FLYING SOUTH

(Cindy Walker) «© '63 Bathurst Music, BMI »
Summer's gone and wintertime's a comin'
And where I am ain't where I wanna be
I can hear my southern home a callin'
And it's callin' out that old wide goose and me
I got kids and kin down in Kentucky I got lots of aunts in Alabam
Mom's a waitin' down in Mississippi and my sist's in Carolina's honey land

Flyin' flyin' south to Dixie Lord I've been so lonesome and alone
Stayin' ain't no use because my heart's an old wild goose
And so tomorrow I'll be flyin' south for home
[ guitar - fiddle ] Grandma and grandpa's down in Georgia
And my sweetheart's down in Tennessee
There's a little part of all the southland in my heart
And honey in the south is where I wanna be

Summer's gone and wintertime's a comin'
And where I am ain't where I wanna be
I can hear my southern home a callin'
And it's callin' out that old wide goose and me

Flyin' flyin' south to Dixie...
And tomorrow I'll be flyin' south for home

MIAMI SNOW

(Cindy Walker - Chet Atkins) «© '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
When there's icicles hangin' on the green pinetrees
And the Florida oranges all turn blue
When there's Miami snow then baby you will know
That I stopped loving you

When there's no cattle roamin' on a Texas plains
And the Texasans stop raggin' like they do
When no blue blizzards blow then baby you will know
That I stopped loving you

When there's no pretty women in Kentucky
And Tennessee's got no more mountain dew
When the Grand Ole Opry stars stop playing their guitars
Then I'll stop loving you
[ guitar ] When we all take a sleigh ride on Miami shore
And the girls in Bikini's all turned blue
When there's Miami snow then baby you will know
That I stopped loving you

When there's no pretty women...
When the Grand Ole Opry stars stop playing their guitars
Then I'll stop loving you

PEACH PICKING TIME DOWN IN GEORGIA

(Jimmie Rodgers - Clayton McMichen) «© '33 Peer International, BMI »
When it's peach picking time in Georgia apple picking time in Tennessee
Cotton picking time in Mississippi everybody picks on me
When it's roundup time in Texas the cowboys make whoopee
And way down in old Alabama it's gal picking time for me

There's the bluegrass down in Kentucky Virginia's where they do the swing
Carolina now I'm a coming to you come and just to spend the spring
Arkansas I hear you calling I know I'll see you soon
That's where we'll do some picking beneath the Ozark moon
[ fiddle ] When the pickininees pick the cotton that's the time I pick a wedding ring
We'll go to the town to pick a little gown for the wedding in the spring
Hope the preacher knows his business I know he can't fool me
When it's peach picking time in Georgia it's gal picking time for me

AT THE FIRST FALL OF SNOW

(Lorene Rose) «© '53 Milene Music, ASCAP »
I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn
His garments were sack cloth all tattered and town
He told me a story of sorrow and woe
His heart went to heaven at the first fall of snow

He spoke of his angel a dear baby girl
He loved every footstep he loved every curl
But she went to heaven just one year ago
The angels came for her at the first fall of snow

He still have the dolly that she used to love
He held and caressed it and he gazed up above
He whispered my darling you're waiting I know
I'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow
[ fiddle ] And there as I listened then my eyes filled with tears
I knew she was part of his happier years
His frail body trembled he spoke soft and low
I'll be with my darling at the first fall of snow

I just couldn't tell him how I felt inside
I patted his shoulder my feelings to hide
He smiled as we partred cause he didn't know
That we'd lost our darling at the first fall of snow

YOU'RE AS WELCOME AS THE FLOWERS IN MAY

(Anne Young) «© '68 Central Songs, BMI »
Last night I dreamed a sweet sweet dream
I thought I saw my home sweet home
And oh how grand it all did seem I made a vow no more to roam
By that dear old village church I strolled
While the bell in the steeple sadly told
I saw my daddy old and grey I heard my dear old mother say

You're as welcome as the flowers in May
And we love you in the same old way
We've been waiting for you day by day
You're as welcome as the flowers in May
[ guitar ] We've been waiting for you day by day
You're as welcome as the flowers in May

JANUARY

(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant) «© '65 House Of Bryant, BMI »
January January that's when I am blue
January January when the year is new
I found you in January then you proved untrue
That's why January makes me blue
That's why January makes me blue
[ guitar ] Once we found an achorn and you planted it with me
We swore that we would love till it became a mighty tree
Our tree's now mighty tall but love is just a memory
Just a January memory just a January memory
[ guitar ] January January promised me the sky
Blinded me and offered me the love that was a lie
Made me want to live forever made want to die
That's why January makes me cry
That's why January makes me cry

SEASONS

(Ray Griff) «© '68 Helene Blue Musique, ASCAP »
The seasons come and go but in my heart I know
Weather it's rain or snow our dreams hold back
The seasons drift on by like clouds across the sky
But we both realize that shadows pass

I would never change or try to rearange a thing about you dear
I'll love you just the way you are through all the coming years
The seasons play their part and each one leaves its mark
But I know in my heart our love will last
[ steel ] I would never change...

WHEN IT'S SPRINGTIME IN ALASKA

(Tillman Franks) «© '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)

I mushed from Port Barren through a blizzard of snow
Been out prospecting for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boon
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon

As I walked in the door the music was clear
The prettiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below
(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)

It was red headed Luie who was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
I reached toward the gal who was singin' the tune
We did the Escimo hop all around the saloon
[ banjo ] Where the cariboo crawl and the grizzly bear hug
We did our dance on a Kodiac rug
The song she kept singing made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below
(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)

I was as innocent as I could be
I didn't know Luie was big Ed's wife to be
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
When it's springtime in Alaska I'll be six feet below
(When it's springtime in Alaska he'll be six feet below
When it's springtime in Alaska he'll be six feet below)

BLOSSOMS IN THE SPRINGTIME

(Vaughn Horton) «© '53 Southern Music, ASCAP »
When I see blossoms in the springtime
I know that sweetheart time is here
My love that blossoms in the springtime
Blooms in my heart all through the year

I love the blossoms in the springtime
Kissed by the sunshine and the rain
I love to hold you oh my darling
When kisses bloom in sweet heart lane
[ guitar ] Sometimes a sparkle of love may smoulder
Never to flame all winter long
Then like the blossoms in the springtime
Burst with the first red robin song
I love the blossoms...

SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES

(Mary H. Woolsey - Robert Sauer) «© '23 Robbins Catalog, ASCAP »
The twilight shadows deepen into night dear
The city lights are gleaming o'er the snow
I sit alone beside the cheery fire dear
I'm dreaming dreams from out the long ago

When it's springtime in the rockies I'll be coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains with your bonnie eyes of blue
Once again I'll say I love you while the birds sing all the day
When it's Springtime in the rockies in the rockies far away
[ steel ] I fancy it is springtime in the mountains
The maple leaves in first sky green appear
I hear you softly say my queen of May time
This springtime you have come to meet me here

When it's springtime in the rockies...

ROSES IN THE SNOW

(Cindy Walker) «© '68 Unichappell Music, BMI »
I'll remember when it's winter and there's not a rose to see
That you kiss me and there will be roses blooming in the snow for me
I'll remember in December when the lonely raindrops sigh
How you smile dear and there will be sunshine in the dark December sky

I'll remember ever after the wind in your hair of gold
And the sound of your laughter will warm my heart when I'm old
I'll remember when it's winter and my dreams have ceased to be
That you love me and there will be roses blooming in the snow for me
[ guitar ] I'll remember ever after...
