Y'all Come

Arlie Duff

© Starday Music, BMI

When you live in the country ev'rybody is your neighbor
On this one thing you can rely
They'll all come to see you and never never leave you
Sayin' y'all come to see us by and by

Y'all come y'all come
Oh you all come to see us when you can
Y'all come y'all come
Oh you all come to see us now and then
[ instrumental ]
The kinfolks are comin' they're comin' by the dozen
Eatin' ev'rything from soup to hay
And right after dinner they ain't lookin' any thinner
And here's what you'll hear them say

Y'all come y'all come...
[ instrumental ]
Now grandma's a wishin' they'd come out to kitchen
And help her do the dishes right away
But they all start leavin' even though she's a grievin'
Well you can still hear grandma say

Y'all come y'all come...
(You all come to see us now and then)

Sorrow On The Rocks

Tony Moon

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Just pour me sorrow on the rocks bartender
Sorrow on the rocks will do
I'm tryin' to drown my troubles
So make it a double mhm mhm mhm

The seat of my pants is slick from my barstool
And my hand's in the shape of a glass
My eyes look like a roadmap of Georgia
And it's a shame I've lost my class

One broken heart can do strange things
To a fellow who can't take pain
But in this hundred proof condition I'm in
No position to take her back again

So pour me sorrow on the rocks bartender...

Looks like the hair on my head ain't never met a comb
And my face is a bearded mess
My hand shakes slightly and I have to walk lightly
Or I'll weave from right to left

The music on the jukebox don't mean a thing
Cause I'm too far gone for a song
I sure feel bad cause my baby ain't here
And I'm sorry that I done her wrong

So pour me sorrow on the rocks bartender...
So pour me sorrow on the rocks bartender...

Misery Loves Company

Jerry Reed Hubbard

© Lowery Music, BMI

So break out the bottle bring on the crowd
Just gather round me cause misery loves company

I've just left my home friends where I couldn't sleep
For missin' a woman that I couldn't keep
She just walked out and left me for somebody else
Now her memory keeps hauntin' me when I'm by myself

So break out the bottle bring on the crowd
Tell funny stories turn the jukebox up loud
Come on sit at my table where the drinks are on me
Yes gather round me cause misery loves company

Now I'm not the first one who's lost everything
To a false hearted woman with a false hearted dream
But this is the first time I've suffered myself
Help me get over this love I'll handle the next love all by myself

So break out the bottle bring on the crowd...

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

Bill Anderson

© Moss-Rose Pub, BMI

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 than this table...

Green Green Grass Of Home

Curly Putman

© Tree Pub, BMI

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
And down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes they've all come to meet me
Arms arreached and smilin' sweetly
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me
At these cold grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
When again I'll touch the green green grass of home

They'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home

Company's Comin'

Johnny Mullins

© Budde Songs, BMI

Oh mama I'm excited I'm almost out of breath
What 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

We got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road
They're down the road about a mile they'll be here in a little while
There's company comin' up the road
[ instrumental ]
Well Granny change your apron and Willie shine your shoes
Sally put your new dress on we got no time to lose
I'll go find a welcome mat and spread it out with cheer
I don't know yet just who they are can't pick 'em out from here

But we got company comin' company comin' we 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 ]
We'll 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 will be here soon

We got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road
Let them all shout out aloud they'll be here in a minute now
There's company comin' down the road
[ instrumental ]
Oh we got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road
Let them all shout out aloud they'll be here in a minute now
There's company comin' down the road

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 wadin' in fortune and fame
Ev'rything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it's happened I lost ev'ry dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
[ instrumental ]
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When life has ended my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt
But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this ol' world with a satisfied mind

Dooley

Rodney Dillard - Mitchell Jayne

© Winston Music, ASCAP

Dooley was a good old man he lived below the mill
Dooley had two daughters and a forty gallon still
One gal watched the boiler the other watched the spout
Mama corked the bottles and old Dooley fetched them out

Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley tryin' to make a dollar
Dooley give me a swallow and I'll pay you back some day

The revenuers came for him a slippin' through the wood
Dooley kept behind them all and never lost his good
Dooley was a trader when into town he'd come
Sugar by the bushel and molasses by the tons

Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley tryin' to make a dollar...
[ instrumental ]
I remember very well the day old Dooley died
The woman folk felt sorry and the men stood around and cried
Now Dooley's on the mountain he lies there all alone
They put a jug beside him and a barrel for a stone

Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley tryin' to make a dollar...
Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley tryin' to make a dollar...

I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name

Lee Emerson

© Golden West Melodies, BMI

I said goodbye to you this mornin'
With only these words to explain
I said I've found someone I love better
But I still hear your voice call my name

I thought I heard you callin' 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 ]
I walk through the streets of the city
People passin' by think it's so strange
I'm talking but there's no one beside me
I thought I heard you calling my name

I thought I heard you callin' my name...

Uncle Pen

Bill Monroe

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

Oh the people would come from far away
They'd dance all night till the break of day
When they'd call and holler do-se-do
We knew Uncle Pen was ready to go

Late in the evenin' about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh how it could ring
You could hear it talk you could hear it sing
[ instrumental ]
Well he played an ole tune called Soldier's Joy
And the one they called Boston Boy
And the greatest of all was Ginny Lynn
To me that's where fiddlin' begin

Late in the evenin' about sundown...
[ instrumental ]
I'll never forget that mournful day
When Uncle Pen was called away
They hang up his fiddle they hang up his bow
They know it was time for him to go

Late in the evenin' about sundown...

Skid Row Joe

Freddie Hart

© Warden Music, BMI

Skid Row Joe

Last night that's who I found in the dirty part of town
Lost forgotten with no place to go
Tormented with a bitter taste outcast by the human race
A mask of torture was the face of Skid Row Joe

He walked up to where I stood on the street
Said pardon me Mister now don't get me wrong I don't want your money
Though heaven knows I could use it
But you see this is my home and you see the other bar down the street
Well that's my home too
I noticed you starin' at me a while ago you recognized me didn't ya
I said yeah Joe I know who you are
You was one time a real famous singing star one of my favorites
He said well I guess you heard they took my babies away from me
I said yeah Joe I read about it in the papers
Then he turned his head away and I saw the tears fall in the place
And he turned to me and he said you know Mister
This is the only place in the world that I'm not ashamed to show my face
But I'm gonna quit yes sir I'm gonna quit
And I'm gonna shave and comb my hair and me a clean white shirt
Then I'm gonna walk up to her door
When she answers I'm gonna stand up real proud and tall
Then I'm gonna get on my knees
Then I'll say sweetheart if you'll take me back
I'll spend the rest of my life makin' up to you for what I've done
I'm so ashamed of myself and this I want you to know
Then I'm gonna take my two little babies and I'm gonna hold 'em so close to me
I ain't gonna never let 'em go

I guess I should've told him then that she'd already remarried again
But after hearin' what he'd said to me
Why there wasn't no way I could add to his misery
So I said good luck my best to you Skid Row Joe

I'll Go Down Swinging

Bill Anderson

© Moss-Rose Pub, BMI

I'm sitting at the table where we used to sit
Thinkin' of love I knew would never last
Thought I heard the band start playin' our favorite song
But it's only lonely mem'ries from the past

I'm all alone tonight seein' visions of you
I wish I knew how long this pain will last
I know I'll soon be leavin' and I hope I will forget
All these lonely lonely mem'ries from the past
[ instrumental ]
The dance floor now is empty as I sit here all alone
And the time seems to go so very fast
I thought I heard you whisper I love you oh so much
But it's only lonely mem'ries from the past

So I'm all alone tonight seeing visions of you...
