"Stand By Your Man"

"Stand By Your Man"


Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man.
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times,
Doin' things that you don't understand.

But if you love him you'll forgive him,
Even though he's hard to understand.
And if you love him Oh be proud of him,
'Cause after all he's just a man.

Stand By Your Man,
Give him two arms to cling to,
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely.

Stand By Your Man,
And tell the world you love him.
Giving all the love you can.
Stand By Your Man.

Stand By Your Man,
And show the world you love him.
Keep giving all the love you can;

"Standing Room Only"

"Standing Room Only"


Standing room only
Not even room to kneel and pray
Standing room only
On the Judgement Day.

[Spoken:]
Last night I have an awful dream
That the end of time had come
The trumpet had been sounded
And life on earth has done.

An angel stood, one foot on land
The other foot on sea
And as I tried to kneel and pray
A voice said unto me.

There's standing room only
It's too late now to pray
There's standing room only
This is the Judgement Day.

People filled each church and churchyard
Just as far as I could see
I heard the pityful cry for mercy
And then I realized it was me.

I saw the Saviour did appear
As he split the eastern sky
I saw tears of joy on a Christian's face
And I heard the sinners cry.

And as I tried to touch his hand
With one last people plea
I cried again have mercy
Have mercy Lord, on me.

I saw a tear come to his eye
As he turned my soul away
I didn't know him yesterday
And he knew me not today.

The earth was burning all around
The world went up in smoke
And as the flames came off me
Thank God I awoke.

Then I got out of bed
And I got down on my knees
And you should've heard me pray
For in my dream I witnessed
God's great Judgement Day.

Standing room only
On God's great Judgement Day...

"Sweet Caroline"

"Sweet Caroline"


Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you

Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline

"Sweet Forget Me Not"

"Sweet Forget Me Not"


Fancy brings a thought to me
Of a flower bright and fair
Its grace and beauty both combine
To make the thought more rare
Just like a maiden that I knew
Who shared my happy love
Where we parted and she whispered
You'll forget me not
She's 'fraid with doubt
She's charming like the lily in the pond
Time is passing swiftly by
Afore I am softened
The daisies and primroses
Were blooming 'round the spot
Where we parted when she whispered
You'll forget me not
I admit I really don't know where
But still it's just the same
For love grows in a busy street
As well as in the lane
I gently pressed her tiny hand
One glance at me she shot
She dropped a flower I picked it up
Was a sweet forget me not
She's 'fraid with doubt
She's charming like the lily in the pond
Time is passing swiftly by
Afore I am softened
The daisies and primroses
Were blooming 'round the spot
Where we parted when she whispered
You'll forget me not

[Short instrumental]

At last there came the happy time
When something that I said
It caused her lips to murmur "Yes"
And shortly we were wed
There is a house down in the lane
In a tiny garden spa
There grows a flower I know so well
It's a sweet forget me not
She's 'fraid with doubt
She's charming like the lily in the pond
Time is passing swiftly by
Afore I am softened
The daisies and primroses
Were blooming 'round the spot
Where we parted when she whispered
You'll forget me not
Where we parted when she whispered
You'll for get me not

"Sweet Sixteen"

"Sweet Sixteen"


When first I saw the love light in your eyes
I thought the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we've drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream of you

I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I saw you on the village green
Come to me e'er my dreams of love are o're
I love you as I loved you when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
And once again you were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did on 'Auld Lang Syne'
As to the church we wandered side by side

I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I saw you on the village green
Come to me e'er my dreams of love are o're
I love you as I loved you when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

"Take Good Care Of Her"

"Take Good Care Of Her"


Take good care of her
Take good care of her

I suppose I ought to say congratulations
For you've won the only girl I ever loved
But I hurt too much to face the situation
Take good care of her
Take good care of her

Just to be around her was my greatest pleasure
She was everything my future held in store
So remember when you take my only treasure
Take good care of her
Take good care of her

I must accept it, she loves you more than me
So with my broken heart I'll bow out gracefully
Please don't send me any wedding invitation
For I couldn't bear to see her there with you
If she's happy, it will be my consolation
So take good care of her
Take good care of her

I must accept it, she loves you more than me
So with my broken heart I'll bow out gracefully
Please don't send me any wedding invitation
For I couldn't bear to see her there with you
If she's happy, it will be my consolation
Take good care of her
Take good care of her

I still love her
Take good care of her

"Take Me Home Country Roads"

"Take Me Home Country Roads"


Almost heaven West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah Valley Life is old there older than the
Trees Younger than the mountains growing like a
Weed All my mem'ries gather round her miner's lady
Stranger to blue water Dark and dusty painted on
The sky misty taste of moonshine teardrops in my
Eye Country roads take me home to the place I
Belong Ol' Virginia mountain mama take me home
Country roads

I hear her voice in the morning as she calls me

The radio reminds me of my home far away And
Driving down the road I get a feeling that I
Should have been Home yesterday yesterday Country
Roads take me home... Country roads take me
Home... Take me home country roads take me home
Country roads.

"Talk Back Trembling Lips"

"Talk Back Trembling Lips"


Talk back trembling lips shaky legs don't just stand there
Don't let her know she's gettin' through to you
Talk back trembling lips burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two

Everyday our love's a battle royal lateseems that fighting's all we ever do
But if I let you know how much I love you you'll do things to me you shouldn't do
Talk back trembling lips...

[Fiddle]

Everytime you up and hurt my feelings I pretend it couldn't matter less
I'm just hiding all of my emotions behind the broken heart I guess
Talk back trembling lips...
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in

"Teenager In Love"

"Teenager In Love"


Each time we have a quarrel, it almost breaks my heart
'Cause I am so afraid that we will have to part
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?

One day I feel so happy, next day I feel so sad
I guess I'll learn to take the good with the bad
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?

I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one if you should say we're through.

Well if you want to make me cry, that won't be so hard to do
If you should say goodbye, I'll still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?

I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one if you should say we're through.

Well if you want to make me cry, that won't be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye, I'll still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?

Why must I be a teenager in love?
Why must I be a teenager in love?
Why must I be a teenager in love?

"Tennessee Waltz"

"Tennessee Waltz"


I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him/her to my loved one and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
