    COUNTRY

    THE TWIST N SHOUTMary Chapin Carpenter

    (Chorus)Saturday night and the moon is out.I wanna head on bold and do the Twist N Shout.Find a two-step partner and the Cajun beat.When The Dix pick up I'm gonna find my feetout in the middle of a big dance floor.When I get that fiddle wanna beg for more.Wanna dance to a band from the Louisiane tonight.(Chorus End)

    Well, I'd never really wandereddown to New Orleans, never hadtripped it down the bayou streambut I heard that music on the radioand I swore someday I was gonna godown highway 10, that's to Lafayette.

    That's a beacon of illusion I won't forgetbut I'll send you a card with my regretscause I'm never gonna come back home.

    *

    They got an aligator stew and a crawfish pie,

    a gulf storm blowing in the town tonight.Living on the daunted quiet shorethey have hurricane parties every time it goes,but here I am in the cold cold rainand there ain't no cure for my blues today

    except when the paper says"Bozulet is coming to town"

    and baby let's go down.

    *

    Bring your mama,bring your papa,bring your sister too.They've got lots of music and lots of room.When they play you a waltz from the 1910'syou're gonna feel a bit young again.When you learn to dance with your rock and rolland you learn to swing at the do si do.

    But you learn to love at the break of dawnwhen you hear a little jaune le blanc.

    Seems everything I buy these dayshas got a foreign namefrom the kind of car I driveto my video games.

    I've got a nighttime camera,a Sony color TVbut the one that I love from the USAis standing next to me.

    ChorusMy baby is American made.Born and bred in the USA.From her silky long hair

    to her sexy long legs,my baby is American made.Chorus

    She looks good in her tight-endjeans she bought in Mexicoand she loves wearing her

    french perfume everywhere we go,but when it comes to her loving heartone thing is true. My baby is genuine USARed, White and Blue!

    SONG OF THE SOUTHAlabama

    ChorusSong of The South,

    Sweet Potato pie and I shut my mouth.Gone Gone with the wind

    there ain't nobody looking back again.Chorus

    Cotton on the roadsideCotton in the ditchwe all picked up the cottonbut we never got rich.Daddy was a-bred for a Southern-born DemocratThey all should get a rich man to vote like that.

    *

    Well, somebody told us Wall Street fellbut we was so poor that we couldn't tell.

    The cotton was short and the weeds were tallbut Mr. Roosevelt was gonna save us all.

    I hear her voicein the morning hourshe calls me.Radio reminds me

    of my home faraway.Driving down the road I get a feelingthat I shoulda been home yesterday.Yesterday!

    * *

    Take me home down country roads!Take me home down country roads!

    FOREVER AMENRandy Travis

    You may think that I'm talking foolish.You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free.You may wonder how I can promise you now

    this love that I feel for you always will be.

    But you're not just time that I'm killingI'm no longer one of those guysas long as I live this love that I giveis gonna be yours until the day that I die.

    (Chorus)Oh baby.I'm gonna love you foreverforever and ever amen.As long as old men sit and talk about the weather.

    as long as old women sit and talk about old men.(Chorus End)

    If you wonder how long I'll be faithfulI'll be happy to tell you again.I'm gonna love you forever and ever.Forever and ever. Amen.

    They say time takes its toll on the body,makes the young girl's brown hair turn gray,But honey I don't care I ain't in love with your hairand if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway.

    They say time can play tricks on the memory

    makes people forget things they knew.but it's easy to see that it's happening to me

    I've already forgotten every woman but you.

    *

    If you wonder how long I'll be faithfuljust listen to how this song ends.

    EL PASOMarty Robins

    Out in the west Texas town of El PasoI fell in love with a Mexican girl.

    Night time would find me in Rose's Cantinamusic would play and Felina would whirl.

    Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,wicked and evil while casting a spell.My love was deep for this Mexican maidenI was in love but in vain I could tell.

    One night a wild young cowboy came inwild as the west Texas wind.Dashing and daringthe drink he was sharingwith wicked Felina the girl that I loved.

    So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maidendown went his hand for the gun that he wore.My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeatthe handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.

    Just for a moment I stood there in silencedeeply astounded by the evil foul deed I had done.

    Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood thereI had the one chance and that was to run.

    Out through the backdoor of Rose's I ranout where the horses were tied.I caught a good one, it looked like it could runupon its back and away I did ridejust as fast as I couldfrom the west Texas town of El Pasoout to the badlands of New Mexico.

    Back in El Paso my life could be worthless

    Everything's going like nothing is left.It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

    my love is stronger than my fear of death.

    I saddled up and away I did goriding along in the dark.Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find metonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart

    and at last here I am over hill overlooking El PasoI can see Rose's Cantina below.

    My love is strong and it pushes me onward

    down off the hill to Felina I go.Off to my right I see five mounted cowboysoff to my left ride a dozen new more.

    Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch meI have to make it through Rose's backdoor.Something is dreadfully wrong for I feela deep burning pain in my side.

    Though I am trying to stay in the saddle

    I'm getting weary unable to ride.but my love for Felina is strongand I rise though I'm falling.Even though I'm weary I can't stop to rest.

    I see the white smoke that comes from the rifleI feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

    From out of nowhere Felina has found mekissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.

    Cradled by two loving arms that I'd die for,One little kiss and Felina good bye.

    BEAUTIFUL YOUThe Oakridge Boys

    Please don't cry! Oh my!You're so blue.

    But I'm here to help youbeautiful you.

    You need someoneto give you a love that's true,but I'm here to help you,beautiful you.

    Beautiful you.You'll need a man someday.Beautiful you.You know I'll need to stay.

    Days go by. Oh my!

    What will you do?Take me to help you,

    beautiful you.

    Beautiful you.I'll never let you go.Beautiful you.Our love is all we got.

    BETTER MANClint Black

    What do you say when it's overdon't know if facts say anything at all?One day we're rolling in the clovernext thing we know we take the fall.

    Still I think about the years in sight I've met youand the way it might've been without you here.I don't know what's the thing that still upsets youbut I think that's what's made this memory stand clear.

    (Chorus)

    I know I'm leaving here a better man,knowing you this way.Things I couldn't do before now I think I canand I'm leaving here a better man.(Chorus End)

    Guess I always knew I couldn't hold you

    but I'd never be the one to set you free.Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told youyou still believe that some are meant to be.

    KISS AN ANGEL GOOD MORNING

    Charley Pride

    Whenever I get to meetsome friends down the streetthey wonder how a mancan be this way.

    I've always got a smiling faceanytime and any placeand every time they ask me whyI just smile and say:

    ChorusYou gotta kiss an angel good morning

    and let her think you think about her when you're gone.Kiss an angel good morningand love her like the devil when you get back home.

    Chorus

    Though people may try to guess

    The secret that I'm speaking ofis a woman and a man in loveand the answer is in this songthat I always sing.

    BANDY THE RODEO CLOWNMoe Bandy

    Who was once a bullhooking son of a gun?Now who keeps a pike behind shoe number one?Who was riding high till a pretty girl rode him to the ground?Any kid knows where to find me I'm Bandy The Rodeo Clown.

    In the riding and the roping I was closing in on number one.

    Now in dreams at night I ride on that silver saddle I never won.Since you left me the whiskey takes me to the rodeo groundwhere the cowboys think I'm handy. I'm Bandy The Rodeo Clown.

    ChorusI could ride'em all. The bulls and broncs knew I was boss.but the ride that woman took me on

    broke a whole lot more than this old cowboy's bones.Now the tears on my make-up melt my painted smile into a frown.The crowd thinks I'm a dandy. I'm Bandy The Rodeo Clown.

    (twice)

    HEAVEN'S JUST A SIN AWAYAlison Krauss and The Union Station

    ChorusHeaven's just a sin away.Ohhhhhh just a sin away.{I can't wait another day}1{Heaven help me when I say}2I think I'm giving in.Chorus

    How I love to hold you tight

    and be with you tonight.but that still won't make it right

    cause I belong to me.

    Way down deep insideI know that it's all wrong.Your eyes keep tempting me

    PANCHO AND LEFTYWillie Nelson & Merle Haggard

    Living on the road, my friend,

    was gonna keep you clean and freebut now you wear your skin like ironand your breath is hard like kerosene.

    Weren't your mama's only boy?The favorite one it seems.She began to cry

    when you said good byesaddled to your dreams.

    Pancho was a bandit boyand sank into your dreamshe wore a gun outside his pantsfor all the honest world to feel.

    But Pancho met his match, you know,in the deserts down in Mexico.Nobody heard his dying wordsbut that's the way it goes.

    All the federales said is

    they could've had him anydayThey only let him slip awayout of kindness I suppose.

    Lefty he can sing the bluesall night long like he used to.but what happened to Pancho down Southended up in lefty's mouth.

    The day they laid poor Pancho lowLefty split for Ohiowhere he got the breath to go

    that ain't nobody knows.

    *

    The poets tell how Pancho felland left his living in cheap hotel.The desert's clean and Cleveland's coldso the story ends we're told.

    and now he's growin' old.

    A few gray fedrales saythey could've had him anydaythey only let him go so longout of kindness I suppose.

    IS ANYBODY GOING TO SAN ANTONE?Charley Pride

    Rain dripping off the brim of hatit's surely cold today.Here I am walking down 66

    wish she had known way back then.

    Sleeping under a table down a roadside parka man could wake up deadbut it sure seems warmer than it didback in our king-sized bed.

    Chorus

    Is anybody going to San Antoneor Phoenix, Arizona?Any place is alright as long as I

    can forget I've ever known her.

    Chorus

    Rain dripping down the neck of my shirtbut I ain't got nothing on.but I'd rather fight the wind and rainthan what I've been fighting at home.

    Now suddenly comes a truck with the U.S. mail.People writing letters at home.Tomorrow she'll probably want me backbut I'll be just as gone.

    THE CAROLL COUNTY ACCIDENT

    Caroll County's pointed out as kind of square.The biggest thing that happens is the County Fair.I guess that's why it seemed like such a big eventwhat we all call the Caroll County accident.

    The wreck was on the highway just inside the line,Walter Browning lost his life and poor old Clara Tyne.It seemed that Mary Ellen would surely die

    but she lived long enough to testify.

    Walter Browning was a happy married manand he wore a golden ring upon his hand.but it was gone. Nobody knew just where it went.He lost it in the Caroll County accident.

    Mary Ellen testified he flagged her downsaid he was sick and couldn't drive her into town.No one even doubted what she said was true

    cause she was well-respected in the county too.

    I went down to see the wreck like all the restthe broken seats, the shattered glass and tangled mess.but I found something no one else had even seenbehind the dash in Mary's crippled up machine.

    A little matchbox circled by her rubberbandand inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand.It took a while to figure out just what it meant:the truth behind the Caroll County accident.

    By dark of night I dropped the ring into a welland took a sacred oath that I would never tell.

    the truth about the Caroll County accidentcause the County ordered daddy a model monument.I lost him in the Caroll County accident.

    MOUNTAIN OF LOVECharley Pride

    I've been on a mountainoverlooking all the city.I feel it's like a done gone pity..................................................................................we used to be so happywhen we were in lovehigh on a mountain of love.

    Night after nightI've been standing here alone

    keeping my heart from the cold gray dawnfeeling down so lonely that you can't .........

    HIGHWAY 40 BLUESRicky Skaggs

    These Highway 40 bluesare both cold and up my shoes.

    counted the days since I was goneand I'd love to see the smiles at home.

    Wasted time and money toojust for the sake of truthbut in the end I had to losehad to pay all my dues toHighway 40 for the blues.

    The highway called when I was youngtaught me lies and things to come.Fame and fortune lie ahead

    now they dance to cowboy song,West Texans in bandannas,boots and buckles on the range.These are just the brand-new cowboyswho roam the concrete plains.

    Dancing, drinking carry onjust like the cowboys do.When you're a-working 9 to 5

    SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWNJohnny Cash

    Well, I woke up Sunday morningwith no vein inside my head that didn't hurtand the beer I had for breakfast wasn't badso I had one more for dessert.

    Then I fumbled through my closetthrough the clothes

    and found my cleanest dirty shirt.Then I washed my face and combed my hairamd stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

    I'd smoked my brain the night beforewith cigarettes and songs that I'd been picking.But I'd lit the first and watched a small kidcussing at a a can that he was kickingThen I walked across the empty streetand caught the sweet smell of someone's frying chicken.

    And that took me back to something

    and to someone I'd lost somehowsomewhere along the way.

    *On a Sunday morning sidewalkI'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned!Cause there's something in a Sundaythat makes the body feel alone.

    And there's nothing short of dyinghalf as lonesome as the soundon the sleeping city sidewalks

    Sunday morning coming down.*

    In the park I saw a daddywith a laughing little girl that he was swinging.and I stopped beside a Sunday schooland listened to the songs that they were singing.

    Then I headed back for homeand somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing.

    and it echoed through the canyonslike the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

    DELTA DAWN

    Tanya Tucker

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have onCould it be a faded rose from days gone byAnd did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here todayTo take you to his mansion in the sky

    She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her handLooking for a mysterious dark-haired man

    In her younger days they called her Delta DawnPrettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

    Then a man of low degree stood by her sideAnd promised her he'd take her for his bride

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have onCould it be a faded rose from days gone byAnd did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here todayTo take you to his mansion in the sky

    THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIACharlie Daniel's Band

    The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.

    When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell youwhat:"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too."And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you."Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:

    QUEEN OF THE SILVER DOLLAREmmy Lou Harris

    She arrives in all her splendorEach night at nine o'clockHer chariot is the crosstown busThat stops right down the blockNow the old piano minstrel playsher tune as she walks inAnd the Queen of theSilver Dollar's home again

    She's the Queen of the Silver DollarShe rules this smokey kingdomHer scepter is a wine glassand a barstool is her throneNow the jesters flock around hertrying to win her favorsTo see which one will take the

    Queen of the Silver Dollar home

    Now her royal dress is satinIt's shabby and it's tornThe royal jewels are rhinestonesThe shoes are scuffed and wornOf the many roads she's been down,

    And the places that she's seenWell they all look at her and sayGod save the queen

    Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar

    Is not as haughty as she seemsShe was once an ordinary girl

    with ordinary dreamsBut there's a man who found herAnd he brought her to this worldHe's the one who made a queenof a simple country girl

    Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver DollarI rule this smokey kingdomMy scepter is a wine glassand a bar stool is my throneNow the jesters flock around metryin' to win my favors

    To see which one will take theQueen of the Silver Dollar home

    Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver DollarI rule this smokey kingdomScepter is a wine glassand a bar stool is my throneNow the jesters flock around me

    OLD FLAMEAlabama

    There's an old flame burning in your eyesthat tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise.Well, that old flame might not be strongerbut it's been burning longer than any sparkI might've started in your eyes.

    THE DUKES OF HAZZARDWaylon Jennings.

    Just two good ol' boysnever meaning no harm.Beats all you ever saw.

    They're in trouble with the Lawsince the day they was born.

    Straightening the curves.Flattening the hills.Someday the mountainmight get them

    but the Law never will.

    Making their waythe only way they know how.That's just a little bit more

    than the love of their lives.

    Just two good ol' boys.Never change if they could.Fighting the systemlike a duo of modern-dayRobin Hoods.

    (Alternate)

    I'm a good ol' boy.You know my momma loves me,but they keep on showing my handsand not my face on the wheel.

    Yeee-highhhh !!

    and the countryside's with sin.An' the price of life is too high to give up.Gotta come down again.

    When the world-wide war is over and done,and the dream of peace comes true.We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Upand eatin' that rainbow stew.

    When they find out how to burn water,And the gasoline car is gone.When an airplane flies without any fuel,and the sunlight heats our home.

    One of these days when the air clears up,and the sun comes shinin' through.We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up,an' eatin' that rainbow stew.

    *Chorus*Eatin' rainbow stew in a silvery spoon,

    underneath that sky of blue.We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up,an' eatin' that rainbow stew.

    *Chorus*

    {Instrumental break}

    You don't have to get highto get happy, Just thinkabout what's in store.

    When people start doin'

    what they oughta be doin',then they won't be booin'

    no more.

    When a President goesthrough the White House door,an' does what he says he'll do.We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up,and eatin' that rainbow stew.
