"My Bucket's Got A Hole In It"

"My Bucket's Got A Hole In It"



Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, I went upon a mountain
I looked down in the sea
I seen the crowds and the fishes
Doing the be bop beep

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, I'm standing on the corner
With a bucket in my hand
I'm a waitin' for a woman
That ain't got no man

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, me and my baby
We bought a Ford
And now we sit together
On the running board

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

"My Old Flame"

"My Old Flame"



My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame

My old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
'Cause I haven't met a girl
So magnificent or elegant
As my old flame

I've met so many who had fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Some who took me up to the sky's
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of

My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame

My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame
My old flame

"My Rifle, My Pony And Me"
(feat. Dean Martin)

"My Rifle, My Pony And Me"
(feat. Dean Martin)



Sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in the nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream

Purple light in the canyon
That is where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, my pony and me

Gonna hang my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Coming home sweet my darling
Just my rifle, my pony and me

Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
Just my rifle, my pony and me

No more cows to be ropin'
No more strays will I see
'round the bend shell be waitin
For my rifle, my pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me

"My Woman"

"My Woman"



I got a woman here, she want's time to live
I got a woman here, she just want's to give
So if you got things on your mind, tell her right away
Give her time, I think you'll find
She'll turn your nighttime into day

La da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da

But if you take her to your heart, move her close to you
And don't tell her any lies, she won't see you through

I got a woman here, tryin' hard to please
She can take you anywhere, anywhere you wanna be
And when you think she isn't there, she'll turn around to you and say
Stay a while, I like your style, you get better everyday

La da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da

"Mystery Train"

"Mystery Train"



Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train
Brought my baby back home

Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
No, not again

Train, train, comin' down, down the line
Train, train, comin' down, down the line
Well it's bringin' my baby
'Cause she's mine all mine

Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
Oh no, not again

Train, train, oh yeah
Well it took my baby
But it never will again

"Never Be Anyone Else But You"

"Never Be Anyone Else But You"



There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldn't be
Anyone else but you

If I could take my pick
Of all the girls I've ever known
Then I'd come and pick you
Out to be my very own

There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldn't be
Anyone else but you

A heart that's true and longs for you
Is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you
As long as I may live

There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldn't be
Anyone else but you

I never will forget the way you kiss me
And when we're not together
I wonder if you've missed me

'Cause I hope and pray
The day will come
When you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you
How true my love can be

There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldn't be
Anyone else but you

Mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm

"New Delhi Freight Train"

"New Delhi Freight Train"



Now some people are sayin' that I'm crazy
'Cause my real name is just Jesse James
Well I left them half rocked, hard knocked in Black Rock County
Just to ride on that New Delhi train

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my love behind, left my love behind

I'm just a country boy without angels
I'm just a country boy without gold
And I've been to Silver City below the rainbow
Where they say I pillaged and I killed and I stole
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my life behind, left my life behind

Well they say I killed a man named Smiley Dearden
Say I killed him with one of my guns
And I know that I did what I had not ought to
But I went on the run from what I'd done

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my love behind, left my love behind

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my life behind, left my life behind

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my love behind, left my love behind

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my life behind, left my life behind

"Nighttime Lady"

"Nighttime Lady"



Nighttime lady, stay with me tonight
Hold me close girl
'Til we see the morning light
Nighttime lady, hold your head up high
Lay down beside me, it's allright

Nighttime lady, you're my only friend
Reassure me, love me if you can
Nighttime lady, girl I need you so
Take me with you now, before you go

Nighttime lady, honey hair of gold
Warm my body in the cradle of your soul
Nighttime lady, girl I love you so
Take me with you now, before you go

Nighttime lady, artist of the night
Paint your pictures, of faceless beds of white
Nighttime lady, sad eyed girl of mine
When the morning comes, we'll let it shine
