Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there Soft as the rain that falls on summerflowers Warm as the sunlight shining on her head When I awake and see her there so close beside me I want to take her in my arms, The ache is there so deep inside me Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away And when she turns to touch me I kiss her fingers so softly And then my Mary wake to love and love again And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share, We share together Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening Kissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hair And as we walk, I hold her close beside me All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share

I see a change is coming to our lives It's not the same as it used to be And it's not too late to realise our mistake We're just not right for each other Love has slipped away left us only friends We almost seem like strangers All that's left between us are the memories we shared Of times we thought we cared for each other There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways And pick up all the pieces left behind us And maybe someday, somewhere along the way Another love will find us Some day when she's older, maybe she will understand Why her mom and dad are not together The tears that she will cry when I have to say goodbye Will tear at my heart forever There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways And pick up all the pieces left behind us And maybe someday, somewhere along the way Another love will find us
Ev'rytime you kiss me I'm still not certain that you love me Ev'ry time you hold me I'm still not certain that you care Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me do you speak the same words To someone else when I'm not there Suspicion torments my heart Suspicion keeps us apart Suspicion why torture me Ev'rytime you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow I can't help but think that you're meeting someone else tonight Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow? Why am I so doubtful whenever you're out of sight? Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger Maybe I'm suspicious 'cause true love is so hard to find
Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone. You're right, and I'm left all alone. Well, you tried to tell me so, But how was I to know That she was not the one for me?

Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do, I guess I'm not so smart. Oh, you tried to tell me along she'd only break my heart. I'm left, you're right, she's gone. You're right, and I'm left all alone. Well, she's gone I know not where, But now I just don't care. For now I'm falling for you. If you'll forgive me now, I'll make it up somehow. So happy we will be, In a home just for three, And I'll soon forget her, Now I know. Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do, I guess I'm not so smart. You tried to tell me all along, She'd only break my heart. Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone. You're right, and I'm left all alone. Well, she's gone, I know not where, But now I just don't care, For now I've fallen for you.
Well, it's hard to be a gambler Bettin' on the number That changes ev'ry time Well, you think you're gonna win Think she's givin' in A stranger's all you find Yeah, it's hard to figure out What she's all about That she's a woman through and through She's a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue, Oh, Moody blue Tell me am I gettin' through I keep hangin' on Try to learn the song But I never do Oh, Moody blue, Tell me who I'm talkin' to You're like the night and day And it's hard to say Which one is you.

I know you're a lonely woman and I love you But someone else is waiting and he owns you If he should ever wake up, make sure that your story is straight love If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name And if you walk in your sleep forget where you came Walking every night here in the shadows So afraid that sometime he may follow There's always the chance he'll find us I don't need to remind you If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name If you walk in your sleep forget where you came Love is so much sweeter when it's borrowed I'll feel a little easier tomorrow Don't give our secret away, be careful what you say If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name If you walk in your sleep forget where you came Forget where you came, now Forget where you came Don't mention my name Don't mention my name Forget where you came

When I was a lad And old Shep was a pup Over hills and meadows we'd stray Just a boy and his dog We were both full of fun We grew up together that way I remember the time at the old swimmin' hold When I would have drowned beyond doubt But old Shep was right there To the rescue he came He jumped in and then pulled me out As the years fast did roll Old Shep he grew old His eyes were fast growing dim And one day the doctor looked at me and said I can do no more for him Jim With hands that were trembling I picked up my gun And aimed it at Shep's faithful head I just couldn't do it I wanted to run I wish they would shoot me instead He came to my side And looked up at me And laid his old head on my knee I had struck the best friend that a man ever had I cried so I scarcely could see Old Shep he has gone Where the good doggies go And no more with old Shep will I roam But if dogs have a heaven There's one thing I know Old Shep has a wonderful home
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green The snowbird sings a song he always sings And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring When I was young my heart was young then too Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do But now I feel such emptiness within For the thing that I want most in life Is the thing I can't win Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could you know that I would fly away with you The breeze along the river seems to say That she'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay So little snowbird take me with you when you go To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

Well, I quit my job down at the car wash, Left my mama a goodbye note, By sundown I'd left Kingston, With my guitar under my coat, I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis, Got a room at the YMCA, For the next three weeks I went huntin' them nights, Just lookin' for a place to play, Well, I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire, But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man. Well, I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis, I run outta money and luck, So I bought me a ride down to Macon, Georgia, On a overloaded poultry truck, I thumbed on down to Panama City, Started pickin' out some o' them all night bars, Hopin' I could make myself a dollar, Makin' music on my guitar, I got the same old story at them all night piers, There ain't no room around here for a guitar man We don't need a guitar man, son So I slept in the hobo jungles, Roamed a thousand miles of track, Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama, At a club they call Big Jack's, A little four-piece band was jammin', So I took my guitar and I sat in, I showed 'em what a band would sound like, With a swingin' little guitar man. Show 'em, son If you ever take a trip down to the ocean, Find yourself down around Mobile, Make it on out to a club called Jack's, If you got a little time to kill, Just follow that crowd of people, You'll wind up out on his dance floor, Diggin' the finest little five-piece group, Up and down the Gulf of Mexico, Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band, Well, wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin' little guitar man. The TV-special verse: Well, I came a long way from the carwash, Got to where I said I'd get Now that I'm here I know for sure I really ain't got there yet Think I'll start all over Swing my guitar over my back I'm gonna get myself back on the track I'll never, never ever look back I'll never be more than what I am Wouldn't you know I' m a swinging little Guitar man
