(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Honey bees are a gonna be hummin'
Guitar strings are a gonna be strummin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
Happy wheels are a gonna be turnin'
Flames of love are a gonna be burnin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

No more tears are a gonna be fallin'
I done heard my true love a callin'
Open arms are a waitin' yonder round the bend
A rivers of honey are a gonna be flowin'
Big sweet flowers are a gonna be growin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
[ guitar - steel ] The voice of love is a gonna be talkin'
Hand in hand we're gonna be walkin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
A big ole swings are a gonna be swingin'
Water springs are a gonna be springin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

No more tears are a gonna be fallin'...
Yeah when I'm back in my baby's arms again
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

GO AHEAD AND MAKE ME CRY

(Leslie Lyle)
« © '55 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Go ahead and make me cry go ahead and make me blue
Bring the teardrops to my eyes if that's what you wanna do
Go ahead and make me lonely darlin' I belong to you
For you are my one and only go ahead and make me blue

Darlin' I could never change so why should I complain
Even though you broke my heart it's yours to tear apart
Go ahead and make me live go ahead and let me die
This is all I have to give go ahead and make me cry
[ guitar ] Darlin' I could never change so why should I complain...

SAME AS MINE

(Marge Barton)
« © '65 Mimosa Publishing, BMI »
Mister postman gee I'm glad you came my way
Please take back this letter that you brought me yesterday
It's my name but you see you've got to find
That other girl in town whose name's the same as mine

Yes Mister postman it was opened by mistake
I read enough to know that someone's heart is gonna break
Her love is lost in each and ev'ry line
It's for a girl in town whose name's the same as mine

Mister postman I know you're not to blame
Anyone could make the same mistake it's such a common name

I guess you'd call it a strange coincidence
That someone's name is spelt the same at a different residence
Drop this letter off farther down the line
To that girl in town whose name's the same as mine
There must be a girl in town whose name's the same as mine

IF I TALK TO HIM

(Priscilla Mitchell - Dolores Edgin)
« © '65 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
If I talk to him I take him back again
So if he calls please tell him I'm not home

He's gone again I told him we were through
That he could live his life the way he wanted to
I said my love for him had died but I know it's not true
And if I talk to him my feelin's would show through

Yes if I talk to him I take him back again
I'm afraid to even answer the phone
Cause if I talk to him I take him back again
So if he calls please tell him I'm not home
[ steel ] I tell my heart I'm better off without him now
But like the other times he'd changed my mind somehow
He'd shed some tears and talk sweet talk so sure that I believe
But this time it's the end if he'll just let me be

But if I talk to him I take him back again...

AIN'T NOTHIN' SHAKIN' (BUT THE LEAVES)

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well ever since the day that you left me I been a whinin' like a little lost pup
The sun went down when you left town and it ain't gonna come back up
A walkin' and a wearin' out leather a scuffin' up the hardwood floor
A starin' at the phone since you've been gone and a listenin' for a knock on the door

Well there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze
There ain't nothin' happenin' with the birds and the bees
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves
[ steel ] Now hurt's lookin' in through the window my heartaches are laughin' in the hall
And I got news that ol' man blues is a seepin' through the cracks in the wall
The end is a waitin' round the corner and hope is a just about gone
If you only knew what I needed you then you'd come a runnin' back home

Oh well there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees...
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaved
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves

I DON'T HAVE ANYPLACE TO GO

(Bill Anderson)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
You told me late last night you wish I'd leave you
Your love for me is gone and we both know
I'll do anything I can to make you happy
But I don't have anyplace to go

I can't go running home cause I don't have one
To stay in town would be like dyin' slow
For ev'ry day I'd run into your mem'ry
I don't have anyplace to go
[ steel ] The fault is mine for loving you so deeply
No one should ever love another so
For there you stand tellin' me to leave you
And I don't have anyplace to go
I don't have anyplace to go

I'LL NEVER GET OVER LOVING YOU

(Connie Smith)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(I'll never get over lovin' you)

Ever since the day you said goodbye
And walked away with someone new
I can't be happy I just sit and cry
I'll never get over lovin' you

I have always been so happy with your love
I've been true I'll swear by stars above
Now you tell me you and I are through
But I'll never get over lovin' you
[ steel ] No one else could ever take your place
I've tried going out with one or two
But each time I look at them I see your face
No I'll never get over lovin' you

I can't figure out just what it is I've done
Did I ever make you cry or make you blue
Could it be you found someone you think
That you could never get over lovin' too

HOLDIN' ON

(Lee Emerson)
« © '65 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
Holdin' on barely holdin' on
I know if I let up you'll be gone
The thread's getting bare that's holdin' you here
And I'm just barely barely holdin' on

I never will forget that evenin'
You said the love is gone you were leavin'
The hands on the clock quit goin' around
And I was in the water goin' down

Holdin' on barely holdin' on...
[ steel ] Now ev'ry hour brings you closer to goin'
And I already feel the hurt a growin'
You're gonna leave a mighty lonely girl
How much longer can I hold you in my world

Cause I'm just holdin' on...
Yeah I'm just barely barely holdin' on

NOBODY BUT A FOOL (WOULD LOVE YOU)

(Bill Anderson)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Nobody but a fool would love you after the way you done me
Broke ev'ry vow you made me broke ev'ry rule
Who'd lie awake all night cry till you were out of sight
Lovin' you with all of her might nobody but a fool

I don't know what it was that made me trust you like I did
Stars got in my eyes or either rocks got in my head
All I knew was your two lips kissed me heavenly
Till yesterday those tender lips kissed goodbye to me

Nobody but a fool would love you after the way you done me...
[ steel ] Well people tried to tell me how you'd hurt me I suppose
But I was blind as any bat and deaf as any post
You clawed me like a tiger I loved you like a lamb
And knowin' I still do just shows me up for what I am

Cause nobody but a fool would love you after the way you done me...

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE

(Bill Anderson - Moneen Carpenter)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
The wedding bells have barely stopped their ringin'
But already all your love for me is gone
On the day that we were wed well I guess we should have said
For better or for worse but not for long

Now my dream of love has turned into a nightmare
For you say that in your life I don't belong
You said your vows I said mine but we both left out one line
For better or for worse but not for long
[ steel ] Oh the lifetime that we planned has been a short one
And the love that couldn't die did not live long
I wanted you eternally but you only wanted me
For better or for worse but not for long
For better or for worse but not for long

WILL THE REAL ME PLEASE STOP CRYING

(Bob Tubert)
« © '65 Vintage Music, BMI »
Will the real me please stop cryin' and let me let me forget

There are three faces that I wear the first says I don't care
The second one knows he's lyin'
The third one hides a heart that's been broken all apart
Will the real me please stop cryin'

Will the real me please stop cryin'
Lonely lonely tears of regret
Will the real me please stop cryin'
And let me let me forget
[ steel ] All three faces belong to me but there's one that no one sees
All of them know his love's dyin'
Two of them want to lie but the other just wants to cry
Will the real me please stop cryin'

Will the real me please stop cryin'...

IF YOU WON'T TELL ON ME

(Dallas Frazier)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Ol' heart the way our true love has been doin'
Just rips and tears my pride right half in two
I know you're just as much ashamed as I am
So if you won't tell on me I won't tell on you

Let's not breathe a word or they'll start sayin'
There they go the world's two greatest fools
Ol' heart there's not one doubt that we're both crazy
So if you won't tell on me I won't tell on you
[ steel ] Ol' heart I hope that no one will discover
The foolish things that his love made us do
We'd prob'ly have to pack and leave the country
So if you won't tell on me I won't tell on you

Let's not breathe a word or they'll start sayin'...
No if you won't tell on me I won't tell on you
