The Country Side

Roger Miller The Country Side歌詞
1.I Aint Never

Well, i ain't never, i ain't never
Seen nobody like you, no, no, no
Never have i seen nobody like you

You call me up and say to meet me at nine
I have to hurry, hurry, but i'm there on time
I walk a'right up and knock on your door
The landlord says, 'she ain't a'here no more'

I ain't never, oh, darling
Seen nobody like you, boo hoo,
But i love you
Yeah, i love you, i love you just the same

You tell me sweet things that you don't mean
You've got me a'livin' in a haunted dream
You make me do things that i don't want to do
My friends all say what's wrong with you

I ain't never, oh darling
Seen nobody like you, boo hoo,
But i love you
Yeah, i love you
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same


2.Under Your Spell Again

You've got me, under your spell again
Saying those things again
I gotta take you back just one more time

I swore the last time that you let me down
That i wouldn't see you if you came around
But i can't tell my heart what is right or wrong
And i've been so lonely dear since you've been gone

You've got me, under your spell again
Saying those things again
You've got me dreaming those dreams again
Thinking those things again
I gotta take you back just one more time

You've got me, under your spell again
Saying those things again
You've got me dreaming those dreams again
Thinking those things again
I gotta take you back just one more time


3.Tips Of My Fingers

I reached out my arms and i touched you
With soft words i whispered your name
I held you right on the tip of my fingers
But that was as close as i came

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yielding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But i let it slip right through my hands
I let it slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when i wasn't looking
And i should have known from the start
It's a long long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart


4.I Wish I Could Fall In Love Today

I wish that i could fall in love today
But memories of you stand in the way
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy with the blues

I wish that i could fall in love today
But if i did i know i wouldn't stay
You'd come between us like you always do
Somehow they never measure up to you

Each night i pray i'll wake up at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then i awake and hear my poor heart say
I wish that i could fall in love today


5.Jimmy Brown The Newsboy

I sell the morning papers sir,
My name is jimmy brown
Everybody knows that i||'m a newsboy of the town

You will hear me yelling 'morning star'
As i run along the street
I have no hat upon my head,
No shoes upon my feet

Never mind sir how i look
Don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning papers sir
My name is jimmy brown

I'm awful cold and hungry sir
My clothes are torn and thin
I wander 'bout from place to place
My daily bread to win

My father died a drunkard sir
I've heard my mother say
I'm helping mother sir
As i journey on my way

My mother always tells me sir
There's nothing in the world to lose
I'll get a place in heaven sir
To sell the gospel news


6.Poor Little John

Little john lived on a mountainside,
Never thought much about taking on a bride,
Finally he upped and he married one day,
She didn't like the country so she done run away

Poor little john, poor little john,
Your mama used to love you but your mama's gone
What you gonna do, livin' all alone,
Your mama used to love you but your mama's gone

Little john say what a fool i be,
Hot tone woman make a monkey outa me,
Life gets lonesome on the mountainside,
Guess that's the reason little john sit and cried

Poor little john, poor little john,
Your mama used to love you but your mama's gone
What you gonna do, livin' all alone,
Your mama used to love you but your mama's gone

Little john don't know what he gonna do,
Lose one woman, don't wanna try for two,
Guess he'll get along without no help,
Live all his life on the mountain by hisself
(repeat chorus to fade)


7.Country Girl


8.Playboy

well they call me a playboy--while i'm makin' my rounds

Chasing the bright lights--of every night spot in town

Tho' i never show it--my hearts breaking in two

Yes they call me a playboy--but i'm just lonesome for you

I once had a real love--that was when i had you

But i'll never feel love--with somebody new

This false pride i'm wearing--is to cover my blues

They call me a playboy--but i'm just lonesome for you


9.Who Shot Sam


10.You're Forgetting Me

Your kisses ain't the same as they used to be
They used to be so hot they sent a chill through me
You used to treat me good
But now you're not so kind
I keep hopin' baby you will make up your mind

I guess you're forgetting me
Still each day i'm anxiously
Waitin' hopin' you may change your mind
Guess you're forgetting me

I've been waitin' for you baby, long long time
I'm ready for you now to be makin' up your mind
You used to say you love me, but you don't any more
Sure wish you would love me like you did before

I guess you're forgetting me
Still each day i'm anxiously
Waitin' hopin' you may change your mind
Guess you're forgetting me

When we used to walk you put your hand in mine
But now you act as though you'd rather walk along behind
Tell me what's the reason for the way that you feel
Could it be you found yourself a better deal

I guess you're forgetting me
Still each day i'm anxiously
Waitin' hopin' you may change your mind
Guess you're forgetting me


11.Can't Stop Loving You

Well i tried my best but that ain't enough
I'm tryin' to forget you and it's gettin' mighty tough
The blues just follow me around the whole day through

No matter where i go honey i still find
You're right there bearin' on my mind
I've tried so hard but i can't stop loving you

I can't forget about the many good times, we used to have
You and i
I think about how you found somebody new, and ever since i just
Sit and cry

Somebody tell me what am i gonna do
Feelin' like this i can't live my life through
I've tried so hard but i can't stop loving you

I can't forget about the many good times, we used to have
You and i
I think about how you found somebody new, and ever since i just
Sit and cry


12.Pillow

Pillow you're catching my tears again,
Why can't these lonely nights come to an end,
I once loved someone, but now she is gone,
Oh why must i cry on and on.

Pillow you're catching all of my blues,
I lay here crying every night through,
She won't even write me, or call on the phone,
Oh why must i cry on and on

Darling, oh darling, wherever you are,
Come back, oh come back,
Don't wander too far.

Pillow i guess we'll go through it tonight,
I can't help my feelings, i can't hold them back,
I know it's foolish, and i know she's gone,
Oh why must i cry on and on.
