I’m gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

I’m gonna treat you like a VIP I feel like you ain’t never known

Gonna have a brass band at the station

Gonna let ‘em know what the united nation

I’m a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

Well I think I hear old 99 round in the bend

And I know it won’t be long until you’re in my arms again

I’m a gonna love you hug and kiss you

Gonna let you know how much I miss you

I’m a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

Well I worn out my best shoes walking the floor

And I won’t sleep a wink till you knock on my door

Since I got a word that you was a coming

The clock on the wall is about stop running

I’m a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

I’ll catch you when you fall.
Buck Owens
Capo 1

It seems like years and a million tears
Since you’ve left the old hometown

Now you’ve changed they say and the great white way
Is your new stomping ground.

Well, it’s plain to see you’ve forgotten me
‘Cause you never write or call
But I’ll be around when they let you down
And I’ll catch you when you fall.

Chorus
Well I’ll catch you when you fall
There’s no one else but you.

Now, you’re riding high but honey by and by
You’re gonna cry for love that’s true.

And when you’re uptown baby
Starts giving you the stall.
Well I’ll be around when they let you down
And I’ll catch you when you fall.

Well, they’ve turned your head, ‘cause I’ve heard it said
You’re ashamed of us back home.

But I’ll bet the sound of a southern bound
Still chills you to the bone.

With your haughty pose and your uptown clothes
You aren’t fooling me at all
When you’re feeling bad this ol’ country lad
Is gonna catch you you fall.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Note:
I did not have the song by Buck Owens, but found a
Small clip on line. Just enough to get the song key.
I hope this helps.The lyrics was from Jack Ingram’s version.)

Just a year ago today when you packed and went away

And you started out to make the world your home

To the city you did go to learn of things you didn’t know

Just a country girl who’s never been around

Yes darling just a country girl who’s never been around

In a tavern with a crowd where the music is so loud

There you made your name and there’s no turning back

You should have known that country feet

Were never made for city streets

You’re just a country girl a-leaving dirty tracks

Yes darling you’re a country girl a-leaving dirty tracks

As you walk into the night where the lights are shining bright

You’ll remember this ol’ country boy at home

For now that you have crossed the line you no longer can be mine

You’re a country girl a-walking all alone

Yes darling you’re a country girl a-walking all alone

Chorus – Wham Bam thank you ma’am , I’ll be on my way. Thank
you but, no thank you…not today. First thing is matrimony
next thing is alimony, Wham Bam thank you ma’am I’ll be on
my way.

1) I’m just too young to get married you see. There’s too
many places that I’d rather be. There’s alot of other fishes
in the deep blue sea…so Wham Bam thank you ma’am that’s
not for me.

repeat chorus
2) I’m not the kind of guy to buy a ring, I’m afraid of
wedding bells and rice and things, I’m just a restless I’ll
never settle down.. So Wham Bam thank you ma’am I’ll see
you around.

repeat chorus

Today you wed a new love

And leave behind your blue love

I guess I’ve known it all along

I hear the organ playing

I know you’ll soon be saying

The words that would make you his alone

Once I shared your love dear

Your dreams of happiness

What was in the future my heart just couldn’t guess

That someday you’d find a new love

And leave behind your blue love

My life was only meant for misery

The house my family lives in just down the block

Many times I passed there but I never stopped

I go on all alone wishing I could be

In that house down the block with my family

When we meet upon the street I just bow my head

They don’t know how often I wish that I was dead

To our name I brought the shame but still I long to be

In that house down the block with my family

When Gabriel blows his trumpet and time will be no more

Then memories fade my daddy’s faith I’ll walk up to the door

The tears that fall won’t start at all and God will let me be

In that house down the block with my family

They call me a playboy well I’m making my rounds

Chasing the bright lights of every nightspot in town

Though I never show it my heart’s breaking in two

They may call me a playboy I’m just lonesome for you

I once had a real love that was when I had you

Now I’ll never feel love with somebody new

This false front I’m wearing is just to cover my blues

And they may call me a playboy but I’m just lonesome for you

I once had a real love that was when I had you

Now I’ll never feel love with somebody new

This false front I’m wearing is just to cover my blues

And they may call me a playboy but I’m just lonesome for you

“Under The Influence Of Love
Buck Owens

The Very Best Of Buck Owens
Volume 2

Intro: G-D7-G

She knew I knew that she was out to get me,
But I just close my eyes and let it be.
Now she walks by me like she never met me
I didn’t even make a memory

Chorus

(NC) D7 C
For I was under the influence of love
I wonder now what I was thinking of

Yes I was so in love I let her
Hurt me though I knew better
Under the influence of love

Instrumental: (G-C-D-G) X2

Why did I let her do me like she done me
Why can’t I get that woman off my mind
Although I know she never truly loved me
I wish shed break my heart just one time

(NC) D7 C
For I was under the influence of love
I wonder now what I was thinking of

Yes I was so in love I let her
Hurt me though I knew better
Under the influence of love

Put a Quarter in the Jukebox
Buck Owens
(Capo 1st. Fret to play with CD)
(The Song was recorded in the key of ‘F’)
(Intro E-B7-E)

Somebody put a quarter in the jukebox
Somebody play that certain hurtin’ song
That one about forever, that one about no never
That one about the good love that’s gone wrong

I’d tell our friends I’m doin’ fine without you
I’d tell our friends I never am alone
But I’m afraid they’ll know it Yes, I’m afraid I’ll show it
‘Cause all I ever play’s that same ole song

Chorus
So, Somebody put a quarter in the jukebox
Somebody play that certain hurtin’ song
That one about forever, that one about no never
That one about the good love thats gone wrong

(Instr.E-B7-E-A-B7-E)
So I’m sittin’ here a staring at the jukebox
Hopin’ that somebody comes along
Somebody who for starters will have a pocket full of quarters
And who’ll play that love gone wrong song all night long.

(Repeat Chorus)
Tagg:
Somebody play the jukebox all night long…

Chorus:
Will there be sweethearts in heaven after we cross the line
If the angels have sweethearts then I want you for mine

If I should go first and leave you behind
To face life alone just bare this in mind
That I’ll be a-waiting if heaven’s my fate
To take you by the hand just inside the pearly gates

lead

Now I’d be a tramp and sleep in the street
Or I’d be a begger with rags on my feet
If I knew for sure when the time comes to part
Someday in heaven you’d be my sweetheart
