Ole Buttermilk Sky

Ole buttermilk sky
I'm keepin' my eye peeled on you
What's the good word tonight
are you gonna be mellow tonight?

Ole buttermilk sky
can't you see my little donkey and me
We're as happy as a Christmas tree
headed for the one I love

I'm gonna pop her the question that question
do you Darling do you do?
It'll be easy so easy
if I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky
I'm tellin' you why now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
keep brushin' those clouds from sight

Ole buttermilk sky
don'cha fail me when I'm needin' you most
Hang a moon above her hitchin' post
and hitch me to the one I love

You can if you try
don't tell me no lie
Will you be mellow and bright tonight

Ole buttermilk sky don'cha fail me...

Will you be mellow and bright tonight

On The Road Again

Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again

Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On The Street Where You Live

I have often walked down the street before
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before

All at once am I
Several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live

Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?

Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live

And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear

People stop and stare
They don't bother me
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be

Let the time go by
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live

People stop and stare
They don't bother me
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be

Let the time go by
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live
Let me be on the street where you live

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Grab your coat and get your hat leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid this rover crossed over
If I never have a cent I'll be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street
[ piano - harmonica ]
I used to walk in the shade...

Once Alone

I'm so tired of all this trouble now aren't you
We've tried and failed to make our dreams come true
It seems that we had dream worlds all our own
So don't you think that we should try it once alone
Life's too short to spend it feeling blue
And it's not too late our dreams could still come true
But before our chance for happiness is gone
Don't you think that we should try it once alone
It's not your fault and neither is it mine
It seems that we're just victims of the times
It's not that I don't love you cause I do
But love alone can't make a dream come true
I suppose that we'll survive the parting tears
We've survived so many others through the years
But before our chance for happiness is gone
Don't you think that we should try it once alone

Once In A While

Once in a while will you try to give one little thought
to me
Though someone else maybe nearer your heart
Once in a while will you dream of the moments I shared
with you,
Moments before we two drifted apart.
In love's smoldering ember, one spark may remain,
If love still can remember the spark may burn again.
I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me once in a while.

Once More With Feeling

Once more with feeling once more with feeling
Won't you hold me till the night fades into day
Once more with feeling once more with feeling
Hold me close don't let this feeling go away

Sometimes myself runs back to you
I just can't tell me what to do
But I remember when all wrapped up tight within
The shelter of my arms you used to stay
Once more with feeling...
Once more with feeling...

One Day At A Time

I live one day at a time I dream one dream at a time
Yeasterday's dead and tomorrow is blind and I live one
day at a time
Guess that's your surprise to see me back at home
But you know how much I miss you when I'm gone
Don't ask how long I planned to stay it never crossed my
mind I live one day at a time
See that sparrow fly across the cloudy sky searching for
a hatch of sunlight so am I
Wish I didn't have to follow and perhaps I want in time I
live one day at a time
I live one day at a time...
I live one day at a time

One For My Baby And One For The Road

It's quarter to three there's no one in the place except you and me
So set 'em up Joe I've got a little story you oughta know
We're drinking my friend to the end of a brief episode
Just give me one for my baby and one more for the road

I've got the routine so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad
I could tell you a lot but you've got to be true to your code
So give me one for my baby and one more for the road
Just give me one for my baby and one more for the road

One Has My Name (the Other Has My Heart)

One has my name and the other has my heart
With one I'll remain
That's when my heartaches start
One has brown eyes and the other's eyes're blue
To one I am tied
To the other I am true
One has my love and the other only me
But what good is love
To a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living
My life's just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name

[steel - guitar]

One has my love and the other only me
But what good is love
To a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living
My life's just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name
