Ain't We Crazy (aka Barefoot Boy With Shoes On)
The Picture From Lifes Other Side
Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good
Red
Wing
another verse --
She watched for him day and night,
She kept all the campfires bright,
And under the sky,
each night she would lie,
and dream about his coming by and by;
But when all the braves returned,
the heart of Red Wing yearned,
For far, far away,
her warrior gay,
fell bravely in the fray.
Red
Sails in the Sunset
Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea.
Oh carry my loved one,
Home safely to me.
He sailed at the dawning,
All day I've been blue.
Red sails in the sunset,
I'm trusting in you.
Swift wings you must borrow.
Make straight for the shore.
We marry tomorrow,
And he goes sailing no more.
Red sails in the sunset
Wayout on the sea.
Oh carry my loved one,
Home safely to me.
"Honey"
See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show
And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of the day
And it was in the early Spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That Honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
