If I Give You My Love Composer(s): Herbert Leventhal Performer(s): Ray Charles and multiple other artists
If I give you my love, what will you give in return If I give you my love, will you cause my heart to yearn And will it bring me sadness, with so many tears And will it bring me gladness, all through out the years
If I give you my word, will you give me your word too If I vow to yours, promise me that you'll be true Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned If I give you my love what will you give in return
Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned If I give you my love, what will you give in return
Katy
Theme from the TV Show "The Ann Sothern Show"
Composer(s): Bonnie Lake; Ann Sothern
Katy, all the fellahs fall for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
Katy, they'll give their all for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) makes 'em whistle for more
She'll out-twinkle any star above
When you see her passin' by
Just one look and they all fall in love
She's the apple of their eye
Oh my, Katy
Katy, all the fellahs call for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
They want more, more, more, more, more
Of Katy
If I Give My Soul Composer(s): Billy Joe Shaver First release by: Billy Joe Shaver - 1993 Covered by multiple other artists
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man I had a steady job, till I started into drinking And I started making music that went with the devil's band
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again
If I give my soul, will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin' If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking If I give my soul, will my son love me again If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
Katy
Composer(s): Marc Aryan
Performer(s): Marc Aryan
Ô! Katy, Katy
Je revois souvent
Ce petit coin discret
Dans ce vieux restaurant
L'air, près de la mer
Les rumeurs du port
Dispensaient à la nuit
Bien plus de charme encore!
Je t'aimais, Katy
Je t'aimais déjà
Mais tous les mots d'amour
Restaient au fond de moi
Par délicatesse, Katy
Pour un premier soir
Et parce je pensais
Qu'on pourrait se revoir
Maintenant Katy
Que je suis parti
Vers d'autres horizons
Si loin de ton pays
Je puis te le dire, Katy
Même le gai soleil
De mon midi
N'a pas chassé ton nom
Si doux, du fond de mon esprit!
Katy Daley Composer(s): Ralp Stanley Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers: Roy Lee Centers; The Lonesome River Band
With her old man she came from Tiperary In the pioneering days of '42 Her old man was shot in tombstone City For the making of his good old mountain dew
Come on down the mountain Katy Daley Come on down the mountain Katy do Can't you hear us calling Katy Daley We want to drink your good old mountain dew
Wake up and pay attention Katy Daley For I'm the judge that's gonna sentence you All the boys in court have drunk your whiskey To tell the truth I like a little too
So to the jail they took poor Katy Daley But pretty soon the gates were open wide Angels came for poor ole Katy Daley Took her far across the great divide
If I Fell (French Version: Si Je Te Donne Mon Coeur - 1992) Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney First release by: The Beatles - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
If I fell in love with you Would you promise to be true And help me understand 'cause I've been in love before And I found that love was more Than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you I must be sure From the very start That you would love me more than her
If I trust in you oh please Don't run and hide If I love you too oh please Don't hurt my pride like her 'cause I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I Would love to love you And that she will cry When she learns we are two 'cause I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I Would love to love you And that she will cry When she learns we are two If I fell in love with you
Katy Did Composer(s): Porter Wagoner Performer(s): Porter Wagoner
Two sisters lived alone out in the country Their names were Katy and her sister Liz They farmed to raise the food that graced their table Liz never went to town but Katy did
Katy went to town each Saturday morning To sell the eggs and buy for her and Liz Their only needs just some salt and sugar They grew the rest, her and sister Liz
Liz never went to town like Katy did Liz never knew a man, but Katy did For I saw them one evening when they thought they were hid And you should've seen the things that him and Katy did
I walked by Liz and Katy's house each evening Through the woods on my way home from school Then one evening Katy smiled and spoke so softly As I stood there blushing like a fool
Then she asked me if I'd like to have some cookies That she baked for her and sister Liz Then as Katy took me in their kitchen I never closed the door, but Katy did
She took my hand and my heart beat so wildly It sound like coffee a perking with no lid And I shook so bad, I even dropped my cookies I didn't know of love, but Katy did
Liz never knew a man, but Katy did She said it's lonely here with sister Liz But I just kept on eatin' cookies, I was just a dumb kid I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did
Oh, I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did
If I Ever Make You Cry Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
If I ever make you cry Long as I live, may my eyes never smile again If I ever make you cry All through my life May my lips never laugh again And if you should find that I Have been untrue, may I never spend a happy day And may I never hear, somebody say Tender word (like I love you) A tender voice (say I need you) I make a vow, right here and now That I will live To love you
If I ever make you cry Long as I live, may the world turn away from me If I ever make you cry - even once All through my life, may my dreams never come to be And if I should ever Ever Break your heart May I never, see the sun appear And may I go through life, and never hear ah! Tender voice, (say I love you), your precious voice Say I need you Come to my arms, my waiting arms, and softly say You love Me!
Katy Did, Katy Didn't From the film "Mr. Bug Goes To Town" Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Frank Loesser Performer(s: George Formby; The Four Marshals, Stan Freed & Pauline Loth
There's a burning, burning question
concerning Katy Brown And there's a bit of a suggestion
on the way they talk in town
Who came to Sunday school with cherries on her lids Katy did, (Katy didn't,) Katy did, (Katy didn't) Katy did, (Katy didn't), Oh, she did
And who kissed the banker's boy and ran away and hid Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) Katy did, (Katy didn't), Oh, she did
Gracious what a scandal, every other girl would cry She can't hold a candle to somebody such as I
But who got the banker's boy and fifty thousand quid Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) You can bet your life she did
And who made the football team break training in the spring Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy didn't do a thing
And who dubbed the candy man for candy all the time Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (no she didn't) (She did), She didn't need a dime
Gracious ain't it awful, all the other girls would wail Really it's unlawful why she ought to go to jail
But who got the banker's boy, the tall and handsome kid Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) You can bet your life she did
Now who plays the clarinet and makes the darned thing wail And who blows the trombone and he tells a woeful tale
Gracious ain't it awful, all the other band boys shout He can't blow his trumpet now it's time to throw him out
And who plays the uke and nearly busted all his strings (Georgie did), Georgie didn't, (Georgie did), No I didn't You can bet your life he did
If I Ever Lose This Heaven Composer(s): Pam Sawyer; Leon Ware First release by: Quincy Jones - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same
When you're kind, extra kind Then suddenly you're crossed You're so moody, you get to me Still can't turn you off You're fascinating, more fascinating Than the dark side of the moon You're so exciting, that I'm re-writing The book of love called "You"
Oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same
Kaw-Liga
Composer(s): Fred Rose; Hank Williams Sr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Sr.;
and various other artists
Verse 1:
Kaw-Liga was a wooden indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no
Verse 2:
He always wore his sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine
Chorus:
Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-Liga,that poor old wooden head
Verse 3:
Kaw-Liga was a lonely indian, never went nowhere
His heart was set on the indian maid with the coal black hair
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no
Chorus:
Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-Liga,that poor old wooden head
Verse 4:
Then one day a wealthy customer bought the indian maid
And took her oh so far away, but old kaw-liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree
Chorus:
Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-Liga,that poor old wooden head
Kaw-liga, Kaw-liga Kaw-Liga....

Had ik dan een reden om hier te zijn, in dit aards paradijs wachtend op de ochtendzon?
stel nu dat jij niet bestond hoezeer zou ik jou missen dan? welke kleur, welke geur, geef ik dan aan t groots en grandioos portret dat ik voor jou had klaargezet
stel dat jij verdwijnen zou herinnering als een vage flard als een flirt, hoe je kirt, en je lacht alles wat ons samenbracht wat waren wij toch soms verward...
stel nu dat jij niet bestond had ik dan een reden om hier te zijn, in dit aards paradijs wachtend op de ochtendzon?
zeg mij dat je wel bestaat en dat het slechts om dromen ging die mij s nachts, overdag, en op straat vervolgen maar dan plotseling verdwijnen als een tinteling...
