Barbara Allen

Twas in the merry month of May
When flowers were a-bloomin'
Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen

He sent his servant to the town
The town where she did dwell in
Saying "Master dear has sent me here
It remained for Barbara Allen"

Then slowly slowly she got up
And slowly she went to him
And all she said when she got there
"Young man, I think you're dying"

"Oh don't you remember the other day
When we were in the tavern?
You drank your health to the ladies there
And you slighted Barbara Allen"

He turned his face unto the wall
He turned his back upon her
"Adieu! Adieu! To all my friends
Be kind to Barbara Allen"

She looked to the east, She looked to the west
She saw his corpse a-comin'
"Oh sit him down for me" she cried
"That I may gaze upon him"

The more she looked the more she grieved
She bursted out to cryin'
Sayin' "pick me up and carry me home
For I feel like I am dyin'"

They buried Willie in the old churchyard
And Barbara in the new one
From Willie's grave there grew a rose
From Barbara's a green briar

They grew and grew to the old church wall
And could not grow no higher
And there they died in a true love-knot
The rosebush and the briar

Born Yesterday

Living in the city where the walls have ears
People judge you by the words they hear
Shake their heads while they chew your name
And then they write it on a wall
People see you and they turn their heads
Whisper words you might have said
Point to a spot where you may have bled
Then they write it on a wall
He lost his mind today
She threw his clothes away
The love they thought would last just flew away
She lost her mind today
He threw her ring away
They act as if they were born yesterday
And I wonder whose heart hurts the worst
And who knows whose heart was broke first
No one gives them the love they need
Or helps them through their time of grief
After all, it could be you or me
We're just human after all
He lost his mind today
She threw his clothes away
The love they thought would last just flew away
She lost her mind today
He threw her ring away
They act as if they were born yesterday
And I wonder whose heart hurts the worst
And who knows whose heart was broke first
They lost their minds today
They threw their love away
They act as if they were born yesterday
They lost their love today
They threw it all away
They act as if they were born yesterday

Bowling Green

Way down in Bowling Green
Prettiest girls I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky
Sure is lucky
To live down in Bowling Green
Bowling Green folks treat you kind
They let you think your own mind
A man in Kentucky
Sure is lucky
In Bowling Green you walk your own line
Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms the body
And I know it touches the soul
Bluegrass is fine
Kentucky owns my mind
The fields down in Bowling Green
Have the softest grass i've ever seen
A man in Kentucky
Sure is lucky
To lie down in Bowling Green
Bowling Green girls treat you right
They wear dresses cut country tight
A man in Kentucky
Sure is lucky
If he's seen the Bowling Green light
Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms the body
And I know it touches the soul
Bluegrass is fine
Kentucky owns my mind
Bowling Green Bowling Green
Bowling Green Bowling Green
Bowling Green Bowling Green
Bowling Green Bowling Green

Cathy's Clown

CHORUS
Don’t want your lo-o-o-o-ove anymore
Don’t want your ki-i-i-i-isses, that’s for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
“Here he co-o-o-o-omes, that’s Cathy’s clown”

I’ve gotta stand tall, you know a man can’t crawl
But when he knows you tell lies and he hears ‘em passin’ by
He’s not a man at all

CHORUS

When you see me shed a tear and you know that it’s sincere
Dontcha think it’s kinda sad that you’re treatin’ me so bad
Or don’t you even care

CHORUS

FADE
That’s Cathy’s clown
That’s Cathy’s clown

Danger Danger

You like the bright lights
staying out every night
teasing the boys playing with toys

Danger danger that's a game that you play
danger danger but I can't stay away
You got a bad
bad bad name
but I want you just the same

You hate the teachers at school
treat 'em so cool
you slip and you slide take'em all for a ride

Danger danger only game that you know
danger danger you always let go
You got a bad
bad bad name
but I want you just the same

Bridge:
The physical walk dressing to kill
the best little tease
with the cheap
cheap thrill
You kiss'em so good go go child
The devil himself
must made you his child

Got the mojo machine

the cake and the cream
in your cute little dress
Put'em all of the test

Danger danger...

You like the briht lights...
Danger danger...

Dont' Blame Me

Don't blame me, for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell, but how can I help - it
Don't blame me.

Can't you see, when you do the things you do
If I can't conceal, the thrill that I'm feel - ing
Don't blame me.

BRIDGE

I can't help it, if that dog-goned - moon above
Makes me need, someone like you - to love.

Blame your kiss, as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms, that melt in my arms
But don't blame me.

Down In The Willow Garden

Down in the Willow garden
Where me and my love did meet
As we sat a-courtin'
My love fell off to sleep
I had a bottle of Burgundy wine
My love she did not know
So I poisoned that dear little girl
On the banks below

I drew a sabre through her
It was a bloody knife
I threw her in the river
Which was a dreadful sign
My father often told me
That money would set me free
If I would murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connolly

My father sits at his cabin door
Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
For his only son soon shall walk
To yonder scaffold high
My race is run, beneath the sun
The scaffold now waits for me
For I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly

Ebony Eyes

On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time
To get home and marry that baby of mine
So I went to the chaplain and he authorized
Me to send for my ebony eyes

My ebony eyes was coming to me
From out of the skies on Flight 1203
In an hour or two I would whisper "I do"
To my beautiful ebony eyes

SPOKEN
The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines desk and I said "Sir, I
wonder why 1203 is so late?" He said "Aww, they probably took off late or they
may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter their course." I went
back outside and I waited at the gate and I watched the beacon light from the
control tower as it whipped through the dark ebony skies as if it were searching for
(my ebony eyes.) And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker:
"Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203 please report to the
chapel across the street at once."

Then I felt a burning break deep inside
And I knew the heavenly ebony skies
Had taken my life's most wonderful prize
My beautiful ebony eyes

If I ever get to heaven I'll bet
The first angel I'll recognize
She'll smile at me and I know she will be
My beautiful ebony eyes

Gee But It's Lonely

Got dad's car and chauffer but that's no good to half a pair
Gee but it's lonely being alone may as well go home
Got on my suit my shoes are shined all dressed up for a real good time
Gee but it's lonely being alone might as well go home
What's wrong with me that I can't find someone for my own
Why should I be left behind left to be alone
The girl I asked out told me a lie there she goes with some guy
Gee but it's lonely being alone guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home guess I'll go on home guess I'll go on home

I Wonder If I Care As Much

(chorus)
I Wonder If I Care As Much
As I did before........

(moaning violin)

Last night I cried myself to sleep
For the one that makes me weep,
I dried my eyes to greet the day,
And wondered why I have to pay.

The tears that I have shed by day
Give relief and wash away,
The mem´ry of the life before,
I wonder if I´ll suffer more.
(chorus)

My pride is made to say forgive,
and take the blame for what you did,
It´s your mistake I´m thinkin´ of,
I wonder if I´m still in love.

My heart can´t thrive on misery,
My life it has no destiny,
When things get more
Than I can bear,
I ask myself ´Do I still care?´
(chorus)

Kentucky

Kentucky
You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me
Kentucky
I miss your laurels and your redbud trees
When I die, I want to rest upon your graceful mountains so free
For that is where God will look for me

Kentucky
I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky
I miss the hound dogs chasin’ coons
I know that
My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me
Kentucky
I will be coming soon

Kentucky

Let It Be Me

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me

Don’t take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always---let--it—be--me
