(Betty Jean Robinson - Aileen Mnich) «© '73 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well look who's comin' through the door
I think we've met somewhere before hello love hello love
Where in the world have you been so long
I've missed you so since you've been gone hello love hello love

Make yourself feel right at home
I hope you plan on staying long come in love come in love
I must say I was sure surprised
You're the last thing I expected by hello love hello love

I've heard it said time and again you often go back where you've been
I really didn't believe it was true but I left the door unlocked for you

I'll try to please you in every way
Assure you of a pleasant stay this time love this time love
I've been so blue since you've been gone
Now you're back with me and nothing's wrong hello love hello love

And it's wonderful now you're back with me
And things are like they used to be remember love remember love
You're back with me now and my world's complete
So don't mind me if I repeat hello love hello love hello love hello love

I'VE GOT TO GIVE IT ALL TO YOU

(Cecil Null) «© '73 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Part of my love used to go to somebody else
Can't think of who disclosed to you
Some of my love used to stay head a way for myself
Alone with you here's what I must do

I've got to give you love with all of my heart and my soul
I've got to feed you baby all of the love you've been hold
I left the door open and you know just what to do
I'll wait for you baby I've got to give it all to you
[ fiddle - guitar ] I've got to give you love with all of my heart and my soul
I've got to feed you baby all of the love you've been hold
He left the door open and I know just what to do
I'll wait for you baby I've got to give it all to you

TODAY I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN

(Merle Haggard - Bonnie Owens) «© '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Today I started loving you again
And I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
Then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
And I should have known the worst was yet to come
And crying time for me had just begun
time and again Cause today I started...
[ guitar ] Yes today I started loving you again...
Yes today I started loving you again

LAST THING ON MY MIND

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

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well I could've loved you better didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
[ dobro - guitar ] You've got reasons of plenty for going this I know this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growing please don't go please don't go
Are you going away...
[ fiddles - guitar ] As I lie in my bed in the morning without you without you
Each song in my grass dies a borning without you without you

Are you going away...

IT JUST HAPPENED THAT WAY

(Fred Carter) «© '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I didn't plan to fall in love with you it just happened that way
And all the time inside my heart I knew that I'd regret it some day
Now I can't stand to be away from you but I'm alone every day
I didn't plan to fall in love with you it just happened that way

I saw you and I loved you why I'll never know
There wasn't one chance in a million that our love would grow
You were too far up above me any fool could plainly see
But like driftwood on the river I floated on helplessly

I didn't plan to fall...

DAISY A DAY

(Jud Strunk) «© '72 Seven High Music, ASCAP »
He remembers the first time he met her
He remembers the first thing she said
He remembers the first time he held her
And the night that she came to his bed
He remembers her sweet way of saying
Honey has something gone wrong
He remembers the fun and the teasin'
And the reason he wrote her this song

I'll give you a daisy a day dear
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away

They would walk down the street in the evening
And for years I would see them go by
And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore
Could be seen in the gleam in their eyes
As a kid they would take me for candy and I'd love to go tagging along
We'd hold hands while we walked to the corner
And the old man would sing her this song

I'll give you a daisy...
[ fiddle ] Now he walks down the street in the evening
And he stops by the old candy store
And I somehow believe he's believing
He's holding her hand like before
For he feels all her love walking with him
And he smiles at the things she might say
Then the old man walks up to the hilltop
And he gives her a daisy a day

I'll give you a daisy...

I HAVE YOU AND THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME

(Betty Jean Robinson) «© '73 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
When lights are low and we're together
Come rain or snow who minds the weather
I have you and that's enough for me
Don't care if fortune never finds me
Don't need a host or friends around me
I have you and that's enough for me

By the firesides where you find me when the day is through
Left the world to pass our window I don't mind when I'm with you
When lights are low and we're together
Come rain or snow who minds the weather
I have you and that's enough for me
[ guitar ] Don't need a mansion on a mountain
With chandeliers and pink mumble fountains
I have you and that's enough for me
Don't need the presents money can buy me
Rich or poor you stand beside me
I have you and that's enough for me

By the firesides where you find me...
I have you and that's enough for me

SOMEWHERE MY LOVE

(Paul F. Webster - Murice Jarre) «© '65 Robbins Catalog, ASCAP / Webster Music, ASCAP »
Somewhere my love there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hope of spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams all that your heart can hold

Someday we'll meet again my love
Someday whenever the spring breaks through
You'll come to me out of the long ago
Warm as the wind soft as the kiss of snow
Till then my sweet think of me now and then
God speed my love till you are mine again
God speed my love till you are mine again

I WASHED MY HANDS IN MUDDY WATER

(Joe Babcock) «© '64 Mariposa Music, BMI »
I was born in Macon Georgia
They kept my dad in the Macon jail
Dad said son if you keep your hands clean
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail

But I fell in with bad companions
We robbed a man in Tennessee
The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville
They locked me up and threw away the key

I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands but they didn't come clean
I tried to do what daddy told me
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
[ dobro ] I asked the jailor I said when's my time up
He said son you know we won't forget
And if you try to keep your hands clean
We may make a good man of you yet

I couldn't wait to get my timming
I broke out of that Nashville jail
I just crossed the line of Georgia
And I can hear the bloodhounds on my trail

I washed my hands in muddy water...

WHY ME

(Kris Kristofferson) «© '72 Resaca Music, BMI »
Why me Lord what have I ever done to deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord what did I ever do that was worth loving you
Of the kindness you've shown

Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so help me Jesus I know what I am
But now that I know that I've needed you so
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hand

Please try me Lord if you think there's any way
That I can try to repay for all the wonderful things that I've taken from you
And maybe that Lord yes maybe I can show someone else
Oh what I've been through myself on my way back to you

Lord help me Jesus...
