OH LONESOME ME

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Ev'rybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how he set me free
Oh lonesome me

A sad mistake I'm makin' by just hangin' round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see
Oh lonesome me

I'll bet he's not like me he's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the girls with all his charm
But I still love him so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome him right back here in my arms

There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of ev'rything from A to Z
Oh lonesome me
[ guitar ] I'll bet he's not like me he's out and fancy free...
There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues...
Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me

THING CALLED SADNESS

(Harlan Howard) « © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
It's been here since you've been gone
It's been hangin' round too long
A thing called sadness not much of a friend
When you walked out it walked in

In ev'ry chair where I sit down
It follows me all over town
A thing called sadness not much of a friend
When you walked out it walked in

What in the world am I gonna do
This old friend can't take the place of you
It only brings back mem'ries of you
And all the things that we used to do

In ev'ry chair where I sit down...

BLUES ARE SETTIN' IN

(Bill Phillips) « © '65 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Lonely nights and blues are settin' in
Can't go on not knowin' where I stand
While you were here things were so sweet
And you made my life complete
But now you're gone my blues are settin' in

Kiss me once then I'll go away
Darlin' I won't like it but I'll stay
From now on things won't be sweet
You're not here to make my life complete
Lonely nights and blues are settin' in

Lonely because you never did me right
Blue because I was such a fool

Kiss me once and I'll go away...
[ steel ] Lonely because you never did me right...
Lonely nights and blues are settin' in

WHEN YOUR LITTLE HIGH HORSE RUNS DOWN

(Roy Botkin) « © '65 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
You got on a little high horse and you said that this was it
You jumped right up and said goodbye and out the door you went
Well you're teed off at me now but you'll soon cool down
I know that you'll be comin' back when your little high horse runs down

I'm not gonna worry because you're gone I know that you won't stay
For the little high horse that you're on now will soon fade away
And just as soon as you cool off you'll be back around
I know that you'll be comin' back when your little high horse cools down
[ guitar ] I know that it won't be long till you try to call
But I'm gonna let the phone ring till it rings off the wall
I'll make you think that I've stepped out and that I'm not around
I know that you'll be comin' back when your little high horse runs down

I'm not gonna worry because you're gone I know that you won't stay...

YOU'RE THE ONLY WORLD I KNOW

(Bob Tubert - Sonny James) « © '64 Morrison Music, BMI »
You're the only world I know
You're the one I can't let go
You're my laughter and my tears
And I'll love you all my years

You're the beating of my heart
You're my thoughts when we're apart
You're the one I can't let go
You're the only only world I know
[ piano - steel ] You're my nighttime and my day
You're my one love all the way
You're the one I can't let go
You're the only only world I know

LOVING YOU THEN LOSING YOU

(Wayne P. Walker - Max Powell) « © '65 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Loving you then losing you is more than I can stand

I knew we'd have some problem cause love's a crazy game
And loving you then losing you is driving me insane
Don't say that I'll forget you should you leave me behind
Cause loving you then losing you will make me lose my mind

I've spent so many nights alone more than I thought I could
But each time you come back to me just like a good man should
So don't tell me it's over our love is no mistake
Cause loving you then losing you is more than I can take
[ steel ] I've spent so many nights alone more than I thought I could...
Loving you then losing you is more than I can take

LEAVIN' TOWN TONIGHT

(Jim Anglin) « © '65 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Leavin' leavin' on that midnight train
I took all that I can take you're drivin' me insane
I try to please you but nothing turns out right
I'll buy a oneway ticket I'm leavin' town tonight

Leavin' you behind there's nothin' left to do
You've had your chance now our love is through
I'm glad to know there's no more fuss and fight
You're wasting tears darlin' I'm leavin' town tonight

Leavin' leavin' on that midnight train...
[ steel - guitar ] No need in makin' promises you've never kept before
I made myself believe them but never anymore
All the love in the world wouldn't make you do right
Here comes that midnight special I'm leavin' town tonight

Leavin' leavin' on that midnight train...
I'm leavin' town tonight

DEAR HEART

(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans - Henry Mancini) « © '65 Northridge Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night
My dear heart seems like a year since you've been out of my sight
A single room a table for one it's a lonesome town alright

But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know I'll leave your arms never more
[ steel ] But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door...

RACE IS ON

(Don Rollins) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI / Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
I feel tears wellin' up from deep inside like my heart's gonna break
And the stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake
You might say that I was takin' it hard since you gave me the final goodbye
But don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow I may break right down and cry

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the runnin' true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all
[ steel ] One day I ventured in love never once suspectin' what the final results would be
How I lived in fear of wakin' up each mornin' findin' that you'd gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart for the name of the one that I'll never replace
Somebody new came up to win him I came out in second place

Now the race is on comes pride up the backstretch...

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

(Ray Winkler - John Hathcock) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Welcome to my world won't you come on in
Miracles I guess still happen now and then
Step into my heart leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world built with you in mind

Knock and the door will open seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given the key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here with my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you welcome to my world
[ steel ] Waiting just for you welcome to my world

WATCH IT HEART DON'T FALL

(Roy Botkin) « © '65 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Come here heart and let me talk to you
Before you up and fall for someone new
It's alright to go on out and have yourself a ball
But watch it heart don't fall

It's a long way for one to drop
It's not the fall that hurts it's that sudden stop
You got fooled once before as you recall
So watch it heart don't fall
[ steel ] If you meet somebody who says they love you
Make sure the things they're tellin' you heart is true
You can trust some but you can't trust them all
So watch it heart don't fall

It's a long way for one to drop...
So watch it heart don't fall

CHEATING IS CATCHING

(Kitty Wells - Ira Louvin) « © '65 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Cheating is catching and you'll get caught ev'ry time

Ev'ry time you steal a kiss your conscience tells you this has the end
But if you're the cheating kind you'll do it again and again
For the thief always returns to the scene of the crime
Cheating is catching and you'll get caught ev'ry time

Your sins will find you out life was meant to be that way
The price for breaking love's vows is mighty great
Some day your luck will change and too late you will find
Cheating is catching and you'll get caught ev'ry time
[ steel ] You break a heart and kill a soul and for awhile you get away
But the law of average soon will catch you for crime don't pay
And there's no turning back at the end of the line
Cheating is catching and you'll get caught ev'ry time
Yes cheating is catching and you'll get caught ev'ry time
