"Sally Mary And Jerry"

"Sally Mary And Jerry"


Sally told Mary, Mary told Jerry,
Jerry's a spreading it round
That we had a quarrel, a foolish quarrel,
Now we're the talk of the town.

Well, now rumors are flying like leaves in the air
Whispering that I let you down
And there's one thing for certain it's our love they're hurtin'
They've made us the talk of the town.

Sally told Mary, Mary told Jerry,
Jerry's a spreading it round
That we had a quarrel, a foolish quarrel,
Now we're the talk of the town.

[Instrumental]

So please don't believe what they say about me
They're trying to keep us apart
I'll swear that I love you, there's no one above you
Yes, you are the one of my heart.

Sally told Mary, Mary told Jerry,
Jerry's a spreading it round
That we had a quarrel, a foolish quarrel,
Now we're the talk of the town...

"Sally Was A Good Old Girl"

"Sally Was A Good Old Girl"


Sally used to carry my books to school
Sally was a good ole girl
Helped me with my homework 'cause I was a fool
'Cause Sally was a good ole girl.

If you wanted just a kiss or a little bitty squeeze
She was always willing to do her best to please
Yeah, girls were made to love and not made to tease
Sally was a good ole girl.

Yeah, Sally was a good ole girl
Sally was a good ole girl
No matter what the request
She gave it her best
Sally was a good ole girl.

Oh well, Sally's folks were poor
But she helped all she could
Sally was a good ole girl
Hardest working girl in the neighborhood
Sally was a good ole girl.

Well, she walked up and down the street all day
Selling neck ties to the one's who'd pay
If they couldn't afford it then she'd give them away
'Cause Sally was a good ole girl.

Yeah, Sally was a good ole girl
Sally was a good ole girl
No matter what the request
She gave it her best
Sally was a good ole girl.

Well, Sally was a good ole girl

[Instrumental]

Well, Sally was a favorite with all of the men
'Cause Sally was a good ole girl
All of the ladies despised her then
'Cause Sally was a good ole girl.

Well, the women talked about her but Sally didn't care
She kept on a workin' and a doin' her share
She wound up and married to a millionaire
Sally was a good ole girl.

Yeah, Sally was a good ole girl
Sally was a good ole girl
No matter what the request
She gave it her best
Sally was a good ole girl.

Well, Sally was a good ole girl
Sally was a good ole girl
No matter what the request
She gave it her best
Sally was a good ole girl...

"Sam's Place"

"Sam's Place"



There's a place down the street we call Sam's Place.
It starts a-jumpin' every evening when the sun goes down.
You can always find me down at Sam's Place,
For that's where the gang all hangs around.

There's ol' Shimmy Shakin' Tina
She hails from Pasadena.
She always got a big smile on her face.
There's Hootch-y-kootchy Hattie, she comes from Cincinnati,
Yeah, there's always a party at Sam's Place.

Well, they've got a swingin' band down at Sam's Place.
You can hear 'em pickin' twenty blocks away.
They're playin' country music down at Sam's Place,
From the setting sun until the break of day.

There's ol' Shimmy Shakin' Tina
She hails from Pasadena.
She always got a big smile on her face.
There's Hootch-y-kootchy Hattie, she comes from Cincinnati,
Yeah, there's always a party at Sam's Place.

And I'll meet you tonight at Sam's Place.

"San Francisco Town"

"San Francisco Town"


Gonna get me up in the morning
The same place that I lay down
And sit there and watch the sun come up
On San Francisco town.

And I mosey down to the corner
Of Gaide and Ashberry street
And maybe if I get lucky
I can bum me a bite to eat.

San Francisco I love you
So sure as the world is around
So hang on high let me live or die
In San Francisco town.

[Instrumental]

My daddy was a doctor
My sister became an nun
My brother made a good lawyer
And me a professional bum.

Well, look at that thoughts come a rollin' in
I better be a movin' on
And find me a place to sleep
Tonight where I can keep warm

San Francisco I love you
So sure as the world is around
So hang on high let me live or die
In San Francisco town...

"Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy"

"Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy"


Santa looked like daddy
Or daddy looked like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a much too thin

He didn't come down the chimney
So momma must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him

Well, they thought I was fast a sleepin'
They thought I was tucked in bed
They never thought I'd come a peepin'
Or that I'd hear what was said

Santa put his arm around mama
And mama put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't daddy,
Then I'm a gonna tell on them

Well, Santa looked like daddy
Or daddy looked like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a much too thin

He didn't come down the chimney
So momma must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him

[Instrumental]

I never saw Dancer or Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw the Red Nosed reindeer
Like they show on the TV screen

But he sure brought a lot of presents
So Santa Claus he must have been
Well, he sure looked a lot like Daddy
And daddy looked a lot like him

Well, Santa looked like daddy
Or daddy looked like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a much too thin

He didn't come down the chimney
So momma must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him...

"Santa's Gonna Come In A Stagecoach"

"Santa's Gonna Come In A Stagecoach"


Well, I've been sorta worried
About Santa Claus this year
'Cause we live way out west
And it didn't snow out here
Well, I'm a tellin' you not to worry
'Cause I just got the word
Everybody listen closely
And I'll tell you what I heard

[Chorus:]
Santa's comin' in a stagecoach
'Stead of his trusty sleigh
He'll have horses instead of reindeer
To carry him on his way
'Cause the weatherman had some problems
He couldn't get snow you see
Santa's gonna come in a stagecoach
When he visits you and me

[Instrumental]

Well, Santa can't bring his reindeer
He'll leave him far away
But don't you worry about him
He's gonna be here Christmas Day
He's gotta big red stagecoat
With jingle bells and all
And there's gonna be merry Christmas
A merry Christmas for all

[Chorus:]
Santa's gonna come in a stagecoach
'Stead of his trusted sleigh
He'll have horses instead of reindeer
To carry him on his way
'Cause the weatherman had some problems
He couldn't get snow you see
Santa's gonna come in a stagecoach
When he visits you and me

Santa's gonna come in a stagecoach
When he visits you and me...

"Satan's Gotta Get Along Without Me"

"Satan's Gotta Get Along Without Me"


Well, now since I turned old Satan down
I know for sure I'm heaven bound
There ain't nothing he can do to stop me
Since he showed me heaven's light
I know for sure I'm headed right
Satan's gotta get along without me.

Well, now Satan's gotta get along without me
'Cause I've been Satan's sin for evermore
Satan's gotta get along without me
'Cause I'm goin' to heaven with my Lord.

[Instrumental]

Well, now Satan might have had a chance
Though once he had me in his grasp
But that was a long, long time ago
Since I've broke the chain of sin
I know for sure that he can't win.

I'm a goin' to heaven with my Lord.

Well, now Satan's gotta get along without me
'Cause I've been Satan's sin for evermore
Satan's gotta get along without me
'Cause I'm goin' to heaven with my Lord.

Yeah now, I'm a goin' to heaven with my Lord...

"Save The Last Dance For Me"

"Save The Last Dance For Me"


You can dance, every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile, every smile for the guy
Who holds your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin' save the last dance for me

Yes, I know that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Dance and sing, but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin' save the last dance for me

[Instrumental]

You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If she asks if you're all alone
Can he take you home, you must tell him no
And don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darling,save the last dance for me

You can dance, every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile, every smile for the guy
Who holds your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin' save the last dance for me...

"Sawmill"

"Sawmill"


Once I was a slave at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy
Talk about a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill.

My work was so hard at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy
Talk about a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill.

See my teardrops falling down
My wife left the saw mill town
She said saw mill life had been a sin
The gravy were too thin.

I can't work no more at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy
Talk about a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill.

[Instrumental]

Well, if you bring your wife to the saw mill
How you gonna please her
How you gonna please her
When she wants a dollar bill.

She'll run away and leave you at the saw mill
Women like a dollar
Women like a dollar
Yes, and women always will.

See my teardrops falling down
My wife left the saw mill town
She said saw mill life had been a sin
The gravy were too thin.

I can't work no more at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy
Talk about a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill.

Women like a dollar
Women like a dollar
Yes, and women always will...

"Second Fiddle"

"Second Fiddle"


I'll play second fiddle to your new love while it lasts
Just like all the others I've played for in the past
Why can't I be a leader and play your leading part?
Why must I always have to play second fiddle in your heart?

[Chorus:]
Play fiddle play.
Will there never come a day
When I won't have to play the part
Of second fiddle to your heart?

Each time you find a new love, you leave me here to cry
The teardrops tell a story, of a love that just won't die.
Like an early mornin' paper, the news you get just parts
Why must I always have to play second fiddle to your heart?

[Chorus:]
Play fiddle play.
Will there never come a day
When I won't have to play the part
Of second fiddle to your heart?
