I met a gal one night in town man she really knocked me down
Her hair was red her eyes were blue her talk was crazy through and through
Dig that crazy moon my love dig that crazy sky
Dig the stars that shine above cause you're my sweetie pie
We're gonna dig dig dig that crazy moon
Tonight's the night we're gonna cuddle and spoon
We're gonna dine and dance and then romance
Might even get hitched if we get a chance we're gonna dig dig dig that crazy moon

I know a man that lives all alone he must not have a friend in the world
For each night I hear him a walkin' the floor as he calls out the name of a girl
He's alone again tonight I can hear him a walkin' the floor
As he swears at the rain and cusses the pain he's alone again tonight

His room never shows no sign of life
His door stays locked and his window blinds tied
I've knocked on his door but he just get quiet he's alone again tonight

I WON'T HAVE TO CROSS JORDAN ALONE
Writer Thomas Ramsey and Charles E. Durham

When I come to the river at ending of day
When the last winds of sorrow have blown
There'll be somebody waiting to show me the way
For I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

So break out the bottle bring on the crowd
Just gather round me cause misery loves a company
I've just left my home friends where I couldn't sleep
For missin' a woman that I couldn't keep
She just walked out and left me for somebody else
Now her memory keeps hauntin' me when I'm by myself
So break out the bottle bring on the crowd
Tell funny stories turn the jukebox up loud

My name was Stranger on the night that we met
And then it was Sweetheart and it might have been yet
But my arms grew careless like a fear that they would
Now my arms are empty my lips are so cold and my name is Mud
My name is Mud my darling is gone
She won't even see me she won't even write me she won't even call
Oh they call me a cheater and they say I'm no good
And in any man's language my name is Mud

Skid Row Joe

Last night that's who I found, in the dirty part of town
Lost, forgotten with no place to go
Tormented with a bitter taste, outcast by the human race
A mask of torture was the face of Skid Row Joe

He walked up to where I stood on the street

Her eyes were blue, her hair was auburn
Her smile was like an angel, dear
She was her daddy's only daughter
On the Tennessee border

[Chorus: ]
One night, I took a ride, just across the line
I picked her up in a pickup truck

Carroll County's pointed out as kind of square
The biggest thing that happens is the county fair
And I guess that's why it seemed like such a big event
What we all call the Carroll County accident
The wreck was on the highway just inside the line
Walter Browning lost his life and for a time
It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die
But she lived long enough for her to testify
