One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly brokenRemember the night
The night you said –
I love you
Remember?Remember you vowed
By all the stars
above you
Remember?(bridge)
Remember the night
The night you said –
I love you
Remember?Remember you vowed
By all the stars
above you
Remember?Remember we found a lonely spot
And after I learned to care a lot
You promised that you’d forget me not
But you forgot
To remember

I jumped out of the fryin’ pan
And right into the fire
When I lost me a cheatin’ man
And got a no-count liar
Swapped the old one for a new one
Now the new one’s breakin’ my heart
I jumped out of the fryin’ pan
And right into the fire
Lord, right into the fire

| 1951 | MT | 216 | Billie’s Blues | 13 | 3’04” |
I cried last night
I cried all the night before
I cried last night
I cried all the night before
I cried my eyes this morning
And I ain’t go to cry no moreI will climb these mountains
If is the last thing I do
I will climb these mountains
If is the last thing I do
And when I climb these rocky mountains
There’ll be no more crying over youYou said you’d be my lover
And you promised to be true
Well I took you for my lover
And you broke my heart in twoYou broke a promise
Each kiss you gave was lie
But I’ll climb these rocky mountains
If I don’t I hope to dieSomeday you’ll be sad and lonely
And you’ll want to come to me
Yes, some day you’d be lonely
And you’ll want to come to me
I’ll be hide on these mountains
Gaze and caught the deep bluesWoohee mountains
Yes you’ll rock all the way
Woohee mountains
You’ll rock all the way
But if I leave and nothing happens
I reach the tops on sunny day

Romance in the dark with you
All at once I knew
Darling love was near
I thrill to my finger tips
I could feel your lips
Darling oh so nearThe music was so entrancing
The lights all began to fade
I said to myself keep dancing
But only my heart obeyed
A flame grew from just a spark
When I found romance in the dark with you(bridge)
