marty robbins - a white sport coat

A white sports coat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance
A white sports coat and a pink carnation
I'm all alone in romance

Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams

A white sports coat and a pink carnation
I'm in a blue blue mood.

I'm all dressed up for the dance
I'm all alone in romance

Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams

A white sports coat and a pink carnation
I'm in a blue blue mood.

marty robbins - aloha oe

Hawaiian
Ha`aheo ka ua ina pali,
Ke nihi aela ka nahele
E hahai ana i ka liko,
Pua ahihi lehua o uka

Aloha Oe,
Aloha Oe,
E ke onaona noho ika lipo
one fond embrace,
a hoi ae au,
Until we meet again.

O ka halia`loha i hiki mai,
Ke hone ae nei ku`u manawa.
O oe no ka`u ipon aloha,
A lo ko e hana nei.

(Chorus)

Mao popo ku`u ike i ka nani,
Na pua rose o Maunawili,
Ilaila hiaai na manu
Miki ala i ka nani o ka liko

(Chorus)

English
Proudly swept the rain cloud by the cliffs,
As on it glided through the trees
Still following ever the "liko"
The "Ahihi lehua" of the vale...

Farewell to thee,
Farewell to thee,
Thou charming one who dwellst among the bow'rs.
One fond embrace,
Before I now depart,
Until we meet again.

Thus sweet memories come back to me,
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
Dearest one, yes, thou art mine own,
From thee, true love shall ne'er depart.

(Chorus)

I have seen and watched thy loveliness,
Thous sweet Rose of Maunawili,
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
And sip the honey from thy lips.

My two cents worth:

Liliuokalani, She wrote this song and from behind her prison wall,
she heard the footsteps in the hall -
her captors pacing out the fall.
But never did she fail to give the gift of song
that words should live beyond her time,
a sad goodbye, Farewell Hawai'i!

marty robbins - a castle in the sky

I dreamed that we were livin' in A Castle In The Sky
A world of make believe, a dream for you and I
For one time in my lifetime, I was sure about your love
I held you in my Castle In The Sky.

Then from another world a stranger came one day
I begged you not to leave, but you left anyway
I saw my castle tumble back to earth and there was I
With mem'ries of My Castle In The Sky.

The trouble that we're havin', does it mean there's someone new
Or am I just bothered by the thought of losing you
Will someone come and take you, will I lose you by and by
Like I lost you in my Castle In The Sky.

If we should ever part, the world for me would end
How could I tell my heart, I only lost a friend
Be faithful, don't forsake me, never leave and say goodbye
Like you left me in my Castle In The Sky.

marty robbins - a christmas prayer

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Dear Lord, I want to thank you
For what you've done for me
For all these many blessings
In a world that's caught in grief and misery
No matter where I wander
I'm always in your sight
And so, my friends, to you my love
Upon this Christmas night

If all my prayers aren't answered
Then, Lord, I'll understand
There's others more deserving
Others, Lord, who need a helping hand
I pray you'll guide and keep me
Ever near the light
And so my deepest thanks, my Lord
Upon this Christmas night

marty robbins - a half way chance with you

If half of all the things you say, were true instead of lies
Then there'd be only half as many teardrops in my eyes
If half of all the dreams I dream, were ever to come true
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You.

If most of all the things I hear, were only half-way true
Then I'd be half-way happy dear and only half as blue
If You spent half the time with me, you spend with someone new
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You.

A half-way love is not enough, it's always kiss an run
I just can't fool my heart that way, I must have all, or none
If part-time love is all you want, or all you care to give
Why bother with the love at all, and only half-way live.

If some of all the tears that fall, were yours and not all mine
Then half the clouds would disappear and half the sun would shine
If things were only turned around and you were feelin' blue
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With you.

marty robbins - a little spot in heaven

I don't ask you, Lord, to lighten up my burden
I don't mind the trials on earth that I go through
Bein' down, I want to prove that I am worthy
Of a little spot in Heaven close to you

Years ago my Mother taught me all your meaning
Of the hardship and the pain that you went through
Know you, Lord, that I am ready and I'm waiting
For a little spot in Heaven close to you

Precious Lord, forget me not don't pass me by
Though there must be others worthier than I
If you can then, Lord, here's what I'll have you do
Save a little spot in Heaven close to you

If my wish is more than I deserve, forgive me
Up in Heaven any place would surely do
But I've done my best on earth that's why I'm asking
For a little spot in Heaven close to you

At the altar years ago we got aquainted
And as time went on the love in my heart grew
If it isn't asking too much, Lord, then save me
Just a little spot in Heaven close to you

marty robbins - a man and a train

A man and a train, a train and a man
They both tried to run as far
And as fast as they can
But a man's not a train and a train's not a man
A man can do things that a train never can

Goin' up a mountain even half way to the top
The minute that a train runs out of steam it's gotta stop
But it's a different story when a man runs out of steam
He still can go a long, long way
On nothin' but a dream

Goin' cross the country when a train runs out of track
It has to stop and turn around and then start headin' back
But many miles from nowhere out where all the tracks are gone
A man who's got himself a dream
Can still keep goin' on

So don't try to stop me
Don't try to stop me cause nobody can
I've got a dream, a beautiful dream and that makes me a man
No don't try to stop me
Don't try to stop me cause nobody can
I've got a dream, a beautiful dream and that makes me
Makes me a man

marty robbins - a time and a place for everything

There's a time and a place for everything
So let's pretend we're not blue
There's a time and a place for everything
Someday our dreams will come true

They say that just before the dawn
That night is as black as can be-e-e
There's a time and a place for everything
And someday your place will be with me

They say that just before the dawn
That night is as black as can be-e-e
But there's a time and a place for everything
And someday your place will be with me

marty robbins - abilene rose

All you young cowboys, come gather around
I'll tell you a story of Abaline town
Of two young lovers as true lovers know
The girl in this story is Abaline Rose

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose
Your memory still lives in my heart
Rose, Abaline Rose
We promised we never would part

Rose was so pretty in her gingham gown
She was the fairest in Abaline town
Her eyes were as bright as the stars up above
Eveyone knew when she chose me to love

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose
Your memory still lives in my heart
Rose, Abaline Rose
We promised we never would part

We courted each other out under the moon
We planned to be married the first days of June
Then I started drinkin' and gamblin', you see
I broke her young heart and then she left me

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose
Your memory still lives in my heart
Rose, Abaline Rose
We promised we never would part

I got into trouble and had to leave town
Rose got married and then settled down
She was as happy as happy could be
With her young cowboy and their family

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose
Your memory still lives in my heart
Rose, Abaline Rose
We promised we never would part

This is the story I promised to tell
All you young cowboys, remember it well
If you find true love don't tear it apart
Marry that true love don't break her young heart

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose
Your memory still lives in my heart
Rose, Abaline Rose
Forever we must live apart

marty robbins - address unknown

I waited each day for your letter
Although I knew what it would cause
The moment it came I knew that your game
Had been won and I knew that I had lost

I just didn't open your letter
I know you're no longer my own
The moment it came I wrote 'neath my name
These heartbreakin' words, address unknown

I wanted to open your letter
To see if you missed me sometimes
But you have a way of makin' me pay
'Cause I know what you write between the lines

You know I'd be so glad to see you
In spite of the hurt you have done
But deep down inside I can't lose my pride
And forgive you just cause you're the one

So I just didn't open your letter
I know you're no longer my own
The moment it came I wrote 'neath my name
These heartbreakin' words, address unknown

marty robbins - after the storm

We both have fought the storms of life together
And at times it seemed our world was gonna end
We've touched the thorns of life now we know better
And we're more in love now than we've ever been

After the storm comes the sunshine
The clouds are gone and the world is tame
Into each life there will be showers
But don't the world look brighter, after the rain

Well the sweetest love is when we're back together
And it's just like a second honeymoon
And we touched the thorns of life now we know better
And the rain just helps to make the roses bloom

After the storm comes the sunshine
The clouds are gone and the world is tame
Into each life there will be showers
But don't the world look brighter, after the rain
Don't the world look brighter, after the rain

marty robbins - after you leave me

After you leave me who'll kiss away my tears
After you leave me who'll cheer my lonely years
No one but you, dear, can make my life worthwhile
After you leave me I won't wanna smile

Roses need sunshine just like I need your love
Stars need the Heaven and all the space above
I need your lovin', there's no one else would do
After you leave me I'll only love you

Roses will wither and roses will die
My love is endless as all of the sky
No way to measure the love I could give
After you leave me I won't wanna live

You say it's over and never to be
Still in my heart you mean the world to me
Why did you leave me you've made me so blue
Though you love another I'll always love you

After you leave me who'll kiss away my tears
After you leave me who'll cheer my lonely years
No one but you, dear, can make my life worthwhile
After you leave me I won't wanna smile

marty robbins - ain 039 t i right

You came down to this southern town last summer
To show the folks a brand new way of life
But all you've shown the folks around here is trouble
And you've only added misery to their strife
Your concern is not to help the people
And I'll say again, though it's been often said
Your concern is just to bring discomfort, my friend
And your policy is just a little red

Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
(ain't he right)

It matters not to you how people suffer
And should they, you'd consider that a gain
You bring a lot of trouble to the town and then you leave
That's part of your Communistic game
I detect a little Communisim
I can see it in the things ya do
Communisim, socialism call it what you like
There's very little difference in the two

Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
(ain't he right)

Your followers sometimes have been a bearded, hatless bunch
There's even been a minister or two
A priest, a nun, a rabbi and an educated man
Have listened and been taken in by you
Aw, the country's full of two-faced politicians
Who encourage you with words that go like this
Burn your draft card if you like, it's good to disagree
That's a get aquainted Communistic kiss

Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
(ain't he right)

One politician said it would be nice to send some blood
And help the enemy in Vietnam
That's what he says, here's what I say
Let's just keep the blood
Instead let's send that politician man
Let's rid the country of the politicians,
Who call us tramps, that march out in our streets
Protesting those who wanna fight for freedom, my friend
This kind of leader makes our country weak

Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
(ain't he right)

Let's look and find the strong and able leaders
It's time we found just how our neighbours stand
If we're to win this war with Communism
Let's fight it here as well as Vietman
Let's rise as one and meet our obligations
So Communistic boots will never trod
Across the fields of freedom that were given to us
With the blessing of our great almighty God
Across the fields of freedom that were given to us
With the blessing of our great almighty God

marty robbins - ain 039 t i the lucky one

Look what I've gone and done
I let her steal my heart
I know we'll never part
She brings me joy, so much fun
Ain't I the lucky one

Well ain't I a happy man
She lets me hold her hand
And when the lights are low
She never tells me no
She's so sweet, so much fun
Aint I the lucky one

Well ain't I a doing fine
I'm gaining all the time
I like to hang around
After the sun goes down
Big blue eyes, hair of blonde
Ain't I the lucky one

Ain't I the lucky one
Feel like a son of a gun
I've got a perfect doll
She really drives me wild
She's so sweet so much fun
Ain't I the lucky one

Well ain't I the lucky one
Look what I've gone and done
I let her steal my heart
I know we'll never part
She brings me joy, so much fun
Aint I the lucky one

marty robbins - ain 039 t life a cryin 039 shame

I'm tied to someone that's true
And yet I love another too
Oh, ain't life a cryin' shame
I hate to hurt them either one
I want 'em both, can't have but one
Oh-o-o, ain't life a cryin' shame

I wish I knew which way to turn
Which lovelight should I let burn
Makes no difference how I choose
I can't win, I'll only lose
Bound to break somebody's heart
Tear somebody's world apart
Oh-o-o, ain't life a cryin' shame

I wish I knew which way to turn
Which lovelight should I let burn
Makes no difference how I choose
I can't win, I'll only lose
Bound to break somebody's heart
Tear somebody's world apart
Oh-o-o, ain't life a cryin' shame
