Aint going Down
Six o Clock Friday evening
Momma doesn' t know she's leaving 
'Til she hears the screen door slamming 
Rubber squealin', gears a-jamming 
Local country station just a blaring on the radio 
Pick him up at seven and they're headin' to the rodeo 
Momma's on the front porch screamin' out her warning 
Girl you better get your red head 
Back in bed before the morning 

Nine o'clock the show is ending 
But the fun is just beginning 
She knows he's anticipating 
But she's gonna keep him waiting 
Grab a bite to eat 
And then they're heading to the honkey tonk 
But loud crowds and line dancing 
Just ain't what they really want 
Drive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek 
And where it's George Strait 'til real late 
And dancing cheek to cheek 

Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up 
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough 
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck 
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up 

Ten 'til twelve is wine and dancing 
Midnight starts the hard romancing 
One o'clock that truck is rocking 
Two is coming, still no stopping 
Break to check the clock at three 
They're right on where they want to be 
Four o'clock get up and going 
Five o'clock that rooster's crowing 

Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up 
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough 
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck 
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up 

Six o'clock on Saturday 
Her folks don't know he's on his way 
The stalls are clean, the horses fed 
They say she's grounded 'til she's dead 
Well here he comes around the bend 
Slowing down, she's jumping in 
Hey mom, you're daughter's gone 
And there they go again 

Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up 
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough 
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck 
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up

"Build Me Up Buttercup"

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

To you I'm a toy, but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (bah-dah-dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

I-I-I need you-oo-oo more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

G                  D    F       G
I thought love was only true in fairy tales

                            D    F           G
And (Meant) for someone else but not for me

C               G
Love was out to get me

C                               G
     That's the way it seemed

C                   G              D
     Disappointment haunted all my dreams


(no chord)     G      C     G
Then I saw her face

       C    G         C     G
Now I'm a believer!

C     G      C    G
Not a trace

        C      G      C     G
Of doubt in my mind.

C      G
I'm in love

C            G
     I'm a believer

           F
I couldn't leave her if I tried.


G                  D       F      G
I thought love was more or less a given (givin' ?) thing

                      D    F           G
Seems the more I gave, the less I got

C                 G
What's the use in tryin'?

C                           G
     All you get is pain.

C                  G               D
     When I needed sunshine, I got rain.

Time Of Your Life

In Oranmore in the County Galway, 
One pleasant evening in the month of May, 
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome 
Her beauty fairly took my breath away. CHORUS

CHORUS
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds, 
No paint or powder, no, none at all. 
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it 
And round her shoulder was a Galway Shawl. 

We kept on walking, she kept on talking, 
'Till her father's cottage came into view. 
Says she: 'Come in, sir, and meet my father, 
And play to please him " The Foggy Dew." 

She sat me down beside the fire 
I could see her father, he was six feet tall. 
And soon her mother had the kettle singing 
All I could think of was the Galway shawl. CHORUS


The Black Velvet Band
Traditional
Well, in a neat little town they call Belfast, apprentice to trade I was bound 
Many an hours sweet happiness, have I spent in that neat little town 
A sad misfortune came over me, which caused me to stray from the land 
Far away from my friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band 

Her eyes they shone like diamonds 
I thought her the queen of the land 
And her hair it hung over her shoulder 
Tied up with a black velvet band 

I took a stroll down Broadway, meaning not long for to stay 
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid comes a tripping along the highway
She was both fair and handsome, her neck it was just like a swans 
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band 

Her eyes they shone like diamonds 
I thought her the queen of the land 
And her hair it hung over her shoulder 
Tied up with a black velvet band 

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman passing us by 
Well I knew she meant the doing of him, by the look in her roguish black eye 
A goldwatch she took from his pocket and placed it right in to my hand 
And the very first thing that I said was bad luck to the black velvet band 

Her eyes they shone like diamonds 
I thought her the queen of the land 
And her hair it hung over her shoulder 
Tied up with a black velvet band 

Before the judge and the jury, next morning I had to appear 
The judge he says to me: "Young man, your case it is proven clear 
We'll give you seven years penal servitude, to be spent faraway from the land 
Far away from your friends and companions, betrayed by the black velvet band"
