Girl You Sure Know How To Say Goodbye

Girl You Sure Know How To Say Goodbye

(Girl you sure know how to say goodbye)
You kissed me and you said I was a gentleman to you
You said I was a person you could trust
You told me that you love me in a way that couldn't die
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye
You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye
I stood and watched you walk away and I didn't even cry
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye
You gave me that old pep talk as you cried on my sleeve
You said that you'd come running day or night
You said that I could call on you throughout my lonely life
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye
You kissed me in a way...

Give Away Girl

Give Away Girl

Not long ago while dancin'
Our eyes by chance did meet
Though you were with your boyfriend
You swept me off my feet.

So foolishly as I cut in
To hope for new romance
I hardly had you in my arms
When someone sought your glance.

Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyones arms.

--- Instrumental ---

You're everybodys sweetheart
You never stick to one
You'll play the field forever
As long as you have fun.

You'll take almost and bandit
You love varity
Whoever might be handy
You'll fall for stupidly.

Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyones arms.

--- Instrumental ---

You give your kisses freely
You throw your heart away
You never stopped to think
That somday you will have to pay.

But by the time you wake up
You're best days will be gone
The sweetest words that you will hear
Will be, please leave me along.

Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyones arms.

--- Instrumental ---

Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyones arms.

You're just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway, giveaway
Giveaway, giveaway, giveaway, giveaway...

Give Me Just One More Day Lord

Give Me Just One More Day Lord

In thy holy name, won't you give me just another day
There's some thing I need to do before I pass away
I have some friends that's won't live right, but now they're goin' wrong
Give me just one day Lord, then I'll be comin' home.

Brother James from down the road won't pray in church next Sunday
Give me just one day, Lord, give me just one more day
When I tell him what you can do he'll still be prayin' Monday
Give me just one day, Lord, give me just one day.

In thy holy name, won't you give me just another day
There's some thing I need to do before I pass away
I have some friends that's won't live right, but now they're goin' wrong
Give me just one day Lord, then I'll be comin' home.

--- Instrumental ---

You raised money Reverend Brown, preachin' revelations
Give me just one day, Lord, give me just one day
When I tell them what he can do then he'll make all donations
Give me just one day, Lord, give me just one day.

In thy holy name, won't you give me just another day
There's some thing I need to do before I pass away
I have some friends that's won't live right, but now they're goin' wrong
Give me just one day lord, then I'll be comin' home...

Glad To Let Her Go

Glad To Let Her Go

You took her from my side
The day you took her from me
And you though that it would hurt my pride
But there were things you failed to see.
You thought you stole away her love
But I want the world to know
It's the truth she turned her back on me
But I was glad to let her go.
Yes, you thought that you were foolin' me
And even though it wasn't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.
My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go.
Yes, you knew that you were cheating me
And even though it wasn't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.
My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go...

Go Away With Me

Go Away With Me

Go go go away with me mhm
Far from his heart and eyes I can love you and you'll realize
That your life holds so much in store
When you wanted and loved and adored
Go go go away with me and I know you soon will forget
His false love that's haunting your memories
Go and you'll never regret
You're his plaything and nothing more
He will hurt you he's done it before
Then you'll cry out cry out in vain
For his heart to go wondering again
Go go go away with me...
Go go go away with me mhm

Going Life's Way

Going Life's Way

When the journy toilsome grows
Many's the conflict cares and woes
Going lifes way, going life way.

How we long for peace and love
Home in the Father's house above
Going lifes way, going life way.

Sweet the thought that cares will cease
Over the times our joys increase
Going lifes way, going life way.

On the way we'll rather sing
Praises to Christ our Lord and King
Going lifes way, going life way.

Though the dark way rugged might be
It's his own hands guiding we seek

Leading us too that mansion above
Where there is joy, joy, joy, rapture and love.

--- Instrumental ---

Jesus leads all shepards, friends
All of his own He will defend
Going lifes way, going lifes way.

Never will our Lord forsake
Us till in life we shall awake
Ending lifes way, going lifes way.

Though the dark way rugged might be
It's his own hands keeps a-guiding we seek
Leading us too that mansion above
Where there is joy, joy, joy, rapture and love...

Golden Ring

Golden Ring

(T.W.)
In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display

(G.J)
She smiles n' nods her head
As he says, "Honey that's for you,
It's not much, but it's the best
That I can do."

Chorus-both
Golden rings (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Waiting there (waiting there) for someone to take you home
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

(T.W.)
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
(G.J.)
Tears roll down her cheeks
And happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed."

Chorus- both
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Shining ring (shining ring) now at last it's found a home
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

Ooo-ooo

(T.W.)
In a small two room apartment
As they fought their final round
He says, "You won't admit it,
But I know you're leavin' town."

(G.J.)
She says, "One thing's for certain,
I don't love you any more."
And throws down the ring
As she walks out the door

Chorus- both
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Cast aside (cast aside) like the love that's dead and gone
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

(Both)
In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display,
Golden ring.

Gonna Have A Little Talk With You Friend

Gonna Have A Little Talk With You Friend

Come on down to the big boat show,
and bring your whole family.
I'll be there with my rain-coat on;
hanging out with my friend;
'lil Willie.
I guess I know it's time;
Gonna have a little talk with you friend.
I guess I know it's time,
to have a little chat my friend.
Come on over to the carwash,
and don't forget to bring a snack;
like a pop-tart or cupcake or maybe;
a bowl of gravy, or something like that.
I guess I know it's time;
Gonna have a little talk with you friend.
I guess I know it's time,
to chew the fat... my friend.

Good Old Fashioned Cry

Good Old Fashioned Cry

When I feel so lonesome and I think that I
Can't go on with out you there ain't no use to try
Then I tell my heart the things I mean to do
Run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.

When my memory start talkin' back to me
And I almost feel the lips that said goodbye
Then I tell myself the thing for me to do
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.

--- Instrumental ---

Sometimes when I feel I've taken my last step

And I can't make one more move without your help
Then I tell my heart the thing I need to do
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.

When my memory start talkin' back to me
And I almost feel the lips that said goodbye
Then I tell myself the things for me to do
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.

Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry...
