Hey, Good Lookin' appears twice in the database: Both are good transcriptions, but I think [ HEYGDLKN is slightly better. at (*tooken), I'd add [took in??]

Note in this thread, there are similar lyrics to a Cole Porter song of the same title. Different melody, though.

LADY ALL SKIN AND BONES - filename[ SKINBONE - appears twice in the online database, but with the same filename. The lyrics seem identical, but one entry has a tune file connected to it.

Night Rider's Lament, filename[ WHYRIDE - lyrics we have are truncated and make no sense. Correct lyrics are in this message.


San Antonio Rose, filename[ SANANTON - our text twice mentions a "moonlit pass" - that's a "moonlit path" - the Alamo is on flatland, no passes nearby - verified with Bob Wills recording.

The Red Flag filename[ REDFLAG - songwriter is Jim Connell
