DARK MOON

(Ned Miller) « © '56 Jamie Music, BMI »
Dark moon a way up high up in the sky
Oh tell me why oh tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon what is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because is it because I've lost my love

Mortals have dreams of love's perfect scheme
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring

A dark moon a way up high up in the sky...
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect scheme...
A dark moon a way up high up in the sky...

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 ] 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...

BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES

(Alton Delmore - Arthur Smith - Jerry Capehart) « © '47 Unichappell Music, BMI / Vidor Publications, BMI »
Beautiful beautiful brown eyes beautiful beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful beautiful brown eyes I'll never love blue eyes again

Willie my darling I love you love you with all my heart
Today we might have been married but drinking has kept us apart

Beautiful beautiful brown eyes beautiful beautiful brown eyes...
[ guitar ] Down through the barroom he staggered and fell down by the door
The very last words that he uttered I'll never get drunk anymore

Beautiful beautiful brown eyes beautiful beautiful brown eyes...
I'll never love blue eyes again

SEVEN LONELY DAYS

(Earl Shuman - Alden Shuman - Marshall Brown) « © '53 Music Sales, ASCAP »
Seven lonely days make one lonely week
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were through
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you

Oh my darling you're crying boo hoo hoo hoo
There's no use in denying I cry for you
It was your favorite past time making me blue
Last week was the last time I cry for you
[ fiddle - guitar ] Seven hankies blue I filled with my tears
Seven letters too I filled with my fears
Guess it never pays to make your lover blue
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you

Oh my darling you're crying boo hoo hoo hoo...

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 ] If you loved me half as much as I miss you...

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh

JEALOUS HEART

(Jenny Lou Carson) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Jealous heart oh jealous heart stop beating
Can't you see the damage you have done
You have driven him away forever
Jealous heart now I'm the lonely one

I was part of ev'rything he planned for
And I know he loved me at the start
Now he hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you oh jealous heart
[ steel ] Jealous heart why did I let you rule me
When I knew the end would bring me pain
Now he's gone he's gone and found another
Oh I'll never see my love again

Through the years his memory will haunt me
Even though we're many miles apart
It's so hard to know he'll never want me
Cause he heard your beating jealous heart

WHEN THE MOON COMES OVER THE MOUNTAIN

(Beasley Smith - Howard Johnson - Harry Woods) « © '59 Robbins Catalog, ASCAP »
When the moon comes over the mountain
Ev'ry beam brings a dream dear of you
Once again we stroll neath the mountain
Through that rose covered valley we knew

Each day is grey and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my mem'ries of you
[ steel ] Each day is grey and dreary...

BONAPARTE'S RETREAT

(Pee Wee King) « © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Met the one I love in a town way down in Dixie
Neath the stars above he was the sweetest man I ever did see
So he took me in his arms and told me of my many charms
He kissed me while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright as he held my hand that night
And I heard him say please don't ever go away
So he held me in his arms and told me of my many charms
He kissed me while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat
[ guitar - piano ] All the world was bright as he held my hand that night...

TENNESSEE WALTZ

(Pee Wee King - Redd Stewart) « © '48 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced her to my loved one and while they were waltzing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
[ piano - steel ] I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz...

MY HAPPINESS

(Betty Peterson - Barney Bergantine) « © '57 Happiness Music, ASCAP »
(My happiness)
Evening shadows make me blue when each weary day is through
How I long to be with you my happiness
Ev'ryday I reminisce dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I missed my happiness

A million years it seems have gone by since we've shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again there'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are grey or blue anyplace on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you my happiness

A million years it seems have gone by since we've shared our dreams...
