IN THE MISTY MOONLIGHT

(Cindy Walker) «© '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
In the misty moonlight by the flickering firelight
Any place is all right long as I'm with you
In a faraway land on the trophic sea sand
If your hand's in my hand I won't be blue

Way up on the mountain a way down in the valley
I know I'll be happy anyplace anywhere I don't care
In the misty moonlight by the flickering firelight
Any place is all right long as you are there

I could be happy in one little room with only a table and a chair
As happy as I'd be in a kingdom by the sea darling if you were there
I could be rich or I could be poor but if you were by my side
I could be anything in the whole wide world and I know I'll be satisfied
Way up on the mountain...

TROUBLE IN MIND

(Richard M. Jones) «© '37 MCA Music, ASCAP »
Trouble in mind I'm blue but I won't be blue always
Cause the sun's gonna shine in my backdoor someday
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line
And let that 2:19 train pacify mind
Hello train hello
[ guitar ] (Goin' down to the river gonna take me a rockin' chair)
And if the blues don't leave me I'll rock away from here

Trouble in mind I'm blue my old heart is beatin' slow
I ain't had so such trouble in my life before
Trouble trouble trouble
My good gal she done quit me and it sure does leave my mind
When you see me laughin' it's laughin' to keep from cryin'

FROM A JACK TO A KING

(Ned Miller) «© '57 Dandelion Music, BMI »
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen and walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king with no regrets I stackled the cards last night
And Lady Luck played her hand just right to make me king of your heart

For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen you made me king of your heart
[ guitar ] For just a little while...

SHE WEARS MY RING

(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant) «© '60 House Of Bryant, BMI »
She wears my my ring to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternaly
With loving care I place it on her finger
To show my love for all the world to see

(This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean)
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing because she wears my ring
[ guitar ] She swears to wear it...

MARY ANN REGRETS

(Harlan Howard) «© '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I save up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours
Then today in the mail I recieved a short little note
And I'd broke down inside at the message that her mother's wrote

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plans
Goodbye true love goodbye my sweet Mary Ann

The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been
I can't eat I can't sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann

My Mary Ann died they said she just wasted away
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today
For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone

Mary Ann regrets...

WHITE SILVER SANDS

(Charles G. Matthews - Gladys Reinhardt) «© '59 Sharina Music, BMI »
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands
Where on the brink of love I kissed her and obeyd my heart's command
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands
We watched the sunset in the evening in a far and distant land

Oh here beneath God's blue heaven there's a place I must go
Where the sun sets in the evening is the only love I know
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands
Where on the brink of love I kissed her and obeyd my heart's command
[ guitar + piano ] We watched the sunset in the evening saw the moon yellow and pale
Watched the gaucho ride the pinto out across the pampas trail
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands
Where on the brink of love I kissed her and obeyd my heart's command

LONESOME 7-7203

(Justin Tubb) «© '61 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
(Just call Lonesome 7-7203)

Had our number changed today although I hated to
But each time the phone would ring they'd want to speak to you
And it hurts to tell that you're not here with me
Maybe now old telephone will let me be
It's not in the book now so you'd better write it down
Just in case your love for me should ever come around
You might want to call and break the news to me
Just call Lonesome 7-7203
[ vibes + guitar ] I keep the telephone beside me all the time
Hoping you might want to call and say you're changed your mind
If you do then darling you know where I'll be
I'm at Lonesome 7-7203
You're the only one I'm giving our new number to
So now if the telephone should ring I'll know it's you
If you ever long for love that used to be
Just call Lonesome 7-7203 just call Lonesome 7-7203

GONNA FIND ME A BLUEBIRD

(Marvin Rainwater) «© '61 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Gonna find me a bluebird let him sing me a song
Cause my heart's been broken much too long
Gonna chase me a rainbow through a heaven of blue
Cause I'm all through crying over you

There was a time my love was needed
My life completed my dreams come true
Then came the time my life was haunted
My love unwanted all for you
[ vibes ] There was a time...

SWEET LIES

(Marty Robbins) «© '57 Mariposa Music, BMI »
I watched as he held her and kissed her goodnight
Heard every word as I stood out of sight
Just like a fool everything he believed
Nothing but sweet lies she once told to me

Fool hearted boy should I tell what I know
Just how she'd win love and then let it go
Too much in love and too far gone to see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me

Once he's not fallin' he won't want her stop
She'll fill him up high then let him drop
Down with the others who never could see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me

She'll whisper sweet words and make his head spin
He'll never know of the trouble that he's in
Till it's all over and he'll surely see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me
[ piano ] Oh what I'd give just to hear her once more
Whisper the same things she whispered before
I'm still in love any blind man could see
I love those lies she once told to me

He thinks he'll win her cause she says she cares
That's just her game and she won't play it fair
She'll leave him sad full of deep misery
With all those sweet lies she once told to me

She couldn't be true it's sad but it's so
How can she love with a heart that's cold as snow
He's doomed to heartaches but too blind to see
Nothing but sweet lies she once told to me
She'll whisper sweet words and make his head spin...

HANDCUFFED TO LOVE

(Jerry Williams - Hope Harlow) «© '50 Dream City Music, BMI / Eagle Music, BMI »
I'm handcuffed to the only love I knew
Yet I never committed any crime
Like a prisoner alone in his cell
I'm hundcuffed to the love I've thought was mine

There's no way out and no one to ease my pain
My memories are haunting me in vain
You promised to be always at my side forever until the end of time
Now you're laughing at the tears I cannot hide
I'm hundcuffed to the love I've thought was mine
[ guitar + vibes ] I'm handcuffed to the only love I knew
Like a prisoner a serving a lifetime
Oh Lord I need your helping hand
I'm hundcuffed to the love I've thought was mine

There's no way out and no one to ease my pain
My memories are haunting me in vain
I pray you will return to me and remain until to end of time
Please open the pathway to your heart
I'm hundcuffed to the love I've thought was mine

SIX DAYS ON THE ROAD

(Earl Green - Carl Montgomery) «© '58 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Seaboard
I got my diesel wound up and she's runnin' like she never before
There's a speed zone ahead alright I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

I got ten forward gears and the George overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white I been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like that some of them guys
I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
[ guitar ] Well the ICC is a checkin' on down the line
I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind
But nothin' bothers me tonight I could dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Well my rig's a little old but that surely don't means she's slow
There's a flame from my stack and the smoke's a rollin' black as coal
My hometown's a comin' in sight if you think I'm happy you're right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

BUMMIN' AROUND

(Pete Graves) «© '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Got an old slouch hat got my roll on my shoulder
I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please just a bummin' around
Got a million friends don't feel any older
I've got nothin' to lose I leave 'em the blues just a bummin' around

Whenever worries start to bothering me
I grab my coat my old slouch hat hit the trail again you see
I ain't got a dime don't care where I'm goin'
I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please just a bummin' around
[ ac.guitar ] (Whenever worries start to bothering me
I grab my coat my old slouch hat hit the trail again you see)
I ain't got a dime don't care where I'm goin'
I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please just a bummin' around
