Since you made it plain we must part

But I’m placing it on my right hand

To show that I once possessed your heart

From left to right I’ll make the change

Though the diamond still shines just as bright

As the day when you gave it and my love’s as strong

Though I’m changing from left to right

I’ll wear it my darling forever

Though you?ve done me wrong I’m not ashamed

When asked who’s the giver the tears will fall

But I’ll proudly tell them your name

From left to right means goodbye

Oh what a small ring can do

So I’ll take it from my left hand and place it on my right

To show that I still love you

SHE’S NO ANGEL
Recorded by: Kitty Wells

You’ll see here there at the bar across the room
She looks like an angel with her paint and per- fume
You’d like to meet her, your conscience says no
O- bey your conscience turn around boy and go.

CHORUS
She’s No Angel, She’s No Angel, her wings are not real
She’ll ruin your life if you’re heart she can steal
She’ll tell you tales to bring tears to your eyes
But don’t you believe them for they’re only lies.

You think if only she could be your own
You’d be more contented than a king on his throne
You’d better not trust her, it’s wrong if you do
She’s broken many hearts and she’ll break yours too.

CHORUS
CAPO: 4th FRET/KEY: B/PLAY: G
Dust on the Bible, dust on the holy word
The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord …
Of all the other books you’ll find, there’s none salvation holds
Get that dust off the Bible and re- deem your poor soul.

I went into a home one day to see some friends of mine
Of all the books and magazines, not a Bible could I find …
I asked them for the Bible; when they brought it, what a shame
For the dust was covered o’er it, not a finger-print was plain.

CHORUS

You can read your magazines, read of love and tragic things
And not one verse of scripture, not one verse do you know …
When it is the very truth and its contents good for you
Dust on the Bible will doom your soul.

CHORUS

EXTRA VERSE:
Oh, if you have a friend you’d like to help along life’s way
Just tell him that the Good Book shows a mortal how to pray …
The best advice to give him that will make his burden light
Is to dust the family Bible, trade the wrong way for the right.

Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of F

Yes, I thought that you were true
When I fell in love with you
For you told me you always would play square
Then I learned you had a home
That your wife had not gone wrong
And our love was just a backstreet affair

Was too late to say no
When I found you’d fooled me so
For as time passed on I’d learned too much to care
Though I knew I must atone
But my will was not my own
I’m paying for that backstreet affair

You didn’t count the cost
You gambled and I lost
Now I must pay with hours of deep despair
You still can live your life
With a true, forgiving wife
But I can’t live down our backstreet affair

The love I gave so free
Is left to torture me
Though I know it’s hopeless and it isn’t fair
But, still I must go on
While the gossips spread are wrong
I’m paying for that backstreet affair

CHORUS
D: One By One we broke each vow we made
W: It was you who lied, it was me who paid
F: As sure as there’s a heaven beyond the sun
D: We’ll pay for our lies One By One.

F: My plans and hopes have tumbled down
F: My castle of dreams plunged to the ground
W: How can you face me after what you’ve done
W: You’ve shattered my dreams One By One.

CHORUS

F: How can you go to sleep at night
F: Don’t old mem’ries make you long for daylight
W: You’ll pay the price after having your fun
W: You’ll regret each mistake One By One.

F: The love I treasured you sold for gold
F: For world goods you left me cold
W: You’re happy now, but the time will come
W: You’re false loves will leave you One By One.

Cheated out of living cheated out of love
My heart was so lonely lonely for your love
You trampled on my heart and turned my love away
They say that every heart will have a lucky day

Cheated out of love you starved my lonely heart
You cheated with your kisses you made the teardrops start
You walked right over me but honey that’s okay
I hope to find someone and live again someday

I tried so hard to please you I didn’t mean no harm
But you wouldn’t love me you drove me from your arms
You thought you were so pretty you flirted all the time
I had to stand and watch you I nearly lost my mind

Repeat #2
