1.Tennessee Waltz

Written:Redd Stewart/Pee Wee King

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

REPEAT ALL


2.Detour

Lyrics:Paul Westmoreland
Music:Paul Westmoreland

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find,
Should have read
That detour sign

Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed
Because of me not knowin', I now pine
Trouble got in the trail, spent the next 5 years in jail
Should have read (should have read) that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find,
Should have read
That detour sign

When I got right to the place where it said 'About Face'
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go, more sorrow I know
Should have read (should have read)
That detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find,
Should have read
That detour sign

When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine
Have no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read (should have read) that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find,
Should have read
That detour sign

Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign (that detour sign)


3.Changing Partners

Lyrics:Joe Darion
Music:Larry Coleman

We were waltzin' together to a dreamy melody
When they called out 'Change partners'
And you waltzed away from me
Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze around the floor
And I'll keep on changing partners
Till I hold you once more

Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment somethin' happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again

Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment somethin' happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again


4.With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming

Lyrics:Mack Gordon
Music:Harry Revel

With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Can it be true I'm holding you close to my heart?
With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
You're with me now sharing a vow never to part

I'm so afraid to close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
This lovely thrill
Is just a silly illusion

With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine

MONOLOGUE:Darlin' with my eyes wide open I'm dreamin' ! Can it
be true that I'm holdin'
you so close to my heart? Ya know with my eyes wide open I'm
dreamin' ! You're here with
me now make the vow that we'd never part. I'm so afraid to close
my eyes! I'm afraid that I'll
wake and find that all this dreamin' is just a silly illusion!

With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine


5.Wasn't It Good


6.I Cried

Lyrics:Michael Elias/Billy Duke
Music:Michael Elias/Billy Duke

It was winter when you told me you were leavin'
I cried, I cried, I cried 'Please, don't go'
Came the springtime with its love song so deceivin'
I cried, oh, how I cried, no one will know

Then the summer came and went with no word at all
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall

Wintertime, summertime, spring and fall, it's true
I'll always be cryin' over you


I cried, I cried, I cried 'Please, don't go'

Yes, I cried, oh, how I cried, no one will know

Then the summer came and went with no word at all
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall


It was winter when you told me you were leavin'
I cried, I cried, I cried 'Please, don't go'
Came the springtime with its love song so deceivin'
I cried, oh, how I cried, no one will know

Then the summer came and went with no word at all
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall

Wintertime, summertime, spring and fall, it's true
I'll always be crying over you, sweetheart
I'll always be crying over you


7.Allegheny Moon

Lyrics:Dick Manning/Al Hoffman
Music:Dick Manning/Al Hoffman

Allegheny Moon I need your light
To help me find romance tonight
So shine, shine, shine
Allegheny Moon your silver beams
Can lead the way to golden dreams
So shine, shine, shine

High among the stars so bright above
The magic of your lamp of love can make him mine
Allegheny Moon it up to you
Please see what you can do
For me and for my one and only love

Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine

High among the stars so bright above
The magic of your lamp of love can make him mine
Allegheny Moon it up to you
Please see what you can do
For me and for my one and only love

Shine on me tonight, Allegheny Moon


8.A Poor Man's Roses(Or A Rich Man's Gold)

I must make up my mind today;
What to have, what to hold:
A poor man's roses,
Or a rich man's gold

One's as wealthy as a king in a palace,
Though he's callous and cold.
He may learn to give his heart for love,
Instead of buying it with gold.

Then the poor man's roses,
And the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss.

And yet the hand that brings a rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold.
For the rose of love means more to me
Than any rich man's gold.

Then the poor man's roses
And the thrill when we kiss (when we kiss)
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss.

And yet the hand that brings a rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold.
For the rose of love means more to me
Than any rich man's go-o-o-o-old
Than any rich man's gold.


9.Mama From the Train

Lyrics:Irving Gordon
Music:Irving Gordon

Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
Wave mama from the train a goodbye
Throw mama from the train a kiss a kiss
And don't cry, my baby, don't cry

How I miss that sweet lady with her old-country touch
Miss her quaint broken English called *Pennsylvania Dutch*
I can still see her there at the station that day
Calling out to her baby as the train pulled away

Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
Dry mama all your tears, won't you try?
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
And eat mama up all her pie

Can't believe that she's gone now, it's a lonely old town
Yet I know that her heavenly love keeps looking down
'cause whenever I happen to be passing through
I could swear she was there with the warmth I once knew

And I
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
Wave mama from the train a goodbye
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
And she throws one back from up high


10.Most People Get Married

Lyrics:Earl Shuman
Music:Leon Carr

When the kisses get so long that you can't catch your breath
And the huggin' gets so strong that it's gotcha scared to death
Most people get married (married)
That's what they do-o-o
Most people get married (married)
And that's what I wanna do with you

When you only wanna walk (let's walk) together
Only wanna talk (let's talk) together
Only wanna touch (let's touch) too much
You never wanna say 'Good night'

Most people get married (married)
That's what they do-o-o
I-I-I wanna get married (married)
An' I only wanna do it to you

When you light up like a flame each time your baby calls
And the way he says your name has gotcha climbin' walls
Most people get married (married)
That's what they do-o-o
Most people get married (married)
And that's what I wanna do with you

When you're feelin' in your heart (doo-wop), what I feel
Reelin' in your heart (doo-wop) like I reel
An' you wanna shout (you shout) 'Look out,
Somethin's gotta give tonight'

Most people get married (married)
That's what they do-o-o
I-I-I wanna get married (married)
An' I only wanna do it to you

I-I-I wanna get married
An' I hope you wanna do it, too


11.Once In A While

Written:Michael Edwards/Bud Green

Once in a while will you try to give one little thought to me
Though someone else maybe nearer your heart

Once in a while will you dream of the moments I shared with you,
Moments before we two drifted apart.

In love's smoldering ember, one spark may remain,
If love still can remember the spark may burn again.

I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me once in a while.
