"Mental Cruelty"

"Mental Cruelty"



Mental cruelty, that's what I heard her say
Mental cruelty to the judge that day
I sat there in silence so she could be free
And listened to her lying words mental cruelty.

Your Honor, since our marriage
My life's not been the same
Why, I'm missing out on all the fun
And he's the one to blame.

There's never any excitement now
The way there used to be
And sharing his way of life
Is mental cruelty, mental cruelty.

Divorce has been granted
For many different things
Even when there's not a reason
And when no one can be blamed.

With only two little words
Why she's on her merry way
Yes, all the woman has to claim
Is mental cruelty, mental cruelty...

"Merry Christmas From Our House To Yours"



Merry Christmas from our house to your house
Merry Christmas from our kids to yours
May happiness be round your Christmas tree
May your disappointments be few

Merry Christmas from our house to your house
May peace and good will follow you.
And may you be blessed with health and happiness
Merry Christmas from our house to yours

May all of your loved ones be near you
And may all of your spirits be bright
May all of your dreams be what this Christmas brings
Merry Christmas from our house to yours

May all of your loved ones be near you
And may all of your spirits be bright
May all of your dreams be what this Christmas brings
Merry Christmas from our house to yours

Merry Christmas from our house to yours

"Mirror, Mirror On The Wall"

"Mirror, Mirror On The Wall"



Mirror mirror on the wall who's the saddest of them all
But I don't have to see I know it's gotta be me

Every time the wind blows at my window
I rush to see if it's you at my door
And the sadness fill the rooms when you're not standin' there
And I wish that I could walk right through the floor

Mirror mirror on the wall who's the saddest of them all
But I don't have to see I know it's gotta be me

Every night in dreams you torment me as
I remember things I should forget
And the sun comes up by and a new day's dawnin'
But nothing's changed for I still love you yet

Mirror mirror on the wall who's the saddest of them all
But I don't have to see I know it's gotta be me

"Mountain Dew"

"Mountain Dew"


Not very far from me there's an old holler tree
Where you lay down a dollar or two
Then you go round the bend and you come back again
With a jug of that good ole mountain dew

[Chorus:]
They call it that ole mountain dew Lord Lord
And them that refuse it are few
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
With that good ole mountain dew

The preacher came by with his head held up high
Said his wife took down with the flu
And he thought that we ought just to give him a snort
Of that good old mountain dew

[Chorus]

My uncle Mort he's sawed off and he's short
He measures bout four foot two
But he thinks he's a giant when you give him a pint
Of that good old mountain dew

[Chorus]

I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
With that good ole mountain dew

"My Everlasting Love"

"My Everlasting Love"


It's deeper than the ocean and higher than the sky
Longer than the highways that we travel by
Truer than the stars that shine in the sky
My everlastin' love for you will never die.

Well, it's sweeter than the flowers that bloom in the spring
Prettier than water in a mountain stream
Brighter than the sun that shines on high
My everlastin' love for you will never die.

If you would listen to the reason
You would know I'm not a teasin'
You'll know what I say is true.
You'll know I'm not a fakin'
When I say my heart's a breakin'
With love I have for you.

Well, It's deeper than the ocean and higher than the sky
Longer than the highways that we travel by
Truer than the stars that shine in the sky
My everlastin' love for you will never die.

[Instrumental]

If you would listen to the reason
You would know I'm not a teasin'
You'll know what I say is true.
You'll know I'm not a fakin'
When I say my heart's a breakin'
With love I have for you.

Well, It's deeper than the ocean and higher than the sky
Longer than the highways that we travel by
Truer than the stars that shine in the sky
My everlastin' love for you will never die...

"My Last Chance With You"

"My Last Chance With You"


Since you told me yesterday
There were things you had to say
I've been waiting for my last chance with you
Something big is on your mind
Like a spring you must unwind
So, I'm waiting for my last chance with you.

I'm preparing for tomorrow
When you'll break the news to me
I dare not show my sorrow
It's not a shoulder that I need.

I've a need for you to love me
And I tear somebody new
So I'm waiting for
My last chance with you.

[Instrumental]

I've rehearsed the scene all over
Pretending you were here
I've been practicing the presence of you
I've been wondering how you'd tell me
And planning what I'd do
While thinking bout my last chance with you.

If I don't win you tomorrow
Something tells me someone will
Wish I knew where I could borrow
Some love making skill.

I've a need for you to love me
And I tear somebody new
So I'm waiting for
My last chance with you...

"My Savior Leads The Way"

"My Savior Leads The Way"


I have a safe and sure retreat where I'm alone with God
A perfect peace and happiness where sorrow never trod
Oh praise His name, His holy name, salvation full and free
Ol' glory to the blessed Lamb, my Saviour leads the way

My Saviour leads the way. my Saviour leads the way
My soul was lost in deep despair till Jesus came to me
But now I'm safe, thank God I'm safe, because of calvary
I'm following his footsteps my Saviour leads the way.

[Instrumental]

My burdens all seem lighter when I steal away and pray
I feel his presence and I know he's with me all the way
Alone with him I'll watch and wait, I know it won't be long
Till I shall stand before my Lord and sing a happy song.

My Saviour leads the way. my Saviour leads the way
My soul was lost in deep despair till Jesus came to me
But now I'm safe, thank God I'm safe, because of calvary
I'm following his footsteps my Saviour leads the way...

"Never Never Land"

"Never Never Land"


[Chorus:]
Here in never never land
There is no rainbow's end
It's cold and dark
Here in my heart
In never never land

Nobody told me that love could hurt me
Nobody mentioned the pain
There was not one word
That love could desert me
Nobody mentioned your name

[Chorus]

I spend the night time longing for daytime
Counting the ticks of the clock
How long is forever
When is now or never
And when will this missing you stop

[Chorus 2x]

It's cold and dark
Here in my heart
In never never land

"No Fool Like An Old Fool"

"No Fool Like An Old Fool"


The first time you hurt me
I thought I'd die
The second time it happened
I cried all night.

They say a heart can stand
Just so much grief and pain
But a fool in love keeps loving
They never change.

There's no fool like an old fool
That's loved and lost at least a hundred times
There's no fool like an old fool
That keeps on falling for the same old line.

[Instrumental]

You call and say you're sorry
That you let me down
I take you back
'Xause you're what makes my world go round.

And though I know my chances
Are so very small
I'd rather have a part of you
Than none at all.

There's no fool like an old fool
That's loved and lost at least a hundred times
There's no fool like an old fool
That keeps on falling for the same old line...

"No Love Have I"

"No Love Have I"


A man can be happy without money
But he must have some love in his life
I've lost you and now I'm so lonely
Lonely, 'cause no love have I.

I'd trade my life for a beggar
If he had someone close by his side
Sometimes I can't keep from crying
Crying 'cause no love have I.

[Instrumental]

I know that I must keep on living
But it's so hard to hold my hand high
My wordly possessions mean nothing
Nothing 'cause no love have I.

I hope you'll be happy in your world
I've wondered since we've said goodbye
I've prayed that you'll always have someone
And never say no love have I...
