ROLY POLY

(Fred Rose) « © '56 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Roly Poly eatin' corn and taters hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly knowin' all the biscuits long as he can chew it it's okay
He can eat an apple pie and never even bat an eye
He likes everything from a soup to hay
Roly Poly daddy's little fatty bet he's gonna be a man someday

Roly Poly scrambled eggs for breakfast bread and jelly twenty times a day
Roly Poly eats a hard day dinner it takes lots of strenght to run and play
Bowls up weeds and does the chores runs both ways to all the stores
He waers up that apetite that way
Roly Poly daddy's little fatty bet he's gonna be a man someday
[ steel - fiddle ] Roly Poly scrambled eggs for breakfast...

HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT I LOVE YOU

(Scott Wiseman) « © '45 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Have I told you lately that I love you could I tell you once again somehow
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you well darling I'm telling you now

My world would end today if you should lose you I'm no good without you anyhow
This heart would break in two if you refuse me my darling I'm telling you now
[ fiddle - steel ] Have I told you lately how I miss you when the stars are shining in the sky
Have I told you lately why the nights are long when you're not with me
Well darling I'm telling you now

My world would end today...

BREEZE (BLOW MY BABY BACK TO ME)

(Ted Daffan - Bernard W. Landes) « © '47 Peer International, BMI »
Breeze you took her from my side she was my blushing bride
Oh hear my plea hear my plea
Hear me begging you upon my knees bring her back sweet evening breeze
Bring my baby back to me

It's an ill wind that blows nobody good blows nobody good they say
It's an ill wind that blows nobody good that blow my gal away
Breeze you took my gal way I've had the blues all day since early dawn early dawn
You come a whisperin' through the trees little breeze
When I woke up this morning she was gone she was gone

Breeze you took her from my side...
Hear me begging you upon my knees...

WALTZING ON TOP OF THE WORLD

(Jim Reeves - Al Courtney) « © '55 Tree Publishing, BMI / Athens Music, BMI »
If all of the stars were a million guitars and the moon was the girl that I loved
If they played for me and to each melody we could dance in the heaven's above
If all of my wishes turn out to be kisses from an angel's sweet face full of charms
Make believe this is real then you'll know how I feel
When I'm waltzing with you in my arms

Waltzing with my darling in a paradise with my girl
The moment I found you my heart left the ground to go waltzing on top of the world
[ fiddle ] If all of the stars should lay down their guitars that never would mean we should pose
The Man in The Moon mighty chum to this tune and play our love song while we waltz
We'dll go right on dancing and find sweet romancing when we'll linger to love
Oh darlimng how sweet you look swinging your feet from a silver lined cloud high above

Waltzing with my darling in a paradise...

OKLAHOMA HILLS

(Woody Guthrie - Jack Guthrie) « © '45 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Many years have come and gone since I wandered from my home
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born
Many a page of life has turned many a lesson I have learned
And I feel that in those hills I still belong

Way down yonder in the Indian nation ride my pony on the reservation
In the Oklahoma hills where I was born
A way down yonder in the Indian nation a cowboy's life is my occupation
In the Oklahoma hills where I was born

As I sit here today many miles I am away
From a place I rode my pony through the drove
Where the oak and blackjack trees kiss the playful prairie breeze
In the Oklahoma hills where I was born

Way down yonder in the Indian nation...
[ guitar ] As I turn life a page to the land of a great old sage
In the Oklahoma hills where I was born
Where the Blackbony River flows in the snow white cotton grows
In the Oklahoma hills where I was born
Way down yonder in the Indian nation...

LOVE ME A LITTLE BIT MORE

(Kenny Marlow - Cliff Maynard) « © '55 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Tease me a little bit squeeze me a little bit love me a little bit more
Love me a little bit can't get enough of it tell me I'm the one you adore
I'm in a pettin' mood you've got me hooked for good
I'm yours and that's for sure
Squeeze me a little bit tease me a little bit love me a little bit more

Mommy warned me I'd meet girls who'd make me feel like this
But she never mentioned these crazy flip-flops my heart does when we kiss
Oh what a shape I'm in you've got me in a spin never felt this way before
You make a livin' seem just like a pretty dream love me a little bit more
[ piano - steel - fiddle ] Love me a little bit kiss me and never quit you know I want it that way
I dream of a honeymoon it can't be too soon just can't wait for the day
I want to share your life want you to be my wife a feeling I can't ignore
Crazy bout your charms want you in my arms love me a little bit more

The first day when you smiled at me you had me on your string
You got me building my dreams around the month of June and a wedding ring
Love me a little bit can't get enough of it I'm standing at your door
Love me all the time say you'll be only mine love me a little bit more

Mommy warned me I'd meet girls...

Tweedle o'twill puffin' on corn silks tweedle o'twill widdlin' wood
Sittin' there wishin' he could go fishin' over the hill tweedle o'twill

Tweedle o'twill don't he look drowsy tweedle o'twill noddin' his head

Takin' it easy out where it's breezy better be still tweedle o'twill

Tweedle o'twill swattin' a horsefly tweedle o'twill ticklin' his nose
Birds of a feather flockin' together gettin' a thrill tweedle o'twill

EACH TIME YOU LEAVE

(Scott Wiseman) « © '55 Regent Music, BMI »
Each time you leave I die a little say I'm foolish if you will
But no matter how I try each time you say goodbye
My foolish heart just won't be still

Each time you leave I die a little I'm so afraid I'll lose you dear
Hold me and say that you'll always stay I only live when you are near
[ steel ] Each time you leave I die a little...

ICHABOT CRANE

(Jim Reeves) « © '55 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'll tell you a story of a love and his flame you've read about him he's Ichabot Crane
He went a courtin' one night on his horse and Sleepy Hollow they both had to cross
While ridin' and thinkin' bout the girl he would wed
It was there that old Ichabot lost his head
Across Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow and follow and follow poor Ichabot Crane
Don't want to end up like Ichabot Crane who lost his head and went up in the flame
Sleepy Hollow I'm gonna evade that was the mistake that poor Ichabot made
I'm a losin' my head and startin' to burn ain't any too smart but I'm willin' to learn
You can't talk me in to a staying out late that was poor Ichabot's biggest mistake
Across Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow and follow and follow poor Ichabot Crane
[ guitar ] In the legend of Sleepy Hollow tis said the horseman had a pumpkin for a head
My head may be sore and I may not be bright
Just one more little kiss and that's all for tonight
I'm afraid that your kisses will drive me insane and I'll end up like Ichabot Crane
I'm a headin' right home and a jumpin' in bed
That's the best way I know to hang on to my head
Across Sleepy Hollow your mem'ry will follow and follow and follow this Ichabot Crane

YOUR OLD LOVE LETTERS

(Johnny Bond) « © '55 Red River Songs, BMI »
Today I burned your old love letters burned them gently one by one
Before I'd light the flame I'd read them to try and find the wrong I've done
The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one broke my heart in two
Our love is there among the ambers in the ashes of your letters tied in blue
[ fiddle - steel ] Today I burned your old love letters I watched our love go up in smoke
I lived again those precious mem'ries I heard each tender word you spoke
The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one said that we were through
Our love is there among the ambers in the ashes of your letters tied in blue

BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT

(Ted Daffan - Theda Daffan) « © '55 Peer International, BMI »
You are my guiding star the one that I can't live without
All these things I know you are beyond the shadow of a doubt

Through rain through snow or storm the coldest darkest hour out
Your love will keep me warm beyond the shadow of a doubt
[ fiddle - steel ] No gates no bars my dear will ever serve to keep me out
Call my name and I'll be there beyond the shadow of a doubt

Through rain through snow or storm...

HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE

(Jim Hess) « © '55 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
I'm traveling the highway to nowhere cause I can't find the road to your heart
This old road is so rough and so rocky I get lost on the highway to your heart
This highway to nowhere keeps calling your heart's at the end of the line
But I always get lost on a detour I guess I don't understand the signs
[ steel - fiddle ] I've travelled this highway so long now but I know I'm no closer to your heart
Down this long lonesome road I'll keep traveling
Though I know I've been lost from the start
This highway to nowhere I'll follow the road's dark but I keep trudging on
And tomorrow I'll be back where I started it's the highway to nowhere that I'm on
