Bracero

(Bracero Bracero don't need you no more)

In old California the border guards warn ya
That work permits really come dear
In old Arizona they say they don't wanna
A big bunch of Braceros this year
Down in Laredo they say they're afraid no
Work in Lubbock or Abilene
Not mucho dinero for you poor Bracero
They're pickin' it with a machine

Bracero Bracero the cotton is white
You're not up there pickin' well it just don't seem right
Machine's have brought starvation close to your door
Bracero Bracero don't need you no more

They tell us in West Dakota they think it's best we go
To Chicago or Des Moines
They say the meat packers might use some wetbackers
Who eat chili to buy them sirloin
They tell us at Brownsville if we hang around we'll
Find out that they sure can get mean
Not much of dinero for your poor Bracero
They're pickin' it with a machine

Bracero Bracero the cotton is white...

Kathy Keep Playing

Steve Karliski - Larry Kolber

(Kathy keep playing Mary's Little Lamb)

I only see you every other weekend
And even then it's just an hour or so
Your mama said you took to the piano
And she said you'd play for me before I go

Kathy keep playing Mary's Little Lamb
Tears are in my eyes that's how proud I am
Kathy keep playing and play it nice and slow
Cause when you're through your daddy's gotta go

With each mistake you make on the piano
I think of my mistakes that I've made too
If only I had made your mama happy
Then I wouldn't have to leave when you get through

Kathy keep playing Mary's Little Lamb...

Ask And You Will Receive

Stu Phillips

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Ask and you will receive
Seek and you will find
But I've been wasting a lifetime
Waiting for her to make up her mind

I walked with her talked with her
The hours just pass away
But when I lay an arm round her shoulder
Somehow she just turns away

(Ask and you will receive
Seek and you will find)
But I've been wasting a lifetime
Waiting for her to make up her mind

(I walked with her) I walked with her
(Talked with her) yes I talked with her
The hours just pass away
But when I lay an arm round her shoulder
Somehow she just turns away

Crystal Chandeliers

Ted Harris

© Plainspoken Music, ASCAP

Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes are standing stately in your hall
But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help you dry your tears
When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers

I never did fit in too well with folks you knew
And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you
Cause you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do
And turned away from the love I offered you

Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall...

I see your picture in the papers most every day
And you're the chosen girl of the social world so the stories say
Ah but a paper smile only lasts a while then it fades away
And the love we knew will come back to you some day

Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall...
(Crystal chandeliers crystal chandeliers)

That's The Chance I'll Have To Take

Waylon Jennings

© Tree Pub, BMI

Trouble and a worried mind
It seems that's all I've ever known
But I'll leave that all behind
If you'll just let me alone

And if I go on loving you
If to leave is a mistake
If I'm wrong in what I do
That's the chance I'll have to take
[ instrumental ]
Don't bother now to waste the time
Saying things you've said before
I've heard it all a hundred times
But I won't listen anymore

And if I go on loving you...

Some Of Me

Stu Phillips

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Some of me sleeps yeah the some of me weeps
Some of me's feeling blue
Some of me flirts yeah the some of me hurts
Some of me still loves you

Words leave my heart but fall unspoken
My lips won't talk to anyone new
They still recall one little token
A parting kiss that says I still love you

Some of me sleeps yeah the some of me weeps...

The Great El Tigre (The Tiger)

Cy Coben

© Delmore Music, ASCAP

Can that be the great El Tigre sitting there
That gray haired old man on the bench in the village square
Could he be that famous bandit of days gone by
Can he be the fierce El Tigre or did the real El Tigre die

He'll be remembered forever more
By the rich that he stole from and the poor he stole for

He once met a senorita on a raid
Sweet little Juanita who smiled up at him unafraid
And eyes hard as steel softened up at the sight that they saw
And love found a heart no bullet had been able to find before

Though he was a bandido with a price on his head
Te amo querida take me with you she said
[ instrumental ]
Can that be the great El Tigre sitting there
That old man asleep on the bench in the village square
And as he dreams a sweet old senora appears
And then as she gently wakes him she whispers into his ear

Querida mia the time it has flown
Vamanos mi bandido it's time we went home

Think I'll Go Somewhere And Cry Myself To Sleep

Bill Anderson

© Moss-Rose Pub, BMI

(Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep)

I just kissed the one I love for the last time
Never have her soft lips been so sweet
She's gone away and won't be back forever
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep

I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
Not because I'm sad but cause I'm weak
I can't stand the thought of life alone without her
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep

Just before she said goodbye she called me darling
And slowly ran her fingers down my cheek
I thought I'd die when she said she still love me
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep

I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep...

Another Day Has Gone

Stu Phillips

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Another day has gone and I'll go home
I must learn to face the future all alone
Another day has gone and you won't call
It seems you haven't any heart at all

Another night grows near making me blue
Someone said you've found somebody new
Another day has gone is this the end
Or will you come back and love me once again
[ instrumental ]
Another day has gone is this the end
Or will you come back and love me once again
(Another day has gone)

The Old French Quarter (In New Orleans)

Cindy Walker

© Matamoros Music, BMI

In the old French Quarter in New Orleans
In my dreams I walk once more with my darling
In the jasmine scented nights neath the misty old lamplights
In the old French Quarter in New Orleans

When I left she held me tight and told me
Not to stay away too long because she loved me
And the silent teardrops fell as we kissed and said farewell
To the old French Quarter in New Orleans

The summer turned to winter and when springtime came
I returned and learned that things were not the same

As I said goodbye to old New Orleans
I could see the church bells ringing for my darling
And I slowly walked away but I knew my heart would stay
In the old French Quarter in New Orleans
In the old French Quarter in New Orleans

I Will

Dick Glasser

© Ridgeway Music, BMI

I don't wanna be the one to say I'm gonna miss you
But I will
I don't wanna say I'm gonna cry my eyes out baby
But I will
I'm not ashamed for you to know how much I really loved you so
Cause it was such a thrill
Just remember when you're gone there'll be that someone sad
Who loves you still

You will look at him and see me smiling back at you
I know you will
You will find yourself repeating things we used to do
I know you will
Don't wonder if you wanna come back just got running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
Cause I'm the one who told I would love you dear forever
And I will
[ instrumental ]
Don't wonder if you wanna come back just got running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
Cause I'm the one who told I would love you dear forever
And I will

I'm the one who told I would love you dear forever
And I will

Four Strong Winds

Ian Tyson

© Witmark And Sons, ASCAP

Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run high
All these things that won't change come what may
But my good times are all gone and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

I may go out to Alberta weather's good there in the fall
Got some friends that I could go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind if I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more
[ instrumental ]
If I get there before the snow flies and things are looking good
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare
But if we'll wait until it's winter it would do no good
For the winds sure can blow cold way out there

Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run high...
