LOOSE TALK
(Freddie Hart - Ann Lucas)
« © '54 Central Songs, BMI »
So long we've been married life's burden we've carried
Though faith kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we make up someone seems to break up
Oh darlin' what else can we do
We may have to leave here to find peace of mind dear
Some place where we can live a life of our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
When I go out walkin' there's lots of loose talkin'
They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart
But darling it's not true because I still love you
And I do with all of my heart
We may have to leave here...
[ steel - guitar ]
They say you are leaving that you are deceiving
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them they're wrong that loose talk weill do harm
And hope that the truth they will see
We may have to leave here...
If some folks would leave us alone

THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE LONESOME
(Bill Anderson)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The streets're dark and empty and you walk them all alone
You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong
You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn
Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown
And that's what it's like to be lonesome
Without your love it's such an empty world
And that's what it's like to be lonesome
I know cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl
[ piano - steel ]
You search to find a tavern where the music's playing loud
You try to lose your heartache in the laughter of the crowd
But the happy couples make you think of things that could have been
And you have to fight the teardrops till you're by yourself again
And that's what it's like to be lonesome...

I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU
(Don Gibson)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I can't stop lovin' you so I've made up my mind
To live in memory of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago still make me blue
They say that time will heel a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
I can't stop lovin' you...

VIOLET AND A ROSE
(Mel Tillis - Bud Auge - John Reinfield)
« © '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
A violet fell in love with a rose and started it blushing from its head to its toes
Then one day the rose was kissed by the dew
A new love was born and the violet turned blue
Roses are red violets are blue
I'm sending red red roses to you
If you care to send some flowers to me
Then send me some violets I'm blue as can be
[ guitar ]
I wanted my love to bouquet with you
But just like the rose you've proven untrue
A flower that's wild they say has no home
And just like the violet I'm left all alone
Roses are red violets are blue...
Then send me some violets I'm blue as can be

JUST CALL ME LONESOME
(Rex Griffin)
« © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Why must I love a heartless one who'll never know the harm he's done
Though love is blind I should have known just call me lonesome from now on
I climb the stairs up to my room but no one meets me in the gloom
The silence tells me he is gone just call me lonesome from now on
[ guitar ]
These walls will hide me when I cry and hope that heaven lets me die
What good is life when hope is gone just call me lonesome from now on
I pray my memories at last will fade into the distant past
If I must live and love alone just call me lonesome from now on

FOGGY RIVER
(Fred Rose)
« © '46 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Your love is colder than a foggy river flowin' o'er a heart of stone
You left me stranded on this foggy river driftin' helpless and alone
Can't escape this broken heart of mine there's no freedom anymore
Oh heaven help me on this foggy river help me find the distant shore
[ steel + guitar ]
There's no tomorrow on this foggy river only mem'ries linger on
A mist of sorrow chills this foggy river ev'rything I love is gone
I always knew some day you'd let me down I've got troubles on my mind
Guess I'm doomed to sail this foggy river till I leave your love behind

THERE'S A BIG WHEEL
(Don Gibson)
« © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
There's a big wheel there's a big wheel he's a whole lot bigger than you
There's a big wheel there's a big wheel he's a whole lot bigger than me
When you think you've got the world by the tail
And you don't have to worry bout a thing
When you think the world can never hold you down
Do you ever think of his name
There's a big wheel there's a big wheel...
[ guitar ]
Do you ever stop to think how you got that worldly fame
Don't you know he's a watching over you anytime he can blot out your name
There's a big wheel there's a big wheel...
[ steel ]
If you think that you're a big big shot and ev'rything you do is a whiz
Just remember brother that ev'rything you've got is not your remember it's his
There's a big wheel there's a big wheel...

BORN TO LOSE
(Frankie Brown)
« © '43 Peer International, BMI »
Born to lose I've lived my life in vain ev'ry dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue born to lose and now I'm losin' you
Born to lose it seems so hard to bear how I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through born to lose and now I'm losin' you
[ guitar - steel ]
Born to lose my ev'ry hope is gone it's so hard to face that empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew born to lose and now I'm losin' you
There's no use to dream of happiness all I see is only loneliness
All my life I've always been so blue born to lose and now I'm losin' you

HALF A MIND
(Roger Miller)
« © '58 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I don't love you like I used to do but I'm afraid to tell you so
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half a heart to go
Words to tell you just don't come to me guess my courage is too slow
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half a heart to go
[ steel ]
Maybe time will prove you're not to blame but now's the time I need to know
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half a heart to go

WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE
(Roger Miller - Bill Anderson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Your world was so different from mine don't you see
And we couldn't be close though we tried
We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same
That's what happens when two worlds collide
Your world was made up of things sweet and good
My world could never fit in I wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide
[ guitar - steel ]
Your world was made up of things sweet and good...

CIGARETTES AND COFFEE BLUES
(Marty Robbins)
« © '58 Mariposa Music, BMI »
I guess I'll take a walk tonight I know that I can't sleep
And I won't go to bed at all I'd just lay there and weep
Instead I'll make our favorite spot that's what I think I'll do
I've got those smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee blues
Smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee all night long
Wonderin' how a love so right could suddenly go wrong
I'd grab the next bus out of town but I gotta be near you
I've got those smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee blues
[ piano ]
Sittin' at a table where my baby carved our names
Wonderin' how our love went wrong wonderin' who's to blame
Listenin' while the jukebox plays a song that makes me blue
Another cup of coffee and a cigarette or two
Smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee all night long
Wondering how the love so right could suddenly go wrong
A lot of bout the people know the miseries I go through
I've got those smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee blues

IF YOU'VE GOT THE MONEY (I'VE GOT THE TIME)
(Lefty Frizzell - Jim Beck)
« © '50 Peer International, BMI »
If you've got the money I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
We'll make all the night spots dance romance and dine
If you've got the money honey I've got the time
Well there ain't no use to tarry so let's start out tonight
We'll spread joy oh boy oh boy and we'll spread it right
We'll have more fun baby all the way down the line
If you've got the money honey I've got the time
[ piano ]
Well if you've got the money I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
Bring along your cadillac leave my old wreck behind
If you've got the money honey I've got the time
Yes we'll go honky tonkin' and we'll be pleasure bent
I'll look like a million but I won't have a cent
If you run short of money I'll run short of time
Cause you with no more money honey I've no more time
If you've got the money...
