I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self pity
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the dreary streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known

Now listen honey while I say
How can you fix your mind to tell me you're going away

Don't say that we must part
Don't break my aching heart
You know you love me
Through for many years
Love u night and day

Well good morning baby, hmm welcome back to town.
Well good morning baby, welcome back to town.
You doing so much travellin', never know when you'll be round.

Yes you a fine mella' fella, but you stubbord as a mule.
You love me like an angel, but you treat me like a fool.
Oh face it daddy, don't wanna have me no double cross,
'cos any time i'm ready, i can tell you baby get lost.

I've been in every bar,
Been in every honky-tonk,
Been tryin' to find my daddy
With that broke down piece o' junk!
Ask everyone to help me,
Cried, "Help me if you can;
you'll lnow my daddy,
He's that trombone playin' man!

Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you
And I am oh, so blue
He has tossed us aside
And, like you, gardenia
Once I was near her heart
After the teardrops start
Where are teardrops to hide?

Baby, if you love me
Then show me that you care
Yes, baby, if you love me
Then please show me that you care
'Cause every time I need you
You make darn sure that you're not there

Don't drift too far, daddy

Call me irresponsible,
Yes I'm unreliable,
Throw in undependable too!
Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Well I'm not too clever, I just adore you!

Call me unpredictable,
Tell me I'm impractical,

I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, I say

I say I'll go through fire

Now you say you're lonely
Said you cried the whole night through
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you

Oohhh
Now you say you're sorry

When I looked around, I felt so low down
To find you in someone else's arms
Well, what could I do or what could I say?
But do you really want it that way?

If being untrue meant that much to you
I'm certain our love has lost its charm
Oh, how could you be unfair to me?

Hush now--don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain

Quiet--don't explain
What is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick

Drinking again and thinking of when, when you loved me
I'm having a few and wishing that you were here
Making the rounds, accepting a round from a strangers
Being a fool just hoping that you'll appear

Sure, I can borrow a smoke
Maybe tell some joker a bad joke
But nobody laughs

Everybody loves my baby
But my baby don't love nobody but me
Nobody but me
Yes
Everybody wants my baby
But my baby don't want nobody but me
That's plain to see!

I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me
Yes, I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me
I'll empty your pockets and fill you with misery
I've got men to the left, men to the right
Men every day and men every night
I've got so many men, mmm, I don't know what to do
So I'm tellin' you, daddy, I ain't no good to you
I've got men in the east, men in the west

Goodmorning heatache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed 'til it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems I met you when my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Goodmorning heartache, what's new?

I'll never forget you. I'll never forget you.
I'll never forget how we promised one day
To love one another forever that way.
We said we'd never say goodbye.
But that was long ago, now you've forgotten I know.
No use to wonder why.
Let's say farewell with a sigh, and let love die.
But we'll go on living our own way of living.

I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows
And I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
Yes I believe, oh I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry

When I was trying...When I was trying....
Everything I could to satisfy him...

When I won't lookin
When I won't Lookin...
Some no good woman came and took him!

I had to cry...cause I just couldn't stand it no more!

I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight

I wanna be kissed until I tingle
I wanna be kissed starting tonight
Embrace until our heartbeats intermingle

I want to cry
When I hear your name,
Though time goes by,
I still feel the same!
I want to cry
For dreams we might have shared,
Though I know
You never have cared!

I'm thru with love,
I'll never fall again.
Said I do to love,
Don't ever call again.
For I must have you
Or no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.

Now, I'm flyin' high but I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you
Mama, you caught my eye and I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Show me the ring and I'll jump right through

I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o
Now I'm a tingle over you
Hey, Mister Parson stand by, but I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'

You and your smile
Hold strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shared our dreams
Oh, Lord, but where?
Time after time
In a room full of strangers
Out of the blue

You and your smile
hold strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shared our dreams,
ohh but where?
Time after time
in a room full of strangers
out of the blue

Why do I tell myself these things that happen
Are all really true
When in my heart I know
The magic is my love for you

You sign the song begins
You speak and I hear violins, it's magic
The stars, desert the skies

Don't even go to a movie show
If you're not by my side,
I stay home by my radio,
But I'm satisfied!
All my flirtin' days are gone,
On the level from now on!

Don't go for any excitement now,

I'm tired of running
From town to town
Now I'm ready to stop, y'all
And settle down

Cause it's a life of misery
When you're alone
And I've got to have somebody

I got a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
I have a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
His name is Doctor Long John
and he answers every call.

You know, I went to Long John's office.
I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing me."
I went to Long John's office.

On the day I was born said my father, said he
I've an elegant legacy waiting for ye
'Tis a rhyme for your lips and a song for your heart
To sing whenever the world falls apart

Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow

When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop I open shop

When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town
That her smile becomes a smirk, I go to work

Love is the sweetest thing
What else on earth could ever bring
Such happiness to ev'rything
As Love's old story.

Love is the strangest thing
No song of birds upon the wing
Shall in our hearts more sweetly sing

I'll take Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten Island, too
It's lovely going through
The zoo
It's very fancy
On old Delancy Street, you know
The subway charms us so
When balmy breezes blow to and fro

"Stay away from me 'cause I'm in my sin.
Stay away from me 'cause I'm in my sin.
If this place gets raided, it's just me and my gin.

Don't try me nobody, oh, you will never win.
Don't try me nobody 'cause you will never win.
I'll fight the army, navy just me and my gin.

You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You ain't never been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".

I always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye.

There ain't nothin' I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm gonna do what I want to anyway
And I don't care just what people say

If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do

Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'
Oh, nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Well, if I only had my way
Don't you know the graveyard would be the place
My man would lay
Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year, forever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
They're all just passing fancies
That in time may go

Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay

Relax, Max
Your nerves are just like jumpin' jacks, Max
Your heart is thumpin' with a crazy sound
Hear it pound
Bumpin', bumpin', bumpin'
Jumpin' up and down

Stay cool, fool

I wanna rich man; all you poor men have got to go
Yes, I wanna rich man; all you poor men have got to go
I want my breakfast in bed and a butler to open my door

He must have everything I need, plus that good old jelly roll
Yes, he must have everything I need, plus that good old jelly roll
He's got to have furs and diamond rings to satisfy my soul

Woke up this morning, 't was a fine sunny day
I said daddy please stay, but he had to run away
Cause he was busy, busy makin' lots of gold
So I told him, better have some fun before you're old

You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
With money in the bank
You'll be the fattest cat

Ooh, It's almost two and I'm sitting here
Wishing that I could see you
That's why I'm drinking again
And thinking of when you loved me
I'm having a few, and wishing that you were here

I'm making the rounds, and buying the rounds, for strangers
Yes, I'm being a fool, just hoping that you'll appear

i've gotta man
he treats me like a rat
i said i've gotta man
treats me like a rat
he gets me so worried i don't know where i'm at

papa, why you so salty
why do you bring me down

Short John is my doctor, and he sho' is good to me
Yes I'm puttin' on John down, Short John's my man and he sho' is good to me
When I treat him right, I get the whole treatment for free!

He examines me carefully, takes care of my ills
Yes he examines me carefully, and he takes care of my ills
Well he checks me all over, hen he gives me the right size pills!

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

Take me in your arms,
Before you take your love away,
Take me in your arms
Before we part.

Let me thrill again
To your carres of yesterday,
Let me fill again

Did you say I 've got a lot to learn?
Well, don't think, I'm tryin' not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Oh, teach me tonight!

Let's start with the ABC of it
Roll right down to the XWZ of it
Help me thaw the mistery of it

Our Father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as in heaven
Give us today
Our daily bread

A cigarette that bares a lipstick’s traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin’words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground’s painted swings
These foolish things

This - bitter earth
Well, What a fruit it bears
What good is love
Mmmmmmmm. That no one shares
And if my life - is like the dust
Oooh - That hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows

This love of mine goes on and on,
Tho' life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, tho' out of sight
It's lonesome through the day,
But oh! the night.

I cry my heart out it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.

If you want to have fun come home with me
You can stay all night and play with my TV
TV is the thing this year, this year
TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, now it's out of date
TV is the thing this year

Last night I was watching old Tom Nix

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable, thought near or far

Never before
has someone been more
Like a song of love that clings to me
how the thought of you does things to me

What a difference a day made, twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers where there use to be rain
My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
Oh, what a difference a day made
There's a rainbow before me

What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear

What can I say dear after I say I'm sorry,
What can I do to prove it to you that I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you-oo
If I didn't care I wouldn't feel like I do,
I was all wrong,
but right or wrong I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
