ALABAMA JUBILEE

(Jack Yellen - Georg L. Cobb) « © '42 Edwin H Morris Co, ASCAP »
Well you oughta see deacon Jones as he rattles the bones
Ol' parson Brown jumpin' round like a clown
Ol' aged mama she done past eighty-three
Shoutin' out I'm full o'pep
Grab away and help yourself
Well one legged Joe jumpin' around on his ol' toe
Throw away his crutch and hollered hey here we go
Well it's hail hail the gang's all here for the Alabama Jubilee
[ guitar - banjo ] Well you oughta see deacon Jones...
[ guitar ] **********

REMEMBERING

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '67 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
Every night I go down to this same little joint
Fill up my glass till I reach the point past remembering
Where the music is loud the conversation is free
A dance or two with someone to keep me from remembering
The fool I've been the hurt I've caused the good woman that I loved and lost
For she's constantly with me in memory
I go home but I couldn't sleep
And after hours I'd be walkin' the streets remembering

A good woman's love is hard to find
And my woman's love was just that kind

And I'm the reason that she's gone today
I miss her so and the price that I pay is remembering
I take her to sleep in my dreams every night
Then start all over in the morning light remebering
The way it was when she loved me then like a fool how I carelessly
Broke her heart then watched my world fall apart
I'd give this world for yesterday just to have her love me the way I remember
Just to have her love me the way I remember

KENTUCKY

(Karl Davis) « © '42 WB Music, ASCAP »
Kentucky you are the dearest land outside of heaven to me
Kentucky I miss your laurels and your redbud trees
When I die I want to rest upon the graceful mountains so high
For that is where God will look for me
[ guitar ] Kentucky I miss the songs they're singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky how I miss those hound dogs chasing coons
I know that my mother dad and sweetheart are awaiting for me
Kentucky I'll be returning soon

MILLER'S CAVE

(Jack Clement) « © '60 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Way down in the state of Georgia in the swamps and everglades
There's a big old hole on backside of Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave
[ guitar ] Well I had a girl in way cross Georgia oh but she had unfaithful ways
God she made me feel feel like I was unwanted
Kinda like the birds and the bears that hang around the Miller's Cave
[ guitar ] Well I caught her out last Saturday evening with some dude everybody call Big Dave
That's the meanest man ever hid way cross Georgia
Rather fight me a big old mountain lion in Miller's Cave
[ guitar ] So I said you're gonna pay both you and little baby
Woman I'm gonna see you see you in your graves
Well they laughed at me oh Lord and then I shot 'em
Then I drag their lion skin and bones to Miller's Cave
[ guitar ] Well I couldn't stand stand the way she done me
So I guess I showed showed her I was brave
The most wanted man that ever hid the state of Georgia
But they'll never find me because I'm lost in Miller's Cave

OKLAHOMA SUNSHINE

(Mike Settle) « © '75 House Of Music, BMI »
I can almost smell the Hick'ry smoke hear the fireside talk of the old homefolk
See the roses on the hillside growing wild
I can almost touch the dogwood trees taste the air and memories
Scenes that I grew up on as a child

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime
Clothes were dryin' on an old clothes line
Fishin' on the lake with a long lost friend of mine
In the Oklahoma sunshine

Well I grew up and moved away but I can't forget about the good old days
Thinkin' bout the way life used to be
I got married and I had some kids now I tell 'em bout the things I did
Paintin' pictures of a world they'll never see

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime...

Well I ain't sayin' my life is bad but Lord I wish I only had
The comforts that they can't build in machines
Like many space with room to grow air to breathe and a country road
That leads to some places peaceful and screne

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime...
