There stands the glass that will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain, it's my first one today
There stands the glass that will hide all my fears
That will drown all my tears, brother, I'm on my way
I'm wondering where you are tonight, I'm wondering if you are alright
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass, fill it up to the brim
Until my troubles grow dim, it's my first one today
I'm wondering where you are tonight, I'm wondering if you are alright
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass, fill it up to the brim
Until my troubles grow dim, it's my first one today

Wondering, wondering who's kissing you
Wondering, wondering if you're wondering too
Every hour through the day since you've been away
I keep wondering, yes, wondering if you're wondering too
I pray every night to the good Lord above
To send back to me, the one I really love
Wondering, wondering who's kissing you
Wondering, wondering if you're wondering too
Every hour through the day since you've been away
I keep wondering, yes, wondering if you're wondering too
I pray every night to the good Lord above
To send back to me, the one I really love

He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
I had a friend named Rambling Bob who used to steal gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse way downtown
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man in town
She started to call me honey she started to spend my money
And we took in every honky tonk in town
We're in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice to quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now

You're not mine anymore but I'm still paying for
Just a note from you to say you've changed your mind
Now I know you say we're through but I'm still in love with you
And it's my fault that you're not mine anymore
If you don't ever change your mind to take me back again
I hope you meet someone that's true and fall in love with him
Since the day you said we're through, I'm even more in love with you
And it's my fault that you're not mine anymore
If you don't ever change your mind to take me back again
I hope you meet someone that's true and fall in love with him
Since the day you said we're through, I'm even more in love with you
And it's my fault that you're not mine anymore

Slowly, I'm falling more in love with you
And slowly, you're winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly, I'm falling more in love with you
More and more, I need you and want you by my side
More and more, I love you as each day passes by
My heart, I know you're stealing, I hope that you'll be true
For slowly, I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly, I'm falling more in love with you
And slowly, you're winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly, I'm falling more in love with you

(Michael Webb and Cindy Walker)
Now, I don't care if I'm not the first love you've known,
Just so I'll be the last.
No, I don't care if I'm not the first one you've kissed,
Darling, I'll never ask.
Yesterday's gone,
Love me from now on.
Be true to me,
Forget about the past.
No, I don't care if I'm not the first love you've known,
Just so I'll be the last.
[Instrumental break]
Yesterday's gone,

Just so I'll be the last.
Darling, I'll never ask.

You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your place
'Cause they call our love a back street affair
They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue
Yes they call our love a back street affair
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
Oh the judgment of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong
Let them call our love a back street affair
We'll be free for love someday when all the talk is dead away
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high and then the world will hear me cry
That our love is not a back street affair

More and more, I'm forgetting the past, more and more
I'm living at last, day by day
I'm losing my blues, more and more
I'm forgettin' 'bout you
But oh, how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh, how I cried, the day we said goodbye
Day by day, I'm losing my blues, more and more
I'm forgettin' 'bout you
But oh, how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh, how I cried, the day we said goodbye

From old Montana down to Alabam'
I've been before and I'll travel again
You triflin' women can't keep a good man down
You dealt the cards, but you missed the play
So hit the road and be on your way
Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town
I was a good engine a-runnin' on time
But baby I'm switchin' to another line
So honey never hang your signal out for me
I'm tired of runnin' on the same old track
Bought a one-way ticket and I won't be back
This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away
Hear that lonesome whistle blow
That's your cue and by now you know
That I got another true lover waitin' in Tennessee
This Midnight Special's a-burnin' the rail
So woman don't try to follow my trail
This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away
Hear her thunder on through the night
This Golden Rocket is a-doin' me right
And that sunny old Southland sure is a part of me
Now from your call-board erase my name
Your fire went out, you done lost your flame
And this Golden Rocket is a-rollin' my blues away
That old conductor, he seemed to know
You'd done me wrong, I was feelin' low
For he yelled aloud, we're over that Dixon Line
The brakeman started singing a song
Said you're worried now, but it won't be long
This Golden Rocket is leavin' your blues behind
Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl
Let's rise and shine good mornin' you all
And I sprang to my feet to greet the newborn day
When I kissed my baby in the station door
That whistle blew like it never before
On the Golden Rocket that rolled my blues away

I was totin' my pack along the long, dusty Winnamucka Road
When along came a semi with a high canvas-covered load
If your goin' to Winnamucka, Mack with me, you can ride

He asked me, if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, listen, I've traveled every road in this here land

When i lost my baby, I almost lost my mind
When i lost my baby, I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since she left me behind
I passed a million people but can't tell who I meet
I passed a million people, I can't tell who i meet
'Cause my eyes are full of tears; where can my baby be?
I went to the Gypsy and had my fortune read
I went to see a Gypsy, I had my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said
Well, I can tell you, people, the news was not so good
Well, I can tell you, people, the news was not so good
She said, "Your baby has quit you, this time she's gone for good"
{spoken): Bye, baby ...

Have you ever been down to Haiti
when the summer sun was sinkin' low
There's nothing but romance just everwhere you glance
And the native hearts are all aglow
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
They all stare like a statue out of stone
When they realize what's before their eyes
the other girls are left all alone
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
And from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
Up in a tree so high way up in the sky
sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
just to try to be like him
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
that makes a heart feel so sublime
And before too long he starts singing the song
and then he gets in the Conga line
[ ac.guitars ]
Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest
part of the Caribbean
He didn't see the charms and the open arms
it was the gold that he was seein'
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed
cause we're on our honeymoon
I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this
but you were five hundred years too soon
Down in the Caribbean...

My troubled old heart dear is beating with pain,
You've gone and I know I'm the one who's to blame,
You've gone in the world to make a new start,
And left as a mem'ry your brand on my heart.
They say you were crying while packing your things
And left me your locket and bright golden rings,
The plans for your future I've broken apart
Now all I have left is your brand on my heart.
You say you were sorry it ended this way
And that I'll find someone to love me someday,
Another to cherish the love you once knew,
But darling that someone can only be you.
The flowers you planted, that rose you loved best
Its soft velvet petals are now closed in death
The birds have hushed singing, it all plays a part
To deepen the wound of your brand on my heart.
I'm appealing to you for forgiveness today
For all of your tears darling I've had to pay,
If you'll just forgive me we'll make a new start
And no more will I carry your brand on my heart.
. . .

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
When we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on
Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on
I've told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on
You've switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin on
But someday baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on
. . .

Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you?
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darlin' I can dream on it too
Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darlin' I can dream on it too
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a memory's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darlin' I can dream on it too

It don't hurt anymore
All my teardrops are dried
No more walkin' the floor
With that burnin' inside
Just to think it could be
Time has opened the door
And at last I am free
I don't hurt anymore
(Chorus)
No use to deny I wanted to die
The day you said we were thru
But now that I find you're out of my mind
I can't believe that it's true
I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
And it's wonderful now
I don't hurt anymore
(Repeat Chorus)
. . .

Pardon me, if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I'll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
