"All The Dreamin' They Could Stand"

"All The Dreamin' They Could Stand"


Things like other people have
Not just dreams that's all gone bad
She's had all the dreamin' she could stand.

Chased our dreams endlessly
Through it all she stood by me
More than that Lord she was such a friend.
Dreamin's all I had to give
She needed more to live
She's had all the dreamin' she could stand.

She's had all the dreamin' she could stand
She wants something real she can hold in her hand
Things like other people have
(Not just dreams that's all gone bad.)
She's had all the dreamin' she could stand.

[Instrumental]

He was always good to me
Good as anyone could be
I was always part of all his plans
Each time his world would crash and burn
He never had one place to turn
He's had all the dreamin' he could stand

She's had all the dreamin' she could stand
She wants something real she can hold in her hand
Things like other people have
(Not just dreams that's all gone bad.)
She's had all the dreamin' she could stand.

Things like other people have
Not just dreams that's all gone bad
She's had all the dreamin' she could stand...

"All The Way With Jesus"

"All The Way With Jesus"


I'd give up wordly ambition
I'd give up my wordly ways
And I took my trust in Jesus
I know he'll take me all the way.

I'll go all the way with Jesus
All the way to heaven's door
I'll go all the way with Jesus
And stand on heaven's golden floor.

[Instrumental]

Oh, I know my Saviour love me
For he forgave my every sin
And when old Gabriel's trumpet
Sounds at heaven's gate He'll let me in.

I'll go all the way with Jesus
All the way to heaven's door
I'll go all the way with Jesus
And stand on heaven's golden floor...

"Along Came Jones"

"Along Came Jones"



Well I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel Two
A bad gun slinger called Salty Sam was a chasin' poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill and he said with an evil laugh
If you don't gimme the deed to your ranch I'll saw you all in half
And then he grabbed her (and then) he tied her up (and then)
He turned on the buzz saw (and then and then)
Eh eh and then along came Jones tall thin Jones
Slow walking Jones (deep voice) slow talking Jones along came long lean lanky Jones

Well commercial came on so I got up to get myself a snack
You should have seen what was going on by the time I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine sweet Sue was a havin' fits
That villain said gimme the deed to your ranch or I'll blow you all to bits
And then he grabbed her (and then) he tied her up (and then)
He lit the fuse to the dynamite (and then and then)
Eh eh and then along came Jones...

Well I got so bugged I turned it off and turned on another show
But there was the same old shoot-em up and the same old rodeo
Salty Sam was a tryin' to stuff Sweet Sue in a burlap sack
He said if you don't give me the deed to your ranch
I'm gonna throw you on the railroad track
And then he grabbed her (and then) he tied her up (and then)
A train started coming (and then and then) eh eh and then along came Jones...

"Amsterdam"

"Amsterdam"


Amsterdam, old Amsterdam
How I love you Amsterdam
When I get there I'm gonna kiss the ground
Let you stand on Amsterdam.

I left my home and I left my friends
Said I'll be back but I don't know when
Set my sail to the restless wind
So long old Amsterdam.

I picked plums up in Yakimo
And I picked pearls down in Arkansas
Even learned how to say you all
But I still miss Amsterdam
Amsterdam, old Amsterdam.

[Instrumental]

I did my thing in Tokyo
Tried my luck in Kokomo
Searched for bill in Buffalo
But I still miss Amsterdam.

I picked peaches in a Georgia town
And I picked cotton down in Birmingham
At the day I'll get out of Alabam
I'm goin' back to Amsterdam.
Amsterdam, old Amsterdam.
Amsterdam, old Amsterdam...

"Arms Full Of Empty"

"Arms Full Of Empty"



Jump aboard that silver plane
Wave to me through that window pane
Left me with my arms full of empty

Well, I'm so sick and tired of gettin' up
So sick and tired
Sick old dirty clothes and dirty dishes
I'm tired of all these sleepless nights
That drive me up to walls
Tired of having arms full of empty

Oh, you took my car and took my money
Done me wrong and that ain't funny
Left me standing here a looking silly
Jump aboard that silver plane
(Wave to me through the window pane)
Left me with my arms full of empty

(Darling, if you will come back
I promise you that I won't be mad
For I never was one to burn bridges
I ain't had no tender loving care
Since you've been gone
I've only had two arms full of empty)

Oh, you took my car and took my money
Done me wrong and that ain't funny
Left me standing here a-looking silly
Jump aboard that silver plane
(Wave to me through the window pane)
Left me with my arms full of empty

Jump aboard that silver plane
Wave to me through that window pane
Left me with my arms full of empty

"Ashes Of Love"

"Ashes Of Love"



Ashes of love, cold as ice
You made the debt, I'll pay the price
Our love is gone, there's no doubt
Ashes of love, the flame's burnt out

The love light's a-gleam in your eyes
Has gone out to my surprise
We said goodbye, my heart bled
I can't revive your love that is dead

Ashes of love, cold as ice
You made the debt, I'll pay the price
Our love is gone, there's no doubt
Ashes of love, the flame's burnt out

I trusted you, our love would stand
Your every wish was my command
My heart tells me I must forget
I loved you then, I love you yet

Ashes of love, cold as ice
You made the debt, I'll pay the price
Our love is gone, there's no doubt
Ashes of love, the flame's burnt out

Ashes of love, cold as ice
You made the debt, I'll pay the price
Our love is gone, there's no doubt
Ashes of love, the flame's burnt out

"Bad Bad Dream"

"Bad Bad Dream"


Somehow I'm not gettin' through to you
For you don't treat me like you used to do
I see a far away look in your eyes
And I'm afraid that we're saying goodbye.

I had a bad bad dream last night
I dreamed that someone else was holding you tight
Another's arms were holdin' you
Another's lips were kissin' you
I had a bad bad dream last night.

[Instrumental]

Oh, I don't hardly know you anymore
For you don't act the same as before
Hold me close and whisper I love you
And that my bad bad dream won't come true.

I had a bad bad dream last night
I dreamed that someone else was holding you tight
Another's arms were holdin' you
Another's lips were kissin' you
I had a bad bad dream last night...

"Beautiful Morning Glory"

"Beautiful Morning Glory"


Beautiful morning glory
Kissed and caressed by the dew
Beautiful morning glory
Good morning glory to you.

I've traveled all over the country
I seldom sleep in a bed
When my feet get tired of walking
I simply stand on my (head.)

Beautiful morning glory
Kissed and caressed by the dew
Beautiful morning glory
Good morning glory to you.

I stopped at a house for a handout
I didn't go there to beg
And I'd jumped the great big ol' bulldog
And took her bite out off my (leg.)

Beautiful morning glory
Kissed and caressed by the dew
Beautiful morning glory
Good morning glory to you.

[Instrumental]

I once had a bald headed girl friend
I knocked her wig off at a dance
And when I stooped over to get it
She kicked me right in my (pants.)

Beautiful morning glory
Kissed and caressed by the dew
Beautiful morning glory
Good morning glory to you.

Good morning glory to you...

"Because It's Christmas Time"

"Because It's Christmas Time"


Now is the time for sleigh bells to ring
Now is the time for children to sing
Now is the time for white Christmas for Bing
Because it's Christmas time.

Now is the time to hang mistletoe
Now is the time to run through the snow
Now is the time to sing old Rudolph's Nose
Because it's Christmas time.

Christmas time is a-comin'
Santa's not far away
You can almost hear his ho ho ho
And the jingleing of his sleigh.

Now is the time,
Christmas stories we will tell
Now is the time,
Hang your stocking on the nail
Now is the time,
Let us sing Jingle Bells
Because it's Christmas time.

[Instrumental]

Christmas time is a-comin'
Santa's not far away
You can almost hear his ho ho ho
And the jingleing of his sleigh...

"Before You Go"

"Before You Go"


Oh, you say that you're goin' away and leave me
And you say you ain't never coming back
That you're sick and tired of how I'm doing
And you're gonna head off down the track.

But darlin' before you go be sure you know how much I love you
And that I'm sorry for the quarrels that we had
If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces
So take it slow be sure you know before you go.

[Instrumental]

Oh, your wounded pride has blinded your reason
And right now you want to hurt me if you can
The man is waiting here to take you to the station
And you're leaving with your ticket in your hand.

But darlin' before you go be sure you know how much I love you
And that I'm sorry for the quarrels that we had
If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces
So take it slow be sure you know before you go...
