Brown Skinned Gal (With Narration)

Merle Haggard - Bob Wills

© Tree Pub, BMI

About the time the late and great Jimmie Rodgers career came to an end
Another young fella by the name of Bob Wills
Was makin' preparations unknowingly to become a legend in his own time
Somewhere round about 1934
He formed the group called the Texas Playboys
With the help of some of these original musicians
On this album we're gonna try to turn back the pages of time
And recapture some of the great sounds of the legendary Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys

Right Or Wrong

© E.H. Morris Co, ASCAP

Right or wrong I'll always love you
Though you're gone I can't forget
Right or wrong I'll keep on dreaming
Till I wake with that same old regret

All along I knew I'd lose you
Still I prayed that you'd be true
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong I'm still in love with you
[ instrumental ]
Right or wrong I'll always love you...

Brain Cloudy Blues

Bob Wills - Tommy Duncan

© Bourne Co, ASCAP

My brain is cloudy my soul is upside down
Lord my brain is cloudy my soul is upside down
When I get the slow down feelin' I know the blues must be someplace around
Well you gotta treat me right honey day by day

Get out your little prayer book get upon your knees and pray
You're gonna need you're gonna need my love someday
And you're goin' to be sorry oh you treated me this way
[ instrumental ]
Well good evenin' don't that sun look good goin' down
I said well good evenin' don't that sun look good goin' down
And don't your home look lonesome when your lover ain't no place around
Well I tried everything baby to get along with you
Now I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna stop my cryin' and leave you alone
You don't believe I need it you can't count the days I'm gone
Cause you're gonna need you're gonna need my love someday
And Lord you're goin' to be sorry oh you treated me this way

Stay A Little Longer

Bob Wills - Tommy Duncan

© Red River Songs, BMI

Biff you on the drums and Dennis you on the bass
When I count this off you all give me a Texas Playboys type rhythm okay
One two three four
Gather round friends why hurry let's all stay a little longer
[ instrumental ]
You ought to see my blue eyed Sally
She lives way down on Shinbone Alley
Number on the gate the number on the door
The next house over is the grocery store

Stay all night stay a little longer
Dance all night dance a little longer
Pull off your coat throw it in the corner
Don't see why you don't stay a little longer
[ instrumental ]
Can't go home if you're goin' by the mill
Cause the bridge's washed out at the bottom of the hill
Big Creek's up Little Creek's level
Plow my corn with a double shovel

Stay all night stay a little longer...
[ guitar ]
Sittin' in the window singin' to my love
Slop bucket fell from the window up above
Mule and the grasshopper eatin' ice cream
Mule got sick so they laid him on the green

Stay all night stay a little longer...
[ instrumental ]
Grab your gal and pat her on the head
If she don't like biscuits feed her cornbread
Girls around Big Creek bout half grown
Jump on a man like a dog on a bone

Stay all night stay a little longer...
[ instrumental ]
Stay all night stay a little longer...

Misery

Bob Wills - Tommy Duncan - Tiny Moore

© Unichappell Music, BMI

Johnny Lee if you’ll get the banjo there I'm gonna try to do Tommy Duncan's part
And Eldon and Tiny and Roy you kick me off on an old thing called Misery
Two three four
[ instrumental ]
Went to bed last night wasn't sleeping
Wondering what's happening to me
You took my heart and left me lonely
Now I've got nothing left but misery

Wondering if you have found another
Love brings no consolation to my heart
Some of these days you'll be sorry
That you fill my heart with misery
[ instrumental ]
Some of these days you'll be sorry
That you fill my heart with misery misery

Time Changes Everything

Tommy Duncan

© Red River Songs, BMI

There was a time when I thought of no other
And we sang our own love's refrain
Our hearts beat as one and we had our fun
But time changes everything

When you left me my poor heart was broken
Our romance it seemed all in vain
The dark clouds are gone and there's blue skies again
Cause time changes everything
[ instrumental ]
Time has passed I've forgot you
Mother nature does wonderful things
I guess that it's true for me and for you
Cause time changes everything

You can change the name of an old song
Rearrange it and make it a swing
I thought nothing could stop me from loving you
But time changes everything
[ instrumental ]
Good luck to you may God bless you
I can't say I won't love again
But you've gone your way and now I'll go mine
Cause time changes everything

San Antonio Rose

Bob Wills

© Bourne Co, ASCAP

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I lived with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone

It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still here's my broken song of love

Moon and all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my Rose Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love my own

Oh broken song empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And rose my Rose of San Antone
[ instrumental ]

I Knew The Moment I Lost You

Bob Wills - Tommy Duncan

© Red River Songs, BMI

A man may have his trials and tribulations
And at times he'll feel so low and so blue
But from now on I will be entirely different
And I knew the moment I lost you

Due to all my worries and my disappointments
There is still a little light shining through
Still within my heart I know there is another
And I knew the moment I lost you
[ instrumental ]
There is nothing we can do to get along
Now that's been proved unto me and to you
So why not let's be fair to each other
For I knew the moment I lost you

If there's something I have done you've not forgiven
Just remember that I'm human same as you
Why not let's consider our mistakes dear
For I knew the moment I lost you

Roly Poly

Fred Rose

Hey Roly Poly eatin' corn and taters
Hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly gnawin' all the biscuits
Long as he can chew it it's okay

He can eat an apple pie
And never even bat an eye
He likes everything from a soup to hay
Roly Poly daddy's little fatty
And he's gonna be a man someday
[ instrumental ]
Roly Poly scrambled eggs for breakfast
Bread and jelly twenty times a day
Roly Poly eats a hearty dinner
It takes lots of strength to run and play

Pulls up weeds and does the chores
Run both ways to all the stores
He wears up that appetite that way
Roly Poly daddy's little fatty
But he's gonna be a man someday

Old Fashioned Love

Cecil Mack - James Johnson

© WB Music, ASCAP

Got that old fashioned love in my heart
And there it will always remain
Like an ivy clinging vine clinging closer all the time
Through these years and these tears just the same

Got that old fashioned fate in my heart
And nothing can tear us apart
Dry land may turn to sea but there'll be no change in me
Got that old fashioned love in my heart
[ instrumental ]
Got that old fashioned love in my heart...

Corrine Corrina

© Mills Music, ASCAP

I love Corrina tell the world I do
I love Corrina tell the world I do
Just a little more lovin' makes your heart beat true
[ instrumental ]
Corrine Corrina where you been so long
Corrine Corrina where you been so long
Ain't had no lovin' since you been gone
[ instrumental ]
Corrine Corrina where you stayed last night
Corrine Corrina where you stayed last night
Came home this morning sun was shinin' bright
[ instrumental ]
Goodbye Corrina this is fare thee well
Goodbye Corrina this is fare thee well
When I get back babe Lord you never can tell

Take Me Back To Tulsa

Bob Wills - Tommy Duncan

© Red River Songs, BMI

Where's that gal with red dress on some folks called her Dinah
Stole my heart away from me way down in Louisiana

Take me back to Tulsa I'm too young to marry
Take me back to Tulsa I'm too young to marry
[ instrumental ]
Little bee sucks the blossom big bee makes the honey
Poor man raise the cotton poor man makes the money

Take me back to Tulsa I'm too young to marry...
[ instrumental ]
Walk and talk to Suzy walk and talk to Suzy
Walk and talk to Suzy walk and talk to Suzy

Take me back to Tulsa I'm too young to marry...
[ instrumental ]
We always wear a great big smile we never do look sour
Travel all over the country playing by the hour

Take me back to Tulsa I'm too young to marry...
[ instrumental ]
Take me back to Tulsa I'm too young to marry...
