Live Studio Sessions

I woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine
I looked everywhere to try to find that man of mine
I just found an ice cold pillow layin' by my side
Well, the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

I looked out the window and i could not help but cry
He left me all alone and never said goodbye
He even took that golden sunlight from the sky
Well, the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Sit here and wonder why he left me
I just try to think what i've done wrong
Stay in the darkness of this lonely room
Well, the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine
I looked everywhere to try to find that man of mine
I just found an ice cold pillow layin' by my side
Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Ain't no moonlight
Ain't no starlight
Ain't no sunlight
My baby's gone

(repeat and fade)

You can buy a diamond ring
And slip it on my hand
Put me on a big ol' plane
And fly me to a foreign land
Show me rows of fancy clothes
Saying, "honey you can take your pick!"
Well, that would be mighty kind
But it ain't gonna do the trick

(chorus)

Give a little love
A squeeze and a little kiss
Give a little hug
Mmm, i want some more of this
Take a little time
Yeah, make a little fuss
That's what a woman wants
So give a little love


Get this, you can be some big hunk
Handsome, dark and tall
Talk to me in foreign tongues
Or with a southern drawl
Or be a man from old siam
Wear a pointed hat
I don't care how you look
'cause that ain't where it's at

(repeat chorus)

Well, there are men who'll turn your head
And knock you off of your feet
Sweet talk and big blue eyes
Make a poor heart skip a beat
Drive you wild with a smile
And then they'll treat you cruel
Well, i ain't gonna fall for that
'cause mama didn't raise no fool

(repeat chorus)

You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?
Why not me?
Well, you've finally come down to your old hometown
Your kentucky girl's been waiting patiently
Why not me?

(chorus)

Why not me on a rainy day?
Why not me to love your cares away?
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold?
Why not me when you're growin' old?
Why not me?

You've been searchin' from here to singapore
Ain't it time that you notice the girl next door, baby
Why not me?
You had to see if the world was round
It's time that you learned how good settlin' down could be
Why not me?

(repeat chorus)

You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?

(repeat and fade)

Baby, why not me?

Out on the plains down near santa fe
I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day
And as he jogged along i heard him singin'
The most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

Now get along, get hip little doggies
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggies
He trucked 'em on down that old fairway
Singin' his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

(chorus)

Now singin' his cowboy songs
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a dixie touch
He was raised on local ways
He's what you call a swingin' half breed
Singin' his cow cow booogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

(repeat chorus)
