"Twice The Speed Of Love"

"Twice The Speed Of Love"

Your eyes are always filled with sweet temptation
And the way you look at me sets me on fire
When it comes to your lips there's no hesitation
I'm like a puppet on a string filled with desire

[Chorus:]
And I'd travel twice the speed of love to get to your charms
I'd walk on by to hold you in my arms
And I'd travel twice the speed of love never to part
Twice the speed of love to be the prisoner of your heart

I never thought that I could be so lonely
But that's the way I feel without you
And every girl I know is like a stranger
'Cause they don't make me feel the way you do

[Chorus]

I'd travel twice the speed of love to be the prisoner of your heart

[Chorus]

"Uncle Pen"

"Uncle Pen"

Late in the evenin' about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh, how it would ring
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing.

Well, the people would come from far away
They'd dance all night till the break of day
When the caller hollered do-se-do
We knew Uncle Pen was ready to go.

Late in the evenin' about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh, how it would ring
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing.

Well, he played an old tune called Soldier's Joy
And the one they called Boston Boy
The greatest of all was Jenny Lind
To me, that's where the fiddlin' began.

Late in the evenin' about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh, how it would ring
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing.

[Instrumental]

Well, I'll never forget that mournful day
When Uncle Pen was called away
Hang up his fiddle, hang up his bow
Knew it was time for him to go.

Late in the evenin' about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh, how it would ring
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing...

"Under The Influence Of Love"

"Under The Influence Of Love"

She knew I knew that she was out to get me
But I just close my eyes and let it be
Now she walks by me like she never met me
I didn't even make a memory

For I was under the influence of love
I wonder now what I was thinking of
Yes I was so in love I let her
Hurtin' me though I knew better
Under the influence of love

Why did I let her do me like she done me
Why can't I get that woman off my mind
Although I know she never truly loved me
I wish she break my heart just one time

For I was under the influence of love
I wonder now what I was thinking of
Yes I was so in love I let her
Hurtin' me though I knew better
Under the influence of love

"Under Your Spell Again"

"Under Your Spell Again"

[Chorus:]
You've got me under your spell, again,
Sayin' those things, again
Makin' me believe that you're just mine.
You've got me dreamin' those dreams, again
Makin' those things, again,
I've gotta take you back just one more time

I swore the last time that you let me down
That I wouldn't see you if you came around,
But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong
And I've been so lonely since you've been gone

[Chorus:]
You've got me under your spell, again,
Sayin' those things, again
Makin' me believe that you're just mine.
You've got me dreamin' those dreams, again
Makin' those things, again,
I've gotta take you back just one more time

[Instrumental]

Well, everybody tells me that I'm a fool
That, I never should have put my faith in you
And way down deep inside I guess I know it's true
But no one else can make me feel the way you do.

[Chorus:]
You've got me under your spell, again,
Sayin' those things, again
Makin' me believe that you're just mine.
You've got me dreamin' those dreams, again
Makin' those things, again,
I've gotta take you back just one more time...

"Understand Your Man"

"Understand Your Man"

Well, don't call my name out your window
I'm leavin', I won't ever turn my head
Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin'
I'll be gone like I said.

You'd say the same old things that you've been saying all along
Lay there in bed and keep your mouth shut till I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cussin', moanin', groan
Understand your man
Tidy your bad mouth and understand your man.

[Instrumental]

You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army
And anything else I leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'
While I'm untanglin' my mind.

I ain't gonna repear what I've said anymore
While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man
You hear me talkin' honey, understand your man.

Remember what I tell you understand your man...

"Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus"

"Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus"

Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And we find we're gettin' anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness
Wait a little longer please Jesus there are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus a few more days to get our loved ones in

We may look into the skies and tears may fill our eyes
For our burdened heart grows heavier with each day
First we cry oh Lord please come come take your children home
But then we look around us and we say
Wait a little longer...

"Waitin' In Your Welfare Line"

"Waitin' In Your Welfare Line"

I got the hungries for your love,
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line.

Well, I ain't got nothin'
But the shirt on my back,
And an old two button suit
I walked outta my job
About a week ago,
And now I'm sleepin' in a
Telephone booth
But I'm a-gonna be
The richest guy around,
The day you say you're mine

I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Well, when I first saw you babe,
You nearly made me wreck
My ol' '49 Cadillac
I knew at a glance
That it was you for me;
I had to have your love by heck
I'm gonna follow you baby
Wherever you go;
I got nothin' to lose
But my time

I got the hungries for your love,
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

[Instrumental]

Well, you made me
The top dog on your hill,
And I was overjoyed
But it didn't take long
'Til the thrill was gone,
I joined the ranks of
The unemployed
Now, I'm right back where
That I started from,
But that ain't gonna
Change my mind

I got the hungries for your love,
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Yeah, I'm waitin' in your welfare line
(Gimme a handout)
I'm waitin' in your welfare line...

"Walk The Floors"

"Walk The Floors"

Since you went away I've had the blues
Everything is wrong since I lost you
Only God knows what I'm going through
Walk the floor and worry over you.

Haven't slept a wink since you've been gone
Don't know how I'll stand this very long
Only God knows what I'm going through
Walk the floor and worry over you.

[Instrumental]

Maybe someday you'll return to me
And things will be the way they used to be
Only you can make my dreams come true
Walk the floor and worry over you.

Haven't slept a wink since you've been gone
Don't know how I'll stand this very long
Only God knows what I'm going through
Walk the floor and worry over you...

"We Split The Blanket"

"We Split The Blanket"

Every night I go out somebody asks me
Whatever happened to you
I just say that I haven't seen you lately
And then I say my friend I thought you knew.

That we split the blanket down the middle
'Cause we could never get along
We split the blanket down the middle
That's all you can do when love is gone.

[Instrumental]

Well, I tell 'em that we tried and tried to make it
But we couldn't solve what was the use
To hang on to love it's only mis'ry
Ao now I'm fancy free and foot loose.

Yes, we split the blanket down the middle
'Cause we could never get along
We split the blanket down the middle
That's all you can do when love is gone...

"We Were Made For Each Other"

"We Were Made For Each Other"

We were made for each other
I'm for you (you're for me)
There will never be another
I'll be yours eternally.

For as long as the world turns
And the leaves of autumn fall
Long as there's a star in heaven
I'll be waitin' for your call.

We were made for each other
I'm for you (you're for me)
There will never be another
I'll be yours eternally.

[Instrumental]

(For as long as the wind blows
Long as summer follows spring
Long as winter brings the snowflakes
I will love you constantly.)

We were made for each other
I'm for you (you're for me)
There will never be another
I'll be yours eternally...

No there will never be another
I'll be yours eternally...
