LET'S TURN BACK THE YEARS

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Darling let's turn back my years
And go back to yesterday
Let's pretend that time has stopped
And I didn't go away

We had our love to make us happy
It wasn't meant to bring us tears
Love like ours should never die So darling let's turn back the years
[ steel - guitar ] We had our love to make us happy...

I NEED ATTENTION BAD

(Ernest Tubb - Baba Stewart) « © '69 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
Well I took you to the station to leave on your vacation
But ever since the day I've been sad
The days and nights are lonely kepp thinkin' of you only
I need attention bad

It's your lovin' I'm a missin' I need a little kissin'
But just to hold you tight would make me glad
I need my arms about you I can't live without you
I need attention bad
Oh Blondy
[ guitar ] Now there's lots of gals to dance with plenty to romance with
But none can match the love that I've had
I need a little pettin' lots more than I'm gettin'
I need attention bad

I never thought your leavin' would cause me this much grievin'
Your gone away has almost drove me mad
So baby quit your funnin' and come on home a runnin'
I need attention bad
Oh Buddy
[ steel ] Now there's lots of gals to dance with plenty to romance with
But none can match the love that I've had
Lord I need a little pettin' lots more than I'm gettin'
I need attention bad
I'm not just jokin' I need attention bad

YESTERDAY'S TEARS

(Ernest Tubb) « © '69 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Yesterday's tears are still fallin' yesterday's dreams are still broken
Yesterday's love is still livin' a love that will never be spoken

I've tried so hard to forget dear tried not to spoil everything
You are the one who has given but all you've recieved dear is pain

My life has been such a sorrow my world has crumbled like clay
My heart has slowly been dyin' since you told me goodbye that day
Oh Blondy now
[ guitar ] Long weary years you have suffered to keep from hurting someone
If only I could repay you for all of the kind things you've done

You haven't spared me my darling everything to you I owe
All I can say is I love so much more than anyone know

So yesterday's tears are still fallin' yesterday's dreams are still broken
Yesterday's love is still livin' a love that will never be spoken

I'M FREE AT LAST

(Lewis G. Candys) « © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'm free at last from love and all its worry
I'm free because you wanted it that way
Now you can go but there's no need to hurry
Cause never again will I ask you to stay

So run along I know that you don't want me
So many times you proved that in the past
After you're gone when mem'ries come to haunt me
I'll hide my tears and say I'm free at last
Oh Buddy [ steel ] I'm free at last don't ask me why I'm crying
Strange as it seems somehow I love you yet
Don't say you care you know that you'd be lying
Don't hurt me more show my heart some respect

So run along I know that you don't want me...

GIVE MY LOVE TO ROSE

(Johnny Cash) « © '57 House Of Cash, BMI »
I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dyin' fellow said

He said they let me out of prison out in Frisco
For ten long years I paid for what I done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son

Give my love to Rose please won't you Mister
Take her all my money tell her buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
[ guitar - steel ] Won't you tell them I said thanks for waitin' for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
Cause it ain't right she should live alone

Mister here's the bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
Now don't forget to give my love to Rose

Give my love to Rose please won't you Mister...
Please don't forget to give my love to Rose

SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON

(Hank Locklin) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I share your love in dream that once was true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
[ guitar ] Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a mem'ry's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
So darling I can dream on it too

BLUE EYED ELAINE

(Ernest Tubb) « © '63 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Side by side we'll roll along sweetheart you and I
And to you I'll sing this song as the years go passing by
Times may be good or they may be bad but you'll never frown
I couldn't find a sweeter pal if I'd search the whole world around

Blue eyed Elaine you're the sweetest thing and I love you so
And you'll always be the same no matter where we go
We'll travel here we'll travel there and we'll never part
You'll always be my blue eyed Elaine and I'll be your sweetheart
Oh Blondy
[ guitar ] When skies are grey and things go wrong we'll never fret nor sigh
But we'll just keep traveling on with our heads held up high
And when I gaze into your eyes your heart and soul I claim
And you know the reason why I love you blue eyed Elaine

Blue eyed Elaine you're the sweetest thing...

OUR BABY'S BOOK

(Ernest Tubb) « © '41 Unichappell Music, BMI »
There's a new star in heaven tonight
The brightest of them all up there
As we gaze at the sky we wonder why
That the Lord took our baby so fair

For he was as sweet as the rose
His eyes was so big bright and blue
And it made me so glad they said he favors his dad
And my wife that he's the image of you
[ guitar ] Now you should see our baby's book
It's pink and bordered with gold
Though it's not complete but on the first sheet
Our darling's life story is told

It tells of the days that he came
To add more joy to our home
After seven short weeks our Master did speak
And now Roger Dale has gone

But I know that he's happy up there
I can vision ejection and look
Friends as you travel on please remember this song
For it's written in our baby's book

I'LL GO ON ALONE

(Marty Robbins) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
We're traveling down two different roads in world so far apart
You want me yet there's something else before me in your heart
You're wanting me to change my life the way you're living yours
But I can't change I see no way you wanted me before

If you don't want me like I am then please don't pity me
You can't change a little bit then why not set me free
We can't live together then it's best we live apart
You'll go your way and I'll go mine we'll both make brand new start
[ steel ] There's nothing we can do it seems we'll never get along
With you believing like you do you say I live so wrong
But I can't change my way of life I lived it much too long
You'll either take me like I am or I'll go on alone

So either say you want my love or take the way you live
Remember though before you get you got to learn to give
So if it change my life or go then go it's gonna be
Cause I can't change my life when you want something more than me
No I can't change my life when you want something more than me

TODAY

(Hank Thompson) « © '47 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Today I'm like a leaf in autumn never again to know the spring
Today my heart is at rock bottom sorrow nothing else could bring

But those words you told me just today you said I'm only in your way
You left me and what could I say for my world ended today
[ steel - guitar ] I turned and gazed into the darkness but no tomorrow could I see
And I remember your remark as I recall our used to be

I have a treasure yesterday something you can't take away
I'm lost I'll never find my way for my world ended today

YOU WON'T EVER FORGET ME

(Ernest Tubb - Lois Snapp) « © '69 Unichappell Music, BMI »
You tell me tonight that we're parting you tell me that we are through
You're sorry you say that it's over but that you have found somebody new

But before you leave me my darling before you go far away
Please listen to me for I love you dear and I have a few words to say

You won't ever forget me no matter how hard you'd try
And when it's too late my darling you will wish you had not said goodbye
[ guitar ] So be sure to your heart you're not lying be sure you don't still love me yet
It's easy to find a new love but an old love it's hard to forget

So dear take this thought along with you wherever you happen to be
Your lips may be true to another but your heart will be crying for me

Cause you won't ever forget me...
