1.Walking In The Sunshine
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
Put a smile upon your face as if there's nothing wrong
Think about a good time had a long time ago
Think about forgetting about your worries and your woes
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
La la la la la dee oh,
Whether the weather be rain or snow
Pretending can make it real
A snowy pasture, a green and grassy field
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
Put a smile upon your face as if there's nothing wrong
Think about a good time had a long time ago
Think about forgetting about your worries and your woes
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
La la la la la dee oh,
Whether the weather be rain or snow
Pretending can make it real
A snowy pasture, a green and grassy field
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
Put a smile upon your face as if there's nothing wrong
Think about a good time had a long time ago
Think about forgetting about your worries and your woes
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
Walking in the sunshine, singing a little sunshine song
Put a smile upon your face as if there's nothing wrong
2.You Didn't Have To Be So Nice
You didn't have to be nice
You didn't have to be so kind
Love there are plenty of hearts a-beggin' to be broken
Why'd you have to go and break mine
I've never been a one to trust anyone enough
To leave them my heart and soul, and say here they are take &em
I don't understand, anyone, woman or man
Who can take somebody's heart and just break &em
Well, you didn't have to be nice
You didn't have to be so kind
Love there are plenty of hearts a-beggin' to be broken
Why'd you have to go and break mine
You didn't have to be nice
You didn't have to be so kind
Love there are plenty of hearts a-beggin' to be broken
Why'd you have to go and break mine
Yeah, you didn't have to be nice
Yeah, you didn't have to be so kind
Love there are plenty of hearts a-beggin' to be broken
Why'd you have to go and break mine
3.Green Green Grass Of Home
The old hometown looks the same as i step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road i look and there comes mary hair of gold and lips
like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Yes they've all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home
The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and
dry
And there's that old oak tree that i used to play on
And down the lane i'd walk with my sweet mary hair of gold and
lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Yes they've all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
Lord it's so good to touch the green green grass of home
Then i awake and look around me at four gray walls that surround
me
And i realized that i was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre arm in arm we'll
walk at daybreak
Once again i'll touch the green green grass of home
Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home
4.Absence
Silence is simply the absence of sound
Darkness the absence of light
My life is made up of silence and darkness
Since the absence of you from my sight
We became birds of a different feather
Encountering storms we could neither one weather
L defy anyone to define me away
My heart can't go on this-a-way
Nearness is simply the absence of absence
Wrong is the absence of right
My life is made up of the absence of nearness
Since the absence of you from my sight
We became birds of a different feather
Encountering storms we could neither one weather
L defy anyone to define me away
My heart can't go on this-a-way
5.Pardon This Coffin
Pardon this coffin, please step aside
Pardon this coffin, my brother just died
Now don't you give me no ornary look or i'll knock you down
I'm taking this coffin, putting it six foot down
I'm telling you, six foot down
He was a champion, he was a chief
'til he lost that good job and went on relief
Then came the downfall of spirit and mind
The devil took to him, and he took to wine
So i'm telling you
Pardon this coffin, please step aside
Pardon this coffin, my brother just died
Now don't you give me no ornary look or l'll knock you down
I'm taking this coffin, putting it six foot down
I'm telling you, six foot down
Yeah, not many mourners, but i'm not suprised
Not many mourners, just me and two guys
Where's all them others that claimed they's his friend
Not many mourners, it's a sad way to end
So pardon this coffin, please step aside
Pardon this coffin, my brother just died
Now don't you give me no ornary look or i'll knock you down
I'm taking this coffin, putting it six foot down
I'm telling you, six foot down
6.Hey Good Lookin'
Hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
Hey sweet baby don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe
I got a hot rod ford and a two dollar bill
And i know a spot right over the hill
Where there's soda pop and the dancin's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me
Hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'

Hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
7.A Million Years Or So
L'm not worried, 'cos l know
L'll forget you in a million years or so
L'll miss you, but l know
L won't miss you but a million years or so
How l loved you, loved you so
How l lost you, maybe time and tide will let me know
But l'm not worried, 'cos l know
L'll forget you in a million years or so
L'll miss you, but l know
L won't miss you but a million years or so
8.Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted
hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down
Ruby, don't take your love to town
It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war
But i was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And it's true i'm not the man, ruby, that i used to be
Ruby, i still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, ruby i realize
But it won't be long i've heard them say until i'm not around
Oh ruby, don't take your love to town
She's leavin' now 'cause i just heard the slamming of the door
The way i know i've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if i could move i'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Ruby, don't take your love to town
For god's sake turn around
Don't take your love to town
9.I'd Come Back To Me
Well, if birds flew underwater, if a dollar bill was a dime
Boy wouldn't things be crazy
But maybe then you'd come around some time
If steamships flew the skyways, and honey wasn't made by the bee
If black was blue, if i was you, i'd come back to me
There's no way for you to know
How much that i miss you so
The world'd have to turn outside in
For you to ever be mine again
Well now if airplanes all flew backwards
And the moon was at the bottom of the sea
If one was two, if i was you, i'd come back to me
What if everything got reversed, poor folks ate caviar
And rich folks took to riding on santa fe boxcars
My hopes for your returning look hopeless as can be
If one was two, if i was you, i'd come back to me
There's no way for you to know
How much that i miss you so
The world'd have to turn outside in
For you to ever be mine again
Well now if polar bears wore derbies, and penguins ivy league
If are was you, if i was you, i'd come back to me
If one was two, if i was you, i'd come back to me
If egg was foo, if i was you, you'd be too young for me
10.Our Little Love
Our little love no longer is
Our little love is gone
Our little love no longer lives
I'm so blue, so forth and so alone
I guess our little heart is what you might call
One of the breaks of the game
Broken in two, feelin' blue
Since our little love ain't the same
I gave to you a part of my heart
But you threw your part away
Leavin' me forgotten, just wonderin' what in
The world made ya baby do me this way
Our little love no longer is
Our little love is gone
Our little love no longer lives
I'm so blue, so forth and so alone
I guess our little heart is what you might call
One of the breaks of the game
Broken in two, feelin' blue
Since our little love ain't the same
I gave to you a part of my heart
But you threw your part away
Leavin' me forgotten, just wonderin' what in
The world made ya baby do me this way
Our little love no longer is
Our little love is gone
Our little love no longer lives
I'm so blue, so forth and so alone
I guess our little heart is what you might call
One of the breaks of the game
Broken in two, feelin' blue
Since our little love ain't the same
Since our little love ain't the same
Since our little love ain't the same
Since our little love ain't the same
Our little love ain't the same as it used to be
Our little love ain't the same
11.The Riddle
Here's a riddle, what has two eyes that cry constantly
For your love, you guessed it, it's me
Here's a riddle, what has two arms that long desperately
For your love, you guessed it, it's me
And your love was once all the treasure i'd known
Now that's gone
Gone on the wings of a wild dream
Now i'm all alone
One more riddle, what has one heart that beats faithfully
For your love, you guessed it, it's me
And your love was once all the treasure i'd known
Now that's gone
Gone on the wings of a wild dream
Now i'm all alone
One more riddle, what has one heart that beats faithfully
For your love, you guessed it, it's me
