Games People Play

Joe South

Oh the games that people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean

And they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the black limousine

Lada da da da da
Lada da da da dee
I'm a talkin' bout you and me
And the games that people play

Well we make one another cry
Break a heart and then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and then we hope to die
That the other was to blame

Neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been
Well it's a dirty rotten shame

Lada da da da da...
[ guitar ]
People walkin' up to ya
Singin' glory hallelujah
And then they really to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord

They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate
Come on and get on board

Lada da da da da...

Look around and tell me what you see
What's happenin' to you and me
God grant me serenity
To remember who I am

Cause you're givin' up serenity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a da da da

Lada da da da da...
Lada da da da da...

A Little Piece At A Time

Neal Merritt - Shorty Hall

© Central Songs, BMI

First the look in your eyes made me realize
I've been losin' you a little piece at a time
No a smile on your lips and your cold cold fingertips
Tells me I'm losin' you a little piece at a time

A little piece of you leaves me every day
How long will it be before all of you walks away
Your heart's gone and you're cold do you think that I don't know
That I've been losin' you a little piece at a time

A little piece of you leaves me every day
How long will it be before all of you walks away
Let me put back each part beginning with your heart
Let's fall in love again a little piece at a time
Let's fall in love again a little piece at a time

I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World

Charlie Williams - Carl Walden

© Central Songs, BMI

Ooh my poor old head
Who's that in the mirror
Ooh it's me
My eyes look like two cherries in a bowl of buttermilk
Hey fellas I got a sad story to tell ya

Now the newspaper said it was Wednesday
When I finally drug myself outta bed
But I got up Monday mornin' hurtin'
Deep inside my poor old head
You see I got paid Friday night and I decided to swing
And ah I guess I really gave it a whirl
I don't know where or when or what I did
But a I wouldn't have missed it for the world

Well the last thing I can remember
I hollered set 'em up for the whole bar
And don't nobody worry about closin' time
Cause a I gotta fifth on the seat of my car
Then I went somewhere with somebody
And after that it kinda gets all blurred
I don't know where or when or what I did
But a I wouldn't have missed it for the world

Ooh ya know I still think I can hear that honky tonk piano
Maybe the music got me that way
No somebody said I was inebriated
I don't know what that means
Good lookin' nah couldn't have been that ah ah

Well you see I don't remember exactly what happened
But I know it's just a question of time
Till some cat come over who saw me
He's gonna tell me what I did to my mind
I ain't got a penny left in my pocket
Gee I hope I spent it on some girl
I don't know where or when or what I did
But a I wouldn't have missed it for the world

I don't know where or when or what I did
But a I wouldn't have missed it for the world

Ooh my head I guess I'm gonna quit
Today my brain's all thumbs
I know what happened somebody put alcohol in my drink
Oh that's it I quit oh no
Well maybe a little wine
Anybody got a drink

Well I got a gal named Bony Moronie
Yeah she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Well you oughta see her dancin' with her blue jeans on
Oh she's not very fat she's just skin and bones
I love her she loves me oh how happy now we can be
A makin' love underneath the apple tree

Well she's my tutti-frutti she's my heart's desire
She's a real up-setter she's a real live wire
Well everybody stares when my baby goes by
Well she's oh so skinny well it catches your eye
I love her she loves me oh how happy now we can be
A makin' love underneath the apple tree

Well I told her papa and her mama too
Just exactly what I'm a gonna do
Well we're gonna get married on a night in June
And rock and roll by the light of the slivery moon
Well I love her she loves me oh how happy now we can be
A makin' love underneath the apple tree

There's A New Moon Over My Shoulder

Jimmie Davis - Lee Blastic - Ekko Whelan

© Peer Int, BMI

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
I remember now that I'm older
What you told me the day we had to part

Well you promised with the new moon you'd be comin' back to me
Many moons have come and gone and I'm still waiting patiently
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
[ instrumental ]
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
Now I'm wishing I had been bolder
Then perhaps we wouldn't be so far apart

Well you promised you would write me but so far there's not a line
Still I wait and make a believe that some day you'll be mine
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

Me And Bobby McGee

Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster

© Combine Music, BMI

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Ah but feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands we finally
Sang up ever song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose...

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I've done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
A lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left is all she left for me
Ah but feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Body that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

La la la la la la la la
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee...

How Many

Hal Blair - Howard Barnes

© Jamie Music, BMI

If all the guys you ever knew
Were lined in columns two by two
Then I wonder just how many there would be
And if all the guys you ever kissed
Were marked on paper on a list
Then I wonder just how many there would be

Well now there must have been a million for everywhere you go
You seem so well acquainted everybody says hello
And if I could count all the broken hearts
Like mine would be if we should part
Then I wonder just how many there would be
[ instrumental ]
There must have been a million for everywhere you go...

Who'll Stop The Rain

John Fogerty

© Jondora Music, BMI

Long as I remember rain been comin' down
Clouds of myst'ry fallin' confusion on the ground
Goodness through the ages tryin’ to find the sun
And I wonder still I wonder who’ll stop the rain

I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the sun
Caught up in the fable to watch the tower grow
Five year plan on a new deal wrapped in golden chain
And I wonder still I wonder who’ll stop the rain

Heard the singer singin' how we cheered for more
Crowds all rushed together tryin' to keep warm
Still the rain kept fallin' fallin' on my ears
And I wonder still I wonder who’ll stop the rain

Pink Eyed Pussycat

Neal Merritt

© Central Songs, BMI

One time there was a pink eyed pussycat
Growled all night like a regular old tomcat
I said pussycat pussycat you got red eyes
He said man you oughta be lookin' at 'em from this side

I been a howlin' all night with a persian lady cat
When I woke this mornin' didn’t know where I's at
I said lady cat lady cat did we have a good time
She said ol' tiger now you're mine

Well a pink eyed pussy cat pink eyed pussycat
A pink eyed pussycat

Somebody tell me where I been
Well I lost nine lives and I'm workin' on ten
I got fifteen baby cats waitin' at home
And a big fat mama cat with a two by one

I started howlin' last night at a big cat party
Then I got thrown out cause I got disorderly
Ran up and down the alley on a picket fence
And everything after that just got a little dense

Oh a pink eyed pussy cat pink eyed pussycat
A pink eyed pussycat

No Letter Today

Frankie Brown

© Peer Int, BMI

No letter today I have waited since dawn
I've waited each day since you have been gone
No letter today all the days are so long
Oh why don't you write I know I was wrong

Just give me one chance please won't you forgive
I'll love you my dear just as long as I live
But I know it's no use although I hope and I pray
The postman goes by no letter today
[ instrumental ]
No letter today I have waited since dawn...
Just give me one chance please won't you forgive...
No letter today no letter today
