The wind blew from the mountains
And the clouds were sweeping low
As a ragged band
Of Cheyenne Indians
Stopped along the road
Among them was a young girl
Who lay dying of fever
Just about a hundred years ago
A hundred years ago

The light was swiftly fading
And the night it promised snow
So they wrapped her in an army coat
To keep her from the cold
Placed silver thimbles on her fingers
So someone’s God would know
She was a useful girl, who could sew
She could sew

Then darkness swirled around them
Like a curtain on a stage
Like the closing of a door
The turning of a page

They say a lifetime’s over
In a twinkling of an eye
And it hardly counts for nothing
As the ages roll on by
Kings and Queens and Pharaohs
Have left mighty works in stone
Just to let someone know

That’s how the workmen found her
They were widening the road
Wrapped in an army coat
Where they left her long ago
With silver thimbles on her fingers
She slept beneath the snow
A useful girl
Who could sew

D. Edwards, C. Greer, G. Jones

That all it took, the mention of your name
And all my love for you burst into flame
I’ve tried so hard to let you go
But oh, how I still tremble at your name
That’s all it took

That’s all it took, to let me know that I still care
It seems that I just can’t give up the dreams we used to share
I tell my friends I’m happy, but they read me like a book
And when today I heard them say your name
That’s all it took

That’s all it took to make me yearn for your embrace
I guess I might as well admit no one can take your place
I fell for you completely…sinker, line and hook
And when today I heard them say your name
That’s all it took

J. Gillespie, Stan Webb

What’s your worry, smile if you dare
This old world ain’t goin’ nowhere
Come tomorrow, it’ll still be the same
One day sunshine and the next day rain

Man or woman, boy or girl
Life is a rhinestone, life is a pearl
Take the pleasure right along with the pain
One day sunshine and the next day rain

One day sunshine and the next day rain
Count your losses, count your gains

Man or woman, boy or girl
Life is a rhinestone, life is a pearl
Take the pleasure right along with the pain
One day sunshine, next day rain

J. Bateman

Just a little on the outside
To see what’s going on
I can feel it, I can feel it
Comin’ in so strong
Is the love all gone?

I know I’m a little crazy
I haven’t been myself
I know, I know, I know
I’ve been like someone else
But you bring out the worst in me
The worst is all you see

Still, we’re dancing out of time
And hearts are beating way too fast
Could I be a little out of line
And say our love won’t last?
When you know all I need
Is to hold you next to me
What’s going on?
Is the love all gone?

Could it be the end
Of a love so strong?
I can’t help myself
I feel it comin’ on
‘Cause I’ve been there before
And I know how it feels
So let’s stop pretending
And just say what’s real

‘Cause god you picked a bad time
To be leadin’ me on
Don’t worry about my feelings
‘Cause I’ll be packed and gone
If the love’s all gone
If the love’s all gone

S. Tucker

I was walkin’ with my true love
When I saw her standin’ there
When their eyes fell on each other
It was plain that he still cared

Just a girl he knew before me
Just a girl who caught his eye
Just someone who barely mattered
And I know he’d never lie

He’d never lie
When he says that it’s over
He’d never lie
When he says that they’re through
He’d never lie
When he says he don’t love her anymore
He’d never lie
But he can’t tell me the truth

He’ll never tell me why they parted
He’ll never tell me why he cries
H just says it doesn’t matter
And I know he’d never lie

And I believe…
That it’s only me he dreams of
And I believe…
That his love for me is true
And I believe…
What he gives to me
Is nothin’ less than love
He’d never lie
But he can’t tell me the truth

So I hold him, and I love him
And I’ll never ask him why
Those old memories still burn inside him
‘Cause I know…
He’d never lie

P. McCann

Everywhere I go
Everyone I know
Sees the change inside
I try so hard
But there’s a broken heart
That this broken smile can’t hide
I think of all the love we had
Then I wonder why a love goes bad

We’re talkin’ tears
Until the river runs dry
Tears, since you said goodbye
What am I gonna do?
I’ve got to learn to do without you
Do without you
It was love
It was the real thing
‘Cause this is pain
That only love can bring
We’re talkin’ tears
‘Til there’s no more tears to cry

I’m gonna make it through
I’ll get over you in the long run
But until that day
I’ve got to chip away
At the damage that you’ve done
And when you took your love from me
I wish you would have taken
All your memories

We’re talkin’ tears
Until the river runs dry
Tears, since you said goodbye
What am I gonna do?
I’ve got to learn to do without you
Do without you
It was love
It was the real thing
‘Cause this is pain
That only love can bring
We’re talkin’ tears
‘Til there’s no more tears to cry

V. Hensly, L. Clarborne, J. Crawford

I wake up ever mornin’, my heart’s full of pain
I look out the window and it’s pourin’ down the rain
And I cry “Baby, oh baby…don’t ever leave me again”

I miss your lovin’, your kisses too
Ain’t nothin’ on earthi wouldn’t do for you
Whe I cry “Baby, oh baby…don’t’ every leave me again”

When rain starts fallin’, and I start callin’
“Oh baby how I love you”
My heart is cryin’…I feel like dyin’

Baby you know I want you so
Tell me that you’re mine, until the end of time
When I cry “Baby, oh baby…don’t ever leave me again”
Don’t ever leave me again

K. Williams

Well I met her in Missoula back in 1969
Saw her ten years later way up on the High-line
She’s the “Star of Bannack,” sweetheart of the rodeo
Dancehall girl way out west a hundred years ago

She loves to stomp, she’s in your face
She’ll rock this joint, she’ll wreck this place
She’s sweet temptation, original sin
Montana Rose is back again

She could live forever in this state of mind
With a honky tonk song and a glass of wine
Listen to her sing, listen to her play
Lister to her shout out loud and you can hear her say

She sings a sweet, sweet song that can break your heart
She can tell sweet lies that tear you all apart
Keep you dancing all night long until the break of day
Always leaves you wanting more and then she rides away

M. Tillis, B. Petty

I got me a room
At a cheap motel
Me head was spinnin’
And I didn’t feel well
I laid right down
And tried to go to sleep
The band was a playin’
In the joint underneath
I picked up my pillow
And covered up my head
The band kept a playin’
And shakin’ my bed

Honky Tonk
All night long
Honky Tonk
The same old song
Honky Tonk
The money’s all gone
Honky Tonk
H done me wrong
I turned and I tossed
I couldn’t go to sleep
The band kept a playin’
With a honky tonk beat

Now I’m so blue
My baby’s gone
He took all my money
And he left me all alone
I’m tryin’ to forget him
But I don’t know what to do
The honky tonk song
Keeps leakin’ through
I picked up my pillow
And covered up my head
The band kept a playin’
And shakin’ my bed

K. Welch, W. Wilson

Jealous arms
Hold on a little too tight
A jealous mind
Will keep you awake all night
And jealous eyes
See what they wanna see
Just look at you and me

We had a love built on honor and trust
‘Til one dark night
Temptation became too much
Though I swore to you
That it would never happen again
Things just haven’t been the same
Since then

Jealousy
Is the enemy
It ain’t you and me
That keeps tearin’ us up
Jealousy
Has come between you and me
Jealousy
Is the enemy of love

We must make a stand
And draw the battle lines
I’ll be on your side baby
If you’ll be on mine
Get it out of your heart
Out of your soul
Before it takes control
