Second Hand Rose (Second Hand Heart)

Harlan Howard - Grant Clarke - James Hanley

© Tree Pub, BMI

Second hand shoes second hand clothes
They all call her second hand rose
They all think they're pretty smart
But rose don't have a second hand heart

I know a little girl who lives across the way
I go to see her nearly every day
But when I get the money I'll take her far away
And they can't gather around her and say

Second hand shoes second hand clothes...
[ instrumental ]
Second hand shoes second hand clothes...

They tease her about her clothes and things
How could anybody be so mean
But when I get the money I'll buy her the best
I'll take rose you can have all the rest

Second hand shoes second hand clothes...

It Keeps Right On A Hurtin'

Johnny Tillotson

And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone

I cry myself to sleep each night wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
The pillow where you lay your head now holds my lonely tears instead
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone

It keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone

They say a man should never cry but when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
You broke my heart and set me free but you forgot your memories
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone

I Can't Stop Loving You

Don Gibson

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's so needless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
So long ago still makes me blue
They say that time heels the broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you...

She Thinks I Still Care

Dickey Lee - Steve Duffy

© Jack Music, BMI

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers there
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care

But if she's happy thinking I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
Oh how could she be so foolish
Where could she get such an idea

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just bacause I saw her then I fell to pieces
She thinks I still care she thinks I still care

On And On And On

Bill Anderson

© Champion Music, BMI

And this loneliness goes on and on and on

All the things come to an end yes that means we'll never love again
The end of our love the end of my dreams the end of almost everything it seems
Except these heartaches these teardrops
And this loneliness goes on and on and on

On and on and on as if there were no tomorrow
As if the night had come to stay and there would be no dawn
Love has stopped time has stopped it seems the whole wide world has stopped
Except these heartaches these teardrops
And this loneliness goes on and on and on
And this loneliness goes on and on and on

Silver Threads And Golden Needles

Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds

© Central Songs, BMI

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
But you think I should be happy with your money and your fame
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game

I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised beneath the halo'd moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your fame
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' games
[ instrumental ]
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

Ramblin' Rose

Noel Sherman - Joe Sherman

Ramblin' rose ramblin' rose why you ramble no one knows
Hear the wind blown that's how you've grown who can cling to a ramblin' rose

Ramble on ramble on when you're ramblin' days are gone
Who will love you with a love true when you're ramblin' days are gone
[ instrumental ]
Ramblin' rose ramblin' rose why I want you heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true who can cling to a ramblin' rose

Ramblin' rose ramblin' rose why you ramble no one knows...
Ramble on ramble on...

From A Jack To A King

Ned Miller

From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen and walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king with no regret I stackled the cards last night
And Lady Luck played her hand just right to make me king of your heart

For just a little while I thought I might lose again
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen you made me king of your heart
[ instrumental ]
For just a little while I thought I might lose again...

I Really Don't Want To Know

Don Robertson - Howard Barnes

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

How many arms have held you and hated to let you go
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
How many lips have kissed you and set your soul aglow
How many oh how many I wonder but I really don't want to know

Always make me wonder always make me guess
And even if I ask you darling don't confess
Oh just let it remain me your secret cause darling I love you so
No wonder no no wonder I wonder but I really don't want to know

City Lights

Bill Anderson

© TNT Music, BMI

The bright array of city lights as far as I can see
The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me
The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite
A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights

Lights that say forget her name in a glass of cherry wine
Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine
They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright
But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights
[ instrumental ]
Lights that say forget her love in a different athmosphere
Lights that lure are nothing but a masquarade for tears
They paint a pretty picture but my arms can't hold you tight
And I just can't say I love you to a street of city lights

Roses Are Red (My Love)

Paul Evans - Al Byron

© Port Music, ASCAP

Roses are red my love violets are blue
Sugar is sweet my love but not as sweet as you

A long long time ago on graduation day
You handed me your book I signed this way

Roses are red my love violets are blue...

We dated through high school and when the big day came
I wrote into your book next to my name

Roses are red my love violets are blue...

Then I went far away and you found somebody new
I read your letter dear and wrote back to you

Roses are red my love violets are blue
Sugar is sweet my love good luck may God bless you

Is that your little girl she looks a lot like you
Some day some boy will write in her book too

Cotton Fields

Huddie Ledbetter

© Folkways Music, BMI

When I was a little bitty baby my mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home
When I was a little bitty baby my mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home

Now when them cotton bowls get rotten you can't pick very much cotton
In them old cottonfields back home
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cottonfields back home
