GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #472 (GOLQ472)
Welcome to GOLQ472! There are four mini-themes. Each song, including the
tie-breakers, fits at least one of the mini-themes. One of these mini-themes
may be easy to figure out. One is more personal to me and may not be obvious
to others. The other two fall somewhere in between.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes in the evening
When you do not see
I study the small things
You do constantly
#01)
Come mister tally man
Tally me
#02)
Out in the starlight
Just hopin' you may be
Somewhere
#03)
Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
#04)
All of my love
All of my kissin'
You don't know what you've been a-missin'
#05)
You were holding another girl tight
But when I thought about all your charms
I bounced right back into your arms
#06)
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows
#07)
We're gonna dance, dance, dance
We're gonna shing-a-ling
We're gonna do the thing
Tonight
#08)
You thrill me
Darling, you thrill me
Baby, you, ya thrill me
Honest you do
Honest you do
Honest you do
#09)
You don't love me, it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you
The who-ole night through
#10)
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
#11)
When I go to sleep
I never count sheep
I count all the charms
#12)
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
#13)
Close the door to temptation
Don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darlin'
I'm beggin' you to
#14)
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
#15)
Well I swear I'm gonna love her until eternity
I know between the both of us her heart we can steal
#16)
I'm the girl you used to hold
Now I'm the girl out in the cold
When I saw her by your side
I felt like I was about to die
#17)
Put your hand oh on your hip now
Come on and let your backbone slip
Move your body like your hip
#18)
The name you underline
I'm hoping that it's mine
Darling I'm so in love with you
#19)
So close your eyes
While mother sings
Of the beautiful sights that be
And you will see the wonderful things
As you rock in your misty sea
#20)
Every day of my life
Is fresh as morning dew
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
#21)
Fish are jumping
Don't you know my darlin'
I said a-right now
And the cotton is high
#22)
Darling you made me
Change my mind
I can't leave you
Leave you behind
#23)
What more can I say
Believe me
There's no other way
I love you
I will to the end
#24)
All day long they sayin'
Oomph uh
Oomph uh
Oomph uh
Oomph uh
Don't you know the sound
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
My babe don't buy me presents
How can you laugh when you know I'm down?
Beep beep beep beep yeah!
I've got something to say that might cause you pain
#T1)
He sings a song about a crawdad hole
He sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about a-pork and greens
He sings some blues 'bout-a New Orleans
#T2)
