(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Cousins kissin' cousins
Kissin's allowed cause we're proud to be cousins
What's a little teasin' huggin' and a squeezin' between us cousins

Oh it's so great to be one big family and we show it yes we show it
You see we never feud we're a happy brood folks all know it yes they know it

Cousins kissin' cousins honey we dress and we mess we're just cousins
Cousins kissin' cousins cousins kissin' cousins

SMOKEY MOUNTAIN BOY

(Victor Millrose - Lenore Rosenblatt) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
I'm just a smokey mountain boy coming back to the hills I love
With the tops of pine all bending in the wind and the deep blue sky above

The closer and closer I get to home the more excited I am
Those were the mornings I'd roll out of bed
Start the day off with hot corn bread
Smothered in huckleberry jam

I'm just a smokey mountain boy...

I can almost hear the hounds running through the woods
Close on the trail of a hare
How I long to be with them followin' the hounds a huntin' again
Gettin' me a big ol' grizzly bear

I'm just a smokey mountain boy...

I've travelled around and met lots of girls
No matter how many I see
I left some pretty ones behind I know back home is where I'll find
The girl whose love is meant for me

I'm just a smokey mountain boy...

THERE'S GOLD IN THE MOUNTAINS

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
There are lots of girls in the mountains
And they're worth their weight in gold
When they're in my arms
With their lovin' charms a treasure chest I hold

Well there's gold in the mountains love in the hills
I don't need no city women with their diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see

There's such beauty there in the mountains
You can feel your knees growin' weak
Every single boy feels the height of joy
When he climbs that mountain peak

Well there's gold in the mountains...
I said there's gold in the mountains...
I ever did see I ever did see

ONE BOY TWO LITTLE GIRLS

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
One boy two little girls three hearts yearning for love
Although it's hard to explain I know it may sound insane
But this one boy loves two little girls

Folks say three is a crowd to each boy one girl's allowed
But right now I'm having such fun I just can't give up either one
Cause this one boy loves two little girls

There will come a time I'll have to settle down
But until that time I love two girls hanging around

Now one day I must decide which one I'll choose for my bride
But till we three must part I've twice as much love in my heart
Cause this one boy loves two little girls

CATCHIN' ON FAST

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Won't you show me how to kiss put your lips on mine
Do you do it just like this tell me I'm doing fine
We got a good thing going now take your time come on and make it last
Love may be new to you but ooh I'm catchin' on fast

Give give give me all you've got to give
Love love love every moment you live

Now you've taught me all you know have I passed the test
Show me all you've got to show baby you're the best
But tell me I've learned quickly and I know each trick I'm sure love's gonna last
Love may be new to you but ooh I'm catchin' on fast

TENDER FEELING

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
I can't conceal the tender feeling now that you are close to me
I look at you with tender feeling and can't help kiss you tenderly

I offer you a true devotion all life through my love I vow
For this is real this sweet emotion this tender feeling I have now

Somehow I knew from the moment our lips first met
You'd be the girl I could never forget

No other love could be appealing I loved you right from the start
And with each kiss I'll keep revealing the tender feeling in my heart

ANYONE (COULD FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU)

(Bennie Benjamin - Sol Marcus - Luchi A. DeJesus) « © '63 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
Anyone could fall in love with you anyone who knows you as I do
Anyone could fall in love with you and I love you my darling

Anyone could lose his heart like me anyone who has eyes that can see
Anyone could fall in love with you and I love you my darling

You're the star I reached for you're a dream so rare
You're my greatest treasure nothing can compare

Anyone could want you for his own anyone not only mine alone
Anyone could fall in love with you and I love you my darling
Anyone could fall in love with you and I love you my darling

BAREFOOT BALLAD

(Dolores Fuller - Larry Morris) « © '63 Bienstock Publishing, ASCAP / Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a downhome country song
Cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off
With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong

Give me a honk tonk fiddle with a guitar in the middle and a melody
Humming like a fountain swinging out on smokey mountain

I want a barefoot ballad...

Now the big toe's connected to the two toe
And the two toe's connected to the three toe
And the three toe's connected to the four toe
And the four toe's connected to the five toe
And the five toe and away we go

I want a barefoot ballad...
Now the big toe's connected to the two toe...

I wanna barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me
(Play for who play for him play for her)
A barefoot ballad song

ONCE IS ENOUGH

(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) « © '63 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
All you got is one life living once can be rough
But if you live every day all the way once is enough
You can own just one suit worn and torn at the cuff
But if you're livin' the life that you love once is enough

What's the good of reaching ninety if you waste eighty-nine
You got one life so live it if you don't it's a crime
Life's a playful puppy you can grab by the scruff
And if you live every sec' what the heck once is enough
[ sax ] Never wait until tomorrow what if it never comes
Life is a seven layer don't you settle for crumbs
Life's a playful puppy you can grab by the scruff
And if you live every sec' what the heck once is enough
And if you live every sec' what the heck once is enough
And if you live every sec' what the heck once is enough

KISSIN' COUSINS

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Well I've got a gal she's as cute as she can be
She's a distant cousin but she's not too distant with me
We'll kiss all night I'll squeeze her tight
We're kissin' cousins that's what makes it alright alright alright alright

Oh I've got a girl and she taught me how to live
She can give a lot and she's got a lot to give
We'll kiss all night I'll squeeze her tight
We're kissin' cousins that's what makes it alright alright alright alright

Yes we're all cousins that's what I believe
Because we're children of Adam and Eve

I got a girl and she wants a lot of love
That's the kind of trouble I need plenty of
We'll kiss all night I'll squeeze her tight
We're kissin' cousins that's what makes it alright alright alright alright
We're kissin' cousins that's what makes it alright alright alright alright

Yes we're all cousins that's what I believe
Cause we're all children of Adam and Eve

Now I got a girl and she wants a lot of love...

ECHOES OF LOVE

(Ruth Batchelor - Bob Roberts) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Though you are gone I still wear your ring
They're playing the song we used to sing
Echoes of love echoes of love are coming to me out of the past

The letters you wrote I treasure them so
And I hear your voice wherever I go
Echoes of love echoes of love are coming to me out of the past

In the rustle of a breeze in the patter of the rain
In the rushing of the seas all I hear is your name

Come back my love and once you are near
Darling I know no more will I hear
Echoes of love echoes of love cause you'll be with me right in my heart
Echoes of love echoes of love cause you'll be with me right in my heart

IT'S A LONG LONELY HIGHWAY

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
It's a long lonely highway when you're travelling all alone
And it's a mean old world when you got no one to call your own
And you pass through towns too small to even have a name oh yeah
But you gotta keep on going on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on going though there's no one to care just keep a moving down the line

It's a long lonely highway without her by my side
And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried
My heart's so heavy it's a lowdown dirty shame oh yeah
You gotta keep on going on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on going though there's no one to care just keep a moving down the line

I got a rock for my pillow neath the weeping willow
And the cool grass for my bed
My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy
That I wouldn't be better off dead

Now it's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time
And if she don't come and get me well I'm gonna lose my mind
So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame oh yeah
You gotta keep on going on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on going though there's no one to care just keep a moving down the line
Moving down the line
