James Michael Taylor

Key - G
People had been requesting this song for years. I decided to write it.

          G                           D                          G

It’s the most requested song in Tarrant county
C G
It’s a song that I had never heard before
C G
Well, I always try to sing the songs folks ask for
(stepping down from G to Em)
and that’ for sure
A D
And they always seem to want to hear ONE MORE.

   G                         D                                     G

I bought records and tapes and song books down at the store
C G Em
I even called Bill Mack and asked if he would help me (step down…
Em A
And he said “Sure.” Well he played something but
D G C G
He did not play ONE MORE

                  C                                                

“Come and play ONE MORE and I’ll be happy.
G
Play ONE MORE and I’ll go home.

Play ONE MORE and make it snappy.

Late at night, when we’ve sung our final chorus
C G
You know, some old bum ‘ll stumble thru the door.
C
He’ll try to order up a beer and he’ll say,
G Em A D G
“Hay! I just got here, so, buddy won’t you please play ONE MORE.”
C G
“Come and play ONE MORE and I’ll be happy.
G
Play ONE MORE and I’ll go home.
A
Play ONE MORE and make it snappy.
D
Play ONE MORE.” 2X

This became an anthem for Texas Water at closing time at The White Elephant Saloon For some reason I don’t recall, when Peggy decided to leave me she told me not to sing this song any more. Well, she’s been gone 15 years now and I think it might be time to start singing this song again. I think the folks at The Magnolia Motor Lodge Tuesday night singer/songwriter night might enjoy it.
