"Baby Ain't That Fine"

"Baby Ain't That Fine"


I'm gonna be your baby
And I'm gonna be your guy
We're gonna cook some lovin'
It's gonna sizzle and fry
Baby, ain't that fine
Baby, ain't that fine?

I'm gonna give you lovin'
And I'll say take your time
We'll be rockin' and swingin'
Higher than a Georgia pine
Baby, ain't that fine
Baby, ain't that fine?

I get a little bitty tingle
Up and down my spine
My head gets dizzy
Every time you say you're mine.

The birds are gonna be singin',
The bells are gonna chime
We're gonna love each other
And the sun is gonna shine
Baby, ain't that fine
Baby, ain't that fine?

I get a little bitty tingle
Up and down my spine
My head gets dizzy
Every time you say you're mine.

The birds are gonna be singin',
The bells are gonna chime
We're gonna love each other
And the sun is gonna shine
Baby, ain't that fine
Baby, ain't that fine?

Baby, ain't that fine.
Baby, ain't that fine?

"Baby, There's Nothing Like You"

"Baby, There's Nothing Like You"


I've crossed the high and mighty creek
That spans the San Farcisco Bay
Saw the sun set in the west
In an non forgetful way
Sailed the white Pacific Ocean
While it was in it's darkest blue
But they still have nothing like you
I've seen the bright lights of broadway
In old New York town
Saw a star light up the night
As it came tumblin' down
And the great Niagra Falls
Well I've seen them too
Ah, but baby, there's nothin' like you
I've seen the winter day turn warm
And the roses start to bud
Saw the risin' of the moon
Through a cloud red as blood
Saw a rainbow of all colors
When the storm and rain was through
Ah, but baby there's nothin' like you
Yes I've been most everywhere
Done everything there is to do
Ah, but baby, there's nothin' like you...

"Battle"

"Battle"


Dawn breaks on the battlefield
While the mornin' mist lays heavy on the ground
And the silenc is like thunder
As the enemy prepares another round.

And her soft satin armour
Lying on the far side of the bed
Wounded and heart broken
She's scared by the killin' words I said.

I have no rules in battle
So I fire the guns of anger once again
Oh, she's such a little thing
And there's no doubt about it I can win.

But with teardrops as her weapons
She easily destroys my battle plans
And in shamefully retreatin', I smile at her
And then she takes command.

Oh, what a sweet surrender
I'm captured by two lips so warm and tender
She completely surrounds me with her lovin' arms again
It's the love that brought the battle to an end.

Now the enemies are lovers once again

"Beacon In The Night"

"Beacon In The Night"


Many souls are driftin' on the troubled sea of sin
The under tow of evil has pulled so many in
Tonight the troubled ways of sorrow fill our hearts with pride
And we're so blind that we can't see the beacon in the night.

The beacon in the night is always shinin'
And darkest clouds can have a silver linin'
Just set your torch for glory then don't turn left or right
Heavens shore is lighted by the beacon in the night.

When the mist of wickedness conceals the beacon's light
And you're driftin' through the fog somewhere out in the night
The one who whispers peace be still and calms the raging sea
He is the beacon in the night, He'll rescue you and me.

The beacon in the night is always shinin'
And storm clouds can have a silver linin'
So set your course for glory and don't turn left or right
Be guided straight to Heaven by the beacon in the night

"Begger To A King"

"Begger To A King"


I had sunk as low as a man could go
The world had turned me down
Then you picked me up
And you kissed me sweet
You changed a beggar into a king.

Yes, you took the rags from off of my back
And you gave me your love to keep me warm
Yes, you picked me up and you kissed me sweet
And changed a beggar into a king.

I had walked the streets
With my head bowed low
The sun for me would never shine
Then you came along into my life
And changed a beggar into a king.
Yes, you took the rags from off of my back
And you placed the crown on my head
Yes, you picked me up and kissed me sweet
You changed a beggar into a king.

You changed a beggar into a king...

"Best Guitar Picker"

"Best Guitar Picker"


I didn't think too much about books and schoolin'
'Cause there was more important things to do
I'd just sit out in the yard and pick my old guitar
Tryin' to do what the big hillbillies do

I would sit there by the hour pickin' wildwood flower
Wore my little fingers to the bone
Well, I said I would never rest 'til I am the very best
The best guitar picker in this whole county

I said someday I know, I'll win my fame
One day all the world will know my name
I worked so very hard with that old guitar
Tryin' to do what the big hillbillies do

I would sit there all alone tryin' to pick out, old sweet home
While everyone was in the yard
Well, I said I would never stop 'til I've reached the very top
The best guitar picker in the whole county

The years have passed I haven't changed my mind
'Cause I still pick the guitar all the time
Because I know someday I'm bound to learn to play
All the things the big hillbillies do

I just sit her in my shop pickin', foggy mountain top
Tellin' everybody ain't that great
'Cause before I go to rest I'm gonna be the very best
The best guitar picker in this whole county

I would sit there by the hour pickin' wildwood flower
Wore my little fingers to the bone
But I said I would never rest til' I am the very best
The best guitar picker in this whole county

"Between My House And Town"

"Between My House And Town"


They finally got the nerve to tell me
Your no longer wanted hangin' around
I knew all along it would-a happened
So there this-a new place darlin', that I found.

And it's just on the outskirts of somewhere
The only traffic is downward bound
It's alright, to try our love 'cause I've been so far out
Perhaps the sun will go down between my house and town.

Please don't feel sorry darlin', 'cause you hurt me
Love just moved away for your, your little man
I could feel this bad, bad day a-comin'
So there's this new place darlin', that I plan.

And it's just on the outskirts of somewhere
The only traffic is downward bound
It's alright to cry out loud 'cause I've been so far out
So that the sun will go down between my house and town.

Yeah, the sun will go down between my house and town

"Born To Lose"

"Born To Lose"


Born to lose I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face an empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose and now I'm losing you...

"Bring On The Clowns"

"Bring On The Clowns"


Come all you merry makers
You wine drinkers and heart breakers
Pass me the bottle one more round
Come all of you love makers
All you cheaters and lie makers
Fill me with happiness and bring on the clowns.

There's a place around the corner and I can't wait to go
I can't stay away from there when I'm feeling low
Running from my problems, cheating on my wife
Acting like a hobo, running out on life.
Laughin loud, telling jokes, drinking to much wine
Gathered 'round the table we're all one of a kind.

Some come all you merry makers
You wine drinkers and heart breakers
Pass me the bottle one more round
Come all of you love makers
All you cheaters and lie makers
Fill me with happiness and bring on the clowns.

I thought that I was happy till I saw you walkin' in
And through the loud and noisy crowd you reach out your hand
I know I shouldn't be here, I really don't belong
I'm proud that you still love me and you wanna take me home.

Goodbye you merry makers
You wine drinkers and heart breakers
I'll be gone when the bottle passes 'round
Goodbye you love makers
All you cheaters and lie makers
You'll never miss me when you bring on the clowns.

'Cause I'll be with my baby when you bring on the clowns
