~Favorite Country Love Songs ~





You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma (D. Frizell and S. West)

There's a full moon over Tulsa,
I hope that it's shining on you.
The nights are getting cold,
In Cherokee County.
There's a Blue Norther passing through.
I remember green eyes and a ranchers daughter.
But remember is all that I do.
Losing you left a pretty good cowboy,
With nothing to hold on to.
Sundown came and I drove to town,
And drank a drink or two.
You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
You're the reason God made Oklahoma.
And I'm sure missing you,
I'm sure missing you.

Here the city lights out shine the moon
I was just now thinking of you.
Sometimes when the wind blows you can
See the mountains,
And all the way to Malibu.
Everyone's a star here in L.A. County,
You ought to see the things that they do
All the cowboys down on the Sunset Strip
Wish that they could be like you.
The Santa Monica Freeway,
Sometimes makes a country girl blue
You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
You're the reason God made Oklahoma.
And I'm sure missing you.

I work 10 hours on a John Deere tractor,
Just thinking of you all day.

I've got a calico cat and a 2 room flat,
On a street in West L.A.

You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
You're the reason God made Oklahoma.
And I'm sure missing you,
I'm sure missing you.

Charlie Rich ~~ On My Knees~~

On my knees I ask you please Honey let me love you Let me kiss you Like I used to

When we meet On the street I want to love you I want to kiss you Like I used to

Well you used to be my baby Mmm and I don't mean maybe I need you to be my baby now

Honey don't you hear me calling Please help me I'm falling Can't we work the whole thing out somehow Somehow

Everyday You're away I want to love you I want to kiss you Like I used to

On your Knees You've asked me please If you can love me If you can kiss me [ From: http://www.elyrics.net ] Iike you used to

Next time we meet On the street Honey you can love me You can kiss me Like you used to

Well you used to be my baby Mmm and I don't mean maybe I need you to be my baby now

Honey don't you hear me calling Please help me I'm falling Can't we work the whole thing out somehow Somehow

On my knees I ask you please Honey let me love you Let me kiss you Like I used to

Next time we meet On the street Honey you can love me You can kiss me Like you used to

Some would say that this one is Folk Music, NOT Country.

I say it is country....just ANOTHER country, Australia! ;-)

(Hey, it has Guitars, right?)

"The Seekers - I'll never find another you (1968) "

As long as I'm mentioning The Seekers, here is another of their love songs, Love of Country, that is:

"Seekers - I Am Australian, Waltzing Matilda,"

(I apologize for "Georgy Girl" between the two songs)

+1 for She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy, Keeper of the Stars, When You Say Nothing at All, Just to See You Smile, Your Man, Whatever It Is, Where’ve You Been, and the songs about love of Texas (and America - how bout God Bless the USA, and the South - there are several but I can’t come up w/the titles - Brad Paisley’s latest for example)

Taylor Swift: Ours

Paul Brandt: I Do

John Michael Montgomery: I Swear [this is the one I can’t believe nobody else listed - always fills the dance floor]

Greg Bates: Did it for the Girl

Dustin Lynch: Cowboys and Angels

Remember When - AJ

Blake Shelton: Honey Bee

Where’s Confederate Railroad’s, “I Like My Women A Little On The Trashy Side”?

[ATriedSoul]

Not sure I get the connection between the link you posted and the country song I chose..., but I thought of one more, even more obscure, “Island of Dreams”, written and performed by the Springfields, and covered by The Seekers:

I wander the streets
And the gay (’when it meant something different’) crowded places
Trying to forget you
But somehow it seems
my thoughts ever stray
To our last sweet embraces
Over the sea on the island of dreams
High in the sky is a bird on a wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you

Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams

High in the sky is a bird on the wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you

Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
Far far away on the island of dreams

Thanks for the link and beautiful photo of Gogi. I think The Wayward Wind was the first country song I learned. I was just a kid, listening to the Top 40 in my bedcat night on my pink GE table radio, the kind that needed tubes. That link was like a time machine.

Hugs back to you! Thanks for the video!
