"Less And Less"

"Less And Less"

I got up and made my mornin' cup of coffee
Fooled around the house an hour or more I guess
I did all this before I even had one thought of you
More and more I think about you less and less
I'm surprised but after all it's been a while now
Since I lost your love and all my happiness
But look as though I just might maybe learn to smile again
Cause more and more more I think about you less and less
I wouldn't be surprised that pretty day now all these teardrops I've been cryin'
All these heartaches you caused me begin to wither and then dyin'
Just now someone ask me if I'm hearing from you
And I felt a lot like cryin' I confess
But I didn't cry I guess the worst is over now
Cause more and more more I think about you less and less

"Less Of Me"

"Less Of Me"

Let me be a little kinder let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me let me praise a little more
Let me be when I am weary just a little bit more cheery
Think a little more of others and a little less of me

Let me be a little braver when temptation bits me waver
Let me try a little harder to be all that I should be
Let me be a little meeker with the brother that is weaker
Let me think more of my neighbor and a little less of me

Let me be when I am weary just a little bit more cheery
Let me serve a little better those that I am striving for
Let me be a little meeker with the brother that is weaker
Think a little more of others and a little less of me

"Little Green Apples"
(originally by O.C. Smith)

"Little Green Apples"
(originally by O.C. Smith)

Well I wake up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes and she says 'hi'
Then I stumble to the breakfast table
Where the kids are going off to school, goodbye
Then she reaches out takes my hand and squeezes it
And says 'how you feeling hon'
Then I look across the smiling lips
That warms my heart and see my morning sun

And if that's not loving me all then all I've got to say
'God didn't make those little green apples
It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time
And there's no such thing as dr soos,
or Disney land or mother goose or nursery rhymes
'God didn't make those little green apples
It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time

And when myself is feeling low I think about her face
Aglow to ease my mind

Sometimes I call her up at home knowing she's busy
And asked her if she can get away and meet me
And grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doing hurries down to meet me
And I'm always late
But she sits waiting patiently smiles when she first sees me
'Cos she's made that way

And if that's not loving me all then all I've got to say
'God didn't make those little green apples
It don't snow in Indianapolis when the winter comes
And there's no such thing as make believe no puppy dogs
No autumn leaves no

"Lock, Stock, And Teardrops"

"Lock, Stock, And Teardrops"

Someday I won't come runnin'
When you call
The way you hurt me
It's a wonder I'm still here at all

Someday you'll wake up
And you'll find yourself alone
Lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone

I can't go on
The way you make me feel
You make me cry
And every time expect me to forgive

Someday you'll wake up
To a cold and lonely dawn
Lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone

Oh someday I'll wake up
Find my strength to carry on
And lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone
Lock, stock and teardrops
Lock, stock and teardrops
Lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone

"Lou's Got The Flu"

"Lou's Got The Flu"

Some people bad and some people good,
Too bad the bad can't be like the good,
But everything changes a little and it should,
Good ain't forever and bad ain't for good

And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up,
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up,
Have to get well pretty soon though

l got sugar in my candy and sugar in my soup
l'm getting fat from the candy and sick from the soup
True love is sweet but if it's mishandled
A bitter wind blows and out goes your candle

And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up,
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up,
Have to get well pretty soon though

Now not enough water puts thirst in a man
And just enough water puts joy in his land
But too much water will overflow
And tear the man's land up, so there you go

And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up,
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up,
Have to get well pretty soon though

"Love Is Not For Me"

"Love Is Not For Me"

I like the women I like to hold them tight
Kiss 'em squeeze 'em tease 'em that's alright
But I'll never marry no siree I'm for love but love is not for me

Now I like to romp'n stomp'n cut up loud and pick out the pretty faces in the crowd
But I'll never marry no siree I'm for love but love is not for me
I'm havin' too much fun doing like I'm done living on the run playing the field
And tryin' to stay away from any permanent type of deal
Yeah I like the women...
pa pa pa pa
I'm havin' too much fun doing like I'm done...

"Loving Her Was Easier"

"Loving Her Was Easier"

I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies

Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colours in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes

Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and places that I've been

Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of tring
Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Coming close together with a feeling that I've never known before

In my time

She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
And I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door

In my mind

But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
And loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

"Loving You Is Always On My Mind"

"Loving You Is Always On My Mind"

Travelling around and missing you gets hold (old)
Think about you almost all the time
Wishing I had your sweet hand to hold
Loving you is always on my mind

Loving you is all I'm living for
Ain't nobody 'bout to change my mind
For you have won my soul and my heart
Loving you is always on my mind

You're my friend when what I need is a friend
You're my loving when it's loving time
It's true so I'll just say it again
Loving you is always on my mind

You're my friend when what I need is a friend
You're my loving when it's loving time
It's true so I'll just say it again
Honey , loving you is always on my mind

Loving you is always on my mind

"Mama Used To Love Me But She Died"

"Mama Used To Love Me But She Died"

My uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Who'll bid me quarter, thirty cents for a ring of keys
Three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries
I'll have me a car of my own someday but 'til then I need me a ride
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Hamburger cup of coffee lettuce and tomato
Two times a dime to see a man kiss the alligator
One more time around free on the ferris wheel ride
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Apples are for eatin' and snakes are for hissin'
I've heard about a huggin' and I've heard about kissin'
I read about it free in a fifty cent illustrated guide
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Well, my uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love me but she died

"Me And Bobby Mcgee"

"Me And Bobby Mcgee"

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

La la la la la...
