There's a little Rosewood casket. Settin' on a marble stand. There's a package of love letters. Written by my true love's hand. . Go and bring them to me, brother.
This is the end of a romance. It was almost but not quite, you see. I couldn't give you a thing you don't already have. Little rich girl, you're too good for me.
I see a candlelight down in the little green valley. Where morning glory vines are twining 'round my door. Oh, how I wish I were there again down in the little green valley.
Little Joe the Wrangler will wrangle nevermore. His days with the roundup they are o'er. Was a year ago last April when he rode into our camp. Just a little Texas stray and nothing more.
I grew up in Alabama in a valley I called home. And I learned to love sweet Lilly from the start. But I had to do my duty yes I had to do my part. But the thought of leaving Lilly breaks my heart.

Life. Have I accomplished anything,. have I caused anyone to sing. A happy song?. . Life. I've lived it every day. I've lived it every way. Though some of it was wrong.
Just like all the other times you leave leaving me alone here to grieve. Begging you to stay but still you go this time you won't be back I know. Just like all the other times I cry had that same old hurt deep down inside.
Let me live in your world for a day. Even though I know my heart will fail. A lonely soul in search of happiness. Has found the world of heaven in your kiss.
I was standin' by my window yesterday morning. Without a thought of worry or of care. When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway. With such a happy face and jolly air..
Lauraili (lauraili). Where have you gone without me. Why have you left me all alone. Lauraili (lauraili). I thought you cared about me. I know your heart's made of stone.
It's no use to try to place the blame. And say who has been wrong. Even though we know it's over. Flames of love still linger on. And both knowing that goodbyes to what we had.
The last time I saw my heart. Was on the way up to your lips. As I was lost in your embrace. I found myself somewhere in space. When I came down to earth again my heart was gone.
Before I met you I used to get around. And I could have most any girl in any town. When I fell for you all my playboy days were through. You sure knew just how to tear my playhouse down.
Las Vegas Nevada city of music and laughter city of lights. Las Vegas I didn't know I would lose Betty Jo in the noise of your night. Las Vegas where is the warmness and kindness that you used to show.
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend. What have I done that has made you so distant and cold. Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again.
You were in my arms last night about this time. And the world belonged to me 'cause you were mine. For a moment I thought everything was fine. Cause the world was mine last night about this time.
There's a lamp shining bright in a cabin. In a window it's shinin' for me. And I know that my mother is prayin'. For the boy she is longing to see. . When it's lamplighting time I can see her.
Who can I count on if I can't count on you. Who can I turn to if I can't turn to you. Who can I cling to if I can't cling to you. Who can I sing to if I can't sing to you.
I'm in love,. I'm in love,. I'm in love with a girl,. That's what's the matter with me. I'm in love,. I'm in love, with a beautiful girl,. But she don't give a darn about me.
