RUN 'EM OFF 

Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house
And Little Red Riding Hood was scared as a mouse
Well, just like her I'm scared through and through
That some two-legged wolf'll run away with you

So run 'em off
No use to talkin all day
Run 'em off
Their tryin' to get you to play
Run 'em off
A make 'em let us be
Now if you don't run 'em off
I'll swear your cheatin' on me

Now there's an iceman, a milkman, and folks out of town
They come to visit they just hang around
They act just as friendly as can be
But I don't think they care a thing about me

So run 'em off
Don't talk too long
Run 'em off
So we can be alone
Run 'em off
And make 'em let us be
Now if you don't run 'em off
I'll swear your cheatin' on me

Now once I ended this song but I can write some more
There's half a dozen wolves a-comin' up to my door
I can tell by lookin' it's plain to see
They're not here, darlin', makin' lies at me

So run 'em off
Don't want 'em around
Run 'em off
You'll be the talk of the town
Run 'em off
And make 'em let us be
Well if you don't run 'em off
I'll swear your cheatin' on me

RUN BOY 

Well, you and your true love have parted
And you left her all alone
Don't tell the kids until it's to late
Just say that the fault was your own.

Run boy as fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you
Tell her you're sorry that you had to part
And don't break her heart in two.

She needs your love now more than ever
For she's all alone and blue
Don't fill her life with sorry and strife
Go Back and start over anew.

Run boy as fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you
Tell her you're sorry you had to part
And don't break her heart in two.

--- Instrumental ---

Go back in that church, she'll forgive you
For doubting her love was true
Don't be ashamed to say your to blame
Her arms are still yearning for you.

Run boy as fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you
Tell her you're sorry you had to part
And don't break her heart in two...

RUNNING BEAR 

On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young
Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian
maid
Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to
see
But their tribes fought with each other, so their love
could never be.

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die.

He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was
too wide
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove waiting there
on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses
'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster waiting for her
Indian brave.

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die.

Running Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove did
the same
And they swam out to each other through the swirling
stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met, the raging
river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together in their happy hunting
ground.

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die...

SAGINAW MICHIGAN 

I was born in Saginaw, Michigan
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
My dad was a poor, hard-working Saginaw fisherman
Too many times he came home with too little pay.

I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
And he said I wasn't good enough to claim his
daughter's hand.

That's why I'm up here in Alaska looking around for
gold
Like a crazy fool I'm digging in this frozen ground so
cold
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and
then
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw,
Michigan.

I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan
I said honey, I'm coming home please wait for me
And you can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man
I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history.

Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan
He gave me a great big party with champagne
Then he said son you're a wise, young, ambitious man
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim.

So now he's up there in Alaska diggin' in the cold,
cold ground
The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found
And it serves him right and no one here is missing him
Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan.

Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan...

SAME OLD BOAT 

Well, she's got me over deep waters
She's got me out on a limb
She's sawed it out from under me
And I ain't even learned to swim.

I keep a-scrathing at the muddy bank
But all I do is slide
I keep a-begging of her to love me
But just to be denied.

Well, somerbodies gonna get wet
Somebodies gonna drown
It looks to me like if this will be
My third time down.

Well she wanted me to take her boatin'
She just wants to paddle around
And her I am twenty miles from shore
And she throwed my paddler down

She pulled my cork from the boat
And here I'm a-sinking fast
If someone won't come rescue me
I don't know how long I'll last.

'Cause, somerbodies gonna get wet
Somebodies gonna drown
It looks to me like this will be
My third time down.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, she wanted me to take her a-wadin'
She just wants to wet her feet
But here I am up to my neck
In the middle of the famous old creek.

I keep a-scrathing at the muddy bank
But all I do is slide
I keep a-begging for her to love me
But just to be denied.

So, somerbodies gonna get wet
Somebodies gonna drown
It looks to me like if this will be
My third time down...

SAME OLD ME 

With time my face has wrinkled
but my blue eyes still sparkle
With the love I felt for you
the day we met

To me you're just as lovely
as the first time I saw you
Times have changed
but our hearts haven't yet

I'm still the same ole me
loving the same sweet you
time hasn't withered our hearts
And when our days are through
I'll still be loving you
even death can't keep us apart

These hands that once were steady
have now begun to tremble
But when they touch you
the same old feeling's there
But your smile is still as special
as it was the day we married
Years haven't changed the love we share
If I go before you to my home on high

I'm still the same ole me
loving the same sweet you
time hasn't withered our hearts
And when our days are through
I'll still be loving you
even death can't keep us apart

I'm still the same ole me
loving the same sweet you

SAN ANTONIO ROSE 

Spoken intro:
Hi, neighbors, this is our new album
And we've chosen songs from the great Bob Wills
Who is a legend
As far as we in the business are concerned
And I know, people across the United States
You know, we finally call him the "Old Man"
Because to us, that's just what he is
You'll always know him by the lonesome fiddle
The white hat, the high-heeled boots
The cigar smoke, and some of these wonderful songs
We hope you like our version of 'em
As we pay tribute to one of the greatest of all time Bob Wills

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone

It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit path that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love

Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love, my own

Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
And that moonlit pass BY the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
(Repeat last two verses)

SATISFIED MIND 

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
Once I was waiting in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it happened I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
When my life's ended and my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt
But one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

SAY IT'S NOT YOU 

Darling there's talk around town bout a girl who spreads love around
With soft lips and eyes crystal blue darling please say it's not you
They say that she comes in alone and stays till self respect is gone
And each night she leaves with someone new darling say it's not you
Then at first what they said didn't hurt me until they mentioned her name
Then slowly the tears overtook me her name and yours is the same
Each night till the breaking of dawn I'm prayin' that you're not the one
Tell me lies but say it's not true darling say it's not you
Darling say it's not you

SEA BETWEEN OUR HEARTS 

There's a sea between our hearts where the waves are cold and dark
And the undertow of loneliness gets strong
My heart's caught in the tide of a love that you've denide
For you're colder than this sea we're drifting on.

The sea between our hearts is dark and stormy
And the harbor of your love is the only haven for me
If I only had a chart to guide me to your heart
I'd anchor there and sail the sea no more.

--- Instrumental ---

There's a shore of happiness that somehow we have missed
And now you've drifted off to someone new
But I haunt the lonely sea with a crew of memories
For the compass of my heart still points to you.

The sea between our hearts is dark and stormy
And the harbor of your love is the only haven for me
If I only had a chart to guide me to your heart
I'd anchor there and sail the sea no more...
