BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY

(Bill Monroe) « © '46 Peer International, BMI / Bill Monroe Music, BMI »
Blue moon blue moon keep on shinin' bright
Blue moon keep on shinin' bright
She's gonna bring me back my baby tonight
Blue moon keep on shinin' bright

I say blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I say blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlight night the stars were shining bright
It whispered from on high your love has said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
[ guitar ] I say blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'...
[ guitar ] Well it was on one moonlight night...

YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL

(Aaron Schroeder - Abner Silver) « © '57 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Rachel's Own Music, ASCAP »
You're so young and beautiful and I love you so
Your lips so red your eyes that shine shame the stars that glow
So fill these lonely arms of mine and kiss me tenderly
Then you'll be forever young and beautiful to me

You're so young and beautiful you're everything I love
Your angel smile your gentle touch are all I'm dreaming of
Oh take this heart I offer you and never set me free
Then you'll be forever young and beautiful to me

(YOU'RE SO SQUARE) BABY I DON'T CARE

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller) « © '57 Jerry Leiber Music, ASCAP / Mike Stoller Music, ASCAP »
You don't like crazy music you don't like rockin' bands
You just wanna go to a movie show and sit there holdin' hands
You're so square baby I don't care

You don't like hot rod racin' or drivin' late at night
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark you just wanna hold me tight
You're so square baby I don't care

You don't know any dance steps that are new
But no one else can love me like you do do do do

I don't know why my heart flips I only know it does
I wonder why I love you babe I guess it's just because
You're so square baby I don't care
Baby I don't care baby I don't care baby I don't care
[ guitar ] I don't know why my heart flips...

MILK COW BLUES

(Kokomo Arnold) « © '34 MCA Music, ASCAP »
Well I woke up this morning and I looked out the door
I can tell that old milkcow by the way she lows
(Hold it fellows it don't move me it's real real gone for a change)
Well I woke up this mornin' and I looked out the door
I can tell that old milkcow by the way she lows
If you see my milkcow please drive her on home
I ain't had no milk and butter since that cow's been gone

Well I tried to treat you right day by day
Get out your little prayer book get down upon your knees and pray
Cause you're gonna need you don't need your lovin' daddy help someday
Lord you're gonna be sorry you treated me this a way
(Oh that's milky) [ guitar ] Well good evening don't that sun look good going down
Well good evening don't that sun look good goin' down
But don't that moon look lonesome when your baby's nit around
I'm gonna leave if you don't need your lovin' daddy help someday
Now you're gonna be sorry you treated me this a way

IS IT SO STRANGE

(Faron Young) « © '57 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI / Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Oh if you tell a lie you know that I'll forgive you
Though you say our love is just a game
And when you hear my name you'll say I'm from a strange world
But is it so strange to be in love with you

Is it so strange that I love you more than all the world
Is it so strange I have no eyes for any other girl
Oh won't you take me back and say that you still love me
To waste a love like ours would be a sin
Let's kiss again let me hold you near
And take me from this strange world that I'm living in

WE'RE GONNA MOVE

(Elvis Presley - Vera Matson) « © '56 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Well there's a leak in this old building yes there's a leak in this old building
Well there's a leak in this old building we're gonna move to a better home

We got no pane in this old window we got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window we're gonna move to a better home

Well there's a hole in the roof where the rain pours in
A hole in the floor where it drops right out again

Well there's a leak in this old building ...

Well there's a crack across the ceiling yes there's a crack across the ceiling
Well there's a crack across the ceiling we're gonna find us a better home

Well we've gotta stove without a chimney we've gotta stove without a chimney
What good's a stove without a chimney we're gonna move to a better home

Pulling down window shades is no use at all
The kids and the neighbors can peep right through the wall

Well there's a leak in this old building well there's a leak in this old building
Well there's a leak in this old building
We're gonna move to a better move to a better move to a better home

I WANT TO BE FREE

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller) « © '57 Jerry Leiber Music, ASCAP / Mike Stoller Music, ASCAP »
There's no joy in my heart only sorrow
And I'm sad as a man can be 
I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room
And this room is a prison to me 

I look at my window and what do I see
I see a bird way up in the tree
I want to be free (oh yes) free (oh yes) free
I want to be free like the bird in the tree

What good are my eyes they can't see you
And my arms they can't hold so tight
I have two lips that are yearning but they're no good to me
Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight

I look at my window and what do I see...
I want to be free like the bird in the tree
(Want to be free)

I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET

(Stan Kesler - Carl Feathers) « © '55 Edward B Marks Music, BMI »
I forgot to remember to forget her
I can't seem to get her off my mind
I thought I'd never miss her but I found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time

The day she went away I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we'd ever met
But something sure is wrong cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget
[ guitar ] The day she went away...
