Walkin' To New Orleans

Antonio Domino - Dave Bartholomew - Robert Guirdy

© Travis Music, BMI

This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm gonna need two pair of shoes
When I get through walkin' these blues
When I get back to New Orleans

I've got my suitcase in my hand
Now ain't that a shame
I'm leavin' here today
Yes I'm goin' back home to stay
Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans
(Walkin' to New Orleans)

(Walkin' to New Orleans)

You used to be my honey
Till you spent all my money
No use for you to cry
I'll see you by and by
Cause I'm walkin' to New Orleans

I've got no time for talkin' (got no time for talkin')
I've got to keep a walkin' (got to keep a walkin')
New Orleans is my home
That's the reason why I'm goin'
Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans

I'm walkin' to New Orleans (walkin' to New Orleans)
I'm walkin' to New Orleans (walkin' to New Orleans)
I'm walkin' to New Orleans (walkin' to New Orleans)
I'm walkin' to New Orleans (walkin' to New Orleans)

Sweet Dreams

Don Gibson

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of havin' sweet dreams about you

You don't love me it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of havin' sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past start lovin' someone new
Instead of havin' sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams about you

North To Alaska

Tillman Franks - Mike Phillips

© Robbins Music, ASCAP

(Way up north north to Alaska way up north north to Alaska
North to Alaska go north the rush is on)

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon River and found the Bonanza gold
Just below that ole White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome

Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow
With the northern lights were a runnin' wild in the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of '91

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

(Way up north north to Alaska way up north north to Alaska)
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam you're a lookin' at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jeannie's hand

Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jeannie a honeymoon home
Just below that ole White Mountain a little southeast of Nome

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

They'll Never Take Her Love From Me

Leon Payne

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smilin' face the Gods would see
Cause she'll walk along beside me up the golden stairs
Oh they'll never never take her love from me

What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave
And to see her love turn into sympathy
It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave
Oh they'll never never take her love from me
[ steel ]
I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
That we shared together in the used to be
Someone else's arms may hold her now in fond caress
But they'll never never take her love from me

I thought I'd make her happy if I stepped aside
But I knew her love would never set me free
And even on the day that she became another's bride
I said they'll never never take her love from me
No they'll never never take her love from me

Blueberry Hill

Al Lewis - Larry Stock - Vincent Rose

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made were never to be
Though we're apart you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willows played love's sweet melody...

Night Train To Memphis

Beasley Smith - Marvin Hughes - Owen Bradley

© Peer Int, BMI

Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
And when you arrive at the station
I'll be right there to meet you I'll be right there to greet you
So don't turn down my invitation

Hallelujah hallelujah
I'll be shoutin' hallelujah all the day
Oh we gonna have a jubilee down in Memphis Tennessee
And I'll shout hallelujah all the day

(Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
You know how we're longin' to see you)
Leave at 3-50-7 arive here at eleven then I'll be shoutin' hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah...
[ instrumental ]
Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
Tell the engineer to pull that throttle open
Keep that engine stack a smokin' son I ain't kiddin' and I'm not jokin'
And I'll soon be with my girl and I'll be hopin'

Hallelujah hallelujah...
Yes I'll shout hallelujah all the day

Lonely Street

Carl Belew - Kenny Sowder - W.S. Stevenson

© Four Star Music, BMI

(Where's this place called Lonely Street)

I'm lookin' for that Lonely Street
I've got a sad sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called Lonely Street

It's a place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street

Perhaps upon that Lonely Street there's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams and watch an ole love die

Oh if I could find that Lonely Street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street

Perhaps upon that Lonely Street there's someone such as I...
Where's this place called Lonely Street Lonely Street

May You Never Be Alone

Hank Williams

© Fred Rose Music, BMI

(May you never be alone like me)

Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight
I'm alone and oh so blue tonight
And like a piece of driftwood on the sea
May you never be alone like me

I believed the lies you told to me
When you whispered dear I worship Thee
Now here am I all alone and blue
It's all because I love no one but you
[ strings ]
I gave up my friends I left my home
When you promised to be mine alone
But now you're gone our love can never be
May you never be alone like me

In the Bible God's own words do say
For every wrong someday you'll pay
I pray the Lord to set me free
May you never be alone like me
May you never be alone like me
(Alone like me)

Ain't That A Shame

Antonio Domino - Dave Bartholomew

© Travis Music, BMI

(Ain't that a shame you're the one to blame)

You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame my tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame you're the one to blame

You broke my heart when you said we'd part
Ain't that a shame my tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame you're the one to blame
[ guitar ]
(Ain't that a shame) my tears fell like rain
(Ain't that a shame)
you're the one to blame

Oh well goodbye although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame my tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame you're the one to blame

The Long Black Veil

Marijohn Wilkin - Danny Dill

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

The judge said son what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else maybe you won't have to die
I spoke not a word although it meant my life
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil...
Long black veil
