Million Dollar Quartet

Softly and tenderly jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me.
Patient and loving he

(words & music by faron young)
Oh, if you tell a lie
You know that i'll forgive you
Though you say our love is just a game
And when you hear my name
You'll say i'm from a strange world
But is it so strange to be in love with you

Is it so strange
That i love you more than all the world
Is it so strange
I have no eyes for any other girl

Oh won't you take me back
And say that you still love me
To waste a love like ours would be a sin
Let us kiss again
Let me hold you near
And take me from this strange world
That i'm living in

(words & music by blackwell - marascaleo)
'cause it's saturday nite and i just got paid
Fool about my money don't try to save
My heart says go, go
Have a time 'cause it's saturday nite
And i'm feelin' fine

I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna shake it up
I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And ball tonite

I got a date and i won't be late
Pick her up in my '88'
Shag it on down to the union hall
When the music starts jumpin'
I'll have a ball

Along about 10 i'll be flying high
Rocking on out into the sky
I don't care if i spend my gold
'cause tonite i'm gonna be one happy soul

(traditional - arranged by elvis presley)
(we'll understand it all by and by)
Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong

Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

(words & music by otis blackwell - elvis presley)
You know i can be found,
Sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
At least please telephone.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Baby, if i made you mad
For something i might have said,
Please, let's forget the past,
The future looks bright ahead,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

Don't stop thinking of me,
Don't make me feel this way,
Come on over here and love me,
You know what i want you to say.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart.

Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us say i do,
Then you'll know you'll have me,
And i'll know that i'll have you,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

(words & music by w. raskin - g. brown- f. fisher)
If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of a friend
That's when your heartaches begin
When dreams of a lifetime
Must come to an end
That's when your heartaches begin

Love is a thing
You never can share
If you bring a friend
Into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart,
That's the end of your friend
That's when your heartaches begin

There's no place like home
Well i say now home, home sweet home
There's no place like home
Wherever you wander
There's no place like home

Well i used to have a sweetheart
To walk and talk with me
But now i have no sweetheart
What pleasure do i see

There's no place like home
Well i say now home, home sweet home
There's no place like home
Wherever you wander
There's no place like home

There's no place like home

(words & music by chuck berry)
Salesman talking to me tried to run me up a creek

As you travel along on the jericho road

(elvis: i would take young johnny cash to do this)

Does the road seem all long and heavy your load
Just take it to christ your sins all confess
On the jericho road your heart he will bless

On the jericho road

I need jesus to guide me every day
As i'm travellin' along this rough and narrow way
Though afflictions fill my soul
I'm determined to make the goal
I've gotta have jesus 'cause i just can't make it by myself

Every day i pray (pray) pray (pray)
Pray (pray) pray (pray)
I pray (pray) pray (pray
Pray pray pray
Pray and ask the lord jesus
Don't leave me by myself

Every mornin' through the years i pray
You know i've got to have jesus
I just can't it by myself
By myself

(traditional)
... mm, stepping through the sinking sand
To the cross of calvary
Mm, let it be my prayer, dear lord, each day
To help me do the best i can
For there is no friend on whom i can depend
Blessed jesus, hold my hand.

Blessed jesus, hold my hand ...
Oh, yes, i need thee every hour
Through the this pilgrims land
Protect me by thy saving power
Please, hear my feeble plea
Oh, hoh, lord, please, tell me
I kneel in prayer, i try to meet you there
Blessed jesus, hold my hand, hold my hand.

(words & music by gilbert - lara)
You belong to my heart now and forever
We were there beneath the stars while a million guitars
Played our love song
When they said i love you
Every beat of my heart said it too

<spanish ?> do you remember
Darling you'll hear that song
And you'll always belong to my heart

(words & music by homer morris)
Well lordy i shall not be, i shall not be moved

Just like a tree that's growin' in the meadow (down by the water)

On my way to glory land i will not be moved
I'm like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved

I shall not be, i shall not be moved
I shall not be, i shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved

I shall not be, i shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved

Well i'm on my way to glory land and i shall not be moved
On my way to glory land i shall not be moved
I'm like a tree that's planted by the water

Just like a tree that's planted by the water

Just like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved
