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

Just For You

Curly Putman - Larry Butler

© Tree Pub, BMI

Just for you just for you
That's why I say the things I say and I do the things I do
No one else can make my arms feel like they're wrapped around the world
Yes I live my life just for you

Each day I wake up with a kiss just for you
And I count my many blessings and I thank the Lord for you
And each minute of the day I live a dream that has come true
Yes I live my life just for you

Just for you just for you...

Gone

Smokey Rodgers

© Dallas Music, BMI

Since you've gone the moon the sun the stars in the sky
Know the reason why I cry
Love divine once was mine now you've gone
Since you've gone my heart my lips my tear dimmed eyes
A lonely soul within me cries
I acted smart broke your heart now you've gone

Oh what I'd give for the lifetime I've wasted
The love that I've tasted I was wrong now you've gone
[ instrumental ]
Oh what I'd give for the lifetime...

True True Lovin'

Chuck Taylor - Gerald Nelson

© Coach And Four Music, BMI

He can give you money he can give you fine things
Take you to expensive cafes decorate your hands with rings

But he can't give you true true lovin' true true true lovin'
True true lovin' the kind you get from me

He can promise you riches he can show you the world
But his money can't buy everything so stop and think little girl

He'll never give you true true lovin' true true true lovin'...

Big tears fall down like when a baby cries and baby I'm cryin' for you
I'll be right here when his love runs out yes baby I'm waiting for you

And I can give you true true lovin' true true true lovin'...

Stand Up

Cliff Crofford

© Central Songs, BMI

Stand up if you've ever had the feelin'
Stand up yes and let yourself be counted
Stand up and everybody shout it
Stand up stand up by me

Well I just got laid off a job
I went for my unemployment claim
The man said I didn't qualify
Come back a year from today

Stand up if you've ever had the feelin'...

Stand up if you've ever had the feelin'...

Well I just got married last week
The biggest wedding you ever saw
She gave me another family
Ten brothers and a mother-in-law

Stand up if you've ever had the feelin'...
Stand up if you've ever had the feelin'...
Stand up if you've ever had the feelin'...

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

I Could Sing All Night

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...

Wings Of A Dove

Bob Ferguson

© Bee Gee Music, BMI

On the wings of a snow white dove
He sends his pure sweet love
The signs from above on the wings of a dove

When troubles surround us when evils come
The body grows weak the spirit grows numb
When these things beset us he doesn't forget us
He sends down his love on the wings of a dove

On the wings of a snow white dove...

When Noah has drifted on the flood many days
He searched for land in various ways
Troubles he had some but wasn't forgotten
He sent him his love on the wings of a dove

On the wings of a snow white dove...
On the wings of a snow white dove...
On the wings of a dove on the wings of a dove

Timber I'm Falling

Ferlin Husky - Dalton Timbur

© Husky Music, BMI

(Timber timber)

Timber I'm falling true love is calling
Timber I'm falling in love with you
Well timber I'm falling true love is calling
Timber I'm falling in love with you

Well you're my little baby I don't mean maybe
You've got me wearing my brand new shoes
I like your walking I like your talking
Good morning sunshine and goodbye blues

Well timber I'm falling true love is calling...
[ instrumental ]
Timber I'm falling true love is calling...

Well I'll ask your mama I'll ask your papa
If they will give me their daughter's hand
Well you've got the honey I've got the money
Two dollars cash and the preacher man

Well timber I'm falling true love is calling...
Said timber I'm falling true love is calling...
Timber timber timber
