UNCLE PEN

(Bill Monroe)
« © '51 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Oh the people would come from far away
They'd dance all night till the break of day
When the caller would holler do-se-do
We knew Uncle Pen was ready to go

Late in the evenin' about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle Lordy how it could ring
You could hear it talk you could hear it sing
[ fiddle ] Well he played an ole tune called Soldier's Joy
And the one they called Boston Boy
But the greatest of all was Ginny Lynn
To me that's where fiddlin' begin

Late in the evening about sundown...
[ fiddle ] I'll never forget that mournful day
When Uncle Pen was called away
They hung up his fiddle they hung up his bow
They kneow it was time for him to go

Late in the evenin' about sundown...

ONE WAY TICKET TO THE BLUES

(Jimmie Dallas)
« © '61 Warden Music, BMI »
Once I thought your love I'd win
But your ole flame showed up in town again
Now I know your love I'll lose
I've got a one way ticket to the blues

I've got a one way ticket to a world that's filled with tears
All my dreams and hopes are gone we built up through the years
Seems I can't win I always lose
I've got a one way ticket to the blues
[ steel - fiddle ] I tried to find somebody new
But in my heart there's only room for you
You gave me something I can't lose
I've got a one way ticket to the blues

I've got a one way ticket to a world that's filled with tears...

MY NAME IS MUD

(Bill Anderson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
My name was Stranger on the night that we met
And then it was Sweetheart and it might have been yet
But my arms grew careless like I feared that they would
Now my arms are empty my lips are so cold and my name is Mud

My name is Mud my darlin' is gone
She won't even see me she won't even write me she won't even phone
Oh they call me a cheater and they say I'm no good
And in any man's language my name is Mud
[ piano ] My true love worshipped the ground where I stand
Till she learned the hard way it was just shifting sand
Oh she cried enough teardrops to start her a flood
Teardrops soak my name in the sand and my now name is Mud

My name is Mud my darlin' is gone...

I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU CALLING MY NAME

(Lee Emerson)
« © '56 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
I said goodbye to you this mornin'
With only these words to explain
I said I've found someone I love better
But I still hear your voice call my name

I thought I heard you callin' my name
Funny I still feel this way
Your voice seemed so close but I knew
That by now you were many miles away
[ steel - fiddle ] I walk through the streets of the city
People passin' by think it's so strange
I'm talkin' but there's no one beside me
I thought I heard you callin' my name

I thought I heard you callin' my name...

TENNESSEE BORDER

(Jimmy Work)
« © '49 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Her eyes were blue her hair was auburn her smile was like an angel dear
She was her daddy's only daughter on the Tennessee border

One night I took a ride just across the line
I picked her up in my pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine
Her mother said no she's my only daughter
But we got married on the Tennesse border
[ fiddle ] The roses were bloomin' on the border the moon was shinin' from above
I fell in love the night I saw her on the Tennessee border

One night I took a ride just across the line...

I WENT OUT OF MY WAY

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky - Jean Elroad)
« © '61 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I went out of my way to make you happy
To love you when your other love went wrong
I went out of my way when you were lonely
Now I'm out of my mind since you've gone

I asked the fool on the stool next to me
What do you do with so much misery
Just one look in his eyes and I could see
He was out of his mind just like me
[ steel - fiddle ] I went out of my way to be near you
But one too many nights we were alone
I went out of my way to try and please you
Now I'm out of my mind since you've gone

I asked the fool on the stool next to me...

SUGARFOOT RAG

(Vaughn Horton - Hank Garland - George Vaughn)
« © '49 Cromwell Music, ASCAP »
(Sugarfoot rag sugarfoot rag)

Gonna get out my sycamore and shine up my shoes
Meet my baby and tell her the news
I bet my bundle on a swayback nag
And I come home winner with a plenty o'swag

One foot two foot slew foot drag
Swing your honey to the Sugarfoot Rag
Dig a little jig then a zig and a zag
With the guitar pickin' of the Suigarfoot Rag
[ guitar ] Got a big jug o'cider and a bottle of wine
One's for my honey and the other one's mine
We sip on the cider then we sip on the wine
We both sip together and a have a good time

One foot two foot slew foot drag...
[ guitar ] Gonna spend my money and a git on a jag
Swing my honey to the Sugarfoot Rag
Walk right up and stomp on the floor
And swing up the middle with a shoofly four

One foot two foot slew foot drag...

CRYIN' LOUD

(Jimmy Self)
« © '61 Warden Music, BMI »
Tonight I'm all alone in my lonely room
Outside the rain is cold and slowly fallin'
And when I close my eyes that's when I realize
Inside me something keeps callin'

I'm cryin' loud loud loud and can't be heard
Oh you should see these teardrops fallin'
I'm cryin' loud loud loud it can't be heard
Darlin' can't you hear my heart callin'
(Callin') callin' (callin')
I'm cryin' loud and can't be heard
[ fiddle ] Callin' for my love my one and only love
I've cried till my pillow's wet with tears
No matter what you've done you're still the only one
So please come back and dry these tears

I'm cryin' loud loud loud and can't be heard...

MISERY LOVES COMPANY

(Jerry Reed Hubbard)
« © '61 ATV Songs, BMI »
So break out the bottle bring on the crowd
Yes gather round me cause misery loves company

I just left my home friend where I couldn't sleep
For missin' a woman that I couldn't keep
She just walked out and left me for somebody else
Now her memory keeps hauntin' me when I'm by myself

So break out the bottle bring on the crowd
Tell funny stories turn the jukebox up loud
Come on sit at my table where the drinks're on me
Yes gather round me cause misery loves company

Now I'm not the first one who's lost ev'rything
To a false hearted woman with a false hearted dream
But this is the first time I've suffered myself
Help me get over this love I'll handle the next love all by myself

So break out the bottle bring on the crowd...

I GOTTA FIND SOMEONE (WHO LOVES LIKE I DO)

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky - Jean Elroad)
« © '61 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I can't stand the thoughts of you with somebody else
I can't keep pretending just foolin' myself
It hurts me too much to think you'll never be mine
But somewhere there's someone that I've got to find

I've gotta find someone who loves like I do
I've gotta have someone wish it could have been you
Oh it tears my heart out to think we are through
But I've gotta find someone who loves like I do

I've gotta find someone who loves like I do...

TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER

(Arthur Kent - Ed Warren)
« © '61 Music Sales, ASCAP »
I suppose I ought to say congratulations
For you've won the only girl I've ever loved
But I hurt too much to face the situation
Just take good care of her take good care of her

Just to be around her was my greatest pleasure
She was ev'rything my future held in store
So remember when you take my only treasure
Please take good care of her take good care of her

I must accept it she loves you more than me
So with my broken heart I'll bow out gracefuly
Please don't send me any wedding invitation
For I couldn't bear to see her there with you
If she's happy that will be my consolation
So take good care of her take good care of her
[ fiddle ] Take good care of her take good care of her

I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE TONIGHT

(Johnny Bond)
« © '41 Red River Songs, BMI »
Tonight I'm sad my heart is weary wondering if I'm wrong or right
To dream about you though you've left me I wonder where you are tonight

The rain is cold and slowly fallin' upon my window pane tonight
And though your love was even colder I wonder where you are tonight
[ steel - fiddle ] Your heart was cold you never loved me though you often said you cared
And now you've gone to find another someone who'll know the love I'll share

The rain is cold and slowly fallin' upon my window pane tonight...
