The Cat Came Back
Composer(s): Traditional - Harry Miller
Performer(s): Fiddlin' John Carson
and multiple other artists



Now old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own
He had an old yellow cat that wouldn't leave home
Tried everything he knew to do to keep the cat away
Took him up to Canada and told him for to stay...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

On the telegraph wire the birds were sittin' in a bunch
Saw an even number, thought he'd' have `em for his lunch
Climbed softly up the pole, until he reached the top
Put his foot upon the electric wire, tied him in a knot...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

This old cat had company out in the backyard
Somebody threw a boot, and threw it awful hard
Hit the cat behind the ear and he thought it was a slight
And down came a brick and knocked him out of sight...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

They threw him in the kennel where the dog was asleep
And the bones of cats lay piled in a heap
That ol' kennel burst apart and the dog flew out the side
With his ears chewed off and holes in his hide...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

They sneaked into the shop with the butcher not around
And they dropped him in the hopper where the meat was ground
The old cat disappeared with a blood-curdling shriek
And that shop's hamburger tasted furry for a week...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

They put him in a cotton sack and give him to a girl
Who was startin' on a bicycle all around the world
Well over there in China, a terrible wreck was found
She's singin' now in heaven with the angels all around...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Now this cat was a terror and they thought it would be best
To give him to a feller who was goin' out West
Train ran around a curve and hit a broken rail
Not a blessed soul aboard the train lived to tell the tale...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

They gave the old cat to the man in the balloon
And they told him to give him to the man in the moon
Well the balloon, it busted and everybody said,
"Ten miles away they picked a man up dead"...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Well at last they found the way this cat they'd really fix
They put him in an orange crate on Highway Sixty-Six
Come a ten ton truck with a twenty ton load
Scattered pieces of the orange crate a mile down the road...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

They put him on a boat bound for Cambridge town
They thought with all the rain there, he'd surely drown
When the rain come down on the ninety-second day
The whole darn city just a-floated out the bay...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Now the farmer on the corner said he'd shoot the cat on sight
And he loaded up his gun with nails and dynamite
And he hid in the garden till the cat come around
Seven little pieces of the man was all they found...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

They put him on the White House lawn, I'll tell you the reason why
They thought with all those golf balls flyin' there, he'd surely die
The very next morning, what do you think they found
Ninety-four squirrels lyin' dead upon the ground...

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

They took him down to Cape Canaveral and they put him in a place
And they shot him in a satellite way into space
They thought that cat was beyond human reach
Then they got a phone call from Miami Beach, sayin'...

The cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Oh mais surtout n'oublie pas que maintenant il est à moi

Fine And Mellow

and various other artists



My man don't love me
Treats me oh, so mean
My man don't he love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever see

He wears high drape pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high drape pants
Stripes area really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong

But if you treat me right, baby
I'll stay home every day
If you treat me right, baby
I'll stay home every day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away

Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on, baby
It has turned off and gone

The Carroll County Accident
Composer(s): Bob Ferguson
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner
and multiple other artists



Carroll County's pointed out as kind of square
The biggest thing that happens is the county fair
I guess that's why we thought it such a big event
What we call the Carroll County accident

The wreck was on the highway just outside the line
Walter Browning lost his life and for a time
It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die
But she lived long enough for her to testify

Walter Browning was a happy married man
And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand
But it was gone, nobody knew just where it went
He lost it in the Carroll County Accident

Mary Ellen testified that he flagged her down
Said he was sick and could she drive him into town
No one ever doubted what she said was true
'Cause she was well respected in the county too

I went down to see the wreck like all the rest
The broken glass the bloody seats the tangled mess
But I found something no one else had ever seen
Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine

A little match box circled by a rubber band
And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand
It took awhile to figure out just what it meant
The truth about the Carroll County accident

By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well
And took a sacred oath that I would never tell
The truth about the Carroll County accident
For the County ordered dad a marble monument

Yes, I lost him in the Carroll County accident

Oh, can't you see that she's mine

The Carnival Is Over
Composer(s): Tom Springfield
First release by: The Seekers - 1965



Say goodbye, my own true lover
As we sing a lover's song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
High above, the dawn is waking
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again

Like a drum my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine

Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die

Like a drum my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine

Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die

Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die

Find Your Way Back
Composer(s): Craig Chaquico; Thomas Borsdorf
Performer(s): Jefferson Starship;
and various other artists



It's been a long, long road 
Since I packed up and left on my own 
And I carry a heavy load 
Just try 'n' get back to her heart 

I sure ain't got no home 
I seem to find love where I ramble 
And when it's time to go 
I hear that voice again... say'n' 

Chorus 
Find your way back... 
Find your way back to her heart 
Find your way back... 
Find your way back to her heart 

Leave a message with the rain 
You can find me where the wind blows 
The snow across the pain 
And the frost upon the heart 

(you got no place to be 
Still you wonder where you're goin') 
And why I had to leave 
I hear a voice... it says to me 

Repeat Chorus

I know it's too late now 
But, I wish I could go back in time 
And start all over somehow 
And get it right from the start 

Repeat Chorus

Carioca
Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Vincent Youmans - Edward Eliscu
First performance: Fred Astaire - 1933
Covered by multiple other artists



Say, have you seen a Carioca?
It's not a foxtrot or a polka
It has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighs

It has a meter that is tricky
A bit of wicked wacky-wicky
But when you dance it with a new love, there's a true love in her eye

You dream of a new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You dream of a new Carioca
When music and lights are gone we say goodbye

Two heads together, they say are better than one
Two heads together, that's how the dance is begun
Two arms around you and lips, that's why I'm yours and you are mine
And you are mine

Now that you've done the Carioca
You'll never care to do the Polka
And then you'll realize the blue hula and bamboola are through

Tomorrow morning you'll discover
You're just a Carioca lover
And when you dance it with each new love, there'll be true love just for you

Now you'll dream of a new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You'll dream of a new Carioca
When music and lights are gone and we're saying goodbye
Goodbye

Covered by multiple other artists



Every time I see you lookin' my way
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
In the car or walking down the highway
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

When you move up closer to me
I get a feelin' that's ooo-wee
Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat
'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love

When I feel you put your arms around me
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Then I'm glad, I'm mighty glad I found you
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

When you asked me to meet your Ma
I knew that baby, we'd be going far
Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat?
'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love

All my friends are cryin' out to meet you
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Now's the time to go and see the preacher
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

Wedding bells are gonna chime
Baby, baby, you're gonna be mine
Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat
'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love

Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

Find Me A Primitive Man
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Lee Wiley;
and various other artists



Now, before this modern idea had burst
About the women and children first
The men had much more charm than they have today
And if only one of that type survived
The very moment that he arrived
I know I'd fall in love in a great big way
I can't imagine being bad
With any Arrow collar ad
Nor could I take the slightest joy
In waking up a college boy
I've no desire to be alone
With Rudy Vallee's megaphone
So when I'm saying my prayers, I say

Find me a primitive man
Built on a primitive plan
Someone with vigor and vim
I don't mean a kind that belongs to a club
But the kind that has a club that belongs to him
I could be the personal slave
Of someone just out of a cave
The only man who'll ever win me
Has gotta wake up the gypsy in me
Find me a primitive man
Find me a primitive man

Trouve moi un homme primitif
Trouve moi un garcon naif
Quelqu'un tout plein de vigeur
Ces p'tits maquereaux qu'on appelle gigolos ne
Pourraient jamais donner le vrai bonheur
J'ai besoin d'un bel animal
Pour chauffeur mon chaffage centrale
Et l'homme qui me veut pour capitane
Devrait reveiler mon sang tzigane
Trouve moi un homme primitif, vif
Trouve moi un homme primitif

(Find me a primitive man
Find me a forthright young lad
Someone with vigor to spare
Those fatuous beaux they call gigolos could never give me happiness
I must have a gorgeous beast
To heat up my own central heat
And he who aspires to be my stud
Must reawake my gypsy blood
Find me a primitive man)

You hurt me when you told me you

Soon the day will roll around when I'll see you my last time

tu es quelque part à Paris
ou chez toi
tout seul ou avec des amis
je n'sais pas
moi je suis allongée sur mon lit
dehors y a trop de gens, de voitures et de bruit
j'ai posé un instant ce livre qui m'ennuie
tout doucement descend la nuit
et je vois
par la fenêtre le voisin qui
croise les bras
moi, je suis allongée sur mon lit
je me sens un peu faim
il est six heures et demie
je ne sais pas très bien
de quoi j'aurais envie

The Camel And The Butterfly
Composer(s): Frederic Norton



Once upon a time there lived a dromedary
Oh, so full of woe was he
The reason was, because he could not fly like a fairy
Oh, so full of woe was he

One day he chanced to spy
A gorgeous butterfly
Said he, "Oh! would you be so kind
To teach me how to fly?"

And the butterfly just cock'd his eye
He saw a chance of fun
Said he, aloud, "'Twill make me proud
"To show you how it's done"

Said the butterfly, "You must climb that mountain bare"
(Oh! so weary was the dromedary)
"And when you reach the top
You must take a jump in the air
You will fly like a fairy"

The camel closed his eyes
And took an awful jump
The earth it shook for miles around
He fell with such a bump!

And I grieve to say, since that sad day
All through that dreadful jump
That camels all, both great and small
Have always had the...
Have always had the hump!

Can't We Try
Composer(s): Dan Hill
Performer(s): Dan Hill



I see your face cloud over like a little girls
And your eyes have lost their shine
You whisper something softly
I'm not meant to hear
Baby tell me what's on your mind
I don't' care what people say
About the two of us from different worlds
I love you so much that it hurts inside
Are you listening
Please listen to me girl

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside

I hear you on the telephone
With god knows who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girls that someone should be me

So many times I've tried to tell you
You just turn away
My life is changing so fast now
Leaves me lonely and afraid

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride

I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
Don't let our love fade away
No matter what people say
I need you more and more each day

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
Love you so much baby
Tears me up inside

Fim Do Mundo

Faça comigo, cantoria de alegria
Juro que sou assim
Do fim do mundo, do fim
Faça comigo, um embarque sem retorno
Juro que sou assim
Do fim do mundo, do fim
Faça comigo um pouquinho de cuidado
Juro que sou assim
Do fim do mundo, do fim
Se junto a mim
O rio dos meus sonhos
Hoje é todo paraíso
E hoje se fez manhã

Parece que chorando eu chego perto
E nós nesse deserto
Filhos nascidos do sol, da noite, da lua
Parece o fim do mundo, o fim

The Cajun Queen
Composer(s): Wayne Walker
Performer(s): Jimmy Dean; Jack Dean; Don Sebesky



She kinda breezed into town from New Orleans
And said, "Boys, I'm Big John's Cajun Queen
Now I didn't come here to argue or waste anbody's time
I just came to get my man from your dirty old mine
'Cause he moves me!
Now where you give up's where old Queenie's gonna start
'Cause I got a powerful love in my heart
So just show me the hole way down in the ground
And tell the whole wide world Big John's been found
And he's livin'!"

So down in the mine without a sign of a light
Old Queenie went a-lookin' for John that night
She found him there at the bottom of the pit
And placed a red hot kiss on those cold blue lips!
He started breathin'!
She waited a minute and then she kissed him again
And old John got the power of a hundred men
Up he come a-clawin' and a-diggin' like a mole
And said, "Come on Queenie, we're gonna leave this hole!"
They started walkin'!

Now a roar from the crowd greeted this fine pair
As they both walked out in that cool night air
And up for silence went Big John's hand
And the Queen said, "I told you I'd get my man
'Cause he moves me!"
You can find them today, they're down in New Orleans
Big Bad John and his Cajun Queen
They're a little bit wrinkled from the strain of time
But their love's just as strong as that night in the mine
A hundred and ten grandchildren!

Now the moral of this story has a real clear omen
Don't you ever underestimate the power of a woman!

Cold and lonely night, you don’t have to leave at all
A car rolls up outside on time, a moment from your call
And handshake seems more fitting than a kiss
Such a shame that you and I should have to end like this

Can’t we just sit down and talk it over
Surely you can ask the better way
Strange that you’re the one so set on leaving
And I’m the one who said last night that it was all too late

Can’t we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We’ll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and I can talk it out

Tonight stay somewhere warm, they say it’s gonna freeze
You may not find a place at all, so be sure and take your keys
I can almost taste the silence now
Does it really matter still,
Who was wrong, who let who down

Can’t we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We’ll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and I can talk it out

Hold on, hold on
Surely you and I can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and I can make it right
Hold on, hold on, yeah
Can’t we just sit down and talk it over
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
