(originally by The Beatles)

"Get Back"
(originally by The Beatles)

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner but he knew it couldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson Arizona for some California grass
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo, go home.

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back Joe.

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman but she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming but she gets it while she can
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back to wed now, going home.

Oh get back, yeah get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged, ooo ...

Get back to wed her
Your mama's waiting for you
Wearing her high-heeled shoes and her low-neck sweater
Get back home Loretta
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Oh get back, get back, get back, oh yeah.

"Going Up The Country"
(originally by Canned Heat)

"Going Up The Country"
(originally by Canned Heat)

Going up to the country, baby do you wanna go
Going up to the country, tell me do you wanna go
We're going to some place that we've never been before

We're going, we're going where the water tastes like wine
We're going, we're going where the water tastes like wine
Gonna jump in that the water, and stay there all the time

Gonna leave the city, got to get away
Gonna leave the city, got to get away
All that fussing and fighting man, you know we sure can't stay

So baby pack your leaving trunk we got to get away
Just exactly where we're going you know I cannot say,
But we might even see the USA (in a Chevrolet)
It's a brand new game you know I want to play

No use of you running, screaming and crying
You got a home girl, long as I got mine

"Good To Be Alive"

"Good To Be Alive"

Life is like a hurricane
It brings the wind, it brings the rain
Mud and bone, and tangled vine
Pick the grape and drank the wine

Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
It's good to be alive

Roll in the clover bare your feet
Bees will sting but honey's sweet
Chickens run but angels fly
'Cuz God is holding up the sky

Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
It's good to be alive

Shiny hearses long and black
Don't come with a luggage rack
You can't take it when you go
So let the good, the good times roll

Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Je Suis Vivant... Vivant

Shiny hearses long and black
Don't come with a luggage rack
You can't take it when you go
So let the good, the good times roll

Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
It's good to be alive

"Goodbye Eyes"

"Goodbye Eyes"

So you found me again
Well, this ain't gonna be nothin' like before
Before tonight we couldn't be friends
Find a bar and talk old times until they closed the door.

Well, I'd even take you home
But I'd rather leave alone
I don't want to get caught in your goodbye eyes again.

You say you're sorry for leavin' me
Well, the pain is like the past, it's all just memories
I could fall again this evenin'
But to share the blue that I've been through won't let me be that easy.

So forgive me if I look away
I'll hear all you have to say
But I won't get caught in your goodbye eyes again.

Oh, tonight I'll sleep alone
But tomorrow I won't find you gone
I'll miss you but I missed you for so long.

I can't miss you anymore
So I've been hidin', tryin' not to look in
I don't want to get caught in your goodbye eyes again.

So, please, forgive me if I look away
I'll hear all you have to say
But I won't get caught in your goodbye eyes again.

Yes, tonight I'll sleep alone
But tomorrow I won't find you gone
I'll miss you but I missed you for so long.

I can't miss you anymore
So I've been away a lot, tryin' not to be where you have been
I did not want to get caught in your goodbye eyes again.

Oh, blue, blue ocean, please, don't swallow me
I don't want to get caught in your goodbye eyes again
I don't want to get caught in your goodbye eyes again.

"Goodnight Irene"
(originally by Lead Belly)

"Goodnight Irene"
(originally by Lead Belly)

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
I wanna take a little stroll downtown.

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown.

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.

Wait your rambling, wait your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Stay home with your wife and family
And stay fireside bright.

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.

"Goodnight My Love (Pleasant Dreams)"

"Goodnight My Love (Pleasant Dreams)"

Good night, my love
Pleasant dreams, sleep tight my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me.

Before you go
There's just one thing I'd like to know
Is your love still wrong for me
Or has it grown old ?

If you should awake in the still of the night
Please, have no fear
Well, I'll be there, you know I care
Please, give your love to me dear only.

Good night, my love
Pleasant dreams, sleep tight my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me.

My darling, I really like ...
And your tight shirt only looks so fine
And all that groovy ...
I love you, I love you, I do.

Before you go
There’s just one thing I’d like you know
Is your love still wrong for me
Or has it grown old ?

"Grand Ole Opry Song"

"Grand Ole Opry Song"

Come and listen to my story if you will I'm gonna tell
About a gang of fellers from down at nashville
First I'll start with old Red Foley doin' the "chattanooga shoe"
We can't forget Hank Williams with them good old "lovesick blues"

It's time for Roy Acuff to go to Memphis on his train
With Minnie Pearl and Rod Brasfield and Lazy Jim Day
Turn on all your radios I know that you will wait
Hear Little Kimmy Dickens sing "take an old cold tater and wait"

There'll be guitars and fiddles, Earl Scruggs and his banjo too
Bill Monroe singing 'em the "honky tonky blues"
Ernest Tubb's number "two wrongs won't make a right"
At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry saturday night

There was Uncle Dave Macon his gold tooth and plug-hat
Cowboy Copas singing "tragic romance"
Signed sealed and delivered with Sam and Kirk McGee
And the master of ceremony was Mr. George D. Hays

There was Lonzo and Oscar a-poppin' bubble gum
George Morgan singin' "candy kisses" yum yum
"got a hole in my bucket" "bringin' in that georgia mill"
We'll sing "the sunny side of the mountain" and dance to the "chicken reel"

There'll be guitars and fiddles and banjo pickin' too
Bill Monroe singin' 'em the "honky tonky blues"
Ernest Tubb's number too wrongs won't make a right
At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry saturday night

You can talk about your singers in all kinds of way
But none could sing the old songs like bradley kincaid
With his old hound dog "guitar" and the famous "blue tail fly"
Stringbean with hank snow and old fiddlin' chubby wise

There'll be guitars and fiddles, Earl Scruggs and his banjo too
Bill Monroe singin' 'em the "honky tonky blues"
Ernest Tubb's number "two wrongs don't make a right"
At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry saturday night

"Grandpa Was A Carpenter"

"Grandpa Was A Carpenter"

Oh, grandpa wore his suit to dinner nearly every day
No particular reason, he just dressed that way
Brown necktie with a matching vest and both his wingtip shoes
He built a closet on our back porch and put a penny in a burned-out fuse

Grandpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes, and hammered nails in planks
He would level on the level, he shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower, 'cause Lincoln won the war

Well, he used to sing me "blood on the saddle" and rock me on his knee
And let me listen to the radio before we got tv
Well, he'd drive to church on sunday and he'd take me with him too
Stained glass in every window, hearing aids in every pew

Grandpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes, and hammered nails in planks
He would level on the level, he shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower, 'cause Lincoln won the war

Well, my grandma was a teacher, she went to school in bowling green
Traded in a milking cow for a singer sewing machine
Well, she called her husband "mister," and she walked real tall and proud
She used to buy me comic books after grandpa died

Grandpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes, and hammered nails in planks
He would level on the level, he shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower, 'cause Lincoln won the war

"Harmony"

"Harmony"

Long ago the brothers fought
But still the tears are shed
So here we stand no wiser than before
Still the hunter rules the hearts of men

Whether I'm right or I'm wrong
Too weak or strong
Sure seems plain to me
Too young or old
Too shy or bold
We all need help
Just to move the stone

Those special favors to light the road
Songbird when you comin' home
On the highway the going's tough
It's harmony that splits the dark

How long (Sha-la-la-la-la-lala)
Sing it sweet need the harmony
Brother it's taken too long
(Sha-la-la-la-la-lala)
What makes it shine is the harmony

If I'm right or I'm wrong
Too weak or strong
Whether I flop or I steal the show
If we sink or we swim
We lose or win
What's yours and mine is the harmony

Those special favors you're on your own
Songbird when you comin' home
On the highway the going's rough
It's harmony that splits the dark

How long (Sha-la-la-la-la-lala)
Sing it sweet need the harmony
Brother it's taken too long
(Sha-la-la-la-la-lala)
What makes it shine is the harmony

It's the harmony
Sweet harmony
What makes it shine is the harmony
It's the harmony
(Sha-la-la-la-la-lala)
Swee-e-e-e-e-et harmony
Harmony
It's taken too long (Sha-la-la-la-la-lala)
What makes it shine is the harmony
It's the harmony (Sha-la-la-la-la-lala)
Harmony
Swee-e-e-e-e-et harmony

"Heartaches In Heartaches"

"Heartaches In Heartaches"

Long ago it seemed to me I had it made
I had a little money, I had my little honey
One day her feelings strayed to another guy
And I lost everything but a hurt her memory brings.

Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
That's all I've known since she went and turned me down
Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
Since my baby left me in this town.

Any man can claim to have his share of sadness
That's the way they made it and they ain't gonna change it
Since my baby left I been workin' overtime
And there's no vacation, such a mean sensation.

Oh, heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
That's all I've known since she went and turned me down
Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
Since my baby left me in this town.

Oh.

Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
That's all I've known since she went and turned me down
Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
Since my baby left me in this town.

Oh, heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
That's all I've known since she went and turned me down
Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
Since my baby left me in this town.

...
