1.It Happened Just That Way
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way
Well-a l was born in a boomer's shack
'bout that far from the railroad track
Choo-choo rattled my window pane
Sheet-iron roof tells me every time it rained
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way
I went to a one-room school
Walked to and from the school
I carried lunch in a paper sack
It was one mile over and two miles back
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way
And now my brother worked hard in the grain
Poppa drove a choo-choo train
One sister was a righteous girl
But the other 'un' was a woman of the world
Chorus to fade
2.But I Love You More
I love the smell of clover
When the winter's over
Yes i do, yes i do
But i love you more
I love the kind of lovesong
One can hum the day long
Yes i do, yes i do
But i love you more (i love you)
Things like birds that sing
Flowers that bloom and falling rain
Things to love and cherish
For without your love i'd perish
I love the smell of clover
When the winter's over
Yes i do, yes i do
But i love you more
(i love you i love you i love you........)
Yes i love the smell of clover
When the winter's over
Yes i do, yes i do
But i love you more
(i love you i love you)
3.Burma Shave
Way down yonder by the forks of the branch
The old sow whistled and the little pigs danced
Burma shave burma burma burma shave
I bet i've seen a million rows
Of them little red poles and it's signs up and down the line
Come on come on one more time
Yonder goes willie he's passin' on a hill
He don't dress nice but he drives fit to kill
Burma shave burma burma burma shave
I bet i've seen a million rows
Of them little red poles and it's signs up and down the line
Giddyup giddyup tally ho
Well my pappy ain't smart he ain't good at quizzin'
But one thing he knows is how to keep mama his'n
Burma shave burma burma burma shave
I bet i've seen a million rows
Of them little red poles and it's signs up and down the line
Come on come on one more time
Roses are red and violets are blue you chase me and so will i
Burma shave burma burma burma shave
I bet i've seen a million rows
Of them little red poles and it's signs up and down the line
Come on come on one more time
4.I Catch Myself Crying
It doesn't matter one way
Or another, i say
But i'm lyin'
I catch myself cryin'
There are fools, i was one
But it's over and done
And i'm tryin'
But i catch myself cryin'
I catch myself wonderin'
If you'll find somebody new
I catch myself wonderin'
If you're wonderin'
If i'll find somebody, too
It doesn't matter one way
Or another, i say
But i'm lyin'
I catch myself cryin'
I catch myself wonderin'
If you'll find somebody new
I catch myself wonderin'
If you're wonderin'
If i'll find somebody, too
It doesn't matter one way
Or another, i say
But i'm lyin'
I catch myself cryin'
5.I Get Up Early In The Morning
When christopher columbus returned to spain
The wise men asked him, would you please explain
How'd you know the world was round he said i used my brain
And i get up early in the morning
We.e.e.elll, get up and get up when the sun comes up
Don't lay there dozin' like a lazy pup
Health and wealth will overflow your cup
If you get up early in the morning
Andrew jackson fought the british down in new orleans
And he sent them runnin' through the turnip greens
When they wondered how he did it he said, were just mean
And i get up early in the morning
We.e.e.elll, get up and get up when the sun comes up
Don't lay there dozin' like a lazy pup
Health and wealth will overflow your cup
If you get up early in the morning
They asked casanova, uh man, what you got
That makes all the women think that you're so hot
He said, well my little secret boys, believe it or not
Is i get up early in the morning
We.e.e.elll, get up and get up when the sun comes up
Don't lay there dozin' like a lazy pup
Health and wealth will overflow your cup
If you get up early in the morning
6.I Know Who It Is
Somebody made every rock and tree
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Somebody gave his all for me
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Way up in the sky
His love can lift you high
Somebody made every rock and tree
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Who told noah look up to the sky
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Who showed the dove which way to fly
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Way up in the sky
His love can lift you high
Somebody made every rock and tree
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Who said there'd be fields of fire
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Who was the power stronger and higher
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Way up in the sky
His love can lift you high
Somebody made every rock and tree
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Now who saved jonah from the big old whale
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Who said to follow me and you can't fail
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Way up in the sky
His love can lift you high
Somebody made every rock and tree
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Now who freed daniel from the lion's den
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Who gave moses the rules of men
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
Way up in the sky
His love can lift you high
Somebody made every rock and tree
I know who it is and i'm gonna tell on him
7.You're A Part Of Me
(this is a song called a part of me)
You'll always be part of me just like the wind that blows his
part
Of every storm that fills my heart
You'll always be the light that shines and guides me through the
lonely nights
That you have left me here, the tears won't start
You're part of me like kisses are a part of love
You'll never leave my memory long enough to see me cry
You'll always be green pastures between the rocky roads i travel
on
Our love won't die
You'll always be part of me as surely as the waves will touch
the shore
You'll brush my heart
You'll always be the one i love no matter if it be a lonely day
or night
My tears won't start
You're part of me like robins are a part of spring
You'll always be a part of me at least in memory
You'll always be today for me because they say tomorrow never
comes
You're part of me, you're part of me
8.You Can't Do Me This Way
Well you don't care how i hurt
You don't care how i've cried
You gotta learn you can't do me this way and get by with it
Well i don't know, i don't know why
But everything you tell me is a lie
You gotta learn you can't do me this way and get by with it
Well it seemed at first my thirst for love
Was satisfied by your sweet charms
But now and then you'd lend yourself to someone else's arms
If you can't treat me right well at least won't you give me a
try
You gotta learn you can't do me this way and get by with it
Well it seemed at first my thirst for love
Was satisfied by your sweet charms
But now and then you'd lend yourself to someone else's arms
If you can't treat me right well at least won't you give me a
try
You gotta learn you can't do me this way and get by with it
9.I'll Be Somewhere
When he holds you i'll be somewhere and when he kisses you i'll
be somewhere
When he takes you somewhere where the lights are dim
I'll be somewhere wishing i were him
I'll be somewhere wishing it could be my arms around you
Just the way it used to be between you and me
When he calls you i'll be somewhere and when he talks to you
i'll be somewhere
And when he takes you somewhere where the lights are dim
I'll be somewhere wishing i were him
I'll be somewhere wishing
10.If You Want Me To
Thunder rollin' lightnin' flashin'
But right through the middle of it i go dashin'
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to
Well, hurricane winds blow grief and sorrow
But i'd run through one tomorrow
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to
Well, there's no limit to
What i'll not go through for you
Anything you ask of me
I'll make it my destiny
Well thunder rollin' lightnin' flashin'
But right through the middle of it i go dashin'
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to
Thunder rollin' lightnin' flashin'
But right through the middle of it i go dashin'
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to
Well, hurricane winds blow grief and sorrow
But i'd run through one tomorrow
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to
Well, there's no limit to
What i'll not go through for you
Anything you ask of me
I'll make it my destiny
Well thunder rollin' lightnin' flashin'
But right through the middle of it i go dashin'
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to
