THE FIRST IN LINE

THE FIRST IN LINE


They say that you have found a love
And maybe it's strong enough
But should you ever change your mind
Let me be the first in line

For I would give my heart to you
With a love pure and true
And it would last till the end of time
So let me be the first in line

If your new love should make you blue
And you want somebody who
Will treat you tender, treat you kind
Let me be the first in line

And if someday he sets you free
I pray that you will consider me
I would give all that is mine
Just let me be the first in line

THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT

THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT


(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she walks by, the men folk get in close
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she winks an eye, and the fresh-sliced turns to toast
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she's got a lot of what they call the most
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it she was born to please
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And the girl can't help it if her figure's meant to squeeze
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Won't you kindly be aware

The girl can't help it (Girl can't help it)
Ahhhh
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she mesmerizes every mother's son
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she smiles and rare steaks become well done
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she makes grandpa feel like twenty-one
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Well the girl can't help it she was born to please
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And I go to her on my bended knees
(Can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Won't you kindly be aware
That I can't help it (The girl can't help it)

The girl can't help it (The girl can't help it)
Oh, the girl can't help it (The girl can't help it)
Oh, the girl can't help it (The girl can't help it)
Oh, the girl can't help it (The girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it (The girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it (The girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it (The girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it (The girl can't help it)

THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN


There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
And God, I know I'm one.
My mother was a tailor.
She sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans.

Now, the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh, Mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the risin' sun.

Well, I've got one foot on the platform.
the other foot on the train.
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain.

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
And God, I know I'm one.

THE PARTY'S OVER

THE PARTY'S OVER


The party's over, it's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up
The piper must be paid

The party's over, the candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend

The party's over, it's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend

It's all over, my friend

THE PRICE OF LOVE

THE PRICE OF LOVE


Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
You drink all you can but you wonA't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd

ThatA's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when youA're to blame

Kiss one girl, you kiss another
You kiss themall but you wonA't recover
YouA're dancing slow, youA're dancing fast
YouA're happy now but that wonA't last

ThatA's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when youA're to blame

ThatA's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when youA're to blame

ThatA's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when youA're to blame

Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
You drink all you can but you wonA't forget her

THE SHEIK OF ARABY

THE SHEIK OF ARABY


"I'm the Sheik of Araby,
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you're asleep
Into your tent I'll creep.
The stars that shine above,
Will light our way to love.
You'll rule this land with me;

THE STORY OF ME

THE STORY OF ME


Rescue me, before my dreams have flown away
Rescue me, take me back with you again
The lonely hours I wait for dawn's caress
I can't forget, the silence of the loneliness
Destiny, I wrote the book about the game
Destiny, now I've learned how to take the pain
Try as I may I can't explain the way I'm feeling now
Try as I may I can't explain
And now I'm walking right back to you
And all along I never really knew
That there was heartbreak ahead
And everyone but I could see
That's the story of me

Don't look back, to think about the things we did
Don't look back, to pretend that's how it might have been
I'm walking homeward thru the shadows of the night again
So now the story can be told,
And now I'm walking right back to you
And all along I never really knew
That there was sorrow to come and I thought there'd be ecstasy
That's the story of me

And now I'm walking right back to you
And all along I never really knew
That it's so easy to see that's how it's meant to be
And that's the story of me
Story of me,

THE WAYWARD WIND

THE WAYWARD WIND


Oh, the wayward wind, is a restless wind
A restless wind, that yearns to wander
And I was born, the next of kin
The next of kin,
To the wayward wind

In a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave, to my wand'ring ways

Oh, the wayward wind, is a restless wind
A restless wind, that yearns to wander
And I was born, the next of kin
The next of kin,
To the wayward wind
To the wayward wind
To the wayward wind

Oh I met a girl in a border town
I vowed we'd never part
Though I tried my best to settle down
She's now alone with a broken heart

THESE SHOES

THESE SHOES


I need to buy me some new shoes
'Cause I've been walkin' off the blues.
My soles are comin' all apart;
They're lookin' just like my old heart.

People think that my luck's down
'Cause I just walk the streets of town.
But I'll be steppin' high real soon,
About the time I'm over you,
And you will be the first to know
'Cause I'm sending you
These worn-out shoes

These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me;
These shoes, they help me walk away.
There's nothing left to say:
I'll say it all to you with these worn-out shoes.

Since I've been out here on my own,
I've never felt so all alone.
I walked for days and thought of you;
I sat for hours and drank a few.

So you'll know all you put me through,
I'm sending you these worn-out shoes

These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me;
These shoes, they help me walk away.
There's nothing left to say:
I'll say it all to you with these worn-out shoes.

I'm sending you a real surprise
I'll bet you won't believe your eyes...

These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me;
These shoes, they help me walk away.

There's nothing left to say:
These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me;
These shoes, they help me walk away.

There's nothing left to say:
These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me...

THIS IS THE LAST SONG I'M EVER GOING TO SING

THIS IS THE LAST SONG I'M EVER GOING TO SING


This is the last song I'm ever going to sing
The last time I'll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn't gain a thing
Oh I'm never gonna be a star

I came to Nashville a long time ago
People said that I could be a star
But all that I remember is loneliness and hunger
Oh sure didn't get so far

This is the last song I'm ever going to sing
The last time I'll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn't gain a thing
Oh I'm never gonna be a star

The big time operators made a fool out of me
It sure don't feel so good to fail
I've slept on every park bench in every park in Nashville
Oh I slept in a Nashville jail

This is the last song I'm ever going to sing
The last time I'll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn't gain a thing
Oh I'm never gonna be a star
Oh I'm never gonna be a star
Oh never gonna be a star
