LYRICS ************************ Amos Moses by Jerry Reed Well Amos Moses was a Cajun, He lived by himself in the swamp. He hunted alligators for a livin, He just knocked 'em in the head with a stump. The Louisiana law gonna get ya Amos It ain't legal hunting alligators down in the swamp, boy Well everybody blamed his old man, For makin' him mean as a snake, When Amos Moses was a boy, His daddy would use him for alligator bait. Tie a rope around his neck, and throw him in the swamp, Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana Lived a man named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna hey raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries, Named him after a man of the cloth, Called him Amos Moses Well, the folks around south Louisiana Said Amos was a hell of a man He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator And just use one hand That's all he's got left cause an alligator bit him Left arm gone clean up to the elbow Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos Was in the swamp huntin' alligator skins So he snuck in the swamp, gonna getcha boy, But he never come out again. Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to? You can sure get lost in a Louisiana bayou! About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana Lived a man named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna They raised a son who could eat up his weight in groceries, Named him after a man of the cloth, Called him Amos Moses ----------------------------------------------------------- "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" by Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man We get together every time we can. The Mississippi River can't keep us apart There's too much love in the Mississippi heart. Too much love in this Louisiana heart. See the alligators all a waitin' nearby Sooner or later they know I'm gonna try. When she waves from the bank don't you know I know It's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago. With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side The Mississippi River don't look so wide. Louisiana woman, Mississippi man We get together every time we can. The Mississippi River can't keep us apart There's too much love in the Mississippi heart. Too much love in this Louisiana heart. Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had Till I was wrapped In the arms of a Mississippi man. When he holds me close it feels almost Like another hurricane just ripped the coast. If he can't come to me I'm gonna go to him That Mississippi River Lord I'm gonna swim. Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man We get together every time we can. The Mississippi River can't keep us apart There's too much love in the Mississippi heart. Too much love in this Louisiana heart. Well, Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide And I'm gotta get me to the other side. Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind Gotta have your loving one more time. I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go Too bad alligatior you swim too slow. Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man We get together every time we can. The Mississippi River can't keep us apart There's too much love in the Mississippi heart. Too much love in this Louisiana heart. There's too much love in the Mississippi heart. Too much love in this Louisiana heart. There's too much love in the Mississippi heart. Too much love in this Louisiana heart. There's too much love in the Mississippi heart Too much love in this Louisiana heart... ----------------------------------------------------------- "Hey Good Lookin`" by Hank Williams Hey, hey, good lookin', Whatcha got cookin'? How's about cookin' somethin' up with me? Hey, sweet baby, Don't you think maybe We could find us a brand new recipe? I got a hot-rod Ford and a two-dollar bill And I know a spot right over the hill. There's soda pop and the dancin's free, So if you wanna have fun come a-long with me. Hey, good lookin', Whatcha got cookin'? How's about cookin' somethin' up with me? I'm free and ready, So we can go steady. How's about savin' all your time for me? No more lookin', I know I've been tooken. How's about keepin' steady company? I'm gonna throw my date-book over the fence And find me one for five or ten cents. I'll keep it 'til it's covered with age 'Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page. Hey, good lookin', Whatcha got cookin'? How's about cookin' somethin' up with me? ----------------------------------------------------------- "Queen of Hearts" by Juice Newton Midnight, and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise; Won't you keep my heart from breaking if it's only for a very short time Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smart The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you Laying out another lie, thinking 'bout a life of crime That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you Honey, you know it makes you mad Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done Baby, I know it makes you sad But when they're handing out the heartaches you know you got to have you some Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smart The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you Lovers, I know you've had a few But hide your heart beneath the covers and tell 'em they're the only one And others, they know just what I'm going through And it's a-hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smart The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smart The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you Playing with the queen of hearts Playing with the queen of hearts.. Playing with the queen of hearts... ----------------------------------------------------------- "The Letter That Johnny Walker Read” by Asleep At The Wheel Lyrics coming soon ----------------------------------------------------------- "One Step Forward" by Desert Rose Band You held me up held me down Made me crazy then you brought me around Were my darkness and my light You were my blindness and my sight Were my shelter and my storm Made me cold then you made me warm You were my fever and my cure Made me doubt and you made me sure One step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last You were my hope and my fears You were my laughter and my tears Were my destiny and my fate Kept me movin' you made me wait Were my weakness and my power You were the thorn and the flower You were my sunshine and the rain Made me feel so good brought so much pain Now one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last And we never really meant for each other We were never really meant to last In the years that we danced together Each step forward we took two steps back Each step forward we took two steps back Now one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last One step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last ----------------------------------------------------------- "Crazy" by Willie Nelson I'm crazy Crazy for feeling so lonely I'm crazy Crazy for feeling so blue I know You'd love me as long as you wanted Then someday Leave me for somebody new Worry Why do I let myself worry Wondering What in the world did I do Crazy For thinking that my love could hold you I'm crazy for crying I'm crazy for trying I'm crazy for loving you ----------------------------------------------------------- "Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray" by Patsy Cline Two cigarettes in an ashtray, My love and I in a small café. Then a stranger came along, And everything went wrong. Now there's three cigarettes in the ashtray. I watched her take him from me, And his love is no longer my own. Now they are gone, and I sit alone, And watch one cigarette burn away. I watched her take him from me, And his love is no longer my own. Now they are gone, and I sit alone, And watch one cigarette burn away. ----------------------------------------------------------- "Make the World go away" by Mickey Gilley Make the world go away Get it off my shoulder Say the things we used to say And make the world, make it go away Do you remember when you loved me Before the world took you away Well if you do, then forgive me And make the world, make it go away Make the world go away Get it off my shoulder Say the things we used to say And make the world, make it go away Now I'm sorry if I hurt you Let me make it up to you day by day And if you will please forgive me And make the world, make it go away Make the world go away Get it off my shoulder Say the things we used to say And make the world, make it go away ----------------------------------------------------------- “Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys” by Ed Bruce Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold. They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold. Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis, And each night begins a new day. If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young, He'll probably just ride away. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks. Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. 'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone. Even with someone they love. Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings, Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night. Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do, Sometimes won't know how to take him. He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him, Do things to make you think he's right. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks. Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. 'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone. Even with someone they love. ----------------------------------------------------------- "Always Wanting You" by Merle Haggard Always wanting you, but never having you, Makes it hard to face tomorrow. 'Cause I know I'll wake up wanting you again. Always loving you, but never touching you, Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand. I'd been better off if I'd turned away, And never looked at you the second time. 'Cause I really had my life all together, 'Til your eyes meet mine. And there I saw a yearning, And a feeling across the room that you felt for me. Wish I'd had away of knowing. The things we had in mind could never be. Always wanting you, but never having you, Makes it hard to face tomorrow. 'Cos I know I'll wake up wanting you again. Always loving you, but never touching you, Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand. Always wanting you, but never having you, Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand. ----------------------------------------------------------- "All My Exes Live In Texas" by Whitey Shafer All my ex's live in Texas, And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be. But all my ex's live in Texas And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee. Rosanna's down in Texarcana, wanted me to push her broom, And sweet Ilene's in Abilene, she forgot I hung the moon, And Allison in Galveston somehow lost her sanity, And Dimples, who now lives in Temple's, Got the law lookin’ for me. All my ex's live in Texas, And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be. But all my ex's live in Texas, And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee. I remember that old Frio river where I learned to swim. And it brings to mind another time where I wore my welcome thin. My transcendental meditation, I go there each night, But I always come back to myself Long before daylight. All my ex's live in Texas, And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be. But all my ex's live in Texas And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee. Some folks think I'm hidin', It's been rumored that I died, But I'm alive and well in Tennessee. ----------------------------------------------------------- "I Love a Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbit Well, I love a rainy night I love a rainy night I love to hear the thunder Watch the lightning When it lights up the sky You know it makes me feel good Well, I love a rainy night It's such a beautiful sight I love to feel the rain On my face Taste the rain on my lips In the moonlight shadow Showers washed All my cares away I wake up to a sunny day 'Cos I love a rainy night Yeah, I love a rainy night Well, I love a rainy night Well, I love a rainy night Ooh-ooh I love a rainy night I love a rainy night I love to hear the thunder Watch the lightning When it lights up the sky You know it makes me feel good Well, I love a rainy night It's such a beautiful sight I love to feel the rain On my face To taste the rain on my lips In the moonlight shadows Puts a song In this heart of mine Puts a smile on my face every time 'Cos I love a rainy night Yeah, I love a rainy night Ooh, I love a rainy night Yeah, I love a rainy night ----------------------------------------------------------- "New York City" by The Statler Brothers She came to me shortly after Christmas, Said she hated spoiling New Year's Eve. But the truth doesn't wait to come in season And what we had feared was now believed She said she'd leave come Monday morning, Catch a plane if I'd split the fair. She had friends who lived in New York City. She'd look them up and have the baby there. And now she's alone in New York City, Living like… Lord, I wonder how. An angel in hell in New York City, But I can't think about that now. Honey, will you tell him Bible stories And give him all the love I never could? And never tell him too much about his daddy 'Cause there's not too much to say that's good. He'll have to learn it all from his mother: How to count and say his ABC's. But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime, Leave off "God bless Daddy," won't you please? And now they're alone in New York City, Living like Lord… I wonder how. Two angels in hell in New York City, But I can't think about that now. I can't think about that now. ----------------------------------------------------------- "Bed of Roses" by The Statler Brothers She was called a scarlet woman by the people, Who would go to church but left me in the street, With no parents of my own, I never had a home, And an eighteen year old boy has got to eat. She found me outside one Sunday morning, Taking money from a man I didn't know, She took me in and wiped away my childhood, A woman of the streets this Lady Rose. This bed of roses that I lay on, Where I was taught to be a man, This bed of roses where I'm living, Is the only kind of love I understand. She was a handsome woman, just thirty-four, Who was spoken to in town by very few. She managed a late evening business, Like most of the town wished they could do. And I learned all the things that a man should know, From a woman not approved of I suppose, But she died knowing that I really loved her, Off life's bramble bush,I picked a rose. ************************ 5.
