Slim Slow Slider Composer(s): Van Morrison First release by: Van Morrison - 1968
Slim slow slider Horse you ride White as snow Slim slow slider Horse you ride Is white as snow Tell it everywhere you go Saw you walking Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning Saw you walking Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning Catching pebbles for some sandy beach You're out of reach Saw you early this morning With your brand new boy and your Cadillac Saw you early this morning With your brand new boy and your Cadillac You're gone for something And I know you won't be back I know you're dying, baby And I know you know it, too I know you're dying And I know you know it, too Everytime I see you I just don't know what to do

Sleigh Ride In July Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
If I were the type to play around It wouldn't be so bad, But I didn't know my way around And what a time I had!
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight
So, the big romance was only make believe Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve My dreams were safe all winter And then to think that I Was taken for a sleigh ride in July

Well, I tried to run my game She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before" And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap let's go, Let's look at the show We're riding in a wonderland of snow Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap it's grand, Just holding your hand We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray It'll be the perfect ending a of perfect day We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop! pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

She was morning and I was night time I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed I softly said, "Come take me" For I've been lonely, in need of someone As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere, but I don't know where I don't know where, come lately You are the sun, I am the moon You are the words, I am the tune, play me
Song, she sang to me, song she brang to me Words that rang in me, rhyme that sprang from me warmed the night And what was right became me You are the sun, I am the moon You are the words, I am the tune, play me
She was morning and I was night time I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed I softly said, "Come take me" So it was that I came to travel Upon a road that was thorned and narrow, another place Another grace would save me You are the sun, I am the moon You are the words, I am the tune, play me
You are the sun, I am the moon, You are the words, I am the tune, .....play........ me
De Oude Muzikant First performance by: Ben Cramer - 1973
Door de straten van Parijs Klinkt nog steeds dezelfde wijs Van die oude muzikant Je hoort 'm al aan de overkant
Eens was hij toch heel beroemd Altijd werd zijn naam genoemd Nu is hij heel oud en grijs Ouder dan de stad Parijs
Door de straten, over pleinen Klinkt dat ene lied Die melodie zal nooit verdwijnen Ook al ken je hem niet Eenzaam zijn nu al zijn dagen Niemand die hem nog kent Hij speelt op zijn accordeon En denkt aan hoe het eens begon Het leven is nu grauw en grijs In de straten van Parijs
Zijn vrienden kennen hem niet meer Maar kijken nu nog op hem neer Hij speelt voor geld nog op de straat Voor 's morgens vroeg tot 's avonds laat
Niemand die nog op hem wacht Maar soms is het of hij weer lacht Hij was beroemd in 't hele land Die oude grijze muzikant
Door de straten, over pleinen Klinkt dat ene lied Die melodie zal nooit verdwijnen Ook al ken je hem niet Eenzaam zijn nu al zijn dagen Niemand die hem nog kent Hij speelt op zijn accordeon En denkt aan hoe het eens begon Het leven is nu grauw en grijs In de straten van Parijs
Play gypsy, play gypsy Sounds that I love Bring back the springtime to my heart Let me forget you must fade And that love may not stay Play and my sadness will depart
Tune up your gypsy violin Let the dance begin Take me back to joy and laughter Never mind what may come after Play gypsy, play gypsy Sounds that I love Bring back the springtime to my heart
Tune up your gypsy violin Let the dance begin Take me back to joy and laughter Never mind what may come after Play gypsy, play gypsy Sounds that I love Bring back the springtime to my heart
You Are Summer - You Never Tell Me No Composer(s): Monica Dominique; Carl-Axel Dominique; Lars Forsell First performance by: Nova - 1973
Monday morning - the streets are black with rain Under a skylight hovers sad and grey Tuesday waits down the endless dreary day And every day is like the other day
I have you and I long for your carress Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling You're the Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer is glowing you Summer, since knowing you You are Summer, you never tell me no Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer, you never tell me no
Times are stale and the days are long and slow There is no song can make me laugh and swing Half past four, I pack up and home I go Home to the point and fear the evenings bring
I have you and I long for your carress Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling You're the Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer is glowing you Summer, since knowing you You are Summer, you never tell me no Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer, you never tell me no
I have you and I long for your carress Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling You're the Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer is glowing you Summer, since knowing you You are Summer, you never tell me no You are Summer, you never tell me no
Play Guitar Play Composer(s): Conway Twitty Performer(s): Conway Twitty; Charley Pride
Play, guitar play Take me back to yesterday Let me see, cotton growing, in the fields Let me hear, my momma calling Look a-yonder ya-all who's coming Down the road, he's a coming home But they know I never will
I left them living with that awful thing I done I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run
Play, guitar play Help me through another day Help me make another dollar, before I go We got time, for one more song Then we'll have to move along Another town, another crowd Lord I wonder if they know
Can they read between the lines in my song As I sing about a good boy that's went wrong Guitar we got years to kill We got to climb that distant hill I wonder if they think of me Guitar play
Sleepy Hollow Composer(s): Harold G. Frost; Lemuel Fowler; Henri Klickmann
Sweetheart, I've been dreaming of a by gone day When you said you loved me so Silv'ry stars are gleaming just to light my way Seems they know that I want to go
Underneath the willow 'neath a sky of blue While the moonlight softly beams I will make my pillow while I dream of you Once again I will stroll in dreams
Back to Sleepy Hollow, Sleepy Hollow Where I first met you I'll dream again, all the dream we knew I'll dream again dear, of your sweet eyes of blue In the shadows falling you are calling As you used to do While the mem'ries follow "Sleepy Hollow" Where I first met you
Play A Simple Melody Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Bing Crosby; and various other artists
Won't you play some simple melody Like my mother sang to me One with a good old-fashioned harmony Play some simple melody
Musical demon, set your honey a-dreaming, won't you play me some rag Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy you'll get all my applause And that is simply because I want to listen to rag
Won't you play some simple melody (Musical demon, set your honey a-dreaming, won't you play me some rag) Like my mother sang to me (Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag) One with a good old-fashioned harmony (If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy, you'll get all my applause) Play some simple melody (And that is simply because I want to listen to rag)
