Nobodys Lonesome For Me
Words and music by hank williams, sr.
[g] evrybodys lonesome for somebody else
But nobodys lonesome for [d7] me
Evrybodys thinkin bout somebody else
But nobody thinks about [g] me
When the [c] time rolls around for me to [g] lay down and die
I bet [d7] Ill have to go and hire me [a7] someone to [d7] cry
[g] evrybodys lonesome for somebody else
[d7] nobody is lonesome for [g] me.
Evrybodys longin for somebody else
But nobodys lonesome for me
Evrybodys dreamin about somebody else
But nobody dreams about me
All I need is a bride who wants a big-hearted groom
I wouldnt care if she come ridin in on a broom
Evrybodys lonesome for somebody else
No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.
Evrybodys pinin for somebody else
But nobodys lonesome for me
Evrybodys crazy bout somebody else

Leave Me Alone With The Blues
[d] better pack up your suitcase and [g] leave in a [d] hurry
Now I dont wanna show you the door
[d] since the day that we met youve been [g] nothin but [d] trouble
Now I dont want you [a] here [d] anymore
Run [g] along run along dont [d] pester me further
For I [g] know that youll never be [d] true
If you cant treat me right then get [g] out of my [d] life
Go and leave me [a] alone with the [d] blues
[d] oh you stayed by my side till you [g] got all my [d] money
Now my clothes are all ragged and torn
[d] since the day that we met youve been [g] nothin but [d] worry
Lord I wish I had [a] never been [d] born
Run [g] along run along dont you [d] pester me further
I [g] know that youll never be [d] true
If you cant treat me right then get [g] out of my [d] life
Go and leave me [a] alone with these [d] blues
[d] you may ramble and ramble this [g] whole wide world [d] over
But dont trust any woman you meet
[d] they wont leave you alone till theyve [g] got your last [d] dollar
Then youre just like the [a] dirt beneath their [d] feet

Beyond The Sunset
Should you go first and i remain, to walk the road alone
Ill live in memory's garden dear, with happy days we've known
In spring i'll wait for roses red, when faith the lilacs bloom
And in early fall when brown leaves fall,
I'll catch a glimpse of you
Should you go first and i remain, for battles to be fought
Each thing you've touched along the way, will be a hallowed spot
I'll hear your voice ill see your smile
Though blindly i may grope
The memory of your helping hand, will buoy me on with hope
(c)beyond the sunset oh blissful (g)morning
When with our saviour, heaven is be(c)gun
Earths toiling ended, oh glorious (f)dawning
Beyond the (c)sunset (g)when day is (c)done
Should you go first and i remain, to finish with the scroll
No lessening shadows shall ever creep in
To make this life seem droll
We've known so much of happiness, we've had our cup of joy
And memory is one gift of god, that death cannot destroy
I want to know each step you take, that i may walk the same

Words and music by hank williams, sr.
If the [d] wife and I are fussin, brother thats our right
cause me and that sweet womans got a license to fight [d7]

Oh, the woman on our party lines the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows its my ring
Why dont you mind your own business

Well, if mind your business, then you wont be mindin mine.
If my woman stay out til two or three
Now, brother thats my headache, dont you worry bout me.
Just mind your own business

If mind your business, then you wont be mindin mine.
If I get my head beat black and blue
Now thats my wife and my stove wood too
Just mind your own business

Men With Broken Hearts
You'll meet many just like me upon life's busy street
With shoulders stooped and heads bowed low and eyes that stare in defeat
Or souls that live within the past where sorrow plays all parts
Where a living death is all that's left for men with broken hearts
You have no right to be the judge to criticize and condemn
Just think but for the grace of God it would be you instead of him
One careless step a thoughtless deed and then the misery starts
And to those who weep death comes cheap these men with broken hearts
Oh so humble you should be when they come passing by
For it's written that the greatest men never get too big to cry
Some lose faith in love and life when sorrow shoots her darts
And with hope all gone they walk alone these men with broken hearts
You've never walked in that man's shoes or saw things through his eyes
Or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies
Some were propers some were kings and some were masters of the arts
But in their shame they're all the same these men with broken hearts
Life sometimes can be so cruel that a heart will pray for death
God why must these living dead know pain with every breath
So help your brother along the road no matter where he starts
For the God that made you made them too these men with broken hearts

Move It On Over
Came in last night at half past ten
That baby of mine wouldnt let me in
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause the big dogs moving in
Shes changed the lock on my front door
My door key dont fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause the fat dogs moving in
This dog house here is mighty small
But its better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dogs moving in
She told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a mad dogs moving in

Howlin At The Moon
Words and music by hank williams, sr.
I [c] know theres never been a man in the awful [c7] shape Im [f] in
I cant even [c] spell my name, my [d7] heads in such a [g7] spin
To-[c] day I tried to eat a steak with a big old [c7] table-[f] spoon
You got me chasin rabbits, [c] walkin on my hands
...and [g7] howlin at the [c] moon.
Well, (*sug), I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad
And then I even went and lost what little sense I had
Now I cant tell the day from night, Im crazy as a loon
You got me chasin rabbits, pullin out my hair and howlin at the moon.
Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin spree
cause there aint a hound dog in this state that can hold a light to me
I eat three bones for dinner today, then tried to tree a coon
You got me chasin rabbits, scratchin fleas and howlin at the moon.
I rode my horse to town to day and a gas pump we did pass
I pulled im up and I hollered whoa!, said fill im up with gas
The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham!, he changed my tune
You got me chasin rabbits, spittin out teeth and howlin at the moon.
I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard
But honey baby, when I fell the whole world must have jarred

Help Me Understand
Chorus
[sung]
A little girl prayed at the close of the day,
Cause her daddy had gone far away,
On her little face was a look of despair,
I stood there and listened, and I heard this prayer
My mommie says daddy has brought us to shame
And Im never no more to mention his name
Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Oh heavenly father help me understand
[recitation]
You know friends I wonder--
Just how many homes are broken tonight
And just how many tears are shed
By some little word of anger
That never should have been said
Id like to tell you a story
Of a family I once knew.
Well call them mary and william
And their little daughter sue

A [bb] distant uncle passed away [bb7] and [f] left me quite a batch [f7]
And [bb] I was living high until that fatal [bb7] day
A lawyer [c7] proved I wasnt born

If I jumped in the river I would probly drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
Ill never get out of this world alive.
These shabby shoes Im wearin all the time
