Long Distance Information, give me Memphis, Tennessee.
Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me.
They would not leave a number, but I know the place to call,
Cause my uncle took a message, and he wrote it on the wall.

Long Distance Information, get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee.
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge,
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.

Long Distance Information, more than that I cannot add.
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had.
But we were torn apart because her Mom did not agree,
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.

Now, last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye,
With "hurry home" drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes.
Marie is only 6 years old. Information, please,
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee.

Yes, oh, yes, Long Distance, I'll accept the charge. I'll pay.
But which loved one is calling me? I did not hear you say.
Both are deep within my heart, her Mom and my Marie.
It's so good to hear your voice from Memphis, Tennessee.

Oh, you mean so much to me, more than you'll ever know.
Surely you have not forgot how much I love you so.
If you would remember, dear, and sometimes talk to me.
Maybe that would reunite our home in Tennessee.

Last time I saw you, just before I had to leave.
You didn't want to see me off, and promised not to grieve.
My heart was torn apart, as I looked back at Marie.
And there the pieces still remain with you in Tennessee.

I Guess I should stop talking, after all, you placed the call.
But any way that I can help. you know I'll help you all.
Then her mother told me to come back and see Marie,
And live together in our home in Memphis, Tennessee.

He calls you from the office and he tells you that he's sorry
But it looks like he'll be working late again and he asks you how your day went
But he didn't say he missed you and he'd rather be home with you and the kids
Then suddenly the day has lost it's meaning and you find it hard to hold the tears inside
And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries

You ask him if he'd call you when he's working late again
But it's nine o'clock and still he hasn't called and the dinner fixed with special care
Is getting cold, and he's not there - you wonder if he really cares at all
Another lonely night and he's not with you and you find it hard to hold the tears inside


And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries

Now you push aside the curtains and you're looking out the window
And the kids are playing with him in the yard, he takes you out occaisonally
And once more you're a family and he thought about your birthday after all
It's then you know the reason why you love him and he'll never know the joy you feel inside
And all the tears you've cried, just a part of a woman's life, when a woman's happy inside
It's another reason why a woman cries, just another reason why a woman cries

Run,run baby run
Run baby run, run baby run

Run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms
Run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms

Even though you hurt me
I still love you, it's true
Even though I know that you will hurt me again
I will love you as I did then

Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms
Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms

I'm not the kind of guy
To ever hurt you or let you down
So if that guy you're seeing ever makes you cry
Leave him, tell him goodbye

Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms
Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, run baby run....

Take care of your woman, don't treat her mean
Make her feel like a woman and she won't ever leave

When She's walking in the darkness, be the light she needs
Give her dreams for tomorrow and she won't ever leave

Take care of your woman and make her know that you care
Let her know that you love her, you want her, you need her and she'll always be right there

Through the storms of emotion be the calm that she needs


Be a rock of devotion and she will never leave

Take care of your woman and make her know that you care
Let her know that you love her, you want her, you need her and she'll always be right there

Through the storms of emotion be the calm that she needs
Be a rock of devotion and she will never leave

Morning comes into my room, through pretty purple curtains
And looks upon a man so satisfied, I hold a woman in my arms
And watch her while she's sleeping, and I know that I'm the man on Suzie's mind

I'm the pretty dress she buys, I'm the little bug she drives
I'm the picture that she shows to everybody that she knows
I'm the wiggle in her walk, I'm the giggle in her talk
I'm the happy little song she sings, she wears my love for all to see

Sail on by, silver moon, I won't follow you this time


I've got heaven in my arms tonight, I'm the man on Suzie's mind
I'm the stops on her way home, I'm the dime in the telephone
I'm the honey that she talks about, I'm the old meanie when she pouts

I'm the carpet, need her feet every night before she sleeps
I'm the pillow where she lays her head, I'm the last word that she said
Sail on by, silver moon, I won't follow you this time
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, I'm the man on Suzie's mind
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, I'm the man on Suzie's mind
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, I'm the man on Suzie's mind...

Those happy hours that we once knew,
Though long ago, still make me blue.
They say that time heals a broken heart.
But time has stood still since we've been apart.
I can't stop loving you
So I've made up my mind
To live in memory
Of old lone-some times.
I can't stop wanting you
It's use-less to say.
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday.
Those happy hours that we once knew,
Though long ago, still make me blue.
They say that time heals a broken heart.
But time has stood still since we've been apart.
I can't stop loving you,
There's no use to try.
Pretend ther's some one new;
I can't live a lie.
I can't stop wanting you
The way that I do.
Ther's only been one love for me,
That one love is you.

Standing in this airport waiting all alone Listening to the falling raindrops playing a lonely song I didn't want to leave that girl, but I couldn't stay But when the feeling's gone, you know it's gotta end just this way
Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly Take me up and away, gonna find some better days Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly Leaving yesterday's sorrow, gonna chase tomorrow

When I step up on board this plane, I'll never look behind I'll close my eyes and let the whining engines ease my mind I may get off in Dallas, or go on to L.A. But anyway, I've got some time to think a while along the way
Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly Leaving yesterday's sorrow, I'm gonna chase tomorrow Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly Take me up and away I'm gonna find some better days.....

You're losing interest in me, and it's showing.
It ain't no big thing, but it's growing.
The pain of heartbreak, I've just starting knowing.
It ain't no big thing, but it's growing.

Everyday the hurt grows bigger than before.
But I'll pretend that I don't notice,
If I can hold you one day more.

You got the look of someone who is going.
You're gonna leave me and it's showing.
A little tear I can feel, start to flowing.
It ain't not big thing, but it's growing.

You got the look of someone who is going.
You're gonna leave me and it's showing.
A little tear I can feel, start to flowing.
It ain't no big thing, but it's growing.

It ain't no big thing, but it's growing.

(S.Curtis)

I'm breakin' rocks in the hot sun, I Fought the law and the law won
I Fought the law and the law won, I needed money 'cos I had none
I Fought the law and the law won, I Fought the law and the law won
I left my baby and I feel so bad, I guess my race is run
She's the best girl I ever had, I Fought the law and the law won
I Fought the law and the law won, I was robbing people with a six gun
I Fought the law and the law won, I Fought the law and the law won
I miss my baby and good fun, I Fought the law and the law won
I Fought the law and the law won, I left my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run, She's the best girl I ever had
I Fought the law and the law won, I Fought the law and the law won

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation"
"Guide him with eternal love"

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life


'cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, bless, oh Lord this celebration"
"May their lives be filled with love"

>From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
'twas farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation"
"Of thy great eternal love"

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

But if he come and all the roses dying


And I am dead, as dead I well may be
He'll come here and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ava there for me

And I shall feel, oh soft you tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me
