- Cincinnati Lou
I got a little gal called Cincinnati Lou
I don't know nothing that she can't do
She can drink more beer than a 2-ton truck can haul
She's the bell of the ball
Cincinnati Lou
She's got a way of rolling them eyes
Makes me think of paradise
- Merle's Boogie Woogie
Bout twelve o'clock , gonna close the door
Can't nobody come, or nobody go
Got a boogie woogie feeling
Had it all night long
When I get that feeling
My momma won't let me come home
- Nine Pound Hammer
This nine pound hammer, it's a little too heavy
For my size, baby, for my size
I'm goin' on the mountain, gonna see my baby
But I ain't comin' back, well, I ain't comin' back
Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
Tell me, how can I roll, when the wheels won't go?
Roll on buddy, pull a load of coal
- Sixteen Tons
Some people say man's made out mud,
Well, a good man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, and skin and bones,
And mind that's weak and the back that's strong.
You load 16 tons,
And what do you get?
Another day older,
- So round so firm so fully packed
So round, so firm, so fully packed, that's my gal
So complete from front to back, that's my pal
Toasted by the sun and I'm a son-of-a-gun
If she don't make my five o'clock shadow come around at one
You can bet your boots I'd walk a mile through the snow
Just to see that toothpaste smile they mention on the radio
If you don't think she's a lot of fun, just ask the man that owns one
- Steel Guitar Rag
Been runnin' around, seen many a town,
and maybe you'll find I'm the kind of guy that brags.
But listen to me and see if you don't agree
No melody rolls like that old steel guitar rag
And when they slide that thing, along those strings
It sounds so dogone heavenly, you can hear the Angels sing
And when you stomp your feet, your heart will beat,
- Wildwood Flower
Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the myrtles so bright with emerald dew
The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue.
Oh, I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm ev'ry heart, in his crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming, idols were clay
All portions of love then had all flown away.
