KEY: A
TODAY I PASSED YOU ON THE STREET
AND MY HEART FELL AT YOUR FEET
I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
SOMEBODY ELSE WAS BY YOUR SIDE
AND SHE LOOKED SO SATISFIED
I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
A PICTURE FROM THE PAST CAME SLOWLY STEALING
AS I BRUSHED YOUR ARM AND STOOD SO CLOSE TO YOU
SUDDENLY I GOT THAT OLD TIME FEELING
I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
(FIRST SECTION--INSTRUMENTAL)
IT'S HARD TO KNOW ANOTHER'S LIPS HAVE KISSED YOU
AND HELD YOU CLOSE THE WAY I USED TO DO
HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS HOW MUCH I MISS YOU
I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
NO I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

Lovesick Blues
KEY: C
I'VE GOT A FEELING CALLED THE BLUES
OH LORD SINCE MY BABY SAID GOOD-BYE
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO
ALL I DO IS SIT AND SIGH OH LORD
THAT LAST LONG DAY HE SAID GOOD-BYE
OH LORD I THOUGHT I WOULD CRY
HE'LL DO ME HE'LL DO YOU
HE'S GOT THAT KIND OF LOVING
LORD I LOVE TO HEAR HIM WHEN HE CALLS ME SWEET BABY
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DREAM
I HATE TO THINK IT'S ALL OVER I LOST MY HEART IT SEEMS
I'VE GROWN SO USED TO YOU SOMEHOW
I'M NOBODY'S SUGAR BABY NOW
I'M LONESOME I'VE GOT THE LOVESICK BLUES
HEY I'M IN LOVE I'M IN LOVE WITH A WONDERFUL GUY
THAT'S WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ME
HEY I'M IN LOVE I'M IN LOVE WITH A WONDERFUL GUY
AND HE DON'T CARE 'BOUT ME
OH LORD I TRIED AND I TRIED TO KEEP HIM SATISFIED
BUT THAT MAN WOULDN'T STAY
AND NOW THAT HE IS LEAVING THIS IS ALL I CAN SAY

Kawliga
KAWLIGA WAS A WOODEN INDIAN STANDING BY THE DOOR
HE FELL IN LOVE WITH AN INDIAN MAIDEN OVER IN THE ANTIQUE STORE
KAW - LI - GA
JUST STOOD THERE AND NEVER LET IT SHOW
SO SHE COULD NEVER ANSWER YES OR NO
HE ALWAYS WORE HIS SUNDAY FEATHERS AND HELD A TOMAHAWK
THE MAIDEN WORE HER BEADS AND BRAIDS AND HOPED SOME DAY HE'D TALK
KAW - LI - GA
TOO STUBBORN TO EVER SHOW A SIGN
BECAUSE HIS HEART WAS MADE OF KNOTTY PINE
POOR OL' KAW - LI - GA, HE NEVER GOT A KISS
POOR OL' KAW - LI - GA, HE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE MISSED
IS IT ANY WONDER THAT HIS FACE IS RED
KAW - LI - GA, THAT POOR OL' WOODEN HEAD
KAWLIGA WAS A WOODEN INDIAN, NEVER WENT NOWHERE
HIS HEART WAS SET ON THE INDIAN MAIDEN WITH THE COAL BLACK HAIR
KAW - LI - GA
JUST STOOD THERE AND NEVER LET IT SHOW
SO SHE COULD NEVER ANSWER YES OR NO
AND THEN ONE DAY A WEALTHY CUSTOMER BOUGHT THE INDIAN MAID
AND TOOK HER OH SO FAR AWAY BUT OL KAW - LI - GA STAYED
KAW - LI - GA
JUST STANDS THERE AS LONELY AS CAN BE
AND WISHES HE WAS STILL AN OLD PINE TREE
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
KEY: D
DID YOU HEAR THAT LONESOME WHIPOORWILL
HE SOUNDS TO BLUE TO FLY
THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN IS WHINING LOW
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY
I'VE NEVER SEEN A NIGHT SO LONG
WHEN TIME GOES CRAWLING BY
THE MOON JUST WENT BEHIND A CLOUD
TO HIDE HIS FACE AND CRY
DID YOU EVER SEE A ROBIN WEEP
WHEN LEAVES BEGIN TO DIE
THAT MEANS HE'S LOST THE WILL TO LIVE
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY
THE SILENCE OF A FALLING STAR
LIGHTS UP A PURPLE SKY
AND AS I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY
Your Cheating Heart
KEY: G
YOUR CHEATING HEART WILL MAKE YOU WEEP
YOU'LL CRY AND CRY AND TRY TO SLEEP
BUT SLEEP WON'T COME THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH
YOUR CHEATING HEART WILL TELL ON YOU
WHEN TEARS COME DOWN LIKE FALLING RAIN
YOU'LL TOSS AROUND AND CALL MY NAME
YOU'LL WALK THE FLOOR THE WAY I DO
YOUR CHEATING HEART WILL TELL ON YOU
(BREAK)
YOUR CHEATING HEART WILL PINE SOME DAY
AND CRAVE THE LOVE YOU THREW AWAY
THE TIME WILL COME WHEN YOU'LL BE BLUE
YOUR CHEATING HEART WILL TELL ON YOU
WHEN TEARS COME DOWN LIKE FALLING RAIN
YOU'LL TOSS AROUND AND CALL MY NAME
YOU'LL WALK THE FLOOR THE WAY I DO
YOUR CHEATING HEART WILL TELL ON YOU
YOUR CHEATING HEART IS GONNA TELL ON YOU
