Would like the lyrics to any of these songs

Beautiful, Beautiful Texas,....Where the beautiful Blue Bonnet grows

Buckle Down, Winsocki

Holiday for strings

LADY FROM 29 PALMS - FREDDY MARTIN (BB MEMORIES)

LADY OF SPAIN - EDDIE FISHER

There's no man with endurance, like the man who sells insurance

Whistlers mother-in-law

Who stole my heart away

Why do you love me

SAVE THE BONES FOR HENRY JONES (cause Henry don't eat no meat)

If you can help me find these lyrics I would greatly appreciate it. Thank-You

Welcome to the Mudcat. Guess what? You've come to the right place, but you have to do a little of the work.:-)

See the box at the top right hand corner of this page? It is the search box for the Digital Tradition where thousands of lyrics are stored for you to retreive.

All you have to do is type in a few words or the title (enclosed in brackets, if you want it read as a whole titile) and click on the search button. Viola!

If you can't find them all there, go back out from this page to the one that has several things to choose from listed in the upper middle of the page, such as Your Personal Page, Send a Personal Message, AND, LINKS. Click o the LINKS and it will take you to a whole bunch of other lyrics sources to search.

One last thing, it is better to start an individual thread for specific lyrics for each song rather than put them all in one thread, after you've search for them on the DT. That way the people who are regulars on here and know a bunch of songs, can quickly know if they can contribute or not.

Good luck.

Dear Oops: you're welcome. Sounds like you've really been doing some looking. I found the Mudcat when I was looking for lyrics for my 81 yrs old dad. Quite the challenge and a lot of fun.

If you really wnat help finding those other songs, please do start a separate thread for each. It is ever so much easier.

And, don't worry about the "echo" postings; we were all newbies at one time.
