"Message To My Mother"

"Message To My Mother"

[Chorus]
Take this message to my mother
It will fill her heart with joy
tell her that I've met my saviour
God has saved her wand'ring boy.

The tears and sorrow I have caused her
How I wish I could repay
But tell her I'll be waiting for her
We'll meet in heaven some glad day. ...

How she cried when I left her
I know it filled her heart with pain
She said, "son, please don't leave me
For we may never meet again."

[Chorus]

Years have passed since that parting
But I know she waits and prays
Soon I'll cross that dark river
Please let her know that I was saved.

[Chorus]

"Mind Your Own Business"

"Mind Your Own Business"

If the wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right
'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight
Why don't you mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
'Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring
Why don't you mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
Well, if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high,
the boys all whistle when she walks by.
why don't you mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
Well, if you mind your own business, you sure won't be minding mine.

If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me.
Just mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
If you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned
I got all that I can do just to mind my own
Why don't you mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time.

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothin' I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands

'Cause my head is startin' to bow
And now I'm Moanin'

If you do her wrong she'll leave this tonw
And you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll moanin'; Moa-oanin' The Blues.

To walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin'; Moa-oanin' The Blues.

"Mother Is Gone"

"Mother Is Gone"

In a little pine grove by the old home
There's someone who's restin' alone
And there on the the tomb, these words I read
The words were Mother is gone.

[CHORUS]
Mother is gone, to her home
Way up in heaven above
And my heart's so sad, for the words I read there
The words said Mother is gone.

As I stood alone, with mem'ries of home
The place I left long, long ago
I returned home, but I waited too long
For the words said, Mother is gone.

My friends did say, before she went away
She called my name o'er and o'er
So trustin' in God's love, I'll meet her above
Over there on that other shore.

[CHORUS]

"Move It On Over"

"Move It On Over"

Came in last night about a half past ten
That woman of mine she wouldn't let me in
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause a big dog's movin in

She changed the lock on my front door
now my key, it don't fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause a fat dog's moving in

This dog house here is mighty small
But it's sure better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dog's moving in

She told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a bad dog's moving in

She warned me once, she warned me twice
But I don't take no one's advice
So scratch it on over (move it on over)
Shake it on over (move it on over)
Move over short dog cause a tall dog's moving in

I'll crawl back to her on my knees
pretty soon i'll be scratching fleas
So slide it on over (move it on over)
Sneak it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog cause a bad dog's moving in

Remember pup, before you start to whine
That side's yours and this side's mine
So shove it on over (move it on over)
Sweep it on over (move it on over)
Move over cold dog cause a hot dog's moving in

"My Heart Would Know"

"My Heart Would Know"

I could say it's over now
That I was glad to see you go
I could hate you for theway I'm feelin'
My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know

It's a sin to make me cry
When you know I love you so
I could tell my heart that I don't miss you
My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know

I could give you all the blame
But I'm sure the truth would show
I could tell this world I've found a new love
My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know

I can't fool my cryin' heart
'Cause it knows I need you so
I could tell my heart I'm glad we parted
My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know

"My Love For You (Has Turned To Hate)"

"My Love For You (Has Turned To Hate)"

I'll ne'er forget that sad, sad day
Darling that you went away
You told me that our love was true
And then you left me 'lone and blue
Yes I received your note today
Saying you'd come back and stay
Don't come back now It is too late
My love for you has turned to hate

Don't come back now on your knees
Trying to take me back please
Cause you can't mend my broken heart
Because it died When we were apart
Yes I received Your note today
Saying you'd Come back and Stay
Don't come back now It is too late
My Love for You Has turned to hate

"My Main Trial Is Yet To Come"

"My Main Trial Is Yet To Come"

Sitting alone in my prison cell
Watching the setting sun
My trial on earth is over now

[Chorus:]
I'm sentenced to die at dawn
But after I die in the electric chair

The judge will give me the 'lectric chair
But that won't worry me

When I face the judge of eternity

Oh mother I'm leavin' you here alone
I've disgraced your name I know
This trial on earth was for my soul

[Chorus]

"My Son Calls Another Man Daddy"

"My Son Calls Another Man Daddy"

Tonight my heart is bowed in sorrow
I can't keep the tears from my eyes
My Son Calls Another Man Daddy
The right to his love, I've been denied.

[CHORUS]
My Son Calls Another Man Daddy
He'll ne'er know my name nor my face
God only knows how it hurts me
For another to be in my place.

Each night I laid there in prison
I pictured a future so bright
For he was the one ray of sunshine
That showed thru the darkest of nights.

[CHORUS]

Today his mother shares a new love
She just couldn't stand my disgrace
My Son Calls Another Man Daddy
And longs for the love he can't replace.

[CHORUS]
