YELLOW BANDANA
(Steve Karliski - Larry Kolber - Al Gordoni)
« © '63 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
This is the story of the Yellow Bandana
A handsome young soldier and the girl named Rosana
Oh way down west in the winds on New Mexico
There lived a girl and the soldier who loved her so
And every night neath the full crimson moon above
This brave young soldier would pledge her his love
And he gave Rosana his yellow bandana
To wear in her hair till he's with her once more
He gave Rosana his yellow bandana
Mounted his pony and rode off to war
His orders came and he had to ride west again
Seems that Apaches were causing unrest again
He kissed Rosana goodbye as he rode away
Promising this time he'd come back to stay
And he gave Rosana...
That war was over and he came back home and found
That the Apaches had burned the whole village down
And neath the tree where he'd last kissed Rosana
Gripped on the cross was his yellow bandana
And he gave Rosana...
He gave Rosana...

WE'VE GOT SOMETHING IN COMMON
(Jan Crutchfield)
« © '63 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
We've got something in common oh Mr Carpet on the floor
Oh we both get stepped on each time she walks out the door
And it's true that neither one of us can leave
And we've got something in common you and me
We've got something window shades now ain't that right
For each time that she's out well we both stay up all night
And my love affair is up and down you see
And we've got something in common you and me
She's out again tonight oh Mr Bottle friend of mine
Here I am and there you are together one more time
We've got something in common dusty chair that I sit in
Since we both get the brush off that makes you a special friend
We're so close and that's how it should be
And we've got something in common you and me
[ ac.guitar ]
We're so close and that's how it should be
And we've got something in common you and me

I'VE COME TO SAY GOODBYE
(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)
« © '63 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
I haven't come to please like all the times before
The arms I used to need can't hold me anymore
I haven't come to blame I do even ask you why
This time it's not the same I've come to say goodbye
No begging on my knees like all the times before
Are just the memories I'm leaving at your door
Don't ask me to explain so I won't have to lie
I've gotta go away and I've come to say goodbye
No begging on my knees...
Yes I've just gotta go away and I've come to say goodbye

I MISS YOU ALREADY
(Marvin Rainwater - Faron Young)
« © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Oh I miss you already and you're not even gone
The time has come you're telling me goodbye
And I know I can't stop you if I try
I've had too many chances now I'll have to set you free
I watch you go too late I know how much you mean to me
Yes I miss you already don't know how I'll go on
I miss you already and you're not even gone
[ piano ]
So kiss me once again and please don't cry
And I'll promise there'll be no more alibis
I'll have to find myself a way to face this loneliness
I watch you go too late I know I've lost my happiness
Yes I miss you already...

(Joe Allison)

I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Don't want slow walkin' or sad singin' let 'em have a jubilee
I wanna leave a lot of happy women a thinking pretty thoughts of me
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Well you may not approve of the things I do but it really don't bother me
So don't ever think you can tie me down I'm gonna stay footloose fancy free
Jump back make tracks move out and let the pretty gals at me
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
[ steel - guitar ]
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I'm a wampus cat let me grab my hat and baby come along with me
We're gonna do some fancy stepping we're really goin' on a spree
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Well you may not approve...

JUST OUT OF REACH
(Virgil F. Stewart)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Love that runs away from me dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering me chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Each night in dreams I see your face memories time can't erase
Then I awake and find you gone I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
If you need me I'll be near I'll be faithful never fear
I'll think of you both night and day so close and yet so far away
I pray the Lord to keep you from all harm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
That lonesome feeling all the time knowing you cannot be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep vows that we could never keep
Too far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

(Ted Daffan)
« © '54 Peer International, BMI »
Well I've been working hard the whole week long
And I'm a gonna have some wine women and song
I gotta workin' each week but that's alright
I've got five dollars and it's Saturday night
Music and dancing drinking and fun
It's gonna go on till way past one
I'm a gonna go where the lights're bright
I've got five dollars and it's Saturday night
Gonna get right tonight gonna have fun tonight
Everything will be alright cause tonight is Saturday night (hey)
While other folks are wonderin' what the future may bring
I'm a gonna have fun and feel no pain
My pants are ragged but that's alright
I've got five dollars and it's Saturday night
[ steel - guitar ]
Gonna get right tonight...

SWEET DREAMS
(Don Gibson)
« © '55 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Sweet dreams of you dreams I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
[ steel - piano ]
Sweet dreams of you...

PLACE FOR GIRLS LIKE YOU
(Red Hayes - Sonny Burns)
« © '54 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Fate has planned a place for girls like you that torture guys like me
And the time for all bad things to end will surely come you'll see
The world will turn its back on those who never can be true
And you'll find out that fate has planned a place for girls like you
Well I tried so hard to be the way you wanted me to be
To give you things you wanted most but still we disagree
Each time I try to change my life to fit the way you live
I find that you just made new plans for more than I can give
Fate has planned a place for girls...
