HEY JOE

(Boudleaux Bryant) « © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Hey Joe someone stole your pearly girlie walked off with your jolly dolly
Maybe now you'll chance a dance with me
Hey Joe I feel mighty lovey dovey let me be your new patoody
I'll be just as sweet as sweet can be

Now Joe I know just how you feel since your fickle sweety left you for a heel
But if I could be your sweety pie I promise you no other guy
Could steal me from you

Hey Joe go put on your dancin' shoes and I'll help you forget your blues
I'll simply got to have you for my own
[ steel - fiddle ] Hey Joe please don't think I'm naughty naughty don't think I'm a flirty girly
Cause I let you know I go for you
Hey Joe my poor heart is yearnin' burnin' just to hold you tightly nightly
Do I need you yes I guess I do

I love you Joe that's how I feel if I have a chance I'll prove my love is real
I'll be true to you forever and I swear no one could ever
Hope to steal me from you

Hey Joe if you want me tell me so my heart is packed and set to go
I want you Joe I need you for my own

AMIGO'S GUITAR

(John D. Loudermilk - Roy Botkin - Kitty Wells) « © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Tonight they're singing in DeVilla tomorrow you'll be gone so far
Hold me close and say you love me while amigo plays his blue guitar

Aj aj aj aj the moon is lonely tomorrow I'll wonder where you are
Manana morning my darling I'll be blue as amigo's guitar
[ guitar ] They've hushed the singing in DeVilla all is quiet beneath the stars
Amigo plays Hasta Luego up on his lonely blue guitar

Aj aj aj aj the moon is lonely tomorrow I'll wonder where you are...

THREE WAYS (TO LOVE YOU)

(Julius Dixon - Eve Jay) « © '57 Unart Catalog, BMI »
There are three ways three ways
Three ways to love you it's true
One is the wrong way and one is the right way
But the best is the way I love you

One is the wrong way like some people do
They kiss and they lie and they'll never be true
But soon they will wonder why love flies away
And oh how they cry when they find out some day

There are three ways three ways...
[ fiddle ] One is the right way so some people say
With dining and dancing in some cabaret
Now some girls may think this is really ideal
But too late they find out their love isn't real

There are three ways three ways...
[ steel ] One is the best way the way I love you
With all of my heart and for all my life through
I'll cling to you only forget all the rest
I'll show you my darling that my way's the best

There are three ways three ways...

MOMMY FOR A DAY

(Harlan Howard - Buck Owens) « © '58 Unart Catalog, BMI »
I go to see my little girl each Sunday afternoon
And how I dread the words I know she'll say
She'll ask me when I'm coming home I'll answer pretty soon
But I know I'm just her mommy for a day

She's much too young to realize why mommy can't come home
And that her daddy wanted things this way
We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks to walk away alone
To have to be a mommy for a day
[ fiddle ] I love her dad with all my heart they lied and ruined our home
Oh why did he believe the things they'd say
I pray in time he'll change his mind and take me back once more
Then I'll not be a mommy for a day

She's much too young to realize why mommy can't come home...

MAN I USED TO KNOW

(Betty Sue Perry) « © '61 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You're asking my forgiveness you know you've done me wrong
You've torn our home to pieces and you've stayed away too long
There's been another woman but I still love you so
I never have forgotten the man I used to know

The man I used to know was kind and true
Sometimes I wondered was that same man you
But when you hold and kiss me and whisper words so low
My heart tells me you really are the man I used to know

I know I should forget you and find another one
But my heart knows forgetting is more easy said than done
I find I still remember these lips that thrilled me so
I guess I'll always love him the man I used to know

The man I used to know was kind and true...

YOUR WILD LIFE'S GONNA GET YOU DOWN

(Bob Gallion) « © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You don't care what kind of life you live you don't care for love I give
You honky tonk all over town and your wild life's gonna get you down

I've asked you time and time again not to treat me like you do
You've always been a run around now your wild life's gonna get you down
[ fiddle ] Although you've always been untrue I know I'll never love anew
You're not the one for me I found and your wild life's gonna get you down

You don't care no more for me darlin' that is plain to see
Someday I want to be around to see your wild life's get you down

LEFT TO RIGHT

(Lorene Mann) « © '58 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I'm taking your ring from my left hand
Since you made it plain we must part
But I'm placing it on my right hand
To show that I once possessed your heart

From left to right I'll make the chance
Though the diamond still shines just as bright
As the day when you gave it and my love's as strong
Though I'm changing from left to right
I'll wear it my darling forever
Though you done me wrong I'm not ashamed When asked who's the giver the tears will fall
But I'll proudly tell them your name

From left to right means goodbye
Oh what a small ring can do
So I'll take it from my left hand and place it on my right
To show that I still love you

REPENTING

(Gary Walker) « © '56 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Repenting yes I'm repenting
Those few careless hours that never should have been
I'm begging you to let me make amends

Repenting yes I'm repenting
I promise ne'er to do you wrong again

On my knees I'm asking your forgiveness
Please heed a humble heart laid at your feet
Too late I know a love like yours is different
It's all I need to make my life complete

Repenting yes I'm repenting
I'll never make the same mistakes again
[ fiddle ] On my knees I'm asking your forgiveness...

(I'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR) FRAULEIN

(Lawton Williams - Roy Botkin - Willis Jarvis) « © '56 Unart Catalog, BMI »
I'm that ole German's daughter far across deep blue water
I still live by the ole River Rhine
Where you loved me and told me that you love me only
You called me your pretty Fraulein

If there's a doubt in your mind I'm still your Fraulein
And each night as the moon starts to shine
Where you once held my hand I go there and stand
I'll always be your Fraulein
[ fiddle ] As the stars shine above me they tell me a story
Of our love that was so divine
As we walked by the river the two of us together
You called me your pretty Fraulein

If there's a doubt in your mind I'm still your Fraulein...

JEALOUSY

(Jim Anglin) « © '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Jealousy is there no cure
Your distrust hurts me darling that's for sure
Have faith in my love or set me free
You are driving me crazy with jealousy

Jealousy you must control
Your suspicious heart controls your life and soul
Don't you realize the shame it's causing me
Making me feel like a fool by jealousy
[ guitar - fiddle ] Jealous of the air I breathe
Don't be a fool your love I'd never deceived
It's you I love oh can't you see
That you're wrecking our lives with jealousy

Jealousy is there no cure...

I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I can't stop loving you so I made up my mind
To live in memories of ole lonesome time
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you so I made up my mind...

ALL THE TIME

(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker) « © '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
All the time yes darling all the time
Tenderly constantly I'll love you
Ev'ry day I'll prove it ev'ry day
In happiness or loneliness I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me don't let it worry you
For even when they tempt me I'll never be untrue
All the time yes darling all the time
Through the years smiles or tears I'll love you
[ steel - fiddle ] Other arms may tempt me don't let it worry you...
