Southbound Train
Composer(s): Big Bill Broonzy
First release by: Big Bill Broonzy - 1951



I wonder why that southbound train don't run 
I wonder why that southbound train don't run 
Lord, you don't need no tellin', little girl, you know what you've done 

You made me love you, now, your man done come 
You made me love you, baby, now, your man done come 
Gal, I know you happy, but poor Bill's just a lonely boy 

I'm a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go 
I'm a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go 
Lord, if I can make it to the lowland, I won't have to worry no more 

Standin' at the station, Lord, waitin' for a train 
Standin' at the station, Lord, I was just waitin' for a train 
Lord, deep down in my poor heart, baby, that a lie don't ache in pain 

I've got my ticket, Mr. conductor man, can I ride 
I've got my ticket, please Mr. conductor man, let me ride 
Lord, if I make it to the lowland, I'll be satisfied

This Time I Mean It
Composer(s): Ebbe Ravn
First performance by: Michael Teschl & Trine Jepsen - 1999



(This time I mean it, oh baby)
 
I don't know what it's all about, but I'm startin' to figure out
Simple songs on the radio kinda colour the way I go
 
Every song holds an inner key to my dreams and my fantasy
Defences down and suddenly all your love comes back to me
 
And this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now
You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how
Tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again
Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
 
Oh... I know what was said and done, it's been hard just to carry on
The sweetest love left a bitter taste, who's to say it was all a waste?
 
Mmm... 'cause in each quarrel, in every fight, there's a lesson 'bout wrong and right
Oh... looking back, I'm sure to say that we learned from yesterday
 
So this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now
You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how
We tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again
Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
 
This time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again

One day a long time from now
I'll say here's to you and here's to me
And here's to a happy anniversary
Very happy anniversary

Southbound
Composer(s): Ned Miller
Performer(s): Hank Snow



Hear the clickety clack of the railroad track
Means the wheels are rollin' and I'm goin' back
To the girl I left in a rundown shack I'm southbound
As the miles rush by I miss her more and more tears in my eyes and my heart is sore
Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door I'm southbound
Southbound to my baby southbound I'm nearly crazy
Gonna take her in my arms and never let her go
Never gonna leave her never ever anymore
Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door I'm southbound

Now the rhythm of the wheels call a memory every mile it comes a little closer to me
Soon it's gonna be reality I'm southbound
My heart keeps sayin' boy you made a mistake
Thought you was a rambler but you're only a fake
This'll be the last trip I'm a gonna make I'm southbound
Southbound to my baby...

Now the night that I left her well she pleaded with me
I know that you're leavin' but it has to be
I'm hopin' that she is a waitin' for me I'm southbound
It's hard to wait till I can see her face I still remember how her sweet lips taste
Not another day am I gonna waste I'm southbound
(Southbound to my baby...)

Happy Anniversary

Performer(s): Roy Rogers



I've watched the gold in your hair turn silver
And the sparkle in your eyes dim more each day
And the clutch of your hands getting weaker
All these things say it wasn't yesterday

So darlin', Happy Anniversary
You've made my life for me
Once again, thanks for the memory
My darlin', Happy Anniversary

The paper we signed has turned yellow
Its crumbling edges tend to tell its age
Its meaning we will cherish forever
But in the book of our lives, it's just a page

So darlin', Happy Anniversary
You've made my life for me
Once again, thanks for the memory
My darlin', Happy Anniversary
My darlin', Happy Anniversary

Living My Life Without You
Composer(s): Stig André Van Eijk - SEM
First performance by: Van Eijk - 1999



Living my life without you – can it be true?
Something is missing, baby
 
Ah yeah... (Oh baby, I know it's you)
 
Nothing feels the same without your loving
I can't stop the rain or wind from blowing
I search inside my soul, try to recover
But life is not the same without my lover
 
(Since you went away) can't sleep
(Since you went away) can't eat
My world is falling apart, oh baby, baby
 
Living my life without you – can it be true?
Something is missing, baby
Living my life without you – what can I do?
I think I'm going crazy, (It's you)
 
(Hey hey... I think I'm going crazy, baby)
(Hey hey...) Ah...
 
Tried a new romance, tried to run away
But nothing really makes sense when you're gone, baby
I never knew how much I needed you, girl
What can I do to get you back in my world?
 
(Since you went away) can't sleep
(Since you went away) can't eat
My world is falling apart
 
Living my life without you – can it be true?
Something is missing, baby
Living my life without you – what can I do?
I think I'm going crazy
 
It's you (Oh baby, I know it's you)
I think I'm going crazy
(Oh babe, what more can I do?) It's you
 
(Hey hey... I think I'm going crazy, baby)
(Hey hey...) Living my life without you
 
(Living my life without you – can it be true?)
Something is missing, baby
Baby... (Living my life without you – what) can I do?
I think I'm going crazy
 
(Living my life without you – can it be true?)
Something is missing, baby
(Living my life without you – what can I do?)
(I think I'm going crazy) I think I'm going crazy
It's you

Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

I'm so happy for you baby
Now that you've found somebody new
I see it in your eyes, Lord it's no surprise
What he can do for you

But when I look back baby
When I look back to what we had
And I know I'm countin' good times
But there were just as many bad

And so I wish you
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

There's a lesson here to learn when your baby ups and leaves you
Carry on, don't feel concerned even though you're so much in love
You need a little help from above, oh

Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

Oh ain't no foolin' with you baby
Only the words are hard to find
You got me tremblin' at the knees
Answer won't you please
Before I lose my mind

This is our fifth year baby
And I feel like I'm in jail, Lord
I'm holding on to this card
Can't seem to get it in the mail
And the card reads ...

Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

Ooh yeah, happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Ah yeah happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

Oh, have a happy anniversary
'Cause I've got you on my mind
Always on my mind

Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary

I’ve been ready for hours and I’m wearing my best
Ordered champagne and flowers and you’re not even dressed
Tonight’s a special night to remember with pride
These twenty happy years since you became my bride
It is all too absurd; you’re so cross and abrupt
But I don’t say a word or you’re bound to erupt
Your peculiar moods I’ve experienced before
So I’ll pour another drink and quietly pace the floor
It’s a quarter to eight as we fretfully wait 
For your little black dress; that was promised by six
Is it just rotten luck when we’re doing the town
That the fates should conspire to let us mortals down
I have seats for a show and it’s opening night
My shoes do not fit me and my suit is too tight
And you sit there and curse, an occasional curse 
And I’ve got a headache that’s quickly getting worse
Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary
They deliver your frock but you’re still in distress
It was past nine o clock when I helped you to dress
I tried to do you up but it wasn’t my day
For then to fill my cup your zipper stuck half way
I got all in a sweat, over anxious and vexed
Will I ever forget the thing that happened next
Your dress came apart with one terrible tear
Your disappointed cries were more than I could bear
At eleven at last, when we got into town
We arrived at the show but the curtain was down
I suggested a bite. No, no you wanted to walk
You had no appetite and no desire to talk
So we strolled for an hour and the evening was sweet
And I bought you a flower from a man in the street
And we kissed on the sidewalk without reason or rhyme
And we knew that our love is stronger than time
Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary

This Nearly Was Mine

Performer(s): Barbara Cook
and multiple other artists



Emily:
One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine

One girl for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine

Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine

I'll keep rememberin' kisses
From lips I've never owned
And all that lovely adventures
That we have never known

One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine

Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight

Now, now I'm alone
Still a-dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!

Happy
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy
Never blew a second chance

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy

Always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss ev'ry night and day

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy

Never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of Lear jets
When I can fly way back home

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy

Nellie:
My doll is as dainty as a sparrow
Her figure is somethin' to applaud
Where she's narrow she's as narrow an arrow
And she's broad where a broad should be broad

A hundred and one pounds of fun
That's my little honey bun!
Get a load of honey bun tonight

I'm speakin' of my Sweetie Pie
Only sixty inches high
Ev'ry inch is packed with dynamite!

Her hair is blond and curly
Her curls are hurly-burly
Her lips are pips!
I call her hips 'Twirly' and 'Whirly'

She's my baby, I'm her pap!
I'm her booby, she's my trap!
I am caught and I don't wanna run
'Cause I'm havin' so much fun with honey bun!

I am caught and I don't wanna run
'Cause I'm havin' so much fun with honey bun!

Believe me sonny!
She a cookie who can cook you 'till you're done
Ain't bein' funny!
Sonny, put your money on my honey bun!

There Is Nothing Like A Dame
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
First performance by: Myron McCormick - 1949
and multiple other artists



We got sunlight on the sand
We got moonlight on the sea
We got mangos and bananas
You can pick right off the tree
We got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of dandy games
What ain't we got?
We ain't got dames

We get packages from home
We get movies we get shows
We get speeches from our skipper
And advice from Tokyo Rose
We get letters doused with perfume
We get dizzy from the smell
What don't we get?
You know darn well

We got nothing to put on a clean white suit for
What we need is what there ain't no substitue for

There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame

We feel restless we feel blue
We feel lonely and in grief
We feel every kind of feeling
But the feeling of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt 
when he met red riding hood
What don't we feel? we don't feel good

Lots of things in life are beautiful but brother
There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever in any shape or form like any other

There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame

Nothing else is built the same
Nothing in the world
Has the soft and wavy frame
Like the silhouette of a dame
 
There's absolutely nothing 
like the frame of a dame

So suppose a dame ain't bright
Or completly free from flaws
Or as faithful as a bird dog
Or as kind as santa clause
It's a waste of time to worry
Over things that they have not
Be thankful for the things they've got

There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame
There are no books like a dame
And nothing looks like a dame
There are no drinks like a dame
And nothing thinks like a dame
Nothing acts like a dame
Or attracts like a dame
There ain't a thing thats wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by putting him near
a girly, womanly, female, feminine dame

Happiness Runs

Donovan; Christine Lavin; Sudhananda



Little pebble upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand
How many years have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
From where I'm lying here in your hand
You to me are but a passing breeze

The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself
Now, you have my blessing, go your way

La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Happiness runs in a circular motion
Falters like a little boat upon the sea
All our souls are deeper than you can see
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Everybody is a part of anything, anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be

Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs
(3x)

Happiness runs in a circular motion
Falters like a little boat upon the sea
All our souls are deeper than you can see
You can have everything if you let yourself be
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, let yourself be

Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



She's not a girl, who misses much
Do roo roo roo roo, oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation Trust

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun - ahaa
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know nobody can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm
Happiness is a warm gun - Yes it is 
Happiness is a warm - Yes it is - gun
Happiness is a warm gun...

Twin Soliloquies
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Ezio Pinza & Emil Pinza
and multiple other artists



Nellie:
Wonder how I'd feel
Livin' on a hillside
Lookin' on an ocean
Beautiful and still

Emile:
This is what I need
This is what I've longed for
Someone young and smilin'
Climbin' up my hill!

Nellie:
We are not alike
Probably I'd bore him
He's a cultured Frenchman
I'm a little hick

Emile:
Younger man than I
Officers and doctors
Probably pursue her
She could have her pick

Nellie:
Wonder why I feel
Jittery and jumpy!
I'm like a school girl
Waitin' for a dance

Emile:
Can I ask her now?
I'm like a school boy!
What will be her answer?
Do I have a chance?

Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; E.Y. "Yip" Harburg
Performer(s): Ethel Waters;
and various other artists



It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilac wanta grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by

Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare
Then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Troubles fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good, that's all I need to know

Seems like happiness, is just a thing called Joe

Little Joe, little Joe, little Joe
