"Never Again (Will I Knock On Your Door)"

"Never Again (Will I Knock On Your Door)"


(Oh you) know that I've come back and we've tried it o'er
(But) each time my dear it was worse than before
Now my heart is broke it's sad and it's sore
(So) never again will I knock on your door

(Oh you) know that I love you no other will do
Please tell me darlin' why can't you be true
But now you are gone it's over and so
Never again will I knock on your door

Someday you'll be so lonely and blue
Then you will know just how much I love you
But now you are gone it's over and so
Never again will I knock on your door

Many a night I've cried over you
Hoping and prayin' some day you'd be true
But now you are gone it's over I know
(So) never again will I knock on your door

[Repeat verse 2]

"No One Will Ever Know"

"No One Will Ever Know"


No one will ever know my heart is breaking
Although a million teardrops start to flow
I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling
I'll miss you but no one will ever know

I'll tell them we grew tired of each other
And realized our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me

No one will ever know how much I'm pineing
Each time the past comes back to haunt me so
No one will ever see the tears I'm hiding
You've hurt me but no one will ever know

I'll tell then I found true love with another
That I was glad the day you set me free
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me

"No, Not Now"

"No, Not Now"


TOOK MY GAL TO THE PICTURE SHOW, JUST THE OTHER DAY,
BUT WHEN I TRIED TO HOLD HER HAND,
HERE'S WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY.

[CHORUS]
NO NOT NOW, (no not now), NO NOT NOW, (no not now),
NO NOT NOW, BUT MAYBE NEXT WEEK SOME - HOW.

WALKED MY GAL HOME TO THE DOOR, AND ASKED HER FOR A KISS,
BUT SHE QUICKLY TURNED AWAY, AND THEN SHE TOLD ME THIS.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I ASKED MY GAL TO MARRY ME, RECKON WHAT SHE SAID,
SHE SAID I WOULDN'T MARRY YOU, IF ALL THE REST WERE DEAD.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

BUT SHE WENT AND CHANGED HER MIND, HOW I REGRET THAT DAY,
'CAUSE EVERY SINCE I MARRIED HER, HERE'S ALL THAT SHE CAN SAY.
[Spoken] (YOU GUESSED IT!)

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I STAYED OUT TOO LATE LAST NIGHT, ON A LITTLE SPREE,
AND WHEN I ASKED HER TO LET ME IN, HERE'S ALL SHE SAID TO ME.
[Spoken] (HERE'S WHAT SHE SAID)

[REPEAT CHORUS]

"Nobody's Lonesome For Me"

"Nobody's Lonesome For Me"


Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's thinkin' 'bout somebody else
But nobody thinks about me
When the time rolls around for me to lay down and die
I bet I'll have to go and hire me someone to cry
Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
nobody is lonesome for me.

Ev'rybody's longin' for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's dreamin' about somebody else
But nobody dreams about me
All I need is a bride who want's a big-hearted groom
I wouldn't care if she come ridin' in on a broom
Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.

Ev'rybody's pinin' for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's crazy 'bout somebody else
But nobody's crazy 'bout me
Oh, I shined up my shoes and then I slicked down my hair
Put on my Sunday suit, but I ain't goin' nowhere
Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me.

Ev'rybody's yearnin' for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's fallin' for somebody else
But nobody's fallin' for me
Now I ain't had a kiss since I fell out of my crib
It looks to me like I been cheated out of my rib
Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.

"On The Banks Of The Old Pontchartrain"

"On The Banks Of The Old Pontchartrain"


I traveled from Texas to old Louisanne
Through valleys, o'er mountains and plains
Both footsore and weary I rested awhile
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

The fairest young maiden that I ever saw
Passed by as it started to rain
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

We hid from the shower an hour or so
She asked me how long I'd remain
I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

I just couldn't tell her that I ran away
From jail on a West Texas plain
I prayed in my heart I would never be found
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

Then one day a man put his hand on my arm
And said I must go west again
I left her alone without saying goodbye
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell
I know that she's waiting in vain
I'm hoping and praying someday to return
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

"Pan American"

"Pan American"


I have heard your stories about your fast trains
But now I'll tell you about one all the southern folks have seen
She's the beauty of the southlands listen to that whistle scream
It's that Pan American on her way to New Or-leans.

She leaves Cincinnati headin' down that Dixie line
When she passes that Nashville tower you can hear that whistle whine
Stick your head out the window and feel that southern breeze
your on that Pan American on her way to New Or-leans.

Ohio and Kentucky Tennessee and Alabam, the delta state of
Mississippi, she's Louisina Bound, of the trains in the southland
this one is the queen, all the way from Cincinnati down to New Orleans.

If your ever in the south lands and want to see the scenes
Just get your self a ticket on that Pan American Queen
Louiville Nashville Montgomery the cap'tal of Ala-bam
You pass right through then all when your New Orleans bound.

She leaves Cincinnati headin' down that Dixie line
When she passes that Nashville tower you can hear that whistle whine
Stick your head out the window and feel that southern breeze
your on that Pan American on her way to New Or-leans.

"Pictures From Life's Other Side"

"Pictures From Life's Other Side"


In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
Hang the scenes that're painted from life
There's pictures of love and of passion
And there's pictures of keys and of strife

There hung pictures of youth and of beauty
Of old age and a blushing young bride
They all hung on the wall but the saddest of all
Are the pictures from life's other side

Just a picture from life's other side
Someone has fell by the way
A life has gone out with the tide
That might have been happy some day

There's a poor old mother at home
She's watching and waiting alone
Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear
Just a picture from life's other side

The first scene is that of a gambler
Who had lost all of his money at play
And he drowses dead mother's ring from his finger
Which she wore long ago on her wedding day

It's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it
Then bows his head that his shame he might hide
But when they lifted his head they found he was dead
That's just a picture from life's other side

Now the last scene is that by the river
Of a heartbroken mother and baby
As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
On an outcast, soon no one will save

And yet she was once a true woman
She was somebody's darling and pride
God help her she leaps, oh there's no one to weep
It's just a picture from life's other side

"Please Don't Let Me Love You"

"Please Don't Let Me Love You"


Oh! Plea-ease - don't let me love you
Just because I'm feelin' blue
And Plea-ease - don't let me kiss you
'Cause I know you'll be untrue.

Because you're sweet dear, I want to love you
Plea-ease - stay away from my heart
And Plea-ease - don't let me love you
'Cause I know you'll break my heart.

Oh! Plea-ease - don't call me darlin'
When I know you don't love me
And Plea-ease - don't whisper sweetheart
For I know it just can't be

When I'm lonely, I want you only
Where is the dream I once knew
Oh! Plea-ease - don't let me love you
'Cause I know you'll be untrue.

"Please Make Up Your Mind"

"Please Make Up Your Mind"


When I agree with you baby it makes you mad and when I don't it makes you sad
When I argue back you pack and leave and when I don't you pout in grieve
There just ain't nobody knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind what you want me to do
You say get out and I'd better stay gone
Then you have a big policeman drag me back home
You holler good and loud put him in the calaboose
Then you cry and ask the judge won't you please turn him loose
The good Lord only knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind what you want me to do
My life with you baby has been one hard knock
Lord my head looks like an old chop block
And I'll tell you right now honey that ain't all
You done kicked me till I feel like a used football
There just ain't nobody knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind what you want me to do
You knock me down and then you pick me up
Honey do you have to love so doggone rough
I wish to my soul you'd slow down the pace
Cause I tell you right now the hide's gettin' sca'ce
There just ain't nobody knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind what you want me to do
Why when I married you, you were such a meek little thing
But honey among tigers you'd be queen
If a poor little rabbit had you on his side
Every hound in the country would crawl off and hide
There just ain't nobody knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind
What in the confounded cat hair you want me to do

"Ramblin' Man"

"Ramblin' Man"


I can settle down and be doin' just fine
Til' I hear an old train rollin' down the line
Then I hurry straight home and pack
And if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow my stack

I love you baby, but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me, He made a Ramblin' Man

Some folks might sa-ay that I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle down if I could
But when that open ro-oad starts to callin' me
There's somethin' o'er the hill that I gotta see

Sometimes it's har-rd but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me, He made a Ra-amblin' Man

I love to see the towns a-passin' by
And to ride these rails, 'neath God's blue sky
Let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea
'Cause that's the life I believe, He meant for me

And when I'm go-one and at my grave you stand
Just say God called home your Ra-amblin' Man
