THAT'S LOVE
(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Love is cattle in the clover sun shining over head
That's love
Love is children eatin' candy and a shell still wet and sandy
That's love
And love is when the lover waits and waits and waits and waits and waits
That's love that's love
Love is flowers grown and pretty both large and little bitty
That's love
Love is grandy slowly rocking knittin' some grand kiddy's stockin'
That's love
Love is just a tender touch of the hand that mean so much
And that's love that's love
Love is just a state of mind that only those in love can find
That's love that's love

BUSTED
(Harlan Howard)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter of a pound I'm busted
I got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away I'm busted (he's busted)
I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted
Now I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I was busted
My brother said there's not a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking about calling on you cause I'm busted (he's busted)
Though I am no thief but a man can go wrong if he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone I'm busted
Now the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my wife we gotta pack up and go
I'll make a living just how I don't know cause I'm busted

WILLOW TREE
(Herb Strzik - Krugman)
« © '64 September Music, ASCAP »
(Willow willow) weeping willow willow willow weep for me
I found my love neath the willow tree
Her kiss was sweet as a kiss could be
And oh she loved me tenderly beneath the willow tree
Willow willow weeping willow willow willow weep for me
And then one day neath the willow tree
My own true love said goodbye to me
So I told my troubles to the tree now the willow weeps for me
Willow willow weeping willow willow willow weep for me
Now here I am neath the willow tree
In hopes my love will return to me
And as I wait here patiently the willow weeps for me
Willow willow weeping willow willow willow weep for me

TOMORROW
(Johnny Tillotson)
« © '64 Ridge Music, BMI »
Tomorrow is gonna be a better day
Tomorrow is gonna be a better day
We'll have steak instead of beans and no more turnip greens
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day
Tomorrow the sun's gonna shine
Tomorrow everything is gonna be fine
No sorrow and no cares milk and honey everywhere
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day
Tomorrow tomorrow there'll be a new day tomorrow
And if we try and hope and pray tomorrow's gonna be a better day
Tomorrow I'll kiss my blues goodbye
And like a bird I'll up and fly
I'll leave that gal of mine she's just a troubleing kind
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day
Tomorrow tomorrow...
Tomorrow a cool wind's gonna blow
Tomorrow I'll forget the pain I know
Harsh words are never here bad news will disapper
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day
And I'm packed and I'm gonna be on my way
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day

LITTLE BOY
(Lucille Cosenza - Sal Trimach)
« © '64 Ridge Music, BMI »
Little boy with your ship a toy an admiral you pretend to be
With your paper hat and your wooden sword you sail into fantasy
Little boy oh how you enjoy being a pirat so bold
With your broken spoon and your little pail you dig hoping to find gold
Little boy if you don't find your gold don't let it break your heart
For tomorrow is another day and a new game you can start
Little don't you destroy your dreams of fantasy
For when you grow up and the world is yours who knows what you might be
Little boy who knows what you might be
Little boy you can be what you want to be

TO BE A CHILD AGAIN
(Paul Hampton)
« © '64 Jodi Music, ASCAP »
(To be a child again to be a child again)
To be a child again and have no worries on my mind
Cept what show am I gonna see at the Saturday matinee
Will mom let me skip my napkins stay outside and play
Why the roosters flock their wings and crow that way
Had no problems then to be a child again
To be a child again and have a child's faith in things
Why the all the bad guys I knew were the outlaws on the screen
You could win me over with a dish of ice creme
Any man in iniform to me would like a king
Men were like giants then to be a child again
Well I'm a man now and the world weights heavy on my shoulders
And my problems get bigger every day as I grow older
To be a child again and have no worries on my mind
When I'd go fishin' I put on my old torn shirt
My little dog would lick my face whenever I got hurt
And if I was good I'd get an extra helping of dessert
But that was way back then to be a child again
To be a child again to be a child again

THAT'S WHEN IT HURTS THE MOST
(Paul Evans - Larry Kusik)
« © '64 U Catalog, ASCAP »
(That's when it hurts the most)
I can't erase the mem'ry of the night you said goodbye
And when I pass you on the street I want to cry
But when I see you out with somebody new
That's when it hurts the most
It breaks my heart each time I read the note you left for me
And your picture makes me lonely as can be
But when I see you holding somebody new
That's when it hurts the most
Never never thought I'd miss you
But it's heartache heartbreak my whole life through
It makes me cry each time I think of how you once were mine
And I think about it darling all the time
But when I see you kissing somebody new
That's when it hurts the most
That's when it hurts the most

ISLAND OF DREAMS
(Tom Springfield)
« © '64 Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
(Far far away on the Island of dreams)
I wander the streets and the gay crowded places
Trying to forget you but somehow it seems
That my thoughts ever stray to our last sweet embraces
Over the sea on the Island of dreams
High in the sky is a bird on the wings please carry me away
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd please carry me with you
Again I would wander where mem'ries enfold me
Over the sea on the Island of dreams
High in the sky is a bird on the wings please carry me with you
Again I would wander where mem'ries enfold me
Over the sea on the Island of dreams
Far far away on the Island of dreams

YELLOW BIRD
(Alan Bergman - Marilyn Keith - Norman Luboff)
« © '58 Threesome Music, ASCAP »
Yellow bird way up in banana tree
Yellow bird you sit all alone like me
Did you lady friend leave the nest again
That is very sad makes me feel so bad
You can fly away in the sky away
You're more lucky than me
I also have a pretty girl she's not with me today
They're all the same those pretty girls
They make a nest then they fly away
Yellow bird way up in banana tree...
[ guitar ]
Wish that I were a yellow bird I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird so here I sit got nothing I can do
Yellow bird way up in banana tree...
(Yellow bird) you're more lucky than me
(Yellow bird) you're more lucky than me
(Yellow bird)

(Huddie Ledbetter - Johnny Tillotson - Paul Tannen)
« © '62 Folkways Music, BMI »
Take this hammer take it to the Captain
Take this hammer take it to the Captain
Take this hammer take it to the Captain
Tell him I'm gone oh tell him I'm gone
I'm gonna ride that midnight special
I'm gonna ride that midnight special
I'm gonna ride that midnight special
And I ain't coming back oh I ain't coming back
Take this hammer take it to the Captain...
[ banjo ]
I don't want your cold iron shackles
I don't want your cold iron shackles
Now I don't want your cold iron shackles
Cause they hurt my leg oh they hurt my leg
Take this hammer take it to the Captain...
Take this hammer take it to the Captain...
