ONE BY ONE

(Johnny Wright - Jack Anglin - Jim Anglin) « © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
[ Kitty & Red ]
One by one we broke each vow we made
It was you who lied it was me who paid
As sure's there's a heaven beyond the sun
We'll pay for our lies one by one

My plans and hopes have tumbled down
My castle of dreams plunged to the ground
How can you face me after what you've done
You shattered my dreams one by one

One by one we broke each vow we made...
[ steel ] How can you go to sleep at night
Don't ole mem'ries make you long for daylight
You'll pay the price after havin' your fun
You'll regret each mistake one by one

The love I treasured you sold for gold
For wordly goods you left me cold
You're happy now but the time will come
Your false loves will leave you one by one

One by one you broke each vow we made...

JUST CALL ME LONESOME

(Rex Griffin) « © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
[ Red Foley ]
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 the 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 feel so lonely I could die
What good is life when hope 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

AS LONG AS I LIVE

(Roy Acuff) « © '54 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
[ Kitty & Red ]
As long as I live if it be one hour
Or if it be one hundred years
I'll keep rememberin' forever and ever
I'll love you dear as long as I live

It was easy said that night we parted
That we'd forget we'd ever met
I haven't forgotten I wonder if you have
Or if your heart is full of regret

As long as I live if it be one hour...
[ steel ] I never thought that night we parted
That life without you would be this bad
It may sound funny but I can't forget you
The only happiness I've ever had

As long as I live if it be one hour...

WEDDING RING AGO

(Claude King - Tillman Franks) « © '52 Unichappell Music, BMI »
[ Kitty Wells ]
You say that I was all to blame that's untrue because you know
I gave my heart and soul to you a million tears ago
But you were satisfied at least you told me so ho-ho
That was just a wedding ring ago

I couldn't offer much to you just a promise to bring you joy
And I was much too young to see you used me like a toy
Then one day a stranger came her name I did not know ho-ho
That was just a wedding ring ago
[ steel ] She was a millionaire it was what you wanted you thought
But much too late you realized happiness could not be bought
You left her now you want me back but another's love I know ho-ho
I made him mine a wedding ring ago

MAKE BELIEVE (TILL WE CAN MAKE IT COME TRUE)

(Billy Walker - Jerry Hamilton) « © '54 Budde Songs, BMI »
[ Kitty & Red ]
Make believe that we're happy (make believe that we're happy)
Just pretend that it's true (just pretend that it's true)
Make believe you have me I'll make believe I have you
We'll make believe till we can make it come true

You belong to another (you belong to another)
I belong to someone too (I belong to someone too)
But they can't seem to see that our love just has to be
We'll make believe till we can make it come true
[ fiddle - steel ] Maybe someday up above (maybe someday up above)
We'll understand our kind of love (we'll understand our kind of love)
We know a love like ours is real (I know just the way you feel)
We'll make believe till we can make it come true

Make believe that we're happy...

CANDY KISSES

(George Morgan) « © '48 Unichappell Music, BMI »
[ Red Foley ]
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than any of mine
Candy kisses wrapped in paper you'd rather have them any ole time
You don't mean it when you whisper those sweet love words in my ear
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than mine do dear
[ steel - guitar ] I built a castle out of dreams dear I thought that you were building one too
Now my castles all have fallen and I am left alone and blue
Once my heart was filled with gladness now there's sadness only tears
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than mine do dear

YOU AND ME

(Johnny Wright - Jack Anglin - Jim Anglin) « © '54 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
[ Kitty & Red ]
You and me together life's a pleasure
But without your love I'd want to flee
And I feel the same about you darlin'
We belong together you and me

We'll share love's joy and life's sorrow
You belong to me I belong to you
When you hold my hand the sun shines brighter
When you smile at me I lose my blues

You and me together life's a pleasure...
[ steel ] Don't ever let nothin' come between us
Think how lonely life apart would be
Gossiping tongue can never change me darling
Your love means more than life to me

You and me together life's a pleasure...

MEMORY OF A LOVE

(Bill Phillips) « © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
[ Kitty Wells ]
Just a mem'ry of a love I left behind
I'm a fool seems I lose ev'rytime
For the future that I once held in my arms
Is fading fast now the loneliness will come

You can cheat but I'll still care about you
But if you cheat you'll hurt your love then you'll be blue

Just a mem'ry of the love I left behind...
[ steel ] You can cheat but I'll still care about you...
Just a mem'ry of a love I left behind...

I'M A STRANGER IN MY HOME

(Pee Wee King - Redd Stewart - Neal Burris - Red Foley) « © '53 Ridgeway Music, BMI »
[ Kitty & Red ]
There's a stranger in my home that I've never known before
And I don't know why she's there she just walked in through the door
Why she stays and suffers so is something I will never know
She's a lonely soul this stranger in my home

I'm that stranger in my home I'm the one left in the cold
I'm no longer loved or wanted I don't have to be told
I can tell by the way that I'm treated day by day
That I am just a stranger in my home
[ steel ] Not so very long ago there were tender nights to live
We were happy in our home we had all that life could give
Then one day the quarrel came I don't know who was to blame
I only know that I'm a stranger in my home

I'm that stranger in my home I'm the one left in the cold...

Can a woman describe a heart that's been broken all apart
Can she face her children each day and go on the same ol' way
Can she brush aside the tears and go on and live the years a forgotten soul
Just a stranger in her own home
That I am just a stranger in my home

I'M THROWING RICE (AT THE GIRL I LOVE)

(Eddy Arnold - Steve Nelson - Ed Nelson) « © '49 Unichappell Music, BMI »
[ Red Foley ]
I'm throwin' rice at the girl that I love
After she just said I do
I'm throwin' rice with a smile on my lips
But my heart is breaking in two
She was my gal and he was my pal
But she loved him better somehow
I stepped aside after I kissed the bride
And I'm throwin' rice at her now
[ steel - organ - guitar ] I'm throwing rice at the girl that I love...

NO ONE BUT YOU

(Eddie Smith) « © '54 ATV Songs, BMI »
[ Kitty & Red ]
Now when I'm by myself dear who do I want near
You no one but you
Now when I want some lovin' some ole fashioned huggin'
It's you no one but you

You've got me talkin' my sleep sometimes even I can't eat
My heart don't beat the way it used to do
You've got me rockin' and reelin' honey I've got a funny feelin'
Over you no one but you
[ fiddle - guitar ] Now when I go to sleep at night I wonder if you're home alright
You I'm thinkin' of you
Now you're my only baby and you're driving me crazy
It's you I'm thinkin' of you

I hope the time's not far away we can plan our wedding day
And then I'll have you for my very own
I'm not tryin' to be hasty but maybe someday baby
I'll have you no one but you

I'M COUNTING ON YOU

(Don Robertson) « © '56 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
[ Kitty Wells ] All the words that I'll ever know still could not say
How much I need you so in ev'ry way
I go wrong and you'll guide me as only you can do
Hold my hand stand beside me I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you dear from the dawn of each day
To always come through dear in your kind lovin' way
If you knew just how deeply I feel the things you do
Then you'd know how completely I'm counting on you
[ fiddle - steel ] I'm counting on you dear from the dawn of each day...
