Johnny Angel, how I love him
He's got something that I can't resist
But he doesn't even know that I-I-I exist

Johnny Angel, how I want him
How I tingle when he passes by
Every time he says "Hello" my heart begins to fly

"Johnny Angel"

Big an fat and broad and ugly, the girl from Possum Hollow goes walking
and as she passes each guy she passes goes "Blah".

My doll is as dainty as a sparrow
Her figure is something to applaud
Where she's narrow she's as narrow as an arrow
And she's broad where a broad should be broad

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

"Try a Little Kindness"
~~Glen Campbell

If you're ever down in Houston
Boy, you better walk right
And you better not squabble
And you better not fight

Bason and Brock will arrest you
Payton and Boone will take you down
You can bet your bottom dollar
That you're Sugar Land bound

Let the Midnight Special
Shine the light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine the ever-lovin' light on me

Ledbetter from "Midnight Special"
Ledbetter(pronounced Leadbelly) was famous black blues singer from the 30's.

Houston, Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
Oh honey, Houston, Houston means the last day of the tour and we're through
Well honey, you and God in heaven above know I love what I do (for a living I do)
Oh, but Houston, Houston means that I'm one day closer to you.

"Houston"
~~Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.
I don't want to lose this feeling.
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms.

Of course of troy, I thought that was Ledbetter to Leadbelly. Was I wrong?

You better be careful Boy
About what you say or do
That unseeing eye just keeps on watching you.

Seems
like you don't care
about places you go
Seems
like you don't care
about the people you see
Seems
like like you don't care what you say or do
But that unseeing eye is Watching yoou.
                  ****************            

UNSEEING EYE - Sonny Boy

POST EDIT: Administrator! Administrator!
Jackie, My Angel has fallen and I am unhappy with my Epeolatrist. Both of them jumped ahead of me. I wasn't being slow either, I was just trying to make my post look nice. Thank you for helping. -mw

Faith is never lost, sometimes it's hard to find
Sometimes she prays aloud
It helps her ease her mind
If she could...just touch their wing
If she could just hear them sing...then there's...

One white feather from the sky
There's an Angel watching you
Yes, there's one white feather from above
There's an Angel watching you

"There's an Angel Watching You"
~~written by Barry Goldstein
~~sung by Fella

Edit: Yeah! I finally linked to your lyrics Milum! [big kiss-e]

Well it's too bad, and it's too sad,
But I'm in love with you ...
You love me, then you snub me.
.




Well, I guess I'll never see the light.
I get the blues most every night,
Since I fell for you ...


Since I Fell For You

written by Buddy Johnson
lyrics here from a hit-version by Lenny Welch (1967)
also recorded by many others including Louis Armstrong and B.B. King
