"Somewhere Just Out Of Her Mind"

"Somewhere Just Out Of Her Mind"


Somewhere lost in another world
Nowhere can I find another girl
I lost her, then lost me
How could I have been so blind
I'm somewhere just out of her mind.

I was in her eyes for a while then in her smile
I was in her heart for a time
A man that lost his way but he lost his love one day
Somewhere just out of her mind.

Somewhere lost in another world
Nowhere can I find another girl
I lost her, then lost me
How could I have been so blind
I'm somewhere just out of her mind.

Somewhere lost just out of her mind...

"Song For Ruby"

"Song For Ruby"


Oh let's all sing a song for Ruby
Sing a song about what used to be
Let's all sing a song for Ruby
Ruby is a jewel to me

We've all sung a song about good times and some we did on the bet
There's one for Linda and Brenda and someone we can't forget
But there's one we forgot to remember she'll be the first to agree
Let's all sing a song for Ruby Ruby sang her song for me

So let's all sing a song for Ruby...

You may find her down at Tootsie's or a honky tonk way across town
Or the Holiday Inn with some of her friends it might be that she might be found
Don't miss her show at the showcase she'll do it all for free
Let's all sing a song for Ruby Ruby sang her song for me

So let's all sing a song for Ruby...
So let's all sing a song for Ruby...
Oh let's all sing a song for Ruby...

"Sound Of An Angel's Wings"

"Sound Of An Angel's Wings"


Jenny was the girl that I once called my own
Then came the day my Jenny left me all alone
She died 'neath the wheels of a midnight train
Trying to find the high school ring
And that's when I first heard the sound of an angel's wings.

Oh, how my poor heart cried the day they took her away
And then something deep inside me seemed to say
Goodbye my love, remember me, I'll wait for you in eternity
And again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.

I slowly walked back to my home down by the sea
And there on the shelf was a picture of my Jenny and me
And I fell to my knees as the teardrops streamed
And I cried, Oh Lord, let it all be a dream.
But again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.

I ran down to the sea so deep and wide
I just had to be by my darling Jenny's side
And I cried, Oh Jenny please wait for me
Then jumped into the angry sea.
And again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.

And the last thing I heard was the sound of my angel's wings...

"Southern Comfort"

"Southern Comfort"


Well, I know a lady in Alabam'
And one or two in Louisian'
And when my troubles feel like the weight of the world
I go to the arms of those southern girls.

and get that Southern comfort Whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort, It makes me feel so fine.

A Mississippi miss will set you free
And so will those ladies up in Tennessee
And if you ain't had yourself a Georgia kiss
You don't know what you have missed.

I love that southern comfort whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort it makes me feel so fine.

So here's to the ladies with the soft Texas drawls
And all of those beauties in Arkansas
From up in Kentucky to Caroline,
I'll never get you off of my mind.

I love your southern comfort whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort It makes me feel so fine.

I love your southern comfort Whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort It makes me feel so fine.

So fine...

"Spiders And Snakes"

"Spiders And Snakes"


I remember when Loretta Lynn said ,
You want to walk me home again
And I said, mhm yes I do.
And she said, Well I don't want to go right home
And I'm the kind that don't want to be alone
If you would I would too.

Ha, ha and so we took a stroll
And wound down by a swimmin' hole
And she said do what you wonna do, I don't care
Mhm, I got silly and I found me a frog
In the water by a holler log
And I said Loretta this frog's for you.

I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you.

Well, I think of that girl from time to time
And I phone up when I got me dime
And I say, Hello baby, ain't you cool
Ha, ha she said, Do you remember when
And you like to get together again
If you do hey, I see I'm just cool.

Ha, ha Well I am shy and so for awhile
Most of my lovin' was tough and smile
Till she said come on over here, I don't care
Mhm mhm I would never say you might guess
Still lookin' for somethin' but a sneak out of dress
And she said... ha ha ha.

Yeah, I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you...

"Splish Splash"

"Splish Splash"


Splish Splash, I was takin' a bath
Long about a saturday night, yeah
Rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright.

Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor,
I wrapped the towel around me
And I opened the door, and then
Splish, Splash! I jumped back in the bath
Well, how was I to know there was a party going on

They was a-splishin' and a-splashin',
Reelin' with the feelin', moving and a-groovin,
Rockin' and a-rollin', yeah!

Bing, bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancing on my living room rug, yeah!
Flip, flop, they was doing the bop
All the teens had the dancin bug.

There was lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good Golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too!
A-well-a, Splish Splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin shoes on, yay.

Movin and a groovin',

"Star Spangled Heaven"

"Star Spangled Heaven"


Over the battle fields of all the great wars
Since the beginning of time Have walked perhaps
The bravest heroes of them all.
The men known simply by the soldiers as the Chaplain.
And this is the story of but one of the many
And many thousands who gave his life in the service
Of his God and his country.

There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.

An old, old army chaplain who was stooped and bent with years
Was walkin' o'er the battle field his old eyes filled with tears.
He was searching for the wounded to try to ease their pain
And for those he knew would never live to rise and fight again.
For life for them was over their earthly cares were done
They had gone to meet their Saviour their battle had been won.
And I couldn't help but notice as he went from place to place
That each soldier boy had died fighting with a smile upon his face.
And I saw him kneel beside each one and slowly breathe the prayer
While the tears were streamin' down his face
And the wind blew through his hair.
And I could hear the big guns boomin' o'er the hill and not too far away
And as I turned to leave him that's when I heard him say.

There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.

Though days and month and even years
Have slowly drifted by
And all we have are the mem'ries
Of our boys who have to die.
They're living with their Saviour beyond the crystal sea
In the Star Spangled Heaven throughout eternity...

"Steady As She Goes"

"Steady As She Goes"


I thought she'd never sail away
I thought her love was here to stay
I thought my arms were her safe harbor
But today a storm came up
And I'm about to lose her love
Leavin' me in troubled water
When she's gone I'll break apart
But 'til then I'll tell my heart.

Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinking like a stone.
But heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.

Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.

While she sails to someone else
I'll just keep it to myself
That I'd give anything to keep her
I can't change the changin' tide
I can't change her changin' mind
And tears just make the ocean deeper
'Til she's forever out of sight
I'll tell my heart to hold on tight.

Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinkin' like a stone
but heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.

Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.

Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes...

"Steal Away"

"Steal Away"


Steal away steal away steal away to Jesus
Steal away steal away home I ain't got long to stay here

I was walkin' in Savannah passed the church decayed and dimmed
When there slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn
And a sympathy awakened and a wonder quickly grew
Till I found myself environed in a little negro pew
Out at front a young couple sat in sorrow and nearly wild
On the altar was a coffin and in the coffin was a child
Rows of sad old negro preacher at a little wooden desk
With a manner grandly offered in the countless grotesque
And he said now don't be weepin' for this pretty bit of clay
For the little boy who lived there why he done up and run away
But he is doin' very finly and he appreaciated your love
But he's sure enough father want him in the large house up above
Now he didn't give you that baby no not by a hundred thousand miles
He just thought you need some sunshine and he lend it to you for awhile
And he let you love and keep till your hearts was bigger grown
And these silver tears you've shed why they're just interest on the lawn
So my poor dejected mourners let your hearts with Jesus rest
And don't go criticize no one that knows the best
He give us many comforts and he has the right to take away
To the Lord be praised in glory now and ever let us pray

My Lord calls me he calls me by the thunder the trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain't got long to stay here
