Little sister, don't you Little sister, don't you Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice And say it's very nice and then you run Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done
Well I dated your big sister And I took her to the show I went for some candy Along came Jim Dandy And they snuck right out the door
Little sister, don't you Little sister, don't you Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice And say it's very nice and then you run Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done
Everytime I see your sister Well she's got somebody new She's mean and she's evil Like a little old boll weevil Guess I'll try my love with you, ah
Little sister, don't you Little sister, don't you Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice And say it's very nice and then you run Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done
Well, I used to pull your pigtails And pinch your turned up nose But you've been a-growin' And baby it's been showin' From your head down to your toes
Little sister, don't you Little sister, don't you Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice And say it's very nice and then you run Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Little Pal, if Daddy Goes away Promise you'll be good from day to day Do as Mother says and never sin Be the man your Daddy might have been Your Daddy didn't have an easy start So this is the wish that's in my heart
What I couldn't be, Little Pal I want you to be, Little Pal I want you to laugh and to sing and to play And be good to Mother while Daddy's away
Each night how I'll pray, Little Pal That you'll turn out right, Little Pal So till we meet again Heaven knows where or when Pray for me now and then, Little Pal
Makin' Up And Breakin' Up Composer(s): Jimmy Holvay Performer(s): The Buckinghams
Ever since I gave you my ring, girl We just don't seem, seem to get along One day we're so, so in love, girl The next day it's all gone
I know I love you, girl, and I know you care Why can't we stick together, girl? 'Cause it just ain't fair (just ain't fair) No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair) No it just ain't fair
To our hearts, girl (just ain't fair) To keep them apart, girl (just ain't fair) No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair) No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair) So let's stop makin' up and breakin' up and makin' up again Let's live our lives while we can (Together) while we can (Together) while we can
One day we're so, so in love, girl The next day it's all gone
I know I love you, girl, and I know you care Why can't we stick together, girl? 'Cause it just ain't fair (just ain't fair) No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair) No it just ain't fair
If You Could Touch Her At All
Composer(s): Lee Clayton
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
and multiple other artists
Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none
Lord, I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She can be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all
Right or wrong a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
Then leave him as weary and weak as a newborn child
Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes
One night of love...
Makin' The Best Of A Bad Situation Composer(s): Dick Feller Performer(s): Dick Feller; Ray Stevens; Tom Jones
Now, I know a man, he's a hard workin' man He gets up real early, and he goes down town And about fifteen minutes after he's been gone There's a big milk truck pulls up on the lawn And that milkman rushes up to the door Where that man's wife is waitin' in a kimono And she plants a big ol' kiss on his cheek and they go inside And that truck never moves for an hour or two
Well it's none of my business One day I called him aside and told him what was goin' on While he was gone And he said, "Well I guess that's so, but do you know We're never outta' milk or cottage cheese or yogurt, ice cream, or none of them other cowy things"
I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation Don't wanta make waves, can't you see He's just makin' the best of a bad situation Reckon I'd do the same if it was me
Now I know a man, he's an educated man He's an alligator wrestler He jumps right in there and grabs them long green boogers By whatever you grab them long green boogers by... Well, one day he's got a full Nelson on this big alligator When this other alligator sneaks up and bites his right ear plumb off Didn't bat an eye, just crawled off in the shade and went to sleep The alligator not the man
Well, it's none of my business One day I said, "Well, it's sure too bad about that little accident that you had 'Cause now your hat's gonna fall down over your eyes And you can't ever be gypsy 'Cause you don't have no place to wear a gold earring" He just looked me right straight in the eye and said, "Huh?"
I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation Don't wanna make waves, can't you see He's just makin' the best of a bad situation Reckon I'd do the same if it was me
Now I know a lady, she's a mighty fine lady Got a heart of gold, she wouldn't harm a fly She's just tryin' to get by and keep her house in order But you know that her husband He worked so hard that he come unglued He come unwrapped, he just snapped, thinks he's a chicken That's right, one of them cackling Colonel Sanders' types He roosts in the bush by the side of the house
Well it's none of my business but one day I said "Have you ever thought about findin' him a doctor who could make him well" And she said "Well, I have now and then, but then again He don't eat much, just chickenfeed And all that peckin' in the ground don't hurt nothin' Heaven knows, we can use the eggs"
I guess she's makin' the best of a bad situation Don't wanna make waves, can't you see She's just makin' the best of a bad situation Reckon I'd do the same if it was me
We're all just makin' the best of a bad situation We're all in this together you and me

Little One Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Bing Crosby
Little one, what should I do? I just can't make any headway with you
Little one, I was so gloomy Felt that life sure would undo me till, one night, you happened to me My little one
Little one, no controversy You're my downfall, you're my Circe I'm a good guy, show me mercy My little one I have such love for you Our future could be Heaven above for you And paradise for me Little one, fate might miscarry Little one, why do you tarry? Little one, when may I marry you My little one?
Each night I'm lonely by the fireside Alone with an aching heart As I held in my arms The dearest of charms Just a little old rag doll Yet the mem'ries it brings Of days that are gone Fills my heart with regret For the court has decreed That they take you from me All I have is your little rag doll
Just a little old rag doll, dear That you held in your baby arms As you played 'round my knee My darling of three With your little old rag doll Just a doll
Each night as I lay on my pillow In dreams I see your blue eyes You are smiling at me My precious of three Holding your little rag doll When you grow up To be a lady so grand Some man's sweet loving wife O, be true just to him And then I'll be content All alone with your little rag doll
Maker Of Islands Composer(s): Mike Heron Performer(s): The Incredible String Band
I do my job and it's pleasing to me I'm getting so I can sail upon the roughest sea On the roughest sea I do alright But when my work is over and done I get to being a lonely one
I need someone to take the wheel at night And someone to navigate 'til light comes But most of all I need a maker of islands Rested in the golden sunlight where the seas are kind She could make me islands for my peace of mind
If I could only see her Look into her eyes Then I'd lie easy I'd lie easy I'd lie easy In my soul
Little Old Lady Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Stanley Adams Performer(s): Ray Noble and multiple other artists

A Little More Time Composer(s): Harlan Howard Performer(s): Harlan Howard
(With only a little more time)
Every once in a while there's someone Whose life is like a comet flashin' across the sky Men of great talent with things to tell us And it seems like all too soon those kinds seem to die Now Stephen Foster was one of these gifted people His down to earth songs turned the whole world on But then like most people who are sent here on a mission All too soon young Stephen was gone
A little more time a little more time Oh the songs he might have wrote Tender words and pretty notes With only a little more time
Another man I feel was sent here on a mission was John F. Kennedy A man loved and respected by I guess just about everyone And I suppose we were all guilty of takin' him for granted His love for humanity and the many fine things that he done Now he wanted this to be a better world But all too soon this great man died And as we gathered around our radios that afternoon The whole world stopped a little while and it cried
A little more time a little more time So much to do so little done But the victories he might have won With only a little more time
And looking back down the pages of history The greatest influence for good there ever was Jesus In spite of all the obstacles in his path Look at the legacy of hope that he gave us And as I look around me at those who live by his teachings And bless the day of his birth I can't help but feel this would be a whole lot better world If he could have spent a little more time on this earth
A little more time a little more time Peace on earth might really be Today if only he Just had a little more time
