The Statler Brothers

I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun



Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time




It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete




Don't tell me I've nothin' to do

I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess

QUITE A LONG, LONG TIME
WRITER LEW DeWITT

Perhaps the semi darkness of this room has me confused You say that you're an old, old friend of mine And if I'm wrong about you then I beg to be excused It's just that I have not seen you in quite a long. long time. Or could it be the bottle that you're holding in your hand The girl I knew could never be that kind Please be patient with me I will place you if I can It's just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time. The dimple in your cheek is familiar I'll admit And the smile does resemble one I've known And the color of your hair does remind me quite a bit Of someone the shade of blonde is not just like her own. Now I must go it's getting late and I do wish you well And please go kind of easy on the wine It's possible I know you but it's really hard to tell It's just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time...

I still miss someone
At my door the leaves are falling a cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together and I still miss someone
I go out on a party and look for a little fun

But I find a darkened corner for I still miss someone
Though I never got over those blue eyes I see them everywehere
I miss those arms that held me when all the love was there
And I wonder if she's sorry for leaving what we'd begun

But there's someone for me somewhere and I still miss someone
I still miss someone

Long distance information get me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party try to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number but I know who placed the call
My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me operator get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who's called me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the southside high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

The last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye
Hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
We were torn apart because her mom would not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Help me operator more than this I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Marie is only six years old get the message please
Help me put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

How Great Thou Art
(Stuart K. Hine)

Oh, Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy art throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.

When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
And take me home what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And then proclaim my God how great Thou art

Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.

Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art...
