"Before I Died"

"Before I Died"

No need to say you're sorry
No need to feel ashamed
If I'm not the one you love
Don't feel you're to blame.

I don't deny it hurts me
And this pain is hard to hide
But at least I lived a little while
Before I died.

I lived long enough to know
The sweet thrill of your lips
I knew happiness
Right down to my finger tips.

You'll always be a part of me
Though you can't be mine
At least I lived a little while
Before I died.

Don't ask me to forget you
'Cause you mean too much to me
I couldn't even if I tried
Too many memories.

My yesterday's were happy days
And each mem'ry's locked inside
At least I lived a little while
Before I died.

I lived long enough to know
The sweet thrill of your lips
I knew happiness
Right down to my finger tips.

You'll always be a part of me
And though you can't be mine
At least I lived a little while
Before I died...

"Before You Came Along"

"Before You Came Along"

Before you came along life was lonely
The real thing never came into my heart
Since you came along,I'm not lonely
I've a feelin' we'll never part

Since Heaven sent me you
I'm so happy
Do I deserve an angel from above
Guess it must be true,still I wonder
How it happened you came along my love

All that matters you are here beside me
It's good to know that you understand
It's grand to have some-one to guide me
Until this old world comes to an end

Since Heaven sent me you,I'm so happy

Do I deserve an angel from above
Guess it must be true,still I wonder
How it happened you came along my love

All that matters,You are here beside me
It's good to know that you understand
It's grand to have some-one to guide me
Until this old world comes to an end

Now you are in my heart,one and only
You've turned the life I live into a song
My heart won't let me say that I'm lonely
There's been a change since you came along

"Beyond A Shadow Of A Doubt"

"Beyond A Shadow Of A Doubt"

You are my guiding star
The one love I can't live without
All these things I know you are
Beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Through rain, through snow or storm
The coldest, darkest hour out
Your love will keep me warm
Beyond the shadow of a doubt.

No gates, no bars, my dear
Will ever serve to keep me out
Call my name and I'll be there
Beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Through rain, through snow or storm
The coldest, darkest hour out
Your love will keep me warm
Beyond the shadow of a doubt...

"Billy Bayou"

"Billy Bayou"

Back about eighteen hundred some
A Louisian couple hade
A redheaded son no name suited him the Jim Jack or Joe
They just called him Billy Bayou.

[Chorus]
Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go your walking on quicksand walk slow.
Billy Billy Bayou what what you say
A pretty girl will get you one of these days.

Bill was big for his size
red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
thirteen years form the day he was born
he fought the battle of the little big horn

[Chorus]

One sad day billy sad cried ho! ho!
I can whip the fathers of Geronmino
He got smart the cheif got mad
this nearly ended our Louisiana lad

[Chorus]

one day in eighteen-sevenyeight
A pretty girl'll walked up to Bill's front
He didn't know whether to stand or run
he wound up marred cause he did eather one

[Chorus]

Pretty girl'll will get you one of these days

"Bimbo"

"Bimbo"

Bimbo, Bimbo, where ya gonna go-e-o
Bimbo, Bimbo, whatcha gonna do-e-o
Bimbo, Bimbo, does your mommy know
That you're goin' down the road to see a little girleo.

Bimbo is a little boy who's got a million friends,
And every time he passes by, they all invite him in.
He'll clap his hands and sing and dance, and talk his baby talk,
With a hole in his pants and his knees a-stickin' out,
he's just big enough to walk.

Bimbo, Bimbo, where ya gonna go-e-o
Bimbo, Bimbo, whatcha gonna do-e-o
Bimbo, Bimbo, does your mommy know
That you're goin' down the road to see a little girleo.

Bimbo's got two big blue eyes that light up like a star,
And the way to light them up is to buy him candy bars.
Crackerjacks and bubblegum will start his day off right,
All the girlies follow him just a-beggin' him for a bite.

Bimbo, Bimbo, candy on your face-e-o,
Bimbo, Bimbo, chewin' on your gum-e-o.
Bimbo, Bimbo, when you gonna grow
Everybody loves you, little baby Bimbo.

You never catch him sittin' still, he's just the rovin' kind,
Altho' he's just a little boy, he's got a grown-up mind.
He's always got a shaggy dog a-pullin' at his clothes,
And everybody calls to him as down the street he goes.

Bimbo, Bimbo, where ya gonna go-e-o
Bimbo, Bimbo, whatcha gonna do-e-o
Bimbo, Bimbo, does your mommy know
That you're goin' down the road to see a little girl-e-o

"Blizzard"

"Blizzard"

There's a blizzard comin' on how I'm wishin' I was home
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
Listen to that norther sigh if we don't get home we'll die
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
It's only seven miles to Mary Anne
You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly suppertime
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
Lord, my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes
But, it's only five more miles to Mary Anne
It's only five more miles to Mary Anne
That wind's howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams
And we'd best be movin' faster if we can
Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm
For it's only three more miles to Mary Anne
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne
Dan get up you ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us
I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
All right Dan perhaps it's best that we stop awhile and rest
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne
It's still a hundred yeards to Mary Anne
Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn
He'd a made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan
Yes, they found him there on the plains his hands frozed to the reins
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne

"Blue Canadian Rockies"

"Blue Canadian Rockies"

In the blue Canadian Rockies
Spring is silent through the trees
And the gold poppies are blooming
Round the banks of Lake Louise.

Across the sea they call me
And on and on a love so true
For the Blue Canadian Rockies
And the one I love to see

Spring is silent through the trees
Round the banks of Lake Louise.

Across the sea they call me
And on and on a love so true
For the Blue Canadian Rockies
And the one I love to see...

"Blue Christmas"

"Blue Christmas"

(You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,)
(But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.)

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me.

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue heartaches start callin'
You'll be doin' all right with you Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue heartaches start callin'
You'll be doin' all right with you Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas...

"Blue Side Of Lonesome"

"Blue Side Of Lonesome"

I'm calling to tell you its over
Yes darling, you're now free to go.
You're saying you're sorry you hurt me
But you hurt me much more than you know.
You're asking me where this call comes from
Oh, I hope you won't end up here.
If your new romance turns out a failure,
Here's where you'll find me my dear.

[Chorus]

I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops
On a bar stool, not doing so well.

The floor has a carpet of sorrows,
Yet no one can weep in the aisle.
And they say someone broke the bar mirror,
With only the ghost of a smile.
The hands on the clock never alter,
For things never change in this place.
There's no present, no past, no future,
We're the ones who have lost in loves race.

[Chorus]

"Blue Skies"

"Blue Skies"

Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long.

I never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly.

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on

Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long.

I never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, Oh, my how they fly

My blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on...
