COUNTRY MUSIC HAS GONE TO TOWN

(Jimmie Driftwood)
« © '64 Warden Music, BMI »
Oh they say that country music's gone to town
Hold your flocks and put on the cap and gown
What's the country boy to do what's this world a comin' to
Oh they say that country music's gone to town

Grandpa used to take his dear old fiddle on his knee
And Uncle Buck would git the banjo down
The only music ever heard that could stop a mockin' bird
Now they say that country music's gone to town
Oh they say that country music's...
[ fiddle - el.banjo ] One day I was walkin' through the canyons and the hills
I came upon a cabin far away
An old man with his banjo sat there a paddin' his big toe
And as he played it I could hear his say
Oh they say that country music's...

BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY

(Bill Monroe)
« © '46 Peer International, BMI / Bill Monroe Music, BMI »
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
It was on the moonlight night the stars were shining bright
When she whispered on high your love has said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and said goodbye
[ fiddle ] It was on the moonlight night...

WAKIN' UP THE CROWD

(Red Hayes - Johnny Rector)
« © '60 Warden Music, BMI »
Wakin' up the crowd wakin' up the crowd
Everybody's havin' fun we're wakin' up the crowd
Wakin' up the crowd wakin' up the crowd
Everybody's dancin' now we're wakin' up the crowd

Now all you boys that sittin' round don't pass up this chance
Wrap the gal that's next to you get on the floor and dance
Now's the time to show her off and make her feel so proud
Cause everybody's dancin' now we're wakin' up the crowd
Wakin' up the crowd...
[ guitar ] A while ago when I came in was a sight to see
Oh everybody looked so sad I thought oh mercy me
When the band stuck up a tune to get it good and loud
Cause everybody's dancin' now we're wakin' up the crowd
Wakin' up the crowd...

LEGEND OF THE BIG STEEPLE

(Charles Underwood)
« © '60 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
There's a legend about a church in our town the steeple so high seen for miles around
Look on the hill and you'll realize the steeple's too big for the churches size
It seemes it was a long time ago when this church had no steeple
Just four walls and the roof overhead sheltered the humble people
But the money was short cause the times were bad
They had to get along on what they had
Just good simple people praying for a steeple
About this time when spring was near a man of weath and his sweetheart dear
Made their plans for the bells to ring they would wed on the first of spring
So this man of wealth and his true love dear named the wedding hours
They would wed in the little church the one that had no towers
But he was the kind and generous man he told his true love of his plan
How to build a steeple for these good people
Yes they'll have their steeple the bells there will ring
They'll ring for our wedding on the first day of spring
But they say death comes like a thief and soon his heart was filled with grief
One week before the wedding day he learned his love has passed away
Inspite of his grief and broken heart he kept the promise given
I'll build the steeple so my love can hear the bells in heaven
And then he built the steeple there the tallest one in all the land
That's how the people got their steeple
Well that is the reason the steeple lives so high
And how the bells ring louder when springtime is nigh

Now will you love me little darlin' when I'm in some distant land
And you know I can't be with you or will you be lovin' another man

And before I'm out of sight dear you'll be lovin' another man
Will you be lovin' another man...
[ fiddle ] Now if I find this to be true dear I want you to please understand
Don't be cryin' on my shoulder just keep on lovin' another man
Will you be lovin' another man...

HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH YOU

(Lester Flatt)
« © '50 Peer International, BMI »
I think I'll go across the ocean if I don't change my notion
I just got to forget you if I can
Well I'm feelin' so blue I don't know what to do
Because I'm head over heels in love with you
Every day I'm sad and lonely I keep thinkin' of you only
I just can't bear the thought of losin' you
Well I'm feelin' so blue I don't know what to do
Because I'm head over heels in love with you
[ el.banjo - fiddle ] Oh when nights are sad and lonely I keep thinkin' of you only
I just can't bear the thought of losin' you
Well I'm feelin' so blue...
Oh yes I'm head over heels in love with you

FALLING AGAIN

(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Falling falling falling out of love)
Darling we're falling in and out of love but each time we're falling back again
We have a fight and then we make back up now here we go falling again
Falling again falling again falling again out of love
Each time this happens when we make a vow to keep our love grew thick or thin
But then we disagree as we're doin' now and here we go falling again
Falling again falling again falling again out of love
Darling someday I hope we'll settle down this falling back and forth the sin
Not knowing which sweet kiss will be the last or when we're falling out again
Falling again falling again falling again out of love (falling falling falling out of love)

JUST BEFORE DAWN

(Ned Miller - Roy Aldridge)
« © '58 Jamie Music, BMI »
Uh uh uh uh just before dawn
Just before the sun breaks the darkness just before the shadows move on
I know a fool like me should be sleeping just uh hu uh uh before dawn
I keep telling my heart it's not worth it for all time our love's been living on
Still I'm here all alone my heart's breaking uh hu uh uh before dawn
I hold you in my arms while I'm sleeping
I awake to find the pillow I sleep on and you're gone
Just before the sun breaks the darkness just before the shadows move on
I beg my aching heart to forget you uh hu uh uh before dawn
Uh uh uh uh just before dawn

LITTLE CABIN HOME ON THE HILL

(Lester Flatt - Bill Monroe)
« © '47 Peer International, BMI / Bill Monroe Music, BMI »
Tonight I'm alone without you my dear but in my heart's a longin' for you still
All I have to do now is sit alone and pine in our little cabin home on the hill
Oh someone has taken you from me and left me here all alone
Just listen to the rain beat on my window pane in our little cabin home on the hill
[ dobro - el.banjo ] I hope you were happy tonight as you are but in my heart's a longin' for you still
But I'll just keep it there then I won't be alone in our little cabin home on the hill
Oh someone has taken you from me...
