I can't sleep with you I can't sleep with you on my mind. Here I lay in my bed tossing and turning. The fire of love we once knew is still burning. I'm living with your mem'ry all the time and I can't sleep with you on my mind.
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp. Stands out in this mem'ry I revive. Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hands. And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes.
Tomorrow I'll say happy birthday darling. And surprise you with a gift when you come home. And mine forgetful arms will reach out for you. I can't forget you just because you've gone.
Howdy neighbor howdy get out and come right in. We'll make a bowl of gravy to sop your biscuits in. Boil a pot of coffee and bake a big fat hen. Cook another country ham to feed a hundred men.
It's all done wrong, or so it appears. It is all done right, eternal eyes. I am pressing on no matter how it looks. I am pressing on no matter how it looks.
With one nickel in his pocket and a pack of cigarette. There were no tears of sorrow no tears of regret. In a plain wooden casket the county laid him away.
Oh I'm so homesick all I do is roam the street. Can't sleep at night can't eat a bite homesick too homesick to eat. I'm so homesick I'm going crazy and I don't know what to do.
As thge steamer pulls away through San Francisco Bay. I sit here and watch the end of all my dreams. For it takes my love from me back to where he'd rather be.
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin' how's about cookin' somethin' up with me. Hey sweet baby don't you think maybe we could find us a brand new recepie.
Need her on your business trips hold her tight and kiss her lips. Just enough to tie you over from time to time. I'll be waiting all alone you gotta hardly welcome home.
Here comes more tears to cry here comes more heartaches by. Here comes my baby back again. Here comes more misery here comes old memory. Here comes my baby back again.
Oh well here we go again. Well here we go again making promises and holding hands again. Well how's it gonna end breaking up and making up here we go again.
When you're trying to reach heaven talk to Jesus every day. For he knows that you are coming heaven's just a prayer away. If you go to church on Sunday get that long journey and pray.
I didn't think you were but now I know you are. A sunshine of my world my bright and morning star. You changed me in the twinkling of an eye to what I am.
The harbor's empty my love has gone. With aching heart I face the cold and lonely dawn. And till the trade winds bring him home to stay. I'll live in heartbreak U.S.A..
"Good morning, sir, what'll you have?" That's how I start my day. I spend nearly half my life in this little dim cafe. I listen to their troubles, I'd try to be their friend.
I wanna tell you all the story bout the Harper Valley widow wife. Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High. Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play.
Just because I asked a friend about him just because I spoke his name somewhere. Just because I rang his number by mistake today he thinks I still care.
He said if I ever deceived him he'd been gone before I could count ten. I guess that I didn't believe him cause look at the trouble I'm in. He's gone gone gone gone gone gone crying won't bring him back.
Stick my thumb out catch a ride maybe this time I'll be satisfied. Find a new town bout a mile maybe this time I will stay a while. Then if no one wants this restless heart of mine.
