Having my baby (having my baby)  
What a lovely way of sayin’ how much you love me  
Having my baby (having my baby)  
I’m a woman in love, and I love what’s goin’ through me

When you dance  
Do your senses tingle?  
Then take a chance?  
In a trance  
While the lonely mingle  
With circumstance?

Now you can dance every dance with the guy  
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight  
And you can smile every smile for the man  
Who held your hand beneath the pale moon light  
But don’t forget who’s takin’ you home  
And in whose arms you’re gonna be  
So darling, save the last dance for me

On Saturday night we don’t go home  
We bacchanal, there ain’t no dawn  
Dance, little sister, dance  
I said dance, dance, little sister  
Dance little sister  
Dance little sister, dance…

There’s a brand new dance  
But I don’t know its name  
That people from bad homes  
Do again and again  
It’s big and it’s bland  
Full of tension and fear  
They do it over there  
But we don’t do it here

Who’s that lady? (Who’s that lady?)  
Sexy lady, oh (who’s that lady?)  
Beautiful lady (who’s that lady?)  
Real fine lady (who’s that lady?)

I would dance upon a string  
Any gifts she’d wanna bring  
I would give her anything  
If she would just do what I say  
Come around my way, baby  
Shine my way

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo  
As I walked out in Laredo one day  
I spied a young cowboy, all wrapped in white linen  
Wrapped in white linen, as cold as the clay

_Streets of Laredo. Marty Robbins_

One night a wild young cowboy came in  
Wild as the West Texas wind  
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing  
With wicked Felina, the girl that I loved

So in anger I  
Challenged his right for the love of this maiden  
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore  
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat  
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

(Great Marty Robbins song!)

Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun  
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run  
Made a good run, but I ran too slow  
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico

One of them cowboys, he starts to draw  
And I shot him down, Lord, he never saw  
Shot me another, hot damn, he won’t grow old  
In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold  
And we hightail it down to Mexico

Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold  
Love my uncle, God rest his soul  
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know  
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold  
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

Out on the plains down near Santa Fe  
I met a cowboy ridin’ the range one day  
And as he jogged along, I heard him singin’  
The most peculiar cowboy song  
It was a ditty he learned in the city

_Cow Cow Boogie_

A little ditty about Jack and Diane  
Two American kids growin’ up in the heartland  
Jack, he’s gonna be a football star  
Diane’s a debutante, backseat of Jacky’s car

You like your life in a free-form style  
You’ll take an inch but you’d love a mile  
There never seems to be quite enough  
Floating around to fill your lovin’ cup

Ooh, Jackie Blue  
What’s a game girl, if you never lose?  
Ask a winner and you’ll probably find  
Ooh, Jackie they’ve lost at sometime

Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy  
She’ll beat you if she’s able  
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet  
Now it seems to me some fine things  
Have been laid upon your table  
But you only want the ones that you can’t get
