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 fallin' 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
[ steel - fiddle ] 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 like fallin' rain...

SETTIN' THE WOODS ON FIRE

(Fred Rose - Ed G. Nelson)
« © '52 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Comb your hair and paint and powder
You act proud and I'll act prouder
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire
You're my gal and I'm your feller
Dress up in your frock of yeller
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller
Settin' the woods on fire

We'll take in all the honky tonks tonight we're havin' fun
We'll show the folks a brand new dance that never has been done
I don't care who thinks we're silly
You'll be daffy and I'll be dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili
Settin' the woods on fire
[ steel - fiddle - steel - fiddle ] I'll gas up my hot rod stoker
We'll get hotter than a poker
You'll be broke but I'll be broker
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire
We'll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We'll have us a time oh brother
Settin' the woods on fire

We'll put aside a little time to fix a flat or two
My tires and tubes are doin' fine but the air is showin' through
You clap hands and I'll start bowin'
We'll do all the laws allowin'
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin'
Settin' the woods on fire

YOU WIN AGAIN

(Hank Williams)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
The news is out all over town
That you've been seen a runnin' round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go you win again

This heart of mine could never see
What ev'rybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do you win again
[ steel ] I'm sorry for your victim now
Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say you win again

You have no heart you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still you win again

HEY GOOD LOOKIN'

(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Say hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
Hey sweet baby don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recepie

I got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me
Say hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
[ steel - fiddle - steel ] I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about savin' all your time for me
No more lookin' I know I've been tooken
How's about keepin' steady company

I'm gonna throw my datebook over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents
I'll keep it till it's covered with age
Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page
Say hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me

CRAZY HEART

(Fred Rose - Maurice Murray)
« © '51 Milene Music, ASCAP »
You thought she'd cared for you and so you acted smart
Go on and break your crazy heart
You lived on promises I knew would fall apart
Go on and break your crazy heart

You never would admit you were mistaken
You didn't even know the chances you were taken
I knew you couldn't win I've told you from the start
Go on and break your crazy heart
[ steel - fiddle ] I knew you'd wake up and find her missin'
I tried my best to warn you but you wouldn't listen
You told me I was wrong you thought that you were smart
Go on and break your crazy heart

MOVE IT ON OVER

(Hank Williams)
« © '47 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Came in last night at a half past ten
That baby of my wouldn't let me in
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause the big dog's movin' in

She's changed the lock on our front door
My door key don't fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause the fat dog's movin' in

This doghouse here is mighty small
But it's better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause the new dog's movin' in
[ guitar ] She told me not to play around
But I done let her deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move in on over)
Move over nice dog's cause the mad dog's movin' in

She warned me once she warned me twice
But I don't take no one advice
So scratch it on over (move it on over)
Shake it on over (move it over)
Move over short dog cause the tall dog's movin' in
[ steel ] She'll crawl back to me on her knees
I'll be busy scratchin' please
So slide it on over (move it on over)
Sneak it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog's cause the mad dog's movin' in

Remember up before you whine
That side's yours and this side's mine
So shove it on over (move it on over)
Sweep it on over (move it on over)
Move over cold dog cause the hot dog's movin' in

COLD COLD HEART

(Hank Williams)
« © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

KAW-LIGA

(Hank Williams - Fred Rose)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Milene Music, ASCAP »
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standin' by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head
[ fiddle ] Kaw-Liga was a lonely Indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an ole pine tree

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss...

I COULD NEVER BE ASHAMED OF YOU

(Hank Williams)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Ev'rybody says you let me down
I should be ashamed to take you round
Makes no difference what you used to do
Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you were reckless yesterday
But together we can find a brighter day
In my heart I know that you'll come true
Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you
[ steel - fiddle ] All the happiness I've ever known
Came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through
Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you've been cheated in the past
And perhaps those memories will always last
Even though you prove to be untrue
Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you

HALF AS MUCH

(Curley Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
[ fiddle - steel ] If you loved me half as much as I love you...
If you missed me half as much as I miss you...

MY HEART WOULD KNOW

(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I could say it's over now
That I was glad to see you go
I could hate you for the way I'm feelin'
My lips could tell a lie but my heart would know

It's a sin to make me cry
When you know I love you so
I could tell my heart that I don't miss you
My lips could tell a lie but my heart would know
[ steel ] I could give you all the blame
But I'm sure the truth would show
I could tell this world I found a new love
My lips could tell a lie but my heart would know

I can't fool my cryin' heart
Cause it knows I need you so
I could tell my heart I'm glad we parted
My lips could tell a lie but my heart would know

I'M SORRY FOR YOU MY FRIEND

(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You've known so long that you were wrong but still you had your way
You told her lies and alibies and hurt her more each day
But now your conscience bothers you you've reached your journey's end
You're asking me for sympathy I'm sorry for you my friend

You laughed inside each time she cried you tried to make her blue
She tugged along through right and wrong because she worshipped you
You know that you're the one to blame there's no use to pretend
Today's the day you start to pay I'm sorry for you my friend
[ steel - fiddle - steel ] Today as she walked arm in arm at someone else's side
It made you stop and realize that time has turned the tide
You should have known you'd be alone cause cheaters never win
You tried and lost now pay the cost I'm sorry for you my friend
