All I Have to Do Is Dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam,
dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all
your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam,
dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me
tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night
or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is
why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream,
dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night
or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is
why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream,
dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

Let It Be Me
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to
someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your
sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And
that you'll always let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your
sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And
that you'll always---let--it-be--me

Ebony Eyes
On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time
To get home and
marry that baby of mine
So I went to the chaplain and he authorized
Me to
send for my ebony eyes
My ebony eyes was coming to me
From out of the skies on
Flight 1203
In an hour or two I would whisper "I do"
To my beautiful ebony
eyes
SPOKEN
The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the
airlines desk and I said "Sir, I
wonder why 1203 is so late?" He said "Aww,
they probably took off late or they
may have run into some turbulent weather
and had to alter their course." I went
back outside and I waited at the gate
and I watched the beacon light from the
control tower as it whipped through
the dark ebony skies as if it were searching for
(my ebony eyes.) And then
came the announcement over the loudspeaker-
"Would those having relatives or
friends on flight number 1203 please report to the
chapel across the street
at once."
Then I felt a burning break deep inside
And I knew the
heavenly ebony skies
Had taken my life's most wonderful prize
My beautiful
ebony eyes
If I ever get to heaven I'll bet
The first angel I'll
recognize
She'll smile at me and I know she will be
My beautiful ebony
eyes
Roving Gambler
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Whenever I
meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down.
Lay my money down, lay my
money down
I had not been in Washington not many more weeks than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little gal, she fell in love with me.
Fell
in love with me, fell in love with me
She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with her fan
She
whispered low in her mother's ear, "I love that gambling man.''
Love that
gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man
"Daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so?
To
leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go?''
With a gambler go, with
a gambler go
I've gambled down in Washington; I've gambled over in Spain
I'm goin' down to Georgia to gamble my last game.
Gamble my last game, gamble
my last game
"Oh mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well
But
the love I have for this gambling man, no human tongue can tell.''
No human
tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell
"I hear that train a-coming, coming 'round the curve
A-whistling and a-blowing straining every nerve."
Strainin' every nerve,
strainin' every nerve
"Mother, oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can
If you ever
see me comin' back, I'll be with the gambling man.
Be with the gambling man.
Be with the gambling man."
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Whenever I
meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down.
Lay my money down, lay my
money down

Poor Jenny
I took my little Jenny to a party last night
At ten o'clock
it ended in a heckuva fight
When someone hit my Jenny she went out like a
light
Poor Jenny
And then some joker went and called the cops on the phone
So everybody scattered out for places unknown
I couldn't carry Jenny so I
left her alone
Poor Jenny
Well Jenny had her picture in the paper this mornin'
She
made it with a bang
Accordin' to the story in the paper this mornin'
Jenny
is the leader of a teenage gang
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail
Her daddy
wants to ride me out of town on a rail
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets
out of jail
Poor Jenny
I went downtown to see her, she was locked in a cell
She
wasn't very glad to see me, that I could tell
In fact, to tell the truth, she
wasn't lookin' too well
Poor Jenny
Her eye was black, her face was red, her hair was a fright
She looked as though she'd been a'cryin' half of the night
I told her I was
sorry, she said "Get out of sight"
Poor Jenny
It seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended, a
heckuva fate
This party was the first one she ever had attended
It had to
happen on our very first date
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail
Her daddy
wants to ride me out of town on a rail
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets
out of jail
Poor Jenny
Temptation
You came, I was alone
I should have known
You were
temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone
And you were
temptation
It would be thrilling if you were willing
And, if it can
never be, pity me
For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist, you are
temptation, I
Am yours, here is my heart
Take it and say that we'll never
part
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you, temptation
I'm your slave!!!
Wake Up Little Susie
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake
up
We've both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep
The
movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep
Wake up little
Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say "ooh-la-la"
Wake up little
Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

Well Susie baby

Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, we
gotta go home
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake
up
The movie wasn't so hot, it didn't have much of a plot
We fell asleep,
our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie
Wake up
little Susie, well
Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say "ooh-la-la"
Wake up little
Susie
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Problems
Problems, problems, problems all day long
Will my problems
work out right or wrong
My baby don't like anything I do-o-o
My teacher
seems to feel the same way too
Worries, worries pile up on my head
Woe is me I should have
stayed in bed
Can't get the car my marks ain't been so go-o-ood
My love
life just ain't swingin' like it shou-ou-ould
Problems, problems, pro-o-o-o-blems
They're all on
account-a my lovin' you like I do-o-o-o-o
Problems, problems, pro-o-o-o-blems
They won't be solved until I'm sure of you-o-ou
You can solve my problems
with a love that's tru-u-e
Problems, problems, problems all day long
Long Time Gone
You cheated me and left me lonely
I tried to be your very
own
There'll be a day you'll want me only
But when I leave, I'll be a long
time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave,
I'll be a long time gone
You're gonna be sad, you're gonna be weepin'
You're gonna
be blue and all alone
You'll regret the day you seen me weepin'
Cause when
I leave, I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
You'll see my face through tears and sorrow
You'll miss the
love you called your own
Baby, there'll be no tomorrow
Cause when I leave,
I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes,
when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
