"Mississippi Mud"

"Mississippi Mud"



When the sun goes down the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout
Hey hey Uncle Dud it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud

What a dance do they do
Lordy how I'm telling you
They don't need no band
They keep time by clapping their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud
When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud

Lordy how they play it
Goodness how they sway it
Uncle Joe, Uncle Jim
How they pound the mire with vigor and vim
Joy the music thrills me
Boy it nearly kills me
What a show when they go
Say they beat up either fast or slow

When the sun goes down the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout
Say hey Uncle Dud it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud

What a dance do they do
Lordy how I'm telling you
They don't need no band
They keep time by clapping their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud
When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud

When the sun goes down the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout
Hey hey Uncle Dud it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud

What a dance do they do
Lordy how I'm telling you
They don't need no band
They keep time by clapping their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud
When the people beat their feet
When the people beat their feet
When the people beat their feet
On the Mississippi mud

"Mistletoe And Holly"

"Mistletoe And Holly"


Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents
Countrysides covered with snow

Oh, by gosh, by jingle
It's time for carols and Kris Kringle
Overeating, merry greetings
From relatives you don't know

Then comes that big night
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing a Yuletide hymn

Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties an' granny's pies
An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you

[Interlude:]
Then comes that big night
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
[Singing a Yuletide hymn]

Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties an' granny's pies
An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you

"Moments Like This"

"Moments Like This"



Moments like this thrill me through and through
Careless moments like this close to you
Nonchalantly we'd dine and we'd dance
Yet my heart seems to melt in your grace

Sweet moments like this with the soft lights aglow
Make me long for your kiss though I know
I'd be just one of all your affairs
But at moments like this, who cares

I'd be just one of all your affairs
But at moments like this, who cares

"Money Burns A Hole In My Pocket"

"Money Burns A Hole In My Pocket"



Money burns a hole in my pocket
How I wish I had millions of dollars and nothing to do
But just buy pretty presents for you

Money burns a hole in my pocket
How I wish I had oil wells in Texas to keep me supplied
With money while I sit by your side

Every day of the week
We would visit the store
All the beautiful things you see
Would soon be yours
Cuz money burns a hole in my pocket
So I'm bringing your perfume and candy and roses of red
And wishing they were diamonds instead

Every day of the week
We kinda visit the store
All the beautiful things you see
Would soon be yours
Money burns a hole in my pocket
So I'm bringing your perfume and candy and roses of red
And wishing they were diamonds instead

"Money Is A Problem"

"Money Is A Problem"



Money is a problem is a problem
A problem on the rich can comprehend
If money is a problem is a problem
I wish I had
A couple of problems to spend

If I just had a little bit of time to spare
I could form a society for the protection of the poor unhappy millionaires

(Money is a problem is a problem)
A Texan begins to learn it when he's two
(Money gets you in a spot just once you start without)
(And you cannot buy another person's heart with it)
So how come them that has it hates to part with it
Money is a problem (Is a problem)
But say the word and I'll gladly trade problems with you

(You would) Like that

If I were a millionaire (If you were a millionaire)
I'd buy me a couple of yachts real quick and keep one as a spare
If I had a lot of loot (If you had a lot of loot)
I'd find me a tailor to whip me up a platinum pin-striped suit
He who steals my purse steals trash the wise men say
But that's 'cause wise men ain't got nothing anyway

(Money is a problem)
(A problem that only wealthy folks pursue)
(We know from where you stand a million bucks is fine)
(But too much gold can burn you just like too much sun)
I don't want to be a millionaire
I just want to live like one

Money is a problem is a problem
And any millionaire will tell you it's true
Boo hoo
And any millionaire will tell you it's true

"Muskrat Ramble"

"Muskrat Ramble"



Look at them shuffling shuffling down
Rambling and scrambling heading to town
Hustling and bustling buzzing around
Happily waiting at the station

Look at the train the number seven-o-nine
Huffing and puffing arriving on time
Who do you think's about to arrive
The band they call the Dixieland Five

They're gonna play that Muskrat Ramble tune
The way you never ever heard it played
Get ready for the big parade
All together now one and two come on and join the happy throng
Feel the beat of that rambling scrambling muskrat song
Come on and ramble along

Look at them shuffling shuffling down
Well look at the band parading all over town
Look at the happiness going around
Everybody's up and celebrating

Look at the drummer entertaining the gang
Clinging and clanging with a bing and a bang
Changing the town from dead to alive
The band they call the Dixieland Five

You're gonna hear them play that Dixieland
You better get your reservation plan
In person on a one night stand
All together now come on folks come on a join that happy throng
Feel the beat of that shuffling scuffling muskrat song
Come on and ramble along

"My First Country Song"

"My First Country Song"



I think that I just wrote my first country song
I've had this lonesome hurtin' feeling all night long
I didn't know I love her and now she's gone
I think that I just wrote my first country song

I always like to hear those country singers sing
And the way they play those guitars boy they sure do make 'em ring
But when they sing the words I can never sing along
I didn't believe things happen that way
I thought our love was here to stay
Till yesterday she walked away and now they're hittin' home

I think that I just wrote my first country song...

You wrote some words about the good times that you had
And then some lines about losing you mind or missing her so bad
And you did leave out a thing about the way you done her wrong
I sang my song to the saddest note that anybody ever wrote
I think that you just wrote your first country song

I think that I just wrote my first country song...

"My Guiding Star"

"My Guiding Star"



Where are you my guiding star
Did you just vaish from sight
A comet passing in flight
How could you go when you must know
How precious and how dear to me you are
I need you my guiding star
Without you shining for me
I have no reason to be
So through the night love
I'll search for your light
Where are you where are you
My guiding star

"My Heart Cries For You"

"My Heart Cries For You"



My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
And my arms long for you
Please come back to me

If you're in Arizona I'll follow you
If you're in Minnesota, I'll be there too
You'll have a million chances to start anew
Because my love is endless for you

My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
My arms long for you
Please come back to me

The bloom has left the roses since you left me
The birds have left my window since you left me
I'm lonely as a sailboat that's lost at sea
I'm lonely as a human can be

My heart cries for you, please come back to me
An unimportant quarrel is what we had
We have to learn to live with the good and the bad
Together we were happy, apart we're sad
This loneliness is driving me mad

My heart cries for you, dies for you
My arms long for you
Please come back to me
(Come back to me)

"My Heart Has Found A Home Now"

"My Heart Has Found A Home Now"



My heart has found a home now
My lips know where to rest
My heart has found a home now
A home that suits it best

My eyes know who to see now
One side my whole life through
My eyes know what to see now
For they see only you

They say home is where the heart is
Where the heart is love endures
And the very nicest part is
My heart's at home with yours

I know I'll never roam now
I'm glad to tow the line
My heart has found a home now
And what it so divine
Your heart's at home with mine

My heart has found a home now
And what it so divine
Your heart's at home with mine
