1. _ All I Can Do
It's all i can do to keep from falling in love with you
All i can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all i can do to keep from falling in love with you
All i can do to keep from telling you so
I wasn't looking for love when i found you
Just someone to be with and have a good time
But i get these strange funny feelings around you
When you're not with me, you're still on my mind
And it's all i can do to keep from falling in love with you
All i can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all i can do to keep from falling in love with you
All i can do to keep from telling you so
I had intended to wait for a long time
I thought that love would just mess up my plans
'cause i had big plans for a bright shining future
Could this be my future that's holding my hand
And it's all i can do to keep from falling in love with you
All i can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all i can do to keep from falling in love with you
All i can do to keep from telling you so
I need to tell you how i feel about you
But i'm so afraid that you don't feel the same
But if i don't tell you how i feel about you
I just might lose you, can i take that chance
And it's all i can do to keep from falling in love with you
All i can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all i can do to keep from falling in love with you
All i can do to keep from telling you so

2. _ Jolene
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And i cannot compete with you, jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing i can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, jolene
And i can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, jolene
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But i could never love again
He's the only one for me, jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, jolene
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, jolene

3. _ Heartbreaker
Here i sit all alone, thinkin' 'bout what i should have known
You made me think that i could need you
You weaved your magic spell and i believed you
Lookin back on you and me, promises that will never be
I truly thought we were lovers
But now i find that i'm just like all the others
Heartbreaker, wish that i had seen that love was blind
Sweet little love maker, takin my heart and leave me behind
Heartbreaker couldn't you be
Just a little more kind to me
Played with fire, felt its burn
I would have thought that i would have learned
I melted every time you kissed me
Every time you'd leave i thought that you would miss me
Heartbreaker, wish that i had seen that love was blind
Sweet little love maker, takin' my heart and leave me behind
Heartbreaker couldn't you be
Just a little more kind to me

4. _ Coat Of Many Colors
Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And i didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That i was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And i just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
Chorus:
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But i wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as i could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
And oh i couldn't understand it
For i felt i was rich
And i told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And i told 'em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it
And i tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now i know we had no money
But i was rich as i could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

5. _ We Used To
Mmm....
We used to walk through fields of green
We used to sit by clear blue streams
We used to be so happy
Me and you
We used to do such silly things
We used to make love in the rain
We used to
Yes, we used to
Then you went away
Leaving me with the memories we made
Memories of those sweet yesterdays
Spent with you
Spent with you
And even though you're gone
I still think so often of you
And the things that we no longer do
Like we used to
Oh we used to
We used to be so much in love
We used to kiss and hold and touch
We used to find so many things to do
We used to laugh and plan and dream
We used to own the world it seemed
We used to
Yes we used to
Then you went away
Leaving me with the memories we made
Memories of those sweet yesterdays
Spent with you
Spent with you
Oh and even though you're gone
I still think so often of you
And the things that we no longer do
Like we used to
Oh we used to
La...mmm....
Ahh....

6. _ The Seeker
Chorus:
I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than i am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Won't you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
'cause i am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way
I am a vessel that's empty and useless
I am a bad seed that fell by the way
I am a loser that wants to be a winner
And you are my last hope
Don't turn me away
Chorus:
I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than i am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Won't you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me, lord
In the shelter of your care each day
'cause i am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way
Oh, i know you are a mountain
From which there flows a fountain
So let it's water wash my sins away
'cause i am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way

7. _ Joshua
Well a good ways down the railroad track
There was this little old rundown shack
And in it lived a man i'd never seen
Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man
And you better not set foot on his land
I didn't think nobody could be that mean
So i took me out walking down the railroad track
I was a-gonna go down to that little old shack
And just find out if all them things i'd heard was true
There was a big black dog laying out in the yard
And it growled at me and i swallowed hard
And i heard somebody say well who are you
Oh and there he stood in the door of that shack
His beard and his hair was long and black
And he was the biggest man i'd ever seen
When he spoke his voice was low and deep
But he just didn't frighten me
'cause somehow i just knew he wasn't mean
He said what you doing snooping 'round my place
And i saw a smile come across his face
So i smiled back and i told him who i was
He said come on in and pull you up a chair
You might as well since you already here
And he said you can call me joshua
Joshua joshua
Whatcha doing living here all alone
Joshua joshua
Ain't you got nobody to call your own
No no no no
We talked 'til the sun was clean out of sight
And we still talking when it come daylight
And there was just so much we had to say hey
I'd spent my life in an orphan's home
And just like him i was all alone
So i said yeah when he asked if i'd stay
Oh we grew closer as time went on
And that little old shack it was a happy home
And we just couldn't help but fall in love
That big black dog and that little old shack
Sitting down by the railroad track
It's plenty good enough for me and joshua
Joshua joshua
Why you're just what i've been looking for
Joshua joshua
You ain't gonna be lonesome anymore
No no
Yodel-a-he-ho
Me and joshua
Me and joshua
Me and joshua yeah yeah

9. _ Love Is Like A Butterfly
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
I feel it when you're with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that i feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle
Your kiss is warm and tender
Whenever i am with you i think of butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Your laughter brings me sunshine
Everyday is spring time
And i am only happy when you are by my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious, sweet and rare
Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

10. _ Wings Of A Dove
When troubles surround us, when evils come
The body grows weak
The spirit grows numb
When these things beset us, god doesn't forget us
He sends us his love
Chorus:
On the wings of a snow-white dove
He sends his pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove
When jesus went down through the river that day
Well, he was baptised in the usual way
And when it was done
God blessed his son
He sent him his love
On the wings of a dove

12. _ The Bargain Store
My life is like unto a bargain store
And i may have just what you're lookin' for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
But with a little mending it could be as good as new
Why you take for instance this old broken heart
If you will just replace the missing parts
You would be surprised to find how good it really is
Take it and you never will be sorry that you did
The bargain store is open come inside
You can easily afford the price
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise
And i will guarantee you'll be completely satisfied
Take these old used memories from the past
And these broken dreams and plans that didn't last
I'll trade them for a future, i can't use them anymore
I've wasted love but i still have some more
The bargain store is open come inside
You can easily afford the price
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise
And i can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied
My life is like unto a bargain store
And i may have just what you're lookin' for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
With a little mendin' it could be as good as new
The bargain store is open, come inside
The bargain store is open, come inside

But you've got the right to speak your mind

All you have to do to make it right is just
Chorus:
Touch your woman

Everything's gonna be alright

Let me know, let me know everything's alright
There are times when i should be strong
When i'm awfully weak
When the sudden blows of life have brought me to my knees
Woman needs a helpin' hand
Needs someone to understand
Needs the man she loves to help her stand, so
Repeat chorus

You lay by my side
You know exactly what it takes to keep me satisfied
You know exactly what i need and i always go to sleep in peace
Thanking god that you belong to me, so

14. _ Light Of A Clear Blue Morning
It's been a long dark night
And i've been a waitin' for the morning
It's been a long hard fight
But i see a brand new day a dawning
I've been looking for the sunshine
'cause i ain't seen it in so long
But everything's gonna work out just fine
Everything's gonna be all right
That's been all wrong
'cause i can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
It's been a long long time
Since i've known the taste of freedom
And those clinging vines
That had me bound, well i don't need 'em
'cause i am strong and i can prove it
And i got my dreams to see me through
It's just a mountain, i can move it
And with faith enough there's nothing i can't do
And i can see the light of a clear blue morning
And i can see the light of brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
Yes i can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
'cause i can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Yes i can see the light of a clear blue morning
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
I can see the light
I can see the light
It's gonna be all right

15. _ Me And Little Andy
Late one cold and stormy night i heard a dog a' barkin'
Then i thought i heard somebody at my door a' knockin'
I wondered who could be outdide in such an awful storm
Then i saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms
Before i could say a word she said, 'my name is sandy
And this here is my puppy dog, it's name is little andy'
Standing in the bitter cold in just a ragged dress
Then i asked her to come in and this is what she said
Chorus:
Ain't ya got no gingerbread
Ain't ya got no candy
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little andy
Patty cake and bakersman
My mommy ran away again
And we was all alone and didn't know what else to do
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you
Giddy up trotty horse, going to the mill
Can we stay all night
If you don't love us no one will
I promise we won't cry
London bridge is fallin' down
My daddy's drunk again in town
And we was all alone and didn't know what we could do
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you
She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven
But that night as they slept the angels took them both to heaven
God knew little andy would be lonesome with her gone
Now sandy and her puppy dog won't ever be alone
Ain't ya got no gingerbread
Ain't ya got no candy
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little (whispers) andy

16. _ My Tennessee Mountain Home
Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
Watch the kids a' playin' with june bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
Chorus:
In my tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by
Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings
An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody
Repeat chorus
Walkin' home from church on a sunday with the one ya' love
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands
Repeat chorus

Well, i would only be in your way
And so i'll go, and yet i know
That i'll think of you each step of my way
And i will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all i have, and all i'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
'cause we both know that i'm not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And i hope life, will treat you kind
And i hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, i do wish you joy

18. _ Just Because I'm A Woman
I can see you're disappointed
By the way you look at me
And i'm sorry that i'm not
The woman you thought i'd be
Yes, i've made my mistakes
But listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because i'm a woman
So when you look at me
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Just think of all the shame
You might have brought somebody else
Just let me tell you this
Then we'll both know where we stand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because i'm a woman
Now a man will take a good girl
And he'll ruin her reputation
But when he wants to marry
Well, that's a different situation
He'll just walk off and leave her
To do the best she can
While he looks for an angel
To wear his wedding band
Now i know that i'm no angel
If that's what you thought you'd found
I was just the victum of
A man that let me down
Yes, i've made my mistakes
But listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because i'm a woman
No, my mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because i'm a woman

I really got the feeling that i'll love you for a long long time
I felt it from the moment we met you didn't ask me my sign
I love my daddy but it really don't matter what my daddy might say
I really got the feeling that i'll love you 'til my dying day
You're a gentle man
And a gentle man is getting mighty hard to find these days
And you're a tender man
And you're man enough to show your love and tender ways
I really got the feeling that i'll love you for a long long time
I felt it from the moment we met you didn't ask me my sign
I love my daddy but it really don't matter what my daddy might say
I really got the feeling that i'll love you 'til my dying day
I love those silly things you do
You make me feel once more like an innocent child of two
I really got the feeling that i'll love you for a long long time
I felt it from the moment we met you didn't ask me my sign
I love my daddy but it really don't matter what my daddy might say

Here you come again
Just when i'm about to make it work without you
You waltz right in the door
Just like you done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when i'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon i'm wonderin'
How i came to doubt you
All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses
Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body
Has a right to
An' shakin' me up so
That all i really know
Is here you come again
An' here i go
All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses
Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body
Has a right to
An' shakin' me up so
That all i really know
Is here you come again
An' here i go

Here i go
An' here i go
An' here i go
Here you come again
An' here i go
Here i go
