FALLEN ANGEL

(Wayne P. Walker - Marijohn Wilkin - Webb Pierce) « © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
She's just a fallen angel and I'm the fool who made her fall

Last night I saw an angel the one I once called mine
The hand that wore my wedding band held a glass of wine
I took her love for granted I wronged her night and day
I drove my angel from me and now she's gone astray

She's just a fallen angel but I don't blame her for it all
She's just a fallen angel and I'm the fool who made her fall
[ steel ] So many times she told me she couldn't take me much more
So many times I laughed at her and walked right out the door
I wasn't worthy of her and now my angel's gone
The devil took her from me and claimed her for his own

She's just a fallen angel...

ROSE AND A THORN

(Wayne P. Walker - Webb Pierce) « © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Well a long time ago a little girl loved a boy
And it filled her heart with so much joy
One day he left her didn't tell her goodbye
Broke the little girl's heart and made the poor little girl cry
And the rose was born from the tears that fell
All heaven cried with her that's the story they tell
When you see a rainbow after a storm
You know a love has died a little girl cried and a rose's been born
(And a rose was born)

Well time moved along a little boy met a girl
And she captured his heart and set him in a whirl
One day she left him didn't tell him goodbye
Broke the little boy's heart and made the poor little boy cry
But a thorn was born from the tears he shed
And down through the ages to the rose has been wed
And just a reminder a sign meant to worn
A little boy lied a little boy cried and a thorn was born
(And a thorn was born)
That's a a story of a rose and a thorn
That's a a story of a rose and a thorn
That's a a story of a rose and a thorn

LET FORGIVENESS IN

(Rex Griffin - Webb Pierce) « © '57 Unichappell Music, BMI / Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I just recieved the letter that you wrote in deep despair
You say your heart to me is closed and you no longer care
What can I say or do to make you change your mind again
Oh won't you open up your heart and let forgiveness in

I may pretend I never cry to tell the truth I do
For sadness came with your goodbye and you're unhappy too
For if it's true you care for me to hide it is a sin
Oh won't you open up your heart and let forgiveness in
[ fiddle - steel ] I'd give the world to hear you say you love me as before
And that the happy yesterday is ours to live once more
Let's live again the used to be rewards so happy then
Oh won't you open up your heart and let forgiveness in

SO USED TO LOVING YOU

(Webb Pierce - Tommy Hill) « © '52 Unichappell Music, BMI »
So used to loving you I can't believe we're through
Nobody else will do since we're apart
I tried so hard to find someone to ease my mind
But they're just not my kind so used to lovin' you

Darlin' if you ever change you may still share my name
Don't hang your head in shame forget those mistakes you've made
No one lives a perfect life so forget your foolish pride
And put your fears aside then come back to me

So used to loving you...

THERE'S MORE PRETTY GIRLS THAN ONE

(Alton Delmore - Arthur Smith) « © '61 Unichappell Music, BMI / Vidor Publications, BMI »
There's more pretty girls than one there's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble around there's more pretty girls than one

Well I am a rambling man I done roam this world around
I've always been a rounder boy since my girl turned me down

There's more pretty girls than one...

Now listen all you rounders let me tell you what you'd do
Don't fall in love with a pretty little girl unless you know she's true

There's more pretty girls than one...
(There's more pretty girls than one yeah yeah)

FORGIVE ME

(Wiley Walker - Gene Sullivan) « © '57 Peer International, BMI »
I left you and left you broken hearted I left you and now I can't forget
I thought then that I could live without you forgive me and I'll make you happy yet

Forgive me for all the pain I caused you forgive me for unkind words I said
I thought once that I could live without you I'm paying with the broken heart instead
[ steel - fiddle ] I wish I had never made you blue sweetheart I wish I could live it over now
I know now that I can't live without you forgive me and I'll make it up somehow

Forgive me for all the pain...

TRUCK DRIVER'S BLUES

(Ted Daffan) « © '40 Ted Daffan Music, BMI »
(Feelin' tired and weary from my head down to my shoes
Feelin' tired and weary from my head down to my shoes
Got a low down feelin' truck driver's blues
Keep them wheels a rollin' I ain't got no time to lose
Keep them wheels a rollin' I ain't got no time to lose
Got a low down feelin' truck driver's blues)
Ride ride ride on into town there's a honky tonk gal a waitin'
And I've got troubles to drown

(Never did have nothin' I've got nothin' much to lose
Never did have nothin' I've got nothin' much to lose
Just a low down feelin' truck driver's blues)
Ride ride ride on into town...
(Never did have nothin'...

IS MY RING ON YOUR FINGER

(Wayne P. Walker - Webb Pierce) « © '57 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
When you're out with him where the lights are dim
Is my ring on your finger sweetheart
And when you're untrue with your somebody new
Is my ring on your finger sweetheart

Do you feel just right when he holds you tight
And you know that you still belong to me
Do you get a thrill from kisses you steal
Is my ring on your finger sweetheart
[ steel - fiddle ] Do you feel just right...

MY ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS

(Jimmie Rodgers) « © '33 Peer International, BMI »
For years and years I've rambled I drank my wines and gambled
But one day I thought I'd settle down
I met a perfect lady she said she'd be my baby
We built a cottage in the old hometown

Somehow I can't give up my good old rambling days
The honky tonks keep calling me away
I may be rough I may be wild I may be tough and it's my style
But I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways
[ fiddle ] Sometimes I meet a bounder who knew me when I was a rounder
He grabs my hand says boy have a drink
We'd go down to the poolroom we have a little drink then soon
The daylight comes before I've had a wink

Somehow I can't give up...

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE

(Wayne P. Walker) « © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
You're not gone really gone you'll be back I know you will
You're just taking a walk on the wild side of life

In my house are many heartaches loneliness is all around
Since you left me for the life of nights out on the town
I've got mem'ries by the dozen but I can't throw one away
Everything's just like you left it and that's how it's gonna stay

You're not gone really gone...
[ steel ] Till the bright lights lose their glamour and the music of its charm
Until you tire of all the honky tonks that took you from my arms
This old house of many heartaches holds a love enough for two
And everything's just like you left it waiting just for you

You're not gone really gone...

NO ONE BUT ME

(Webb Pierce) « © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
No one those hours I miss you no one no one but me
No one those hours I need you no one but me

I miss you so much I need your loving touch
I still love you so why did I ever let you go
No one those hours I love you no one no one but me
[ steel ] I miss you so much...
No one but me

DRIFTING TEXAS SAND

(Duster Coward) « © '37 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
I went to the river to water my horse
I couldn't find the river just rode across
On that drifting shifting Texas sand
Texas sand drifting Texas sand Sandy land down by the Rio Grande

Well sand in my coffee sand in my tea when I die they're gonna bury me
Deep in that drifting shifting Texas sand
[ steel ] Texas sand drifting Texas sand Sandy land down by the Rio Grande
I went to the river to water my horse I couldn't find the river just rode across
On that drifting shifting Texas sand
[ steel ] Well sand in my coffee sand in my tea...
