We don't have an Ancient One story for this issue so we decided to publish some songs we wrote for a local entertainer in the hopes he'd record them. They're SUPPOSED to be originals, but an associate told me he's heard most of them and they've already been recorded.  If anybody knows if these songs HAVE been recorded, let us know. Otherwise than that we thought people just might get a kick out of them.
 

 
ON THE BACK ROADS OF TEXAS

(CHORUS) 
I spent half my life on 
the back roads of Texas 
That's the only place that 
I ever want wanna be, 
You can have your city, 
your gold and your silver, 
But the back roads of Texas 
are the only place for me. 

1.  You can tell me of 
Paris, of London and Denmark, 
Of all of those places 
far across the sea, 
But the back roads of Texas 
are the best thing to Heaven, 
they're the only place 
that I ever want to be. 

2.  So saddle up your ponies, 
and head down the by ways, 
Wave to the people we 
meet along the way, 
For the back roads of Texas 
are the next thing to Heaven, 
that's the only place 
that I ever wanna be. 

3.  When they finally call me, 
away, up to Heaven, 
I'll ride up to Saint Peter, 
and ask him the way 
to the back roads of Texas, 
the best part of Heaven, 
That's the only place 
that I ever wanna be. 

(Repeat All To End.) 


 

SOUTH OR WEST?

She's goin' south, 
I'm goin' west! 
We can't decide 
which one is best. 
We've been fightin' 
for over a year, 
the words are still ringin' 
buzzin' in my ears. 

Everywhere we go 
people get in the fight, 
we keep at it 
day and night, 
Some say it's Dixie, 
Some say it's west, 
We just can't agree 
which one is best. 

Now she's goin' south, 
and I'm goin' west! 
It's just come the time 
to give it  a rest, 
We just can't decide 
which one is best, 
so she's goin' Dixie, 
I'm goin' west. 

Maybe some day we'll 
lay it to rest! 
But for now 
She's goin' south, 
and I'm goin' west. 
The whole damned country 
may put it to the test, 
But right now 
no one knows 
which one is best. 

(Repeat All To End.) 


 

WHO'S GOT MY 
BLUE JEANS NOW?

(Chorus) 
Who's got my blue jeans now? 
Who's got my blue jeans now? 
She took everything, 
She didn't leave her ring, 
Who's got my blue jeans now? 

1. She took the old t.v. 
She took the stereo, 
I don't give a hoot, 
about that loot! 
Who's got my blue jeans now? 

2. She took my cowboy shirts, 
she took my high heeled boots, 
I don't give a hoot 
about these boots! 
Who's got my blue jeans now?

3. She took the kitchen sink, 
I can't get a drink, 
But I don't care,
anywhere!
Who's got my blue jeans now? 

4. She took my clock 
and watch, 
She took my dirty socks, 
I don't give a hoot, 
about that loot! 
Who's got my blue jeans now? 

5. She took my plaster cat, 
Why did she want that? 
I don't give a hoot, 
about that loot! 
Who's got my blue jeans now? 

I want my blue jeans NOW! 

WHO'LL WASH MY
LONG JOHNS NOW?

Who'll wash my 
long johns now? 
Who'll wash my 
long johns now? 
I'm in a mess, 
I will confess! 
Who'll wash my
long johns now? 

There's no pots and pans, 
There's dishes everywhere! 
Don't know what to do 
without you! 
Who'll wash my 
long johns now? 

I got to milk the cows, 
I got to feed the sheep! 
Can't get no sleep, 
Don't know what to eat! 
Who'll wash my 
long johns now? 

He won the lottery, 
you ran out on me! 
Don't know what to do, 
I'm so blue. 
Who'll wash my
long johns now? 

SHE'S LOCKED THE OUTHOUSE DOOR

(CHORUS) 
She's locked the 
outhouse door! 
I can't get back no more, 
It's a fact, 
Caught in the act! 
She's locked the 
outhouse door! 

1.  She's locked the 
outhouse door! 
I can't get back no more, 
Thought I had it made 
me and the maid, 
She's locked the 
outhouse door! 

2.  She's locked the 
outhouse door! 
I can't get back no more! 
Now things are hot! 
I'm on the spot! 
She's locked the 
outhouse door! 

3.  She's locked the 
outhouse door! 
I can't get back no more, 
Things are a mess,
She's completely obsessed! 
She's locked the 
outhouse door! 

(Repeat Chorus To End.) 
 

THE MORNING DOVE

1. Oh, the morning dove 
is a pretty bird, 
It sings its song 
so joyfully. 
It calls its mate 
up from the ground, 
and they sing in harmony. 

2. Now, my heart 
is a morning dove, 
since you gave 
your love to me. 
We sing our song 
so joyfully, 
As we sing in harmony! 

3. Now our love 
grows deep in you, 
and it brings 
such joy to me, 
As we sing 
our song of love, 
As we sing in harmony. 

4. Now, let us tell 
the world of love, 
As we sing 
so joyfully, 
As we sing 
our song of love, 
As we sing in harmony!
