My Little Love Lights

This little love-light of mine are you gonna let it shine
This little love-light of mine are you gonna let it shine
This little love-light of mine are you gonna let it shine
Let it shine let it shine let it shine

With your arms wrapped around me my little love-light will shine
With your arms wrapped around me my little love-light will shine
With your arms wrapped around me my little love-light will shine
Let it shine let it shine let it shine

Someday soon you promised me you'd make my love-light shine
Someday soon you promised me you'd make my love-light shine
Someday soon you promised me you'd make my love-light shine
With a kiss your arms around me make it shine

Wee wee hours come and let my love-light shine
In the wee wee hours let my lil' love-light shine
In the wee wee hours let my lil' love-light shine
Let it shine let it shine let it shine

She Once Was Mine

I had a fine looking woman
Who lived way 'cross this man's town
I had a fine looking woman
And I lived on the other side of town
Every time I was with her
She didn't want no-one else around

She was once my little girlfriend
And I was truly once her man
She was once my little girlfriend
And I was truly once her man
I bought her anything she wanted
And laid it right down in her hand

You know I still love her
I'll do anything she told me to
You know I still love her truly
Do anything she'll tell me to
I can't stop thinking about her
And all the sweet things we used to do

I cried "oh Lord have mercy
What wrong have I done
I cried oh Lord have mercy
What wrong have I done
The only girl I ever loved
I lost her to some other one

I Got A Booking

I got a booking with the airlines
Pack up and going to go
I'm gonna leave here by plane darling
Because railway is much too slow

I'm goin' back to my hometown
Where I'm better known
'Cause you haven't done nothing darling
But ruin a happy home

Now when the sun sinks in the hillside
The one you love will be gone
And I know I will be blue darling
But somehow I'll just travel on

Now would you rather care to kiss me
Or would you prefer to just say goodbye
'Cause I will turn and leave you darling
I don't want to see you cry

His Daughter Caroline

Chuck Berry

So few years ago her daddy held her in his arms
Snugged the blanket around her feet to help and keep 'em warm
When he kissed her tender cheek oh how her eyes would shine
His ev'ry dream was built around his daughter Caroline

He remembered ev'ry time she'd turn another year
And at the birthday parties when he'd shed a happy tear
Thinking of the wedding dress that she would wear someday
When he'd have to give his daughter Caroline away

He thought of what he saw the night they called her from the roll
A silver graduation ring and engagement ring of gold
It seems as tho' twas yesterday he met her valentine
And now she's grown and here to wed his daughter Caroline

Maarching on his arm she whispered "Pa I still love you"
Those words remained within his ears when she vowed "I do"
Cheer was sparkling from his eyes but tears were in behind
When he gave his heart away his daughter Caroline

You Came A Long Way From St. Louis

Bob Russell - John Brooks

© Jewel Music, ASCAP

You came a long way from St Louis
You climbed the ladder of success
I've seen the flashy foreign cars
That were parked out in front of
Your fancy address

You came a long way from St Louis
You broke a lot of hearts between
I've met a gang of gloomy guys
Who were doin' all right
'Till you came on the scene

You blew in from the middle-west
And certainly impressed
The population here-abouts
Well baby I got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
So naturally I got my doubts

You got 'em droppin' by the way-side
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St Louis
But baby you still got a long way to go

My how you come up
Hmmm you really come on

Hey I'll have your address
St Louis woman
You're a St Louis doll

You blew in from the middle-west
And certainly impressed
The population here-abouts
Well baby I've got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
So naturally I got my doubts

You got 'em droppin' by the way-side
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St Louis
But baby you still got a long way to go

You left St Louis far behind
Keep this little thought in mind
You still got a long way to go

St. Louis Blues

William Handy

I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause the woman I'm loving she has left this town

If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today
If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my bags and make a getaway

St Louis woman without your diamond ring
If you didn't have good looks you wouldn't mean a thing
If it was not for powder and your super hair
Without the man who loves you you wouldn't get nowhere

I got the St Louis blues blue as I can be
I got the St Louis blues blue as I can be
You know I love you but you don't care for me

I got the St Louis blues blue as I can be
I got the St Louis blues blue as I can be
You know I love you but you don't care for me
I got the St Louis blues blue as I can be

Jamaica Farewell

Lord Burgess

© Caribe Music, ASCAP

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines brightly on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I miss all my friends in Kingston town

Down at the market you can hear
All the ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Akie rice salt fish are nice
And the sun is fine any time of the year

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I miss all my friends in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the children sway to and fro
I must declare that my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I miss all my friends in Kingston town

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I miss all my friends in Kingston town

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I miss all my friends in Kingston town

Dear Dad

Chuck Berry

© Isalee Music, BMI

Dear Dad don't get mad
What I'm asking for
Is by the next semester
Can I get another car
This one here is sick'ning
On a wide dual road
I might as well be walking
As to drive this old Ford

Almost everytime I try
To go and pass a truck
If I ain't goin' down hill
Dad I'm out of luck
And even if I get by
It's still a rugged risk
The way this old Ford
Keep a hitting and a miss

Last week when I was driving
On my way to school
I almost got a ticket
'Bout a freeway traffic rule
It's now a violation
Driving under forty-five
And if I push to fifty
This here Ford will nosedive

Dad I'm in great danger
Out here trying to drive
The way this Ford wiggles
When I'm approaching forty-five
I have to nurse it along
Like a little stubborn pup
And cars whizzing by me
Dad look like I'm backing up

She just don't have the appetite
For gas somehow
And Dad I got four carburetors
Hooked up on it now
I tried to hook another
To see if I'd do a little good
But ain't no place to put it
'Less I perforate the hood

Well Dad send the money
See what I can see
Try to find a Cadillac
A Sixty-two or three
Just something that won't worry us
To keep it on the road
Sincerely your beloved son
Henry Junior Ford

Why Should We End This Way

Chuck Berry

© Isalee Music, BMI

If I should lose you it would hurt so bad
You are the only love that I've had
Tell me why
Why should it end this way

You know it hurts me deep in my heart
To know that we are drifting apart
Tell me why
Why should it end this way

Yes I could scream I want you to know
It'll hurt me so bad if you should go
Tell me why
Why should it end this way
