"Please Help Me, I'm Falling"
(originally by Hank Locklin)



Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
Close the door to temptation
Don't let me walk through

Turn away from me, darling
I'm begging you to
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you

I belong to another
Whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever
To have and to hold

I can never be free, dear
But when I'm with you
Oh, I know that I'm losing
The will to be true

Please help me, I'm falling
And that would be sin
Close the door to temptation
Don't let me walk in

For I mustn't want you
But, darling, I do
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you

"Pretty Little Miss"

"Pretty Little Miss"


Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Goin' back to Harlan

Well the boys all call me "Pretty Little Miss"
It don't ever phase me
But every time he call my name
It nearly drives me crazy

Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Goin' back to Harlan

Mama says he's not my type
He really loves another
But he's gonna marry me
When I turn twelve this summer

Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Goin' back to Harlan

Well, paint and powder, curled my hair
The day he came a callin'
He ran off with my older sis
And I commenced to squallin'

Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Goin' back to Harlan

Oh spring has sprung, summer's gone
Fall is quickly fadin'
Guess I'll spend my winter months
A sad and lonely maiden

Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, pretty little miss
Goin' back to Harlan

"Prisoner's Tears"

"Prisoner's Tears"


A prisoner cries in the dark of his cell
He knows the price of livin' in hell
Nobody sees, nobody hears
But nothin' falls as hard as a prisoner's tears

I've never been locked behind walls of stone
But I've been a prisoner deep down in my bones
No judge and no jury but the sentence is clear
And nothin' falls as hard as a prisoner's tears

Counting the days, wonderin' when
This prisoner's heart will finally mend

Counting the days, wonderin' when
This prisoner's heart will finally mend

They say I'm free now but they can't feel my pain
They don't see my shackles but I'm livin' in chains
Love made the walls, love keeps me here
Well, nothin' falls as hard as a prisoner's tears
Nothin' falls as hard as a prisoner's tears
A prisoner cries in the dark of his cell

"Rise Up Lazarus"

"Rise Up Lazarus"


Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be released

Go forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released

Now Jesus went to Bethany
In answer to an urgent plea
Two sisters fell down at his feet
They began to cry and weep
They lead him to their brother's grave
Jesus knelt to God and prayed

Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be released

Go forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released

Now doubters who would not believe
Spread the word of what they'd seen
Then they began to congregate
First two to four then four to eight
God watched faithful multiply
As they echoed Jesus Cried

Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be released

Go forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released

Now all us children here on Earth
Sometimes doubt worldly worth
But if in Jesus you do trust
You will rise like Lazarus
So if your feelin' down and out
Open up your heart and shout

Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be released

Go forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released

Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released

"Same Kind Of Crazy"

"Same Kind Of Crazy"


Did you ever meet somebody that likes all the same things you do
Somebody who can make you or break you anytime they want to
I met him at a red light, love at first sight, can it be true
He's good for me and he told me I was good for him, too

Now, I don't want to jump into anything
I've been trying to use some self restraint
But man it's amazing he's the same kind of crazy as me

I have to use a ladder 'cause I keep climbing down just to kiss him
If he's out of my sight for a minute or two I start to miss him
We stay all tangled up in each others arms and it's so nice
He talks in his sleep, but he always gets my name right

If there's anything at all that's wrong with him
It's something I just can't see
Ain't no doubt about it he's the same kind of crazy as me

Wild, wild nights, chasin' each other through the moonlight
My, my , my, I finally got something just right
'Cause every little off-beat move that he makes suits me to a tee
You know what I'm sayin', he's the same kind of crazy as me

Oh, wild, wild nights, chasin' each other through the moonlight
My, my, my, I finally got something just right
'Cause every little off-beat move that he makes suits me to a tee
You know what I'm sayin', he's the same kind of crazy as me

Know what I'm sayin', he's the same kind of crazy as me
You know what I'm sayin', he's the same kind of crazy as me

"Santa Train"

"Santa Train"


It's Christmas time and I can't wait
Mama hurry don't be late
Let's go down to the railroad tracks
Santa Train is coming back

Hoo Hoo Here it Comes

Loaded down with Christmas Cheer
Pulling out of Dungannon
Look out Kingsport Here it Comes

Hoo Hoo Get on Board

Hoo Hoo Sandy Ridge
Hoo Hoo Copper Creek
Hoo Hoo Cady Junction
Hoo Hoo Bart Lick
Hoo Haysi
Hoo Clickety Clack
Hoo Boulder Bluff
Hoo Santas Back

"She Drew A Broken Heart"

"She Drew A Broken Heart"


You should have seen it coming
Now it's too late
She bought the half-price ticket on the midnight train
You wouldn't understand 'cause you lie and cheat
So she wrote it out in lipstick on your satin sheets

She drew a broken heart
She drew a broken heart
Torn right down the middle in a red jagged line
She drew a broken heart and put your name inside

She had to draw you a picture to make it sink in
Revlon Rose was her poison pin
For God's gift to women you ain't got a clue
That red broken heart belongs to you

She drew a broken heart
She drew a broken heart
It ain't no Cupid's Arrow, it ain't no Valentine
She drew a broken heart and put your name inside

No lovesick word's gonna bring her back
The buck stops here, buddy, that's a fact
No matter who's right, no matter who's wrong
Anyway you cut it, she's gone

She drew a broken heart
She drew a broken heart
Torn right down the middle in a red jagged line
She drew a broken heart and put your name inside

"She Never Stopped Loving Him"

"She Never Stopped Loving Him"


She used to sit and stare and dream that he was there
But she quit that
She made up her mind that someday she'd be fine
And she meant that
And she stopped drivin' by their old place
Now it's not that she don't know the way
She just stopped
Cause she had all she could take
But she never stopped lovin' him

There's a place deep in her soul, a place she'll always hold
Only for him
Still, she gets down on her knees
And prays that she won't be
Lonely for him
And she stopped, no matter how hard she tried
She never stopped lovin' him

All the time they were together
He was all she ever needed in this world but still somehow
There were things she didn't tell him
She's gonna tell him now

The leaves are off the trees
And the snow is awfully deep for December
She walks right up to him, she can't quite find the words
But they're in there
So she stops and says "Since you've been gone
I have thought how life must go on"
Then she topped and placed a rose on his stone
Then left him alone
But she never stopped lovin' him

"Ships"

"Ships"


Eddie had a few days comin'
So he took a Las Vegas jaunt
Out to the land of supply and demand
Where you can get anything you want
He wasn't lookin' for true love
No, he didn't believe in that stuff
Eddie LeGrande was a hard workin' man
Who just needed a little good luck

His shoes were a little worn
His hair was a little thin
Just another old sailor
Waitin' on his ship to come in

Lily was a two time loser
Who said that love was just a roll of the dice
She acted real tough, said once ain't enough
For me I learned my lesson twice
But deep in her heart lived a young girl
Dreamin' a young girl's dream
And that young girl was who Eddie ran into
Over by the slot machines

Her face was a little pale
Her dress was a little thin
Oh but lookin' at her was like
Watchin' his ship come in

Well, he bought her a cup of coffee
With the quarters he meant to play
They went for a bite and they talked all night
'Til they said what they needed to say
Then they found 'em an all night chapel
With a heart shaped honeymoon suite
And somewhere tonight in the neon light
Two hearts can't be beat

And he's singin' a little song
She's grinnin' a little grin
And they're holdin' each other
Watchin' their ship to come in
Her face was a little pale
His hair was a little thin
But they're two young lovers
Watchin' their ship to come in
Just holdin' each other
Watchin' their ship to come in

"Silent Night"

"Silent Night"


Silent night, Holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,
'Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, Holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, Holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
