1.Tennessee Waltz

Written：Redd Stewart／Pee Wee King

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

REPEAT ALL


2.Green, Green Grass Of Home

The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to greet me are my mamma and my poppa;
Down the road I look, and there runs Mary,
Hair of gold, lips like cherries,
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

CHORUS：
Yes, they'll all come to meet me,
Arms a-reachin', smilin' sweetly,
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home,

The old house is still standin,
'Though the paint is cracked and dry,
And there's that old oak tree,
That I used to play in.
Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries,
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Then I awake and look around me,
At the four gray walls that surround me,
And I realize that I was only dreaming,
For there's a guard and a sad old padre,
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak,
And at last I'll touch the green green grass of home.

(CHORUS)


3.Gentle On My Mind

Lyrics：John Hartford
Music：John Hartford

It's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said because
They thought we fit together walkin'
It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're movin' on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see
You walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
In some train yard
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waitin' from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind


4.Scarlet Ribbons(For Her Hair)

Written：Evelyn Danzig／Jack O.Segal

I peeped in to say good night
And I heard my child in prayer
'Please bring me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair'

Searched all night, my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking

I peeped in, and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Scarlet ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair


5.Try To Remember

作詞：Harvey Schmidt
作曲：Tom Jones

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow

Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow

Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow

Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow

Try to remember the kind of September

When love was an ember about to billow

Try to remember, and if you remember
Then follow, follow


6.I'll Never Fall In Love Again

Written：Lonnie Donegan／Jimmy Currie

I've been in love so many times
Thought I knew the score
But now you've treated me sorta wrong
I can't take anymore
And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again

Fall in love, I'm never gonna fall in lo-o-ve
I mean it
Fall in love a-a-a-a-a-a-a-gain

All those things I heard about you
I thought they were only lies
But when I caught you in his arms
I just broke down and cried
And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again

Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in lo-o-ve
I mean it, I mean it
Fall in love a-a-a-a-a-a-a-gain

I gave my heart so easily
I cast aside my pride
But when ya fell for someone else, baby
I broke up all inside
And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again


Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in lo-o-ve
Please don't make me
Fall in love again


7.Old Cape Cod

Written：Claire Rothrock／Milt Yakus／Allan Jeffrey

If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
(You're sure)You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(Cape Cod, that old Cape Cod)

If you like the taste of a lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
(You're sure)You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of green beneath a sky of blue
Church bells chimin' on a Sunday morn
Remind you of the town where you were born

If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

(aah, aah)

If you spend an evening you'll want to stay (on Cape Cod Bay)
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
You're sure to fall in love
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod


8.Little Green Apples

Lyrics：Bobby Russell
Music：Bobby Russell

And I wake up in the mornin'
With my hair down in my eyes and she says 'Hi'
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to schooloodbye
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
And squeezes it 'n' says 'How ya feelin', hon？'
And I look across at smilin' lips
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun

And if that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind

Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
And I'm always late
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me
'cause she's made that way

And if that ain't lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns

FADE

God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis


9.Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte

CHORUS：

Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He'll love you till he dies

Oh, hold him darling
Please hold him tight
And brush the tears from your eye
You weep because you had a dream last night
You dreamed that he said goodbye

He held two roses within his hand
Two roses he gave to you
The red rose tells you of his passion
The white rose his love so true

CHORUS

And every night after he shall die
Yes every night when he's gone
The wind will sing to you this lullaby
Sweet Charlotte was loved by John

CHORUS


10.Call Me Irresponsible(From The Film：Papa's Delicate Condition)

Lyrics：Sammy Cahn
Music：Jimmy Van Heusen

Call me irresponsible - call me unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibis bore you
Well I'm not too clever - I just adore you

Call me unpredictable - tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible - yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true - I'm irresponsibly mad for you


11.Days Of Wine and Roses

Lyrics：Johnny Mercer
Music：Henry Mancini

The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at
play
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked 'nevermore' that wasn't there before

The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled with
memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you

(The lonely night discloses) just a passing breeze filled with
memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you-oo-oo


12.In The Chapel In The Moonlight

There's a little old church
That's covered with moss
Where I held your hand tenderly
I often go there to gaze at the cross
And dream that you'll come back to me

How I'd love to hear the organ
In the chapel in the moonlight
While we're strolling down the aisle
Where roses entwine

How I'd love to hear you whisper
In the chapel in the moonlight
For the love light in your eyes
Forever will shine

Till the roses turn to ashes
Till the organ turns to rust
If you never come, I'll still be there
Till the moonlight turns to dust

How I'd love to hear the choir
In the chapel in the moonlight
As they sing, 'Oh Promise Me


13.That Doggie In The Window

Lyrics：Bob Merrill
Music：Bob Merrill

CHORUS
How much is that doggie in the window？ ＊(arf! arf!)＊
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window？ ＊(arf! arf!)＊
I do hope that doggie's for sale

I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home

CHORUS


I read in the paper there are robbers ＊＊(roof! roof!)＊＊
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for a walk

How much is that doggie in the window？ ＊(arf! arf!)＊
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window？ ＊(arf! arf!)＊
I do hope that doggie's for sale

I do hope that doggie's for sale

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE：'＊(arf! arf!)＊' sounds like a small dog,
perhaps Pekingese. ＊＊'＊＊(roof!
roof!)＊＊' is a bigger dog, maybe a German Shepherd.


14.Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

Written：Hal David
Music：Burt Bacharach

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
the Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

... trumpet ...

Rindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there's one thing I know The blues they send to
meet me won't defeat me It won't be long till happiness
steps up to greet me Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain
by complaining I'm never gonna stop the rain by
complaining I'm never gonna stop the rain
Because I'm free Nothing's worrying me


15.Mockin' Bird Hill

Lyrics：Vaughn Horton
Music：Vaughn Horton

CHORUS
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill

When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of those birds in the treetops on Mockin'bird Hill

CHORUS：


When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
Singing songs in the twilight on Mockin'bird Hill

CHORUS X 3 with FADE on third

END OF PAGE'S VERSION

It has been reported (but I can't confirm) that other versions
may contain an
additional verse：

Got a three cornered plow and an acre to till
And a mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill
There's a tumble-down shack and a rusty old mill,
But it's my home sweet home up on Mockin'bird Hill


16.Just A Simple Melody
