Best Of The Early Years [Polymedia] lyrics

(Claude Boone)

I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
I hope that you'll be happy just the same.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing now for you and me
And down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me.

(Irving Mills - Cliff Friend)

I got a feelin' called the blues
Oh Lord, since my baby's said goodbye
Oh, I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord.

That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lord, I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you
She's got that kinda lovin'.

Lord, I love to hear her
When she calls me sweet daddy

(Hank Williams - Fred Rose)

Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and, oh, how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill.

--- Instrumental ---

Do you recall when we parted
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill.

--- Instrumental ---

(Hank Williams)

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But when I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die. oh Lawd
And then I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry
She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blues.

I had me a woman who couldn't be untrue
She made me for money and she made me blue
A man needs a woman that he can lean on

(Hank Williams)

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothing I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Lord, what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin', moanin' the blues.

I wrote a nice long letter sayin' mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan
I've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long I can't afford to lose her now
