"Tennessee Saturday Night" lyrics
"Tennessee Saturday Night"
Now, listen while I tell you bout a place I know
Down in Tennessee where the tall come grows
Hidden from the world in a bunch of piner
Where the moon's little bashfull and it seldom shines
Civilized people live there alright
But they all go native on a Saturday Night
Their music is a fiddle and a cracked guitar
They get their kicks from a old fruit jar
Their do the boogie to an old square dance
The woods are full of couples lookin' for romance
Somebody takes his brogue and knocks out the light
Yes, they all go native on a Saturday Night
When they really get together there's a lot a fun
They all know the other fellah packs a gun
Ev'rybody does his best to act just right
'Cause there's gonna be a funeral if you start a fight
They struggle and they shuffle till broad daylight
Yes, they all go native on Saturday Night
Well, now you're heard my story 'bout a place I know
Down in Tennessee where the tall corn grows
Hidden from the world in a lunch of pines
Where the moon's a little basful and it seldom shines
Civilized people live there alright
But they all go native on a Saturday Night

On Blueberry Hill, when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet...

I hardly ever thank the stars above
For sending me your very precious love
You never hear me say a prayer
Of thanks to someone 'way up there

Ricky Nelson - "It's Late" It's late (it's late)
We gotta get on home
It's late (it's late)
We've been gone too long
Too bad (too bad)
We shoulda checked our time
Can't phone (can't phone)
We done spent ev'ry dime
It's late...
Bobby Darin - "Multiplication" When you see a gentleman bee
Round a lady bee buzzin'
Just count to ten then count again
There's sure to be an even dozen.
Multiplication

And each generation

Don Gibson - "Sweet, Sweet Girl" She was a sweet, sweet girl to me
No matter where I go, no matter who I see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She was a sweet, sweet girl to me

Though she said goodbye and set...
