            DON'T  COME  BACK  KNOCKING   (Buddy Holly - Sue Parrish)
   _________________________________________________________________
 
   
   
  Well, I found you're a rover and it's made me blue
  Like a talent scout you want some love that's new
  Don't come back knocking at my heart's closed door
  For I won't be home, don't call an' knock no more
   
  Well, when you went away and left me all alone
  While you played around I waited at home
  Don't come back knocking at my heart's closed door
  For I won't be home, don't call an' knock no more
   
  You had all my heart, it was your very own
  You weren't satisfied, now I'll go on alone
  Don't come back knocking at my heart's closed door
  For I won't be home, don't call an' knock no more
  (Oh, let's really knock it this time boys!)
   
  Well, pity those with hearts so empty and cold
  To never know true love, a treasure to hold
  Don't come back knocking at my heart's closed door
  For I won't be home, don't call an' knock no more

  I'll open the door and let you find me  
 
 The door to my heart, your love behind me
  But you were not willing to just step insi-i-ide  
  Now the door to my heart i-is still open wide
   
  I hoped you would enter and stay there with me  
  When I opened the door to let your love come in
  Now you've shunned my ho-o-ope, my love and my pri-i-ide
  But the door to my heart i-is still open wide
   
  Now you've shunned my ho-o-ope, my love and my pri-i-ide  
  But the door to my heart i-is still open wide

                      DOWN  THE  LINE   (Buddy Holly - Bob Montgomery)
   _________________________________________________________________
 
   
  Well, my ol' car's a-rollin' down the line
  Thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind
  She's a-waitin' for me, I gotta be on time
  I gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go
  I gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go
   
   
  Well, the white marker's flying off the road below
  Man, I'm a-really flyin' low
  My baby's waitin', I can't go slow
  I gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go
  I gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go
   
   
  Well, a big policeman pulled alongside a-me
  He said, "Boy you ain't quite as fast as me!"
  I showed him a picture of that baby of mine
  He said, "Boy you gotta roll on down that line !"
   
   
  Well, my ol' car's a-rollin' down the line
  Thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind
  She's a-waitin' for me, I gotta be on time
  I gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go
  I gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go
   
   
  Repeat from the beginning
  Roll on down the line

                     DROWN  IN  MY  OWN  TEARS   (Ray Charles)
 
  ________________________________________________________________
  
 
  Wet rains the tear into my eyes
 
  when I began to realize
 
  I cried so much since you been gone
 
  I guess I'll drown in my own tears
 
 
 
 
  I've really cried just like a child
 
  My poor little tears are running wild
 
  If you don't think you'll be home soon
 
  I guess I'll drown, oh-yeah, in my own tears
 
 
 
 
  I know it's true, into each life
 
  Well, some rain, rain must fall
 
  Clouds over here without you
 
 
 
 
  It keeps a-rainin' more and more
 
  Why can't you come on home
 
  oh-yes, so I won't be all alone
 
 
 
 
  If you don't think, you'll be home soon
 
  I guess I'll drown in my own tears
 
  Oh don't let me drown in my own tears

  Everyday - BUDDY HOLLY
 
   
  Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
   Goin' faster than a rollercoaster
    Love like yours will surely come my way
     A-hey, a-hey-hey
   
      Everyday it's a-gettin' faster
       Everyone said, "Go ahead and ask her"
        Love like yours will surely come my way
         A-hey, a-hey-hey
   
          Everyday seems a little longer
           Every way love's a little stronger
            Come what may
             Do you ever long for true love from me
   
              Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
               Goin' faster than a rollercoaster
                Love like yours will surely come my way
                 A-hey, a-hey-hey
   
                  Everyday seems a little longer
                   Every way love's a little stronger

                     Do you ever long for true love from me
