"Jodie (Judy)"

"Jodie (Judy)"



You came down out of Heaven to make me happy, dear
To smile away my sorrows and kiss away my tears
Seems that I have loved you though we've never meet before
But now you're in my heart, love, to stay for evermore

You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin'
You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew
My arms could never hold another
'Cause my love is only for you

The nights were dark and lonely the days were lonely too
But now they're all so bright, love, cause all I see is you
You came into my heart, love, from out of empty space
With a song upon your lips, dear, with a smile upon your face

You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin'
You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew
My arms could never hold another
'Cause my love is only for you

"Johnny Fedavo"

"Johnny Fedavo"



Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
There lived a maiden lovely as a rose
Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo
For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too
They made a vow that they'd always love each other
For them, on other could be so true

Storm clouds swept in the life of Johnny Fedavo
The promise of Heaven lasted for just a day
God needed someone to brighten his throne
Lisa was taken and Johnny was left all alone

That day in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
Sadly, a village laid their rose away
Johnny came home but no Lisa was there to meet him
No arms to greet him or hold him tight
Johnny prayed alone for God to hear it
To take his spirit away that night

The years passed by and no one saw Johnny Fedavo
The children grew and people were gay once more
One day they found him with hair snowy white
The rose in his hand was his message to Lisa that night

Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
Two lovers at last their peace with God have found
Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo
For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too
There in the chapel shadows they both lay sleeping
Their vows still keeping and both still true

"Just Before The Battle, Mother"

"Just Before The Battle, Mother"



Just before the battle, Mother,
I am thinking most of you
While upon the fields we're watching,
With the enemy in view

Comrades, brave, are round me lying
Filled with thoughts of home and God
For well they know that on the morrow
Some will sleep beneath the sod

Farewell, Mother, you may never
Press me to your heart again
But, oh, you'll not forget me, Mother
If I'm numbered with the slain

Hark, I hear the bugels sounding
'Tis the signal for the fight
Now may God protect us, Mother
As he ever does the right

Hear the battle cry of freedom
How it swells up in the air
Yes, we'll rally round the standard
Or we'll perish nobly there

Farewell, Mother, you may never
Press me to your heart again
But, oh, you'll not forget me, Mother
If I'm numbered with the slain

"Just Married"

"Just Married"



Just married this mornin'.
How happy they are.
"Just Married" written on
The window of a-their car.
It broke my heart
To see them drive away.
I lost the one I love today.

Dressed all in white satin,
White lace in her hair.
She looked so lovely
It was more than I could bear.
Some people guessed the way that I felt
They saw the tears I could not hide.

I should have stayed at home.
I knew what was in store,
But somethin' made me come
To see her just once more.
Just married this mornin'.
How happy they are.
"Just Married" written on
The window of a-their car.
It broke my heart
To see them drive away.
I lost the one I love today.

I should have stayed at home.
I knew what was in store,
But somethin' made me come
To see her just once more.
Just married this mornin'.
How happy they are.
"Just Married" written on
The window of a-their car.
It broke my heart
To see them drive away.
I lost the one I love today.

"Ka-Lu-A (Love Song Of Kalua)"

"Ka-Lu-A (Love Song Of Kalua)"



This is the night of love
The shining of our love, Kalua
Her song is in the air
Her lips are waiting there
Who will be Kalua's only love
(who will her lover be)
(who will her lover be)

Before the night is old
My arms will hold Kalua
And as the trade winds blow soft and low
(soft and low)
Our love will blossom bright in the night
(in the night)
And stars will sing above
The love song of Kalua

(who will her lover be)
(who will her lover be)
Before the night is old
My arms will hold Kalua
And as the trade winds blow soft and low
(soft and low)
Our love will blossom bright in the night
(in the night)
And stars will sing above
The love song of Kalua
(who will her lover be)
(who will her lover be)

"Kaw-Liga"

"Kaw-Liga"



Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standin' by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever let it show
So she could never answer yes or no.

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine.

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is there any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head.

Kaw-Liga was a lonely Indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no.

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine.

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is there any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head...

"Kinda Halfway Feel"

"Kinda Halfway Feel"



(Kinda halfway feel that you and I are through)

Here I am and I'm alone and feeling lonely
Bothered by the thought that someone's holding you
Disappointed and I'm wanting your kiss only
Kinda halfway feel that you and I are through.

I play the jukebox and I set you halfway hoping you'll walk in
And halfway knowing that you won't be by yourself
There's such a feeling in my heart I halfway face the truth
Kinda halfway feel that you want someone else.

At a table where you used to sit beside me
In a corner that we felt was all our own
So in love that my heart's breaking up inside me
It's a different world when you're left alone.

I play the jukebox and I set you halfway hoping you'll walk in
And halfway knowing that you won't be by yourself
There's such a feeling in my heart I halfway face the truth
Kinda halfway feel that you want someone else...

"Kingston Girl"

"Kingston Girl"



Just another night and day
Then I'll see Kingston Bay
And when I see Kingston Bay
I'll see my Kingston woman
I'll see my Kingston girl

I work on boat that sails the sea
Kingston woman waits for me
Waits for me to see the world
I want my Kingston woman
I want my Kingston girl

I wish I never leave my home
Kingston Town where I belong
Kingston girl who loves me so
The one I hurt when I go
This was a long, long time ago

Soon we walk on golden sand
Kingston woman hold my hand
When the moon is shining bright
I'll kiss my Kingston woman
I'll kiss my Kingston girl

Just another night and day
Then I'll see Kingston Bay
And when I see Kingston Bay
I'll see my Kingston woman
I'll see my Kingston girl

"Knee Deep In The Blues"

"Knee Deep In The Blues"



Well I've just been thinking things over my heart has flowen with tears
My life just don't seem worth living and it's been this way for years
My skies have all turned to grey now and I just walk the soles off of my shoes
Well I don't have much to say now well I'm just knee deep in the blues

Well I've just been thinking things over my heart has flowen with tears
My life just don't seem worth living and it's been this way for years
Don't ask me why I am crying cause I have lost about all I can lose
Well there's just no use in trying well I'm just knee deep in the blues

"Kuu Ipo Lani (My Sweetheart Lani)"

"Kuu Ipo Lani (My Sweetheart Lani)"



Kuu-ipo-lani my sweetheart from Hawaii
Your hula hands are saying that your lips were only playing a game
We kissed and then you slipped away
To another's arms to stay
Your love awaits he calls your name Kuu-ipo-lani

You're gone the music fades and dies
Still I see your dusky eyes
The surfs and sands are whispering
That your love's a game of kissing
And then you'll do your dance of love once more
On another moonlit shore
I know he'll break your heart someday Kuu-ipo-lani Kuu-ipo-lani
