Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003) by Tanya Tucker (보컬) on maniadb.com

When I was a child down in South Carolin'
Soon as the Saturday sun went on down.
My folks and sister would go,
And leave me home all alone,
Goin' to that big square dance in town.

Well my old radio
would play that old Opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall asleep in my chair
and dream that I was right there
Just a'singin' the whole night thru.

When my folks would come home
They'd be hummin' a song,
Mama'd smile and say child don'tcha know
There ain't a thing in this world
To make you fall in love girl.
Like the San Antonio Stroll.

Well the day finally come
When my momma said hun
It's 'bout time you came with us as well
Well I had me a time,
Yes, I danced all night
'Till they rang that old crack midnight bell

Then the lights went down low
The fiddler picked up his bow
And he played something stately and slow
And my sister Eileen and her husband to be
They held hands and began to stroll.

I've been away for awhile,
But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Now I'll sing it to you
Just so we both can do
That old San Antonio Stroll

Yes, I'll sing it to you
Just so we all can do
That old San Antonio Stroll.

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on,
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today,
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby".
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy,
'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand,
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn.
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
Then a man of low degree stood by her side,
Promised her he'd take her for his bride.

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on,
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today,
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
(X4)

(Billy Ray Reynolds)

Don't believe my heart can stand another you
I need someone who'll be gentle, kind and true.
So go your way I've had enough
The game you play is just to rough.
I don't believe my heart can stand another you.

Of all the people in the world to be standing at my door
Telling me she left me, you know the one I left you for
I sat down and thought it over now I've come to this conclusion
Don't believe my heart can stand another you

I've tried every way I know to put you out of myself
I've been as far down as my knees
But so far it has been no help
And with you already here what I must say get complicated
I don't believe my heart can stand another you.

Don't believe my heart can stand another you
I need someone who'll be gentle, kind and true.
So go your way I've had enough
The game you play is just to rough.
I don't believe my heart can stand another you.

I don't believe my heart can stand another you.

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be

I didn't think that he'd leave me
After saying how much he needs me
But the fact still remains
I'm sittin' here all alone
Missin' the lovin' of my baby
Lord it's about to drive me crazy
He was the sweetest peice of heaven I've ever known

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be

As I walk through his kingdom
Of honkey-tonks and bars
I remember how he'd hold me
And comfort me with talk
He didn't cuss with every breath
He had a soothing southern drawl
Made me feel like a lady through it all

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry

It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me

I've been watchin' you crying.
When ya do I just feel like dying,
I could give ya somethin' that would ease your mind.
Let me give it to ya,
Just a little bit will do ya,
It's something you've been needing for a long long time.

Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
Keep it close to you,
And save it for a rainy day-ay-ay-ay.
Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
It will grow with you,
And some day you can bring it back to stay.

Don't ya keep me waiting, no
What's the use in hesitating.
You know as well as well as me it's what you're looking for.
Put your lips on mine, now now now.
You could make it feel so fine now.
You never have to be without it anymore.

Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
Keep it close to you,
And save it for a rainy day-ay-ay-ay.
Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
It will grow with you,
And some day you can bring it back to stay.

(fade out)
Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
Keep it close to you,
And save it for a rainy day-ay-ay-ay.
Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
It will grow with you,
And some day you can bring it back to stay.

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me

Should my lips grow dry would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour if my lips were dry

Would you go away to another land walk a thousand miles through the burning sand

Wipe the blood away from my dying hand
If I give my self to you

Will you bathe with me in the stream of life
When the moon is full will you bathe with me

Will you still love me when I am down and out
In my time of trials will you stand by me

Would you go away to another land walk a thousand miles through the burning sand

Wipe the blood away from my dying hand
If I give my self to you

Would you lay with me in field of stone
Should my lips grow dry, would you wet them dear
Would you wet them dear
In the stream of life

(Claude Putman Jr)

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

Daddy said: "Now come girl, we're headin' down the road to Augusta."
An thinkin' through his clenched teeth, he called Mama's name, then he cussed her.
He said: "Girl, you're young, but some dude has come along and stole your mother."
Ah, but you can't steal a willin' mind whose mom is always lookin' for a lover.

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

With dusty teardrops in his face, my daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'.
An' halfway runnin' to keep up, my shorter legs were so tired and shakin'.
"Where did I go wrong, girl? Why would she leave us both this way?"
At times like these, a child with tears never knows exactly what to say

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

We searched in every bar room, an' honky-tonk as well.
An' finally Daddy found them, but Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell.
He sent me out to wait, but scared, I looked back through the door.
An' Daddy left them both soakin' up the sawdust on the floor.

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

(Larry Collins/Snuff Garrett/Sandy Pinkard)

If you've got a road map of Texas,
You can see that it's a wide open state.
From Amarillo down to Boulder,
You can bet that it's a honky-tonky place.

They might like to rock 'n roll in Dallas,
Or disco down on Galveston Bay.
But when God made them West Texas cowboys,
He gave them the Pecos Promenade.

Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Buckin' winged, and heel and toe,
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade.
Big sign hangin' by the door,
Sawdust on an old dance floor.
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade.

When the sun starts goin' down on the prairie,
And the starlight, falls on the state.
That's when this cowgirl needs me a cowboy,
To do the Pecos Promenade.

Tonight's the first I saw him,
We can hear those twin fiddles play.
Well Houston starts to feel like Lonestar heaven,
As we dance the Pecos Promenade.

Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Buckin' winged, and heel and toe,
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade.
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade

That's when this cowgirl needs a cowboy,
To do the Pecos Promenade.

What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis
Asking bout a rose that used to blossom in his world
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions

'Til one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson

What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis
Lost a month of life and labored to the country jail
Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question

And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell
A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward soul the county had to claim
Inside the old man's ragged coat they found a faded letter

That said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green
What's your mama's name child...
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name

Somebody oughta tell that girl,
She's livin' in a dreamers world,
That boy is as gone as gone can be.
But it won't be me,
Naw, it won't me.

Somebody oughta set her straight,
She oughta give up the wait,
He'll never give up bein' free.
But it won't be me,
Naw it won't be me.

To see her fall apart would be more than I can bear.
I'm just too close to that girl in the mirror there.

Somebody oughta let her know,
She's got to let him go,
It's time to face reality,
But it won't be me,
Naw it won't be me

To see her fall apart would be more than I can bear.
I'm just too close to that girl in the mirror there.

Somebody oughta let her know,
She's gotta let him go.
It's time to face reality,
But it won't be me,
Naw it won't be me.

Well it won't be T,
Naw it won't be me.

"They said your love life's in trouble in a magazine I read
When the one you love is hangin' off of his side of the bed
Baby, you're just barely hangin' on
Honey I know you'll soon be gone

And I don't need my palm read to know what lies ahead
I can see you in the arms of another girl instead
Baby this ain't the first time you've done it to me
Honey it's gonna be the last time

And I know you think that I'll be goin' out of my mind
Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh but baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time

I don't care who or what you're doin'
Ain't gonna be no more boohooin'
Baby this time I swear it's the truth
I ain't gonna cry no more for you
Uh-uh

Now I know where I'm goin' baby I know where I'm bound
I've been rearranging chairs on a ship that's goin' down
Baby, just step aside if you would
Honey, it's really over for good

And you might want to talk to me, you might want to call
But you won't hear nothin' out of me at all
Cause Baby, I ain't got nothin' left to say
Honey, I'll just be on my way

And I know you think that I'll be goin' out of my mind
Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh but baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time

I don't care who or what you're doin'
Ain't gonna be no more boohooin'
Baby this time I swear it's the truth
I ain't gonna cry no more for you

And I know you that I'll be goin' out of my mind
Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh but baby I'm down to my last teardrop
Baby I'm down to my last teardrop
Baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time"

(Jimmy Rodgers)

I am dreaming, tonight, of an old southern town,
And the best friend that I ever had.
For I've grown so weary of roaming around,
And I'm going home to my Dad.

Your hair has turned to silver,
And I know you're failing too.
Daddy, dear, oh, Daddy,
I'm coming back to you.
You made my childhood happy,
But still I longed to roam.
I've had my way, but now I'll say,
I long for you and for home.

Dear Daddy, you shared all my sorrows and joys;
You tried hard to bring me up right.
I know you'll still be one of the boys.
I'm starting back home tonight.

Your hair has turned to silver,
And I know you're failing too.
Daddy, dear, oh, Daddy,
I'm coming back to you.
You made my childhood happy,
But still I longed to roam.
I've had my way, but now I'll say,
I long for you and for home.

I've had my way, but now I'll say,
I long for you and for home.

There's a tree out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
And the reason it's still standin'
It was strong enough to bend.

For years we have stayed together,
As lovers and as friends.
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend.

When you say somethin' that you can't take back,
A big wind blows and you hear a crack.
When you say "Hey, well, I might be wrong,"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone.
(Sway with the wind till the storm is gone.)

Like a tree
(Like a tree)
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
Our love
(Our love)
Will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.

When you start thinkin' that you know it all,
A big wind blows and a branch will fall.
When you say "Hey, this job takes two,"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.
(Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.)

Like the tree
(Like the tree)
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
Our love
(Our love)
will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.
Our love
(Our love)
will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.

In a cozy little restaurant for lovers
It seems so out of place for you and me
We used to play around under the covers
But now it's just a place to watch T.V.

Chorus:
So love me like you used to when our love was brand new
And darlin' when we're through you can love me again
And hold me like you want to instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me when you used to love me

Baby we could use a long vacation
But the trouble here is bound to tag along
We used to be each others inspiration
When it only took my touch to turn you on

Chorus 1X

Well we used to sit and talk about forever
But now we hardly ever talk at all
We walked a lot of tight ropes together
We always caught each other when we'd fall

Chorus 1X

Love me like you used to when you used to love me

(Paul Davis)

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

Well, I hear you've got a reputation in town,
For takin' all the young girls an' breakin' them down.
You're givin' me an invitation to stay,
But boy, you know, my heart says I oughtta be runnin' away.
Well, I've never been hurt, so I guess it's my turn,
I'm gonna see how strong I am.

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

Well you've got some kind of magic in your big brown eyes,
Where'd you ever learn how to hypnotise?
Just like in romance books that I've read.
Drinkin' lemonade in the shade of my canopy bed.
Well, I've never been hurt, so I'll see what it's worth,
I'm gonna see how strong I am.

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

Well, I've never been hurt, so I'll see what it's worth,
I'm gonna give your love a try.

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
Oh no, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

(Richard Carpenter/Kent Robbin)

You never gave me back the love I gave to you.
You just gave me half your heart and that half was untrue.
So I'll leave you with a promise, from a heart that's heard enough:
Someday you'll find out that you can't escape my love.

I'll come back as another woman,
One with all the secrets to your heart.
I'll come back as another woman,
I'll be the one you burn for,
That you reach for in the dark.
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart.

Some day you'll wake up with your arms around a dream.
The love that she will make to you will be too good to believe.
You'll say: "I love you," and for once it will be true.
You'll fall too fast to realise who you're talking to.

You'll give your heart and soul, she'll be the only one.
You'll be hers completely, there'll be no way you can run.
And with a smile she'll break your loving heart in two.
And, baby, you'll recall the one who said these words to you:

I'll come back as another woman,
One with all the secrets to your heart.
I'll come back as another woman,
I'll be the one you burn for,
That you reach for in the dark.
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart.

You'll hear the echo of my promise, (Ha, Ha, Ha.)
How you laughed and how I cried.
The one you finally give your heart to, (Ha, Ha, Ha.)
Will leave you crying in the night.

I'll come back as another woman,
One with all the secrets to your heart.
I'll come back as another woman,
I'll be the one you burn for,
That you reach for in the dark.
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart.

I'll come back,
I'll come back
As another woman.

(Paul Overstreet/Don Schlitz)

I know you like the night-life, the parties and the fun.
You like to hang around until the last song has been sung.
So I have made arrangements and I wanted you to know,
When all the laughter's ended, there's still somewhere you can go.

My arms stay open all night,
From sundown 'til the morning light.
Hopin' you can find where you belong,
I leave the lights on.
My heart is never closed,
You're the only love it knows.
The one dream I have is to hold you tight:
My arms stay open all night.

Please don't think I'm crazy, I haven't lost my mind.
But when it comes to lovin' you, I can always find the time.
So if it's after midnight, or just before the break of day,
Anytime you need me, it'll never be too late.

'Cos my arms stay open all night,
From sundown 'til the morning light.
Hopin' you can find where you belong,
I leave the lights on.
My heart is never closed,
You're the only love it knows.
The one dream I have is to hold you tight:
My arms stay open all night.

When all your so-called friends go home,
You don't ever have to be alone.

'Cos my arms stay open all night,
From sundown 'til the morning light.
Hopin' you can find where you belong,
I leave the lights on.
My heart is never closed,
You're the only love it knows.
The one dream I have is to hold you tight:
My arms stay open all night.

My arms stay open all night.

(Dave Gibson/Craig Karp)

I know a man, a good friend of mine;
He spends all his time tryin' to make love work out right.
But the woman he loves, she don't feel the same, no;
I don't know much about love but at least I learned one thing:

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.

I know a woman, she's got a heart of gold.
You know she'd do anything to make her man feel right at home.
But the man she loves, now, he's a restless kind of guy,
I wish there was a way I could make her realise.

That if it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.

Let it go, though it's hard I know;
Let it loose, I tell you, it's no use.

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it,
You better let it,
You better let it go.

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.

I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight
Well, I'm a-leavin' here
'Cause you don't treat me right
All ya do is make me cry
So now I'm a-gonna say goodbye
I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight

Ya, I'll be wearin' my old travelin' hat
Now, baby, what do you think of that
'Cause all ya do is treat me wrong
So, honey, I'll be good and gone
I'll be wearin' my old travelin' hat

I'm the best thing, baby that you ever had
When ya find that out
You're gonna feel so bad
You'll beg me, please
Come back home to you
But it's too late
I'm puttin' on my walkin' shoes

Walk on

But I'll be wearin my it's all over coat
And I ain't even leavin' you a note
All ya do is cause me pain
And I ain't commin' back again
I'll be wearin' my it's all over coat

I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight
Well, I'm a-leavin' here
'Cause you don't treat me right
All ya do is make me cry
So now I'm a-gonna say goodbye
I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight
I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight
Yeah I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight

"How much do I owe you?" said the husband to his wife,
"For standing beside me through the hard years of my life.
"Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs?
"Say the word and it's yours.

And his wife said: "I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
"No, I won't take less than your love.
"All the riches of the world could never be enough,
"And I won't take less than your love."

"How much do I owe you?" to the mother said the son.
"For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young.
"Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed?
"And a pillow for to rest your weary head."

And the mother said: "I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
"No, I won't take less than your love.
"All the comforts of the world could never be enough,
"And I won't take less than your love."

"How much do I owe you?" said the man to his Lord.
"For giving me this day and every day that's gone before.
"Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice?
"Tell me Lord and I will pay the price."

And the Lord said: "I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
"No, I won't take less than your love.
"All the treasures of the world could never be enough,
"And I won't take less than your love." ?

"I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
