Jones 08/30/2008) (song#5797) I need to see you one more time My sad heart needs to feel sublime I need to see you one more time And make believe that you're still mine Arms that used to hold me so close Now enfold someone new, I know Even though it may be a crime I need to see you one more time Darling, oh, don't you know That I still want you so Oh, it's been such an uphill climb I need to see you one more time - instrumental - Wish I could turn the hands of time Back to that time where I could find The love I had when you were mine I need to see you one more time Darling, oh, don't you know That I still want you so Oh, it's been such an uphill climb I need to see you one more time I need to see you one more time I need to see you one more time Old Skip (Larry W. Jones 08/30/2008) (song#5798) When I was a lad and old Skip was a colt O'er trails and prairies we'd stray A young boy and his colt, o'er fences we'd bolt I recall it all to this day I remember the time on the big ol trail drive As a young cowboy, I fought a bad stampede Skip helped me survive and today I'm alive Yes, old Skip came right through when I had a need The years rolled along and old Skip drooped his head So, I took him to the old vet for an exam The vet took one look, then looked at me and said Sorry, but nobody can save him now, Sam Something I'd never done, I picked up my gun And I aimed it old Skip's faithful head But that deed I did shun, the tears had begun I would have rather been shot instead I took off his saddle and blanket of plaid He laid his old head on my shoulder so free I stroked the best pal a cowboy ever had And in the old corral, I scarcely could see Well, old Skip knew that his last trail ride was done For he then reached his hoof out and touched my hand His big eyes were bright as life faded from sight And then I knew that he knew I'd understand Now old Skip is gone to where good horses go No more over trails will old Skip and I roam For pals, if I had a vote, I'd choose the colt I knew as a lad when old Skip was my own Least Of All (Larry W. Jones 08/30/2008) (song#5799) Now, some things in life don't really matter Unless it's feast or famine or if love falls But dreams that once mattered have now shattered And losing you, I needed least of all Least of all dear, I needed to lose you You released me in Fall, as I recall I had to lose you to see you happy But losing you, I needed least of all - instrumental - It seems some live life for money only When some beast of fantasy comes to call Living life without you makes me lonely For losing you, I needed least of all Least of all dear, I needed to lose you You released me in Fall, as I recall I had to lose you to see you happy But losing you, I needed least of all Dear, losing you, I needed least of all Fifty Eight Hundred Miles (Larry W.

Jones) Three hundred silver dollars Is the price that's on his head Three hundred silver dollars Makes no diff'rence, live or dead The Kingwood Kowboy is guilty Of breakin' hearts with no remorse Sad hearts that cannot be rebuilt Then ridin' off on Fly, his horse Three hundred silver dollars Is the price that's on his head Three hundred silver dollars Makes no diff'rence, live or dead The Kingwood Kowboy loves longhorns But he makes little doggies bawl Now, he says he likes hobos, but that's in doubt He ditched 'em all the Gila Monster Route Three hundred silver dollars Is the price that's on his head Three hundred silver dollars Makes no diff'rence, live or dead The Kingwood Kowboy don't rob trains No, he just makes 'em wreck Now, he should pay for all that pain By hangin' from his neck Three hundred silver dollars Is the price that's on his head Three hundred silver dollars Makes no diff'rence, live or dead When the Kingwood Kowboy gets lonesome He writes another Cowboy/Country/Western song Then he grins again and yodels some Hops on Fly, says goodbye and rides on alone Into the sunset, that is... |
