"Tweedle O'Twill"

"Tweedle O'Twill"



Tweedle o'twill, puffin' on corn silks
Tweedle o'twill, widdlin' wood
Sittin' there wishin' he could go fishin'
Over the hill, tweedle o'twill.

Tweedle o'twill, don't he look drowsy
Tweedle o'twill, noddin' his head
Bet he feels lazy pickin' up daisy
Gettin' a thrill, tweedle o'twill

Tweedle o'twill, bobbin' and weavin'
tweedle o'twill, wadin' in corn
Takin' it easy out where it's breezy
Better be still, tweedle o'twill.

Tweedle o'twill, swattin' a horsefly
Tweedle o'twill, ticklin' his nose
Birds of a feather flockin' together
Gettin' a thrill, tweedle o'twill...

"Two Shadows On Your Window"

"Two Shadows On Your Window"



Two shadows on your window
They make me realize
Darling, that you don't want me
Guess you've been telling me lies.

I know that I have lost you
You don't belong to me
Two shadows on your window
It's plain for this fool to see.

I have no love at all
No peace of mind
I came around to call,
What do I find?

Two shadows on your window
Cuddled in one embrace
Two shadows on your window
One of them is taking my place.

Yes, someone is taking my place...

"Verre Land"

"Verre Land"



Daar's 'n ver, verre land, skone land
waar die sonlig so rein helder skyn.
Dis 'n droomland vir my wat my hart en siel bekoor,
en ek weet ek moet antwoord as ek daardie roepstem hoor:
Vaderland! Dis so ver hiervandaan;
Dis nou tyd, sê vaarwel, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan...

Oor die see wil ek reis na 'n ver paradys
waar die branders bruis en oestydwinde suis -
daardie ver, verre land lok my aan...
hier kan ek nie versuim, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan...

Oor die see wil ek reis na 'n ver paradys
waar die branders bruis en oestydwinde suis -

hier kan ek nie versuim, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan...

"Waiting For A Train"

"Waiting For A Train"


All around the water tank
Waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Sleepin' in the rain.

I walked up to a brakeman
To give him a line of talk
He said if you've got money
I'll see that you don't walk.

I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
Get off, get off, you railroad bum
He slammed the boxcar door.

Well, he put me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and stars up above.

Nobody seems to want me
Or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
Goin' back to Dixie Land.

My pocketbook is empty
My heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Waitin' for a train...

"Waltzing On Top Of The World"

"Waltzing On Top Of The World"



If all of the stars were a million guitars
And the moon was the girl that I loved
If they played for me and to each melody
We could dance in the heavens above.

Waltzing with my darling
In a paradise with my girl
The moment I found you
My heart left the ground
To go waltzing on top of the world.

We'd go right on dancing
And find sweet romancing
Then when we'd linger to love
My darlimng how sweet
You'd look swinging your feet
From a silver lined cloud high above.

Waltzing with my darling
In a paradise with my girl
The moment I found you
My heart left the ground
To go waltzing on top of the world...

"We Could"

"We Could"



If anyone could find the joy
That true love brings a girl and boy
We could, we could, you and I.

If anyone could ever say
That their true love was here to stay
We could, we could, you and I.

When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere.

If anyone could pray each night
And thank the Lord that all is right
We could, we could, you and I.

When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere.

If anyone could pray each night
And thank the Lord that all is right
We could, we could, you and I...

"We Thank Thee"

"We Thank Thee"



We thank Thee each morning for a newborn day
where we may work the fields of new mown hay
We thank Thee for the sunshine
and the air that we breathe
Oh Lord we thank Thee

We thank Thee for the rivers that run all day
we thank Thee for the little birds that sing away
we thank Thee for the trees
and the deep blue sea
Oh Lord we thank Thee

Oh yes we thank Thee Lord
for every flower that blooms
birds that sing, fish that swim
and the light of the moon.

We thank Thee every day
as we kneel and pray
that we were born with eyes
to see these things.

We thank Thee for the fields
where the clovers grow
we thank Thee for the pastures
where the cattle may roam
We thank Thee for Thy love so pure and free
Oh Lord we thank Thee.

Oh yes we thank Thee Lord
for every flower that blooms
birds that sing, fish that swim
and the light of the moon.

We thank Thee for the fields
where the clovers grow
we thank Thee for the pastures
where the cattle may roam
We thank Thee for Thy love so pure and so free
Oh Lord we thank Thee.

"Welcome To My World"

"Welcome To My World"



Welcome to my world.
Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in
Miracles I guess
Still happen now and then
Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind
Knock and the door will open
Seek and you will find
Ask and you will be given
The key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world

"What Were You Doing (Last Night)"

"What Were You Doing (Last Night)"



What were you doin'
When I saw you last night?
Were you just playing hands
Or was he holding you tight?

Did he kiss your sweet lips?
Look in your eyes of blue?
Did he whisper I love you
Just like I used to do?

Did he ask you questions
'Bout yesterday's flame?
What was your answer?
Did you mention my name?

Did he ask you to promise
That you'd always be true?
Did he mention a diamond
Darlin', I wish I knew.

"What Would You Do?"

"What Would You Do?"



You call me a cheater
Well, maybe that's true
But if you could hold heaven
What would you do?

She offered me true love
That I never knew
I saw the doors to heaven
And just walked through.

You'll never believe me
I tried to be true
But with heaven at my fingertips
What else could I do?

Maybe you'd be different
If this happened to you
But with your feet in my shoes
I wonder what you'd do?

If it's wrong to long for lost love
Then I'm wrong as I can be
You say it's wrong and that may be true
But it sure seems right to me.

And you say you'd be different
If this happened to you
But with heaven at your fingertips
What would you do?
