"Goodbye Joke"

"Goodbye Joke"

No, she not gone forever
She's just playing one of her games
And tonight when I get home
Everything will be the same.

'Cause when I woke up this morning
Yes, I found her goodbye note
It just a game she's plays
It just a goodbye joke.

She's just goin' downtown shopping
She'll bring me back some sporty clothes
'Cause I'm always on her mind
No matter where she plans to go.

If I thought she was gone forever
Lord, I'd find me a hangin' rope
That's why I'm drifting now
It's just a goodbye joke.

Ain't it funny the sense of humor
A woman can have sometimes
Especially that lovely woman of mine.

Hey, bartender won't you bring me a drink
'Cause I still like?
On the words she wrote
In her little goodbye joke...

"Green, Green Grass Of Home"

"Green, Green Grass Of Home"

The old home town
Still looks the same
As I step down from the train
There to meet me
Is my mama and my papa.

Down the road I look
And there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch the
Green, green grass of home.

Yes, they'll all come to see me
Arms a-reachin', smiling sweetly
When again I'll touch the
Green, green grass of home.

The old home place is still standin'
Though the paint is cracked and dry
There's the old oak tree
That I once used to play on.

Down the lane I walk
With my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch the
Green, green grass of home.

Then I awoke
And I look around me
At the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard
And there's a sad old padre,
Where arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
As they lay me 'neath the
Green, green grass of home.

Yes,They'll all come to see me
Arms a-reachin', smilin' sweetly
When again, I'll touch the
Green, green grass of home...

"Half As Much"

"Half As Much"

If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down.

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you.

If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down.

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you...

"Half Of Me Is Gone"

"Half Of Me Is Gone"

I walked a thousand miles last night and never left my room
My tremblin' hands kept waitin' for the phone
I counted every crack that's in the ceilin' and the wall
With out you baby, half of me is gone.

I realize the many times I was unfair
And darlin', hurtin' you I know was wrong
I hope that you'll forgive me for the fool I was
And find it in your heart to come back home.

I walked a thousand miles last night and never left my room
My tremblin' hands kept waitin' for the phone
I counted every crack that's in the ceilin' and the wall
With out you baby, half of me is gone.

Well, nothin' been the same since you walked out that door
My loneliness is more than words can say
Night and day the only thought that's on my mind
Is having you to come back home to stay.

I walked a thousand miles last night and never left my room
My tremblin' hands kept waitin' for the phone
I counted every crack that's in the ceilin' and the wall
With out you baby, half of me is gone

"Half Over You"

"Half Over You"

I've seen your body and I've sailed to this heart
Now I'm somewhere in between
I believe that it's over but sometimes I'm still blue
There's no place so lonely being half over you.

Don't feel much like climbin' 'cause I don't want to fall
Here in the memory I don't feel much at all
I've almost accepted the fact that we're through
There's no place so lonely being half over you.

I wasn't this bad off when first you were gone
'Cause misery kept me company
And then I remember the heights we've been to
There's no place so lonely being half over you.

Don't feel much like climbin' 'cause I don't want to fall
Here in the memory I don't feel much at all
I've almost accepted the fact that we're through
There's no place so lonely being half over you.

No, there's no place so lonely being half over you.

"Hallelujah I Love Her So"

"Hallelujah I Love Her So"

Let me tell 'bout a gal I know,
She's my baby and she lives next door.
Every morning 'fore the sun comes up,
She brings my coffee in my favorite cup.
That's why I know, yes, I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.

When I'm in trouble and I got no friend,
I know she'll go with me down to the end.
Everybody asks me how do I know,
I smile a damn and say she told me so.
That why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.

Now if I call her on the telephone,
Tell her that I'm all alone,
By the time I count from one to four,
I hear her on my door.
In the evening when the sun goes down,
When there ain't nobody hanging 'round,
She just kisses me, and then holds me tight.
And tells me, baby, everything's gonna be alright.
That's why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.
That's why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just, I love her so.
That's why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.

"Have You Seen My Chicken"

"Have You Seen My Chicken"

Well, me and me hen was a-roostin' high last night on the roostin' pole
When I got up this mornin' Lord, my roostin' pole was cold
This hen told me that she was mine last night when the feathers flew
But she must have flew the coup with another cock a doodle doo.

Have you seen my chicken, have you seen my chicken?
Have you seen my chicken, have you seen my hen?
Have you seen my chicken, have you seen my chicken?
Have you seen my chicken, she's gone again?

I like a chicken early in the mornin', I like a chicken late at night
And if I don' get my chicken, gonna be a chicken fight
No, I don'r want no other rooster a-roostin' where I do
I don't want to lose her 'cause she's a fine girl livin' good.

Have you seen my chicken, have you seen my chicken?
Have you seen my chicken, have you seen my hen?
Have you seen my chicken, have you seen my old chick?
Have you seen my little honey, she's gone again

"Heartbreak Hotel"

"Heartbreak Hotel"

Well, since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down at the end of lonely street
It's heartbreak hotel.

Oh well, baby
I've been so lonely, baby
I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely I could die.

Although it's always crowded,
You still can find some room.
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in the gloom.

Oh well, I've been so lonely, baby
I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely I could die.

Well, the bell hops tears keep flowin'
The desk clerks dressed in black.
It's been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.

I've been so lonely baby,
I've been so lonely,
I've been so lonely I could die.

Well now, if your baby leaves you,
You got a tale to tell.
You take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel.

Well, I've been so lonely baby,
I've been so lonely,
I've been so lonely I could die.

"Help The People"

"Help The People"

Won't somebody help the people who ain't lovin'
Help them find an old love like we do
Heaven help the people who ain't lovin'
They're not livin' if they're not lovin' like me and you.

I go to bed each night lookin' forward to another lovely day with you
Knowing that an aging love like ours is staying true
And I'm proud to know that you're the only woman that I need and understand
And tomorrow we'll be lovin' hand in hand.

Won't somebody help the people who ain't lovin'
Help them find an old love like we do
Heaven help the people who ain't lovin'
They're not livin' if they're not lovin' like me and you.

I know that I've been blessed with good thing as much as anyone could be
And our love multiplies itself with each passing day we see
And that only adds to the happiness we look forward each today
And nothing in this world can make it go away.

Won't somebody help the people who ain't lovin'
Help them find an old love like we do
Heaven help the people who ain't lovin'
They're not livin' if they're not lovin' like me and you.

They're not livin' life if they're not lovin' like me and you

"Hey, Good Lookin'"

"Hey, Good Lookin'"

Hey, Hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'?
Hows about cookin' something up with me
Hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe
You could find us a brand new recipe?

I got a hotrod Ford and a two dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
Have sugar pop and the dance is free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.

Say hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'
Hows about cookin' something up with me?

I'm free and I'm ready so we can go steady
Hows about sharing all of your company

And buy me one for five or ten cents
Keep it 'til it's covered with age
'Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page.

Say, hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'
Hows about cookin' something up with me?..
