AMANDA RUTH

AMANDA RUTH


Amanda, Amanda Ruth
Amanda, Amanda Ruth

We read the paper and we pick the show,
I'd meet her there but my watch was slow
She came early and I came late
We never met
It was a hell of a date

Amanda, Amanda Ruth
Amanda, Amanda Ruth

The way we met, she was a friend of a friend,
They needed money and I had it to lend
She had five; she wanted ten.
I gave her all my money
So I got none to spend

Amanda, Amanda Ruth
Amanda, Amanda Ruth
Amanda, Amanda Ruth
Amanda, Amanda Ruth
Amanda, Amanda Ruth

She burns her biscuits and her gravy is strange,
Can't fry a chicken in a micro-wave range.
Her salt's tasty, her sugar's sweet
No she can't cook
But she's got something to eat

Amanda, Amanda Ruth
Amanda, Amanda Ruth
Amanda, Amanda Ruth
Amanda, Amanda Ruth

AND I'LL GO

AND I'LL GO


Look at me and tell me
You don't want me around anymore
And I'll go

Tell me that I don't mean
Anything at all to you anymore
And I'll go

If you wanna say our love's not right
I'll turn away from you, run away from you
Out of your life

Cause I love you and I want you to be free
If I'm not the man you want me to be

Look at me and tell me
You don't want me around anymore
And I'll go

Look at me and tell me
You don't want me around you anymore
All you gotta do is let me know
All you gotta do is tell me so
And I'll go, I'll go

ANY SINGLE SOLITARY HEART

ANY SINGLE SOLITARY HEART


You've lost at love before
You never closed that door
This time it hurt you
For the last time
Only the lonely know
The pain of letting go
Before you say "No more"
Take my advice

Just ask any single solitary heart
Why winter night is longer
How a love can fall apart
Why the world keeps getting colder
Or where a teardrop starts
Just ask any single solitary heart

Don't ask the stars above
They've never been in love
They'll just remind you of
The first time
When you had confidence
In love's sweet innocence
Now you have evidence
That love can be unkind

Just ask any single solitary heart
Why winter night is longer
How a love can fall apart
Why the world keeps getting colder
Or where a teardrop starts

Just ask any single solitary heart
Why winter night is longer
How a love can fall apart
Why the world keeps getting colder
Or where a teardrop starts

Just ask any single solitary heart
Why winter night is longer
How a love can fall apart
Why the world keeps getting colder
Or where a teardrop starts......

ARMS OF MARY

ARMS OF MARY


The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and how I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into fell good
Oh, and how I wish was
Lying in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me
All I had to know
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned
All she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary
So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary
Mary, Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me
All I had to know
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned
All she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and how wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary
Lying in the arms of Mary
Lying in the arms of Mary
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lying in the arms
Lying in the arms of Mary
Lying in the arms
Lying in the arms
Yeah, yeah, yeah

ASLEEP

ASLEEP


Asleep
please oh please let me fall asleep
it's like heaven when I sleep
until morning I forget her

I lie awake in my lonely bed
in a room without a light
Trying hard to find a dream
that gets me through the night

But
sleep won't come
it's never there
since you're no longer mine
and sleep is such a precious thing
with your memory on my mind

Asleep
oh please let me fall asleep
it's so peaceful when I sleep
until morning nothing matters

Asleep
if I could only fall asleep
it's like heaven when I sleep
until morning I forget her

I hate to see the sun go down
and face another night
I watch the shadows climb the wall
as they try to catch the light

Asleep
oh please let me fall asleep...


Asleep
if I could only fall asleep
it's like heaven when I sleep
untill morning I forget her

Asleep
oh please let me fall asleep...

AUTUMN LEAVES

AUTUMN LEAVES


The falling leaves
Drift by my window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold

Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter songs

But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter songs

But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
When autumn leaves start to fall

BARBARA ALLEN

BARBARA ALLEN


'Twas in the merry month of May
When flowers were a-bloomin'
Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen

He sent his servant to the town
The town where she did dwell in
Saying, "Master dear has sent me here
It remained for Barbara Allen"

Then slowly, slowly she got up
And slowly she went to him
And all she said when she got there
"Young man, I think you're dying"

"Oh, don't you remember the other day
When we were in the tavern?
You drank your health to the ladies there
And you slighted Barbara Allen"

He turned his face unto the wall
He turned his back upon her
"Adieu, adieu to all my friends
Be kind to Barbara Allen"

She looked to the East, she looked to the West
She saw his corpse a-comin'
"Oh, sit him down for me", she cried
"That I may gaze upon him"

The more she looked the more she grieved
She busted out to cryin'
Sayin', "Pick me up and carry me home
For, I feel like I am dyin'"

They buried Willie in the old churchyard
And Barbara in the new one
From Willie's grave there grew a rose
From Barbara's a green brier

They grew and grew to the old church wall
And could not grow no higher
And there they died in a true love-knot
