Lisa's Lyrics

M. O'Reilly (Harpy Publishing (SOCAN))

Chorus :
Don't tell me you love me, when you know it aint true
I'm tired of the cheatin and the things that you do
Don't tell me your sorry, when you know its a lie
just pack your bags and hit the road
Don't even say goodbye

In the court of love, the jurys back and the verdict has come in
The evidence against you says your case is mighty thin
the judge gave his decision and he said that i'd be free
so you'll spend your lifetime, lifetime without me

Repeat Chorus

There's a long black train awaiting, just to take you down the line
to a prison full of broken hearts thats where you do your time
your in my past I'm free at last, I'm starting to do
Stay in your cell where lonesome dwells
Say hello to the blues

Repeat Chorus x2

Chorus :
I'm an old fashioned girl, in a modern day world
Holding on to what mum and dad taught me
some ways im modern as can be, but there's still a part of me
makes me proud to be an old fashioned girl

Moma used to say now Lisa, everybody needs a friend
so be the first to smile or to hold somebody's hand
these times they are changing, but there'll never come a day
when we can say I love you any better way

Repeat Chorus

I still love a country morning, with the frost out on the field
I can see the horses running, smell bacon on the grill
these things keep me going, in a world of give or take
city life may make my living, but its not the way I live

Repeat Chorus x2

Written by Johnny Cash (MCPS)

Chorus :
I love my ramblin, ramblin man
My ramblin' man loves me
I know he'll be back so I'll help him pack
and I'll give him a kiss and my key

Yes I love my ramblin man
Don't tell me he doesnt love me
He's kind and he's sweet, till he gets itchy feet
then he's wild as the winds in the trees

Repeat Chorus

Well I'll kiss him hello when he's back
and we'll talk of the road and the track
I'll cook and I'll sow but I know that he'll go
As soon as he's feelin the slack

Repeat Chorus x2

Written by M. Lambert (Nashville Star Music (BMI), Sony/ATV Tree Publishing (BMI))

Chorus :
Love Letters on wet paper, forgivers no takers
an angel who never got wings
you find jesus and its too late, he's already closed the front gate
and the signs flashing no vacancy

you've broken my heart for the last time
you promised the truth and you told lies
you really made me believe
that love was supposed to be free

Repeat Chorus

I'll never forget how it used to be
But am better of living with memories
I know that its gonna hurt
But I don't think it gets any worse

Repeat Chorus

Written by R. J. Crowell (Tessa Publishing Company (BMI))

Chorus :
Oh I wish it would rain and wash my face clean
I wanna find some dark cloud and hide in here
oh love in a memory, sparkles like diamonds
when the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
when the diamonds fall, they burn like tears

Once I had a love from the Georgia Pans, who only cared for me
I wanna find that love of twenty two, here at thirty three
I've got a heart of my right and one on my left and neither suits my needs
no the one I love is away out west and he never will need me

Repeat Chorus

Am gonna pack up my two-steppin shoes and head for the gulf coast plains
I wanna walk the streets of my own home town,
where everybody knows my name
I'm gonna ride the ways down to galveston
when the hurricanes blow in
Cause that Gulf coast water tastes sweet as wine
when your hearts rolling home in the wind

Repeat Chorus

You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him oh but I don't think you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

Chorus:
Women like you they're a dime a dozen you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

Sometimes a man start lookin' at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you but he's in love with me
Well I don't know where they leave you oh but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man

Repeat Chorus
No you ain't woman enough to take my man

Writen by Derek Ryan (DWB Music Ltd (IMRO - MCPSI))

We all set out to find true love,
to meet someone special, like they're sent from above
to have and to hold, together growing old
to love for the rest of our lives

Chorus:
It's all part of God's plan, my love
I am your woman and you are my man
It's all part of God's plan, my love
Joining our hearts, till death do us part
living forever God's Plan

I knew when I met you I would be your wife
It felt like I'd known you every day of my life
your blue eyes saw right to my wondering soul
and guided me all the way home

Repeat Chorus

We'll weather the storms, in each others arms
Living forever God's Plan

You, you were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong
You can fight all night to say what you like
And still be gone
Said I'll never make it out there on my own
You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong

Summer day we met I thought I knew you
And something really special to go 'til we through
And now that I'm alone I see a different view
'Cause the biggest damn mistake I made was loving you

Well, you were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong
You can fight all night to say what you like
And still be gone
Said I'll never make it out there on my own
You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong

I was such a fool and if you think you were shy
I must admit I had a little too much wine
I fell for ever whisper, fell for ever line
When all this time you said that you were mine

Well, you were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong
You can fight all night to say what you like
And still be gone
Later up that night you swore you were alone
You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong

You said that you could never live without me
And in your arm is all I'd ever need
You think play up with my heart is easy
Well, here's what I have to say before I leave

You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong
You can fight all night to say what you like
And still be gone
Said I'll never make it out there on my own
You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong

You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong
(Proved you wrong)
You can fight all night to say what you like
And still be gone
Said I'll never make it out there on my own
You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong

Later up that night you swore you were alone
You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong
You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong

You were right, you were right
You were right, you were right
You were right until I proved you wrong

You've got no way of knowing how hard this is for me
But I came here to tell you that I can finally see
I've been holding on to something, that was never really mine
so Im gonna turn you lose but don't you worry I'll be fine

Chorus :
When I get over you, I wont have to cry each night the way I do
My broken heart will mend I know it will but I can't say just when
Why it might only take a year or two that ill find someone new
when I get over you

You say that you still care, but friends is all that we can be
While im still in love with you thats not an easy thing for me
So hold me for old times sake then i'll just be on my way
this old broken heart of my mine is slowly healing day by day

Repeat Chorus

(C. Dillon, S. Lakeman) EMI Music Publishing

My song for you this evening
It's not to make you sad
Not for adding to the sorrows
Of our troubled northern land
But lately I've been thinking
And it just wont leave my mind
I'll tell you of two friends one time
Who were both good friends of mine

Isaac he was Protestant
And Sean was Catholic born
But it never made a difference
For the friendship it was strong
And sometimes in the evening
When we heard the sound of drums
We said it wont divide us
We will always be as one

There were roses, roses
There were roses
And the tears of the people ran together

It was on a Sunday morning
When the awful news came round
Another killing had been done
Just outside Newry Town
We knew that Isaac danced up there
We knew he liked the band
But when we heard that he was dead
We just could not understand

Now fear it filled the countryside
There was fear in every home
When late at night a car came
Prowling round the Ryan Road
A Catholic would be killed tonight
To even up the score
Oh Christ, it's young MacDonald
They have taken from the door

There were roses, roses
There were roses
And the tears of the people ran together

Isaac was my friend he cried
He begged them with his tears
But centuries of hatred
Have ears that do not hear
An eye for an eye
That was all that filled their minds
And another eye for another eye
Til everyone is blind

I don't know where the moral is
Or where this song should end
But I wonder just how many wars
Are fought between good friends
And those who give the orders
Are not the ones to die
It's Scott and young MacDonald
And the likes of you and I

There were roses, roses
There were roses
And the tears of the people ran together

There were roses, roses
There were roses
And the tears of the people ran together

She could see herself a sowing on that brand new machine
as she took the time to look through that mail order magazine
it would sure make her life easier with all she has to do
but family needs come first she'll have to wait a year or two

Chorus :
And it came from Seers and Robock, a thousand pages long
everything from A to Z anyone could ever want
the puttin' way a little extra, aint as easy as it seems
so way out here, we dream catalog dreams

When dad came in from working, tired as a dog
he sat down by the fire and he picked up that catalog
his eyes fell on the tractor, with the mowing arm and rake
but he knew that kind of money was more than he could ever make

Repeat Chorus

When supper time was over, daddy turned to me and said
you wanna do a little dreaming, take that catalog to bed
up there in the quiet, laying all alone
I stumbled on a page, started a dream all of my own

Cause if I could learn to play on that silver tone guitar
maybe make a record and one day be a star
daddy'd have his tractor and mum her new machine
I'd buy em all of their catalog dreams

Repeat Chorus

I'm gonna buy them all of their catalog dreams

Written by Daniel O'Donnell M.C.P.S (IMRO)

I have gone from sight but I am waiting,
Waiting just beyond the rainbows end,
I'm happy in this place that I have come to,
Because I'm here with my forever friend.
Now all your thoughts of me let them be joyful,
Of things we've done and happy times we shared,
So don't be sad dear ones because I've left you,
Please laugh and talk of me as if I'm there.

Just look up in the sky I am the sunshine,
I'm the mist that rises on a summer's morn,
I'm the gentle breeze that cools the autumn evening,
When the birds sing in the trees I am their song.
This journey I have made one day you'll make it,
You too will be with my forever friend,
It's then once more that we will be together,
I'll meet you just beyond the rainbows end.

It's then once more that we will be together,
I'll meet you just beyond the rainbows end.

Yes I'm waiting just beyond the rainbows end.

Chorus :
I'm a little bit lonely, I'm a little bit blue
sometimes I wonder, what I'm gonna do
without your sweet love to see me through
I'm a little bit lonely, a little bit blue

There's nothing like a good man, at a time like this
someone to hold your hand and lips to kiss
It cant be just anyone, no that won't do
I'd rather be here by myself if I cant have you

Repeat Chorus

I admit I've missed you, I cant deny it
so I try to keep myself busy all the time
but when I feel it comin' on, Lord knows I fight it
I get to thinkin about your love and I guess thats why

Repeat Chorus

Do you ever think about, all the fun we had?
Am I just a memory or do you want me back
So when you get this letter, read between the lines
You'll see that you're welcome back home with me baby in your time

Repeat Chorus x2
