HE'LL HAVE TO GO

(Joe Allison - Audrey Allison) « © '58 Central Songs, BMI »
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

Whisper to me tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go

You can say the words I wanna hear while you're with another man
Do you want me answer yes or no darling I will understand

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

FOUR WALLS

(George Campbell - Marvin Moore) « © '57 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Out where the bright lights are glowing
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing
While I sit and whisper your name

Four walls to hear me four walls to see
Four walls too near me closing in on me

Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
But my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love not for hating
So here where you left me I'll stay

One night with you is like heaven
And so while I'm walking this floor
I listen for steps in the hallway
And wait for your knock on my door

Four walls to hear me four walls to see
Four walls too near me closing in on me
Closing in on me

GUILTY

(Alex Zanetis) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've been accused convicted and condemned
The trial's over and now I face the end
Is this your way of telling me we're through
When all I'm guilty of is loving you

You were the judge the jury all in one
You found me guilty and now my terms begun
I must confess I've never been untrue
And all I'm guilty of is loving you

Loving you and now I'm losing you
Losing you for things I didn't do

Please let your heart consider and appeal
For now you know exactly how I feel
Don't punish me for things I didn't do
When all I'm guilty of is loving you
Yes all I'm guilty of is loving you

BLUE BOY

(Boudleaux Bryant) « © '57 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Blue boy that's what they call me
Cause I'm so lonely since I lost you
Blue boy I'm known as blue boy
You found the new boy and now we're through

I had a twinkle in my eye when our sweet love was new
Now all I do is moan and cry and hunger after you
Blue boy I'll be a blue boy until you need me as I need you

(I had a twinkle in my eye when our sweet love was new)
Now all I do is moan and cry and hunger after you
Blue boy I'll be a blue boy until you need me as I need you
As I need you

I'M GETTIN' BETTER

(Jim Reeves) « © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I walked by the river where we said goodbye
Thought of your kisses and didn't even cry
I'm gettin' better I'm gettin' better

I talked with an old friend he asked about you
I managed to tell him with just a tear or two
I'm gettin' better I'm gettin' better

I know I'll never be the same
I was standing too close to the flame
But it doesn't hurt so much to hear your name
I think I'll make it I'm gettin' better

BLIZZARD

(Harlan Howard) « © '60 Red River Songs, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
There's a blizzard comin' on how I'm wishin' I was home
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
Listen to that northern sigh if we don't get home we'll die
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
It's only seven miles to Mary Anne

You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly suppertime
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
Lord my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes
But it's only five more miles to Mary Anne
It's only five more miles to Mary Anne

That wind's howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams
And we'd best be moving faster if we can
Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm
For it's only three more miles to Mary Anne
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne

Dan get up your ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us
I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
All right Dan perhaps it's best that we'll just stop awhile and rest
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne
It's still a hundred yeards to Mary Anne

Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn
He had made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan
Yes they found him there on the plains his hands froze to the reins
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne

AM I LOSING YOU

(Jim Reeves) « © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Am I losing you are my fears coming true
How I wish I knew am I losing you
Is your love really through is there somebody new
Tell me what to do am I losing you

Am I too blind to see what's been happ'ning to me
Every road has a bend will I be sweetheart or friend
Will the sweet things you do be for somebody new
Tell me what to do am I losing you

Am I too blind to see what's been happ'ning to me...

BILLY BAYOU

(Roger Miller) « © '58 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Back about eighteen hundred and some
A Louisiana couple had a red headed son
No name soothe him Jim Jack or Joe
They just called him Billy Bayou

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go
You're walkin' on quick sand and walk slow
Billy Billy Bayou watch what you say
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
[ guitar ] Billy was a boy kinda big for a size
Red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
Thirteen years from the day he was born
Bill fought the battles of the Little Big Horn

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go...
[ guitar ] One said day Billy cried ho-ho
I can whip the feathers of Geronimo
He smarted off the chief got mad
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go...
[ guitar ] One day in 1878
A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to stand there and run
He wound up married cause he did neighter one

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go...
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

ANNA MARIE

(Cindy Walker) « © '57 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Tonight while the snowflakes are falling here in my dreams I can see
The wild cherry blossoms of Shima where I walk with Anna Marie

Anna Marie Anna Marie my heart remembers and sighs
C'est vouz c'est vouz me ames beacoup I miss you Anna Marie
[ piano ] My love was pledged to another but I knew as I crossed the sea
That I'd never love any other as I love my Anna Marie

Anna Marie Anna Marie...
(I miss you Anna Marie)

STAND AT YOUR WINDOW

(Jim Carroll) « © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Stand at your window some night again let me see
The one who is holding the best part of me
Stand at your window some night look at my side of town
Remember if you change your mind you know where I'll be found

Each night I look up at your mansion
I can see the window where the light shines through
And I wonder if you still remember
The one that you left for someone new

Stand at your window some night...

Each night as I wait here in the darkness
I watch your window so high above
I'm longing for a look at my old sweetheart
Just a glimpse of the one that I still love

Stand at your window some night...

ADIOS AMIGO

(Jerry Livingston - Ralph Freed) « © '62 Milene Music, ASCAP / Hallmark Music, ASCAP »
Adios amigo adios my friend
The road we have traveled has come to an end
When two love the same love one love has to lose
And it's you who she longs for it's you she will choose

Adios compadre what must be must be
Remember to name one muchacho for me
I ride to the Rio where my life I will spend
Adios amigo adios my friend
[ whistle ] Adios compadre let us shed no tears
May all your mananas bring joy through the years
Away from these mem'ries my life I must spend
Adios amigo adios my friend

DANNY BOY

(Fred Weatherly) « © '53 Boosey & Hawkes Music, ASCAP »
Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the flowers dying
It's you it's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valleys there are white with snow
It's I'll be near in sunshine or in shadows
Oh Danny Boy oh Danny Boy I love you so
Oh Danny Boy oh Danny Boy I love you so
