MR. AND MRS. UNTRUE

(Irwin Levine - Toni Wine) « © '71 Sosaha Music, BMI / Forty West Music, BMI / Irwin Levine Music, BMI »
Keep the shades on honey the hotel's kinda crowded tonight
I'd hate to meet someone we know and pose a smile when we don't wanna be polite
Take the elevator up and in a while I will follow you
But first I'll go and sign us in as Mr and Mrs Untrue

Pull my boots off baby ain't no one gonna see us now
We've got all the comforts of home with no responsibilities know how
What sweet memories we've made without a single I love you
And here we are again babe just Mr and Mrs Untrue

Turn the television down and come on over here
I don't wanna see a thing I wanna hold you near
Feel you close until the daylight takes you home
And then I'll follow on to face me goin' home

Put the shades back on baby and plase don't slam that door
You go first through the lobby off of lock take care like before
See you in a week and don't forget me Blue 50-5-0-2
Until the next time darling we're Mr and Mrs Untrue
Until the next time darling we're Mr and Mrs Untrue

ACT NATURALLY

(Johnny Russell - Voni Morrison) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally

Well I'll bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
I might win an Oscar you can't eever tell
Movies are gonna make me a big star
Cause I can play the part so very well

I hope you'll come to see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
[ guitar - harmonica ] We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee
I'm gonna play the part that I won't need rehearsing
All I gotta do is act naturally

Well I'll bet you I'm a gonna be a big star...
I hope you'll come to see me in the movies...
All I gotta do is act naturally

TOUCHING HOME

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens) « © '71 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Today pain became I realized a hurtin' thing
And the choir of loneliness sang me a song
Now I know just what it means to lose a lifetime dream
Cause today I can feel it touching home

No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone
Cause today I can feel it touching home
[ steel ] No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds...
Cause today I can feel it touching home

SWEET THANG

(Nat Stuckey) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI / Su-Ma Publishing, BMI »
I slipped out of the house about sundown
While mama was a washin' her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come a lookin' for me
When she finds that I'm not there
And if she catches her sweet thang out running around
I know there'll be the debit to pay
She'll come blowing like a cyclone right through that door
And I can hear exactly what she'll say

Well has anybody here seen sweet thang
I got a notion he'll be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you barroom roses
If my sweet thang should have a bite
You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have somethin' in your eyes
[ guitar - steel ] I gave my baby all my money on payday
Except a little she don't know that I got
Cause there's a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe
And she seems to like me quite a lot
Well we were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a talk
She believed in every word that I said
When the door blew open and mama walked in
Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead

Well has anybody here see my sweet thang
I got a notion he'll be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you cafe cuties if my sweet thang should have a bite
You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have somethin' in your eyes
You take all my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have somethin' in your eyes

SHE GOES WALKING THROUGH MY MIND

(Bill Eldridge - Gary Stewart - Walter Haynes) « © '71 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
She goes walking through my mind

I've tried to drive away her memory
But each night it comes back to torture me
Cause once again there she is right on time
When she goes walking through my mind

She goes walking through my mind
Tear it out a little each time
Her footsteps are getting louder all the time
When she goes walking through my mind

I've tried to drown my thoughts in the wine
But a glass full of heartaches's all I find
Cause once again there she is right on time
When she goes walking through my mind

She goes walking through my mind...

THIS OLD HEART WON'T LET GO

(Jimmie Helms) « © '71 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
This body wants to give up but this old heart just won't let go

These eyes of mine have cried all they can
Till I'm just a shell of what once was a man
And these shoulders're tired from carrying such a load
This body wants to give up but this old heart just won't let go

These lips are tired of callin' out her name
And these ears have listened till they drove this mind insane
And these trembling hands have let the whole world know
This body wants to give up but this old heart just won't let go

For there's just one chance she might come back into my world again
Even in million and one she's the only one that could make me want to live again
But almost every part of me says no
This body wants to give up but this old heart just won't let go
This body wants to give up but this old heart just won't let go

I'M STAYING

(Johnny Russell) « © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've been doing lots of talking bout some plans I made for walking
For I didn't like some things that you'd been saying
But before I get too very far my heart would ask me where you are
So I change my mind and I'm staying

Change my mind then I ain't never gonna leave
I'll learn to like the silly games you're playing
No matter what you say or do I'm gonna stick it out with you
For I change my mind and I'm staying
[ guitar - steel ] I could learn to live without you for my mind has learned to doubt you
But I know my poor old heart could do such paying
I couldn't take my heart with me and without it what would I be
So I change my mind and I'm staying

Change my mind and I ain't never gonna leave...
[ guitar ] Yeah I change my mind and I'm staying

LISTENING TO THE RAIN

(Don Devaney) « © '70 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I'm looking out the window at the rain the night is driving me crazy
It's just as cold inside all the warmth is gone without my baby
And in my mind something stirs and my lips start cryin' out your name
While I'm sittin' here wondering where you are and listening to the rain

The beatin' on the window can't compare with the beatin' that I'm taking
The window's gonna hold but look at me I'm already breaking
Mem'ries tugging at my heart and it's gonna break beneath the strain
While I'm sittin' here wondering where you are and listening to the rain

My mind has got you pictured in the arms and in the heart of some new love
I've tried to black it out but all my mind can see is him and you love
Knowing that it might be true that's the thing that's causin' all my pain
While I'm sittin' here wondering where you are and listening to the rain

While I'm sittin' here wondering where you are and listening to the rain
While I'm sittin' here wondering where you are and listening to the rain

YEAR THAT CLAYTON DELANEY DIED

(Tom T. Hall) « © '71 Hallnote Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
They said for the last two weeks that he suffered and cried
It made a big impression on me although I was a barefoot kid
They said he got religion at the end and I'm glad that he did

Now Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town
I thought he was a hero and I used to follow Clayton around
I often wondered why Clayton who seemed so good to me
Never took his guitar and made it down in Tennessee

Daddy said he drank a lot but I could never understand
I knew he used to picked up in Ohio with a five piece band
Clayton used to tell me son you better put that old guitar away
There ain't no money in it it'll lead you to an early gray

I guess if I'd admit it Clayton taught me how to drink booze
I can see him half stoned a pickin' up the Lovesick Blues
When Clayton died I made him a promise I was gonna carry on somehow
I'd give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now

I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
Nobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I cried
Well I know there's a lotta big preachers that know a lot more than I do
But it could be that the good Lord likes a little picking too
Yeah I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died

JUST ONE TIME

(Don Gibson) « © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If I could see you just one time
Oh how it'd ease my troubled mind
If I could hold you just one time
And then pretend that you're still mine

Lips that used to thrill me so
They now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time

Oh oh oh I miss you so oh I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one time
[ guitar - harmonica ] Wish I could relive just one time
Turn back the pages and there I'd find
That same old love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time

Oh oh oh I miss you so oh I need you so...
