Rosie Cries A Lot

Jerry Foster - Bill Rice

© Jack And Bill Music, ASCAP

Rosie starts the morning by picking up your cloths
And her mind begins to question what you did the night before
And she wonders if you're lookin' for something she ain't got
And the minute that you leave her Rosie cries a lot

Rosie covers cry lines that hides her heartache well
Disguised behind her makeup the Avon lady sells
Her smile can have you thinking she's happy when she's not
But the minute that you leave her Rosie cries a lot

Rosie cries for the love that she sees wastin' away
But all of her teardrops won't wash the lonely away
And she's drownin' her soul for the promise you made yesterday
That you forgot
When you're not at home she's waitin' alone Rosie cries a lot

Rosie cries for the love that she sees wastin' away...

I'll Never Play That Memory Again

Rory Bourke - Gayle Barnhill

© Unichappell Music, BMI / Chappell Co, ASCAP

The man just changed the records on the jukebox
And took away the song we used to play a lot
He said that it was worn out and won't play anymore
Now my memory of you just walked out the door

I'll never play that memory again
I've lost all the world that we lived in
I relived our love affair with each time that I've got in
But I'll never play that memory again
[ instrumental ]
All that I had left of us was our song
And I sat here alone and played it all night long
Now it makes me kinda wonder what I'll be livin' for
Since my memory of you just walked out the door

I'll never play that memory again...
Well I'll never play that memory again

Baby's Blue

Rory Bourke - Gayle Barnhill

© Milene Music, ASCAP

Baby's blue eyes baby's blue gown
Baby's blue teardrops fall to the ground
Baby's new love made baby blue
Don't cry baby I still love you

Baby I saw the writing on the wall
When he walked away with you
Baby they say that love conquers all
But look at you now baby blue

Baby's blue eyes baby's blue gown...

Behind Closed Doors

Kenny O'Dell

© House Of Gold Music, BMI

My babe makes me proud Lord don't she makes me proud
She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd
Cause people like to talk Lord don't they love to talk
But when they turn out the lights I know she'll be leaving with me

And when we get behind closed doors
Then she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
[ instrumental ]
My baby makes me smile Lord don't she make me smile
She's never far away or too tired to say I want you
She's always a lady just like the lady should be
But when they turn out the lights she's still a baby to me

And when we get behind closed doors...

Old Dogs Children And Watermelon Wine

Tom T. Hall

© Hallnote Music, BMI

How old do you think I am he said I said well I didn't know
He said I turned sixty-five about eleven months ago
I was sittin' in Miami pourin' blended whiskey down
When this old grey black gentleman was cleanin' up the lounge

There wasn't anyone around cept this old man and me
The guy who ran the bar was watchin' Ironsides on TV
Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind
Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine

Ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked
He told me all about it though I didn't answer back
Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime
But old dogs and children and watermelon wine

He said women think about theyselves when menfolk ain't around
And friends they're hard to find when they discover that you're down
He said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime
Now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine

Old dogs care about you even when you make mistake
God bless little children while they're still too young to hate
He moved away I found my pen and copied down that line
Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine
[ instrumental ]
I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day
As I left for my room I saw him pickin' up my change
That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime
Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine
