"Right In The Wrong Direction"

"Right In The Wrong Direction"


Well, your office called to say you wouldn't be long.
Since when did your boss get a jukebox of his own?
When I called to see how long you'd be they said you'd been long gone
You're headed right in the wrong direction if you wanna come home.
Well, you're leaving clues that any ole fool can see.
Honey, you're the fool if you think your foolin' me.
If you wanna go just let me know, we can sure enough get it all.
You're headed right in the wrong direction if you wanna come home.

If you want to keep your home you better straighten up your act.
'Cause honey, I can love you, I can even help you pack.
If you turn around, and come home now, I just might not be gone.
You're headed right in the wrong direction honey, if you wanna come home.
Well, your headed right in the wrong direction honey, if you wanna come home...

"Right Now I'd Come Back And Melt In Her Arms"

"Right Now I'd Come Back And Melt In Her Arms"


So many times she has cheated
And settled me down with her charms
It's easy to see how she's done me
But right now I'd come back and melt in her arms.

Doing without her ain't easy, time didn't make me forget
Tonight I'm feeling so lonely, 'cause I'm not over her yet
So many times she's hurt me when she never meant any harm
And I left what I thought was over
But right now I'd come back and melt in her arms.

So many nights I pretended
That she was a doing me wrong
But whatever she's done, oh, it's forgotten
'Cause right now I'd come back and melt in her arms.

Oh yes, right now I'd come back and melt in her arms

"Roll Over Beethoven"
(feat. Johnny Paycheck)



Well I'm a write a little letter gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yes it's a jumpin' little record I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven I gotta hear it again today
You know my temperature's risin' and a jukebox blowin' a fuse
My heart's a beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps a singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
We got the rockin' pneumonia we need a shot of rhythm and blues
We caught the rollin' arthritis sittin' down at a rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven they're rockin' in two by two
Well if you feel you like it go get your lover then reel and rock it roll it over
Then move on up just a trifle further then reel and rock with one another
Roll over Beethoven dig these rhythm and blues

Well early in the mornin' and I'm givin' you my warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle I'm a playin' my fiddle ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy little partner you oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she's got a dime they must won't ever stop
Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Roll over Beethoven...

"Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms"

"Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms"


Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail tain comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

I ain't gonna work on the railroad
(You ain't gonna work at all if you can help it !)
No, I ain't gonna work on the farm
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

My mama was a beauty operator
Sister could sew and could mend
My daddy owned an interest in that old sorghum mill
Just-a watchin' all that money roll in

Roll in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
Roll in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
Roll in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
Roll in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
Roll in my sweet baby's arms (roll in my sweet baby's arms)
I'll lay around this shack...

"Roly Poly"

"Roly Poly"


Roly Poly, eatin' corn n' 'taters,
Hungry ev'ry minute of the day;
Roly Poly, gnawin' on a biscuit,
Long as he can chew it, it's okay.

He can eat an apple pie,
An' never even bat an eye,
He likes everything from soup to hay;
Roly Poly, daddy's little fattie
Bet he's gonna be a man someday.

Roly Poly, scrambled eggs for breakfast,
Bread n' jelly twenty times a day;
Roly Poly, eats a hardy dinner,
It takes lots of strength to run and play.

Pulls up weeds and does the chores,
And he runs both ways to all the stores,
He works up an appetite that way;
Roly Poly, daddy's little fattie,
Bet he's gonna be a man someday...

"Root Beer"

"Root Beer"


Well, I sent my pretty baby to the neighborhood store
My head was vibrating from the night before
I said: "You'd better hurry", as she went out the gate
My system needs a helper and I don't mean a steak
She had a cold six pack when she got back, but it was...Ahhohhh...hic-up...Root Beer

Well, now you can just imagine I was shocked to death
For nearly twenty minutes, couldn't get my breath
My mind began to wonder; Would I ever get well?
If I leave it to my baby, well, you can't never tell
'cause everything went numb when I saw what she'd brung it was...Ahhohhh...hic-up...Root Beer

Home Brew, Lightning, Bay alcohol, even good ol' Mountain Dew
Moonshine, Grapevine, any ol' kind would do

Well, now you could be my doctor, or my little nurse,
but get me something quick before I die, or get worse
I only need a toddy; just a little drink
Yeah, that should be enough to put me back in the pink,
but everything went black when I looked in the sack, it was...Ahhohhh...hic-up...Root Beer

Well, I began to thinking: "I'd be better off dead",
but then I just remembered 'bout my ol' Uncle Ned
He's got a little business squeezing juice out of corn
and I began to praise the day my Uncle was born
'cause you can't get any kicks when you're in this fix; out of...Ahhohhh...hic-up...Root Beer

Home Brew, Lightning, Bay alcohol, even good ol' Mountain Dew
Moonshine, Grapevine, any ol' kind would do

Well, now you could be my doctor, or my little nurse,
but get me something quick before I die, or get worse
I only need a toddy; just a little drink
Yeah, that should be enough to put me back in the pink,
but everything went black when I looked in the sack, it was...Ahhohhh...hic-up...Root Beer

"Rosie Bokay"

"Rosie Bokay"


Rosie's the barmate at Bret Wilson's Tavern
That's where I'll be all night long
She pours me my label and sits at my table
And hums me a honky tonk song.

Rosie don't go to the PTA meetings
And the preacher has not seen her face
But the hypocrites naggin' don't keep me from draggin'
On my darlin' Rosie Bokay.

I need Rosie Bokay
I need somebody to love all my troubles away
I need Rosie Bokay
A hound needs to holler, a bum needs a dollar
And I need Rosie Bokay.

Honky tonk life ain't a life to be proud of
But it's better than bein' alone
Everyone tells me that Rosie ain't pretty
But I've got a mind of my own.

If not for the long nights that I spent with Rosie
My days would be cloudy and grey
If I was the mayor then do me a favor
And bring in more Rosie Bokay.

I need Rosie Bokay
I need somebody to love all my troubles away
I need Rosie Bokay
A hound needs to holler, a bum needs a dollar
And I need Rosie Bokay.

I need Rosie Bokay
I need somebody to love all my troubles away
I need Rosie Bokay
A hound needs to holler, a bum needs a dollar
And I need Rosie Bokay

"Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town"

"Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town"


You've painted up your lips
An rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down
Ruby, don't take your love to town

It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And it's true I'm not the man, Ruby, that I used to be
Ruby, I still need some company

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age,
Ruby I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town

She's leavin' now 'cause I just heard
The slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam
One hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Ruby, don't take your love to town
For God's sake turn around
Don't take your love to town...

"Run 'Em Off"

"Run 'Em Off"


Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house
And Little Red Riding Hood was scared as a mouse
Well, just like her I'm scared through and through
That some two-legged wolf'll run away with you

So run 'em off
No use to talkin all day
Run 'em off
Their tryin' to get you to play
Run 'em off
And make 'em let us be
Now if you don't run 'em off
I'll swear your cheatin' on me

Now there's an iceman, a milkman, and folks out of town
They come to visit they just hang around
They act just as friendly as can be
But I don't think they care a thing about me

So run 'em off
Don't talk too long
Run 'em off
So we can be alone
Run 'em off
And make 'em let us be
Now if you don't run 'em off
I'll swear your cheatin' on me

Now once I ended this song but I can write some more
There's half a dozen wolves a-comin' up to my door
I can tell by lookin' it's plain to see
They're not here, darlin', makin' lies at me

So run 'em off
Don't want 'em around
Run 'em off
You'll be the talk of the town
Run 'em off
And make 'em let us be
Well if you don't run 'em off
I'll swear your cheatin' on me...

"Run Boy"

"Run Boy"


Well, you and your true love have parted
And you left her all alone
Don't tell the kids until it's to late
Just say that the fault was your own.

Run boy as fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you
Tell her you're sorry that you had to part
And don't break her heart in two.

She needs your love now more than ever
For she's all alone and blue
Don't fill her life with sorry and strife
Go Back and start over anew.

Run boy as fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you
Tell her you're sorry you had to part
And don't break her heart in two.

Go back in that church, she'll forgive you
For doubting her love was true
Don't be ashamed to say your to blame
Her arms are still yearning for you.

Run boy as fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you
Tell her you're sorry you had to part
And don't break her heart in two
