I waited each day for your letter although I knew what it would cost
But dear when it came I knew that your game had been won
And I knew that I had lost
But I just couldn't open your letter I know you're no longer my own
The moment it came I wrote beneath my name
These heartbreaking words address unknown
[ piano ]
I wanted to open your letter to see if you missed me sometimes

When I see blossoms in the springtime
I know that sweetheart time is here
My love that blossoms in the springtime
Blooms in my heart through all the year

I love the blossoms in the springtime
Kissed by the sunshine and the rain
I love to hold you, oh my darlin'

Tonight I'm blue for old Hawaii my weary sould is lonesome too
She left me blue and broken hearted I've got them old Hawaii blues
(Your big blue eyes and darkbrown curls dear made skies of grey turn into blue
But now you've gone and lost forever I've got them old Hawaii blues)
You left me down where drowsy waters roll on the shores of paradise
You've had your way dear and we have parted for you old pal I dream tonight
Perhaps some day your mind will wander back to the one who loves you true
And I will still for you be waiting I've got them old Hawaii blues

Blue rose of the Rio I can see her now
As she looked that day when I rode away through a golden dawn
It was there by the Rio that we made our vows
Then we kissed goodbye what a fool was I fore I traveled on
I should have known as we kissed such heaven as this could only be
Paradise's lost if it would tossed away so free
Must I wish for manana that will never come true
Blue rose of the Rio my answer is you

Blue sea keep a-rollin'
On your weary way
My sweetie has left me
She done drifted away
She hopped a big ocean liner
Headed out to the sea
And left a world full of worries
On the beach with me

If you listen a story I'll tell you,
Of a girl who once lived in this land
A girl who was once my sweetheart,
She was know as The Blue Velvet Band.

On her cheeks was the first flush of nature,
Her beauty, it seemed to expand,
Her hair hung down in long tresses,

Woke up this morning,
Bluer than blue,
This old heart breaking
For someone I knew,
Colleen, dear 'tis you.

Why did you leave me?
What made you roam?

I know somewhere out in the world
There is a gal for me
I'd like to find and make you mine
How happy we would be ...
We wouldn't need a moonlit night
To sit outdoors and spoon
'Cause I would buy a rocket ship
And take you to the moon.

Hawaii's callin'
When I hear the rhythm of the hula rock, hula rock

In the South Pacific where the trade winds blow
They thought that the hula was a little bit slow
So they stepped it up with a go, go, go
And that's where they got that rock and roll

Though we said goodbye and we drifted far apart
I knew that we'd meet again
Though you left my arms you never left my heart
I knew that we'd meet again

The lover's lane was not the same with someone new
How could lover's lane be same without you
Here we are together prayers were not in vain

We're traveling down two different roads in world so far apart
You want me yet there's something else before me in your heart
You're wanting me to change my life the way you're living yours
But I can't change I see no way you wanted me before

If you don't want me like I am then please don't pity me
If you can't change a little bit then why not set me free
If we can't live together then it's best we live apart

That big eight wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh hear my song

Hank Snow - I've been everywhere


I was totin' my pack
Along the dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi
With a high and canvas covered load
If you're going to Winnemucca, Mack

It's been so long, darlin'
Since I had to go away
It's been so long, darlin'
And I'll ne'er forget that day

Although you never mentioned it
You cried that whole day long
It's been so long, darlin'

All alone in this cruel world of sin
I have fought for Jesus but in vain
In my fight o'er dear land of God
They condemned him and tried to erase his name
They shout in mockery and sneer the son of God
As they smoked him and nailed him to a tree
A little bird circled round his crown of thorns
To dry the tears that he shed for you and me

Kentucky Waltz
Written and first recorded by Bill Monroe

G
We were waltzing that night in Kentucky
D7
'Neath the beautiful harvest moon

I'm a Lady's Man, Oh! yes-sir-ee
I like the gals and the gals like me
Can I make 'em swoon? Oh! yes, I can
Don't know what it is about me they love
But what it is, I got plenty of
Make way for me, I'm a lovin', Lady's Man.

I'm a Lady's Man and that's no crime

Let me go, let me go, let me go, woman
Let me be, set me free, from your spell
You made me weep, cut me deep, I can't sleep, woman
I was cursed, from the first, day I fell.

You don't want me, but you want me, to go on wanting you
How I pray that, you will say that, we're through
Please turn me loose, what's the use, let me go, woman

Do you take this woman to be your dear wife
Do you vow to love her the rest of your life
And will you protect her and honor her name
Oh don't cause her heartaches and don't bring her shame
Share with her in powerty with her in wealth
For richer for poorer through sickness and health
All these things the Parson did ask me and then I whispered I do and I'd do it again
[ steel ]

Recorded by Hank Snow

Well her eyes they sparkle like the sandy dunes
And her voice it rings like all the latest tunes
And when she speaks my name her eyes fairly light up and shine
She's my Arabian baby and maybe she'll soon be mine

I've traveled this whole world over and never have I seen

The sweetest girl in the world
Is my blue eyed Jane.
We fell in love like turtledoves
While the moon was shining down.
I asked her then, I asked her when
Wedding bells would ring.
She said, "Oh, dear, it seems so queer
That this could happen here."

I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mood,
You talk about a woman treatin' a good man rude
She left me talkin' to myself just a gazin' at that mean old wall.
She had another daddy waitin' down at the end of the hall.

She changes with the weather like the leaves I recall,
She blossoms in the spring but then she's gone in the fall,
A two timin' woman with a heart of solid stone.

Well everybody's goin' out and havin' fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and havin' none
I can't get over how she set set me free oh lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me
I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
Flirting with the boys with all her charms

Chorus:
For your poison love has stained the life blood
In my heart and soul dear
And I know my life will never be the same
For my pleading has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty for the same

Return to me for my dear I'm so lonely
Hurry back hurry back oh my love I am yours hurry back
Return to me for my heart wants you only
Hurry home hurry home won't you please hurry home to my heart
My darling if I hurt you I'm sorry forgive me and please say you are mine
Return to me please come back al'a mia
Hurry back hurry home to my arms to my lips and my heart
My darling if I hurt you...

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

Traveling the lonely roads of sorrow,
Heartaches are all I've ever known.
Time has turned a million pages,
Fate has dealt and I'm alone.

[Chorus]
But somewhere along life's highway
From your new love you may part,

I've got a tangled mind I've got a broken heart
Don't have a dime and my time is short
I got a gal somewhere I guess she thinks I'm dead
I'd go back home if I could clear my head
Cryin' cryin' all of the time I've got a broken heart I've got a tangled mind
I lost a million friends I'm trudgin' on in the dark
Can't find my way don't know where to start
I had a home one time I left it all behind I can't go back I've got a tangled mind

I was singin' the blues
And now I'm shoutin' hooray,
Cause I met a pretty mama
And I met her today.
Well, her eyes started cheatin',
My heart started beatin' aloud,
Like the rhythmatic motors of
The Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud.

I love a gal who invented kissin' I don't recall her name
But I do believe that gal should sit high up in the hall of fame
Until she came along just think what we were missin'
That's why today I'm shouting hooray for the gal who invented kissin'
She thought the fellows how to smooth instead of holdin' hands
And she showed them how to steel a kiss like they do in foreign lands
Until she came along just think what they were missin'
Loved was very nice but as cold as ice to that gal who invented kissin'

In the Dodge City yards of the Sante Fe
Stood a freight made up for the east
And the engineer with his oil and waste
Was groomin' the great iron beast

While ten cars back in the murky dust
A box-car door swung wide
And a hobo lifted his pal aboard

The next voice you hear will be your conscience
As you lie awake and try so hard to sleep
And your unfaithful heart will have to listen
To those shabby little secrets that you keep!
You'll be tormented like you tormented me!
And the tears of shame will fall with ev'ry memory!
But the next voice you hear will make you listen
Till you wish that you had listened to me!

I've traveled this whole world over
and now I'm goin' down to the rainbow's end
From twilight till dawn trudging on and on
On my way to the rainbow's end.

I'm weary and tired but I don't care
I'm goin' down to the rainbow's end
No friends, no home, just travelin' alone

I had to quit rail roadin'
We didn't agree at all
There was always something wrong
With the Southern Cannon Ball.

[Chorus]
Odle ayee adle eedle
Ayee odle eedle ayee.

These hands ain't the hands of a gentleman
These hands are calloused and old
These hands raised a family these hands built a home
Now these hands raised to praise the Lord
These hands won the heart of my loved one
And with hers they were never alone
If these hands filled their task then what more could one ask

My ship set sail to Bluebird Island
And slowly drifted out to sea
Her silver sails to cross the ocean
My lover's lonely heart set free

Then out across the waves the bluebirds came one day
Out over the silver sea, your message brought to me
To sail my ship of love along the moonlit bay

All around the water tank, waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk
He said "If you got money, boy, I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show
"Get off, get off, you railroad bum" and slammed the boxcar door

He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love

With this ring I Thee wed an angel here beside me
A moment more and heaven will be mine
With this ring I Thee wed as every dream inside me
Comes true each time I hear the church bells chime

This little band of gold I hold will soon be on your finger
A vow and now that moment so divine
With this ring I Thee wed and make you mine forever

I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses
You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through
You tell me that, tonight your heart is broken
But you should know, I was never untrue
I'll place them near your photograph
And as the petals fall
They'll hide from you my lonely tears
That shouldn't fall at all

When you left I closed your little locket
And I sealed fast it with blinding tears
Nothing in this whole wide world can break it
Though I’ve held it up for all to see for years
Many hands have reached out for it’s tiny golden chain
Many lips have been tried but cried in vain
For our love I’ve sealed within your locket
And your locket is my broken heart
