Mem'ries

Mem'ries

Mem'ries I've got a million of those mem'ries in my mind
Mem'ries I think I've got enough to leave you behind
Oh mem'ries they used to make me warm but now I find
Mem'ries only make me feel old before my time
Mem'ries try not to think about the mem'ries all the time
Mem'ries forget the days when your sweet love was mine
Oh mem'ries I used to welcome them but now I find
Mem'ries only make me feel old before my time
Is there a way to make them go away now that I finally realize
Mem'ries only make me feel old before my time

Miller's Cave

Miller's Cave

Way down in the state of Georgia through the swamps and the everglades
There's a big ol' hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave
I had me a girl in waycross Georgia but she had unfaithful way
She made me feel I was unwanted like the birds and the bears in Miller's Cave
I couldn't stand the way she did me couldn't take her lowdown ways
Before I'll stay with the cheatin' woman I'll go and live with the bears in Miller's Cave

Caught her out one Sunday morning with some guy they call Big Dave
The meanest man in waycross Georgia I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave
I said you'll pay both you and Davy I'm a gonna see you in your grave
They laughed at me and then I shot 'em
I took their cheatin' schemin' bones to Miller's Cave
That woman made me feel unwanted but I guess I showed her I was brave
The most wanted man in the state of Georgia
But they'll never gonna find me cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave

Mind Your Own Business

Mind Your Own Business

If the wife and I are fussin' brother that's our right
Cause me and that sweet woman's got a licence to fight
Why don't you mind your own business mind your own business
Cause if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine
On the woman on our party line's a nosey thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring
Why don't you mind your own businesss mind your own business
So if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine
Well I got a little gal that wears her hair up high
The boys all whistle out every time she walks by
Why don't you mind your own businesss mind your own business
For if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine
[ guitar ]
If I wanna honky tonk around till two or three
Brother that's my headache don't you worry bout me
Why don't you mind your own businesss mind your own business
So if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine
Mindin' other people's business seems to be hightone
But I got all that I can do just midin' my own
Why don't you mind your own businesss mind your own business
For if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine
For if you mind your own business you'll stay busy all the time

Missin' You

Missin' You

Well, I wake up every mornin'
Throw some water on my face
I look up in the mirror
I can see that nothing's changed

I don't know why I go to bed
'Cause I never sleep a wink
All I do without you here
Is lie awake and think

Missin' you
Every night, I call your name
Missin' you
Every day the same old thing

Missin' you
Oh, what else can I do?
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
And I'm still missin' you

I went to church last Sunday
And I got down on my knees
I sent up a prayer just askin' please
Just to send down a little peace

You know, lately I just walk the line
To occupy my time
But I end up where I started from
With you back on my mind

Missin' you
Every night, I call your name
Missin' you
Every day the same old thing

Missin' you
Oh, what else can I do?
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
And I'm still missin' you

The sun comes up, the sun goes down
And I'm still missin' you

Mississippi Cotton Pickin' Delta Town

Mississippi Cotton Pickin' Delta Town

In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town
One dusty street to walk up and down
Nothin' much to see but a starvin' hound
In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

Down in the Delta where I was born
All we raised was cotton, potatoes and corn
I've picked cotton till my fingers hurt
Draggin' the sack through that Delta dirt

And I've worked hard the whole week long
Pickin' my fingers to the blood and bone
There ain't a lot of money in a cotton bale
At least when you try to sell

In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town
One dusty street to walk up and down
Nothin' much to see but a starvin' hound
In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

On Saturday nights we'd get dressed up
Catch us a ride on a pickup truck
On a gravel road, it nearly strangled us
That cotton pickin' Delta dust

We'd sit across the street on the depot porch
Lookin' at the folks lookin' back at us
Munchin' on a dust covered ice cream cone
Wondering how we'd get back home

From a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town
One dusty street to walk up and down
Nothin' much to do but just hang around
In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

From a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town
One dusty street to walk up and down
Nothin' much to do but just hang around
In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

Moanin' The Blues

Moanin' The Blues

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in there wasn't nothing I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands oh Lord what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin' moanin' the blues
I wrote a nice long letter sayin' mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan
I've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long I can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must have been wrong cause my head is startin' to bow
And now I'm moanin' moanin' the blues
[ steel - guitar ]
If you want a good gal to stay around you got to treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town and you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll be moanin' moanin' the blues
Oh baby baby baby honey baby please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan
I promise you baby that I'll be good and I'll never be bad no more
Sittin' here waitin' for you right now to walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues then I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues

More And More

More And More

More and more, I'm forgetting the past
More and more, I'm living at last

Day by day, I'm losing my blues
More and more, I'm forgetting about you

You know how I tried keep you by my side
You know how I cried the day you said goodbye

Day by day, I'm losing my blues
More and more, I'm forgetting about you

But oh, how I tried keep you by my side
And oh, how I cried the day you said goodbye

Day by day, I'm losing my blues
More and more, I'm forgetting about you

Day by day, I'm losing my blues
More and more, I'm forgetting about you

More To Me

More To Me

Yes more to me than anything else I've ever known
More to me than anything else I'm ever gonna see
Just your love is all that I need to depend upon
And each day that passes by you're more to me

When I'm gone away thoughts of you keep a runnin' through my mind
Like a sunny day I can feel your warm sweet love light shinin'
All over me till I'm back in your arms again
And every time I find the feeling's stronger than it's ever been

Yes more to me than anything else I've ever known
More to me than anything else I'm ever gonna see

Just your love is all that I need to depend upon
And each day that passes by you're more to me

Till my life is through you're the one that I'll be livin' for
Every day with you I just seem to need you even more
And I want to say that I never thought I'd see
Anyone like you who cares so much for someone else like me

'Cause more to me than anything else I've ever known
More to me than anything else I'm ever gonna see
Just your love is all that I need to depend upon
And each day that passes by you're more to me
And each day that passes by you're more to me

My Love Is Deep My Love Is Wide

My Love Is Deep My Love Is Wide

My love is deep my love is wide you can't see across to the other side
My love is deep my love is wide
I've got too much love for you for me too hard to hide

People say I'm not the man not they used to know
Something made a change come over me
And when I feel such happiness I guess it's gotta show
Cause I'm a happy man that's plain to see

Cause baby my love is deep...
[ steel ]
When I'm gone the only thing I think about is you
And all your sweet love that you give to me
And you're a part of every single thing I ever do
And that's the way it's always gonna be
Cause baby my love is deep...
I've got too much love for you for me too hard to hide

My Son Calls Another Man Daddy

My Son Calls Another Man Daddy

Tonight my head is bowed in sorrow I can't keep the tears from my eyes
My son calls another man daddy the right to his love I've been denied
My son calls another man daddy he'll never know my name nor my face
God only knows how it hurts me for another to be in my place
[ steel ]
Each night I lay there in prison I pictured a future so bright
For he was my one ray of sunshine that shone through the darkness of night
Today his mother shares a new love she just couldn't stand my disgrace
My son calls another man daddy...
For another to be in my place
