"Magnolia"
H&R Newman
1st verse: She came from Ms
Where all the girls are pretty
Brought her dreams to Nashville Tn
I saw her at the Bluebird
I swear, I thought I knew her
My heart said, she was meant for me.
Pre: Standing in the spotlight
Shining like a star
Singing like an angel
Playing her guitar
Magnolia! Oh, Magnolia!
Chorus: Magnolia, sing a song with me
Let's make some magic in sweet harmony
Oh, Magnolia, say that you'll be mine
And we will be together til the end of time.
2nd verse: She came and sat beside me
Said I think you like me
That's okay, I like you, too
The rest they say is history
Cause when she left she kissed me
That's the way we wound up me and you.
Pre: Warm as summer sunshine
Cool as winter dawn
With my sweet Magnolia
Love goes on and on
Magnolia! Oh, Magnolia!
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Tag: Oh, Magnolia! Oh, Magnolia! Oh, Magnolia! Oh, Magnolia!

Down Time
Hal Newman & Mike Loudermilk
Cold can in my hand
Getting sun getting tan
Oh boy! Who the man!
Barefootin' in the hot white sand
Got my baby by my side
Flyin high What a ride
How we doing? Mighty fine!
Everybody knows there ain't no time like down time
Aint no time like down time
Take a few days, clear your mind
Joke a little, smoke a little, drink a little wine
Everybody knows there ain't no time like down time
Life tough sure nuff
Slow down when the road gets rough
Kick back, fill your cup
Raise a little Cain when the moon comes up
Let's dance, Romance
Spin the wheel and take a chance
Another shot with a twist of lime
Everybody knows there ain't no time like down time
Aint no time like down time
Take a few days, clear your mind
Joke a little, smoke a little, drink a little wine
Everybody knows there ain't no time like down time
Being uptight will always take its toll
Baby now let's just loosen up and let the good times roll
Aint no time like down time
Take a few days, clear your mind
Joke a little, smoke a little, drink a little wine
Everybody knows there ain't no time like down time

Natural Rhythm
H&R Newman
1: When I say I love you
It's not a casual thing
I don't say it lightly
Cause every night lately
You've been a part of my dream
When I say I need you
The words come from my heart
When I say forever
I mean that we'll never ever be apart
Chorus: It's my natural rhythm to take things slow
To stop and think, before I go
It's my natural rhythm to wait and see
Which way the wind blows
and Does it feel right to me
2: You don't have to worry
We're not losing ground
If I don't show it
You oughta know it
You turn my world around.
There's no need to hurry
True love don't come fast
Starts with a feeling
If it's the real thing
You know it's gonna last.
Chorus: It's my natural rhythm to take things slow
To stop and think, before I go
It's my natural rhythm to wait and see
Which way the wind blows
and Does it feel right to me
Tag: Which way the wind blows
Does it feel right to me?

Red Hot Rockin
Hal Newman & Mike Loudermilk
Red hot rockin’ with the kool kats rollin’ along
A sassy little smoker with the guitar blazin’ on a honkytonk country song
Plug me in brother, cause I’m rairin’ to go
It’s 9 on the button, time for the show
Gonna get the ole joint hoppin’, Red Hot Rockin’
Red hot rockin (Red hot rockin)
Red hot rockin (Red hot rockin)
Baby better hold on tight
Red hot rockin’ tonight
Grab you a honey, head out to the sawdust floor
Cuttin’ a rug with the jitterbug, makes you hoot and holler for more
I can hear that telecaster, startin’ to sing
A little bit of old school rock-a-billy twang
Don’t you know there aint no stoppin’, Red Hot Rockin’
Red hot rockin (Red hot rockin)
Red hot rockin (Red hot rockin)
Baby better hold on tight
Red hot rockin’ tonight
Hit me with the horns (!)
Make the people shout (!)
Feel it in your bones (!)
What it’s all about (!)
Red hot rockin (Red hot rockin)
Red hot rockin (Red hot rockin)
Baby better hold on tight
Red hot rockin’ tonight
Red hot rockin (Red hot rockin)
Red hot rockin (Red hot rockin)
Baby better hold on tight
Red hot rockin’ tonight

CHARM ME
Hal Newman
1st verse: It's the call of the thunder
With the power of lightning
It's your spell I'm under
And your kiss is frightening
Girl it would be madness
For me to come to you
In all of your badness
With all of your hoodoo
Chorus: Charm me - darlin' charm me
Wrap your arms around me
Fill me with desire
Warm me - won't you warm me
With your gentle touches
Take me to the fire.
2nd verse: It's the glow of the full moon
On the night of harvest
It's the wind of changes
I can hear the voices
Of a thousand lovers
Telling me to reach out
To the one who wants me
That's the way it should be
Chorus: Charm me - darlin' charm me
Wrap your arms around me
Fill me with desire
Warm me - won't you warm me
With your gentle touches
Take me to the fire.

If Adam and Eve were Cajun
H. Newman and M. Loudermilk
Down in bayou country, deep in Cajun land
We know how to live the good life and we live it the best we can
Love to dance to the music, red hot Zydeco
We gather down on the levee for a Rockin fais do do
If Adam and Eve were Cajun all the sin in the world would be gone
Cause for heavens sake they would have ate that snake
And left the apple alone
Crawfish boil and gumbo big jug of homemade wine
Dirty rice and hot boudin
Sounds like party time
Community and communion they go hand in hand
Down in gods country, talkin’ ‘bout louisiane
If Adam and Eve were Cajun all the sin in the world would be gone
Cause for heavens sake they would have ate that snake
And left the apple alone
Hi-De-Ho, here we go
From Baton Rouge down to Thibadeaux
On through Morgan City clear up to Carencro
If you’re looking for the Garden of Eden
Open your eyes and you’ll see
The land of milk and honey
Right here for you and me
If Adam and Eve were Cajun all the sin in the world would be gone
Cause for heavens sake they would have ate that snake
And left the apple alone

Who's Smilin' Now?
Hal Newman
lst verse: Look at the man who's smilin' now
Look at the one who showed him how
Isn't she everything he could dream of
You can call it fancy free
Tell me what will be will be
But I know what I feel is love.
Chorus: Who's smilin' now, well it's me, head to toe
When have you seen me so satisfied and in control
Tell me who radiates with a warm and tender glow
Tell me who, who's smilin' now.
2nd verse: Lovin' you brings me peace of mind
Livin' each day one at a time
Havin' trust, faith in us for a lifetime
Havin' someone feel the same
Share the sunshine and the rain
I'll keep smilin' long as you are mine.
(Chorus)

Amanda Rose
Hal Newman
There's a phantom in this place
And it's haunting me
It knows every move I make
And everywhere I look
I see a face I used to know
Not so very long ago
My sweet Amanda Rose
She left the way she came
In the night and unexplained
She left no trace or sign
That she was ever mine
And yet I feel her here and now
And I don't know why or how
I can only suppose Amanda Rose.
Amanda Rose, Amanda Rose
Where you are, heaven only knows
Will you ever come again
Were you really here back then
Or have you always been a ghost
Amanda Rose.
Some nights I turn around
And see her standing there
With a smile on her face
A flower in her hair
Then she calls out my name
And as I reach to hold her close
My vision of her goes
Amanda Rose.
(Chorus)

Mardi Gras Time in Music City
H&R Newman
Don't seem fair, don't seem right
Mardi Gras comes on just one night
Wouldn't be bad, wouldn't be wrong
If we had Mardi Gras all year long.
Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras
The piper gets pied and the nitty gets gritty
It's Mardi Gras Time in Music City.
Down at the corner of Lindsey and Third
Mardi Gras music can be heard
I'll be there, when the show begins
And that Mystic band comes marchin' in
(Chorus)
Feathers, beads and serpentine
Cowboy boots and new blue jeans
Dancers fillin' up the floor
Music spillin' out the door
(Chorus)
Tag: It's all for fun and fun for all
In Tennessee at the Mardi Gras!
