Mama Don’t Dream (About You)
© & (P), I Miss You Records, 2012. Music & Lyrics by Rie Sinclair, BMI
Mama don’t dream no more about you
Take your cowboy hat & get
Or I’ll find me a fryen’ pan real quick
Now, you dry those alligator tears
Cause I’ve got me a ticket
On the Southern Pacific
Clickity –clack, clickity –clack, clickity –clack…
Bye, bye, bye, you take care!
I’ll send you a telegram with how real good I been
Bye, bye, bye, fair adieu
Mama don’t dream no more about you!
Mama don’t dream no more about you
The old fashioned remedy
A suitcase & a count two three!
Now you keep your lonesome heart my dear
For the next girl to fix it
Cause I’ve got me a ticket
On the Southern Pacific
Clickity –clack, clickity –clack, clickity –clack…
Bye, bye, bye, you take care!
I’ll send you a telegram with how real good I been
Bye, bye, bye, fair adieu
Mama don’t dream no more about you!
Yeah I’ve got me a ticket
On the Southern Pacific
Leaving any minute
Yeah I’ve got me a ticket
On the Southern Pacific
Clickity –clack, clickity –clack, clickity –clack…
Bye, bye, bye, you take care!
I’ll send you a telegram with how real good I been
Bye, bye, bye, fair adieu
Mama don’t dream no more
Mama don’t dream no more
Mama don’t dream no more about you!

I Fall For You Again (County Fair)
© & (P), I Miss You Records, 2012. Music & Lyrics by Rie Sinclair, BMI
The serenade at the penny arcade
Playing our tune and my how I swoon
As you take my hand
Every year at the county fair I fall for you again
Table darts win candy hearts
Blindfolded you’d shoot a balloon
Wow, what a man!
Every year at the county fair
I fall for you again
Well, you can’t wait to see the World Of Tomorrow
& Tell me how we’ll build our memories
Every year, a souvenir & flowers
I love that I’m the girl in your dreams
Firework displays and I sway
You twirl me around the room to the band
Ain’t it grand?
Every year at the county fair
I fall for you again

Mayfair Hotel
© & (P), I Miss You Records, 2012. Music & Lyrics by Rie Sinclair, BMI
He broke my heart under the moonlight
In the garden of the Mayfair Hotel
He left me crying like a violin
Playing a funeral waltz
He fixed to lying, but it were too hard
In the garden of the Mayfair Hotel
He said, “I’m sorry”, out on the balcony
“but you should find somebody else”.
In his defense, I’m no angel
I blame the stars & lonesome nights
We said our fair-wells at the Mayfair
Then he went back to his wife
He broke my heart under the moonlight
In the garden of the Mayfair Hotel
He left me crying like a violin
Playing a funeral waltz
In his defense, I’m no angel
I blame the stars & lonesome nights
We said our fair-wells at the Mayfair
Then he went back to his wife
He broke my heart under the moonlight
In the garden of the Mayfair Hotel
He left me crying like a violin
Playing a funeral waltz

Sourwood Honey
© & (P), I Miss You Records, 2012. Music & Lyrics by Rie Sinclair, BMI
The Sourwood up in Tennessee
Whose hollow trunk is home to honey bees
Now that east coast saved my tea & toast
A pot of golden sourwood for me
Sourwood Honey, yeah it’s – mighty sunny!
As every sweet tooth will say
Thank those dandy bees in the smoky peaks
Sourwood Honey on its way
When they blossom in the spring
You’ll hear a song of summer coming from the trees
So throw a cob in the bucket with a little dirt & luck
You’ll have your own pot of golden honey
Sourwood Honey, yeah it’s – mighty sunny!
As every sweet tooth will say
Thank those dandy bees in the smoky peaks
Sourwood Honey on its way
At the morning milk delivery
Set the kettle boiling, warm the huck-berry
A wasp ain’t my friend, the yellow jacket can’t
Make a pot of gold like a honeybee
Sourwood Honey, yeah it’s – mighty sunny!
As every sweet tooth will say
Thank those dandy bees in the smoky peaks
Sourwood Honey on its way

I Can't Help It
© & (P) Hank Williams Sr. (Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music, BMI)
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And she looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your heart and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

A Heart Has Reasons
© & (P), I Miss You Records, 2012. Music & Lyrics by Rie Sinclair, BMI
A “heart has reasons, reason [cannot tell]”
And no reason can undo the spell
I’ve fallen under many times before
Why should your spell break it all the more?
Please don’t reason our loves’ a faded bloom
For true love wouldn’t be so cruel
As to unfurl a blossom made to pass
Why should our love not be made to last?
I’ve fallen under many times before
Why should your heart break mine all the more?
While I’ve no reason love bound me to endure

Slow Burning Flame
© & (P), I Miss You Records, 2012. Music & Lyrics by Rie Sinclair, BMI
Was it his pretty blue eyes
Or two-timing grin that made it tough to forget?
He broke my heart & smoked my last cigarette
My confidence down, crumpled to the ground
Like an empty Camel pack
He broke my heart & smoked my last cigarette
They say a slow burning flame is better for the extra flavour
But it sure fizzled & faded, left me alone & jaded
They say a slow burning flame will help you relax
How bout that?
Well, I sure could use a carton
Cause He broke my heart & smoked my last cigarette
I caught him like a burr with that Chesterfield girl
In the chicken coop out back
He broke my heart & smoked my last cigarette
Made sure to snuff that flame with my boots while he whined
“Baby please don’t pack”
Ha! You broke my heart & smoked my last cigarette!
They say a slow burning flame is better for the extra flavour
But it sure fizzled & faded, left me alone & jaded
They say a slow burning flame will help you relax
How bout that?
Well, I sure could use a carton
Cause he broke my heart & smoked my last cigarette
Said, “The pleasure’s mine, I’ll light you up”
Just like that I was hooked
He was a match & I was the book
They say a slow burning flame is better for the extra flavour
But it sure fizzled & faded, left me alone & jaded
They say a slow burning flame will help you relax
How bout that?
Well, I sure could use a carton
Cause he broke my heart & smoked my last cigarette

You’ll Never Find a Rainbow
© & (P), I Miss You Records, 2012. Music & Lyrics by Rie Sinclair, BMI
“You'll never find a rainbow
If you're looking down”
Your boat will up & sail off
With your head's stuck in the ground
One smile makes life worthwhile
So put away that frown
“You'll never find a rainbow
If you're looking down”
You'll never see the sun rise
If you're up all night
Crying out those dandy eyes
That you ain’t been done right
Bring your pole to the watering hole
There'll be more in that pond
“You'll never find a rainbow
If you're looking down”
Bop-bah-da-da-dah…
One smile
Will make everything worthwhile
All will be well!
That cloud won’t shine a silver line
If you’re stuck on blue
Times like this, one can find bliss
In gold & rosy hues
Your heart will mend, find love again
This time it’ll be true
That cloud won’t shine a silver line
If you’re stuck on blue
“You'll never find a rainbow
If you're looking down”
Your boat will up & sail off
With your head's stuck in the ground
One smile makes life worthwhile
So put away that frown
“You'll never find a rainbow
If you're looking down”

Yankee Blue Eyes
© & (P), I Miss You Records, 2012. Music & Lyrics by Rie Sinclair, BMI
At every morning sunrise
No single day will go by
When I don’t remember a love so tender
That man had Yankee Blue Eyes
Don’t be sad for me
The slow gin is my company
My heart took a bullet though he was the hero
I’m proud to have cared for who died for the land of the free
So keep the band playen’ and coyote wailing
I’m drinking my sorrows away
While that sun done rise
My darlin’s blue eyes will never see it again
It were one fine sunny day
The army took him away
Baby don’t cry, he said, be strong for Daddy
I’ll be home in May
But round a half past four
Near when his son would be born
The sergeant came knocking, without too much talking
Taps would be blowing & I’d get his flag at the morgue
So keep the band playen’ and coyote wailing
I’m drinking my sorrows away
While that sun done rise
My darlin’s blue eyes will never see it again

Scarlet Love
© & (P), I Miss You Records, 2012. Music & Lyrics by Rie Sinclair, BMI
What kind of life would I live & die
If my salvation weren’t won?
Tossed in the sea of misery
Would I have been with out Your Scarlet Love
What better stain than that
Which reclaimed my life from hell?
You took my place, what saving grace
My Jesus bore his Scarlet Love
Roll, roll away the stone from that grave!
My sins were like crimson, but white I’ll be made!
Every night burns into the morning sun
And I rejoice in Your Scarlet Love
Calvary sings, death where is your sting?
My hope was lost but found
Though ashes & dust, I’m covered by the blood
And washed in your Scarlet Love
Roll, roll away the stone from that grave!
My sins were like crimson, but white I’ll be made!
Every night burns into the morning sun
And I rejoice in Your Scarlet Love
While my soul was torn, a new covenant born,
Mercy abound
You took my place, what saving grace
My Jesus bore his Scarlet Love
Roll, roll away the stone from that grave!
My sins were like crimson, but white I’ll be made!
Every night burns into the morning sun
And I rejoice in Your Scarlet Love
