Goodbye Wheeling

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Well I've been reeling around Wheeling
West Virginia just a little too long
Well I gotta be leaving cause one deceiving
Free wheeling woman done me wrong

And it's goodbye Wheeling West Virginia
No I don't guess I'll settle down
Since she don't need me Lord I can't see me
Any longer hanging round this old town

Cause I've got a feeling that I've been concealing
Many thoughts about traveling on
Cause things ain't grooving so I'd better be a moving
When you wake up in the morning
Big Wheeling I'm gonna be gone gone gone
[ instrumental ]
Well it's goodbye Wheeling West Virginia...
Cause I've got a feeling that I've been concealing...

Goodbye Wheeling I said goodbye Wheeling
Bye bye so long oh goodbye Wheeling

All The Time

Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

All the time yes darling all the time
Tenderly constantly I'll love you
Every day I'll prove it every day
In happiness or loneliness I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me
But don't let that worry you
For even when they tempt me
I'll never be untrue
All the time yes darling all the time
Through the years smiles or tears I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me...

Poison Love

Elmer Laird

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

All your poison love has stained the life blood in my heart and soul dear
And I know my life will never be the same
All my pleas and prayers have been in vain for you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of a shame

Into each life a love is born for one and one alone dear
The love I chose was surely not for me
All your poison love has stained the life blood in my heart and soul dear
And I know our love was never meant to be
[ instrumental ]
But still my heart cries out for you and you alone my darling
And fate will never ever let me go
All my pleas and prayers have been in vain for you and you alone dear
And my better judgement tells me to say no

At The Sight Of You

Dave Pittman - Johnny Darren

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I go all to pieces at the sight of of you

I tried to look the other way when you're around
But that takes more strength than can be found
I just get weak as memories pass through
I go all to pieces at the sight of of you

How could anyone control me so completely
And make me do the crazy things I do
Little things like forgiving you for being so untrue
I go all to pieces at the sight of of you
[ instrumental ]
You've hurt me so many times that I've lost track
Yet given half the chance I take you back
You're the master of my life and there's nothing I can do
I go all to pieces at the sight of of you
I go all to pieces at the sight of of you

My Ramblin' Boy

Tom Paxton - Bill Phillips - Gordon Terry

© Cherrz Lane Music, ASCAP

He was a man and a friend always
He stuck with me in the hard old days
He never cared if I had no dough
We rambled round in the rain and snow

And here's to you my ramblin' boy
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
And here's to you my ramblin' boy
May all your ramblin' bring you joy

In Tulsa town we chanced to straight
We thought we'd try to work one day
The boss said he had a room for one
Said my old pal we'd rather bum

And here's to you my ramblin' boy...
[ instrumental ]
Then late one night in a jungle camp
The weather it was cold and damp
And he got the chills and got them bad
They took the only friend I had

And here's to you my ramblin' boy...
May all your ramblin' bring you joy

Survival Of The Fittest

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Infant turtles racing to the sea
Seagulls screeching crying hungr'ly
Twisting kicking jerking in their craws
Oh wonder why God made these kind of laws

Preachers preaching loudly on the streets
While deaf and dumb men cannot hear or speak
Twisted legs can't chase a bouncing ball
Oh wonder why God made these kind of laws
[ guitar ]
Now the Carney's barking to the crowd let's go
While the Geek's a waitin' to do his sickenin' show
Freaks a standing round some fat some tall
Oh wonder why God made these kind of laws

Now Moses teaches us Thou shall not kill
Still cannons burst aloud on foreign hills
The strong will stand the weak will surely fall
Oh wonder why God made these kind of laws

Shine Shine Shine

Carl Perkins - Roger Sovine

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Well mama told me daddy cried
You've got more women than a man for your size
I said I had what it takes
A heart full of love a soul full of faith

Shine shine shine shine shine shine
Shine shine shine children shine shine shine

Well I've been up and I've been down
Guess I reckon I've been all around
I had a plan for a man I wanted to be
But a certain little woman made a change in me

Shine shine shine shine shine shine
Shine shine shine children shine shine shine
[ instrumental ]
I got money in the bank shoes on my feet
Good looking woman and man she's sweet
I love her and she loves me
And that's all it takes to let us be

Shine shine shine shine shine shine
Shine shine shine children shine shine shine

Well if everybody lived and thought like me
What a wonderful place this world would be
Walk around the block or country mile
And see happy people and watch them smile

Shine shine shine shine shine shine
Shine shine shine children shine shine shine

Shine shine shine shine shine shine
Shine shine shine children shine shine shine

Not Once But A Hundred Times

Bob Gallion - Earl Sinks

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

(No not once but a hundred times)

Last night I went out with someone new
Just to see if I was over you
No not once did you cross my mind
No not once but a hundred times

Foolish to think someone else would do
Have to taste the sweet love from you
So each day I'll have you on my mind
No not once but a hundred times

I took all her love and she gave her best
While I put my love for you to a test
And not once did you cross my mind
No not once but a hundred times

Foolish to think someone else would do...
No not once but a hundred times

Night Train To Memphis

Beasley Smith - Marvin Hughes - Owen Bradley

© Peer Int, BMI

Take that night train to Memphis
Take that night train to Memphis
And when you arrive at the station
I'll be right there to meet you
I'll be right there to greet you
So don't turn down my invitation

Hallelujah hallelujah
I'll be shoutin' hallelujah all the day
Oh we'll have a jubilee down in Memphis Tennessee
And we'll shout hallelujah all the day

Take that night train to Memphis
Take that night train to Memphis
You know how I'm longing to see you
Leave that 3-50-7 and arrive in at eleven
Then I'll be shoutin' hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah...
[ instrumental ]
Take that night train to Memphis
Take that night train to Memphis
Tell that engineer to pull a throttle open
Keep that engine stack a smokin'
I'm not kiddin' I'm not jokin'
And I'll soon be with my girl I'm hopin'

Hallelujah hallelujah...

Down Came The World

Waylon Jennings - Bozo Darnell

© Freeway Music, BMI

Down down down came the world
I went round round round round in a whirl
I built every dream around one girl
Then down down down came the world

She must have loved a little just to keep me hanging on
How could lips that kiss so sweet lie and be so wrong
Our love was just a pattern of the perfect boy and girl
Then down down down came the world

Down down down came the world...
Then down down down came the world

Tom Dooley

John Lomax - Frank Warner

© Ludlow Music, BMI

Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you're bound to die

I met her on the mountain
There I took her life
Met her on the mountain
And stubbed her with my knife

Oh boys now hang down your head Tom Dooley...

This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't've been for that Greysome
I'd've been in Tennessee

Oh boys now hang down your head Tom Dooley...
[ instrumental ]
This time tomorrow reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
A swinging from a wide oak tree

Oh boys now hang down your head Tom Dooley...
Hang down your head Tom Dooley...
