"Swanee River Rock"

"Swanee River Rock"


Do you know way down way down upon the Swanee
Talkin' about the river you know it's so far yes it's so far away
Do you know that's where my heart is a turning
Oh yeah and that's where that's where the old folks stay
All the world is sad and lonely yeah everywhere I roam
I keep a telling you darling how my heart is so sad and lonely
Because I'm so far so far from my folks back home

All the world is sad and lonely...
Far from my folks back home far from my folks back home

"Sweet Dreams (Of You)"

"Sweet Dreams (Of You)"


Sweet, sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't, why can't I forget you and start my life a new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Oh You, You don't love me, it's plain
I should have known I'll never share your name
Yes I, I should hate you the whole night through
But I keep having sweet dreams about you

Oh I know, I know I should hate you,
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

"Sweet Memories"

"Sweet Memories"


(hum) Sweet memories, sweet memories...(hum)

My world is like a river, as dark as it is deep
Night after night, the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of his memory

Sweet memories...sweet sweet memories, oh yeah (hum)
He slipped into the silence of my dreams last night
Wondering from room to room, just turning on each light
His laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
I'm swept away from the sadness, clinging to his memory

Oh-sweet sweet memories...sweet memories, oh yes (hum)

"Sweethearts On Parade"

"Sweethearts On Parade"


Two by two, they go marching through,
The sweethearts on parade
I can't help crying as they pass me by,
The sweethearts on parade
I'd love to join them but,
But they, they go by me,
Cause it takes more than one to join their, their army
How I pine just to fall in line
With the sweethearts on parade

I'd love to join them, but,
But they go by me
And it takes more than one to join their army
How I pine, I pine to fall in line,
With the sweethearts on parade
(With the sweethearts on parade)
With the sweethearts on parade

"Taking What I Can Get"

"Taking What I Can Get"


It's a crime the way you treat me
Night time's the only time you meet me
And hotel rooms with shades pulled down
Morning comes and you're never around
And it's a sin the way I love you
But my friend, I can't rise above you
Lord knows it's killing me
But that's the way it's gotta be

And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we me
(Just) Letting you do your thing, in love's name
(And) I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do
Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains
But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game

Your daughter's only three, too young to know 'bout you and me
Ah her mama needs you, too, just the way I need you
And love, I should not complain
For I'm just as much to blame
I've known all along, what we've been doing's wrong

And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we me
(Just) Letting you do your thing, in love's name
(And) I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do
Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains
But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game

And as the wheels of love keep turning
Higher the fire is burning
I'm bitter, Lord, but your love's so sweet
I know we're heading down a one way street

And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we me
(Just) Letting you do your thing, in love's name
(And) I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do
Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains
But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game

"Tammy"

"Tammy"


I hear the cottonwoods whisp'rin' above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love
The old hootie owl hootie hoo's to the dove
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love

Does my darling feel what I feel
When he comes here?
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that she could hear!
Wish I knew if she knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love

Does my darling feel what I feel
When he comes here?
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that she could hear!
Wish I knew if she knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love

"Teach Me Tonight"

"Teach Me Tonight"


Did you say I've got a lot to learn well don't think I'm not trying not to learn
Since this has been the perfect spot to learn teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write I love you about a thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love should the teacher stand so near my love
Graduations almost here my love teach me tonight

One thing isn't very clear my love should the teacher stand so near my love
Graduations almost here my love teach me tonight
(Teach me teach me tonight)

"Tell Me What It's Like"

"Tell Me What It's Like"


You know we've been close friends a long time now
And I just needed somebody to talk to
I hate to bring this subject up
Because I know how you've been hurt
With someone you really loved
And your whole world just crumbled apart
But I thought it might help me to know what it's like
When it happens so I came to you
'Cause I can feel it comin' on

Tell me what it's like,
To lose the only thing you care about
Tell me how it feels,
To know your only dream is gone
Tell me how you live,
When you've lost something you can't live without
Tell me what it's like,
I can feel it comin' on
Tell me what it's like,
To wake up crying every morning
With an aching heart that just won't set you free
Tell me what you do,
When there's no one that you wanna do it with
There's nobody else you really wanna see
Tell me what it's like,
When those four lonely walls start closin' in
Tell me how it feels to spend the nights alone
Tell me what to say,
Whenever someone ask you how you've been
Tell me what it's like (tell me what's it's like)
I can feel it comin' on (tell me)
Tell me what it's like,
I can feel it comin' on
