MARIE

(Irving Berlin) « © '58 Irving Berlin Music, ASCAP »
Marie the dawn is breaking Marie you'll soon be waking
To find your heart is aching and tears will fall as you recall
The night in all its splendor a kiss kiss kiss so very tender
The words won't you surrender to me hey Marie
[ guitar ] Hey Marie the dawn is breaking...

MONA LISA

(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans) « © '57 Famous Music, ASCAP »
Mona Lisa Mona Lisa men have named you
You're so like the lady with a mistic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa's strangnest in your smile

Do you smile to tempt the lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie that and they'd die there
Are you warm are you real Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art
[ piano ] Do you smile to tempt the lover...

MY JUANITA

(Jim Reeves - Caroline Norton) « © '58 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Nita Juanita ask Thy soul if we should part Nita Juanita lean Thou on my heart
Soft o'er the fountain ling'ring falls the southern moon
Far o'er the mountain breaks the day too soon
In Thy dark eyes' splendor where the warm light loves to dwell
Weary looks yet tender speak Thy fond farewell
(Nita Juanita let me linger by your side) Nita Juanita be my own fair bride
(Nita Juanita ask Thy soul if we should part) Nita Juanita lean Thou on my heart

I wonder if I keep on praying...

SWEET SUE JUST YOU

(Will J. Harris - Victor Young) « © '56 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
(Sweet sweet Sue sweet sweet Sue)

Every little star above knows the one I love sweet Sue just you
And the moon up high knows the reason why sweet Sue it's you
No one else it seems ever shares my dreams

And without you dear I don't know what I'd do
In this heart of mine you live all the time sweet Sue just you
[ piano - vibes ] (Every star above knows the one I love) it's you sweet Sue
(And the moon up high knows the reason why) it's you sweet Sue
Nobody else it seems ever shares my dreams

And without you dear...
You just you just you

LINDA

(Jack Lawrence) « © '58 MPL Music, ASCAP »
(Linda Linda I wish you were mine)

When I go to sleep I never count sheep I count all the charms about Linda
And lately it seems in all of my dreams I walk with my arms about Linda
But what good does it do me for Linda doesn't know I exist
I can't have feeling blue me cause just think of all the lovin' I've missed

We pass on the street my heart skips a beat I say to myself hello Linda
If only she'd smile I'd stop her a while and then I would get to know Linda
But miracle still happened and when my lucky star begins to shine
With one lucky break I'll make Linda mine
[ guitar ] We pass on the street...

RAMONA

(Wolfe L. Gilbert - Mabel Wayne) « © '55 Feist Catalog, ASCAP »
(Ramona Ramona) Ramona I hear the mission bells above
Ramona they're ringing out our song of love
I press you caress you and bless the day you taught me to care
I'll always remember the rambling rose you wore in your hair
Ramona when day's done you'll hear my call Ramona we'll meet beside the waterfall
I dread the dawn when I awake to find you gone Ramona I need you my own
(Ramona) when day is done you'll hear my call (Ramona) we'll meet beside the waterfall
I dread the dawn when I awake to find you gone Ramona I need you my own (Ramona)

MARIA ELENA

(S.K. Russell - Lorenzo Barcalata) « © '33 Peer International, BMI »
Maria Elena you're the answer to a prayer
Maria Elena can't you see how much I care
To me your voice is like the echo of a sigh
And when you're near my heart can't speak above a sigh

Maria Elena say that we will never part Maria Elena take me to your heart
A love like mine is great enough for two to share this love is really all I ask of you
[ guitar ] Maria Elena say...

MY MARY

(Stuart Hamblen - Jimmie Davis) « © '48 Hamblen Music, ASCAP »
(Mary big brown eyes Mary ruby lips)

I take a trip every evening journey down a memory lane
Strolling again those familiar paths dreaming those dreams again
I can always see my sweetheart dressed like she used to be
Waiting for someone by the garden gate I know that someone is me
Big brown eyes ruby lips can't you tell it's Mary
Rosy cheeks curly hair can't you tell it's my Mary

All times in the evenings we'd go scrolling
Hand in hand together beneath the pepper trees
I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight
Dreaming of the hours I've spent with my Mary

All times in the evenings...

GOODNIGHT IRENE

(Huddie Ledbetter - John A. Lomax) « © '50 Ludlow Music, BMI »
Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams

Last Saturday night I got married me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted so I'll take another stroll downtown

Irene goodnight Irene...

Sometimes I live in the country sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion to jump in the river and drown

Irene goodnight Irene...
