STEP IT UP AND GO

STEP IT UP AND GO

Nickel is a nickel, dime is dime
Get you a girl, you can have a good time

You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go

Two old maids, sittin' in the sand
Each one wishin' that the other was a man

You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go

Shootin' dice got your money on the floor
Up comes a law and knocks on the door

You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go

She may be old an' ninety years
But she ain't too old for to shift her gears

You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go

Jumped in the river, started to drown
Thought about my woman and I turned around

You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go

I knocked on the door about half past ten
She said listen here baby, you can't come in

You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go
Woh-oo-oh, Woh-oo-oh,
Woh-oo-oh, Woh-oo-oh,
Woh-oo-oh, Woh-oo-oh,

STICK WITH ME BABY

STICK WITH ME BABY

Everybody's been a-talkin'
They said our love wasn't real
That it would soon be over
That's not the way that I feel

But I don't worry, honey
Let them say what they may
Come on and stick, stick with me, with me, baby
We'll find a way, yes, we'll find a way

Everybody's been a-talkin'
Yes, the news travels fast
They said the fire would stop burnin'
That the flame couldn't last

But I don't worry, honey
Let them say what they may
Come on and stick, stick with me, with me, baby
We'll find a way, yes, we'll find a way

Come on and stick with me, baby
Come on and stick with me, baby
Come on and stick with me, baby
Come on and stick with me, baby

STICKS AND STONES

STICKS AND STONES

People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Why won't they let us be
Bricks and stones may break my bones
but talk don't bother me

People talkin' tryin' to break us up
When they know that I love you so
So I don't care what the people may say
I'll never never let you go

I've been abused
(I've been abused)
In my heart
(my heart's been torn)
I've been accused
(I've been accused)
I've been 'buked
(I've been 'buked and I've been stung)

People talkin' tryin' to break us up, yeah
Scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes anything to make me shame

(bridge)

I've been abused
(I've been abused)
In my heart
(my heart's been torn)
I've been accused
(I've been accused)
I've been 'buked
(I've been 'buked and I've been stung)

People talkin' tryin' to break us, yup
And they scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes anything to make me shame

Yes I know
(oh, yes I know)
Yes I know it
(oh, yes I know)
And you know it, too
(oh, yes I know)
Don't you know it, too
(oh, yes I know)
Ohhhhh, don't you know it too

SWEET DREAMS

SWEET DREAMS

Sweet dreams of you, every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life a new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you?

You don't love me and it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you, the whole life through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you, things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget you, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you?

Sweet dreams of you, every night I go through

SWEET MEMORIES

SWEET MEMORIES

My world is like a river as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories
Sweet memories
Sweet memories
Hmmmmmmmm

She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night
Wandering from room to room she's turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
I'm swept away from sadness clinging to her memories
Sweet memories
Sweet memories
Hmmmmmmmm

T FOR TEXAS

Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for
Tennessee)
Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for
Tennessee)
Oh, T for Thelma (T For Thelma)
That gal done made a wreck out of me

If you don't want me mama you sure don't have to call
(T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
If you don't want me mama you sure don't have to call
(T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
I can get more women (Get more women)
Than a passenger train can haul

I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine
I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine
'Cause this Georgia water tastes like turpentine

Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for
Tennessee)
Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for
Tennessee)
Oh, T for Thelma (T For Thelma)
That gal done made a wreck out of me

I'm gonna buy me a pistol just because I'm tall (T for
Texas, T for Tennessee)
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just because I'm tall (T for
Texas, T for Tennessee)
I'm gonna shoot poor Thelma (Shoot poor Thelma)
Just to see her run and jump and fall

I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log
I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log
Than to be in Atlanta, treated like a dirty dog

Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for
Tennessee)
Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for
Tennessee)
Oh, T for Thelma (T For Thelma)
That gal done made a wreck out of me

TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY

TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY

These are the words of a frontier lad
Who lost his love when he turned bad

Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her where I am
Take a message to Mary
But don't say I?m in a jam

You can tell her I had to see the world
Or tell her that my ship set sail
You can say she?d better not wait for me
But don't tell her I?m in jail
Oh, don't tell her I?m in jail

Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her what I?ve done
Please don't mention the stagecoach
And the shot from a careless gun

You can tell her I had to change my plans
And cancel out the wedding day
But please don?t mention my lonely cell
Where I?m gonna pine away
Until my dying day

Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her all you know
My heart's aching for Mary
Lord knows I miss her so

Just tell her I went to Timbuktu
Tell her I?m searching for gold
You can say she?d better find someone new
To cherish and to hold
Oh lord, this cell is cold

Mary, Mary
Oh, lord this cell is cold

TALKING TO THE FLOWERS

TALKING TO THE FLOWERS

When you've made the rounds
And there's no one left around
To take your loving to
When all the words they've said
Go whirling through your head
But that's the soul of you

Run to meadows green, beyond the city scene
And invest your hours, in search of ivory towers
Just talking to the flowers
(la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...)
(Talking to the flowers)
It's a wonderful day today (Talking to the flowers)
Everything's going my way (Talking to the flowers)
They've so much to say
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...)
(Doodlute, doodlute, doodlute-do, doodlute, doodlute, doodlute-do)
(Doodlute, doodlute, doodlute-do, doodlute, doodlute, doodlute-do, oooooo)

When you can trace the pain
By tears that flow like rain
It's much too high a cost
(Doodlute, doodlute, doodlute, doodlute-do)
When you're sick with memories
And all you ever see
Is just a smile that's lost
(Doodlute, doodlute, doodlute, doodlute-do)

Run to meadows green, beyond the city scene
And invest your hours, in search of ivory towers
Just talking to the flowers
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,)
(Talking to the flowers)
It's a wonderful day today (Talking to the flowers)
Everything's going my way (Talking to the flowers)
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...)

TELL LAURA I LOVE HER

TELL LAURA I LOVE HER

Tommy and Laura were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring

He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize, it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I?ve something to do that cannot wait

He drove his car to the racing ground
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace

No-one knows what happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath they heard him say

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

Now in the chapel where Laura prays
For her Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
My love for her will never die
