Darling Do You Miss Me?

Darling why'd you leave me
in the lonesome hills of Tennessee
Did you fall in love with another
The reason you forsaken me
I've been lonesome since you left me
Never let you leave my mind
Comeback my loving sweetheart
Comeback darling gal of mine
Remember the day we parted
You wouldn't even say goodbye
You just left me brokenhearted
The teardrop flowing from my eye
I've been lonesome since you left me
Never let you leave my mind
Comeback my loving sweetheart
Comeback darling gal of mine
and it was so that I could ramble
I'd catch the first freight on the line
and I'd ramble this wide world over
to find that sweetheart of mine
I've been lonesome since you left me
Never let you leave my mind
Comeback my loving sweetheart
Comeback darling gal of mine

How Happy it Is To Be

Well I took a chance I asked her to dance
but I never quite learned how
All I really wanted to do was make romance
I think my honesty was too loud
Well night was young so we had some fun
as the drinking had just begun
and I must've played my cards alright
I took her home that night
to wake beneath the sun
cause I just want to tell you
How happy it is to be
and I just want to show you Honey
How much you mean to me
Well the days went past as the love grew fast
I hadn't felt this way ever
You just need something that was gonna last
We'd only spend every evening together
and I never knew no one quite like you
You was really something else
and yes it's true every time I think of you
My heart just begins to melt
cause I just want to tell you
How happy it is to be
and I just want to show you Pretty Mama
How much you mean to me
We settled down in quiet little town
way out yonder from the west
Drinking's got me hanging again
You know it's her that I want the best
and I'd do anything to keep you by my side
I'd do any doggone thing I'd pawn my Rolex watch
and I'd buy you a diamond ring
cause I just want to tell you
How happy it is to be
and I just want to show you Honey
How much you mean to me
How much you mean to me
How much you mean to me

It's Just Too Bad

I've got a story to tell you Honey ain't it just too bad
I've got a story to tell you Honey ain't it just too bad
Won't you come a little closer let me tell about a dream I had
I saw a big time rounder hanging around my baby's bed
I saw a big time rounder hanging around my baby's bed
If I have to shoot that rounder Honey ain't it just too bad
Tell me pretty mama why you fool around with him
I said now tell me Pretty Mama why you fool around with him
If I have to tell your Papa it'll be to bad now Jim
I'm gonna take my razor cut you from ear to ear
I'm gonna take my razor cut you from ear to ear
So when that rounder call you Honey then you can't hear
I'm going down to the river gonna jump over so brave and bold
I'm going down to the river gonna jump over so brave and bold
Well I don't mind drowning but the water sure is cold
Said it ain't no use in worrying Honey about the time that you had
Said it ain't no use in worrying Honey about the time that you had
If you had lots of trouble then Honey ain't it just too bad

Your Everlasting Man

I'm pretty sure I'm lonesome I'm pretty sure you knew
You know I'd love you if you'd just love me too
I'm pretty sure you're here Baby I'm certain that I can
and I'd sure give anything to be your good time again
I got me some time Lord a night to blow
I got me some cash Baby into the pub I go
to find my Sweet Darling the one that loves me more
She drinking whiskey Lord I'm a waiting by the door
I'm pretty sure I'm lonesome I'm pretty sure you knew
You know I'd love you if you'd just love me too
I'm pretty sure you're here Baby I'm certain that I can
and I'd sure give anything to be your everlasting man
You asked me some favor some favors one or two
I got two drinks Gal one for each of you
I tarried in Texas nose beers and blues
She dancing mighty reckless Lord she got nothing to lose
They dropped me a reason and I got me a nine
I woke up a riding on that Rock Island Line
I saw my sweet darling coming way up the aisle
She ain't going nowhere Lord she answered with a smile
I'm pretty sure I'm lonesome I'm pretty sure you knew
You know I'd love you if you'd just love me too
I'm pretty sure you're here Baby I'm certain that I can
and I'd sure give anything to be your good time again
and I'd sure give anything to be your everlasting man

95

I was going 95 in a 45
up the curb and straight into the street light
I watched my life flash right before my eyes
Good God won't you compromise
I said take it easy Baby
Take it as it comes
There ain't nowhere to hide now Honey
There ain't nowhere to run
I went down to the cellar Lord knows I was high
had me a bottle of bourbon and I'd hit upon the sly
I'd pray to Sweet Jesus all I'd get was the spins
Now Lord I'm on the side of the road dying
I said take it easy Baby
Take it as it comes
There ain't nowhere to hide now Honey
There ain't nowhere to run no Ma'am
There ain't nowhere to run
I was driving out to Dallas to face my demons
I ran into the devil Lord knows I ain't leaving
can't you see now Baby that I'm sick with sin
and that's where the hell I am
Well I wake up every morning fore the sun comes up
I put a little bourbon in my coffee cup
I go to work cause that's all I've ever known
and there ain't no short way home
I said take it easy Baby
Take it as it comes
There ain't nowhere to hide now Honey
There ain't nowhere to run no girl
There ain't nowhere to run

Wayfaring Stranger

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There's no sickness no toil nor danger
in that bright land to which I go
and I'm going there to see my Mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
Though dark clouds gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
but beauteous fields arise before me
Where God's redeemed their vigil's keep
and I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
