"I Wish I Was A Butterfly"

"I Wish I Was A Butterfly"


I wish, I wish, oh how I wish
I was a butterfly
I wish, I was a butterfly
Flying through the sky.

For if I was a butterfly
You'd never have made me cry
I wish, I wish, oh how I wish
I was a butterfly.

[Instrumental]

I wish, I was a paper kite
Flowing in the wind
For if I was a paper kite
I'd never hurt again.

I wish, I was a choo choo train
Chokin' down the track
Oh, if I was a choo choo train
I never would come back.

I wish, I wish, oh how I wish
I was a butterfly...

"I Won't Be Needing You"

"I Won't Be Needing You"



I don't need these fingers to count how long you're gone
I don't want these eyes of mine to watch good love go wrong
I don't need these mem'ries reminding me we're through
And when there's nothing left of me I won't be needing you.

I don't need these arms of mine to hold you anymore
Lips so used to kissing you are suddenly ignored
I don't need this old heart breaking in two
And when there's nothing left of me I won't be needing you.

I can't wait till everything I ever plan's gone wrong
I can't wait till all of me that's left to see is gone
I don't need this old heart breaking in two
And when there's nothing left of me I won't be needing you.

And when there's nothing left of me
I won't be needing you...

"I Won't Go Huntin' With You Jake"

"I Won't Go Huntin' With You Jake"


It's springtime in the mountains and I'm full of mountain dew
I can't even read my catalog the way I used to do
I'm a sittin' in that little shed just right back off the house
Here comes ol' Jake with all the hounds but he's gonna hear me shout.

Oh, I won't go huntin' with you Jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'
So put them hounds back in the pen and quit that silly grinnin'
Moon is bright and I'm half tight my life's just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'.

Let's go down to the meetin' house and wait till they start home
Them gals that live on Possum Creek will always leave alone
We'll run 'em down the corn row them sassy little misses
We'll scare them pretty gals to death we'll stop and blow 'em kisses.

Oh, I won't go huntin' with you Jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'
So put them hounds back in the pen and quit that silly grinnin'
Moon is bright and I'm half tight my life's just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'.

[Instrumental]

Now wash your face and comb your hair it's darn near time to start
But let me tell you fore you go there's no one that's got my heart
Don't chase the one with the yellow hair that wears the dress of green
Well, that sweet thing belongs to me I know she's past sixteen.

Oh, I won't go huntin' with you Jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'
So put them hounds back in the pen and quit that silly grinnin'
Moon is bright and I'm half tight my life's just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'.

Now I was headed for the general store when a silly thing I seen
They make 'em in the city it's called a magazine
I turned to page 32 and look at what I found
Them gals wear clothes that we ain't seen beneath them gigham gowns.

Oh, I won't go huntin' with you Jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'
So put them hounds back in the pen and quit that silly grinnin'
Moon is bright and I'm half tight my life's just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'.

I won't go huntin' with you jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'...

"I Would Do Anything For You"

"I Would Do Anything For You"



If I were a bird, I would sing for you
If I were a bell, I would ring for you
If I were a tear, I would cry for you
For I would do anything for you

If I were a kite, I would fly for you
If I were a ship, I would sail for you
If I were a heart, I would beat for you
For I would do anything for you

If I were the day, I would dawn for you
If I were the sun, I would shine for you
If I were a rose, I would bloom for you
For I would do anything for you

If I were a joke, I would laugh for you
If I were a ball, I would bounce for you
If I were a clown, I would dance for you
For I would do anything for you

If I were a clown, I would dance for you
For I would do anything for you

"I Wouldn't Live In New York City"

"I Wouldn't Live In New York City"



It ain't nothin' but a concrete jungle with people packed like sardines
Where everybody's tryin' to live beyond their means
Where all the natives hurry and scurry too and fro
And like a fleas on a puppy dog they got no place to go.

I wouldn't live in New York City if they gave me the whole dang town
Talk about a bummer it's the biggest one around
Sodom and Gommorah was tame to what I found
I wouldn't live in New York City if they gave me the whole dang town.

Well, I ain't seen the sunshine since the day that I arrived
'Cause brother I've been busy a-tryin' to survive
Nobody knows you've been here till you're six feet under ground
Than you become a statistic if they remember to write you down.

I wouldn't live in New York City if they gave me the whole dang town
Talk about a bummer it's the biggest one around
Sodom and Gommorah was tame to what I found
I wouldn't live in New York City if they gave me the whole dang town...

"I'd Love To Be Your Man"

"I'd Love To Be Your Man"


I'd love to be the sugar in your coffee
I'd love to be the finger on your hand
I'd love to be the pillow that you dream on
But most of all I'd love to be your man.

I'd love to be the curtain on your window
I'd love to be the picture on your stand
I'd love to be the sunshine in your morning
But most of all I'd love to be your man.

I'd love to be the lips that kiss your loving lips
I'd love to be the perfume in your hair
I'd love to be the arms that hold your loving arms
I'd even love to be your rocking chair.

[Instrumental]

I'd love to be the flower in your garden
I'd love to be the object of your plans
I'd love to be the twinkle in your eyes
But most of all I'd love to be your man.

Oh, most of all I'd love to be your man...

"I'll Catch You When You Fall"

"I'll Catch You When You Fall"


It seems like years and a million tears
Since you've left the old hometown
Now you've changed they say and the great white way
Is your new stomping ground.

Well, it's plain to see you've forgotten me
'Cause you never write or call
But I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall.

I'll catch you when you fall
There's no one else but you
Now, you're flying high but honey by and by
You're gonna cry for love that's true.

So when you're uptown maybe
Starts giving you the stall
I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall.

[Instrumental]

Well, I've heard it said they've turned your head
You're ashamed of us back home
But I'll bet the sound of a southern bound
Still chills you to the bone.

With your haughty pose and your uptown clothes
You're not fooling me at all
When you're feeling bad your ol' country lad
Is gonna catch you you fall.

I'll catch you when you fall
There's no one else but you
Now, you're flying high but honey by and by
You're gonna cry for love that's true.

So when you're uptown maybe
Starts giving you the stall
I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall...

"I'll Give My Heart To You"

"I'll Give My Heart To You"


If you'll hold me close and kiss me
Promise that you'll always miss me
Say you'll never never, never be untrue
If you swear you'll always love me
And you'll place no one above me
Well, then I'll give my heart to you.

If I'm number one in your heart
If you're sure that we'll never part
If you're ready now to make my dreams come true
Well, then I'll give my heart to you.

If you'll hold me close and kiss me
Promise that you'll always miss me
Say you'll never never, never be untrue
If you swear you'll always love me
And you'll place no one above me
Well, then I'll give my heart to you.

[Instrumental]

Well, if you're all through painting the town
If you're ready now to settle down
If you're sure I'm the only one for you
Well then, I'll give my heart to you.

If you'll hold me close and kiss me
Promise that you'll always miss me
Say you'll never never, never be untrue
If you swear you'll always love me
And you'll place no one above me
Well, then I'll give my heart to you...

"I'll Go To The Church Again With Momma"

"I'll Go To The Church Again With Momma"


[Sang:]
I'll go to church again with momma
Someday in the sweet by and by
I'll go to church again with momma
Up there in the chapel in the skies.

[Spoken:]
You know when I was just a little boy
My momma used to take me to church
And we'd read the Bible, together
And we'd sing those wonderful old hymns
That just seemed to warm your heart, all over
Yes, I know those were the happiest days I've ever spent
When I went to church with momma

[Sang:]
I'll go to church again with momma
Up there in the chapel in the skies.

[Spoken:]
Now momma's gone to heaven to meet Jesus there
And I know she's happy there, Lord
And I know someday I'll meet her up there
And we'll sing and praise the Lord.
When I get to church again in heaven with momma

[Sang:]
I'll go to church again with momma
Someday in the sweet by and by
I'll go to church again with momma
Up there in the chapel in the skies...

"I'll Still Be Waiting For You"

"I'll Still Be Waiting For You"



When you've climbed every mountain
There is to climb when at last
You've sailed every sea
When your heart grows heavy
And you're down on the street
Suddenly you're remembering me

When you felt every hurt
There is to feel when at last
You've sang every song
When you think
Your world has come to an end
I'll still be waiting for you

I'll still be waiting for you
I'll still be waiting for you
When you think
Your world has come to an end
I'll still be waiting for you
