T.B. BLUES. (Jimmie Rodgers). « © '31 Peer International, BMI ». . My good gal's trying to make a fool out of me. Lord my gal's trying to make a fool out of me.
Could be holding you tonight. Could be doing wrong or start doing right. You don't care about what I think. I think I'll just stay here and drink. . Hey, putting you down, don't square no deal.
Mama did she leave to go to Memphis. Are you taking care care of Brady while she's gone. And mama is she down there drown the memories. Surely she won't be in Memphis very long.
From the sun years of the Fifties and the birth of rock and roll. Millions screamed to see him do his thing. Elvis touched the life of every ear that heard him.
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.
In downtown Modesto, I was workin' the Holiday Inn. I would stick with a gig that would last us throughout the weekend. I was singing a new song I'd wrote on the way into town.
You can't hide yourself away from the problems of today. You can't hide yourself at night just turn off the bedroom light. And you can't try to hide your feelings they'll be heavy on your mind.
I know you can't alway be here with me. You can't find what all you need is just one man. You're hardly ever free and seldom lonely. What I'm tryin' to say is love me when you can.
I ain't never robbed or beat up on nobody. I ain't never failed no lie detector test. But tomorrow I'm gonna be the town's most wanted man. But tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.
I'd love to forget every time that you kissed me. I'd love to forget that you're gone. I'd gladly hold back each tear that I'm crying. But love has a mind of its own.
Lately I've been losin' the darkness in my head. The years are catchin' up with you and me but we don't care. We're growin' old together but we won't be along.
Love don't hurt every time. Sometimes love can be kind. So don't turn away from these arms of mine. Love don't hurt every time. . Love has a mind of its own.
Lord, don't give up on me. I'll be right some day. Lord, don't tune me out, don't go away. I'm just a wandering pilgrim, all alone. And lord, I'm only halfway home.
Love and honor a promise to obey sacred vows that we both made yesterday. But when someone tempted you you ease to cross the line. And I'll bet love and honor never cross your mind.
There's a long line of mourners coming down our street. Their fancy cars are such a sight to see. They're all of your rich friends that knew you in the city.
If some time we're thrown together by our friends. And we're forced to see each other once again. I may lose control in spite of how I try. Please look over me while I cry.
Once I thought I loved just you. And I thought you loved me too. But today you say we're through. Just look what thoughts will do. . Now another wears the crown.
When the men in black come kickin' in your door. And guitar-playin' outlaws lay spread-eagled on the floor. When our celebrated heroes have been cuffed and locked away.
Silent night, lonely night. I don't have you for Christmas. Silent night, lonely night. I don't have you this year. . But I'll have twelve long months to remember.
Time flies by. In the blink of an eye. When you get paid for having too much fun. Kicking out the foot lights. Living the night life. Like tomorrow ain't never gonna come.
