My Home's In Alabama Composer(s): Theodore Gentry; Randy Owen Performer(s): Alabama
Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night
Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away to some other guitar picker in some other late night place
Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away took my songs and dreams to Nashville and then on to L.A. Up to New York City, all across the USA I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say (that my)
..home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred
What keeps me goin'? I don't really know can't be the money the Lord knows I'm always broke could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood when the people really love ya and let you know when it's good
Well I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
My Home Town Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
I really have a yen to go back once again Back to that place where noone wears a frown To see once more those super special folks in my home town No feller could ignore the little next door she sure looked sweet in here first evening gown Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free in my home town
I remember Dan the druggist on the corner he was never mean or ornery he was swell He killed his mother in law and ground her up real well And sprinkled just a little bit over each banana split
The guy that taught us math and never took a bath acquired a certain measure of renown And after school he sold the most amazing pictures in my home town
The fellow was no fool who taught our Sunday school and neither was our kindly Parson Brown I guess I'd better leave the next line out just to be safe in my home town
I remember Sam he was the village idiot and though it seemed a pity it was so He loved to burn down house just to see the glow And nothing could be done because he was the mayor's son That guy who took a knife and monogrammed his wife and dropped her in the pond and watched her down Oh yes indeed those people there are just plain folks in my home town

Laura ja Ilmari styylas ja Ilmari lahjoitti Lauralleen kukkaa, sukkaa, vaan rahnat ei riittäneet sormukseen!
Hän oli lähdössä viis satasten hän tiesi: tonnin saa voittaja sen ja varikolta soitti hän Lauralleen ja toisti tunteensa uudelleen ja uudelleen
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan niin kauheesti kaipaan! Jos tänään en voitakaan niin huomenna taas sun olla saan!"
Hän johti kierroksen ensimmäisen hän oli nuorin kai kilpailun sen Vain ohimennen vilkaisi katsomoon päin ja koneen hallinnan menetti hän yllättäin!
Ei kukaan nähnyt, miten tapahtui tuo Pian paarit kannettiin Ilmarin luo Vain hetken hän oli vielä tajuissaan mut ohut kuiskaus kuului vielä huuliltaan
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan niin kauheesti kaipaan! Ei kuole mun rakkautein ei milloinkaan - et surra saa!"
Jäi Laura istumaan kappeliin silmät peittyivät kyyneliin... Hän muiti Ilmarin lupauksen vain kappelin seinät kuiskas hiljasen
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan niin kauheesti kaipaan! Ei kuole mun rakkautein ei milloinkaan - et surra saa!"
My Home Town Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
I took a little trip to my hometown I only stopped to look around And as I walked along the thorough-fare There was music playing everywhere The music came from within my heart How did it happen how did it start I only know that I fell in love I guess the answer lies up above
Oh what a feeling My heart was reeling The bells were ringing The birds were singing
And so the music keep goes on and on And through the night until the break of dawn I hear a bird up in the tree He sings a pretty little melody
Oh what a feeling My heart was reeling The bells were ringing The birds were singing
And so the music keep goes on and on And through the night until the break of dawn I hear a bird up in the tree He sings a pretty little melody
Goodnight My Love Composer(s): Harry Revel; Mack Gordon Performer(s): Shirley Temple & Alice Faye; and various other artists
Shirley: Goodnight, my love Your Mommy is kneeling beside you Goodnight, my love To dreamland the Sandman will guide you Come now you sleepy head Close your eyes, go to bed My precious sleepy head You mustn't play peek-a-boo
Goodnight, my love Your little Dutch dolly is yawning Goodnight my love Your teddy bear's called it a day Your dog is fast asleep, my but he's smart Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love God bless you, pleasant dreams sweetheart
Alice: Goodnight, my love The tired old moon is descending Goodnight, my love My moment with you now is ending It was so heavenly, holding you close to me It will be heavenly To hold you again in a dream
The stars above Have promised to meet us tomorrow Till then my love How dreary the new day will seem So for the present, dear, we'll have to part Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love Remember that your mine, sweetheart

Viens, mon ami le geôlier À toi, je vais tout raconter Demain très tôt, au petit jour J'aurai mon tour, j'aurai mon tour Et je dirai adieu à la vie Pour lui payer bien des folies Si par hasard tu la vois Va saluer Laura pour moi
Dis-lui que je l'aime D'un amour trop grand pour son coeur Et que je pars sans un pleur Dis-lui tout cela, dis-le-lui pour moi
Laura bravait le monde entier Pour ses désirs d'enfant gâtée Ses yeux, son corps au long des jours Chantaient l'amour, chantaient l'amour Je l'ai tenue dans mes bras, serrée Pour la garder j'ai tout renié Et quand Laura m'a trahi Notre roman s'est mal fini
Dis-lui que je l'aime D'un amour plus fort que la mort Et pour chasser ses remords Dis-lui tout cela Dis-le-lui pour moi
Pour moi, Laura était trop jolie Un soir, j'ai tué par jalousie Et je pourrais, sans regret Pour un baiser, recommencer
Dis-lui que je l'aime Qu'il lui faut oublier mon nom Et m'accorder son pardon Dis-lui tout cela, dis-le-lui pour moi
My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys Composer(s): Sharon Rice; Sharon Vaughn Performer(s): Willie Nelson and various other artists
I grew up a dreaming of being a cowboy And loving the cowboy ways
Pursuing the life of my high-riding heroes I burned up my childhood days I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter Dontcha hold on to nothing too long Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them With the words of a sad country song
My heroes have always been cowboys They still are it seems Sadly in search of and one step in back of Themselves and their slow-moging dreams
Cowboys are special, with their own brand of misery From being alone too long To die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare Knowing well that your best days are gone And picking up hookers instead of my pen I let the words of my youth fade away Old worn out saddles, and old worn out memories With no one, and no place to stay
My heroes have always been cowboys They still are it seems Sadly in search of and one step in back of Themselves and their slow-moging dreams
Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, Wherever You Are Composer(s): E.Y. "Yip" Harburg Performer(s): Sammy Fain
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are Are you waving at me from your favourite star The star that you wished on when once we were young For dreams to be dreams and songs to be sung
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, I blow you a kiss Till we meet and we laugh and perhaps reminisce And finally, Im sure that we will know the mystery of The unfinished song that will go on As long as theres love
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, I blow you a kiss Till we meet and we laugh and perhaps reminisce Then finally, Im sure that we will know the mystery of The dreams and the song that will go on As long as theres love

L'amour parfois se flétrit et s'endort Mais de ses cendres peut renaître encore Un bonheur oublié qu'il tenait tant à lui donner Sur sa guitare, il a composé Une chanson où il lui disait Son espoir de la retrouver Et cette histoire, à tous, il l'a chantée
Dites-lui que je l'aime Mais que je dois partir Un jour, je reviendrai Et ce jour, je pourrai encore l'aimer
Depuis ce jour, la chance lui sourit De par le monde, chacun l'applaudit Mais dans sa vie, plus rien ne comptait Car c'est toujours à elle qu'il pensait Roulant trop vite vers elle, dans la nuit Dans un tournant, le destin le surprit Et quand à l'aube on le retrouva Jusqu'au dernier mot, à tous, il murmura
Dites-lui que je l'aime Cachez-lui que je souffre Un jour, je reviendrai Et ce jour, je pourrai encore l'aimer
Aujourd'hui, elle est seule Mais elle ne peut l'oublier Car sa voix est toujours là Et, par ce disque, toujours il lui dira
Dites-lui que je l'aime Mais que je dois partir Un jour, je reviendrai Et ce jour, je pourrai Encore l'aimer

Come, come I love you only My heart is true Come, come my life is lonely I long for you Come, come naught can efface you My arms are aching now to embrace you Thou art divine Come, come I love you only Come hero mine
Tell It To The Rain Composer(s): Anthony Cifelli - Mike Petrillo Performer(s): Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons
You're crying now just like I used to cry before (rain, rain, rain) Turn off the tears, girl I don't care any more You can save all your lies, 'cause I've heard them all before Tell it to the rain And the stars that shine above That it's me you're thinking of And that I'm your only love Tell it to the rain
I gave you love, girl, and got nothing in return How does it feel to feel what I had to learn? Baby, don't say you're sorry, 'cause I'm just not concerned Tell it to the rain And the stars that shine above That it's me you're thinking of And that I'm your only love Tell it to the rain
Tell it to the rain And the stars that shine above That it's me you're thinking of Oh, forget it, love Tell it to the rain
Tell it to the rain And the stars that shine above That it's me you're thinking of And that I'm your only love Tell it to the rain
Goodnight Saigon Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel; Michael Cavanaugh
We met as soul mates On Parris Island We left as inmates From an asylum And we were sharp As sharp as knives And we were so gung ho To lay down our lives
We came in spastic Like tameless horses We left in plastic As numbered corpses And we learned fast To travel light Our arms were heavy But our bellies were tight
We had no home front We had no soft soap They sent us Playboy They gave us Bob Hope We dug in deep And shot on sight And prayed to Jesus Christ With all our might
We had no cameras To shoot the landscape We passed the hash pipe And played our Doors tapes And it was dark So dark at night And we held on to each other Like brother to brother We promised our mothers we'd write
And we would all go down together We said we'd all go down together
Remember Charlie Remember Baker They left their childhood On every acre And who was wrong? And who was right? It didn't matter in the thick of the fight
We held the day In the palm Of our hand
They ruled the night And the night Seemed to last as long as six weeks On Parris Island We held the coastline They held the highlands And they were sharp As sharp as knives They heard the hum of our motors They counted the rotors And waited for us to arrive
And we would all go down together We said we'd all go down together Yes we would all go down together
Tell It On The Mountain ((French Version: Viens Sur La Montagne (Marie Laforêt)) Composer(s): Milton Okun - Noel Paul Stookey - Mary Travers - Peter Yarrow Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary
Who's that yonder dressed in white Let my people go Must be the people of the Israelites Let my people go
Go tell it on the mountain Over the hill and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain Our Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain Over the hill and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain Our Jesus Christ is born
Who's that yonder dressed in red Let my people go Must be the people that Moses led Let my people go
Go tell it on the mountain Over the hill and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain Our Jesus Christ is born
Who's that yonder dressed in black Let my people go Must be the hypocrites turning back Let my people go
Go tell it on the mountain Over the hill and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain Our Jesus Christ is born
My Heart To You Composer(s): Don Williams Performer(s): Don Williams
You give to me what life should be for everyone You're my pepper, you're my salt, my favorite tea You're my sunset on the ocean, my desert dawn So much of you is now a part of me
I know a greater power must have noticed me And decided I would meet someone like you No-one on this planet thought we could ever be Till He gave my heart to you, and yours to me
You've given us our children and a recipe For you and I, love comes naturally My love is somehow different than I'd have it be An' it's workin' on my heart, not into me
So I know a greater power must have noticed me And decided I would meet someone like you No-one on this planet thought we could ever be Till He gave my heart to you, and yours to me
Goodnight Pillow Composer(s): Matt Dennis Performer(s): Jo Stafford
Goodnight pillow don't blame me if I sigh For tonight he said goodbye What would you do if you were I Goodnight pillow what did I say or do Oh I've never been this blue My broken heart is so new All our carefree sundays are through And the million and one things we do The lovely nights that we knew Will he miss them too Now please pillow while moonlight softly beams Take me to him in my dreams Goodnight pillow Now please pillow while moonlight softly beams Take me to him in my dreams Goodnight pillow goodnight
