Porter Wagoner Album

They say the love bug will get you at the age of 23
Well I'm not tellin' my age but somethin' got a hold on me
I'm just cravin' some lovin' in the old fashion way
Honey linger near and listen to all I had to say
Why don't you haul off and love me one more time
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turning blind
If you don't cuddle off and love me like I want you to do
I'm gonna haul off and die over you
[ steel ]
I can feel your warm lips near me hear you breathe so soft and fine
I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine
I don't believe this love will hurt you cause it feels so nice and kind
It seems mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line
Why don't you haul off...
I'm a gonna haul off and die over you

TEARDROPS FELL THE NIGHT YOU SAID I LOVE YOU DEAR THEN YOU WERE WED I WATCHED YOU WHILE YOU HELD HIS HAND THEN I BOWED MY HEAD AND CRIED AGAIN 1ST CHORUS I CRIED AGAIN WHEN I REACHED HOME THERE SET YOUR PICTURE ALL ALONE I THOUGHT OF THINGS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THEN I BOWED MY HEAD AND CRIED AGAIN I TOOK YOUR LETTERS FROM THE SHELF AND I READ ALOUD JUST TO MYSELF AND JUST BEFORE I REACHED THE END I BOWED MY HEAD AND CRIED AGAIN 2ND CHORUS I THOUGHT OF NIGHTS SO LONG AGO AND OF THE LOVE I WANTED SO AND THEN HOW FATE HAD TOOK HAND THEN I BOWED MY HEAD AND CRIED AGAIN THEN I BOWED MY HEAD AND CRIED AGAIN

This is not at all like me I never thought that I could be
So overcome by anyone like this
But you caught me by surprise caught me before I realize
Now I am lost forever in your kiss
So take me if you want me love me if you will
(For you have all control of me) and I am yours until
(Till you say that you don't want me oh I hope that never will be)
For I'm lost forever in your kiss

You're on my mind constantly oh and this is all so new to me
And when you reach for me I can't resist
For I've become a part of you and I'll do anything you want me to
For I am lost forever in your kiss
So take me if you want me...

AFTER ALL
Writers Porter Wagoner, Christie Lynn

I was raised by an old black man named moses jones
In a shack by a cotton patch we called home
He took the lead and plowed the sod
I lay behind just busting clods
We both worked to make that place a home
Ocne he told me about a girl named jenny lynn
He said he wondered why she fell in love with him
I said where's your jenny now he just looked up in the clouds
The way he looked up every now and then
He said now i'm coming, i'm coming never more to roam
I can feel your arms a reaching for me jenny
I'm coming home one summer day
We laid his soul to rest in his faded overalls
They had him dressed but he had wanted it that way
Many times i've heard him say
Jenny would not know me in a suit and vest
Now many, many years have come and gone
When i told my boy about me and moses jones
About the hard times that we had
He just smiled and said now dad
So i grabbed my old slouch hat and said
Come on all day we drove till we came to a big oak tree
There were tears in his eyes when he looked up at me
Beneath the wildflowers lay the stone where i'd chiseled
Moses jones after all these years still plain enough to read
And it read, i'm coming, i'm coming never more to roam
I can feel your arms a reaching for me jenny i'm coming home

There's a family Bible on the table its pages torn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table will ever be my key to memory
At the end of the day when work is over and when the evening meal was done
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
And we'd count our many blessings one by one
I can see us sittin' round the table when from the family Bible dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
[ steel ]
This old world of ours is full of trouble this old world would also better be
If we had more Bibles on the tables and mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
I can see us sittin' round the table...
