"Gonna Send You Back To Georgia"

"Gonna Send You Back To Georgia"



Well you had nothing when I met you baby
But look what you got now
Sometimes I wonder did I make a mistake
But I brought you from the south

So I'm gonna take you back to Georgia
Well back where you belong
Yes I am
You done got in the big city baby
You done started doing me wrong
Yes you have

Well your Momma and your Daddy told me baby
Not to take you from the south
I took you to the city when you were a child
And the fight bout knocked you out

And girl I'm gonna take you back to Georgia
Oh because you don't know a thing
No you don't
Well when I first met you baby
You couldn't read or write your name
Well no

Well you run the streets with your wig hair
Trying to play your high class games
You run the streets both day and night
You don't have pocket change
So I'm gonna take you back to Georgia
Well before I have to lose my mind

Well I just can't understand it baby
What is that makes your head so hot
What is it

I'm gonna take you back to Georgia
Right back where you belong
Yes I am
Yeah
I'm gonna take you back to Georgia

"Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues"

"Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues"


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's a waste of 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

Ya know my heart keeps tellin' me
"You're not a kid at thirty-three"
"Ya play around, ya lose your wife"
"Ya play too long, you lose your life"

I got my pills to 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
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues

"Grown-Up Christmas List"

"Grown-Up Christmas List"



Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
But still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my life long wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Oh
This is my grown-up Christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree
But Heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
The hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Oh
This is my grown-up Christmas list

What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Oh
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list

"Half As Much"

"Half As Much"


If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
Your nice to me when there's nobody, nobody else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you needed me half as much as I need you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never never never be blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you (yeah)

Oh, I, never knew the art of making love
Though my heart ached with a love for you
Oh, I was afraid and shy, I let my chance go bye
The chance that you might love me too

If you love me half as much as I love you (yeah)
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never never never be blue (girl)
If you only loved me just half as much as I love you (yeah)
If you loved me girl just half as much as I love you ( ah yeah)
You wouldn't keep on a bringing me down like you do (now)
Honey if you love love me half as much as I love you

"Happy Man"

"Happy Man"



When I die there won't be much
To salvage from my earnings
I never had a lot of land or houses to my name
I've never been a corporate prince
On Madison and New York
I never held a diamond in my hand

But I've seen children laughing
As only children can
And I've known my Creator
And I've been a happy man

I never really loved the way I saw it in the movies
But I had myself a woman of my own
The place we lived was modest
And we kept the yard together
I never traveled far from my hometown

But I've heard music playing
That made me understand
And touched the hearts of heaven
And I've been a happy man

Life has had it's hard times
When I've felt the chill of winter
I can't forget the night
When my sweet Julie slipped away

But growing old is different
Than I always thought it would be
The sweetness of my youth
Just grew with age

'Cause I've known wealth and beauty
Beneath His guiding hand
And knowing soon I'll see Him
Has made me a happy man
And knowing soon I'll see Him
Has made me a happy man

"Have A Heart"

"Have A Heart"


Woman I hear what you say.
Now and then you've gotta get away.
But when your now and then start to coming every day,
I fall apart.
Baby, have a heart.
See what I'm going through,
Afraid I'm losing you,
Never knowing where you're going or what you might do.
I'm in the dark.
Won't you?

[CHORUS:]
Have a heart.
Stop my world from falling apart.
Oh Honey, have a heart.
Can't you see what you're doin' to me?

Last night I had a dream.
It was the strangest thing,
'Cause in my dream my fears became reality.
Oh Darlin',
I watched you as you ran,
To the arms of another man.
And as I saw him touch the one you know I love so much,
I fell apart.

[CHORUS]

Baaaaaby, Baaaaby, Baaaabyyyyyy,
[CHORUS to fade out]

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"



Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light from now on
Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yule-tide gay from now on
Our troubles will be miles away

Here were are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

"He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother"

"He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother"



The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's just my brother

So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
Ahh, were gonna get there
For I know
He won't encumber me at all
He ain't heavy, he's just my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everybody's heart
Isn't filled with gladness
Of love, Love for one another

Oh, It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on our way to there
Why don't we share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

He's my brother
