Heartaches By The Number lyrics - Conway Twitty

Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you come back again
You came back and never meant to stay.

Now I've got heartaches by the number,
troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,
a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
that's the day my world will end.

Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way.

Now I've got heartaches by the number,
troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,
a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
that's the day my world will end...

World Of Forgotten People lyrics - Conway Twitty

I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine,

Well I've loved and I've been loved
But I had a reckless heart
And the many dreams I had are torn apart
Now I find I was wrong too late
I'm all alone alone in a world of broken heart.

I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine.

I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine...

One For The Money lyrics - Conway Twitty

One for the money two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me.

Not too long ago I still remember kisses
Warm and sweet and oh, so tender
But like a boat of life that strikes an unconfected tree
That's just how quick you've made a fool of me.

One for the money two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me.

Everybody told me what you were doing
They all said that you would be my ruin
But like the tree that couldn't see the light that's flashin' down
I closed my ears and didn't hear a sound.

One for the money two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me...

"Darling, You Know I Wouldn't Lie" (1969)

Sound Of An Angel's Wings lyrics - Conway Twitty

Jenny was the girl that I once called my own
Then came the day my Jenny left me all alone
She died 'neath the wheels of a midnight train
Trying to find the high school ring
And that's when I first heard the sound of an angel's wings.

Oh, how my poor heart cried the day they took her away
And then something deep inside me seemed to say
Goodbye my love, remember me, I'll wait for you in eternity
And again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.

I slowly walked back to my home down by the sea
And there on the shelf was a picture of my Jenny and me
And I fell to my knees as the teardrops streamed
And I cried, Oh Lord, let it all be a dream.
But again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.

I ran down to the sea so deep and wide
I just had to be by my darling Jenny's side
And I cried, Oh Jenny please wait for me
Then jumped into the angry sea.
And again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.

And the last thing I heard was the sound of my angel's wings...

Darling, You Know I Wouldn't Lie lyrics - Conway Twitty

Here I am late again for the last time
And like I promised, I just told her goodbye
Please, believe me for this time it's really over
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie.

Didn't I come and tell you about her
How temptation lured she and I
But now I know it was only fascination
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie.

I had to let her down easy
As slow as I could
After all, she's got feelings too
But it took a little longer
Than I thought it would
But this time, she knows we're really through.

She wanted to hold me forever
And this lipstick shows her final try
And these tears on my shoulder
Are proof that she failed
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie...

Ballad Of Forty Dollars lyrics - Conway Twitty

The man who preached the funeral
Said it really was a simple way to die
He laid down to rest one afternoon
And never opened up his eyes.

They hired me and Fred and Joe
To dig the grave and carry up some chairs
It took us seven hours and
I guess we must have drunk a case of beer.

I guess I oughta go and watch 'em
Put him down but I don't own the suit
And anyway when they start talkin'
'Bout the fire and hell well I get spooked.

So I'll just sit here in my truck
And act like I don't know him when they pass
And anyway when they're all through
I've got to go to work and mow the grass.

Well, here they come and who's that ridin'
In that big ole shiny limousine
Hmm, look at all that chrome
I do believe that that's the sharpest thing I've seen.

That must belong to his great uncle
Someone said he owned a big ole farm
When they get parked I'll mosey down
And look it over that won't do no harm.

Well, that must be the widow in the car
And would you take a look at that
That sure is a pretty dress
You know some women do look good in black.

He's not even in the ground
And they say his track is up for sale
They say she took it pretty hard
But you can't tell too much behind a veil.

Now listen ain't that pretty
When the bugler plays the military taps
I think that when you's in the war
They always hired and played a song like that.

Well, here I am and there they go
And I guess you'd call it my bad luck
I hope he'll rest in peace but trouble is
That fellow owed me forty bucks...

Papa Sing Me A Song lyrics - Conway Twitty

Every son wants to follow in the footsteps of his dad
That's why my boy is in this cell next to me
Tonight I'll sing him a song about mama and home
For tomorrow he'll meet his destiny.

So, I'll sing him a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept him from losing his mind
I'll sing him a song about mama and home
But tonight I'll sing my last time.

(In the morning at sunrise they're gonna take my boy out to hang
And the scaffold and thirteen steps they built near by my door
But I know that when the warden leads him past my cell
Yes he's gonna say papa sing me a song once more)

Papa sing me a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept me from losing my mind
Papa sing him a song about mama and home
But sing a song to die by this time.

Papa sing a song to die by this time...

Window Up Above lyrics - Conway Twitty

I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But even now the clouds're gathering
And the storm will wreck our home
I thought we belonged together that our hearts fit like a glove
I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above.

You must have thought that I was sleeping
And I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
For last night he hugged you tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching from the window up above.

From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
I heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong
Well, I hope he makes you happy, that you'll never lose his love
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above.

How I wished I could be dreaming
And wake up to a love that's true
I was wrong for I've been standing at the window watching you...

Table In The Corner lyrics - Conway Twitty

There's a table in the corner of a honky tonk in town
And if you should ever want me there I can be found
There'll be heartache all around me and the blues for company
At the table in the corner where we once used to meet

There'll be two chairs at the table but something won't be right
Cause one chair will be empty just like my arms tonight
Same old faces all around me everything is still the same
But the table in the corner will never share again

Oh I know that I should leave you and start my life anew
But that would mean I have to forget about you
And it's no use I can't forget you so I guess I'll spend my time
At the table in the corner with your sweet love on my mind

Bad Man lyrics - Conway Twitty

I have the reputation that's known throughout the land
They say I'm faster on the draw than any livin' man
They call me a bad man they say I kill for fun
They say the only thing I know is how to use a gun.
But they don't know the reason they branded me as bad
It started many years ago when I was just a lad

I rode into a cattle town a boy of twenty three
So young and yet that very day I carved my destiny
I walked into the town saloon that sad and fateful day
Then I began to gamble to pass the time away
I thought I'd play a hand or two and hit the trail again
But Lady Luck was with me and I began to win

The dealer kept on dealin' the stakes were gettin' high
And pretty soon there was no one left but an old cowboy and I
The minutes seemed like hours you couldn't hear a sound
We'd bet and raised until we'd laid all our money down
The cowboy smiled and showed his hand
Three aces he did hold
But I laid down a royal flush and reached to claim my gold

The cowboy stood and faced me his hands hung at his hips
A look of hate was in his eyes, the smile had left his lips
He said young man slap leather I'm known for miles around
To keep my reputation up I've got to gun you down
With lightnin' speed we drew and fired
One life to me the cost
The cowboy tumbled to the floor his reputation lost

Now many years have come and gone
And many men have died
Each tried his luck and hoped he'd be the fastest gun alive
And in my many fights to live I wondered if I'd won
I'm known to all as bad man they say I kill for fun
Someday I'll meet a cowboy who's speed will meet the test
And that will end the saga of the bad man of the west...

Bad Girl lyrics - Conway Twitty

She's not a bad girl,
She's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me.

I know it doesn't look too good for her
And I suppose she's done the things you say
And I guess it's true I tried more than I should for her
But it's not her fault that she turned out that way.

She's not a bad girl
She's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me.

Once she was the kind of girl you'd have her be
But I was foolish then and didn't care
The first of us to ever slip around was me
And to place the blame on her just isn't fair.

She's not a bad girl
She's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me.

Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me...

When The Grass Grows Over Me lyrics -

When you left I thought that I would soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.

Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.

Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute I'm alive I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.

I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me...

Kaw-Liga lyrics - Conway Twitty

Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian, standin' by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid, over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no.

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head.

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine.

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head.

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh, so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head...

Hungry Eyes lyrics - Conway Twitty

(originally by Merle Haggard)

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
Stands out in this mem'ry I revive
'Cause my daddy raised a family there
With two hard working hands.

To try to feed my mama's hungry eyes
He dreamed of something better
And my mama's faith was strong
And us kids were just too young to realize.

That another class of people
Put us somewhere just below
One more reason for my mama's
Hungry eyes.

Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.

I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
But I don't recall a change of any size
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.

Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.

Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes...

"Next In Line" (1968)

Mama Tried lyrics - Conway Twitty

First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And the youngest dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leaving town not knowing where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind, but mama tried.

One and only rebel child for my family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Inspite of all my Sunday learnin'
Toward the bad I kept on turnin'
Till mama couldn't hold me anymore.

I turned twenty one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame, 'cause mama tried.

Dear old daddy, rest his soul, left my mama heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused.

I turned twenty one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame, 'cause mama tried...

Next In Line lyrics - Conway Twitty

See her there at the table
Watch her tear at the label
From the bottle that she just drank dry
In her mind there's a burning
It took a long time, but she's learning
And just look at the deardrops she's cried.

Everbody knows I love her
But her mind is on another
And just look what he's done to her pride
And if she should change her mind
Give up the music and the wine
I'll be standing by to be the next in line

I know her favourite songs so well
And she's happy, I can tell
Just as long as she can hear the juke box play
So I'll keep playing it loud
I'll spend every dime I have
To keep her happy, in my own kind of way

Everbody knows I love her
But her mind is on another
And just look what he's done to her pride
And if she should change her mind
Give up the music and the wine
I'll be standing by to be the next in line...

D-I-V-O-R-C-E lyrics - Conway Twitty

Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Watch him smile he thinks it's Christmas or his fifth birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
Then turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's dripping down my cheeks.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E...

With Pen In Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty

With pen in hand you signed your name
Today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own.

Can you take good care of Johnny
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullys away, hear what I say
Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
Can you tell him about the Man in the Moon
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me.

And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
And with your heart on fire will you have no desire
To kiss me and to hold me
And if you can forget the good times we had
If you think that the good times won't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way. hmm hmm...

Us lyrics - Conway Twitty

Please don't take you out of us

You took the happy out of happiness
You took the love out of loveliness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.

You took the tender out of tenderness
You took the hope out of hopefulness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.

Take everything away that's keeping me alive
And you can take away my memory, I still survive

Take all the happiness that I've ever known
Take all the tenderness that you've ever shown
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us...

I Told My World To Go Away lyrics - Conway Twitty

I grew tired of the world that I was living in
I looked around and found another world to take me in
It was bright and new with the skies of blue not like my skies of grey
And so I told my world to go away.

This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did.

What makes a man think that he can turn his world away
To wander through a world that's new and then return someday
To the one he knew was good and true the one he loved at home
I ask my world to take me back but she won't.

This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did...

Ain't It Sad To Stand And Watch Love Die lyrics - Conway Twitty

Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Unfaithful wife I took her life and the quicklin' of the knife
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?

I found her in the arms of my best friend
And I vowed she's never gonna hurtin' me again
And in a bitter anger I shoot them where they lied
And the last words she spoke God forgive me then she died
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?

The neighbors gathered round so they could see
Oh my God, what have you done, they started asking me
So I placed a gun up to my head and this was my reply
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?

Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?..

Today I Started Loving You Again lyrics - Conway Twitty

(originally by Merle Haggard)

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And crying time for me had just begun.

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.

And today I started loving you again...

Folsom Prison Blues lyrics -

I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when.

I'm stuck in Folsom prison,
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Anton.

When I was just a baby
My mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns.

But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
Now every time I hear that whistle
I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigars.

Well, I know I had it coming,
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me.

Well, if they'd free me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further
Down the line.

Far from Folsom prison,
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away...

Things I Lost In You lyrics - Conway Twitty

It's over, I've known it for a long time
So I went out and found somebody new
She gave me the kind of love I wanted
And I found in her the things I lost in you.

I loved you darlin', how I loved you
I still recall each tender memory
But there's one thing I guess I'll never understand
What made you turn and walk away from me.

I thought it would last for a lifetime
I didn't think you'd ever prove untrue
Oh, but it's over I found someone who really cares
And I found in her the things I lost in you...

I'm Checking Out lyrics - Conway Twitty

Lately you've been acting kind of strange, it's true
Everybody knows there's been a change in you
You come home for awhile and then you're gone again
Well I thought I'd better let you know just where I stand.

I'm tired of bein' the loser in this game you play
You're gonna wish you'd been truer, when I'm gone someday
You'll try to get me to come back, but I won't make a deal
And I thought I'd better let you know just how I feel.

I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.

And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.

I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.

And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.

Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out...

"Here's Conway Twitty & His Lonely Blue Boys" (1968)

Dim Lights, Thick Smoke And Loud, Loud Music lyrics - Conway Twitty

Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man

A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband that's true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only home you know is the club down the street

Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man

Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man...

Skip A Rope lyrics - Conway Twitty

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.

Skip a rope.

Daddy hates momma and momma hates dad
Last night, you should've heard the fight they had
It gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream.

Skip a rope, skip a rope,

Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.

Skip a rope.

Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now, what was that they said about a Golden Rule?
Well, never mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of their skin.

Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Awww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.

Skip a rope.

Stab 'em in the back,
That's the name of the game
And momma and daddy
Are who's to blame.

Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Awww listen to the children
While they play
It's really not very funny
What the children say.

Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Skip a rope, skip a rope

Sing Me Back Home lyrics - Conway Twitty

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request'

'Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die'

I recall last Sunday morning a choir from 'cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear once before you move along?'

"Sing me back home the song my mama sang
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die"

The Image Of Me lyrics - Conway Twitty

Yes, I know she's the life of the party
And without her, things here would die
Oh, but don't be fooled by her laughter
She has her sad times, she knows how to cry.

She drinks, and she talks
Just a little too loud
And with her pride gone, she tags along
With any old crowd.

Yes, I know I'm to blame
And I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me.

I met her in a little country town
She was simple and old-fashioned in some ways
But she loved me till I dragged her down
Then she just gave up and drifted away.

She drinks, and she talks
Just a little too loud
And with her pride gone, she tags along
With any old crowd.

Yes, I know I'm to blame
And I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me...

I Don't Mind lyrics -

It used to break my heart each time you cheated,
I tried to leave you, the Lord knows how I've tried
But I stayed here no matter how I'm treated
And all it really cost me was my pride.

But I don't mind,
I don't mind
I did for a time
But I don't mind.

You and I have a perfect understanding
You come and you go as you please
And I never get too angry or demanding
It's hard to get mad on your knees.

But I don't mind,
Baby, I don't mind
I did for a time
But I don't mind.

Once I was strong as a mountain,
I stood tall like a giant Oak tree
Now my blood runs thin like water in a fountain
You took all the man outta me.

But I don't mind,
Baby, I don't mind
I did for a time
But I don't mind

Tender Years lyrics - Conway Twitty

You keep saying you love him
I believe that it's true
And it just doesn't matter
How much I love you
But in time you'll understand, dear
When you shed a tear
Then you'll know you were living
In your tender years.

In your eyes there's a lovelight
That shines for him
But how long will it stay there
Will that lovelight grow dim
You can just see the happiness
You can't see the tears
Its true 'cause you're living
In your tender years.

So if I can't be your first love
I'll wait and be your last
I'll be somewhere in your future
To help you forget the past
And you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
'Cause I'll wait till you're thru living
In your tender years.

Yes, you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
Yes, I'll wait till you're thru living
In your tender years...

Jambalaya (On The Bayou) lyrics - Conway Twitty

Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me-oh, my-oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me-oh, my-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have good fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me-oh my-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou...

By The Time I Get To Phoenix lyrics - Conway Twitty

By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be risin',
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door.
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin',
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before.

By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be workin',
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call.
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin',
Off the wall, that's all.

By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleepin',
She'll turn softly and call my name out low.
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her,
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so.
She just didn't know I would really go...

You Sure Know How To Hurt A Friend lyrics - Conway Twitty

You see these little teardrops in my eyes
You ask me if I'll ever love again
I don't think you really meant to hurt my heart
That's on the mend
You sure know how to hurt a friend.

You tell me she still looks the aame
And I'm trying to forget her name
I don't want the memory of her
Hangin' around me again
You sure know how to hurt a friend.

Each time I hear her name I hurt again
Thoughts of our good love race through my brain.
To hurt with every thought Oof her
I know would be a sin
You sure know how to hurt a friend.

Her neon memory lights up my heart
You mention her again it might start.
Teardrops falling from my eyes
May never stop again.
You sure know how to hurt a friend.

You sure know how to hurt a friend.
You sure know how to hurt a friend...

Sensitive Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty

Don't tell me you don't love me even if it's just in fun
I love you so much the shock of it would kill me before you were done
And never say you're leaving I die before you could start
When it comes to you and our love I have sensitive heart.

I never knew such happiness I feel with you each day and night
I never thought a woman could mean so much to one man's life
Tears come to my eyes just thinking that we could ever part
For darling I love you so much in my sensitive heart.

I never knew such happiness I feel with you each day and night
I never thought a woman could mean so much to one man's life
Tears come to my eyes just thinking that we could ever part
For darling I love you so much in my sensitive heart...

Take Me As I Am lyrics - Conway Twitty

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more.

Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me.

There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss.

Take me to Siberia
And to coldest weather of the wintertime
It would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine.

There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss...

"Country" (1967)

Working Girl lyrics - Conway Twitty

Working girl, working girl,
I love you working girl
And all the things that you do
Mhm I don't know what I would do
If you should up and leave
Just sit and grieve.
Sit and grieve, working girl.

Working girl,
You've got money all of the time
Working girl
Pay my debt and treat me fine.
Ah, I don't know if I could take it
If she should up and go
I love you so
I love you so, working girl.

Give me money when I'm down
Working girl she takes me out on the town working girl
Each time I think it's over she makes me
See she loves just me only me working girl.

Buy me rings,
Wxpensive things
Working girl cowboy boots
S swimming suit working girl.

Shany car, credit cards and that ain't all
When I'm with you I walk real proud I walk real tall
Working girl working girl I love you working girl
I love the things that you do...

But I Dropped It lyrics - Conway Twitty

I was a man with a world in his hand
But I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans
But I dropped it.

It didn't lay there very long
I turned around and it was gone
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket
All she wanted was my love and understanding

I didn't care enough
I wasn't bear enough
And she got lonely.

I was a man with a world in his hand
But I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans
But I dropped it.

And good things don't just lay around
Neglected on the ground
He took my girl he put my world
Right in his pocket

He took my girl he put my world
Right in his pocket...

Things Have Gone To Pieces lyrics - Conway Twitty

Oh, the fault it started drippin' in the kitchen
And last night your picture fell down from the wall
Today the boss said sorry I can't use you anymore
And just then the life all went out in the hall.

Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream.

Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream...

Walk Me To The Door lyrics - Conway Twitty

Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time,
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine.
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
that's why I'm asking one last favor Walk me to the door.

I love another, won't you let me be
These are the words you said to me.
How can I go through life without you like it was before
When I can't even make it to the door.

Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine.
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
that's why I'm asking one last favor Walk me to the door.

I promise I won't try to make amends,
I know I don't deserve you back again.
My trembling lips are begging, they never did before
Just one last favor Walk me to the door.

Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time,
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine.
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
that's why I'm asking one last favor Walk me to the door...

Two Of The Usual lyrics - Conway Twitty

We had just set our wedding day and I took you home
And went to a quiet place to celebrate alone
Then I heard your laughter and turned in time to see
You enter with someone a stranger to me.

Two of the usual I heard him say
Two of the usual in a two familiar ways
The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems
For two of the usual just shattered my dreams.

My body was trembling down to my fingertips
With your goodnight kisses still warm on my lips
I sat there in darkness alone and afraid
And my world turned to pieces at the order he gave.

Two of the usual I heard him say
Two of the usual in a two familiar ways
The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems
For two of the usual just shattered my dreams...

Life Turned Her That Way lyrics - Conway Twitty

If she seems cold and bitter
I beg of you stop and consider all she's been through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Oh don't blame her, life turned her that way.

She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way.

She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way.

Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way...

Go Woman Go lyrics - Conway Twitty

Go woman go
Go woman go
There you stand to
Tellin' me you're gettin' tired of me.

You're sayin' that I've changed up
Not the way I used to be
Well, there's some things I wanna say
I think you ought to know
And then I think I'm gonna let you
Go woman go.

I stood by and watched you
As you tore my honor down
I even bought the clothes you wore
To go out on the town.

I thought you'd have your fling
And settle down but now I know
That all you ever wanted
Was to go woman go.

Now there you stand to
Tellin' me you're walkin' out the door
You're sayin' that you've had it
That you can't stand me no more.

You're thinkin' that I'll take you back
The way I did before
But not this time I've set your free
To go woman go.

Woman, go woman go.
Woman, go woman go...

Don't Put Your Hurt In My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty

Don't put your hurt in my heart
Stop what you're planning before you start
Yes, I loved you once it's true but now I'm over you
Don't put your hurt in my heart.

Don't put your burning in my eyes
'Cause the burning only stops when I cry
Once my teardrops fell like rain
Washed away the burning flame.

And it washed all your hurt from my heart
Don't put your sorry in my mind
'Cause it's useless and you're only wasting time
I got over you before I can't chance it anymore.

Don't put your hurt in my heart.
Don't put your hurt in my heart...

Walk Through This World With Me lyrics - Conway Twitty

Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my my dreams with me,
I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long, long time.

And now that I've found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand
And walk through this world with me.

Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my dreams with me,
I need you so.

And now that I've found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me...

I Threw Away The Rose lyrics - Conway Twitty

(originally by Merle Haggard)

Once I lived a life of wine and roses
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn.

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose.

I stood by and watched the bottle take a man of me
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
And I watched my social friends slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command.

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose...
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
