                         MAILMAN  BRING  ME  NO  MORE  BLUES   

                         (Ruth Roberts - Bill Katz - Stanley Clayton)

_________________________________________________________________

 

Mailman, bring me no more blues

Mailman, bring me no more blues

One blue letter is all I can use

 

She wrote me only one sad line

Told me she's no longer mine

Yes, sir, mailman that'll do for some time

 

Cried like never before

So hard, couldn't cry no more

Shoo, a-shoo, mailman, stay away from my door

 

Mailman, bring me no more blues

Mailman, bring me no more blues

One blue letter is all I can use

                       MAYBE   BABY  (Norman Petty - Buddy Holly)

_________________________________________________________________

	There's an absolute unknown composer mentioned :  PELLY !

Maybe baby, I'll have you

Maybe baby, you'll be true

Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

 

It's funny honey, you don't care

You never listen to my prayer

Maybe baby, you will love me some day

 

Well, you are the one that makes me glad

And you are the one that makes me sad

When some day you want me, well,

I'll be there, wait and see

 

Maybe baby, I'll have you

Maybe baby, you'll be true

Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

 

Well, you are the one that makes glad

And you are the one that makes me sad

When some day you want me, well,

I'll be there, wait and see

 

Maybe baby, I'll have you

Maybe baby, you'll be true

Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

                                   MEMORIES  (Bob Montgomery)

_________________________________________________________________

 

You've left me alone with memories

I tried to endure you in this cheating

I loved you with my heart's every beating

Now my hopes are gone like wi-ind through the trees

'Cause you've left me alone with memories

 

I know that it may seem to you that I don't really care

But someday when you're all alone and memories are there

You'll know you've left me alone with memories

 

I tried forgetting what you meant to me

For now I realize that I'm alone

In my mind I really know that you are gone

But my foolish heart refuses to see

Why you've left me alone with memories

 

I know that it may seem to you that I don't really care

But someday when you're all alone and memories are there

You'll know you've left me alone with memories

                     MIDNIGHT  SHIFT  (Jimmy Ainsworth - Earl Lee)

_________________________________________________________________

 

 

Well if you see ol' Annie, better give her a lift

'Cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift

 

 

If Annie puts her hair up on her head

Paints them lips up bright, bright red

Wears that dress that fits real tight

Starts stayin' out late till the middle of the night

Says to her friend, give her a lift

Well Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift

 

 

If she acts a little funny, seems a little strange

Starts spending your money for brand new things

Tells you that she wants to use the car

Never explains what she wants it for

Brother, there just ain't no ifs

'Cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift

 

 

Well early in the morning when the sun comes up

You look at ol' Annie and she looks kinda rough

You tell her, "Honey get out of that bed."

She says, "Leave me alone, I'm just about dead."

Brother, there just ain't no ifs

'Cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift

 

 

If you got a good mama that's stayin' at home

You better enjoy, 'cause it won't last long

When you think everything's all right

She starts slippin' round in the middle of the night

Brother, there just ain't no ifs

'Cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift

                            MODERN DON JUAN  (Don Guess - Jack Neil)

_________________________________________________________________

 

Well, I ain't nothin' but a man in love

I ain't nothin' but a man in love

The girls they say, I'm their only one

They say I'm a modern Don Juan

 

Well there ain't but one thing puzzlin' me

I got a girl and she can't see

That I want only to make her mine

Well she thinks I'm just handin' her a line

 

Oh, I love her so, I'll never ever let her go-o-hoh

 

I ain't nothin' but a man in love

I ain't nothin' but a man in love

The girls they say, I'm their only one

They say I'm a modern Don Juan

 

Oh, I love her so, I'll never ever let her go-o-hoh

 

I ain't nothin' but a man in love

I ain't nothin' but a man in love

The girls they say, I'm their only one

They say I'm a modern Don Juan

Well, I ain't nothin' but a man in love

I ain't nothin' but a man in love

I ain't nothin' but a man in love

                                 MOONDREAMS  (Norman Petty)

_________________________________________________________________

 

 

Strange things take place in my moondreams

As the lonely and loveless hours go by

Your face takes its place in ev'ry moonbeam

Moondreams bring thoughts gentle as a sigh

 

 

Moondreams can be a sensation

Moondreams may be fascination

Love can be our destination

You and I can share this dream

 

 

Wishing for you in my moondreams

As the lonely and loveless hours go by

Will do until you can share all my dreams

Moondreams, moondreams, moondreams

Brought by moonbeams in the sky

                     NOT FADE AWAY  (Charles Hardin - Norman Petty)

_________________________________________________________________

 

I'm a-gonna tell you how it's gonna be

You're gonna give-a your love to me

I wanna love you night and day

You know my love will not fade away

Oh-well, you know my love will not fade away

 

My love is bigger than a Cadillac

I tried to show it and you drive me back

Your love for me has got to be real

For you to know just how I feel

A love for real and not fade away

 

I'm a-gonna tell you how it's gonna be

You're gonna give-a your love to me

A love to last more than one day

A lovers' love and not fade away

A lovers' love and not fade away

Now we're one and I love you so

A-now we're one and you're my bride

We don't have to run and hide

Every time I wanna hold your hand

Afraid someone won't understand

Now that we are married, baby

We don't have to worry, now we're one

 

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)

 

Well, I wanna jump to the moon and yell out loud

I feel like I'm walking on a eighteenth cloud

We put all our fears and cares behind

Ever since we heard the wedding bells chime

 

Now we're one and I love you so

A-hold me tight, never let me go

Make the feeling run up my spine

You know I'm yours and you are mine
