"Lonesome Night"

"Lonesome Night"

On a lonesome night, I'm far from home
I heard a mournful sound
The girl I love is calling me
She thinks I've turned her down

In the pale moonlight we quarreled one night
Our heart's were young and free
I left her there alone that night
I thought she was two timing m&101

On a lonesome night, I'm far from home
I heard a mournful sound
The girl I love is calling me
She thinks I've turned her down

She begged me not to leave her there
She said that she'd been true
But a jealous heart could not believe
Oh, how I long for you

On a lonesome night, I'm far from home
I heard a mournful sound
The girl I love is calling me
She thinks I've turned her down

She thinks I've turned her down

"Lonesome River"

"Lonesome River"

I sit here alone on the banks of the river
The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high
I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness
I sit here alone too lonesome to cry.

Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight
I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry
The woman I love she left me this morning
With no one to love or kiss me goodnight.

We met there one night by the banks of the river
Sat there holding hands and making our vows
Swore we'd never part and be happy together
But a new love she's found she's gone from me now...

"Lord She Sure Is Good At Lovin' Me"

"Lord She Sure Is Good At Lovin' Me"

Lord, she sure is good at lovin' me.

Lord, I know I prayed you'd take away the loneliness I knew
My wildest dreams could not conceive the works your hands can do
It feels so good to fall asleep in her arms every night
Leave it up to you to do things right.

Lord, she sure is good at lovin' me
I know you had a hand in this cause it's so plain to see
That I've been blessed with the very best that love will ever be
Lord, she sure is good at lovin' me.

I know that I could never find a way to repay
The gift of love you gave to me by sending her my way
And the very best that I could do is less than you should ask
But I'll do the best I can to make love last.

Lord, she sure is good at lovin' me
I know you had a hand in this cause it's so plain to see
That I've been blessed with the very best that love will ever be
Lord, she sure is good at lovin' me.

Lord, she sure is good at lovin' me...

"Lost To A Stranger"

"Lost To A Stranger"

We went out one evenin', my darlin' and I.
She seemed so different and I wondered why.
We stopped at a tavern and there I could see.
That she loved another one better than me.

The band was playin' an old fashioned waltz.
The dance floor was crowded and I wasn't long,
When up stepped a stranger, I never had seen.
He asked my darlin', "Will you dance with me?"

While they were dancin', I sat alone.
I knew I had lost her, the one I loved.
Lost to a stranger I never had seen.
The waltz they were playin' had ended my dream.

While they were dancin', I sat alone.
I knew I had lost her, the one I loved.
Lost to a stranger I never had seen.
The waltz they were playin' had ended my dream...

"Love Can't Ever Get Better Than This"

"Love Can't Ever Get Better Than This"

Lookin' at you I can see what I missed
Love can't ever get better than this
I never knew there was so much in a kiss
Love can't ever get better than this
I knew this ol' world like the back of my hand
I'd known a lot of boys but I never knew a man
You were somethin' darlin I just couldn't resist
Oh love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
You took a country boy and gave his life a new twist
Love can't ever get better than this
I'm tellin' everyone you're at the top of my list
Love can't ever get better than this
I made a lot of money but it didn't buy me dreams
Thought that I was rich but I was only in between
You were somethin' darling I just couldn't resist
Oh love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
Lookin' at you I can see what I missed
Love can't ever get better than this
I'm a tellin' everyone you're at the top of my list
Love can't ever get better than this
I made a lot of money but it didn't buy me dreams
Thought that I was rich but I was only in between
You were somethin' darling I just couldn't resist
Oh love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get love can't ever get
Love can't ever get better than this

"Love's Gonna Get You Someday"

"Love's Gonna Get You Someday"

I won't need you to want me just the way I wanted you.
And I feel pretty foolish when you've found somebody new.
I think it's fair to warn you, girl, you can't treat love that way.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday,
And pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace.
When you least expect it, love will put you in your place.
Love's gonna get you someday.

I know mine's not the first love to be put up on the shelf.
In fact it's not the first one you put up there yourself.
I'm only sorry I won't be around to see your face.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday,
Pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace.
When you least expect it, love will put you in your place.
Love's gonna get you someday.

When I think of all the hearts that I could find to hurt.
I guess it's only fair now that the tables have been turned.
Speaking from experience, I think it's safe to say.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday,
An' pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace.
When you least expect it, love will put you in your place.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday,
An' pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace.
When you least expect it, love will put you in your place.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday...

"Lovin' Only Me"

"Lovin' Only Me"

They say you're cold as ice
I don't believe them
Up goes my temperature when I'm next to you
They say you won't look twice
I don't believe them
I think I feel something cookin'
Baby, how 'bout you

Someday you'll see it's gonna be
No one for you, only me
Sometime, sweet destiny
Will open up your heart
And that's when I'm gonna be around just you wait and see
No more lonely you, when you're lovin' only me

Just give me your heart
I'll never break it
I could never hurt someone as wonderful as you
I'm offering you my love
You don't have to take it
But I wouldn't pass me by
'Cause I know what's good for you

Someday you'll see it's gonna be
No one for you, only me
Sometime, sweet destiny
Will open up your heart
And that's when I'm gonna be around just you wait and see
No more lonely you, when you're lovin' only me

Someday you'll see it's gonna be
No one for you, only me
Sometime, sweet destiny
Will open up your heart
And that's when I'm gonna be around just you wait and see
No more lonely you, when you're lovin' only me

And that's when I'm gonna be around just you wait and see
No more lonely you, when you're lovin' only me

"Low And Lonely"

"Low And Lonely"

Low and lonely, sad and blue
Thinking only, of little you
Always trying, to keep from crying
I'm low and lonely over you.

Do you miss me, say you do
Tell me darling, please tell me true
Do you yearn dear, for my return dear
I'm low and lonely over you.

Low and lonely, weary too
You're the only, true love I knew
Don't be long dear, you know it's wrong dear
I'm low and lonely over you.

You're my darling, you're my dear
You can trust me, so never fear
How I miss you, I long to kiss you
I'm low and lonely over you...

"Mansions For Me"

"Mansions For Me"

There's folks building homes as sweet as can be
They're levelling their yards and planting their trees
But my little hut I'll just let it be
Lord Jesus is building a mansion for me.

A mansion for me (a mansion for me)
A mansion for me (a mansion for me)
Built by my Lord beyond Calvary
But my little hut I'll just let it be
Lord Jesus is building a mansion for me.

Each day I am getting more ready to go
He's cleansing my sins more whiter than snow
I'm packing my troubles I'm bound with his love
Get ready to move to Heaven above.

To you who have homes in this world below
Driving fine cars wherever you go
There's coming a time when we'll all pass away
Get ready to move with me on that day...

"Memories Of Mother"

"Memories Of Mother"

On a dark stormy night the angels called mother
The love that we shred for such a short while
She called us around and told us she's leaving
Then closing her eyes she went with a smile.

Mother's at rest in a lonesome old graveyard
On a hill far away there stands her white tomb
With the grass covered o'er it seems so neglected
When the spring season comes sweet flowers will bloom.

I'll never forget the love mother gave us
As children we played around our old home
I know her reward is a mansion in heaven
While children on earth are scattered and gone...
