Sweeter Than Candy Composer(s): Carl Perkins Performer(s): Carl Perkins
With a dirty nose pressed hard against the window Of a candy store one day A ragged little girl stood barefoot While the hurried crowd went madly on their way
One lady stopped and smiled; she said, "I think I'll go inside And would you like to come along with me?" Then behind that dirty face, she saw a smile that made her day They just don't make candy that sweet
Then she bought some shoes for her little feet Then dressed her up fit for a queen And with a smile that came from heaven She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you" With an angel twinkle in her eyes She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you And Boy, I sure look pretty" And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"
Are we walkin' too fast to see A barefoot child on a lonely street Are we rushin' by the ones in need Or will some child play for you and me
With a smile that came from heaven She said, "Ma'am", I sure do love you" With an angel twinkle in her eyes She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you And boy, I sure look pretty" And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you And boy, I sure look pretty" And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"
You'll Never Know Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Warren Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; and various other artists
You'll never know just how much I miss you You'll never know just how much I care And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you You ought to know, for haven't I told you so A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you I speak your name in my every prayer If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now
(You went away and my heart went with you I speak your name in my every prayer) If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now
Sweetblood Call Composer(s): Louisiana Red - Kent Cooper Performer(s): Louisiana Red; Eric Burdon; Willie Murphy
I have a hard time missing you baby, with my pistol in your mouth Mmmm have a hard time missing you baby, with my pistol in your mouth You may be thinking 'bout going north, but your brains are staying south
Just roll your pretty eyes, if you intend to stay Just roll your pretty eyes, if you intend to stay Close 'em up again, and I blow your world away
I see your eyes are rollin' Must mean your love for me has come back Must mean you're satisfied again With our little wooden country shack
I have a hard time missing you baby With my pistol in your mouth You may be thinking about going north woman, But your brains are staying south
Even if you sneak away I'll find you before nightfall You're tied to me girl I can feel your sweetblood call
Even if you sneak away I'll find you before nightfall Caused you are tied to me girl I can feel your sweetblood call
You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)
You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart) Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick; and various other artists
Mother told me always to follow the golden rule And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel So remember if you're untrue Angels up in heaven are looking at you
(Chorus) You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart so be very careful not to make us part You won't get to heaven if you break my heart ...
I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around Though I don't believe what I hear, still it get's me down If you ever should say goodbye I'd feel so awful the angels would cry
Chorus
(if you break my heart, If you break my heart)
I can hardly wait for the day when we say I do It's a day i dreamed of so long now comin' true You will promise to cherish me If you break your promise the angels will see
Sweet Young Thing Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King - Michael Nesmith The Monkees; Western Electric
Know that something very strange Is happening to my brain I'm either feeling very good Or else I am insane The seeds of doubt you planted Have started to grow wild But feel that I must yield before The wisdom of a child
And it's love you bring No that I can't deny With your wings I can learn to fly Sweet young thing
People try to talk to me Their words are ugly sounds But I resist all their attempts To try and bring me down.. Turned on to the sunset Like I've never done before And I listen for your footsteps And your know upon the door
And it's love you bring With dreams of bluer skies All these things When I seem them in your eyes Sweet young thing

You'll never be mine again Guess I've known it since, don't know when I've just been pretending I know I can't win

Sweet was my Rose in the light of the rising sun
Never forget her, gave her life for everyone
Sweet was my Rose in the light of the rising sun
Never forget her, gave her life for everyone
On the day that I recall was a bright and sunny dawn
And we hadnt seen a yankee since a week
Before the summer storm
So, mother said to sister Rose:
I guess, its safe to take a horse
Get out and try to find your Dad and uncle Ben
Though I protested, she said
Hush your mouth! Your sisters going! Youre too young!
She rose out and I never saw my sister Rose again
Well, as I hear tell that fateful morn
She rose to Shannon Creek
To make enquiries after Pa and uncle Ben
And from there she rose to Shannon Valley and from afar
She saw Pa and uncle Ben looked less alive than dead!
There was Pa with his arms awaving to warn her
But too late them damn yankees caught her
Rose was shouting: Get out Pa and save your own skin
Well, Rose, she was never seen again
And Pas made up a kinda headstone round the back of the house
I took it upon myself to carve this inscription

Wadin' through the waste stormy winter And there's not a friend to help you through Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues

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 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 Me In The Kitchen At Parties Composer(s): Jona Lewie; K. Trussell Performer(s): Jona Lewie
I'm no good at chatting up and I always get rebuffed Enough to drive a man to drink I don't do no washing up I always reached the stuff piled up a-piled up in the sink
But you will always find him in the kitchen at parties
Me and my girlfriend we argued and she ran away from home She must have found somebody new and now I'm all alone
Living in my own. What am I supposed to do?
That's why always find him in kitchen at parties you will always find him in the kitchen at parties You will always find him in the kitchen at parties
Then I met this debutante I said I like new wave rock She was into french cuisine but I ain't no cordon bleu This was at some do in palmers green I had no luck with her
You will still find him in kitchen at parties You will still find him in kitchen at parties
At last I met a pretty girl she laughed and talked with me We both walked out of the kitchen and dnaced in a new way
And now I've done my time in the kitchen at parties I've done my time in the kitchen at parties
He's done his time in the kitchen at parties He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
