"Blue Without My Baby"

"Blue Without My Baby"

Oh, I'm blue without my baby
And it's hurtin' more each day
I'm blue without my baby
Since she left me and went away.

Well, she took a train to Memphis
And she bought a one-way fare
She took a train to Memphis
That day she told me she didn't care.

I'm gonna search until I find her
Ask her what wrong did I do
Gonna kiss her till I remind her
My love is faithful and true.

Well, I'm blue without my baby
As blue as I can be
And I'll leave no stone uncovered
Till my baby comes back to me.

I'm gonna search until I find her
I'll ask her what wrong did I do
Gonna kiss her till I remind her
My love is faithful and true.

Oh, I'm blue without my baby
I'm blue as I can be
And I'll leave no stone uncovered
Till my baby comes back to me.

Oh, I'm blue without my baby
Won't my baby, come back to me?..

"Blues In My Heart"

"Blues In My Heart"

(Wish I could lose these blues in my heart)

Blues in my heart, oh, how it aches
Nobody knows the sorrow it takes
I should have known right from the start
You'd leave me with these blues in my heart.

(Gone is the love I couldn't hold)
(Feel like a lamb that's strayed from the fold)
What can I do, what can I say?
Blues in my heart have got me this way.

Rain's falling down, down from the sky
Why even the sun's beginning to cry
Everything's wrong since we're apart
Wish I could lose these blues in my heart.
(In my heart.)..

"Born To Be Lucky"

"Born To Be Lucky"

Just born to be lucky
As the gamblin' man must be
Born to be lucky
With a million, that's for me.

Born to be lucky
In a country, white and free
They just call me
Lucky Jim from Tennessee.

Born to be lucky
Lucky, happy and free
Just born to be a lucky
Gamblin' man from Tennessee.

Just born to be lucky
Lucky, happy and free
Just born to be a lucky
Gamblin' man from Tennessee.

Born to be lucky
In silence or in love
Born to be lucky
'Neath the lucky star above.

Born to be lucky
For the girl who fancy's me
'Cause she knows I'm
Lucky Jim from Tennessee.

Born to be lucky
Lucky, happy and free
Just born to be a lucky
Gamblin' man from Tennessee.

Just born to be lucky
Lucky, happy and free
Just born to be a lucky
Gamblin' man from Tennessee...

"Bottle, Take Effect"

"Bottle, Take Effect"

Well, I'm sittin' here, a glass so near
Filled with my one concern
Oh bottle, you've done lead me to
The point of no return.
You took away my happy days
My life's a total wreck
You took the only things I love
So bottle, take effect.

Take effect and take away
These blues that drive me wild
Take effect, make me forget
These troubles for a while
Then just lead me to
Those lights of blue
On the corner of regret
In some bar room
I'll lose my gloom
So bottle, take effect.

You've took away my fortune
While I drank away my pride
Humiliation's my misfortune
And there's no place left to hide
The best place is the gutter
There I won't need respect
'Cause when in Rome
You'll do as the Romans do
Oh bottle, take effect.

Take effect, and take away
All these blues that drive me wild
Please take effect, make me forget
My troubles for a while
Then just lead me to
All those lights of blue
On the corner of regret
In some bar room
I'll lose my gloom
Oh bottle, take effect...

"Breeze (Blow My Baby Back To Me)"

"Breeze (Blow My Baby Back To Me)"

Breeze, you took her from my side
She was my blushing bride
Oh, hear my plea, hear my plea
Hear me begging you upon my knees
Bring her back sweet evening breeze
Bring my baby back to me.

It's an ill wind that blows nobody good
Blows nobody good they say
It's an ill wind that blows nobody good
That blew my gal away.

Breeze you took my gal away
I've had the blues all day
Since early dawn, early dawn
You come a whisperin' through the trees, little breeze
When I woke up this morning
She was gone, she was gone.

Breeze, you took her from my side
She was my blushing bride
Oh, hear my plea, hear my plea
Hear me begging you upon my knees
Bring her back sweet evening breeze
Bring my baby back to me.

Hear me begging you upon my knees
Bring her back sweet evening breeze
Bring my baby back to me...

"C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S"

"C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S"

"C" is for the Christ Child born upon this day;
"H" for herald angels in the night.
"R" means our Redeemer;
"I" means Israel;
"S" is for the star that shone so bright.
"T" is for the three wise men,
They who travelled far.
"M" is for the manger where He lay.
"A" is for all He stands for;
"S" means shepherds came,
And that's why there's a Christmas Day.

"T" is for the three wise men,

And that's why there's a Christmas Day...

"Charmaine"

"Charmaine"

I wonder why you keep me waiting
Charmaine, my Charmaine?
I wonder when bluebirds are mating
Will you come back again?

I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams be the same?
I wonder if you ever think of me too
Charmaine, my Charmaine?

Charmaine, my Charmaine

Will you come back again?

I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams be the same?
I wonder if you ever think of me too
Charmaine, my Charmaine?..

"Could I Be Falling In Love"

"Could I Be Falling In Love"

I feel very strange
There's evidence of
A radical change.
Could I be falling in love?

I see three or four
New moons high above.
Or is it just your
Intoxicating love?

My heart's a flaming fire
The moment you appear (moment you appear)
I have just one desire
To have and hold you near (to hold you near).

I've tried to resist
The strange mystery of
The need for your kiss.
Could I be falling in love?

I have just one desire
To have and hold you near.

I've tried to resist
The strange mystery of
This need for your kiss.
Could I be falling in love?
Could I be falling in love?
Could I be falling in love?..

"Crying Is My Favorite Mood"

"Crying Is My Favorite Mood"

Why do I sit and cry every day
Knowing in my heart it's rude
I know I'm lonely since you've gone away
And crying is my favorite mood.

Why should I stay awake every night
Just living in this solitude
Could it be I just don't care since you've gone away
And crying is my favorite mood.

I can't resist these silly things
I do can't rule my heart anymore
If I can't hold your hand in mine once again
And have those goodnight kisses we shared at your door.

Then you know why I sit and cry every day
Wishing love could be renewed
If I must be tortured by days gone by
Then crying is my favorite mood.

I can't resist these little silly things
I do can't rule my heart anymore
If I can't hold your hand in mine once again
And have those goodnight kisses we shared at your door.

Crying is my favorite mood...

"Danny Boy"

"Danny Boy"

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
Tis you, tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Yes I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Yes I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
