All Mama’s Children (Perkins/Cash)

There was an old lady who lived in a shoe
Had so many children she didn’t know what to do
She doin’ all right ‘til she took ‘em to town
And then the kids saw ‘em pickin’ ‘em up and layin’ ‘em down
All your children gonna rock, mama
All your children wants to roll
They wanna roll, they wanna rock
They wanna rock until they pop
‘Cause all your children wanna rock
Well all right

Well I’m tryin’ to live too fast
We might as well try to live in class
We better move out before the rent comes due
Mama we wanna live in a blue suede shoe
All mama’s children wanna rock
I said all mama’s children wanna roll
They wanna roll, they wanna rock
They wanna bop until they pop
‘Cause all mama’s children wanna rock
Yehhhhh-ssss
Uuummmm-hhmmmm

Yeah every night when it’s quite still
You hear it echoin’ through the hill
Up to a blue suede shoe on a mountain top
All mama’s children they’re doin’ the bop
All mama’s children wanna rock
I said all your children want to roll
They wanna roll, they wanna rock
They wanna bop until they pop
Yes all mama’s children wanna rock

Yeah


Turn Around (Perkins)

When you’re all alone and blue
And the world looks down on you
Turn around
I’ll be following you

When you find that love is gone
And you realize you’re wrong
Turn around
I’ll be following you

Turn around
I’ll be waiting behind you
I’ll have a love that’s real
And never ever dies

If you feel that love will last
And you’d like to live your past
Turn around
I’ll be following you

Maybe dark can make you see
That your love was just for me
Honey turn around
I’ll be following you

And when you realize you’re wrong
And you find true love is gone
Turn around
I’ll be follow-in’ you

Turn around
I’ll be waiting behind you
With a love that’s real
And never ever dies

If you feel that love will last
And you’d like to live your past
Just turn around
I’ll be following you
Turn around
I’ll be following you


Tina (St. Nicholas)

Tina, can you see me
I’ve been wantin’ you
Tina, will you please-a
Say you love me too

Call me if you want to
I’ll be by the phone
Leave me when you want to
I’ve been on my own

Don’t follow me ‘til you understand
I’ll just try to be what a lover can

Call me if you want to
I’ll be by the phone
Leave me when you want to
I’ll be on my own


Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard (Adams)

Sure To Fall (In Love With You) (Claunch/Perkins/Cantrell)

Well I’m sure to fall
Fall in love
I’m sure to fall in love with you

You are so sweet
And we are so near
I’m sure to fall in love with you

So hold me tight
Let tonight be the night
Darling don’t ever let me go

For loving you
Is the natural thing to do
I want you for the rest of my life

So hold me tight
Let tonight be the night
Oh darling don’t ever let me go

For loving you
Is the natural thing to do
I want you for the rest of my life


Flat Foot Flewzy (Ferguson)

Ooooooooo-wee

I’m so doggone dirty
‘Cause I’m Flat Foot Flewzy
And I walk like a tweety bird
While I’m singing this bluesy

I got a gal named Lucy
But like to call her Lizzie
She calls her man Flewzy
And she keeps him real busy

Well I’m Flat Foot Flewzy
It’s all right

Mr. Flewzy won’t you tell us ‘bout your big flat feet
Why sure, it kinda helps me with the rock and roll beat
Come along with me and things will be all right
Singing Flewzy woozy boogie on a Saturday night

Well I’m so doggone dirty
‘Cause I’m Flat Foot Flewzy
And I can walk like a tweety birdy
While I’m singing this bluesy

I got a gal named Lucy
But like to call her Lizzie
She calls her man Flewzy
And she keeps him real busy

Well I’m Flat Foot Flewzy
It’s all right

Well it’s hard to believe that you walk like a bird
Well that’s just what I said, so I meant what you heard
Come along with me and things will be all right
Singing Flewzy woozy boogie on a Saturday night

Bow-da-duh-dow-bow-woh-who-oh-oh
Bow-wow-wow-oh-oh
Woh-yeah
Yeah-ee yeah-ee, etc

Flat Foot Flewzy
F-flat Foot Flewzy (all right)

Flat Foot Flewzy (it’s all right)
Flat Foot Flewzy (it’s all right)
Flat Foot Flewzy (it’s all right)
Bap-pap-ow-doo All right
Flat Foot Flewzy (it’s all right)


Sorry Charlie (Perkins)

I took her from the gutter
Just where you threw her down
You walked on her like she was dirt
And you kept on walkin’ ‘round

Now I’m sorry Charlie
Just as sorry as I can be
Listen to me
Well that’s the way the cookie crumbles
Charles she belongs to me
Yessiree

You took advantage of her young love
And high-class intellect
Why you’re so low that you don’t know
The meaning of respect

Now I’m sorry Charlie
I’m just as sorry as I can be
Mm-mm-mmmm
Woh that’s the way the cookie crumbles
Charles she belongs to me
Yessiree
Let’s go brother one time
Play that guitar baby ooo
Yes get it

You make brags around this town
To get you you satisfied
You just braggin’ Charlie ‘cause deep down
You know you’ve lied
And I’m sorry Charlie
Well I’m just as sorry as I can be
Yes-sir-ee
Woh that’s the way the cookie crumbles
Charles she belongs to me
Mm-mm-mmmm

Well now we’re both in love
And we’re about to say "I do"
That’s all she wrote, Charlie
We won’t be needin’ you

Lord I’m sorry Charlie
I’m just as sorry as I can be
You better listen to me, yessiree
That’s the way the cookie crumbles
Charles she belongs to me
Mm-mm-mm, all right
Now we hear that organ one time and let’s go

All right let’s rock with it here a little bit
I’m sorry Charlie
Oh I’m sorry
Yeah, all right

I’m sorry Charlie
Sorry as I can be
All right
Yessuh


Step Aside (Ferguson)

Step aside
But don’t that take your ears away
And hear the song that says
What are we to say
It’s not a wailing blues
It’s just a song for youse
So hear what we’ve got presently to say

Well you might think that we’re silly
But you don’t care and you really
Don’t quite know we’re helpin’ sinners pay their dues
And you might think that we’re dumb
But we’re havin’ lots of fun
Not worryin’ ‘bout the next payday
A-feedin’ on the songs we play
Knowin’ that we’ll soon be on our way

So honey step aside


Rip It Up (Blackwell/Marascalco)

Well it’s Saturday night and I just got paid
Fool about my money, don’t try to save
Heart says go, go have a time
‘Cause it’s Saturday night and I’m feelin’ fine
Gonna rock it up
Gonna rip it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball tonight

Got me a date and I won’t be late
Gonna pick her up in my ‘88
Go on down to the union hall
When the joint starts jumpin’ we’ll have a ball
Gonna rock it up
Gonna rip it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball tonight

Oooooo-hoooo

‘Long about 10 I’ll be feelin’ fine
Rockin’ out on into the sky
I don’t care how I spend my dough
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna be one happy soul
Gonna rock it up
Gonna rip it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball tonight
Gotta rock it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta shake it up
Gotta ball it up
Gotta rock it up
Oh and ball tonight


Allergic To Love (Perkins)

Somethin’s wrong you don’t want to hold my hand
Has love grown cold or is there another man
Hang on woman and give your heart a shove
That’s all right mama
You’re just allergic to love

I can’t stand to see you all alone
Stay with me even though we know it’s wrong
Oh hang on woman and give your heart a shove
Well that’s all right mama
You’re just allergic to love

Somethin’s wrong you don’t want to hold my hand
Has love grown cold or is there another man
Hang on woman and give your heart a shove
That’s all right mama
You’re just allergic to love

I can’t stand to see you all alone
Stay with me even though we know it’s wrong
Oh hang on woman and give your heart a shove
Well that’s all right mama
You’re just allergic to love
I said hang on woman and give your heart a shove
Oh-oh-oh-oh that’s all right mama
You’re just allergic to love


On The Farm (Adams)

Pleasant floating wood upon the freshly flowing rain
When it dries remember not to sand against the grain
See the grass so green

Do not waste a penny of the money that you earn
But summer’s calling, you’re forgetting everything you learned
See the sky so blue
I’m in love with you
And you’ll love me too
Even during winter

Chickens in the backyard, we can borrow a few eggs
We’ll always remember that they’d like to keep their legs
Hear the rooster’s crow (erh-er-er-errrrrr)

Oh
There won’t be an operator, there won’t be a phone
There won’t be no city water ‘cause we’ll have our own
See the water dear
Oh It’s crystal clear
Don’t you have no fear
Even during winter

The clouds way up
In the sky
Up against your eye
Go together well
To spell
"I love you"
