Frank Delandry
(Brooks Williams)
Words and Music by Brooks Williams © 2010 (BMI)
The voices on the levee are quiet now
The only sound is the river
And the boats heading to New Orleans
With their lights fading in the distance
Like the night Frank DeLandry died
Frank played guitar down at the hotel
Five nights a week and all weekend long
The notes that he played washed like the waves
On the rough and tumble jetty down the line
Like the night Frank DeLandry died
Chorus:
On the night Frank DeLandry died
There were no witnesses to describe
What had happened, what went wrong
Where had Frank DeLandry gone
The working women down at the hotel
Would sit on the stairs and listen
The music that he played carried them away
On waves of memory of lost loveLike the night
Frank DeLandry died
People crowded round the open windows
Just to hear the Guitar Man play
They came from up and down the river
Some as far as fifty miles away
Like the night Frank DeLandry died
Repeat chorus

Three Little Words
(Brooks Williams)
Words and Music by Brooks Williams © 2012 (PRS)
Three little words
We’ve been having a good time
Three little words
Some fun and a laugh
Why’d I want to go and spoil
Our beautiful day
By saying something like…
Three little words
On the tip of my tongue
Three little words
I should take it slow
Some chewing gum, a magazine
Watching people come and go
Anything but…
Three little words
If I only had the courage
Three little words
I wish I could say
Who I was before I met you and who I am to-day
And what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
Three little words
Could you ever feel the same?
Three little words
Would you ever say?
Or will we just meet up for drinks
Dinner and a show and when the evening ends will we just
Say goodbye and go?
Three little words…
