Big Train (From Memphis) - Roy Orbison

When I was young I spent my summer days Playin' on the track The sound of the wheels Rollin' on the steel Took me out, took me back Big train from Memphis Big train from Memphis Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone Like no one before He let out a roar And I just had to tag along Each night I went to bed With the sound in my head And the dream was a song Big train from Memphis Big train from Memphis Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone Well I've rode 'em in And back out again You know what they say about trains But I'm tellin' you When that Memphis train came through This ol' world was not the same Big train from Memphis Big train from Memphis Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

Le-Leah, Leah! Le-Leah, Leah! Here I go, >From the hut to the boat, to the sea For Leah. Ah-hah, I gotta go diving in the bay, Gotta get a lot of oysters, find some pearls today, To make a pretty necklace for Leah, Le-e-ah. Ive gotta go deep and find the ones just right -- Ill bet my Leahll be surprised tonight. Ill place the pearls around the only girl for me, Le-e-ah. But somethings wrong, I cannot move around -- My leg is caught, its pulling me down, But Ill keep my hand shut tight, for if they find me, Theyll find the pearl for Leah. And now its over, Im awake at last -- Old heartaches and memories from the past. It was just another dream about my lost love, Bout Le-e-ah. Le-Leah, Leah! Le-Leah, Leah! Here I go, Back to sleep, and in my dreams, Ill dream With Leah, Leah, Le-ah!

Kitty Wells The night is bright and gay but I'm so blue My heart must have it's way and dream of you That's why I sigh and sip my lonely wine Your picture on the wall your smiling face Brings back the memory of your embrace I start to cry into my lonely wine Teardrops fall but all they bring is heartache It's better if I never think at all Still they soothe the pain my lonely thoughts make I never quite succeed in hiding all, so let them fall Where ever you may be, I'll still be true And when the clouds roll by I'll come to you But until then I'll drink my lonely wine Key Change-Repeat Where ever you may be etc.

Mama, just had to call, oh, Mama Your baby boy just had his heart Broken in two, she said we're through But to send her best to you. Oh, Mama, I'd like to run to you, Mama. I'd come home today, leave right away, But things won't work that way Gotta stay, be a man, If I can, Mama. No, Mom, I don't know. I called her tonight. No, not at home. Yeah, you're probably right. Yes, I'll take care of myself. No, I'll be alright. I'll go to bed early tonight. Oh, Mama, tell Dad I think of him, Mama. How's Uncle Joe, my puppy, Coco, Tell them hello, oh, better go But gosh, I loved her so. Umm, Mama, don't worry so much, darling Mama. Now, Mama don't cry, just say goodbye, Can't have us both in tears, oh, Mom, you know me. Yes, I'll always be your baby through all the years

Evergreen Joe Tanner Sometimes love will bloom in the springtime Then like flowers in summer it will grow And then fade away in the winter When the cold winds begin to blow But when it's evergreen, evergreen It will last through the summer and winter too When love is evergreen, evergreen Like my love for you So hold my hand and tell me You'll be mine through laughter or through tears Then let the whole world see, our love will be Evergreen through all the years For when it's evergreen, evergreen It will last through the summer and winter too When love is evergreen, evergreen Like my love for you Transcribed by Fred
