"Why I'm Walkin'"

"Why I'm Walkin'"


I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
There's such an ache in this old heart well I ain't talkin'
The hand that held mine tight just waved goodbye tonight
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
With an old love in your heart life's not worth livin'
I breathe his name with every breath I'm breathin'
Why can't he ever see how much he means to me
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
[ steel ]
When I pass you on the street and I miss speakin'
Just blame it on this memory I'm keepin'
My head is bowed down low the hurt is bound to show
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'

"Why Me"

"Why Me"



Why me Lord what have I ever done to deserve even one of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord what did I ever do that was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you so help me Jesus my soul's in your hand

Try me Lord if you think there's a way I can try to repay all I've taken from you
Maybe Lord I can show someone else what I've been through myself
On my way back to you
Lord help me Jesus...
Jesus my soul's in your hand

"Will You Visit Me On Sunday"

"Will You Visit Me On Sunday"



Just outside these prison bars a hanging tree is waiting
At sunrise I'll meet darkness and death will say hello
Darling touch your lips to mine and tell me that you love me
And hold me close once more before I go
Will you visit me on Sunday will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling you'd hear my footsteps up here

I promise you that time won't seperate you from my mem'ry
That I'll remember you until the days of silver hair
If not for you I know I'd lose my mind before the morning
Hold me close and tell me that you care
Will you visit me on Sunday...
Yes I'll you visit you on Sunday and I'll bring you pretty flowers

"Window Up Above"

"Window Up Above"


I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds are gathering and the storm will wreck our home
For last night she hugged you tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching from the window up above
You must have thought that I was sleeping oh Lord I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
I thought we belonged together and our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above
[ piano ]
From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to her softly that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope she makes you happy and you'll never lose her love
I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above
How I wished I could be dreaming wake up to the love that's true
But I can't for I was watching from the window up above

"Wine Women And Song"

"Wine Women And Song"


Well I'm at home a workin' and a slavin' this way
You're out of misbehavin' spendin' all of your pay on wine women and song
Well I'm a makin' bed you're out a makin' time
You robbed my piggy bank and spent my last thin dime on wine woman and song
Well one of these nights you gonna come home you find it's comin' home to you
You see what you've done and what's good for one it's also good for two
When you in the doghouse with the mingy ole pup
You may start to thinkin' and a givin' up your wine women and song
[ piano ]
Well one of these nights...

"Wings Upon Your Horns"

"Wings Upon Your Horns"



Before you first made love to me you called me your wife to be
And after that I saw the devil in your eyes
With your sweet smooth talkin' ways you turned a flame into a blaze
Then I'd've let you hang my wings upon your horns
Don't tell me that I'm no saint I'm the first to know I ain't
There's a little thing called love and that's what change me
From an innocent country girl to a woman of the world
Then I'd've let you hang my wings upon your horns
You hung my wings upon your horns and turned my halo in the thorns
And turned me to a woman I can't stand
You're the first who ever make me fall in love and then not take me
Then I'd've let you hang my wings upon your horns
You hung my wings upon your horns...

"Woman Of The World (Leave My World Alone)"

"Woman Of The World (Leave My World Alone)"



You came from the city streets to my little country town
Your spell is on my baby and you've got me sorrow bound
You don't really love him you're playin' around for fun
Woman of the world leave my world alone
You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know
Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go
There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong
Woman of the world leave my world alone

I don't know about the things the bright lights talk to you
My country boy don't know them any better than I do
I'll have to watch him hurtin' after you are gone
Woman of the world leave my world alone
You're the devil's woman...

"Women's Prison"

"Women's Prison"



I'm in a women's prison with bars all around
I caught my darlin cheatin that's when I shot him down
I caught him in a honky-tonk with a girl I used to know
The door to my cell is open wide and a voice cries out oh no

The judge says I'm guilty my sentence is to die
I know I've been forgiven but the price of love is high

The crowd outside is screamin' let the murderer die
But above all their voices I
can hear my mama cry

I'm sittin' here on death row and Lord I've lost my mind
For love I've killed my darlin and for love I'll lose my life

I can hear the warden coming
From the clinging of his keys
But when they come to get me
He'll have to drag me off my kness
The door to my cell swings open
It's time for me to go
The priest is reading my last rights
He says dying's part of livin' ya know

And there's a crowd outside screamin' let that murderer fry
But above all their voices
You can hear my mama cry

Now they've strapped me in the chair
And covered up my eyes
And the last voice I hear on Earth
Is my mama's cry

"Won't You Come Home And Talk To A Stranger"

"Won't You Come Home And Talk To A Stranger"



Well I was out a drinking with a couple of friends of mine
When the bartender handed me the telephone
And said there's my wife on the line
Well I told her I was just a drinking with the couple of biddies I knew
But she told me in a few short words just what she wanted me to do
She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
You might even make yourself a friend
So won't you come home and talk to a stranger
It's the only place in days you haven't been

Well I sat there about an hour a talking with the rest of the guys
When she walked to that front door she had get home in her eyes
She said you've talked and danced with every woman in town but me
If you just come around the house you might like my company
She said won't you come home...
It's the only place in days you haven't been

"Working Girl"

"Working Girl"



Working girl, working girl,
I love you working girl
And all the things that you do
Oh, I don't know what I would do
If you should up and leave
Just sit and grieve.
Sit and grieve, working girl.

Working man, you've got money all the time
Working man, pay my debt and treat me fine
Oh, I don't know if I could take it
If you should up and go
I love you so
I love you so working man.

She give me money when I'm down, working girl
She takes me out on the town, working girl
Each time I think it's over she makes me see
Mhm she loves just me.
Only me working girl.

Buy me rings expensive things, working man
Pretty boots a swinging clothes, working man
Shany car a new guitar and that ain't all
When I'm with you I walk real proud you walk real tall.
Working girl, working girl.

I love you working man, I love the things that you do...
