"Old Camp Meetin' Time"

"Old Camp Meetin' Time"


How I like the old time preachin' prayin' singin' shoutin'
How I like the old time readin' of God's words
How I like to hear that old time hallelujah glory
How I like the old time worship of the Lord

Long ago when just a child at old camp meetin' time
How my heart would beat with joy to hear the old bells chime
Callin' all the saints of God onto the house of prayer
Oh such prayin' singin' shoutin' for the Lord was there
How I like the old time preachin'...
[ banjo ]
Preachin' in them good ole days was still the world acclaim
Preachin' for the souls of men and not for wordly fame
Under such old fashion preachin' sinners knelt and pray
And the Lord would save them in that good ole fashion way
How I like the old time preachin'...

"Old Rooster"

"Old Rooster"


He's forty but he thinks that he's twenty
He's got that boyish grin and he grins plenty
At every pretty girl that he's passin
He thinks that they're all his for the asking

He's never aged a day hear him swear
Loving cares done wonders for his hair
Except a few bald spots are showing
The old rooster's back and he's crowing

[Chorus:]
The Old roosters back and he's crowing
Age ain't taught him nothing and it's showin
One of these days he'll wake up and know
He's been knocked off his roostin pole

He's the king of the roost see him struttin
For punishment that ole boy's a glutton
This old hen might start feather picking
If he don't stop eye balling the chickens

Adamantly he's taken by the truck load
He says that he's never gonna grow old
But I've got news for him that's quite alarming
He became a grandpa this morning

[Chorus]

"Old Rugged Cross"

"Old Rugged Cross"


On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross the emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it some day for a crown
[ piano ]
Oh that old rugged cross so despised by the world is a wonderous attraction for me
For the dear lamb of God left this glory above to bare it to dark calvary
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross...

"On My Own Again"

"On My Own Again"



On my own again.
How do I tell him I don't know who I am?
I feel those feelings again.
My hands are shakin' like leaves in the wind.

And in the hall hangs a photograph.
Hard to believe after all these years.
But life can travel by so fast, you turn around and it's gone.

On my own again.
I can't believe he left me here all alone.
We talked of children and friends.
The kids never came and the friends have moved on.

He always took good care of it all.
And always hated to see me cry.
This time he couldn't climb that wall.
And I can't hold back the tears, oh no.

Oh, sometimes I feel so sad inside.
Sometimes I'm angry too, yeah.
If I could only bring him back, he'd know just what to do.

On my own again.
A perfect stranger stands at my door.
Oh, Lord, where do I begin?
I can't believe I'm starting over once more.

On my own again.
Someday we'll look back and remember when.
On my own again.
Oh, heaven, hold him in your arms until then.

On my own again.

"Once A Day"

"Once A Day"


When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pains away until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day
Once a day all day long and once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone is once a day every day all day long
[ piano ]
I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away oh lucky me I'm only cryin' once a day
Once a day all day long...
Once a day every day all day long

"One to Ten"

"One to Ten"



If I had counted one two three before I made you cry
If I had counted four and five and made another try
If we had counted six seven eight and made a brand new start
If we had counted nine and ten we wouldn't be apart
One two three come back to me and let bygones go by
Four and five I know that I've been a foolish guy
Six seven eight give me a date and I'll be as good as pie
Nine and ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye

If I had counted one two three before I walked away
If I had counted four and five well I'd whispered darling stay
If we had counted six seven eight and turned on all our charms
If we had counted nine and ten we'd be in each other's arms
One two three come back to me...
One to ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye

"One You Need"

"One You Need"


I'm not sayin' you don't love me cause I know you do
But I have said enough to know you play some too
You tear me all to pieces then you asked me not to bleed
I'm the woman that you want but I'm not the one you need
The woman that you need is good for any ol' good time
And the woman that you want you wouldn't want if she's that kind
It hurts when you go sowin' wasted love from your wild seed
I'm the woman that you want but I'm not the one you need
[ guitar - steel ]
The woman that you need...

"One's On The Way"

"One's On The Way"



They say to have her hair done Liz flies all the way to France
And Jackie's seen in a discotheque doin' a brand new dance
And the White House social season should be glittering and gay
But here in Topeka the rain is a fallin'
The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin'
One of them a toddlin' and one is a crawlin' and one's on the way
I'm glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact
And Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act
While the TV's showin' Newlyweds a real fun game to play
But here in Topeka the screen door's a bangin'
The coffee's boilin' over and the wash needs a hangin'
One wants a cookie and one wants a changin' and one's on the way
Now what was I doin' Jimmy get away from there darn there goes the phone
Hello honey what's that you say you're bringin' a few ole buddies home
You're callin' from a barn get away from there
No not you honey I was talkin' to the baby wait a minute honey the door bell
Honey could you stop at the market and hello hello well I'll be
The girls in New York City they all march for women's lib
And Better Homes and Gardens shows the modern way to live
And the pill may change the world tomorrow but meanwhile today
Here in Topeka the flies are a buzzin'
The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin'
One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin' Lord one's on the way
Oh gee I hope it ain't twins again

"Only Time I Hurt"

"Only Time I Hurt"


Now I know that I'll forget you cause I forgot you a while ago
And when I thought of you just now only one tear drip down slow
My mind is hard and twisted so and it hardly ever sleeks
But the only time I've hurt is when my heart beats
Since I'm finally gettin' over you I think I'll celebrate
Think of breakin' all your pictures and I might throw one away
And I won't feel this awful pain in about ten million weeks
Cause the only time I hurt is when my heart beats
The only time I hurt is when my heart beats
I live in constant mis'ry cause the hurtin' just repeats
I think about you now and then and everytime your mem'ry speaks
But the only time I hurt is when my heart beats
[ steel ]
The only time I hurt...

"Only Way Around It Is Right Thru The Middle"

"Only Way Around It Is Right Thru The Middle"



I no longer can find love at home
Like the love when we're all alone
I keep searchin' and searchin' but it just isn't there
The answer is here in your arms.

The only way around it is right thru the middle
So why don't we tell them tonight
The only way around it is right thru the middle
We'll never break up so let's make up our minds.

A love light we shared shouldn't hide
When both of us have lost it at home
Neither one of us was looking when we came each other's way
It's not our fault it just happened that's all.

The only way around it is right thru the middle
So why don't we tell them tonight
The only way around it is right thru the middle
We'll never break up so let's make up our minds...
