Fraulein

Lawton Williams

© Travis Music, BMI

Far across the deep blue water lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old River Rhine
Where I loved her and left her I can't forget her
I miss my pretty Fraulein

Fraulein Fraulein look up toward the heavens
Each night when the stars start to shine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein
[ instrumental ]
When my memories wander away over yonder
To the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory a face comes before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein

Fraulein Fraulein look up toward the heavens...

It Keeps Right On A Hurtin'

Johnny Tillotson

© Ridge Music, BMI

(And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone)

I cry myself to sleep each night wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
The pillow where you lay your head holds my lonely tears instead
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone

It keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone

They say a man should never cry when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
You broke my heart and set me free you forgot your memory
(And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone)

It keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day...

Silver Threads And Golden Needles

Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds

© Central Songs, BMI

I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
I just want the love you promised beneath the halo'd moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' games

(Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine)
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money for I've never been that kind
(Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine)
[ instrumental ]
Silver threads and golden needles...
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

Sad Angel

Wanda Ballman

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

You look like an angel since you are so sad
Angel should be happy according the book I've read
You are so lovely the way an angel should be
And you feel so heavenly when close to me

You made me sad you broke my heart
Darling let me know
Who made you cry by telling lies
Sad angel I'll never ever make you cry

(Don't be sad my angel happy you should be)
Why don't you forget him and be happy with me
Let me hold you closer the way I want to
Sad angel sad angel I'm in love with you

Beauty In The Night

Bobby Helms - Bill Denny - Larry Moeller

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Oh the girl I saw last night these eyes can't forget that sight
Twas beauty I saw walking last night
Ruby lips hair of jet perly white teeth I can see 'em yet
Twas beauty I saw walking last night

For me it's been a long long day
Can't seem to pass the lonely hours away
I wonder if I'll ever see her again
Walkin' with her dark hair blowin' in the wind
And this pain in my heart I'll tell you where it got its start
Twas beauty I saw walking last night
[ instrumental ]
For me it's been a long long day...

Worst Part Of Me

Jan Crutchfield

© Dixie Jane Music, BMI

(The worst part of me)

I think your lips are reaching too close for your own good
I can't give you my heart how I wish nI could
I won't tell you I love you I can't call you see
The best I can give you is the worst part of me

I'm not over an old love I gave the best I had
She left me the cry each night it hurt me just that bad
Never sweethearts just good friends yes that's all that we could be
Cause the best I can give you is the worst part of me

The best part of me she took with her
It's too soon to repair what has been
Her memory keeps haunting me
I don't know when I can love again
I won't tell you I love you I'll wait until I'm free
For the best I can give you is the worst part of me
For the best I can give you is the worst part of me

My Special Angel

Jimmy Duncan

© Blue Grass Music, BMI

You are my special angel sent from up above
The Lord smiled down on me and sent an angel to love
You are my special angel right from paradise
I know you're an angel heaven is in your eyes

The smile from your lips brings the summer sunshine
Tears from your eyes bring the rain
I feel your touch your warm embrace and I'm in heaven again

You are my special angel through eternity
I'll have my special angel here to watch over me

(The smile from your lips brings the summer sunshine
Tears from your eyes bring the rain
I feel your touch your warm embrace and I'm in heaven again)

You are my special angel through eternity
I'll have my special angel here to watch over me

Tell Me And I'll Know (What To Do)

Bobby Helms - Bill Denny - Larry Moeller

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

If I could change the stars to caviar
The Milky Way would be champagne
That would be your style if you'd stay awhile
Tell me and I'll know what to do

That old moon you see might belong to me
I would take you for a ride
I would sing to you if you want me to
Tell me and I'll know what to do

Well when I'm in your arms there's something I fear
I feel like I'm in heaven every time you're near
Well I would try to run up to the sun
Anything for your love I would do
I would walk this land just to hold your hand
Tell me and I'll know what to do
[ instrumental ]
Well when I'm in your arms there's something I fear...
Tell me and I'll know what to do

You Left Nothing

Jack Toombs - Vivian Keith

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

When you left you took all the mem'ries
Something I didn't think you could do
Now I find it's so easy forgetting
You left nothing to remind me of you

Your leavin' has not really hurt me
Like I was afraid it would do
Since I never had your love to remember
You left nothing to remind me of you

Your heartaches to keep me from searching
For someone who might love me too
Now I know that the past stood behind me
You left nothing to remind me of you
[ instrumental ]
Your heartaches to keep me from searching...

I Don't Owe You Nothing

Bobby Helms

© Unichappell Music, BMI

I don't owe you nothing that's what I can always say
You're the one who cheated you'll be the one to pay
I don't owe you nothing you're the one that is to blame
Give back my heart I'll give back your name

When the fun is over the years have passed us by
That's when you think of me and hang your head and cry
You know that I don't owe you nothing you're the one that is to blame
Give back my heart I'll give back your name
[ instrumental ]
When the fun is over...

The Same Old Memories

Tompall Glaser

© Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI

You said that you'd come back and start all over
Our love would be the way it used to be
But you just want me where there are no others
To play your game till you'll come back to me

The same old memories of what just like they were before
The same old memories and everytime they hurt me more
You're happy with my heart is on its knees
Burnin' with the same old memories
[ instrumental ]
A part before a fool is all I'm asking
A little help that you might give a friend
Just show the strenght I know I must be liking
Set me free and let torture in

The same old memories of what just like they were before...
