Sweet Violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets
There once was a farmer who took a young miss
In back of the barn where he gave her a lecture
On horses and chickens and eggs
And told her that she had such beautiful
Manners that suited a girl of her charms
A girl that he wanted to take in his
Washing and ironing and then if she did
They could get married and raise lots of
Sweet violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets
The girl told the farmer that he'd better stop
And she call her father and he called a
Taxi and got there before very long
'Cause some one was doin' his little girl
Right for a change and so that's why he said
If you marry her son, you're better off single
'Cause it's always been my belief
Marriage will bring a man nothing but
Sweet Violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets
The farmer decided he wed anyway
And started in planning for his wedding
Suit which he purchased for only one buck
But then he found out he was just out of
Money and so he got left in the lurch
A standin' and waitin' in front of the
End of the story which just goes to show
All a girl wants from a man is his
Sweet Violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets
Sweet Violets

Sweet Thing Composer(s): Van Morrison First release by: Van Morrison - 1968
And I will stroll the merry way And jump the hedges first And I will drink the clear Clean water for to quench my thirst And I shall watch the ferry-boats And they'll get high On a bluer ocean Against tomorrow's sky And I will never grow so old again And I will walk and talk In gardens all wet with rain
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing My, my, my, my, my sweet thing And I shall drive my chariot Down your streets and cry 'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite And I don't know why' And you shall take me strongly In your arms again And I will not remember That I even felt the pain. We shall walk and talk In gardens all misty and wet with rain And I will never, never, never Grow so old again.
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing My, my, my, my, my sweet thing And I will raise my hand up Into the night time sky And count the stars That's shining in your eye Just to dig it all an' not to wonder That's just fine And I'll be satisfied Not to read in between the lines And I will walk and talk In gardens all wet with rain And I will never, ever, ever, ever Grow so old again. Oh sweet thing, sweet thing Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes And your saint-like smile....

Sweet Thang Composer(s): Nat Stuckey First release by: Nat Stuckey - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hair And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me When she finds that I'm not there And if she catches her sweet thang runnin' around I know there'll be the devil to pay She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door And I can hear exactly what she'll say Well has anybody here see sweet thang I got a notion he'll be headed this a way Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around He finds a sandbox like this to play I wanna tell all you barroom roses if my sweet thang does have a bite You'd better take my advice and if you'll blink more than twice You'd better have somethin' in your eyes
I gave my baby all my money on payday except a little she don't know that I got Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe And she seems to like me quite a lot While we were sittin' in the back booth a havin' a talk She believed in every word that I said When the door blew open Loretta walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead Well has anybody here see sweet thang... You'd better take my advice...

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

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
