SHE'S ALL I GOT

(Gary Bonds - Jerry Williams) « © '71 Embassy Music, BMI / Jerry Williams Music, BMI / Music Force, BMI »
Well I say friend don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need

She is life when I wanna live
She's everything to me in life that life can give
She's my water when I need to drink
She's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think

Let me tell you now friend...

She's my fingers when I want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love she's all the love I know
She could kiss the ground in the wintertime and make the flower grow

Let me tell you now friend...

SOMEONE TO GIVE MY LOVE TO

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '72 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I could search from now to the end of time and never find another you
I'm so glad because I know you're mine someone to give my love to

I believe my love that you're one of the kind for there's no one else like you
You're the light of my life so let it shine someone to give my love to

I find happiness is lovin' you I'll do my best to make your dreams come true
I will follow you to the end of the earth for my place will be with you
I have taken you for better or worse someone to give my love to

I find happiness is lovin' you I'll do my best to make your dreams come true
Days of man-and-wife-time are precious few I will spend them all with you
Then beyond forever I'll wait for you someone to give my love to
Mhmm mhmm mhmm

MY PART OF FOREVER (IS ALL I CAN GIVE)

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '74 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I can't take your hurt and wish it away Or condemn a love you knew yesterday
I can't be the past you want to relive My part of forever is all I can give

I can't be a part of some other time
Or free the memories that's chained to your heart
I can't take his dreams and make them live My part of forever is all I can give

All I can give is the love you see It's all that I have that belongs to me

I was not the cause of yesterday's rain
I never said the words that brought on the pain
The life you had with him is not mine to live My part of forever is all I can give
My part of forever is all I can give

SONG AND DANCE MAN

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '73 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Well I'm a song and dance man come on gather round me and clap your hands
Bring your tips boys and put 'em in the ol' tin can
Buy me a drink boys and I'll do a little bit of the old soft shoe
Put a little somethin' in the kitty and I'll sing and dance for you

I'll play a number and you can do the buck and wing
Or sing any sad song that you wanna hear me sing
Just name your pleasure then dig down in your jeans
My body needs a beverage and my guitar needs some strings

Cause I'm a song and dance man...

Well I caught pneumonia from walkin' in a pourin' rain
But I found heaven in a little room in New Orleans loved me till I got strong
Then I caught me a freight right out of her heart and I wrote about it in a song

Cause I'm a song and dance man...
I'm a song and dance man...

KEEP ON LOVIN' ME

(Troy Seals - Will Jennings) « © '73 Irving Music, BMI »
When she needs someone to love her in the night
She calls on me and I'm right there
When she wants to be a woman a lover and a friend
She calls on me and I'm right there

There's ain't nothing in this world that she won't do
Cause she gives the best of all she's got the way I want her to
Lord and I say keep on lovin' me babe and I'll keep on lovin' you
Just keep on lovin' me babe and I'll keep on lovin' you
That's all we need that's all we need
[ guitar ] When she wants that feeling that's waitin' in my arms
She calls on me and I'm right there
Her door is always open and sweet love shines the way
When she calls on me and I'm right there

There's ain't nothing in this world...

ONCE YOU'VE HAD THE BEST

(Johnny Paycheck) « © '73 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I'm so glad to have you back within these arms of mine
I can finally close my eyes and get some rest
Never once did I think to find me someone new
Cause there's nothing better once you've had the best

You're the very thing they sing about in love songs
And one mistake don't mean you failed the test
And as you lay beside me softly sleepin' this I know
There's nothing better once you've had the best

Within your arms I have the best and I think the world should know
I don't care what you've said and done I always love you so
You've got more love in your little fingers than all the rest
And there's nothing better once you've had the best

SOMEBODY LOVES ME

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '72 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Pardon me if I seem a little different
But I'm a walking with my head up in the clouds
I'm in love so sadness keep your distance
I'm looking at the happy side of town
I feel good now that things are like they should be
I'm happy as I always knew I would be
Somebody loves me somebody loves me somebody loves me

There's no words to describe the situation
For who could write this feeling in my heart
This is love nothing like infatuation
There's a way to tell the two of them apart
Now that love has become my greatest treasure
Everyday my life is filled with pleasure
Somebody loves me somebody loves me somebody loves me

MR. LOVEMAKER

(Johnny Paycheck) « © '73 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Mr Lovemaker don't let anyone take her
I need that woman's love to set me free
Mr Lovemaker don't let anyone take her
Till I can make her love me

Hey I know you're out there somewhere
And I know you've got the power to make her care
If you've ever thought of helping me help me now
Take her by the hand and guide her to my arms somehow

Mr Lovemaker don't let...
Mr Lovemaker don't let...

SOMETHING ABOUT YOU I LOVE

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '72 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
There's just something about you I love and I can't pin it down
Is it in the way you kiss or the way your hair hangs down

All I know is your warm woman's touch hold everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know why I want you so much there's something about you I love mhmm
[ guitar ] There's a message in your move that's gettin' through to me
There's something in the way you look that wakes up the need in me

I don't know what draws me to you but I can't seem to get close enough
I don't know what it is that you do there's just something about you I love mhmm

All I know is your warm woman's touch...

LET'S ALL GO DOWN TO THE RIVER

(Earl Montgomery - Sue Richards) « © '72 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
[ with Jody Miller ]
Let's all go down to the river there's a man who's walking on the water
Come along with me for I want to see this man walking on the water
Well he can raise the dead from the grave change the water and turn it into wine
He can make the lame walk and he can make the donk talk
And open up the eyes of the blind

Oh let's all go down to the river...
[ guitar ] Jesus is the man at the river and he's washin' people's sins away
He can save your soul if you give him control be ready for that Judgement Day

Let's all go down to the river...
Let's all go down to the river...
Let's all go down to the river...
