"Baby Me Baby"

"Baby Me Baby"


Well I'm stacking up shirts and things
Packin' up and fixin' to go
For some little reason that I can't remember
And this leavin' is grievin' me so
But just one little kiss
Could put all this leavin' behind
Yeah,baby me,baby
And maybe I might change my mind
Baby me baby
Everyday
Baby me baby
And make all my blues go away
Baby me baby
Everyday
Baby me baby
And I'll baby you the same way
Sometimes the times are good times
And sometimes the times
Are not quite good as the good times should be
And that's when leavin' starts to enter my mind
But just one word from you
And I'd put all my suitcases down
Yeah, baby me, baby
And maybe I might stick around
Baby me baby
Everyday
Baby me baby
And make all my blues go away
Baby me baby
Everyday
Baby me baby
And I'll baby you the same way

"Big Harlan Taylor"

"Big Harlan Taylor"


I once had a sweetheart the fairest of maidens
She outshined all others that I'd known by far
I had me a friend named Big Harlan Taylor
Harlan had a rubber tied new shiny car
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman
If I figured them all up it could take many years

By the wants of a woman she fell for Big Harlan
I tried but in vain for to take my own life
Suddenly I had lost all my will to keep living
She'd lost her desire to become my young wife
All the ways of the world...

Well I wanted revenge and we laid for Big Harlan
Then I started wondering what good would it do
If a rubber tied new shiny car's her ambition
And I just let her hat and Big Harlan too
All the ways of the world...
If I figured them all up it could take many years

"Billy Bayou"

"Billy Bayou"


Back about eighteen hundred and some a Louisiana couple had a red headed son
No name suited him Jim Jack or Joe so they just called him Billy Bayou
Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go you're walkin' on quick sand and walk slow
Billy Billy Bayou watch what you say a pretty girl'll get you one of these days

Now Billy was a boy kinda big for a size red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
Thirteen years from the day he was born Bill fought the battle of the Little Big Horn
Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go...

Now one sad day Billy cried ho-ho I can whip the feathers of Geronimo
He smarted off the chief got mad this like ended our Louisiana lad
Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go...

One day in 1878 a pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to stand there and run
He wound up married cause he did neighter one
Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go...

"Boeing Boeing 707"

"Boeing Boeing 707"


Overcharge for excess baggage know your concourse know your gate
Up this way sir not that way sir airplane departs gate six eight
Please sir may I see your ticket fasten your seat belt you can't smoke
Beverage anything you'd care for sorry but we're out of coke
Boeing Boeing 707 going going skywardly heavenly
Higher than bluebirds fly why then oh why can't I

Destination de-plane slowly do this do that l comply
God bless Orville God bless Wilbur it's the only way to fly
Boeing Boeing 707...
Boeing Boeing 707...
Pom pom pom Boeing Boeing Boeing Boeing

"Burma Shave"

"Burma Shave"


Way down yonder by the forks of the branch
The old sow whistled and the little pigs danced
Burma Shave Burma Burma Burma Shave
I bet I've seen a million rows of them little red poetic signs up and down the line
Come on come on one more time

Yonder goes Willie he's passin' on a hill he don't dress nice but he drives fit to kill
Burma Shave...

Well my pappy ain't smart he ain't good at quizzin'
But one thing he knows is how to keep mama his'n
Burma Shave...

Roses are red and violets are blue you chase me and so will I
Burma Shave...

"Burning Bridges"

"Burning Bridges"


Found some letters
You wrote me this mornin'
They told of a love
We once knew
Now they're gone
I burned them to ashes
Don't want nothin'
To remind me of you

Burnin' bridges behind me
It's too late
To tur-urn back now
Burnin' bridges behind me
All I want
Is to forget you somehow

Sold the house
We once planned together
Said goodbye
To the friends we once knew
And I moved
To a far away city
Tryin' hard
To forget about you

Burnin' bridges behind me
It's too late
To tur-urn back now
Burnin' bridges behind me
All I want
Is to forget you somehow
All I want
Is to forget you somehow

"But I Love You More"

"But I Love You More"


I love the smell of clover when
The winter's over yes I do yes I do but I love you more

I love the kind of love someone
Can hum the day long yes I do yes I do but I love you more
Things like birds that sing flowers that bloom and falling rain
Things to love and cherish what without a love I'd catch
I love the smell...
(I love you I love you I love you)
I love the smell...

"By The Time I Get To Phoenix"

"By The Time I Get To Phoenix"


By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lounch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing off the wall that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

"Can't Stop Loving You"

"Can't Stop Loving You"


Well I tried my best but that ain't enough
I'm tryin' to forget you and it's gettin' mighty tough
The blues just follow me around the whole day through

No matter where i go honey I still find
You're right there bearin' on my mind
I've tried so hard but I can't stop loving you

I can't forget about the many good times, we used to have
You and I
I think about how you found somebody new, and ever since I just
Sit and cry

Somebody tell me what am i gonna do
Feelin' like this I can't live my life through
I've tried so hard but I can't stop loving you

I can't forget about the many good times, we used to have
You and I
I think about how you found somebody new, and ever since I just
Sit and cry
