"Love's Gone Away"

Love's gone away
She never wanted to stay
Hours go by each one seem like a day
When love's gone away.

My eyes look but they don't see
Blinded by her memory
Bitter tears falling as I keep recalling
How she took her love from me.

Love's gone away
She never wanted to stay
Hours go by each one seem like a day
When love's gone away.

My eyes look but they don't see
Blinded by her memory
Bitter tears falling as I keep recalling
How she took her love from me.

Love's gone away
She never wanted to stay
Hours go by each one seem like a day
When love's gone away.

Love's gone away
She never wanted to stay
Hours go by each one seem like a day
When love's gone away...

"Lovely Hula Hands"

Lovely hula hands
Graceful as the birds in motion
Gliding like the gulls over the ocean
Lovely hula hands, kou lima nani e.

Lovely hula hands
Telling of the rains in the valley
And the swirling winds over the pali
Lovely hula hands, kou lima nani e.

I can feel your soft caresses of your hula hand
Your lovely hula hands
Every little move expresses so I'll understand
All the tender meaning.

Of your hula hands
Fingertips that say aloha
Say to me again I love you
Lovely hula hands, kou lima nani e...

"Lovesick Blues"

I got a feelin' called the blues,
Since my baby said good-bye
Lawd I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh
That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lawd, I thought I would cry
She'd do me, she'd do you,
She's got that kind of lovin'
Lawd, I love to hear her
When she calls me sweet daddy.

Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow
But I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues.

I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That's whats the matter with me
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
But she don't care about me.

Lawd I tried and tried to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn't stay
So now that she is leavin'
This is all I can say.

I got a feelin' called the blues,
Since my baby said good-bye
Lawd I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh
That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lawd, I thought I would cry
Now I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues...

"Making Excuses"

I've been makin' excuses ever since you went away
Makin' excuses to my heart
I'm usin' alibis to cover up for all those lies
You've been tellin' me right from the start

Makin' excuses for the times you let me down
I guess I learned a lot from you
Makin' excuses every time you came around
That's all you knew how to do

Now that you're gone I find
That I can't keep an open mind
So I'm makin' excuses to my heart

Makin' excuses for the times you let me down
I guess I learned a lot from you
Makin' excuses every time you came around
That's all you knew how to do

Now that you're gone I find
That I can't keep an open mind
So I'm makin' excuses to my heart

"Man Walks Among Us"

Warm are the winds on the desert
A whirlwind is dancing around
I stop to survey all the beauty that's here
When a shadow moves out 'cross the ground

It's an eagle that circles above me
And he screams to his friends on the hill
"Stay close together, move not a feather
Man walks among us, be still, be still
Man walks among us, be still"

Everything hides, but I see them
I've spotted an old mother quail
I look close and see, looking right back at me
The eyes of a young cottontail
I see a coyote sneaking
As he crawls through the brush on the hill
And the eagle screams down, "Stay close to the ground
Man walks among us, be still, be still
Man walks among us, be still."

Twenty feet high in the side of a cactus
I see a hole where the butcher bird stays
If mortals could choose, and if heaven should ask us
Here's where I'd want to spend all of my days

Soon will be gone all the desert
Cities will cover each hill
Today will just be a fond memory
Man walks among us, be still, be still
Man walks among us, be still.

"Many Tears Ago"

Many tears ago you said you loved me
Oh, how happy was this heart of mine
Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere
And the sun went down, no more to shine

Many tears ago, I've learned too well, love
What it means to bear a heavy load
I found out just what is meant by sorrow
Many tears ago along life's road

Many tears ago I built a castle
I built it very strong and very tall
Though I thought it had a firm foundation
Many tears ago I saw it fall

Many tears ago, was in the springtime
When you said goodbye and went away
Oh, how well this achin' heart remembers
Many, many tears ago today

"Matilda"

Matilda, with your calloused hands
Where Will goes you will follow
In search of better land.

Matilda, never mind where you have been
Forget about Missouri
Forget about your kin.

Matilda, it's too bad your baby's gone
But he's rested in his cradle by the river
Neath a simple grave stone.

Matilda, mus'nt let Will see ya cry
Covered wagons keep on rollin'
Never question or ask why.

Matilda, work your fingers to the bone
Read your Bible, pray the Indians might spare you
Till you and Will reach your new home.

Matilda, just five-hundred miles to go
Ya know Will's so proud of you
Though he never tells you so

Matilda, Matilda

"Meet Me Tonight In Laredo"

She met him one night in Laredo just a wild comanchero they say
They told her that he'd been an outlaw and she'd have to send him away
They warned her of toil and of hardships and a life filled with heartaches and tears
Then one day he sent her a message the one she'd been waiting to hear
Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low
Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico

The night as they slipped through the darkness
To the trail where their horses were tied
He whispered a prayer for tomorrow that she would be safe by his side
She smiled as they climbed in the saddle and as swift as a wild prairie wind
They rode to the Madre Sierra repeating these words once again
Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low
Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico.

Now in their own hacienda in the glow of a soft candle light
The hands that once held a sixgun are holding their baby tonight
She echoes his God will go with us and at night when the moon's hanging low
She smiles as she fondly remembers the words he had said long ago
Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low
Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico

"Melba From Melbourne"

Once I had a silly notion to out across the ocean
The future for me didn't look to bright
So I signed up with a tanker,
got on board and raised the anchor
Stood and watched the Golden Gate fade out of sight
Nineteen days and nights we traveled
Through the stormy seas we battled
'Till we landed in Australia far away
Far from friends and San Francisco
and the Miss I thought I'll miss so
'Till I stepped ashore in Melbourne that first day

So in love but couldn't get her
cared so much, couldn't forget her
I fell in love just a little bit more and more
There I was just like I started
all alone and broken hearted
I recall the day I left Australia's shore
I was standing there and tryin'
so hard to keep from crying
The more I tried, the more my tears would show
Then a cold breeze seem to whisper
"it's the end you better kiss her"
So I kissed her and I turned away to go

Then I left Melba from Melbourne
She made my heart yearn
She made my tears flow like wine
She wouldn't leave there
I couldn't stay there
So Melba could never be mine

"Moanin' The Blues"
(originally by Hank Williams)

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothin' I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Lord what am I comin' to
I just keep Moanin'
Moaoanin' the blues.

I wrote a nice, long letter
Sayin' mama please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some
And all I do is moan ...
I been lovin' that gal for so doggone long
I can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must of been wrong
'Cause my head is startin' to bow
And now I'm Moanin'
Moa-oanin' The Blues.

If you want a good gal to stay around
You gotta treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this tonw
And you'll almost lose your mlind
Then you'll moanin'; Moa-oanin' The Blues.

Aw! baby, baby, baby
Honey baby, please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some and all I do is moan
I promise you baby that I'll be good
And I'll never be bad no more
I'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now
To walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin'; Moa-oanin' The Blues.

"Moonland"

Moonland, a summer's evenin' in June land
An old familiar tune land
Is Paradise to me
My land, a twinkling star filled sky land
A simple, peaceful island
Across the silver sea

Yonder where native lovers wander
Lost in eternity
Moonland, a summer's evenin' in June land
An old familiar tune land
Is Paradise to me

Yonder where native lovers wander
Lost in eternity
Moonland, a summer's evenin' in June land
An old familiar tune land
Is Paradise for me

"Most Of The Time"

Most of the time while I'm here cryin'
I think of how nice it would be
If we two could be back, dear, again together
And forget the troubles that have set us free

I think of doin' things but I'd be sorry
I'm tryin' to find somebody new
I think of lots of things to ease my sorrow
But most of the time I think of you

Most of the time I can't help wondering
It may be you're out with someone new
You wouldn't, if you knew how much it hurt me
When I think that someone else is holdin' you

Most of the time I'm so lonely
The rest of the time I'm so blue
Part of my time I spend in slumber
But most of the time I think of you

"Mr. Shorty"

Nobody knew where he came from
They only knew he came in
Slowly he walked to the end of the bar
And he ordered up one slug of gin.

Well, I could see that he wasn't a large man
I could tell that he wasn't too tall
I judged him to be 'bout five-foot three
And his voice was a soft Texas drawl.

Said he was needin' some wages
'Fore he could ride for the west
Said he could do most all kind of work
Said he could ride with the best.

There in his blue eyes was sadness
That comes from the need of a friend
And tho' he tried, he still couldn't hide
The loneliness there, deep within.

Said he would work thru the winter
For thirty a month and his board
I started to say where he might land a job
When a fellow came in thru the door.

And I could tell he was lookin' for trouble
From the way that he came stompin' in
He told me to leave Shorty there by himself
Come down and wait on a man.

The eyes of the little man narrowed
The smile disappeared from his face
Gone was the friendliness that I had seen
And a wild look of hate took its' place.

But the big one continued to mock him
And he told me that I'd better go
Find him a couple of glasses of milk
Then maybe Shorty would grow.

When the little man spoke, there was stillness
He made sure that everyone heard
Slowly he stepped away from the bar
And I still remember these words.

Oh! it's plain that you're lookin' for trouble
Trouble's what I try to shun
If that's what you want, then that's what you'll get
'Cause cowboy, we're both packin' guns.

His hand was already positioned
Feet wide apart on the floor
I hadn't noticed but there on his hip
Was a short-barreled Bass Forty-Four.

It was plain he was ready and waitin'
He leaned a bit forward and said
When you call me Shorty, say Mister, my friend
Maybe you'd rather be dead.

In the room was a terrible silence
As the big one stepped out on the floor
All drinkin' stopped and the tick of the clock
Said death would wait ten seconds more.

He cussed once or twice in a whisper
And he said with a snarl on his lips
Nobody's Mister to me, little man!
And he grabbed for the gun on his hips.

But the little man's hands was like lightning
The Bass Forty-Four was the same
The Forty-Four spoke and it sent lead and smoke
And seventeen inches of flame.

For the big one had never cleared leather
Beaten before he could start
A little round hole had appeared on his shirt
The bullet went clear thru his heart.

The little man stood there a moment
Then holstered the Bass Forty-Four
It's always this way so I never stay
Slowly he walked out the door.

Nobody knew where he came from
They won't forget he came by
They won't forget how a Forty-Four gun
One night made the difference in size.

As for me, I'll remember the sadness
Shown in the eyes of the man
If we meet someday, you can bet I would say
That it's me, Mr. Shorty, your friend.

"Mr. Teardrop"

Hey there, mister teardrop
Why do you keep falling
Can't you see you only give me away
Hey there, mister teardrop
Why do you keep falling
Will it always, always be this way

I tell my friends I'm glad she's gone
I tell them little lies
And then you drop in on the scene
And they see through my disguise-ise
Hey there, mister teardrop
Why do you keep falling
Go away so I can smile again

I tell my friends I'm glad she's gone
I tell them little lies
And then you drop in on the scene

"My Isle Of Golden Dreams"

Out of the mist lips I have kissed constantly
Out of the west hands I have pressed beckon to me

Over the sea waiting for me lonely and blue
Somebody sighs somebody cries I love you I love you

Drifting in glee drifting it seems back to the shore
Where hand in hand over the sand we'll stroll once more

Part of my heart we'll never part I hear her say
For in the dawn my dreams have gone astray

I hear the voice on Island calling me it seems
The spell Hawaiian Island my isle of golden dreams

I hear the voice on Island calling me it seems
The spell Hawaiian Island my isle of golden dreams

"My Love"

My love is the valley,
The breeze as it sighs
My love is the mountains
That reach to the sky.

My love is the valley
The rocks and the rills
My love is the prairie
The low rollin' hills the rollin' hills.

The call of the night bird
I love every trill
There's peace and contentment
When everything's still.

The wail of the coyote
The flight of the dove
It's all God's creation
And that's what I love.

And that's what I love...

"My Mother Was A Lady"

Two drummers they were seated in a grand hotel one day
While dining they were chatting in a joking sort of way
There came a pretty waitress to bring a tray of food
They spoke to her familiarly in a manner that was rude

At first she did not notice nor make the least reply
When somethin' that was said to her brought a teardrop to her eye
She turned on her tormentors, her cheeks were blushing red
Approaching as a picture and this is what she said

My Mother was a lady and yours, I would allow
You may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find my brother dear
You would not dare insult me, sir, if brother Jack were here

The two sat there in silence, their heads hung low in shame
Forgive us, miss, we meant no harm, pray tell us what is your name
She told him and he cried aloud I know your brother too
We've been friends for many, many years and he ofttimes speaks of you

Come go with me when I go back and if you'll only wed
I'll take you to him as my bride, for I've loved you since you said
My Mother was a lady and yours, I would allow
You may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find my brother dear
You would not dare insult me, sir, if brother Jack were here

"My Own Native Land"

In this troubled world today
We're asked to lend a hand
Which I will, but first with me
Comes my own native land
Gladly will I help this world
And give all that I can
It isn't selfishness but first
Comes my own native land

Is it right that we should give
And give until it hurts
To a foreign land that treats us
Just like so much dirt
Those who lead us have forgotten
Love is in the soul
Love cannot be purchased with
The promise of more gold

Giving brings a lot of joy
And this I do believe
But aren't the ones who give so much
Entitled to recieve
Why do we keep on giving
Is it right that we should please
The very ones who'd like to see
Our country on her knees

If we must give then we should use
A different policy
And give to only those who treat us
Fair and honestly
We give to those who quickly take it
Posing as a friend
Then just as quickly turn and bite
The hand that's feeding them

I'll be accused but I don't feel
I'm acting selfishly
'Cause I believe the country that
Remains strong will stay free
To give is great but are we giving
More than we can stand
I question this, cause first with me
Comes my own native land
I question this, cause first with me
Comes my own native land

"My Woman, My Woman, My Wife"

Hands, that are strong but wrinkled
Doing work that never gets done
Hair, that's lost some of its beauty
By too many hours in the sun
Eyes, that show some disappointment
And there's been quite a lot in her life
She's the foundation I lean on
My woman, my woman, my wife

Everyday has been uphill
We climb but we can't reach the top
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
She just smiles when I want to stop
Lips, that are weary but tender
With love, that strengthens my life
A saint, in a dress made of gingham
My woman, my woman, my wife

Two little babies were born in the spring
But died when the winter was new
I lost control of my mind, and my soul
But my woman's faith carried us through

When she reaches that river
Lord, you know what she's worth
Give her that mansion up yonder
Cause she's been thru hell here on earth
Lord, give her my share of heaven
If I've earned any here in this life
Cause God, I believe she deserves it
My woman, my woman, my wife
My woman, my woman, my wife

All the islands are sad cause you're leavin' me
The Lord only knows just how lonesome I'll be
