"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"

"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"



Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
While you thro' my window peep,
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

"Unchained Melody"

"Unchained Melody"



Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch,
A long lonely time
Time goes by so slowly,
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers syies,
Wait for me,
Wait for me
I'll be coming home,
Wait for me

Time goes by so slowly,
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love
God speed your love to me.

God speed your love to me.

"Uncloudy Day"

"Uncloudy Day"



Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies
Oh, they tell me of a home far away
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Oh, the land of cloudless day
Oh, the land of an unclouded day
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Oh, they tell me of a home where my friends have gone
Oh, they tell me of that land far away
Where the tree of life in eternal bloom
Sheds its fragrance through the unclouded day

Oh, the land of cloudless day
Oh, the land of an unclouded day
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Oh, they tell me of a King in His beauty there
And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold
Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow
In the city that is made of gold

Oh, the land of cloudless day
Oh, the land of an unclouded day
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Oh, they tell me that He smiles on His children there
And His smile drives their sorrows all away
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
In that lovely land of unclouded day

Oh, the land of cloudless day
Oh, the land of an unclouded day
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

"Undo The Right"

"Undo The Right"


If you can't say you love me say you hate me
And that you regret each time you held me tight
If you can't be mine forever please forsake me
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
It was right when you loved me only
But wrong when you held another tight
And before you go away and leave me lonely
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow
You can't undo what's done why do you try
And before you go away and leave me lonely
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
[steel]
It's too late to say...
And if you can't undo the wrong undo the right

"Unfair Weather Friend"
(with Merle Haggard)

"Unfair Weather Friend"
(with Merle Haggard)



[Willie Nelson:]
The whole sky opens up and it rains down on my head
I show up at your door, beat down and soakin wet
I know you will open up and let me waltz right in
My come whatever, unfair weather friend

[Merle Haggard:]
If I find myself out lost on a lonely Friday night
The songs aren't hittin home and the whiskey don't taste right
A few numbers on the phone and you're on the other end
My come whatever, unfair weather friend

[Willie Nelson:]
I might wind up stuck out on some old forgotten highway
Somehow you'll show up and sure enough be goin' my way

[Merle Haggard:]
You're always there, right where you've always been
My come whatever, unfair weather friend

[Willie Nelson:]
I don't have to wonder where'll you be if I should need you
All I have to do is close my eyes and I can see you
Always there, right where you've always been

[Merle Haggard:]
Sometimes this whole world is my worst enemy
And I know where to run when it gets to me
No one else but you can make it all make sense
My come whatever, unfair weather friend

[Willie Nelson:]
My come whatever, unfair weather friend

"Until It's Time For You To Go"

"Until It's Time For You To Go"



You're not a dream you're not an angel you're a woman
I'm not a king I'm a man take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go

Though we're different we're apart we're not the same
We laughed and played at the stars like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart but in you came
And here you'll stay until it's time for me to go
Don't ask why don't ask how don't ask forever love me now

This love of mine had no beginning it has no end
I was an oak now I'm a willow now I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why I'll be don't ask how I'll be don't ask forever I'll be love me now
You're not a dream...

"Used To Her"

"Used To Her"



I'm glad that I ain't used to her no more
I'm glad that I ain't used to her no more
She always burned my bacon,
And she could never shut a door
And I'm glad that I ain't used to her no more

I wish I wasn't used to her back then
I wish I wasn't used to her back then
Could've picked a good girl who did not crave other men
And I wish I wasn't used to her back then

When I start gettin' used to her
I get down on my knees
Say "Lord I know not what I do"
Forgive and help me please

When I get used to her, I'm sick of me
When I get used to her, I'm sick of me
I want to run and hide
Like a kitten up a tree
When I get used to her, I'm sick of me

When I start gettin' used to her
I get down on my knees
Say "Lord I know not what I do"
Forgive and help me please

Once we said for better or for worse
'Til one of us was riding in a hearse
It's same the same old song, we just wrote another verse
And gettin' used to her is gettin' worse

So I'm glad that I ain't used to her no more
I'm glad that I ain't used to her no more
This song is finally over and it sure has been a chore
And I'm glad that I ain't used to her no more
And I'm glad that I ain't used to her no more

"Valentine"

"Valentine"



Valentine won't you be my Valentine
And introduce your heart to mine and be my Valentine
Summertime we could run and play like summertime
With storybooks and nursury rhymes so be my Valentine
Candy heart if anyone could you could have a candy heart
You're the sweetest of all sweethearts won't you give your heart to me
Can't you see
I love you valentine won't you be my Valentine
And won't you share your space with mine and be my Valentine

Candy heart if anyone could you could have a candy heart
You're the sweetest of all sweethearts won't you give your heart to me
Can't you see
I love you valentine won't you be my Valentine
And won't you share your space with mine and be my Valentine

"Wabash Cannonball"

"Wabash Cannonball"


From the great Atlantic ocean
To the wide Pacific shore
To the queen of flowing mountains
For the hills and by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome
And she's known quite well by all
She came down from Birmingham
On the Wabash Cannonball
Well now listen to the jingle
To the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine
And the lonesome hoboes call
No changes can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball

[steel]

Now here's to daddy Claxton
May his name forever stand
He'll always be remembered
In the ports throughout the land
His earthly race is over
And the curtain round him falls
We'll carry him home to Glory
On the Wabash Cannonball
Well now listen to the jingle
To the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine
And the lonesome hoboes call
No changes can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball

[guitar]

Well listen to the jingle
To the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine
And the lonesome hoboes call
No changes can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball

"Wake Me When It's Over"

"Wake Me When It's Over"



Gettin' tired now gotta get some sleep now
Guess I've been worried much too long
And don't wake me till it's over
When the need for you is gone
I was so happy before I loved you
I'm gonna be like I was before
And don't wake me till it's over
When I don't want you anymore

My mind is gettin' weak now gotta get some sleep now
I gotta rest my achin' head
I just wanna lay here just let me stay here
Till the blues get up and leave my bed
Good night, darling
Good night, darling
Good night forevermore
And don't wake me till it's over
When I won't want you anymore
My mind is gettin' weak now...
