"Blue Christmas"

"Blue Christmas"


I'll have a blue
Christmas without you
And I'll be so blue
Just thinking about you.
Decorations of red
On a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing dear
If you're not here with me.

Then when the Blue
Snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue
Memories are calling
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

Decorations of red

Won't mean a thing dear,
If you're not here with me.

That's when those blue
Memories are calling
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas...

"Bobbie Sue"

"Bobbie Sue"


I heard about her from a friend of mine
He said she lived across the county line
The sweetest grape that ever grew on the vine
And now that's where I'm spending all my time.

Her daddy Robert and her mama Ruth
They had a daughter they named Bobbie Sue
And now she's eighteen and she knows the truth
Nobody's gonna tell her what to do.

Bo-Bo, Bo-Bo, Bobbie Sue
Ca-can't you see my love is true?
I want to ma-ma, ma-ma, marry you
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo- Bobbie Sue.

I'll take her riding on a Friday night
Straight down the highway in the clear moonlight
My Chevy’s humming and she holds me tight
We'll find a preacher and we'll do it right.

Her daddy told her that she'd have to wait
Her mama said, "don't make a big mistake"
But we'll keep driving till we're out of state
And when they find us it'll be too late.

Bo-Bo, Bo-Bo, Bobbie Sue
Ca-can't you see my love is true?
I want to ma-ma, ma-ma, marry you
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo- Bobbie Sue.

Bo-Bo, Bo-Bo, Bobbie Sue
Ca-can't you see my love is true?
I want to ma-ma, ma-ma, marry you
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo- Bobbie Sue.

Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob Bobbie Sue

Bo-Bo, Bo-Bo, Bobbie Sue

B…..o…….b…...b…..y Sue [fading]

"Break My Mind"

"Break My Mind"


Baby oh baby
Tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Well let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flying
'Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind

Baby oh baby
Well let me take your suitcase off of that scale in time
Just tell the man that you suddenly developed a thing about high flying
'Cause if you say goodbye to me you know you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind

"Bridges And Walls"

"Bridges And Walls"


Some friends you’d cry for
You, I would die for.
and I love you too much
to beg you to stay.
You have your own plans
But it makes my heart sad
Watching my best friend walking away.

Love’s never easy
And who knows what’s fair.
I guess I’m still feeling
What’s no longer there.
When hearts go to pieces
Love crumbles and falls,
Like stones made of memories
From bridges and walls.

Hope tomorrow brings good news
’Cause I’m sure gonna miss you.
If I look away now, please understand
’Cause my eyes refuse to see
Something I can’t believe.
The very best part of me, come to an end.

But love’s never easy
And who knows what’s fair.
I guess I’m still feeling
What’s no longer there.
When hearts go to pieces
Love crumbles and falls
Like stones made of memories
From bridges and walls.

Yer, like stones made of memories
From bridges and walls.

"But I Do"

"But I Do"


I've been so alone without you
I try not to think about you
But I do, I do.
I know that I'm to blame
I've got no right to call your name
But I do, I do.
I sure do feel the pain
And I'd give anything
You know I would
Cause you were so good
And you always could
Give me love.
You sure did make it easy to be loved for a while.
We sure did have it going for a while.
I've been so alone without your touch
Never thought I'd hurt so much
But I do, I do.
I never thought I'd be the kind
To need someone all the time
But I do, I do.
Didn't we have it going?
We sure did have it going for a while.

"Cajun Girl"

"Cajun Girl"


Serious blue eyes so pale and so shy
Look closer cause she’s got that look in her eye.
Red hair that sails on the soft southern breeze
Fingers that fly on accordion keys.

You ain’t seen nothing
Till you’ve seen my Cajun girl.
She’s really something
My sweet singing Cajun girl.

Cook Cajun, speak Creole and lay on the spice
Her fancy so free on these Saturday nights
She sing and she play at the parish hall dance
Big city chanteuses just don’t stand a chance.

You ain’t seen nothing
Till you’ve seen my Cajun girl.
She’s really something
My sweet singing Cajun girl.

You might find my dreams
Just west of New Orleans
If you pulled up that via Saint John
Where the twins fiddles play
And she squeeze on that squeezebox till dawn.
On that they carry on.

Tell long leg Lucille I must send my regrets
It’s nothing she’s done, it’s just someone I’ve met
With innocent heart, true talent so rare
She blooms on the bayou this flower so fair.

You ain’t seen nothing
Till you’ve seen my Cajun girl.
She’s really something
My sweet singing Cajun girl.
You ain’t seen nothing
Till you’ve seen my Cajun girl.

You might find my dreams
Just west of New Orleans
If you pole up that bayou Saint John
Where the twin fiddles play
And she squeeze on that squeezebox till dawn.
All night they carry on.

You ain’t seen nothing
Till you’ve seen my Cajun girl.
She’s really something
My sweet singing Cajun girl.

You ain’t seen nothing
Till you’ve seen my Cajun girl.
She’s really something
My sweet singing Cajun girl.

You ain’t seen nothing
Till you’ve seen my Cajun girl.
She’s really something
My sweet singing Cajun girl.

"Callin' Baton Rouge"

"Callin' Baton Rouge"


I spent last night in the arms
Of a girl in Louisiana
And though I'm out on the highway
My thoughts are still with her
A strange combination of a woman and a child
A strange situation stoppin' every twenty miles
Callin' Baton Rouge

A replay of last night's events
Roll through my mind
Except a scene or two
Erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead
So I change lanes
I need a couple cups of coffee
And a couple dollars change
Callin' Baton Rouge

Operator get me on through
I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I want talk to that girl one more time.

Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine
It won't be long until I'm with you all the time
Until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime.
Callin' Baton Rouge.

"Change My Mind"

"Change My Mind"


I don’t want to lose you
But even a fool could see
Everyday your love is slipping
A little bit further away from me.
So I’ll be the one to say goodbye
Cause your heart’s already gone
Pack my bags and take the midnight train
Unless you say I’m wrong.

[CHORUS:]
Change my mind
Say you couldn’t live without me
Say you’re crazy about me
With a look, with a touch.
Change my mind
I’m looking in your eyes
For the love we left behind
It’s not too late to change my mind.

Something’s come between us
It’s not another lover
One night we just stopped
Trying to please each other.
So if it’s really over
Why can’t I walk away?
Tell me I’m making a big mistake
Beg me to stay.

[CHORUS:]
Give me half a reason
To give it one more try.
We could leave this leaving behind
Change my mind
Say you couldn’t live without me
Say you’re crazy about me
With a look (with a look), with a touch (with a touch)
Change my mind
I’m looking in your eyes
For the love we left behind
(It’s not too late) It’s not too late to change my mind.
O yer, o yer
Repeat last verse [fading]

"Christmas Again"

"Christmas Again"


It's the time of year when good will appears
On the face of most everyone you meet
When Merry Christmas rolls right off your lips
And you make your way down a tinsel lined street
Little faces a-gazing at windows displaying
The things they wrote Santa and told him about
Last minute dashing 'tween buying and wrapping
The world is a carousel tumbling around
It's Christmas again in the city
Christmas in every small town
Christmas again in the country
Christmas all over the whole world around
A time to be thankful for living
A chance to be gentle and giving
So open your heart, be glad to be part of it all
It's Christmas again
There's a wreath on the door and the tree all adorned
With ornaments we've been collecting for years
The fire is blazing the kids are behavin'
'Cause Santa is coming and soon will be here
