"My Cricket And Me"

"My Cricket And Me"


I was just thinkin' bout you today and the good times that we've had together
But I can't get through to this find words to say to you darlin' you're so far away
So I'm not cryin' these ain't tears in my eyes
I'm so happy the Killer's dyin' with laughter (think about that)
If you don't believe me I'm over and you see
We're not lonesome my cricket and me

Oh your picture reminds me that I wanted to be free
How hurtin' my God I've drove you away my darlin'
But if you'll just come back home you know I'm for sure you'll see
We're not lonesome my cricket and me
We're not lonesome that old cricket and Jerry Lee

Take that night train to Memphis
Take that night train to Memphis

And when you arrive at the station
I'll be right there to greet you

"No More Hanging On"

"No More Hanging On"


Well if you think it's really over and if that's the way you want it
Loving you the way that I do makes Jerry look foolish honey don't it
If you think there'll be no turning back and that all the good is gone
Just tell me so from now on there'll be no more hanging on
If you never really loved me don't tell me how I killed it
Honey if you couldn't see all the love of Jerry Lee it's just because you didn't feel it
If it's really true you have given up please don't make me no excuses
I promise no more hanging on if you really think that it's useless
There'll be no more hanging on onto dreams of happy ever afters
No more make believe that you ever needed me
No more standing in your way of looking for that special someone
No more wishing for what's never going to be
Oh God I know it won't be easy no it can't be after loving you so long
But if that's the way you want it from now on there's no hanging on
Oh I know it won't be easy God it can't be after loving you so long
But if that's the way you want it from now on there'll no hanging on
Oh God there's no more hanging on

"North To Alaska"
(originally by Johnny Horton)

"North To Alaska"
(originally by Johnny Horton)



Big Sam left Seattle in the year of 1902
With George as his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon River found the Bonanza gold
Beneath that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome
Sam crossed the majestic mountain to valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskys as he mushed on through the snow
Well the northern lights were running wild in the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of 1901
Where the river is winding big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Way up north north to Alaska way up north north to Alaska
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

Well George turned to Sam with this gold in his hand
Said Sam you're a looking at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's burried in this land
For one little band of gold to place on sweet little Jeannie's hand
Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Where the river is winding...

"Oh, Lonesome Me"
(originally by Don Gibson)

"Oh, Lonesome Me"
(originally by Don Gibson)



Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool, I'm staying home and having none
Well, I can't get over how she set me free
Oh, lonesome me

A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
I'm a lovesick fool so blind I just can't see
Oh, lonesome me

I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free
She's flirting with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and buddy don't you know
That I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

There must be some way that I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about my past and find someone new
This lovesick fool and blind just can't see
Oh, lonesome me, yeah

I'm gonna bet she's not like me
That woman, she's out and fancy free
She's flirting with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so, buddy don't you know

I'd welcome that woman right back here in my arms, arms, arms, arms
There must be some way that I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about my past and find someone new
I'm a lovesick fool and blind, just can't see

Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me

"Old Black Joe"

"Old Black Joe"


Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay
Gone are the toils of the cotton fields away
Gone to the fields of a better land I know
I hear those gentle voices calling, "Old Black Joe"

I'm coming, I'm coming
For my head is bending low
I hear those gentle voices calling, "Old Black Joe"

I'm coming home (I'm coming home)
I'm coming home (I'm coming home)
Oh-oh my head is bending low
I hear those gentle voices calling, "Old Black Joe"
Old Black Joe, Old Black Joe, Old Black Joe

Why do I weep when my heart should feel no pain?
Why do I sigh that my friends come not again?
Grieving for forms now departed long ago
I hear their gentle voice calling, "Old Black Joe"

Where are the hearts once so happy and free?
The children so dear that I held upon my knee?
Gone to the shore where my soul has long'd to go
I hear their gentle voice calling, "Old Black Joe"

"Old Glory"

"Old Glory"


There's a star spangled banner waiting somewhere
And it's waiting for you and for me
And that ole star spangled banner waits for glory
And it's waiting for the brave and the brief

(Well I trust in God because I know he cares for me)
Upon the land and upon his rolling sea
And that ole star spangled banner waits for glory
(And God gonna let it wave thru all eternity)

I trust in God because I know he cares for me
(Upon the land and upon his rolling sea)
(There's a old star spangled banner waits so glory)
And God gonna let it wave through out eternity
My God will let it wave through out eternity

"Once More With Feeling"

"Once More With Feeling"


We're just goin' through the motions
Of the parts we've learned to play
Never quite together like before
But somehow darlin' something good
Got lost along the way
And our song ain't nothing
Special anymore

Let's try it one more time
With feeling darlin', take it from the top
Let me feel those tears a fallin' babe
I don't want to miss a single drop
Darlin' make believe your makin'
Me believe each word you say
Try it once more with feeling
And we'll call it a day

Ah you're reachin' out to touch me

Darlin' just the way you used to do
An you're lookin' everywhere but
In my eyes
Well that's an oldy but it's a goody babe
But them words ain't ringin' true
And you don't seem very sure of your life

So try it one more time with feeling
Darlin' take it from the top
This one is the big one baby so give
It everything you got
Darlin' make believe your makin' me
Believe each word you say
Let's try it once more with feeling
And we'll call it a day

"One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)"

"One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)"


One has my name, and the other has my heart
With one I'll remain, that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I am true

One has my love, and the other only me
But what, good is love, to an old heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living, my life just the same
While one has my heart, the other has my name

"Ah,one has my name, the other has my heart
With one I'll remain, ah that's how my old heartaches start
You know ones got brown eyes, and the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I guess I'll have to be true"

One that has my love, and the other only me
But what good is love, to a heart that can't be free
If I could live over, my life I would change
The one who has my heart, also would have my name

"One Minute Past Eternity"

"One Minute Past Eternity"


When will my arms grow cold
When will your kiss grow old
When will I want to be free
Exactly one minute past eternity

When will I make you blue
Cheat and run around on you
Throw away the love you've given me
Exactly one minute past eternity

Eternity is forever
So darling, have no fear
My love for you will last and last
For million, million years

When will I say goodbye
Break your heart and make you cry
Tell you to forget about me
Exactly one minute past eternity

Eternity is forever
So darling, have no fear
My love for you will last and last
For million, million years

When will I say goodbye
Break your heart and make you cry
Tell you to forget about me
Exactly one minute past eternity
Exactly one minute past eternity
