Mary From The Dairy Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Miller; Walsh Performer(s): Max Miller
I fell in love with Mary from the dairy But Mary wouldn't fall in love with me Down by an old mill stream We both sat down to dream Little did she know that I was thinking up a scheme
She said, 'Let's pick some buttercups and daisies' But those buttercups were full of margarine She slipped and we both Down by a wishing well In the same place where I fell for Nellie Dean
I fell in love with Mary from the Dairy But Mary wouldn't fall in love with me Down by an old mill stream We both sat down to dream That was when I offered her my strawberries and cream
We walked and talked together in the moonlight She asked me what I knew of farmery I said, 'Mary, I'm no fool You can't milk Barney's Bull' That's when Mary from the dairy fell for me
Little did she know that I was thinking up a scheme The wife she says that she is going to leave me The moment that she does then I am free There's a little girl I know I'll take her and I'll show Where Mary from the Dairy fell for me
Ojitos Gitanos Composer(s): Roberto Zafra Performer(s): Javier Solis
Como una reina gitana como un terrible malfario así llegaste a mi vida con esos ojos tan lindos con esos ojos tan lindos que van a ser mi calvario
¡Ay! la, ra, la, la, la, ra, ra, se va cantando la luna ¡ay! la, ra, la, la, ra, ra, ra, como tu cara ninguna Tus ojitos gitanillos que relumbran cual luceros si me miran vida mía te lo juro que me muero
Como si fuera un desierto caminaba por la vida pero una noche de luna se encendieron dos luceros y eran tus ojos mi vida como caídos del cielo
¡Ay! la, ra, la, la, la, ra, ra, se va cantando la luna ¡ay! la, ra, la, la, ra, ra, ra, como tu cara ninguna Tus ojitos gitanillos que relumbran cual luceros si me miran vida mía te lo juro que me muero
¡Ay! la, ra, la, la, la, ra, ra, ¡qué contenta va la luna!
Mary Dear (aka "I'll Be There, Mary Dear" or "Goodbye, Mary Dear") Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling; Harry Von Tilzer Performer(s): Gene Autry and various other artists
"Goodbye, Mary I must go" Said a lad, "Now don't grieve so For it's duty calls me far across the sea" "Take this autumn leaf of gold" Said the maid, "'Twill ne'er grow old Always wear it next to your heart and think of me"
"Meet me yonder down the lane When I come back home again 'Neath the tree where this golden leaf once grew Kiss me, Mary, then we'll part" Said the lad with a broken heart "When the leaves begin to fall, I'll be with you"
"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there When the fragrance of the roses fills the air 'Neath that old tree grand and tall When the leaves begin to fall I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"
See the lad with empty sleeve Of his comrades taking leave They were home again, the transport had come back "If she loved you long ago, She won't love you less, I know But one arm will do to hold her to you, Jack"
It was autumn time again As he wandered down the lane There beneath that old oak tree he found a grave So he knelt in silent prayer For the one he loved slept there As the tears fell on the golden leaf she gave
"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there When the fragrance of the roses fills the air 'Neath that old tree grand and tall When the leaves begin to fall I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"
Ojitos De Ombligo Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Pequeño habitante en la barriga grande de mamá que llegas Octubre rompiendo las costumbres nacerás la primavera por dentro llegó Afuera los que esperan somos dos el árbol quiere una flor
Asómate al ombligo pequeño duendecito, para ver que viene por el cielo un cometa viajero, para ser testigo del primer diente en Abril esquivo profesor de volantín le pongo un hilo, y es para ti
Usted allá adentro y más afuera esta espera para dos salga contento y mame teta comprometa su pequeño corazón
Pequeño habitante en la barriga grande de mamá que vienes a la tierra acá donde América se va.. asoma tus ojitos para el mar Valparaíso espera más allá en un saltito vienes y vas
Asómate al ombligo provócale un suspiro a mi canción que canten los zorzales debajo de los Andes nació el sol la primavera por dentro llegó afuera los que esperan somos dos el árbol pintó una flor
Usted allá adentro y más afuera esta espera para dos salga contento y mame teta comprometa su pequeño corazón
Ojalá Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; and various other artists
Ojalá que las hojas
no te toquen el cuerpo cuando caigan para que no las puedas convertir en cristal Ojalá que la lluvia deje de ser milagro que baja por tu cuerpo Ojalá que la luna pueda salir sin tí Ojalá que la tierra no te bese los pasos
Ojalá se te acabé la mirada constante la palabra precisa, la sonrisa perfecta Ojalá pase algo que te borre de pronto una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve Ojalá por lo menos que me lleve la muerte para no verte tanto, para no verte siempre en todos los segundos, en todas las visiones ojalá que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones
Ojalá que la aurora no dé gritos que caigan en mi espalda Ojalá que tu nombre se le olvide a esa voz Ojalá las paredes no retengan tu ruido de camino cansado Ojalá que el deseo se vaya tras de tí a tu viejo gobierno de difuntos y flores
Mary Ann Regrets Composer(s): Harlan Howard Performer(s): Burl Ives and various other artists
I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours Then today in the mail I received this short little note And I broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their plan Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann
The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then In the papers I read of the far away places she's been I can't eat, I can't sleep for over and over again My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann
My Mary Ann died, they said she just wasted away If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann
Oh-Oh, I'm Falling In Love Again Composer(s): Al Hoffman; Dick Manning; Mark Markwell Performer(s): Jimmie F. Rodgers; Eddy Arnold; Marion Ryan
Uh-oh, I'm falling in love again, uh-oh...
Many's the time I've been two-timed Many's the time I've been stung Many a honey took all of my money, but That was when I was much younger
Made up my mind to be careful Made up my mind to beware I was alright until until Saturday night I met a girl with the goldenest hair
Chorus: Uh-oh, I'm falling in love again, uh-oh I thought I'd never get caught again Never in a hundred, never in a thousand Never in a million years Never in a million years
She had the bluest of blue eyes She had the cherriest lips Shouldn't have have kissed her I tried to resist her but One kiss, and I was a goner
I couldn't run if I'd wanted I couldn't run if I tried Saw what I liked And I liked what I saw And my heart went along for the ride
(Chorus)
That was the end of my roamin' Now that it's over, I'm glad Through gallavantin' I got in a slam and I'm Uh-oh, I'm a ring-a-ding daddy
Rockin' the cradle at nighttime Livin' and lovin' each day Got me a wife She's the light of my life And when I kiss her each morning I say
(Chorus)
Never in a hundred, never in a thousand Never in a million years Never in a million years Uh-oh, uh-oh...
Mary (What Are You Waiting For?) Composer(s): Walter Donaldson Performer(s): Bing Crosby and various other artists
What are you waiting for What are you waiting for, Mary? What are you thinking 'bout Who are you thinking 'bout, Mary? The bees are buzzing, they're buzzing right in my ear And they keep on asking "Hey, what's the big idea?"
Think of the moon above Doesn't it speak of love, Mary? Why do you lead me on Why do you be so contrary? You wouldn't let my castle come tum-tum-tumbling down Think of the things in store What are you waiting for, Mary?
Ohio Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein; Betty Comden; Adolph Green Performer(s): Doris Day
Why oh why oh why oh Why did I ever leave Ohio? Why did I wander to find what lies yonder? Life was so cosy at home Wondrin why I wander Why did I fly, why did I roam? Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio? Maybe Id better go O-H-I-O Maybe Id better go home
Why did I wonder To find what lies yonder? Life was so cosy at home Wondrin why I wander Why did I fly, why did I roam? Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio? Maybe Id better go O-H-I-O Maybe Id better go home
Mary Composer(s): George M. Cohan Performer(s): James Cagney
My mother's name was Mary She was so good and true Because her name was Mary She called me Mary, too She wasn't gay or airy But plain as she could be I'd hate to meet a Mar-y Who called herself Ma-ry For it is Mar-y, Mar-y Plain as any name can be But with propriety Society will say Ma-ry! But it was Mar-y! Mar-y! Long before the fashions came And there is something there That sounds so square It's a grand old name
Ohio Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming Four dead in Ohio
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down Should have been down long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground How can you run when you know?
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down Should have been down long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground How can you run when you know
Martine, Martine Auprès de notre enfant je t'imagine Tu peux te rechauffer à son soleil Vous pouvez profiter tous deux du ciel
Martine, Martine Ce matin ton image se dessine Comme un rayon d'espoir dans ma prison Pourtant le temps est long Martine, Martine, je t'aime Martine, Martine pardonne moi Pardonne moi Martine
Je t'aimerai comme on n'aime plus Pour rattrapper tout le temps perdu Je t'aimerai à te délivrer Des souvenirs des amours passées
Martine, Martine Je ne suis pas de ceux qui se résignent A vivre sans soleil et sans amour Aussi vrai qu'il fait jour Martine, Martine je t'aime Martine, Martine ne m'oublie pas Ne m'oublie pas Martine
Je t'aimerai comme on n'aime plus Pour rattrapper tout le temps perdu Je t'aimerai à te délivrer Des souvenirs des amours passées
Rien ne pourra séparer nos vies Puisque l'amour les a réunies Si l'on n'a plus qu'une liberté Que ce soit celle de nous aimer

Martha Composer(s): Paul Kantner Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps, patiently She sifts the hairy air that's worn and wood-swept, pleasantly She does as she pleases, she listens for me
Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow, "Fly to me" You can dance and sing and walk with me And dreams will fade and shadows grow in weed She does as she pleases, she waits there for me She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
My love she talks to winking windows as she murmurs to her feet, thoughtly She separates in laughter to my side, caught for me She does as she pleases, she waits there for me She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock and it's waiting there for me She weeds apart through a token lock What a great thing to be free She weeps time, starts unspoken, but when the gate swings there she'll be There she'll be: in green sun, on blue earth under warm running shower
