REAL GOOD WOMAN

(Johnny Mosby - Jonie Mosby)
« © '68 Central Songs, BMI »
There oughta be a law against your runnin' around and leavin' me home at night
I tried ev'rything that I know how to get you to treat me right
Why in the world did you marry me I just don't understand
How you expect a real good woman to stay with a no good man

You know I love you with all of my heart and that's the way it should be
But you're spreadin' good will all around town that rightfully belongs to me
You want me to honor our marriage vows but on the other hand
How you expect a real good woman to stay with a no good man

Well ev'ry Friday when you get paid I have to telephone to hunt you down
All the bartenders know my voice and they say you're not around
You can take all of yours so called friends and keep 'em if you can
But you can't keep a real good woman by bein' a no good man
[ guitar - steel ] Well ev'ry Friday when you get paid...
No you can't keep a real good woman by bein' a no good man

OLD BRIDGE

(Hank Mills)
« © '67 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Just like some breeze you've drifted back again
You didn't bother to inform me you knew I'd let you in
I thought I knew it all but I'm still learnin'
Yes I'm just an old bridge that you keep burnin'

You just can't stand to see my world go round
With just a kiss our worlds collide and mine comes crashing down
You stand by laughing while it's over turning
Yes I'm just an ole bridge that you keep burning

What is this magic spell you weave to make sure I can't win
What is the pow'r you must possess to light the flame again
Before this hurting's gone you'll be returning
Yes I'm just an old bridge that you keep burning
Yes I'm just an old bridge that you keep burning

WALK ON OUT OF MY MIND

(Red Lane)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I hear the echo of your footsteps
They're right in step with marchin' time
Since you've walked out of my life out of my world
Please walk on out of my mind

I know you're hidin' there in the darkness
It's got me runnin' scared and blind
Since you've walked out of my life out of my world
Please walk on out of my mind

You've got footprints all over my mem'ries
I must erase them if I can
You keep a stumblin' through my hopes and dreams
Tippin' around my future plans

You've got me walkin' round in circles
Lookin' for somethin' I'll never find
Since you've walked out of my life out of my world
Please walk on out of my mind

MY WORLD IS YOU

(Warner McPherson - Bandy Keith)
« © '68 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
If you gave me the moon in the heaven
And added a star or two
It couldn't compare with the love we share
Cause my world is you

No no one has ever had a feelin'
Like the one I have for you
Each beat of my heart keeps revealin'
That my world is you

My dreams would end if you should leave me
Life would be so empty without you
In all the world there's no other
To love me like you do

If someone ever came between us
My world would all fall through
For darling you see you're just a part of me
Cause my world is you
My world is you

ALL RIGHT (I'LL SIGN THE PAPERS)

(Mel Tillis)
« © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I've tried so hard to keep our home alive
But you don't even care that I'm around
You tell me that somehow our love has died
And you'd rather be set free than be tied down

All right I'll sign the papers
Even though you know I love you so
All right I'll sign the papers
But oh how it hurts to see you go
[ guitar - steel ] I've laid awake at nights when you were gone
And thought of all the things that I could do
To try and make you happy when you came home
But the more I try the more you make me blue

All right I'll sign the papers...

LAST THING ON MY MIND

(Tom Paxton)
« © '66 UA Music, ASCAP »
It's a lesson too late for the learnin' made of sand made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin' in your hand in your hand

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could've loved you better didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

As we walk along my thoughts're tumblin' round and round round and round
Underneath our feet a subway's rumblin' underground underground

Are you going away...
[ guitar ] You've got reasons of plenty for goin' this I know this I know
The weeds have been steadily growin' please don't go please don't go

Are you going away...
You know that was the last thing on my mind

TAKE ME TO YOUR WORLD

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
If you can find it in your heart to just forgive
I'll come back and live the way you wanted me to live
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world

Take me to your world away from barrooms filled with smoke
Where I won't have to serve a drink or hear another dirty joke
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world
[ guitar - steel ] Take me to your world make me forget the things I've heard
Where people say I love you and love is not a dirty word
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world
Please come and get me and take me to your world

JUST FOR YOU

(Curly Putman - Larry Butler)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Just for you just for you
That's why I say the things I say and I do the things I do
No one else can make my arms feel like they're wrapped around the world
Yes I live my life just for you

Each day I wake up with a kiss just for you
And I count my many blessings and I thank the Lord for you
And each minute of the day I live a dream that has come true
Yes I live my life just for you

Just for you just for you...
Yes I live my life just for you

ALL THE TIME

(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker)
« © '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
All the time yes darling all the time
Tenderly constantly I'll love you
Ev'ry day I'll prove it ev'ry day
In happiness or in loneliness I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me but don't let it worry you
For when if they tempt me I'll never be untrue
All the time yes darling all the time
Through the years smiles or tears I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me...

TROUBLE WITH GIRLS

(Ted Harris)
« © '68 Plainspoken Music, ASCAP »
Life ain't fun until you get you one don't know what it is about 'em
But you can't dismiss or mark 'em off your list cause you can't exist without 'em
But this necessary evil ain't the cotton boll weevil or a bottle full of homemade sin
It's a two legged creature that's scared of a preacher all the trouble with girls is men

Yeah the trouble with girls is men and I'll believe it till the day I die
You can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em but I sure would like to try

Old Scratchy Face leads a merry chase smelling like a jug of mennin'
But it ain't no life tryin' to be his wife when Baltimore ain't winnin'
Well I'd rather have a battle with a wild herd of cattle than to git him up at six a.m.
Get two good showers and he'll mow down your flowers all the trouble with girls is men
[ guitar ] Yeah the trouble with girls is men...
Old Scratchy Face leads a merry chase...
Yeah the trouble with girl is men
I know the trouble with girls is men
I say the trouble with girls is men

TAKE ME AS I AM (OR LET ME GO)

(Boudleaux Bryant)
« © '54 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Why must you always try to make me over
Take me as I am or let me go
White lilies never grow on stalks of clover
Take me as I am or let me go

You're trying to reshape me in a mold love
In the image of someone you used to know
But I won't be a stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go
[ steel ] You've tried to change me ev'ry since you met me
Take me as I am or let me go
If you can't overlook my faults forget me
Take me as I am or let me go

You're trying to reshape me in a mold love...

PROMISES PROMISES

(Wiley Smith - Carlyle Hughey)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You promised you would be true to me
But we both know you could never be
You've been a puttin' me on since the day we met
Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get

Then you promised me a ring
A weddin' gown and all them things
But I ain't seen no diamond yet
Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get
Promises promises that's all I get

All you gave me since the day we met
You'll break my heart in two again I bet
Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get
[ guitar ] And now you tell me you're goin' away
You swear to me that this time you'll stay
I can't believe that I'm rid of you yet
Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get
Promises promises that's all I get

All you gave me since the day we met...
All you gave me since the day we met...
