- Ain't It Funny
The sun comes up and brings the dawn turn to day
The kids run out to play the game like kids all play
To child the world is milk and honey a dime is a lot a can be money
Oh ain't it funny now ain't it funny
Running barefoot through the fields in the rain
Chasin' pretty butterflies in the lane
The world's a mess and they wonder why oh what a pretty blue blue sky
- Are You Online
Are you online?
Are you online?
Are you online I've been waiting for a sign
Are you online I've been waiting all the time
I'm in the chatroom so come and meet me soon
I've got to get this message through
I'm waiting for you
- Before I'm Over You
I just can't get it through my head you love another now instead
Can't make myself believe we're really through
I'm walkin' up and down the hall talkin' to the silent wall
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you
I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm goin' crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep lovin' you the same
- Coal miner's daughter
Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar
My daddy worked all night in the Van Leer coal mine
And all day long in the field a' hoeing corn
- Country Christmas
Mommie pop the popcorn and we string it on the tree
Apples nuts and candy oh what a Christmas feel
Daddy play the organ and we'll all sing Silent Night
We'll have a good old country Christmas alright
A good old country Christmas that's what it's gonna be
With all the family gathered round our pretty Christmas tree
We'll open up our presents Christmas Eve about midnight
- Cry Cry Cry
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
I think you only live to see the lights uptown
I wasted my time when I would try try try
Cause when the lights have lost their glow you'll cry cry cry
Soon your sugar babies will all be gone
You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye bye bye
When I turn around and I walk away you'll cry cry cry
- Don't Come Home A Drinkin'
Well you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
But liquor and love that just don't mix leave a bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
Cause if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
- Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Hezekiah
He walked with God both day and night but he didn't wanna die
He cried, "Oh Lord, please let me live, death is close, I know"
God smiled down on Hezekiah and gave him fifteen years to go
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord, I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna die
- Fist City
A you've been a-makin' your brags around town
That you've been a lovin' my man
But the man I love, when he picks up trash
He puts it in a garbage can
And that's what a you look like to me
And what I see's a pity
You better close your face and stay outta my way
If you don't wanna go to fist city
- Happy Birthday
Well I know where you're going and who's gonna meet you there
I know how late you'll be coming home but guess who doesn't care
Tonight I'll step out too and since I won't be here
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
My best wishes may be early but I'm not sticking around
To bake a cake for your birthday while you're out turnin' around
She can help you celebrate may she bring you lots of cheer
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
- Hey, Loretta
Well goodbye tubs and clothes lines goodbye pots and pans
I'm a gonna take a greyhound bus as further as I can
I ain't a gonna wash no windows and I ain't a gonna scrub no floors
And when you realize I'm gone I'm a gonna hear you roar
And you'll say hey Loretta I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta don't leave me alone
Hey Loretta I swear I'm a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home
- High On A Mountain Top
[Chorus:]
High on a mountain top
We live, we love, and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what they got
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
Where the rest of the world's
- I Believe
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for every one who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe 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 new born baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
- I Feel Like Traveling On
My heavenly home is bright and fair I feel like traveling on
No pain nor death can inner there I feel like traveling on
Yes I feel like traveling on I feel like traveling on
My heavenly home is bright and fair I feel like traveling on
Its glittering towers the sun outshines I feel like traveling on
That heavenly mansion shall be mine I feel like traveling on
Yes I feel like traveling on...
The Lord has been so good to me I feel like traveling on
- I Wanna Be Free
Well, I look out the window and what do I see
The breeze is a blowin' the leaves from the trees
Everything is free everything but me
I'm gonna take this chain from around my finger
Throw it just as far as I can slinger
'Cause I want to be free
When my baby left me everything died
But a little bluebird's a singin' just outside
- I'll Still Be Missing You
I'll still be missing you
Just as long as the sun shines through
No matter what I do, I'll still be missing you
I told myself when I walked out your door
Don't look back you don't need him anymore
Out there somewhere a new world you're gonna find
So walk away and leave the rest of time
I'll still be missing you
- I'm A Gettin' Ready To Go
I get down on my knees
Everyday and I pray
These tears I'm a cryin' are tears of joy
'Cause it wash my sins away.
I'm a livin' for the Lord
And I want everybody to know
This old world's just my dressin' room
- If You're Not Gone Too Long
I'm gonna wipe these teardrops from my eyes
There ain't no use for me to cry
And there's some things I think I need to say
I'll think about you every day every day while you're away
I'll be true to you honey while you're gone if you're not gone too long
But if you're gone for a year or two it may be too long for me to be true
I might find somebody else cause I get lonesome by myself
- In The Garden
I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear the son of God discloses
And he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there none other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of his voice is so sweet that the birds hush their singing
And the melody that he gave to me within my heart is ringing
And he walks with me
- It's Another World
It's another world when I'm with you
Roses everywhere blue skies up above everybody is in love
It's another world when I'm with you and that's where I wanna be
Never a day goes by when I'm blue there's no tears in my eyes when I'm with you
It's another world when I'm with you
Nights are made for love days are never long nothing nothing can go wrong
It's another world when I'm with you and that's where I wanna be

- Love Is The Foundation
I've seen him as he awakens in the morning
He reaches out his hand and without a word
As his fingers softly fall upon my face
He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him
And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When he gives me more loving
- Out of My Head and Back in My Bed
Lyin' alone in this big old bed
I got you on my mind
I said when you left
I could make it by myself
But it gets harder all the time
And I can't take it no more
I see your face
Every time I close my eyes
- Precious Memories
Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
And the sacred scenes unfold.
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
- Success
We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
You told me of the big things you had planned
It wasn't long 'til all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you
You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
- The Pill
You wined me and dined me
When I was your girl
Promised if I'd be your wife
You'd show me the world
But all I've seen of this old world
Is a bed and a doctor bill
I'm tearin' down your brooder house
'Cause now I've got the pill
- This Haunted House
I watched you leave that's how I know you're gone
But this heart of mine keeps telling me I'm wrong
I see your face before me every night
In this haunted house when I turn off the light
Sometimes I hear you walk across the floor
And my arms reach out to hold you like before
I live for all the things we used to do
- Tippy Toeing
Well mama go a tippy tippy toein' through the house
Gotta see what's the matter with the baby
It's been a bawlin' and a squallin' and a kickin' on the wall
Well I guess it's dropped its little bottle maybe
Oh daddy come a runnin' with the water and a rag
Gonna need another little diaper maybe
No need a hesitatin' or a wonderin' and a waitin' I know what's the matter with baby
Oh mama rock a baby daddy rock a baby too
- When Lonely Hits Your Heart
Here I am a doing things I said I'd never do
But that's before my baby said we're through
It was on that tragic day the hurtin' got its start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
I've become a fallen girl for the love of a man
The same old thing goes on and on it's more than I can stand
To him it just don't matter but it's tearin' me apart
- Who'll Help Me Get Over You
I'll help you get over your old love who'll help me get over you
I furnished the shoulder you cried on when she hurt you by turning you down
You still come to me when you're lonely I love you so I've stayed around
I'll help you get over your old love now my heart is breaking in two
I'll help you get over your lost love who'll help me get over you
[ piano - steel ]
Your heart keeps on searching for someone so I caught you when she let you fall
- Wings of a Dove
On the wings of a snow white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
Sign from above (sign from above )
On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)
When troubles surround us, when evils come
Oh, the body grows weak (body grows weak)
And the spirit grows numb (spirit grows numb)
When these things beset us, He doesn't forget us
- World Of Forgotten People
I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine
Well I've loved and I'd been loved but I had the reckless heart
And the many dreams I had are torn apart
Now I find out I was wrong too late I'm all alone
- Yesterday Will Come Again Tonight
I make my way through every day just because it's there
I've learned to live without your love but I can't learn not to care
And all the hurt I left for you won't make my wrong turn right
Oh yesterday will come again tonight
Little bits and pieces that once made up our home
Come back to visit with my mind each night when I'm alone
Oh round and round my mem'ries go they're never out of sight
Oh yesterday will come again tonight
- You wanna give me a lift
Well, I'm game for just about anything
But the game you've named I ain't gonna play
You say you take a little drink and we'll go for a ride on a star
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far.
That happy pill you're takin' you say is a little weak
And you wanna give me one so you say I won't go to sleep
Well your hands're a gettin' friendly but I know exactly where they are
- You're Lookin' At Country
Well, I like my lovin' done country style
And this little girl would walk a country mile
To find her a good ol' slow talkin' country boy
I said a country boy
I'm about as old fashioned as I can be
And I hope you're lik'in what you see
'Cause if you're lookin' at me
You're lookin' at country
- Your squaw is on the warpath
Well your pet name for me is squaw
When you come home a drinkin' and can barely crawl
And all that lovin' on me won't make things right
Well you're leavin' me at home to keep the tee pee clean
