DEVIL WOMAN

(Marty Robbins) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I told Mary about us I told her about our great sin
Mary cried and forgave me and Mary took me back again
Said if I wanted my freedom I could be free evermore
But I don't wanna be and I don't wanna see Mary cry anymore

Oh devil woman devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be and leave me alone I wanna go home

Mary is waitin' and weepin' down in her shack by the sea
Even after I've hurt her Mary's still in love with me
Devil woman it's over trapped no more by your charms
Yes I don't wanna stay I wanna get away woman let go of my arms

Oh devil woman devil woman let go of me...

Devil woman you're evil like the dark coral reef
Like the winds that bring high tides you bring sorrow and grief
You made me ashamed to face Mary I barely had the strenght to tell
Skies're not so black Mary took me back Mary has broken your spell

Oh devil woman devil woman let go of me...

Running alone by the seashore running as fast as I can
Even the seagulls are happy glad I'm coming home again
Never again will I ever cause another tear to fall
Down the beach I see what belongs to me the one I want most of all

Oh devil woman devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be leave me alone I'm going back home

AIN'T LIFE A CRYING SHAME

(Tony Senn - Harry McDowell) « © '59 Unichappell Music, BMI »
I'm tied to someone that's true and yet I love another too
Oh ain't life a crying shame
I hate to hurt them either one I want 'em both can't have but one
Oh ain't life a crying shame

I wish I knew which way to turn which love light should I let burn
Makes no difference how I choose I can't win I'll only lose
Bound to break somebody's heart tear somebody's world apart
Oh ain't life a crying shame
[ piano ] I wish I knew which way to turn...

TIME CAN'T MAKE ME FORGET

(Marty Robbins) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Time may heal the pain in my heart
But time can't make me forget
Time may hide the tears in my eyes
But time can't make me forget

The way you smiled and laughed with me
The way you'd speak so tenderly
And wedding bells I hear them yet
No time cannot make me forget
[ guitar ] The way you smiled and laughed with me...

IN THE ASHES OF AN OLD LOVE AFFAIR

(Leon Douglas) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
In the ashes of an old love I found the spark burning yet
As I watched it I kept thinking I could never forget
An old love that didn't last I saw my future just like my past
In the ashes of an old love affair

Then the spark grows in gay light to the world of romance
And it thrilled me to think there could still be a chance
In these mouldering embers I saw love burning bright
In the ashes of an old love affair
[ guitar ] Then the spark grows in gay light...

HANDS YOU'RE HOLDING NOW

(Marty Robbins) « © '58 Mariposa Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
The hands you're holding now if you remember
Are the very hands that gave you your first rose
They're reaching out for one last dying ember
In the ashes of the love that lost its glow

But if you don't want me I won't try to keep you
But there's just the smallest chance
You may be wrong so wrong so wrong
Until you're sure I hope you'll never let go
Of the hands that you've been holding for so long
[ piano ] I can't forgive the first time that I kissed you
It's the sweetest feeling I had ever known
But every dream they say must have an ending
And you leave the hands you're holding for so long

But if you don't want me..

WORRIED

(Marty Robbins) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Worried yes I'm worried because she just told me goodbye
Tell me what on earth am I to do
Worried yes I'm worried because she just walked out on me
Worried disappointed sad and blue

I feel just like I wanna die I know I've got the right to cry
Loving her is all I want to do
Oh worried yes I'm worried and I've got the right to be
She means more than this whole wide world to me
[ piano ] I feel just like I wanna die...

LITTLE RICH GIRL

(Marty Robbins) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
This is the end of the romance it was one love that just couldn't be
I couldn't give you a thing you don't already have
Little rich girl you're too good for me
My love for you was no secret it was one love that just couldn't be
I could never compete with the nice things you have
Little rich girl you're too good for me

May the warm winds of love keep your world all aglow
May you never be lonesome like me
May the cold chilly winds of despair never blow
Little rich girl you're too good for me
[ guitar ] May the warm winds of love...

PROGRESSIVE LOVE

(Marty Robbins) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Little by little step by step
Slowly but surely we fell in love
How did it happen it's easy to see
We didn't rush things we loved progressively
First came a smile and then we held hands much later came the kiss
If you'll just take your time if you search then you'll find
Progressive love won't miss
[ piano ] If you'll just take your time if you search then you'll find
Progressive love can't miss

I'M BEGINNING TO FORGET

(Marty Robbins) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
(I think I'm beginning to forget)

I think that I'm beginning to forget you
And I should because I tried with all my might
I think that I'm beginning to forget you
Cause I only cried a little bit last night

I think that I'm beginning to forget you
I think or maybe it just seems that way
I think that I'm beginning to forget you
Cause I only read your letters once today

Lately I hardly think about you
Unless I'm by myself or with a friend
I think that I'm beginning to forget you
Cause I only kiss your picture now and then
[ piano ] (I think I'm beginning to forget)
Lately I hardly think about you...

LOVE IS A HURTING GAME

(Jeff Clay) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Hang around too long why I can't explain
Should be glad you're gone love's a hurting game

Don't know why it happened who's to blame
Only know I'm crying love's a hurting game

If I seem bitter please don't condemn
I keep remembering what might have been

Don't know why it happened...

Just let the teardrops fall where they may
What does it matter anyway

Don't know why it happened...

KINDA HALFWAY FEEL

(Marty Robbins) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
(Kinda halfway feel that you and I are through)

Here I am and I'm alone and feeling lonely
Bothered by the thought that someone's holding you
Disappointed and I'm wanting your kiss only
Kinda halfway feel that you and I are through

I play the jukebox and I set you halfway hoping you'll walk in
And halfway knowing that you won't be by yourself
There's such a feeling in my heart I halfway face the truth
Kinda halfway feel that you want someone else

At a table where you used to sit beside me
In a corner that we felt was all our own
So in love that my heart's breaking up inside me
It's a different world when you're left all alone

I play the jukebox...

WINE FLOWED FREELY

(Joe Babcock) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI »
The days of my youth I remember so well
We lived in a world on our own
Nobody cared where my money came from
If I had it I wasn't alone

Oh the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine
How they all loved me back then
But here in my prison I'm sitting alone
And now where are all of my friends

So drink and be marry if that is your wish
Your soul's to the Lord I commend
Remember someday you may be as I am
With nothing not even a friend

Oh the wine flowed freely...

So here's to the freedom I never will have
For me it's not long till the end
But it's better to die than to spend forty years
With the cold prison walls for a friend

Oh the wine flowed freely...
