"Close Up The Honky Tonks"

"Close Up The Honky Tonks"



She's in some honky tonk tonight I know
She's dancing where the music's loud and lights're low
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down
So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
Close up the honky tonks throw away the key
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

I wish I had the power to turn back the time
And live again the hours when she was all mine
But it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown
And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down
So close up the honky tonks...

"Cold Cold Wind"

"Cold Cold Wind"



In the silence of this darken room
My mind reels with a fragnance of your perfume
In your mind stormy thoughts are growing
Mhm, I feel a cold, cold wind a blowing
Woman, I feel a cold, cold wind a blowing

It's been a lifetime since I been close to you
Still no one really knows you like I do
With clouds in your mind and ray in your eyes a showing
Mhm, I feel a cold, cold wind a blowing
Woman I feel a cold, cold wind a blowing.

With my arms around you I hold you tight
Though you do the same to me, girl you don't feel right
You've got a way of leavin' without going
Mhm, I feel a cold, cold wind a blowing
Woman, I feel a cold, cold wind a blowing...

"Congratulations, You're Absolutely Right"

"Congratulations, You're Absolutely Right"


If you see me walking round in circles
If you see me staring at the sky
If you think I still miss you since you left me
Congratulations, you're absolutely right.

If you think life's been empty since you left me
If you think that I cry for you at night
If you think I take you back in a minute
Congratulations, you're absolutely right.

[Instrumental]

If you think that I try to call your number
If you think I drive by your house at night
If you think I still love you like I used to
Congratulations, you're absolutely right.

If you think life's been empty since you left me
If you think that I cry for you at night
If you think I take you back in a minute
Congratulations, you're absolutely right...

"Corn Liquor"

"Corn Liquor"


Well, when I was a little bitty boy
No bigger than an old polecat
Well, I used to wonder like all kids
What made this to that.

Now I'd seen what happened to my pa
When he take a drink from a jug
Yeah, he'd start with a smile and then after awhile
He'd be out on the floor like rug.

Corn liquor (corn liquor)
Corn liquor (corn liquor)
What makes you do what you do
Well, they feel no pain
When you touch their brain
Corn liquor they love you.

[Instrumental]

Well, now one day in the afternoon
My folks were away for awhile
Yeah, I got the jug down from the shelf
To see what made 'em smile.

Now I slowly sip in the nearly flip
That one drink was enough
For the life of me I just can't see
Why they love that awful stuff.

Corn liquor (corn liquor)
Corn liquor (corn liquor)
What makes you do what you do
Well they feel no pain
When you touch their brain
Corn liquor they love you.

[Instrumental]

Well, as I grew older I thought about
That first sip that I had
Yeah, I really burned and soon I learned
It wasn't all that bad.

Now to ease the pressures of this world
Here's the way I've got it figured
Well, the thing to do for me and you
Is drink lotsa good corn liquor.

Corn liquor (corn liquor)
Corn liquor (corn liquor)
What makes you do what you do
Well they feel no pain
When you touch their brain
Corn liquor they love you.

Yeah, I feel no pain when you touch my brain
Corn liquor I love you...

"Cotton Fields"

"Cotton Fields"


When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In those old cotton fields back home
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In those old cotton fields back home

Oh, when those cotton ball get rotten
You can't take very much rockin'
In them old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

[Instrumental]

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In those old cotton fields back home

Oh, when those cotton ball get rotten
You can't take very much rockin'
In them old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In those old cotton fields back home
In those old cotton fields back home...

"Crying Time"

"Crying Time"



I can tell by the way you hold me, darlin'
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Oh, they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I lived to be a hundred years old

Oh it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darlin'
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Oh, you say that you found someone you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door
Oh it's crying time again...
I can tell by the way you hold me, darlin'
That it won't be long before it's crying time

"Dang Me"

"Dang Me"


Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Buep
Beau Beau Beau Beau Beum
Boop Boop Boop Boop Boop Boop Boow
Boop Boop Boop Boow Boow

Well, here I sat high, getting ideas.
I ain't nothing but a fool to live like this.
Out all night, running wild,
Woman sitting home with a month old child.

[Chorus:]
I said, Dang me, Dang me
They ought to take a rope and hang me.
High, from the highest tree.
Woman would you weep for me

Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Buep
Beau Beau Beau Beum
One More time
Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Buep
Beau Beau Beau Beum

Sitting round drinking with the rest of the guys.
Six rounds bought, and I bought five.
I spent the groceries and half the rent,
Like 14 dollers and 27 cents.

[Chorus:]
I said, Dang me, Dang me
They ought to take a rope and hang me.
High, from the highest tree.
Woman, would you weep for me

Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Buep
Beau Beau Beau Beum
One More time
Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Buep
Beau Beau Beau Beum

Roses are red, and violets are purple
Sugars sweet and so is maple surple.
But I'm the seventh out of the seven sons.
My daddy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun.

[Chorus:]
I said, Dang me, Dang me
They ought to take a rope and hang me.
High, from the highest tree.
Woman would you weep for me

Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Buep
Beau Beau Beau Beum
Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Beup Buep
Beau Beau Beau Beum
Beau Beau Beau Beap

"Darling You Can Depend On Me"

"Darling You Can Depend On Me"



When you're deep in desperation
Filled with panic and frustration
Sinking low in the depths of despair
When the world seems out to hurt you
When your so-called friends desert you
Reach for me, little darling, I'll be there

Let me put my arms around you
Let me hold you closer to me
Let me kiss away your troubles
Darling, you can depend on me

When you wake in the morning and without any warning
You find that your whole world's disappeared
Suddenly you are facin' that most helpless situation
Reach for me, little darling, I'll be there

Let me put my arms around you
Let me hold you closer to me
Let me kiss away your troubles
Darling, you can depend on me

Darling you can depend on me

"Devil Made Me Do It"

"Devil Made Me Do It"



Got off work at five o'clock and started home to you
Run into an old acquaintance, and we had one or two
And when I woke up this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do it.

I only meant to say hello to an old memory
But when I tried to say goodbye he took a hold of me
And when he let go this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do it.

The devil made me taste the wine and helped the glass abide
And like the blind man leads the blind I drank till lid ran dry
And when I woke up this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do it.

Oh, when I got home this morning
Didn't know where you were at
My one excuse to offer you
The devil made me do it...

Diggy Liggy Li and Diggy Liggy Lo
Fell in love at the fais-do-do
The pop was cold and the coffee chaud
For Diggy Liggy Li and Diggy Liggy Lo.

[Refrain:]
Diggy Liggy Li loved Diggy Liggy Lo
Everyone knew he was her beau
No one else could ever show
So much love for Diggy Liggy Lo.

There's a place they find romance
Where they do the Cajun dance
Steal a kiss with ev'ry chance
Show their love with ev'ry glance.

Diggy Liggy Li loved Diggy Liggy Lo
Everyone knew he was her beau
No one else could ever show
So much love for Diggy Liggy Lo.

Now he's got a Pa-in-law
Moved out where the Bayou's low
Now he's got a little Diggy Liggy Lo.

[Refrain:]

Everyone knew he was her beau
No one else could ever show
So much love for Diggy Liggy Lo...
