I Could Sing All Night Long

Tommy Collins - Ferlin Husky

© Husky Music, BMI

I could sing sing sing all night
I could sing sing sing all night
I could sing I could sing all night

I found a new love she's the true love
Sing I could sing all night
She said she'd love me true she would be
Sing I could sing all night

Well I could sing sing sing all night...

She's got money she's my honey
Sing I could sing all night
Drive in sport cars smokin' big cigars
Sing I could sing all night

Well I could sing sing sing all night...
[ instrumental ]
She's got a big house now I'm a rich louse
Sing I could sing all night
Huggin' and kissin' huntin' and fishin'
Sing I could sing all night

Well I could sing sing sing all night...

Mohair and short skins diamond rings and tiepins
Sing I could sing all night
No more of feedin' hogs we got swimmin' pools and puddle dogs
Sing I could sing all night

Let's all sing I could sing sing sing all night...
Everybody sing sing sing all night...
Sing sing sing all night...

Stand Beside Me

Tompall Glaser

© Glaser Pub, BMI

Stand beside me stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care

I can't stand to think that I might be alone
Not alone again not the way it was back then
Before you walked into my heart and told me we'd never part
So stand beside me don't ever let me be alone again

Stand beside me stand beside me
For if I should lose you I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care
[ instrumental ]
Now the sands of time may turn our hair to silver
But growing old is fun if your young heart's true to one
You know it's true to you like it can't be with me and you
So stand beside me I'll be standing right there yes right next to you

Stand beside me stand beside me...

Why Do I Put Up With You

Hank Mills - David Wilkins

© Moss-Rose Pub, BMI

with Bettie Huskey

I don't know why I put up with you
I put up with you and the little things you do
I don't know why I put up with you
I put up with you the way I do

You bring the kitchen to the bedroom while you're readin'
And I wake up with cheese and crackers in my hair
And when I go to take a shower I start screamin'
Cause I get lost in your nylon jungle bear

Oh I don't know why I put up with you
I put up with you the way I do

You throw your clothes around the room in no directions
And then you wonder why my work is never done
The little workshop in the basement never seen you
I tell myself if the TV program's comin' on

I don't know why I put up with you
I put up with you the way I do
[ instrumental ]
I don't know why I put up with you
I put up with you the way I do

At two o'clock I call and say we're goin' dancin'
To give you time to make your face and fix your hair
And eight o'clock we're runnin' in and out of dress shops
Because you say you have't got a thing to wear

I don't know why I put up with you
I put up with you the way I do

On Friday night you promised me that we'll go shoppin'
Because on Saturdays the sale is goin' off
But in the morning you say honey I'm so sorry
I have forgot that today I'm playin' golf

I don't know why I put up with you
I put up with you and the little things you do
I don't know why I put up with you
I put up with you but I do

Once

Ted Harris

© Plainspoken Music, ASCAP

I was foolish once
And I let my once get away

I was happy once
You'd never believe it today
I got careless once
All at once you got away

Life had beauty once
It's not worth livin' today
I slipped out once
All at once you slipped away

All great regret like the flavor of wine
Only grows deeper with the passing of time

Life had meaning once
It's cold and so empty today
I was foolish once
I let my once get away

What Does Your Conscience Say To You

Ray Pennington

© Tree Pub, BMI

(What does your conscience say to you)

When you're with your somebody new and he holds you in his arms
Don't you know you're not lovin' by the rules
If you would stop and search your mind imagine what you'd find
What would your conscience say to you

Tell me do you think he'll love you and that he'll be true
If he'll take you from me he'll leave you for someone too
But let your conscience be your guide so many times I've heard you say
What does your conscience say to you
[ instrumental ]
Now you know I've always been true and I tried to do my part
There's no reason to treat me like you do
What makes you think his love will last compare your future with your past
What does your conscience say to you

Oh tell me do you think he'll love you and that he will be true...

Sunny Nights

Fred Carter

© Tree Pub, BMI

There's a gonna be some sunny nights
Because the sun's a gonna shine tonight
Love's gonna make everything all right
And I'm a gonna have some sunny nights

Yesterday was a lonely day
The day before was the same ol' way
But today I met a special girl
She brought a little sunshine to my world

There's a gonna be some sunny nights...
[ instrumental ]
There's a gonna be some sunny nights...

I cried last night like a baby child
My tears kept a runnin' runnin' wild
Ain't never again gonna cry no more
Found a love I've been a searchin' for

There's a gonna be some sunny nights...
There's a gonna be some sunny nights...
There's a gonna be some sunny nights...

I Hear Little Rock Calling

Dallas Frazier

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

I hear Little Rock callin' homesick tears a fallin'
I've been away from Little Rock way too long
I'm gonna have a worried mind till I cross the Arkansas line
I hear Little Rock callin' me back home

I remember on that day they said son don't go away
Now I wish I would've listened to their call
I miss my mom and I miss my dad and the good friends that I had
But I miss my hometown sweetheart most of all

I hear Little Rock callin' homesick tears a fallin'...
[ instrumental ]
I've been through a thousand towns mostly sleepin' on the ground
And the thrill of travelin' this ol' world is gone
I've been hungry and I've cold I've been troubled in my soul
I'm a gonna climb the border next train home

I hear Little Rock callin' homesick tears a fallin'...
I hear Little Rock callin' homesick tears a fallin'...
I hear Little Rock calling me back home

Even If It's True

Dallas Frazier

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

I refuse to hear the things they say about you
I won't let my eyes behold the things you do
I don't want to see or hear the things they whisper
Even if it's true

Even if it's true that you've been seen with someone new
Nothing in this world could turn my love away from you
Oh the talk could never make me be ashamed of you
Even if it's true
[ instrumental ]
Even if it's true that you've been seen with someone new...

A Touch Of Yesterday

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

I'd beg and steal if I could feel
A touch of yesterday
Oh what I'd give if I could live
A touch of yesterday

The rain's been fallin' since you've been gone
It's gonna rain until you come back home
The hurt would leave if I could breathe
A touch of yesterday
[ instrumental ]
The rain's been falling since you've been gone...
A touch of yesterday

There Goes My Everything

Dallas Frazier

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

I hear footsteps slowly walkin'
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice softly sayin'
Darling this will be goodbye forever more

There goes my reason for livin'
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything
[ instrumental ]
As my mem'ry turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door

There goes my reason for livin'...

The Blues Ain't Nothin'

Hank Mills - Walter Haynes - Shorty Lavender

© Moss-Rose Pub, BMI

When you wake up in the mornin' and you're sick from head to toe
No need to get a doctor cause the doc he won't know
How to take away the hurtin' that's been a tossin' you around
You say the blues ain't nothin' but a woman let no good man down

Hit your finger with a hammer and the pain ain't the same
There ain't nothin' like a woman to drive a good man insane
She's gonna keepin' you in mis'ry like a flee on a hound
Cause the blues ain't nothin' but a woman let no good man down
[ instrumental ]
When you been out a walkin' in the drizzlin' rain
You gonna hear ev'rybody callin' out her name
Go find yourself a river jump in and drown
Cause the blues ain't nothin' but a woman let no good man down

Oh Me Oh My

Ronnie Self

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

Well I'm sittin' on the river with a pole in my hand the river might as well be dry
No I ain't gonna catch any fish today cause I ain't got no dogfly
Maybe next summer when the wind is warm the yellow sun rise high
The fish will start to jumpin' and I think of somethin' singin' oh me oh my

Oh me oh my what a fool am I
It's too late to cry oh me oh my

When my woman hang her washer lyin' the rain she knew it wasn't gonna dry
Like a man at the station a waitin' for train he knows it already went by
Maybe next summer when the wind is warm the yellow sun rise high
I'll think about the woman with the washer in the rain singin' oh me oh my

Oh me oh my what a fool am I
It's too late to cry oh me oh my
[ guitar ]
Well gone are the days when I used to care worry bout the good and the bad
Been so long since I was happy guess I used to bein' sad
I wait for the summer when the wind is warm the yellow sun rise high
Singin' my song and carry right along singin' oh me oh my

Well oh me oh my what a fool am I
It's too late to cry oh me oh my

One more please
Oh me oh my what a fool am I
It's too late to cry oh me oh my
