"Fools Like Me"

"Fools Like Me"


Everybody tells me love is blind maybe so but I refuse to see
Everybody tells me the things you do I don't care cause I'm a fool for you
It doesn't really matter what you are it only matters what you are to me
And if it's I'm not wise enough to see but with love be without fools like me

Maybe lovin' you that's not so smart and maybe bein' you break my heart
I really should've loved you but I'd knew and I keep stop cause I'm a fool for you
I only hope this kind of love is real cause I can't ever change the way I feel
And maybe maybe I'm not wise enough to see but with love be without fools like me

"For The Good Times"

"For The Good Times"


Don't look so sad Lord I know it's over
But honey life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning
Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times

I'll get along (yes I will darlin') you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
Honey there'll be plenty time enough for sadness when you leave me
Just your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft Lord against ol' Jerry's window
And I make believe darlin' you love me just one more time for the good times
(Think about that baby for them old good times just one more time)

"Forever Forgiving"

"Forever Forgiving"


Forever forgiving honey that’s you
You’re so understanding of the wrong I do
I don’t mean to hurt oh but sometimes I do
So please don’t stop loving or forgiving this fool

Forever forgiving darling that’s you
I’m gonna try harder to make it up to you
I could never love no one the way I love you
So please don’t stop loving or forgiving this fool

Forever forgiving darling that’s you
I’m gonna try harder to make it all up to you
Girl I could never love no one the way I love you
So please don’t stop loving honey don’t you stop loving
Baby please don’t you stop loving and forgiving this old fool

"Four Walls"

"Four Walls"


You're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's over-flowing
While I sit and whisper your name

Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Closing in on me

Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
But my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love, not for waiting
But here where you've left me, I'll stay

Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Closing in on me

One night with you is like heaven
And so, while I'm walking the floor
I'll listen for steps in the hallway
And wait for your knock on my door

Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Closing in on me

"Frankie And Johnny"

"Frankie And Johnny"


Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts,
Boy, how they could love!
Swore to be true to each other,
True as the stars above!
'Cause he was her man,
But he done her wrong!

One night Frankie happened to pass by the hotel;
Just casually glanced into a window so high,
And who did she see but her lovin' man
Lovin' up old Nellie Bligh!
She caught her man
Doin' her wrong!

Well, she went round the corner to her favourite pawn shop;
This time she didn't go there for fun!
'Cause when she left, underneath her long red kimono,
She was totin' a forty-four gun!
She was gunnin' for her man
Who was doin' her wrong!

Then back Frankie dashed to that hotel,
Started yankin' the bell!
She said, "Stand back, you madam and floozies,
Or I'll blow each and every one of you straight to hell!
I want my man
Who's done me wrong!".

Johnnie, in panic, mounted the staircase,
Screamin', "Oh Frankie, don't shoot!"
Three times she pulled a trigger on a forty-four gun,
The gun went, "Root-toot-toot!".
She nailed her man
Who'd done her wrong!

So they put her away in a dungeon,
Way up in a dark dingy cell
In the south east corner of a jail,
Where the wind seemed to blow straight from hell!
For killin' her man
Who done her wrong!

But the day Frankie mounted the scaffold,
She was just as calm as any gal could be!
And raising her eyes to heaven she cried,
"Lord, I'm comin' to thee!
I'm sorry I killed my man
Who done me wrong!".

"Fraulein"

"Fraulein"


Far across the blue waters
Lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old river Rhine
Where I loved her and left her
But I can't forget her
'Cause I miss my pretty Fraulein

Fraulein, Fraulein
Look up toward the heavens each night
When the stars seem to shine
By the same stars above you
I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein

When my memories wander
Away over yonder
To the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory
A face comes before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein

Fraulein, Fraulein
Walk down by the river
Pretend that your hand's holding mine
By the same stars above you
I swear that I love you

"Funny How Time Slips Away"
(originally by Willie Nelson)



Well hello there oh my it's been a long long time
How am I doin' (well let me tell you somethin' honey) I guess I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems oh it was only yesterday
Ain't it funny how time slips away yeah
How's your new love oh Lord I hope that he's doing fine
Mhm heard you told him yeah that you was gonna love him untill the end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me
Oh Lord honey it seems like just the other day
Now ain't it funny how time slips away
Well I gotta go now I guess I'll see you hangin' round
I don't know when though never know when I'll be back here in town
But I want you to remember what I tell you
That in time you get out on your knees and pray and pray and pray and pray
And it's surprising how time slips away

"Games People Play"

"Games People Play"


La da da da da da da da la da da da da da da dee
Talkin' bout you and me and the games people play

All the games people play now every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now never saying what they mean
And they while away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine
La da da da da da...

Oh we make one another cry break a heart when we say goodbye
Cross my heart and we hope to die that the other was to blame
Either one will give in so we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinkin' bout things that might have been oh it's a dirty rotten shame
La da da da da da...

People walkin' up to ya singin' glory hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your faith
And further more to hell with hate come on and get on board
La da da da da da...

Look around and tell me what you see what's happening to you and me
Got grant me the serenity to remember who I am
Cause you're givin' up your sanity or your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a damn da da da
La da da da da da...
La da da da da da...

"Georgia On My Mind"

"Georgia On My Mind"


Georgia, hey Georgia
No peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Hey, hey, Georgia

Georgia, ah, Georgia
Woman a song of you
It comes sweet and clear as moonlight
Drifting through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
But still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Hey Georgia, God knows, I love you Georgia
No peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

"Good Golly Miss Molly"

"Good Golly Miss Molly"


Good Golly Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
Good Golly Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call.

From the early, early morning till the early, early night
You can see Miss Molly rocking at the house of blue lights.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call.

Well, now momma, poppa told me: "Son, you better watch your step.
"If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my dad myself.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call.

I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring.
Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen carat golden thing.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call.

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call
