"Last Night About This Time"

"Last Night About This Time"

You were in my arms last night about this time
And the world belonged to me 'cause you were mine
For a moment I thought everything was fine
'Cause the world was mine last night about this time

But it isn't in your plans that you should care
And the lips I kissed are lips I only share
And the kiss you gave was never really mine
Love walked in and out last night about this time

Tonight you hold another in your arms
And he'll thrill the way I did to all your charms
And he'll kiss the same sweet lips I wish were mine
Just the way I did last night about this time

Last night about this time you made a vow
You were havin' fun and it means nothin' now
I was foolish, yes, so foolish and so blind
When I fell in love last night about this time-ime-ime

"Like All The Other Times"

"Like All The Other Times"

Just like all the other times you leave leaving me alone here to grieve
Begging you to stay but still you go this time you won't be back I know
Just like all the other times I cry had that same old hurt deep down inside
Lonely nights for me are nothing new lonely every night since I lost you
It's my fault because I've lost but I just couldn't see
If I'd been a man I should you'd still be here with me
But I guess it's always been this way when you break a heart you have'll to pay
Life will be so empty from now on just like all the other times you've gone

It's my fault because I've lost...
Just like all the other times you've gone

"Little Joe The Wrangler"

"Little Joe The Wrangler"

Little Joe the Wrangler will wrangle nevermore
His days with the roundup they are o'er
Was a year ago last April when he rode into our camp
Just a little Texas stray and nothing more

Was late in the evening when he rode into our camp
On the little Texas pony he called Chaw
With his brogan shoes and overalls a tougher looking kid
You never in your life before had saw

His saddle was a Texas kack built many years ago
An OK spur on one foot lightly swung
With his packroll in a cotton sack so loosely tied behind
And a canteen from his saddle horn was slung

He said he had to leave his home his pa had married twice
His new ma whipped him every day or two
So he saddled up old Chaw one night and lit a shuck his way
He said he'd try to paddle his own canoe

He said if we would give him work he'd do the best he could
Though he didn't know straight up about a cow
So the boss he cut him out a mount and kindly put him on
He sorta liked this little kid somehow

He learned to wrangle horses and learned to know them all
And get them in at daybreakk if he could
And to trail the old chuck wagon and always hitch the team
And help to cook each evening rustle wood

We had hardly reached the Pecos the weather it was fine
We were camped down on the south side in a draw
When a northern commenced blowing and we doubled up our guards
It took every one of us to hold them in

Little Joe the Wrangler was called out with the rest
Scarcely had the little fellow reached the herd
When the cattle they stampeded like a hailstorm on they fled
And everyone was ridin' for the lead

Amid the streaks of lightnin' there was one horse up ahead
He was tryin' to check the leaders in their speed
It was little Joe the Wrangler with a slicker o'er his head
He was ridin' Old Blue Rocket in the lead

At last we got them millin' and kinda quited down
And the extra guards back to the wagon went
But there was one a missin' we could see it at a glance
Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe

Next morning just at daybreak we found where Rocket fell
Down in a washout twenty feet below
Beneath his horse his life had gone his spung had run its knell
Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe

"Little Rich Girl"

"Little Rich Girl"

This is the end of a romance
It was almost but not quite, you see
I couldn't give you a thing you don't already have
Little rich girl, you're too good for me

My love for you was no secret
It was one love that just couldn't be
I could never compete with the nice things you have
Little rich girl, you're too good for me

May the warm winds of love keep your world all aglow
May you never be lonesome like me
May the cold, chilly winds of despair never blow
Little rich girl, you're too good for me

May the warm winds of love keep your world all aglow
May you never be lonesome like me
May the cold, chilly winds of despair never blow
Little rich girl, you're too good for me

"Little Robin"

"Little Robin"

Little robin are you ever lonely and blue
Has your lover gone with somebody new
Or will she return when nightime is near
To cuddle up closer and ever so near

You look so lonely up there in the tree
Won't you be friendly and sit here with me
I cry when I see her out walking with him
Like you little robin I'm out on a limb

You look so lonely up there in the tree
Won't you be friendly and sit here with me
I cry when I see her out walking with him
Like you little robin I'm out on a limb

"Lolene"

"Lolene"

When but a boy I courted Sally
My life was young, not quite sixteen
We talked of things I sometimes dreamed of
And things beyond my wildest dreams

At seventeen I met Wynona
Her warm, red lips set me aglow
She taught me things she should not teach me
More that a young man ought to know

At nineteen years my love was Sara
She was much older than the rest
Of all the men she said had kissed her
She loved the way I kissed her best

Time has flown and I am older
My years are five and thirty-five
Too late, too late I met my lover
A woman very much alive

Lolene, Lolene your name is music
Your nearness makes my blood run wild
Alas, alas I cannot claim you
Compared to me, you're but a child

So one last time I must be with you
And kiss the lips that thrilled my heart
And then goodbye, no more to see you
Forever we must be apart

"Lonely Too Long"

"Lonely Too Long"

She's on the phone again
Wants to come home again
Wants to try one more time
To prove she's really mine
She wants to try again
I know she'll lie again
To take her back is wrong
But I've been lonely too long

The chance is very slim
That she's forgotten him
She may be tryin' to hide
The hurt, the wounded pride
There's just a chance that she
Might reconsider me
But chances are I'm wrong
But I've been lonely too long

Lonely too long, too long
Walked on like dirt
Lonely too long, too long
And oh, how it hurts
She knows that I'll give in
I'll take her back again
And once more I'll be wrong
But I've been lonely too long

"Long Tall Sally"
(originally by The Beatles)

"Long Tall Sally"
(originally by The Beatles)

Don't tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John.
He claims he got married, but he's having lots of fun.
Oh baby, yeah baby,
Ooh, baby, having me some fun tonight.

Well, long, tall Sally, she's built sweet,
She's got everything that Uncle John needs.
Oh baby, yeah baby,
Ooh baby, having me some fun tonight.

Well, I saw Uncle John with bald-head Sally,
He saw Aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley.
Oh baby, yeah baby,
Oh baby, having me some fun tonight.

Well, long, tall Sally, she's built sweet,
She's got everything that Uncle John needs.
Oh baby, yeah baby,
Ooh, baby, having me some fun tonight.

You know, I saw Uncle John with bald-head Sally,
He saw Aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley.
Ooh, baby, having me some fun tonight.

I'm gonna have some fun tonight,
Have some fun tonight, have some fun tonight,
Everything's all right,
Have some fun, having me some fun tonight.

"Long, Long Ago"

"Long, Long Ago"

Tell me the tales that to me were so dear
Long, long ago, long, long ago
Sing me the songs I delight in to hear
Long, long ago, long ago

Now you are come all my fears are removed
Let me forget for how long you have grown
Let me believe that you love as you loved
Long, long ago, long ago

Do you remember the past where we met
Long, long ago, long, long ago
Ah yes, you told me you'd never forget
Long, long ago, long ago

Then, to all others, my smile you preferred
Love, when you spoke, gave a charm to each word
Still my heart treasures the praises I heard
Long, long ago, long ago

"Love Me Or Leave Me Alone"

"Love Me Or Leave Me Alone"

A lonely wife had written a letter one sad day
To the one she loved who'd wandered far away
And her teardrops fell like rain falling on the window pane
Them she read the note and this it had to say

If you love me come and stay
If you don't, please stay away
Either love me or leave me alone
Don't come back and say you'll stay
If you plan to leave someday
Either love me or leave me alone

I can't stand this grief and strife
Sick with heartache, sick with fright
Since we've married you've left me to roam
I have led a lonely life
Since you took me for your wife
Either love me or leave me alone

Love me now or say goodbye
Don't come back and live a lie
You must love me or leave me alone
Love like yours just can't be true
But I'm still in love with you
You must love me or leave me alone

If you love me come and stay
If you don't, please stay away
Either love me or leave me alone
Don't come back and say you'll stay
If you plan to leave someday
Either love me or leave me alone
