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...

Okeechobee Ocean

Well I left my home in the Everglades
Down on the Okeechobee Ocean
My shoes were filled with a wonderin' dust
And my head full of silly notions
Oh I got me a job on an ol' shrimp boat
That took me out to sea
Where the shrimp were pink and they sure did stink
To an ole bean picker like me

Well I wanna go home where the wildcats roam
And the sugar cane grows real tall
I wanna go back where the land is black
And the little gals say you all (y'all)
Down on the Okeechobee Ocean
Down on the Okeechobee Ocean

Well I worked my way past the Chesapeake Bay
To a town called Caribou Maine
Where my nose got cold and I froze my toes
Everybody said it was spring
I'm gonna pack my grip and take me a trip
As fast as I can thumb
Cause if they call that spring then the sunshine's rain
I'll be gone when the summer comes

Well I wanna go home where the wildcats roam...

Lawd I sure am homesick
I gotta get back to them Glades
And get me a hand full of them beans
Do you hear me
I gotta get outta here
Cause I can't stand it no longer

If I Could Only Start Over

Now if I could only start over
And have a new life to begin
I wouldn't live like a rover
And drift like a leaf in the wind

Cause I'm dreamin' tonight of old sweethearts
And believe me I've had quite a few
But I never dream of old sweethearts
The way that I dream about you
[ instrumental ]
Yes I let you slip through my fingers
While foolishly searching around
But if I could only start over
I know you could settle me down

Cause I'm dreaming tonight of old sweethearts...

But I never dreamed of old sweethearts
The way that I dream about you

World (What Have I Done)

Mel Tillis

World what have I done
To make you frown on me to cast me endlessly
Into your fiery sea what have I done what have I done

World what have I done
To numb my brain with wine to lose all track of time
To know no peace of mind what have I done what have I done

I can't get my head above the water
I can't get my head above the water

World what have I done
To no one be of worth to never have no mirth
To live this hell on earth what have I've done what have I've done

World what have I done
To walk these lonely streets wherever returns defeat
Too hungry to eat what have I done what have I done

I can't get my head above the water

Tormented Heart

Mel Tillis

There's no wings on you girl you're lost in this world
And I've got a tormented heart
You never could be true and still I worshiped you
And I've got a tormented heart

I know I must have loved you since you were a baby
And all you've ever done for me was drive me half crazy
And it would surely be a sin to love this much again
Cause I've got a tormented heart
[ instrumental ]
I know I must have loved you since you were a baby...

Guide Me Home My Georgia Moon

Guide me home my Georgia moon

Well I left my home in Georgia caught the lights of New York town
But my pockets soon were empty now my luck it sure is down
I'm lookin' at that southern moon through the glow of neon lights
If that Georgia guard will guide me then I'm on my way tonight

Guide me home my Georgia moon
To the one that I love so
Cause from her arms I won't be leaving soon
Guide me home my Georgia moon
[ instrumental ]
Well it's a long long way to Georgia just a few steps at a time
But I'm walkin' on down that highway towards the Mason and Dixon Line
My stomach sure is empty it ain't had a thing in days
But the Georgia moon keeps shinin' and I'll be there in a day

Guide me home my Georgia moon...
Guide me home my Georgia moon

Twelve Long Stem Roses

Cody Bearpaw

As I walked through my garden today
Pickin' flowers for a pretty bouquet
There were many shades of blue
White lilies and violets too
But I picked these long stem roses just for you

I'm sending roses twelve long stem roses
Will you not let them wither and die
I've picked them just for you
So I'm sending my love too
I hope these long stem roses cheer you when you cry

I could send just any rose you've had them all before
But somehow in a different way long stem roses mean more

So I'm sending roses twelve long stem roses...
I'm sending roses twelve long stem roses...
I hope these long stem roses cheer you when you cry

Lonely Girl

Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Do you remember me lonely girl
In your guilty memory
My love you traded for the night world
Where all your dreams met with tragedy

Now do you remember how I loved you so
On my knees I cried and I begged you please don't go
Now it's too late for us lonely girl
And I'm sorry I ran in to you
But the love you traded for the night world
Found happiness with somebody new
[ instrumental ]
Now do you remember how I loved you so...

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...
