ONE TO TEN
(Mildred Burk)

Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn – 1966



If I had counted one, two, three before I made you cry
If I had counted four and five and made another try 

If we’d a counted six, seven, eight and made a bran new start
If we’d a counted nine and ten we wouldn’t be apart

One, two, three come back to me and let bygones go by 
Four and five I know that I've been a foolish guy 

Six, seven, eight give me a date and I'll be as good as pie 
Nine and ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye 

Instrumentals 

If I had counted one, two, three before I walked away 
If I had counted four and five well I'd whispered darling stay 

If we had counted six, seven, eight and turned on all our charms 
If we had counted nine and ten we'd be in each other's arms 

One, two, three come back to me and let bygones go by 
Four and five I know that I've been a foolish guy 

Six, seven, eight give me a date and I'll be as good as pie 
Nine and ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye

One to ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye
