I DON'T WANNA PLAY HOUSE

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton) « © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Today I sat alone at the window
And I watched our little girl outside at play
With the little boy next door like so many times before
But something didn't seem quite right today

So I went outside to see what they were doing
And then the teardrops made my eyes go dim
Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little girl say to him

I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun
I watched mommy and daddy and if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house it makes my mommy cry
Cause when she played house my daddy said goodbye

I don't wanna play house...

JACKSON AIN'T A VERY BIG TOWN

(Vic McAlpin) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Tonight at nine we get married friends all say it's a shame and disgrace
That he's loved every woman in Jackson but Jackson ain't a very big place

Tomorrow we'll go walking I'll count each one with a tear on her face
Then I'll know just how many think I'm lucky cause Jackson ain't a very big place

Yes Jackson is a mighty small town where gossips and rumors go round
But the gossips are the ones he turned down and Jackson ain't a very big town
[ steel ] Yes Jackson is a mighty small town...

BROADMINDED

(Jimmy Payne - Leona Williams) « © '68 Ensign Music, BMI »
Broadminded I just don't understand
A broadminded narrowminded man
A broadminded narrowminded man

Every night I catch you sleeping with a smile on your face
And calling names that I don't even know
Dear the call of Pat or Gracy and drink down at Stacey's
It's making plans to see your girlies show

Broadminded I just don't understand...

Every time you take me dancin' where we haven't been before
Just to celebrate my night away from home
You start watchin' painted faces and flirt with the waitress
When we dance it just looks like dancin' alone

Broadminded I just don't understand...
Broadminded I just don't understand...

CRY

(Churchill Koleman) « © '51 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream oh don't you sometimes think it's real
But it's only false emotions that you feel

If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep gettin' bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your head down and go on and cry

If your heartaches seem to hang around too long..

PHONE CALL

(Norro Wilson) « © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Hello who's speaking mama I didn't think it was you
I've had a hard time reaching you
Now mama don't start crying don't worry I'm all right you see
You know how he's mistreated me

If I'd stayed at home what would people say
After all that's happened it doesn't matter anyway
Mama your little girl gets lonely in a big old town like this
I wish I had my teddy bear to sleep with

But mama how are you yes I'll call you in a week or so
My time is up I'll have to go
My time is up I'll have to go

IT'S MY WAY

(Wayne P. Walker - Webb Pierce) « © '56 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I'll live every day for you and I'll breath every breath for you
So if I'm mean and make you blue it's my way of loving you

If I say that you're untrue and it breaks your heart in two
I can't help the things I do it's my way of loving you

Try to understad my love look into my heart
Don't you know I'd want to die if we ever part

All my life I'm gonna love you so there may be times it may not show
That my love for you is true it's my way of loving you

If I say that you're untrue...
It's my way of loving you

TAKE ME TO YOUR WORLD

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton) « © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
If you can find it in your heart to just forgive
I'll come back and live the way you wanted me to live
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world

Take me to your world away from barrooms filled with smoke
Where I won't have to sip a drink or hear another dirty joke
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world
[ strings - piano ] Take me to your world make me forget the things I've heard
Where people say I love you and love is not a dirty word
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world

(OR) IS IT LOVE

(Ray Buzzeo) « © '68 Shirl Ray Music, BMI »
Each time you touch me that little tingle goes up and down my spine
I feel a trembling on my lips when you press yours to mine
And these butterflies won't let me eat at suppertime
Have I lost my mind or is it love
[ organ ] You make my heart beat until it's sounding like it's on over time
The chill of winter goes up and down me but it's still summertime
And why am I walking way up on this cloud so high
Have I grown wings to fly or is it love

And why am I walking...

FUZZY WUZZY EGO

(Hank Mills) « © '68 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
With one elbow on the bar you're drinking double
Tryin' hard to drown up my memories
And you're telling all your buddies all your troubles
Laying the blame smack upon me

If you set that bottle down and while I listen
You lose your pain inside that hurts you so
Neither one of us is all to blame baby
It's your foggy woggy wishy washy fuzzy wuzzy ego

You see you had it in your mind that I was the kind
Of those who do anything you wanted me to
No two people are the same so no one is to blame
Cause baby I've got an ego too

Come on back to me and we would talk things over
I love you baby and I need you so
Wrap yourself to steamin' hot black cup of coffee
Forget your foggy woggy wishy washy fuzzy wuzzy ego
[ guitar - steel ] Come on back to me...
Forget your foggy woggy wishy washy fuzzy wuzzy ego

GOOD

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton) « © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
I was a waitress in a barroom no future in sight
And he was just lonely when he came there that night
Then someone played the jukebox and he asked me to dance
And when he softly held me I thought it's my chance

To be good like I want to be that's what he's saw in me
Not just a girl on the wrong side of town
Good like I used to be he brought it out in me
And that's when I promised that I'd never let him down

Now I'm back here in a barroom a waitress again
The good world I've lived in just came to an end
For temptation comes easy to a woman like me
And regardless of my chances I know that I'll never be

Good like I used to be I guess it's just not in me
With all my heart how I wish I prove
I've been good like he wanted me but good is what I'll never be
And now I know that he's gone for good

ODE TO BILLIE JOE

(Bobbie Gentry) « © '67 Nortbridge Music, ASCAP »
It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered at the backdoor y'all remember to wipe your feet
And then she said I got the news this mornin' from Choctaw Wridge
Today Billie Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Papa said to mama as he passed around the black eyed peas
Well Billie Joe never had a lick of sense pass the biscuits please
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow
And mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe anyhow
Seems like nothing ever comes to no good upon Choctaw Wridge
And now Billie Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night
I'll have another piece of apple pie you know it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday upon Choctaw Wridge
And now you tell me Billie Joe has jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Mama said to me child what's happened to your apetite
Well I've been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher brother Tailor dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you upon Choctaw Wridge
She and Billie Joe was throwin' somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge

A year has come and gone since we heard the news about Billie Joe
Brother married Becky Thompson and they bought a store in Tupelo
There was virus goin' round papa caught it and he died last spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me I spent a lot of time pickin' flowers upon Chotaw Wridge
And dropped 'em into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
