Moon River

Moon River wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh dream maker you're heart breaker wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world there's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's ends waiting round the bend
My Huckleberry friend Moon River and me
[ guitar ]
Two drifters off to see the world...

Moonlight Becomes You

Moonlight becomes you it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you and I'm thrilled at the sight
And we could get so romantic tonight
You're all dressed up to go dreaming now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming mind if I tag along
Moonlight becomes you and I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight although moonlight becomes you so
[ piano - guitar ]
Moonlight becomes you...

Moonlight In Vermont

Pennies in a stream
fallen leaves of sycamore
moonlight in Vermont

Icy fingers waves
ski trails on a mountain side
snow light in Vermont

Telegraph cables
they swing down the highway
and travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
are so hypnotized by the lovely

evening summer breeze
warbling of a meadow lark
moonlight in Vermont

[ harmonica ]

Telegraph cables
they swing down the highway
and travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
are so hypnotized by the lovely

evening summer breeze
warbling of a meadow lark
moonlight in Vermont
You and I and moonlight in Vermont.

More And More

More and more I'm forgetting the past more and more I'm living at last
Day by day I'm losing my blues more and more I'm forgettin' bout you
But oh how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried the day we said goodbye
Day by day I'm losing my blues more and more I'm forgettin' bout you
[ steel + fiddle ]
But oh how I tried...

Most Unoriginal Sin

What there was left of us was all covered in dust and thick skin
A half eaten apple or the whole Sistine Chapel painted on the head of a pin
A life long love's worth gone up in a smurk and you didn't even see her waltz in
Now this love is a ghost having played host to the most unoriginal sin

At the wedding we smiled as some devil played wild violin
Soon after the chapel she offered me that apple
One bite and I was gone with the wind
And you needed no proof cause the whole naked truth
Was wearin' only an infidel's grin
And a proud schoolboy's boast of having left his post for the most unoriginal sin
[ violin - guitar ]
Now the jukebox is humming all the venial shortcomings of men
Lord I found me this drink that can finally sink
All the skills that I've been wallowing in
Buddy once you get started once true love's departed you do it over and over again
So tonight I will toast just whoever comes close to the most unoriginal sin
So tonight I will toast just whoever comes close to the most unoriginal sin

Mountain Dew

Now there far from me there's an old holler tree
Where you lay down a dollar or two
You go round the bend and you come back again
With a jug of that good ole mountain dew
They call it that ole mountain dew Lord Lord and them that refuse it are few
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug with that good ole mountain dew

The preacher came by with his head high said hi said his wife took down with the flu
And he thought that we're hard just to give him a quart
Of that good old mountain dew
Well we call it that ole mountain dew...

[ac.guitar]

My uncle Mort he's sawed off and he's short he measures bout four foot two
But he thinks he's a giant when you give him a pint of that good old mountain dew
Well we call it that ole mountain dew...
Hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug with that good ole mountain dew

Mr. Record Man

Mr. Record Man I'm looking for a song I heard today
There was someone blue singing not someone who went away
Just like me his heart was yearning for a love that used to be
It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me
There was something bout a love that didn't treat him right
And he'd wake from troubled sleep and cry her name at night
Mr Record Man get this record for me won't you please
It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me

[piano]

I was driving down the highway with the radio turned on
And a man that I heard singing sound so blue and all alone
As I listen to his lonely song I wonder could it be
Could there somewhere be another lonely man like me
There was something bout a love...

My Baby's Gone

[Chorus:]
Hold back the rushing minutes
Make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine
Across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops
And hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone

The Milkman whistles softly
As he comes up to my door
Lyrics courtesy Top40db.
The Mailman brings the letters by
Just like he did before
They seem so busy all day long
As though there's nothing wrong,
Don't they know the world has ended
My baby's gone

[Chorus]

I wake up sometimes in the night
And realize you're gone
And then I toss upon my bed
And wait for day to come
I try to tell my lonely heart
It must go on alone
But it cries the world has ended
My baby's gone

My Broken Heart Belongs To You.

I lost my mind so long ago
I wanted everyone to know
I wanted everyone to see
My broken heart belong to me
I go beyond the thought of you
And a broken heart was nothing new
I wanted everyone to see
My broken heart belong to me
(Chorus)
And now as autumn fills the air
I feel your spirit every where
Now my fears are coming true
My broken heart belongs to you
And now as autumn fills the air
I feel your presence every where
Now my fears are coming true
My broken heart belongs to you
Now my fears are coming true
My broken heart belongs to you

My Bucket's Got A Hole In It

Well, I went upon a mountain, I looked down in the sea
I seen the crabs and the fishes doing the beebop beep
'Cause my bucket's got a hole in it, yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it, I can't buy no beer

[Chorus:]
Yeah! My bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah! My bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah! My bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, I'm standing on the corner with a bucket in my hand
I'm a-waiting for a woman that ain't got no man
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it, I can't buy no beer

[Chorus]

Well, there ain't no use for me a-working so hard
When I got a woman in the boss man's yard
'Cause my bucket's got a hole in it, yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it, I can't buy no beer

[Chorus]

Well, me and my baby, we just bought a Ford
And now we sit together on the running board
'Cause my bucket's got a hole in it, yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it, I can't buy no beer

[Chorus]
