Sweet Tequila Blues Composer(s): Chip Taylor Performer(s): Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez
I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it If I get close to it just put me on a train And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town I got them sweet tequila blues comin' down
I knew a man with money in his hand He'd look that Jack of Diamonds in the eye Place it on the four an' let the seven close the door Take all them chips and lay right down and cry
An' I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it If I get close to it just put me on a train And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down
Take it Jock
Here comes Carrie
An' I knew a girl who thought she had the world With a slightly racing Spanish lullaby When her dream came into town she threw the whole damn thing around Some Texas girls just love to say goodbye
An' I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it If I get close to it just put me on a train And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down
We'll break it now
Now here's one for the ladies Baby, where is my Mercedes? Girl, I'm waitin' for the ribbons and the bows Just keep me guessin'; oh baby, I'm confessin' I know, you want two of them and three of those
An' I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it If I get close to it just put me on a train And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town I got them sweet tequila blues comin' down
Texas blues
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town I got them sweet tequila blues comin' down Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down
You'll Always Find A Lot Of Sunshine In My Old Kentucky Home
You'll Always Find A Lot Of Sunshine In My Old Kentucky Home Composer(s): Lew Brown; Rubey Cowan
Oh! the blues have flown away because I'm going home today To Kentucky I'll be lucky when I'm back again Oh! the humming of the bees, and the birdies in the trees Make me happy, oh, so happy with their melodies
Oh! I rise at early morn and help to plow the fields of corn Then I wander 'way down yonder to my sweetie Sue All the boys around the farm, how they rave about her charm They're so jealous, oh, so jealous when she's holding my arm
You'll always find a lot of sunshine, in my old Kentucky home In the southern atmosphere All your worries disappear You hear the darkies 'neath the trees, playing old time melodies And they croon a little tune of my old Kentucky home You'll always find a lot of sunshine, when my dear old mother's near My sweetie Sue she's just a little bunch of sunshine, too And if you go down there midst all that splendor Stop! Look! I know you'll surrender, to the sunshine of my old Kentucky home

A gypsy wind is blowing warm tonight The sky is starlit and the time is right And still you're tellin' me you have to go Before you leave there's something you should know Yeah something you should know babe
I've seen you smiling in the summer sun I've seen your long hair flying when you run I've rnade my mind up that it's meant to be Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Some people say that love's a losin' game You start with fire but you lose the flame The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone You end up cold and lonely on your own
I'll take my chances babe I'II risk it all I'll win your love or I'II take the fall I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
It's written down some where, it's not to be You're high above me flyin' wild and free Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Out where the rivers meetthe sounding sea I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

You'd Better Come Home Composer(s): Georges Aber; Tony Hatch Performer(s): Petula Clark
You'd better come home and stop your running around You'd better come home and get your feet on the ground 'cause I won't share my love with anyone new
You'd better be smart, you've gotta make up your mind Stop breaking my heart and leave the others behind 'cause I won't share my love whatever I do
The love that I give for as long as I live will be yours And nothing can change the way that I feel So, baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me) Baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me) Love me like you did before
You'd better come home and see the damage you've done You'd better come home because you've had all your fun And I won't share my love with anyone new No-oh-no
The love that I give for as long as I live will be yours And nothing can change the way that I feel So, baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me) Baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me) Love me like you did before
You'd better come home and see the damage you've done You'd better come home because you've had all your fun And I won't share my love with anyone new No-oh-no
You'd Be Surprised Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe; and various other artists
Johnny was bashful and shy, nobody understood why Mary loved him, all the other girls passed him by Every one wanted to know how she could pick such a beau With a twinkle in her eye, she made this reply
He's not so good in a crowd, but when you get him alone You'd be surprised He isn't much at a dance, but then when he takes you home You'd be surprised He doesn't look like much of a lover, but don't judge a book by it's cover He's got the face of an Angel, but there's a Devil in his eyes He's such a delicate thing but when he starts in to squeeze You'd be surprised He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee You'd be surprised At a party or at a ball I've got to admit he's nothing at all, but in a Morris chair You'd be surprised
Mary continued to praise Johnny's remarkable ways To the ladies, and you know advertising pays Now Johnny's never alone, he has the busiest phone Almost every other day a new girl will say
He's not so good in the house, but on a bench in the park You'd be surprised He isn't much in the light, but when he gets in the dark You'd be surprised I know he looks as slow as the Erie, but you don't know the half of it dearie He looks as cold as an Eskimo, but there's fire in his eyes He doesn't say very much, but when he starts in to speak You'd be surprised He's not so good at the start, but at the end of a week You'd be surprised On a streetcar or in a train, you'd think he was born without any brain But in a taxi cab, and when he starts to grab, I say in a taxi cab You'd be surprised This one's a real danger!

As sung by Johnny Ray:
He's not so good in a crowd But when you get him alone You'd be surprised He isn't much at a dance But then when he takes you home You'd be surprised He doesn't look like much of a lover But don't judge a book by it's cover He's got the face of an angel but There's a devil in his eye He's such a delicate thing But when he starts to squeeze You'd be surprised He doesn't look very strong But when you sit on his knees You'd be surprised At a party or at a ball I've got to admit he's nothing at all But in an easy chair You'd be surprised
Love Is Such A Sweet Surprise Composer(s): C. Goodman - M.A. Kennedy - P. Rose Performer(s): Telly Savalas
Do you know how wonderful you are
It pleases me so to have this chance to show you In my dreams I've never been this far
They were only fantasies of what I thought love should be Love is lonely learning low to care
To care enough to take the time to share And just when I thought that love had passed me by
I saw me smiling in your eyes Love is such a sweet surprise I didn't know what I was searchin' for
I tried so hard to find what came so easy Love's a gift you give and you'll get more A magic shared by two and I would like to thank you Love is a lonely learning how to care
And just when I thought that love had passed me by
I saw me smiling in your eyes Love is such a sweet surprise
