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

THING CALLED LOVE

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '67 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
Six foot six he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
[ guitar ] He was the kind of man that would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him cryin' like a little whipped pup because of love

Can't see it with your eyes hold it in your hand
But like the wind that covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man this thing called love
It can lift you up it can let you down take your world turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found stronger than love
[ guitar ] Most men are like me they struggle in doubt
They trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with livin' to worry about a word called love
[ guitar ] But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her brest
Than I thank God this world's been blessed with a word called love

Can't see it with your eyes...

YOU WOULDN'T KNOW A GOOD THING

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '67 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
If you put your mind to it and you try just a little bit
Well I know you could be the biggest fool of the world
You had yourself quite a woman the kind you don't find everyday
And just like a fool son you love her get away

You wouldn't know good thing if it came around
You wouldn't know a good thing if it knocked you down hmm
[ guitar ] I hate to say that you're a fool but there's gonna come a time when you'll
Curse the day you let her love slip through your hands
Waitin' till you try to find someone to take the place of her
That's when you'll find out son how big a fool you were

You wouldn't know good thing...

SAVE YOUR DREAMS

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '67 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
Save your dreams and all your special hopes and plans
For another day another man
And save your love don't give your heart to a man like me
I got a restless soul I long to be free

But if I should ever fall in love
Then I'd love someone just like you
But I know that I would never be
The man to make your dreams come true

Don't think of me as a man that you could have and hold
And teach to love heart and soul
For it can't be this heart of mine is a restless thing
And I'll be gone someday so save your dreams

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '67 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
I'm almost crazy almost crazy
Couldn't go to sleep last night walked the floor until the daylight
Thinkin' how it used to be when you were here with me
And honey I'll live with your memory till I'm almost crazy almost crazy

I've paid a million times for the way I've been so blind
Cause everytime I think of you my heart wants to break in two
And I'm no notning nothing but the blues till I'm almost crazy hmm

Well I'm gonna prove to you that my love is really true
Cause honey I've cried and cried for you till I'm almost crazy almost crazy

YOU'VE BEEN CRYIN' AGAIN

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '67 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
You've been cryin' again you've been cryin' again
That old flame hasn't died it's still signed where it's always been
Will there always be this old memory to keep haunting me
For I see you've been cryin' again

Won't you ever forget won't you ever set his mem'ry free
And fall in love with me
Yesterday's gone but you keep hanging on
Yes it seems he's all that's in your dreams

You've been cryin' again cryin' again
Well yesterday haunt your life this way well it never end
Did you love him so that you just can't let go
Well it must be so for I know you've been cryin' again
You've been cryin' again cryin' again

FINE ON MY MIND

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '67 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
Well girl you're fine on my mind all the time
Fine on my mind all the time
I never met a woman quite like you and all the sweet things you do
Stay fine on my mind all the time

My papa said someday boy true love's gonna come your way
Someday some woman's gonna love you right out of your mind
You'll lose your appetite you won't be able to sleep at night
For thinkin' bout some woman all the time

Well girl you're fine on my mind all the time...
[ guitar ] Well if papa could just see me Lord I know how tickled he'd be
To know some woman got me talkin' to myself
And it's been like this since it come first time we kissed
I can't seem to think about nothin' else

Yes girl you're fine on my mind all the time...

TUPELO MISSISSIPPI FLASH

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '67 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
I'm gonna tell you a story that's all about
This job I had one time as a talent scout hmm
I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasn't in town
The day this hairy legged guitar picker just happened to come around hmm
Well he walks into my office with this great big grin
And folks that's where my story really begins

He said son my name is Beauregard Rippy
I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi
I write songs and I sing like a bird
I play licks on my guitar like you ain't never heard
But I'm down on my luck and things are just a little slack
I got a quarter in my pocket and a shirt on my back
You promise me some supper and give me a place I can sleep
I'll sing you some songs that'll knock your hat in the creek
I got talent boy said back home they called me the Tupelo Mississippi Flash

Well I knew I's in a room with some kind of a nut
When he pulled out that pack of used cigarette butts
So that's when I told him we can't use you today
So I hand the boy a dollar and send him on his way
Well the boss got back and we both had a laugh
When I told him bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash
And pretty soon I had this story circulatin' around
about this Mississippi nut that we had in our town
I said watch him everybody this boy's squirrelly
He walks around callin' himself the Tupelo Mississippi Flash

Well then it happened one day I was drivin' to my home
I just happened to have my car radio on
When I heard a jockey ravin' bout a brand new smash
By a kid called the Tupelo Mississippi Flash
Why I almost wrecked my automobile
I went through red light I hit a traffic cop
Why well my story's got an ending and it's short and sweet
The Boss man he fire me and left me out in the street
But I got a new job and I'm learnin' real fast
I'm drivin' the bus for the Tupelo Mississippi Flash
And his Cadillac I'm drivin' that for him too
And that yacht he's got and his airplane
Ha ha well chauffer so good I always say
Huh Tupelo Mississippi who ever heard of it
Why I'll kill the boy help him somebody

WABASH CANNONBALL

(A.P. Carter) « © '46 Peer International, BMI »
Hmm from the big Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
As she climbs along the woodlands to the hills and by the shore
Well she's a mighty big and handsome and she's known quite well by all
She's a regular combination called the Wabash Cannonball

Well now she came in from Birmingham one cold December day
And as she rolled into the station well you could hear all the people say
Now there's a little gal from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She just came in from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
[ guitar ] Now here's to Daddy Claxton may his name forever stand
And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land
His earthly race is over and the curtains around him fall
And we'll take him home to Victory on the Wabash Cannonball

HALLELUJAH I LOVE HER SO

(Ray Charles) « © '56 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Let me tell you bout a girl I know she's my baby and she lives next door
Every morning when the sun comes up she puts my coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so

When I'm in trouble and I need a friend I know she'll stick with me untill the end
Everybody asks me how you know I smile at them and say she told me so
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so

And when I call her on the telephone say her honey Jerry's all alone
By the time I count from one to four I hear her (bang bang) on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down when there ain't nobody else around
She looks at me and she holds me tight and tells me Jerry everything's all right
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so
Pick it son
[ guitar ] And when I call her on the telephone...
Yeah hallelujah I just love her so hallelujah I just love her so
