I Don't Know
Should I let myself go
In his direction
Is his love
strong enough
For my heart's protection
I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know)
But he loves me so good
Til I think I should, oh, oh
If I gave him my heart
Would he refuse it
Would he tear
it apart
Or tenderly use it
I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know)
But he hugs me so tight
Til I think I might, oh, oh
When he crushes my eager lips
My heart starts doing flips
Whenever I feel his touch
I get a thrill that's much too much
Too much,
too much, too much
Could a heart so right
Be led so wrong
If his long is
weak
Would it last this long
I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know)
But I hope and pray
That he comes my way, oh, oh
But I
hope and pray
That he comes my way, oh, oh
But I hope and pray
That he
comes my way, oh, oh
Ill Wait For You
Along about the evening
I feel so blue
And though my
heart is grieving
I'll wait for you
I'm writing you a letter
'Cause our love's so true
Although I'm sad and lonely
I'll wait for you
When the moon was high
And the lights were low
That's
the time when you and I
Said our love would grow
If you ever get the notion
You'll miss me too
Make it in
a hurry
I'll wait for you
'Round 'bout the midnight
I miss you so
So baby, won't
you do right
I'll wait for you
You need my arms around you
To hold you tight
I'll give
you all my lovin'
Both day and night
When the moon is high
And the lights are low
That's the
time when you and I
Know our love will grow
If you ever get the notion
You'll miss me too
Just make
it in a hurry
I'll wait for you
Jack O'Diamonds
I lost my heart to a gambler
Riverboat Dale was his name
He gambled from sunrise til sundown
Jack of Diamonds was his game
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
You brought me misery
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
You stole my love from me
He stacked his chips on the table
He had his gun by his
side
They watched him as he shuffled
But no one saw him hide
He won a thousand dollars
Then he got ready to leave
But
as he picked up his winnings
The Jack fell from his sleeve
They shot him, yes, they shot him
They killed my loving
Dale
And they nailed the Jack of Diamonds
On his lonely grave
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
He brought me misery
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
He stole my love from me
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds...
Looking Back
Looking back over my life
I can see where I caused you
strife
And I know, yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just had a chance
I know, I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
And I know, yes, I know
That I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
And if I just had a chance
I know, I'd never make that same mistake again
I'd never make that same mistake again
I'd never make that
same mistake again
Oh, I'd never make that same mistake again
Shake A Hand
Just leave it to me
Don't ever be ashamed
Just give me a
chance, yes
And I'll take care of everything
Your troubles, I'll share
Let me know and I'll be there
I'll stay close to you
Anyplace and anywhere
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Lord, shake a hand if you can
Be truthful to me
And I'll be truthful to you
I'm in
love with you
And I don't know what to do
So, let's call it a day
I've said all I have to say
Except don't forget to pray
Yes, and shake a hand every day
Shake a hand, shake a hand
(Shake a hand, shake a hand)
Shake a hand, shake a hand
(Shake a hand, shake a hand)
Shake a hand,
shake a hand
(Shake a hand, shake a hand)
Yeah, shake a hand if you can
(Shake a hand, shake a hand)
So Long
So long,
hope we'll meet again some day.
Hope that maybe
then you'll say,
"Darling, I was wrong."
So long,
gee, I hate to see you go.
You're the world to
me you know. You've
been mine so long.
All alone,
with my memories of you.
I can see that
you're lonely too.
You're my own,
even though we're far apart,
I will keep
you right here in my heart.
So long, so long
though you leave me here to cry,
this
can never ever be "goodbye."
We'll just say so long.
Though you leave me here to cry,
this can never ever be
"goodbye."
We'll just say so long.
Lucky Lips
When I was just a little girl
With long, silky curls
My
mama told me, honey
You've got more that other girls
Now, you may not be good looking
But you'll soon wear
diamond clips
And you'll never have to worry
Cause you've got lucky lips
Lucky lips are always kissing
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
A pair of lips that will be true
I don't need a four leaf clover
Rabbits foot or good luck
charm
With lucky lips I'll always have
A fellow in my arms
(With lucky lips I'll always have
A fellow in my arms)
I never get heartbroken
No, I'll never get the blues
And
if I play that game of love
I know I just can't lose
When they spin that wheel of fortune
All I do is kiss my
chips
And I know I picked a winner
Cause I've got lucky lips
Lucky lips are always kissing
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
A pair of lips that will be true
I don't need a four leaf clover
Rabbits foot or good luck
charm
With lucky lips I'll always have
A fellow in my arms
With lucky lips I'll always have
A fellow in my arms
