"I'm Happy 'Cause You're Hurtin'"

"I'm Happy 'Cause You're Hurtin'"



I'm happy 'cause you're hurtin', dear, and though it makes me blue
I'm happy 'cause the one ya love is not in love with you
I'm happy 'cause he's treatin' you just like a used to be
I'm so happy that you're hurtin' just like me

I'm happy 'cause like me you're always lonesome
You're sentimental, always feelin' blue
Just like me you've lost your one and only
You love him the way that I love you

I'm happy 'cause you're hurtin', dear, and though it breaks my heart
I'm happy that by now I guess you learn you're not so smart
I'm laughin' 'cause you're cryin', dear, and though it shouldn't be
I'm so happy that you're hurtin' just like me

I'm happy 'cause like me you're always lonesome
You're sentimental, always feelin' blue
Just like me you've lost your one and only
You love him the way that I love you

I'm happy 'cause you're hurtin', dear, and though it breaks my heart
I'm happy that by now I guess you learn you're not so smart
I'm laughin' 'cause you're cryin', dear, and though it shouldn't be
I'm so happy that you're hurtin' just like me

"I'm Kin To The Wind"

"I'm Kin To The Wind"



Wherever the trail may wind wherever the mountains climb
That's where you'll find me I'm kin to the wind
Wherever the trail may go wherever the tumbleweeds grow
That's where you'll find me I'm kin to the wind

Night time may find me at a campfire bright
Long before daylight I'll be gone with the night
Wherever the river winds wherever the mountains climb
That's where you'll find me I'm kin to the wind

"I'm Not Ready Yet"

"I'm Not Ready Yet"



Always knew you'd find another
And my way of life I'd have to rearrange
Thought I'd give when you were ready
Now I find it very hard to make the change

It's all over now
I'll make the change somehow
I'll get over you
What else is there to do
Though I'm not ready yet
I know I must forget
I'll make the change somehow
Though I'm not ready now

I'm surprised, I thought I'd make it
I've been trainin' for this day a long, long time
Now I find that I'm not ready
To accept the fact that you're no longer mine

It's all over now
I'll make the change somehow
I'll get over you
What else is there to do
Though I'm not ready yet
I know I must forget
I'll make the change somehow
Though I'm not ready now

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
(originally by Hank Williams)

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
(originally by Hank Williams)



Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide it's face and cry.

Did you ever see a robin weep?
When leaves begin to die
Like me he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry...

"I'm Too Big To Cry"

"I'm Too Big To Cry"



I guess I never realized
How lonesome I could be
I never thought the time would come
When you'd grow tired of me
Your voice was never sweeter than
The day you said goodbye
You never know how much I hurt
Cause I'm too big to cry

If I knew then what I know now
You'd still be kissin' me
Instead there's someone elses lips
Where my two lips should be
I say, hello, and wish you well
Each time as you walk by
You never know how much I hurt
Cause I'm too big to cry

You never did look lovelier
Than when you walked away
When I can't sleep I don't count sheep
I count mistakes I've made
I can't believe you don't love me
No matter how I try
You never know how much I hurt
Cause I'm too big to cry

It seems so strange to be alone
I never dreamed we'd part
The tears that fall, you'll never see
There fallin' in my heart
To go through life without you're love
I guess I'd rather die
You never know what I go through
Cause I'm too big to cry

"I've Got A Woman's Love"

"I've Got A Woman's Love"


The field is my home where I work mighty hard
I stand in the shade of Heaven's reward
I'm happy and free 'cause
I've got a, a woman's love

She stands by my side through worry and care
Willin' to give, willin' to share
I'm happy and free 'cause
I've got a, a woman's love

There's bread on our table, and rest in our bed
Plenty of courage to face what's ahead
She gives me contenment when my day is done
Gave me a daughter, gave me a son

My cotton is white, there's gold in the grain
I got nothin' to lose and plenty to gain
I'm happy and free 'cause
I've got a, a woman's love

"I've Got No Use For The Women"

"I've Got No Use For The Women"



I've got no use for the women a true one may seldom be found
They'll use a man for his money when its gone they'll turn him down
They're all alike at the bottom selfish and grasping for all
They'll stay by a man when he's winning and laugh in his face when he falls
My pal was an honest young puncher honest and upright and true
Till he turned to a gun shooting gambler on account of a girl named Lou
They fell in with evil companions the kind they are better off dead
When a gambler insulted her picture he filled him full of lead
All through the long night they trailed him through mesquite and thick chaparral
I couldn't help think of that woman as I saw him pitch and fall
If she'd been the pal that she should have he might have been rising a son
Instead of out there in the prairie to die by a ranger's gun
Death's sharp sting did not trouble his chances for life were too slim
Where they were putting his body was all that worried him
He lifted his head on his elbow the blood from his wound flowed red
He gazed at his friends gathered round him he looked up at them and he said
Bury me out on the prairie where the coyotes can howl o'er my grave
Bury me out on the prairie but from them my bones please save
Wrap me up in a blanket bury me deep in the ground
Cover me over the boulders of granite big and round
We buried him on the prairie where the coyotes can howl o'er his grave
His soul is now arresting from the unkind cut she gave
And many another young puncher as he rides past the pile of stones
Recalls some similar woman and think of his moldering bones

"In The Ashes Of An Old Love Affair"

"In The Ashes Of An Old Love Affair"



In the ashes of an old love I found the spark burning yet
As I watched it I kept thinking I could never forget
An old love that didn't last I saw my future just like my past
In the ashes of an old love affair
Then a spark rosin gave light to a world of romance
And it thrilled me to think there could still be a chance
In these mouldering embers I saw love burning bright
In the ashes of an old love affair

Then a spark rosin gave light to a world of romance
And it thrilled me to think there could still be a chance
In these mouldering embers I saw love burning bright
In the ashes of an old love affair

"In The Valley"

"In The Valley"



I'm as sad as the willow
That weeps in the valley
Since you've gone,
Since you've gone from my arms

I'm as sad as the cold wind
That rythes in the treetops,
I'll be lonesome until you return

Come back, come back,
Come back to the valley,
Come back to this poor cowboy's arms

I will weep like the willow
That weeps in the valley,
I'll be lonesome until you return

Come back, come back,
Come back to the valley,
Come back to this poor cowboy's arms

I will weep like the willow
That weeps in the valley,
I'll be lonesome until you return

"In The Valley Of The Rio Grande"

"In The Valley Of The Rio Grande"



In the valley of the Rio Grande is a brown eyed Mexican maiden I want to see
In the valley of the Rio Grande in a garden of roses she said she'd wait for me
To the valley of the Rio Grande I know I must go cause my heart tells me go again
If I stay any longer she may find another to love her
So tonight I must ride for the valley of the Rio Grande
I can see the candle in her window every night she said would brightly burn
I've been travelin' anywhere the wind blows but my heart tells me I must return
To the valley of the Rio Grande
As I ride I will pray that she waits there each day for me
Have I been gone too long will she still be there where I left her
In the garden that lies in the valley of the Rio Grande
