Midnight Me And The Blues

Jerry House

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Long train rumbles low in the distance hear it blow
Don't engineers know I miss you
And they're reminding me how lonely nights can be
When it's midnight me and the blues

Cars going down the street no traffic jams to meet
This time of night they'll drive right through
And they all go right by and they don't know I cry
When it's midnight me and the blues

Midnight's the loneliest time in the world
Me I'm the loneliest guy with no girl
These blues began when it ended with you
Now it's midnight me and the blues
[ instrumental ]
Jet plane low overhead rumbles my lonely bed
Crumbles my lovely dreams of you
They don't care that you're gone or if midnight lasts till dawn
When it's midnight me and the blues

Midnight's the loneliest time in the world...
Midnight me and the blues

Scarlet Wings

Damon Black

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I just overheard him calling you an angel
And I guess he's found its heaven's touch you bring
But just wait until he tries to find a way of holding heaven
When his angel's leaving out on scarlet wings

Cause all another has to say to scarlet wings is fly away
Then gone will be the song his angel sings
And there's no returning flight just cold and lonely nights
While his angel's leaving out on scarlet wings
[ instrumental ]
But he just stood in disbelief and called it envy
When I tried to tell him what they'd all told me
Now let him join the ranks of those call fools that never listen
While his angel's leaving out on scarlet wings

Cause all another has to say to scarlet wings is fly away...
While his angel's leaving out on scarlet wings

Amanda

Bob McDill

© Gold Dust Music, BMI

I've held it all inwards God knows I've tried
And it's an awful awakenin' in a country boy's life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

Well a measure of people don't understand
The pleasure of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now I'm crowdin' thirty and still wearin' jeans

Amanda light of my life...
Amanda light of my life...

Hang My Picture In Your Heart

Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Hang my picture in your heart dear
While I'm many miles away
And think of me when you get lonely
And I'll come back to you someday

I'll come back with arms to hold you
Lips to kiss your cares away
Hang my picture in your heart dear
And I'll come back to you someday
[ instrumental ]
Hang my picture in your heart dear
And should your sweet love start to stray
Just think of me and how I love you
And I'll come back to you someday

I'll come back with arms to hold you...
And I'll come back to you someday

If There Were No Memories

Ronal McCown

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

If there were no wishes perhaps I wouldn't want
For things I'd like to have and someone I'd like to want
If there would be no fate perhaps we never would have met
And if there were no memories I wouldn't have to forget

Now if there was no sadness nobody would have to cry
And you'd see no lonely teardrops a fallin' from my eyes
If there would have been no loving you my heart would not be broken yet
And if there were no memories I wouldn't have to forget
[ instrumental ]
Now if there was no sadness nobody would have to cry...

And if there were no memories I wouldn't have to forget
Yes yes yes

Stomp Them Grapes

Ronal McCown

Stomp stomp them grapes and make that wine
Put it in a bottle boys and ship it on down the line

Well I got up this morning and made it downtown
Started mighty early just makin' my rounds
Well I had me a woman she left me alone
I've got to lose these blues before I take myself back home

So stomp stomp them grapes and make that wine
Put it in a bottle boys and ship it on down the line
I said a stomp stomp them grapes and make that wine
There's a troubled man in trouble with a woman on his mind
[ instrumental ]
Yesterday she loved me today that's history
Why she should want to leave me is a deep dark mystery
I may not find the answer but I'll find me a jug
Cause I'm gonna do some drinkin' boys it's a really got me bugged

So stomp stomp them grapes and make that wine...

My Side Of Life

Merle Kilgore

© American Music, BMI

My side of life is far from heaven
I've never seen an angel in a tavern
Cause a halo doesn't show
Up against the whiskey glow
Ev'ry night on my side of life

My side of life keeps turning only
To anyone like me who's dumb and lonely
And I believe their pretty lies
Cause my mind's been paralyzed
It's my way on my side of life
[ instrumental ]
My side of life is what I made it
I had an angel once who tried save it
But your ears don't hear so well
In the bottom of a whiskey well
Ev'ry night on my side of life

My side of life keeps turning only...

Somebody Gave Lucy A Drink

Ronal McCown

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I was just goin' down to the corner drugstore
But somehow I wound in Joe's Bar next door
I was just sayin' goodbye to Whipple and Frank
When somebody gave Lucy a drink

Somebody gave Lucy a drink somebody gave Lucy a drink
That's when my troubles all started I think
When somebody gave Lucy a drink

I had to go home it was gettin' too late
But someone would come in and I'd have to wait
But my good ship of intentions just sank
When somebody gave Lucy a drink

Oh Somebody gave Lucy a drink it was a double
Somebody gave Lucy a drink
That's when my troubles all started I think
When somebody gave Lucy a drink

Somebody gave Lucy a drink somebody gave Lucy a drink
That's when my troubles all started I think
When somebody gave redman a drink

Somebody gave Lucy a drink it was a double...

Second Best

Wayne P. Walker - Jim Kandy

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Is that look a disguise that I see there in your eyes
Are you leading me on just for fun
There's one thing I must know that will make me stay or go
In your heart am I really number one

Second best is something I won't be
I know being second best would get the best of me
So be sure you take your time while you're makin' up your mind
Cause second best is something I won't be
[ instrumental ]
Living life without you would be oh so hard to do
So I've just got to know where we stand
I won't be second best sharing your love with the rest
In your heart I must be the only man

Second best is something I won't be...
Cause second best is something I won't be

The Last Time

Jerry House

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Mama made my uniform sewed a stripe on the shoulder
Papa wanted my company flag
Bring it back when it's over Jenny came to say goodbye
And she said she'd wait for me
On my stallion I sat high leaving Tennessee

This is the last time that you'll see Jenny
That's what the cottonwoods keep singing to me
Cause the last time that you'll see Jenny
Will be the last time you see Tennessee

I took her by the hand it was last September
My Jenny made that day one I'd remember
I promised to return soon after victory
Down the road I waved goodbye joining Robert E Lee

This is the last time that you'll see Jenny
That's what the cottonwoods keep singing to me
Cause the last time that you'll see Jenny
Will be the last time you see Tennessee

I held her close to me as we lay by the river
And now I'm going to see the baby I give her
Mama made my uniform that I wore so gallantly
Papa I'm sorry your flag's wrapped all around me

This is the last time that you'll see Jenny
That's what the cottonwoods keep singing to me
