Louisiana Saturday Night

Well you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow
Kick off your shoes and you throw 'em in the floor
Dance in the kitchen till the morning light
Louisiana Saturday night

A waitin' in the front yard sittin' on a log
Single shot rifle and a one eyed dog
Yonder come a kin folks in the moonlight
Louisiana Saturday night

Well you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow...
[ instrumental ]
My brother Bill and my other brother Jack
Belly full of beer and a possum in a sack
Fifteen kids in front porch light
Louisiana Saturday night

When the kin folks leave and the kids get fed
Me and my woman gonna slip off to bed
Have a little fun when we turn out the lights
Louisiana Saturday night

Well you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow...
Yeah you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow...
[ instrumental ]
Git down the fiddle and you git down the bow...

If I Keep On Going Crazy

Roger Murrah - Jim McBride

© Blackwood Music, BMI

If I keep on going crazy I'll get there by and by
It's the only place that I can go and get you off my mind
Oh and gettin' there's so easy I don't even have to try
Cause if I keep on going crazy I'll get there by and by

They found me standing in a depot in Boulder Colorado
Calling some strange lady by your name
They said I tried to trade her Kansas for a ring that she was wearing
But if I did I don't recall a thing

If I keep on going crazy I'll get there by and by...

A week before in Tallahassee they say I commandeered a taxi
And drove that driver clear to Silver Springs
They said I told him how you left me and he tried not to upset me
Anymore my life is seeming awful strange

And if I keep on going crazy I'll get there by and by...
If I keep on going crazy I'll get there by and by...
Yeah if I keep on going crazy I'll get there by and by...

Right In The Palm Of Your Hand

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

A willing woman a williang man
A five room house and a wedding band
Believers believers
Once it begins you know it don't take long
Till you're like two people in a heartbreak song
And I wonder I wonder

Well ain't it just like a woman ain't it just like a man
Chasing a rainbow looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand
When it's right in the palm of your hand

We can't take back those things we said
So we watch it pass in separate beds
We're changing changing
Too little love and too much pride
You won't give in and neither will I
Like children children

Well ain't it just like a woman ain't it just like a man...

Feet on the floor holding my head
Sittin' alone on the edge of the bed
I been thinking thinking
Tryin' to find where we went wrong
I just turned around you were gone
It's over it's over

Well ain't it just like a woman ain't it just like a man...
Oh ain't it just like a woman ain't it just like a man...

Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed

Danny Hogan - Frank Newberry

© Partner Music, BMI

Bright city lights night after night
Bartenders with half hearted smiles
And misty eyed ladies in loud smoky places
Trying to forget for a while

No way under the sun to undo what's been done
And leaving has proved me a fool
And those picturesque dreams aren't quiet what they seem
And I find myself still missing you

Oh who's been sleeping in my bed tonight
Does he whisper the things that I said
And I've been wondering too does he satisfy you
Or do you wish it were me there instead

Now it's a quarter till three no one here but me
And the waitress said last call for beer
Lord I sure tried to drink enough not to think
But I still can't choke back all the tears

Oh who's been sleeping in my bed tonight...
Lord I wish it were me there instead

Cold Hard Facts Of Love

Mel McDaniel

© Music City Music, ASCAP

Oh I try to hide my feelings keep my emotions in control
The tears out of my eyes and my poor heart out of the cold
But I'm walkin' around in a foggy haze a man victim of
Empty nights and lonely days the cold hard facts of love

Oh the cold hard facts of love are haunting and making me old
Learned about cheatin' and doin' wrong and all the lies that I told
She taught me how to love laugh and cry like a fool I said goodbye
To love love love damn the loser in my soul
[ instrumental ]
Lord now ain't it a pity this is the way it's gotta be
Whiskey not wine for my body and mind and lonesome for company
Singin' the blues to my broken heart cause I know her love is gone
She's taken me back many times before but this time I's just gone too long

Oh the cold hard facts of love are haunting and making me old...

She taught me how to love laugh and cry like a fool I said goodbye
To love love love damn the loser in my soul

Countryfied

Ronny Scaife - Danny Hogan

© Partner Music, BMI

Lookin' at a frog eatin' up my fishbait sittin' on the bank of a riverside
Took a little drink from a jug of moonshine didn't have a chaser and almost died
Thinkin' bout workin' on Monday mornin' never can wait till quittin' time
Just to git down to the water and to wet my fishin' line

Well I'm countryfied I like my chicken fried
I like to walk barefooted through the country side
Well I'm country folk I like to roll my smokes
I love to hear a fiddle playin' Cotton Eyed Joe
[ instrumental ]
Never been much on conversation and they say I'm hell when I get tight
Love to git out my old coondog and shine up a few at night
Like to sit around my campfire and hear old blue at work
Runnin' them cage of critters for everything he's worth

Well I'm countryfied I like my chicken fried...
[ instrumental ]
I like to sit down with my woman watch TV after suppertime
Snuggle real close together cause she knows how to ease my mind
Talk about days when we were younger think about days when we get old
Like the lazy days of summer we like to watch the fallin' snow

Well I'm countryfied I like my chicken fried...

Ten Years Three Kids Two Loves Too Late

Roger Murrah - Jim McBride

© Blackwood Music, BMI

You sure have two pretty girls they look a lot like you
Here's a picture of my boy we took the day he started school
I can't believe you're standing here it's been a long long time
You know just the other day you were on my mind

I'm glad you found a good man cause you deserve the best
It's good to see you happy looks like we've both been blessed
Still I wish that I could hold you one more time for old time sake
Wish I could touch the memory that just won't go away

But it's ten years three kids and two loves too late
And I know that just one little touch would be a big mistake
I can't stir the ashes cause I may start a flame
Ten years three kids and two loves too late

Yes it's ten years three kids and two loves too late...

Goodbye Marie

Dennis Linde - Mel McDaniel

© Combine Music, BMI

I woke up this mornin' all cotton mouthed from drinkin'
Wonderin' how I'd make it through the day
Wild eyed and crazy all burnt out from thinkin'
Wonderin' how the hell I'm gonna say

Oh goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway calling me
It's been fun Marie but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie

Oh wakin' up beside you in the Tijuana morning
With that ocean breeze to keep us cool
Oh three weeks of lovin' twenty one nights of heaven
I stayed just long enough to be your fool

Oh goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie...

Por favor pour me one more tequila
I need all the courage I can find
Cause this time tomorrow I'll be back in Houston
Thinkin' about the girl I left behind

Oh goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie...

My Ship's Comin' In

Danny Hogan - Henry Carter - Randy Wilkes

© Partner Music, BMI

They say the sun doesn't shine on the same folks all the time
I can feel the storm is comin' to an end
And I'm finally realizin' out there on the horizon
I can see the sails of my ship comin' in

I've been a dreamer most of my life never gave up without a good fight
Life keeps gettin' me up and lettin' me down
I've made honky tonks and bars driven old and brand new cars
And a sweet young thing could always turn me around

I've seen times when I've been broke watch my pay go up in smoke
But I've had a taste of how it feels to win
I've been down on my luck bought a beer with my last buck
Just knowin' lady luck would call again

They say the sun doesn't shine on the same folks all the time...

Now the years have taken their toll makin' maney's makin' me old
But now my ship is laden down with gold
I'm an overnight sensation twenty years of dedication
But now I need someone at night to hold me close

They say the sun doesn't shine on the same folks all the time
I can see the face of love in the wind
And I'm finally realizin' out there on the horizon
I can see the sails of my ship comin' in

Oh I'm finally realizin' out there on the horizon
I can see the sails of my ship comin' in

Hello Daddy Good Morning Darling

Roger Murrah - Keith Stegall - Scott Anders

© Blackwood Music, BMI

It's another night alone I'm just a face in the crowd
I can't hear for the laughter and the music playing loud
We're all here for a good time they don't know what a good time is
I can't believe I traded hello daddy and good morning darling for this

We're just a room full of strangers looking for some company
But who would want to get acquainted with a fool like me
I had a love of the lifetime now it's the love I miss
I can't believe that I traded it hello daddy and good morning darling for this

Hello daddy were the words my baby told me
And I still can hear 'em ringing in my heart
Good morning darling were the words that used to wake me
When I'd be layin' in her arms and I still miss her kiss
I can't believe I traded it hello daddy and good morning darling for this

Outside a brand new day is dawning as the real world rolls around
We all sit beside the jukebox watch our neon sun go down
I've got my mind on a mem'ry that I never will forget
I can't believe I traded it hello daddy and good morning darling for this

Hello daddy were the words my baby told me...
I can't believe I traded it hello daddy and good morning darling for this
