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) |

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 use to blossom in his world People never took the time to mind the young man's questions Until 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 county jail Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question And offered her a nickels 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 mans ragged coat they found a faded letter It said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green 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 What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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.

I never thought the time would come,
When I would want to have someone To take your place, and love me while your gone. I promised I would stay with you, And that's just what I want to do, But a woman can't spend this much time alone. There'll always be just one more hill, You'll have to climb, I know you will. And I would never try, to change your way. But just this once, lets think of me, Now try to listen closely, There's something on my mind of got to say. While you're out there riding rainbows, I get awful lonely on the ground. So I was thinking, maybe, We could have a little baby, That I could love, when you're not around, Not around. Sometimes my hearts an empty place, And I need love to fill that space. Those lonely nights, a smile could get me through. Each time I'd see that silly grin And smaller image of your chin, I'd be content to hold a part of you. While you're out there riding rainbows, I get awful lonely on the ground. So I was thinking, maybe, We could have a little baby, That I could love, when you're not around, Not around. |

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. |

I don't know where to start Now that we're fallen apart. How can we talk to heart to heart you're so far away what can I say. I've tried to under-stand but things got so out of hand Held out as long as I can Now I'm on the telephone saying. Can I see you tonight Just think of the time that we've wasted Everything will be right It could be love if we make it. Now that we're on the line I'll tell you what's on my mind The love we're trying to hide. Well, it's suffering from to much pride. When will we see the end to this game where nobody wins For as long as nobody gives in It will go on and on and on. Can I see you tonight Just think of the time that we've wasted Everything will be right It could be love if we make it. Instead of breaking up Instead of breaking up Can I see you tonight Just think of the time that we've wasted Everything will be right It could be love if we make it. Can I see you tonight Just think of the time that we've wasted Everything will be right It could be love if we make it. |

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. |

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. |

"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. "No, I won't take less than your love.

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. |

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. |
