Lovesick Blues


I'm in love,
+
I'm in love,
+
I'm in love with a girl,
+
That's what's the matter with me
+
I'm in love,
+
I'm in love, with a beautiful girl,
+
But she don't give a darn about me
+
to make her love me I tried,
+
How I sighed and I cried
+
But she just refused
+
And ever since she's gone away,
+
I've got those lovesick blues
+
Got the feeling called the "blue hoo's,"
+
since my sweetie said "Good Bye"
+
Seems I don't know what to "Do Hoo"
+
All day long I sit and cry
+
That last long day we spent alone
+
I'm yearning for it yet
+
She thrilled me, filled me,
+
with a kind of lovin',
+
I never will forget, the way she called me sweet daddy"
+
Twas just a beautiful dream
+
I hate to think that it's all over I lost my heart it seems
+
I got so used to her somehow
+
But I'm no body's baby
+
Now, gee it's awful when you're lonesome
+
and get those lovesick blue-oo-oo-oo-oo's
+
Got the feeling called the "blue hoo's,"
+
since my sweetie said "Good Bye"
+
Seems I don't know what to "Do Hoo"
+
All day long I sit and cry
+
That last long day we spent alone
+
I'm yearning for it yet
+
She thrilled me, filled me,
+

+
I never will forget, the way she called me sweet daddy

But I'm no body's baby

Now, gee it's awful when you're lonesome

Are My Thoughts With You?


I'm gonna plant me some seed
+
Grow me an ocean
+
Cut me some trees
+
And build me an island
+
Stand on the corner
+
Flag down a streetcar
+
Go somewhere and phone him
+
And ask him where my thoughts are
+
I'm gonna say to him
+
Are my thoughts with you babe
+
How twisted, babe, are they
+
Since you went away, babe
+
I ain't been thinking too straight
+
And if that don't get through
+
I'm gonna build me a flower
+
Sit down in the morning dew
+
And kiss it every hour
+
I'm gonna turn out the lights
+
Turn on the night
+
Give up the fight
+
Go for a flight
+
Catch me a kite
+
Who cares what's right or wrong
+
When I get to the moon
+
Rent me a room
+
Sit in the gloom
+
All alone
+
And cry are my thoughts with you babe
+
How twisted, babe, are they
+
You know, since you went away, babe
+
I ain't been thinking too straight
+
I'm gonna turn out the lights
+
Turn on the night
+
Give up the fight
+
Go for a flight
+
Catch me a kite
+
Who cares what's right or wrong
+
When I get to the moon
+
Rent me a room
+
Sit in the gloom
+
All alone
+
And cry are my thoughts with you babe

Will You Love Me Tomorrow?


Tonight you're mine, completely
+
You give your soul so sweetly
+
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
+
But will you love me tomorrow
+
Is this a lasting treasure
+
Or just a moment's pleasure
+
Can I believe the magic in your sighs
+
And will you still love me tomorrow
+
Tonight with words unspoken
+
You say that I'm the only one
+
But will my heart be broken
+
When the night meets the morning sun
+
I'd like to know if your love
+
Is a love I can be sure of
+
So tell me now and I won't ask again
+
Will you still love me tomorrow
+
Will you still love me tomorrow
+
Will you still love me tomorrow

Nobodys


written by Gary White
+
One year later I saw her
+
Wearing a face in a strange disguise
+
Carried a smile they taught her
+
Gives it away at the edge of her eyes
+
Didn't I see the sunshine through the rainfall
+
She's crying and she knows it
+
She's crying and she shows it on the outside now
+
Whatever happened to the girl that was
+
Did she go inside because it's cold out here
+
Sooner or later she told me
+
I am in love again, truly this time
+
Nothing at home left to hold me
+
The city's just great and the world treats me fine
+
Didn't she think I heard that old refrain before
+
She's lying and she knows it
+
She's lying and she shows it on the outside now
+
Whatever happened to the girl that was
+
Did she go inside because it's cold out here
+
Didn't she think I'd seen someone in pain before
+
She's crying and she knows it
+
She's crying and she shows it on the outside now
+
Whatever happened to the girl that was
+
Did she go inside because it's cold out here

Louise


Well they all said Louise was not half bad
+
It was written on the walls and window shades
+
And how she'd act a little girl
+
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
+
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
+
Flowers and maybe some lace
+
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
+
Their intentions were easily traced
+
Yes and everybody knew at times she cried
+
Ah but women like Louise well they get by
+
Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
+
When they found Louise in her room
+
They'd always put her down below their kind
+
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
+
Louise rode home on the mail train
+
Somewhere to the south I heard her say
+
Too bad it ended so ugly
+
Too bad she had to go this way
+
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
+
Well goodnight Louise goodnight
+

Long Long Time


Love will abide
+
Take things in stride
+
Sounds like good advice
+
But there's no one at my side
+
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
+
That's what someone told me
+
But I don't know what it means
+
'Cause I've done everything I know
+
To try and make you mine
+
And I think I'm gonna love you
+
For a long long time
+
Caught in my fears
+
Blinking back the tears
+
I can't say you hurt me
+
When you never let me near
+
And I never drew one response from you
+
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
+
'Cause I've done everything I know
+
To try and make you mine
+
And I think it's gonna hurt me
+
For a long long time
+
Wait for the day you'll go away
+
Knowing that you warned me
+
Of the price I'd have to pay
+
And life's full of flaws
+
Who knows the cause?
+
Living in the memory of a love that never was
+
'Cause I've done everything I know
+
To try and change your mind
+
And I think I'm gonna miss you
+
For a long long time
+
'Cause I've done everything I know
+
To try and make you mine
+
And I think I'm gonna love you
+
For a long long time
+

Mental Revenge


Well I hope that the friend that you've thrown yourself on
+
Gets drunk and loses her job
+
And every road that you travel on
+
Is dusty rocky and hard
+
I couldn't make you love me
+
You only made me blue
+
So all in all if the curtain should fall
+
Then I hope that it falls on you
+
And I will have sweet
+
Sweet sweet mental revenge
+
I will have sweet
+
Sweet sweet mental revenge
+
Well I hope that the train from Caribou, Maine
+
Runs over your new love affair
+
You'll walk the floor from dawn to dawn
+
And you'll tear out your peroxide hair
+
I never was your woman
+
Cause you were never true
+
So all in all if the curtain should fall
+
Then I hope that it falls on you
+
And I will have sweet
+
Sweet sweet mental revenge
+
I will have sweet
+
Sweet sweet mental revenge
+
I will have sweet
+
Sweet sweet mental revenge
+
I will have sweet
+
Sweet sweet mental revenge
+

He Dark The Sun


It was not so long ago, maybe just a year or so
+
When I was lonely and when looking for someone
+
Way down south in New Orleans just a-lookin' for a dream
+
And that's when I found him that's where it all begun
+
He was there on that night said for you I know I'm right
+
I'll be with you until my race is run
+
He walked into my life with his cold evil eyes
+
And with the length of his mind, he dark the sun
+
Well, my memory cannot speak and, oh Lord, I'm feeling weak
+
But I blame it on the fact that I was young
+
Though I know it may sound strange, there is no way I can change
+
What my fate has laid out for me now is done
+
He was there on that night, said for you I know I'm right
+
I'll be with you until my race is run
+
He walked into my life with his cold evil eyes
+
And with the length of his mind he dark the sun
+
And with the length of his mind he dark the sun

Life Is Like a Mountain Railway


Traditonal, arranged by Elliot Mazer & Linda Ronstadt
+
Accompanied by the Beechwood Rangers
+
Life is like a mountain railway
+
With an engineer that's brave
+
We must make the run successful
+
From the cradle to the grave
+
Heed the curves and watch the tunnels
+
Never falter, never fail
+
Keep your hands upon the throttle
+
And your eye upon the rail
+
Blessed Saviour there to guide us
+
Till we reach that blissful shore
+
And the angels there to join us
+
In God's grace forevermore
+
As you roll across the trestle
+
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
+
You will reach the Union Depot
+
Into which your train will ride
+
There you'll meet the superintendent
+
God the father, God the son
+
With a happy joyous greeting
+
Weary pilgrim, welcome home
+
Blessed Saviour there to guide us
+
Till we reach that blissful shore
+
And the angels there to join us
+
In God's grace forevermore
+
In God's grace forevermore
