"Delta Dawn"

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her, 'baby'
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks down town with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
 
"New York City Song"

I'm sittin' in this New York City hotel room alone
Wishin' I was somewhere else or on my way back home
Nashville Tennessee I know that's where I do belong
Cause I don't know no New York City song

They know I'm from Dixie when I open up my mouth
They don't treat the ladies here the way they do down south
I thought I could make it here but I can't get along
Cause I don't know no New York City song
And Lord I'd like to tell you just how much I'd like to leave
Cause in my mind that south bound song is tuggin' on my sleeve
New York City ain't the place a country girl should be
New York City ain't the place for me
Today I walked a New York City avenue downtown
I've never seen so many people hurryin' around
And when I smile they look as if to say that smiling's wrong
No I don't know no New York City song
I'm sittin' in this New York City...
Cause I don't know no New York City song
 
"Smell The Flowers"

Yesterday oh how many do you wish you could relive
Turn the page and go back oh I wonder what you'd give
Looking back does it seem when you've planned when you've dreamed
You forgot the most important thing
Smell the flowers while the roses bloom take the time my friend and sing a happy tune
Oh how precious every mile so take a minute learn to smile
My friend let's stop a while and smell the flowers (smell the flowers)
[guitar]
Got a troubled mind friend if you let too much worry rule your days
When you look back do you feel like something precious slipped away
Oh my friend are you the man that the world slip through his hands
Can you remember when you smelled the flowers
Smell the flowers...
Smell the flowers...
 
"If You Touch Me (You've Got To Love Me)"

Well I packed his bags and kicked him out we were havin' bad times
Looking back I can see it was over nothin'
Since then there's been too much red wine and women messin' up his mind
But nothin' can compare with baby's lovin'
At two o'clock this mornin' he made up his mind
Said I'm goin' home to my sweet baby
He looked out the window at the city for the last time
Lord knows this life it'll drive him crazy
Well he walked out to the highway caught a semi headed home
I hope she'll take him back oh Lord he's prayin'
Now he's standin' at the front door and I'm here all alone
Then he heard his sweet baby sayin'
And I said if you touch me you've got to love me
And if you love me you'll have to stay with me forever
And I'll forgive you and love will be like it should be
So if you touch me you've got to love me
I said if you touch me you've got to love me
 
"He's All I Got"

Well I said friend don't take him he's all I've got
Please don't take his love away from me
I'm a beggin' to you friend don't take him he's all I've got
He's everything in life I'll ever need

He is life oh when I wanna live he's everything to me in life that life can give
He's my water oh when I need to drink
He's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think
Let me tell you now friend...

He's my fingers when I want to feel he's the only thing in life to me that's really real
He is love he's all the love I know
He could kiss the ground in the wintertime and make a flower grow
Let me tell you now friend...
 
"The Jamestown Ferry"

He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown ferry
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be

I didn't think that he'd leave me after sayin' how much he needs me
But the fact still remains, I'm sittin' here all alone
Missin' the lovin' of my baby, Lord, it's 'bout to drive me crazy
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known

He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown ferry
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be

As I walk through his kingdom of honky tonks and bars
I remember how he'd hold me and comfort me with talk
He didn't cuss with every breath he had a soothing Southern drawl
Made me feel like a lady through it all

He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown ferry
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be

He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
 
"Loving You Could Never Be Better"

Here we are again tonight alone just us two
Where the lights're dim and true love is coming through
There's no one else in this whole world as far as we're concerned
We built ourselves a fire so let it burn
Tomorrow night we'll meet again to once more fan the flame
Cause loving you the way I do stays the same
This love of ours is just as strong as any vow could be
And love could never be better for you and me
When you look at me like you do right now I go to pieces
Because I know what's on your mind it's just me
You've got that love-me-look in your eyes like you've had so many time and how
Loving you could never be better than it is right now
You've got that love-me-look...
Loving you could never be better than it is right now
 
"Soul Song"

Mhm mhm mhm
[guitar]
You're my soul song my everything-that-I-do song
My pick-me-up-when-I'm-blue song that's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song and that's why I call you my solid-gold song
Nothin' in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine

Never in the world have I seen anybody like you in all my time
You give me a feel good feelin' through and through and it's so fine
I'm up with the sun cause I don't wanna waste it
I love you so much I can almost taste it
I can sit still when I look up and see you comin' I start hummin' hmm
You're my soul song my keep-me-safe-from-all-harm song
My shelter-from-all-storm song that's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song my keep-me-warm-when-I'm-cold song
Nothin' in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine
You're my soul song...
 
"Love's The Answer"

If you think it's hard in this day and time
To hold your man like I been holding mine
There's no secret just some little things to do
It worked for me and it's bound to work for you

A loving smile will start his day out right
A goodbye kiss will bring him home at night
Reach out to him when he needs a helping hand
Touch him gently so, he knows you understand

Be proud of him when you know he's done his best
Let him know you think, he's better that the rest
If you wanna hold your man, this is the way
Love him more today than you did yesterday
Love's the answer, love's the answer

Be proud of him when you know he's done his best
Let him know you think, he's better that the rest
If you wanna hold your man, this is the way
Love him more today than you did yesterday
Love's the answer, love's the answer
Love's the answer, love's the answer
 
"The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA"

Shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world
It's a skippidity-do-da day
I'm the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A.

Good morning morning
Hello sunshine
Wake up sleepy head
Why'd we move that bojangle clock
so far away from the bed

Just one more minute
That's why we moved it
One more hug or two
Do you love waking up next to me
As much as I love waking up next to you

You make the coffee
I'll make the bed
I'll fix your lunch
if you"ll fix mine

Now tell me the truth
Do these old shoes look funny
Honey
it's almost nine

Now you be careful
Gotta go I love you
Have a beautiful day,
And kiss the happiest girl, In the whole U.S.A.

[Bridge:]
Skippidity-do-da
Thank you oh Lord
for making him for me
And thank you for letting life turn out the way

That I always thought it could be
There once was a time when I could not imagine
How it would feel to say
I'm happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A

[Chorus:]
Now shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world
It's a skippidity-do-da day
I'm the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A.

[Repeat Chorus 2x (to fade)]
 
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
That midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
 
"What's Your Mama's Name"

Thiry some odd years ago
A young man came to Memphis
Askin' 'bout a rose that used to blossom
In his world
People never took the time
to mind the young man's questions
Until one day they heard him ask
a little green eyed girl

[Chorus:]
What's your mama's name child
What's your mama's name
Does she ever talk about
A place called New Orleans
Has she ever mentioned
A man named Bueferd Wilson
What's your mama's name child
What's your mama's name

Twenty some odd years ago
A drunk went down in Memphis
Lost a month of life and labor
To the county jail
Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question
And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell

A year and some odd days ago
An old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward
So the county had to claim
Inside the old mans ragged coat
They found a faded letter
It said you have a daughter
And her eyes are Wilson green

[Repeat Chorus]
 
"Horseshoe Bend"

It's been a Saturday everyday and a whole month of Sundays
And I get sadder every day he's gone

Horseshoe Bend old friend that's been so long since we saw him
When he laid me down upon your banks and made this girl a woman
As the Virgin Mother sang us a song
Horseshoe Bend he's just like you old river he'll keep rolling
And I'll keep praying someday he'll come home
It's been a Saturday everyday...

Here comes Frank again old friend and there ain't no sign of him
But just because I can't see him don't mean I forgot him
And I'll keep praying someday he'll come home
It's been a Saturday everyday...
[guitar - steel]
Horseshoe Bend old friend that's been...
It's been a Saturday everyday...
 
"The Chokin' Kind"

I only meant to love you don't you know it babe
Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave
I've given you my heart and now you want my mind
Your love scares me to death boy it's the chokin' kind

You can kill a girl with bullets poison or a knife
But it hurts her more to take her pride and run her life
Whatever it is you want boy I hope you find
But that hat don't fit my head it's the chokin' kind

When you fall in love again now take a tip from me
If you don't like the peaches walk on by the tree
Find what you want and keep it treat it sweet and kind
But let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind
But let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind
 
"California Cotton Fields"

My driftin' mem'ry goes back to the spring of '43
When I was just a child in mama's arms
My daddy plowed the ground and prayed that some day he could leave
This run down mortaged Oklahoma farm

Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my mama
He finally saved enough for us to go
California was his dream a paradise wall he had seen
Pictures in magazines that told him so

California cottonfields
Where labor camps were filled with worried men with broken dreams
California cottonfields was as close to wealth as daddy ever came

Almost everything we had to sow we left behind
From my daddy's plows to the fruit that mama canned
Some folks came to say farewell and see what all we had to sell
Some just came to shake my daddy's hand

The Model A was loaded down and California bound
And a change of luck was just four days away
But the only change that I remember seeing for my daddy
Was when his dark hair had turned to silver gray

California cottonfields [?]
California cottonfields [?]
 
"The Teddy Bear Song"

I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin' on the shelf in the local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for

I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry

I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a string you'd pull to make me say
Hi, I'm Teddy ain't it a lovely day
Then I'd know every time I spoke the words were right
And no one would know the mess I made in my life

I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

And I'm wishin' I hadn't fallen in love with you
 
"Blood Red And Goin' Down"

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down

Daddy said, "Now come girl
We're headed down the road to Augusta"
And frankly through his clenched teeth
He called Mama's name and then he cussed her

He said, "Girl, you're young
But some dude has come along and stole your mother"
But you can't steal a willin' mind
'Cause mama's always lookin' for a lover

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down

With dusty teardrops on his face
My daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'
Halfway runnin' to keep up
My shorter legs were so tired and shakin'

"Where did I go wrong, girl?
Why would she leave us both this way?"
At times like these, a child of ten
Never knows exactly what to say

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down

We searched in every barroom
An' honky-tonk as well
An' finally daddy found them
And Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell

He sent me out to wait
But scared I looked back through the door
An' daddy left them both
Soakin' up the sawdust on the floor

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
 
"Song Man"

On the sidewalks of Savannah
There's an old man ragged and blind
He don't beg an' he don't steal
And he don't fool with wine

With an old guitar in his wrinkled hands
A thousand songs in his mind
You can't keep your heart from lovin'
The song man when you hear him cry

"Song Man, one song for a dime
I got songs that'll make ya happy
And songs that'll make ya cry
I got a special poor man's blues"

"Two for the price of one
It won't cost you a thing to hear me
Sing my favorite Gospel song"

"Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
I've been a fightin' the devil too long
Lord, I'm comin' home"

All the old timers in Savannah
Have known him all of their lives
And they all say that he's done seen
A hundred years go by

With an old dog he calls Govenor John
He starts at the break of dawn
And he don't stop as long as someone
Wants to hear him sing a song

"Song Man, one song for a dime
I got songs that'll make ya happy
And songs that'll make ya cry
I got a special poor man's blues"

"Two for the price of one
It won't cost you a thing to hear me
Sing my favorite Gospel song"

"Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
I've been a fightin' the devil too long
Lord, I'm comin' home"

Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
I've been a fightin' the devil too long
Lord, I'm comin' home
 
"The Missing Piece Of Puzzle"

You're the sunshine
That warms my heart each day
You're the rainbow
When gray clouds roll away

You're the melody for the words
That my heart's been tryin' to think of
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love

You're the paint on the canvas
Where an artist spilled his dream
You're something to believe
In an answer prayer for me

You're my guiding angel
Sent from heaven above
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love

You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to make my life complete
You're something to remember when I'm down
And need to get back on my feet

You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love
 
"Rainy Girl"

Maybe you wish I was someone else
I've tried so hard to be myself
But I can see you need a change
Some folks get tired of the rain
Some folks get tired of the rain

One sunny day you'll change your mind
And look for clouds but you find
Your rainy girl won't rain no more
Some folks get tired of the rain
Some folks get tired of the rain

Hope you find those sunny days
As bright as you thought they would be
Remember who wanted what a change
It was you babe, not me

My love will last forever more
Just like the rain my love will pour
And when you go I'll love again
Some folks don't tire of the rain
Some folks don't tire of the rain
Some folks get tired of the rain
