- All My Hard Times
All of my hard times soon be over all of my hard times soon be over
I've been pushed and I've been shoved been put down by the people I love
I've been hurt and I've been scorned at times I've wished I'd never been born
But all of my hard times soon be over all of my hard times soon be over
I was raised in a two room shack the only thing I owned was hanging on my back
Been in trouble thrown in jail I had nobody to draw my bail
But all of my hard times soon be over all of my hard times soon be over

- Another
There'll always be another, then another
And another just like me
You didn't lo-ove me long until the thrill was gone
Then another made me your old used to be
How long can his love last when the new lose love so fast
There'll always be another, then another
And another just like me
- Jody And The Kid
She would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river
Waitin' patient by the China berry tree
With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees
And I'd paid her no attention as she tagged along beside me
Trying hard to copy everything I did
But I couldn't keep from smiling when I'd hear somebody saying
Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid
- Peel Me A 'Nanner
There I was in all of my innocence
Lovin' you with all of my might
Come to find I didn't have any sense
You had a different darlin' every night
Peel me a 'nana, toss me a peanut
I'll come swingin' from a coconut tree
Peel me a 'na-ana, toss me a peanut
- Such A Fool
I'm a fool such a fool a crazy fool for lovin' you
I'm a fool such a fool a crazy fool for bein' true
The day we met I told my heart better let her be
No good no good she ain't no good she'll make a fool of me
I'm a fool such a fool a crazy fool for lovin' you
[ guitar ]
The day we met I told my heart...
- Three Hearts in a Tangle
Three hearts in a tangle one heart will have to break
Tonight as I sit by my window watching the people go by
I'm trying to reach a decision but I know I can't do what's right
Three hearts in a tangle which heart should I take
Three hearts in a tangle which heart will I break
[ steel - piano ]
If I choose the one that I should choose then the other heart would break
But if I'll leave them both then I'd suffer which heart will pay for my mistake
- Tip Of My Fingers
I had your love on the tips of my fingers but I let it slip right through my hands
Yes I let it slip right through my hands
I reached out my arms and I touched you with soft words I whispered your name
I had you right on the tip of my fingers but that was as close as I came
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips yeelding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers but I let it slip right through my hands
But I let it slip right through my hands
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking and I should have known from the start
- Turn Around
There is someone walking behind you turn around look at me
There is someone watching your footsteps turn around look at me
There is someone who really needs you here's my heart here's my hand
Turn around look at me undertsand understand
That there's someone to stand beside you turn around look at me
And there's someone to love and guide you turn around look at me
Oh I've waited but I'll wait forever for you to come to me
Look at someone who really loves you turn around look at me look at me
- Yesterday
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
