"Yesterday's Roses"

Roses, pressed in a bible
Bring wonderful memories of you
Roses, withered and faded
The same as the love we once knew

Yesterday's roses covered with teardrops

If half of all the things you say, were true instead of lies
Then there'd be only half as many teardrops in my eyes
If half of all the dreams I dream, were ever to come true
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, a half-way chance with you

If most of all the things I hear, were only half-way true
Then I'd be half-way happy dear and only half as blue
If you spent half the time with me, you spend with someone new

Sittin' here with you, don't know why I'm blue
Just a feelin' that I've had right from the start
Somethin' 'bout your smile that lingers for awhile
Stirs an old time mem'ry in my heart

Don't mind me if I'm a little sentimental
Don't mind me I'm not about to cry
It's just a thought that I remember

A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all alone in romance
Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind, it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams

After you leave me who'll kiss away my tears
After you leave me who'll cheer my lonely years
No one but you, dear, can make my life worthwhile
After you leave me I won't wanna smile

Roses need sunshine just like I need your love
Stars need the Heaven and all the space above
I need your lovin', there's no one else would do

You came down to this southern town last summer
To show the folks a brand new way of life
But all you've shown the folks around here is trouble
And you've only added misery to their strife
Your concern is not to help the people
And I'll say again, though it's been often said
Your concern is just to bring discomfort, my friend
And your policy is just a little red

Answer me, oh my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please, answer me sweetheart
You were mine yesterday
I belived that love was here to stay
Will you tell me where I've gone astray
Please, answer me my love

It should be April Fools Day cause you've been foolin' me
All the things you promised just weren't meant to be
You lied, you lied you cheated, you never could be true
It should be April Fools Day and the joke should be on you

It hurt me so to see you go you're secret love and you
As in the past, for now, at last I found someone new
Your secret love has left you and I found someone new

In the southern part of Texas, in the town of San Antone,
There's a fortress all in ruin that the weeds have overgrown.
You may look in vain for crosses and you'll never see a one,
But sometime between the setting and the rising of the sun,
You can hear a ghostly bugle as the men go marching by;
You can hear them as they answer to that roll call in the sky:
Colonel Travis, Davy Crockett and a hundred eighty more;
Captain Dickenson, Jim Bowie, present and accounted for.

In the southern part of Texas
In the town of San Antone
There's a fortress all in ruins that the weeds have overgrown
You may look in vain for crosses and you'll never see a-one
But sometimes between the setting and the rising of the sun
You can hear a ghostly bugle
As the men go marching by
You can hear them as they answer

Songwriters: DARBY, KEN LORIN /

Beyond the reef where the sea is dark and cold
My love has gone, and my dreams grow old
There'll be no tears, there'll be no regretting
Will she remember me will she forget?

I'll send a thousand flowers where the trade winds blow

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
for the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around

I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did
Way out in New Mexico long long ago
When a man's only chance was his own forty-four.
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad
In old Silver City he went to the bad
Way out in the West with a gun in his hand
At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man.

True I wasn't born anywhere south of the border and I'm not a native to old Mexico
But there's someone there makes my heart as though may to order
And it's fittingly proper through these eyes that lovers show
If I could just write it off as mere fascination
Then the problems we face would die where they are and not grow
But my will's not contained in the thoughts little minds now are thinking
Oh I'm on my way to old Mexico
There are those who will shame us by opening showing rejection

When you're all alone and blue
And you don't know what to do
Call me up and I'll come calling on you
When you're all alone at home
And no one calls you on the phone
Call me up and I'll come calling on you
When there's teardrops big and round
In your eyes so big and brown

I guess I'll take a walk tonight
I know that I can't sleep
And I won't go to bed at all
I'll just lay there and weep
Instead, I'll make our favorite spot
That's what I think I'll do
I got those smokin' cigarettes
And drinkin' coffee blues

Well, he walked out in the arena
All dressed up to the brim
Said he's just came down
From a place called Highland Rim
Well, he said he came to ride the horse
The one they called The Brute
But he didn't look like a cowboy

All day I've faced the barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water

CHORUS:
Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man

I'm kin to the rovin' wind that brings the norther in
Along that dusty trail I'll take my stand
The steers are big and bold and the nights are often cold
But I'll get by so long as I can

Throw that rope and brand that calf dream of a girl in a photograph
I got no home I got no wife but I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life

Guess who I saw today and I asked him about you
I saw your new love and it was plain he cares about you
But I'll wait until he's out of town
Then I'll call you up and want to come around

But don't let me touch you don't let me get close to you
Though I might say nice things and I might bring a rose to you
There's just a chance your old romance might burn anew

Don't worry 'bout me it's all over now
Though I may be blue i'll manage somehow

Love can't be explained
Can't be controlled one day it's warm
Next day it's cold

Don't pity me 'Cause I'm feeling blue

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;
Music would play and Felina would whirl.

Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden;

From thirty thousand feet above the desert floor I see it there below
A city with the legend the west Texas city of El Paso
Where long ago I heard a song about a Texas cowboy and a girl
And a little place called Rose's where he used to go and watch this beauty whirl

I don't recall who sang the song but I recall the story that I heard
And as I look down on the city I remember each and every word
The singer sang about a jealous cowboy and the way he used a gun

Five brothers who left Arkansas
Set out to find the gambler
Who murdered their pa
Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man
Who killed their pa in New Orleans

They heard of him in Houston

Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o
Ghost riders in the sky

An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
Plowin' through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw

Don't listen to gossip whatever you do
It's usually lies that you'll hear
What they say about me they say about you
So kiss me and dry up your tears

And don't you believe what they say about me
They're tryin' to keep us apart
The vows that were spoken weren't meant to be broken

Last night I come home and I knocked on my door
I called to my love as I oft had before
I knocked and I knocked but no answer it came
No kisses to greet me no voice called my name

I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord I couldn't believe it was true
My eyes filled with tears I must have aged ten years
I couldn't believe it was true

I met a girl down in the hills that gave my lonely heart a thrill
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring
And when I looked into her eyes I thought it blue as a summer skies
When I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of wondering (wondering if he loves her)
Will she marry (marry if he asks her)
Will her heart be (heart be true for him for) then and evermore

We're traveling down two different roads
In worlds so far apart
You want me yet there's something else
Before me in your heart
You're wanting me to change my life
The way you're living yours
But I can't change, I see no way
You wanted me before

I think that I'm beginning to forget you
And I should because I tried
With all my might
I think that I'm beginning to forget you
'Cause I only cried a little bit last night

I think that I'm beginning to forget you
I think or maybe it just seems that way

I'm having a ball goin' out on the town every night
I'm paintin' it red, remember you said that
I'd be crying when you were out of sight

Instead, I'm having a ball and I'm makin' new friends every day
I seem to forget that we ever met and
I am laughing in just the same old way

In the ashes of an old love I found the spark burning yet
As I watched it I kept thinking I could never forget
An old love that didn't last I saw my future just like my past
In the ashes of an old love affair
Then a spark rosin gave light to a world of romance
And it thrilled me to think there could still be a chance
In these mouldering embers I saw love burning bright
In the ashes of an old love affair

Just married this mornin'.
How happy they are.
"Just Married" written on
The window of a-their car.
It broke my heart
To see them drive away.
I lost the one I love today.

When but a boy I courted Sally
My life was young, not quite sixteen
We talked of things I sometimes dreamed of
And things beyond my wildest dreams
At seventeen I met Wynona
Her warm, red lips set me aglow
She taught me things she should not teach me
More that a young man ought to know

Gonna tell Aunt Mary bout Uncle John
He says he has the blues but he has a lot of fun
Oh baby yea yea yea oh baby woo baby
Have-a-me some fun tonight

Well long tall Sally she's big as street
She got everything that Uncle John need
Oh baby yea yea yea oh baby woo baby

A lonely wife had written a letter one sad day
To the one she loved who'd wandered far away
And her teardrops fell like rain falling on the window pane
Them she read the note and this it had to say
If you love me come and stay
If you don't, please stay away
Either love me or leave me alone
Don't come back and say you'll stay

Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started back doing the
Things you used to do

Well as I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a coup de ville
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road

Nobody knew where he came from
They only knew he came in
Slowly he walked to the end of the bar
And he ordered up one slug of gin

Well, I could see that he wasn't a large man
I could tell that he wasn't too tall
I judged him to be 'bout five foot three

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

Oh, Regina, do you ever think about me
While you're lyin' in your bed
Oh Regina, oh Regina
Does the one you're lyin' next to
Satisfy you like you said I always did
Oh Regina, oh Regina

While you're makin' love to him

Well when I come home this morning
Was still too dark to see
I could tell that baby wasn't sleepin' next to me
She's gone and left me
Where to, I guess I'll never know
I only know her leavin's brought pain and misery to my soul

Well a note was on the pillow

Tonight is the last time I'll see you
So if I hold you a little too tight
Please don't blame me
Tonight is the last time I'll see you

So if I cry a little too much
Please don't blame me

Private Wilson White, America is proud tonight
Proud to claim you for their hero, Private White

On a battlefield one day in a land so far away
Mid the rattle of machine guns in the dawn's first golden light
Twenty men lay close to death, nineteen of them held their breath
While one volunteered to save them, volunteered to give his life

From this valley they say you are leaving
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you all of the sunshine
That has brightened our pathway a while

Then come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley

I rode out of Kansas City, going south to Mexico
I was running dodging danger,left the girl that I loved so
Far behind lay Kansas City and the past that I had earned
Twenty notches on my six gun marked the lessons I had learned

Many times I sold my fast gun for a place to lay my head
Till the nights began to haunt me by the men that I left dead
Couldn't stand it any longer with the life that I'd begun

They call me a drifter, they say I'm no good
I'll never amount to a thing
Well I may be a drifter and I may be no good
There's joy in this song that I sing.

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp.

North of the border of Old Mexico
I rode one day to the cowtown of San Angelo
A hot sun was glowing, a warm wind was blowing
Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss

Cheeks that would blush in red roses to shame
Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain
Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds

On a long lonesome journey I'm going
Throw your arms 'round my neck and don't cry
Though in shackles and chains they will take me
To a prison to stay til I die

And at night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
And long for your sweet kiss in vain
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow

Well I been a-ridin' shotgun on the Houston-Dallas stage
I got me a sawed-off hogleg, twenty is the number gauge
I'd shoot anybody that would try to stop this ride
A lot of outlaws tried it, a lot of outlaws died

Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider

I was sheriff down in Austin a long, long time ago

He was a small man but this man was all man
He was accustomed to danger
He knew the badlands, he knew every bad man
This man was a ranger, ranger, ranger

Into the township of Pecos he rode
Everyone noticed this stranger
Plainly it showed in the way that he rode in

Long long ago in old Wyoming lived a maid
Fair as the sweetest flower bloomin' in the shade
She loved a bandit bold who roamed the prairie o'er
And every night she'd listen for his call

Then far the west his voice came ringing ridin' wild horse he came singing
Hee li oli yip ioli ay
Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ya he brings a token of his love

This my friends is an old Spanish lullaby
And it's been handed down from generation to generation
And in it a father is singing to his baby son
And he's telling him close your eyes little one and sleep
And dream while the angels watch over you
I will hold your hand and when you wake with the morning I'll still be here

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day.
I spied a young cowboy, wrapped all in white linnen
Wrapped in white linnen, as cold as the clay.

Oh beat the drum slowly, and play the fife lowly
Sing the death march as you carry me along
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod ore me

Mom says we're too young for love, Dad agrees it's so
But the joy and bliss that I find in your kiss
Is a thrill they'll never, never know
Oh-oh, They say our love is a teenage dream
That young love can't be true
But come what may we will hope and pray
That our teenage dream comes true

I came to town to search for gold
And I brought with me a memory
And I seem to hear the night wind cry,
"Go hang your dreams on the hangin' tree
Your dreams of love that could never be
Hang your faded dreams on the hangin' tree!"

I searched tor gold and I found my gold

When I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire
A youth within my teens, but full of challenge and desire
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad
I know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad

I fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well
How many times we robbed and plundered, I could never tell
This kind of sinful living leads only to a fall

The same two lips that once told me they loved me
Are the same two lips that now tell me goodbye
And the same two hands that once held mine so tightly
Are the same two hands that now push me aside

The same two eyes that looked at me so fondly
Are the same two eyes that look at someone else
And the same two lips I've taught to say I love you

Someday I'm going to write
The story of my life
I'll tell about the night we met
And how my heart can't forget
The way you smiled at me

I want the world to know
The story of my life

When I hear the rain a comin' down it makes me sad and blue
Was on a rainy night like this that Flo said we were through.
I told her how I loved her, and I begged her not to go
But another man had changed her mind so I said goodbye to Flo.

Alone within my cell tonight my heart is filled with fear
The only sound within the room is the falling of each tear.
I think about the thing I've done, I know it wasn't right

Time goes by and I still love you
Place no one on earth above you
Time goes by and still I haven't changed
Time goes by and I still miss you
Want to hold you close and kiss you
Time goes by and still I haven't changed
You told me to forget you
And find somebody new

Carmen, Carmen, Carmen
Tonight I am aching, my body is shaking
Tonight Carmen's coming back home
Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom

Tonight Carmen's coming back home
Tonight as I stand here I notice my hand here
Is trembling as never before

They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard

And can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet, we're not too young to know
This love will last tho' years may go

All through the day in the saddle I sway
Visions glow as I go trail deramin'
I see a home on a blue mountain dome
Lovingly that I made, trail dreamin'
There'a a rainbow trail that's lined with stars
That leads to a gate with moonbeam bars
And it's welcome, I feel, till my visons so real
Turn to dust 'cause I'm just trail dreamin

See then tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

I'm a rovin' cowboy ridin' all day long
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song
Nights underneath the prairie moon

Drivin' my race car is my way of making a livin'
My way of puttin' the bread on the table at home
I'm gettin' back about half as much as I'm givin'
And I couldn't make it without a good woman at home

First place could be just a dream but I'm gonna chase it
Finishing out of the top ten is nothing but bad
And a junker won't ever be first I might as well face it

(Goodbye my love, goodbye my love)

This is goodbye, my love
Try not to cry, my love
Kiss me and miss me, love
Until we meet again

No lips will touch my own

And now my friends you've asked me what makes me sad and still
And why my brow is darkened like the clouds upon the hill
Run in your ponies closer and I'll tell to you my tale
Of Utah Carol my partner and his last ride on the trail
We rode the range together and rode it side by side
I loved him like a brother, and I wept when Utah died
We were rounding up one morning when work was almost done
When on his side the cattle started on a frightened run

How long will it be 'til I see my baby
This waitin' here is drivin' me crazy
Where'd ya go, when are you comin' back?

I treated you good like a good man should've
You left me here, and that ain't good, oh
Where'd ya go
And when are you comin' back? Comin' back
