"Nashville Woman"



Nashville woman sing your country songs to me
Nashville woman sing your country songs to me
I ain't had no lovin' since I left you and Tennessee

Nashville woman let me lay down across your bed
I need you woman let me lay down across your bed
Cause girl I've got the blues and I hear freight trains in my head

Downhome lady take that guitar down from off the wall
Yes downhome lady take that guitar down from off the wall
And honey sing me songs of midnight and I might never leave at all

Oh Nashville woman just sing your country songs to me
Yeah Nashville woman sing your country songs to me
Woman I ain't had no lovin' since I left you and Tennessee
Well Nashville woman oh love me Nashville woman

"Nobody"

"Nobody"



When skies seem full of clouds and rain
And I'm all filled with naught but pain
Then who soothes my thumpin' and my bumpin' brain
Nobody

And when winter comes with the snow and the sleet
And here I am all hungry and I got cold feet
Who says why come on in here buddy boy plant yourself we fixin' to eat
Nobody

Now I ain't never done nothin' I ain't done nothin' to nobody far as I know
And I know I ain't never got nothin' from nobody at no time
So uh till I get somethin' from somebody at some time
Then uh I ain't gonna do nothin' to nobody at no time

Now when summer comes all cool and clear
And my friends well they sorta see me edging near
Who says why come on in here buddy boy into the parlor we fixin' to uncap the beer
Nobody

You know I had myself a fine steak been some time ago
I took that little sauce bottle and I shook it on there vigorously
But oh who said you better look out what you're doin' son you holdin' the Tobasco
Uh huh nobody

Now look I ain't ever done nothin' to nobody at no time
And I ain't never got nothin' from nobody at no time
So till I get somebody to lay somethin' on me at some time
Then I ain't gonna do nothin' for nobody at no time

Now when I go out to work on my favorite car
When I raise up that little hood and I crawl way up under there
Who says don't crank it up yet Jerry's got a hold of the spark plug wire
Mhm nobody

Now when I've had a few beers and I'm feelin' about as mean as I can be
And I tell this ol' boy yeah you can have some trouble if you're lookin' for some from me
Then who says Jerry you talkin' to Muhammad Ali
No nobody

Oh I ain't never got nothin' from nobody
And I know I ain't never done nothin' for nobody no time
Uh so I got to tell you children I get some kinda somethin' from somebody at sometime
Then I ain't gonna do nothin' I mean I ain't doin' nothin' for nobody at no time
Because I believe in the old sayin' that the suits say I say
That he who expected nothin' ain't gonna be deceived

"North To Chicago"

"North To Chicago"



I filled my ol' car up with gas
North to Chicago I was goin'
Just drove ten miles and I turned around
I couldn't leave without you knowin'
I had to see you one last time
And be with you once before I go
To talk with you just one more time
And then I'm bound north to Chicago

Still I wish there's something you would say
To make me change my mind and stay
But I guess that it's got to be this way
Then I guess I'm bound north to Chicago

Please don't be angry that I've come
I know you didn't want to see me
Well I know I said I wouldn't call
And I tried my best love please believe me
Well everything I own is in the car
You can see I'm leavin' so you must know
That I've only come to say goodbye
And then I'm bound north to Chicago

Still I wish there's something you would say...

"Not As A Sweetheart (But Just As A Friend)"

"Not As A Sweetheart (But Just As A Friend)"



Please don't hang up on me honey I've just called to say
That I'm leavin' and I won't be back again
And ask you if you'd see me and be with me one more time
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend

Not as a sweetheart for I know your love is gone for me
But just for old times sake leave me a memory do this for me
And please would you take my hand just kiss me one more time
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend

Well thanks darlin' anyway no you can't break your date
And planes can't wait and broken hearts can't mend
So bye bye now you be a sweet girl and honey think of me sometimes
Not as a sweetheart but just as your friend

Not as a sweetheart for I know your love has gone for me
But for the sake of my aching heart say something sweet to me for I used to be
Your one and only and it hurts to see it end
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend

"Oh Shenandoah"

"Oh Shenandoah"



Oh Shenandoah I hear you calling
Look away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I'd love to see you
Away I'm bound away across the wide the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah our hearts are broken

Farewell my love now I must leave you

Away I'm bound away across the wide the wide Missouri

"Oh What A Woman!"

"Oh What A Woman!"



Oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good yeah she does
My my woman she treats me like my woman should yeah she does
Well she's good as a woman can be anything to satisfy me
Well oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good
Watch me now tell you bout my woman

Well she cleans my house she sews my britches
Scratches my back everytime it itches
Cooks my food and has my young'uns
Makes me proud that she's my woman

She knows I like cornbread buttermilk onions and tomatoes
White beans turnip greens Irish potatoes
Sets me a table that's fit for a king
cause she loves just being my queen

Oh what a woman treats me uncommonly good
Pick it son

Yeah listen to me I'm gonna tell you bout my woman

Some fellows don't know when they take a wife
Just what kind of woman they're stuck with for life
Now I've known men who took a spouse
And she wound up wearin' the britches in the house
Heh heh heh you ready for that

Yeah but now my little woman on the other hand
Can't do enough to please her man
Spends her time just bein' my girl
And there's not another like her in the world

Oh what a woman treats me uncommonly good yeah she does
My my woman treats me like my woman should uh huh
Well she's good as a woman can be anything to satisfy me
Well oh what a woman treats me uncommon uncommonly good

"Oklahoma Sunshine"

"Oklahoma Sunshine"



I can almost smell the hick'ry smoke hear the fireside talk of the old homefolks
See the roses on the hillside growing wild
I can almost touch the dogwood trees taste the air and memories
Scenes that I grew up on as a child

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime
Clothes out dryin' on an old clothesline
Fishin' on the lake with a friend of mine
In the Oklahoma sunshine

Well I grew up and I moved away but I can't forget about the good old days
Thinkin' bout the way life used to be
I got married and had some kids now I tell 'em bout the things that Pappy did
Paintin' pictures of a world they'll never see

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime...

Well I ain't sayin' that my life is bad but Lord I wish that I only had
The comforts that they can't build in machines
Like plenty of space and room to grow air to breathe and a country road
That leads to some place peaceful and serene

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime...

"One Less Set Of Footsteps"

"One Less Set Of Footsteps"



We've been a runnin' away from somethin' that we both know
We've long run out of things to say and I think I'd better go
So don't you be gettin' excited when you hear that slammin' door
Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor in the mornin'

And we've both been a hidin' from somethin' that should've never gone this far
But after all it's what we've done that makes us what we are
And you've been a talkin' in silence well if it's silence you adore
Then there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor in the mornin'

Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk on
One less pair of jeans upon your door
And one less voice a talkin'

But tomorrow's a dream away today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay and your golden rule to rust
Well honey if that's the way that you want it well that's the way I want it more
And there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor in the mornin'

Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor...
But tomorrow's a dream away today has turned to dust...

"One Sweet Reason"

"One Sweet Reason"



I have spent my time in goin' never carin' never knowin'
Just what it was I might be goin' to
And I'd planned on leavin' you the same just up and go the way I came
But you may have noticed I'm still here with you

Yes there's one sweet reason
Why you're yet to see me leavin'
Just one thing between here and gone
And it's wrapped up in your smile
And a pair of blue green eyes
And a touch that warms me like the fire's glow
Any number of a hundred things would send me down that road
But there's one sweet reason I don't go

I've run from ties I've cut my strings
I've unlocked doors I've broken chains
Fading like a shadow in the dawn
When other loves have turned to clay
I've turned my back and walked away
And you should be the next to find me gone

Yes there's one sweet reason why you're yet to see me leavin'...

Now I find no need in goin'
From the sweet love I've been knowin'
To the restless ways and days that I once knew
For more and more I've looked to find
When leavin' creeps across my mind
It's lost in all the days I've spent with you

Yes there's one sweet reason why you're yet to see me leavin'...
You're the one sweet reason I don't go

"Papa's Knee"

"Papa's Knee"



Rock-a-bye me old Sunday chair
Sing me a song was a long time back there
I sat on his lap sure felt good to be
Only a child on my papa's knee

Now Papa would sing a little off key
But he'd fill me with feelings of sweet harmony
Now I'd like to hear that old tune again
And rock to and fro in lullaby land

Doo doo doo da loo Papa would moan
Oh it takes me back to my childhood home
Doo doo doo da loo sweet harmony
Only a child on my papa’s knee

Now sometimes alone well I reminisce
Surrender my thoughts about loved ones I miss
I was so young still my memory
Won't let me forget how my papa rocked me

Doo doo doo da loo Papa would moan...
