Title
- If you're traveling in the north country fair
- Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
- Remember me to one who lives there
- For she was once a true love of mine.
- Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm
- When the rivers freeze and summer ends
- Please see for me if she's wearing a coat so warm
- To keep her from the howlin' winds.
- Please see from me if her hair hanging down
- If it curls and flows all down her breast
- Please see from me if her hair hanging down
- That's the way I remember her best.
- Well, if you're traveling in the north country fair
- Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
- Please say hello to one who lives there
- She once was a true love of mine.
- If you're travelin' in the north country fair
- Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
- Remember me to one who lives there
- She once was a true love of mine.
- To be alone with you
- Just you and me
- Now won't you tell me the true
- Ain't that the way it oughta be?
- To hold each other tight
- The whole night through
- Ev'rything is always right
- When I'm alone with you.
- To be alone with you
- At the close of the day
- With only you in view
- While evenings slips away
- It only goes to show
- That while life's pleasures be few
- The only one I know
- Is when I'm alone with you.
- They say that nighttime is the right time
- To be with the one you love
- Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
- But you're always what I'm thinkin' of
- I wish the night were here
- Bringin' me all of your charms
- When only you are near
- To hold me in your arms.
- I'll always thank the Lord
- When my working day's through
- I get my sweet reward
- To be alone with you.
- I once held her in my arms
- She said she would always stay
- But I was cruel
- I treated her like a fool
- I threw it all away.
- Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand
- And rivers that ran through ev'ry day
- I must have been mad
- I never knew what I had
- Until I threw it all away.
- Love is all there is, it makes the world go around
- Love and only love it can't be denied
- No matter what you think about it
- You just won't be able to do without it
- Take a tip from one who's tried.
- So if you find someone that gives you all of her love
- Take it to your heart, don't let it stray
- For one thing that's certain
- You will surely be a-hurtin'
- If you throw it all away.
- Peggy Day stole my poor heart away
- By golly, what more can I say
- Love to spend the night with Peggy Day.
- Peggy might makes my future look so bright
- Man, that girl is ought of sight
- Love to spend the day with Peggy night.
- Well, you know that even before I learned her name
- You know I loved her just the same
- And I tell them all, wherever I may go
- Just so they'll know, that she's my little lady
- And I love her so.
- Peggy Day stole my poor heart away
- Turned my skies to blue from gray
- Love to spend the night with Peggy Day.
- Peggy Day stole my poor heart away
- By golly, what more can I say
- Love to spend the night with Peggy Day
- Love to spend the night with Peggy Day.
- Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
- Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
- Whatever colors you have in your mind
- I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine.
- Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
- Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
- Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
- His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
- And you're the best thing that he's ever seen.
- Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
- Why wait any longer for the world to begin
- You can have your cake and eat it too
- Why wait any longer for the one you love
- When he's standing in front of you.
- Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
- Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
- I long to see you in the morning light
- I long to reach for you in the night
- Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead.
- One more night, the stars are in sight
- But tonight I'm as lonesome as can be
- Oh, the moon is shinin' bright
- Lighting ev'rything in sight
- But tonight no light will shine on me.
- Oh, it's shameful and it's sad
- I lost the only pal I had
- I just could not be what she wanted me to be
- I will turn my head up high
- To that dark and rolling sky
- For tonight no light will shine on me.
- I was so mistaken when I thought that she'd be true
- I had no idea what a woman in love would do.
- One more night, I will wait for the light
- While the wind blows high above the tree
- Oh, I miss my darling so
- I didn't mean to see her go
- But tonight no light will shine on me.
- One more night, the moon is shinin' bright
- And the wind blows high above the tree
- Oh, I miss that woman so
- I didn't mean to see her go
- But tonight no light will shine on me.
- I have heard rumors all over town
- They say that you're planning to put me down
- All I would like you to do
- Is tell me that it isn't true.
- They say that you've been seen with some other man
- That he's tall, dark, and handsome, and you're holding his hand
- Darling, I'm a-countin' on you.
- Tell me that is isn't true.
- To know that some other man is holdin' you tight
- It hurts me all over, it doesn't seem right.
- All of those awful things that I have heard
- I don't want to believe them, all I want is your word
- So darlin' you better come through
- Tell me that it isn't true.
- All of those awful things that I have heard
- I don't want to believe them, all I want is your word
- So darlin' I'm countin' on you
- Tell me that it isn't true.
- Just like old Saxophone Joe
- When he's got the hogshead up on his toe
- Oh me, oh my
- Love that country pie.
- Listen to the fiddler play
- When he's playin' 'til the break of day
- Oh me, oh my
- Love that country pie.
- Rasberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
- What do I care ?
- Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin and plum
- Call me for dinner, honey, I'll be there.
- Saddle me up on my big white goose
- Tie me on 'er turn her loose
- Oh me, oh my
- Love that country pie.
- I don't need much and that ain't no lie
- Ain't runnin' any race
- Give to me my country pie
- I won't throw it up in anybody's face.
- Shake me up that old peach tree
- Little Jack Horner's got nothin' on me
- Oh me, oh my
- Love that country pie.
- Throw my ticket out the window
- Throw my suitcase out there too
- Throw my troubles out the door
- I don't need them any more
- 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
- I should have left this town this morning
- But it was more than I could do
- Oh, your love comes on so strong
- And I've waited all day long
- For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.
- Is it really any wonder
- The love that a stranger might receive
- You cast your spell and I went under
- I find it so difficult to leave.
- I can hear that whistle blowin'
- I see that stationmaster, too
- If there's a poor boy on the street
- Then let him have my seat
- 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
- Throw my ticket out the window
- Throw my suitcase out there too
- Throw my troubles out the door
- I don't need them any more
- 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
