You Can Have Her (I Don't Want Her)
—Bill Cook
Chorus:
Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
And all I wanted was love to stay
The girl I love, she up and left me
She ran away with my best friend
She comes in around midnight
Daylight comes she's gone again
Chorus
Now life gets mighty empty
Without love to call your own
I'd rather have love that I can cling to
Than have the world and all of it's gold
Chorus
Well, you get stuck with the wrong woman
There's just one thing that you can do
Just dig a hole and jump right in it
And pull the ground right over you

When You See Those Flying Saucers
—The Buchanan Brothers
Verse 1
You'd better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
It's a sign there's no doubt of the trouble that's about
So I say my friends you'd better start to pray
They're a terrifying sight as they fly on day and night
It's a warning that we'd better mend our ways
You'd better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
Bridge:
Many people think the saucers might be someone's foolish dream
Or maybe they were sent down here from Mars
If you'll just stop and think you'd realize just what it means
They're more than atom bombs or falling stars
Verse 2
And though the war may be through there's unrest and trouble brewin'
And those flying saucers may be just a sign
That if peace doesn't come it will be the end of some
So repent today, you're running out of time
When you see a saucer fly like a comet through the sky
You should realize the price you'll have to pay
You'd better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day

Cold Feet
—Hunger Mountain Boys
Even when the sunshine shadows lurk
I wonder where you went when you said you were goin' to work.
My friends told me now the truth is known.
You had me fooled for a time, but now your lovin' cover is blown.
Chorus:
I got cold feet, it's creepin' in from under my shoes,
Cold feet, since I heard the news.
I got cold feet, not just my lips are blue,
Cold feet over lovin' you.
First kiss was early in the spring.
Our lovin' got so hot, in August I gave you a ring.
I ain't never seen a winter cold as this.
And now you found another's lips to kiss.
In my eyes you were in love with me.
Now I know it was always a fantasy.
Next time I'll keep my heart wrapped tight.
And my feet will stay warm all through the night.

The Parting Glass
—Traditional 18th C. Scot/Irish drinking song
Oh all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done, alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit to memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all
If I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in this town, that sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips I own, she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all
Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had, they are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had, they would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call good night and joy be with you all
A man may drink and not be drunk, a man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl and perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ordered been by a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all
Nobody Loves Me, Nobody Cares
—Zeke Clements
Nobody loves me nobody cares
If life is empty and full of tears
I've longed for true love searched everywhere
Nobody loves me nobody cares
Searching for true love has been in vain
Through years my heart has suffered with pain
Life's lonesome burden now I must bear
Nobody loves me nobody cares
Nights on my pillow I dream of love
Through space I gaze at the stars above
They seem to whisper from way up there
Nobody loves you nobody cares
A lonesome heart and a troubled mind
In this world now is all I find
I look to heaven for I know there
Someone will love me someone will care
