OH LONESOME ME

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set set me free oh lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me

I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me
[ piano ] I'll bet she's not like me...

SOONER OR LATER

(Mel Tillis - Webb Pierce) « © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Your cheating past I knew when I fell in love with you
But I thought that I could help you change your ways
But memories in time keep burning on your mind
Sooner or later you're gonna fall back to the cheating kind

Yes I know I'm losing you and there's nothing I can do
I know I'm about to give you up someday
Cause somewhere down the line your heart will fall behind
When your past starts calling you'll start falling back to the cheating kind
[ steel - fiddle ] Yes I know I'm losing you...
Back to the cheating kind back to the cheating kind

LITTLE BITTY TEAR

(Hank Cochran) « © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well a little bitty tear let me down spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown oh but a little bitty tear let me down

When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow that I'd laugh when you walked away

But a little bitty tear let me down...

I said I'd laugh when you left me full of funny as you went out the door
That I'd have another was a waiting I'd wave goodbye as you go

But a little bitty tear let me down...
[ steel ] Everything went out like I planned it and I really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it till you walked with your grip through the door

Then a little bitty tear let me down...
A little bitty tear let me down a little bitty tear let me down

WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO

(Frank Luther) « © '63 Universal MCA Music, ASCAP »
I'd forgive you but what good would it do
One can't make up though our love it takes two
Oh you can't keep up a home with the heart that once do wrong
I'd forgive you but what good would it do
I'd come back dear but what good would it do
We would have those same old fights to go through
And as much rather be dead than to hear those words you said
I'd forgive you but what good would it do
[ steel - piano ] I still love you but what good will it do after all I can't tell you what to do
We are formed of certain wish dear and that's the way we stay
I'd forgive you but what good would it do
I could blame you but what good would it do
One can't make up though our love it takes two
Oh you can't keep up a home with the heart that once do wrong
I'd forgive you but what good would it do

ONE MORE TIME

(Mel Tillis) « © '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I wonder what the power is that you hold over me
I never get to love you long just your memory
And I make a vow each time you leave that this will draw the line
Then you come back and just like that I'm falling one more time

One more time my lips will kiss you one more time my arms will hold you
But it won't be long until you're gone with a mem'ry left behind
And I just know that when you go I'll be lonely one more time
[ steel ] Your nearness makes me weaken and I give in to you
And I'm doing all the things that I said I wouldn't do
And I make a vow each time you leave that this will draw the line
Then you come back and just like that I'm falling one more time

One more time my lips will kiss you ...

IF I COULD COME BACK

(Mel Tillis - Webb Pierce - Buck Peddy) « © '61 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
If I could come back when I'll leave this world
I'd still want to come back to you
Though you've never cared half as much as I
I pray that someday things would change

From here to eternity would seem just like a day
If I had your promise I know I'd find the way
If I could come back when I'll leave this world
I'd still want to come back to you
[ steel ] From here to eternity...

WALK ON BY

(Kendall Hayes) « © '61 ATV Songs, BMI »
If I see you tomorrow on some street in town
Pardon me if I don't say hello
I belong to another it wouldn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know

Just walk on by wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet

Just walk on by...
[ steel ] In some hidden corner in a place outside of town
Tonight we'll try to say goodbye again
But I know it's not over I'll call tomorrow night
I can't let you go so why pretend

Just walk on by...
I love you but we're strangers when we meet

ARE YOU SINCERE

(Wayne P. Walker) « © '57 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Are you sincere when you say I love you
Are you sincere when you say I'll be true
Do you mean every word that my ears have heard
I'd like to know which way to go will our love grow are you sincere
[ guitar ] Are you sincere when you say you miss me
Are you sincere every time you kiss me
And are you really mine every day all the time
I'd like to know which way to go will our love grow are you sincere

I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago still make me blue
They say that time heals the broken heart
But time is stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you...

I'VE GOT A NEW HEARTACHE

(Wayne P. Walker - Ray Price) « © '56 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
You're back in town again spreadin' talk around
That I'm still in love with you though you let me down
I hate to admit it but I guess the talk is true
Or else you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do

I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
That left me for somebody new
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
And that's why I'm feeling so blue
[ steel ] Why did you turn up again I was doing fine
I'd found another sweetheart to drive you from my mind
I thought that I'd forgotten you but I know that it's not true
Or else you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do

I've got a new heartache...

IF I LOST YOUR LOVE

(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker) « © '61 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
If I lost your love oh how I'd cry I'd wish I could die if I lost your love
You are to me a sweet dream come true don't know what I'd do if I lost your love

I'm sure that my heart would break if you said
It's best that we'll part cause our love is dead
I live each day only for you don't know what I'd do if I lost your love
[ guitar ] I'm sure that my heart...

GEORGIA TOWN BLUES

(Mel Tillis - Buck Peddy) « © '61 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I've got the Georgia town blues I've got to thinkin' bout you
And I'm walkin' my feet right out of my shoes
Well my baby's gone and left me took away my love
And I can't get to Georgia on the Greyhound stuff

Well a honky tonk woman with the dreamy eyes broke my heart in two
When I found out it was only lie I wound up with the blues
I've got the Georgia town blues I've got to thinkin' bout you
If I don't get to Georgia I'll never lose these blues
[ piano - guitar ] A honky tonk woman with the dreamy eyes...
