WILLY JONES
(Buck Owens)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Met a boy named Willie Jones comes from the wrong side of town
Daddy said he ain't no good don't want him hanging around
Mama said that I'm too young to know what I feel
But I know I love Willy Jones and I always will
Willy Jones it's you and me against all the world
I don't care what people say I'm gonna be your girl
Just because our love is young don't mean it's not real
God knows I love Willy Jones and I always will
[ guitar ]
Hammers nails and puppy dog tails is what they call Willy Jones
Tambourines and guitar strings don't make us all wrong
Don't do this and don't do that has got my future looking dim
Oh Willy Jones can't come to me I'm gonna go to him
Willy Jones it's you and me against all the world...
Willy Jones it's you and me against all the world...

IN THE ARMS OF LOVE
(Buck Owens - Gene Price)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Save me from loneliness rescue me with your love
I'll be safe just as long as you keep me
Wrapped tightly in the arms of love
The arms of love are all I need around me
But I don't know what I'd do if you should go
So please give me what I dream of
The kind of dream sent from above
I'll be satisfied as long as you keep me
Wrapped tightly in the arms of love
The arms of love are all I need around me...
Keep me in happiness give me all your love
I won't cry a single tear if you'd keep me
Wrapped tightly in the arms of love
In the arms of love

HEARTBREAK MOUNTAIN
(Buck Owens)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain
Yeah I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Hill
I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain
Cause I've lost my will to live
Well it was six o'clock yesterday mornin'
When my sweet baby packed up to leave
It was six o'clock yesterday mornin'
And I ain't done nothin' but grieve
Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain...
[ guitar ]
Well I begged and I cried and I pleaded
For my sweet Willy not to go
Like the leaf that's caught in a whirl wind
Where he's gone now I'll never know
Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain...
[ harmonica ]
Now why does a girl let a fella
Turn her into a hollow shelf
And walk up and leave her behind him
Like a ship at sea with no sail
Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain...
Well I've lost my will to live

HAPPY TIMES ARE HERE AGAIN
(Buck Owens)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Happy times are here again
Ain't felt like this since I don't know when
Baby's coming in on the 12-0-10
Happy times are here again
I'm like a bird in the morning sun I'm like a bee in the honey comb
I'm like a child on the Christmas morn happy times are here again
No more sleepless nights so long no more walking the floor till dawn
Hugs and kisses from now on happy times are here again
Happy times are here again...
[ guitar ]
I'm gonna throw away my book gonna be wearing a brand new look
I'll take my telephone off the hook happy times are here again
I'm gonna wear a smile on my face loneliness is gonna be erased
To dance a jiggle all over the place happy times are here again
Happy times are here again...
Happy times are here again

L. A. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
(Leanne Scott)
« © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Standing in that silent hall waitin' for that final call
Says he doesn't love me anymore
Shaking hands I pack a bag trembling voice I call a cab
Slowly I start walking to the door
The cab arrives he blows his horn I stumble out in the early morn
Tell him of the place I've got to go
Cared a hundred single nights paid her bills and a traffic fine
Gettin' through these doors that's been so slow
LA International Airport where the big jet engines roar
LA Internation Airport I won't see him anymore
The stewardess in a miniskirt a hippie in a leather shirt
I started on the way to Naples Row
While I'm wondering where it's at I see a Paris diplomat
Call his kids while trying to get back home
Baggage car goes quickly by see my face and start to cry
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
And while I'm trying to get some rest I bite my lips and try my best
To fight the pain that's making me leave home
LA International Airport...
With silver wings across the sky paper trails and wave goodbye
To those below who've got to stay at home
I wish that I had flown at night so I could take that champagne flight
Rid myself of every tear I own
Soaring high above the heaven in a 747
Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
Captain's voice so load and clear amplifies into my ear
Insuring me and flying friendly skies
LA International Airport...

MERRY-GO-ROUND OF LOVE
(Buck Owens)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Merry merry merry-go-round bring my love back to me
Merry merry merry-go-round I'm as blue as can be
You promised to love me and never to leave me
To always be true and to never deceive me
And though you are gone now my heart still believes
That you'll soon be returning to me
Merry merry-go-round...
No use to deny that I went for a ride
But it seemed like the right thing to do
And now I'm lost with no place to get off of
This merry-go-round with you
Merry merry merry-go-round...
Merry merry merry-go-round...

HELLO HAPPINESS GOODBYE LONELINESS
(Buck Owens)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Hello happiness goodbye loneliness
Farewell heartaches and so long strife
No more sadness only gladness
My little darling's coming home tonight
He called me today said he's on her way
That he'd be in on the 6-0-10
He said we had a date warned me don't be late
Promised he never ever leave again
Hello happiness goodbye loneliness...
[ guitar ]
We'll take in the town we'll turn it upside down
New Year is easy comin' early this year
Bad times are a gonna go and the good times are a gonna grow
My little darling's gonna soon be here
Hello happiness goodbye loneliness...
My little darling's coming home tonight
