"Blame It On Your Heart"

"Blame It On Your Heart"


You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby
'Cause I ain't taking it no more and I don't mean maybe
You don't know right from wrong
Well the love we had is gone
So blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Well all I wanted was to be your one and only
And all I ever got from you was being lonely
Now that dream is laid to rest
'Cause you have failed the test
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you're never gonna find another love like mine
Someone's gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she'll do you, it ain't funny
You need some sympathy
But don't be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you're never gonna find another love like mine
Someone's gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she'll do you, it ain't funny
You need some sympathy
But don't be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating, two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

"Blue Is Not A Word"

"Blue Is Not A Word"


Never once in my life
I met someone like you
I don't know what the words
Could mean, so long as I'm with you
You fill me so completely
In everything you do
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you

Most of the time
In my past
Blue is all I knew
But now that we're together
Oh how I love you

I'm so glad I found you
You made my dreams come true
Blue is not a word
As long as I'm with you

Most of the time
In my past
Blue is all I knew
But now that we're together
Oh how I love you

I'm so glad I found you
You made my dreams come true
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you

Blue is not a word at all
So long as I'm with you

"Blue Memories"

"Blue Memories"


When I close my eyes
I almost see
The way you look
When you were standing next to me
And I still feel you holdin' me tight
Oh I can hear the laughter
And all the words you whispered in the night

Picture this and paint it blue
A photograph of me and you
Smile has faded with the years
Washed away by all the tears
And when I look
All I see are blue memories

Oh how I remember the time
There was love in your heart
And that love was mine
If I could turn it all 'round again
We'd be lying side by side
And things would be the way
They were back then

Picture this and paint it blue
A photograph of me and you
Smile has faded with the years
Washed away by all the tears
And when I look
All I see are blue memories

Picture this and paint it blue
A photograph of me and you
Smile has faded with the years
Washed away by all the tears
And when I look
All I see are blue memories
Blue memories
Blue memories

"Blue Side Of Town"

"Blue Side Of Town"


Rain on my window
Tears in my eyes
Why must I always
Be the one that's left with pride
You say it's over
You don't want me around
Well I'm leavin' you baby
For the blue side of town

Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams
On the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel
Yes I know it well
I hang around
Blue side of town

You think I'm lonely
Well that's for sure
But don't worry baby
I've been there before
And if you need me
Well, I can be found
Hiding my heartache
On the blue side of town

Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams
On the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel
Yes I know it well
I hang around
Blue side of town

My hearts forsaken
You've been untrue
It hurts me baby
But I know just what to do
I'll pack my suitcase
And I'll see you around
Take all my troubles
To the blue side of town

Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams
On the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel
Yes I know it well
I hang around
Blue side of town
I hang around
Blue side of town

"Bluegrass, White Snow"

"Bluegrass, White Snow"


Back Up In The Hills
Theres A Christmas Long Ago
Friends And Family Gather Round
The Ol Pot Belly Stove
And I Was Freezin Cold
From A Heavy Snow Back Then
I Warmed My Heart With Ol Time Songs
And Danced The Night Away

Bluegrass White Snow
Memories An An Ol Banjo
Get Your Fiddle Out
Have A Look At That Bow
Bluegrass White Snow

When My Backend Was Broke
No One Seemed To Care
All The Hard Times Melted
As The Music Filled The Air
When My Skies Are Gray
And The Snow Falls To The Ground
I Recalled That Christmas Night
All Those Joys Broke Down

Bluegrass White Snow
Memories And An Ol Banjo
Get your Fiddle Out
Have A Look At That Bow
Bluegrass White Snow

"Born-Again Fool"

"Born-Again Fool"


He sits on a park bench and stares into space.
Thinking of his bright future that has now been erased.
He once loved a woman whose love wasn't true.
Now all that remains is a born-again fool.

Mistakes, he's made many in his passage of life.
She was the first wrong he couldn't make right.
She left him no reason. She left no excuse.
All she left was the shell of a born-again fool.

Believing that her love would be his salvation
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation.
Another falsado. Another heart torn in two
Oh there's no one as lost as a born-again fool.

Well he gave all she asked for. She took all he had.
She made him her puppet with no strings attached.
He did all she wanted but he never knew,
She was only creating a born-again fool.

Believing that her love would be his salvation.
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation.
Another falsado. Another heart torn in two.
Oh there's no one as lost as a born-again fool.

He sits on a park bench still wondering why,
As the whole world unnoticing passes him by
Such a forlorn conclusion that his life led him to.
Betrayed and decieved he's a born-again fool.

"Bramble And The Rose"

"Bramble And The Rose"


We've been so close together
Each a candle, each a flame
All the dangers were outside us
And we knew them all by name
Now see how the bramble and the rose intertwines
Now love grows like the bramble and the rose
Often cruel, often kind

Now, I've hurt you and it hurts me
Just to see what we can do
To ourselves and to each other
Without really meaning to
Now see how the bramble and the rose intertwines
Now love grows like the bramble and the rose
'Round each other they will wind

So put your arms around me
Yes, and sing a true love song
One that we can sing together
That will last the whole night long
So see how the bramble and the rose intertwines
Love grows like the bramble and the rose
'Round each other we will wind
Now love grows like the bramble and the rose

"Busted"

"Busted"


Well, the bills are all due and the babies needs shoes, we're busted
We've had a hard time since they closed down the mines, we're busted
Got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day
Tomorrow they'll haul our belongings away, we're busted

Well, our friends are all leavin' this ol' mining town, we're busted
They're headin' up north where there's work to be found and trusted
Lord, I hate to give up this acre of land
It's been in the family since minin' began
But babies get hungry, they don't understand we're busted
We're busted, yes, we're busted
We're headin' up north and we ain't coming back, we're busted

I called brother John, thought I'd ask for a loan, we was busted
Lord, I had to beg like a dog for a bone, but we're busted
Brother John lost his job and his rent's overdue
His wife and his kids are all down with the flu
He said, "I was thinkin' of callin' on you, I'm busted"

Lord no, my old man's no thief, but a good man turns bad when he's busted
My babies ain't well and it's drivin' me mad 'cause we're busted
Gonna sell that ol' Guernsey and give up this shack
Come on now children, help mama get packed
We're headin' up north and we ain't comin' back, we're busted
We're busted, yes we're busted
We're headin' up north and we ain't coming back, we're busted

"Can't Get Enough"

"Can't Get Enough"


Wake up in the morning, start the coffee boiling.
I can't get enough.
Throw the curtains open, let the sun shine in.
I can't get enough.
Well, I work real hard for every penny I make. Just trying to get the job done.
At the end of the day I'm overworked and underpaid.
I can't get enough.

When the week is done I like to have some fun. I can't get enough.
You can find me hanging out where the music's turned loud.
I can't get enough.
Yeah I'm lookin' for a guy who can light up my night.
It don't even have to be love.
A little huggin' and kissin', I'm a girl on a mission.
Can't get enough.

We only get one time around.
You better get it while you can.
If you let this old world go and get you down life will slip right through your hands.

So bring on the laughter and bring on the tears.
I can't get enough.
It's a race against time.
Just want to live 'til I die.
I can't get enough.
Yeah I'm going to take my turn.
Gonna love, gonna learn.
Until my numbers up.
But for now I gotta run.
The parties just begun.
I can't get enough.

We only get one time around.
You better get it while you can.
If you let this old world go and get you down life will slip right through your hands.
Life will slip right through your hands.
Oh I can't get enough.
No no I can't get enough.
Oh I can't... get enough

"Can't Stop Myself From Loving You"

"Can't Stop Myself From Loving You"


Raindrops fall from the sky
Teardrops fall from my eyes
Can't stop myself from loving you
Your heartaches found a home
I walk these streets alone
Can't stop myself from loving you

I know I shouldn't waste my time
In dreams of yesterday
But your memory's all that
I have left
Since you've gone away
No matter what I do
My heart stays cold and blue
Can't stop myself from loving you

They say that time
Can heal a lonely heart
That's broke in two
But time ran out on me the day
You walked out of my world

So let the teardrops fall
The rain will hide them all
Can't stop myself from loving you
Can't stop myself from loving you
