WHEN MY BLUE MOON TURNS TO GOLD AGAIN

(Wiley Walker - Gene Sullivan) « © '41 Peer International, BMI »
Memories that linger in my heart memories that make my heart grow cold
But some day they'll live again sweetheart and my blue moon again will turn to gold

When my blue moon turns to gold again when the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again you'll be back within my arms to stay

The lips that used to thrill me so your kisses were meant for only me
In my dreams they live again sweetheart but my golden moon is just a memory

When my blue moon turns to gold again...

The castles we built of dreams together were the sweetest stories ever told
Maybe we'll live them all again and my blue moon again will turn to gold

When my blue moon turns to gold again...
You'll be back within my arms to stay

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW

(Fred Rose - Mel Foree) « © '45 Milene Music, ASCAP »
No one will ever know the truth but me

No one will ever know my heart is breaking
Although a million teardrops start to flow
I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling
I'll miss you but no one will ever know

I'll tell them we grew tired of each other
And realize our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me

No one will ever know how much I'm pining
Each time the past comes back to haunt me so
No one will ever see the tears I'm hiding
You've hurt me but no one will ever know

I'll tell them I've found true love with another
That I was glad the day you set me free
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me
No one will ever know the truth but me

HONKY TONK GIRL

(Hank Thompson - Chuck Hardin) « © '60 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Don't be fool by big blue eyes by a smile or a golden curle
Cause she'll love you now and then break every vow
She's just a honky tonk girl she's just a honky tonk girl

WHY BABY WHY

(George Jones - Darrell Edwards) « © '55 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Tell me why baby why baby why baby why
You make me cry baby cry baby cry baby cry
I can't live without you till the day that I die
But tell me why baby why baby why baby why
Tell me why baby why baby why baby why

FOLSOM PRISON BLUES

(Johnny Cash) « © '56 House Of Cash, BMI »
I hear the train a coming it's rolling round the bend
I ain't seen that sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on
And that train keeps a rolling on down to San Antone

CLASS OF '57

(Don Reid - Harold Reid) « © '72 House Of Cash, BMI »
Tommy's selling used cars Nancy's fixing hair
Harvey runs a grocery store and Margaret doesn't care
Jerry drives a truck for Sears and Charlotte's on the make
And Paul sells life unsurance and part time real estate

Helen is a hostess Frank works at the mill
Jenett teaches grade school and prob'ly always will
Bob works for the city and Jack's in lab research
And Peggy plays organ at the Presbiterian Church

And the class of '57 has dreams
We all thought we'd change the world with our great works and deeds
Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs
The class of '57 has dreams

Betty runs a trailer park Jan sells Tupperware
Randy's on an insane war and Mary's on welfare
Charlie took a job with Ford and Joe took Freddie's wife
Charlotte took a millionaire and Freddie took his life

John is big in cattle Ray is deep in debt
Where Mavis family would up is anybody's bet
Linda married Sonny and Brenda married me
And the class of all of us is just a part of history

And the class of '57 has dreams
But living life day to day is never like it seems
Things get complicated when you get past eighteen
But the class of '57 has dreams
Oh the class of '57 has dreams

STRANGER IN MY PLACE

(Kenny Rogers - Kin Vassy) « © '71 Devon Music, BMI / Flea Show Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
I see the town where we were born I see the place we were raised
I see all the things you wanted that I never gave
I see sadness I see sorrow I see pain on your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

I can see where we quarreled I can see I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken when I wasn't strong
I see mem'ries of a love gone bad that time cannot erase
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

No one seems to know you quite like I do
No one knows the things that make you cry
And looking back it seems I never showed you
And now I lay alone and wonder why

I can see where you might grow tired of dreams that don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short of things I promised you
I can see through my tear filled eyes no love on your face
I must get use to see the strangers in my place
I must get use to see the strangers in my place

JESUS TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT ME

(Don Reid) « © '72 House Of Cash, BMI »
Jesus take another look at me and tell me if I stray too far to be
As close as you and I used to be Jesus take another look at me

They say I've changed from all I used to be
Some blamed her while others blamed me
But down deep inside where mortal men can see
Jesus take another look at me

Jesus oh Jesus we prayed and we prayed together her and me
But down in our hearts well only you can see
Jesus take another look at me Jesus take another look at me

1953 DEAR JOHN HONKY TONK BLUES

(Don Reid - Harold Reid) « © '66 House Of Cash, BMI »
I keep the radio on most all night long and listen to the songs they play
Sometimes I hum tap along with my thumb listen to the words they say
And I have to admit those yesterday hits take me back a year or two
I get those 1953 Dear John Honky Tonk Blues for you
Get those 1953 Dear John Honky Tonk Blues

And I need help when I hear No Help Wanted
Rememberin' where we first heard Lovesick Blues
Old songs make me wonder what you're doing
I get those 1953 Dear John Honky Tonk Blues
[ trumpet ] Gonna play this song for Rollin' John the Wild Side Of Life
Rolly Polly a golden oldie for Carl and his brand new wife
Well it makes me feel sad but it ain't half bad remembering the things I'd do
I get those 1953 Hey Joe Hop A Bop Blues for you
Get those 1953 Hey Joe Hop A Bop Blues

And I need help when I hear No Help Wanted...

UNDER IT ALL

(Lew DeWitt) « © '72 House Of Cash, BMI »
All the powder and paint that hides her sweet face
Isn't her as she really should be
She's distant and cold but under it all
She's the same girl that used to love me

All the booze drinking men she calls her friends
Aren't the friends she used to bring home
She's not what she's been called and under it all
She's the same girl that I've always known

She may dance too close and too long
And do some things that seem wrong
Or seem hard and bad and that's what's so sad
Cause she's soft down under it all

All the things that she says and the way she may dress
Doesn't mean she's really gone bad
She's not really at fault and under it all
She's really quite homesick and sad
She's not really at fault and under it all
She's really quite homesick and sad

EVERY TIME I TRUST A GAL

(Lew DeWitt) « © '72 House Of Cash, BMI »
He was born on the 12th of March and the winds did blow
Since then ill winds still follow me everywhere I go
He's been broke in every state and every major town
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down

He sized up a little bank in Logansdale
Then I got ta thinking and I lost my nerve and threw my gun away
They caught him down by the railroad track and run him out of town
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down

Every joy I've known has turned to pain
If I pick me up they'll come along and knock me down again

He's gambeled away every cent he ever made
If I fill my inside straight somebody else is holding spades
He's been unfit and unqualified for every job he's found
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down

Every love I've known has passed me by
I'll never learn cause I guess I've been passed five thousand times

So he turns to the open road and shrugs his mind
With an empty feelin' and a lonely heart without a single dime
And we know that's how it'll be till they put him in the ground
Yeah and every time I trust a gal she lets me down
Every time I trust a gal she lets me down
