Lyrics

To Cd titled   "I'm the One"

 

Are You Teasing Me

When we’re all alone dear and I’m in your arms

Are you teasing me

When you tell me how you thrill to my charms

Are you teasing me

Are you untrue when I’m not with you

And when we’re apart are you free

Tell me darling while our love is still young

Are you teasing me

You tell me my kiss puts your heart in a whirl

Are you teasing me

And that you’ll be mine till the end of the world

Are you teasing me

Are you untrue when I’m not with you

And when we’re apart are you free

Tell me darling while our love is still young

Are you teasing me

You tell me my love makes your whole life complete

Are you teasing me

And never from my arms would you long to be

Are you teasing me

Are you untrue when I’m not with you

And when we’re apart are you free

Tell me darling while our love is still young

Are you teasing me

Are you teasing me

Beneath The Cold Cold Clay

There’s a little lonesome graveyard

On a hillside far away

Where my mother and dad are sleeping

Beneath that cold cold clay

I remember back home in the evening

When Mom and Dad would gather round

We would all pray together

As the sun was going down

There’s a little lonesome graveyard

On a hillside far away

Where my mother and dad are sleeping

Beneath that cold cold clay

Now Mom and Dad have gone to heaven

They left with the angels up there

And I know I soon will join them

In that mansion way up there

There’s a little lonesome graveyard

On a hillside far away

Where my mother and dad are sleeping

Beneath that cold cold clay

Carolina Star

Back to the hills those slow rolling hills

Where North Carolina comes close to the stars?

There’s living a lady shinning so bright,

They call her the Carolina Star.

She works in the factory Monday to Friday;

She’s raising three daughters all alone.

Their daddy’s away chasing a dream

They are living for the day that he comes home.

Oh----------h Carolina even stars get lonesome now and then.

Oh----------h Carolina don’t you worry he’s a coming home again.

Playing his son’s up in Nashville, playing for tips in a bar,

He’s broke and all alone and he dreams for coming home,

For he wants to be a country singing star.

Some times she wakes up just thinking of him

She remembers him beside her in the night

Way out across those hills that old moon is setting again

And those Carolina stars are shining bright

Oh---------h Carolina even stars get lonesome now and then

Oh---------h Carolina don’t you worry he’s a coming home again

Oh---------h Carolina don’t you worry he’s a coming home again

Carrie Anne You Taught Me Well

The first time I saw Carrie Anne

Was in the spring at the Cumberland Fair

Her flowery dress always flowed in the breeze

Like the ribbon she wore in her hair

We walked hand and hand through the night

But the years of love seemed so right

Then I made the mistake that a young fool will make

And now she’s a wealthy man’s wife

Carrie Anne you taught me well

The lessons of love are unkind

It doesn’t ease my pain to know

That your heart will always be mine

The last time I saw Carrie Anne

She was alone in the park with a man

She’s chosen the life of a comfortable wife

For the love that we knew at first glance

Carrie Anne you taught me well

The lessons of love are unkind

It doesn’t ease my pain to know

That your heart will always be mine

Carrie Anne you taught me well

The lessons of love are unkind

It doesn’t ease my pain to know

That your heart will always be mine

It doesn’t ease my pain to know

That your heart will always be mine

Cold Virginia Night

When I fist meet her, it was a sunny spring time morn

Our love grew like the flowers on the mountain

And it felt like then, our love would never end

Til that cold Virginia night when Ginny left me

It was a full moon on a cold Virginia night

When Ginny left me I could not believe-----

Her frost bitten heart would tear my whole world apart

It was a cold Virginia night when Ginny left me

Our love changed with the seasons, it got hot like a summer wind

And it blew me away into the Autumn-----

And like the leaves that fell, our love did not do well

On that cold Virginia night when Ginny left me

It was a full moon on a cold Virginia night

When Ginny left me I could not believe-----

Her frost bitten heart would tear my whole world apart

It was a cold Virginia night when Ginny left me

It was a full moon on a cold Virginia night

When Ginny left me I could not believe-----

Her frost bitten heart would tear my whole world apart

It was a cold Virginia night when Ginny left me

Her frost bitten heart would tear my whole world apart

It was a cold Virginia night when Ginny left me

Country Poor And Country Proud

Mama sits and cries a lot lately

Papa he don’t say much anymore

Times are hard since they closed the mill down

I guess their getting used to being poor

There’s fresh hot coffee in the kitchen

And those biscuits and gravy sure smell good

There ain’t no picture pretty as the sunshine

When you’re looking out the window at the woods

We might be poor but we’re proud

And we’re living the best way we know how

We don’t have much but we don’t look for pity

Cause we’re country poor and country proud

A stranger came out here from the city

And he tried to take some hard luck photographs

I loaded up my shot gun and I warned him

Hey Mister we don’t need no help like that

I still live in the house I was born in

It ain’t much but this ole farm will get us by

All I need is a shade tree by my front porch

And have me a tombstone when I die

We might be poor but we’re proud

And we’re living the best way we know how

We don’t have much but we don’t look for pity

Cause we’re Country Poor and Country Proud

We might be poor but we’re proud

And we’re living the best way we know how

We don’t have much but we don’t look for pity

Cause we’re Country Poor and Country Proud

Cause we’re Country Poor and Country Proud

East Virginia Blues

I was born in East Virginia

North Carolina I did go

There I met a fair young lady

 And her name I do not know

Oh, her hair was dark and curly

And her cheeks were rosy red

On her breast she wore white lilies

Where I long to lay my head

I don't want your greenback dollar

I don't want your watch and chain

All I want's your heart darling

Say you'll take me back again

The ocean's deep and I can't wade it

And I have no wings to fly

I'll just get me a blue eyed boatman

Or you'll row me over the tide

I'll go back to East Virginia

North Carolina ain't my home

I'll go back to East Virginia

Leaving North Carolinians alone

I'll go back to East Virginia

North Carolina ain't my home

I'll go back to East Virginia

Leaving North Carolinians alone

I’m The One 

I got your letter- Postmarked today

You would have called

If you had tender words to say

You say you love the one you married

Years ago when you were young

I got your letter-but I know better-I’m the one

I’m the one that makes you feel the way you used to

When the fire of love burned hotter than the sun

The words you wrote would break my heart if I believed them

But I know better- you still love me- I’m the one

I saw you walking there’s no mistake

It was the kind of walk that lonely lovers take

You could write a hundred letters telling me our love is wrong

But I know better- you still love me- I’m the one

I’m the one that makes you feel the way you used to

When the fire of love burned hotter than the sun

The words you wrote would break my heart if I believed them

But I know better- you still love me- I’m the one

I’m the one that makes you feel the way you used to

When the fire of love burned hotter than the sun

The words you wrote would break my heart if I believed them

But I know better- you still love me- I’m the one

Blue Eyed Girl

Oh the night was cold and oh so dreary

As I stumbled into the bar

Well the first thing that I remember

Was you my blue eyed girl

Your blue eyes shine brighter than a pretty summer day

Your hair with those wild golden curls

Her lips taste sweeter than a honeysuckle vine

Cause you are my blue eyed girl

As the night passed on I thought about her

I was thinking of how I could make her mine

Just then I came up with the solution

Well another had beaten my time

Her blue eyes shined brighter than a pretty summer day

Her hair with those wild golden curls

Her lips taste sweeter than a honeysuckle vine

Cause you are my blue eyed girl

Her blue eyes shined brighter than a pretty summer day

Her hair with those wild golden curls

Her lips taste sweeter than a honeysuckle vine

Cause you are my blue eyed girl

I’ve lost you my blue eyed girl

My Little Georgia Rose

Now come and listen to my story

A story that I know is true

About a rose that blooms in Georgia

With hair of gold and a heart so true

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Way down where tall pines grow

Lives my sweetheart of the mountains

She’s my little Georgia rose

Her mother left her with another

A carefree life she had planned

The baby now is a lady

The one her mother could not stand

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Way down where tall pines grow

Lives my sweetheart of the mountains

She’s my little Georgia rose

We often sang old songs together

I watched her do her little part

She’d smile at me when I would tell her

That she was my own sweetheart

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Way down where tall pines grow

Lives my sweetheart of the mountains

She’s my little Georgia rose

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Way down where tall pines grow

Lives my sweetheart of the mountains

She’s my little Georgia rose

Song Bird

On a Fence in a meadow across from my home

A young songbird is biding his time

Singing songs to his love in the wood lot near by

Never flying to be by her side

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly to the one that you sing for

You sit on the fence for a lifetime alone

Or fly to the one that you sing for

He would sing his sweet love songs time after time

I swear he would sing from the heart

In his love which he kept in a voice filled with dreams

What is it that keeps us apart

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly to the one that you sing for

You sit on the fence for a lifetime alone

Or fly to the one that you sing for

Now the songbird is silent alone on the fence

His reason for singing has gone

Another lover flew to her and took her away

Now there’s no one to hear his sweet song

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly to the one that you sing for

You sit on the fence for a lifetime alone

Or fly to the one that you sing for

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly to the one that you sing for

If you sit on the fence for a lifetime alone

Or fly to the one that you sing for

You sit on the fence for a lifetime alone (hold note)

Or fly to the one that you sing for

Sweet Little Miss Blue Eyes

Who makes me forget all the other girls I've met

Sweet little miss blue eyes

Who's sweeter to me that she really ought to be  

Sweet little miss blue eyes

Little miss blue eyes looks so good 

I'm gonna bring her to the neighborhood

I'm gonna make every girl in town

Jealous when she's around

I'm walking the line 'cause I'm glad that she's mine 

I'm living in paradise

I know I can't go wrong by just stringing along

With sweet little miss blue eyes

Who's gonna start taking care of my heart

She makes me realize

It's love, she's for me, and I really want to be

With sweet little miss blue eyes

The Lighthouse

There’s a lighthouse on a hillside

That overlooks the sea

When I’m tossed it sends out a light

That I might see

And the light that shines in darkness now

Will safely lead us o’er

If it wasn’t for the lighthouse

My ship would be no more

And I thank God for the lighthouse

I owe my life to him

For Jesus is the lighthouse

And from the rocks of sin

He has shown a light around me

That I can clearly see

If it wasn’t for the lighthouse

Where would this ship be

Everybody that lives around us says

Tear that lighthouse down

The big ships don’t sail this way anymore

There’s no use of it standing ‘round

Then my mind goes back to that stormy night

When just in time I saw the light

Yes, the light from that old lighthouse

That stands up there on the hill

And I thank God for the lighthouse

I owe my life to him

For Jesus is the lighthouse

And from the rocks of sin

He has shown a light around me

That I can clearly see

If it wasn’t for the lighthouse

Where would this ship be

The Old Swinging Bridge

My old scrap book is hidden away

I kept it in memory of you

This old scrapbook is just a bouquet

Of things that we used to do

Memories haunt me each night in my dreams

It seems I can still see you there

Your lovin’ arms held out to me

And smiling so sweet and so fair

Don’t you remember the hours we spent

Swinging on the old swinging bridge

From June to December together we went

Swinging on the old swinging bridge

Memories haunt me each night in my dreams

It seems I can still see you there

Your lovin’ arms held out to me

And smiling so sweet and so fair

We built a dream across the old mill stream

And tho the years have gone by

I’ll still keep your memory here in my heart

And I wonder if you wonder why

Memories haunt me each night in my dreams

It seems I can still see you there

Your lovin’ arms held out to me

And smiling so sweet and so fair

Memories haunt me each night in my dreams

It seems I can still see you there

Your lovin’ arms held out to me

And smiling so sweet and so fair

You’ll Get No More Of Me

Since he’s gone from me you want all that’s left

The last thread of pride in my heart

Till you’ve brung the last tear drop from my eyes

You won’t be satisfied

So take your cold and lovin’ heart

Your eyes too blinded to see

You never found the door to this heart of mine

You’ll get no more of me

You wrecked my heart like the cold winter storm

Bending my branches so low

Oh your wayward heart and your tortured sole

With no memory worthy to hold

So take your cold and lovin’ heart

Your eyes to blinded to see

You never found the door to this heart of mine

You’ll get no more of me

So I’ll take back my heart from the willow then

I’ll hang my tears out to dry

I’ll hang my head in sorrow no more

And no more tears will I cry

So take your cold and lovin’ heart

Your eyes to blinded to see

You never found the door to this heart of mine

You’ll get no more of me

Your Love Is Like A Flower

It was long, long ago in the moonlight

We were sitting on the banks of the stream

When you whispered so sweetly I love you

As the waters murmured a tune

Oh they tell me your love is like a flower

 In the springtime blossoms so fair

 In the fall when it withers away dear

 And they tell me that's the way of your love

I remember the night little darling

We were talking of days gone by

When you told me you always would love me

That for me your love would never die

Oh they tell me your love is like a flower

 In the springtime blossoms so fair

 In the fall when it withers away dear

 And they tell me that's the way of your love

It was spring when you whispered these words dear

The flowers were all blooming so fair

But today as the snow falls around us

I can see that your love is not there

Oh they tell me your love is like a flower

 In the springtime blossoms so fair

 In the fall when it withers away dear

 And they tell me that's the way of your love

Oh they tell me your love is like a flower

 In the springtime blossoms so fair

 In the fall when it withers away dear

 And they tell me that's the way of your love
