"Lucille (Won't You Do Your Daddy's Will)"



Lucille won't you do your daddy's will
Oh Lucille, just won't you do your daddy's will
Well, it ain't nothin' to you, I love you still.

Oh Lucille, please come back where you belong
Oh Lucille, please come back where you belong
I've been good to you baby, please don't leave me alone.

Well, I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked her friends about her but all their lips were tight.

Lucille, won't you do your daddy's will
Oh Lucille, just won't you do your daddy's will
Well, it ain't nothin' to you, I love you still.

Oh Lucille, please come back where you belong
Oh Lucille, please come back where you belong
I've been good to you baby, please don't leave me alone.

Well, I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked her friends about her but all their lips were tight.

Lucille, please come back where you belong
I been good to you baby, please don't leave me alone.

Lucille baby satisfy my heart, oh Lucille, baby satisfy my heart
I can't come around baby, but you gave me such a wonderful start Lucille.

"Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love)"



The only two things in life
That make it worth livin'
Is guitars to tune good
And firm feelin' women

I don't need my name in the marquis lights
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin'
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
Ain't nobody feelin' no pain

So baby let's sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high society you cry all day

We've been so busy
Keepin' up with the Jones
Four car garage and we're still building on
Maybe it's time we got
Back to the basics of love

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin'
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
Ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we're livin'
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Jerry Jeff's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
There ain't nobody feelin' no pain

"MacArthur Park"

"MacArthur Park"


Spring was never waiting for us girl
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot fevered iron like a strip-ed pair of pants.

Mac Arthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it Lord
It took so long to bake it
I'll never had that recipe again, oh no.

I recall the yellow cotton dress
foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
And birds like tender babies in your hands
The old man playing checkers by the trees.

Mac Arthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it Lord
It took so long to bake it
I'll never had that recipe again, oh no.

[Instrumental]

There will be another song for me for and I will sing it
There will be another dream for me someone will bring it
I will taste the wine while it is warm
and never let you catch me looking in the sun
But after all the loves of my life
after all the loves of my life you'll still be the one.

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
And my passions flow like rivers from the sky
But after all the loves of my life after all the loves of my life
I'll still be along wondering why.

Mac Arthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it Lord
It took so long to bake it
I'll never had that recipe again, oh no...

"Makin's Of A Song"

"Makin's Of A Song"



Before you pack your suitcase call your mama
Up to now she's taught you all you need to know
Just look at me as kinda like your daddy
Teaching you the old rules of the road

You won't be no superstar tomorrow
You've got to take the time to pay your dues
When you start to feel at home out on the highway
You're damn sure qualified to sing the blues

Always send a big guy for the money
Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong
Even when you lose you're still the winner
At least you've got the making's of a song

Don't compromise your feelings when they matter
They'll come back to haunt you don't you know
The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow
If you don't give up the music for the show

Always send a big guy for the money...
At least you've got the making's of a song

"Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys"

(duet with Willie Nelson)

"Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys"
(originally by Ed Bruce, )
(duet with Willie Nelson)



Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold.
They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold.
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis,
And each night begins a new day.
If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young,
He'll prob'ly just ride away.

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone they love.

Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings,
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night.
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do,
Sometimes won't know how to take him.
He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him,
Do things to make you think he's right.

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone they love.

"Man Of Constant Sorrow"

"Man Of Constant Sorrow"



I'm a man of constant sorrow
I've known trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow
And I won't be back this way.

Misery is nothing new to me
Memories will pay in time
Another day some new tomorrow
Just might ease my troubled mind.

I'm a man of constant sorrow
I've known trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow
And I won't be back this way.

I can't be the man you've made of me
Only you know how I tried
I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow
Maybe then you'll be satisfied.

I'm a man of constant sorrow
I've known trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow
And I won't be back this way...

"Mansion On The Hill"

"Mansion On The Hill"



Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill

Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years love to give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow in your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill

"Mary Ann Regrets"

"Mary Ann Regrets"



I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours
Then today in the mail I recieved a short little note
And I'd broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote.

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We'll leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plans
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann.

The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then
I read in the papers of far away places she's been
I can't eat I can't sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann.

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We'll leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plans
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann.

My Mary had died too sad she just wasted away
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today
For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone.

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We'll leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plans
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann.

Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann...

"Mason-Dixon Lines"
(performed with Mel Tillis)



Someone who knows me well is spreading rumors
About the hearts I've broken in my time
From northern maine down to Palestine, Texas
They're talking bout my mason dixon lines

My Texas drawl just killes them in ohio
In dixieland my new york flow is fine
North or south I got two different ways of coming on
That's why they call it my mason dixon line

Mothers have been warning all their daughters
Telling them they'd better run and hide
Stay away from that silver tongued devil
And beware of his mason dixon lines

This southern boy delights them up in detroit
But Georgia girls like hollywood and wine
City dude or souhern gent I give them what they want
And I hit them with my mason dixon lines

My papa told me son respect the ladies
So I respect them each and every night
I found out what they're looking for then I change my habit
They all want my mason dixon line
