IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW

(Jimmie Rodgers) « © '28 Peer International, BMI »
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now

I had a friend named Rambling Bob who used to steal gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday
They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown

He's in the jailhouse now...
[ guitar ] Now I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
We started to spend my money then she started to callin' me honey
We took in every honky tonk in town

We're in the jailhouse now we're in the jailhouse now
I've told the judge right to his face we didn't like to see this place
We're in the jailhouse now

ANOTHER STORY

(Arlie Duff) « © '67 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
No regrets no heart feeling it's over
All the good times together are through
I'll have a lifetime of mem'ries to keep me going
I wouldn't take back one moment spent with you

I can't say that your leaving won't hurt me
But it's nothing that time can erase
And someday this hurtin' will be over
Another story another time another place

And one day I'll be sittin' with another
And suddenly a smile will cross my face
If she asks me what's so funny then I'll tell her
Another story another time another place
[ guitar ] So no regrets no heart feeling it's over
Yes it hurts me cause I'd lost out in the race
But someday this hurtin's gonna leave me
Another story another time another place

And one day I'll be sittin'...

LOTS OF LUCK

(Roger Miller) « © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
My heart will break as I watch you go
But your kind of love is hard to hold
It seems you and I are losing touch
So I'll wish you love and honey lots of luck

Well lots of luck and a big goodbye
And you can't say I didn't try
It well could be that I tried too much
And that's why you're leaving but honey lots of luck
[ guitar ] Now you want love and a big gold mine
Well that combination is hard to find
Cause money don't always walk with luck
But you can go looking and honey lots of luck

Well lots of luck and a big goodbye...
Well honey lots of luck
Go on and leave now and baby lots of luck

APARTMENT NO. 9

(Johnny Paycheck - Bobby Austin) « © '66 Dream City Music, BMI »
Just follow the stairway to this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waitin' here in Apartment No 9
Not so very long ago you walked away from me
And after all the plans we made you decided to be free

Loneliness surrounds me without your arms around me
And the sun will never shine in Apartment No 9
[ steel ] I'll keep waitin' in this lonely room
Just in case you'd change your mind
You'll find me waitin' here in Apartment No 9

Loneliness surrounds me...
No the sun will never shine in Apartment No 9

LOOSE TALK

(Freddie Hart - Ann Lucas) « © '54 Central Songs, BMI »
So long we've been married last burdens we've carried
Though fate kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we'd make up someone seems to break up
Oh darling what else can we do

We may have to leave here to find piece of mind dear
Some place where we can live a life of our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
[ steel ] When I go out walking there's lots of loose talking
They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart
But darling it's not true because I still love you
And I do it with all of my heart

We may have to leave here...
[ steel ] They say you are leaving that you are deceiving
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them there on that loose talk and do harm
And hope that's the truth they will see

We may have to leave here...

YESTERDAY'S WINNER IS A LOSER TODAY

(Ernest Tubb - Jesse Rogers - Jimmie Skinner) « © '67 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
The world loves the winners but someone must lose
There's bound to be someone left with the blues
So why should I worry when you go away
Yesterday's winner is a loser today
Now I now that I find this heart to play fair
But somehow I wonder if you really care
Was it love that you gave dear or just foolish play
Yesterday's winner is a loser today
[ steel ] Now I know there was someone in your life before
And I'm sure it's that someone that you still adore
Oh I wish it was different but there's no other way
Yesterday's winner is a loser today
So goodbye little darling I'm sorry we met
It's easy to love but so hard to forget
Just remeber my story here's all I can say
Yesterday's winner is a loser today

TAKING IT EASY HERE

(Ernie Lee) « © '67 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
Now some folks think I'm lazy some say he's just tired
Some say I'm waitin' on a Gravy Train for some rich fellow's yard
But they don't know what it's all about no matter how it may appear
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here

Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
[ steel ] Now some folks like the Northern steaks some folks like the South
Some run around like the Gypsys do just livin' from hand to mouth
But I don't want a lotta dough just enough to feel secure
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here

Taking it easy here my friend...
[ guitar ] Now some folks like the Eastern steaks some folks like the West
But to me it's all the same just so I get my rest
My life's gettin' shorter every day but the future holds no fear
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here

Taking it easy here my friend...

YOU BEAT ALL I EVER SAW

(Johnny Cash) « © '67 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP »
I've walked though every town saw fortunes lost and found
And when your trail failed I walked holes in both my soles
But I don't expect you back you're somewhere making tracks
I crossed the burning bridges and walked through miles of sand
Met the lawless and the law but you beat all I ever saw
[ steel ] I dreamed a million miles about your eyes and smiles
I tried to love the best and to turn from all the rest
But I'd scan the skies for you and I only saw you here
Take through away from your mold you were made of frozen gold
And your heart would never thought you beat all I ever saw
Yes you beat all I ever saw

WALTZ ACROSS TEXAS

(Talmadge Tubb) « © '65 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
When we dance together my world's in disguise
It's a fairyland tale that come true
And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you
Waltz across Texas with you in my arms waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
And I could waltz across Texas with you
[ steel - ac.guitar ] My heartaches and troubles are just up and gone
The moment that you come in view
And with your hand in mine dear I could dance on and on
And I could waltz across Texas with you
Waltz across Texas...

I NEVER HAD THE ONE I WANTED

(Claude Gray - Jimmy Louis - Sheb Wooley) « © '67 Vanjo Music, BMI »
I never had the one that I wanted never wanted the one that I had
For the one that I had was a good girl and the one that I want it was bad

They say that the grass always looks greener
And I guess that's the nature of a man
To let pashion have its way never thinking what he'll pay
And it's hard to win and hard to understand

I never had the one that I wanted...
[ steel ] What makes a man want to flirt with danger
Like a child that's playing with a fire
Must a mouse lost its cage be always out of reach
And the things that you can have you desire
I never had the one that I wanted never wanted the one that I had
If I ever get back to the good girl I will never go back to the bad

THERE'S NO ROOM IN MY HEART FOR THE BLUES

(Fred Rose - Zeb Turner) « © '53 Milene Music, ASCAP »
There's no room in my heart for the blues
Love is satisfied to either win or lose
Darling if our pathway parts let's that be no broken hearts
There's no room in my heart for the blues

There's no room in my mem'ry for tears
We left back on and be forgotten souvenirs
If your hungry heart forgets let there be no sad regrets
There's no room in my heart for the blues
[ guitar ] There's no room in my life for a sigh
We'll be strong enough to face our last goodbye
Darling when our romance ends let us part as best of friends
There's no room in my heart for the blues

There's no room in my heart...

BRING YOUR HEART HOME

(Tom T. Hall) « © '66 Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Bring your heart home quit your wandering don't you get tired of living alone
I'll be waiting if you ever change your mind and bring your heart home

Bring your heart home break the change loose restless chains on your shuckled mind
I still loove you and you're welcome love still lives here bring your heart home
[ steel ] Bring your heart home...
Love still lives here bring your heart home
