1.The 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.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


3.I Went To Your Wedding

Lyrics:Jessie Mae Robinson
Music:Jessie Mae Robinson

I went to your wedding
Although I was dreading
The thought of losing you
The organ was playing
My poor heart kept saying
'Your dreams, your dreams are through'

She came down the aisle, wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh, whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness

Your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losin' you

She came down the aisle, wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh, then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness

Oh, your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you


4.How Much Is 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.


5.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


6.Allegheny Moon

Lyrics:Dick Manning/Al Hoffman
Music:Dick Manning/Al Hoffman

Allegheny Moon I need your light
To help me find romance tonight
So shine, shine, shine
Allegheny Moon your silver beams
Can lead the way to golden dreams
So shine, shine, shine

High among the stars so bright above
The magic of your lamp of love can make him mine
Allegheny Moon it up to you
Please see what you can do
For me and for my one and only love

Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine

High among the stars so bright above
The magic of your lamp of love can make him mine
Allegheny Moon it up to you
Please see what you can do
For me and for my one and only love

Shine on me tonight, Allegheny Moon


7.Changing Partners

Lyrics:Joe Darion
Music:Larry Coleman

We were waltzin' together to a dreamy melody
When they called out 'Change partners'
And you waltzed away from me
Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze around the floor
And I'll keep on changing partners
Till I hold you once more

Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment somethin' happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again

Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment somethin' happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again


8.Cross Over the Bridge

Written:Bennie Benjamin/George Weiss

If you're a guy that's had a gal in each and every port
And you've forgot the rules of love that life has always taught
And if you broke as many hearts as ripples in a stream
Well, brother, here's the only way that you can be redeemed

CHORUS
Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way o'livin', cross over the bridge
Leave you fickle past behind you and true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge

If you have built a boat to take you to the greener side
And if that boat is built of ev'ry lie you ever lied
You'll never reach the Promised Land of love, I guarantee
'cause lies cannot hold water and you'll sink into the sea

CHORUS

I know it isn't easy to resist temptation's call
But think of how your broken heart will hurt you when you fall
'cause some day you will find that you are hopelessly in love
And she'll belong to someone else as sure as stars above

CHORUS

Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
FADE
Cross over the bridge

Hi-lee Hi-lo Hi-lup up - up
Hi-lee Hi-lo Hi-left!
Hi-lee Hi-lo Hi-lup up - up
Hi-lee Hi-lo Hi-left!

CHORUS:
Oh, I was left (left), right (right)
Out of your arms
Oh, I was left (left), right (right)
Out of your charms
My heart said yes, right (right)

VERSES (Female version)

1.
Oh, you were such a cute Marine
I really was impressed
You said of all the girls you knew
That you liked me the best
I gave you all my kisses
Surrendered all my charms
But time revealed, you played the field
And I was...left...
(Chorus)

2.
You said you'd look me up, up, up
When you got back to town
But when you hit the city
All you did was look around
I caught you with a red-head
And, baby, tho' you said
You're merely warmin'up for me
I figure I was...left...
(Chorus)

3.
You called me on the telephone
And said: 'Suzie dear
You're bein' mighty silly
in believin' all you hear
You know I love you only
So Suzie save your breath'
But, since my name is Cindy Lou
I know that I was...left...
(Chorus)

1.
You said I was a cute Marine

Surrendered my two arms
But time revealed you played the field
And darling I was...left
(Chorus)

2.
You said to look you up, up, up
When I got back to town
But when I hit the city
All you did was let me down
I caught you with a sailor

I figured I was...left....
