Ah, let me tell you people
About this Blackjack game
It's caused me nothing but trouble
And I've only myself to blame
Hey hey hey, yeah
How unlucky can one man be
Well every quarter I get now
Lord, Blackjack takes it away from me
My friends don't come around me
Because I've been so blind
I can't even borrow a nickle
Now I've almost lost my mind
Hey hey hey, yeah
How unlucky can one man be
Well every quarter I get
Lord, Blackjack takes it away from me
I sat there with two tens
I thought I'd have some fun
The dealer hit sixteen with a five
Just enough to make twenty one
Hey hey hey, yeah yeah
How unlucky can one man be
Well every quarter I get

Poor little, sad little blue Bluesette
Don't you cry, don't you fret
You can bet one lucky day you'll waken
And your blues will be forsaken
Some lucky day, lovely love will come your way
If there is love in your heart to share
Dear Bluesette, don't despair
Some blue boy is waiting just like you
To find a someone to be true to
Two loving arms you can nestle in to stay
Get set, Bluesette, true love is coming
Your lonely heart soon will be humming
Pretty little Blusette, musn't be a mourner
Have you heard the news yet
Love's 'round the corner
Love wrapped in rainbows and tied with pink ribbons
To make your next springtime

mama
don't you treat me wrong
come and love your daddy all night long
alright now
hey hey
alright
See that girl with a diamond ring
she knows how to shake that thing
alright now
hey hey
hey hey
Tell your mama
tell your papa
I'm gonna sing you back to Arkansas
oh yes
you don't do right
don't you're right
oh play it
When you see me in misery
Come on baby
see my feet right
yeah
hey hey
alright
See the girl with the red dress on
She can do the birdland all night long
oh yeah
yeah
what'd I say
alright
Well
Tell me what'd I say
Tell me what'd I say
right now
Tell me what'd I say
Tell me what'd I say
right now
Tell me what'd I say
I wanna know
tell me I wanna know right now
Tell me I wanna know
Tell me I wanna know
right now
Tell me I wanna know...
HEY (HEY) OH (OH) ...
One more time

(Knut Koppang)
Angelina, why did you have to go
It's hard enough alone, well you should know
The scars you never showed me
Your eyes that turned away
Angelina, to God for you I prayed
Angelina, I often heard you weep
At times I'd stay awake and watch you sleep
Your innocence would move me
At times you've made me scared
Angelina, my love for you I cared
Angelina, in silence you would speak
A simple touch of you and I grew weak
You finally let me hold you
The day before you died
Angelina, my angel in the sky
You finally let me hold you
Th day before you died

I'm Alabamy bound
They'll be no heebie-jeebies hangin' 'round
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth
All I'm worth to put my tootsies in an upper berth
Just hear the choo-choo sound
I know that soon we're gonna cover ground
And then I'll holler so the world will know
Here I go, I'm Alabamy bound
I'm Alabamy bound
They'll be no heebie-jeebies hanging 'round
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth
All I'm worth to put my tootsies in an upper berth
Just hear the choo-choo sound
I know that soon we're gonna cover the ground
And then I'll holler so the world will know, here I go

Am I blue? Am I blue?
Ain't these tears
In these eyes telling you?
Am I blue? You'll be too
If your schemes like your dreams
Done fell through
Was a time, I was her only one
Now I am the sad and lonely one
Oh, yes I am
Was I gay 'til today?
Now she's gone and we're through
Am I blue?
Was a time, I was her only one
Now I am the sad and lonely one
I'm such a lonely one
Was I gay 'til today?
Now she's gone and we're through

The night was dark
the seas were rough
the port lay straight ahead
the booze ran out
the men grew tired and this is what they said
"captain if you cannot find a place to set her down"
"then you will be sleeping right along with this vessel in the ground!"
well the jolly roger pulled through and made it to the land,
we disembaked, went into town with vengence in our hand,
the children cried,
the women sighed,
the men just turned their heads,
with a smiled we chated loud and this is what we said
"wohohoho raise them in the air,
knock you up and slap you down,
and never seem to care.
wohohoho another one for me,
cause we're the filthy vermin,
that will set you people free,
cause we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free."
with nothing left for us to drink,
the night was winding down,
but still the girls were swaggering,
and still hanging around.
"Oh mister can you tell me,
where i can find a man,
"the only thing that you will find miss,
is the back side of me hand!"
"wohohoho raise them in the air!
knock you up and slap you down,
and never seem to care!
wohohoho another one for me,
cause we're the filthy vermin,
that will set you people free.
cause we're the filthy vermin,
that will set you people free.
wohohoho raise them in the air,
knock you up and slap you down,
and never seem to care.
wohohoho another one for me,
cause we're the filthy vermin,
that will set you people free,
cause we're the filthy vermin,
that will set you people free!"

I know he'll never be forgotten
He was a king uncrowned
I know I'll always remember
The warmth of his sound
Lingering long I'm sure he's still around
For those who heard they respect him yet
So those who hear won't forget
The sound of each phrase
Echoing time uncoantable by days
The things he played are with us now
And they'll endure should time allow
Oh yes I remember Clifford
I seem to always fed him near somehow
Every day I hear his lovely tone
In every trumpet sound that has a beauty all its own
So how can we say something so real has really gone away?
I hear him now, I always will
Believe me I remember Clifford still.

Who is my friend, when all friends are gone
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Who is my friend, when all friends are gone
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Who is my friend, when all friends are gone
You always defend me, if I'm right or wrong
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Talkin' 'bout you
Knows how to love me, in my way
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Knows how to love me, in my way
I'm talkin' 'bout you
Knows how to love me, in my way
Who's always there, every night and day
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Talkin' 'bout you
Who is the sugar in my tea
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Who is the sugar in my tea
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Who is the sugar in my tea
When I'm in trouble, who sees by me
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Talkin' 'bout you
Knows how to love me, in my way
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Knows how to love me, in my way
I'm talkin' 'bout you
Knows how to love me, in my way
Always there, every night and day
I'm talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Talkin' 'bout you, I do mean you
Talkin' 'bout you, I'm talkin' 'bout you
Talkin' 'bout you, I'm talkin' 'bout you
Talkin' 'bout you, I'm talkin' 'bout you
Talkin' 'bout you

SWEET GEORGIA BROWN
WRITERS BEN BERNIE, MACEO PINKARD, KENNETH CASEY
She just got here yesterday, Things are hot here now they say, There's a new gal in town. Gals are jealous, there's no doubt. All the guys just rave about Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown. And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say; Chorus: No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown. Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown. They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown, I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!). It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town. Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down. Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met. Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown. All you gals will get the blues, all you pals will surely lose. And, there's but one excuse. Now I've told you who she was, and I've told you what she does, Still, give this gal her dues. This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere Chorus: No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown. Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown. They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown, I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!). All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down. Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats. Oh boy, ain't she the cats? Who's that mister, tain't her sister, It's Sweet Georgia Brown.

People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Why won't they let us be
Bricks and stones may break my bones
but talk don't bother me
People talkin' tryin' to break us up
When they know that I love you so
So I don't care what the people may say
I'll never never let you go
I've been abused
(I've been abused)
In my heart
(my heart's been torn)
I've been accused
(I've been accused)
I've been 'buked
(I've been 'buked and I've been stung)
People talkin' tryin' to break us up, yeah
Scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes anything to make me shame
(bridge)
I've been abused
(I've been abused)
In my heart
(my heart's been torn)
I've been accused
(I've been accused)
I've been 'buked
(I've been 'buked and I've been stung)
People talkin' tryin' to break us, yup
And they scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes anything to make me shame
Yes I know
(oh, yes I know)
Yes I know it
(oh, yes I know)
And you know it, too
(oh, yes I know)
Don't you know it, too
(oh, yes I know)
Ohhhhh, don't you know it too

Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just got to play the game

I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine
(minor scat) But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia I
feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now And it's rainin' all over the
world
Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?
And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',
rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin'

People will say we're in love
[Verse]
Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours?
Why do the neighbors chatter all day, behind their doors?
I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue.
Here is the gist, a practical list of "don'ts" for you.
[Chorus]
Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we're in love!
Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine
People will say we're in love!
Don't start collecting things
Give me my rose and my glove.
Sweetheart they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love.
Don't praise my charm too much
Don't look so vain with me
Don't stand in the rain with me
People will say we're in love!
Don't take my arm too much
Don't keep your hand in mine
Your hand feels so grand in mine
People will say we're in love!
Don't dance all night with me
Till the stars fade from above.
They'll see it's alright with me
People will say we're in love.

Just a little lovin, yeah
Will go a long way
Well you made me happy
The rest of my days
Why don't you put your arms around me,
And I'll be your slave
Cause just a little lovin will go a long way
Ever since time began love has ruled the world
Even adam set the pace and started it a whirl
I met you and now I know you're the girl for me
Why don't you come on home and you'll plainly see
That just a little lovin
Will go a long way
And you make me happy
The rest of my days
Why don't you put your arms around me
And I'll be your slave
Cause just a little lovin
Will go a long way
I don't believe you really know how much I love you
If you did you'd come on back and make my dreams come true
Your eyes, your lips, your lovin kiss seem to linger here
Well you'll forgive but please don't forget that just a little lovin
Will go a long way
Well you make me happy girl,
The rest of my days
Why don't you put your arms around me yeah
And I'll be your slave
cause just a little lovin
Will go a long way

That big eight-wheeler runnin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't acomin' back
'Cause he's movin on, he's rollin on
You were flyin to high for my little ol' sky
So I'm movin' on
But some day baby when you've had you play
Your gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, keep rollin' on
You were flyin to high for my little ol' sky
So I'm movin' on. Move on baby.
Mr. Farmer won't you please listen to me
'Cause I gotta pretty momma in Tennessee
Keep rollin on, keep movin' on,
Please listen to me let this rattler free
And keep movin' on
Move on ol' son, move on
Well I told you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
And now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
But I'm movin' on
Move on baby, move on
I said move on, I said move on,
I said move on, I said move on,
Well I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
I said move on, I said move on
I said move on, I said move on

I can't stop loving you,
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome time
I can't stop wanting you,
it's useless to say So
I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
Those happy hours that we once knew So long ago,
still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
I can't stop loving you,
I've made up my mind To live
in memories of old lonesome time
I can't stop wanting you,
it's useless to say So

Usin' the phone booth,
Makin' a few calls,
Doodlin' weird things,
Usin' the booth walls.
Got me a big date,
Waitin' for my chick,
Puttin' my face on,
So she could look slick,
I enjoy procrastinating
'Cause I'm busy while I'm waiting,
Doodlin' away, doodlin away
Sittin' and dinin' (dining)
Dinner beginnin',
Started designin'
Usin' the linen,
Talkin' to my date,
Doodlin' my bit,
Waiter got salty,
Told me to please quit
Told the waiter, "Don't be dizzy,
"Can't you see I'm very busy,
"Doodlin' away, doodlin' away."
"Do you doodle all day?"
Asked the waiter in his way,
"Do you doodle all night?"
Told the waiter he was right,
"In your doodlin' way-"
"That's the way I'm gonna stay,"
"Are you thinkin' things right?"
"Doodlin' sheds a lot of light,"
"Don't know what I can do,"
"Ain't nothing you can do,"
"With old doodlin' you,"
"Doodin's all I want to do,"
That's for true!
Why does every single thing I see
Look exactly like a doodle to me?
If I ever have a doubt
What life is all about
I get my pencil out and then commence to doodlin'
And I find it real relaxing
'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing!
'Cause weird designs
They only show what's going on
In weirder minds
Those when you doodle then your noodle's flying blind
Every little thing that you write
Just conceivably might
Be a thought that you capture
While coppin' a wink
Doodlin' takes you beyond what you see
When you write what you think.
I'd feel so lost without my doodlin',
Doodlin' really helps me ease my mind,
I'd be tempest-tossed
Without my doodlin',
When I'm doodlin' there's one thing I find,
Truly, I really really really really really truly truly wanna figure out
What my doodlin's all about.
Later the waiter
Had me arrested,
Took me to Bellevue,
Where I was tested.
Had me a doctor
Probin' my noodle,
'Fore he was half-done,
Taught him to doodle,
Showed him hidden thoughts that linger
Find an outlet through your finger,
Doodlin' away, doodlin' away.
Doctor was real nice,
Told me to be cool,
Looked at the waiter,
Called him the real fool,
Looked at my baby
Told me he dug her,
Got me to doodlin',
So he could bug her,
When he put his arms around her,
Quite to his surprise he found her,
Doodlin' away, doodlin' away
We just doodle all day!

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' Oooh
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder)
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
If I lived to be a hundred years old
Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Yeah now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better)
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow)
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door
Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Alright now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
(That it won't be long before it's cryin' time)

"Careless Love"
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love,
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love.
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love,
Now now don't you see what your careless love has done.
Well you worried my mother till she died
And you caused my father to lose his mind.
Now damn you I'm goin' to shoot you, Lord, I'm gonna shoot you both right down,
I'm gonna spare no one of you child till you spin next dyin'.
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love.
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love.
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love
Oh Lord, don't you see what, what your careless love has done.
Oh yeah.
Careless love now don't know see how you follow me down,
Careless love, don't you see how you follow me down.
Well, you robbed me out of my silver, Lord, and out of my gold
Ever since you been a-ridin' by side.
Oh love, oh love, oh careless,
Oh love, yes oh love, oh careless love.
Oh love, I said love, oh careless love now
Don't you see what your careless love has done, yeah.

I love you so much it hurts me
Darlin, that's why I'm so blue
I'm so afraid to go to bed at night
Afraid of losing you.
I love you so much, it hurts me
And there's nothing I can do
I want to hold you, my dear, forever and ever
I love so much it hurts me so.

I really can't stay - Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby, it's cold out there
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful what you're hurry
And father will be pacing the floor - Listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more - put some records on while I pour
And the neighbors might think - Baby it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no sir - Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Baby but it's cold outside
I simpely must go - but Baby it's cold outside
The answer is no - but baby, it's cold outside
The welcome has been - How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out that window, at the storm
My sister will be suspicious - Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Oh, never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - Baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
Baby but it's cold out side

It brings a tear,
Into my eyes,
When I begin,
To realize,
I've cried so much,
Since you've been gone,
I guess I'm drowning in my own tears,
I sit and cry,
Just like a child
My pouring tears
Are runnin' wild
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
I know it's true
Into each life
Some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining
More and more
Why don't you
Come on home
Oh yes so I won't
Be all alone
If you don't think

Every time it rains
I think of you
And that's the time

The rain starts to fall
Across my windows pane
But it's raining teardrops
From my eyes
If you see tears
Here in my eyes
It's just because
You said goodbye
So baby won't you hurry
Because I love you so
And it's raining teardrops
From my eyes
Remeber the night you told me
Our love would always be
I wouldn't be sad and lonely
If you were here with me
Every single cloud
Would dissappear
I'd wear a smile
If you were here
So baby won't you hurry
Because I love you so
And it's raining teardrops
From my eyes

I was oh, so blue till you came along,
just to make my life a wonderful song

What can i do
You win again
The news is out
All over town
That you4ve been seen
Just a running â'round
I know that i
Shouldn't be, but ten
I just can't do
You win again
This heart of mine
Could never see
What everybody knew about me
Just trustin' you
Was my great sin
What can i do
You win again, yes
What can i do
You win again
I'm sorry for
Your victim now
Cause soon, his head
Like mine will bow
He'll give his heart
But all in vain
And some day say
You win again
You have no heart
You have no shame
You take true love
And give the blame
I'll guess that I should not complain
I love you still
Well, you win again
I love you still
You win again
Win again.

Mean to me. Why must you be mean to me?
Gee honey, it seems to me you love to see me cryin
(i dont know why)
I stay home each night when you say you'll phone.
You don't! and i'm left alone singin the blues and sighin
You treat me coldly each day of the year.
And you only hold me whenever somebody is near
Dear, it must be great fun to me mean to me.
You shouldn't, for can't you see what you mean to me.

In a Little Spanish Town
In a little Spanish town
It was on a night like this
Stars were peek-a-boo-ing down
It was on a night like this
I whispered 'Be true to me'
And she sighed 'Si Si'
Many skies have turned to gray
Because we're far apart
Many moons have passed away
And still she's in my heart
We made a promise and sealed it with a kiss
In a little Spanish town
It was on a night like this
I whispered 'Be true to me'
And she sighed 'Si Si'
We made a promise and sealed it with a kiss
In a little Spanish town
It was on a night like this
In a little Spanish town
It was on a night like this

My mother told me
Before she passed away
Said son when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray
'Cause there'll be hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?
Well I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay the rent
Talkin' 'about hard times
Who knows better than I?
I had a woman
Who was always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down
Talkin' 'bout hard times
Yeah,yeah, who knows better than I?
Lord, one of these days
There'll be no sorrow
When I pass away
And no more hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I miss you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
CHORUS
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all my dreams:
CHORUS

You promised me love
That would never die
That promise you've made
Was only a lie.
Now after you've gone
All alone I've pined
For all that I've got
Was a worried mind.
I gave you a ring
I gave you a home
You promised me love
That you'd never wrong.
I bought you fine clothes
And I bought you wine
But all that I got
Was a worried mind.
--- Instrumental ---
And when I was down
You've just left me there
I needed you so
But you didn't care.
You found a new love
And a home so fine
But all that I've got
Is a worried mind...

I awakened this morning, I was filled with despair
All my dreams turned to ashes and gone, oh yeah
As I looked at my life it was barren and bare
Without love I've had nothing at all
Without love I've had nothing
Without love I've had nothing at all
I have conquered the world
All but one thing did I have
Without love I've had nothing at all
Once I had a sweetheart who loved only me
There was nothing, oh that she would not give, oh no
But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see
That a heart without love cannot live
Without love I've had nothing
Without love I've had nothing at all
I have conquered the world
All but one thing did I have
Without love I've had nothing at all

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide its starry light
So none will see me sighing and crying all alone
Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me
Oh, Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me

When Your Lover Has Gone
LYRICS:
Writer: Swan
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

I'll always love you the same old way
No matter what may come between
Just send me a smile
Once in a lonely while
Tell me, you'll wait for me
How can I forget you starry eyes
You hair when its lit by the moonlit skies
Just keep that smile in you
Til I come home to you
Tell me, you'll wait for me
You're the one, you're the one
Whom I love, and care so much for
But now, til it ends, I'll just wish to be near
Caressing you dear
I'll always dream of dreams with you
Those things we meant to say and do
Keep them a glow(?)
Someday we'll make them so
And tell me, you'll wait for me
I'll always dream of dreams with you
Those things we meant to say and do
Keep them a glow(?)
Someday we'll make them so
Tell me, you'll wait for me

Together again
My tears have stopped fallin
The long lonely nights
Are now at an end
The key to my heart
You hold in your hand
And nothing else matters
We're together again
Together again
The grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms
Now where you belong
The love that we knew
Is living again
And nothing else matters, Baby
We're together again
Well, nothing else matters, Baby

Unchain my heart, baby let me be
Unchain my heart 'cause you don't care about me
You've got me so like a pillow case
but you let my love go away so
Unchain my heart oh! Please me set me free
Unchain my heart, baby let me go
Unchain my heart, 'cause you don't love me no more
Ev'ry time I call you on the phone
Some fella tells me that you're not at home so
Unchain my heart oh! Please me set me free
I'm under you spell like a man in a trance
But I know darn well that I can't stand a chance
So unchain my heart let me go away
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day
Why lead me through a life of misery
when you don't care I beg a bi for me
So unchain my heart oh! Please me set me free

Tired of my tears
Ray Charles
Girl, you better go back in your mind
Try and find yourself a brand new life
I love you but you're toying with me
So if you can't change, go on, let me be
CHORUS
Well, I'm sick of your lies (sick of your lies)
Tired of my tears (tired of my tears)
Girl, if you want me, better tell it like it is
Oh, when a boy meets a Girl he likes
He starts to dream
Before he know it, he's caught buyin' his scheme
Now, I used to believe every word you say
But realize now, that was yesterday
CHORUS
Solo
CHORUS
When I'm with you, I lose control
That's why I'm offering you my heart and soul
You better take it now 'cause when it's gone
I won't even answer my telephone
CHORUS (x2)

Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him sunday
Maybe monday
Maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe tuesday
Will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would?
Would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for....
The man I love

1) youl never know I cried , when I found out you
lied
for Ive been hangin on this teardrops in my heart
2) my eyes dare not reveal , the way I realy feel
because I know Il cry my heart out if I start
* though Im pretending , that I dont care
to be with you my darlin , is my prayer
3) but way down deep inside , I cant give up my pride
so Ill just keep on hiding teardrops in my heart
( SOLO PIANO )

TAKES TWO TO TANGO
You can haunt any house by yourself
Be a man or a mouse by yourself
You can act like a king on a thrown
There are lots of things that you can do alone
But it takes two to tango two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Two to tango two to tango do the dance of love
You can sail on a ship by yourself
Take a nap or nip by yourself
You can get into debt on your own
There are lots of things that you can do alone
But it takes ..............
You can get very old by yourself
Catch a fish or a cold by yourself
Dig a ditch or strike it rich all by yourself
There are lots of things that you can do alone
But it takes ......
You can fight like a champ by yourself
You can lick any stamp by yourself
You can be very brave on the phone
There are lots of things that you can do alone
But it takes ................
It Takes two, I say two
Darling it always takes two
I'm with you

(Take these chains from my heart and set me free)
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new, let me find a new love, too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Instrumental

The song a robin sings,
Through years of endless springs,
The murmur of a brook at evening tide.
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.
That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and I agree,
She's everything on Earth to me.
The murmur of a brook at evening tide.
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.
That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and I agree,
She's everything on Earth to me.

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money,
Maybe we're ragged and funny;
But we'll travel along, singin' a song,
Side by side.
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow,
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow;
But we'll travel the road, sharin' our load,
Side by Side.
Through all kinds of weather,
What if the sky should fall; but
As long as we're together,
It doesn't matter- matter at all.
When they've all had their quarrels and parted,
We'll be the same as we started;
Just travelin' along, singin' a song,
Side by Side.

Sherry, Sherry baby
Sherry, Sherry baby
Sherry baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight
(Come,come, come out tonight)
Sherry baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight
(Why don't you come out) To my twist party
(Come out) Where the bright moon shines
(Come out) We'll dance the night away
I'm gonna make you mine
Sherry baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight
(Come, come, come out tonight)
You better ask your Mama (Sherry baby)
Tell her everything is alright
(Why don't you come out) With your red dress on
(Come out) Mmm you look so fine
(Comeout) Move it nice and easy
Girl, you make me lose my mind
repeat to fade Sherry, sherry baby

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
I got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
I long to hear that: "All aboard!"
Seven, that's the time we leave - at seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track - that moves me back
I never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

Rosetta my Rossetta
In my heart dear there's nobody else but you
Rosetta, my Rosetta
Don't you ever leave me for some other cat that's new
You made my life a dream
Now I pray you'll make it come true
Rosetta, my Rosetta
Let me get to know you better, Rosetta
Repeat

If I don't see her each day, I miss her
Gee what a thrill, each time I kiss her
Believe me, I've got a case
On Nancy with the laughing face
She takes the winter and she makes it summer
And summer could take a few lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the laughing face
Did you ever heard mission bells ringing?
Well, she'll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just hear her say, hello
I swear to goodness, you can't resist her
Sorry for you she has no sister
No angel could replace

Put another nickel in, in the Nickelodeon
All I want is having you and music, music, music
I'd do anything for you, anything you'd want me to
All I want is kissing you and music, music, music
Closer, my dear come closer
The nicest part of any melody
Is when you're dancing close to me
Put another nickel in, in the Nickelodeon

Tears fell this morning
As I thought of the good old days
Somebody tell me
I've got to know, is this the end,
Cause I've lost everything
I have no friends
But it's no use crying
No use crying
No use crying
When I was young
And things were going my way
Had I thought of the future
I would not be in this shape today
Somebody please tell me
I've got to know, is this the end,
Cause I've lost everything
I have no friends
I'm tryin to tell you it's no use crying
No use crying
No use crying
So people, don't be no sleepers
Take my advice
Opportunity never knocks twice
Here today
Tomorrow it's gone away
And you've lost everything
And you have no friends
But it's no use crying
No use crying
No use crying

1) ( I need someone to say I do )
no one to cry to now , no one to say goodnight
no one to tell my troubles to
2) Ive got no one , to sigh to , no one to hold me
tight
no one to chear me when Im blue
* when I go home to my lonely room
and find there— no one there
and each night I think of you , so please answer this
one prayer
3) and youl need someone , I said to cry to
someone to say I do
someone to whisper I love you
* ( RAELLETES ) repeat

INTRO:

Written by John Blackburn & Karl Suessdorf
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves, a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
Icy finger-waves
Ski trails on a mountainside
Snowlight in Vermont
Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely...
Ev'ning summer breeze
Warbling of a meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont

Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway
And they travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely...
Ev'ning summer breeze
The warbling of a meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont
You and I and Moonlight in Vermont

Makes no difference now what kind of life fate hands me
I'll get along without you now that's plain to see
I don't care what happens next 'cause I'll get by somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now
It was just a year ago when I first met you
I learned to love you and I thought you loved me too
But now that's all in the past and I'll forget somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now
(Instrumental)
Now that we have really parted I can't believe we're through
I don't blame myself and I'm sure I can't blame you
I know that something had to happen and it happened somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now
After all is said and done I'll soon forget you
Although I know that it will be so hard to do
Let things happen as they will and I'll get by somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now

It had to be you. It had to be you.
I've wandered around,
finally found somebody who,
could make me be true.
Whoa whoa whoa could make me be blue.
And, even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you...
Some others I've seen - might never be mean.
Might never be cross. Or, try to be boss.
But, they wouldn't do.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
With all your faults I love you still.
It had to be you. Wonderful you.
It had to be you...

'Cause nobody else gave me a thrill.
With all yo' faults - I love you still now.
And it had to be you. It just had to be you.
It had to be you...

You said before me met
that your life was awful tame
Well, I took you to a night club
and the whole band knew your name. Oh,
Well, baby, baby, baby
I've Got News For You
Oh, somehow your story don't ring true,
Well, I've got news for you.
Well, you phoned me you'd be late
cause you took the wrong express
and then you walked in smiling
with your lipstick all a mess
Oh, let me say to you little mama,
Wo, I've Got News for you
Ah, your story don't ring true lil girl
Yeah, I've got news for you.
(Instumental - subdominant bridge)
(A section solo)
Oh, you wore a diamond watch,
claimed it was from Uncle Joe.
When I looked at the inscription
it said love from Daddy-O.
Oh, well baby, wo lil girl, I wanna say
I've Got News For You.
Ah, if you think that jive will do
Let me tell you, oh,
I've Got News For You
Well, somehow your story don't ring true
Wo, I've Got News For You.

Just for a thrill
You changed the sunshine to rain
Just for a thrill
You filled my heart with pain
To me, you were my pride and joy
But to you, I was merely a toy
A plaything, that you could toss around at will
Just for a thrill
You made my life one sad song
Just for a thrill
You just led me, me along
Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
'Cause you made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill
Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
'Cause you made my heart stand still
Well, it was just for a thrill
And baby you, you, made my heart stand still

I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry over me.
Every road has its turning, that's one thing I'm learning.
I cried for you, what a fool I used to be,
Now I find your eyes just a little bit bluer,
And I find your heart just a little bit truer.
I cried for you, not it's your turn to cry over me.

Instrumental

Here we go again
She's back in town again
I'll take her back again
One more time
Here we go again
The phone will ring again
I'll be her fool again
One more time
I've been there before
And I'll try it again
But any fool knows
That there's no way to win
Here we go again
She'll break my heart again
I'll play the part again
One more time

Well, if you loved me half as much as I love you
You couldn't worry me half as much as you do
Woah, you're so nice to me when there's no one else around
But you only build me up to take me down
Oh, but if you missed me half as much as I miss you
Well, you couldn't stay away half as much as you do
Woah, I know that I could never be this blue
Well, if you only loved me half as much as I love you
I know that I, I know that I could never be this blue
Woah, if you only loved me half as much as I love you
Well, as I love you

The torch I carry is handsome, it's worth its heartache in ransom
Now when that twilight steals, I know how the lady in the harbor feels
When I want rain, I get sunny weather, I'm just as blue, blue as the sky
Since love has gone, I can't get myself together, guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy, I've got to get a new alibi
I hang around at home, and ask myself: "Where is she?"
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops, moving on a stream of dreams
My little memories, those precious memories, remind me of our crazy schemes
Then somebody says, just forget about her, but I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by - oh well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

i know you've heard these word a hunder of the time before
and you've been hurting so your heart...(sorry i don't know)
love broke your heart and broke your life
look in my eyes you'll see a love...
tender and strong enough for you
you can trust this love...
chorus: from the heart i'm giving you everything everything
from the heart i promise you that i'll be there
i'll be there to love you
from the heart i'm showing you're all i feel all i feel yeah from the heart from the heart
i will protect you and respect you and give all you need
and when you reach for love you only need to reach for me
these arms will never let you down
that's day...
i offer you to every storm
i'll keep you safe i'll keep you warm
and you had no doubt
you're the one i'm living for
repeat chorus
i'll provide the love you need just trust my touch belive in me
i'll never make you cry
keep this all i got with all i got inside
repeat chorus

Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.

No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain
The one I love
I'm through with flirtin'
It's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you
Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don't go nowhere
What do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for
Believe me
I don't stay out late
Don't care to go
I'm home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin'

Girl, you're my sunshine
Chase away the raindrops
Make it all worthwhile
Make all the pain stop
Just like a river
Keep love flowing
Don't let our world stop
Keep it going
Chorus:
I love you just the way you are
Honey, don't change on me
Girl, don't you change on me.....girl, don't you change on me....no, no
Girl, you're my lucky star
Honey, don't change on me
Don't change on me.....don't change on me
I used to wonder
Where would I find
Some kind of happiness
And peace of mind
I was living in darkness
But then you came
Bringing the sunlight
Easing my pain
(Chorus)
If there's a heaven
Then this is my prayer
Lord knows I want to know you
If we should meet there
And then forever
We'll walk together
Nothing but sunshine
No more stormy weather
(Chorus....repeat)

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You done daddy dirty
He sure don't want you no more
Don't let the sun catch you lyin'
Lyin' at my front door
Daddy's done turned salty
And baby, you made him so sore
You can cry, cry, cry
Yes baby, you can wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Till the man comes and throws you in jail
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You done your daddy dirty
I tell you, he just don't want you no more

Don't let the sun catch you lyin'
Lyin' at my front door
Daddy's done turned salty
Baby, you made him so sore
Whoa, you know you done me dirty now
And I just don't want you no more

1) dont cry , baby

2) mhh you know I didnt mean

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me...
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on! Come on!
Cry me a river...
Cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you...

If your sweetheart, sends a letter, of goodbye
It's no secret, you'll feel better, if you cry
When wakened, from a bad dream, don't you sometimes think it's real
Well it's only, false emotion, that you feel
If your heartaches, seems to hang around, too long
And your blues, keep getting blue-er, with each song
Remember, sunshine can be found, behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down now, and baby go on and cry
(If your heartaches seem to hang around too long)
(And your blues keep getting blue-er with each song)
Well remember, sunshine can be found, behind a cloudy sky
Why don't you let your hair down now, baby go on and cry
I said let your hair down, baby go on and cry.

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

Chattanooga Choo-Choo
Hey there, pal, whatcha say?
Step aside partner, it's my day
Bend an ear and listen to my version
(Of a really solid, Tennessee excursion)
Pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
(Yes Yes) Track 29!
Boy you can give me a shine
(Can you afford to board, the Chattanooga Choo Choo?)
I've got my fare
And just a trifle to spare
You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer
(then to have your ham and eggs in Carolina)
When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shuffle all the coal in
Gotta keep it rollin'
(Whoo Whoo Chattanooga there you are)
There's gonna be, a certain party at the station
Satin and Lace
I used to call funny face
She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
(So Chattanooga Choo Choo)
Won't you choo choo me home.
Get aboard...
All aboard...
Chattanooga choo choo
Wont you choo choo me home

Carry me back to old Virginny,
There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow,
There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring time,
There's where the darkey's heart am longed to go.
There's where I labored so hard for old massa,
Day after day in the field of yellow corn,
No place on earth do I love more sincerely,
Than old Virginny, the state where I was born.
Carry me back to old Virginny,
There let me live 'till I wither and decay,
Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered,
There's where this old darkies' life am passed away.
Massa and misses, have long gone before me,
Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore.
There we'll be happy and free from all sorrow,
There's where we'll meet and we'll never part no more.
Carry me back to old Virginny,
There's where the cotton and the corn and tators grow,
There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring time,
There's where the old darkies' heart am longed to go.

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness, hello loneliness
I think I'm-a gonna cry-y
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress, hello emptiness
I feel like I could di-ie
Bye bye my love goodby-eye
There goes my baby with-a someone new
She sure looks happy, I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
CHORUS
I'm-a through with romance, I'm a-through with love
I'm through with a'countin' the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My lovin' baby is through with me
CHORUS
Bye bye my love goodby-eye
Bye bye my love goodby-eye
FADE: Bye bye my love goodby-eye
Bye bye my love goodby-eye

Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.
Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.
Born to lose, my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face that empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.
There's no use to dream of happiness
All I see is only loneliness
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

INSTRUMENTAL

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor an' watch the door
In between I drink
Black coffee €
Love's a hand-me-down room
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room.
Been talkin' to the shadows
One o'clock 'til four
An' Lord how slow the moments go
When all ya do is pour
Black coffee €
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry.
You know a man is born to love a woman
To work and slave to pay her debts
Just because he's only human
To drown his past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes.
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Mournin' all the night
In between it's nicotine
Not much heart to fight
Black coffee ...
Feelin' low as the ground
I'm waitin' for my baby
To maybe come around.
Gonna drown my past regrets
In some coffee and a few cigarettes.
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Mournin' all the night
In between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee €
Feeling low as the ground
It's driving me crazy!
Just waitin' for my baby
To maybe come around.
Please come around
Please come €

I know you told me
Such a long time ago
That you didn't want me
You didn't love me no more
I want to know
Oh, what makes me be
do you believe me child
A fool for you
Ohoh, no, I'm a fool for you
I know you told me
You didn't want me `round
And I know
You got a man way `cross town
So I know it's something
Oh, what makes me be
do you believe me child
I'm a fool for you
Ohoh, no, I'm a fool for you
Did ya ever wake up in the morning
Just about the break of day
Reach over and feel the pillow
Where your baby used to lay
Then you put on your crying
Like you never cried before
Oh lord
Yeah you even cry so loud,
You give the blues to your neighbor next door
Ever since you were five years old
I been a fool for you, little girl
Way down in my soul
I'm a little fool for ya
So I know it's something
Oh, oh, Lord
I'm a fool for you

Oh beautiful for heroes proved,
In liberating strife,
Who more than self, our country loved,
And mercy more than life,
America, America may God thy gold refine,
Til all success be nobleness
And every gain devined.
And you know when I was in school,
We used to sing it something like this, listen here:
Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple maountain majesties,
Above the fruited plain,
But now wait a minute, I'm talking about
America, sweet America
You know, God done shed his grace on thee,
He crowned thy good, yes he did, in brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.
You know, I wish I had somebody to help me sing this
(America, America, God shed his grace on thee)
America, I love you America, you see,
My God he done shed his grace on thee,
And you oughta love him for it,
Cause he, he, he ,he crowned thy good,
He told me he would, with brotherhood,
(From sea to shining Sea).
Oh lord, oh lord, I thank you Lord
(Shining sea).

Alone together
Alone together, beyond the crowd,
Above the world, we're not too proud
To cling together, We're strong
As long as we're together.
Alone together, the blinding rain
The starless night, were not in vain;
For we're together, and what is there
To fear together.
Our love is as deep as the sea,
Our love is as great as a love can be,
And we can weather the great unknown,
If we're alone together.

Moon over Miami
Shine on my love and me
So we can stroll beside the roll
Of the rolling sea
Moon over Miami
Shine on as we begin
A dream or two that may come true
When the tide comes in
Hark to the song of the smiling troubadours
Hark to the throbbing guitars
Hear how the waves offer thunderous applause
After each song to the stars
Moon over Miami
You know we're waiting for
A little love, a little kiss

Yesterday, all my troubles
Seemed so far away, yeah
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not a half the man
I used to be, no, no, no
There's a shadow hanging over me
For yesterday came suddenly
Why did she have to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say
Wait a minute, I, I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Oh, yesterday, love was such an
Easy game to play, yes, it was
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why did she have to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say
But listen, I, I must've said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an
Easy game to play, yeah
Now I need a place to hide away

Without a song, hey, the day would never end
Without a song, I know, I know the road would never bend
When things go wrong a man ain't got no friend
I want you to know, I want you to know without a song
I say, I say you must have a song
That field of corn, he would never see a plow
That field of corn, oh, would be, would be deserted now
A man is born but he ain't no good, no how
I know, I know unless you have a song
Let me tell you, you must have a song
I've got my troubles and woe
Long as I know, oh, the Jordan will roll
I know the Jordan, Jordan will roll
I'll get along, long as a song still in my soul
I know, oh, I know I'll never know
Hey, what makes the grass so tall?
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I only know that there ain't no love at all
I say, I say, unless you have a song
Unless you have a song
If you can do no more then just
Sing it children
Oh, yeah
I know a man is born
But he ain't no good, no how
Hey, hey, hey, hey, unless he has song
When you get up in the morning you must have a song

First you say you do
And then you don't
And then you say you will
And then you won't
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Now you want to play
And then it's no
And when you say you'll stay
That's when you go
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
I've been sitting on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it
Then you promise to return
When you don't, I really burn
Well, I guess I'll never learn
And I show it
If you've got a heart
And if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart
Make up your mind
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
I've been sitting on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it
Then you promise to return
When you don't, I really burn
Well, I guess I'll never learn
And I show it
If you've got a heart
And if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart
Make up your mind
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Now if you don't love me
I wish you'd say so
Our love is so much honey
I'd just got to know
I am just a fool for you

Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
To make whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, uh, he answers twice
It's really killin', the boy's so willin'
To make whoopee, whoopee
Picture a little love nest, yeah
Down where the roses cling
Picture that same sweet love nest
See what a year can bring
I tell you the boy's washin' dishes an', baby clothes
He's so ambitious, ooh, I tell you he sews
It's really killin', the boy's so willin'
To make whoopee, whoopee
You see, I don't make much money
Only five, uh, uh, thousand per
And some judge who thinks he's funny
Tells me I've got to pay six to her
I said now judge, suppose I fail?
The judge says, "Ray, son, son, right on into jail
Ah, you better keep her, I think it's cheaper"

I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
I gambled on your love baby, yes it got a losing hand
Your ways keep changing like the shifting desert sand

While I was playing fair baby you played a cheating game
I know you didn't care but I love you just the same
I thought I'd be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen
I thought I'd be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen
But you used me for your joker 'cause I thought you're deal was clean
The way you did me pretty baby, I declare I'll never understand
The way you did me pretty baby, I declare I'll never understand

Hey everybody
Let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done
So let the good times roll
I said, "Let the good times roll"
I don't care if you're young or old
You oughtta get together and let the good times roll
Don't sit there mumbling
Talkin' trash
If you want to have a ball
You got to go out and spend some cash
And let the good times roll now
I'm talkin' about the good times
Well it makes no difference whether you're young or old
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
Hey y'all tell everybody, Ray Charles in town
I got a dollar and a quarter and I'm just ringing the clock
But don't let no female, play me cheap
I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep
So let the good times roll now
I tell y'all I'm gonna let the good times roll now
Well it don't make no difference if you're young or old
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
Hey no matter whether, rainy weather
If you want to have a ball
You got to get yourself together
Oh, get yourself under control, woh, and let your good times roll

I'm gonna move, baby
Way out on the outskirts of town
I'm gonna move, baby
Way out on the outskirts of town
You see I don't need nobody
Always hangin' 'round
Let me tell you, honey
We gonna move away from here
I don't need no iceman
I'm gonna get you a Frigidaire
When we move
Way out on the outskirts of town
Whoa, you see we won't need nobody
Always hangin' 'round
It may seem funny, honey
Funny as can be
If we have a dozen children
You know they all, all better look like me
When we move
Way back 'a town
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, we won't need no-body
Always hangin? ?round
We don't need nobody, baby
All, always hanging 'round
Hangin' 'round

You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long-ago
And each has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune
Then you've left her to hunt a new game
Does it ever occur to you later, my boy
That she's probably doing the same?
If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year
I wonder who's kissing her now
I wonder who's teaching her how
I wonder who's looking into her eyes
Breathing sighs, telling lies
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips
That I used to call mine
I wonder if she ever tells him of me

Now I could have been a gambler
'Coz I'm good with the cards
I could have been a lover
Breakin' other's hearts
And I feel so silly
Bettin' on the dice
And a lover seldom sees
The same girl twice
And that is why
(That is why)
Oh that's why I chose
(That's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues, yes, I did
Now, I could have been a doctor
Helping the sick
I could have been a lawyer
But you know that ain't my stick
'Coz I feel so bad
If a patient didn't do well
And I feel just as bad
To leave a client in jail
And that is why
(That is why)
Oh that's why I chose
(That's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues
Now a man has a lot
That he could present
Just to think
I could have been president
But I can't understand
What politicians say
So I wanna talk to you
In my own little way
And that is why
(That is why)
(That's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues
Yes I did, friends
Don't you know what I mean
I like what I'm doin'
You know, I like the blues
Everybody understands
What I mean when I say
Something like this here
Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout

My mother told me, before she passed away
Said son when I'm gone don't forget to pray
'Cause there'll be hard times, hard times, oh yeah
Who knows better than I?
Well, I soon found out, just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes, just to pay my rent
Talkin' 'bout hard times, hard times, oh yeah
Who knows [Incomprehensible] better than I?
I had a woman, Lord, who was always around
But when I lost my money, then she put me down
Talkin' 'bout hard times, you know those hard
Yeah Lord, who knows better than I?
Yeah Lord, yeah, one of these days
There'll be no more sorrow, when I pass away
And no more hard times, I said no more hard

My mother told me, before she passed away
Said son when I'm gone don't forget to pray
'Cause there'll be hard times, hard times, oh yeah
Who knows better than I?

Talkin' 'bout hard times, hard times, oh yeah
Who knows [Incomprehensible] better than I?
I had a woman, Lord, who was always around
But when I lost my money, then she put me down
Talkin' 'bout hard times, you know those hard
Yeah Lord, who knows better than I?
Yeah Lord, yeah, one of these days
There'll be no more sorrow, when I pass away
And no more hard times, I said no more hard

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
She is my baby, and he she lives next door
Every morning 'fore the sun comes up
She brings my coffee in my favourite cup
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
When I'm in trouble and I have no friends
I know she'll go with me until the end
Everybody asks me, "How I know?"
I smile at them and say she told me so
That's why I know, oh, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Now if I call her on the telephone
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she hold me tight
And tell me, "Daddy everything's all right"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Now if I call her on the telephone
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she hold me tight
And tell me, "Daddy everything's all right"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Oh, Hallelujah don't you know
I just love her so
She is my liitle woman
Way all down

Everyday, everyday I have the blues
Everyday, everyday I have the blues
When you see me worryin' baby, it's you I hate to lose
Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Talking 'bout worries and problems people, oh you know I've had my share
Everyday, everyday, yea, now everyday, everyday, everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, yea

Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin', ooh
That it won't be long before it's crying time
Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
(Fonder)
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger
(Stronger)
If I lived to be a hundred years old
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin', yeah now
That it won't be long before it's crying time
Now you say you've found someone that you love better
(Better)
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
('Morrow)
Crying time will start when you walk out the door
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin', alright now
That it won't be long before it's crying time

California, here I come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers and flowers bloom in the sun
Each morning at dawning birdies sing and everything
A sun kissed miss said, "Don't be late"
That's why I can hardly wait
So open up those Golden Gate
California, here I come
California, here I come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers and flowers bloom in the sun
Each morning at dawning birdies sing and everything
A sun kissed miss said, "Don't be late"
That's why I can hardly wait
So open up those Golden Gate

C.C. rider, see what you've gone done
Lord, Lord, Lord, made me love you
Now, your dear done come, you made me love you
Now, your man done come
Now, I'm goin' away, baby, won't be back till fall
Lord, Lord, Lord, I'm goin' away, baby, won't be back till fall
And if I find me a good girl, I won't be back at all
C.C. rider, where did you stay last night
Lord, Lord, Lord, your choosin' buttons
Your clothes don't fit you right

Yeah, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm busted
Cotton is down, quarter a pound but I'm busted, oh yeah
I got cow that went dry, hen that won't lay
Big stack of bills gettin' bigger each day
County's gonna haul my name, know that I went and I'm busted, I am, yeah
Well, I went to my brother to ask for a loan 'cause I was busted
But I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted
But my brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
I was just thinking about calling on you 'cause I'm busted"
And I am no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted, no, no, no
Well, the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
And my family and I had to pack up and go

I say, baby, don't you cry
You know I'll soon discover
One day by and by
That you loved another
No matter what you say
I'm gonna leave you right away
So now, baby, baby, don't you cry
Mmm, you know you can't deny
I did my best to please you
But you were so unkind
But still I try to need you
True love that was sincere
You didn't really care
So now, baby, baby, don't you cry
And I remember, sweetheart
That it was you and I
Who said that we must part, uh huh
And the time has
Come to say goodbye
So why do you cry, sweetheart
Hey, hey, baby, don't you cry
Because I'm interfering
You ought to be satisfied
You know I'm gonna keep on caring
Why should you feel blue
I'll tell you, I'm gonna
Be the one to lose
Baby, baby, don't you cry
Whoa, baby, don't you cry
Because of any hearing
You ought to be satisfied because
I'm gonna keep on caring
Why should you feel blue
You know I'll be the one to lose

A fool am I
A fool am I in love
A tear fell when I saw you
In the arms of someone new
A tear fell when you left me
All alone and feeling blue
A tear fell when you told me
That your love was not for me
I didn't miss the teardrops
But I missed you constantly
A fool am I
A fool am I in love
The teardrops that you stepped on
As you danced across the floor
Were crushed like my poor heart was
When you walked out of my door
A tear fell when you told me
That the flame in your heart died
Darlin' have I lost you
Like these teardrops from my eyes
A fool am I
A fool am I in love
A fool am I

Georgia
Georgia
the whole day through.
Just an old sweet song
keeps Georgia on my mind.
Talkin' 'bout Georgia
I'm in Georgia.
A song of you comes as sweet and clear
as moon light through the pines.
Other arms reach out to me.
Other eyes smile tenderly.
Still in peaceful dreams I see
the road leads back to you.
Georgia
sweet Georgia
no peace I find.
Just an old sweet song
keeps Georgia on my mind.
Just an old sweet song

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart
(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)

My world is like a river as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just and endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories
Sweet memories
Sweet memories
She slipped into the silence of my dreams again last night
Wandering from room to room, she's turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to her memories
Chorus

When the sun goes down, the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout
Hey, hey uncle Dud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
What a dance do they do
Lordy, how I'm tellin' you
They don't need no band
They keep time by clapping their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
Lordy, how they play it
Goodness, how they sway it
Uncle Joe, uncle Jim
How they pound that mire with vigor and vim
Joy it nearly kill me
Boy, that music trills me
What a show when they go

Featuring: Diana Krall
You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello"
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
Well, you don't know me no
No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you each night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
No you don't know me
I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you, yeah
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Goodbye"
And I watched you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
No you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so
No you don't know me
But I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
I'm afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Goodbye"
And I watched you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so
No you don't know me
I say you never ever know
The one who loved you so
No you don't know me

Wella, oh yeah
Wella, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Do you know that this little girl of mine?
I want you people to know
This little girl of mine
I take her everywhere I go
One day I looked at my suit
the suit was new
I looked at my shoes
And they were too
And that's why I, I, I, I
Oh, I love that little girl of mine
Oh do you know that this little girl of mine?
Makes me happy when I'm sad
This little girl of mine
Loves me, even when I'm bad
She knows how to love me
Right down to her teeth
If she does any wrong
You know she keeps it from me
And that's why I, I, I, I
Oh, I love that little girl of mine
Do you know that this little girl of mine?
Called me last night about eight
This little girl of mine
Told me that we had a date
She said that she'd meet me
At a quarter to nine
Believe it or not
But she was right on time
And that's why I, I, I, I,
Oh, I love that little girl of mine
Do you know that this little girl of mine?
Knows how to dress so neat
This little girl of mine
Stops the traffic on the street
When the fellas start whistling
Well, I don't mind
I can't blame them
Because she is fine
And that's why I, I, I, I
Oh, I love that little girl of mine
And that's why I, I, I, I

Up in the mornin', out on the job
I work like the devil for my pay
I know that lucky old sun
Has nothin' to do
But to roll around heaven all day
I fuss with my woman and I toy with my kids
I sweat til I'm wrinkled and gray
I know that lucky old sun
Has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Yea, Lord above don't you see I'm pinin'
I got tears all in my eyes
Why don't you send down that cloud
With the silver linin'
Lift me up to paradise.
Show me that river
Why don't you take me across
And wash all my troubles away
I know that lucky old sun
He's got nothin' to do
But just roll around heaven all day.
Send down that cloud
With the silver linin'
Lift me up to paradise
Show me that river
And take me across
Wash all my troubles away
And I know the lucky old sun
He's got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Yes sir, he got nothin'
But roll around heaven all day.
I say he just roll around heaven all day.
Now you say it...
(with chorus)
Roll around heaven all day.

(William "Billy" Osborne)
As I sit around, watchin' the rain come down
It puts me in the mood
It reminds me of, the first time I met you, girl
And I hear the rain on the windowpane
And it brings back memories
Of the love we made
And the things that we used to do
Yes, and I recall the thrill of it all
When the heat had just begun
Everything was fine, nothing never did go wrong
Chorus:
We had a strong love affair, strong love affair, baby
From the very start
We had a strong love affair, strong love affair, baby
Then you broke my heart
I didn't know what to do
After lovin' you
And I couldn't get a real good start
We had a strong love affair, strong love affair, baby
And I' m still missing you a lot
So when I hear rain, it just brings back pain
You gave the best love I ever had
It's a doggone shame, 'cause it sure felt good to me
Sometimes I wonder, where did you disappear to
How did you get away, baby
And I often think of you
Do you ever think of me, baby
Sometimes love don't work, the way you think it should
When your love jones comes on down, baby
But baby I still care and I think that I always will
Chorus:
We had a strong love affair, strong love affair, baby
From the very start
We had a strong love affair, strong love affair, baby
Then you broke my heart
I didn't know how to act
After your bags were packed
And I couldn't get a real good start
We had a strong love affair, strong love affair, baby
And I'm still lovin' you a lot, oh well

In the heat of the night
Seems like a cold sweat
Creeping cross my brow, yeah
In the heat of the night
I'm a feelin' motherless somehow
Stars with evil eyes stare from the sky
All mean and bright
(In the heat of the night)
Ain't a woman here before
Knows how to make the morning come
It's so hard to keep control
When I could sell my soul, oh, for just a little light
(In the heat of the night)
In the heat of the night
I've got trouble wall to wall, oh yes I have
An' I repeat, oh, I repeat in the night
Must be an ending to us all
Oh Lord, it won't be long
Just you be strong
And it'll be all right
(In the heat of the night)

Pick me a town in any clime
Where people like a rockin' time
And stay awake both day and night
Till everybody's feelin' good an' right
Then throw me smack dab in the middle
I wanna be smack dab in the middle
Ah, smack dab in the middle, boys now
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul
Ten Cadillacs, a diamond mill
Ten suits of clothes to dress to kill
A ten room house, some BBQ
And fifty chicks, not over twenty-two
Then throw me smack dab in the middle
Oh I wanna be smack dab in the middle, ah now boys
You can see why I wanna be smack dab in the middle now
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul
One hundred beds with chorus girls
A street that's paved with natural pearls
A wagon load of bonds and stocks
Then open up the door at Fort Knox
Then throw me smack dab in the middle
I wanna be smack dab in the middle, ah now listen boys
Throw me smack dab in the middle right now
So Ray can rock and roll to satisfy his soul, that's all right
A lot of bread and gangs of meat
Oodles of butter and somethin' sweet
Gallons of coffee to wash it down
Bi-carbonated soda by the pound
Then throw me smack dab in the middle
I picture it, smack dab in the middle
Ah, throw me now, smack dab in the middle right now

He looked down into her brown eyes
And said "Say a prayer for me"
She threw her arms around him
Whispered "God will keep us free"
They could hear the riders comin'
He said "This is my last fight
If they take me back to Texas
They won't take me back alive"
There were seven Spanish Angels
At the altar of the sun
They were prayin' for the lovers
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish Angels
Took another Angel home
She reached down and picked the gun up
That lay smokin' in his hand
She said, "Father please forgive me
I can't make it without my man"
And she knew the gun was empty
And she knew she couldn't win
But her final prayer was answered
When the rifles fired again
There were seven Spanish Angels
At the altar of the sun
They were prayin' for the lovers
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish Angels
Took another Angel home
There were seven Spanish Angels
At the altar of the sun
They were prayin' for the lovers
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
Seven Spanish Angels
Took another Angel home
All right, y'all help me now
There were seven Spanish Angels
At the altar of the sun
They were prayin' for the lovers
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish Angels

(Ronnie Bird / Pierre Papadiamadis)
Say no more
I think you'll never understand
I have refused the same demand
All my life !
Say no more
In my book there can be no blame
When you pretend I have no shame
You're half right !
All along
You kept trying to pin me down
Turn me into your house clown ...
If I don't fit the bill ...
All the same
I loved you then
I love you still !
Chorus:
Want to know the truth ?
I caught a nasty bug
And when it got ahold of me
I could not shake it free !
A lasting blue note
Has been haunting me !
It's like an old mistress
Forever chasing me ...
But say no more
I may not be an easy man
But the way you played your hand
I couldn't stand !
It's too bad
There is much more we could have done !
But now those days are dead and gone
Nothing lasts !
All along
You made me feel this useless guilt
Can you look back on what we built ?
I wonder what you saw in me ...
Tell me was it real ?
Was it love ?
You tell me ...
Chorus
And though you think of it
As the cause of my fall !

Well, have you ever woke up in the morning sometimes
Just about the break of day
Well, have you ever woke up in the morning sometimes
Just about the break of day
Reach over and feel the pillow, baby
Where your sweet man used to lay
Well baby, it's so lonesome by myself
Well, it's so lonesome, baby, just sleeping all by myself
Well, I don't want nobody but my baby
Shouting, my baby's loving somebody else
Oh baby, won't you please hear my plea?
Hallelujah, I said, oh, oh baby, won't you please hear my plea?
Well, wherever you may be, darling

One early morning as I was walking
I met a woman, we started talking
I took her home to get a few nips
But all I had was a mint julep
I don?t remember just how I started
I only know that we should have parted
I stole a kiss and then another
I didn?t mean to take it further
One mint julep was the cause of it all
The lights were burning low, there in the parlor
When through the kitchen door up popped her father
He said, ?I saw you when you kissed my daughter
Better wed her right now, or face a slaughter?
I didn?t know just what I was doing, I had to marry or face ruin
A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep, a mint julep
One mint julep was the cause of it all
Now, I don?t want to bore you with my troubles
But from now on I?ll be thinking double
I?m through with flirting and drinking whiskey
I got six extra children from a-getting frisky
A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep, a mint julep

My little girl wouldn't say I do
Well, I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
Because I live on a lonely avenue
Lonely avenue

And my pillow it feels like stone
Well, I've tossed and turned so every night

My little girl wouldn't say I do
Well, I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
Because I live on a lonely avenue
Lonely avenue
Lonely avenue
Lonely avenue
Now I've been so sad and lonesome
Since you've left this town
You know if I could beg or borrow the money
Child, I would be a highway bound
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say I do
Well, I feel so sad and blue
You know its all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue

You know, there's no one to dry my weapin' eyes
(It's alright)
Baby, I'm so in love with you now
(It's alright)
And yet you broke my heart in two
Although you've gone away
There's nothin' I can say but, "It's alright"
(It's alright)
Baby, how could you be so mean?
(It's alright)
You know sometimes I feel like I wanna scream
(It's alright)
Every time I hear someone call your name now

You took my love and gone
And you know that we're wrong
But it's alright
(It's alright)
I wanted to keep on saying sure and
(It's alright)
You know someday you'll need these arms of mine
(It's alright)
I said, "It make take a long long time"
(It's alright)
And when things ain't what they used to be now
(It's alright)
You can bring your fine self home to me
To prove my love is true
I'll hug and kiss you too
And I'll say, "It's alright"

If I could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes, I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow, so I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I could never cry your tears
But I would If I could
Yes, if I live
In a time and place where you don't want to be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won't have to be your way
If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn't very much that I could do
But I would If I could
Oh baby, daddy wants to protect you
And help my baby through the hungriest
'Cause your part of me and if you ever ever need
Said a shoulder to cry on or just someone to talk to
I'll be there, I'll be there
I didn't change your world
But I would if I could

I wake up crying after tossin' and turnin'
And a yearnin' the whole night long
Pretty baby oh, my love since you went away
Haven't spent a happy day
I wake up crying after sobbin' and sighin'
And a wonderin' just what went wrong
Pretty baby well I know I was good to you
Why'd you go and make me blue
I need your arms to hold me tight now
I need your lips to kiss me goodnight
I'm so unhappy on my own
Don't don't leave me sad and lonely
(Oh, now, now, now, well, well, well, now baby)
I tell you I wake up crying after tossin' and turnin'
And a yearnin' the whole night long
Pretty baby, why don't you please come back to me
And save me from this misery I want you to save me
Ah save me baby

Well, well, I got a feeling'
(I had a dream)
Things ain?t goin? right

(I had a dream)
Won?t you say it was a dream

How long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?
It's been gone since that blood red sun went down
Thought I heard a whistle and I think I see a train
Deep in my heart there is an aching pain
Said how long, how long, baby how long?
Well look down them tracks and feeling so bad
Lost the best woman that a poor man ever had
How long, well how long baby, how long?
Well how long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?
It's been gone since that blood red sun went down
How long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood)
(you ain't got no money you just ain't no good.)
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Ohh, I was lyin' in the bed with fever
And I was burnin' up inside
My baby walked in my bedroom
And I could hardly open my eyes
She said that she was goin' to the pawnshop
Just across the track
She started packin' some clothes in a hurry
And then she said she would be right back
But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since she went away
I remember so well when she slammed the door
But the girl didn't make it back no more
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day
Well, I waited for twenty four hours and I was just about to starve to death
It didn't look like she was comin' back, so I had to look out for myself
Well, I called the police department to find out what they knew
They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet"
Because they was lookin' for her too
But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since she went away
Well, I don't know what happened across the track
But I know my baby didn't make it back
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day
Well, I called my Dr. Foster and when the girl answered the phone
I got a funny feeling, the way she said 'Dr. Foster had gone'
She said, "He left with a lady patient, about twenty four hours ago"
I added two and two and here's what I got
I got I'll never see that girl no more
Well, I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah
But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since she went away
If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through
Because he's got medicine and money too

In old Savannah, I said Savannah
The weather there is nice and warm
The climate's of a Southern brand
But here's what I don't understand
They got a gal there, a pretty gal there
Who's colder than an arctic storm
Got a heart just like a stone
Even ice men leave her alone
They call her hard hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah, the meanest gal in town
Leather is tough but Hannah's heart is tougher
She's a gal who loves to see men suffer
To tease them and thrill them, to torture and kill them
Is her delight, they say, I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
There was Hannah, pouring water on a drowning man
She's hard hearted Hannah, the Vamp of Savannah, GA
They call her hard-hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah, the meanest gal in town
Talk of your cold, refrigerating mamas
Brother, she's the polar bear's pajamas
To tease them and thrill them, to torture and kill them
Is her delight, they say an evening spent with Hannah sitting on your knees is like traveling through Alaska in your BVD's
She's hard-hearted Hannah, the Vamp of Savannah, GA
Can you imagine a woman as cold as Hannah?
She's got the right name, the Vamp of Savannah
Anytime a woman can take a great big pan
Start pouring water on a drowning man
She's hard-hearted Hannah, the Vamp of Savannah, GA

I look at all the lonely people
I look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been, lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door, who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon
That no one will hear, no one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night
When there's nobody there, what does he care?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Eleanor Rigby died in the church
And was buried along with her name, nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the grave, no one was saved
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?

Whoa, I'm so lonesome baby, now
I am in a travelin' mood, yes I am
Whoa, I'm so lonesome now, now, honey
I tell ya I am in a travelin' mood, um, hmm
Guess I'll have to hop a freight to California
'Cause I've got the travelin' blues, yes I have
Sometime I feel like walkin', now, now
Well I have no walkin' shoes, no, no
Well, sometime I feel like walkin', now, now
I tell you I got no walkin' shoes, do you believe me
That's why I've got to hop a freight to California
'Cause I've got the travelin' blues, um, hmm
'Cause I keep drifting and drifting like a ship out on the sea
I keep drifting and drifting, now like a ship out on the sea, well
You see I ain't got no, nobody in this world to care for me
If my baby, if my baby would only take me back again
Oh now if my baby now uh, would only take me back again
Well I may not be good for nothing, baby
But you see I haven't got no friends
Play it, son
I'll give you all my money, now
Tell me what more can I do, I wanna know
(Just give some more, just give some more)
(Just give some more)
I'll give you all my money, little girl
Tell me what more can I do, I've got to know
(just give some more, just give some more)
(Just give some more)
Well, you may be a good little girl sometime
But you just won't be true
Bye, bye baby, now
Baby, bye, bye, bye, bye
(Bye baby, bye, bye baby)
Bye, bye baby, now
Baby, bye, bye, bye, bye
(Bye baby, bye, bye baby)
Well, it's too late to worry
I want you to know
I said, oh, it's too late to cry

Don't set me free
And leave me all alone
Don't make me be
Just a rolling stone
Lock me up and throw the key away
Make me a prisoner night and day
And whatever you do to me
Don't set me free
Don't set me free
On my knees I pray
Have mercy on me
Don't send me away
Like a train jumpin off a track
Without ya baby, I'd blow my stack
And whatever you do to me
Don't set me free
Like a stamp on a letter, if you let me stick with you
I could love you better, than anyone else can do
So don't set me free
Though I've done you wrong
Baby can't you see
Without you I can't get along
Keep me in a state of agony
Make me miserable as can be
And whatever you do to me
Don't set me free
Like a stamp on a letter, if you let me stick with you
I could love you better, than anyone else can do
So don't set me free
Though I've done you wrong
Baby can't you see
Without you I can't get along
Keep me in a state of agony
Make me miserable as can be
And whatever you do to me
Don't set me free
No, no, no, don't set me free
I'm saying no, no don't set me free

We put on Ray Charles and broke up
You were packed and gone when I woke up
Ray just kept on singing, he had Georgia on his mind
You just keep on leaving, you keep leaving all the time
Wonder if the stars will die tonight
Yeah I wonder if the cats and dogs are gonna fight
There's no rest for the restless, so I doubt that you'll sleep well
I don't think that I will, my head's ringing like a bell
Love is blind and I don't blame her
'Cause lately I ain't been too much to see
I'd bring some girl home but then I'd have to pay her
Won't you come home with me Rosemary?
When I walked in the bar you tried to hide
But I took my old place right by your side
You looked like a raccoon with those circles round your eyes
If my offer is improper, please come home with me tonight
Well, I'll prick myself and see if blood comes out
I'll play until the whole damn tape runs out
I'll put on that Ray Charles record, if you'll make some drinks
Nothing is the matter, it don't matter what you think
Love is blind and I don't blame her
'Cause we all could use a little sympathy
I'd bring some girl home but then I'd have to pay her
Won't you come home with me Rosemary?
Love is blind and I don't blame her
'Cause lately I ain't been too much to see
I'd bring some girl home but then I'd have to pay her

[Chorus]
I'm on my Ray Charles,
I can't see you niggas
Got on my Ray Bans,
I can't see you niggas
I feel like Stevie Wonder,
I can't see you niggas
Bitch I'm top dog,
I don't see these bitches
[Verse 1]
Gettin to the cash,

and she checking my insulin,
pockets on diabetic
Smoking medical from cali,

pimpin up in modern day,

and you know I'm taking all their brain-

how it feels to be a boss-

and they gettin that small money,
tall money's the motive,
man fuck that,
all money's the motive,
say they gettin all money?
that's a motherfucking lie,
cause I can't see them niggas,
they blind to my eyes (lets go).
[Chorus]
I'm on my Ray Charles,
I can't see you niggas
Got on my Ray Bans,
I can't see you niggas
I feel like Stevie Wonder,
I can't see you niggas
Bitch I'm top dog,
