Why I Smile (Larry W Jones 02/15/2020) (song #7680)

Why is there a smile on my face all the time

And why is it that I’m never blue

Memories we share are read like verse and rhyme

Why I smile is all because of you

I know the world’s made of more than you and me

But our world dear each day is brand new

Nothing needs to change so we’ll just let it be

Why I smile is all because of you

(Instrumental)

You know I’ll always hold you close to my heart

Like a rose refreshed by morning dew

And I must say dear as I did at the start

Why I smile is all because of you

I know the world’s made of more than you and me

But our world dear each day is brand new

Nothing needs to change so we’ll just let it be

Why I smile is all because of you

Nothing needs to change so we’ll just let it be

Why I smile is all because of you

Sweet Tea Of Tennessee (Larry W Jones 02/14/2020) (song #7679)

There’s a tea room in a town in old Tennessee

The waitress is a lady fair as fair can be

Now, love is a story older than you and me

But my new love is now the Tea of Tennessee

I can’t forget the time I visited that room

She looked so fine just like a blossom in full bloom

I took a look at her and she looked back at me

She read me like a book, sweet Tea of Tennessee

(Instrumental)

I can’t forget the time I visited that room

She looked so fine just like a blossom in full bloom

I took a look at her and she looked back at me

She read me like a book, sweet Tea of Tennessee

Now she owns that little tea room in Tennessee

We have a little one who looks like her and me

The true love we three have will last eternally

It all started with my sweet Tea of Tennessee

Everything New Nothing Old (Larry W Jones 02/12/2020) (song #7677)

Everything new nothing old

Every day with you is like fine gold

Nothing old everything new

Every day I’m more in love with you

Nothing gets old when you smile

Walk a new mile on country a road

To be with you for awhile

Everything new nothing old I know

(Instrumental)

Everything new nothing old

And nothing can ever make me blue

Nothing old everything new

And no lonely hours cause I’m with you

Everything new nothing old

Every day with you is like fine gold

Nothing old everything new

Every day I’m more in love with you

Everything new nothing old

Every day I’m more in love with you

Bring Me A Personal Memory (Larry W Jones 02/09/2020) (song #7675)

Meet me face to face love and tell me

Why you left me alone standing there

Bring me a personal memory

Not in a day dream that I can’t bear

Your love for me was warm as sunshine

So why is it now that you don’t care

Bring me a personal memory

Face to face dear is only fair

(Instrumental)

I have lost my world of happiness

One that was so sweet and oh so rare

Bring me a personal memory

Not one that comes in from everywhere

Meet me face to face love and tell me

Why you left me alone standing there

Bring me a personal memory

Not in a day dream that I can’t bear

Bring me a personal memory

Face to face dear is only fair

Big Bone Jones (Larry W Jones 02/13/2020) (song #7678)

Watch the swing of my nine pound hammer

And watch the lean muscles in my side

Hear the steel spike drive down with clamor

I’ll keep drivin’ spikes until I die

Well now sweet Daisy Mae

I build the right of way

Hey hey sweet Daisy Mae

Trains will roll night and day

I’m the best on a nine pound hammer

Nine pound hammer and a big bone frame

Two dollars a day got no glamour

Big Bone Jones is my name and my game

Well now sweet Daisy Mae

I build the right of way

Hey hey sweet Daisy Mae

Trains will roll night and day

Worked all my life in the hot hot sun

With sweet Daisy Mae I love to be

She calls me big bone Jones and her hun

This hammer will be the death of me

Well now sweet Daisy Mae

I build the right of way

Hey hey sweet Daisy Mae

Trains will roll night and day

Big Bone Jones is my name and my game

Nine pound hammer and a big bone frame

Big bone Jones

Big bone Jones

End Of A Long Sidetrack Line (Larry W Jones 02/08/2020) (song #7674)

False love you have been my own rose

You must have thought I had been blind

Lies are clear on you as your nose

It’s end of a long sidetrack line

You thought I’d have a broken heart

When you walked out with me behind

You filled your cart but you weren’t smart

It’s end of a long sidetrack line

End of a long sidetrack line

(Instrumental)

You thought I’d have a broken heart

When you walk out with me behind

You filled your cart but you weren’t smart

It’s end of a long sidetrack line

You know I paid full fare for you

I dressed you up in clothes so fine

Your main line train is overdue

It’s end of a long sidetrack line

End of a long sidetrack line

Lanky Cowpokes (Larry W Jones 02/11/2020) (song #7676)

He sat down at a table that was empty

And looked like he didn’t have a lot to say

Said to the waitress with the name tag Betty

I think I’ll just have the special for today

Betty looked him over from boots to Stetson

And noticed that his face was shaded quite brown

A real cowboy, not like some city Texans

Cause Betty had seen them all a-comin’ round

She said howdy lanky cowpoke

Are your cows out in the scrub oaks

You sure look bent but you ain’t broke

Where’s your big spread lanky cowpoke

How the way the world goes round we’ll never know

They wed in the Spring with Betty much adorned

Less than one year later at a Winter snow

A brand new little lanky cowpoke had been born

Betty kept him warm wrapped in a blue blanket

She knew he would be a cowboy one fine day

Of all life’s joys, for this one she was thankful

And they would raise him to know a cowboy’s way

She said howdy lanky cowpoke

You’ll have cows out in the scrub oaks

You’re young but you’ll be a cow folk

On our big spread lanky cowpoke

Well, the years went by and the work got harder

Her two lanky cowboys were bacon earners

Their faces aged and wrinkles were in order

But Betty’s face was still one of a charmer

Then one day Betty knew her life was ending

They both gathered round her lying on her bed

And as over her both of them were bending

She looked into their eyes and then gently said

Well now, howdy lanky cowpokes

Brand the cows out in the scrub oaks

You both look bent but you ain’t broke

Adios you lanky cowpokes

I love both you lanky cowpokes

Rose Blooming By The Sea (Larry W Jones 02/07/2020) (song #7673)

On a day long ago the sun was setting low

Her true love went to sail across the sea

The month it was June with the roses all in bloom

When he held her close and said sincerely

Dear, you’re a rose blooming in the meadow

A rose blooming in the meadow for me

Fresh as morning dew I’ll return to you

To my meadow rose blooming by the sea

(Instrumental)

On a dreary day came a letter sad to say

That her young darling sailor was now dead

Oh, shock and surprise as tears filled her eyes

As she remembered sweet words he had said

Dear, you’re a rose blooming in the meadow

A rose blooming in the meadow for me

Fresh as morning dew I’ll return to you

To my meadow rose blooming by the sea

(Instrumental)

He’s now a memory for he drowned in the sea

Her young sailor was lost within the spray

The month when it’s June with the roses all in bloom

She still can hear words her sailor did say

Dear, you’re a rose blooming in the meadow

A rose blooming in the meadow for me

Fresh as morning dew I’ll return to you

To my meadow rose blooming by the sea

Mainline Train Of Time (Larry W Jones 02/05/2020) (song #7671)

I sit alone at the depot

Watching folks who look mighty fine

I would ride but I’ve got no dough

For that mainline train of time

I don’t see in me no future

And I don’t have a will to climb

I’m sidetracked and just a loser

By that mainline train of time

Train train mainline train of time

Train train I’m way past my prime

Mainline train of time passed me by

(Instrumental)

No more does she call me darlin’

No more songs of love with their rhymes

I’m sidetracked from her departing

On that mainline train of time

I don’t see in me no future

And I don’t have a will to climb

I’m sidetracked and just a loser

By that mainline train of time

Train train mainline train of time

Train train I’m way past my prime

Mainline train of time passed me by

It Takes A Lot Of Dough (Larry W Jones 02/04/2020) (song #7670)

Oh it takes a lot of dough

Babe for me to be your beau

I’m so in love with you babe

But my dough is runnin’ thin

I try my best but can’t save

Flower prices rose again

Oh it takes a lot of dough

Babe for me to be your beau

(Instrumental)

Oh babe I’m no movie star

Don’t drive no Cadillac car

Ain’t got nothing much to show

Ain’t got much and low on dough

Clothes I’m wearin’ done wore out

No pretty sight ain’t no doubt

Oh it takes a lot of dough

Babe for me to be your beau

(Instrumental)

I’m so in love with you babe

But my dough is runnin’ thin

Oh it takes a lot of dough

Babe for me to be your beau
