AboutDr. J. M. Allen Expertise I am a long time fan of Bluegrass and older country/folk music (20-70's) and have a fairly extensive tape and sheet music library of the same and have played the music non-professionally for many years. I can (hopefully) assist with information about artists and lyrics. Please try to make it the older stuff, I don't listen to much "modern" country except George Strait anymore....it ain't got no soul anymore :)
Experience I grew up in the 60's listening to all the old greats and learned to play the music. I have spent a lot of time reading about the genres and have gotten a chance to meet several of the big names over the years.
Question lyrics, your not the best but your the best that i can do (heard on Texas country station 95.9 the ranch ft.worth TX.

Once I had a little girl as pretty as I have known
D E A
Lord you know I loved her so and then she left me all alone
G D
And I swore here on this barstool
D7 G
I'd never make that mistake again
D
Well you ain't so fine but you're all mine
A D
And I'll love you till the end
G D
So darling don't you worry cause they
G D
Say that love is blind
G D
Lust has eyes like an eagle
E A
It's gonna drive me out of my mind
G D
Though my eyes sometimes wander
G
It doesn't mean that I'm untrue
D A D
You're not the best but you're the best that I can do
D G D A D G D
D D7
You know a pretty girl she'll leave you
G D
Leave you to drown in your own tears
D
You know an ugly girl she'll leave you too
E A
But then again who really cares
G D
And then my eyes of blue they cannot be true
G
They'll have to stay here in my dreams
D A D
I guess that's why old Hugh Hefner invented Playboy magazine
D D7
So sit down here beside me girl
G D
And I will tell you what we will do
We're gonna twist them lids and hope
E A
Our kids look more like me than you
G D
And when that bottle is finally empty
G
We're gonna tumble across the floor
D
And I'm gonna pray my imagination is
A D
Gonna pull me through once more
G D
So darling don't you worry cause they
G D
Say that love is blind
G D
Lust has eyes like an eagle
E A
It's gonna drive me out of my mind
G D
Though my eyes sometimes wander
G
It doesn't mean that I'm untrue
D A D D7
You're not the best but you're the best that I can do
G D A D
You're not the best but you're the best that I can do
