If You've Got The Money (I've Got The Time)

Lefty Frizzell - Jim Beck

© Peer Int, BMI

If you've got the money I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
We'll make all the night spots dance drink beer and wine
If you've got the money honey I've got the time
[ instrumental ]
There ain't no use to tarry so let's start out tonight
We'll spread joy oh boy oh boy and we'll spread it right
We'll have more fun baby all way down the line
If you've got the money honey I've got the time
[ instrumental ]
If you've got the money I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
Bring along your Cadillac leave my old wreck behind
If you've got the money honey I've got the time
[ instrumental ]
Yes we'll go honky tonkin' make every club in town
We'll go to the park where it's dark we won't fool around
But if you run short of money I'll run short of time
Cause you with no more money honey I've no more time
[ instrumental ]
If you've got the money I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
We'll make all the night spots dance drink beer and wine
If you've got the money honey I've got the time

I Want To Be With You Always

Lefty Frizzell - Jim Beck

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

I lose my blues honey when I'm with you
No one else can do you're in my heart to stay
But when I'm gone and I'm all alone
I'll be singing this song I want to be with you always
[ instrumental ]
I'd be happy dear if you could only be here
And always be near forever and a day
Then we'll travel far to some big shining star
Just you and my guitar and stay that sweethearts for always
[ instrumental ]
I hope you feel the same you really want my name
Well you'll be the one who's to blame it works out wrong that day
Cause my love is true my love is only for you
I'll never be blue if I can be with you always

Always late with your kisses
Won't you come to my arms sweet darling and stay
Always late with your kisses
Why oh why do you want to do me this way

How long do you think I can wait
When you know you're always late
Always late with your kisses
Why oh why do you want to do me this way
[ instrumental ]
Always late with your kisses...

Lefty Frizzell - Ian Sutherland

Please don't stay away so long darling
I love you dear with all my soul
And sweetheart there can never be no parting
If you won't stay away till love grows cold

We'll share all kinds of weather the rain the sun the cold
If we can always be together our love just can't grow old
So please don't stay away so long darling
Don't stay away till love grows cold
[ instrumental ]
We'll share all kinds of weather the rain the sun the cold...

Mom And Dad's Waltz

Lefty Frizzell

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I love them I want them to know
Now I feel my love is real for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so

In my heart joy tear starts cause I'm happy
And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night
I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so
[ instrumental ]
I'd fight in wars do all the chores for my mama and daddy
I want them to live on till they're called
I'd work and slave and never rave to my mama and daddy
Because I know I owe them my all

In my heart joy tear starts cause I'm happy...
I love them so

I Love You A Thousand Ways

Lefty Frizzell - Jim Beck

© Peer Int, BMI

I love you I'll prove it in days to come
I swear it's true darling you're the only one
I think of you of the past and all our fun
I love you I'll prove it in days to come

You're my darling you've been true
I should have been good to you
You're the one that's in my heart
While we're apart

I'll be true I'll prove it to you some day
I love you in my heart you'll always stay
I've been so blue and lonesome all these days
I love you I'll prove it a thousand ways
[ instrumental ]
I'll be nice and sweet to you and no more will you be blue
I'll prove I love you every day all kinds of ways
So darling please wait please wait until I'm free
There'll be a change a great change made in me

I'll be true there'll never be blue days
I love you I'll prove it a thousand ways

Look What Thoughts Will Do

Lefty Frizzell - Jim Beck - Dub Dickerson

© Peer Int, BMI

Once I thought I loved just you and I thought you loved me too
But just look what thoughts will do for today you say we're through
Now another wears the crown and you think that you have found
Just what makes your world go round watch those thoughts they'll get you down
[ instrumental ]
If within your future years your new love should bring you tears
Then you'll think of me I'm sure but those thoughts won't help you dear
Thought I'd build a home for two just a home for me and you
Thought we'd have some kiddies too but just look what thoughts will do
[ instrumental ]
Now I know just how you feel that your love was never real
Guess to you I don't appeal so we'll just forget the deal
So goodbye and here's to you and I'm happy through and through
Yes you thought that I'd be blue but just look what thoughts will do
