GIVE ME A LITTLE OLD FASHIONED LOVE

(Ernest Tubb) « © '48 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
Give me a little old fashioned love the kind that lingers through the years
The kind that's made by God up above give me a little old fashioned love
Now you can have the girls with rosy cheeks the ones that coo like turtle dove
I just want a simple girl that's sweet so give me a little old fashioned love
[ guitar ] Now you can have the girls that's dressed so nice
From their head down to their little feet
But if you want some real good advice
The old fashioned girls just can't be beat

So give me a little old fashioned love...
[ steel ] Now you can have the girls with wordly ways that's had a dozen so called love affair
But they'll never make me their slave I want a simple girl that's on the square

So give me a little old fashioned love...

I'M A SAD LONELY MAN (THAT LOVE LEFT BEHIND)

(Glenn Raye - Ralph Davis) « © '65 Careers Music, BMI » [ Cal Smith ]
I'm a sad lonely man who walks in the night
Stopped here at your tavern it's the last one in sight
I have no destination I hope you won't mind
I'm a sad lonely man that love left behind

To me nothing matters there's no hope left within
The one love I live for is gone with the wind
These tears you see falling don't blame on the wine
I'm a sad lonely man that love left behind
[ steel ] My clothes I have tattered but these lines in my face
Were put there by heartaches that time won't erase
I can't claim the future but the past is all mine
I'm a sad lonely man that love left behind

To me nothing matters...

(ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GONNA BE) STRANGERS

(Liz Anderson) « © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
All the love you promised would be mine forever
I would have bet my bottom dollar on
Well it sure turned out to be a short forever
Just once I turned my back and you were gone

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
I was a fool believing you and now you are gone
[ guitar ] It amazes me not knowing any better
Than to think I had a love that would be true
Why I should be taken out tired and feathered
To have let myself be taken in by you

From now on all my friends...

THROW YOUR LOVE MY WAY

(Ernest Tubb - Loys Southerland) « © '65 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
To me you're just as pretty as a speckled pup
That's why I keep on callin' and I can't give up
I'll give you everything I've got from A to Z
If you will only throw your pretty love at me

She's got the kinda smile that would turn you up and down
She's got the kinda love that started men to slippin' round
Well I don't think I'm slippin' but I just have to say
For goodness grace you baby throw love my way
[ steel ] I know you got me hangin' from a broken limb
I'm like a little dog I've got to sink or swim
But I could swim the ocean like the Robert E Lee
If you are lonely you throw your pretty love at me

She's got the kinda smile...
[ guitar ] I see your eyes are a gleamin' seen 'em gray and brown
If so I'm gonna turn this whole world upside down
I give my share and heaven and I'll get down on my knees
If you will only throw your pretty love at me

She's got the kinda smile...

AFRAID TO CARE

(Jack Greene - Ken Campbell) « © '65 Careers Music, BMI » [ Jack Greene ]
Here I go again love's standing at my door
I'm so afraid to take a chance for I've been hurt before
It's not that I can't love you your life I'd like to share
But my heart's been broken so many times it's just afraid to care

Maybe time will ease the pain and someday I can love again
My heart can't stand a new affair
It's loved and lost so many times it's just afraid to care
[ steel ] Maybe time will ease the pain...

HONEYMOON WITH THE BLUES

(Eddie Noack - Walt Breeland) « © '65 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI » [ Johnny Wiggins ]
Wedding bells rang out today but not for me
They rang for somebody else in my old used to be
Had to catch a train I couldn't stand the news
I'm on a honeymoon with the blues
I thought her invitation was an answer to my note
Saying I was sorry for the unkind words I spoke
But it's just a oneway ticket that I can't refuse
To a honeymoon with the blues
So roll on eightwheel driver take me far far away
A thousand miles or more would be just fine
The blues and I are celebratin' our wedding day
And we have no special or particular place in mind
I know that we're not headed for Niagara Falls
But any destination would just lead me to four walls
Well I spend weary nights wearing out my shoes
On my honeymoon with the blues
[ ac.guitar ] Never thought I'd take this trip without a girl of my dreams
Shoes and drives're what I've had in mind
So Mister Engineer won't you turn on the steam leaving all my dreams away behind
Say porter I'd like to order drinks for two
I know that I'm alone but then that's nothing new
While I'm celebratin' here's a drink for you on my honeymoon with the blues
I'm on a honeymoon with the blues

I'M WITH A CROWD BUT SO ALONE

(Ernest Tubb - Carl Story) « © '65 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
Tonight with another I'm dancing and we're smiling at the rest of the crowd
But I can't help wondering about you and your new love to whom you're so proud

At night I'm never alone I'm afraid that I'll weaken and phone
And I'm afarid that you will be gone I'm with a crowd but oh so alone
[ guitar ] I still have the picture you gave me you signed it with love you'll recall
And the one of me that you wanted isn't now hanging face to the wall

At night I'm never alone...

As long as I can keep smiling maybe I can fool the world don't you see
And perhaps some day I'll forget you and lose this heartache that you left with me

At night I'm never alone...

PRECIOUS LITTLE BABY

(Lee Roberts) « © '65 Many Music, BMI »
Maybe face and curly hair ruby lips beyond compare
She's my darling she's my precious little baby
She's the sweetest thing I know everybody tells me so
She's my darling she's my precious little baby
Mighty sweet and so lovely so easy to hold
Just an arm full of heaven when the nights are so cold
When we're walking hand in hand she never sees another man
For she's my darling she's my precious little baby
[ steel ] They took an angel's eyes of blue and gave them to my baby to
She's my darling she's my precious little baby
And when I come home at night she kisses me just right
She's my darling she's my precious little baby
Now if I should ever lose her I just wouldn't want to live
She gives me lots of lovin' and she's got so much to give
When I take my baby out it just makes me wanna shout
She's my darling she's my precious little baby

WHAT AM I BID

(Leon Rhodes - Clay Allen) « © '65 Careers Music, BMI » [ Leon Rhodes ]
What am I bid for these two eyes that gazed upon her
As a queen reighning on the throne
Once they were happy eyes now they're sad eyes goin' once goin' twice almost gone
What am I bid for these two lips that kissed her lips
The sweetest kiss these lips have ever known
It's been quite a while since they wore a smile goin' once goin' twice almost gone
What am I bid for these two arms that once held her
And knew the thrill of her charms for so long
Please make me some kind of an offer before all of the value is gone
What will you give for what you see before you this empty shell's standing alone
Here's the last chance before the bidding is over goin' once goin' twice goin' gone

THAT'S WHEN IT'S COMIN' HOME TO YOU

(Ernest Tubb - Lois Snapp) « © '43 Unichappell Music, BMI »
For the millions of lies that you told me and the millions of nights I've waited for you
But you'll find out someday for every wrong you'll pay
And that's when it's comin' home to you
Now you said that you love me and always would be true
But how could you love me and then keep hurtinig me the way you do

For the millions of heartaches you caused me
And the millions of tears I've shed over you
It's all been so unfair but honey someday I won't care
And that's when it's comin' home to you
[ steel - guitar ] It's never bothered me to see me sit and cry
But you laughed and said thare's for the best that we'll say goodbye

For the millions of heartaches...
And that's when it's comin' home to you
