- Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
Give me a little old fashioned love the kind that lingers through the years
The kind that's made by God up above give me a little old fashioned love
Now you can have the girls with rosy cheeks the ones that coo like turtle dove
I just want a simple girl that's sweet so give me a little old fashioned love
[ guitar ]
Now you can have the girls that's dressed so nice
From their head down to their little feet
But if you want some real good advice the old fashioned girls just can't be beat

- I Wonder If You Feel the Way I Do
Eight weeks ago tonight we parted
It's so hard to realise we're through
When we quit you said you'd always love me
I wonder if you feel the way I do
I'll ne'er get over our days together
Even though I know they're very few
I loved you then and will forever
- I'll Be Walkin' the Floor This Christmas
I'll be walking the floor this Christmas
When old Santa comes my way
All my friends will be merry this Christmas
But for me just another blue day
Old Santa may drop by this year to help me light my tree
'Cause he knows that I'm still blue
I know he'd like to help me dear and bring you back to me
But there's something's Santa just can't do
- It Sure Helps A Lot
Thanks, thanks a lot
I got a broken heart, that's all I've got
You made me cry and I cried a lot
I lost your love, baby thanks a lot
You told our friend as I was passin' by
That you're not sorry that you made me cry
You said I deserve just what I got
- It's Been So Long Darling
It's been so long darling since I had to go away
It's been so long darling and I can't forget that day
Although you never mentioned it you cried that whole day long
It's been so long darling but now I'm coming home
It's been so long darling since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long darling do you really realize
Just the thought of seeing you it scares me through and through
It's been so long darling since I had a kiss from you

- Letters Have No Arms
I just got your letter dearest sweetheart and darling I miss you oh so much
Your letter has cheered me but I'm lonesome lonesome just to feel your loving touch
Letters have no arms dear to hold me kisses on paper are so cold
These sweet things you write in your letter I wanna be with you dear when told
Letters never bring me the touch of your hand or none of your sweet loving charms
I get so lonesome for you darling and you know that letters have no arms
[ guitar - steel ]
Letters have no arms dear to hold me kisses on paper are so cold
- Lots Of Luck
My heart will break as I watch you go but your kind of love is hard to hold
It seems you and I are losing touch so I'll wish you love and honey lots of luck
Well lots of luck and a big goodbye and you can't say I didn't try
It well could be that I tried too much
And that's why you're leaving but honey lots of luck
[ guitar ]
Now you want love and a big gold mine well that combination is hard to find
Cause money don't always walk with luck but you can go looking and honey lots of luck
- Mean Mama Blues
There’s lots of mean women on almost any street
Lord There’s lots of mean women on almost any street
But I’ve got the meanest Mama that ever walked on two feet
That gal is so low down I often wonder why
Lord she’s so low down I often wonder why
That she keeps on livin’ I guess she’s to mean to die
- Missing In Action
The warship had landed and night come ashore
The fighting was over for me ever more
For I had been wounded they left me forget
A stone for my pillow and snow for my bed
The enemy found me and took me away and made me a prisoner of war so they say
But God in his mercy was with me one day the gate was left open and I ran away
I returned to the old home my sweet wife to see
- Rainbow At Midnight
After the war was over I was coming home to you
I saw a rainbow at midnight out on the ocean blue
The stars in heaven were shining the moon gave its light from above
I saw your face in this rainbow and it made me think of our love
We'll build our home in the country and make all our dreams come true
There we will make a heaven sweetheart just for we two
[Steel]
- Remember Me, I'm the One Who Loves You
First recorded by Jimmy Dean
Written by Stuart Hamblen
When you're all alone and blue
No one to tell your troubles to
Remember me, I'm the one who loves you
When this world has turned you down
- Saturday Satan, Sunday Saint
Saturday Satan, Sunday saint
Foolin' your neighbors that's what you think
Readin' the Good Book, singin' the hymns
Come Monday morning and he's back to a life of sin
Old Brother Brown, all week he steals
Tells everyone this big business deals
The deacon walks by, a dollar hits the plate
- So Round, So Firm, So Fully Packed
So round, so firm, so fully packed
That's my gal
So complete from front to back
That's my pal
Toasted by the sun
And I'm a son of a gun
If she don't make my five o'clock shadow
- Stand By Me
When the storms of life are raging stand by me
When the storms of life are raging stand by me
When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea
Thou who rulest wind and water stand by me
When the midst of tribulation stand by me when the midst of tribulation stand by me
When the hosts of hell assail and my strength begins to fail
Thou who never lost a battle stand by me
- Thanks A Lot
Thanks
Thanks a lot I got a broken heart
That’s all I’ve got
You made me cry
Now I cried a lot
I lost your love baby Thanks a lot
You told our friend
As I was passin' by

Gates of Heaven stood ajar
All the seven days you loved me
- Throw Your Love My Way
To me you're just as pretty as a speckled pup
That's why I keep on callin' and I can't give up
I'll give you everything I've got from A to Z
If you will only throw your pretty love at me
She's got the kinda smile that would turn you up and down
She's got the kinda love that started men to slippin' round
Well I don't think I'm slippin' but I just have to say
For goodness grace you baby throw love my way

Take my lips and give me yours

Just one love for us to share
Just one ecstasy is there
Till we two are one
- Tomorrow Never Comes
Oh you tell me that you love me yes you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married but tomorrow's never there

Now you tell me that you love me but tomorrow never comes
Many weeks now have I waited many long nights have I cried
Just to see that happy morning when I'd have you by my side
(No tomorrow never comes no tomorrow never comes
- Try Me on e More Time
Yes I know I've been untrue and I have hurt you through and through
But please have a mercy on this heart of mine

If my darling you could see just what your leaving's done to me
You'd know that love is still the tie that binds
Take me back and try me one more time
- Walking The Floor Over You
You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day
You've broken your promise and you've left me here alone
I don't know why you did dear but I do know that you're gone
I'm walking the floor over you
I can't sleep a wink that is true
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you
- Waltz Across Texas
When we dance together my world's in disguise
It's a fairyland tale that come true
And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you
Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
- Wondering
Wondering wondering who's kissing you
Wondering just wondering if you're wondering too
Every hour through the day since you went away
I've been wondering if you are still wondering too
I pray every night to the good Lord above please send back the girl that I really love
Every hour through the day since you went away
I've been wondering if you are still wondering too
- Yesterday's Winner Is A Loser Today
The world loves the winners but someone must lose
There's bound to be someone left with the blues
So why should I worry when you go away yesterday's winner is a loser today
Now I now that I find this heart to play fair but somehow I wonder if you really care
Was it love that you gave dear or just foolish play yesterday's winner is a loser today
Now I know there was someone in your life before
And I'm sure it's that someone that you still adore
- You Nearly Lose Your Mind
Now, if you love your mama and you treat her right
But she keeps on fussin' at you every day and night
Then she's gonna trifle on you
They'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin', Lord, you nearly lose your mind
Now if your mama's mean, take a tip from me
Lock her up at home, Lord, but hang onto that key
