ONLY A WOMAN LIKE YOU

(Bill Eldridge - Gary Stewart) « © '70 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Only a woman like you can make a man of me
For a man like me can't go through life alone
Only a woman like you can make a man of me
Without your love I'm weak but with your love I'm strong

Down every road I'll have to walk and every path I'll have to cross
I'll need someone who'll be standing there with me
Someone who can take my smallest dream turn it into the greatest thing
Darling only you can make a man of me

Only a woman like you...
Without your love I'm weak but with your love I'm strong

LAST ONE TO TOUCH ME

(Dolly Parton) « © '71 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
If there ever was an angel then surely you must be one
If there ever was a perfect love when I look at you I see one
If there's heaven here on earth then this must surely be
I want you to be the last one to touch me

The last thing I remember before I go to sleep
Is the touch of your sweet lips softly kissing me
And then I go to sleep thinking how happy you make me
And I want you to be the last one to touch me

And when it's time to lay me down for my eternal sleep
Once more let your fingers softly touch my cheek
And if I know that you have touched me then I can sleep in peace
I want you to be the last one to touch me

And when the night is over and time will be no more
They say that we shall meet again upon the golden shore
And so when I awaken from my eternal sleep
I want you to be the first one to touch me
I want you to be the first the last the only one to touch me

HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '70 Combine Music, BMI »
Take the ribbon from your hair shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft upon my skin like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
Mhm mhm all I'm taking is your time help me make it through the night
Lord it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night

RUBY DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN

(Mel Tillis) « © '66 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
You have painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town

For it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores
And I know Ruby that I'm not the man I used to be
But Ruby I still need your company

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralized
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town oh Ruby fpr God's sake turn around

HOW MUCH MORE CAN SHE STAND

(Harry Compton) « © '71 Brothers Two Music, ASCAP »
There's a devil in my body that I just can't satisfy
Other women haunt me even though I love my wife
It's because I really love her I try to save her heart with lies
Oh but I know she knows I can see it in her eyes

I tried to stay at home love only her play with the kids and watch TV
But then my mind becomes unsure about the kind of love I need
My reasons for cheating they're as good as lies can be
How much more can she stand and still stand by me
[ steel ] It's so hard for me to call her I can hardly dial the phone
I did wrong again last night now I just want to go back home
She knows that I've lied Lord she'll cry where I can see
How much more can she stand and still stand by me
How much more can she stand and still stand by me

YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A MAN

(Warner McPherson) « © '71 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Whenever I'm down then you come around and you make me feel like a man
There's nothing like the touch of my woman to make me feel warm and proud inside
Anytime I need two arms around me well I found me a heaven to hide

Cause you make me feel like a man I light up with a touch of your hand
Whenever I'm down then you come around and you make me feel like a man

Anytime I need two arms around me to whisper and say I'll understand
Then it won't be very long until you've made me strong and life is worth living again

Cause you make me feel like a man...
Now you make me feel like a man

RAINING IN MY HEART

(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant) « © '59 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Raining in my heart since we've been apart
I know I was wrong darling please come on home

You've got me crying bout to lose my mind
Don't let me cry in vain try my love just once again
[ guitar ] Now honey I need your love darling you know why
So if you just come on back home why there'll be no need in me to cry

Raining in my heart...

HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS

(Traditional) « © '59 Writer Share, PD »
He's got the whole world in his hands he's got the whole wide world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands he's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the little bitty baby in his hands he's got the little bitty baby in his hands
He's got the little bitty baby in his hands he's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the whole world in his hands...
[ organ ] He's got you and me brother in his hands he's got you and me sister in his hands
He's got you and me brother in his hands he's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the whole world in his hands...

He's got everybody here in his hands he's got everybody here in his hands
He's got everybody here in his hands he's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the whole world in his hands...
He's got the whole world in his hands...

IS ANYBODY GOING TO SAN ANTONE

(Dave Kirby - Glenn Martin) « © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Rain drippin' off the brim of my hat sure is cold today
Here I am walkin' down 66 wish she hadn't done me this way
Sleepin' under a table in a roadside park why a man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did sleepin' in my king size bed

Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona
Anyplace is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her
[ harmonica ] Wind whippin' down the neck of my shirt like I ain't got nothing on
But I'd rather fight the wind and rain than what I've been fightin' at home
Yonder comes a truck with the US mail people writin' letters back home
Tomorrow she'll probably want me back but I'll still be just as gone

Is anybody going to San Antone...
Anyplace is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her

WHEN YOU'RE HOT YOU'RE HOT

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '71 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
Oh well now me and Homer and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
And I kept rollin' them sevens and winnin' all them pots
My luck was good I could do no wrong
I just kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones
Fin'ly they just threw up their hands and said

When you're hot you're hot I said yeah
When you're hot you're hot and when you're not you're not
Put all the money in and let's roll 'em again when you're hot you're hot
(La la la la la when you're hot you're hot)
Well now ev'ry time I rolled 'em dice I'd win
And I would just get ready to roll 'em again
When I heard something behind me I turned around and there was a big ole cop
He said hello boy and he gave us a grin
Said looks like I'm gonna have to haul you all in
And keep all that money for evidence I said well son when you're hot you're hot

When you're hot you're hot and when you're not you're not
You can 'splain it all down at city hall when you're hot you're hot
(La la la la la when you're hot you're hot)
Well when he took us into court I could believe my eyes
The judge was a fishin' buddy that I recognized
I said hey judge old buddy old pal I'll pay you
That hundred I owe you if you get me out of this spot
So he gave my friend a little fine to pay he turned around and grinned at me and said
Ninety days sweet thang when you're hot you're hot I said thanks a lot

When you're hot you're hot and when you're not you're not
You let my friend go free and throw the book at me
He said well when you're hot you're hot
I said well I tell you one thing judge old buddy old pal
If you wasn't wearin' that black robe I'd pick you up by courthouse
And I'd try a little bit of you on my own you understand that
Do you hear me who's gonna collect my welfare take over my Cadillac
