(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care

 
(words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
 
You're so square - baby
You're so square
 
Oh you don't like greasy diners
You don't like sleezy bands
You just want to go
To a movie show
And sit there holding hands
You're so square
Baby I don't care
 
You don't like going to parties
To toot and talk all night long
You just want to park
Where it's nice and dark
And kiss me, sweet and strong
You're so square
Baby, I don't care
 
You don't know any dance steps
That are new
But nobody else could love me
Like you do
 
I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why
I love you baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
darlin' I don't care
 
 

Baby, if You'll Give Me All of Your Love

 
(Words & music by Joy Byers)
 
I'll send you red roses by the dozen
I'll call you sweet little things like turtle dove
I'll whisper pretty things in your ear
The kinda things a girl likes to hear
Baby, if you'll give me all of your love
 
I'll bring you pounds and pounds of chocolate candy
To prove it's you that I've been thinking of
Tear up all the pictures I own of every pretty girl I've ever
known
Baby, if you'll give me all of your love
 
I'll take you dancin' every night until you're ready to drop
I'll kiss your sweet red cherry lips until you holler stop
Every night I'll serenade you 'neath your window
If you need me just a whistle and I won't need a shove
I'll hug you squeeze you tight as I can
It ain't gonna be no one-night stand
Baby, if you'll give me all of your love
 
I'll take you dancin' every night until you're ready to drop
I'll kiss your sweet red cherry lips until you holler stop
Every night I'll serenade you 'neath your window
If you need me just a whistle and I won't need a shove
I'll hug you squeeze you tight as I can
It ain't gonna be no one-night stand
Baby, if you'll give me all of your love
Baby, if you'll give me all of your love
If you will give me, if you will give me all your love

 Apron Strings (Weiss/Schroeder)
 There's No Tomorrow (Hoffman - Corday - Carr)
 
I'll take you home again Kathleen
Across the ocean wild
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my bonny bride
The roses all have left your cheek
I watch them fade away and die
Your voice is soft when you speak
And tears bedim your lovely eyes
Oh, I will take you home Kathleen
Across the ocean wild
And when the fields are soft and green
I will take you to your home Kathleen
 
Somehow I feel
That someday we'll meet again
Don't ask me how
It's something I can't explain
Until the day
I give up all hope of you
Assure yourself this I'll do
I will be true
 
It's been so long darling
Since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long darling
But now I realize
'bout your love, not seeing you,
It hurts me through and through
It's been so long darling
Well, I'm coming back to you

There tatatatata
There's no tomorrow
When love isn't near
 
 
Barefoot Ballad
(Words & music by Fuller - Morris)
 
I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a down home country song
'Cos when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off
With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong
 
Give me a honk-tonk fiddle with a guitar in the middle and a
melody
Humming like a fountain swinging out on smokey mountain
 
I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a down home country song
'Cos when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off
With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong
 
Now the big toe's connected to the two toe
And the two toe's connected to the three toe
And the three toe's connected to the four toe
And the four toe's connected to the five toe
And the five toe and away we go
 
I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a down home country song
'Cos when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off
With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong
 
Now the big toe's connected to the two toe
And the two toe's connected to the three toe
And the three toe's connected to the four toe
And the four toe's connected to the five toe
And the five toe and away we go
 
I wanna barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a barefoot ballad song.
 
 

Beach Boy Blues

 
(words & music by Sid Tepper - Roy Bennett)
 
I'm a poor Hawaiian beach boy
A long way from the beach
'Cause someone shoved his face against my hand
Now I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple
I'm in the can
 
I will mind in my own business
That drinking daddy's juice
I swear I'll never touch that stuff again
The krink appeared before he gave his all that aluhau
I'm in the pen
 
Got those beach boy blues
Don't the time go slow
Lonely beach boy blues
Only 30 day s and 90 years to go
 
I want a taste of honey
For am I raw in his lips
I want to be her ever loving man
But I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple
I'm in the can

Because of Love

 
(Words & music by Batchelor - Roberts)
 
Because of love, I'm a hundred feet tall
I can bounce this world like a little old ball
The heaven and earth are now all mine
I've jumped to the moon from cloud number nine
Because, because, because, because of love
 
Because of love, I'm a mighty big man
I hold the sun in the palm of my hand
Just one leap I can cross the seas
Jump over mountains and fly over trees
Because, because, because, because of love
 
Well I found love, I found love
That's all that I can say
Oh I'll never, never, I'll never, never
Never let it get away
 
Because of love, I'm the happiest guy
And life is sweet as cherry cream pie
Well heaven and earth are now all mine
I've jumped to the moon from cloud number nine
Because, because, because, because of love
Because, because, because, because of love
 
 

Beginner's Luck

 
(Words & music by Tepper - Bennett)
 
First time I fell in love
I fell in love with you
First time I dared to dream
My only dream came true
 
Must be beginner's luck
To wish upon a star
That opened up my eyes
And there you are
 
I wave no magic wand
I own no lucky charms
How then can I explain
An angel in my arms
Must be beginner's luck
What else can it be
When someone wonderful as you
Loves me
 
 

Beyond the Bend

 
(Words & music by Weisman - Wise -/ Fuller)
 
Breeze sing a happy song
This heart of mine is singing right along
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where it ends
Till the grass is greener, beyond the bend
 
I haven't got a care
I'm just on my way to anywhere
Pocketful of nothing, nothing I can spend
Hope the grass is greener, beyond the bend
 
Beyond the bend,
Perhaps there'll be somebody waiting who's right for me
So I got to move around
And I know I've got to cover ground
Oh the trip is shorter when you got a friend
Gotta find that rainbow beyond the bend
 
Beyond the bend, beyond the bend
 
 

Beyond the Reef

 
(Words & music by Jack Pitman)
 
Beyond the reef where the sea is dark and cold
My love has gone from me and my dreams grow cold
There'll be no tears, there'll be no regretting
Will she remember me, will she forget?
 
I'll send a thousand flowers
Where the trade winds blow
I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so
Some day I know, she'll come back again to me
Till then my heart will be beyond the reef
 
I'll send a thousand flowers
Where the trade winds blow
I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so
Some day I know, she'll come back again to me
Till then my heart will be beyond the reef
 
Till then my heart will be beyond the reef
 
 

Big Boots

They call your daddy Big Boots

Just like a kiddy can
So sleep little soldier
Don't you cry

Once wore little boots like you

Big Love, Big Heartache

 
(Words & music by Fuller - Morris - Hendrix)
 
Oh yes, I know it's true
The more you fall in love
The more your heart can break in two
Now that you've said goodbye
For every tender kiss
I've had the tears I cry
I gave my heart and soul
All the love I knew
Oh how much it hurts me now
To know that we are through
 
I'll always feel this way
My arms will be so empty
You'll return some day and say
Your love, yes your big love
Will be here to stay
Till then it's
 
Your love yes your big love
Will be here to stay
 
 

Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall

 
(Words & music by Larry Gatlin)
 
I told her to leave me alone
That's what she's done, just what she's done
And a house built for two, ain't a home
When it's lived in by one, one lonely one
 
And I can no longer hear footsteps, come right down the hall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
She caught me lying, then she caught a train
And I caught a fever walking home in the rain
Oh yeah!
But it's over and I'm done
She left me once and for all
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
 
 

Black Star

 
(Words & music by Wayne - Edwards)
 
Every man has a black star
A black star over his shoulder
And when a man sees his black star
He knows his time, his time has come
 
Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Black star
 
When I ride I feel that black star
That black star over my shoulder
So I ride in front of that black star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around
 
Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Black star
 
One fine day I'll see that black star
That black star over my shoulder
And when I see that old black star
I'll know my time, my time has come
 
Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Black star
 
 

Blessed Jesus Hold My Hand

 
(Traditional)
 
... mm, stepping through the sinking sand
To the cross of Calvary
Mm, let it be my prayer, dear Lord, each day
To help me do the best I can
For there is no friend on whom I can depend
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
 
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand ...
Oh, yes, I need Thee every hour
Through the this pilgrims land
Protect me by thy saving power
Please, hear my feeble plea
Oh, hoh, Lord, please, tell me
I kneel in prayer, I try to meet you there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand, hold my hand.
 
 

Blowin' in the Wind

 
(words & music by Bob Dylan)
 
How many roads must a man walk down,
Before you call him a man?
Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail,
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes and how many times must cannonballs fly,
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
 
How many times must a man look up,
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have,
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
 
How many years can a mountain exist,
Before it's washed to the seas (sea)
HOw many years can some people exist,
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head,
Pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
 
 

Blueberry Hill

 
(Words & music by Lewis - Stock - Rose)
 
I found my thrill on blueberry hill
On blueberry hill when I found you
The moon stood still on blueberry hill
And lingered until my dreams came true
 
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be
 
Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on blueberry hill
 
 

Blue Christmas

 
(words & music by Billy Hayes - Jay Johnson)
 
I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmastree
Won't mean a think if you're not here with me
 
I'll have a Blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
 
 
 

Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain

 
(Words & music by Fred Rose)
 
In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
 
Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
 
Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain
 
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
 
 
 

Blue Hawaii

 
(words & music by Leo Robin - Ralph Rainger)
 
Night and you
And blue Hawaii
The night is heavenly
And you are heaven to me
 
Lovely you
And blue Hawaii
With all this loveliness
There should be love
 
Come with me
While the moon is on the sea,
The night is young
And so are we, so are we
 
Dreams come true
In blue Hawaii
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you
 
 

Blue Moon

 
(words & music by R. Rodgers - L. Hart)
 
Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
 
Blue moon,
You knew just what I was there for.
You heard me saying a pray for
Someone I really could care for.
 
Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
 
Blue moon...
Without a love of my own.

Blue River

 
(Words & music by Evans - Tobias)
 
Blue river, it can't be found on any map that I know
But it's the place where lonely lovers all go
To cry their tears, blue river
It winds along a path of heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from lovin' someone in vain
Like I loved you, and baby I still do
 
I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I'm feelin' so low
But I gotta go
Blue river because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Cryin' over you, by the river of blue
 
 
 

Blue Suede Shoes

 
(words & music by Carl Perkins)
 
Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.
 
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.
 
Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.
 
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
 
Burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my cider
From my old fruitjar.
 
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Why don't you rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham

(words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
 
I said, 'Take it easy, baby
I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tails
Flyin' all over the place
And the sweat poppin' out of my head'
She said, 'Hey, Bossa nova, baby
Keep on a workin' child
This ain't no time to quit'
She said, 'Go, Bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin'
I'm about to have myself a fit'
Bossa nova, Bossa nova
 
I said, 'Hey little mama,
Let's sit down
Have a drink and dig the band'
She said, 'Drink, drink, drink
Oh, fiddle-de-dink
I can dance with a drink in my hand'
She said 'Hey Bossa nova, baby
Keep on workin' child
This ain't no time to drink'
She said 'Go, Bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin'
'Cause I ain't got time to think'
 
I said, 'Come on, baby
It's hot in here
And it's oh so cool outside
If you lend me a dollar
I can buy some gas
And we can go for a little ride'
She said, 'Hey Bossa nova, baby
Keep on workin' child
I ain't got time for that'
She said, 'Go Bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin'
Or I'll find myself another cat'
 
 

Bridge Over Troubled Water

 
(words & music by Paul Simon)
 
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your site, oh, When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
 
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down,
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
 
When you're down and out, when you're on the streets
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you
I'll take your part when the darkness falls and pain is all
around
 
Yes, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
 
Sail on, silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind
 
Yes, like a bridge over troubled water
I, I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will easy your mind
 
 
 

Bringin' It Back

 
(words & music by Greg Gordon)
 
If I can never see you, if I can never hold you
If I can never touch your face or feel your warm embrace
I still remember talkin', I still remember laughin'
I still remember lovin' you a lot and touchin' you
 
Only bringin' it back, only just bringin' it back
A familiar face, a familiar face just brings it all back
Everything's bringin' it back, good songs bringin' it back
Even after so much time, everything's bringin' it back
 
Thinkin' in my solitude, wonderin' about your attitude
Thinkin' maybe that your love has died
There it is, I can see it in your eyes
A look of sweet surrender, a touch of too much sadness
'Cause I've hurt you so, you know your sorrow shows
You just can't stay, but you can't let go
 
 
 

Britches

 
(Words & music by Wayne - Edwards)
 
Beware of a gal in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o
Never trust no gal in britches
No-di-o-di-o
If you had a sense of this here horse
You would have knowed by now of course
Who wears the britches is the boss
That's a gal, that's a gal in britches
 
Don't mess with a gal in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o
No feminine gal wears britches
No-di-o-di-o
She'll beg you to come to the country dance
You ride twenty miles for the big romance
She shows up in her brother's pants
What'd you expect from a girl in britches
 
Yo-di-o-di-o-i-ay, It's none of my misfortune
Yo-di-o-di-o-di-ay, Just thought you'd like to know
Don't marry no gal in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o
You'll never know which is which's
No-di-o-di-o
She'll put a halter through your nose
Have you cooking and washing clothes
While she goes chasing them buffaloes
Bet your boots, that's a gal in britches.
 
 

Burning Love

 
(words & music by Linde)
 
Lord Almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul
 
Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
 
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
 
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine
 
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love
 
It's coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please won't you help me
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
And my chest is a-heating
 
Lord Almighty,
I'm burning a hole where I lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
 
 

By and By

 
(Traditional - arranged by Elvis Presley)
 
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by
 
Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand
All the ways God will lead us
To the blessed promised land
He will guide us with his eye
And we'll follow till we die
And we'll understand him better by and by
 
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by
 
Temptation's hidden snares often take the sun away
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best
But we'll understand it better by and by
 
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by
 
And we'll understand him better by and by
