1. _ Hey Jude
(words & music by john lennon - paul mccartney)
Hey jude, don't be a fool
Take a sad song and make it better
The minute you let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey jude, don't let me down
Take a sad song and make it better
The minute you let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Let it out and let in
Hey jude begin
To making the world a little better
Don't you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
In making the world a little better
Hey jude, don't let me down
Take a sad song and make it better
The minute you let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Let it out and let in
Hey jude begin
To making the world a little better
Don't you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
To taking the world upon your shoulder
Hey jude, don't let me down
Take a sad song and make it better
The minute you let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Na na na na na.....

2. _ Who Am I?
who am i?
(words & music by r. goodman)
When i think of how he came so far from glory
Came to dwell among the lowly such as i
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On mount calvary take my place
Then i ask myself this question
Who am i?
Who am i that the king would bleed and die for?
Who am i that he would pray not my will, thine lord?
The answer i may never know
Why he ever loved me so
That to an old rugged cross he'd go
For who am i?
When i'm reminded of his words
I'll leave you never
If you'll be true i'll give to you life forever
Oh i wonder what i could have done
To deserve god's only son
To fight my battles until they're won
For who am i?
Who am i that the king would bleed and die for
Who am i that he would pray not my will, thine lord
The answer i may never know
Why he ever loved me so
That to an old rugged cross he'd go
For who am i?
That to an old rugged cross he'd go, for who am i?

3. _ Without Love (there Is Nothing)
(words & music by danny small)
I awakened this morning, i was filled with despair
All my dreams turned to ashes and gone, oh yeah
As i looked at my life it was barren and bare
Without love i've had nothing at all
Without love i've had nothing
Without love i've had nothing at all
I have conquered the world
All but one thing did i have
Without love i've had nothing at all
Once i had a sweetheart who loved only me
There was nothing, oh that she would not give, oh no
But i was blind to her goodness and i could not see
That a heart without love cannot live
Without love i've had nothing
Without love i've had nothing at all
I have conquered the world
All but one thing did i have
Without love i've had nothing at all

4. _ Don't Cry Daddy
(words & music by scott davis)
Today i stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow still wet
From last night tears
And as i think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee-cup
Kept crying but
And ringing in my ears
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Why are children always first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true, but somehow
It just don't seem right
'cause ev'ry time i cry i know
It hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Oh, daddy, please don't cry

I'll be there when all your dreams are broken
To answer your unspoken prayer, oh....
When the little things you're doin', ooh, don't turn out right
Don't you worry darlin' i'll be there
There whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah!
So if your new love isn't your true love

There whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah!

7. _ Any Day Now
(words & music by b. bacharach - b. hilliard)
Any day now i will hear you say
Goodbye my love
You'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now i'll be all alone
Oh, oh, oh
Any day now, when your restless eyes
Meet someone new
To my sad surprise
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh
I know i shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay, yeah
Until you've gone forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay
Any day now
When the clock strikes go
You'll call it off
Then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, any day now
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, any day now
Don't fly away my beautiful bird
Don't fly away my beautiful bird

9. _ Wearin' That Loved-on Look
(words & music by dallas frazier - al owens)
I had to leave town for a little while,
You said you'd be good while i'm gone,
But the look in your eye dun told me you told a lie,
I know there's been some carryin' on.
Baby, you're wearin' that loved on look, shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop
Baby, you're wearin' that loved on look.
The ash trays are all full of ashes,
The floor needs a touch of the mop,
There's a man downstairs with a long bushy hair,
He said your party was a three day rock.
Baby, you're wearin' that loved on look, shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop
Baby, you're wearin' that loved on look.
Baby if you ever loved me,
Then bonnie and clyde loved the law,
Well a bird can't fly and i don't like apple pie,
And trees won't grow in arkansas.
Baby, you're wearin' that loved on look, shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop
Baby, you're wearin' that loved on look.
I had to leave town for a little while,
You said you'd be good while i'm gone,
But the look in your eye dun told me you told a lie,

10. _ It Keeps Right On A-hurtin'
(words & music by j. tillotson)
I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing i could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
And the pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my empty dreams instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin'
Since you're gone
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away i feel so lonely
And i can't help it, i don't think i can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
They say a man ain't supposed to cry
But when i see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
The pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my empty dreams instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away i feel so lonely
And i can't help it, i don't think i can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

11. _ Kentucky Rain
(words & music by eddie rabbit - dick heard)
Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone
Don't know why you'd run,
What you're running to or from
All i know is i want to bring you home
So i'm walking in the rain,
Thumbing for a ride
On this lonely kentucky backroad
I've loved you much too long
And my love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went wrong
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town
That i'll go walking thru
With the rain in my shoes,
Searchin for you
In the cold kentucky rain,
In the cold kentucky rain
Showed your photograph
To some old gray bearded man
Sitting on a bench
Outside a gen'ral store
They said "yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
Was it yesterday,
No, wait the day before
So i fin'ly got a ride
With a preacher man who asked
"where you bound on such a dark afternoon?"
As we drove on thru the rain
As he listened i explained
And he left me with a prayer
That i'd find you

12. _ This Is The Story
(words & music by arnold - morrow - martin)
I play the song, it was our own
Your photograph's by my side
I know i can't forget you
So i don't even try
The note you left is in my hand
I read again what you say
You're sorry but you love him
And you've both gone away
This is the story of a man
Whose world has fallen apart
And it's the story
That is breaking my heart
An open fire, our favorite chair
I get a book from the shelf
But the words i am reading
Could apply to myself
This is the story of a man
Whose world has fallen apart
And it's the story
That is breaking my heart
Yes, it's the story that is breaking my heart
Yes, it's the story that is breaking my heart
Yes, it's the story that is breaking my heart

14. _ True Love Travels On A Gravel Road
(words & music by frazier - owens)
How many girls choose cotton dress worlds
When they could have satins and lace
And stand by her man, never once letting shade touch her face
How many hearts could live through all the winters
We've known and still not be cold
True love travels on a gravel road.
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road.
Down through the years we've had hard times and tears
But they only helped our love grow
And we'll stay together no matter how strong the wind blows
Not once have i seen your blue eyes filled with envy
Or stray from the one that you hold
Oh true love travels on a gravel road.
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road.
Yeah, true love travels on a gravel road. mmmm
True love travels on a gravel road.
True love travels on a gravel road.

15. _ In The Ghetto
(words & music by scott davis)
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

16. _ Do You Know Who I Am
(words & music by russell)
Do you know who i am
Have you have any idea who i am
Yes it's been quite a while
And it's so good to see you again
It's so dark in this place
That i can't see your face
May believe oh i see
Does he know who i am
And what once was between you and me
Do you know how i tried
Have you any idea how i tried
Not to keep you in sight
Do you know darling how much i cried
I remember you said
That you had to forget about me, and be free
Do you know who i am or have you forgot about me
Do you think there's a chance
You and i could start over again
Is there a prayer you still pray
Or has it just been too long and we're through
Well, what about you and him
Oh he's only a friend
Well i see there's still a chance for me
Well maybe some other time, in some other place
With our love in your heart and a smile on your face
You will know who i am
When that time comes you'll know who i am
You will know who i am
When that time comes you'll know who i am
You will know who i am
When that time comes you'll know who i am

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word i say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend i know
Drops by to say hello
Would i still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where i've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

Someone else is in my place

Just a little bit of green
Clouds my eyes to what i've seen
Just a little bit of green
When i see you with someone new
And knowing that there's nothing i can do
Please don't try to tie me down
Those are the words you often say
I can't help seeing you around
You smile with surprise, i turn my eyes away
Just a little bit of green
Oh-oh-ho, clouds my eyes to what i've seen
Just a little bit of green

And knowing that there's nothing i can do

(words & music by e. miller - j. lantz)
But now after loving you, what else is there to do
For honey, all the rest is just gonna have to be second best
I know i'll go through life comparing her to you
That's 'cause i'm no good, i'm no good to anyone after loving you
Your precious love cannot be erased by just another woman with a pretty face
And your memory, you know it will remain for it cannot be erased
Other loves may come along, they can't live up to you
That's 'cause i'm no good, i'm no good to anyone after loving you
Your precious love cannot be erased by just another woman with a pretty face
And your memory, you know it will remain for it cannot be erased
Other loves may come along, they can't live up to you

21. _ And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind
(words & music by neil diamond)
Listen easy, you can hear god calling
Walking barefoot by the stream
Come on to me, your hair's softly falling
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
Saying nothing, lying where the sun is
Baking down upon our sides
My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses
Your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music will know what we've found
I, hear a hundred good-byes
But today i hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now
Now now now now now now now
Young bird flying, and a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
No the grass won't pay no mind

22. _ My Little Friend
(words & music by shirl milete)
My warped and worried mind resortd
To wandering off to ponder things i never talk about
A pretty girl i used to know but wouldn't know if we met face to face
And defying every logic known
I wish all the time machine could take me back again
To the wonder of my first love, the old folks tease me 'bout
Referring to her only as my little friend
Somewhere far away and maybe not so far away
The child has grown into a woman of the world
I assume just knowing that she knew so much of life at such a tender age
I learned from her the whispered things the big boys at the pool hall talk about
The thrill and disappointment, fear and shame that first love brings
But oh, how i thought i loved my little friend
The fragrance of the green grass mingled with the scent of love and warming earth
The moonlight night i kissed and cried and swore i'd never touch another girl
But time moved fast and i moved on and i loved others time and time again
But with each time i thought of her and always gave a little more
Assembled love and rememberance for my little friend
Oh-oh-oh assembled love and rememberance for my little friend
Oh-oh-oh assembled love and rememberance for my little friend
Oh-oh-oh assembled love and rememberance for my little friend

It's late and no prizes are left to be won
The rides are closed, it's the end of the day
The horses are moving away
Yes the fair's moving on
And i'll soon be gone
Remember the love that we've known
Yes the fair's moving on
But i won't leave you long
It's the last time you'll be on your own
The music has ended, the carousel's still
The horses in boxes with the big ferris wheel
The canvass and glitter are safely on board
The trailers will soon hit the road
Yes the fair's moving on
And i'll soon be gone
Remember the love that we had
Yes the fair's moving on
But i won't leave you long
I'm coming back so please don't be sad
At dawn i'll be gone but i'll soon return
Till then the fair's moving on

To live in memory of a lonesome time

Its useless to say
So i'll just live my life

Those happy hours that we once knew
So long ago you know they still make be blue

And lady luck played her hand just right
You made me king of your heart
Oh for just a little while i thought that i might lose the game
Oh but just in time i saw that twinkle in your eyes
From a jack to a king of loneliness to a wedding, wedding, wedding ring
I played an ace and i won the queen

27. _ Mama Liked The Roses
(words & music by j. christopher)
Oh, mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard
But winter always came around and made the growing way too hard
Oh, mama liked the roses and when she had the time
She'd decorate the living room, for all us kids to see
When i hear the sunday bells ringing in the morning
I remember crying when she used to sing
Oh, mama liked the roses but most of all she cared
About the way we learned to live
And if we said our prayers
You know i kept the family bible
With a rose that she saved inside
It was pressed between the pages
Like it had found a place to hide
Oh, mama liked the roses in such a special way
We bring them every mother's day
And put them on her grave
Oh, mama liked the roses mmmm
Mama liked the roses

Driving down our little street

And now they've finally brought you
Brought you home to me
When you left you know you told me
That some day you'd be returnin'
In a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yea,
Well now everyone is watching you
You finally had your dream, yea
You're ridin' in a long black limousine
You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh yea
The party, the party and the fatal crash that night
Well the race along the highway, oh the curve you didn't see
When you're riding in that long black limousine
Through tear filled eyes i watch as you pass by oh yea
A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
Well i never, i never, never, never
Oh my heart, all my dreams yea, they're with you
In that long black limousine
Yea, yea, they're with you in that long black limousine
Yea, yea, they're with you in that long black limousine

29. _ Inherit The Wind
(words & music by eddie rabbitt)
Baby don't fall in love with me
I'll only bring you grief
Baby, don't set your heart on me
I'll only have to leave
'cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning i'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind
Daddy, he was a traveling man
I hardly knew his face
Momma, she cried for him at night
He never stayed in one place
'cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning i'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind
Oh i can't give you the love you need
I just won't be here that long
But if you still want me here tonight
I'll love you till the break of dawn
'cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning i'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind
Inherit the wind, inherit the wind

30. _ Only The Strong Survive
(words & music by gamble - huff - butler)
I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So i thought i'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it
Boy, oh, i see you're sittin' out there all alone
Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has gone
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees 'cos only the strong survive
That's what she said, only the strong survive
Only the strong survive,
Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
Don't go all around with your head hung down
Well i wouldn't let that little girl
No, i wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown
There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you
Oh but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now and say that your life is through
Yes she said: only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
You've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
'cos only the strong survive
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive

31. _ Gentle On My Mind
(words & music by j. hartford)
It's knowin' that your door is always open
And you path is free to walk
That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up
And stashed behind your couch
It's knowin' i'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the heat stains that have dried up on some lovin'
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
It keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns mellowed by me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we'd fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin'
Or forgiving when i walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory and for hours
You're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junk yards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'cause she turned and i was gone
I still might run in silence
Till' the join might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'till i'm blind
But not to where i cannot see you
Walking in the back roads
By the rivers flowing gently on my mind
I dip my cup of soup from a gurgling,
Cracking cauldron in some train yard
I'm barely runnin' cold how
Have a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Who cupped hands around the tin cans
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're wavin' from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever smiling never changes on my mind

32. _ You'll Think Of Me
(words & music by mort shuman)
I'm sorry now girl, but i must leave you
There's something deep inside my soul keeps calling me
The winter wind girl, will not deceive you
And in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me
You'll see me coming, you'll see me going
Don't ask me why, i'm just the kind needs to be free
Just like that outlaw wind keeps on a-blowin'
Yeah, in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me
Now i know you loved me just like i wanted
I know you'd follow me across an endless sea
But baby i've got a heart that's haunted
Yeah, in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me
Ah but you should know girl that i'll be crying
Out on that lonely road where not a soul can see
I'll shed my tears for a love that's dying
Yeah, in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me
The summer sun girl will bring a stranger
And he'll be better to you than i used to be
And when he takes you into his arms girl
Well, in your warm and loving bed, you won't think of me, no, no
You won't think of me
Then in your warm and loving bed, you won't think of me, no, no
You won't think of me

33. _ Stranger In My Own Home Town
(words & music by percy mayfield)
I'm like a stranger
Like a stranger in my own home town
I'm like a stranger
Like a stranger in my own home town
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down
Oh no, can't get him down
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
But my home town won't accept me
Just don't feel welcome here no more
My home town won't accept me
Just don't feel welcome here no more
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago, yes i did
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
But my home town won't accept me
Just don't feel welcome here no more
I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
Yeah, i'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago, yes i did
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down
I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down

34. _ If I'm A Fool (for Loving You)
(words & music by stan kesler)
If i'm a fool for loving you then that's just what i want to be
They're saying i am just your clown and any fool could see
That you're just having fun and you're not in love with me
The things they're saying may be true, but there's something they can't see
If i'm a fool for loving you then that's just what i want to be
If i'm a dreamer, let me dream. if i'm your clown i'll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem, please don't ever let me know
If i am blind it's because i just don't want to see
If i'm a fool for loving you then that's just what i want to be
If i'm a dreamer, let me dream. if i'm your clown i'll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem, please don't ever let me know
If i am blind it's because i just don't want to see
If i'm a fool for loving you then that's just what i want to be
If i'm a fool for loving you then that's just what i want to be
If i'm a fool for loving you
