Ain't Nothin' Shakin' (but The Leaves)

Ain't Nothin' Shakin' (but The Leaves)

Well ever since the day that you left me I been whinin' like a little lost pup
The sun went down when you left town and you ain't a gonna come back up
A walkin' in a wearin' out leather a scuffin' up the hardwood floor
Starin' at the phone since you've been gone and listenin' for the knock on the door
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze
There ain't nothin' happenin' with the birds and the bees
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves
Hurt keeps a lookin' through my window the heartaches are laughin' in the hall
And I've got the news that old man blues is a seepin' through the cracks in the wall
The end is a waitin' round the corner and hope is just about gone
If you only knew how I needed you well then you'd come a running back home
Oh well there ain't nothin' shakin'...
Well there ain't nothin' shakin'...
No there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves

All Fall Down

All Fall Down

(George)
Castles tall
Houses small
Left alone
All fall down.

(Tammy Wynette)
Dreams so clear
Disappear
Without a sound
All fall down.

(George) Lovers meet
(Tammy) Lovers quarrel
(George) Lonely boy
(Tammy) Lonely girl.

(Tammy)
I loved him
And I have found,
Dreams like walls
All fall down.

(Both)
All fall down (All fall down)
All fall down (All fall down)

(George) She don`t want me to call her,
And she told me not to bother coming 'round.

(Both)
All fall down (All fall down)
All fall down (All fall down)

(George)When you take a love for granted.
Like I did you`re bound to see it all fall down.

(George)Castles tall
(Tammy) Houses small
(Both) Left alone, all fall down.

(Tammy and ensemble, fading out)
Dreams so clear
Disappear
Without a sound
All fall down.

All I Want To Do

All I Want To Do

I don't want to be the one that make you lonely
I don't want to be the one that make you cry
I just want to take you in my arms and hold you
And keep you there until the day I die.

I don't want to be the reason you're unhappy
I don't want to be the one that makes you blue
I just want to take you in my heart for always
And love you dear that's all I want to do.

I don't want to be the best man at your weddin'
Unless I can be the one that says I do
For I want to show you just how much I love you
'Cause that's the only thing I want to do.

--- Instrumental ---

I don't never want to be the one to hurts you
I don't want to be the one that does you wrong
I just want to be the one that's always near you
The one that never leaves you all alone.

I don't want to sit with you out in the moonlight
And tell you lies like all the others do
I just want to take you in my heart for always
And love you dear that's all I want to do

I don't want to be the best man at your weddin'
Unless I can be the one that says I do
For I want to show you just how much I love you
'Cause that's the only thing I want to do...

All The Praises

All The Praises

It's so good to hear the word congratulations
It's so good to know at last, respect is mine
But as I stand here in the midst of all the conflict
There's a lovely face that's smiling, on my mind.

All the praises should be given to my woman
She's the one who helped me up when I was down, all the way
All the praises should be given to my woman
She's the one who made me what I am today.

--- Instrumental ---

All the praises should be given to my woman
She's the one who helped me up when I was down. all the way
All the praises should be given to my woman
She's the one who made me what I am today.

She's the one who made me what I am today...

Almost Out Of My Mind

Almost Out Of My Mind

How do you teach a heart not to cry
When it sees that old love walkin' by
How do you make a heart obey commands
'Cause I'm afraid my heart is almost out of hand.

Almost out of hand I do believe
I'm afraid my foolish heart, it don't agree
Any fool I know should understand
But I'm afraid my heart is almost out of hand.

--- Instrumental ---

Almost out of hand I do believe
I'm afraid my foolish heart, it don't agree
I must try to make it understand
But I'm afraid my heart is almost out of hand.

Yes, I'm afraid my heart is almost out of hand...

Almost Persuaded

Almost Persuaded

Last night all alone in a barroom I met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table and as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her for temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside

Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it the reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home

Along Came Jones

Along Came Jones

Well I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel Two
A bad gun slinger called Salty Sam was a chasin' poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill and he said with an evil laugh
If you don't gimme the deed to your ranch I'll saw you all in half
And then he grabbed her (and then) he tied her up (and then)
He turned on the buzz saw (and then and then)
Eh eh and then along came Jones tall thin Jones
Slow walking Jones (deep voice) slow talking Jones along came long lean lanky Jones

Well commercial came on so I got up to get myself a snack
You should have seen what was going on by the time I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine sweet Sue was a havin' fits
That villain said gimme the deed to your ranch or I'll blow you all to bits
And then he grabbed her (and then) he tied her up (and then)
He lit the fuse to the dynamite (and then and then)
Eh eh and then along came Jones...
[ sax ]
Well I got so bugged I turned it off and turned on another show
But there was the same old shoot-em up and the same old rodeo
Salty Sam was a tryin' to stuff Sweet Sue in a burlap sack
He said if you don't give me the deed to your ranch
I'm gonna throw you on the railroad track
And then he grabbed her (and then) he tied her up (and then)
A train started coming (nd then and then) Eh Eh and then along came Jones...

Am I Losing Your Memory Or Mine

Am I Losing Your Memory Or Mine

Did I wake up this mornin' thinkin' of you
Am I losin' your memory or mine?
Do I remember makin' coffee for two
Am I losin' your memory or mine?

I know that you're gone and I'm almost alone
We're just about over it this time
Hon. am I losing your memory or mine?

I've misplaced my favorite picture of you
Am I losing your memory or mine?
Was it accidental or did I really want to
Am I losing your memory or mine?

I don't know myself but memory is late
For they both had a long uphill climb
Oh, am I losing your memory or mine?

Am I comin' or going, am I doin' all right
Am I gainin' or fallin' behind
I'm beginnin' to wonder if I ever loved you
And am I losing your memory or mine?

I'll get over you, oh, but I really don't want to
But I'm losing your memory or mine?...

Am I That Easy To Forget

Am I That Easy To Forget

They say you've found somebody new but that won't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away forget the love I had for you
Yes I could find somebody too but I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret am I that easy to forget
Before you leave be sure you find you want his love much more than mine
Cause I'll just say we've never met if I'm that easy to forget
[ guitar ]
Before you leave be sure...

Among The Few

Among The Few

We don't need no great big house on a hill top
Just a share croppers shack by a railroad track
And a well in the back will do
Though few may find this kind of love
Was built for one another
And we're so lucky we're among the few.

And if we had three wishes wonder what we'd wish for
We'll walk through this world together hand in hand our whole life through
We found peace of mind so many tried so hard to find another
And we're so lucky we're among the few.

--- Instrumental ---

We'll go far though we may not own a car
And we might look for it and right next door
To our neighbors that might own two
We'll walk with those who love like us and though there won't be many
We're so lucky we're among the few.

And if we had three wishes wonder what we'd wish for
We'll walk through this world together hand in hand our whole life through
We found peace of mind so many tried so hard to find another
And we're so lucky we're amoung the few.

And we're so lucky we're amoung the few...
