(man speaks): Dearly beloved, we are gathered together In the presence of God, and these witnesses To join this man and this woman in the bonds Of holy matrimony
Do you Tammy, take this man, George To be your lawfully wedded husband To love and to cherish until death do you part?
(T.W.) sings: I'll take this man and by him I'll stand I promise that we'll never part To him, I'll be true There'll be no one new From now, till death do us part
(man speaks): And do you, George, take this woman, Tammy To be your lawfully wedded wife To love and to cherish, until death do you part?
(G.J.): Yes I'll take this woman She'll be mine forever And I'll love her, with all of my heart
To have and to hold My love won't grow cold I promise, till death do us part
(both sing): We'll take each other From this day forward Together, in sickness or health
United with love We'll face life together If we're poor or if we have wealth
For better or worst You'll always come first And no one can keep us apart
Yes, we take each other Forsaking all others Together, till death do us part

Finestra Chiusa Composer(s): Renee Bracchi; D'Anzi Performer(s): Carlo Buti
Perchè mhai fatto piangere? Perché non mami più? Lo so che le mie lacrime ti fan sorridere, lhai detto tu Perché tu non vuoi credere che non so vivere lontan da te?
Finestra chiusa al mio cuore innamorato Questa notte son tornato per restar vicino a te Finestra chiusa senza luce e senza amor Se fai piangere il muio cuor tu non hai pietà di me
Ritorna ancora! Ma tu non mi ascolti più Ritorna ancora senza te non vivo più! Finestra chiusa forse un vento di follia si portò la donna mia e non la vedrò mai più
Lo so ti debbo perdere lo so ma nel mio cuor lamor non posso uccidere mi devi credere, non so mentir Così non posso vivere e debbo piangere per non morir
The Cat Crept In Composer(s): Mike Chapman - Nicky Chinn Performer(s): Mud
I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Well she's got style you can see it in her feline eyes When she starts moving you sure can tell When she starts shaking she's raising hell I said hey you guys, look who's waiting ouside
You remember how she left that floor on a Saturday night The cat's footloose and she darned near started a fight Well she may have been flashing like a neon sign But you can't touch her 'cos she's mine all mine I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Let her in!
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail And then the cat crept in swinging her tail Just open up the door to that high heeled paw I said the cat crept in, we crept out again I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again
I said hey you guys, can you hear that alley cat cry She aint superstitious but she's hanging on to life number nine Well you may not show it but she hides in the light And she may not show it but this cat can bite I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Let her in!
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail And then the cat crept in swinging her tail Just open up the door to that high heeled paw I said the cat crept in, we crept out again I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again
Well she's got style you can see it in her feline eyes Well she may have been flashing like a neon sign But you can't touch her 'cos she's mine all mine I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Okay, let her in!
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail And then the cat crept in swinging her tail Just open up the door to that high heeled paw I said the cat crept in, we crept out again I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again...

Canta gallito canta gallo compañero ¡Los gallos que no son gallos andan por el gallinero! Gallito de la montaña gallito de monte y río que no se callen los gallos que canten el canto mío
Fine On My Mind Composer(s): Jerry Reed Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Well girl you're fine on my mind all the time Fine on my mind all the time I never met a woman quite like you And all the sweet things you do
Stay fine on my mind all the time
My papa said someday boy true love's gonna come your way Someday some woman's gonna love you right out of your mind You'll lose your appetite and won't be able to sleep at night For thinkin' bout some woman all the time
Well girl you're fine...
Well if papa could just see me Lord I know how tickled he'd be To know some woman got me talkin' to myself And it's been like this since it came first time we kissed I can't seem to think about nothin' else
Little Bennie had a cat that they wouldn't let him keep So he put her up for sale at a price he thought was cheap He took her to a neighbor to ask him for advice He said, "Leave the kitty here She can help me with the mice"
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
Then Bennie met a man who was driving way out West He would take the cat along as a special honored guest The steering wheel was wobbly, he drove into a tree The car was just a total wreck as anyone could see
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
So Bennie bought a gun from the Human Cannonball He put the cat inside with Tri-Nitro Toluol When he pulled the trigger, the cannon made a roar The neighbors all surrendered 'cause they thought it was a war
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
Then Bennie gave the cat to a man who had a bomb When he took the cat away, she was acting cool and calm And then the bomb exploded, it made an awful sound They searched and searched for ages but the man was never found
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
Can't You Take It Back And Change It For A Boy
Composer(s): Thurland - Chattaway
Performer(s): Rex Allen
From the nursery creepin', a little boy came peepin' Shyly peepin' through a golden curl At a tiny bundle, such a funny bundle Was a tiny, little baby girl Came to town that mornin', as the day was dawnin' Mother thought t'would fill his heart with joy But he shook his little head and to his Mammy said Gee I wish that you had bought a boy
Can't you take it back and change it for another I don't want no little sister don't you see 'Cos I'd rather have a little baby brother Who could play a game of ball with me For it ain't no fun to play with dolls and such things A girl you know could never fix a toy So I'll tell you what to do, if it's just the same with you Can't you take it back and change it for a boy
Now ain't it awful funny? Did it cost much money? Won't it be an awful lot of care It t'ain't a good one Mother, you'll have to get another Can't you see it hasn't any hair Don't its teeth come with it? Will its nose grow, will it? Don't it make an awful lot of noise Take it back today, take it right away And buy one where they only sell just boys
Can't you take it back and change it for another I don't want no little sister don't you see 'Cos I'd rather have a little baby brother Who could play a game of ball with me It ain't no fun to play with dolls and such things A girl you know could never fix a toy So I'll tell you what to do, if it's just the same with you Can't you take it back and change it for a boy
Fine Brown Frame Composer(s): Guadalupe Cartiero; J. Mayo Williams Performer(s): Nellie Lutcher; and various other artists
Oh, he's got a fine brown frame I wonder what could be his name He looks good to me, and all I can see Is his fine brown frame
How long have you been around Mister when did you hit this big town I wanna scream 'cos I've never seen Such a fine brown frame

Woh-ooh! he's got a fine brown frame I wonder what could be his name He is solid with me, and all I can see Is his fine brown frame
Be be be be beep
He's got such a fine brown frame I wonder what could be his name He looks good to me, and all I can see Is his fine brown frame
How long have you been around Mister when did you hit this big town I wanna scream, aahhhh, 'cos I've never seen Such a fine brown frame
All that I have is a broken down chair But I would gladly make him king on my throne Don't be a square, why don't you come over here Together we would really be gone
Ooohh, he's such a fine brown frame Honey won't you tell me your name He is solid with me and all I can see Is his fine brown frame
Now Robert Taylor, Robert Young, Ameche and Gable Are all as fine as mountain sable You may not be classed with the elite And you may not be hip to that jive-like foot, an' all reet

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

Fine And Mellow Composer(s): Billie Holiday Performer(s): Billie Holiday; 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

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

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
