"Hat"

"Hat"


Hey kid where'd you get the lid
Where'd you get a lid like that
If I told you why would you tell me where
I could find a hat like that

Hey old chap where'd you get the cap
Where'd you get a cap like that
If I told you why would you tell me where
I could find a hat like that

Oh a hat is a hat
A topper is a topper and you can't top that
So if you got the bread I say
Why not spend it on something for your head

Hey Herby where'd you get the derby
Where'd you get a hat like that
If I told you why would you tell me where
I could find a hat like that

Oh a hat is a hat
A topper is a topper and you can't top that
So if you got the bread I say
Why not spend it on something for your head

Hey Miss let me ask you this
Where'd you get a hat like that
If I told you why would you tell me where
I could find a hat like that

"Heartaches By The Number"

"Heartaches By The Number"


Heartache number one
Was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two
Was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Heartache number three
Was when you called me
And said that you were coming ba-ack to stay
With hopeful heart I waited
For your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Yes, the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

"Heartbreak Hotel"
(originally by Elvis Presley)



Since my baby left me I've found new place to dwell
Stand at the end on Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel
Well I get so lonely baby I get so lonely I get so lonely I could die

And though it's always crowded you still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry away there in the gloom
Well I get so lonely I get so lonely I get so lonely I could die

Yeah the bellhop's tears keep flowing the deskclerk's dressed in black
They've been so long on Lonely Street they ain't never gonna come back
Well I get so lonely I get so lonely I get so lonely I could die
One more since my baby left me...

"Hey Little Star"

"Hey Little Star"


Hey hey little star I don't know how far away you are
But tell me how does it feel to stand that close to heaven
Hey little star see the tears that I've cried here count 'em
Said she'd be here at eight it's almost 'leven
See this broken heart of mine can this broken heart of mine
Teach me how to live without her how to forget all about her
Hey little star there you are close to heaven lucky you lonely me little star
See this broken heart of mine...

"Hey Would You Hold It Down"

"Hey Would You Hold It Down"


Well my brother-in-law and my sister Sue
Live in a house and I live there too
I lock my doors and get down at night
They get drunk and fight
I sing hey would you hold it down
Some of us are trying to be happy
Some of us are trying to be happy
So hey would you hold it down

Neighbour couple two doors down the street
He's all right and she's real sweet
I lock my doors and get down at night
They get drunk and fight
I sing hey would you hold it down
Some of us are trying to be happy
Some of us are trying to be happy
So hey would you hold it down

Presidents and ambassadors
Have the power to start and stop the wars
I lock my doos and get down at night
They get drunk and we all have to fight
I sing hey would you hold it down
Some of us are trying to be happy
Some of us are trying to be happy
So hey would you hold it down

Hey won't you hold it down
Hey won't you hold it down
Hey won't you hold it down

"Hitch-Hiker"

"Hitch-Hiker"


Hitch hiker! Hitch hiker!
Like a restless tiger you can't stand still
And you never will

Here I stand and the cars go by
Some of them honk - and some just wave Hi
It seems like life and the cars both just pass me by

Hitch Hiker

No special place to be going
I just go whichever way the winds blowin'
You know it's hot today
I'd kinda like to go where it's snowin'
Ahh I dunno maybe i'll just stay here
where the green grass is growin'

Here comes another car.. I wonder
Is he slowing down
Hitch Hiker

Hitch hiker! Hitch hiker!
like a restless tiger you can't stand still
And you never will

I guess boys all dream and so did I
My hands once reached to touch the sky
Is this the sky that I reached for
Just the dust of the road and nothin' more

Here comes another car
Hitch Hiker

Hitch hiker! Hitch hiker!
Like a restless tiger you can't stand still
And you never will

"Home"

"Home"


I've been a traveler most of my life I never took a home I never took a wife
Ran away young and decided to roam
But now I'd likea see my mama and my papa back home
Well a home where the river runs cold the water tastes good the winters ain't cold
A home where trees grow tall the homefires burn the whippoorwills call

Well I remember stories that my pappy used to tell
Yeah my eyes would get big my chest just a swell
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me
Well a home where the river runs cold...

Now mama dear mama do you still love your boy
After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy
Mom you sent a letter got it not long ago
And you said to come home cause you're missin' me so
Well a home where the river runs cold...

"Honey"
(originally by Bobby Goldsboro)



See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig
Then first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy kept me up all Christmas night two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' over some sad and silly late late show
And honey I miss you and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you if only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing she went away
And honey I miss you and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you if only I could
One day when I wasn't home when she was there and all alone the angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey and I wake up nights and call her name
Yes now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey played and love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower bed that honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig

"Husbands And Wives"

"Husbands And Wives"


Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste such a waste (of) two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause and the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man a man and a woman some can and some can't and some can't

Two broken hearts lonely looking like...
