FOUR WALLS

(George Campbell - Marvin Moore) « © '57 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Out where the bright lights are glowing
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing
While I sit and whisper your name

Four walls to hear me four walls to see
Four walls too near me closing in on me

Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
But my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love not for hating
So here where you left me I'll stay

One night with you is like heaven
And so while I'm walking the floor
I listen for steps in the hallway
And wait for your knock on my door

Four walls to hear me four walls to see...
Closing in on me

BILLY BAYOU

(Roger Miller) « © '58 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Back about eighteen hundred and some
A Louisiana couple had a red headed son
No name suited him Jim Jack or Joe
They just called him Billy Bayou

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go
You're walkin' on quick sand walk slow
Billy Billy Bayou watch what you say
A pretty girl'll a get you one of these days
[ guitar ] Billy was a boy kinda big for his size
Red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
Thirteen years from the day he was born
Bill fought the battle of the Little Big Horn

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go...
[ guitar ] One sad day Billy cried hoho
I can whip the feathers of Geronimo
He smarted off the chief got mad
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go...
[ guitar ] One day in 1878
A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to stand there or run
He wound up married cause he did neithter one

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go...
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

IS IT REALLY OVER

(Jim Reeves) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Is it really over is thist the end of the line
Don't tell me I'm losing the love that was mine
If you're really leaving take some part of me
So I'll always remember how sweet love used to be

I wonder who's stepping into my shoes who can she be
I can tell by your eyes our love has died and it's over for me
[ guitar ] I wonder who's stepping into my shoes...
Really over for me

I'M GONNA CHANGE EVERYTHING

(Alex Zanetis) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm gonna start with the walls take the pictures off the walls and burn 'em
Move the chairs around take the window curtains down and burn 'em
Ev'rything I see reminds me you were here
Yeah I'm gonna change ev'rything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah

The candelabera set you gave me on the night of my birthday
The records that you bought the hi-fi we loved to play
The decorating man will come and rearrange them
Yeah I'm gonna change ev'rything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah

Take the carpet off the floor throw it out the door it's filled with tears
Ev'rything I find that brings you to my mind must disappear
Ev'ry night I dream I'll dream of someone new
Yeah I'm gonna change ev'rything that holds a mem'ry of you
Yeah I'm gonna change ev'rything that holds a mem'ry of you

I WON'T FORGET YOU

(Harlan Howard) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I know that I won't forget you
For I've loved you too much for too long
Though you don't want me now I'll still love you
Till the breath in my body is gone

That's how it is with me and you'll always be
The only love I ever knew
I'll forget many things in my lifetime
But my darling I won't forget you
[ steel ] That's how it is with me...

SHE'LL HAVE TO GO

(Joe Allison - Audrey Allison) « © '59 Central Songs, BMI »
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you she'll have to go

Whisper to me tell me do you love me true or is she holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell her she'll have to go
You can't say the words I want to hear while you're with another friend
Do you want me answer yes or no darling I will understand

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone...

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

BIMBO

(Rod Morris) « © '53 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Bimbo Bimbo where ya gonna go-e-o
Bimbo Bimbo whatcha gonna do-e-o
Bimbo Bimbo does your mommy know
That you're goin' down the road to see a little girl-e-o

Bimbo is a little boy who's got a million friends
And ev'ry time he passes by they all invite him in
He'll clap his hands and sing and dance and talk his baby talk
With a hole in his pants and his knees stickin' out he's just big enough to walk

Bimbo Bimbo where ya gonna go-e-o...
[ guitar ] Bimbo's got two big blue eyes that light up like a star
And the way to light them up is to buy him candy bars
Cracker jacks and bubble gum will start his day off right
All the girlies follow him just to beg him for a bite

Bimbo Bimbo candy on your face-e-o
Bimbo Bimbo chewin' on your gum-e-o
Bimbo Bimbo when you gonna grow ev'rybody loves you little baby Bimbo
[ steel ] You never catch him sittin' still he's just the rovin' kind
Although he's just a little boy he's got a grown up mind
He's always got a shaggy dog a pullin' at his clothes
And ev'rybody calls to him as down the street he goes

Bimbo Bimbo where ya gonna go-e-o...

AM I LOSING YOU

(Jim Reeves) « © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Am I losing you are my fears coming true
How I wish I knew am I losing you
Is your love really true is there somebody new
Tell me what to do am I losing you

Am I too blind to see what's been happening to me
Ev'ry road has a bend will I be sweetheart or friend
Will the sweet things you do be for somebody new
Tell me what to do am I losing you

Am I too blind to see what's been happening to me...

ACCORDING TO MY HEART

(Gary Walker) « © '55 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
According to my heart you're the one for me
The one love of my life is here when you're with me
If someone stole your love my heart would beat no more
For you're the one my heart is always longing for

Though I don't know the reason why my dreams don't turn out right
Still I'll keep listening to my heart who knows someday they might
For according to my heart the future will be bright
And ev'ry day I pray that my heart knows what's right
[ steel ] Though I don't know the reason why my dreams don't turn out right...
And ev'ry day I pray that my heart knows what's right

GUILTY

(Alex Zanetis) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've been accused convicted and condemned
The trial's over and now I face the end
Is this your way of telling me we're through
When all I'm guilty of is loving you

You were the judge the jury all in one
You found me guilty and now my term's begun
I must confess I've never been untrue
And all I'm guilty of is loving you

Loving you and now I'm losing you
Losing you for things I didn't do
Please let your heart consider an appeal
For now you know exactly how I feel

Don't punish me for things I didn't do
When all I'm guilty of is loving you
Yes all I'm guilty of is loving you

THIS IS IT

(Cindy Walker) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well this is it that day is here
The day I knew would come when you would leave me dear
Well here I sit while teardrops fall
And wondered why I care when you don't care at all

But I'm a fool that way from a way back when
A fool who'd take you back if you'd come back again
But this is it you're gone you're free
You'll find another love but this is it for me

Well this is it that day is here
It's no surprise and yet I can't hold back the tears
Well here I sit and try to guess
How such an empty room's so full of loneliness

Well even the clock has stopped somehow I guess it knew
That time's run out for me it's over it's all through
Yes this is it you're gone you're free
You'll find another love but this is it for me
