Lyrics:

(Unchained Melody)

Oh my love, my darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
The long, lonely nights
Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me.

(Sweet Business on Nueces)

Well, I got me a woman to answer my phone
But now when we start in loving, baby
Ain’t nobody home
There ain’t nobody home

And I got such sweet business on Nueces
Such sweet business on Nueces

Well, I thought our dog was dead, you know,
I could not hear her barking
But I looked across the meadow
and there she was a meadow larking
There she was one o’clocking.

And I got such sweet business on Nueces
Such sweet business on Nueces

Well, she thought she was Johnny Reb seceding from the union
But went up to Appomattox
We cleared up that confusion, cleared up that confusion.

And I got such sweet business on Nueces
Such sweet business on Nueces

Well, her house got a fence you know, but it ain’t got no gate
When she says, ‘come on in, darling,’ Yeah, I don’t hesitate, I don’t hesitate.

And I got such sweet business on Nueces
Such sweet business on Nueces

Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
Are you still mine?
