"Riverboat Gamblers"

"Riverboat Gamblers"


Like a pair of riverboat gambler
We both seen our share of losing hands
We layed our hearts out on the table
Hoping love is strong enough to win.
But when love's been dealing off the bottom
You always want to cut the cards again.
And girl, unless you're only bluffing,
This time we're both cashing in.

Like a pair of riverboat gamblers
Playin' the odds that love is coming in.
You're the queen of hearts I'm countin' on.
The one this Joker's money is on to win.
I've got a solitary feeling
I'll never have to ante up again.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
We just might win a hand.

Once you've lost your heart to cheaters
Your dreams of winning love begin to die.
When you wake up with a stranger
You know there's no diamonds in the sky.
So girl, let's put our hands together.
We ain't got nothin' left to lose.
Except the chance that we might make it
And that's a deal we can't refuse.

Like a pair of riverboat gamblers
Playin' the odds that love is comin' in.
You're the queen of hearts I'm countin' on.
The one this Joker's money is on to win.
I've got a solitary feelin'
I'll never have to ante up again.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
We just might win a hand.

If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
A pair might win a hand...

"Rocky Top"

"Rocky Top"


Wish that I was on ole Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke up on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills.

Once I had a girl on ole Rocky Top
Part bear the other part cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that.

Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.

Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from ol' Rocky Top
Reckon they never will.

Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar.

Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.

Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Rocky Top Tennessee...

"Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms"

"Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms"


Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Hey, where were you last Saturday night
While I was a layin' in jail
Go around town with another man
You wouldn't even come and go my bail

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Ain't gonna work on the railroad
I sure ain't gonna work on no farm
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

"Rose"

"Rose"


Just two kids from the country far from any town
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose.

Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose.

So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose...

"Sadness Of It All"

"Sadness Of It All"


She works day and night in a dingy cafe
Feedin' locals and passers by
She never complains of a heartache and pain
But sometimes she breaks down to cry
And her honky tonk husband spends most of his time
Drinking whiskey and watching TV
And now rumor has it he's foolin' around
But the rumor she she does not believe

And the sadness of that all is I could fall
Like rain from the sky for you
Sadness of that all is I could fall
Like rain from the sky for you

Each night at nine around closin' time
He drops by to say hello
We sit down and talk and go for walk
It gets just as far as it goes

And the sadness of it all...
And the sadness of it all...

"Sally Was A Good Ole Girl"

"Sally Was A Good Ole Girl"


Will Sally used to carry my books to school Sally was a good ole girl
Helped me with my homework cause I was a fool Sally was a good ole girl
If I wanted a kiss or a little bitty squeeze
She was willing to do her best to please
A girl made for lovin' and not made to tease Sally was a good ole girl

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

Her folks were poor but she helped all she could Sally was a good ole girl
The hardest working girl in the neighborhood Sally was a good ole girl
She walked up and down the streets all day
Sellin' neck ties to the one's who'd pay
If they couldn't affor 'em she would give them away Sally was a good ole girl

Yeah Sally was a good ole girl...

Sally was a favorite with all of the men Sally was a good ole girl
All the other girls despised her then Sally was a good ole girl
All the women talk about her but Sally didn'tcare
She kept on a workin' and doin' her share
She wound up married to a millionare Sally was a good ole girl

Yeah Sally was a good ole girl...
Yeah Sally was a good ole girl...
Sally was a good ole girl...
Sally was a good ole girl...

"Sand Covered Angels"

"Sand Covered Angels"


Three sunburned noses,
The color of roses,
Bobby's got a frog in his pocket
Where is your sister
For an hour I've missed her
She's trying to find her gold locket.

And your tow-headed brother
Has startled his mother
Trying to swallow his dime.
Do you really think
The fish liked that ink
Sand covered angels of mine.

There's crayons and mittens
And a box full of kittens
Though we always called that cat Tommy
Torn shirts and dresses
And rooms that are messes
And that's a bit hard on your mommy.

Bruises amd splinters
And colds in the winter
Making up stories that rhyme
Noses need blowing
Clothes you're out growing
Sand covered angels of mine.

Fingerprints on the wall
Of the bathroom and hall
Mending your toys takes my time
But the joy I would miss
If I couldn't kiss
Sand covered angels of mine...

"Saturday Night Special"

"Saturday Night Special"


Well, I was there to buy a pistol
She was there to hauck her ring
The broker in the pawnshop
Deals in almost anything.

He'll pay you for your misery
Or he'll sell you someone's pain
And that twinkle in his greedy eye
Says your loss will be his gain.

She stood back in the shadows
As the broker dealt with me
Her eyes were dark and desperate
From some private misery.

His words were so prophetic
When he said you got a steal
I said throw in one bullet
And you got yourself a deal.

Oh, a Saturday night special
Is an easy thing to buy
All you got to be is twenty-one
Or fifteen if you lie.

Just hand the man money
And if some ones gotta die
The broker in the pawnshop
Won't even blink an eye.

Well, he handed me the pistol
And I was almost to the door
When I heard him tell the lady
Seven dollars nothing more.

The lady started crying
As he took her wedding band
Well, my hand was in my pocket
And the gun was in my hand.

I was gonna use that bullet
To end my life
I was once somebody's husband
She was once somebody's wife.

Well, I usually mind my business
But I could not walk away
His dollars just weren't making sense
And I knew I had to stay.

Well, the broker's face turned pasty
When he caught my icy stare
It would never leave my pocket
But he knew the gun was there.

I asked him what his life was worth
And he opened up that drawer
For a simple golden wedding band
He paid $2000 more.

That Saturday night was special
Even though it wasn't planned
As we walked down the sidewalk
She reached and took my hand.

We crossed the bridge and I took that gun
And sailed it through the air
I said, "Ever been to Texas?"
She said, "I think I'd love it there."

Oh, a Saturday night special
Is an easy thing to buy
All you got to be is twenty-one
Or fifteen if you lie

But there's a pawnshop in the city
That used to deal in everything
Ha, but you can't buy a pistol there,
You cant hawk your wedding ring...

"Seasons Of My Heart"

"Seasons Of My Heart"


The seasons come the seasons go
We get sunshine rain and snow
Just the way that it was planned to be.
But there's no seasons in my heart
While you play the leading part
'Cause the flowers will bloom eternaly.

Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears, like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
Darling, we could be happy after all.

Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears, like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
Darling, we could be happy after all.

And she did, and it did, and Lord knows I didn't
And I know I'll never again
She left me somewhere between, it's over and the end
With more than an effort to destroy any man.

There'll never be another to share the love that lives
'Cause her leaving left me no love to give

I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me
I'll never forget her for the love we had then.
And she didm and it did, and Lord knows
I didn't and I know I'll never again.

I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me
I'll never forget her for the love we had then.
And she didm and it did, and Lord knows
I didn't and I know I'll never again...

"Sensitive Heart"

"Sensitive Heart"


Don't tell me you don't love me even if it's just in fun
I love you so much the shock of it would kill me before you were done
And never say you're leaving I die before you could start
When it comes to you and our love I have sensitive heart.

I never knew such happiness I feel with you each day and night
I never thought a woman could mean so much to one man's life
Tears come to my eyes just thinking that we could ever part
For darling I love you so much in my sensitive heart.

I never knew such happiness I feel with you each day and night
I never thought a woman could mean so much to one man's life
Tears come to my eyes just thinking that we could ever part
For darling I love you so much in my sensitive heart...
