STILL HURTIN' 

I'll tell you the reason I sit here a-greivin'
I want you to know one by one
I've been defeated by someone who cheated
My heart out of all of it's fun.

Happy we could be if you had stayed with me
But you wouldn't see it my way
But I'm still a-hurtin' and I know for certain
I'll even with you day by day.

--- Instrumental ---

There's no use denying, you know you were lying
You wouldn't admit it was true
But soon you'll be paying for things you've been saying
That made me defeated by you.

Happy we could be if you had stayed with me
But you wouldn't see it my way
I'm still a-hurtin' and I know for certain
I'll even with you day by day...

STRANGER'S ME 

There's a story spreading 'round 'bout a stranger in
our town
And the people say he's weird as he can be
Big sunglasses, a big black hat, they all say, say
who's that
Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me.

Oh, I will die if they find out I'm the fool they
laughed about
After all the times they warned me she would break my
heart and leave
I've been living in disguise hiding from her shameful
lies
Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me.

--- Instrumental ---

Changed the style of clothes I wear, changed the way I
combed my hair
Friends are pointin' finger asking who is he.
My ols self ain't been the same since my babe has
brought me shame
Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me.

Oh, I will die if they'd find out I'm the fool they
laughed about
After all the times they warned me she would break my
heart and leave
I've been living in disguise hiding from her shameful
lies
Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me.

Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me...

STRANGERS 

All the love you promised would be mine forever.
I would have bet my bottom dollar on.
Well, it sure turned out to be a short forever.
Just once I turned my back and you were gone.

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers.
I'm all through ever trusting anyone.
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers.
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone.

--- Instrumental ---

It amazes me not knowing any better.
Than to think I found a love that should be true.
Oh, I should be taken out and tarred and feathered.
Than to let myself be taken in by you.

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers.
I'm all through ever trusting anyone.
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers.
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone...

SUPPOSE TONIGHT WOULD BE OUR LAST 

Suppose tonight would be our last night together
And the love we have known came to an end
Would we laugh and tell ourselves think nothing of it
Or would we cry together for what might have been
I know I'd die in just a little while without you
Another dawn I wouldn't want to see
If you're supposed tonight would be our last together
Oh what a long and lonely night it would be
I couldn't live long without your arms around me
Too soon the blues would come moving in on me
If you suppose tonight would be our last together
With you tonight would be the last night for me
I know I'd die in just a little while...

SWEET DREAMS 

Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you.

You don't love me it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my ring
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you.

--- Instrumental ---

Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you...

SWEET THANG 

Well I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washing her hair
 And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come a lookin' for me
 When she finds that I'm not there
 And if she catches her sweet thang a running around
 I know there'll be the debit to pay
 She'll come blowin' like a cyclone through that door
 And I can hear exactly what she'll say
 Well has anybody here seen SWEET THANG I got a notion he'll be HEADED THIS-A way
 Cause when my sweet thang IS out tomocattin' around
 He finds a sandbox like this to play
 I wanna tell all you barroom roses IF my sweet thang does HAPPEN BY
 You'd better take my advice AND IF YOU blink more than twice
 You'd better have something in your eyes
 [ guitar ]
 Well I gave my baby money on payday except a little she don't know that I've got
 Cause there's a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe
 And she seems to like me quite a lot
 Well we were sittin' in this back booth a havin' a talk
 And she's believed in every word that I said
 When the door blew open and mama walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead
 Well has anybody here seen sweet thang I got a notion he'll be headed this-a way
 Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around
 He finds a sandbox like this to play
 I wanna tell all you cafe cuties if my sweet thang should have a bite
 You'd better take mom's advice if you'll blink more than twice
 You'd better have something in your eyes
 You take all mom's advice if you'll blink more than twice
 You'd better have something in your eyes

SWEETER THAN THE FLOWERS 

(Both)
Just as far as I can remember
She'll remain the rose of my heart
Mom took sick along in December
February brought us broken hearts.

(George)
The reason we've not called the family reunion
We knew that she wouldn't be there
But since we've thought it all over, mama
We know that your spirit is there.

(Both)
No, no, I can't forget the hours
You're the onliest one mom
And sweeter than the flowers
No, no, there's no need to bother
It's because you now
Would only hurt father.

--- Instrumental ---

It looks so good to see us together
But I had to look after dad
Oh mama, when I passed by your coffin
I didn't want to remember you dead.

(Gene)
They all gathered round I stared at their faces
All heads were bowed mighty low
But that was one time we all had to face it
It hurt us so bad you know.

(Both)
No, no, I can't forget the hours
You're the onliest one mom
And sweeter than the flowers
No no there's no need to bother
It's because you now
Would only hurt father.

Oh no momma we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there...

SWING LOW SWEET CHARIOT 

Well now I looked over Jordan and what did I see comin' for to carry me home
There was a band of angels a comin' after me comin' for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot comin' for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot comin' for to carry me home
Well I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down comin' for to carry me home
But I know my soul is heavenly bound comin' for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot...
Well now if you get there before I do comin' for to carry me home
Tell all of my friends that I'm a comin' too comin' for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot...
Well now they're comin' for to carry me home

SWINGING DOORS 

This old smoke filled bar is something I'm not used to,
I gave up my home to see you satisfied;
I just called to let you know where I'll be living,
It's not much but I feel welcome here, inside.

I've got swinging doors, a jukebox and a barstool,
My new home has a flashing neon sign;
Stop by and see me anytime you want to,
'Cause, I'm always here, at home, 'til closing time.

--- Instrumental ---

I've got everything it takes to drive me crazy,
And I've got everything it takes to lose my mind;
And in here the atmosphere's just right for heartaches,
Thanks to you I'm always here, 'til closing time.

I've got swinging doors, a jukebox and a barstool,
My new home has a flashing neon sign;
Stop by and see me anytime you want to.
'Cause I'm always here at home, 'til closing time...

TAGGIN' ALONG 

Well, I'm a-gonna tag along with Jesus
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along
Well, if I see that's heaven's story
Ain't nothin' ever a-go wrong.

Ah, when the saint goes marchin' in there
Do not might tell me I'm wrong
For by the help and the grace of God
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along.

Well, I may not be able to preach
And I may not be able to sing
I may not be able to do very much
For my Lord and King.

But if this one thing I'm persuaded
Oh, do not tell me I'm wrong
For by the help and the grace of God
I'm gonna keep a-taggin' along.

Yeah, I'm a-gonna tag along with Jesus
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along
If I keep a-tellin' the story
Ain't nothin' gonna ever go wrong.

'Cause, when the saint goes marchin' in there
Do not tell me I'm wrong
For by the help and the grace of God
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along.

Although the path grows rugged
And although the path grows steep
I keep a-trusting in my savior
Who is so mighty that he.

And when the saints go marchin' in there
I'll sing a victory song
Yes, by the help and the grace of God
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along.

Yeah, I'm a-gonna tag along with Jesus
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along
If I keep on a-tellin' the story
Ain't nothin' ever gonna ever go wrong.

And, when the saint goes marchin' in there
Do not tell me I'm wrong
For by the help and the grace of God
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, when I reach my home in Heaven
The sweet land above
I'm gonna sing redemptions story
I'm gonna praise Him for His love,

And when the saints go marchin' in there
Do you dare tell me I'm wrong
For by the help and the grace of God
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along.

Yeah, I'm a-gonna tag along with Jesus
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along
Well, if I keep a-tellin' the story
Ain't nothin' gonna ever go wrong

'Cause, when the saint goes marchin' in there
Do not tell me I'm wrong
For by the help and the grace of God
I'm a-gonna keep a-taggin' along...
