Songs Of The Kingwood Kowboy

What Might Have Been (Larry W Jones 03/25/2020) (song #7701)

Today at lunch he mentioned a familiar name

Of a different girl but it set my mind aflame

I felt as though he could read the thoughts of my mind

For my heart and my lost dreams are so intertwined

I wonder just what you became

There’s no need to establish blame

I ponder how it was back then

We’ll never know what might have been

(Instrumental)

You were so courageous and never very shy

Not thinking I said things outrageous on the fly

We both laughed together and sometimes we would cry

And I still wonder why we ever said goodbye

I wonder just what you became

There’s no need to establish blame

I ponder how it was back then

We’ll never know what might have been

(Instrumental)

Oh, there have been times when I tried my best to call

When I picked up the phone to dial my hand would stall

If you answered I would not have known what to say

I guess it’s been the best to keep things as they lay

I wonder just what you became

There’s no need to establish blame

I ponder how it was back then

We’ll never know what might have been

We’ll never know what might have been

A Rose And An Almond Joy (Larry W Jones 03/13/2020) (song #7700)

Bop ba doo bop ba doo bop ba doo bop ba

We had a squabble a schoolkid squabble

I made her as blue as a girl can be

And the phone she hung up when I rung up

Now I’m as blue as a school boy can be

So I’m going to give her a real treat

Things I know she won’t destroy

One has petals and one is very sweet

A rose and an Almond Joy

(Instrumental)

Bop ba doo bop ba doo bop ba doo bop ba

I made her as blue as a girl can be

So I have got to time this thing just right

Here’s how I plan to bring her back to me

A small present that’s pleasant in her sight

Yes I’m going to give her a real treat

Things I know she won’t destroy

One has petals and one is very sweet

A rose and an Almond Joy

One has petals and one is very sweet

A rose and an Almond Joy

Broken Dream Of Harmony (Larry W Jones 03/11/2020) (song #7699)

Broken dream of harmony that I thought was her and me

Now I’m caught in misery that will never let me be

Oh, broken dream of harmony what was I thinking of

This old sinking feeling is not in harmony with love

Broken dream of harmony that I thought was her and me

All it brought was agony of love that was not to be

Oh, broken dream of harmony to what place were you bound

There is no harmony where my poor heart can now be found

(Instrumental)

Broken dream of harmony that I thought was her and me

She is now a memory that only in dreams I see

Oh, broken dream of harmony is there a hope for me

For I cannot cope with a broken dream of harmony

Broken dream of harmony that I thought was her and me

Now I’m caught in misery that will never let me be

Oh, broken dream of harmony what was I thinking of

This old sinking feeling is not in harmony with love

Whippoorwill Son (Larry W Jones 03/05/2020) (song #7698)

Well, I just heard a whippoorwill call from the hill

It sounded just like his sad song was sung for me

Maybe he made fun or thought that I was his son

No wonder, I’m sad as a whippoorwill could be

No, I never thought whippoorwills called so early

The golden sun hasn’t crawled up to bring the dawn

And he can’t even see that my eyes are blurry

But I’m just as sad as if a whippoorwill son

(Instrumental)

Father whippoorwill, what sad song will you now do?

We two are so sad that we are birds of one kind

A whippoorwill son, that’s what I am, it is true

Cause this whippoorwill son will never make her mine

No, I never thought whippoorwills called so early

The golden sun hasn’t crawled up to bring the dawn

And he can’t even see that my eyes are blurry

But I’m just as sad as if a whippoorwill son

A whippoorwill son, that’s what I am it is true

Cause this whippoorwill son will never make her mine

Written On The Back Page Of Life (Larry W Jones 02/03/2020) (song #7697)

I believed that wealth could buy honor and fame

But on the back page my life was written in vain

Now out of money that I know I threw away

No days are sunny because the skies are all gray

So, here is the message for fools who need advice

Written on the back page of life

Written on the back page of life

(Instrumental)

My only treasure was a sweet kind hearted girl

And she was a pleasure sent to brighten my world

But I was such a fool and did things that would hurt

Loss of wealth and her sweet love was my just desert

So, here is the message for fools who need advice

Written on the back page of life

Written on the back page of life

(Instrumental)

Now I do regret that I have debts due to pay

My wealth and honor are traits that I threw away

Yes, I was such a fool and did things that would hurt

Loss of wealth and her sweet love was my just desert

So, here is the message for fools who need advice

Written on the back page of life

Written on the back page of life

What’s Wrong With Your Brain Jane (Larry W Jones 03/01/2020) (song #7696)

What’s wrong with your brain Jane, you’ve lost your beau

You broke his love chain Jane, he loved you so

His heart is in pain Jane, now he’s alone

You caused it to rain Jane, now that he’s gone

So stay in your house Jane, that’s built of cards

Sad tears you have roused Jane, without regards

Oh, you’re now to blame Jane, reap what you sow

What’s wrong with you brain Jane, you’ll never know

(Instrumental)

Now you’ve staked your claim Jane, not one of fame

You’re the one to blame Jane, he knows the same

Oh, he was fair game Jane, back where he’s been

What’s wrong with your brain Jane, you’ll never win

So stay in your house Jane, that’s built of cards

Sad tears you have roused Jane, without regards

Oh, you’re now to blame Jane, reap what you sow

What’s wrong with you brain Jane, you’ll never know

What’s wrong with your brain Jane, I loved you so

Piney Woods Shade (Larry W Jones 02/28/2020) (song #7695)

I’m a rover who’s been over

Just about everywhere it seems

I have travelled and I’ve dabbled

Trying to unravel my dreams

Some of a man’s dreams should come true

For all the big plans that he’s made

But now I know where they all grew

Back home in the piney woods shade

(Instrumental)

Down to east Texas I must roam

And return to the piney woods shade

In the piney woods is my home

Where the dreams I left never fade

When I return as a poor man

I’ll feel like a king on parade

Among the trees where I began

Living in the piney woods shade

(Instrumental)

My young life was like a song there

Now I know just where I belong

Tall are the trees and sweet the air

In the shade of piney woods home

When I return as a poor man

I’ll feel like a king on parade

Among the trees where I began

Living in the piney woods shade

You Sing A Song And I’ll Sing Along (Larry W Jones 02/27/2020) (song #7694)

You sing a song and I’ll sing along

We’ll be birds of a feather

You sing a song and I’ll sing along

No matter what the weather

Now, you sing tenor and I’ll sing bass

We’ll sing out any old place

Oh, you sing tenor and I’ll sing bass

I’ll sing along at your pace

(Instrumental)

You sing a strain and I’ll sing refrain

Like trains rolling down the track

You sing a strain and I’ll sing refrain

You and I have got the knack

You sing a song and I’ll sing along

We’ll be birds of a feather

You sing a song and I’ll sing along

No matter what the weather

You sing a song and I’ll sing along

Long as you and I are together

Born By The Back Bayou (Larry W Jones 02/26/2020) (song #7693)

Well, when I was a little Cajun boy

Ridin’ on my Daddy’s knee

Daddy said, Jean my Louisiana joy

You’ll be a Cajun like me

And I recall the wooden pirogue trawl

Fishin’ in the back bayou

Alligator eyes and lightnin’ fireflies

Tryin’ get a bite of you

Born by the back bayou

Born by the back bayou

Born by the back bayou in Louisian’

(Instrumental)

I wish I was back on the back bayou

Married to a Cajun queen

I’m gonna take a train to New Orleans

Gotta make that Cajun scene

Born by the back bayou

Born by the back bayou

Born by the back bayou in Louisian’

(Instrumental)

And I recall the wooden pirogue trawl

Fishin’ in the back bayou

Alligator eyes and lightnin’ fireflies

Tryin’ get a bite of you

Born by the back bayou

Born by the back bayou

Born by the back bayou in Louisian’

This Ordinary Simple Man (Larry W Jones 02/25/2020) (song #7692)

Maybe I could have been more than this ordinary simple man

But my darling I’ve worked hard just to make you understand

That these calloused hands have done extraordinary things for my plan

To ask for your hand by this ordinary simple man

I ask of you with ordinary simple words

For I never knew how to speak with fancy lines

My simple home is not one built as house of lords

Please dear, accept this ordinary simple man

(Instrumental)

I don’t have any gold but true and simple love I can afford

Each day with you will show that I will love you more and more

And you will know this is true from the day my love for you began

So I beg dear, accept this ordinary simple man

I ask of you with ordinary simple words

For I never knew how to speak with fancy lines

My simple home is not one built as house of lords

Please dear, accept this ordinary simple man

Accept this ordinary simple man
