Ring Of Fire

Merle Kilgore - June Carter

© Painted Desert Music, BMI

Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire...

The taste of love is sweet when hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child oh the fire went wild

I fell into a burning ring of fire...

And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire
The ring of fire the ring of fire

Laura (What He's Got That I Ain't Got)

Margie Singleton - Leon Ashley

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Laura hold these hands and count these fingers
Laura touch the lips you once desired
Let your soft gentle hands caress my body
Gently run your fingers through my hair

Touch these ears that's listened to your wishes
Most of them fulfilled and that's a lot
Lay your head upon my chest hear my heart beat
Then tell me what he's got I ain't got

Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
Must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got that I ain't got

Laura see these walls that I built for you
Laura see this carpet that I lay
See those fancy curtains on the windows
Touch the satin pillows on your bed

Laura count the dresses in your closet
Note the name upon the checkbook in your bag
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got I ain't got

Tell me what he's got that I can't give you...

Flower Of Love

Margie Singleton - Leon Ashley

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Well that ain't a gonna be as long now as it has been
I got a feelin' that me and love are in tune
Well that ain't a gonna be as long now as it has been
Some wilt the flower of love waitin' to bloom

Sunshine and laughter just over the hill
All I gotta do is climb
Someone is waitin' true love to give
Just over on the other side

Well that ain't a gonna be as long now as it has been...

Sunshine and laughter just over the hill...
Well that ain't a gonna be as long now as it has been...
Some wilt the flower of love a waiting to bloom

Till I Get Over You

Merle Kilgore - Jim Sells

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Well I live my life with sorrow knowing you couldn't be true
Forget you ever met me and I'll try the same thing too
Oh I know I can't have you there's only one thing to do
I'll go away somewhere I just don't care till I get over you

I'll get over you someday till I can love again
And I won't smile and I'll run wild right up till then
Even though I know it's over you'll always be on my mind
I'll go away somewhere I just don't care till I get over you
[ guitar ]
Go on and forget me till I get over you
Forget you ever met me till I find somebody new
Oh I know I can't have you there's one thing I can do
I'll go away somewhere I just don't care till I get over you
I'll go away somewhere I just don't care till I get over you

That's Alright

Margie Singleton - Leon Ashley

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Your feet are always restless you're searchin' constatly
Your spirit is too wild to be controlled
I find you're not the woman I thought you to be
That's alright you're what I need
Honey that's alright you're what I need

The patterns of your mind are impossible to read
They're wilder than the patterns of your clothes
Your seldom touch of gentleness is all the hold I need
To know I've known you keeps me satisfied
I find you're not the woman I thought you to be
That's alright you're what I need
Honey that's alright you're what I need

You fear the peace of calmness with exhilarated speed
You're leavin' tracks for a hep time
Your carefree way of livin' has stunned society
You're the model of the life they'd like to lead
I know you're not the woman I thought you to be
But that's alright you're what I need
Said that's alright you're what I need
Well that's alright you're what I need
Well that's alright you're what I need

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 Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
Well the bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there

All my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife
I'll take my chances gonna climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clowers may take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey...

I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain
It's too lonesome down here below
It's just ain't right he should hide that daughter
From the one who loves her so

Oh her tender lips are sweeter than honey...

Well I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm a gonna climb up on his mountain
I'm a gonna take the girl I love
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm a gonna climb up on that mountain
I'm a gonna get that girl I love

Packing And Unpacking

Leon Ashley

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Worn out the tickets that I bought to leave you
Never seem to make the train on time
Worn out my suitcase packin' and unpackin'
Packin' and unpackin' that's the story of my life

One minute I'm a packin' determined to go
Makin' reservations where I know I won't show

Then before I know it find myself unpackin'
These ole worn out things of mine
Packin' and unpackin' yeah packin' and unpackin'
That's the story of my life
[ trumpet ]
Worn out the tickets that I bought to leave you...

One minute I'm a packin' determined to go
Makin' reservations where I know I won't show

Then before I know it find myself unpackin'...
That's the story of my life

I Won The War

Merle Kilgore

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

I won the war between you and me
I left you behind to be the only casualty
When I walked out you gave up I thought I had won
I killed the greatest love and never fired a gun

Wasn't that a great victory hurrah and cheers for me
If heartache's gonna be my thing then losin' you was quite a game
I won the war but look at just what I've done
I killed the greatest love and never fired a gun
[ steel ]
I won the war between you and me
And I left you behind to be the only casualty
Why when I walked out you gave up ha I thought I won
But I killed the greatest love and never fired a gun

Wasn't that a great victory hurrah and cheers for me...

Where Your Love Stopped (She Went A Little Bit Farther)

Merle Kilgore

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Lovin' me to you seems such a bother
You made it easy for me to love another
So don't blame her for stealin' me you let her
And where you love stopped she went a little bit farther

You changed so much I was more at ease with a stranger
It wasn't very hard our love was already in danger
She does everything that pleases me you never
And where your love stopped she went a little bit farther

She went a little bit farther to make me feel loved
She considered my feelin's she's all I'm thinkin' of
Oh don't blame her for stealin' me you let her
And where your love stopped she went a little bit farther
[ steel ]
She went a little bit farther to make me feel loved...
And where your love stopped she went a little bit farther
