    The Searchers
    Composer(s): Stan Jones
    Performer(s): The Sons Of The Pioneers



    What makes a man to wander?
    What makes a man to roam?
    What makes a man leave bed and board
    And turn his back on home?
    Ride away, ride away, ride away
    A man will search his heart and soul
    Go searchin' way out there
    His peace of mind he knows he'll find
    But where, oh Lord, Lord where?
    Ride away, ride away, ride away

    Cocaine Blues ((aka Transfusion Blues (by Johnny Cash) - 1960)) ((Adapted from: Little Sadie (by Hedy West) - 1967)) Composer(s): Traditional - T.J. Arnall Performer(s): George Thorogood & The Destroyers and multiple other artists



    Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
    I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
    I went right home and I went to bed
    I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head

    Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
    Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
    Made a good run but I ran too slow
    They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico

    Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
    In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
    He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
    You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down

    Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
    If you've got the warrant just a-read it to me
    Shot her down because she made me sore
    I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

    When I was arrested I was dressed in black
    They put me on a train and they took me back
    Had no friend for to go my bail
    They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail

    Early next mornin' bout a half past nine
    I spied the sheriff coming down the line
    Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
    He said come on you dirty heck into that district court

    Into the courtroom my trial began
    Where I was handled by twelve honest men
    Just before the jury started out
    I saw the little judge commence to look about

    In about five minutes in walked the man
    Holding the verdict in his right hand
    The verdict read murder in the first degree
    I hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me

    The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
    99 years in the Folsom pen
    99 years underneath that ground
    I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down

    Come on you've gotta listen unto me
    Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be

    Performer(s): Janet Jackson;
    The Countdown Singers; David Davidson



    With music by our side
    To break the color lines
    Let's work together
    To improve our way of life
    Join voices in protest
    To social injustice
    A generation full of courage
    Come forth with me

    Chorus:
    People of the world today
    Are we looking for a better way of life
    We are a part of the rhythm nation
    People of the world unite
    Strength in numbers we can get it right
    One time
    We are a part of the rhythm nation

    This is the test
    No struggle no progress
    Lend a hand to help
    Your brother do his best
    Things are getting worse
    We have to make them better
    It's time to give a damn
    Let's work together come on

    The Seal Of Seasons
    Composer(s): Marc Bolan
    Performer(s): T. Rex



    The seal of seasons moved with grace
    Love
    Upon the Orkney oceans face
    Love
    She swam and moved
    Just like a prancer
    A gypsy dancer
    A salty shimmered shell of foam

    Out of the depths she stood before me
    One breath and shells grew on my nut tree
    It swayed and swum
    Just like a prancer
    A gypsy dancer
    A salty shimmered shell of foam

    Her night it came and then she hooked her head
    Unto the fleeing sun and then she fled
    And flew away
    Just like a prancer
    A gypsy dancer
    A salty shimmered shell of foam

    Cocaine Bill And Morphine Sue
    (Traditional)



    Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue
    Strolling down the avenue two by two

    Oh, honey
    won't you have a little sniff on me
    Have a sniff on me

    Said Sue to Bill: "It'll do no harm
    If we both just have a little shot in the arm"

    Said Bill to Sue: "I can't refuse
    'Cause there's no more kick in this darned ol' booze"

    So they walked down first and they turned up main
    Looking for a place they could buy cocaine

    They came to a drugstore full of smoke
    Where they saw a little sign sayin' "No more coke"

    Now in the graveyard on the hill
    Lies the body of Cocaine Bill

    And in a grave right by his side
    Lies the body of his cocaine bride

    All o' you cokies is a-gonna be dead
    If you don't stop a-sniffin that stuff in your head

    Now where they went, no one can tell
    It might have been heaven or it might have been ... Sniff”

    Who's the guy with the dancing feet

    keep on dancing till the music stops

    Yooo oooh

    The Scottish Soldier
    (Traditional)



    There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier
    Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
    There was none bolder, with good broad shoulder
    He's fought in many a fray, and fought and won
    He'd seen the glory and told the story
    Of battles glorious and deeds neforious
    But now he's sighing, his heart is crying
    To leave these green hills of Tyrol
    Because these green hills are not highland hills
    Or the island hills, the're not my land's hills
    And fair as these green foreign hills may be
    They are not the hills of home

    And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier
    Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
    Sees leaves are falling and death is calling
    And he will fade away, in that far land
    He called his piper, his trusty piper
    And bade him sound a lay... a pibroch sad to play
    Upon a hillside, a Scottish hillside
    Not on these green hills of Tyrol

    And so this soldier, this Scottish soldier
    Will wander far no more and soldier far no more
    And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside
    You'll see a piper play his soldier home
    He'd seen the glory, he'd told his story
    Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
    The bugles cease now, he is at peace now
    Far from those green hills of Tyrol

    Rhymes And Reasons
    Composer(s): John Denver
    Performer(s): John Denver; Peter, Paul and Mary



    So you speak to me in sadness and the coming of the winter
    fear that is within you now that seems to never end
    and the dreams that have escaped you and the hope that you've forgotten
    and you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend
    and you wonder where we're going, where's the rhyme, where's the reason
    and it's you cannot accept it is here we must begin
    to seek the wisdom of the children
    and the graceful way of flowers in the wind
    For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
    their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
    Like the music of the mountains and the colours of the rainbow
    they're a promise of the future and the blessing for today
    Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us
    the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea
    it is written: From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us
    by the hand and by the heart they will comfort you and me
    In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free
    For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
    their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
    And the song that I am singing is a prayer to unbelievers
    come and stand beside us we can find a better way

    The Scotsman
    Composer(s): Mike Cross
    Performer(s): Bryan Bowers
    and multiple other artists



    Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
    And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
    He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
    And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

    Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
    Ring di diddly ay oh
    And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

    About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by
    One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
    "See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?
    I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!"

    Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
    Ring di diddly ay oh
    And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

    They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
    Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
    And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scotish skirt
    Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth

    Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
    Ring di diddly ay oh
    And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

    They marvelled for a moment, then one said: "We must be gone
    Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along"
    As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
    Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show

    Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
    Ring di diddly ay oh
    And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

    Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards the trees
    Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees
    And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes
    "Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!"

    Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
    Ring di diddly ay oh
    And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

    I called collect on the phone
    You say you're tired and alone
    But it sounds like someone else is lying there
    She said don't call me no more
    Don't you knock on my door
    It's too late now, and I know you'll never change
    She said....

    You're just a Coca Cola cowboy
    You got an Eastwood smile, and Robert Redford hair
    But you walked across my heart like it was Texas
    And you taught me how to say I just don't care

    She said just leave me alone
    And let me hang up this phone
    'Cause he'll see me cry, and think I still love you
    Please don't call me no more
    I changed the locks on my door
    It's time you understood that we are through

    She said....
    You're just a Coca Cola cowboy
    You got an Eastwood smile, and Robert Redford hair
    But you walked across my heart like it was Texas
    And you taught me how to say I just don't care

    She said...
    You're just a Coca Cola cowboy
    You got an Eastwood smile, and Robert Redford hair
    But you walked across my heart like it was Texas
    And you taught me how to say I just don't care

    Yes she taught me how to say I just don't care

    Rhumboogie
    Composer(s): Hughie Prince; Don Raye
    Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters;
    and various other artists



    All Harlem's got a brand new rhythm
    And it's burning up the dance floors
    Because it's so hot
    They took a little rhumba rhythm
    And they added boogie-woogie
    And-a look what they've got

    Rhumboogie
    Rhumboogie-woogie
    It's Harlem's new creation
    With a Cuban syncopation
    It's a killer

    Rhumboogie
    Rhumboogie-woogie
    The native rhythm haunts you
    It's barbaric and it taunts you
    It's a killer

    Just plant your both feet on each side
    Let both your hips and shoulders glide
    Then throw your body back and ride
    There's nothing like...

    Rhumboogie
    Rhumboogie-woogie
    In Harlem or Havana
    You can kiss the old Savanna
    It's a killer

    Oh, beat me daddy, eight-to-the-bar

    Rhumboogie
    Rhumboogie-woo-oogie
    It's Harlem's new creation
    With a Cuban syncopation
    It's a killer

    Rhumboogie
    Rhu-umboogie-woo-oogie
    The native rhythm haunts you
    It's barbaric and it taunts you
    It's a killer

    Just plant you toes and both feet on the side
    Let both your hips and shoulders glide
    Then throw your body back and ride
    Think a little of
    The rhumba
    The boogie
    The woogie
    Then put them
    Both all together
    You have rhumboogie...

    Then all together sing rhumboogie
    Rhumboogie-woogie
    Rhumboogie
    In Harlem or Havana
    It'll kiss the old Savanna
    It's a killer
    It's a killer this rhumboogie

    Rhumboogie
    Rhumboogie
    Rhumboogie-woogie-woogie-woogie-woogie
    Do-do-do-do-diddleyada-do-diddleyada-do-do-dee
    There's nothing like rhumboogie!

    Well, I'm the same old girl that I used to be
    I haven't changed at all
    Same old walk, same old talk
    That would run you up the wall
    Same old face, same old smile
    Same old baby blues
    And I'm still doin' the Rhumba, baby
    I'm still the girl for you

    I'm still doin' the Rhumba, baby
    I can't seem to quit
    If my mama catches us doin' the Rhumba
    My mama would just a-pitch a fit
    But I can't help myself
    It's much bigger than me
    If I were you, I would hang onto
    A Rhumba girl like me

    Well, there's lotsa girls on a Florida night
    With a lot slicker steps than me
    The Boogaloo, the Funky Broadway
    Are such a pretty sight to see
    My step might be old-fashioned
    But that's just fine with me
    Cause I got a couple of Rhumba steps
    That I think you'd like to see

    Coat Of Many Colors
    Composer(s): Dolly Parton
    Performer(s): Dolly Parton
    and various other artists



    Back through the years
    I go wonderin' once again
    Back to the seasons of my youth
    I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
    And how my momma put the rags to use
    There were rags of many colors
    Every piece was small
    And I didn't have a coat
    And it was way down in the fog
    Momma sewed the rags together
    Sewin' every piece with love
    She made my coat of many colors
    That I was so proud of
    As she sewed, she told a story
    From the bible, she had read
    About a coat of many colors
    Joseph wore and then she said
    Perhaps this coat will bring you
    Good luck and happiness
    And I just couldn't wait to wear it
    And momma blessed it with a kiss

    Chorus:

    My coat of many colors
    That my momma made for me
    Made only from rags
    But I wore it so proudly
    Although we had no money
    I was rich as I could be
    In my coat of many colors
    My momma made for me

    So with patches on my britches
    Holes in both my shoes
    In my coat of many colors
    I hurried off to school
    Just to find the others laughing
    And making fun of me
    In my coat of many colors
    My momma made for me

    And oh I couldn't understand it
    For I felt I was rich
    And I told them of the love
    My momma sewed in every stitch
    And I told 'em all the story
    Momma told me while she sewed
    And how my coat of many colors
    Was worth more than all their clothes

    But they didn't understand it
    And I tried to make them see
    That one is only poor
    Only if they choose to be
    Now I know we had no money
    But I was rich as I could be
    In my coat of many colors
    My momma made for me
    Made just for me

    Rhinestone Cowboy
    Composer(s): Larry Weiss
    Performer(s): Glen Campbell



    I've been walkin' these streets so long
    Singin' the same old song
    I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
    Where hustle's the name of the game
    And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
    There's been a load of compromisin'
    On the road to my horizon
    But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

    Like a rhinestone cowboy
    Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
    Like a rhinestone cowboy
    Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
    And offers comin' over the phone

    Well, I really don't mind the rain
    And a smile can hide all the pain
    But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
    And I dream of the things I'll do
    With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
    There'll be a load of compromisin'
    On the road to my horizon
    But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

    Like a rhinestone cowboy
    Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
    Rhinestone cowboy
    Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
    And offers comin' over the phone

    Like a rhinestone cowboy
    Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

    Rhinestone cowboy
    Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know

    The Scene Changes
    Composer(s): Hill
    Performer(s): Joe Loss
    and multiple other artists



    The scene changes
    I’m in a park in Paris
    But it’s so dark in Paris
    Because I’m away from you

    The scene changes
    I’m in a lane in London
    But there is rain in London
    Because I’m away from you

    I’ve been a fool to run away
    To say that I’ve done away with love
    Although the earth should swallow me
    Your face would follow me forever

    The scene changes
    My ship at last is home bound
    I’ll travel fast for I’ve found
    I’ll always belong to you

    Coal Tattoo
    Composer(s): Billy Edd Wheeler
    Originally performed by: The Kingston Trio
    Covered by various other artists



    Travelin' down that coaltown road
    Listen to those rubber tires whine
    Goodbye to Buckeye and White Sycamore
    I'm leavin' you behind
    I've been a coal man all my life
    Layin' down track in the hole
    Got a back like an ironwood bent by the wind
    Blood veins blue as the coal
    Somebody said "That's a strange tattoo
    You have on the side of your head"
    I said "That's a blue print, left by the coal
    Just a little more and I'd be dead"
    And I love the rumble and I love the dark
    I love the cool of the slate
    But it's on down the new road lookin' for a job
    It's the travelin' and lookin' I hate
    I've stood for the union, walkin' the line
    Fought against the company
    Stood for the U. M. W. of A.
    Now who's gonna stand for me?
    I got no house and I got no pay
    Just got a worried soul
    And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
    Left by the number nine coal
    Someday when I'm dead and gone
    To Heaven, the land of my dreams
    I won't have to worry on losin' my job
    To bad times 'n big machines
    I ain't gonna pay my money away
    For pensions and hospital plans
    I'm gonna pick coal where the blue heavens roll
    And sing with the angel bands
