Satisfied Mind Composer(s): Jack Rhodes; Joe Hayes First release by: Porter Wagoner - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
How many times have you heard someone say If I had his money I could do things my way But little they know that it's so hard to find Once rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
Once I was winning in fortune and fame Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
Money won't buy back your youth when you're old A friend when yuou're lonely or a love that's grown cold The wealthiest person is a pauper at times Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
When my life is over, my time has run out My friends and my loved ones will weep, there's no doubt But one things for certain, when it comes muy time I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
Satin Pillows Composer(s): Bob Tubert; Sonny James First release by: Bobby Vinton - 1965
Covered by: Sandy Posey - 1966
Satin pillows to cry on Satin pillows to cry on You've got nothing else to rely on You gave up the most precious thing in life You turned from love to be a rich man's wife The man you married is colder than all his gold You're something he bought to keep from growing old
Now you've got satin pillows to cry on Satin pillows tro cry on You've got nothing else to rely on And you've got fancy dresses and big cars Diamonds that outshine the brightest stars But diamonds can't replace the love we knew They won't keep you warm like my arms used to Now you've got satin pillows to cry on Satin pillows to cry on You've got nothing else to rely on Satin pillows to cry on Satin pillows to cry on
Morgen, Kinder, Wird's Was Geben Composer(s): Philipp von Bartsch; Carl Gottlieb Hering
Morgen, Kinder, wird's was geben Morgen, Kinder, wird's was geben morgen werden wir uns freun! Welch ein Jubel, welch ein Leben wird in unsrem Hause sein! Einmal werden wir noch wach heißa, dann ist Weihnachtstag!
Wie wird dann die Stube glänzen von der großen Lichterzahl! Schöner als bei frohen Tänzen ein geputzter Kronensaal Wißt ihr noch wie vor'ges Jahr es am Heil'gen Abend war?
Wißt ihr noch mein Räderpferdchen Malchens nette Schäferin Jettchens Küche mit den Herden und dem blankgeputzten Zinn? Heinrichs bunten Harlekin mit der gelben Violin?
Welch ein schöner Tag ist morgen! Viele Freunde hoffen wir uns're lieben Elternsorgen lange, lange schon dafür o gewiß wer sie nicht ehrt ist der ganzen Lust nicht wert
Satin Green Shutters Composer(s): Chris de Burgh Performer(s): Chris de Burgh
Where your love is, put your heart, guard these moments well Where your dreams are, put your hopes, you know they will not fail you When the sun rises in the morning, you will wake up and find her yawning When the wind blows strong and cold, she'll be with you until you grow old Where your love is, put your heart, oh what would you do if your dreams came true? I would build a lovely house with satin green shutters, it would be lovely The most lovely house in the world... And I would sing a lovely song with you in my mind, and you in my eyes The most lovely song in the world... I would write it down on the wall, just for you, just for you And I would hold you in my arms for the rest of my days
When you're sad and feeling low, you're on your own with nowhere to go Make believe that she is gone, play your guitar and write a song for her Write down the words about how you cried when you woke up weeping 'Cos you thought that she had died, and you heard her breathing Through your pain and you held her close and cried all over again Where your love is, put your heart, oh what would you do if your dreams came true?
And inside my lovely house with satin green shutters, there would be children The most lovely children in the world... And even when skies are grey, we would be happy, for we have love The most lovely love in the world I would write it down on the wind, just for you, just for you And I would hold you in my arms for the rest of my days

Monster's Holiday
Composer(s): Charles Underwood
Performer(s): Bobby 'Boris' Pickett
'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the castle My monsters were having a Yuletide hassle The tree was all trimmed in ghoulish things Like werewolf fangs and vampire wings
(It was a monster's holiday) But they were up to no good (It was a monster's holiday) Didn't act like good monsters should (It was a monster's holiday) They found themselves a new play (It was a monster's holiday) They planned to rob Santa's sleigh
They were making a list and checking it twice Frankenstein wanted a shiny new trike A new chain for Yarnush A brace for Igor's back A speed shaver for Wolfman A new cape for Drac
(It was a monster's holiday) They were up to no good (It was a monster's holiday) Didn't act like good monster's should (It was a monster's holiday) They found themselves a new play (It was a monster's holiday) They planned to rob Santa's sleigh
The Mummy was to signal from the castle roof At the very first sound of a reindeer hoof As Santa slid down the chimney wall The zombies were to make off with sleigh and all
From beyond the moat there arose such a clatter I jumped to the window to see what was the matter Like a bolt of lightning it happened so quick And there in our midst stood old Saint Nick
He began to dig down deep in his sack And came up with the traction for Igor's back Drac got his cape Franky's trike made him behave Even Wolfman was happy now he can shave
(It was a monster's holiday) And all ended well (It was a monster's holiday) And Santa was really swell (It was a monster's holiday) No need to rob Santa's sleigh (It was a monster's holiday) Maybe next year he'll come back
So the children everywhere were spared the grief Of losing their presents to a monster sleigh thief Now the monsters love Santa and say they'll behave And never again rob sleighs or graves
(Repeat "it was a monster's holiday" in background with the following) Igor, what do you think of Santa now? "Arrrrrr...Santa good!" And Santa said as he drove out of sight
(Dracula accent):"Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho Merry Christmas to all And to all a good night - blaaaa!"
Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Dashing through the snow Where is that reindeer with the red nose, blaaaa On Donner, on Blitzen, on Dancer ...

Mon beau sapin, roi des forêts
Que j'aime ta verdure!
Quand par l'hiver, bois et guérets

Mistletoe And Wine Composer(s): Jeremy Paul; Leslie Stewart; Keith Strachan Performer(s): Cliff Richard
The child is a King, the Carollers sing The old has passed, there's a new beginning Dreams of Santa, dreams of snow Fingers numb, faces aglow
Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine Children singing Christian rhyme With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree A time for rejoicing in all that we see
A time for living, a time for believing A time for trusting, not deceiving Love and laughter and joy ever after Ours for the taking, just follow the master
Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine Children singing Christian rhyme With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree A time for rejoicing in all that we see
A time for giving, a time for getting A time for forgiving and for forgetting Christmas is love, Christmas is peace A time for hating and fighting to cease
Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine Children singing Christian rhyme With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree A time for rejoicing in all that we see
Satan's Jeweled Crown Composer(s): Edgar L. Eden Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
Now if I were a queen and a ruler of nations With diamonds and jewels profound Well, I'd rather know that I had salvation Than to know my reward Would be Satan's jewel crown
I've worm it so long but God for my Soul has reached down His love set me free He made me His own, and helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
Oh, the life that I live so sinful and needless Drinkin' and runnin' around All the things that I do for the love of the devil I know my reward Will be Satan's jewel crown
Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long But God for my soul has reached down His love set me free He made me His own, and helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
Satanée Question Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Quand elle me demande si je l'aime Satanée question Quel que soit le jour de la semaine Moi toujours je réponds T'as pas de soucis à te faire Tant que tu protégeras tes mystères Je croirais encore aux chimères Qui se cachent au fond de l'amour
Alors elle fait la gueule pendant deux ou trois jours Et la porte se ferme on ne fait plus l'amour Elle redevient petite fille, se cache quand elle se déshabille Un jour elle m'a même dit Vous, que voulez-vous, vous êtes fou Avec vos mains que se posent partout Alors j'ai fait la gueule pendant deux ou trois ans Mais voilà qu'à présent
Quand elle me demande si je l'aime Satanée question Quel que soit le jour de la semaine Moi toujours je réponds T'as pas de soucis à te faire Tant que tu ne seras pas une lumière Je goûterai aux plaisirs de ta chair Histoire de ne pas devenir sourd
Alors elle fait la gueule pendant deux ou trois jours Et pendant ce temps là je m'en vais faire un tour Je m'en vais revoir Valentine Elle me raconte les amours de Chine Un jour elle m'a même dit Toi, tu sais que toi, j'sais pas pourquoi Je t'aime tant que j'en miaule de joie Alors j'ai fait l'amour pendant deux ou trois ans Mais voilà qu'à présent
Quand elle me demande si je l'aime Satanée question Quel que soit le jour de la semaine Moi toujours je réponds T'as pas de soucis à te faire Tant que j'aimerais pas l'Angleterre Je ne repartirais pas Outre-mer Histoire de partir faire un tour
Satan Can't Hold Me Composer(s): Orville Stevens Performer(s): Jim Reeves
When the trumpet has sounded and at Judgement we stand And the Lord up in Heaven takes you by the hand If for things I've done wrong, I am sent down below Satan can't hold me, this much I know
Satan can't hold me, nobody can Angel or devil, spirit or man Through the valleys of darkness I'll come to your side Your love my beacon, my love my guide
I will climb over mountains, fly up in the blue I'll swim every river that keeps me from you Till that wonderful day we're together again Satan can't hold me, true love must win
Satan can't hold me, nobody can Angel or devil, spirit or man Through the valleys of darkness I'll come to your side Your love my beacon, my love my guide
Miss Fogarty's Christmas Cake
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
As I sat in my window last evening
The letterman brought it to me
A little gilt-edged invitation sayin'
"Gilhooley come over to tea"
I knew that the Fogarties sent it
So I went just for old friendship's sake
The first thing they gave me to tackle
Was a slice of Miss Fogarty's cake
There were plums and prunes and cherries
There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too
There was nutmeg, cloves and berries
And a crust that was nailed on with glue
There were caraway seeds in abundance
Such that work up a fine stomach ache
That could kill a man twice after eating a slice
Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake
Miss Mulligan wanted to try it
But really it wasn't no use
For we worked in it over an hour
And we couldn't get none of it loose
Till Murphy came in with a hatchet
And Kelly came in with a saw
That cake was enough be the powers above
For to paralyze any man's jaws
Miss Fogarty proud as a peacock
Kept smiling and blinking away
Till she flipped over Flanagans brogans
And she spilt the homebrew in her tea
Aye Gilhooley she says you're not eatin'
Try a little bit more for me sake
And no Miss Fogarty says I
For I've had quite enough of your cake
Maloney was took with the colic
O'Donald's a pain in his head
Mc'Naughton lay down on the sofa
And he swore that he wished he was dead
Miss Bailey went into hysterics
And there she did wriggle and shake
And everyone swore they were poisoned
Just from eating Miss Fogarty's cake

Pensar que no dijo nada la mañana que lo vi pensar que el amaba tanto a su divina Sissi baje el callejón con calma, mas no pude resistir entonces rece por Sasha por su amada y por mi
Reptar, reptar, en horas de la siesta cambiar, cambiar las leyes del amar Sissi lo volvió loco en una fiesta y no volvió a tocarlo nunca mas
entonces penso en un arma, en matarla y en huir lloro y escribió su réquiem para Sasha y Sissi no hizo mas que esperarla, la beso y durmió al llegar y trazo un circulo de baba con un medical style
y no dejo que nunca mas sufriera Sissi murió hambre y vanidad amar, amar y tuvo muerte lenta así el meo tres veces mis zapatos y llego hasta el bar...
Simplemente fue lo que paso bajo esta luz Sasha prendió un faso y se sentó pito ese cigarrillo hasta explotar

My Sarie Marais is so ver van my hart Maar'k hoop om haar weer te sien Sy het in die wyk van die Mooi Rivier gewoon Nog voor die oorlog het begin
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais
Ek was so bang dat die Kakies my sou vang En ver oor die see wegstuur Toe vlug ek na die kant van die Upington se sand Daar onder langs die Grootrivier Refrein Die Kakies is mos net soos 'n krokodille pes Hulle sleep jou altyd water toe Hul gooi jou op n skip vir 'n lange, lange trip Die josie weet waarnatoe
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais
Verlossing die kom en die huis toe gaan was daar Terug na die ou Transvaal My lieflingspersoon sal seker ook daar wees Om my met 'n kus te beloon
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais
