Little Ole Wine Drinker Me

Hank Mills - Dick Jennings

© Moss-Rose Pub, BMI

I'm prayin' for rain in California
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine
And I'm a sittin' in a honky in Chicago
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind

I matched the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
When they ask who's the fool in the corner crying
I say little ole wine drinker me
[ instrumental ]
I came here a last week from down in Nashville
Cause my baby left for Florida on a train
I thought I'd get a me job and just forget her
But in Chicago a broken heart is still the same

I matched the man behind the bar for the jukebox...
Little ole wine drinker me

Lonely Girl

Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker

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...

Yours Love

Harlan Howard

May the fruit of my toil be yours love
May the food from my soil be yours love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong
And lives on and on be yours love

May the sons that I raise be yours love
May the comforts I praise be yours love
If I ever get weak may the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek be yours love

May the Lord's shining grace be yours love
May the happiest face be yours love
May the last fingertips that touch these two lips
As life from me slips be yours love
[ instrumental ]
May the last fingertips that touch these two lips
As life from me slips be yours love

Detroit City

Mel Tillis - Danny Dill

I wanna go home I wanna go home
Oh Lord I wanna go home

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother
And I dreamed about the girl that's been waiting for so long

I wanna go home I wanna go home
Oh Lord I wanna go home
[ instrumental ]
Now the home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine
By day I make the cars and by night I'm a making the bars
Lord if only they could read between the lines

As you know I rode a long black freight train way up north to Detroit City
But after all these years I find that well I've just been wastin' my time
But you know what I think I'm gonna do folks I'm gonna take my foolish pride
And put it on a Southbound freight and ride

I wanna go home I wanna go home
Oh Lord I wanna go home

Kaw-Liga

Hank Williams - Fred Rose

© Milene Music, ASCAP

Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standin' by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head

Kaw-Liga was a lonely Indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss...

Daddy Sang Bass

I remember when I was a lad
Times were hard and times were bad
But there's a silver lining behind every cloud
Just poor people that's all we were
Tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle sing out loud

(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singing seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long
I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
No the circle won't be broken by and by Lord by and by
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky Lord in the sky
[ instrumental ]
Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us
You could hear us singing for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on
I'll rejoin him in a song
We'll be together again up yonder in a while

(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there...
In the sky Lord in the sky

Missing You

Dale Noe - Red Sovine

© Valley Pub, BMI

Missing you can't help but wish that you
Were in my arms tonight making love to me
Kissing you that's all I want to do
It never seems just right now that we are apart

I always spend my time just writing lines to you
Can't wait for you to write saying you love me too
Missing you can't help but wish that you
Were in my arms tonight making love to me
[ instrumental ]
I always spend my time just writing...

Love Ain't Gonna Die (I'm Gonna Have To Kill It)

Sharon Higgins

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Love ain't gonna die I'm gonna have to kill it

When she left me I thought in awhile love would die away
It's been a long long time now and love still lives today
So I've reached this one conclusion I think is a gonna seal it
Love ain't gonna die I'm gonna have to kill it
[ instrumental ]
The poison's right in front of me bartender don't you spill it
When my glass is empty drop back and refill it
Love ain't gonna die I'm gonna have to kill it

So stand another bottle up pop the top again
That's the sound that'll get it down it ain't got a chance to win
That sparklin' bubblin' licker is just the thing that'll chill it
Love ain't gonna die I'm gonna have to kill it

Love ain't gonna die I'm gonna have to kill it...
Love ain't gonna die I'm gonna have to kill it

Old Faithful

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

I always called her old faithful
She was always there when I came home
And I never thought the day would come she'd leave me
But for me those kind of thinking days are gone

Cause old faithful ain't faithful anymore
She's stepping out to even up the score
She's out there where the lights are bright
Wineing dining every night
And old faithful ain't faithful anymore
[ instrumental ]
Night after night she sits waitin'
Just to touch the fool that she loves so
But now for her those waiting days are over
For absence makes the warmest heart grow cold

Cause old faithful ain't faithful...
And old faithful ain't faithful anymore

Okeechobee Ocean

Mel Tillis - Fred Burch

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

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
