Play Guitar Play

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

Play guitar play take me back to yesterday
Let me see cotton growing in the fields
Let me hear my mama calling looky yonder y'all who's coming
Down the road he's coming home but they know I never will

I left them living with that awful thing I done
I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run

Play guitar play help me through another day
Help me make another dollar before I go
We got time for one more song then we'll have to move along
Another town another crowd Lord I wonder if they know

Can they read between the lines in my song
As I sing about a good boy that went wrong
Guitar we've got us to kill
We've got to climb that distant hill
I wonder if they think of me
(Guitar play)

The Letter

Conway Twitty - Charles Haney

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

Today I saw her for the first time since she left me
And she said I've got a favor to ask of ye
And I said all right what is it
And she said you know you always told me
If I ever needed any help
Just to ask you and you'd help me
And I said yeah I remember
And she said well there's this fellow that I've been goin' with
And I just found out he's been slippin' around me
And I thought that maybe if you'd write me a letter
And tell me that you miss me and that you still love me
That he may find it and it might greed it
And it might make him jealous and I might not lose it
And I said OK I'll write you the letter

Dear sweetheart just a line to let you know
That I still think about you and I still love you so
I remember your kisses and every time you held me tight
But most of all I remember the good times that we had each night
Dear sweetheart if you're lonely just let me know
For you're still my one and only and I still love you so
I'm gonna close for now sweetheart and try to go on without you
But don't forget I'll always love you no matter what you do
So now I've written the letter the way you asked me to
And I hope it makes him jealous the way you want it to
For I've told you I still love you and I wanna be with you
But you know sweetheart the saddest part
I'm not pretending for I still do

She's Some Kind Of Wonderful

John Ellison

© Dandelion Music, BMI

I don't need a whole lot of money I don't need a big fine car
I got everything that a man could want I got more that I could ask for
I don't have to run around I don't have to stay out all night
I got a sweet sweet lovin' woman and she know how to treat me right
Well my baby she's all right cause my baby's clean out of sight
Don't you know that she is some kind of wonderful
She's some kind of wonderful yes she is

When I hold her in my arms you know she sets my soul on fire
Ooh when my baby kisses me my heart becomes filled with desire
When she wraps her lovin' arms around me it drives me out of my mind
Yeah and when my baby kisses me it's chills me up on my spine
Well my baby she's all right cause my baby's clean out of sight
Don't you know that she is some kind of wonderful
She's some kind of wonderful yes she is
She's some kind of wonderful
[ instrumental ]
Now is there anybody got a sweet lovin' woman like mine
There gotta be somebody got a sweet lovin' woman like mine
Can I get a witness can I get a witness
Can I get a witness can I get a witness

A Song For Ruby

L.E. White - Aleene Jackson

© Tree Pub, BMI

Oh let's all sing a song for Ruby
Sing a song about what used to be
Let's all sing a song for Ruby
Ruby is a jewel to me

We've all sung a song about good times and some we did on the bet
There's one for Linda and Brenda and someone we can't forget
But there's one we forgot to remember she'll be the first to agree
Let's all sing a song for Ruby Ruby sang her song for me

So let's all sing a song for Ruby...
[ instrumental ]
You may find her down at Tootsie's or a honky tonk way across town
Or the Holiday Inn with some of her friends it might be that she might be found
Don't miss her show at the showcase she'll do it all for free
Let's all sing a song for Ruby Ruby sang her song for me

So let's all sing a song for Ruby...
So let's all sing a song for Ruby...
Oh let's all sing a song for Ruby...

Wolverton Mountain

Merle Kilgore - Claude King

© Painted Desert Music, BMI

They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
Cause ol' Clifton Clovers has a swingin' daughter
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
All them bears they tell ol' Clovers
If a stranger should inner there

All of my dreams are up on that mountain
I want his daughter for my wife
I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clovers he might take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Clifton Clovers protects her there
All them bears they tell ol' Clovers
If a stranger should inner there

I'm gonna go up on Wolverton Mountain
It's much too lonesome down here below
And it's just not right for him to hide his daughter
From me because yes because I love her so

Hey I don't care about Clifton Clovers
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain
I'm gonna take the girl I love
I don't care about Clifton Clovers
Never tried that old romance with
But I think I'm gonna chance it
And I'm gonna take the girl I love

I Can't Believe She Gives It All To Me

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

I pinch myself when I wake up each morning
Cause I'm constantly amazed when I see
Exactly everything I've always wanted
But I can't believe she gives it all to me

Lips that warm my face with morning kisses
Arms that reach to hold me tenderly
And love that always satisfies completely
But I can't believe she gives it all to me

She gives me more than any one man deserves
I who have everything am nothing without her
Somehow she knows I need her desperately
I can't believe she gives it all to me

Memphis Tennessee

Chuck Berry

© Arc Music, BMI

Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party try to get in touch with me
I could not have her number but I know who placed the call
My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Now help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who's called me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the southside high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from that Mississippi Bridge
[ instrumental ]
Last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
We were separated cause her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
[ instrumental ]
Oh help me operator more than this I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Oh Marie is only six years old information please
Try to get me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

One In A Million

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

I know you're tired a picking up the pieces of my life
And if the truth was known I'll bet you're tired of being my wife
And I know there's only so much hurt one girl can stand
And still go on believing in her man

But you're one in a million and you're mine
Heaven knows a girl like you is hard to find
And if I could only find the words I'd say
I love you a thousand million ways
[ instrumental ]
I know you know that I could never love no one but you
But that don't change the way you feel when I do the things I do
But I get by because you try so hard to understand
And to accept this weakness in your man

But you're one in a million and you're mine...

I Can't Help It If She Can't Stop Loving Me

Peggy Forman

© Hello Darlin' Music, SESAC

She slips your wedding band off of her trembling hand
While I wipe the teardrops off her face
I'm not stealing her from you just doing what she wants me to
And I can't help it if she can't stop loving me

I can't help it if she can't stop loving me
I can't stop her if that's where she wants to be
There must be something here she really needs
And I can't help it if she can't stop loving me
[ instrumental ]
Somehow she can't resist the warmth of my two lips
And how I used to hold her when she was mine
She's tried to close the door but keeps coming back for more
And I can't help it if she can't stop loving me

I can't help it if she can't stop loving me...

Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues

Danny O'Keefe

© Cotillion Music, BMI

Everybody's goin' away
Said they're movin' to LA
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town

Some caught a freight some caught a plane
Find the sunshine leave the rain
They said this town'll waste your time
I guess they're right it's wastin' mine

Some gotta win some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues

You know my heart keeps telling me
You're not a kid at forty-three
You play around you lose your wife
You play too long you lose your life

I'm hopin' time will ease the pain
Can't find a thing to ease the rain
I'd love to try and settle down
But everybody's leavin' town

Some gotta win some gotta lose...
