Rose Of A Day (Larry W. Jones 10/23/2007) (song#5101)

I stood in love's garden manor
For awhile dear, with you alone
Ne'er could I ask for love finer
But tomorrows cannot be known

Like a bee drawn to a rosebud
I was a pawn in love's game with you
Now you're gone like a faded dream
Love's flower from a day that I knew

The rose of a day that I knew
One I thought would grow by my side
With much regret I can't forget
The rose of a day that has died

- instrumental -

Like a bee drawn to a rosebud
I was a pawn in love's game with you
Now you're gone like a faded dream
Love's flower from a day that I knew

The rose of a day that I knew
One I thought would grow by my side
With much regret I can't forget
The rose of a day that has died

When I saw you sprout, my heart gave a shout
But now I'm without you, my love
The rose of a day in my heart will stay
But along with the thorn thereof

The rose of a day in my heart will stay
But along with the thorn thereof
Pale Moon (Larry W. Jones 10/24/2007) (song #5102)

You're an angel in disguise
I fell for your lies
I never would have known
That you'd fly like the breeze
But my world turned to black
When the stars turned their back
And now I'm back on the ground
Crawling on my knees

Now there's a pale moon
Shining a veil down on me
There's a pale sunrise
As far as eternity
I begged the stars to turn back
End this world of black
And brighten up the pale moon
Shining down on me

Dear, I thought you shared my dreams
Bought you everything
And you taught my now broken heart
That it could sing
I spent my nights and days
Thinking of all the ways
In which I could make you all mine
For all of time

- instrumental -

I spent my nights and days
Thinking of all the ways
In which I could make you all mine
For all of time

Now there's a pale moon
Shining a veil down on me
There's a pale sunrise
As far as eternity
I begged the stars to turn back
End this world of black
And brighten up the pale moon
Shining down on me

Now there's a pale moon
A sad and veiled moon
Now there's a pale moon
Shining down on me
Quicksilver Moon (Larry W. Jones 10/24/2007) (song#5103)

Quicksilver moon, sail along
Down lovers' lane, a pale sarong
Quicksilver moon, sail along
Make strong her love for me again

Lead her to where your light will glow
Speed her to where our love can grow
Quicksilver moon, for us please reign
Tonight down lovers' lane

Maybe the future will be clearer
Quicksilver moon, if you lend a hand
Then two hearts may beat ever nearer
Quicksilver moon, oh, please understand

- instrumental -

Maybe the future will be clearer
Quicksilver moon, if you lend a hand
Then two hearts may beat ever nearer
Quicksilver moon, oh, please understand

Quicksilver moon, sail along
Down lovers' lane, a pale sarong
Quicksilver moon, sail along
Make strong her love for me again

Quicksilver moon, sail along
Make strong her love for me again
Take My Bones To Tulsa (Larry W. Jones 10/24/2007) (song#5104)

She broke my heart with her red dress on
She told me that her name was Dinah
She won't marry me and be my own
I left her down in Louisiana
Take my bones to Tulsa, in Oklahoma bury
Take my bones to Tulsa, in Oklahoma bury

The wild honey bee makes the honey
Beekeeper makes and keeps the money
Dinah went and made my heart turn blue
She can keep my heart she broke in two
Take my bones to Tulsa, in Oklahoma bury
Take my bones to Tulsa, in Oklahoma bury

- instrumental -

Now, cowboys go to the big barn dance
And the cowgirls go there for romance
But Dinah didn't give me a chance
So here's my stance because of Dinah
Take my bones to Tulsa, in Oklahoma bury
Take my bones to Tulsa, in Oklahoma bury

Well, I used to wear a great big smile
Sang happy songs because none were sour
Now my head hangs low a country mile
Tell Dinah this is my final hour
Take my bones to Tulsa, in Oklahoma bury
Take my bones to Tulsa, in Oklahoma bury

Take my bones to Tulsa
Take my bones to Tulsa
Take my bones to Tulsa
In Oklahoma bury
Cowboy Cease Your Roaming (Larry W. Jones 10/24/2007) (song#5105)

Cowboy, cease your roaming
Cowboy, forget the lone prairie
Cowboy, when your fortune has turned
Ride on back home to me

As you ride across the prairie
My dreams are striding beside you
To Texas or New Mexico
Where you ride cowboy, I will go

To the corral inside my heart
My love will guide your pony true
Cowboy, cease your roaming
Ride on back home to me

- instrumental -

As you ride across the prairie
My dreams are striding beside you
To Texas or New Mexico
Where you ride cowboy, I will go

Cowboy, cease your roaming
Cowboy, forget the lone prairie
Cowboy, when your fortune has turned
Ride on back home to me
Alamo Sally (Larry W. Jones 10/24/2007) (song#5106)

Alamo Sally, now come along and wander
Across the ally from the Alamo to me
Alamo Sally, come along and marry me
Cause Sally, you would make me very happy be

When Texas skies are blue
You are so beguiling
And when those skies are grey
Sally, you keep smiling
Alamo Sally, across the ally from the Alamo
Alamo Sally, you are the pride of San Antonio

Texas skies turned blue when I saw you
Alamo Sally, my cowgirl true
You brought along a Fiesta song
My Alamo Sally, I love you

- instrumental -

When Texas skies are blue
You are so beguiling
And when those skies are grey
Sally, you keep smiling
Alamo Sally, across the ally from the Alamo
Alamo Sally, you are the pride of San Antonio

Alamo Sally, now come along and wander
Across the ally from the Alamo to me
Alamo Sally, now come along and wander
Across the ally from the Alamo to me
Texas Cannonball (Larry W. Jones 10/24/2007) (song#5107)

I'm a-rollin' back to Texas
It's the big Lone Star State for me
Where pecan trees grow and the oil wells flow
Texas is home sweet home to me
Good folks there will meet you and then greet you
With a great big loud Howdy Y'all
I say I'm blessed cause I'm a-rollin' west
On the fast Texas Cannonball

On the Texas Cannonball, Texas Cannonball
Just listen as the whistle calls out Howdy Y'all
I know there's a cowgirl waitin'
And she's the fairest of them all
I say I'm blessed cause I'm a-rollin' west
On the fast Texas Cannonball

- instrumental -

Now, when I cross that old Sabine
I'll see miles and miles of Texas
It's the best state I've ever seen
Just put my name where the X is

On the Texas Cannonball, Texas Cannonball
Just listen as the whistle calls out Howdy Y'all
I know there's a cowgirl waitin'
And she's the fairest of them all
I say I'm blessed cause I'm a-rollin' west
On the fast Texas Cannonball
Texas Brazos Valley (Larry W. Jones 10/25/2007) (song#5108)

I'm packin' my saddle bags
I'm ridin' away today
Gonna hit the cattle trail
I'm headin' down Texas way
Gonna settle down and never more roam
Make that Texas Brazos Valley my home

I'll tie up all of my loose ends
Excuse myself from my old friends
Where the best of the west begins
Is where the trail I'll be on ends
I figure that's where this cowboy should be
Is the Texas Brazos Valley, you see

Now I'm not just wishin' when I state
She'll be waitin' in the Lone Star State
And when my lonely trail ride is done
That girl's gonna fill my heart with joy
She's gonna marry this here cowboy

- instrumental -

I'll tie up all of my loose ends
Excuse myself from my old friends
Where the best of the west begins
Is where the trail I'll be on ends

I'm packin' my saddle bags
I'm ridin' away today
Gonna hit the cattle trail
I'm headin' down Texas way
Gonna settle down and never more roam
Make that Texas Brazos Valley my home
Make That Guitar Ring For Your Darling (Larry W. Jones 10/25/2007) (song#5109)

Make that guitar ring for your darling
And sing her a song that shows you care
Play something gentle, sentimental
For you may not have much time to spare

Don't let love words lay around on the floor
Go and say them to the one you adore
So, make that guitar ring for your darling
And sing to your darling forevermore

- instrumental -

Don't let love words lay around on the floor
Go and say them to the one you adore

Make that guitar ring for your darling
And sing her a song that shows you care
Play something gentle, sentimental
For you may not have much time to spare

Don't let love words lay around on the floor
Go and say them to the one you adore
So, make that guitar ring for your darling
And sing to your darling forevermore
Sunny Sings Country Blues (Larry W. Jones 10/25/2007) (song#5110)

Sunny sings country blues
To cowboys in honky tonks cloudy
She sounds like rain falling
Settles them down when they get rowdy
To Sunny, it's just pitter patter
Really doesn't matter
No true love comes calling
When Sunny sings the blues

Sunny sings country blues
Makes all the cowboys sigh with sadness
Teardrops fall in their beer
And washes away any gladness
Couples on the dance floor are swayin'
Sad steel guitars playin'
Honky tonks have no cheer
When Sunny sings the blues

- instrumental -

Cowboys remember how she got her name
They remember her sunny smile
It's not so funny that she's not the same
And she hasn't been for awhile

But broken hearts may mend
And in time the sun may shine again
Other dreams may come true
Cowboy, now quit crying in your beer
Sunny sings country blues and needs cheer
Come and hold Sunny near
Just a smile she could use
When Sunny sings the blues

Cowboy, now quit crying in your beer
Sunny sings country blues and needs cheer
Come and hold Sunny near
Just a smile she could use
When Sunny sings the blues
Trail Of Heartache (Larry W. Jones 10/25/2007) (song#5111)

The lights in the ranch house have all failed
I'm just a cowboy lost on the trail

Trail of heartache
No joy or happiness
No love, just loneliness
Oh, how I hoped that you would care
That you'd be there, my dear
To dry away my tears on this
Trail of heartache

Oh, how could you forget
Vows of love when we met
Now I ride with regret
Upon this trail of debt

Trail of heartache
No joy or happiness
No love, just loneliness
Oh, how I hoped that you would care
That you'd be there, my dear
To dry away my tears on this
Trail of heartache

- instrumental -

I won't see you no more
And I know what's in store
A long black veil I see
The only trail for me

Trail of heartache
No joy or happiness
No love, just loneliness
Oh, how I hoped that you would care
That you'd be there, my dear
To dry away my tears on this
Trail of heartache

Oh, how I hoped that you would care
That you'd be there, my dear
To dry away my tears on this
Trail of heartache
Trail Of Love (Larry W. Jones 10/25/2007) (song#5112)

Come and ride alongside, darling
By my side on the trail of love
And let me tell you, my darling
Just how much it is I love you

Sweetheart, remember when we met
The sun had just begun to set
That's when I told you, my darling
Just how much it is I love you

Come and ride alongside, darling
By my side on the trail of love
And let me tell you, my darling
Just how much it is I love you

Come and ride alongside
Be my bride
On the trail
The trail of love

- instrumental -

Sweetheart, remember when we met
The sun had just begun to set

Come and ride alongside, darling
By my side on the trail of love
And let me tell you, my darling
Just how much it is I love you

Come and ride alongside
Be my bride
On the trail
The trail of love
Second Rate Cowboy (Larry W. Jones 10/25/2007) (song#5113)

I perform in rodeos that are second rate
And I try to ride for eight when they pull the gate
I'm just a cowboy who's been placed upon a shelf
My cowboy boots used to be worn somebody else

It's no wonder that I'm feeling old
Everything I own is full of mold
I wear a real sedate western hat
I never get a great ol' Good-Job pat
I hate to hear 'em when they call me
Second rate cowboy

I need to buy my poor pony a new collar
Bought a second rate saddle for forty dollars
Got a Goodwill shirt that's already full of dirt
The rodeo said that my credit's on alert

- instrumental -

Got a Goodwill shirt that's already full of dirt
The rodeo said that my credit's on alert

I'm behind on my R.C.A. rodeo dues
Bob, the announcer, said he wasn't keeping score
Said he'd never seen a cowboy like me before
I told Bob that for me it wasn't any news
I hate to hear 'em when they call me
Second rate cowboy
Second rate rodeo blues
Second rate cowboy
Second rate rodeo blues
Hank Williams Is The King (Larry W. Jones 10/26/2007) (song#5114)

All country folks give thanks for the Hanks
In the Country Music Hall of Fame
There's Hank Chochran and Hank Locklin
Hank Snow and Hank Thompson by name
But there's just one to which the title King belongs
Everybody knows any old time they hear him sing
Hank Williams is the King of country music songs

Hank Cochran wrote about A Little Bitty Tear
And he just wanted to Make The World Go Away
Hank Locklin wrote and sang Please Help Me I'm Falling
And Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On today
But there's just one to which the title King belongs
Everybody knows any old time they hear him sing
Hank Williams is the King of country music songs

Now Hank Snow was Canada's Yodeling Ranger
He's Been Everywhere and Hank is still Movin' On
Hank Thompson led the Texas Brazos Valley Boys
Honky Tonk Angels all had Humpty Dumpty Hearts
But there's just one to which the title King belongs
Everybody knows any old time they hear him sing
Hank Williams is the King of country music songs

- instrumental -

Hank Williams is the King, just listen to him sing
He caught the Love Sick Blues cause of a Cold Cold Heart
Hank heard a Lonesome Whistle Blow and had to go
To the Pontchartrain to get some Jambalaya
Old Hank was Setting The Woods On Fire from the start
Wonder if the Mansion On The Hill is there still

All country folks give thanks for the Hanks
In the Country Music Hall of Fame
There's Hank Chochran and Hank Locklin
Hank Snow and Hank Thompson by name
But there's just one to which the title King belongs
Everybody knows any old time they hear him sing
Hank Williams is the King of country music songs
Bunk House Number Nine (Larry W. Jones 10/26/2007) (song#5115)

Just follow the trail
To this lonely spread of mine
You'll find me bedded down
In bunk house number nine

It wasn't long ago
That you rode away from me
We made wedding plans
But your treading sent you free
Now this emptiness surrounds me
Most of the time
Sunshine don't come around
In bunk house number nine

- instrumental -

You didn't care for me
You went and changed your mind
I'll stay drunk in this bunk house room
Until I'm blind
Just follow the trail
To this lonely spread of mine
You'll find me bedded down
In bunk house number nine

Now this emptiness surrounds me
Most of the time
Sunshine don't come around
In bunk house number nine
Sunshine don't come around
In bunk house number nine
Mine And Only Mine (Larry W. Jones 10/26/2007) (song#5116)

Dear, my love for you is true
When I tell you I love you
I will cheer you when you're blue
I will help your dreams come true
I will share the good and bad
Dear, I'll never make you sad
Take my hand and you'll be fine
You are mine and only mine

I will always call you dear
And I'll always want you near
True love's light will always shine
In your heart as well as mine
And as for the vows we make
I will give more than I'll take
Take my hand and you'll be fine
You are mine and only mine

- instrumental -

And as for the vows we make
I will give more than I'll take
Take my hand and you'll be fine
You are mine and only mine

Whether we are rich or poor
My love will be true and sure
I will tell you, I love you
Will you tell me, Yes I do
If you honor and obey
From your side I'll never stray
Take my hand and you'll be fine
You are mine and only mine

Take my hand and you'll be fine
You are mine and only mine
San Angelo Stroll (Larry W. Jones 10/26/2007) (song#5117)

I met her where west Texas breezes blow
There beneath the stars in San Angelo
A dance at a ranch where tumbleweeds roll
We danced to the slow San Angelo Stroll

She said her name was Angela
All cowboys made her heart their goal
She stole my heart right from the start
Dancing the San Angelo Stroll

The tune they played was beautiful
All felt so right within my soul
I felt love on my heart strings pull
With that slow San Angelo Stroll

- instrumental -

She said her name was Angela
All cowboys made her heart their goal
She stole my heart right from the start
Dancing the San Angelo Stroll

The tune they played was beautiful
All felt so right within my soul
I felt love on my heart strings pull
With that slow San Angelo Stroll

But that was long ago and in the past
I knew a dream like her just could not last
That dance with her has taken its slow toll
Angela and the San Angelo Stroll
Be Happy That You Have What You Have (Larry W. Jones 10/26/2007) (song#5118)

Be happy that you have what you have while you have it
Or you may have to find out that what you have is gone
Take a look at what you see while you can still see it
Or you may see that what you saw is now far long gone

Be sure to help what you can help if you can help it
Cause you can't help a thing if you don't help it along
Treat with true love what you can treat while you can treat it
If you don't treat your love sweet then your sweet will be gone

- instrumental -

Buddy, if you know what's good then better treat her good
And you should thank the moon as soon as it shines above
Now don't tarry if you're very sure she'll marry you
Because that same girl I'll give a whirl for her same love

Be happy that you have what you have while you have it
Or you may have to find out that what you have is gone
Take a look at what you see while you can still see it
Or you may see that what you saw is now far long gone

Be happy that you have what you have while you have it
Or you may have to find out that what you have is gone
My Heart Will Break (Larry W. Jones 10/26/2007) (song#5119)

Dear, my poor heart just can't understand
Why you say you love another man
It doesn't want to believe we're through
I keep walking up and down the floor
As you say you're walking out the door
My heart will break before it's over you

I believe my heart has lost its mind
I believe it's gonna break in time
My heart's already cracked, I know
And I know it won't have far to go
It keeps right on loving you the same
Now that's just not right, it's such a shame
Dear, how can you do the things you do
My heart will break before it's over you

- instrumental -

I believe my heart has lost its mind
I believe it's gonna break in time
My heart's already cracked, I know
And I know it won't have far to go

Your letters that I said I should burn
They will still be here should you return
My heart cries from what it's going through
Dear, I'll miss you in ways big and small
Even kiss your picture in the hall
My heart will break before it's over you
Before You Came On The Scene (Larry W. Jones 10/26/2007) (song#5120)

I've seen many lovely girls that were fine
Before you came on the scene
I gave many a whirl and called them mine
Before you came on the scene

I even searched the world in small detail
Up and down and in between
I thought that all my dreams of love would fail
Before you came on the scene

- instrumental -

I used to wander around like the breeze
Being free was my routine
Cause I wasn't bound and did as I pleased
Before you came on the scene

I even searched the world in small detail
Up and down and in between
I thought that all my dreams of love would fail
Before you came on the scene

- instrumental -

I even searched the world in small detail
Up and down and in between
I thought that all my dreams of love would fail
Before you came on the scene

Yes darling, that was before
Before you came on the scene
Crazy Heart (Larry W. Jones 10/27/2007) (song#5121)

I'm lost for words to describe how I feel
My heart feels like it's dying all the time
It will take time for it to ever heal
Since you said that you will never be mine

Crazy heart that beats now for only you
It just repeats the words that you're not mine
Crazy heart that only thought that it knew
Now meets reality for one more time

Crazy heart that's now used to being blue
It thought that it would be happy this time
You'll wed another when this day is through
And my heart will be crying for all time

- instrumental -

The plans that I had for me and for you
Were clad in golden dreams that won't come true
Now how can I feel glad when I'm so blue
And it's too bad my heart loves only you

Crazy heart that beats now for only you
It just repeats the words that you're not mine
Crazy heart that only thought that it knew
Now meets reality for one more time
C.C.Rider (Larry W. Jones 10/27/2007) (song#5122)

Well, the Country Circuit judge goes riding
Along the trails from town to town
The seal of justice he goes providing
For legal words that he writes down

Out west they call him the C.C.Rider
They come to see the Country Circuit judge
When someone gets married, he writes it down
C.C.Rider blesses the wedding gown

Well now see, C. C. Rider
Well now, see what you have done
That darlin' I wanted to marry
You married off to another one

Well, didn't you know I loved that lady
Why did you even have to come
Well now I thought that next time just maybe
I would be her love number one

Well now see, C. C. Rider
Well now, see what you have done
That darlin' I wanted to marry
You married off to another one

I'm ridin' the trail now darlin'
I won't be back until the Fall
Country Circuit judge came ridin'
And he married my darlin' off

Well now see, C. C. Rider
Well now, see what you have done
That darlin' I wanted to marry
You married off to another one
 
Well now see, C. C. Rider
Whenever the moon is shining bright
Yeah, yeah, see, C.C. Rider
Whenever the moon is shining bright
I'm gonna find another darlin'
And the Country Circuit judge will make it right
Broadcast For My Heart (Larry W. Jones 10/27/2007) (song#5123)

Make a broadcast just for my heart
Announce it on the air
Play it at the top of the charts
That you still want me there
Darling, though we are far apart
You know my love is true
Make a broadcast just for my heart
And all the world will know it too

Sweetheart, I wish I weren't alone
I need you here beside of me
I hear your voice when on the phone
But it's still you I need to see
Make a broadcast just for my heart
Announce it on the air at night
Your voice will be a work of art
That will turn darkness into light

- instrumental -

Sweetheart, I wish I weren't alone
I need you here beside of me
I hear your voice when on the phone
But it's still you I need to see

Make a broadcast just for my heart
Announce it on the air
Play it at the top of the charts
That you still want me there
Darling, though we are far apart
You know my love is true
Make a broadcast just for my heart
And all the world will know it too
Transcontinental Railway (Larry W. Jones 10/31/2007) (song#5124)

I'm takin' the transcontinental railway
To get my mind in repose
I'm takin' the transcontinental railway
Gotta find where love still grows

I've packed my overnighter
Got my ticket in my hand
Nothing could be more righter
Than takin' a train so grand

Eleven, departing the station this morning
Yearning, my heart will no longer be in mourning
Seven, I'm arriving at seven tomorrow
Seems like heaven, I'll no longer be in sorrow

- instrumental -

Oh, I don't know why I ever went astray
From my dear loving homestead shack
I'm takin' the transcontinental railway
Transcontinental railway back

Oh, I don't know why I ever went astray
From my dear loving homestead shack
I'm takin' the transcontinental railway
Transcontinental railway back
In December's Firelight Glow (Larry W. Jones 10/31/2007) (song#5125)

Snowflakes of white came falling down, remember
In December's firelight glow

Warm flames of love became as burning embers
In December's winter cold

Words of love we there exchanged
As snowflakes of white came falling down

Oh, how did time rearrange
That December dream no more around

My darling, your sweet love I still remember
In December's firelight glow

- instrumental -

Words of love we there exchanged
As snowflakes of white came falling down

Oh, how did time rearrange
That December dream no more around

My darling, your sweet love I still remember
In December's firelight glow

Your sweet love I still remember
In December's firelight glow
I'll Forever Say I Love You (Larry W. Jones 10/31/2007) (song#5126)

Dear, I'll forever say I love you
For I would never make you blue
Yes, I'll forever say I love you
Darling, you know I love you true

Strolling with you in the moonlight
Just seems like the right thing to do
Dreams are rolling along alright
Making mem'ries for me and you

I'm so glad I found this new love
My heart is so bound to you, love
A sweet dream came down from above
Dear, I'll forever say I love you

- instrumental -

I'm so glad I found this new love
My heart is so bound to you, love

I adore this love you're giving
I'm living in a dream, I know
There will never be misgiving
Because darling, I love you so

Dear, I'll forever say I love you
For I would never make you blue
Yes, I'll forever say I love you
Darling, you know I love you true
I'll Move Along (Larry W. Jones 10/31/2007) (song#5127)

Dear, I'll move along if you don't need me
I'll move along if you need to be free
I don't know how to mend your broken vows
I'll move along to a new love for me

I'll move along if you don't need me
I'll move along if your heart I can't own
In a new time zone dear, I'll remember
That you once told me you loved me alone

After I go, dear, you will remember
That all of my vows I did live up to
I'll move along without warm love's embers
And I will get along dear, without you

- instrumental -

I'll move along if you don't need me
I'll move along if your heart I can't own
In a new time zone dear, I'll remember
That you once told me you loved me alone

After I go, dear, you will remember
That all of my vows I did live up to
I'll move along without warm love's embers
And I will get along dear, without you

I'll move along without warm love's embers
And I will get along dear, without you
Lonesome Cowboy (Larry W. Jones 11/01/2007) (song#5128)

I'm a lonesome cowboy who just rode into town
I just stopped at your saloon as the sun goes down
And tomorrow it won't matter what trail I find
I'm a lonesome cowboy that love has left behind

No, not much matters when there's no love left within
My dream has died and so I just ride with the wind
And these tears that blind are for someone on my mind
I'm a lonesome cowboy that love has left behind

- instrumental -

My pony is tired just like these line in my face
And these stony trails won't lead to a better place
Pour another whiskey mister, if you don't mind
I'm a lonesome cowboy that love has left behind

No, not much matters when there's no love left within
My dream has died and so I just ride with the wind
And these tears that blind are for someone on my mind
I'm a lonesome cowboy that love has left behind

I'm a lonesome cowboy that love has left behind
Love's Delaying Game (Larry W. Jones 11/01/2007) (song#5129)

When I was a young lad, sweethearts I had
I made all them play love's delaying game
I must also add that I made some sad
But in time other sweethearts to me came
In time other sweethearts came

Oh, time seems so long from Spring to December's snow
But when September comes, the days much shorter grow
For when the Fall does call and blows upon life's flame
You know there's no more time for love's delaying game

When the seasons diminish to a cherished few
Springtime, Summer, Autumn
Dear, let me finish my last season with only you
Finish my last season with you

- instrumental -

Listen young lads, when you meet sweethearts in the Spring
Go ahead, romance them with song and wine
But you must write in your songs what the seasons bring
December's snow will fall on you in time

Oh, time seems so long from Spring to December's snow
But when September comes, the days much shorter grow
For when the Fall does call and blows upon life's flame
You know there's no more time for love's delaying game

No more time for love's delaying game
Serenade In Red (Larry W. Jones 11/01/2007) (song#5130)

Sometimes I hear a serenade in red
At times I forget all the words it said
But I know it's about a dream that's dead
A dream that died long ago

I tried to get you to return to me
I wrote a serenade, a melody
But dear, you only stayed away instead
Serenade in red I know

Dear, I remember you like yesterday
We danced away on a crowded floor
Darling, that was before you went away
And after you whispered forevermore
My dear, our song of love was once a sigh
Our golden moon turned to blue and then red
On the night you said goodbye

- instrumental -

Dear, I remember you like yesterday
We danced away on a crowded floor
Darling, that was before you went away
And after you whispered forevermore

I tried to get you to return to me
I wrote a serenade, a melody
But dear, you only stayed away instead
Serenade in red
Serenade in red
Yesterday's Rendezvous (Larry W. Jones 11/01/2007) (song#5131)

I would have sworn that you were here last night
I felt so warm when you came into view
But when came the morn you were not in sight
It was just a memory of yesterday's rendezvous

There in my bed, your love words I could hear
All my thoughts were so clear of only you
When the sun appeared you were nowhere near
It was just a memory of yesterday's rendezvous

- instrumental -

There in my bed, your love words I could hear
When the sun appeared you were nowhere near

The path to happiness is oh, so dark
My world is empty and of love bereft
Like this old emptiness within my heart
I don't know which way to turn, right or left

There's no use in dreaming of yesterday
Because those dreams of you will not come true
So, when I dream, I tell myself each day
It was just a memory of yesterday's rendezvous
Seven Mile Hill (Larry W. Jones 11/01/2007) (song#5132)

There are twinkling stars
In the western sky
In Albuquerque still
And there nothing mars
The view from on high
Atop Seven Mile Hill

There I loved a girl for awhile
I guess I love her still
At times I still can see her smile
Atop Seven Mile Hill

Albuquerque is still a part of me
And I will dream until
That sweet New Mexico girl I can see
Atop Seven Mile Hill

- instrumental -

There are twinkling stars
In the western sky
In Albuquerque still
And there nothing mars
The view from on high
Atop Seven Mile Hill

At times I still can see her smile
Atop Seven Mile Hill
I Fell For The Wine (Larry W. Jones 11/02/2007) (song#5133)

I see twenty twenty but as I look behind
I can see that I overlooked those hazard signs
Dear, you told me to watch it many many times
You fell for me darlin' but I fell for the wine

I remember you told me someday I would find
Nothing good to hold to when I crossed that line
Now I'm holding this bottle with you on my mind
You fell for me darlin' but I fell for the wine

Dear, I wish that I had seen more clearly the sign
Instead of wasting dreams on more cheap bottled wine
Then dear, I would have you here in these arms of mine
You fell for me darlin' but I fell for the wine

- instrumental -

Dear, I wish that I had seen more clearly the sign
Instead of wasting dreams on more cheap bottled wine
Then dear, I would have you here in these arms of mine
You fell for me darlin' but I fell for the wine

Darlin', I know you'll find somebody true and kind
He'll give you things that are due for ladies refined
All I could give now is the product of the vine
You fell for me darlin' but I fell for the wine
Step Right In (Larry W. Jones 11/02/2007) (song#5134)

Dear, the key is under the doorstep, step right in

Well, I was too suspicious of the goings on
And you were too ambitious in your comfort zone
My dear, I find no comfort in that I was wrong
And I find I still dream about you all night long

Dear, the key is under the doorstep, step right in
I wonder if our faded love could live again
I know I traded your sweet love for my chagrin
Dear, the key is under the doorstep, step right in

- instrumental -

Dear, this living by myself is no fun to me
My heart's sitting on the shelf with no company
If you will just return I promise to be nice
Darling, for you my heart yearns and has paid the price

Dear, the key is under the doorstep, step right in
I wonder if our faded love could live again
I know I traded your sweet love for my chagrin
Dear, the key is under the doorstep, step right in

The key is under the doorstep, step right on in
She Wears My Golden Band (Larry W. Jones 11/02/2007) (song#5135)

She wears my golden band
To show all the world that I'm her man
She wears my golden band
To show that she's mine forevermore
Around her finger I placed it there
To show all the world how much I care

This golden band stands for more than precious metal
It stands for love as soft as a rose's petal
She knows my eyes upon only her will settle
I'm her man and that's why she wears my golden band

- instrumental -

She knows my eyes upon only her will settle
I'm her man and that's why she wears my golden band

This golden band stands for more than precious metal
It stands for love as soft as a rose's petal
She knows my eyes upon only her will settle
I'm her man and that's why she wears my golden band
I'm her man and that's why she wears my golden band
Wrap Your Love In Golden Paper (Larry W. Jones 11/02/2007) (song#5136)

You opened up my heart and your love came in
You opened up my heart and your love came in

Your love is shining in my world
Like sunshine on my shoes
As the days of my life unfurl
My sunshine, dear, is you
I'm gonna wrap your love in golden paper
And here is what I'm gonna do
Gonna unwrap it on some foggy morning
And let your love come shining through

You opened up my heart and your love came in
You opened up my heart and your love came in

- instrumental -

Sometimes this life will make you blue
Despite all ever tried
Just let the sun come shining through
To make you satisfied
I'm gonna wrap your love in golden paper
And here is what I'm gonna do
Gonna unwrap it on some foggy morning
And let your love come shining through

You opened up my heart and your love came in
You opened up my heart and your love came in

I'm gonna wrap your love in golden paper
And here is what I'm gonna do
Gonna unwrap it on some foggy morning
And let your love come shining through
If My Heart Ever Gets Mended (Larry W. Jones 11/03/2007) (song#5137)

If my heart ever gets mended
A new love it may try to find
But the last love has just ended
And I find she's still on my mind

This is not the first love ended
For I have had lost loves before
Now my poor heart needs attended
Because of heartaches by the score

I'm gonna search for the right love
She'll be a girl who's true and kind
If my heart ever gets mended
The last love won't be on my mind

- instrumental -

Maybe someday I will find her
And this pain in my heart will end
And maybe then it will occur
That my poor broken heart will mend

I'm gonna search for the right love
She'll be a girl who's true and kind
If my heart ever gets mended
The last love won't be on my mind

If my heart ever gets mended
The last love won't be on my mind
Sawmill Town (Larry W. Jones 11/03/2007) (song#5138)

A sawmill town on a dead end street
You're nowhere around and I can't sleep
With you still on my mind
Dear, I still dream of you, it's true
I know he bought you a diamond ring
I'm sure he can buy you fancy things
But he can't buy true love
The kind of love I have for you

The kind of love I have for you
Would have lasted endlessly
We planned a life of man and wife
But that now can never be
I know he bought you a diamond ring
I'm sure he can buy you fancy things
That you won't find in a sawmill town
But he can't buy true love
His will only be hand-me-downs

- instrumental -

Remember you came from a sawmill town
Bright lights came from the sawdust burning low
It's just a little sawmill town, I know
But it's here you will find real love can grow
You might live in a mansion on a hill
But you will still be blue
Cause he can't buy true love
The kind of love I have for you

Remember you came from a sawmill town
Bright lights came from the sawdust burning low
It's just a little sawmill town, I know
But it's here you will find real love can grow
I Can't Miss Missing You (Larry W. Jones 11/03/2007) (song#5139)
 
I missed the party with the guys at the bar
Who would even feel like laughing when they're blue
I miss the sound of a crying steel guitar
But dear, I find that I can't miss missing you

The bus I missed left me standing in the rain
The new time table changed all the routes I knew
I miss happy times because my heart's in pain
But dear, I find that I can't miss missing you

- instrumental -

I miss happy times because my heart's in pain
I can't miss wishing you would come home again

I tried to dismiss the fact that you're now gone
But the fact is that I'm lost and all alone
I miss your calls at work on the telephone
I feel more remiss than I have ever known

I miss those days of bliss with you all the time
How I miss your morning kiss now that we're through
I miss the songs we sang with words that rhymed
But dear, I find that I can't miss missing you
Yes dear, I find that I can't miss missing you
Cowboys Come A-Ridin' (Larry W. Jones 11/03/2007) (song#5140)

(Cowboys come a-ridin' to the barn dance tonight)

[up tempo]
Cowboys come a-ridin'
Down the trail into sight
Cowboys come a-ridin'
To the barn dance tonight
Ponies are a-striding, striding, striding home
Ponies are a-striding, striding, striding home
Down the trail, cowboys come a-ridin'
To the barn dance tonight
(Cowboys come a-ridin' to the barn dance tonight)

[slow tempo]
They ride to the roundup where the longhorn goes
It's so hard for the cowgirls to wave adios
(Adios cowboys, there they all go)
While the big prairie moon moves across the sky
The cowgirls can't wait til they're return is nigh

[up tempo] 
Cowboys come a-ridin'
Down the trail into sight
Cowboys come a-ridin'
To the barn dance tonight
Ponies are a-striding, striding, striding home
Ponies are a-striding, striding, striding home
Down the trail, cowboys come a-ridin'
To the barn dance tonight
(Cowboys come a-ridin' to the barn dance tonight)

[slow tempo]
How joyful the days around the old corral
Til once more they ride to the high Chapparral
(Adios cowboys, there they all go)
Oh how lonesome the nights under moon so pale
Til the day cowboys come ridin' down the trail

[up tempo]
Cowboys come a-ridin'
Down the trail into sight
Cowboys come a-ridin'
To the barn dance tonight
Ponies are a-striding, striding, striding home
Ponies are a-striding, striding, striding home
Down the trail, cowboys come a-ridin'
To the barn dance tonight

[slow tempo]
To the barn dance tonight
(Cowboys come a-ridin' to the barn dance tonight)
Sierra Sally (Larry W. Jones 11/03/2007) (song#5141)

Sierra Sally, for you I'm lonesome
The sad whippoorwills sound so lonesome too
Sierra Sally, I need you badly
I'd wed you gladly, Sierra Sally

Desert roses cry with petals falling
Like they do down in Death Valley
Sweetheart, my song for you is now calling
Heard in Mexicali, Sierra Sally

- instrumental -

Desert roses cry with petals falling
Like they do down in Death Valley
Sweetheart, my song for you is now calling
Heard in Mexicali, Sierra Sally

Sierra Sally, I need you so bad
I'm feeling so sad, Sierra Sally
Desert roses cry with petals falling
Whippoorwills cry way down in the valley
Sweetheart, my song for you is now calling
Heard in Mexicali, Sierra Sally

Sweetheart, my song for you is now calling
Heard all the way down in Mexicali
Sierra Sally
Sierra Sally
Sierra Sally
Eyes Of Blue Golden Moon And Purple Sage (Larry W. Jones 11/03/2007) (song#5142)

Eyes of blue, golden moon and purple sage
With visions of you on the prairie stage
Eyes of blue, tell me true if you love me
I'll love you with my soul eternally

Eyes of blue, golden moon and purple sage
On you, a cowboy would spend all his wage
Golden moon, shine down here upon my love
With your light from the heavens up above

- instrumental -

Golden moon, shine down here upon my love
With your light from the heavens up above

Eyes of blue, golden moon and purple sage
Dear, let's you and I write love's brand new page
Purple sage, covered with the prairie dew
Tell me you love me with your eyes of blue

Eyes of blue, golden moon and purple sage
With visions of you on the prairie stage
Eyes of blue, tell me true if you love me
I'll love you with my soul eternally
Rainbow Round My Sombrero (Larry W. Jones 11/04/2007) (song#5143)

Rainbow round my sombrero
Glowing in the sky above
In the trees where breezes blow
Bluebirds sing a song I know
Of a cowboy who's in love

Rainbow round my sombrero
Are what songs of love are of
Now, winds and rain may blow me
But they will never slow me
Cause I'm a cowboy in love

Happy trails, wedding bells ring
That girl is my everything 
Of cowboys, call me the king

Rainbow round my sombrero
Glowing in the sky above
I want the whole wide world to know
That I'm a cowboy in love

- instrumental -

Happy trails, wedding bells ring
That girl is my everything 
Of cowboys, call me the king

Rainbow round my sombrero
Glowing in the sky above
I want the whole wide world to know
That I'm a cowboy in love

Cowboy in love, cowboy in love
Rainbow round my sombrero
Cause I'm a cowboy in love
I Still Carve Your Name On The Pines (Larry W. Jones 11/04/2007) (song#5144)

Many years have come and gone, my darling
Most of them were filled with tears of regret
Through the years I still loved you, my darling
You were dear to me and I can't forget

I still love you just as much, my darling
Even though you are now no longer mine
I still hunger for your touch, my darling
And dear, I still carve your name on the pines

These lonely years seem to forever roll
Through them all I have tried to roll along
Oh, I have cried and the years took their toll
As I remembered our sweet old love song

- instrumental -

I still love you just as much, my darling
Even though you are now no longer mine
I still hunger for your touch, my darling
And dear, I still carve your name on the pines

I heard dear, that you had wed another
You now live in a mansion big and fine
I'd write you sometime but I won't bother
I'll stay here in my cottage in the pines

I still love you just as much, my darling
Even though you are now no longer mine
I still hunger for your touch, my darling
And dear, I still carve your name on the pines
Ernest Tubb (Larry W. Jones 11/04/2007) (song#5145)

They said he was too country for New York City
He didn't sport the Greenwich Village hippies' hair
But he was the sort that didn't need their pity
Cause Texas treats the Texas Troubadour four-square

Down in Texas his country music was not denied
Ernest Dale Tubb was honky tonk music personified
He said girls in Texas were prettier down there
They didn't breathe New York City's polluted air

- instrumental -

He said New York City sidewalks were filled with dirt
And they didn't take the time to say Howdy sir
Ernest Tubb said their hearts were as cold as their stare
If he could, he would have sold them some Texas air

He was the Texas Troubadour and wouldn't budge
He was nice enough that he wouldn't hold a grudge
Ernest Tubb sang ballads in Texas or anywhere
The Texas Troubadour sang like a millionaire

They said he was too country for New York City
He didn't sport the Greenwich Village hippies' hair
But he was the sort that didn't need their pity
Cause Texas treats the Texas Troubadour four-square

Down in Texas his country music was not denied
Ernest Dale Tubb was honky tonk music personified
Silver Moon (Larry W. Jones 11/05/2007) (song#5146)

Silver moon, shining in the dark night
Floating upward with your heavenly light
You took my love away, shining for another
Silver moon, my love is nowhere in sight

Silver moon, shine down on me, I cry
Bring her back to stand here by my side
With your light maybe you can change her mind
I'm so lonesome being left behind

Silver moon, shining in the dark night
Floating upward with your heavenly light
You took my love away, shining for another
Silver moon, my love is nowhere in sight

- instrumental -

Silver moon, shine down on me, I cry
Bring her back to stand here by my side
With your light maybe you can change her mind
I'm so lonesome being left behind

Silver moon, shining in the dark night
Floating upward with your heavenly light
You took my love away, shining for another
Silver moon, my love is nowhere in sight
My love is nowhere in sight
Big Collection Of Recollections (Larry W. Jones 11/07/2007) (song#5147)

Well, I've got a big collection of recollections
And I wouldn't disconnect any even if I could
If I get to feeling low, I know just where to go
Just recall my big collection of recollections

Upon inspection you say that my past is standing out
I know I had some loves that I couldn't really win
But those lost loves is not what it's really all about
I recall it's knowing that I knew love way back when

- instrumental -

Upon inspection you say that my past is standing out
But those lost loves is not what it's really all about

My big collection of faces come back one by one
Along with all the places I recall in my mind
No, I wouldn't disconnect any even if I could
For I might want to recollect them from time to time

Well, I've got a big collection of recollections
And I wouldn't disconnect any even if I could
If I get to feeling low, I know just where to go
Just recall my big collection of recollections

If I get to feeling low, I know just where to go
Just recall my big collection of recollections
Simple Kind Of Cowboy (Larry W. Jones 11/08/2007) (song#5148)

When I was a small cowboy, quite young
Dad said, come and sit awhile, my son
Don't listen to what the crowds may say
And in time you'll see my words will pay
For they will help you along some day

Now take your time, son, don't ride too fast
There's plenty troubles beyond the pass
And when it's women you're thinking of
Find one like a prairie turtle dove
And son, be sure to treat her with love

Be a simple kind of cowboy, son
Live the cowboy code and understand
Be a simple kind of cowboy, son
A simple kind of cowboy's a man
Your life on the trail has just begun
Be a simple kind of cowboy, son

Don't waste precious time in search of gold
Cause that trail will only leave you cold
As you ride across these western skies
Be a simple kind of cowboy, son
You will make me glad and you'll be wise

Be a simple kind of cowboy, son
Live the cowboy code and understand
Be a simple kind of cowboy, son
A simple kind of cowboy's a man
Your life on the trail has just begun
Be a simple kind of cowboy, son

Cowboy, don't worry, you'll find your way
Train your heart for goodness every day
And ride down the narrow trail aright
Be a simple kind of cowboy, son
Keep the cowboy code within your sight

Be a simple kind of cowboy, son
Live the cowboy code and understand
Be a simple kind of cowboy, son
A simple kind of cowboy's a man
Your life on the trail has just begun
Be a simple kind of cowboy, son
Waltzing Through My Mind (Larry W. Jones 11/09/2007) (song#5149)

I've tried to leave your memory behind
But memories of you are not that kind
They torture me and then won't let me be
Whenever you come waltzing through my mind

Whenever you come waltzing through my mind
I'm left with only emptiness, I find
Your dancing shoes never let me unwind
Whenever you come waltzing through my mind

- instrumental -

Your dancing shoes never let me unwind
Whenever you come waltzing through my mind

There's no use to drown my thoughts with red wine
A bottle full of troubles I would find
I regret you untied the ties that bind
Whenever you come waltzing through my mind

Whenever you come waltzing through my mind
I'm left with only emptiness, I find
Your dancing shoes never let me unwind
Whenever you come waltzing through my mind
Whippoorwill Hill (Larry W. Jones 11/09/2007) (song#5150)

Whippoorwill
Is your saddest song directed to me
Love is not where it's expected to be
I've listened so long to your lonesome trill
Has my love gone upon Whippoorwill Hill

Whippoorwill
If you see her in some green valley in spring
Please tell her that there I will go journeying
But until then my dreams will be lying still
There beside you on top of Whippoorwill Hill

In your lonesome song deep in the night
Do you long to see your love alight
Sad whippoorwill music
It's such a lowly tune
Must be kin to a loon
As both of you serenade the moon

Whippoorwill
How was it planned that you sadly sing
I know you must understand these things
Oh, will my dreams ever be fulfilled
Or will they die on Whippoorwill Hill

- instrumental -

In your lonesome song deep in the night
Do you long to see your love alight
Sad whippoorwill music
It's such a lowly tune
Must be kin to a loon
As both of you serenade the moon

Whippoorwill
How was it planned that you sadly sing
I know you must understand these things
Oh, will my dreams ever be fulfilled
Or will they die on Whippoorwill Hill
Snore Snore Snore (Larry W. Jones 11/10/2007) (song#5151)

Snore, snore, snore
It's something that we all adore
Oh, how we love to roar away
When chores are done at end of day

It's something that we can't ignore
We do it til our throats are sore
Let's go to bed and dream some more
As we snore, snore, snore

I used to have a darlin' who was sweet
But she ain't my darlin' any more
My snoring blew the covers off her feet
And when she went out the door, she was sore

- instrumental -

My snoring blew the covers off her feet
And when she went out the door, she was sore

Snore, snore, snore
It's something that I do adore
Oh, how I love to roar away
When chores are done at end of day

It's something that I can't ignore
I do it til my throat is sore
I'll go to bed and dream some more
As I snore, snore, snore

I'll go to bed and dream some more
As I snore, snore, snore
Here She Comes (Larry W. Jones 11/10/2007) (song#5152)

Here she comes, she's walking my way
Each step she takes brings the gladness of May
I won her heart and lost mine, glad to say
Here she comes, she's walking my way

I never cheated her and never lied
And that's why she's here walking by my side
She knows I love her more and more each day
Here she comes, she's walking my way

- instrumental -

I won her heart and lost mine, glad to say
Here she comes, she's walking my way

I never cheated her and never lied
And that's why she's here walking by my side
She knows I love her more and more each day
Here she comes, she's walking my way

Here she comes, she's walking my way
Each step she takes brings the gladness of May
I won her heart and lost mine, glad to say
Here she comes, she's walking my way

Here she comes, she's walking my way
Song Of The Last Whippoorwill (Larry W. Jones 11/10/2007) (song#5153)

Summertime is over, my darling
Fall is here and you're going away
The end of dreams is near, my darling
For I know you'll be gone any day

I know my heart will die, my darling
And I can already feel the chill
I'll be all alone cause you'll be gone
With the song of the last whippoorwill

Summer roses were in bloom, my darling
Green of the leaves was still upon the trees
Now I hear the whippoorwill's sad calling
Calling from his lonely hill on the breeze

- instrumental -

Summer roses were in bloom, my darling
Green of the leaves was still upon the trees
Now I hear the whippoorwill's sad calling
Calling from his lonely hill on the breeze

Our love should be harvested, my darling
As farmers gather bounty to the mill
But love's harvest moon will fade, my darling
As with the song of the last whippoorwill

Yes, love's harvest moon will fade, my darling
As with the song of the last whippoorwill
Big Country In Her Soul (Larry W. Jones 11/10/2007) (song#5154)

In the big city lives a little girl
Who gives my heart a great big whirl
Said she didn't mind if I came around
Now, I'm so glad it's her I found

She's a city girl with big country in her soul
She likes good country music with her rock 'n roll
Apple pie and pickup trucks
I don't have to wear no tux
She's a city girl with big country in her soul

- instrumental -

Well now, I've been to places in this world
A lot of faces come to mind
But none replaces what I see in this girl
City girl of a diff'rent kind

She's a city girl with big country in her soul
She likes good country music with her rock 'n roll
Apple pie and pickup trucks
I don't have to wear no tux
She's a city girl with big country in her soul

Apple pie and pickup trucks
I don't have to wear no tux
She's a city girl with big country in her soul
The Jukebox Called Her Darlin' (Larry W. Jones 11/10/2007) (song#5155)

The jukebox called her darlin', darlin' in the song
And I played it over and over all night long
Joe the bartender reminded me when it was dawn
That the singer just may have gotten it all wrong

The jukebox called her darlin', darlin' in the song
I drank a lot of beers and I know that was wrong
I know I shed a lot of tears on my way home
The jukebox called her darlin', darlin' in the song

- instrumental -

Joe the bartender reminded me when it was dawn
That the singer just may have gotten it all wrong

The jukebox called her darlin', darlin' in the song
Instead of quarrelin', our love should have been strong
It seems like just yesterday though it's been so long
The song still plays over and over all night long

The jukebox called her darlin', darlin' in the song
I drank a lot of beers and I know that was wrong
I know I shed a lot of tears on my way home
The jukebox called her darlin', darlin' in the song
And I played it over and over all night long
Texas Honky Tonk Girl (Larry W. Jones 11/10/2007) (song#5156)

She acts like she owns the dance floor
When the band begins
It's a fact that she'll drink some more
Lone Star beer or gin

She's just in it for the good times
She sure gives the cowboys a whirl
Jukebox takes her nickels and dimes
She's a Texas honky tonk girl

She's a lonely Texas honky tonk girl
Oh, she smiles a lot and shows those pearls
And although she gives the cowboys a whirl
She lost the only real love in her world

- instrumental -

There's a story that she has never told
Of someone she loved somewhere far behind
Out on the dance floor she looks ever bold
But behind the smiles hides a tear to find

She's a lonely Texas honky tonk girl
Oh, she smiles a lot and shows those pearls
And although she gives the cowboys a whirl
She lost the only real love in her world

She's a lonely Texas honky tonk girl
Sleepy Corral (Larry W. Jones 11/11/2007) (song#5157)

A sleepy corral, a big harvest moon
And two at the hacienda
A sleepy corral, a September tune
Cowboy love's on the agenda

Fire flies light up the night
With soft lights that shimmer
A falling star burns bright
Before growing dimmer

Leaves on cottonwood trees welcome the breeze
Purple sage welcomes the dew
My darling, here I dwell under your spell
Oh, what a wonderful view

- instrumental -

Fire flies light up the night
With soft lights that shimmer
A falling star burns bright
Before growing dimmer

Darling, I know this night will end too soon
But this warm night of love came from above
A sleepy corral, a big harvest moon
And you to love

A sleepy corral, a big harvest moon
And you to love
Dreamy Time Out West (Larry W. Jones 11/11/2007) (song#5158)

Big full moon shining on the prairie stage
Cowboys singing songs of the purple sage
Whippoorwill calling from his hilltop nest
It's dreamy time out west

Southern breeze blowing through cottonwood trees
Honeysuckle growing for honey bees
Longhorn cattle lowing while at their rest
It's dreamy time out west

Barn dance is goin' with the fiddles ringin'
Cowgirls showin' how their western skirts sway
Boots are tappin' and western songs singin'
Nobody's stopping til the break of day

- instrumental -

Southern breeze blowing through cottonwood trees
Honeysuckle growing for honey bees
Longhorn cattle lowing while at their rest
It's dreamy time out west

Out on the prairie with its western songs
That's where I'm goin' cause there I belong
Yes, I'm goin' where the goin' is best
It's dreamy time out west

Yes, I'm goin' where the goin' is best
It's dreamy time out west
Softly Blow The Prairie Winds (Larry W. Jones 11/11/2007) (song#5159)

Well, we both rode those dusty trails
Stopped by Laramie on the way
Young Cody rode right by my side
Out on the trail both night and day

Softly blow the prairie winds
There where young Cody lies
He won't ride the trails again
Now Molly, don't you cry

And as we rode those long last miles
The herd was circling around
He told me of your darlin' smile
And said your name was Molly Brown

- instrumental -

Softly blow the prairie winds
There where young Cody lies
He won't ride the trails again
Now Molly, don't you cry

Yes, he rode beside me, Molly
You were the apple of his eye
But I couldn't save him, Molly
When those longhorns stampeded by

Softly blow the prairie winds
There where young Cody lies
He won't ride the trails again
Now Molly, don't you cry

He won't ride the trails again
Now Molly, don't you cry
Down On The Mexico Border (Larry W. Jones 11/15/2007) (song#5160)

One day I rode across the border line
Met a senorita so very fine
She was her padre's beautiful daughter
And I vowed my love just like I oughta
Down on the Mexico border

Her soft eyes were dark and her hair was too
She had a smile like an angel oughta
She was her padre's beautiful daughter
Down on the Mexico border

Sunlight was shining on her raven hair
Roses bloomed there by the Rio's water
My heart fairly fell at her feet down there
I married that girl just like I oughta
Down on the Mexico border

- instrumental -

Her soft eyes were dark and her hair was too
She had a smile like an angel oughta
She was her padre's beautiful daughter
Down on the Mexico border

Sunlight was shining on her raven hair
Roses bloomed there by the Rio's water
My heart fairly fell at her feet down there
I married that girl just like I oughta
Down on the Mexico border
Sing Me Back To The Old Corral (Larry W. Jones 11/16/2007) (song#5161)

The sheriff led the outlaw
Toward the scaffold at high noon
Cowboys gathered at the draw
Eyes fixed on his mask of doom
I heard him tell the sheriff
One question will be my last
Before I hang dead and stiff
Please cowboys sing what I ask

Sing me back to the old corral
With cowboy songs of yesteryear
Before I must hang from on high
Sing me a cowboy song of cheer
Sing me back to the old corral
Before I have to hang and die

- instrumental -

He said I remember Mama
Raising me up to be real good
And I recall the songs she sang
I'd sing them for you if I could
Cowboys sing for me and Mama
Some old kindly songs if you would
Not the kind for an outlaw gang
I wish back then I'd understood

Sing me back to the old corral
With cowboy songs of yesteryear
Before I must hang from on high
Sing me a cowboy song of cheer
Sing me back to the old corral
Before I have to hang and die
A Million Moons Ago (Larry W. Jones 11/17/2007) (song#5162)

Seems there's a million moons behind me
And there will be more that rise and go
I doubt if she'll ever be able to find me
In my disguise on this ol' freight train rollin' slow
Don't know why she treated me so low
She was my love, seems like a million moons ago

A million moons ago I didn't feel this bad
Cause I thought I could hold onto the dream I had
I know I shouldn't feel so sad
I'm rollin' down a track of woe
She was my love, seems like a million moons ago

I must have kissed her tender lips
Seems like a million times or more
But time rendered the moon into eclipse
And darkness came when she walked out the door
That's why I feel so bad, I know
Like this ol' freight train's horn that's moanin' low
She was my love, seems like a million moons ago

- instrumental -

I must have kissed her tender lips
Seems like a million times or more
But time rendered the moon into eclipse
And darkness came when she walked out the door

A million moons ago I didn't feel this bad
Cause I thought I could hold onto the dream I had
I know I shouldn't feel so sad
I'm rollin' down a track of woe
She was my love, seems like a million moons ago
Nearly (Larry W. Jones 11/18/2007) (song#5163)

Nearly, you stood here by my side
Nearly, you would have been my bride
But every vow you made somehow
Broke like a weeping willow's bough
And left me with tears I can't hide

Nearly, my hopes and dreams came true
Nearly, it seemed you loved me too
But somebody else came along
And he stole your hand with his song
I owned you heart and soul, nearly

- instrumental - 

Nearly, bells of matrimony rung
Nearly, our wedding song was sung
But I remember now the way
You said those words you had to say
And how the meaning of them stung

Nearly, my life I felt was blessed
Nearly, I heard you tell me yes
But now my hopes of holding you
Are folding as my dreams are too
My world had turned to gold, nearly

But now my hopes of holding you
Are folding as my dreams are too
My world had turned to gold, nearly
The Blues Never Go Out Of Style (Larry W. Jones 11/18/2007) (song#5164)

They say the blues never goes out of style
I know it's true cause I cry like a child
Those who say time heals just don't know the feel
Of a broken heart that's been torn apart
Now I can't smile because the blues
The blues never go out of style

I tried to tell myself that I don't care
Lied to myself bout playing solitaire
I went and joined a class to study art
But I never passed drawing broken hearts
Now I can't draw because the blues
The blues never go out of style

- instrumental -

I tried to tell myself that I don't care
Lied to myself bout playing solitaire
I went and joined a class to study art
But I never passed drawing broken hearts

They say the blues never goes out of style
I know it's true cause I cry like a child
Those who say time heals just don't know the feel
Of a broken heart that's been torn apart
Now I can't smile because the blues
The blues never go out of style
The blues never go out of style
Tune Of Sadness (Larry W. Jones 11/18/2007) (song#5165)

Play for me a tune of sadness
Play it just as sad as I feel
And if you see me frown
It's cause she's no longer around
Play for me a tune of sadness
And please play it for real

I know she's upset with me
And yet I still love her so
You can bet I hate to see
That sweetheart girl of mine go

- instrumental -

I know she's upset with me
And yet I still love her so
You can bet I hate to see
That sweetheart girl of mine go

Play for me a tune of sadness
That will make the moon lose its glow
I've lost anything called gladness
Just play it very sad and low
Play for me a tune of sadness
Don't just play it for show

Play for me a tune of sadness
Play it just as sad as I feel
Gonna Disappear (Larry W. Jones 11/18/2007) (song#5166)

Tonight I feel like singin' the blues some more
Cause I never thought that you would walk
Out the door, dear
Why'd you go away

Tonight I'm sittin' here with tears in my eyes
Askin' why you told all of those lies
In disguise, dear
I've been betrayed

The sun no longer feels as warm
I feel the coming of a storm
The only thing that I can do
Is sing the blues because of you

Well, tonight I just feel like hoppin' a freight
Headin' out of town cause it's too late
For your love, dear
Gonna disappear

- instrumental -

The sun no longer feels as warm
I feel the coming of a storm
The only thing that I can do
Is sing the blues because of you

Well, tonight I just feel like hoppin' a freight
Headin' out of town cause it's too late
For your love, dear
Gonna disappear
I'm Sitting On Top Of The World (Larry W. Jones 11/18/2007) (song#5167)

Walking in the rain or standing in the sun
I've been waiting for my number one
But now she's coming home and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Well, it was in the spring when she went away
Couldn't eat a thing, my skies were gray
But now she's coming home and I don't worry
Yeah, I'm sitting on top of the world

I went to the depot and the switching yard
Trying to find her train was real hard
But now she's coming home and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

- instrumental -

So many were the days I called out her name
Thought that I was calling out in vain
But now she's coming home and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Seen some lonely days when I was on my own
Only thing I cared about was gone
But now she's coming home and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

I can see her running, holding up her hand 
Wondered if she'd forgotten her man
But now she's coming home and I don't worry
Man I'm sitting on top of the world
Fool Hearted Me (Larry W. Jones 11/19/2007) (song#5168)

Fool hearted me, fool hearted me
Well, I let my heart go astray
In fact, I just gave it away
Fool hearted me

I left it in care of a girl
Who had not a care in the world
Fool hearted me
I know I should have been wiser
I was a fool to not size her
Now she's long gone and set me free
And all the world can clearly see
Fool hearted me

- instrumental -

Fool hearted me, fool hearted me
She said I was her everything
I bought a big engagement ring
Fool hearted me

I gave her a car that ran so fine
She ran away with a friend of mine
Fool hearted me
That girl told me that she loved me so
Then she ran around with so and so
She molded my fool heart just like clay
Then she cruelly threw it far away
Fool hearted me

Fool, fool hearted me
Fool hearted me
Yeah, fool hearted me
Oh, me
May You Never Ride Alone (Larry W. Jones 11/19/2007) (song#5169)

Like a longhorn that has lost its sight
I'm so forlorn and lonesome tonight
My dream has died on the lone prairie
May you never ride alone like me

I believed you when you told me
You would be mine and we'd marry
Now I ride alone and so blue
Just because I believed in you

- instrumental -

I believed you when you told me
You would be mine and we'd marry
Now I ride alone and so blue
Just because I believed in you

I left the ranch house that was my home
When you said you would love me alone
Now I'm alone, my dreams not to be
May you never ride alone like me

Now I'm alone, my dreams not to be
May you never ride alone like me
In The Middle Of The Night (Larry W. Jones 11/19/2007) (song#5170)

In the middle of the night
I'm thinking another day has passed without you
In the middle of the night
I'm thinking that tomorrow will be sad and blue

It gets so lonesome in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night without you
I fiddle around with no light trying to see
Just which way to go, left or right, for me
I should be sound asleep but the hours drag so slow
I lie and weep because I miss you so

- instrumental -

In the middle of the night
I'm thinking another day has passed without you
In the middle of the night
I'm thinking that tomorrow will be sad and blue

In the middle of the night
I lie in bed and stare at shadows on the wall
In the middle of the night
I know you don't care but I still wish you would call
In the middle of the night
My tears for you, my dear, are like a waterfall
Mighty Mustang (Larry W. Jones 11/20/2007) (song#5171)

Across the snowy prairie wild and free
The mustang runs just like the blowing wind was meant to be
The mustang knows the winter snows will bring
The sun and pretty flowers in the meadows in the spring

Yesterday my heart was so happy and at play
I let it lead me through my childhood every day
But today I now know the burden that it cost
My heart is feeling low for what it knows it lost

Mustang now stretch your legs and run away
And won't you let me ride upon your back
Across the prairie to a brighter day
The cowboy that I loved has made me blue
Mustang run with the breeze and let me please
Ride away with you

- instrumental -

The cottonwoods along the ridge look cold and gray
Like the cowboy's heart that broke mine when he rode away
So, mighty mustang, run to where the sunlight glows
And let me ride along to find love's new rainbow

Mustang now stretch your legs and run away
And won't you let me ride upon your back
Across the prairie to a brighter day
The cowboy that I loved has made me blue
Mustang run with the breeze and let me please
Ride away with you

Mustang run with the breeze and let me please
Ride away with you
It's Outstanding (Larry W. Jones 11/20/2007) (song#5172)

I'm not one to fish for attention
I never wished for attention for goodness sakes
I'm not one most people would mention
Cause I don't have what having successfulness takes

I'm not one to have great big dreams
Love was always something for someone else
But sometimes this world has its schemes
That takes a sad heart from off of the shelf

It's outstanding that surprises can come
From out of places where there was no sun
It's outstanding, hard to believe it's true
Standing beside me is beautiful you

- instrumental -

Hold my hand, darling, and never let go
I'll stand beside you as you stand by me
Your love's more precious that all the world's gold
My darling, I'll love you outstandingly

It's outstanding that surprises can come
From out of places where there was no sun
It's outstanding, hard to believe it's true
Standing beside me is beautiful you
Which Cowboy's In Love (Larry W. Jones 12/02/2007) (song#5173)

It's strange Ma'am, but true Ma'am
When I'm near to you, Ma'am
Bright stars fill the sky all the way to Siam
Which cowboy's in love with you Ma'am, I am

One thing I can't do without, Ma'am
Is having you round about, Ma'am
Dear, you can turn a steer into a lamb
Which cowboy's in love with you Ma'am, I am

This love I am in is mysterious
As is the prairie night when you are there
This love I am in is so serious
This cowboy wants to fill your every care

- instrumental -

One thing I can't do without
Is having you round about

This love I am in is mysterious
As is the prairie night when you are there
This love I am in is so serious
This cowboy wants to fill your every care

Ma'am, never taunt me or hurt me
Tell me that you won't desert me
My love is true and not a sham
Which cowboy's in love
Which cowboy's in love
Which cowboy's in love with you Ma'am, I am
Back In My Cowboy Days (Larry W. Jones 12/02/2007) (song#5174)

Back in my cowboy days, I'd ride to town each Friday night
Now at the ranch house I stay, with you by the lantern light
Before I became a man, I set all the trails ablaze
I used to ride in rodeos, back in my cowboy days

I tried out everything, like a rodeo clown
Sometimes I wonder why I'm even still around
Now I thank you each night for changing all my ways
When I became your man, back in my cowboy days

My dear, it seems like yesterday
As if in dreams I heard you say
You'd be mine til our hair turns grey
And then forever you would stay

- instrumental -

I turn the photo album pages now with joy
Every photograph is a treasure time cannot destroy
My dear, with your gaze you still set my world ablaze
Since I became your man, back in my cowboy days

My dear, with your gaze you still set my world ablaze
Since I became your man, back in my cowboy days
It Just Don't Seem Right (Larry W. Jones 12/02/2007) (song#5175)

It just don't seem right to be wrong for so long
Thought I could get along without our love song
Oh no, it just don't seem right deep in the night
Dreaming that I could live without you in sight
It's too late, I know, to say I miss you so
It just don't seem right to be wrong for so long

Darling, I never knew how I would miss you
And how I would miss your sweet kiss too
I sing a broken song, of a love long gone
Oh no, it just don't seem right deep in the night
If you'd come back to me, I would make things right
It just don't seem right to be wrong for so long

- instrumental -

It's too late, I know, to say I miss you so
It just don't seem right to be wrong for so long

Darling, I never knew how I would miss you
And how I would miss your sweet kiss too
I sing a broken song, of a love long gone
Oh no, it just don't seem right deep in the night
If you'd come back to me, I would make things right
It just don't seem right to be wrong for so long

If you'd come back to me, I would make things right
It just don't seem right to be wrong for so long
Back On The Trail Again (Larry W. Jones 12/03/2007) (song#5176)

I'm back on the trail again
Riding from another jail again
Looking through that veil again
Losing weight and growing mighty thin
I'm back on the trail again

Again I feel those tears from my eyes
No one to heal the pain from my cries
Again I have to wear my disguise
I'm back on the trail again

I remember back a spell when the world was swell
Now the trail to her love belongs to someone else
I'm back on the trail riding by myself

- instrumental -

So I'm thinking of her again
As I'm blinking through the blur again
On the trail my pony feels my spur again
I'm back on the trail again

I remember back a spell when the world was swell
Now the trail to her love belongs to someone else
I'm back on the trail riding by myself

So I'm thinking of her again
As I'm blinking through the blur again
On the trail my pony feels my spur again
I'm back on the trail again
My Broken Heart Is On The Mend (Larry W. Jones 12/03/2007) (song#5177)

Hot pancakes and coffee sweet with cream
The rest of today will be a pleasant dream
Each day I'm in clover kissed with dew
Every morning I start over loving you

My broken heart is on the mend
Blue memories have come to an end
My eyes now have no tears to dry
Since you said your love will never die

- instrumental -

Each day I'm in clover kissed with dew
Every morning I start over loving you

No more old saloons at night
Pure gold is the moon's soft light
And when I hold you in my arm's embrace
I see the love that forms upon your face

My broken heart is on the mend
Blue memories have come to an end
My eyes now have no tears to dry
Since you said your love will never die
Sold Down The River (Larry W. Jones 12/03/2007) (song#5178)

The love is gone that you promised neath the moon
Gone like the robins in the Fall
All my sunny days have now turned into gloom
You robbed me of dreams, big and small

I've been sold down the river in the middle of the stream
And little did I know of your deceitful scheme
I've been sold down the river on a raft that you would burn
When you laughed then I knew you would never return

The love is gone and the weather's turning cold
I'd rather this dream had an end
You must have thought better of your pearls and gold
Than to have my love as your friend

- instrumental -

Darling, you don't care how much I sit and cry
And that my heart is broken too
One of these days your own dreams may fade and die
Then you will know my love was true

I've been sold down the river in the middle of the stream
And little did I know of your deceitful scheme
I've been sold down the river on a raft that you would burn
When you laughed then I knew you would never return
I'm Done With Crying In The Rain (Larry W. Jones 12/04/2007) (song#5179)

Darling, I guess that you could see
How my poor heart was hurting me
Now I have to say I'm so glad you came my way
You eased all my sorrow and pain
I'm done with crying in the rain

I'm through with all those cloudy skies
There'll be no more rain from my eyes
And darling, you must know how much I love you so
No more sad heartaches will remain
I'm done with crying in the rain

Dear, you must have come from heaven
You took away my misery
Now there's no more stormy weather
Since you and I are together
Lonely teardrops just cannot be

Crying in the rain is now done
You brought with you the warming sun
For your endeavor, my darling you will never
Ever hear any words that complain
I'm done with crying in the rain

- instrumental -

Dear, you must have come from heaven
You took away my misery
Now there's no more stormy weather
Since you and I are together
Lonely teardrops just cannot be

Crying in the rain is now done
You brought with you the warming sun
For your endeavor, my darling you will never
Ever hear any words that complain
I'm done with crying in the rain
Gold Of The Moon Turned Into Rust (Larry W. Jones 12/04/2007) (song#5180)

Love is a poem that lovers all recite
It reads like a song deep in the night
But the words can get crossed and the meaning sometimes lost
Treasures that were gold becomes a penny that was tossed

Once you said you loved me and I had your trust
Then a strange wind came and so cold was its gust
It blew away your love, blew away my trust
The lovely gold of the moon turned into rust

It blew away your love, blew away my trust
The lovely gold of the moon turned into rust

- instrumental -

In school I had teachers, some were kind and some were cruel
Love is a creature that in time can make one a fool
It comes and then it goes, at least that's the way it feels
And I know that when it goes, through the dust it reveals

It blew away your love, blew away my trust
The lovely gold of the moon turned into rust
The lovely gold of the moon turned into rust
Some Fine Day (Larry W. Jones 12/04/2007) (song#5181)

Some fine day
I will search for you and find you
Some fine day
I will find a way, it is true
Some fine day
You'll have a sign to remind you
I have a dream
Of some fine day finding you

Some fine day
When all the fields are in clover
Some fine day
When you'll see the new blush of Spring
Your soul will discover
Another soul born as your lover
Then I will be king
In the heart of a queen

- instrumental -

Some fine day
You'll have a sign to remind you
I have a dream
Of some fine day finding you

Some fine day
When all the fields are in clover
Some fine day
When you'll see the new blush of Spring
Your soul will discover
Another soul born as your lover
Then I will be king
In the heart of a queen
Down The Trail I Go (Larry W. Jones 12/04/2007) (song#5182)

I won't even bother for the right words to say
Saw my darlin' with another cowboy today
She knows how much I love her cause I told her so
Put on some new horse shoes and down the trail I go

I never did see that cowboy before today
But he held my darlin' in some familiar way
Now it may seem peculiar but here's what I know
Put on some new horse shoes and down the trail I go

- instrumental -

Well, I thought my darlin's thoughts were the same as mine
And I'd like to think our likes were about the same
Our future all was planned and I thought all was fine
Until into our town that cowboy stranger came

I never did see that cowboy before today
But he held my darlin' in some familiar way
Now it may seem peculiar but here's what I know
Put on some new horse shoes and down the trail I go

Now it may seem peculiar but here's what I know
Put on some new horse shoes and down the trail I go
Heart Made Of Stone (Larry W. Jones 12/04/2007) (song#5183)

I never let love plant seeds very deep
I told my heart it was useless to try
For looking back on the loves I had known
Seeds that were planted just withered and died
Then you came along and you caught my eye
You planted love's flower in a heart made of stone

The garden that you tended was once left alone
With old seeds of love scattered to places unknown
You planted love's flower in a heart made of stone

- instrumental -

I thought I could hide but that was only my pride
I told my heart that all true love had died
I was just too afraid to again let love live
I started to roam and never looked for a home
Then you came along with so much true love to give
You planted love's flower in a heart made of stone

The garden that you tended was once left alone
With old seeds of love scattered to places unknown
You planted love's flower in a heart made of stone
You planted love's flower in a heart made of stone
The Best Love Songs I Wrote For You (Larry W. Jones 12/05/2007) (song#5184)

Tomorrow when words are said and done
When I'll be dead and my life's been run
You'll be wearing black and looking back
At all the love songs that folks have sung
I sure hope they sing a few of mine
I'd write more rhymes if I had more time

I wrote a few for the dollar
And I wrote a few just for fun
I wrote a few, away they flew
I guess never will those be sung
I wrote a few for my mother
And a few were for my brother
But of the rest now, this is true
The best love songs I wrote for you

Tomorrow when words are said and done
And your feet tread where there ain't no sun
You'll dread to have my name carved in stone
The days when I'm born and when I'm gone
Be sure to get one that's big enough
To carve these words and some other stuff

He wrote a few for the dollar
And he wrote a few just for fun
He wrote a few, away they flew
He knew those would never be sung
He wrote a few for his mother
And a few were for his brother
But of the rest now, all can agree
The best love songs he wrote for me

I wrote a few for the dollar
And I wrote a few just for fun
I wrote a few, away they flew
I guess never will those be sung
I wrote a few for my mother
And a few were for my brother
But of the rest now, this is true
The best love songs I wrote for you

But of the rest now, this is true
The best love songs I wrote for you
Our Old Love Affair (Larry W. Jones 12/05/2007) (song#5185)

Last night as I lay sleeping on my pillow
I saw a vision of you standing there
When I awoke the tears fell like a willow
It was a dream of our old love affair

I remember the first time that I saw you
A halo seemed to rest upon your hair
An angel of the morning's what I called you
Oh how I mourn for our old love affair

- instrumental -

Now each new day as I live through life's sorrow
Memories of you are so hard to bear
I know that before I awake tomorrow
A dream I'll have of our old love affair

I guess you will never know how I miss you
Dear, it seems that you didn't really care
But once again my darling, I will kiss you
I'll dream tonight of our old love affair

But once again my darling, I will kiss you
I'll dream tonight of our old love affair
Heartbeat In Rhythm With Mine (Larry W. Jones 12/05/2007) (song#5186)

Shopping malls and fancy dining halls
Are just walls where money rules as king
Limousine cars and fast sleek Jaguars
To me those are not important things
Cause money and things can disappear
What I need is something much more dear

I need something that I can have and a lifetime feel
Something that I know is very real

I need to feel a heartbeat in the night time
Until it's daylight time
I need to feel a heartbeat in the night time
That's In rhythm with mine

Some women go for fine furs and gold
Doesn't go with my philosophy
Gold sure looks warm but it's really cold
It can do harm to your sanity
Cause money and things can disappear
What I need is something much more dear

I need something that I can have and a lifetime feel
Something that I know is very real

I need to feel a heartbeat in the night time
Until it's daylight time
I need to feel a heartbeat in the night time
That's In rhythm with mine

A heartbeat in rhythm with mine
A heartbeat in rhythm with mine
Nobody That Somebody Loves (Larry W. Jones 12/05/2007) (song#5187)

I know her looks aren't very charmin'
But she still suits me to a tee
And something deep inside is warmin'
Abiding in this heart of me

She's nobody that somebody loves
That nobody is mine, mine, mine
She's nobody that somebody loves
Cause to me she's just fine, fine, fine

She's nobody that somebody will marry soon
For her love I would die, die, die
She's nobody that somebody will write a tune
About a happy, happy guy

- instrumental -

She thinks she's just a Cinderella
Who doesn't even try, try, try
To find for her a lovin' fella
She doesn't know that I'm her guy

She's nobody that somebody loves
That nobody is mine, mine, mine
She's nobody that somebody loves
Cause to me she's just fine, fine, fine

She's nobody that somebody loves
She's nobody that somebody loves
Faultless Memory (Larry W. Jones 12/05/2007) (song#5188)

Back when we married, I was her faultless man
That's what she remembers looking at her band
She only saw the good, not the bad in me
It's good that she has a faultless memory

She only saw the good, no remembrance of the bad
I wish now that I would have seen more of what I had
I'm glad that she recalls all good things that came to be
For love I owe my all to her faultless memory

- instrumental -

The kids are grown and the hard times are a blur
And I've never known another friend like her
I can find no fault in her true love for me
It's good that she has a faultless memory

She only saw the good, no remembrance of the bad
I wish now that I would have seen more of what I had
I'm glad that she recalls all good things that came to be
For love I owe my all to her faultless memory

Now, I know she knows the way things really were
To all the hard times she never does refer
She'll be my best friend into eternity
I love her ways and her faultless memory
Some Rustler Stole My Cowgirl (Larry W. Jones 12/06/2007) (song#5189)

Well, I'm just a cowboy who's lonesome and blue
Got no joy in something that I never knew
I used to laugh at cowboys who looked so sad
Til I lost the best cowgirl I ever had

Some rustler stole my cowgirl
Some rustler stole my cowgirl
He hustled her away and now I'm grievin'
She didn't even tell me she was leavin'
Those cowgirl kisses that I loved so
That rustler is getting now, I know
Now if she could only hear my plea
Maybe she would ride back home to me
Some rustler stole my cowgirl
Some rustler stole my cowgirl

- instrumental -
 
Not all angels come from up above
For that cowgirl was my prairie love
She is still my angel though she's gone
I'm just a cowboy who's all alone

Some rustler stole my cowgirl
Some rustler stole my cowgirl
He hustled her away and now I'm grievin'
She didn't even tell me she was leavin'
Those cowgirl kisses that I loved so
That rustler is getting now, I know
Now if she could only hear my plea
Maybe she would ride back home to me
Some rustler stole my cowgirl
Some rustler stole my cowgirl

Old Black Bart came riding along
And stole the heart of my cowgirl
You'll Need Someone To Hold You (Larry W. Jones 12/06/2007) (song#5190)

Your old suitcase is ready at the door
And you told him you couldn't take no more
You'll be on your own when you say goodbye
You'll need someone to hold you when you cry

You'll need someone to talk to when you're blue
Someone you can trust, who will walk with you
I can be that someone, just let me try
You'll need someone to hold you when you cry

- instrumental -

You'll need someone to talk to when you're blue
Someone you can trust, who will walk with you

Weather's cold but you know it's time to go 
No one to hold you when you're feeling low
He told you the last time the same old lie
You'll need someone to hold you when you cry

You'll need someone to talk to when you're blue
Someone you can trust, who will walk with you
I can be that someone, just let me try
You'll need someone to hold you when you cry
Someday When I See You Again (Larry W. Jones 12/10/2007) (song#5191)

Someday I will see you again
Someday I will see you, I know it will be you
You hold the key to my dreaming
And on that day when you I see, love will decree
My dreams you will be redeeming

No matter the weather, I'll love you forever
Past sorrows I'll be forgetting
Oh my darling, let me see you, let it be you
For there will be no regretting
Someday when I see you again

- instrumental -

No matter the weather, I'll love you forever
Past sorrows I'll be forgetting

Someday I will see you again
Someday I will see you, I know it will be you
You hold the key to my dreaming
And on that day when you I see, love will decree
My dreams you will be redeeming

No matter the weather, I'll love you forever
Past sorrows I'll be forgetting
Oh my darling, let me see you, let it be you
For there will be no regretting
Someday when I see you again
I'll Forget Needing You (Larry W. Jones 12/10/2007) (song#5192)

Tomorrow dear, you'll need me to need you
But I'll be in love with somebody new
Tomorrow you'll need someone to plead to
When you're feeling so blue
You'll regret what your broken vows lead to

Tomorrow dear, you'll need me to need you
Now darling, I don't aim to mislead you
But tomorrow I won't need to need you
I won't be feeling blue
Cause tomorrow I'll forget needing you

- instrumental -

Tomorrow dear, you'll need me to need you
Now darling, I don't aim to mislead you
But tomorrow I won't need to need you
I won't be feeling blue
Cause tomorrow I'll forget needing you

But tomorrow I won't need to need you
I won't be feeling blue
Cause tomorrow I'll forget needing you
Somewhere Along The Trail (Larry W. Jones 12/10/2007) (song#5193)

Dear, I used to ride with you
Under prairie skies of blue
We rode every hill and vale
I never dreamed I'd lose you
Somewhere along the trail

Cowboys we used to know
Called out Howdy and Hello
Said our love would never fail
How it slipped away, I don't know
Somewhere along the trail

I know I should forget
But in the lonesome prairie night
Sad whippoorwills begin to wail
They know you're gone, and yet
I feel down deep inside
Our love will still prevail

Everywhere I look for you
Under prairie skies of blue
I ride every hill and vale
And dream that I'll still find you
Somewhere along the trail

- instrumental -

I know I should forget
But in the lonesome prairie night
Sad whippoorwills begin to wail
They know you're gone, and yet
I feel down deep inside
Our love will still prevail

Everywhere I look for you
Under prairie skies of blue
I ride every hill and vale
And dream that I'll still find you
Somewhere along the trail
Saying So Long (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2007) (song#5194)

Dear, we don't need to discuss it again
This is the last stanza of our song
The final words bring me so much pain
I'm not so strong at saying So Long

Dear, try not to let me see you go
Or else I might try to tag along
My heart might die cause I love you so
To me I thought you'd always belong

So Longs are never easy anyhow
I know you don't think leavin' is wrong
Of no grievin' I'll have to disavow
I'm not so strong at saying So Long

- instrumental -

Dear, try not to let me see you go
Or else I might try to tag along
My heart might die cause I love you so
To me I thought you'd always belong

So Longs are never easy anyhow
I know you don't think leavin' is wrong
Of no grievin' I'll have to disavow
I'm not so strong at saying So Long
Nothing Can Replace My Love For You (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2007) (song#5195)

These cowboy boots and front porch chair
Were in better shape yesterday
I see the thinning in my hair
Might as well throw my comb away
And this Stetson hat on my head
It has a band of sweat and grime
Things need replaced before I'm dead
Except for one that's still in prime

Nothing can replace my love for you
Because you're my everything, it's true
Darling, your sweet love makes each day new
Nothing can replace my love for you

- instrumental -

I'll need boots and a front porch chair
In better shape than these today
Can't do nothing about my hair
Most of it's already gone grey
And this Stetson hat on my head
Well, I guess it ain't worth a dime
Things need replaced before I'm dead
Except for one that's still in prime

Nothing can replace my love for you
Because you're my everything, it's true
Darling, your sweet love makes each day new
Nothing can replace my love for you
Nothing can replace my love for you
When I Call Out Her Name (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2007) (song#5196)

Like a sign by the road that points to the leavin'
The sad wind in the willow knows why I'm grievin'
My true love has left me and I know I'm to blame
What I know I can't hide are these feelings inside
When I call out her name

I call out her name again and again
It seems I can't get her out of my brain
Memories are a fire filled with desire
And the burning flame only goes higher
When I call out her name

- instrumental -

I see her bittersweet dreams dance here around me
As my mind goes back to the time when she found me
Her sweet love was a harbor that my ship called home
Now I haven't an anchor in this hurricane
When I call out her name

I call out her name again and again
It seems I can't get her out of my brain
Memories are a fire filled with desire
And the burning flame only goes higher
When I call out her name

Memories are a fire filled with desire
And the burning flame only goes higher
When I call out her name
I Can Tell Tell Tell I Do (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2007) (song#5197)

Oh well, well, well, you left me blue
Dear, I can tell, tell, tell that you wanted to
Well, well, well I'll tell myself I don't need you
But i can tell, tell, tell I do

My dreams have all been defeated
Like some sad line out of an old country song
My heart I know has been cheated
Guess I just let you string, string, string me along

- instrumental -

I think of you every second
Of every minute dear, when you're not around
And I just can't help it, that's what I reckon
Since I heard that sad farewell sound

Oh well, well, well, you left me blue
Dear, I can tell, tell, tell that you wanted to
Well, well, well I'll tell myself I don't need you
But I can tell, tell, tell I do

Well, well, well I'll tell myself I don't need you
But I can tell, tell, tell I do
I can tell, tell, tell I do
I can tell, tell, tell I do
I Can't Get Around To Getting Over You (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2007) (song#5198)

I can't take your portrait off the bureau
And I can't take your pillow off the bed
I can't believe you no longer love me
I tell myself I don't believe a shred

I can't take the night light from the window
Dear, I keep thinking you might see its glow
I can't forget how cold the wind did blow
On that day when you said that you would go

I can't get around to getting over you
No matter what I say or what I do
And though it's bound to keep me feeling blue
I can't get around to getting over you

- instrumental -

When you left, you said I should forget you
You said that I would find somebody else
But I can't take back vows of love so true
So I'll just put my heart upon the shelf

I can't get around to getting over you
No matter what I say or what I do
And though it's bound to keep me feeling blue
I can't get around to getting over you

I can't get around to getting over you
No matter what I say or what I do
and though it's bound to keep me feeling blue
I can't get around to getting over you
Old Red River Road (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2007) (song#5199)

A new paved road comes down from Bobcat Pass
Brings tourists around into town enmass
But they all miss the Upper Valley view
Now the new paved road is an easy climb
But I'll take the old Red River Road every time

The old Red River Road just winds along
Easy as the lines of a slow love song
Wind in Ponderosa pines sound like chimes
Yeah, I'll take the old Red River Road every time

Lately most drive so fast that they can't stop
They can't wait to pass on the new black top
To me, that daily grind will never rhyme
So I'll take the old Red River Road every time

- instrumental -

The old red River Road, may it not fade
On it the elk and deer have right of way
Aspencade is magic in Autumn time
Yeah, I'll take the old Red River Road every time

The old Red River Road just winds along
Easy as the lines of a slow love song
Wind in Ponderosa pines sound like chimes
Yeah, I'll take the old Red River Road every time
Abide Beside Me (Larry W. Jones 12/18/2007) (song#5200)

Abide beside me, do not deny me
Abide beside me ever and a day
And darling, if you ever see me blue
Then you will know just what your love will do

For your true love will abide beside me
I know that you won't leave me all alone
Dear, I see no cloud above you
I'll forever be proud of you
And my heart you will always own

- instrumental -

Darling, be my star and guide me along
And I'll be where you are with love so strong

Abide beside me, do not deny me
In my heart resides love I can't ignore
Our love was meant to be, yes, you and me
A love that will abide forevermore

Abide beside me, do not deny me
In my heart resides love I can't ignore
Our love was meant to be, yes, you and me
A love that will abide forevermore
