Baby I Don't Care

You don't like crazy music.

You don't like rockin' bands.

You just wanna go to a movie show,

And sit there holdin' hands.

You're so square.

Baby, I don't care.



You don't like hotrod racin'

Or drivin' late at night.

You just wanna park where it's nice and dark.

You just wanna hold me tight.

You're so square.

Baby, I don't care.



You don't know any dance steps that are new,

But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do.



I don't know why my heart flips.

I only know it does.

I wonder why I love you, baby.

I guess it's just because

You're so square.

Baby, I don't care.



Written by Leiber and Stoller



Baby, If You'll Give Me All Your Love

I'll send you red roses by the dozen

I'll call you sweet little things like turtle dove

I'll whisper pretty things in your ear

The kinda things a girl likes to hear

Baby, if you'll give me all of your love



I'll bring you pounds and pounds of chocolate candy

To prove it's you that I've been thinking of

Tear up all the pictures I own of every pretty girl I've ever known

Baby, if you'll give me all of your love



I'll take you dancin' every night until you're ready to drop

I'll kiss your sweet red cherry lips until you holler stop

Every night I'll serenade you 'neath your window

If you need me just a whistle and I won't need a shove

I'll hug you squeeze you tight as I can

It ain't gonna be no one-night stand

Baby, if you'll give me all of your love



I'll take you dancin' every night until you're ready to drop

I'll kiss your sweet red cherry lips until you holler stop

Every night I'll serenade you 'neath your window

If you need me just a whistle and I won't need a shove

I'll hug you squeeze you tight as I can

It ain't gonna be no one-night stand

Baby, if you'll give me all of your love

Baby, if you'll give me all of your love

If you will give me, if you will give me all your love

Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby baby.

Baby, baby baby, b-b-b-b-b-b baby baby, baby.

Baby baby baby

Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you.



Well, you may go to college,

But don't you be nobody's fool.

I'd rather see you dead, little girl,

Than to be with another man.

Now baby,

Come back, baby, come.

Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you.



Oh, baby baby baby.

Baby baby baby b-b-b-b-b-b baby baby baby.

Barefoot Ballad

I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad

Won't you play for me a down home country song

'Cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off

With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong



Give me a honk-tonk fiddle with a guitar in the middle and a melody

Humming like a fountain swinging out on Smokey mountain



I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad

Won't you play for me a down home country song

'Cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off

With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong



Now the big toe's connected to the two toe

And the two toe's connected to the three toe

And the three toe's connected to the four toe

And the four toe's connected to the five toe

And the five toe and away we go



I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad

Won't you play for me a down home country song

'Cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off

With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong



Now the big toe's connected to the two toe

And the two toe's connected to the three toe

And the three toe's connected to the four toe

And the four toe's connected to the five toe

And the five toe and away we go



I wanna barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad

Won't you play for me a barefoot ballad song



Written by Fuller and Morris



Beach Boys Blues

I'm a poor Hawaiian beach boy

A long way from the beach

'Cause someone shoved his face against my hand

Now I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple

I'm in the can



I was minding my own business

But drinking daddy's juice

I swear I'll never touch that stuff again

Just like a pig before he gave his all that aluhau

I'm in the pen



Got those beach boy blues

Don't the time go slow

Lonely beach boy blues

Only 30 day's and 90 years to go



I want a taste of honey

From my wahini's lips

I want to be her ever loving man

But I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple

I'm in the can



But I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple

I'm in the can



Written by Tepper and Bennett



Beach Shack

When you're through swimming

I'll dry your back

Come and relax girl

In my little beach shack

dum-di-dum-di-dum, yeah-yeah-yeah

There'll be nothing you'll lack

It's a pleasure to welcome you

In my little beach shack



In my beach shack, baby we'll be alone

In my beach shack, I'll make you feel at home



Take off that wet cap

Let down your hair

Come to my beach shack

You'll be comfortable there

dum-di-dum-di-dum, yeah-yeah-yeah

Be my guest, have a snack

See how nice I feed company

In my little beach shack



In my beach shack, baby we'll be alone

In my beach shack, I'll make you feel at home



Come see my etchings

I wish you would

Don't be afraid girl

My intentions are good

You believe me now..

dum-di-dum-di-dum, yeah-yeah-yeah

I know girls by the pack

There's no-one I want there but you

In my little beach shack



In my beach shack, baby we'll be alone

In my beach shack, I'll make you feel at home



In my little beach shack



Written by Giant, Kaye, and Baum



Because Of Love

Because of love, I'm a hundred feet tall

I can bounce this world like a little old ball

The heaven and earth are now all mine

I've jumped to the moon from cloud number nine

Because, because, because, because of love



Because of love, I'm a mighty big man

I hold the sun in the palm of my hand

Just one leap I can cross the seas

Jump over mountains and fly over trees

Because, because, because, because of love



Well I found love, I found love

That's all that I can say

Oh I'll never, never, I'll never, never

Never let it get away



Because of love, I'm the happiest guy

And life is sweet as cherry cream pie

Well heaven and earth are now all mine

I've jumped to the moon from cloud number nine

Because, because, because, because of love

Because, because, because, because of love



Written by Batchelor and Roberts



Beginner's Luck

First time I fell in love

I fell in love with you

First time I dared to dream

My only dream came true



Must be beginner's luck

To wish upon a star

That opened up my eyes

And there you are



I wave no magic wand

I own no lucky charms

How then can I explain

An angel in my arms

Must be beginner's luck

What else can it be

When someone wonderful as you

Loves me



Written by Tepper and Bennett



Beyond The Bend

Breeze sing a happy song

This heart of mine is singing right along

Don't know where I'm going

Don't know where it ends

Till the grass is greener, beyond the bend



I haven't got a care

I'm just on my way to anywhere

Pocketful of nothing, nothing I can spend

Hope the grass is greener, beyond the bend



Beyond the bend,

Perhaps there'll be somebody waiting who's right for me

So I got to move around

And I know I've got to cover ground

Oh the trip is shorter when you got a friend

Gotta find that rainbow beyond the bend



Beyond the bend, beyond the bend



Written by Weisman, Fuller and Wise



Beyond The Reef

Beyond the reef where the sea is dark and cold

My love has gone from me and my dreams grow cold

There'll be no tears, there'll be no regretting

Will she remember me, will she forget?



I'll send a thousand flowers

Where the trade winds blow

I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so

Some day I know, she'll come back again to me

Till then my heart will be beyond the reef



I'll send a thousand flowers

Where the trade winds blow

I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so

Some day I know, she'll come back again to me

Till then my heart will be beyond the reef



Till then my heart will be beyond the reef



Written by Jack Pittman



Big Boots

They call your daddy Big Boots

And Big Boots is his name

It takes a big man to wear big boots

That's your daddy's claim to fame

They know your daddy Big Boots

Wherever soldiers are

'Cause he can handle an armored tank

Just like a kiddy can

So sleep little soldier

Don't you cry


Loo loo loo loo

Loo loo loo

General sandman's soon coming by

Loo loo loo loo

Loo loo loo

I'm gonna tell you a little secret

You won't believe it's true

Did you know your

Daddy Big Boots

Once wore little boots like you



Written By Wayne and Edwards



Big Boss Man

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?

Can't you hear me when I call?

Well you ain't so big, you know you're just tall that's all, All right

Well you got me workin' boss man

Workin' round the clock

I wanna little drink of water

But you won't let big Al stop

Big boss man now can't you hear me when I call? All right

I said you ain't so big, you know you're just tall that's all



Big boss man, why can't you hear me when I call? All right

You know you ain't so big, I said you're just tall that's all, All right

I'm gonna get me a boss man

One who's gonna treat me right

Rest easy at night

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? Can't you hear me when I call?

I said you ain't so big, you're just tall that's all

I'm gonna get me a boss man

One that's gonna treat me right

Big boss man, big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?

I said you ain't so big, you're just tall that's all

All right, big boss man

It's all right



Written by Dixon and Smith



Big Love, Big Heartache

Oh yes, I know it's true

The more you fall in love

The more your heart can break in two

Now that you've said goodbye

For every tender kiss

I've had the tears I cry

I gave my heart and soul

All the love I knew

Oh how much it hurts me now

To know that we are through



I'll always feel this way

My arms will be so empty

You'll return some day and say

Your love, yes your big love

Will be here to stay

Till then it's



Your love yes your big love

Will be here to stay



Written by Fuller, Hendrix, and Morris



Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall

I told her to leave me alone

That's what she's done, just what she's done

And a house built for two, ain't a home

When it's lived in by one, one lonely one



And I can no longer hear footsteps, come right down the hall

Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall

She caught me lying, then she caught a train

And I caught a fever walking home in the rain

Oh yeah!

But it's over and I’m done

She left me once and for all 

Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall

Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall



Written by Larry Gatlin



Blessed Jesus Hold My Hand

Stepping through the sinking sand

To the cross of Calvary

Mm, let it be my prayer, dear Lord, each day

To help me do the best I can

For there is no friend on whom I can depend

Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.



Blessed Jesus, hold my hand ...

Oh, yes, I need Thee every hour

Through the this pilgrims land

Protect me by thy saving power

Please, hear my feeble plea

Oh, hoh, Lord, please, tell me 

I kneel in prayer, I try to meet you there

Blessed Jesus, hold my hand, hold my hand.



Blowin' In The Wind

How many roads must a man walk down,

Before you call him a man?

Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail,

Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes and how many times must cannonballs fly,

Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind



How many times must a man look up,

Before he can see the sky?

How many ears must one man have,

Before he can hear people cry?

How many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind



How many years can a mountain exist,

Before it's washed to the seas (sea)

HOw many years can some people exist,

Before they're allowed to be free?

How many times can a man turn his head,

Pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.



Written by Bob Dillan



Blueberry Hill

I found my thrill on blueberry hill

On blueberry hill when I found you

The moon stood still on blueberry hill

And lingered until my dreams came true



The wind in the willow played

Love's sweet melody

But all of those vows we made

Were never to be



Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still

For you were my thrill on blueberry hill



Written by Lewis, Rose, and Stock



Blue Christmas

I'll have a Blue Christmas without you

I'll be so blue thinking about you

Decorations of red on a green Christmastree

Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me



I'll have a Blue Christmas that's certain

And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'

You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,

But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas



Written by Billy Hayes and Jay Johnson



Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain

In the twilight glow I see her

Blue eyes crying in the rain

When we kissed goodbye and parted

I knew we'd never meet again



Love is like a dying ember

Only memories remain

Through the ages I remember

Blue eyes crying in the rain



Someday when we meet up yonder

We'll stroll hand in hand again

In a land that knows no parting

Blue eyes crying in the rain



Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain



Written by Fred Rose



Blue Hawaii

Night and you

And blue Hawaii

The night is heavenly

And you are heaven to me



Lovely you

And blue Hawaii

With all this loveliness

There should be love



Come with me

While the moon is on the sea,

The night is young

And so are we, so are we



Dreams come true 

In blue Hawaii

And mine could all come true

This magic night of nights with you



Written by Robin and Rainger



Blue Moon

Blue moon,

You saw me standing alone,

Without a dream in my heart,

Without a love of my own.




Blue moon,

You knew just what I was there for.

You heard me saying a pray for

Someone I really could care for.



Blue moon,

You saw me standing alone,

Without a dream in my heart,

Without a love of my own.



Blue moon...

Without a love of my own.



Written by Rodgers and Hart



Blue Moon On Kentucky

Blue moon, blue moon, blue moon,

keep shining bright.

Blue moon, keep on shining bright,

You're gonna bring me back my baby tonight,

Blue moon, keep shining bright.



I said blue moon of Kentucky

keep on shining,

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

I said blue moon of Kentucky

keep on shining,

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.



Well, it was on one moonlight night,

Stars shining bright,

Wish blown high

Love said good-bye.



Blue moon of Kentucky

Keep on shining.

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.



Well, I said blue moon of Kentucky

Just keep on shining.

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue. 

I said blue moon of Kentucky

keep on shining.

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.



Well, it was on one moonlight night,

Stars shining bright,

Wish blown high

Love said good-bye.



Blue moon of Kentucky

Keep on shining.

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.



Written by Bill Monroe



Blue River

Blue river, it can't be found on any map that I know

But it's the place where lonely lovers all go

To cry their tears, blue river

It winds along a path of heartache and pain

Of broken dreams from lovin' someone in vain

Like I loved you, and baby I still do



I held you so tight

You were out of my sight

I'm feelin' so low

But I gotta go

Blue river because you never really cared about me

From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be

Cryin' over you, by the river of blue



Written By Evans and Tobias



Blue Suede Shoes

Well, it's one for the money,

Two for the show,

Three to get ready,

Now go, cat, go.



But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.

You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.



Well, you can knock me down,

Step in my face,

Slander my name

All over the place.



Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh, 

Honey, lay off of my shoes

Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.

You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.



You can burn my house,

Steal my car,

Drink my liquor 

From an old fruitjar.



Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh, 

Honey, lay off of my shoes

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.

You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes



Written by Karl Perkins



Bosom Of Abraham

Well you rock my soul

Down in the bosom of Abraham

Rock, rock, rock down in the bosom of Abraham

He rocks my soul down in the bosom of Abraham



Well a rich man lives, He lives so well

Children, when he dies on a lonely hill

Why don't you rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham



Written by Elvis Presley, Johnson, McFadden and Brooks



Bossa Nova, Baby

I said, 'Take it easy, baby

I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead

You got my shirt tails

Flyin' all over the place

And the sweat poppin' out of my head'

She said, 'Hey, Bossa nova, baby

Keep on a workin' child

This ain't no time to quit'

She said, 'Go, Bossa nova, baby

Keep on dancin'

I'm about to have myself a fit'

Bossa nova, Bossa nova



I said, 'Hey little mama,

Let's sit down

Have a drink and dig the band'

She said, 'Drink, drink, drink

Oh, fiddle-de-dink

I can dance with a drink in my hand'

She said 'Hey Bossa nova, baby

Keep on workin' child

This ain't no time to drink'

She said 'Go, Bossa nova, baby

Keep on dancin'

'Cause I ain't got time to think'



I said, 'Come on, baby

It's hot in here

And it's oh so cool outside

If you lend me a dollar

I can buy some gas

And we can go for a little ride'

She said, 'Hey Bossa nova, baby

Keep on workin' child

I ain't got time for that'

She said, 'Go Bossa nova, baby

Keep on dancin'

Or I'll find myself another cat'



Written By Leiber and Stoller



Bridge Over Troubled Water

When You're weary, feeling small

When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all

I'm on your site, oh, When times get rough

And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water,

I will lay me down,

Oh, like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

When you're down and out, when you're on the streets

When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you

I'll take your part when the darkness falls and pain is all around

Yes, like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Oh, like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Sail on, silver girl, sail on by

Your time has come to shine

All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine

Oh, if you need a friend,

I'm sailing right behind

Yes, like a bridge over troubled water

I, I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will easy your mind



Written by Paul Simon



Bringin' It Back

If I can never see you, if I can never hold you

If I can never touch your face or feel your warm embrace

I still remember talkin', I still remember laughin'

I still remember lovin' you a lot and touchin' you

Only bringin' it back, only just bringin' it back

A familiar face, a familiar face just brings it all back

Everything's bringin' it back, good songs bringin' it back

Even after so much time, everything's bringin' it back

Thinkin' in my solitude, wonderin' about your attitude

Thinkin' maybe that your love has died

There it is, I can see it in your eyes

A look of sweet surrender, a touch of too much sadness

'Cause I've hurt you so, you know your sorrow shows

You just can't stay, but you can't let go





Written by Greg Gordon



Britches

Beware of a gal in britches

Yo-di-o-di-o

Never trust no gal in britches

No-di-o-di-o

If you had a sense of this here horse

You would have known it by now of course

Who wears the britches is the boss

That's a gal, that's a gal in britches

Don't mess with a gal in britches

Yo-di-o-di-o

No feminine gal wears britches

No-di-o-di-o

She'll beg you to come to the country dance

You ride twenty miles for the big romance

She shows up in her brother's pants

What'd you expect from a girl in britches

Yo-di-o-di-o-i-ay, It's none of my misfortune

Yo-di-o-di-o-di-ay, Just thought you'd like to know

Don't marry no gal in britches

Yo-di-o-di-o

You'll never know which is which's

No-di-o-di-o

She'll put a halter through your nose

Have you cooking and washing clothes

While she goes chasing them buffaloes

Bet your boots, that's a gal in britches.





Written by Wayne and Edwards



Burning Love

Lord Almighty, 

I feel my temperature rising

Higher higher

It's burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl

You gonna set me on fire

My brain is flaming

I don't know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher

Like the sweet song of a choir

You light my morning sky

With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh,

I feel my temperature rising

Help me, I'm flaming

I must be a hundred and nine

Burning, burning, burning

And nothing can cool me

I just might turn into smoke

But I feel fine

Cause your kisses lift me higher

Like a sweet song of a choir

And you light my morning sky

With burning love

It's coming closer

The flames are reaching my body

Please won't you help me

I feel like I'm slipping away

It's hard to breath

And my chest is a-heating

Lord Almighty,

I'm burning a hole where I lay

Cause your kisses lift me higher

Like the sweet song of a choir

You light my morning sky

With burning love

With burning love

Ah, ah, burning love

I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love



Written by Linde



By and By

Well children by and by when the morning comes

All the saints of God together they come

We will tell the story how the Lord will come

And we'll understand him better by and by

Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand

All the ways God will lead us

To the blessed promised land

He will guide us with his eye

And we'll follow till we die

And we'll understand him better by and by

Well children by and by when the morning comes

All the saints of God together they come

We will tell the story how the Lord will come

And we'll understand him better by and by

Temptation's hidden snares often take the sun away

And our hearts are made to bleed

For some thoughtless word or deed

And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best

But we'll understand it better by and by

Well children by and by when the morning comes

All the saints of God together they come

We will tell the story how the Lord will come

And we'll understand him better by and by

And we'll understand him better by and by
