spite of everything he stands to lose
What is it in a man that makes him act like such a fool
She swears she never knew but always needed to

But stubborn pride is just the way of cowboys I suppose
Even love can't change the things he ought to change the most
And it's pride that keeps him standin' when he should be on his knees
Making apologies but she loves him desperately

Oh but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
So he'd know all the perfect lines to say
And have some great romantic way to show it
Be the hero ridin' up to save the day
And go ridin' high like a knight in shining armor
To sweep her up and carry her away
Oh but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
No cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways

I love you and I'm sorry are the words that just don't come
Cause words like that are no match for the kind that rule his tongue
But his eyes keep telling her you know I love you anyway
No matter what I say or what I never say

Oh but now and again she wished...
His ways seem cold but she knows he's much warmer
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
[ strings ] He's just a fool that must defend his honor
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways

ONE OF THOSE DAYS

(Dolly Parton) « © '83 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
It's been one of those days that reminded me in many ways
Of when we were happy still in love
Just a certain way the wind blows just a certain way the sun glows
It's been one of those days that reminded me of us

And even though it's over I never will get over
These feelings that I get on certain days
And I know I'll always love you and I'll always be thinkin' of you
In certain kinds of ways on certain kinds of days
And today well it's been one of those days

It's been one of those days and my heart feels so heavy
And my mind is so full of thoughts of you
It's been one of those days that I'd give my life to see you
And to once more know the love that we once knew

And even though it's over...
It's been one of those days that reminded me in many ways
Of when we were happy still in love

CALM ON THE WATER

(Dolly Parton) « © '83 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
In a dream I was walking in a beautiful field
I was gathering flowers at the foot of a hill
When a bright light descended and it spread o'er the land
Jesus stood on the mountain and he held out his hand

Then he came down from the mountain headed down to the sea
And the children strowed flowers at the path at his feet
And he was filled with compassion and the beasts from the wild
Came as gentle as lambs and they all walked at his side

There's a calm on the water a hush in the crowd
There's peace in the valley there's a stillness about
There's a light in the darkness there's joy in his love
Ain't that a wonderful feelin' left us lift him up
[ guitar ] Then he suddenly vanished from the crowd down below
Reappeared on the mountain in a radiant glow
He said your questions are many but the answer is love
There is life everlasting let us lift him up

There's a calm on the water...

He said if I be lifted up he said if I be lifted up
What did he say he said if I be lifted up he said if I be lifted up
Let's lift him higher and higher and higher and higher each day
Let's lift him up he said if I be lifted up of if I be lifted up
