Hank Thompson

I've got a hangover heart from your kisses last night
My head is so heavy the tears blind my sight
You no longer love me you said we must pasrt
And all I have left is a hangover heart
Too much wine from the bottle makes you feel bad next day
But take another drink and that feeling goes away
But tell me my darling just how I should start
To take away the pain of this hangover heart
[ fiddle ]
No pills from the doctor no drugs from the store
Will help me forget the one I adore
I don't need a doctor no nurse with her charms
All I need is you for my hangover heart
I could go get more kisses from somebody new
But twll me my darling what good will it do
Come back to me baby let's make a new start
And take away the pain of this hangover heart

BEER BARREL POLKA
Writers Lew Brown, Wladimir A. Timm, Jaramir Vejvoda

There's a garden, what a garden Only happy faces bloom there And there's never any room there For a worry or a gloom there Oh there's music and there's dancing And a lot of sweet romancing When they play the polka They all get in the swing Every time they hear that oom-pa-pa Everybody feels so tra-la-la They want to throw their cares away They all go lah-de-ah-de-ay Then they hear a rumble on the floor, the floor It's the big surprise they're waiting for And all the couples form a ring For miles around you'll hear them sing... Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run Sing boom tararra, ring out a song of good cheer Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang's all here Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Then they hear a rumble on the floor-or-or-or It's the big surprise they're waiting for And all the couples they form a ring For miles around you'll hear them sing Drree mopado theedo da-da-da-da ----- instrumental break ----- Roll it out, roll it out, roll out the barrel Da-da-da da-da da-da da-da-da-da-da Sing a song of good cheer 'Cause the whole gang is here Roll it out, roll it out Let's do the beer barrel polka

Walking slow to the graveyard I've lost everything I could lose
Now I've even lost my baby I guess I've got the drunkard's blues
It was down at Big Joe's barroom on the corner beyond the square
Everybody drinkin' good liquor the regular crowd was there
So I strolled out on the sidewalk began to look around
Looking everywhere for my baby but that sweet woman can't be found
It was down at St James infirmary I found my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table so cold so pale so fair
So I strolled back down to the barroom to get another drink of gin
The next thing you know I'm reeling rocking and drunk again
Sixteen coal black horses all hitched up in a line
In that pretty buggy she's ridin' goodbye ol' gal of mine
Walking slow to the graveyard I've lost everything I could lose
Now I've even lost my baby I guess I've got the drunker's blues

Tonight in a bar alone I'm sitting
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
While scenes from the past rise before me
I'm watching the bubbles in my beer
A vision of someone who loves me
Brings along solty tears to my eyes
So I know that my life's been a failure
Just watching the bubbles in my beer
[ steel - fiddle ]
I'm seeing the road that I've travelled
A road paved with heartaches and tears
And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
While watching the bubbles in my beer
As I think of the heart that I've broken
And of the golden chances that have passed me by
And the dreams that I had now are empty
As empty as the bubbles in my beer

Oh Lordy me
I feel so bad this mornin'
A but I won't be feelin' bad too long
I'm headed for Hangover Tavern

My head is heavy
My spirit's kinda of low
And every time I feel this way
To Hangover Tavern I go

Well, this bar I'm talkin' about
The shades are pulled down
To keep the sunshine out
The beer is poured in a frosty cup
The good bartender cheers you up

Sayin', hey Lordy me
If you feel bad this mornin'
Then watch your blues just fade away
At Hangover Tavern today

Oh Lordy me
When I woke up this mornin'
I just had to make my way
On down to Hangover Tavern

My throat is dry
There's a [Incomprehensible] around my eye
But I'll have lots of company
At Hangover Tavern for me

On Saturday night we stay out late
The very next day we congregate
I just can?t wait for the very first round
Tell the man to turn the jukebox down

'Cause hey, Lordy me
I feel so bad this mornin'
But I'll drink my blues away
At Hangover Tavern today

Hangover Tavern, here I come

You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

CHORUS:
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life

The glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flows
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know

REPEAT CHORUS

ANYBODY’S GIRL
Writers Hank Thompson, Billy Gray

Where there’s dim lights and there’s liqueur, they’ll find you each night
The jukebox will be playing your favorite song tonight
You’re the loneliest fool that’s living in your make believe world
You’re a honky tonk sweetheart and anybody’s girl
Though you chose the life that lead you to sorrow and shame
Each shoulder that you cry on, you swear that I’m to blame
You gave up the one that loved you to live in your sorted world
You’re a honky tonk sweetheart and anybody’s girl
You can’t say I didn’t love you as you’re crying in your beer
You drink to every heartache and wish that I was near
With each drink you passion surges and start your head to whirl
You’re a honky tonk sweetheart and anybody’s girl
I don’t understand your feelings but emotions are strange things
Why you gave up the life your leading and gave up your wedding ring
You flaunt your charms and beauty and toss your pretty curls
You’re a honky tonk sweetheart and anybody’s girl
You’re a honky tonk sweetheart and anybody’s girl

PAPER DOLL
Writer Johnny Black

I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own A doll that other fellows cannot steal And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes Will have to flirt with dollies that are real When I come home at night she will be waiting She'll be the truest doll in all this world I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own Than have a fickle-minded real live girl I guess I had a million dolls or more I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er I just quarreled with Sue, that's why I'm blue She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do I'll tell you boys, it's tough to be alone And it's tough to love a doll that's not your own I'm through with all of them I'll never ball again Say boy, whatcha gonna do? I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own A doll that other fellows cannot steal And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes Will have to flirt with dollies that are real When I come home at night she will be waiting She'll be the truest doll in all this world I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own Than have a fickle-minded real live girl

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO THAT
Writers Clyde Otis, Kelly Owens

Did you ever watch the one you love slowly drifting away form you And you know deep in your heart There is nothing you can do To make her stay, to turn the tide To ease the pain that you feel inside Oh when her eyes say it's over and done Then you simply must face the fact So you leave and think it's over But you come hurrying back Hoping she'll change her mind Praying she'll take you back But like the lady said That's all there is to that

YOU ALWAYS HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE
Writers Doris Fisher, Allan Roberts

You always hurt the one you love The one you shouldn't hurt at all You always take the sweetest rose And crush it till the petals fall You always break the kindest heart With a hasty word you can't recall So If I broke your heart last night, It's because I love you most of all

SEPTEMBER IN THE RAIN
Writers Al Dubin, Harry Warren

The leaves of brown came tumblin' down, remember In September in the rain The sun went out just like a dying ember That September in the rain To every word of love I heard you whisper The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain Though spring is here, to me it's still September That September in the rain To every word of love I heard you whisper The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain Though spring is here, to me it's still September That September in the rain That September in the rain

Just because you were hurt by someone
Don't take it out on me
Although I know you love that someone
More than you ever loved me

You always will remember
The day he went away
Our love has left an ember
That burns your heart away

The love you thought would last forever
Is now just a memory
And just because you were hurt by someone
Don't take it out on me

You always will remember
The day he went away
Our love has left an ember
That burns your heart away

The love you thought would last forever
Is now just a memory
And just because you were hurt by someone
Don't take it out on me

You're breakin' in another heart
To take the place of mine
The kind of love I gave to you
Is very hard to find

You're breakin' in another heart
To try to take my place
But have I left of memory
That time cannot erase

Can you find another one
Who'll love you like I do?
One who thinks, you're everything
His world is only you

Now that you have made the change
I don't think you will find
The heart that you're breakin' in
Will be as true as mine

When you made him love you so
And talkin' what to be
I wonder when you kiss his lips
Will you think of me?

It's hard to start my life again
But what else can I do?
You're breakin' in another heart
But mine you've broken too

Humpty dumpty set on the wall humpty dumpty had a big fall
All the king's horses all the king's men could never put humpty together again

I've got a humpty dumpty heart you dropped it and broke it apart
All the king's horses all the king's men could never put humpty together again
Cause when I gave to you my heart you said that we must part
That was my doom my heart went boom I got a humpty dumpty heart
[ fiddle ]
My heart is a fragile thing when dropped it won't bounce or ring
It ain't no joke cause when it's broke no love song will it sing
I've got a humpty dumpty heart...

I didn't think you were that sort when I handed you my heart
You got it on a platter but you let it shatter my humpty dumpty heart
I've got a humpty dumpty heart...
