Linda Ronstadt Album

written by I Mills & C Friend

I got a feeling called the blues oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
And Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry oh Lord
That last long day he said goodbye
Oh Lord I thought I would die
He'll do you
He'll do me
He's got that kind of loving
Lord I love to hear him when he calls me sweet mama
Such a beautiful dream
I'd hate to think it's all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to him somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar mama now
And I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues

Well I'm in love I'm in love and it's easy to say
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love I'm in love and it's easy to say
That he don't care about me
Well I tried and I tried to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn't stay
And now that he is leaving
Well this is all I can say

I got a feeling called the blues oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
And Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry oh Lord
I've grown so used to him somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar mama now
And I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues

I'm gonna plant me some seed
Grow me an ocean
Cut me some trees
And build me an island
Stand on the corner
Flag down a streetcar
Go somewhere and phone him
And ask him where my thoughts are

I'm gonna say to him
Are my thoughts with you babe
How twisted, babe, are they
Since you went away, babe
I ain't been thinking too straight

And if that don't get through
I'm gonna build me a flower
Sit down in the morning dew
And kiss it every hour

I'm gonna turn out the lights
Turn on the night
Give up the fight
Go for a flight
Catch me a kite
Who cares what's right or wrong
When I get to the moon
Rent me a room
Sit in the gloom
All alone
And cry are my thoughts with you babe
How twisted, babe, are they
You know, since you went away, babe
I ain't been thinking too straight

I'm gonna turn out the lights
Turn on the night
Give up the fight
Go for a flight
Catch me a kite
Who cares what's right or wrong
When I get to the moon
Rent me a room
Sit in the gloom
All alone
And cry are my thoughts with you babe

Tonight you're mine completely
You gave your love so sweetly
Tonight (tonight) the light (the light) of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I (can I) believe (believe) the magic of your sigh
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night (when the night) meets the mor-(when the mor-) ning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell (so tell) me now (me now), and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

One year later I saw her
Wearing a face in a strange disguise
Carried a smile they taught her
Gives it away at the edge of her eyes

Didn't I see the sunshine through the rainfall
She's crying and she knows it
She's crying and she shows it on the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was
Did she go inside because it's cold out here

Sooner or later she told me
I am in love again, truly this time
Nothing at home left to hold me
The city's just great and the world treats me fine

Didn't she think I heard that old refrain before
She's lying and she knows it
She's lying and she shows it on the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was
Did she go inside because it's cold out here

Didn't she think I'd seen someone in pain before
She's crying and she knows it
She's crying and she shows it on the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was
Did she go inside because it's cold out here

Well they all said Louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act a little girl
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
Yes and everybody knew at times she cried
Ah but women like Louise well they get by

Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd always put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon

Louise rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard her say
Too bad it ended so ugly
Too bad she had to go this way

Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
Well goodnight Louise goodnight

Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.

Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time

Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time

Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.

written by Mel Tillis

Well I hope that the friend that you've thrown yourself on
Gets drunk and loses her job
And every road that you travel on
Is dusty rocky and hard

I couldn't make you love me
You only made me blue
So all in all if the curtain should fall
Then I hope that it falls on you

And I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge

Well I hope that the train from Caribou, Maine
Runs over your new love affair
You'll walk the floor from dawn to dawn
And you'll tear out your peroxide hair

I never was your woman
Cause you were never true
So all in all if the curtain should fall
Then I hope that it falls on you

And I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge

written by D Terry Jr & G Harris

I'm leaving it all up, up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through

That's why I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through

Here's my heart in my hand
And I, I don't understand
What did I, what have I done wrong
You know I worship the ground you walk on

That's why I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through

And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
It was not so long ago
Maybe just a year or so
When I was lonely
And when looking for someone
Way down south in New Orleans
Just a-lookin' for a dream
And that's when I found him
That's where it all begun

He was there on that night
Said for you I know I'm right
I'll be with you until my race is run
He walked into my life
With his cold evil eyes
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun

Well my memory cannot speak
And oh Lord I'm feeling weak
But I blame it on the fact that I was young
Though I know it may sound strange
There is no way I can change
What my fate has laid out for me now is done

He was there on that night
Said for you I know I'm right
I'll be with you until my race is run
He walked into my life
With his cold evil eyes
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun

And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun

Traditonal, arranged by Elliot Mazer & Linda Ronstadt
Accompanied by the Beechwood Rangers

Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave

Heed the curves and watch the tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail

Blessed Saviour there to guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
And the angels there to join us
In God's grace forevermore

As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You will reach the Union Depot
Into which your train will ride

There you'll meet the superintendent
God the father, God the son
With a happy joyous greeting
Weary pilgrim, welcome home

Blessed Saviour there to guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
And the angels there to join us
In God's grace forevermore

In God's grace forevermore
