"Above And Beyond"

"Above And Beyond"



A well I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
A yes I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy

Well a poor boy's chances for a pretty girl's glances
Are sometimes very few
Though I've got no money, if you'll be my honey
Here's what I'll offer you

A well I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
A yes I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy

We met by chance and I knew at a glance
That I'd found my destiny
Now I want to carry you off and marry you
If you will agree

And I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
Yes I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy

"Across This Town And Gone"

"Across This Town And Gone"



It's time to leave, so let me go
I've just been wasting time
I'll call you in a year or so
If I can spare a dime

We couldn't change the bad to good
The good Lord knows we tried
And a one way love just ain't no good
And I can't live a lie

So I'll just hit the road a cryin' low
I'll walk so fast you'll never know
I'm cryin' and dyin'
Before one teardrop hits the ground
I'll be halfway across this town and gone

Perhaps in time the hurt will heal
If I just walk away
I love you, so I hate to go
But there's no other way
So I'll just hit the road

Before one teardrop hits the ground
I'll be halfway across this town and gone

"Act Naturally"

"Act Naturally"



They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I got to do is act naturally

Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
'Cause I can play the part so well.

Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally.

We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally.

Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
'Cause I can play the part so well.

Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally...

"Adios, Farewell, Goodbye, Good Luck, So Long"

"Adios, Farewell, Goodbye, Good Luck, So Long"


I don't wanna see you peeking through my window
I don't wanna hear you call me on the phone
I don't wanna hear you knocking on my door babe
Adios, farewell, goodbye, good luck, so long.

Well you put me through my paces like a champion
Like a champion, I jumped through the hoop for you
But that's all over now, go find a brand new sucker
Congratulations dear, I've had the course with you
I don't wanna see you peeking.

[Instrumental]

Well I guess I'll have to get an act of congress
To convince you that our love affair's all through
Every time you snap your fingers I come running
But that's all over now I'm sick and tired of you
I don't wanna see you peeking.

Adios, farewell, goodbye, good luck, so long...

"After You Leave Me"

"After You Leave Me"


After you leave me, after you're gone
I'll sit here crying so blue and alone
And when the door closes
I'll close my heart too

After you leave me what will I do
After you've taken the beat of my heart
After you've torn my world all apart
My life will be worthless here without you
After you leave me what will I do

[Instrumental]

After you've taken the beat of my heart
After you've torn my world all apart
My life will be worthless here without you
After you leave me what will I do

"Ain't It Amazing Gracie"

"Ain't It Amazing Gracie"


I've been all over the world
But no other girl ever thrilled me
The way that you do
Ain't it amazing how I love you.

Well, I left my Gracie
And I cought a big train
Searching for wealth and fame
But every clickety-clack
Of the railroad track
Seemed to bring out my Gracie's name.

Well, ain't it amazing Gracie
How much that I love you
I've been all over the world
But no other girl ever thrilled me
The way that you do
Ain't it amazing how I love you.

Well she's not the prettiest girl
In the world I know
She's not the smartest one too
But she's always there
And I know she cares
And I know her little heart is true
Well ain't it amazing Gracie.

[Instrumental]

I met a lot of pretty girls
Wherever I'd go
None could ever take her place
'Cause everytime I'd look into their eyes
I keep a seein' my Gracie's face
Well ain't it amazing Gracie...

"Alabama Louisiana Or Maybe Tennessee"

"Alabama Louisiana Or Maybe Tennessee"


I'm gonna buy me a great long ticket
Gonna leave on the midnight train
And I don't care about the destination
Just as long as I leave today.

Gonna pack all of my belongings
Gonna take everything I own
And if anybody ask about me
Just say I've been here and gone.

And you can reach me in Alabama
Louisiana or maybe Tennessee
Indiana or Montana or even Missouri
North Dakota, Minnesota or Washington DC
Anyplace that I can find to lose your memory.

[Instrumental]

Well, I'm gonna start all over
Cause I got a lotta livin' to do
And the sooner that I get started
The sooner I forget about you.

I'm gonna live a life of rally
And happy I'm a gonna be
And just in case you're interested
Well here's where you can find me.

You can reach me in Alabama
Louisiana or maybe Tennessee
Indiana or Montana or even Missouri
North Dakota, Minnesota or Washington DC
Anyplace that I can find to lose your memory.

You can find me anyplace
That I can find to lose your memory...

"All Around Cowboy Of 1964"

"All Around Cowboy Of 1964"



Folks used to think that I could ride
Any bronc or bull alive
Maybe in my younger days I could
But now I'm slowin' down a bit
Friends tell me that I should quit
And if I didn't love it so, I would

I recall when folks thought I was great
And all the riders used to hate
To see my name upon the entry door
'Cause I could ride and I could rope
The others seem they have no hope
A-lookin' at a buckle that I wore

It's that all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four
Long days and lucky breaks have me alone
Workin' hard and ridin' fast and sleepin' in the cold
Made me all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four

Folks don't seem to realize
The thrill I get from every ride
That bronc feels like you're dynamite to me
Scratched and bruised, my body aches
From day to day, to use its takes
Lord only knows the way that sets me free

Now my days have shortened up
I'm out of breaks and out of luck
And things will never be the same old way
As I look back and shed a tear
Sometimes I can almost hear
The echo of the judges, they would say

You're the all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four
Long days and lucky breaks have me alone
Workin' hard and ridin' fast and sleepin' in the cold
Made me all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four

Yes, I'm the all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four

"All I Want For Christmas Dear Is You"

"All I Want For Christmas Dear Is You"


Here it is Christmas Day
And you're many miles away
And I wonder if you feel the way I do
In the air there's happiness
But in me there's loneliness
For all I want for Christmas dear is you

Presents wrapped in green and gold
Have no arms for me to hold
No lips to whisper softly I love you
Oh how happy I would be
To find you underneath my tree
For all I want for Christmas dear is you

[Instrumental]

Presents wrapped in green and gold
Have no arms for me to hold
No lips to whisper softly I love you
Oh how happy I would be
To find you underneath my tree
For all I want for Christmas dear is you...

"All I Want For Christmas Is My Daddy"

"All I Want For Christmas Is My Daddy"



A little boy with tear dimmed eyes
With trembling lips he could not hide
Too young to understand
Why daddy said goodbye
Why, Christmas time is almost here
And daddy won't be home this year
The little boy looked up at mommy and he cried

All I want for Christmas is my daddy
To help me decorate the Christmas tree
Tell ol' Santa Claus forget about those presents
But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve

Mommy said if I'd be good
And say my prayers the way I should
Maybe God would help bring daddy back to us
For it won't seem like Christmas day
With my daddy far away
'Cause we miss him so and love him oh so much

All I want for Christmas is my daddy
To help me decorate the Christmas tree
Tell ol' Santa Claus forget about those presents
But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve

No, don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve
