"GONNA FIND ME A BLUEBIRD"
Gonna find me a bluebird
Let him sing me a song
Cause my heart's been broken
Much too long
Gonna chase me a rainbow
Thru' a heaven of blue
Cause I'm all through crying over you
There was a time my love was needed
My life completed, my dreams come true
Then came the time my life was haunted
My love unwanted, all for you
Gonna find me a bluebird
Let him sing me a song
Cause my heart's been broken
Much too long
Gonna chase me a rainbow
Thru' a heaven of blue
Cause I'm all through crying over you
(Rainwater)

| "I Miss You Already" |
|
(Yes I miss you already and you're
not even gone)
The time has come you're telling me goodbye I know that I can't stop you if I try I've had too many chances now I'll have to set you free I watched you go too late I know how much you mean to me Yes I miss you already don't know how I'll go on I miss you already and you're not even gone So kiss me once again and please don't cry I promise there'll be no more alibis I'll have to find myself a way to face this loneliness I watch you go too late I know I've lost my happiness Yes I miss you already,don't know how I'll go on. Yes I miss you already, and you're not even
gone.
(Marvin Rainwater - Faron Young)

"GAMBLIN' MAN
(ROVING GAMBLER)" Well, I'm a rovin' gambler I gamble out in Texas I met me a friend in Frisco
Lady Luck was her name Well, I couldn't even lose with a pair of two's Till a woman got in the game Lord, a red head got in the game Yeah, a woman got in the game Well, she won my horse and saddle If you don't wanna lose your
freedom (M. Rainwater) |

"SO YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT
TROUBLES" So you think you've got troubles My car sounds like an old tin can Now I lost my money in a poker game My doctor told me not to smoke I had every ailment known to man
From the African mumps to a dishpan hands I lost every race that I ever ran I didn't even get a start So you think you've got troubles Now some people call me a pessimist But one thing I do know, I'll
tell you right now
I'm a-milkin' the wrong end of
this old cow So you think you've got troubles So I put me a bar in the back of
my car (Rainwater) |

When I woke up this fine, bright morning It didn't look right to me It seemed like something was awful wrong And I wondered what it could be I been thinking about it all day long Tryin' to figure out what was wrong Well the answer just now came to me My darling baby's gone I
gotta go get my baby Wherever he may be Well
I guess I took that guy of mine I gotta go
get my baby Wherever he may be Written by Marvin
