Comanche (The Brave Horse) Composer(s): Johnny Horton; Francis Bandy Performer(s): Johnny Horton
The battle was o'er at Custer's last stand And taps were sounding for all the brave men While one lone survivor, wounded and weak Comanche, the Brave Horse lay at the General's feet
Comanche you fought hard, Comanche you tried You were a good soldier, so hold your head up high For even the greatest sometimes must fall Comanche, the Brave Horse, you gave your all
Though you are silent, your deeds did speak loud If your buddies could see you, I know they'd be proud The symbol of bravery at the Little Big Horn Poor old Comanche, you're battle scarred and torn
Comanche you fought hard, Comanche you tried You were a good soldier, so hold your head up high For even the greatest sometimes must fall Comanche, the Brave Horse, you gave your all
Comanche you fought hard, Comanche you tried You were a good soldier, so hold your head up high For even the greatest sometimes must fall Comanche, the Brave Horse, you gave your all
Página En Blanco Composer(s): Bony Villaseñor Performer(s): Javier Solís
Adiós felicidad iré cantando ¿por qué? porque se fue la prenda mía más nunca lloraré en la lejanía No quiero entristecerla con mi llanto Adiós felicidad iré cantando el tiempo me mostró su corazón la página del álbum quedó en blanco no tengo ni siquiera su perdón
No supe comprender aquél cariño no supe conquistar su corazón las horas se pasaban sin pensarlo y el tiempo es lo que cuenta en el amor
Adiós felicidad iré cantando el tiempo me mostró su corazón la página del álbum quedó en blanco no tengo ni siquiera su perdón
No supe comprender aquél cariño no supe conquistar su corazón las horas se pasaban sin pensarlo y el tiempo es lo que cuenta en el amor
Adiós felicidad iré cantando el tiempo me mostró su corazón la página del álbum quedó en blanco no tengo ni siquiera su perdón no tengo ni siquiera su perdón
Si On Chantait (Dutch Version: Oh, Wat Een Dag - 1974) Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc First release by: Julien Clerc - 1972
La grande ville Mange la ville La grande vie Mange la vie...
Marie si belle Marie vaisselle Marie chandelle Plume d'hirondelle... Fleur sans colline Pleur en cuisine Marie sans fard Fleur de brouillard...
Si on chantait... Si on chantait Si on chantait Marie dìvine, si on chantait...
Ce qui me peine N'est pas que je t'aime Le temps se lasse Le cur efface Parmi les femmes Pourquoi le taire Celles qui te ressemblent Je les préfère...
Marie divine Sans mousseline Dans ta cuisine Je t'imagine...
Si on chantait... Si on chantait Si on chantait Marie dìvine, si on chantait...
Page D'écriture Composer(s): Jacques Prévert; Joseph Kosma Performer(s): Yves Montand; Les Frères Jacques; Cora Vaucaire
Deux et deux quatre quatre et quatre huit huit et huit font seize... Répétez! dit le maître Deux et deux quatre quatre et quatre huit huit et huit font seize Mais voilà l'oiseau-lyre qui passe dans le ciel l'enfant le voit l'enfant l'entend l'enfant l'appelle Sauve-moi Joue avec moi oiseau! Alors l'oiseau descend et joue avec l'enfant Deux et deux quatre... Répétez! dit le maître et l'enfant joue l'oiseau joue avec lui... Quatre et quatre huit huit et huit font seize et seize et seize qu'est-ce qu'ils font? Ils ne font rien seize et seize et surtout pas trente deux de toute façon et ils s'en vont Et l'enfant a caché l'oiseau dans son pupitre et tous les enfants entendent sa chanson et tous les enfants entendent la musique et huit et huit à leur tour s'en vont et quatre et quatre et deux et deux à leur tour fiche le camp et un et un ne font ni une ni deux un à un s'en vont également Et l'oiseau-lyre joue et l'enfant chante et le professeur crie Quand vous aurez fini de faire le pitre!
Mais tous les autres enfants écoutent la musique et les murs de la classe s'écoulent tranquillement Et les vitres redeviennent sable L'encre redevient eau Les pupitres redeviennent arbres La craie redevient falaise Le porte-plume redevient oiseau
Oh, Wat Een Dag (Adapted from: Si On Chantait - 1972) Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc; Herman Pieter de Boer Performer(s): Conny Vandenbos - 1974
Over het land Huppelt het licht Kaatst door de ruit Op je gezicht Kom overeind Trek gauw wat aan Geef me je hand Laten we gaan
Ogen vol zon Vogelenzang Wind op je wang Wind in je haar Oh wat een dag Oh wat een dag Hmm wat een dag Oh wat een dag Lalalala Ik voel me licht Ik ben van slag Ik ben verliefd Op deze dag Ik hoop dat hij heel lang duren mag Oh wat een dag Oh wat een dag Hmm wat een dag Oh wat een dag Lalalala Een dag die duizelt in je hoofd Een dag waarin je weer gelooft Oh wat een dag vandaag
En in het bos Geurt de jasmijn Vlak voor ons uit Hipt een konijn Kijk om je heen Dit is het uur Voel wat ik voel Hmmm moeder natuur
Ogen vol zon Vogelenzang Wind op je wang Wind in je haar Oh wat een dag Oh wat een dag Hmm wat een dag Oh wat een dag Lalalala Ik voel me licht Ik ben van slag Ik ben verliefd Op deze dag Ik hoop dat hij heel lang duren mag Oh wat een dag Oh wat een dag Hmm wat een dag Oh wat een dag Lalalala Een dag die duizelt in je hoofd Een dag waarin je weer gelooft Oh wat een dag vandaag...
Le Bon Temps Qui Passe (Adapted from: Come Early Morning - 1972) Composer(s): Bob McDill; Eddy Mitchell Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1976
J'ai travaillé Très dur toute la journée Dans les champs Oh! Et à la nuit tombée J'étais heureux J'allais te retrouver Mais j'aurais dû te prévenir avant d'arriver
Ton téléphone sonnait occupé Et ta porte Oh! Était bien fermée J'ai aperçu Le camion du fermier J'aurais dû te prévenir avant d'arriver
Le bon temps qui passe Et me dépasse N'est pas pour moi Qui suis en retard Mais peut être qu'un matin ou un soir J'arriverai au bon moment et à la bonne place
Je suis triste Je n'ai rien mangé A cette heure Oh! Presque tout est fermé Sur l'autoroute Un "borel" est allumé C'est sûrement le seul endroit où l'on serve à dîner
Mon poulet-frites Voulait se sauver Et pourtant Oh! Il avait l'air blessé Je suis parti Avec l'estomac noué Cet endroit fait plus de victimes que les deux guerres passées
Le bon temps qui passe Et me dépasse N'est pas pour moi Qui suis en retard Mais peut être qu'un matin ou un soir J'arriverai au bon moment et à la bonne place

Come Early Morning (French Version: Le Bon Temps Qui Passe - 1976) Composer(s): Bob McDill First release by: Bob McDill - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
I been a walkin' Walkin' in the moonlight Trippin' in the starlight Lord And I'm feelin' down Walkin' in the shadows
Sneakin' down a side road Come early mornin' I'll be there on the edge of town
'Cause I was a thinkin' Thinkin' 'bout a good thing Thinkin' 'bout a sweet gleam Mmm in my honeys eyes And I was a sinkin' Feelin' kind a lonesome Come early mornin' I'll be home with my honey's side
I have drifted up across the mountain I have stumbled down the other side I've been temted tried and troubled Come early mornin' I'll be home and satisfied
She gimme little lovin' Gimme little sunshine Make me have a good time Lord When I'm feelin' blue And I can't refuse her I wouldn't misuse her Come early mornin' I'll be home with my honey dew
I have drifted up across the mountain I have stumbled down the other side I've been tempted tried and troubled Come early mornin' I'll be home and satisfied
Vous apprendrez un jour mes fils vous apprendrez Pourquoi nous reposons sous terre Le livre à moitié lu le chant interrompu Et la besogne inachevée
Ne pleurez plus mes fils mes fils ne pleurez plus Le monde entier saura le pourquoi du mensonge Et de la calomnie le monde entier saura Nos pleurs et notre peine
Joyeux et vert mes fils mes fils joyeux et vert Sera le monde au-dessus de nos tombes Les tueries cesseront la terre fleurira Dans la paix fraternelle
Travaillez construisez mes fils un monument À l'amour à la joie à la valeur humaine Et à la foi que nous avons gardée Pour vous mes fils mes fils pour vous

Doin' It The Hard Way
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen - Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Betty Hutton
At the early age of three It first occured to me A girl should always try to improve herself While the others played with toys I practiced charm and poise And finished Dr. Elliot's five foot shell I exercised each morning Cold creamed my face each night Saw my dentist twice a year Curbed my appetite And so I modestly admit It didn't help one single bit!
Some girls can make any man dream By flashing an innocent gleam Me, I do and hiccup, curl my upper lip up Light a roman candle and scream I have to do it the hard way!
Some girls can wear any old rags And capture the wolves and the stags Me, I dress in sables, walk across the tables Waving three American flags I have to do it the hard way
Let's say there's a dance They're playing a waltz And I want romance That's when I begin turning sommersalts
Some girls can keep men on their toes By smiling and throwing a rose Me, I wrack my noodle, whistle "Yankee Doodle" Balancing a broom on my nose Oh Ima telling you why! I have to do it the hard way I have to do it the hard way
Suppose there's a park A boy on a bench I'm out for a lark So I make him fall with a monkey wrench
When someone like Hedy Lamarr Steps into the swankiest bar All the fellas get up Light her cigarette up Me, I'd have to smoke a cigar And then they call me a car
Dr., is there a chance for me? Can't you cure this insanity? I'm tired of tearing up the town being one of the sights Wearing funny hats trimmed in neon lights Why must all I always be bettered and scorned Doin' everything the hard way?
Padre Of Old San Antone Composer(s): Tim Spencer Performer(s): Jim Reeves; Richard O'Brien
I strolled to an old mission garden And as I was kneeling alone An arm gently fell on my shoulder It was the Padre of Old San Antone
We went for a walk in the garden And as we were talking alone He told why he came to the mission To the mission in Old San Antone
Then the chapel bells, they rang And an angel chorus sang Mi amor del cielo, my love from the sky From the sky
Then he kneeled down to pray in the garden And whispered, mi amor, mi corazón, my love, my heart Then I knew that his love was an angel The Padre of Old San Antone
Then the chapel bells, they rang And an angel chorus sang Mi amor del cielo From the sky
Then he kneeled down to pray in the garden And whispered, mi amor, mi corazon Then I knew that his love was an angel The Padre of Old San Antone
Padre Mío Composer(s): Luis Demetrio Performer(s): Javier Solís; Julio Jaramillo
Tú que todo lo puedes Padre mío que eres dueño del mundo e infinito ayúdame a encontrar un amor bueno para depositarlo ante tu seno
Tú que has sido el más grande peregrino permíteme seguir por tu camino Permíteme sufrir como has sufrido para poder ser digno de tu cielo
Enséñame a querer como tú quieres con toda la bondad que tú posees Y así cuando me mandes el amor que yo te pido lo voy a hacer feliz con un cariño al tuyo parecido
Enséñame a querer como tú quieres con toda la bondad que tú posees Y así cuando me mandes el amor que yo te pido lo voy a hacer feliz con un cariño al tuyo parecido
Do It To Someone You Love
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Tom T. Hall
and multiple other artists
The words I love you come easy To the lips of a liar or a fool If love talking is what you're thinking of Then do it to someone you love
Do it to someone you love Some little things to let them know They're all you're thinking of This day and time a little thing You do could mean so much So do it to someone you love
A smile comes easy to a strange hello To someone that you never met But an old love don't need that smile It glows with just a touch So do it to someone you love
Si No Oigo A Mi Corazón Composer(s): Pedro Aznar Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
Ah, cuanto tiempo perdido en pensar que la vida se puede explicar Con veneno intenté curación ¿por qué confié en mi razón?
Ya en un mar de palabras me ahogué y fue en vano quererlas creer Pero al fin el castillo cayó y adentro sólo estoy yo
Vos ya sabías que todo es parcial que no hay mapa que enseñe a viajar que es el alma quien debe cantar Que sólo un tonto se pone a correr cuando la lluvia le besa los pies
Sirve el tiempo su mismo licor que cada año acelera el temor que en mi copa se amargue el sabor si no oigo a mi corazón
Paddy McGinty's Goat (Traditional) Performer(s): Val Doonican
Mister Patrick McGinty, an Irishman of note Came into a fortune, so bought himself a goat Said he, "Sure, of goat's milk I mean to have my fill!" But when he got his Nanny home, he found it was a Bill
And now all the ladies who live in Killaloo Are all wearing bustles like their mothers used to do They each wear a bolster beneath the petticoat And leave the rest to Providence and Paddy McGinty's goat!
Missis Burke to her daughter said, "Listen, Mary Jane Now who was the man you were cuddling in the lane? He'd long wiry whiskers all hanging from his chin" "Twas only Pat McGinty's goat", she answer'd with a grin
Then she went away from the village in disgrace She came back with powder and paint upon her face She'd rings on her fingers, and she wore a sable coat You bet your life they never came from Paddy McGinty's goat
Little Norah McCarthy the knot was going to tie She washed all her trousseau and hung it out to dry Then up came the goat and he saw the bits of white He chewed up all her falderals, and on her wedding night
"Oh turn out the gas quick!" she shouted out to Pat For though l'm your bride, sure l'm not worth looking at I'd got two of ev'rything, I told you when I wrote But now I've one of nothing, all thro' Paddy McGinty's goat'
Mickey Riley he went to the races t'other day He won twenty dollars and shouted, "Hip Hooray!!" He held up the note, shouting "Look what I've got!" The goat came up and grabbed at it and swallowed all the lot
"He's eaten my banknote," said Mickey, with the hump They ran for the doctor, he brought a stomach pump He pumped and he pumped for that twenty dollar note But all he got was ninepence out of Paddy McGinty's goat
Now old Paddy's Goat had a wonderous appetite and one day for breakfast he ate some dynamite A whole box of matches he swallowed all serene and then he went and gobbled up a quart of paraffin
He sat by the fireside, he didn't give a hang swallowed a spark and exploded and exploded with a bang SO if you go to heaven you can bet a dollar note.... that the Angel with the whiskers on is Paddy McGinty's Goat
Do You Ever Fool Around?
Composer(s): Don Griffin - Jerry Strickland
Performer(s): Joe Stampley; Moe Bandy
If the time and the place was right Would you meet me some time late at night And make love like we both need to Is this something we could do It takes a lotta nerve to take a chance It would be worth it for the sweetest romance Hope we can get together come time Now here's the question that's on my mind Do you ever fool around Could you lay your wings aside Does an angel ever touch the ground Do you ever fool around I know this would be a first time thing To make love outside your ring You're not free and you have your doubts But with this feeling we'll work it out 'Cause there's a need deep inside that's yours You won't say yes but you won't say no And no matter how hard you try
You can't hide the want that's in your eyes Do you ever fool around Could you lay your wings aside Does an angel ever touch the ground Do you ever fool around
