I'M A LONG GONE DADDY

(Hank Williams) « © '48 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
All you want to do is sit around and pout and now I've got enough so I'm gettin' out
I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow
I've been in the doghouse for so doggone long
That when I get a kiss I think that somethin's wrong
I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow
[ guitar ] I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right
You go and get yourself a man that wants to fight
I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow
You start your jaws a waggin' and they never stop
You never shut your moth until I blow my top
I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow
[ steel ] I remember back when you were nice and sweet
Things have changed you'd rather fight than eat
I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow
I'm gonna do some ridin' on the midnight train
I'm taking evrything except my balled chain
I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

ALL THOSE YESTERDAYS

(Justin Tubb) « © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
What will I do with all those yesterdays where will I go what will I say
How can I live since you have gone away what will I do with all those yesterdays
Tomorrow never bothers me I know what it will bring
It is just another day and it won't mean a thing
But when nighttime falls and mem'ries come to play
What will I do with all those yesterdays
[ guitar ] Tomorrow never bothers me...

SAN ANTONIO ROSE

(Bob Wills) « © '40 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Deep within my heart lies a melody a song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I lived with a memory beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know still hears my broken song of love
Moon and all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love my own
Broken song empty words I know still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo and rose my Rose of San Antone
[ fiddle ] Moon and all your splendor...

THAT MY DARLIN' IS ME

(Justin Tubb) « © '57 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Take a body that's tortured with pain and give it a head that's bowed down in shame
Add two arms that once held you tight but only hold a pillow tonight
Then give it a heart that once lived for you but now is dying like broken hearts do
And add two lips you grew tired of you see and that my darling is me
[ guitar ] Then give it eyes that thought they could see as greater love as there ever could be
Add two ears that listen to all the gossip that prove to be true
Then give it a soul that's shattered and torn and a wedding ring that never was worn
I know this may be a strange sight to see but that my darling is me

EDUCATED MAMA

(Hal Willis - Ginger Willis) « © '57 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
You're an educated mama ain't that a heck of a note
Just cause I got no learnin' to sit around and float
You're an educated mama readin' night and day
If you knew how I could love you you throw them books away
I know you're educated your learnings really show
But how to make me happy is somethin' you don't know
You're an educated mama readin' night and day
If you knew how I could love you you throw them books away
[ guitar ] Your look's so somethin' special your figure is delicious
But you're colder as a iceberg and romantic as a fish
You're an educated mama readin' night and day
If you knew how I could love you you throw them books away
I'm goin' to the graveyard and dig a place I found
For anyone as dead as you belongs deep in the ground
You're an educated mama readin' night and day
If you knew how I could love you you throw them books away
You throw them books away

NEXT VOICE YOU HEAR

(Cindy Walker) « © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
The next voice you hear will be your conscience
As you lie awake and try so hard to sleep
And your unfaithful heart will have to listen
To the shabby little secrets you keep
You'll be tormented like you tormented me
And tears of shame will fall with every memory
But the next voice you hear will make you listen
Till you wish that you had listened to me
[ steel ] You'll be tormented...

I WONDER WHY I WORRY OVER YOU

(Cindy Walker) « © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Dear you're not worth to what it takes to mention your name
I wonder why I worry over you
The way you kicked my love around is such a crime and shame
I wonder why I worry over you
Friends with good intentions all tell me to get smart
And run away this very day before you break my heart
You'll never change your wicked ways you'll always be the same
I wonder why I worry over you
[ guitar ] Even when you know you're wrong I still get the blame
I wonder why I worry over you
If there's an art in breakin' hearts you could start a hall of fame
I wonder why I worry over you
If I walk out tomorrow it wouldn't bother you
You've got another waitin' now to see just what I do
And you're not worth to what it takes to mention your name
I wonder why I worry over you

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep you'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain you'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do your cheatin' heart will tell on you
[ guitar ] Your cheatin' heart will pine someday and crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you'll be blue your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down...

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE NOW

(Floyd Tillman - Jimmie Davis) « © '39 Peer International, BMI »
Makes no difference now what kind of life it hands me
I'll get along without you now that's plain to see
I don't care what happens next cause I'll get by somehow
I don't worry cause it makes no difference now
It was just a year ago when I first met you
I learned to love you and I thought you'd love me too
But now that's all in the past and I'll forget somehow
I don't worry cause it makes no difference now
[ guitar ] Now that we have really parted I can't believe we're through
I don't blame myself and I'm sure I can't blame you
There was something had to happen and it happened somehow
I don't worry cause it makes no difference now
After all it's said and done I'll soon forget you
Although I know that it will be so hard to do
Let things happen as they will and I'll get by somehow
I don't worry cause it makes no difference now

I'M WAITING FOR SHIPS THAT NEVER COME IN

(Jack Yellen - Abe Olsen) « © '53 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
I'm waiting for ships that never come in just watching and waiting in vain
It seems that life's stormy sea holds nothing for me
But broken dreams and shattered schemes
With each new day's dawning I try to pretend one more tomorrow and waiting will end
I'm waiting for ships that never come in I wonder where they can be

Now life is only a game of poker and happiness is the pot
They'd deal you five cards in the cradle and you play with your like it or not
Some game had a start with and the game doesn't seem on the square
When you pick up your cards and discover that you were born without even a pair
Now some take a chance on bluffing and stake everything they've got
On a little yankee poor flush and sometimes that wins a plot
While others will break up openers to draw for a middle straight
Why they know the chance they are taking but they learned your mistake too late
Now some can't plan crook it against all good advice
But they seldom get away with it at the end they've paid the price
Now me I've always been a loser why it seems I never can win
I'm just a dreamer who's waiting for ships that never come in
I'm waiting for ships that never come in I wonder where they can be

DON'T TRADE YOUR OLD FASHIONED SWEETHEART

(Eddie Noack) « © '58 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
Take away the bright lights and music take away the power and pain
And you'll find that a honky tonk angel can't compare with your home lovin' saint
She's just another woman who'll never make a home
She's had sweethearts before you she'll have others when you're gone
Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen
[ guitar ] She'll lie and she'll cry on your shoulder and she'll speek of a broken romance
She'll say that things might have been different take pitty but don't take a chance
Don't take a cheap imitation when you have a real pearl
Don't take this hard hearted woman for your old fashioned girl
Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen

IT'S THE AGE THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

(George Sherry - Vernon Claude) « © '58 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
When I was just a little boy and life was bright and new
Askin' foolish questions was all I could find to do
One day I asked my grandpa why he moved around so slow
He said listen son I'll tell you if you really wanna know
It's the age that makes the difference and the difference you can see
I'm runnin' out of what the doctors call vitality
I'm just like a dried up apple that keeps hangin' through a tree
It's the age that makes the difference and the difference tells on me
[ steel ] So when I started courtin' I was bashful and shy
It tore me all to pieces when a girl winked her eye
But when I started catchin' on I didn't learn to slow
Pretty soon they said I was a reckled Romeo
It's the age that makes the difference and the difference put me wise
That the time was right for lovin' and the limit was the skies
Pretty soon I found out what it took to not come cold
It was the age that made the difference and the difference made me bold
[ guitar ] Not long ago I was a man that really got around
But here I've laid I've noticed that I started slowin' down
I find that ain't no trouble now to stay at home at night
I'm mild and mellowed now but I will soon be over right
It's the age that makes the difference and the difference makes me know
That my high speed days are over and I'll have to take it slow
I ain't really feeling older but I just don't feel the same
It's the age that makes the difference father time can make a change
