"Baby Girl"

"Baby Girl"



Little girl, (little girl) baby girl
She's my darling, little precious baby girl
Like an angel to me and I know that he
Sent from Heaven my little baby girl.

She's as sweet as the flowers of springtime
Her blue eyes they sparkle so bright
Just a touch of her little baby hand
Seems to guide my weary footsteps day and night.

How those two little arms try to hold me
Her little heart's a blessing to our home
And at night when I'm far far away
As dream of her I'm never all alone

"Baby I'm In Love With You"

"Baby I'm In Love With You"



Baby, I'm in love with you drownin' in your eyes so blue
Tell me that you love me too I'm just gonna be with you
Come and let me hold you hand till I make you understand
I'm just gonna be your man baby I'm in love with you.

I'm forever building dreams around your pretty head it seems
Do you want to spoil my dreams and say that you'll ever be mine
I would take an ocean trip just again to hear your sweet lips
I would walk a million miles to hear you say you love me too.

I'm forever building dreams around your pretty head it seems
Do you want to spoil my dreams and say that you'll ever be mine
I would take an ocean trip just again to hear your sweet lips
I would walk a million miles to hear you say you love me too.

I'll be yours for evermore baby I'm in love with you

"Blue Moon Of Kentucky"
(originally by Bill Monroe)



Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

It was on a moonlight night the stars were shining bright
When they whispered from on high your love has said good-bye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and said good-bye...

"Blue Night"
(originally by Bill Monroe)

"Blue Night"
(originally by Bill Monroe)



Blue night I got you on my mind
Blue night I can't keep from crying
You met someone that was new
You quit someone that you knew was true
Blue night I got you on my mind.

Blue night blue as I can be
I don't know what'll become of me
Where we used to walk I walk alone
With an aching heart because my love is gone
Blue night blue as I can be.

Blue night 'cause I'm all alone
I used to call you on the telephone
I used to call and it made you glad
Now I call and it makes you mad
Blue night 'cause I'm all alone.

Blue night all by myself
Since you put me on that shelf
There's just one thing that you must know
You're gonna reap just what you sow
Blue night, all by myself.

Blue night, all by myself...

"Brand New Me"

"Brand New Me"



You took my broken heart put the pieces back in place
Took my two empty arms and fill the space with your embrace
Then you dried away the tears and put a twinkle in their place
Then you gently hung a smile upon my face.

You polished up my songs made the reasons for my rhymes
Repainted every color in those faded dreams of mine
And you swept out all the ashes and you built a burnin' fire
To give me light and keep me warm at night.

You made a brand new me one like I never see
And when I look into the mirror I still can't believe
The way you finished me you made me so complete
From the mess I used to be you made a brand new me.

You found the love I lost somewhere deep inside my soul
In prison by the darkness left to die out in the cold
But with tender words of promise you relit the light of hope
Now I have the time for all the world to know.

You made a brand new me one like I never see
And when I look into the mirror I still can't believe
The way you finished me you made me so complete
From the mess I used to be you made a brand new me.

From the mess I used to be you made a brand new me...

"Branded Wherever I Go"

"Branded Wherever I Go"



I received the letter you wrote, dear
In which you said you'd wait for me
I'm asking you to please not wait, dear
It will only ruin your life I see

Please don't wait for me, darling
We could never be happy I know
I'll always be an ex convict
And branded wherever I go

In three years my sentence is over
Them gates will swing wide for me
The warden will say I'm a free man
But my name will never be free

Please don't wait for me, darling
We could never be happy I know
I'll always be an ex convict
And branded wherever I go

May God bless you for your kindness
You've stuck with me through thick and thin
I love you too much to disgrace you
In closing God bless you again

Please don't wait for me, darling
We could never be happy I know
I'll always be an ex convict
And branded wherever I go

"Bury Me Beneath The Weeping Willow Tree"

"Bury Me Beneath The Weeping Willow Tree"



Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me.

My heart is sad I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see her oh no never
'Til we meet in heaven above.

She told me that she dearly loved me
How could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
She will prove untrue to you.

Tomorrow was to be our wedding
God oh God where can she be
She's out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me...

"Cajun Moon"

"Cajun Moon"



The moon is full and my heart is why
I love to dance oh me, oh my
Gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon
Tonight's the dance of the cajun noon.

Cajun moon nugget of gold
River of light on the bayou
You're just like rain
To a love in bloom so
Shine on me oh, cajun moon.

Pick ups and wagons 'round the river road shack
Bonfires draw in a crowd out back
Step through the door and I see my Sheri
That's when I see her mamas eyes on me.

Cajun moon nugget of gold
River of light on the bayou
You're just like rain
To a love in bloom so
Shine on me oh, cajun moon.

Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle, a bow
Little band a-playin' every song they know
Old woman sittin' there and yellin' for more
My heart is willin', but my feet - they're so sore!

Cajun moon nugget of gold
River of light on the bayou
You're just like rain
To a love in bloom so
Shine on me oh, cajun moon.

Once more we're waltzin' to Jolie Blond
I lean in closer and Sheri responds
Her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room
To sit and stare at the cajun noon.

Cajun moon nugget of gold
River of light on the bayou
You're just like rain
To a love in bloom so
Shine on me oh, cajun moon...

"Callin' Your Name"

"Callin' Your Name"



Well, I'm callin' callin' callin' your name
I don't believe I'm gettin' through I think it's all in vain
Because you're fallin' fallin' fallin' out of love
It seems the best that I can do is never good enough.

Once I meant the world to you or was it just an act
If you loved me like you used to you couldn't turn your back
And leave me leave me taking the blame
Callin', callin', calin' your name.

Now I'm holdin', holdin', barely holdin' on
It's just about all I can do while sittin' here alone
To keep from callin' callin' callin' your name
Callin', callin', callin' your name.

Once I meant the world to you or was it just an act
If you loved me like you used to you couldn't turn your back
And leave me leave me taking the blame
Callin', callin', calin' your name.

Callin', callin', calin' your name.
Callin', callin', calin' your name...

"Can't Control The Wind"

"Can't Control The Wind"



When I was a boy daddy was my guiding light
We'd take walks and talk about fishing girls and life
He'd help me with my homework cheer me up when I was down
Best friend that I ever had I miss havin' him around
He'd say do the very best you can with all that you've been blessed
And if the load's too great for you the Lord will do the rest
Keep one thing in mind if all else should fail
You can't control the wind but you can adjust the sail
Daddy lost his job when the factory closed
Times were hard bills to pay he was troubled and it showed
But he said son don't worry it's all to no avail
We can't control the wind but we can adjust the sail
I think of his advice when life turns its back on me
There is no mountain I can't climb if I start down on my knees
I'll do the very best I can with all that I've been blessed
And if the load's too great for me the Lord will do the rest
I'll keep one thing in mind if all else should fail
I can't control the wind but I can adjust the sail
No I can't control the wind but I can adjust the sail
