    Ballad Of Wes Tancred
    Composer(s): Josef Myrow - Robert Wells
    Performer(s): Eddy Arnold



    Come all you good people and lend me your ear
    I got a sad story that you oughta hear
    The wind it was howlin' 'round Sam Older's shack
    The night that his killer stepped out of the black
    And shot Sam down from the rear

    Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
    A pal right down to the end
    Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
    The black-hearted, white-livered, backbitin' sidewinder
    Murdered his own best friend

    It happened on Friday the thirteenth of May
    The coroner carried Sam Older away
    If I don't know nothin'
    There's one thing's a fact
    The hole was much bigger in front than in back
    Now you don't kill a brave man that way

    Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
    A pal right down to the end
    Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
    The black-hearted, white-livered, backbitin' sidewinder
    Murdered is own best friend

    Now folks when you sleep
    Put a bolt on your door
    Wes Tancred is loose with his Colt 44
    Don't lie on your stomach when you go to bed
    'Cause he'll take a shot at the back of your head
    The way he done it before

    Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
    A pal right down to the end
    Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
    The black-hearted, white-livered, backbitin' sidewinder
    Murdered is own best friend

    Campanas De Plata
    Performer(s): Raphael



    En un borriquillo van para belen
    La virgen maria junto a san jose
    Y siendo santos señores
    Pasan frio y calores
    En un borriquillo camino tambien
    Pobre pelegrino con hambre y con sed
    Pero tu me alumbras coclilla encendida
    Estrella bonita que luce en belen

    Son con este son, son los campanilleros
    Son con este son, una ronda de amor
    Son con este son de campanas de plata
    Luminosa serenata, son con este son

    Farther Down The Line
    Composer(s): Lyle Lovett
    Performer(s): Lyle Lovett; Willie Nelson



    Let's have a hand for that young cowboy
    And wish him better luck next time
    And hope we see him up in Fargo
    Or somewhere farther down the line

    This time he sure drew a bad one
    One that nobody could ride
    But by the way he pulled his hat on
    You knew he'd be there for the fight

    Chorus:
    And it's the classic contradiction
    The unavoidable affliction
    Well it don't take much to predict son
    The way it always goes
    One day she says she loves you
    And the next she'll be tired of you
    And push will always come to shove you
    On that midnight rodeo

    He almost made it to the buzzer
    Somehow he gave up in the end
    They put one hand around the other
    And let that pickup man on in

    And it was his last chance to ride
    And now he'll have to move along
    But he knows back in his mind
    He won't be away for long

    Chorus:
    And it's the classic contradiction
    The unavoidable affliction
    Well it don't take much to predict son
    The way it always goes
    Because one day she says she loves you
    And the next she'll be tired of you
    And push will always come to shove you
    On that midnight rodeo

    So let's have a hand for that young cowboy
    And wish him better luck next time
    And hope we see him up in Fargo
    Or somewhere farther down the line

    The Ballad Of The Shape Of Things
    Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick
    Performer(s): The Kingston Trio



    Completely round is the perfect pearl
    The oyster manufactures
    Completely round is the steering wheel
    That leads to compound fractures
    Completely round is the golden fruit
    That hangs from the orange tree
    Yes, the circle shape is quite renowned
    And sad to say, it can be found
    In the low down, dirty runaround
    My true love gave to me, yes
    My true love gave to me

    Completely square is the velvet box
    He said my ring would be in
    Completely square is the envelope
    He said farewell to me in
    Completely square is the handkerchief
    I flourish constantly
    As I dry my eyes of the tears I shed
    And blow my nose that turned bright red
    Completely square is my true love's head
    He will not marry me, no, he will not marry me

    Rectangular is the hotel door
    My true love tried to sneak through
    Rectangular is the transom
    Over which I had to peek through
    Rectangular is the hotel room I entered angrily
    And rectangular is the wooden box
    Where lies my love neath the golden phlox
    They say he died from the chicken pox
    In part I must agree: one chick too many had he!

    Triangular is the piece of pie
    I eat to ease my sorrow
    Triangular is the hatchet blade
    I plan to hide tomorrow
    Triangular the relationship
    That now has ceased to be
    And triangular is the garment thin
    That fastens on with a safety pin
    To a prize I had no wish to win
    It's a lasting memory that my true love gave to me

    Yes, I'm smiling
    Everytime you pass me by
    I know you wonder, why I never cry
    But let me tell you, happiness (Happiness)
    My happiness (Happiness)
    Is just a camouflage (Camouflage)

    'Cause all my happiness (Happiness)

    Farther Along
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Elvis Presley; The Byrds




    (We'll understand it all by and by)

    Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
    Why it should be thus all the day long
    While there are others living about us
    Never molested, though in the wrong

    Farther along we'll know more about it
    Farther along we'll understand why
    Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
    We'll understand it all by and by

    When death has come and taken our loved ones
    Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
    Then do we wonder how others prosper
    Living so wicked year after year

    Farther along we'll know more about it
    Farther along we'll understand why
    Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
    We'll understand it all by and by

    Ballad Of The One Eyed Jacks
    Composer(s): Morgan
    Performer(s): Johnny Burnette



    A one-eyed Jack rode to Monterey in the heat of the blazing sun
    When Sheriff Longworth saw Kid Rio, he strapped on his fast gun
    The sheriff didn't trust the one eyed Jack nor the deadly smile he wore
    An' when that night he shamed Louisa, in vengeance the sheriff swore

    Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild
    One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile
    Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
    He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own

    Ten cracks of the sheriff's whip cut deep
    The pain-filled Rio cursed
    "You'd better kill me while you can or I will get you first"
    The angry sheriff raised his gun butt high, then smashed Rio's trigger hand
    "You're done for now, you one-eyed Jack, you will kill no other man"

    Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild
    One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile
    Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
    He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own

    The creaky iron doors slammed shut tight
    The one-eyed Jack was jailed
    With Louisa's help he soon escaped for his true love had not failed
    The horses rode off with the lovers two as the smokin' six guns burst
    The sheriff aimed his gun at the one-eyed Jack, but the one-eyed Jack shot first

    Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild
    One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile
    Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
    He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own

    Verso il sole se ne va
    Di lui il mondo che ne sà
    Io soltanto soffriro
    Sono l'ultima che amo

    Cammina, Cammina

    Che cercava non so più
    Io gli ho dato un po di più
    Il moi letto e un po di me
    Senza capire poi perchè

    Cammina, Cammina

    Mi ha lasciato le parole
    Le mie tristezze stese al sole
    Mi ha lasciato con il grano
    Ma il cuore moi è lontano

    Lui che aveva nelle mani
    Uno a uno i miei domani
    Nel vento tiepido di maggio
    Senza coraggio se ne và

    Cammina, Cammina

    Mi ha lasciato le parole
    Le mie tristezze stese al sole
    Mi ha lasciato con grano
    Ma il cuore moi è lontano
    Verso io, io soltanto soffriro
    Sono l'ultima che amo

    La, la, la...

    Con caricias dulces me dejaste ciego y viví en tus brazos y viví en tus labios un amor fugaz Y hoy que abrí los ojos te veo tal como eres tú vives la farsa, tú vives la farsa de un amor falaz Déjame decirte farsante, farsante eres muy farsante déjame decirte que ahora te odio como antes te quise Porque soy cobarde no puedo reñirte lo que me has quitado llévatelo todo, mi vida, mi alma, mi amor destrozado Que el cielo se apague por todas las partes donde tú te encuentres que se sequen todos los labios que busques donde refugiarte y que al fin vencida te arrastre la vida llevando en tu mente mi grito de angustia: farsante, farsante Que el cielo se apague por todas las partes donde tú te encuentres que se sequen todos los labios que busques donde refugiarte y que al fin vencida te arrastre la vida llevando en tu mente mi grito de angustia: farsante, farsante

    Ballad Of The Blue Cyclone
    Composer(s): Glen Sutton
    Performer(s): Ray Stevens



    Well, you've heard of Samson and Hercules
    They both brought a lot of folks to their knees
    And throughout history their legends have grown and grown
    Then there was Tarzan and Superman and Captain Marvel with the cool Shazam
    But there weren't even any that compare to the Blue Cyclone

    In a little bar one Wedensday night, me and ole Bill was about half tight
    Comparin' Dolly Pardon to Lana Turner and Liz
    When Bill winked at me and downed his beer and said
    "Hoss, there ain't nothin' happenin' here!"
    "Let's go to the rasslin' matches where the action is!"

    Well, I'd never seen the matches before and when we reached the arena door
    The crowd was already backed up out in the street
    And people were pushin' and shovin' like cattle
    Just gettin' in line was a heck of a battle
    We had to fight like hell but we finally got ring side seats

    Then we bought a progam as we passed though the door
    Went section D, seats three and four
    And about that time the announcer stepped in the ring
    He said, "Tonight's the greatest card ever been signed
    We got a tag team match that'll blow yer mind!"
    And they lowered the lights and the crowd began to scream

    He introduced the Spider from parts unknown with his trusty partner, the Blue Cyclone
    They were takin' on a team that never had been beat
    Well, the ref checked 'em over the rules were explained
    And somebody hollered, "The Spider's got a chain!"
    And in come the Vulture with his manager, Sneaky Pete

    Then they rang the bell and all hell broke loose
    My legs were shakin' like a rubber goose
    'Cause I'd never seen anything like this, not even in the war!
    Cyclone put the Vulture in an airplane spin
    Then he body slammed him then he did it again
    And I swear I didn't see how that cat could take much more

    Then a little old lady right next to me
    Why, if she was a day, she was eighty-three
    But she raised more sin than any man I've ever seen
    She screamed and cussed in the Cyclone's face
    Till they carried her away like a basket case
    Then the po-lice came and formed a circle around the ring

    Then on the second row up jumped a man
    I could see a pocket knife in his hand
    He hollered, "Let me in there and I'll mop up the floor!"
    His wife reached up and grabbed his sleeve
    And I saw him breath a sigh of releif
    And then he sat down and he never did say no more

    It was right about there in the thick of things
    That my buddy, Bill threw a chair in the ring
    And that's when I knew that we'd better head for the door
    'Cause I saw that Cyclone lookin' at us and he rubbed his head and started to cuss
    And I knew if he caught us he'd break Bill's neck for sure

    Well, where we'd parked wasn't that far and Bill ran so fast he beat me to the car
    And locked the doors and wasn't 'bout to let nobody in
    And I turned around and Cyclone was there and he said
    "Hey, punk! You forgot yer chair!"
    And by the look in his eyes I knew that this was the end

    Then he jumped up real high in the air and both feet caught me with a flyin' mare
    And I saw stars when I hit that hard concrete
    It broke both of my arms and three of my ribs, it's the closet thing I've come to bein' killed
    That's the last thing I remember before he put me to sleep!

    Put that sleeper on me...
    You know, I oughtta slam Bill! Heh! Lockin' the car doors like that!
    Left me out there to fight the Cyclone by myself...
    Heh! I ain't a rassler!
    I'll tell you one thing... Cyclone was lucky I was drinkin'!
    Soon as I get well... He's had it!
    I'll get him if it's the last thing I ever do...

    Nos confiamos tantas cosas nos hablamos dulcemente
    y entre besos y más besos nos amamos tiernamente
    Fueron tantas confidencias remembranzas del pasado
    y con lágrimas clavamos del amor nuestro pecado

    Hemos tomado caminos diferentes uno del otro
    a Dios le pido con fervor olvidarte poco a poco
    Nos miramos con tristeza, suspiramos hondamente
    y sin decirnos adiós nos dijimos hasta siempre

    Faro-La, Faro-Li (Song Of The New Wine)
    Composer(s): Curt Siodmak; Hans J. Salter
    Performer(s): Adia Kuznetzoff;
    Judy Kaye And The Scarlettes



    Come one and all and sing a song
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    For life is short, but death is long
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    There'll be no music in the tomb
    So sing with joy and down with gloom
    Tonight the new wine is in bloom
    Faro-la, faro-li!

    Tonight we toast our happy host
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    For he's the man we love the most
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    He's barrel-chested, dipper-lipped
    For drinking wine, he's well-equipped
    But where's his chest? It must have slipped
    Faro-la, faro-li!

    If Franzec never drank at all
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    He might not care for alchohol
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    But since he drinks them by the score
    He loves his bottles more and more
    He even likes them on the floor
    Faro-la, faro-li!

    Now here's a pair of newly-weds
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    With love and kisses in their heads
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    Tonight theres only he and she
    Just one and two, as you can see
    But very soon they may be three
    Faro-la, faro-li!

    The wine tonight is nobly blessed
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    By such a lady and her guest
    Faro-la, faro-li!
    To them a toast, come drink with me
    That they may ever happy be
    And may they live eternally
    Faro-la, faro-li!

    Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam
    Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home

    Have gun, will travel reads the card of a man
    A knight without armour in a savage land
    His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind
    A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin

    Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam
    Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home

    He travels on to wherever he must
    A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust
    There are campfire legends that the plainsmen spin
    Of the man with the gun, of the man called Paladin

    Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam
    Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home
    Far from home
    Far from home

    Caminito del indio
    sendero coya sembrao de piedras
    caminito del indio
    que junta el valle con las estrellas
    Caminito que anduvo
    de sur a norte mi raza vieja
    antes que en la montaña
    la Pachamama se ensombreciera

    Cantando en el cerro
    llorando en el río
    se agranda en la noche
    la pena del indio
    El sol y la luna
    y este canto mío
    besaron tus piedras
    camino del indio

    En la noche serrana
    llora la quena su honda nostalgia
    y el caminito sabe
    cuál es la chola que el indio llama

    Se levanta en el cerro
    la voz doliente de la baguala
    y el camino lamenta
    ser el culpable de la distancia

    Cantando en el cerro ...

    He sat by a table and cried in his rum

    The cobwebs hung heavy and dreary beside
    All that looked at him could barely decide
    He passed for one day so to sleep in that night
    And early that morning he died

    Ballad Of Muk Tuk Annie
    Composer(s): Wilf Carter - John Klenner
    Performer(s): Stompin' Tom Connors



    Yeah, let me tell you the story about Muk-Tuk Annie
    Who came South to go to school
    With a see-through blouse and sealskin mini
    Old Annie sure looked cool
    She blew into Montreal in the early fall
    Like nothin' they'd ever seen
    With long black hair and reindeer underwear
    She weighed about two-sixteen
    She came a long, long way from Frobisher Bay
    People, doncha know now what I mean
    She had the boys all cryin' on the distant early warning line
    Old Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene

    Well she told her teacher that she wanted to dance
    Said she wanted to study ballet
    But she was four-foot-six with her mukluks off
    And I heard her teacher say
    "Now I ain't sayin' Annie that you can't dance
    No, I wouldn't wanna tell you that
    But I got a form here signed in triplicate
    Says you gotta learn to drive a cab"
    She says, "I don't wanna learn to cook or sew
    Build boats or drive no cab
    'Cause I came South to sing and dance
    And groovy shit like that
    'Cause I was Miss Baffin Island Beauty Queen
    For nineteen-seventy-four
    And I spent a whole weekend in Grise Fiord
    With the boys beatin' down the door
    She came a long, long way from Frobisher Bay
    People, doncha know now what I mean
    She had the boys all cryin' on the distant early warning line
    Old Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene

    Well she said, "Thank you for your trouble, Sir
    But I'll make it on my own
    And the word spread through the North like wildfire
    "Big Annie's comin' home"
    She got off o' the plane with a record player
    Ballet slippers on her toes
    And she opened up a little groovy club
    Where ev'rybody comes and goes
    She got Old Stompin' Tom on the record player
    And she serves good booze and grub
    And the folks around Baffin Island
    Figure it's better'n any old Playboy club
    You can drink tea, beer and anti-freeze
    Till you fall right off o' your feet
    And there's seal flippers and potato chips
    When you feel like somethin' to eat
    She came a long, long way from Frobisher Bay
    People, doncha know now what I mean
    She had the boys all cryin' on the distant early warning line
    Old Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene

    Well she packs that joint almost ev'ry night
    An' folks come from miles around
    And ev'ry night about ten o'clock
    All the houselights are turned way down
    And suddenly she's on the stage
    Wearin' that toothless grin
    Short fat Annie, the Goddess o' Love
    And she's gonna do her Dance of Sin
    Well she jumps and shouts, and huffs and puffs
    And does a little bump and grind
    And all she's wearin' is them ptarmigan feathers
    Scotch-taped to her behind

    Well she made about a hundred grand last year
    Which wasn't too bad at all
    And decided to take a little holiday
    So she flew down to Montreal
    It seems she ran into her teacher there
    You know, the one that she met before
    And she gave him a job tendin' the bar
    And takin' tickets at her Nightclub door
    She come a long, long way from Frobisher Bay
    People, doncha know now what I mean
    She had the boys all cryin' on the distant early warning line
    Old Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene
    Let me tell ya now, Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene
    Let me tell ya now, Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene

    Camino De Guanajuato
    Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
    Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



    No vale nada la vida
    la vida no vale nada
    comienza siempre llorando
    y así llorando se acaba
    por eso es que en este mundo
    la vida no vale nada

    Bonito León Guanajuato
    su feria con su jugada
    ahí se apuesta la vida
    y se respeta al que gana
    allá en mi León Guanajuato
    la vida no vale nada

    Camino de Guanajuato
    que pasas por tantos pueblos
    no pases por Salamanca
    que ahí me hierre el recuerdo
    vete rodeando veredas
    no pases porque me muero

    El Cristo de tu montaña
    del cerro del Cubilete
    consuelo de los que sufren
    adoración de la gente
    el Cristo de tu montaña
    del Cerro del Cubilete

    Camino de Santa Rosa
    la Sierra de Guanajuato
    ahí nomás tras lomita
    se ve Dolores Hidalgo
    ahí me quedo paisano
    ahí es mi pueblo adorado

    Farewell Angelina Composer(s): Bob Dylan First release by: Joan Baez - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists Versions In Other Languages: 1967 - Adieu Angélina (by Nana Mouskouri) 1970 - Addio Angelina (by Bobby Solo) 2006 - Adjö Angelina (by Totta & Wiehe)



    Farewell Angelina
    The bells of the crown
    Are being stolen by bandits
    I must follow the sound
    The triangle tingles
    And the trumpets play slow
    Farewell Angelina
    The sky is on fire
    And I must go

    There's no need for anger
    There's no need for blame
    There's nothing to prove
    Ev'rything's still the same
    Just a table standing empty
    By the edge of the sea
    Farewell Angelina
    The sky is trembling
    And I must leave

    The jacks and the queens
    Have forsaked the courtyard
    Fifty-two gypsies
    Now file past the guards
    In the space where the deuce
    And the ace once ran wild
    Farewell Angelina
    The sky is folding
    I'll see you in a while

    See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
    Perched in the sun
    Shooting tin cans
    With a sawed-off shotgun
    And the neighbors they clap
    And they cheer with each blast
    Farewell Angelina
    The sky's changing color
    And I must leave fast

    King Kong, little elves
    On the rooftops they dance
    Valentino-type tangos
    While the make-up man's hands
    Shut the eyes of the dead
    Not to embarrass anyone
    Farewell Angelina
    The sky is embarassed
    And I must be gone

    The machine guns are roaring
    The puppets heave rocks
    The fiends nail time bombs
    To the hands of the clocks
    Call me any name you like
    I will never deny it
    Farewell Angelina
    The sky is errupting
    I must go where it's quiet

    The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan
    Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
    First release by: Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show - 1974
    Covered by multiple other artists



    The morning sun touched lightly on
    The eyes of Lucy Jordan
    In her white suburban bedroom
    In a white suburban town
    As she lay there 'neath the covers
    Dreaming of a thousand lovers
    Till the world turned to orange
    And the room went spinning 'round

    At the age of thirty-seven
    She realized she'd never ride
    Through Paris in a sports car
    With the warm wind in her hair
    So she let the phone keep ringing
    As she sat there, softly singing
    Little nursery rhymes she'd memorized
    In her daddy's easy chair

    Her husband is off to work
    And the kids are off to school
    And there were, oh, so many ways
    For her to spend the day
    She could clean the house for hours
    Or rearrange the flowers
    Or run naked through the shady streets
    Screaming all the way!

    At the age of thirty-seven
    She realized she'd never ride
    Through Paris in a sports car
    With the warm wind in her hair
    So she let the phone keep ringing
    As she sat there, softly singing
    Little nursery rhymes she'd memorized
    In her daddy's easy chair

    The evening sun touched gently on
    The eyes of Lucy Jordan
    On the roof top, where she climbed
    When all the laughter grew too loud
    And she bowed and curtsied to the man
    Who reached and offered her his hand
    And he led her down to the long white car
    That waited past the crowd

    At the age of thirty-seven
    She knew she'd found forever
    As she rolled along through Paris
    With the warm wind in her hair

    Camino De Aguascalientes
    Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
    Performer(s): Yolanda del Rio



    Solito con mi caballo
    camino de Aguascalientes
    voy derechito a San Marcos
    la feria de los valientes
    a ver si pierde mi gallo
    delante de tantas gentes

    Borracho y enamorado
    no sé cual es mi fortuna
    me gusta el cielo nublado
    aunque se esconda la luna
    yo soy más apasionado
    cuando la noche es oscura

    Camino de Aguascalientes
    a San Marcos voy llegando
    a ver si encuentro en su feria
    la dicha que ando buscando

    Amigo de los amigos
    me sé jugar lo que gano
    si acaso tengo enemigos
    me sé pelear mano a mano
    pa'mi no hay hombre más hombre
    yo también soy mexicano

    El cielo sigue nublado
    la luna sigue escondida
    y yo sigo apasionado
    tomando mucho tequila
    queriendo echar un volado
    aunque me cueste la vida

    Camino de Aguascalientes
    a San Marcos voy llegando
    a ver si encuentro en su feria
    la dicha que ando buscando
