"It's Time To Pay The Fiddler"

"It's Time To Pay The Fiddler"


Well it's time to pay the fiddler and it's sad to know we've danced it all away
But the one night's disappearing leaving nothin' but the cold hard light of day
And it's time to start erasin' all the rainbows we've been chasing in our minds
We know there's no way of making other ties on us unravel and unwind
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler and today's the day the thirsty someones do
For the rest of all my days I wonder why the maker mismatched me and you
But there's so much to consider like my man and little baby
Will need and want my love just like you do
Now it's time to pay the fiddler but before we pay the fiddler
Let's say to him please play one last final tune
[ fiddle ]
Well it's time to pay the fiddler now there's naked sorrow drippin' from my eyes
On'ry stranded and unshamed we've loved each other now we've got to leave it lie
But I can feel my hands a trembling and I search to find a handle on the door
So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow across our heart strings just once more
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler...

"Jackson Ain't A Very Big Town"

"Jackson Ain't A Very Big Town"


Tonight at night we get married my friends all say it's a shame and disgrace
And he's loved every woman in Jackson oh but Jackson ain't a very big place
Tomorrow we'll go walkin' I count each one with a tear on her face
Then I'll know just how many think I'm lucky cause Jackson ain't a very big place
Jackson is a mighty small town where the gossips and the rumors go round
But the gossips are the ones he turned down and Jackson ain't a very big town
[ steel ]
Jackson is a mighty small town...

"Jealous Heart"

"Jealous Heart"


Jealous heart oh jealous heart stop beating can't you see the damage you have done
You have driven him away forever jealous heart now I'm the lonely one
I was part of everything he planned for and I know he loved me from the start
Now he hates the sight of all I stand for all because of you oh jealous heart
[ piano - organ ]
Jealous heart why did I let you rule me when I knew the end would bring me pain
Now he's gone he's gone and found another oh I'll never see my love again
Through the years his memory will haunt me even though we're many miles apart
It's so hard to know he'll never want me cause he heard your beating jealous heart

"Jimmy On My Mind"

"Jimmy On My Mind"



Now I'm lying here with Jimmy on my mind
And next to me my soon to be the one I left behind
And Lord it's killin' me to seek him cryin'
You know I'm lying here beside him with Jimmy on my mind

Yes I know that I once loved him and I place no one up above him
And I never thought I'd ever set him free
But it just wasn't in my plans the way Jimmy squeezed my hand
The first time that he held me close as he danced with me
He said I've loved you for a long time but you're married to a friend of mine
And I try hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know
Now I'm lying here with Jimmy...

"Johnny One Time"

"Johnny One Time"



So he told you you're the dream that he's been searching for
And he told you that he'd never met anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you your lips taste just like sherry wine
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time
So he told you that he'd never lead your heart astray
And he told you that he'd love you forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you that he's the shy and bashful kind
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time
Did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're savin'
Will disappear in shame and flames like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time
Did he tell you that your heart...
Did he tell you that your heart...

"Just A Closer Walk With Thee"

"Just A Closer Walk With Thee"



I am weak but Thou art strong Jesus keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long as I walk let me walk close to Thee
Just a closer walk with Thee grant it Jesus is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee let it be dear Lord let it be

When my feeble life is o'er time for me shall be no more
Guide me gently safely o'er to Thy kingdom shores to Thy shores
Just a closer walk...

"Just A Little Talk With Jesus"

"Just A Little Talk With Jesus"


I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
And then a little light from heaven filled my soul
He bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above
And just a little talk with my Jesus made me whole
(Now let us) have a little talk with Jesus (let us) tell him all about our troubles
(He will) hear our faintest cry (and we will) answer by and by
(Now when you) feel a little pray'r wheel turning
(Then you'll) know a little fire is burning
(You will) find a little talk with Jesus makes it right
[ piano ]
(Now let us) have a little talk...
[ piano ]
I may have doubts and fears my eyes be filled with tears
But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
I go to him in prayer he knows my every care
And just a little talk with my Jesus gonna makes it right
(Now let us) have a little talk...
(Makes it right)

"Just Between The Two Of Us"

"Just Between The Two Of Us"



People think it's wonderful our love can be so true
You never say an angry word no matter what I do
And you have so much faith in me you trust me anywhere
But the reason if they only knew is that we just don't care

Just between the two of us let's give up this fantasy
For we no longer care enough to even disagree
Everybody envies us and the way we get along
But just between the two of us we know our love is gone
Wish we could go back again to days that used to be

We fought a lot but even then I knew you cared for me
Now we get along so well no teardrops ever fall
But there's no love no anything there's nothing left at all

Just between the two of us...

"Just Get Up And Close The Door"

"Just Get Up And Close The Door"



How can I be sure you're being honest with me can I take your love for truth
There comes a time in every woman's life when she needs a little proof
So show me something different something I ain't never seen before
This time instead of gettin' up and goin' home to her just get up and close the door
Just get up and close the door
And say you'll stay with me tonight say you won't regret the morning light
Then I'll believe the words of love you've said to me before
If you'll just get up and close the door
This time instead of gettin' up and goin' home to her just get up and close the door

"Just To Satisfy (The Weakness In A Man)"

"Just To Satisfy (The Weakness In A Man)"


I realize how difficult it is for you to take me as I am
And knowin' that you're not the first to love me makes the difference in a man
But I feel no shame or guilty conscience knowing the way my moral stand
But my one big mistake in life is
Just to satisfy the weakness ina man
So here I am now you're all of my yesterdays
Just take my hand if you can't see yourself with me
I know my past must hurt you but baby I do the best I can
To live with things I did before without a wedding ring upon my hand
Oh you know it seems so funny that the story should end as it began
But my one big mistake in life was settin' down my strenght
Just to satisfy the weakness in a man
[ guitar + steel ]
So here I am...
