Midnight and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight you're just a heartache in disguise Won't you keep my heart from breaking if it's only for a very short time
Chorus:
Playing with the queen of hearts knowing it ain't really smart The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie thinking 'bout a life of crime That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you
Honey, you know it makes you mad Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done Baby, I know it makes you sad But when they're handing out the heartaches you know you got to have you some
Chorus:
Lovers, I know you've had a few But hide your heart beneath the covers and tell 'em they're the only one And others, they know just what I'm going through And it's a-hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun
Playing with the queen of hearts knowing it ain't really smart The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Queen Of My Double Wide Trailer Composer(s): Dennis Linde Performer(s): Sammy Kershaw; The Country Dance Kings
Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant She said she was fresh from the farm And I remember thinkin' for a country girl That she went pretty well armed We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank I ordered her a slow gin fizz And when them chicken fried steaks arrived She said I like living like this
So I made her the queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Times she's run off and I've got to trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
Well a few nights later I run into her With some stranger on a park bench She said he rebuilds engines and his name is Earl He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench I whispered honey let's just go on home And have some onion rings and watch TV And as I walked her to the truck Earl was cryin' don't you leave me I told him
This is the queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Sometimes she runs and I've got to trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
I said this is the queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Sometimes she runs and I've got to trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
I said this is the queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Sometimes she runs and I've got to trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

Shake The Hand Of A Fool (French Version: Serre La Main D'un Fou - 1962) Composer(s): Margie Singleton First release by: Titus Turner - 1961
Shake the hand of a fool Oh live by every rule Shake the hand of a man Oh play it in the game of love and lost again
Shake the hand of a fool The world's biggest fool For beleiving you're every world Now I have loneliness and a broken heart
As my (?) world Oh what a fool Yeah to believe all those lies you told to me But how was I to know That you take my love and abuse my heart And let me go
Well shake the hand of a fool The world's biggest fool For beleiving you're every world Now I have loneliness and a broken heart
As my (?) world Oh yeah! I was so proud to call you mine (?) that old time You have broken every rule Just waiting for the chance to play me for a fool
Well shake the hand of a fool Well the world's biggest fool For beleiving you're every world Now I have loneliness and a broken heart
As my (?) world Well shake the hand of a fool Shake the hand of a fool
Now the winter is gone and the summer is come And the meadows and plantings so gay I heard a fair maid so sweetly she sung And her cheeks like the blossoms in May
Young Johnny the plowboy his cheeks like a rose So cheery he sings to the plow And the blackbird and thrush on every green bush And the pretty girl a-milking her cow
As I walked through the fields to take the fresh air And the meadows and plantings so gay I heard a young damsel so sweetiy she sung And her cheeks like the blossoms in May
I says, "Pretty fair maid, oh, how come you are here In this meadow this morning so gay?" This maid she replied, "Sir to gather me some may For the trees they are all now in bloom."
I says, "My pretty fair maid shall I tarry with you In this meadow this morning so gay?" This maid she replied, "Are you so innocent For fear you might lead me astray?"
I took this fair maid by the lily white hand And on the green mossy bank set her down And I planted a kiss on her red ruby lips And the small birds a-singing all around
And when we arose from the green mossy bank Through the meadow we wandered away I had plowed my true love on the green mossy bank And I plucked her a handful of may
And when we arose she gave me a smile And thanked me for what I had done For I planted a kiss on her red ruby lips For believe me those ne'er would I shun
'Twas early next morning I made her my bride That the world would have nothing to say And the bells they shall ring and the bridesmaids shall sing And I'll crown her the queen of the May
Shake That Thing Composer(s): Papa Charlie Jackson Performer(s): Ethel Waters
Down in Georgia, got a dance that's new Ain't nothin' to it, it's easy to do Called 'Shake That Thing' Oh, shake that thing I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now, the old folks start doin' it, the young folks too But the old folks learn the young ones what to do About shakin' that thing Ah, shake that thing I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now, Grandpappy Johnson grabbed Sister Kate He shook her like you shake jelly on a plate How he shook that thing Oh, he shook that thing I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Why, there's old Uncle Jack, the jellyroll king He's got a hump in his back from shakin' that thing Yet, he still shakes that thing For an old man, how he can shake that thing And he never gets tired of tellin' young folks, "Go out and shake that thing"
Now, it ain't no Charleston, ain't no Pigeon Wing Nobody has to give you no lessons, to shake that thing When everybody can shake that thing Oh, I mean, shake that thing I'm gettin' tired of tellin' you how to shake that thing Oooh, oooh, with this kind of music, who wouldn't shake that thing

Bring flowers of the fairest Bring flowers of the rarest From garden and woodland And hillside and vale Our full hearts are swelling Our Glad voices telling The praise of the loveliest Rose of the vale

Our voices ascending, In harmony blending Oh! Thus may our hearts turn Dear Mother, to thee Oh! Thus shall we prove thee How truly we love thee How dark without Mary Life's journey would be
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Virgin most tender Our homage we render Thy love and protection Sweet Mother, to win In danger defend us In sorrow befriend us And shield our hearts From contagion and sin
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
The sun is shining brightly The trees are clothed with green The beauteous bloom of flowers On ev'ry side is seen And all the world is gay For 'tis the month of Mary The lovely month of May
There's music in the heavens For birds are singing there And nature's songs and praises Are sounding through the air With joy we'll sing today For 'tis the month of Mary The lovely month of May
And when night closes o'er us And twinkling stars appear The chaste moon calmly reigneth In skies so bright and clear In heaven far away There reigns o'er saints and angels Our lovely Queen of May
Hail! Virgin, dearest Mary Our lovely Queen of May All spotless blessed Lady Accept our gladsome lay Thy children humbly bending Around thy shrine so fair; With heart and voice ascending Sweet Mary, hear our pray'r
Hail! Mary, sunclad Virgin Our smiling Queen of May All sinless, star-crowned Lady Accept our tuneful lay We've gathered fresh bright flowers To wreath our fair queen's brow From gay and verdant bowers We haste to crown thee now

Queen Of The Silver Dollar Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; and various other artists
She arrives in all her splendor Each night at nine o'clock Her chariot is the crosstown bus That stops right down the block Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar She rules this smokey kingdom Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne Now the jesters flock around her tryin' to win her favors To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home
Now her royal dress is satin It's shabby and it's torn The royal jewels are rhinestones The shoes are scuffed and worn Of the many roads she's been down And the places that she's seen Well they all look at her and say God save the queen
Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar Is not as haughty as she seems She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams But there's a man who found her And he brought her to this world He's the one who made a queen of a simple country girl
Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar I rule this smokey kingdom Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home
Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home
