Company's Comin'

Johnny Mullins

© Budde Songs, BMI

Oh mama I'm excited I'm almost out of breath
When I saw the light that made me run myself to death
I was on the mountain side when I looked down below
And glory be I thought I'd better come and let you know

That we've got company comin' company's comin'
We've got company comin' up the road
They're comin' up the mountain side Susie don't you run and hide
There's company comin' up the road
[ instrumental ]
Well run out to the henhouse and wring a neck or two
We'll have chicken and dumplings and some yellow gravy too
Grandpa get your fiddle down they might want a tune
Everybody hurry cause them folks'll be here soon

Oh we've got company comin'...
[ instrumental ]
Oh we've got company comin'...

I've Enjoyed As Much Of This As I Can Stand

Bill Anderson

I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand

You look lovelier tonight than I remember
I'm so glad I got to see you once again
I've enjoyed just sitting down and reminiscing
But I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand
So you say you're happy now you've found a new love
Tell him I said he's a lucky lucky man
No I don't think I'll have time to see his picture
I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand

There's so much more between us than this table
All those years all those dreams all those plans
Guess you know without me saying I still love you
But I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand
[ instrumental ]
There's so much more between us...

Silver Threads And Golden Needles

Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds

© Central Songs, BMI

with Norma Jean

I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised beneath the halo'd moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating games

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
[ instrumental ]
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine...
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

I'll Take A Chance On Loving You

Buck Owens - Lucy Cole

© Central Songs, BMI

with Norma Jean

If you don't want to run around if you would really settle down
I'll take a chance on loving you
If you will be my very own if you'll be mine and mine alone
I'll take a chance on loving you

Now there's lots of pretty girls in this wide wide world
But none I've seen can hold a light to you
You're the cutest the sweetest the nicest and the neatest
And I'll tell you what I'm gonna do

If you don't want to run around if you would really settle down...
[ instrumental ]
Now did you really mean it or did I just dream it
When you said I was the one for you
Now don't make me regret it too late to forget it
The day that I fell in love with you

If you don't want to run around if you would really settle down...

What Would You Do (If Jesus Came To Your House)

Hugh Ashley - Lois Blanchard

© Budde Songs, BMI

What would you do what would you do if Jesus came to spend some time with you
If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two
If he came unexpectedly I wonder what you'd do
When you saw him comin' would you meet him at the door
With arms outstretched and welcome to your heavenly visitor
Or would you need to change some things before you let him in
Like burn some magazines and put the Bible where they'd been
Oh I know you'd give your nicest room to such an honored guest
And all the food that you'd serve to him would be the very best
And you'd keep assuring him that you was glad to have him there
That serving him in your home was a join beyond compare
But what about your family conversation would it keep up its normal pace
And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace
Would you be glad to have him stay forever on and on
Or would you sigh of great relief when finally he had gone
You know it might be interesting to know the things you'd do
If Jesus came in person to spend some time with you
What would you do what would you do if Jesus came to spend some time with you

Your Old Love Letters / I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name / One Way Ticket To The Blues

Johnny Bond - Lee Emerson - Jimmie Dallas

© Warden Music, 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 wrong 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 ]
You said goodbye to me this morning with only these words to explain
You said you've found someone you love better
But I still hear your voice call my name
I thought I heard you calling my name funny I still feel this way
Your voice seemed so close but I knew that by now you were many miles away
[ instrumental ]
Once I thought your love I'd win but your old flame showed up in town again
Now I know your love I'd lose I've got a one way ticket to the blues
I've got a one way ticket to a world that's filled with tears
All my dreams and hopes are gone we built up through the years
Seems I can't win I always lose I've got a one way ticket to the blues

A Satisfied Mind

Red Hayes - Jack Rhodes

© Starday Music, BMI

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was waiting in fortune and fame
Everything that I've dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it's happened I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
[ instrumental ]
When life has ended my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave them no doubt
But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

I Want To Live Again

Fuzzy Owen

© Owen Publications, BMI

with Norma Jean

We stopped living when our love died and I wanta live again
Our love grew cold a long time ago we both know love is gone
Yet we stay together we just keep hanging on
It's wrong to live together when our love has reached an end
We stopped living when our love died and I wanta live again

I wanna be kissed like I used to be
Thrilled like I used to be
Loved like I used to be I wanta live again

I wanna be kissed like I used to be...
[ instrumental ]
Each time we kiss we search for love that used to fill our hearts
But it's all wrong the thrill is gone we're just too far apart
We live a life of loneliness each day that we pretend
We stopped living when our love died and I wanta live again

I wanna be kissed like I used to be...

It Keeps Right On A Hurtin'

Johnny Tillotson

© Ridge Music, BMI

with Norma Jean

(It keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone)

I cry myself to sleep each night wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
The pillow where you lay your head now holds my lonely tears instead
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone

It keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone
[ instrumental ]
It keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day...

Family Bible

Paul Buskirk - Claude Gray - Walt Breeland

© Glad Music, BMI

There's a family Bible on the table
Its pages torn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table
Will ever be my key to memory

At the end of the day when work is over
And when the evening meal was done
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
And we'd count our many blessings one by one

I can see us sittin' round the table
When from the family Bible dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
[ instrumental ]
This old world of ours is full of trouble
This old world would also better be
If we had more Bibles on the tables
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me

I can see us sittin' round the table...
