Singing Ranger Vol 2 lyrics

Written by Jack Newman

Recorded by Hank Snow

Whispering rain, whisper your song to me,
There on my roof, my window pane, whispering rain,

Drive all my blues away,

Now that she’s gone, I’m all alone,

Can’t stand the pain,

Whispering rain, whispering rain.

Now that she’s gone, I’ve no lover,

I look at the rain and I wonder;

Written and recorded by Hank Snow

Let me tell you a sad but true story

Let it be an example to man
How I tore down the world of my sweetheart

She was known as The Blue Velvet Band

On her cheeks were the first splash of nature

Her beauty, it seemed to expand

Her golden hair hung in tresses

Tied back with a blue velvet band

But I boarded a tanker for Holland

Within my prison cell so dreary

I sit alone with achin' heart

I'm dreamin' of my little darlin'

From her forever, I must part

The rose she sent me as a token

She sent it just to lighten my gloom

And tell me that her heart was broken

And cheer me before I meet my doom

She wrote I picked it from the garden,

Where once we wandered side by side.

Written by Ted Daffan - Herman Shoss

Recorded by Hank Snow

I've got a tangled mind I've got a broken heart

Don't have a dime and my time is short

I got a gal somewhere I guess she thinks I'm dead

I'd go back home if I could clear my head

Cryin' cryin' all of the time I've got a broken heart I've got a tangled mind

I lost a million friends I'm trudgin' on in the dark

C

I thought I w-as through missing you
F

I thought I was through being blue

C G7

And t-hen someone ment-ioned your n-ame

C

Some careless friend just chanced to say

F

That t-hey saw you the other day

Recorded by Hank Snow

Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues

'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way

Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night

'Cause everything's wrong, there ain't nothin' right

Without you, you got me singin' the blues.

Now the moon and stars no longer shine

The dream is gone I thought was mine

Recorded by Hank Snow

If I had a scale to measure love
Like a clock can measure time

And we put our love upon that scale

Would your's weigh as much as mine

Of late is seems your thoughts are far away

I doubt if you hear half the things I say

I be hurt if I knew who you were thinkin' of

I'm so glad there's no scale to measure love

Mother dear, come bathe my forehead

For I'm growing very weak

Mother, let one drop of water

Fall upon my burnin' cheek
Tell my loving, little playmates

That I never more shall play

Give them all my toys but, Mother

Put my little shoes away

(You will do this, Mother, won't you)

(Put my little shoes away)

Give them all my toys but, Mother

Put my little shoes away

Cho. For you poison love has stained the life blood

in my heart and soul dear

And I know my life will never be the same

For my pleading has all been in vain
for you and you alone dear

And you know that you are guilty of the same.

1. Into each life a love is born for one

and one alone dear

The love I chose was surely not for me

Recorded by Hank Snow

When I was a lad

And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray

Just a boy and his dog

We were both full of fun

We grew up together that way

I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole

When I would have drowned beyond doubt

But old Shep was right there

To the rescue he came

He jumped in and then pulled me out

(Spoken)

He was just an old country doctor

In a little Kentucky town

Fame and fortune had passed him by

But we never saw him frown

As day by day in his kindly way

He served us one and all

Many a patient forgot to pay

Altho' doc's fees were small

But Old Doc Brown didn't seem to mind

He didn't even send out bills

His only ambition was to find

Recorded by Hank Snow

"M" is for marriage each letter spells love
"A" is alter where you're blessed from above

"R" is for ring lovers' faith set in gold

"R" is the richness of life it can hold

"I" is the infinite joy in the soul

"A" is the answer to life and its' goal

"G" is the giving of love without end

Words & Music by Hank Snow

Broken hearted and so sad, golden curls all wet with tears,

'twas a picture of sorrow to see.
Kneeling close to the side of his pal and only pride,

A little lad these words he told me.

He was such a lovely doggie and to me he was such fun,

but today as we played by the way

A drunken man got mad at him because he barked in joy,

Recorded by Hank Snow with Anita Carter

Keep your promise, Willie Thomas

We pledged our love one day beneath the whispering maple tree
You made a promise, Willie Thomas

That all the leaves would still be green when you returned to me

But my heart is chilled and my eyes are filled

As I watch the leaves of red and brown fall sadly to the ground

Allá en el rancho grande ("Ah yen el rancho granday")

Allá donde vívía ("All ya don day vi vee ya")

Hablá una rancherita ("Hab yoona rancha rita")

Que alegre me decía ("Kell yegra meh deh chee ya")
Que alegre me decía: ("Kell yegra meh deh chee ya")

"Te voy hacer unas calzones

comos los que esa el ranchero

Written by Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds - Jack Rimmings

Recorded by Hank Snow

Oh consience I'm guilty I'm guilty again

Now I'm driving home slowly my spirit's so low

I cheated on her again and why I'll never know

I hope I don't look too guilty when she lets me in

Oh conscience don't ever let me do that again

Oh conscience I'm guilty and I must confess

Written by Bob Nolan

Recorded by Hank Snow

(The rippling rills the cataract spills the whippoorwill thrills)
Take a look at the sky where the whippoorwill thrills

And the mountains so high where the cataract spills

Take a look at the falls and the rippling rills

Hear the wanderlust call of the whispering hills

(The rippling rills the cataract spills the whippoorwill thrills)

Recorded by Hank Snow

Blue sea keep a-rollin'
On your weary way

My sweetie has left me

She done drifted away

She hopped a big ocean liner

Headed out to the sea

And left a world full of worries

On the beach with me

I know that she's sorry

'Cause she left me this way

So hurry and tell her

To sail back to me

And when you find the big steamship

Just look for this sign

Oh them big wheels a-turnin', goin' somewhere

And they're carryin' her away from my side

Yes I cried, thought I died

Love was just a game to me, I thought I'd never cry

I thought she'd be the loser, but standing here am I

And that long train is rolling, goin' somewhere

And it's carryin' her away from my side

Yes I cried, thought I'd die
