Rocky Top

Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant

© House Of Bryant, BMI

Wish that I was on ole Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke up on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills

Once I had a girl on ole Rocky Top
Half part bear the other part cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that

Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top Rocky Top Tennessee
Rocky Top Tennessee
[ instrumental ]
Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from ol' Rocky Top
Reckon they never will

Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar

Rocky Top you'll always be...
[ instrumental ]
Rocky Top you'll always be...
Rocky Top Tennessee

I'll Get Over Losing You

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

The pain the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losin' you

I just can't seem to realize
You're leavin' me today
As burning teardrops fill my eyes
I watch you walk away

The pain the pain of a broken heart...
[ instrumental ]
I lost my love I lost my home
I just can't seem to win
If I get over losin' you
I'll never love again

The pain the pain of a broken heart...

Up Comes The Bottle (Down Goes The Man)

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down down down goes the man

You may find him anywhere there's heartache and despair
With loneliness so heavy you can feel it in the air
And the only thing that matters is the drink in his hand
Then up comes the bottle and down down down goes the man

You can read between the lines of his withered face
See defeat in his eyes that keeps searchin' every place
Just when he tells you he can quit you see the tremble in his hand
Then up comes the bottle and down down down goes the man

Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
There's just one thing can stop him
The love of my woman is all that can
For he loves her you see but she left him for me
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down down down goes the man

You And Your Sweet Love

Bill Anderson

© Stallion Music, BMI

I wish you only knew
All the days I've made it through
Because of you and your sweet love
I wish that I could count the times
Peace and comfort filled my mind
Because of you and your sweet love

You're what keeps me going the sun that lights my sky
The rose that blooms in winter the rain that cools July
Ah never try to tell me that it wasn't God above
That sent me you and your sweet love
[ instrumental ]
Almost every night it seems
You come walkin' through my dreams
Precious you and your sweet love
And tonight though we're apart
There's a fullness in my heart
Thanks to you and your sweet love

You're the rock I cling to the star I wish upon
The water in my desert the anchor in my storm
Never try to tell me that it wasn't God above
That sent me you and your sweet love
Precious you and your sweet love

Will You Visit Me On Sundays

Dallas Frazier

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

Just outside these prison bars the hangin' tree is waiting
At sunrise I'll meet darkness and death will say hello
Darling touch your lips to mine and tell me that you love me
And promise me again before you go

Will you visit me on Sundays will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling would I hear your footsteps up there
[ instrumental ]
Promise me that time won't seperate me from your mem'ry
That you'll remember me until the days of silver hair
If not for you I know I'd lose my mind before the morning
Hold me close and tell me that you care

Will you visit me on Sundays will you bring me pretty flowers...

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain

Fred Rose

© Milene Music, ASCAP

In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
As we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
[ instrumental ]
Now my hair has turned to silver
All my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Some day when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Reuben James

Alex Harvey - Barry Etris

© Unart Music, BMI

Reuben James in my song you'll live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you Reuben James

Reuben James all the folks around Madison Caunty cussed your name
Just a no count sharecroppin' colored man
Who'd steal anything that he can
And they always laid the blame on Reuben James

Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

Flora Gray the gossip of Madison County died with the child
And although your skin was black
You were the one who didn't turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name Reuben James

Reuben James with your mind on my soul and Bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
There's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my mind these words remain from Reuben James

Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind...

Reuben James one cold dark day they brought you from the fields
And that lonely pinebox came
Just a preacher me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for Reuben James

Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind...

I Never Once Stopped Loving You

Bill Anderson - Jan Howard

© Stallion Music, BMI

The nights were dark and long I spent a million all alone
But I never once stopped lovin' you
My world was cold and still my dreams lay unfulfill
But I never once stopped lovin' you

I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped lovin' you
[ instrumental ]
I could have loved another but I chose the way and suffered
For I never once stopped lovin' you
And I prayed to God to guide you till I could be beside you
And I never once stopped lovin' you

I never once stopped believing...

The Rose

L.E. White - Betty Jo White

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

Just two kids from the country far from any town
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose

Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose

So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl from off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me

I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose

I'm So Used To Loving You

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

I'm so used to lovin' you sweetheart
You're on my mind each minute we're apart
And I love you more each day that we go through
Yes you're my life and I'll live it lovin' you

I'm so used to lovin' you it seems
I can't stand the thought of losin' you not even in my dreams
Hold me close and tell me what I'd do without you
I couldn't stand it I'm so used to lovin' you
[ instrumental ]
I'm so used to the little things you say
Like hello darlin' did you have a busy day
And the way you hold me close when day is through
Yes you're my love and I'll love it lovin' you

I'm so used to lovin' you it seems...

Hello Darlin'

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

Hello darlin' nice to see you it's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be
How's your new love are you happy hope you're doin' fine
Just to know it means so much to me

What's that darlin' how'm I doin' guess I'm doin' all right
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn
What I'm trying to say is I love you and I miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong

Look up darlin' let me kiss you just for old time sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time
Thank you darlin' may God bless you and may each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find

Goodbye darlin' gotta go now gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries of a love so warm and true
And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me
Come back darlin' I'll be waiting for you
