ARE YOU MINE 

Are you mine all life through
Will you kiss me when I'm blue
Will you whisper I love you
And make all my dreams come true.

Will you share the good and bad
Bring me joy when I am sad
Tell me darling are you mine
And only mine?

Are you mine? (yes I am.)
All the time? (yes I am.)
Mine alone? (yes sirree.)
All my own? (yes sirree.)

No one else will ever do
I'll be yours and I'll be true
Don't worry dear have no fear
'Cause I'm yours.

Are you mine, tell me dear
Will I always have you near
Will the love light always shine
In your heart just like in mine.

Will you give as well as take
Keep the vows that you will make
Tell me darling are you mine
And only mine?

Are you mine? (yes I am.)
All the time? (yes I am.)
Mine alone? (yes sirree.)
All my own? (yes sirree.)

--- Instrumental ---

Are you mine rich or poor
Tell me darling are you sure
Will you whisper yes I do
And forever love me true?

Will you honor and obey
Will you promise not to stray
Tell me darling are you mine
And only mine?

Are you mine? (yes I am.)
All the time? (yes I am.)
Mine alone? (yes sirree.)
All my own? (yes sirree.)

Don't worry dear have no fear
'Cause I'm yours...

AROUND HERE 

Well, I couldn't help but overhear you talkin' to Mary Lou
And when she shot you down I knew that something was wrong with you
You're leaving Mississippi and your fast talking just won't go
If you wanna win her love you gotta take it nice and slow.

You gotta say yes ma'am, no ma'am, treat her like a lady
And open up the door for her take a little time
Well, get to know her better before you can try to hold her near
Be polite, ask her just right, if you want to get lucky on a Saturday night
'Cause that's the thing to do, around here.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I hate to tell you buddy but you're going about this all wrong
Go trade your suit to jeans and boots and put an old Stettson on
Give a little wink and a smile when you tip your hat
And you're only a few steps away from a girl like that.

You gotta say yes ma'am, no ma'am, treat her like a lady
And open up the door for her take a little time
Well, get to know her better before you can try to hold her near
Be polite, ask her just right, if you want to get lucky on a Saturday night
'Cause that's the thing to do, around here.

--- Instrumental ---

Now if I was up in New York city
I hope you do the same for me
So listen up friend I'll tell you again
You're down here where we say.

Yes ma'am, no ma'am, treat her like a lady
And open up the door for her take a little time
Well, get to know her better before you can try to hold her near
Be polite, ask her just right, if you want to get lucky on a Saturday night
'Cause that's the thing to do, around here...

--- Instrumental to fade ---

AS OF NOW 

As of now I'm starting my life over
You're gonna see a great change in me
Those dark clouds overhead are hangin' by a thread
And soon they'll break and fall, just wait and see.

As of now I'm looking for a new love
One I can always depend upon
Remember what I say I'll have a better day
Like the ones I had before you came along.

As of now I'm gaining back my pride
Soon I'll have a new love by my side
One I can rely on to be true
And hope he don't turn out to be like you...

--- Instrumental ---

As of now I'm gonna be a new girl
You'll see a change in me ole lover boy
And you won't know me then you'll just remember when
You used me in a game just like a toy.

As of now I'm stopping all my weepin'
I'm tired of feelin' sorry for myself
It's time I had some fun, it's over and it's done
Now I'll go celebrate because you left.

As of now I'm gaining back my pride
Soon I'll have a new love by my side
One I can rely on to be true
And hope he don't turn out to be like you.

And hope he don't turn out to be like you.

BABY AIN'T THAT FINE 

I'm gonna be your baby
And I'm gonna be your guy
We're gonna cook some lovin'
It's gonna sizzle and fry
Baby, ain't that fine
Baby, ain't that fine?

I'm gonna give you lovin'
And I'll say take your time
We'll be rockin' and swingin'
Higher than a Georgia pine
Baby, ain't that fine
Baby, ain't that fine?

I get a little bitty tingle
Up and down my spine
My head gets dizzy
Everytime you say you're mine.

The birds are gonna be singin',
The bells are gonna chime
We're gonna love each other
And the sun is gonna shine
Baby, ain't that fine
Baby, ain't that fine?

I get a little bitty tingle
Up and down my spine
My head gets dizzy
Everytime you say you're mine.

The birds are gonna be singin',
The bells are gonna chime
We're gonna love each other
And the sun is gonna shine
Baby, ain't that fine
Baby, ain't that fine?

Baby, ain't that fine.
Baby, ain't that fine?

BABY THERE'S NOTHING LIKE YOU 

I've crossed the high and mighty creek
That spans the San Farcisco Bay
Saw the sun set in the west
In an non forgetful way
Sailed the white Pacific Ocean
While it was in it''s darkest blue
But they still have nothing like you.

I've seen the bright lights of broadway
In old New York town
Saw a star light up the night
As it came tumblin' down
And the great Niagra Falls
Well I've seen them too
Ah, but baby, there's nothin' like you.

I've seen the winter day turn warm
And the roses start to bud
Saw the risin' of the moon
Through a cloud red as blood
Saw a rainbow of all colors
When the storm and rain was through.
Ah, but baby there's nothin' like you.

Yes I've been most everywhere
Done everthing there is to do
Ah, but baby, there's nothin' like you...

BABY YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES 

Well it takes more than a robin to make the winter go
And it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow
Well it takes two hearts a cookin' to make a fire grow
And baby you've got what it takes
You know it takes a lot of kissin' to make a romance bloom
Yeah yeah it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life complete
Yeah it takes a lot of woman to knock me off of my feet
And baby you've got what it takes
Yeah I said mm mm mm ah ah mm mm mm
You know honey you've got just what it takes

It takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it'd take more than a lifetime yeah to prove that I'll be true
Well it takes somebody special to make me say I do
And baby you've got what it takes
C'mon now ah ah mm mm mm ah ah mm mm mm
You know honey you've got just what it takes
Because it takes more than an effort...
And baby you've got what it takes

BACK DOWN TO HUNG UP ON YOU 

Oh I've come to the point where I've had one too many
And one short of having too few
Oh my bottle of freedom is one drink from empty
And I'm back down to hung up on you
I come here to escape and some say too often
But not as much as I would like to
Cause as high as I get is how low I'll be fallin'
Oh back down to hung up on you
Feeling nothing at all for awhile sure feels better
Than the hurtin' you're puttin' me through
But as sure as I am of the sunrise tomorrow
I'll be back down to hung up on you
[ steel ]
Feeling nothing at all...
Yes as sure as I am of the sunrise tomorrow
I'll be back down to hung up on you

BACK IN MY BABY'S ARMS AGAIN 

The honey bees are gonna be hummin'
Guitar strings are gonna be strummin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
Happy wheels are gonna be turnin'
Flames of love are gonna be burnin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

(Chorus)
No more tears are gonna be fallin'
I done heard my true love callin'
Open arms are waitin' yonder 'round the bend
Rivers of honey are gonna be flowin'
Big sweet flowers are gonna be growin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

The voice of love is gonna be talkin'
Hand in hand we're gonna be walkin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
Big ol' swings are gonna be swingin'
Water springs are gonna be springin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh, honey
Back in my baby's arms again

BARBARA JOY 

Will you be there in the courtyard for the joy
Will your honor be avenged with justice done
When they cover my head over for the joy
Will you hide your face in shame for what you've done?

You were alway wild and reckless, Barbara dear
But I worshiped you, my love was like a fire
And your wedding was the high spot of the whole year
But your marriage left so much to be desired.

Saying that you are were willing Barbara Joy
The face you're showing gives away your sin
All your hopes of money can't retore your pride
Maybe you were willin', don't let me die.

When the phone rang in the middle of the night
Your tender voice was shaking with alarm
So without a thought I hurried to your side
Always seeking to protect you from all harm.

You threw your arms around me, it was like a dream
And what we knew was bound to happen, did
Then the doorway framed your husband and I heard you scream
Unless you speak tomorrow I'll be dead.

Saying that you are were willing Barbara Joy
The face you're showing gives away your sin
All your hopes of money can't retore your pride
Maybe you were willin', don't let me die.

BARTENDER'S BLUES 

Well I'm just a bartender
And I don't like my work
But I don't mind the money at all
I've seen lots of sad faces
And lots of bad cases
Of folks with their backs to the wall


(chorus)

But I got four walls around me, to hold my life
To keep me from going astray
And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight
To keep me from slipping away


(As first verse)


Well I can light up your smokes
I can laugh at your jokes
I can watch you fall down on your knees
I can close down this bar
Oh and gas up my car
And I can pack up and mail in my keys


But I need four walls around me
To hold my life
To keep me from going astray
And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight
And keep me from slipping away


Now the smoke fills the air
Of this honky tonk bar
And I'm thinkin' bout where I'd rather be
But I burned all my bridges
And I sunk all my ships
And I'm standing at the edge of the sea

I still need four walls etc.
