BABY YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND
(Bob Dylan)
« © '64 Special Rider Music, SESAC »
It might be the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Cause baby you've been on my mind
I don't mean trouble please don't put me down
Don't get upset I am not pleading
Or saying I can't forget you
Well it don't even matter who you awaken with tomorrow
Cause baby you've been on my mind
[ flute ]
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror
Oh you know I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'll just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her mind
It might be the color of the sun cut flat...
Baby you've been on my mind

SILVER THREADS AND GOLDEN NEEDLES
(Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds)
« © '56 Central Songs, BMI / Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
I don't want your lonely mansions with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised beneath the halo'd moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' games
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
[ steel ]
Silver threads and golden needles...
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

BET NO ONE EVER HURT THIS BAD
(Randy Newman)
« © '69 Unichappell Music, BMI / Little A Music, BMI »
Sit by my window watch the rain I hear it beatin' on my window pane
All the troubles I had bet no one ever hurt this bad
My baby left me all alone wait for a letter sit by the phone
It makes me so sad cause no one ever hurt this bad
Since you went away I can't face the day
Night brings nothing but pain
I thought I could go on I see that I was wrong
Baby please come home I just can't to be alone
Somebody somewhere hear my plea send my baby home to me
It would make me so glad cause no one ever hurt this bad
Since you went away I can't face the day...
Somebody somewhere hear my plea...
Sit by my window watch the rain I hear it beatin' on my window pane
Sit by my window watch the rain I hear it beatin' on my window pane

NUMBER AND A NAME
(Steve Gillette - Thomas Campbell)
« © '68 Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
How many times have I read farewell lines
In the things that you never seemed to say
How many times have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way
Words of goodbye and all those loving lines I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame that the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
How you would write about the bright lights
And your words always clouded up my eyes
How you would write about the bright lights
It's a wonder that I never realized
Our race was run now another's just begun I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame that the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
[ dobro ]
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they came in the flood of memories
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they ran like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day you slip further away I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame that the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

ONLY MAMA THAT'LL WALK THE LINE
(Ivy J. Bryant)
« © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
Well everybody knows you been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
I'm gonna hit you on the head with a pan of cornbread
If you had any sense you'd quit
Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl
I said you were the only man in this whole world
So now you'd better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only mama that'll walk the line
Well I'm a working every day all you wanna do is play
I'm gettin' tired of staying home all night
Well I'm a coming unglued from your funny little moods
Now honey baby that ain't right
Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl...
[ guitar ]
Well I'm a packin' up my clothes
Nearly everybody knows that you're still just a puttin' me on
And when I start a walkin' gonna hear you start a squawkin'
And a beggin' me to come back home
Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl...
You got the only mama that'll walk the line
You got the only mama that'll walk the line
You got the only mama that'll walk the line

LONG WAY AROUND
(Ken Edwards)
« © '69 Third Story Music, BMI »
It's a cinch that I've been wrong
And it's clear it's not been long
Since I was hard on you
But now a time has come when yesterday don't mean nothing
Now I'm in love with you and you've taken me the long way around
Take a look how young we are
A month has changed the moon and the stars
Changing the things we do
You've been looking for something strong
When other things don't mean nothing
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around
Well I can't see beyond the doubt that's in your eye
It's on the outskirts of my fading alibi
[ fiddle ]
It's a cinch that I've been wrong...
Now I'm in love with you and you've taken me the long way around

BREAK MY MIND
(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Baby oh baby
Tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine
Break my mind break my mind oh Lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babblin' fool behind
Baby oh baby
Well let me take your suitcase off of that scales in time
Tell the man that you've suddenly developed a thing about flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me you know you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind break my mind...
[ dobro ]
Break my mind break my mind...
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babblin' fool behind

I'LL BE YOUR BABY TONIGHT
(Bob Dylan)
« © '68 Dwarf Music, SESAC »
Close your eyes close the door
You don't have to worry anymore
I'll be your baby tonight
Shut the lights shut the shades
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight
Well that mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Well that big bad moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it you won't regret it
Kick your shoes off do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight
[ fiddle ]
Well that mockingbird is gonna sail away...
Kick your shoes off do not fear...

IT'S ABOUT TIME
(Chip Douglas)
« © '69 Hatlelid Foundation, BMI »
It only seems like yesterday you got a restless look
Said goodbye in the same old way like I knew you would
You remember do you remember everything we said
Promise made with a kiss for sure like a book I read
It's about time you came back anyway it's been a long long time
Been alone most every day you've been on my mind
I always wondered where you went to find some peace of mind
You never seemed to give much thought to leaving me behind
You remember do you remember...
It's about time you came back anyway...
It's about time you came back anyway...
You've been on my mind mhm

WE NEED A WHOLE LOT MORE OF JESUS
(Wayne Raney)
« © '69 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI / Oleta Publishing, BMI »
Well you can read it in the morning paper hear it on the radio
How crime is sweeping the nation this world is about to go
We need a good old case of salvation to put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus and a lot less rock and roll
We need more old time camp meetin's and a lot more prayers of faith
Prayers that will move a mountain save our souls from the burning waste
We need a good old case of salvation...
[ steel - guitar ]
We need more old fashioned preachers pourin' out their hearts in prayer
When you're in their presence well you know that the Lord is there
We need a nation wide revival to put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus and a lot less rock and roll
We need a whole lot more of Jesus and a lot less rock and roll

DOLPHINS
(Fred Neil)
« © '69 Third Story Music, BMI »
This old world may never change not the way it's been
And all the ways of war can't change it back again
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me
I'm not the one to tell this world how to get along
I only know that peace will come when all the hate is gone
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea...
[ guitar ]
Sometimes I think about Saturday's child
And all about the time when we were runnin' wild
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea...
