JUST CALL ME LONESOME

(Rex Griffin) « © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Why must I love a heartless one who'll never know the harm she's done
Though love is blind I should have known just call me lonesome from now on

I climb the stairs up to my room but no one meets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she is gone just call me lonesome from now on
[ steel ] These walls will hide me when I cry I pray to heaven I could die
What good is life when love is gone just call me lonesome from now on

I pray my memories at last will fade into the distant past
If I must live and love alone just call me lonesome from now on

LET'S THINK ABOUT LIVIN'

(Boudleaux Bryant) « © '60 House Of Bryant, BMI »
In every other song that I've heard lately some fellow get shot
And his baby and his best friend both died with him as likely as nut
In half of the other songs some cat's cryin' are ready to die
We've lost most all of our happy people and I'm a wonderin' why

Let's think about livin' let's think about lovin'
Let's think about hoopin' and a hopin' and a poppin' and a lovey dovey dovin'
Let's forget about a whinnin' and a cryin' and a shootin' and a dyin'
And a fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about livin' let's think about life
[ guitar ] Well we lost ol' Marty Robbins back in El Paso a little while back
And now Miss Mary John or one of them girls they're wearin' black
Cathy's Clown's got Don and Phil so lonesome they could die
If we keep on losin' our singers like that I'll be the only one you can buy

Let's think about livin'...
Let's think about livin'...
Let's think about livin' let's think about life

ALONE WITH YOU

(Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore - Faron Young) « © '58 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
(How I'd love to be alone with you)
How I'd love to be around you when the lonely nights surround you
How I'd love to be alone with you
What I'd give to have the power to be with you one hour
How I'd love to be alone with you

Just to be with you one night you and me alone
This would be a joy unending could be a real beginning
How I'd love to be alone with you
[ guitar ] If I only knew for certain I'd cut out all my flirtin'
How I'd love to be alone with you
Won't you try to be my baby just for once and then well maybe
I could always be alone with you

Just to be with you one night...
How I'd love to be alone with you how I'd love to be alone with you

THEY'LL NEVER TAKE HER LOVE FROM ME

(Leon Payne) « © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face the Gods would see
Cause she'll walk along beside me up those golden stairs
Oh they'll never never take her love from me

What a fool I was to go and break the heart she gave
And see her love turn into sympathy
It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave
Oh they'll never never take her love from me
[ steel ] I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
That we shared together in the used to be
Someone else's arms may hold her now in fond caress
But they'll never never take her love from me

I thought I'd make her happy if I stepped aside
But I knew her love would never set me free
And even on the day that she became another's bride
I said they'll never never take her love from me

I TAKE THE CHANCE

(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin) « © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I take the chance to lose my soul my life my pride
I take the chance to be with you

I know it's wrong for us to steal a kiss
But when you hold me in your arms oh I can't resist
I have a home and someone kind and true
I know I'd lose it all if I was seen with you

I take the chance to lose my soul my life my pride
I take the chance to be with you
I've tried to live my life the best I can
I've prayed I'd never cheat to heed my heart's command

But dear you know to one I've been untrue
I wonder if you think I'd do the same to you
I take the chance to lose my soul my life my pride
I take the chance to be with you

GUESS THINGS HAPPEN THAT WAY

(Jack Clement) « © '58 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Well you ask me if I'll forget my baby I guess I will someday
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way
You ask me if I'll get along I guess I will someway
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

Once I had a girl to lean on then she put me on my own
Heaven help me be a man and have the strenght to stand alone
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way
[ guitar ] You ask me if I'll miss her kisses I guess I will everyday
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way
You ask me if I'll find another I don't know I can't say
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

Once I had a girl to lean on...
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

REMEMBER ME (I'M THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU)

(Stuart Hamblen) « © '49 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Hamblen Music, ASCAP »
When you're all alone and blue no one to tell your troubles to
Remember me I'm the one who loves you
And when this old world turned you down not a true friend can be found
Remember me I'm the one who loves you

And through all kinds of weather you'll find I'll never change
Through the sunshine and the shadows I'll always be the same
We're together right or wrong where you go I'll tag along
Remember me I'm the one who loves you

And through all kinds of weather...

MOLLY DARLING

(Eddy Arnold) « © '51 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Won't you tell me Molly darling that you love none else but me
For I love you Molly darling you are all the world to me

Oh tell me darling that you love me put your little hand in mine
Take my heart sweet Molly darling say you'll always be just mine

Stars are shining Molly darling through a misty veil of night
They seem laughing Molly darling while they seem to hide their light

Oh no one listens but the flowers while they hang their heads in shame
They are modest Molly darling when they hear me call your name

Molly fairest sweetest dearest look up darling tell me this
Do you love me Molly darling let your answer be a kiss

ROCKIN' ALONE IN AN OLD ROCKIN' CHAIR

(Bob Miller) « © '32 Lone Star Cowboy Music »
Sitting alone in an old rockin' chair
I saw an old mother with silvery hair
She seemed so neglected by those who should care
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

Her hands were caloused wrinckled and old
A life of hard work was the story they told
And I've thought of angels as I saw her there
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain
Though life has been bitter well she'd live it again
And carry the cross that seems more than her share
Just rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

It wouldn't take much to gladden her heart
Some small remembrance on somebody's part
A letter would brighten her empty heart there
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

I look at her and I think what a shame
The ones who forget her she loves just the same
And I think of angels as I see her there
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

GONNA FIND ME A BLUEBIRD

(Marvin Rainwater) « © '61 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Gonna find me a bluebird let him sing me a song
Cause my heart's been broken much too long
Gonna chase me a rainbow through a heaven of blue
Cause I'm all through crying over you

There was a time my love was needed my life completed my dreams came true
Then came the time my life was haunted my love unwanted all for you
Gonna find me a bluebird let him sing me a song
Cause my heart's been broken much too long
[ whistle ] There was a time my love was needed...

THERE STANDS THE GLASS

(Russ Hull - Mary Jean Shurtz - Audrey Greisham) « © '53 Jamie Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
There stands the glass that will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain it's my first one today
There stands the glass that will hide all my tears
That will drown all my fear brother I'm on my way

I'm wondering where you are tonight I wonder if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim it's my first one today
[ steel ] I'm wondering where you are tonight...

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
