Everyone Loves A Train Song (Larry W. Jones 06/27/2008) (song#5501)

I heard the train a-coming on a Georgia night
Cold rain was falling in the locomotive light
She was waiting in the rain, waiting for the train

She was an outbound woman
Leaving on the outbound train was her scheme
Left me standing in the rain
Searching in vain, the reason for her dream

Everyone loves a train song
Cause everyone's heard the sound of the outward bound
Everyone loves a train song
Cause dreams seem to disappear where they can't be found

Everyone loves a train song
On a rainy night in Georgia, it don't seem right
Everyone loves a train song
But this old train song is breaking my heart tonight

Play me another train song
Though the feeling don't seem right
Play me another train song
On this rainy Georgia night

- instrumental -

Everyone loves a train song
Cause everyone's heard the sound of the outward bound
Everyone loves a train song
Cause dreams seem to disappear where they can't be found

Everyone loves a train song
On a rainy night in Georgia, it don't seem right
Everyone loves a train song
But this old train song is breaking my heart tonight

Play me another train song
Though the feeling don't seem right
Play me another train song
On this rainy Georgia night
Live And Learn (Larry W. Jones 06/28/2008) (song#5502)

Live and learn how it is to live in sorrow
Live and learn how it feels when you've been burned
How it is to lose your dreams of tomorrow
When good things turn out wrong, you'll live and learn

Live and learn how it is when love's departed
Live and learn how a lonely heart can yearn
How it is to know that you're broken hearted
When good things turn out wrong, you'll live and learn

If you see your man with another girl
Then you'll know what you have done to my world
Live and learn how it is to stop dreaming
How it is to see all your bridges burned
Dear, one day you'll pay for all your scheming
When good things turn out wrong, you'll live and learn

- instrumental -

Live and learn how it is when love's departed
Live and learn how a lonely heart can yearn
How it is to know that you're broken hearted
When good things turn out wrong, you'll live and learn

If you see your man with another girl
Then you'll know what you have done to my world
Live and learn how it is to stop dreaming
How it is to see all your bridges burned
Dear, one day you'll pay for all your scheming
When good things turn out wrong, you'll live and learn
Roundhouse At The Switchyard (Larry W. Jones 06/28/2008) (song#5503)

The roundhouse at the switchyard is where all freight trains come in
They turn the locomotives 'round and send 'em out again
I strolled up to a rounder and told him some of my tales
The rounder said that hobos weren't allowed to ride the rails
Well, I waited for the next freight train's outbound whistle roar
By the roundhouse at the switchyard, I closed the boxcar door

Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee, Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee

Well, I rode that train to Texas, where I was dreaming of
Across wide open prairies with the moon and stars above
I rode the rails to Frisco, it wasn't the promised land
So I headed back to Texas, not a dime in my hand
The roundhouse at the switchyard is where all freight trains come in
Now I'm staying around Texas where all my dreams have been

Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee, Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee

Well, I rode that train to Texas, where I was dreaming of
Across wide open prairies with the moon and stars above
I rode the rails to Frisco, it wasn't the promised land
So I headed back to Texas, not a dime in my hand
The roundhouse at the switchyard is where all freight trains come in
Now I'm staying around Texas where all my dreams have been

Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee, Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee
Bottom Dollar Song Of Love (Larry W. Jones 07/04/2008) (song#5504)

Well, I guess I'm down to where I belong
And I'm bound to move along
Bet my bottom dollar she won't return
I guess the bottom line is, live and learn

Now, I've been down this road a time or two
And it's a heavy load to sing the blues
There's no use in trying to tag along
Singing a bottom of the barrel song of love

Well, I'm down to my bottom dollar song
Sweet dreams don't come 'round like they did before
The lines in my love songs came out all wrong
They're not as strong since she walked out the door
Yes, I'm down to my bottom dollar song of love

- instrumental -

My arms once held the treasure of a dream
Worth more than what a million dollars seem
She was a love song that came from above
Now she's gone and I'm down at the bottom of love

Well, I'm down to my bottom dollar song
Sweet dreams don't come 'round like they did before
The lines in my love songs came out all wrong
They're not as strong since she walked out the door
Yes, I'm down to my bottom dollar song of love
The Zephyr Breeze (Larry W. Jones 07/04/2008) (song#5505)

The Zephyr breeze is a vagabond breeze
A vagabond breeze that loves to ramble
And I am bound to go where I please
Go where I please like the Zephyr breeze

In a lonely town when the sun went down
I was born one night
And a freight train horn sounded so forlorn
My heart would scorn all that seemed right

The Zephyr breeze is a vagabond breeze
A vagabond breeze that loves to ramble
And I am bound to go where I please
Go where I please like the Zephyr breeze

- instrumental -

Now, I found a girl in a coffee shop
And I asked her to be my own
But the Zephyr breeze just wouldn't stop
Now she's still there and I'm still gone

The Zephyr breeze is a vagabond breeze
A vagabond breeze that loves to ramble
And I am bound to go where I please
Go where I please like the Zephyr breeze
Like the Zephyr breeze
Like the Zephyr breeze
Plenty More (Larry W. Jones 07/04/2008) (song#5506)

Dear, you know I'm waiting for the mailman
I'm waiting for your letter at my door
My darling, send me one and plenty more
Send me one and plenty more

I wrote how I wait for the phone to ring
To hear the voice of someone I adore
My darling, call me once and plenty more
Call me once and plenty more

Dear, think of the love we shared
Way back when you really cared
Now, my poor heart's still breaking
Started with love's aching
I need your love as before
Your love, I need plenty more
Your love, I need plenty more

- instrumental -

Dear, think of the love we shared
Way back when you really cared
Now, my poor heart's still breaking
Started with love's aching
I need your love as before
Your love, I need plenty more
Your love, I need plenty more

I need your love as before
Your love, I need plenty more
East To West And Wall To Wall (Larry W. Jones 07/05/2008) (song#5507)

It falls on the walls in the house where I once lived
And on the floor in the light that the fireplace gives
Ever since I left that house, I've been in a fix
It falls on motel walls along Route Sixty Six

East to West and wall to wall
North to South her mem'ry falls
Makes me feel like three feet tall
East to West and wall to wall

I know California is called the Golden State
But I've lost the real gold to which my mind relates
Her mem'ry follows me from shore to shining shore
And I'm pining for her more than ever before

East to West and wall to wall
North to South her mem'ry falls
Makes me feel like three feet tall
East to West and wall to wall

- instrumental -

I'm rolling down Highway Sixty Six with mem'ries I recall
My mind is playing tricks with visions of someone five feet tall

East to West and wall to wall
North to South her mem'ry falls
Makes me feel like three feet tall
East to West and wall to wall
Rose Of Doom (Larry W. Jones 07/05/2008) (song#5508)

Here in this cellblock I'm so lonely
They won't unlock me from this pen
About my love I'm thinking only
And all those good times that might have been

She sent me a rose as a symbol
Of her love for me in the bloom
In my hand her red rose will tremble
When they have lead me to my doom

The warden said he just don't believe
Anything that I've got to say
But I'm not guilty, and so I grieve
For someone's sin I have to pay

- instrumental -

She sent me a rose as a symbol
Of her love for me in the bloom
In my hand her red rose will tremble
When they have lead me to my doom

So long darling, the sun will soon rise
It won't be long now, I suppose
Love for you I never compromized
Next to my heart the warden will find your rose
San Antone Stroll (Larry W. Jones 07/05/2008) (song#5509)

I was dancing with a beauty
Beneath the old San Antone moon
The band played the San Antone Stroll
She was as pretty as I'd ever seen
I was happy as a cowboy who's king
Before she whispered, cowboy I must go

How can I ever forget the night when we met
I found her and my heart she stole
Forever, this cowboy will yearn
For that sweet day when she'll return
And we'll dance to the San Antone Stroll

- instrumental -

A Cowboy Night Herd Song (Larry W. Jones 07/05/2008) (song#5510)

What's the rush, little mav'ricks, the sun has gone down
The trail has been long and we've covered lots of ground
Feed along, little mav'ricks, graze on the grass slow
Sleep mav'ricks, for on the trail tomorrow we'll go

Quit bawling, little mav'ricks, whatever you do
I've ridden drag, in dust I've gagged, night-herded too
Tried to make you dogies slow down til I've turned blue
My pony is weary and I'm tired to the bone
But if you mav'ricks stampede, I know I'll be gone
Round up little mav'ricks, now round up to my song

Oh my, little mav'ricks, the moon is big and round
Now, come on, little mav'ricks, come and settle down
My eyes are quite heavy, my saddle seat is sore
So, lay down, little mav'ricks, the prairie's your floor
Round up little mav'ricks, don't range around no more

Well now, little mav'ricks, I see you've all laid down
The whole herd is sleeping, no coyotes around
Snore now, little mav'ricks, til tomorrow comes 'round
Then we'll all hit the trail with a wild longhorn sound
Sleep til dawn, little mav'ricks, sleep along
Lost Love And Misery (Larry W. Jones 07/05/2008) (song#5511)

Now, this is a song that just can't go wrong
A song about mis'ry, lost love and tears
On hillbilly stations you will soon hear
On the Top Forty, soon it will appear
Cause lost love and mis'ry are selling like hot cakes this year

It's gonna be a big thing and I'll be a star
You're gonna hear 'em play it way up on the charts
Nashville's gonna play it, in Austin they'll say it
Now, this is a song that just can't go wrong
Cause lost love and mis'ry are selling like hot cakes this year

I'll sing about how you walked out
You left me with tears in my beer
I didn't know you were leavin'
And you don't know how I'm grievin'
But lost love and mis'ry are selling like hot cakes this year

- instrumental -

I'll sing about how you walked out
You left me with tears in my beer
I didn't know you were leavin'
And you don't know how I'm grievin'
But lost love and mis'ry are selling like hot cakes this year

It's gonna be a big thing and I'll be a star
You're gonna hear 'em play it way up on the charts
Nashville's gonna play it, in Austin they'll say it
Now, this is a song that just can't go wrong
Cause lost love and mis'ry are selling like hot cakes this year
Yeah, lost love and mis'ry are selling like hot cakes this year
Falling Down The Steps (Larry W. Jones 07/05/2008) (song#5512)

I'm through with trying, I'm done with crying
Cause I'm just too blue and broke up inside
I'm falling down the steps of the stairway of love

I tried climbing up but I'm coming down
Love is too hard and too far from the ground
I'm falling down the steps of the stairway of love

Well, I used to worry about my tomorrows
Now I don't hurry, I'll just live with my sorrows
Yeah, I'm gonna quit while I'm still behind
Cut my losses before I lose my mind

The doctor told me I've a nervous disorder
I said doctor, send my bill south of the border
I'm falling down the steps of the stairway of love

- instrumental -

Well, I used to worry about my tomorrows
Now I don't hurry, I'll just live with my sorrows
Yeah, I'm gonna quit while I'm still behind
Cut my losses before I lose my mind

I tried climbing up but I'm coming down
Love is too hard and too far from the ground
I'm falling down the steps of the stairway of love
Rainbow Of Love (Larry W. Jones 07/05/2008) (song#5513)

There's a rainbow of love a-shinin' now that I've found you
And I'll do everything I can to persuade you to stay
When you said you'll love me too, my skies all turned blue
And there's a new rainbow of love a-shinin' today

Now, all of my friends say that you were meant for me
I tell my friends our love will last eternally
The forecast for love is as clear as it can be
And there's no cloudy skies as far as I can see

- instrumental -

Now, all of my friends say that you were meant for me
I tell my friends our love will last eternally

Love was in the wind when I found my destiny
A rainbow of love has replaced my misery
The face that I see is of a love that is true
There's a rainbow of love a-shinin' now that I've found you
There's a rainbow of love a-shinin' now that I've found you
Lady From Milwaukee (Larry W. Jones 07/05/2008) (song#5514)

She was a lady from Milwaukee and I wondered why
She never lived in a county if the county was dry
She was a lady from Milwaukee, didn't bat an eye
Never got tipsy on an empty case of Miller lite

Well, I courted that lady for almost an entire year
She spent all my money, made it entirely disappear
She was a waster, taster for Milwaukee Miller beer
Schlitz, Blatz, Pabst, Miller, any Milwaukee beer brought her cheer

She was a lady from Milwaukee, a taster for Miller beer

- instrumental -

She said she had to quit because they didn't like her there
Miller Brewing got to stewing when she got to tasting more
She had troubles with the bubbles that Miller brewed with care
She got addicted, afflicted and they kicked her out the door

She was a waster, taster for Milwaukee Miller beer
She was a lady from Milwaukee, didn't bat an eye
Schlitz, Blatz, Pabst, Miller, any Milwaukee beer brought her cheer
She was a lady from Milwaukee
A lady from Milwaukee
She was a lady from Milwaukee and now I know why
Land Of Enchantment Of New Mexico (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5515)

Now, I used to live in the Land of Enchantment
Way up high in the mountains of New Mexico
There I met a flower, a rose of the desert
In the Land of Enchantment I loved that girl so

There by a mountain stream they call the Red River
I took her hand in mine for true love to bestow
She said, mi Amigo, my heart is aquiver
Stay in the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico

Way up high in the mountains of New Mexico
In the Land of Enchantment I loved that girl so

- instrumental -

From Red River I wandered, for I had to go
I still fondly remember my sweet desert rose
She said, mi Amigo, I don't want you to go
From the Land of Enchantment of New Mexico

Way up high in the mountains of New Mexico
In the Land of Enchantment lives my desert rose
Let Me Die Down In Texas (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5516)

I'm all alone in this city, alone as I can be
It's a pity the open spaces are so far from me
It's been years since I saw prairies and west Texas moonlight
And the stars that shine afar up in the heavens so bright

This cowboy's old and weary, last roundup is nearly done
How I long for west Texas where the longhorn cattle run

Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee, Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee

Take me back to where cowboys around campfires sing their songs
Let me die down in Texas where this old cowboy belongs

Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee, Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee

This cowboy's old and weary, last roundup is nearly done
How I long for west Texas where the longhorn cattle run
Take me back to where cowboys around campfires sing their songs
Let me die down in Texas where this old cowboy belongs

Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee, Oh de lay ee ay di oh lay ee
Knee Deep In Love When We Fall (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5517)

Do you feel that thrill, makes the world stand still
It's like a fire drill that's really a fire
If your heart's all aglow, then you will know
You're on a tight wire with your heart's desire

Do you breath rapidly, laugh happily
The next kiss is something you wouldn't miss
And you would risk everything for love's call
Darling, that's the way we both feel today
This lovely chance we'll take on our romance
We'll both be knee deep in love when we fall

- instrumental -

God above sent down his love to partake
And he crowned you with stars from His blue sky
Dear, I cannot wait for this leap of faith
Wings of love were meant to make love fly

Do you breath rapidly, laugh happily
The next kiss is something you wouldn't miss
And you would risk everything for love's call
Darling, that's the way we both feel today
This lovely chance we'll take on our romance
We'll both be knee deep in love when we fall
We'll both be knee deep in love when we fall
Jimmie Rodgers Broke The First Country Heart (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5518)

It was the first country dance
Song of a country romance
A country boy loved a country girl
It was the first country song
About a love that went wrong
In the first honky tonk in the world

It was the first steel guitar
And the first crying fiddle
And city folks all called it plain dirt
It was the first country tune
Neath a country harvest moon
Before the first country hearts got hurt
Jimmie Rodgers broke the first country heart

- instrumental -

It was the first country song
About a love that went wrong
Played on the first country jukebox jive
It was the first country tear
Was shed for some country dear
First country love that didn't survive

We hear no more his guitar
He was the first country star
But his songs tear us apart
It was the first country song
About a love that went wrong
Jimmie Rodgers broke the first country heart
No Place Like Texas (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5519)

There's no place like Texas for cowboy ways
Makes no difference on what trail you may roam
When you long for the songs where longhorns graze
For cowboy ways, you can't beat San Antone

I met a cowboy in Nashville and he was saddled for
Texas and some sasparilla with armadillo pie
To Austin, Dalhart, El Paso, Gulf of Mexico's shore
All cowboys are returning to Texas before they die

There's no place like Texas for cowboy ways
Makes no difference on what trail you may roam
When you long for the songs where longhorns graze
For cowboy ways, you can't beat San Antone

- instrumental -

I met a cowboy in Nashville and he was saddled for

There's no place like Texas for cowboy ways
Plenty Of Space In My Heart For The Blues (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5520)

There's plenty of space in my heart for the blues
Some folks win at love and others lose
And ever since the day we parted
In every way I'm broken hearted
There's plenty of space in my heart for the blues

There's plenty of space in my mem'ry for tears
I think back to all those wasted years
And I still cannot forget
Our love ended with regret
There's plenty of space in my mem'ry for tears

- instrumental -

There's plenty of reasons in my life to cry
The worst one was when you said goodbye
And ever since our romance ended
Dear, I don't care to be befriended
There's plenty of reasons in my life to cry

There's plenty of space in my heart for the blues
Some folks win at love and others lose
And ever since the day we parted
In every way I'm broken hearted
There's plenty of space in my heart for the blues
No Trail Boss On The Trails Anymore (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5521)

The old cowboy dreams of his bygone days
When he was trail boss driving longhorn strays
Eyesight's grown dim, almost the end of him
The sun is setting on the last of cowboy ways

There's no trail boss on the trails anymore
They've paved the cattle trails from shore to shore
Along the super slabs the scenery is drab
There's no trail boss on the trails anymore

Bison no longer range, the west has lost its thrill
The silence is strange, no song of the whippoorwill
The old trail boss is at a loss, things now look grave
He wants to be buried on top of old Boot Hill

There's no trail boss on the trails anymore
They've paved the cattle trails from shore to shore
Along the super slabs the scenery is drab
There's no trail boss on the trails anymore

- instrumental -

He remembers his first ride 'cross the Great Divide
Now it hurts every time he tries to take a stride
He's feeling mighty frail, his bones are sore
There's no trail boss on the trails anymore

There's no trail boss on the trails anymore
They've paved the cattle trails from shore to shore
Along the super slabs the scenery is drab
There's no trail boss on the trails anymore
Beautiful Biscuit-Bakin' Rosie (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5522)

When the last longhorn is branded
And cattle loaded at the rail
A cowboy can feel so stranded
Riding alone back down the trail
But I just think of sweet Rosie
Heaven sent her from up above
She's the waitress with the posey
At the cafe named Turtle Dove

Beautiful biscuit-bakin' Rosie
She's got my heart lassoed and tied
All the cowboys sure get nosy
And try to take her from my side
Rosie's love is firm and stable
She don't put up with cowboy trash
And when Rosie waits my table
She serves up double cowboy hash

- instrumental -

Sometimes my brain gets all dozy
Instead of cows, I'm herdin' sheep
Cause my main thoughts are of Rosie
Whether I'm wranglin' or asleep
My Rosie came from El Paso
And my whole future she seduced
Cause when Rosie, my heart lassoed
She tied a knot that won't come loose

Beautiful biscuit-bakin' Rosie
She's got my heart lassoed and tied
All the cowboys sure get nosy
And try to take her from my side
Rosie's love is firm and stable
She don't put up with cowboy trash
And when Rosie waits my table
She serves up double cowboy hash
A Lock Of Golden Hair In a Worn Yellow Ribbon (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5523)

A lock of golden hair in a worn yellow ribbon
I see it lying there, reminding me of you
A lock of golden hair in a worn yellow ribbon
Is all that adorns a mem'ry of loving you
Is all that adorns a mem'ry of loving you

I never mistreated that girl in any way
But she found someone new and didn't want to stay
My dreams have retreated to yesterday
Of golden hair and yellow ribbons on display

Pay attention friends, if you have a darling wife
Even though you tell her you'll love her all your life
Keep a lock of hair in a new yellow ribbon
Hold it to your heart, then put it safely away
To remind you of her if she decides to stray

- instrumental -

I never mistreated that girl in any way
But she found someone new and didn't want to stay
My dreams have retreated to yesterday
Of golden hair and yellow ribbons on display

A lock of golden hair in a worn yellow ribbon
I see it lying there, reminding me of you
A lock of golden hair in a worn yellow ribbon
Is all that adorns a mem'ry of loving you
Is all that adorns a mem'ry of loving you
Lonesome And Blue (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5524)

The lonesome sound of an outward bound
Makes me cry with tears I cannot dry
It reminds me of a love that I once knew
A love that left me lonesome and blue

When I hear that freight train whistle blow
I remember one whom I loved so
Love's ember's still burning, if she only knew
But that girl left me lonesome and blue

When the night is still and moonlight's on the hill
I hear the lonesome song of a whippoorwill
And that's when I get the blues that I can't lose
Mem'ries that leave me lonesome and blue

- instrumental -

When I hear that freight train whistle blow
I remember one whom I loved so
Love's ember's still burning, if she only knew
But that girl left me lonesome and blue

The lonesome sound of an outward bound
Makes me cry with tears I cannot dry
It reminds me of a love that I once knew
A love that left me lonesome and blue
A love that left me lonesome and blue
Discernment Of My Heart (Larry W. Jones 07/06/2008) (song#5525)

The discernment of my heart, is you were meant for me
The only one whom my heart yearns to love eternally
No one else could steal my heart and open up its door
The discernment of my heart, is you it's burning for

One seldom knows the reasons why dreams come into sight
But it seems from the start, the season for love is right
The discernment of my heart, is my dreams will be bright
Darling, when you came my way, my heart knew you were right

- instrumental -

The discernment of my heart, is to live and learn
Oh, at times it has been wrong and my love was spurned
Now it knows the difference between what's right and wrong
Darling, you're the difference in my love song

One seldom knows the reasons why dreams come into sight
But it seems from the start, the season for love is right
The discernment of my heart, is my dreams will be bright
Darling, when you came my way, my heart knew you were right
It's Sad To Lose At Love Again (Larry W. Jones 07/07/2008) (song#5526)

It's sad to lose at love again, I've lost my smile
If I find love again, it's gonna take awhile
What happened to the sunshine, dark skies up above
It's sad to lose at love again, I've lost my love

Hello bitter teardrops, I've seen you fall before
Loneliness never stops, it's always at my door
I had a brand new sweetheart, now I've got the blues
It's sad to lose at love again, so sad to lose

It's sad to lose at love again, I've lost my smile
If I find love again, it's gonna take awhile
What happened to the sunshine, dark skies up above
It's sad to lose at love again, I've lost my love

- instrumental -

Goodbye to the sunshine, the moon now hides its face
It's like old times when love in June was out of place
I thought you were gonna stay, thought things were alright
I'm out of love again, my future isn't bright

It's sad to lose at love again, I've lost my smile
If I find love again, it's gonna take awhile
What happened to the sunshine, dark skies up above
It's sad to lose at love again, I've lost my love
Love Has Been Redefined (Larry W. Jones 07/07/2008) (song#5527)

I thought love was cold as ashes and the flame was gone
Love has been redefined now that you have come back home

Darling, you don't know of the awful shape that I was in
I emptied lots of bottles before the clock struck ten
I know it was wrong, but this was such an empty home
I thought love was cold as ashes and the flame was gone

Love has been redefined now that you have come back home

- instrumental -

I missed your lips so warm and your arms that held me tight
I missed sweet words of love that just makes a home feel right
This time our dreams will last, I'll remind you to hang on
Love has been redefined now that you have come back home

I thought love was cold as ashes and the flame was gone
Love has been redefined now that you have come back home
Nearly You Became My Love (Larry W. Jones 07/07/2008) (song#5528)

Nearly you became my love
Nearly my dream from up above
But love was just a game you were thinking of
Nearly some vows in June were made
But how soon they were betrayed
Now my hopes will fade of ever having love

Nearly all my dreams came true
Nearly I heard you say, I do
But you made me cry when someone new came by 
Clearly you were mine, nearly

- instrumental -

Nearly we heard a choir sing
Nearly caused wedding bells to ring
But there were flaws in big plans and little things
Nearly your heart beat with mine
Nearly they were sweetly entwined
Now I know that nearly doesn't mean a thing

Nearly you became my love
Nearly my dream from up above
But love was just a game you were thinking of
Nearly some vows in June were made
But how soon they were betrayed
Now my hopes will fade of ever having love
Nearly you became my love
I'd Love To Have You Round Me (Larry W. Jones 07/07/2008) (song#5529)

Dear, I'd love to have you 'round me
When the lonely nights surround me
How I'd love to see how your sweet love would be
Dear, I'd love to know the right hour
When love on you I could shower
Oh, how I'd love to find tonight, your heart's key

I'd love to be with you alone
To see if you would be my own
Dear, it brings me such joy to have you around
Won't you let this new beginning
Become a love without ending
I'd love to have you in this new love I've found

- instrumental -

Dear, I'd love to have you 'round me
When the lonely nights surround me
How I'd love to see how your sweet love would be
Dear, I'm not the kind for flirtin'
So, don't hide behind love's curtain
How I'd love to hear you say that you agree

I'd love to be with you alone
To see if you would be my own
Dear, it brings me such joy to have you around
Won't you let this new beginning
Become a love without ending
I'd love to have you in this new love I've found
I'm Still In Love With You (Larry W. Jones 07/07/2008) (song#5530)

Dear, I went out and found a love that's true
Then I found out I'm still in love with you
For heaven's sake, I can't just break away
Make no mistake, I'm still in love with you

Dear, I guess I just don't know what to do
I'm in a mess being in love with two
I regret to say that I can't forget
I tried and yet, I'm still in love with you

- instrumental -

Dear, when you left, I nearly lost my mind
New love I have but old love I still find
I regret to say that I can't forget
I tried and yet, you're not the losing kind

Dear, I guess I just don't know what to do
I'm in a mess being in love with two
I regret to say that I can't forget
I tried and yet, I'm still in love with you
I tried and yet, I'm still in love with you
Is She A Love That's New (Larry Jones 07/07/2008) (song#5531)

Her eyes are as bright as heavenly stars
That shine at night up by Venus and Mars
Her smile's as easy as a bluebird soars
I wonder if I'm seeing hers or yours
Yes, I have found a love that's really true
Is she a love that's new or is she really you

Well, I never thought I would see the day
When another like you would come my way
But she's here and I cannot let her go
She gives me all the love you used to give
She's now the reason why my dreams all live
Is it treason that I still think about you so

- instrumental -

She walks the way I remember your walk
She talks the way I remember your talk
She even whispers when she says my name
Wrapped up in my arms, she feels just like you
She even wears high heels just like you do
Am I a heel to even think she is the same

Her eyes are as bright as heavenly stars
That shine at night up by Venus and Mars
Her smile's as easy as a bluebird soars
I wonder if I'm seeing hers or yours
Yes, I have found a love that's really true
Is she a love that's new or is she really you
Is she a love that's new or is she really you
Broke And Busted Cowboy (Larry W. Jones 07/07/2008) (song#5532)

I'm just a broke and busted cowboy
Yeah, I'm a broke and busted cowboy
I'm a broke and busted cowboy too far from home

Well, I ain't got no Daddy
No, I ain't got no Daddy
I ain't got no Daddy to buy me boots

Now, I ain't got no Mama
No, I ain't got no Mama
I ain't got no Mama to mend my suits

I'm just a broke and busted cowboy
Yeah, I'm a broke and busted cowboy
I'm a broke and busted cowboy too far from home

Boy, I ain't got no little Sis
No, I ain't got no little Sis
I ain't got no little Sis for me to rattle

And I ain't got no pals
No, I ain't got no pals
I ain't got no saddle pals to herd the cattle

Darn, I ain't got no darlin'
No, I ain't got no darlin'
I ain't got no darlin' to call my own

I'm just a broke and busted cowboy
Yeah, I'm a broke and busted cowboy
I'm a broke and busted cowboy too far from home
My Blue Eyed Country Girl (Larry W. Jones 07/07/2008) (song#5533)

When I left her, I thought I saw a frown
But a country boy wants to see the world
Now I know, when these city lights shine down
Bright stars shine on my blue eyed country girl

Those stars above you know how I love you
They have more beauty than this city world
Tomorrow when I wake up I'll be gone
I'm going back to my blue eyed country girl

- instrumental -

Money doesn't mean that much to me now
I'd rather have someone with golden curls
I'm going to speak to her of my vow
I'll always love my blue eyed country girl

Those stars above you know how I love you
They have more beauty than this city world
Tomorrow when I wake up I'll be gone
I'm going back to my blue eyed country girl
I'm going back to my blue eyed country girl
This Must Be Love (Larry W. Jones 07/07/2008) (song#5534)

Darling, this must be love, because I feel so good
My tomorrows have no sorrows or sighs

Sweetheart, this must be love, and it feels like it should
My dreams now are all about paradise

My heart cannot stand still, does as it wills
This grand feeling must be love

This must be love, because I feel so good
I understood when I looked in your eyes

- instrumental -

Sweetheart, this must be love, and it feels like it should
My dreams now are all about paradise

My heart cannot stand still, does as it wills
This grand feeling must be love

Darling, this must be love, because I feel so good
I understood when I looked in your eyes
I understood when I looked in your eyes
My Melody Of Love To You (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5535)

How does my heart get to feel this light
How do the stars get to shine that bright
How does a rainbow glow red and blue
It's been said that it's because of you

Bluebonnet flowers are earth's delight
Summertime showers bring rainbows bright
The world looks as lovely as can be
Cause of a girl who's in love with me

And I know why the world looks lovely
Just as pretty as can be
Now, there's no need for some committee
To agree that she's for me

Oh, the world may say that love won't stay
But what do they know of love today
Dear, this is my melody
A chorus of harmony
This is my melody of love to you

- instrumental -

Dear, this is my melody
A chorus of harmony
How could anything go wrong
When my song of love is you

Oh, the world may say that love won't stay
But what do they know of love today
Dear, this is my melody
A chorus of harmony
This is my melody of love to you
Hobos Ditched On The Gila Monster Route (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5536)

The setting sun shone across the plain
Lit the rear door of an east bound train
And gleamed on a rusty track close by
Where hobos sat on a rotten tie

They were ditched by a shack in cruel fate
High-balled by the bull on their last freight
The freight hit the line on a sanded rail 
When they pulled on out behind the mail

Their train pulled away in the dark night
All they could see was the red tail light
The moon arose and the stars came out
Hobos ditched on the Gila Monster Route

Not a thing in sight but sand and space
No place for hobos to feed their face
No railyard shack for to rest their legs
No hen house where hobos steal their eggs

As they gazed out in the solitude
Both dropped their heads and began to brood
One spoke of the time he lost his mate
In a hobo jungle o're a dinner plate

They both looked around and at their feet
A salamander they speared to eat
Hobos deprived of their daily bread
Cleared their dry throats with some Dago Red

Their train pulled away in the dark night
All they could see was the red tail light
The moon arose and the stars came out
Hobos ditched on the Gila Monster Route
Before Your First Teardrop Fell (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5537)

He never brought you happiness
He never tried to do his best
And your happiness matters if love's to dwell
He even went and broke your heart
I knew that teardrops would soon start
And I was there before your first teardrop fell

You know it hurt to let you go
But dear, I had to let you know
That I would stand by you if he should rebel
And darling, I was always near
I was there to calm all your fears
And I was there before your first teardrop fell

I was there when you needed me by your side
To dry away any teardrop should you cry
When things were not going well
You remembered where love dwells
And I was there before your first teardrop fell

- instrumental -

You know it hurt to let you go
But dear, I had to let you know
That I would stand by you if he should rebel
And darling, I was always near
I was there to calm all your fears
And I was there before your first teardrop fell

I was there when you needed me by your side
To dry away any teardrop should you cry
When things were not going well
You remembered where love dwells
And I was there before your first teardrop fell
Yes, I was there before your first teardrop fell
This May Be The Time (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5537)

This may be the time
The day when you'll be mine
Who knows what this day holds
Or what the future has in store

This may be the time
The day when you'll be mine
I hope you're real, not fools gold
You're a dream I want to adore

See the stars tonight
They were meant to be shared
See the mellow moon's pale light
This fellow soon will say, I love you

Beautiful you, I hope you see things as I do
Maybe there will be rings to exchange
This may be the time
The day when you'll be mine

- instrumental -

See the stars tonight
They were meant to be shared
See the mellow moon's pale light
This fellow soon will say, I love you

Beautiful you, I hope you see things as I do
Maybe there will be rings to exchange
This may be the time
The day when you'll be mine
Cattle Man (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5538)

Well, I'm glad my life began as a cattle man
Not a lot of money but a lot of ranch land
Ain't no charmer, never would-a made a farmer
And I wouldn't trade this life of a cattle man

Well, my hands are kinda rough and my face is too
I'm thankful the Lord gave me a clear head instead
I'm the most fortunate cowboy you ever knew
And I'm glad I've got a ranch with a cattle spread

- instrumental -

Well, I'm up herdin' cattle in the early morn
The brandin's done in the day with the saddle hands
For this weathered cowboy life I know I was born
And I'm glad I live my life as a cattle man

I know I'm gettin' close to the end of the trail
The cattle spread on the prairie I fondly scan
Boys, just close up my coffin with some horseshoe nails
And I'll end this cowboy's life as a cattle man
Yeah, I'll end this cowboy's life as a cattle man
One Petal From A Rose (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5539)

I'm mailing you one petal from a rose, dear
To remind you of one lonely broken heart
And if you look closely at the petal, dear
The tear you will see is mine that you made start

I thought you would be true but now I know, dear
That you really didn't try to play your part
I'm mailing you one petal from a rose, dear
To remind you of one lonely broken heart

- instrumental -

The road to my happiness has now ended
Now I've got a load of loneliness to haul
Like one rose petal, my heart can't be mended
I'll mail another when it begins to fall

I know I should despise you for the way my heart is torn
But darling, I still prize you even though I am so forlorn
I'm mailing you one petal from a rose, dear
To remind you of one lonely broken heart 
Building Bridges (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5540)

Building bridges, darling I'm building bridges
I'm building bridges to get to you somehow

I found some letters that you once wrote me
When you moved far away to someplace new
I hope you're still single and will be free
To meet me on the bridge I've built to you

Building bridges, darling I'm building bridges
I'm building bridges to get to you somehow

- instrumental -

These bridges that I'm building are made with heartfelt love
They're strong but soft and yielding to one I'm dreaming of
Darling, if you'll let me, I'll show you the way
To cross this bridge of love and forever stay

Building bridges, darling I'm building bridges
I'm building bridges to get to you somehow
Cowboy Gathering (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5541)

Oh Molly, I'm excited about what I just saw
I was down the trail a ways, just this side of the draw
I rode as fast as I could and didn't miss a lick
Molly, I need to tell you about it mighty quick

We've got cowboys comin', Molly, there's cowboys comin'
We've got cowboys ridin' up the trail
They're down the trail a ways, raisin' dust in sundown haze
We've got cowboys ridin' up the trail

Tell Grandma, get her bonnet, put a hurry on it
Tell Grandpa to put on his new boots
Put out that welcome sign, cowboys will be here any time
Get those longhorn cows behind the chutes

We've got cowboys comin', Molly, there's cowboys comin'
We've got cowboys ridin' up the trail
They're down the trail a ways, raisin' dust in sundown haze
We've got cowboys ridin' up the trail

- instrumental -

I'll run and check the chicken nest, bring back eggs big and best
We'll spread a big cowboy table and pig out when it's blessed
Grandpa, get your fiddle down, play when cowboys gather 'round
It'll be a cowboy gathering forty miles from town

We've got cowboys comin', Molly, there's cowboys comin'
We've got cowboys ridin' up the trail
They're down the trail a ways, raisin' dust in sundown haze
We've got cowboys ridin' up the trail
Molly, we've got cowboys ridin' up the trail
Waltz Her My Way (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5542)

Please waltz her my way while the music plays
The girl in your arms is still my heart's craze
I'll try not to cry as you waltz her by
Although my heart may feel that it will die

Deep in her heart where you don't know
A memory started there so long ago
So, for a fool who still to this day pays
Please waltz her my way while the music plays

Until I was long gone, I never cried
Now I know it was wrong to leave her side
You're waltzing with the girl who once was mine
While the music plays, waltz her by me one more time

- instrumental -

 Until I was long gone, I never cried
Now I know it was wrong to leave her side
You're waltzing with the girl who once was mine
While the music plays, waltz her by me one more time

Deep in her heart where you don't know
A memory started there so long ago
So, for a fool who still to this day pays
Please waltz her my way while the music plays
Waltz her my way while the music plays
Don't Remove Your Love From Me (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5543)

Remove the moon from the heavens
And the heavens would soon turn blue
Remove a new leaf from a live oak tree
A weeping willow it would turn into

Remove the strings that bind your heart to mine
And dear, this poor heart of mine will surely break
Your dreams and mine were vowed for all of time
Please don't remove your love for all times sake

Remove the wings from a bluebird
And that bluebird would never sing or fly
Remove water from waterfalls
And their loud roar would turn into a sigh

Don't let your heart do this to me
Darling, please don't remove your love from me

- instrumental -

Remove the strings that bind your heart to mine
And dear, this poor heart of mine will surely break
Your dreams and mine were vowed for all of time
Please don't remove your love for all times sake

Remove the wings from a bluebird
And that bluebird would never sing or fly
Remove water from waterfalls
And their loud roar would turn into a sigh

Don't let your heart do this to me
Darling, please don't remove your love from me
Please don't remove your love from me
Don't remove your love from me
Down Along The Stream (Larry W. Jones 07/08/2008) (song#5543)

Down along the stream there's a tree
Under its limbs you vowed to me
That you would be my very own
But darling, now that you have gone
When I go down along the stream
My dreams and I are all alone

Do you recall that willow tree
It was special for you and me
Dear, when you left, you left behind
A heart carved with your name and mine

Down along the stream there's a tree
Under its limbs you vowed to me
That you would be my very own
But darling, now that you have gone
When I go down along the stream
My dreams and I are all alone

- instrumental -

Darling, when autumn comes around
Leaves on our willow tree turn brown
And when they fall, my heart falls too
Down along the stream I miss you

Down along the stream there's a tree
Under its limbs you vowed to me
That you would be my very own
But darling, now that you have gone
When I go down along the stream
My dreams and I are all alone

Down along the stream
My dreams and I are all alone
Down A Lonely Lover's Lane (Larry W. Jones 07/09/2008) (song#5544)

I hear the lonely sounds of heartbreak and despair
And I hear footsteps around that aren't really there
It all seems so very strange now that you are gone
As I stroll down a lonely lover's lane alone

I hear voices laughing and sometimes voices cry
And without you near, I feel teardrops from my eyes
This nice place was paradise before you were gone
Now I stroll down a lonely lover's lane alone
 
- instrumental -

I pray that I, as time goes by, can love again, and yet
Some things take time, a hill to climb, darling I can't forget
How we laughed and loved, with moon above, things that now are gone
As I stroll down a lonely lover's lane alone

I hear voices laughing and sometimes voices cry
And without you near, I feel teardrops from my eyes
This nice place was paradise before you were gone
Now I stroll down a lonely lover's lane alone
Eleven Roses And An Orchid (Larry W. Jones 07/09/2008) (song#5545)

Dear, I ordered for you today, eleven roses
They will come in a lovely box with ribbons from me
And sweetheart, don't be shocked when your mirror discloses
Eleven roses and an orchid's what you will see

Pretty roses are nice to send for all occasions
But orchids are prettier than roses on display
So, look at these eleven roses in your mirror
Eleven roses and an orchid will look your way

- instrumental -

There's something special about a big box of roses
Even if one of the roses happens to be gone
Darling, what will make up the difference, I suppose is
One beautiful orchid that I'll always call my own

Pretty roses are nice to send for all occasions
But orchids are prettier than roses on display
So, look at these eleven roses in your mirror
Eleven roses and an orchid will look your way
Forever Was Our Song Of Love (Larry W. Jones 07/09/2008) (song#5546)

Eternal was the feeling when you and I first met
Caring was the touch that I fondly remember yet
Appealing was the soft hand that I felt placed in mine
And forever was our song of love as sweet as wine

Shattered was the sound of all the love within my heart
Tattered were my dreams when you decided to depart
Mis'ry came on a cold wind when I thought things were fine
When forever was our song of love as sweet as wine

- instrumental -

Tolerance was the load that I carried deep inside
Gladness was down the road on a never ending drive
Sadness was then bestowed that became the cruelest kind
When forever was our song of love as sweet as wine

Shattered was the sound of all the love within my heart
Tattered were my dreams when you decided to depart
Mis'ry came on a cold wind when I thought things were fine
When forever was our song of love as sweet as wine
Forever was our song of love as sweet as wine
Empty Rooms (Larry W. Jones 07/09/2008) (song#5547)

Dear, you don't know what I'm undergoing
And I know you don't feel that you're to blame
But this emptiness I feel is growing
Knowing that I have lost you in love's game
Empty rooms surround me, empty rooms I see
These empty rooms have now bound me
To the gloom of an empty dream

Dear, I thought our love would bloom forever
Now emptiness consumes me every day
For the ties that bound us both together
Have broken on the loom and swept away
Empty rooms surround me, empty rooms I see
These empty rooms have now bound me
To the gloom of an empty dream

- instrumental -

Dear, I thought our love would bloom forever
Now emptiness consumes me every day
For the ties that bound us both together
Have broken on the loom and swept away

The sweet love we once had was so warm, dear
As somebody else now knows, I presume
Darling, how I wish I still had you near
To warm, once again, these cold empty rooms
Empty rooms surround me, empty rooms I see
These empty rooms have now bound me
To the gloom of an empty dream
Abilene My Abilene (Larry W. Jones 07/09/2008) (song#5548)

Abilene, my Abilene
Where longhorn cattle are lowing
Where the Cedar Creek is flowing
I was a lad of seventeen when I left Abilene

Abilene, my Abilene
Oh, how I miss your grassy plain
When sun shines through the summer rain
Only memories remain as I dream of Abilene

I remember waiting by the depot
For the train that would carry me from home
I wonder if that girl I used to know
Ever thinks about me and where I've roamed
Since I left Abilene

- instrumental -

Abilene, my Abilene
Oh, I must return before my dying
For old Abilene my heart is sighing
I have yearned to return since seventeen
To Abilene, my Abilene

I remember waiting by the depot
For the train that would carry me from home
I wonder if that girl I used to know
Ever thinks about me and where I've roamed
Since I left Abilene, my Abilene
Have I Traveled Too Far (Larry W. Jones 07/09/2008) (song#5549)

Have I traveled too far to find your love, dear
Have I traveled too far to see dreams come true
Could I find you if I returned where you are
Or have I traveled too far

I knew I should have stayed the day we parted
For my sad heart has paid as never before
If I return, could time erase every scar
Or have I traveled too far

- instrumental -

Have I traveled too far to be forgiven
Have I traveled too far away from you
Darling, all my dreams of you are still living
I hope I'm not too far to return to you

I knew I should have stayed the day we parted
For my sad heart has paid as never before
If I return, could time erase every scar
Or have I traveled too far
Lost Love Songs All Night Long (Larry W. Jones 07/10/2008) (song#5550)

Well, I made a reservation at a cheap hotel
But then I had some reservations 'bout sleepin' well
I tried to go to sleep but I could hear noisy chairs
My hotel room was above a honky tonk downstairs
I covered up my head with a pillow in the gloom
When the band started playin' and a-shakin' the room

Lost love songs all night long
They started sounding like the same old song
The walls resounded 'bout a love gone wrong
Lost love songs all night long
I tossed and I turned until three or four
But the honky tonk band just played some more

- instrumental -

The reason I'm here is that my darlin's gone
She spent all my money, claimed I done her wrong
Now, what's a  fella like me supposed to do
With honky tonk lost love songs comin' right on through

Lost love songs all night long
They started sounding like the same old song
The walls resounded 'bout a love gone wrong
Lost love songs all night long
Lost love songs all night long
Lost love songs all night long
Fifty Love Songs (Larry W. Jones 07/11/2008) (song#5551)

Now darlin', our love boat is near the rocks
It's clear I've forgotten some of our vows
And although it's past time to start the clock
I'm gonna make it up to you somehow

Gonna write fifty love songs just for you
Fifty ways to say that we'll make it through
Dear, I've gotta fight for a love that's true
I'm gonna write fifty songs of love just for you

Fifty-fifty was the deal
I know you've given your hundred percent
Darlin', your sweet love is real
But right now, I know mine ain't worth a cent

Now, It might take a month or ninety days
To write just how I'm gonna change my ways
It's gonna be a challenge, that I know
For me to write how much I love you so

- instrumental -

I haven't been untrue, just let things slide
Gonna make it up to you if I can
I realize I need you by my side
Just read the lines of a regretful man

Now, It might take a month or ninety days
To write just how I'm gonna change my ways
It's gonna be a challenge, that I know
For me to write how much I love you so

Gonna write fifty love songs just for you
Fifty ways to say that we'll make it through
Dear, I've gotta fight for a love that's true
I'm gonna write fifty songs of love just for you
I Could Tell My Heart (Larry W. Jones 07/11/2008) (song#5552)

Dear, you say that you've found someone new
What could I do to get over you

I could tell my heart to forget you
But I'll never know just how
For it would seem too much like a crime
And other things I would regret too
If I could forget you now
Are lies told this trusting heart of mine

I could tell my heart there'd come a time
When I would find love anew
And it could beat inside a new man
Oh, but I well know this heart of mine
And I know what it would do
Loving you is all it understands

- instrumental -

I could tell my heart there'd come a time
When I would find love anew
And it could beat inside a new man
Oh, but I well know this heart of mine
And I know what it would do
Loving you is all it understands

So darling, I cannot tell my heart
For I don't know where I'd start
It's been in love with you from the day
When you drove grey skies away

I could tell my heart to forget you
But I'll never know just how
Darling, I can never forget you now
Texas Is My State (Larry W. Jones 07/12/2008) (song#5553)

Texas is my state, where real cowboys ride today
Texas is my state, where longhorn cattle still stray
Pardner, I once saw ol' Paris
When I sailed out across the foam
But one ol' place better, there is
The only one that I call home
Cause Texas is my state, that ol' lone star is great
This cowboy's home is San Antone

When I'm away from Texas, in lands where I've been
I listen to folks talk, while holding back a grin
Cause I know they have never seen
Amarillo or Abilene
Or heard the music from Austin
Or reined a wild mustang hoss in
Pard, Texas is my state, that ol' lone star is great
This cowboy's home is San Antone

- instrumental -

Pardner, I once saw ol' Paris

Cause I know they have never seen

Clinch Mountain Banjo Rag (Larry W. Jones 07/13/2008) (song#5554)

If you wanna get down on a bluegrass sound
It's a cinch when you've got that old mountain tag
Folks all stay around to hear 'em play that sound
They call that good old Clinch Mountain Banjo Rag

In Tennessee, Appalachian is the name
Don't forget about that old Virginia flag
Them old mountain boys play in the Hall of Fame
With that old tune named Clinch Mountain Banjo Rag

When those banjos ring, Clinch River Valleys peal
And those mountain cloggers don't let their feet drag
The music has that Appalachian appeal
They call that good old Clinch Mountain Banjo Rag

- instrumental -

So, if you happen to be in Tennessee
You'll hear good mountain music of which they brag
Come along to the mountains and play with me
And hear that good old Clinch Mountain Banjo Rag

In Tennessee, Appalachian is the name
Don't forget about that old Virginia flag
Them old mountain boys play in the Hall of Fame
With that old tune named Clinch Mountain Banjo Rag
I Had Too Much To Think Last Night (Larry W. Jones 07/13/2008) (song#5555)

I know I had too much to think last night

This morning I don't see too well, stumbling
My brain doesn't work so well in this light
In pain I make morning coffee, fumbling
I know I had too much to think last night

I thought I saw you at the breakfast table
Sitting there, you were such a welcome sight
I thought I kissed your lips, but wasn't able
I know I had too much to think last night

When you departed, my ending started
Now I think there's no end to blues in sight
I tried to go to sleep but counted sheep
I know I had too much to think last night

- instrumental -

I tried to go to sleep but counted sheep
I know I had too much to think last night
I know I had too much to think last night
Crazy In Love With You (Larry W. Jones 07/13/2008) (song#5556)

Dear, I'm going crazy loving you
But I feel the way that I want to
I guess you'd say I'm a loving fool
Darling, I'm crazy in love with you

I'd be in despair to see you go
That would be so unfair, don't you know
I guess you'd say I'm a loving fool
Darling, I'm crazy in love with you

My heart's been roped with a daisy chain
May be crazy but I'm not in pain
I'm crazy in love with you, it's plain
Darling, I'm crazy in love with you

- instrumental -

I'd be in despair to see you go
That would be so unfair, don't you know

May be crazy but I'm not in pain
I'm crazy in love with you, it's plain
Darling, I'm crazy in love with you
I'm crazy in love with you
If You Hear Me Talkin' (Larry W. Jones 07/13/2008) (song#5557)

I hear you talkin', you want me around again
But I'm not done walkin' along this railroad track
Headin' outbound and I'm not comin' back again
If you hear me talkin', then you know I ain't comin' back

I hope you've learned your lesson, cause I ain't no fool
Don't bother beggin', I ain't cuttin' you no slack
Dear, I hear you talkin', you think lyin' is cool
If you hear me talkin', then you know I ain't comin' back

Now darlin', I loved you, but I found out at last
That it was past time for this outbound railroad track
Cause you love another and now the die is cast
I'm gonna keep on goin' and I'm never comin' back

I Guess You Don't Know How To Say Yes (Larry W. Jones 07/13/2008) (song#5558)

Don't accuse me of doin' nothin' wrong
I've got somethin' I need you to assess
If you will say, I do, I'll take you home
But I guess you don't know how to say yes

I asked you once but you showed me the door
I may lose at love again, I'll confess
I hope you don't mind if I ask once more
But I guess you don't know how to say yes

I tried to persuade you for quite a while
Even looked for a ring and wedding dress
Now darlin', you're makin' my mind run wild
But I guess you don't know how to say yes

- instrumental -

I love you more than all the rest
No one's above you, I confess
Baby, I wish you wouldn't say maybe
Cause I want you to say Yes, Yes

I tried to persuade you for quite a while
Even looked for a ring and wedding dress
Now darlin', you're makin' my mind run wild
But I guess you don't know how to say yes
I wish I could teach you how to say Yes
Gene Autry's Back In The Saddle Again (Larry W. Jones 07/14/2008) (song#5559)

He's back in the saddle again
Riding across the silver screen
I used to watch him back at home
On TV where the longhorns roamed
Oh, now-a-days he's seldom seen
But Gene Autry's back in the saddle again

Whoopi ti yi yo, rockin' to and fro
Gene Autry's on the Friday picture show

I watch him every Friday night
In classic movies, black and white
He's back in the saddle again
He's out ridin' the range once more
Still totin' his old forty-four
He's a cowboy who does things right
He sleeps under the stars at night
Old Gene Autry's back in the saddle again

- instrumental -

He's back in the saddle again
Riding across the silver screen
I used to watch him back at home
On TV where the longhorns roamed
Oh, now-a-days he's seldom seen
But Gene Autry's back in the saddle again

Whoopi ti yi yo, rockin' to and fro
Gene Autry's on the Friday picture show
Whoopi ti yi yea, gonna watch him again today
Old Gene Autry's back in the saddle again
Gene Autry's back in the saddle again
Down Along The Brazos (Larry W. Jones 07/14/2008) (song#5560)

I have crossed the narrow Pecos
Seen moss along the Nueces
My paint swam the Guadalupe
Rode along the winding Brazos
Now, the old Red River runs bold
While the old Frio runs so cold
It was down along the Brazos
Where I courted a girl with hair of gold

The Angelina flows smoothly
The Colorado will soothe thee
The San Antonio runs plain
But I'll ride down along the Brazos again

Ye-odl-lay-ee-dee, she gave me her hand
Ye-odl-lay-ee-dee, I'm a happy cowhand
Ye-odl-lay-ee-dee, gonna see her there when
When I ride down along the Brazos again

- instrumental -

I hugged her and then I kissed her
She called me her cowboy dandy
The Trinity is long and wide
While the old Brazos is sandy
And I'm gonna make her my bride
Down along the Brazos, I ride
Yep, I'm gonna make her my bride
Down along the Brazos, I ride

The cowgirls of Little River
Are pretty as cowgirls ever
The old Sabine and the Sober
Makes a cowboy look 'em over
The Nagadoches grassy banks
Will make every cowboy give thanks
But I'll ride down along the Brazos
Down along the Brazos again

Ye-odl-lay-ee-dee, she gave me her hand
Ye-odl-lay-ee-dee, I'm a happy cowhand
Ye-odl-lay-ee-dee, gonna see her there when
When I ride down along the Brazos again
Down along the Brazos again
Three Special Stars (Larry W. Jones 07/14/2008) (song#5561)

There are three special stars in the heavens
And two of them are for lovers only
But the one special star in the heavens
Shines just for the one and lonely

There are three stars for young lovers
Which young lovers look up and see
Oh, but up there shines one other
One lonely star shines just for me

I've never heard of a third wheel
On a bicycle built for two
And two loves don't know how it feels
When a third heart needs true love too

I look to the heavens above
Where three stars are shining anew
Two of them are for special love
And one shines for someone who's blue

- instrumental -

There are three special stars in the heavens
And two of them are for lovers only
But the one special star in the heavens
Shines just for the one and lonely

I look to the heavens above
Where three stars are shining anew
Two of them are for special love
And one shines for someone who's blue

There are three special stars in the heavens
And one shines for someone who's blue
I Just Stopped Loving You (Larry W. Jones 07/14/2008) (song#5562)

I just stopped loving you
Though it may seem unkind
I still have memories
Of times when you were mine

Though I'm still needing you
As much as yesterday
My dreams of you are through
My love has stopped today

Oh, there were happy hours
We both know that is true
How does a bed of flowers
Have only weeds that grew

I just stopped loving you
Though it may seem unkind
I still have memories
Of times when you were mine

- instrumental -

Dear, I don't know if time
Will see us still apart
But for now, I must find
A way to heal my heart

I just stopped loving you
Though it may seem unkind
I still have memories
Of times when you were mine

Though I'm still needing you
As much as yesterday
My dreams of you are through
My love has stopped today
My Heart Hurts As Never Before (Larry W. Jones 07/14/2008) (song#5563)

My heart is hurting some more
Seems my eyes will never dry
I'm ever walking the floor
With old love burning inside

I never thought love could be
A storm with rain that would pour
I know I'll never be free
My heart hurts as never before

I always tried to deny
That your love for me would die
Until you said we were through
Now I know you are the kind
Who would leave true love behind
Though you knew that I'd be blue

I know I'll never forget
That you cared for me before
And so I say with regret
My heart hurts as never before

- instrumental -

I always tried to deny

Until you said we were through
Now I know you are the kind
Who would leave true love behind
Though you knew that I'd be blue

That you cared for me before
And so I say with regret
My heart hurts as never before
Our Love Has Fallen To Pieces (Larry W. Jones 07/14/2008) (song#5564)

Our love has fallen to pieces
And soon I won't see you again
My darling, when our love ceases
Let's just say goodbye as old friends

Dear, when we part, I'll try to act
As though you and I never met
Try not to cry when you walk by
But my heart will die with regret
Our love has fallen to pieces

- instrumental -

Our love has fallen to pieces
How I wish things could be the same
Our love has fallen to pieces
With someone else you'll share your name

I don't know if I'll ever find
Another like you I can love
So, I'll just go on loving you
My darling, what else can I do

I'll try not to cry when you walk by
Our love has fallen to pieces
Our love has fallen to pieces
I Love To Live For Loving You (Larry W. Jones 07/14/2008) (song#5565)

Darling, look into these eyes of mine
The love you will see is just as warm
As the warmth in your hand that I find
And dear, when you kiss my waiting lips
You will find true love waiting there too
The love you give is dear, far or near
And I love to live for loving you

Darling, when you are close beside me
I love to abide with such a treat
For there is so much love inside me
When you make all my dreams so complete

Dear, you are the reason why grey skies
Have faded away to skies of blue
Your sweet love I will forever prize
Cause I love to live for loving you

- instrumental -

Dear, you are the reason why grey skies
Have faded away to skies of blue
Your sweet love I will forever prize
Cause I love to live for loving you

Yes, I love to live for loving you
For nobody else would ever do
And dear, I know that you love me too
How I love to live for loving you
I love to live for loving you
Next Spring Roundup (Larry W. Jones 07/14/2008) (song#5566)

When I think of the next Spring roundup
And the cool of the prairie Spring dawn
I think again of all those cowboys
That I have known but now moved along

Move along, move along, little dogies move along
Move along, move along, dogies listen to my song

I recall some good-hearted fellows
Who'd provide you with a blanket lent
With a tin of coffee and vittles
But then charge for it never a cent

Move along, move along, little dogies move along
Move along, move along, dogies listen to my song

- instrumental -

I wonder who at the old corral
Will greet me with a grin and implore
How ya doin', my old saddle pal
Good to see you, as in years before

When I think of the next Spring roundup
On the prairie with skies blue and fair
I hope that no wrong trails were taken
And all my saddle pals will be there

Move along, move along, little dogies move along
Move along, move along, dogies listen to my song
Dark Haired Senorita (Larry W. Jones 07/15/2008) (song#5568)

Oh, I so love a girl in Mexico
A dark haired senorita, kind and sweet
And though it was I knew her long ago
My lonely heart still lays there at her feet

Neath latticed balcony I lingered long
She watched me as I strummed my old guitar
Listened as I sang my bolero song
Neath the Mexican moon and silver starts

She's still my love, my life, my border girl
She will be my wife in her border world
I still hear her whispered voice, soft and low
When in dreams I go to old Mexico

- instrumental -

I know she's still waiting in Mexico
My dark-eyed maid, my darling with love true
Time is not abating, where 'er I go
My love for her that's still as fresh as dew

Bejeweled black eyes that show her love so deep
Still watch for me and will beam at my name
My vows I'll keep for her, my angel dream
My Mexican senorita, my flame

Oh come, please come, good fortune, unto me
Oh how I long to go, once more to go
Across the border to her land and see
My senorita dear in Mexico
My dark haired senorita in Mexico
Sweetheart Bonnie (Larry W. Jones 07/15/2008) (song#5569)

Come and whisper sweetheart Bonnie
That your own love is just for me
For I've loved you sweetheart Bonnie
Since I have known you were for me

Bonnie darling say you love me
Say that you will be only mine
God's work of art sweetheart Bonnie
Please say loving words sweet and kind

Moon is shining sweetheart Bonnie
Up in the velvet tranquil night
Stars are twinkling sweetheart Bonnie
And just for you they shine their light

- instrumental -

Lovely flowers hear me whisper
And as their petals bend in shame
They all know that sweetheart Bonnie
Real beauty comes with your sweet name

Sweet Bonnie warm as morning sunshine
Please tell me all you're thinking of
If you love me sweetheart Bonnie
Then tell me with a kiss of love
I'm Already Gone (Larry W. Jones 07/15/2008) (song#5570)

Though you may not be ready, I'm already gone

The time has past, my dear, for us to say goodbye
Please don't try to stop me, cause there's no use to try
Our romance has no chance, it's now time to be free
Love before cannot be, means nothing more to me

Time always moves along, it's too late now, our song
Though you may not be ready, I'm already gone

I won't kiss you once again, though you tear and cry
I won't hear you once again, all your alibis
I'll go on by myself, we'll face our loneliness
Love before cannot be, we've both lost happiness

- instrumental -

The time has past, my dear, for us to say goodbye
Please don't try to stop me, cause there's no use to try
Our romance has no chance, it's now time to be free

Though you may not be ready, I'm already gone
You'll Be Mine (Larry W. Jones 07/15/2008) (song#5571)

Well, now that he sends you no more roses
And certainly has turned to supposes
I'll take a shot and what I propose is
As your door to his romance closes, you'll be mine

His make believe words have lost their ringing
But now more bluebirds have started singing
Darling, one true thing that I'll be bringing
A vine of love clinging sweet as wine, you'll be mine

You'll be mine even though your love is second hand
You'll be mine and our love will grow just as I've planned
I'll hold you in my heart and in my arms sincere
Darling, you'll be mine and I'll always want you near

- instrumental -

Don't be tearful that a foolish heart resists you
Don't be fearful of another love who'll kiss you
You don't know how many days and nights I've missed you
As the days of his romance abysses, you'll be mine

You'll be mine even though your love is second hand
You'll be mine and our love will grow just as I've planned
I'll hold you in my heart and in my arms sincere
Darling, you'll be mine and I'll always want you near
You'll be mine and I'll always want you near
Down Love's Trail Alone (Larry W. Jones 07/15/2008) (song#5572)

We're riding down two different trails to destinations far apart
Dear, you want me around but someone before me is in your heart
You ask if I can make a change but I can't rearrange our vows
You're the one who's acting strange and I see that far away look now

It seems like nothing that I do can help us get along
There must be something you believe that I am doing wrong
When we first started dear, our trail of love was new and strong
But now we ride different trails on which neither one belong

- instrumental -

It seems like nothing that I do can help us get along
There must be something you believe that I am doing wrong
When we first started dear, our trail of love was new and strong
But now we ride different trails on which neither one belong

Darling, if you still want me then please take the love I give
I don't want this love to haunt me as long as I shall live
But if you want to be free, then my darling, let it be
I'll just ride down love's trail alone without your company
My Everything Is You (Larry W. Jones 07/15/2008) (song#5573)

Every time there came a new day
Every time it was a blue day
But then one day I heard you say
That every day was blue for you
Now dear, I will ever change it
Ever try to rearrange it
And never would I exchange it
Because my everything is you

Dear, if you could read my mind
You would read that everything is fine
If you could read between the lines
You'd read that you're divine, it's true
And I can't help but to say it
That for real love, you display it
I'm in love with everything about you
My everything is you

- instrumental -

Dear, if you could read my mind
You would see that everything is fine
If you could read between the lines
You'd read that you're divine, it's true

Also my heart that's new sings
I'm in love with everything about you
My everything is you

Yes, I'm in love with everything
Everything about you
Darling, my everything is you

With my kisses, I'll never be late

I will love you always
There's nothing I would not do
To prove my love is true

Love for eternity

Rolling Stone (Larry W. Jones 07/15/2008) (song#5576)

Well, I told that woman if she ever
Deceived me, that she wouldn't win
But that woman, well, I guess she never
Thought of the trouble she'd be in

And now I'm gone, gone, gone, a rolling stone
Now, she may cry to get me back
But the more she tries, this train roars and flies
I'm rolling farther down the track

That woman lost her right to be happy
And now I'm on the outward bound
Woman, don't you come a-lookin' for me
I'm gone, gone, gone, not to be found

And now I'm gone, gone, gone, a rolling stone
Now, she may cry to get me back
But the more she tries, this train roars and flies
I'm rolling farther down the track

- instrumental -

Now, that woman won't know where to find me
If she searced the cold Arctic zone
At night when that old clock is striking three
I'll still be just a rolling stone

And now I'm gone, gone, gone, a rolling stone
Now, she may cry to get me back
But the more she tries, this train roars and flies
I'm rolling farther down the track
I'm gone, gone, gone, a rolling stone
Song For Mother And Father (Larry W. Jones 07/15/2008) (song#5577)

I'd work for free, just to see
My Mother and Father
They gave me life, through toil and strife
And I am so thankful
They raised me right, I've seen the light
Dear Mother and Father, I love you so

Here in my mind, joy I find
For Mother and Father
And every day, in every way
There's nothing I'd rather
See more, than the love they both show
Dear Mother and Father, I love you so

- instrumental -

Here in my mind, joy I find
For Mother and Father
And every day, in every way
There's nothing I'd rather
See more, than the love that they show
Dear Mother and Father, I love you so

I love you so
Dance Of The Angels (Larry W. Jones 07/15/2008) (song#5578)

The dance of the angels I'm dancing tonight
This romance is so new and it seems so right
This dance was made in heaven, that is so clear
And as I hold you tight, you're such a delight
You're my partner in this dance
Dance of the angels, my dear
Dance of the angels, my dear

I know there's a higher force
A heavenly choir, of course, that sings our song
And the words were written by
Someone far up in the sky
The same one who can make all our dreams come true
The dance of the angels was written
Just for me and you

- instrumental -

I know there's a higher force
A heavenly choir, of course, that sings our song
And the words were written by
Someone far up in the sky
The same one who can make all our dreams come true
The dance of the angels was written
Just for me and you

The dance of the angels was written
Just for me and you
Texas Cowboy (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5579)

Now, I am a Texas cowboy, I ride the Texas trails
I cinch my saddle, pinch my bridle, come rain, shine or hail
My lasso flies with greatest ease, for cattle horns to tease
I break broncos on the Concho and have 'em on their knees

I carry a six gun and knife, but rarely I see strife
Just begun to fix my dreams on this Texas cowboy life
But if I owned a ranch, boys, hitched up for good I would be
To sweet Molly, cause by golly, she's so in love with me

Now, at the end of this trail, boys, this dusty old trail ride
I'm gonna find cool water and green grass that ain't so dry
Trail boss is mad and dingy, as you cowboys clearly see
Round up them longhorns, singin', for cowboys we'll always be

Now, if it ever rains, boys, I sure hope it's soft and fine
The reservoir's near empty, only good enough for swine
Trail boss will stop his frownin' if some rain clouds he might see
Now it's the time for brandin', for cowboys we'll always be

Now, when we get them dogies bedded, corraled for the night
Don't you boys rattle a saddle, don't give that herd no fright
They'll stampede, like on loco weed, and run so far away
That you'll need a steed that's built for speed, boys, hear what I say

Now, tomorrow will be another grind, if you don't mind
I'll ride the point, two on flank, the greenhorn rides drag behind
Trail boss will git them longhorns sold, and we'll be paid in gold
Now, I am a Texas cowboy, ride trails til I'm too old
This One And The Same Heart (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5580)

This one and the same heart
Used to laugh at the concept of love
This one and the same heart
Winked on behalf of the stars above
But then this one and the same old heart
Started beating for something so new
Started eating all the words it knew
This one and the same heart
Now beats for only you

This one and the same heart
Used to sing any song that came along
This one and the same heart
Never knew what was right from the wrong
But then this one and the same old heart
Started singing a brand new love tune
Started winging its way to the moon
This one and the same heart
Now beats for only you

- instrumental -

This one and the same heart
Used to sing any song that came along

But then this one and the same old heart
Started singing a brand new love tune
Started winging its way to the moon
This one and the same heart
Now beats for only you

But then this one and the same old heart
Started singing a brand new love tune
Started winging its way to the moon
This one and the same heart
Now beats for only you
Wrong Side Of The Track (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5581)

I rolled out on the wrong side of the track

Last night in my bed I was dreaming fine
For in my head I dreamed you still were mine
Just before the dawn, everything went black
I rolled out on the wrong side of the track

No morning sunlight came through the window
My dream might as well have been in limbo
An old bell then tolled and the lightning cracked
I rolled out on the wrong side of the track

Feels like I've been run down by an old train
You're nowhere around in this cold, cold rain
I'm on a freight train that ain't coming back
I rolled out on the wrong side of the track

- instrumental -

Now, ever since you left, I've been aware
There's been a theft of dreams and loving care
The track I'm on ain't going nowhere good
I'd be rolling back to you, if I could

Feels like I've been run down by an old train
You're nowhere around in this cold, cold rain
I'm on a freight train that ain't coming back
I rolled out on the wrong side of the track

Wrong side of the track
Wrong side of the track
Wrong side of the track
Time Is Not On My Side (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5582)

I have counted the seconds through these lonely hours
Trying to find where your memory hides
Oh, they try to tell me that from rain come the flowers
But it's plain that time is not on my side

Friends try to tell me that I'll find someone to love
Somebody new with true love to provide
Oh, they even tell me of nice girls to think of
But the price is, time is not on my side

I've counted the seconds that remind me of you
And I reckon that for hours I have cried
I tried to find you but I'm too far behind you
And the grind is, time is not on my side

- instrumental -

Friends try to tell me that I'll find someone to love
Somebody new with true love to provide
Oh, they even tell me of nice girls to think of
But the price is, time is not on my side

I've counted the seconds that remind me of you
And I reckon that for hours I have cried
I tried to find you but I'm too far behind you
And the grind is, time is not on my side

So, never mind, time is not on my side
Time is not on my side
I Can't Help You (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5583)

Today you called me on the phone
And you said you were all alone
But I can't help you if you're still in love with him
The day you left, you know I cried
Now you've got something more to hide
And I can't help you if you're still in love with him

An old mem'ry of our past is why you're calling
And your future now is looking so sad and grim
This dream of new love that you had is now falling
But I can't help you if you're still in love with him

- instrumental -

I tried to tell you that one day you would miss me
When it comes to love, you will either sink or swim
You went to him and now you will no more kiss me
Dear, I can't help you if you're still in love with him

An old mem'ry of our past is why you're calling
And your future now is looking so sad and grim
This dream of new love that you had is now falling
But I can't help you if you're still in love with him
To Never Have Loved You (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5584)

Dear, if in time I find that you're no longer mine
I'll try to not feel sorry for lost love at all
If the sun tomorrow finds me in pain, that's fine
The sorrow of losing you, I'll try to keep small

For I would rather know the thrill of your warm lips
And fulfill the dream of just knowing you were mine
Then to lose, than to never have loved you at all
I know love's a gamble and I might lose my chips
But I would rather remember love sweet as wine
Then to lose, than to never have loved you at all

- instrumental -

If the sun tomorrow finds me in pain, that's fine
The sorrow of losing you, I'll try to keep small

For I would rather know the thrill of your warm lips
And fulfill the dream of just knowing you were mine
Then to lose, than to never have loved you at all
I know love's a gamble and I might lose my chips
But I would rather remember love sweet as wine
Then to lose, than to never have loved you at all

I Can't Change All These Things (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5585)

Dear, I can't change all these things that help me remember you
I left your pictures hanging on the wall, couldn't burn 'em
I'm still banging my big toe on the chairs, couldn't turn 'em
All these things are still dear, I wish you were still here
No, I can't change all these things that help me remember you

The record player's playing yet, as it did yesterday
And I remember how we danced before you went away
Nothing really is the same, but I will never change them
No, I can't change all these things that help me remember you

I cleaned out the garage, cause there's no more projects to do
But I can't clear away the mirage of still seeing you
And dear, I while away the time thinking all these things through
No, I can't change all these things that help me remember you

- instrumental -

I've Come To Say So Long (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5586)

I'm not coming just to plead
As I have in times before
Oh, my heart is still in need
But I'm not begging anymore
Yes, I'm sorry things went wrong
And we had to end love's song
My dear, this time it's just goodbye
I've come to say so long

I used to beg on my knees
And my heart I would outpour
Now, you can keep these memories
I don't want them anymore
I won't ask you to explain
Why you feel I don't belong
My dear, my heart is filled with pain
I've come to say so long

- instrumental -

I've come to say so long
Since I've Had You (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5587)

Dear, you showed my world how to smile
You bestowed love a country mile
You have changed my sad skies to blue since I've had you
Dear, I have left my tears behind
And now, what's left is years so fine
You have changed my sad rags to glad since I've had you

You turned a pauper to a king
You're the reason why bluebirds sing
You have changed my sad skies to blue since I've had you
I'll be a king with a fine crown
Long as you, my queen, are around
You have changed my sad rags to glad since I've had you

Dear, you helped me climb that snow-capped mountain
You helped me sail the brine of oceans wide
And you helped me to cross love's Death Valley
I'm at a loss for words where love resides

- instrumental -

You have changed my sad skies to blue since I've had you
I'll be a king with a fine crown

Pretty Soft Wind (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5588)

Long ago there lived an Indian girl
Head to toe, the prettiest prairie girl
She sang a song, that the wind, they say, gave
For one strong and handsome Indian brave

Our pretty Soft Wind loved her warrior bold
Lovely Indian maid of long ago
Then one day her handsome brave came to say
Soft Wind, I go to battle far away

Stars all shine so bright for pretty Soft Wind
The moon is laughing, the wind is dancing
She knows her brave, love for her is keeping
Pretty Soft Wind is sleeping until day

- instrumental -

One day the bold handsome warriors returned
Pretty Soft Wind, for her own had so yearned
But her bold brave was nowhere to be found
His grave the warriors made on sacred ground

Stars all cry tonight for pretty Soft Wind
The moon is sighing, the wind is dying
She's trying to understand, and they say
Pretty Soft Wind still weeps until today

Stars all cry tonight for pretty Soft Wind
The moon is sighing, the wind is dying
She's trying to understand, and they say
Pretty Soft Wind still weeps until today
You're Not My Sunshine (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2008) (song#5589)

Well, I was right dear, in dreams while sleeping
I dreamed that you were in another's arms
I'm awake dear, to secrets you're keeping
But I'm not hangin' my head just to mourn

You're not my sunshine, you're love's in decline
You're gonna be sorry you've done this way
One thing I know dear, you were not sincere
You're not my sunshine, so just go away

You told me once dear, you'd always love me
But today, those love words don't sound the same
I know you're leaving, you've found another
You'll regret and pound your false heart in blame

You're not my sunshine, you're love's in decline
You're gonna be sorry you've done this way
One thing I know dear, you were not sincere
You're not my sunshine, so just go away

- instrumental -

I told you once dear, if you should leave me
That there would be no more love to be seen
I know you're leaving, you've found another
Like some movie star on a silver screen

You're not my sunshine, you're love's in decline
You're gonna be sorry you've done this way
One thing I know dear, you were not sincere
You're not my sunshine, so just go away
If I'm Ever In Your Town Again (Larry W. Jones 07/17/2008) (song#5590)

I'll stop by if I'm ever in your town again
And we'll reminisce over love that now has been
When love's over yonder, absence makes it fonder
Even though now I know we're just old friends
I'll stop by if I'm ever in your town again

If I'm ever in your town again, I'll stop by
And I hope that I don't break down and cry
Even though now I know we're just old friends
I guess my love for you has never found an end
I'll stop by if I'm ever in your town again

- instrumental -

Even though now I know we're just old friends
I'll stop by if I'm ever in your town again

If I'm ever in your town again, I'll stop by
And I hope that I don't break down and cry
Even though now I know we're just old friends
I guess my love for you has never found an end
I'll stop by if I'm ever in your town again
If I'm ever in your town again
Music From The Village (Larry W. Jones 07/17/2008) (song#5591)

Oh, I'd love to hear the music 
From the village at the twilight
That's the time for strolling
Where the clinging roses bloom and entwine
I'd love to whisper in your ear
Above the village at the twilight
That for us, the moon and stars above
Will forever lovelight shine, my dear

Til eternal love is ashes
Til love's music pages turn to dust
Dear, I'll be waiting there for you
Until the moonlight turns to rust
Oh, I'd love to hear the music
From the village at the twilight
Sing for us, the moon and stars above
Will forever lovelight shine, my dear

- instrumental -

Til eternal love is ashes
Til love's music pages turn to dust
Dear, I'll be waiting there for you
Until the moonlight turns to rust
Oh, I'd love to hear the music
From the village at the twilight
Sing for us, the moon and stars above
Will forever lovelight shine, my dear

Oh, I'd love to hear the music 
From the village at the twilight
On A Tropic Island (Larry W. Jones 07/17/2008) (song#5592)

On a tropic island, neath a tiki torch light
I would embrace you every night, with love so true
On some golden shore sand, I'd be a happy man
If you'd only give your hand, we would see love through

High on Mt Kiluea, down in Manoa Valley
I would go to find you anywhere, I'd be there
On a tropic island, neath a tiki torch light
I would embrace you every night, with loving care

Somewhere there's an island
For brand new brides and grooms
Just a thatched roof cottage
No need for many rooms
I could be a king there
If you were by my side
And with your love so rare
Forever I'd abide

- instrumental -

On a tropic island, neath a tiki torch light
I would embrace you every night, with love so true
On some golden shore sand, I'd be a happy man
If you'd only give your hand, we would see love through
Back Across The Rio (Larry W. Jones 07/17/2008) (song#5593)

Adios amigo, to old trails without end
On trails we have ridden, we have always been friends
But when two hearts beat for one heart
One heart must lose in love
Mi amigo, for your heart she longs
Adios amigo, I'll ride the trails alone

Adios saddle pal, and if it has to be
Say buenos diaz to our gal, give her one kiss for me
With fond mem'ries
On the lonesome trails, my heart may mend
Adios amigo, this is the end

- instrumental -

Adios saddle pal, and if it has to be
Say buenos diaz to our gal, give her one kiss for me

Adios amigo, let us now part with cheer
Enjoy your mananas, I will try to hide my tears
I'll ride back across the Rio
On the lonesome trails, my heart may mend
Adios amigo, this is the end
This Is A Trail Drive Cowboy Jones (Larry W. Jones 07/17/2008) (song#5594)

A bunch of greenhorn chaps were list'ning, filled with awe
Listened while the trail boss was layin' down the law
Around the big corral, they stood at attention
The greenhorns faces all turned red
The trail boss looked 'em over, these words he then said

This is a trail drive, cowboy Jones
No bunkhouse rooms, just prairie stones
Mama made your breakfast before
I ain't your Mama you adore

This is a trail drive, cowboy Green
You'll like Cookie's hardtack 'n beans
Mama made your bed, cleaned the floor
Cowboy, Mama ain't here no more

Just you do the biddin' of the point 'n flank man
You ain't here fer thanks or singin' in cowboy bands

- instrumental -

This is a trail drive, cowboy Brown
You leave yer darlin' back in town
She ain't here fer yer coffee poured
This is a trail drive you'll explore

This is a trail drive, cowboy Jones
No bunkhouse rooms, just prairie stones
Mama made your breakfast before
I ain't your Mama you adore

This is a trail drive, you greenhorns
Now git yer saddles ready for early morn
She Is All I Thought She Would Be (Larry W. Jones 07/18/2008) (song#5595)

She is all I thought she would be
From the day that you set her free
I'll care for her eternally
She is all I thought she would be

She is dear to my heart, so you must have been blind
And I have no feeling of losing her in time
Her lips are so warm, they can't be untrue
She'll keep loving me cause I'm not like you
Oh, I will remember she once belonged to you
But now I know, she is all I thought she would be

- instrumental -

She is dear to my heart, so you must have been blind

Oh, I will remember she once belonged to you
But now I know, she is all I thought she would be

She is all I thought she would be
Don't Let Him Hold You (Larry W. Jones 07/18/2008) (song#5596)

When you're away across the sea
You're bound to meet someone who reminds you of me

Don't let him hold you
Don't let him hold you in his arms
If your love is his delight
At night, you might forget about your own true love

Don't let him hold you
Don't let him hold you in his arms
Don't let him hold you in his arms
cause I'm the only one
who can enfold all of your charms
with real true love

Darling, please hear me
Listen to the words I say
Don't let him hold you
Don't let him hold you in his arms

- instrumental -

Darling, please hear me
Listen to the words I say
When you're away across the sea
You're bound to meet someone who reminds you of me

Don't let him hold you

At night, you might forget about your own true love

Don't let him hold you
Don't let him hold you in his arms
Don't let him hold you in his arms
cause I'm the only one
who can enfold all of your charms
with real true love

Don't let him hold you
Don't let him hold you in his arms
Don't let him hold you in his arms
cause I'm the only one
who can enfold all of your charms
with real true love

Real true love
Real true love
Real true love
It's Gonna Take Awhile Longer (Larry W. Jones 07/19/2008) (song#5597)

Darlin', it's gonna take awhile longer
Before you're all gone from my memory
Darlin', it's gonna take awhile longer
Before my memory will set you free

All my friends are saying, just hold on strong
Soon I'll be displaying a different me
Oh, but I'm still paying for nothing wrong
At least nothing I did, that I can see

Darlin', it's gonna take awhile longer
Before you're all gone from my memory
Darlin', it's gonna take awhile longer
Before my memory will set you free

- instrumental -

My friends say this feeling will disappear
That such feelings won't keep on keeping on
But there's no healing for my weeping here
Cause I have felt this way for much too long

Darlin', it's gonna take awhile longer
Before you're all gone from my memory
Darlin', it's gonna take awhile longer
Before my memory will set you free

Darlin', it's gonna take awhile longer
Before you're all gone from my memory
Just Out Of Touch (Larry W. Jones 07/19/2008) (song#5598)

Sweet dreams of you still by my side
Sweet dreams that run away to hide
Blues seem to never set me free
Blues love so much to bother me
Just out of touch of my sweet dreams of you

Each night my dreams of you seem real
Old mem'ries that won't let me heal
Then I awake and know it's true
Your love for me has lost appeal
Just out of touch of my sweet dreams of you

- instrumental -

Oh, how I need you to be near
How my heart bleeds for you, my dear
I reach for you until I'm blue
But I can't hold dreams that aren't here
Just out of touch of my sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you still by my side
Sweet dreams that run away to hide
Blues seem to never set me free
Blues love so much to bother me
Just out of touch of my sweet dreams of you
Wonderland Of Love (Larry W. Jones 07/19/2008) (song#5599)

You took me to where I wanted to be
A place that I thought I would never see
I heard of it in love songs long ago
And now I'm where real love can truly grow

You took me where happiness grows on trees
Where the bluebirds sing such sweet melodies
A place where lovely stars shine from above
Where there is no heartache, no tears to cry
And sweet dreams come to life and never die
Darling, you took me to the Wonderland of Love

- instrumental -

You are the wonder I've been dreaming of
And dear, I have never kissed sweeter lips
You're the door to the Wonderland of Love
And what's more, you're now at my fingertips

You took me where happiness grows on trees
Where the bluebirds sing such sweet melodies
A place where lovely stars shine from above
Where there is no heartache, no tears to cry
And sweet dreams come to life and never die
Darling, you took me to the Wonderland of Love
I'm now here in the Wonderland of Love
Last Letter Of Farewell (Larry W. Jones 07/19/2008) (song#5600)

I can't afford a mansion on a hill
Though I bought for you all the clothes you craved
But darling, your wild dreams I could not fill
And in time you will miss the love I gave

Dear, you came to view me as just a friend
What was it that turned your heart so cold
Read this farewell letter clear to the end
And then keep it for when your dreams are old

Now, as I write this letter of our past
I'm trying to think of nice things to tell
But I know that the time for love has passed
Dear, this is my last letter of farewell 

- instrumental -

But I know that the time for love has passed
