Your Old Love Letters

Johnny Bond

© Red River Songs, BMI

Today I burned your old love letters
I burned them slowly one by one
Before I'd light the flame I'd read them
To try and find the wrongs I done

The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one broke my heart in two
And all alone I left you weeping
For the ashes of your letters tied in blue
[ instrumental ]
As I burned your old love letters
I watched my dreams go up in smoke
I lived again those precious mem'ries
I heard each tender word you spoke

The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one said that we were through
Our love is there among the embers
In the ashes of your letters tied in blue

Tryin' To Forget The Blues

Boudleaux Bryant

© House Of Bryant, BMI

I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues
They're playin' lonely music on the jukebox
The song they're singin' makes me wanna cry
Cause it reminds that you've gone and left me
I feel a teardrop comin' to my eyes
I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues

I see two lovers laughin' in a corner
They're in the booth I used to share with you
He looks at her like she was straight from heaven
The very way I used to look at you
I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues
[ instrumental ]
The tear that's in my eye is gettin' bigger
I guess I'll have to go on home and hide
No want my friends to know how much you've hurt me
No want to show them how I feel inside
I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues

Pay Day

Tomorrow be payday tomorrow be payday
It's gonna be payday in Lowcane gonna take my money to town
I worked like a donkey climbed trees like a monkey
It's gonna be payday in Lowcane gonna chase all women around

Eat black eyed peas and fried banana smoke big cigar from Havana
I'll be king of Louisiana son of a gun
I'll find me a sweet little honey we'll make love till it ain't funny
Have big time till all of my money's gone
Tomorrow be payday tomorrow be payday
It's gonna be payday in Lowcane gonna take my money to town
Gonna chase all women around
[ instrumental ]
Eat black eyed peas and fried banana smoke big cigar from Havana...
Gonna take my money to town gonna chase all women around

I Should Be With You

Pete Stamper - Werth Becker

© Warden Music, BMI

Last night I met an old love and just to pass the time
We did some other things we used to do
But as I held her in my arms this thought ran through my mind
Oh I should be with you

I held her close but that old thrill I used to know was gone
I kissed her lips and then I knew why everything was wrong
I couldn't win my conscience this thought kept coming through
Oh I should be with you
[ instrumental ]
I held her close but that old thrill I used to know was gone...

Heartbreak Affair

Kay Adams

© Warden Music, BMI

Glad that we're through I keep telling myself
But this was a heartbreak affair
Now that you're gone I've got time on my hands
To sit around and think about you

Wish it hadn't happened wish it was a dream
But I sit here a crying and I know I'm not asleep
Glad that we're through I keep telling myself
But this was a heartbreak affair

Wish it hadn't happened wish it was a dream...

Out Of Sight Out Of Mind

Marijohn Wilkin - Mary Ingraham

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Love left behind is forgotten as a new way of life fills your mind
You left me and went to the city each letter from you is overdue
New friends and new sights in the city must have taken my place with you

Out of sight out of mind
That's the story as old as the pages of time
Love left behind is forgotten
As a new way of life fills your mind

The same stars that shine down upon me
May be shining on you somewhere tonight
Unless the bright lights of the city
Have blooded their luster from your side

Out of sight out of mind...

Seeing Her Only Reminded Me Of You

Pete Stamper - Bobby Lord

© Budde Songs, BMI

Seeing you only reminded me of you

A girl walked by don't know her name
Caught my eye but I'm not to blame
Seeing you only reminded me of you
Carried me back to old memories
Carried me back to what used to be
Seeing you only reminded me of you

I went to my room oh how I cried
Found memories that I thought that id died
Seeing you only reminded me of you
[ instrumental ]
I went to my room oh how I cried
Found memories that I thought that id died
Seeing you only reminded me of you

A girl walked by don't know her name...

Haven't You Heard

Dale Siegenthaler

© Warden Music, BMI

Haven't you heard there's a new love for me
Haven't you heard you're just my used to be
She held out her hand said haven't you heard
I saw gold wedding band I was lost forward
I wanted to cry I wanted to die
When she said these words (oh haven't you heard)
[ instrumental ]
Haven't you heard there's a new love for me
Haven't you heard you're just my used to be
She pulled back her hand I wanted to cry
It was all I could stand to see her wavin' goodbye
I wanted to cry I wanted to die
When she said these words (oh haven't you heard)
When she said these words oh haven't you heard
