PROBLEMS

PROBLEMS


Problems, problems, problems all day long
Will my problems work out right or wrong?
My baby don?t like anything I do
My teacher seems to feel the same way too

Worries, worries pile up on my head
Woe is me, I should have stayed in bed
Can?t get the car, my marks ain't been so good
My love life just ain't swingin? like it should

Problems, problems, problems
They?re all on account-a my lovin? you like I do
Problems, problems, problems
They won?t be solved until I?m sure of you
You can solve my problems with a love that?s true

Problems, problems, problems all day long

PUT MY LITTLE SHOES AWAY

PUT MY LITTLE SHOES AWAY


Mother dear come bathe my forehead
For I'm growing very weak
Mother let one drop of water
Fall upon my burning cheek

I'm going away to leave you mother darling
And remember what I say
Do this won't you please dear mother
Put my little shoes away

Santa Claus he brought them to me
With a lot of other things
I believe he brought an Angel
With a pair of golden wings

Tell my loving little playmates
That I never more will play
Give them all my toys but mother
Put my little shoes away

I'm going away to leave you mother darling
And remember what I say
Do this won't you please dear mother

RADIO AND TV

RADIO AND TV


Radio and TV
Do a lot for me
Lots of times I date my honey
When I'm runnin' short of foldin' money
And the radio and TV are free

At the outdoor movie,
Everything is groovy
But at times I like it better
Just to bring my baby home and sit her
At the radio and TV with me

It's nice to sit and say things that lovers have to say
While the good guys chase the bad guys and the top ten records play

Take away my car keys,
Take away my water-skis
Take away my foldin' money, take it all
But just don't take my honey
Or my radio and TV from me

It's nice to sit and say things that lovers have to say
While the good guys chase the bad guys and the top ten records play

Take away my car keys
Take away my water-skis
Take away my foldin' money, take it all
But just don't take my honey
Or my radio and TV from me

RELEASE ME

RELEASE ME


Please release me, let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin
Release me and let me love again

I have found a new love, dear
And I'll always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me, please darling, let me go

Please release me can't you see
You'd be a fool to cling to me
To live a life to bring us pain
So release and let me love again

Please release me, let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin
Release me and let me love again

RIDIN' HIGH

RIDIN' HIGH


Baby I was nothin'
Just a music man
Didn't even know what I was trying to say
Life can be so funky
For the crazy music man
Got no peaceful state of mind where he can stay

Then I fell into your arms girl
I'm ridin' high
I'm ridin' high
I'm ridin' high â€' I do believe

Nights can be so lonely
When you're talking with your mind
No-one there to hide you from the bitter truth
Late at night I'd be writin'
Listening to my sorry head
Laying wrecked across the bed and crying “ What's the use?”

Then you came into my world girl
I'm ridin' high
I'm ridin' high
I'm ridin' high â€' I do believe

Every dawn was a demon
Slammin' down upon my bed
Raisin' up his firey head to eat another day
But every day's a song now
To the ears of music man
‘Cause he finally got a plan and got a place stay

Sailing on the wings of your love
I'm ridin' high
I'm ridin' high
I'm ridin' high â€' I do believe

I'm ridin' high
I'm ridin' high
I'm ridin' high â€' I do believe
I'm ridin' high â€' I do believe
I'm ridin' high â€' I do believe
I'm ridin' high â€' I do believe
I'm ridin' high â€' I do believe

RIP IT UP

RIP IT UP


Saturday night, I just got paid
A fool about my money, don't try to save
My heart says a-go-go, have a time
‘Cause it's Saturday night,
An' baby I'm a-feelin' fine

I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up
Have a ball tonight

Got me a date, I won't be late
I pick her up in my eighty-eight
Shack on down by the union hall
When the joint starts jumpin'
I'll have a ball

I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up
Have a ball tonight

Saturday night, I just got paid
A fool about my money, don't try to save
My heart says a-go-go, have a time
‘Cause it's Saturday night,
An' baby I'm a-feelin' fine

I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up
Have a ball tonight

Got me a date, I won't be late
I pick her up in my eighty-eight
Shack on down by the union hall
When the joint starts jumpin'
I'll have a ball

I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up

ROCKING ALONE (IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR)

ROCKING ALONE (IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR)


Sitting alone in an old rocking chair
I saw an old mother with silvery hair
She seemed so neglected by those who should care
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

Her hands were all callused and wrinkled and old
A life of hard work was the story they told
And I thought of angels as I saw her there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

Bless her old heart, do you think she'd complain
Though life has been bitter she'd live it again
And carry that cross that is more than her share
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart
Just some small remembrance on somebody's part
A letter would brighten her empty life there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

I know some youngsters in an orphans' home
Who'd think they owned heaven if she was their own
They'd never be willing to let her sit there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

I look at her and I think "What a shame"
The ones who forgot her she loves just the same
And I think of angels as I see her there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

ROCKY TOP

ROCKY TOP


Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Aint' no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, other half 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 ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee,
Rocky Top Tennessee

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

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

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 ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee,
Rocky Top Tennessee

I've had years of cramped-up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again

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

ROVING GAMBLER

ROVING GAMBLER


I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down.
Lay my money down, lay my money down

I had not been in Washington, many more weeks than three
‘Til I fell in love with a pretty little girl, she fell in love with me.
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me

She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her momma's ear, “I love that gambling man.
Love that gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man”

“Daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so?
To leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go?
With a gambler go, with a gambler go?”

I've gambled down in Washington; I've gambled down in Spain
I'm goin' down in Georgia to gamble my last game
Gamble my last game, gamble my last game

“Mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well
But the love I have for the gambling man, no human tongue can tell.
No human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell

I hear that train a-coming, coming 'round the curve
A-whistling and a-blowing straining every nerve
Strainin' every nerve, strainin' every nerve

“Mother, oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can
If you ever see me comin' back, I'll be with the gambling man
Be with the gambling man.
Be with the gambling man”

I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lay my money down

SEA OF HEARTBREAK

SEA OF HEARTBREAK


The lights in the harbour, don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship, adrift on the sea

The sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine, how I wish
You were mine, again my dear
I'm on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

How did I lose you?
Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me?
Always to sail

This sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine, how I wish
You were mine, again my dear
I'm on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

Oh, what I'd give to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
Come to my rescue
Come here to me
Take me and keep me
Away from the sea

The sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine, how I wish
You were mine, again my dear
I'm on the sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
Sea of heartbreak
Sea oh heartbreak
