"My Baby Left Her Jinglin' John For Foldin' Fred"

"My Baby Left Her Jinglin' John For Foldin' Fred"


Well, my baby left her jinglin' John for foldin' Fred
True love never backed up one word that she said
That proved to me that a black bear is green when it's red
My baby left her jinglin' John for foldin' Fred.

My baby told me, Honey, you're poor but I love you
And you could make me happy just livin' in a little old shack
You seemed real happy with my jinglin' John's pocket money
Till the grapevine told her that foldin' Fred was back.

Well, my baby left her jinglin' John for foldin' Fred
True love never backed up one word that she said
That proved to me that a black bear is green when it's red
My baby left her jinglin' John for folddin' Fred

Now her love was sweeter than a great big watermelon
And love was fifty-fifty right done the middle of the line
I'd a-been better off if I'd never of tasted her lovin'
She took the heart from a melon and left me nothin' but the rhine.

Well, my baby left her jinglin' John for foldin' Fred
True love never backed up one word that she said
That proved to me that a black bear is green when it's red
My baby left her jinglin' John for folddin' Fred.

Well, my baby left her jinglin' John for foldin' Fred

"My Baby's Gone"

"My Baby's Gone"


Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops and hold back the sun
My world has ended, my baby's gone

The milkman whistles softly as he comes up to my door
The mailman brings the letters just like he did before
They seem so busy all day long as though there's nothing wrong
Don't they know the world has ended, my baby's gone

I wake up sometime in the night and realize you're gone
And then I toss upon my bed and wait for day to come
I try to tell my lonely heart it must go on alone
But it cries the world has ended, my baby's gone

"My Cup Runneth Over"

"My Cup Runneth Over"


Dark days ago (dark days ago)
I walked all alone (walked all alone)
I thought for my sins I could never atone
But then I was loved when I heard a voice say
Look and I'll turn all your darkness to day
Then I knelt down to pray (knelt down to pray.)

Now my cup runneth over (cup runneth over)
Life is so sweet (life is so sweet)
All I could hope for to make it complete
Down lifes silvery pathway He's walkin' with me
My cup runneth over, no sorrow I'll see

My future looks bright (future looks bright)
My heart is at ease (heart is at ease)
And every night while down on my knees
I thank the good Lord who smiles from above
And the happiess wraps me around like a glove
For I have His love (I have his love.)

My cup runneth over (cup runneth over)
Life is so sweet (life is so sweet)
All I could hope for to make it complete
Down lifes silvery pathway He's walkin' with me
My cup runneth over, from sin I am free
My Jesus saved me (Jesus saved me)

"My Elusive Dreams"

"My Elusive Dreams"


I followed you to Texas
I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there, so we moved on
I went with you to Alabam'
Things looked good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there, so we moved on

I know you're tired of followin'
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams

You had my child in Memphis
Then I heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there, so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska
To a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there, so we moved on

And now we've left Alaska
Because there was no gold mine
But this time, only two of us moved on
And now all we have is each other
And a little memory to cling to
And still I won't let you go on alone

I know you're tired of followin'
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only a fleeting thing
My elusive dreams

For they're only a fleeting thing, my elusive dreams...

"My Favorite Lies"

"My Favorite Lies"


(Just a few of my favorite lies)

Lately I don't even miss her
Yes it's true, out of sight and out of mind
All my love, yesterday, it has faded away
I'd be lonely if I could find the time
Helped her open the door when she left me
All I said was good luck and goodbye
Now at last I am free like I've wanted to be
These are a few of my favorite lies

I'm surprised I'm still talking about her
For I can stop any time, and I will
But if you feel like asking me questions
Well I have more lies I'm dying to tell
There's no room in my heart now for sadness
I've completely forgot how to cry
If she came back today I would turn her away
These are a few of my favorite lies
Just a few of my fav-or-ite lies...

"My Heart's Bouquet"

"My Heart's Bouquet"


Was just a very young fellow when I found my pretty flower
Growing in a field of love one day
When she told me that she love me then I knew that I must have her
And I picked her as my heart's bouquet
She's my heart's bouquet my heart's bouquet
I picked her from the field of love one day
Well I loved her then and I love her still cross my heart I always will
She's my darling she's my heart's bouquet
We have faced the years together sharing all our joy and sorrow
She has been my pride along the way
Through it all she has advantage never one time has she failed it
Since I picked her as my heart's bouquet
She's my heart's bouquet...
When old ages crept upon us and the years show in our faces
And her golden hair has turned to grey
She'll still be my precious darling and I love her more than ever
Just the same she'll be my heart's bouquet
She's my heart's bouquet...

"My Lord Has Called Me"

"My Lord Has Called Me"


My Lord, has called me today
To go the straight and narrow way
So for my Lord I'll surely live
Yes, my Lord has called today.
God warned us all
To live in sin no more
To place our faith in him
To reach the other shore.
My Lord, has called me today
To go the straight and narrow way
So for my Lord I'll surely live
Yes, my Lord has called today.
God warned us all
To live in sin no more
To place our faith in him
To reach the other shore.
My Lord, has called me today
To go the straight and narrow way
So for my Lord I'll surely live
Yes, my Lord has called today.

"My Loving Wife"

"My Loving Wife"


My brand new car has a dent in the fender
I'm so mad I could shout
But there's no need for me to complain
For she'll do it the very next time out.

Just a while ago my banker told me
That again, we were overdrawn
She writes to many checks but what the heck
My loving wife has never done me wrong.

The food she prepares I know is the best
That's ever been put on a plate
And hour by hour she's by the telephone
That's her favorite gossip place.

The house stays messed up most all of the time
It's a site for friends to come around
I know thing aren't spick and span but on the other hand
My loving wife has never left me down.

And she loves me
That makes everything alright
She's always there waiting for me
When I come home at night.

The clothes she buys cost me way to much
But I know that it's me she dresses for
She may not have perfect ways but I tell her everyday
My loving wife, I love you like you are

"My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You"

"My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You"


I may say that I don't care and hold up head up in the air
Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call
But when the day is through and my heartaches start anew
Well, that's when I miss you most of all.

And my arms keep reaching for you
My eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you.

No matter how much I pretend I wish I had you back again
For nothing else means half as much as you
My world just seemed to die the day you said goodbye
And I can't forget no matter what I do.

And my arms keep reaching for you
My eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you.

And my shoes keep walking back to you...

"My Soul's Been Satisfied"

"My Soul's Been Satisfied"


I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied
Said He would be my comfort
Said He would be my guide
Well, I looked at my hands, my hands looked new
I looked at my feet and they did too
Ever since that wonderful day
My soul's been satisfied

Satisfied, I'm satisfied
Said He would be my comfort
Said He would be my guide
Well, I looked at my hands, my hands looked new
I looked at my feet and they did too
Ever since that wonderful day
My soul's been satisfied

Well the Lord moves in mysterious ways
His wonders to perform
You know He plants His feet on ev'ry step
And then He rides on ev'ry storm
Well He fixed my feet for runnin', friends
Then my eyes were opened up wide
He fixed my tongue so I could say
"Praise God, I'm satisfied."

I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied
Said He would be my comfort
Said He would be my guide
Well, I looked at my hands, my hands looked new
I looked at my feet and they did too
Ever since that wonderful day
My soul's been satisfied

Well it was way down yonder in the valley, friends
I was wanderin' all alone
And it was there I met my Jesus, well
You know He claimed me for His own
And then He put His arms all around me there
And then He drew me up to His side
He placed my feet on solid ground
And now I'm satisfied

I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied
Said He would be my comfort
Said He would be my guide
Well, I looked at my hands, my hands looked new
I looked at my feet and they did too
Ever since that wonderful day
My soul's been satisfied

Oh yes I'm satisfied with Jesus, satisfied with Jesus,
Satisfied with Jesus, satisfied with Jesus
Ever since that wonderful day
My soul's been satisfied
