"Tumbling Tumbleweeds"

"Tumbling Tumbleweeds"



See then tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

I'm a rovin' cowboy ridin' all day long
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song
Nights underneath the prairie moon
I'll ride along and sing a tune

See then tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

I know when night is gone
That a new world's born at dawn

I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

"Unchained Melody"

"Unchained Melody"



Oh my love my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God-speed your love
To me.

Lonely rivers flow to the arms of the sea
To the waiting arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry wait for me wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me

My love, wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
(Wait for me)

"Up In The Air"

"Up In The Air"



Up in the air when you're with me
Down in the dumps when you're gone
You're out of sight, my day becomes night
Everything seems to go wrong

I'm like a child when you're with me
Emotions I cannot contain
You walk beside me, happiness drives me
Everything seems right as rain

I'm like a lamp in the corner
Goes out whenever you're gone
You disappear, then when you reappear
The lamp in the corner comes on

Mold me and make me to please you
That's how I want it to be
I won't complain if you make me a clown
Long as you care for me

I'm like a lamp in the corner
Goes out whenever you're gone
You disappear, then when you reappear
The lamp in the corner comes on

Mold me and make me to please you
That's how I want it to be
I won't complain if you make me a clown
Long as you care for me

"Urgently Needed"

"Urgently Needed"



Urgently needed in my emergency
Someone to mend a broken heart
That heart belongs to me
Urgently needed someone to rescue me
Won't someone save a lonely man
From heartache's misery

I've been the victim of a hit and run affair
Run over by a careless love
Who never really cared
Urgently needed, I'm pleading desperately
Please help me while there's still a chance
Someone hear my plea

Urgently needed, a love that's good and true
A love that I can call my own
It never makes me blue
Urgently needed, lovein' surgery
To put together shattered dreams
And take the hurt from me

I've been the victim of a hit and run affair
Run over by a careless love
Who never really cared
Urgently needed, I'm pleading desperately
Please help me while there's still a chance
Someone hear my plea

"Utah Carol"

"Utah Carol"



And now my friends you've asked me what makes me sad and still
And why my brow is darkened like the clouds upon the hill
Run in your ponies closer and I'll tell to you my tale
Of Utah Carol my partner and his last ride on the trail

We rode the range together and rode it side by side
I loved him like a brother, and I wept when Utah died
We were rounding up one morning when work was almost done
When on his side the cattle started on a frightened run

Underneath the saddle that the boss's daughter rode
Utah that very morning had placed a bright red robe
So the saddle might ride easy for Lenore his little friend
And it was this red blanket that brought him to his end

The blanket was now dragging behind her on the ground
The frightened cattle saw it and charged it with a bound
Lenore then saw her danger and turned her pony's face
And leaning in the saddle tied the blanket to its place

But in leaning lost her balance, fell in front of that wild tide
"Lay still Lenore I'm coming" were the words that Utah cried
His faithful pony saw her and reached her in a bound
I thought he'd been successful, and raised her from the ground

But the weight upon the saddle had not been felt before
His backcinch snapped like thunder and he fell by Lenore
Picking up the blanket he swung it over his head
And started cross the prairie, "Lay still Lenore" he said

When he got the stampede turned and saved Lenore his friend
He turned to face the cattle and meet his fatal end
His six gun flashed like lightning, the report rang loud and clear
As the cattle rushed and killed him he dropped the leading steer

On his funeral morning I heard the preacher say
I hope we'll all meet Utah at the roundup far away
Then they wrapped him in a blanket that saved his little friend
And it was this red blanket that brought him to his end

"Waiting In Reno"

"Waiting In Reno"



She will be waiting in Reno with love warm and tender
She loves and wants me and her love to me she'll surrender
This girl with the black eyes and skin touched by hot winds and sunshine
Will be waiting in Reno tonight and this is the night she'll be mine
Waiting in Reno for my arms to find her and hold her
Waiting and hoping that I will not be far behind her
Black eyes and red ruby lips excitement in her fingertips
Passion is there on her lips she'll be waiting in Reno tonight

It's been so long since I've seen her but I still remember
The tears in the dark eyes when I said that I had to leave her
And the way that her lips stayed on mine like a warm burning ember
She'll be waiting in Reno tonight this is the night she'll be mine
Waiting in Reno...

"Waltz Of The Wind"

"Waltz Of The Wind"



You were there in my arms, alone in the moonlight
The trees played the waltz of the wind
It was there that I knew I'd love you forever
As we danced to the waltz of the wind.

The stars up above you, looked down in your eyes
And told me the night would never end
Now I'm dreaming of you, till we meet tomorrow
And dance to the Waltz of the wind.

The stars up above you, looked down in your eyes
And told me the night would never end
Now I'm dreaming of you, till we meet tomorrow
And dance to the Waltz of the wind.

"Way Out There"

"Way Out There"


[Yodel]

A lonely spot I know where no man may go
Where the shadows have all of the room
I was ridin' free on that old S. P.
Hummin' a southern tune
When a man came along, made me hush my song
Kicked me off away out there

[Yodel]

As she went passin' by I caught her on the fly
And I climbed in an open door
Then I turned around to that desert ground
I would see no more
And as I rode away I heard the pale moon say
Sure gets lonesome way out there

[Yodel]

"Wedding Bells"

"Wedding Bells"



I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you with another
But dear, I hope you're happy just the same.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing out for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else, you're walking
Those wedding bell will never ring for me.

I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even bought a little band of gold
I thought some day I'd place it on your finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
I hear the children laughing out with glee
At home alone I hang my head in sorrow
Those wedding bells will never ring for me.

I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
And while the organ plays 'I Love You Truly'
Please let me pretend that I am there.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I knew someday that you would wed another
But wedding bells will never ring for me.

"What God Has Done"

"What God Has Done"



(Content we'll be if we will choose his way)

What God has done is not a hidden secret
Our eyes behold his glory day by day
Our hearts may feel his presence close beside us
Content we'll be if we will choose his way

Great are the words of God the great creator
Great is the work done by his mighty hand
In heaven or earth there's no one who is greater
And in his love forever we shall stand

His is a tune to hear the pain just disperse
His heart is overflowing now with love
His eyes are heavens searching longing for us
And with his hands he beckons from above

Great are the words of God the great creator...
