Alabama Jubilee

Jack Yellen - Georg Cobb

© Remick Music, ASCAP

You oughta see deacon Jones when he rattles his bones
Old parson Brown jammin' round like a clown
Old aunt Mima who is past eighty three
Shoutin' watch you step watch you step
Full of pep she's full of pep

One legged Joe jumpin' round on his toe
Threw away his crutch and hollered hey let her go
Oh honey hail hail the gang's all here
For a Alabama jubilee
[ instrumental ]
Oh see deacon Jones when rattles his bones...
One legged Joe jumpin' round on his toe...

The Gods Were Angry With Me

Watt Watkins

© Century Songs, BMI

The Gods were angry with me for loving you
The Gods were angry with me because they knew
I stood at heaven's portal that was too high
For any mortal such as I

Then they took down the sun the skies were gray
And then the howling winds took you away
But there was nothing I could do for I could see
It was because the Gods were angry with me
[ instrumental ]
The Gods were angry with me for loving you...
Then they took down the sun the skies were gray...

Deep Water

Fred Rose

© Milene Music, ASCAP

I'm drifting into deep water I'm starting to care for you
You're getting me in deep water be careful what you do

You wanna romance but I'm seeking love
I know I'll regret it when it ends
Oh I'm winding up in deep water why can't we just be friends
[ instrumental ]
It's restless in this deep water I'm lost between right and wrong
My love is true as deep water your love won't last as long

Where will it lead me and where will it end
I can't help but wish I only knew
Oh I'm winding up in deep water so deep in love with you

So Used To Loving You

Webb Pierce - Tommy Hill

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

So used to loving you I can't believe we're through
Nobody else will do since we're apart
I tried so hard to find someone to ease my mind
But they're just not my kind so used to loving you
[ instrumental ]
If someday you should change you may still wear my name
Don't hang your head in shame for each mistake you've made
No one lives a perfect life so forget your foolish pride
And put your past aside and come back to me

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain

Fred Rose

© Milene Music, ASCAP

In the twilight glow I see her blue eyes crying in the rain
As we kissed goodbye and parted I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember blue eyes crying in the rain
[ instrumental ]
Now my hair has turned to silver all my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven blue eyes crying in the rain

Some day when we meet up yonder we'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting blue eyes crying in the rain

Detour

Paul Westmoreland

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

Headin' down life's crooked road lot of things I never knowed
And cause of me not knowin' I now pine
Trouble got in the trail spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign

Detour there's a muddy road ahead detour paid no mind to what it said
Detour oh these bitter things I find should have read that detour sign

When I got right to the place where it said about face
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the father I go the more sorrow
I know should have read that detour sign

Sioux City Sue

Ray Freedman - Dick Thomas

© E.H. Morris Co, ASCAP

I drove a herd of cattle down from old Nebraska way
That's how I came to be in the state of Iowa
I met a gal in Iowa her eyes were big and blue
I asked her what her name was she said Sioux City Sue

Oh Sioux City Sue Sioux City Sue
Your hair is red your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
Oh Sioux City Sue
Well there ain't no gal as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue
[ instrumental ]
Now I'm admitting Iowa I owe a lot to you
I come from Nebraska and stole Sioux City Sue
But I'm gonna rope and tie her up in my old lasso
I'm gonna put my brand on my sweet Sioux City Sue

Oh Sioux City Sue...

Looking Back

Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Belford Hendricks

© Eden Music, BMI

Looking back over my life I can see where I caused you strife
And I know yes I know I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds I can see signs of wise man heeds
And if I just have the chance I'd never make that same mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing but I gave nothing in return
And I can begin to tell you what a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate I can see love turn to hate
And I know yes I know I'll never make that same mistake again no more

Keeper Of My Heart

Bob Wills - Jerry Irby

© Anne-Rachel Music, ASCAP

If again you were just mine
The sun for me would always shine
Though fate had ruled that we must part
You're still the keeper of my heart

Each night now I'm upon my knee
I pray that you remember me
When we are many miles apart
You'll be the keeper of my heart
[ instrumental ]
All alone without your love
I ask our keeper up above
To guide your footsteps back to me
Without you life's no good you see

The treasured memories that burn
I keep and I will always yearn
All the love that once was mine
Of the keeper of my heart

Till You Come Back Again

Buddy Killen

© Tree Pub, BMI

A lonely room a window pane misted by the falling rain
Is all I have now to comfort me till you come back again
A telephone that never ring an empty heart that never sing
Is all I have now to comfort me till you come back again

I'm sure I could find another love
But you're the one the only one that I'd be thinking of
The rain may stop and clear the sky the sun may shine my window dry
My phone may ring but my heart won't sing till you come back again

The rain may stop and clear the sky the sun may shine my window dry
My phone may ring but my heart won't sing till you come back again

Still Water

William Robinson - Frank Wilson

© Stone Agate Music, BMI

Still water runs the deepest like a love complete and true
So peaceful and dependable I can't say the same about you
Your love is cold and selfish it never could be true
One time I loved you truly I can't say the same about you

Well I'm a leavin' and I won't be back I'm a goin' where I belong
Too long we've been together too long you've done me wrong
Oh still water runs the deepest like a love complete and true
So peaceful and dependable I can't say the same about you
[ instrumental ]
Well I'm a leavin' and I won't be back...
I can't say the same about you I can't say the same about you

Home In San Antone

Floyd Jenkins

© Milene Music, ASCAP

I haven't gotta worry haven't gotta care
Haven't got a thing to call my own
Though I'm out of money I'm a millionaire
I still have my home in San Antone

When I greet my neighbor with a hi you all
I'm wealthy as a king upon a throne
Now you can have your mansion or your cottage small
I'll just take my home in San Antone
[ instrumental ]
Well traveled o'er the country on my weary way
Been in crowds and felt I was alone
When I feel like bragging I just up and say
I'm a native son of San Antone

Now there's a sweet somebody by the Alamo
Someday she's gonna be my very own
Then we'll get a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in San Antone
