"Baby Won't You Please Come Home"

"Baby Won't You Please Come Home"

I got the blues and I'm lonely, and I'd give the world if
If I could only make you understand that I need you

Oh Baby, won't you please come home
'Cause you mama's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day
You can hear me say
Baby, won't you please come home, come home

I'm gonna telegraph you, baby, and I'm gonna ask you
Won't you please come home
'Cause you know when you're gone I feel
So lonely and I need you

Baby, baby, come on home
Oh your little mama
Your little mama's all alone
Mm, I have tried in vain
I have tried and tried and tried not call your name

Yes, you know when you left
When you left you broke my little heart
Oh because, because I never thought
I never thought we'd part
Every hour of the day
Oh you're gonna hear me say
Oh baby, yeah, baby
You better listen to me, baby
Now baby, oh my baby, baby, baby
Won't you please come home...

"Back In Your Own Backyard"

"Back In Your Own Backyard"

(You can go to the east you go to the west
But you'll always come to where you started from)
The bird we think that are blue is waiting for you back in your own backyard
You see your castle in Spain through your window pane back in your own backyard
Oh you can go to the east go to the west but someday you'll come
Weary at heart back where you started from
You'll find your happiness lies right under your eyes back in your own backyard

(The bird with feathers of blue is waiting for you) back in your own backyard
(You see your castles in Spain through your window pane) back in your own backyard
Oh you can go the east...
(Happiness lies right under your eyes) back in your own backyard

"Ballin' The Jack"

"Ballin' The Jack"

Well you put your two knees close up thigh,
And then you swing them to the left
You swing them to the right.
Step around the floor kind of nice and light.
And then you twist around and
Twist around with all your might.
Shake your loving arms way out in space,
Then you do the Eagle Rock with the style and grace.
Swing your foot way round then you bring it back.
That's what I call Ballin' The Jack.

"Basin Street Blues"

Won't you come along with me,
To the Mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river,
Down to New Orleans
The bands there to meet us,
Old friends to greet us
Where all the elite, always meet,
Heaven on earth they call it Basin Street

In New Orleans land of dreams

Or how much it really means
Glad to be, yes siree, where welcome Street,

Where all the swinging people meet

"Big Four Poster Bed"

"Big Four Poster Bed"

It was just boards of rough cut pine
And a quilt of patch work cotton
A place to lay your body down was that big four poster bed

Daddy built it out of pine two days before the wedding
They say the neighbours cheered and hollered till his face got red
And Mama brought the feather pillows and some handmade bedding
And they spent their wedding night in that big four poster bed
That night they swore like that bed their love would last forever
And they'd ask no more of life than the simple things they had
So they planed there future as they laid close together
And later I was born there in that big four poster bed

It was just some boards of rough cut pine
And a quilt of patch work cotton
A place to lay your body down, a place to rest your head
A field of fluffy mountains for a little girl to hide in
Clouds and chasing rainbows was that big four poster bed

I remember as a child waking up on a winter morning
With Sound of laughing voices and the smell of baking bread
And running across that coal wood floor jumping there with them
And Lord, I felt so safe and warm in that big four poster bed

The day that Daddy died, he whispered something soft to mama
To this day she's never told a soul the words he said
She just smiled through her tears and held his hand and nodded
And my Daddy looked so much at rest in that big four poster bed

It was just some boards of rough cut pine
And a quilt of patchwork cotton
A place to lay your body down, a place to rest your head
A field of fluffy mountains for a little girl to hide in
Clouds and chasing rainbows was that big four poster bed

Now time has dried up all the tears here I stand a woman
Your arms reach out to touch my soul, your sweet words turn my head
Darling, won't you tell me first this will be forever
Before you lead me up the stairs to that big four poster bed
'Cause only love has ever touched, that big four poster bed

Yes, it was just some boards of rough cut pine
And a quilt of patchwork cotton
A place to lay your body down, a place to rest your head
A field of fluffy mountains for a little girl to hide in
Clouds and chasing rainbows was that big four poster bed

"Blue Christmas"

"Blue Christmas"

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of gray on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing, dear
If you're not here with me

I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin
You'll be do with alright with your Christmas of white
But I have a blue, blue Christmas

(I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain)
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin
You'll be do with alright with your Christmas of white
But I have a blue, blue Christmas

"Blue Velvet"

"Blue Velvet"

(Blue Velvet)

I wore Blue Velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars

I wore Blue Velvet
Bluer than velvet were my eyes
Warmer than May my tender sighs
Love was ours

Ours the love I held tightly
Feelings the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when he left
Gone was the glow of Blue Velvet

But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory
Through the years
And I still can see Blue Velvet
Through my tears

Blue Velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory
Through the years
And I still can see Blue Velvet
Through my tears

(Blue Velvet)
