All My Heroes Are Dead
Composer(s): Dar Williams
Performer(s): Dar Williams



You gotta admit Life magazine made 1968 look great
My father said it sucked, everybody died
All the troops you couldn't save, no one knew how to be brave
He said sometimes you were afraid to turn your radio on
It was enough to make you quit that peacenick scene
Well I heard about leaders, yeah I heard they're no longer around
Cause peace was abandoned, and bravery hanged in his town
And they passed down a sentence for building on the beauty of some dream

All my heroes are dead, I got them in my head, saying
Never again, never a war, no more fighting
So I'll stay true to them, and they'll come home again
I'll carry the light, follow the dream, I'll remember

The '68 convention was a singing the times they are a-changing
Well I guess they a-changed back
Oh I miss those peaceful folk, love and humor when they spoke, hey
Phil Ochs you still sound great, should've stuck around to hear it
They say that compact disc makes songs come true
But Phil I never expected that I'd miss you like a friend
Cause I never expected that we'd be marching again
And the soldiers of peace would tumble from this life as in a war

All my heroes are dead, and all the books I read
Said "This is greed, this is wrong, fight your war at home"
So I'll stay true to them, and they'll come home again
I'll carry the light, follow the dream, I'll remember

So back to the present passion, romance, love, or simply put a lack thereof
Shall we go on?
I don't take it personally, it's our post-modern history
You know since Nixon was impeached it's just been hard to commit
So we cast our allegance left and right
But I always believed that our souls would come through
So I never expected that you'd take her home with you
And I never detected, how hardened and not sorry you could be 
Don't you know?
All our heroes are dead, we got ourselves instead
And oh my friend, all your lies, they won't do you
You gotta stay true to them, and they'll come home again
I miss them too, I miss them too, you know I miss them more than I love you

(The kitchen 
Joe is shelling peas 
The show boat is rocking violently on the swollen river 
A lurch of the boat sends the boat of shelled peas to the floor 
Joe looks down at them dubiously
Queenie enters)

Queenie:
Joe! Dere you go again! Look at dem peas all over de floor!

Joe:
River done it...

Queenie:
De river done it?!?

Joe:
Ol' river can do mos' anything, Queenie
Look out dere what it's doin' now - won't be letting us give no show tonight
(Queenie gets on her knees and proceeds
to put the peas back in the bowl)

Queenie;
Show? Dat don't worry me none 
Dere's somethin' else on dis ol' boat worries me mo'

Joe:
Miss Nola?

Queenie:
Dat's what...

Joe
She be all right

Queenie:
Dat's what you say 'bout ev'rythin' 
You don't get excited
Why? 'Cause you don't do nuthin' 
You don' cook like me
You don' act like the show folk 
You don' work on the tow boat 
What do you do?

Joe:
Well, I jes' shelled dem peas

Queenie:
(snorting)
You ain't pickin' dem up

Joe:
No, but I could've ef you didn't do it 
I could do a lot of things ef it wuz necessary

Queenie:
Den why don'cha?

Joe:
It ain't necessary...
(He starts to sing, extemporaneously rhyming, stating his mood of the moment 
He sings as Queenie goes about her work)

Joe:
Keep on a-naggin'
'n bullyraggin'
'n criticizin'
'n call me pizen
Ah ain't apologizin', no siree!
No matter what you say
Ah still suits me
De rag you're chewin'

Keep right on knockin'
Keep right on mockin'
Mah rockin' chair ain't rockin'
No siree!
No matter what you say
Ah still suits me

Queenie:
(coming over to him, belligerently)
Does you ever wash the dishes?
Does you do the things I wishes?
Does you do dem?
No, you don't!
Will you do dem?
No, you won't!
When dere's any workin' to it
I'm de one dat's gotta do it!
When it's rainin' who's the feller
Uses up the whole umbreller?
Selfish as a man can be!

Joe:
(looking up blandly)
No matter what you say
Ah still suits me

Queenie:
You don' make money!

Joe:
Ah know dat, honey!

Queenie:
I never see none!

Joe:
Ain't gonna be none
But dat don' worry me none
No siree!

Queenie:
Shif'less! Lifeless! No good!

Joe:
No matter what you say
Ah still suits me

I may be no good
No good fo' yo' good
I may be lifeless
But wid one wife less
Mah life would be mo' strifeless
Yes siree!
No matter what you say
Ah still suits me

(imitating Queenie with falsetto exaggeration)
Does you ever wash de dishes?
Does you do de things ah wishes?
Does you do dem?
No you don't!
Will you do dem?
No, you won't!

Queenie:
(interrupting)
Always imitatin' me
An' always aggravation' me!
Den in spite of ev'rything
'Spite of all de grief you bring
'Xpectin' me to love you true!

Joe:
No matter what you say
Ah thinks you do
(He reaches out and pulls her to him affectionately
She roars with glee) 

When Did You Leave Heaven?
Composer(s): Richard Whiting; Walter Bullock
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong;
and various other artists



When did you leave Heaven
How could they let you go
How's ev'rything in Heaven
I'd like to know

Why did you trade Heaven
For all these earthly things
Where did you hide your halo
Where did you lose your wings

Have they missed you
Can you get back in
If I kissed you
Would it be a sin

I am only human
But you are so divine
When did you leave Heaven
Angel mine?

Ooooh, have they missed you
Can you get back in
If I should kiss you
Would it be a sin

I am only human
But you are so divine
When did you leave Heaven
Angel mine

When did you leave Heaven
Angel mine

Aguila Del Norte
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson



Did anybody see them?
I heard there was a baby
Somebody heard her crying 
Weaker through the night

They beat her mama bloody
And shot her with her daddy
It was the terror from above
El Aguila Del Norte

Down in Nicaragua
Running from the shadows
Striking holy terror
Deeper in the heart

You believe in Freedom
And you believe in justice
But not in Nicaragua
Not in Nicaragua

Aguila Del Norte
We can see your power
And the beauty of your freedom
What is in your heart?

You believe in honor
And you believe in Jesus
But not in Nicaragua
Not in Nicaragua 

When At Night I Go To Sleep
((German Version: Abendsegen (by Kathleen Battle))
Composer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
Performer(s): Charlotte Church



When at night I go to sleep
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding
Two my feet are guiding
Two are on my right hand
Two are on my left hand
Two who warmly cover
Two who o’er me hover
Two to whom ’tis given
To guide my steps to heaven

Sleeping sofly, then it seems
Heaven enters in my dreams
Angels hover round me
Whisp'ring they have found me
Two are sweetly singing
Two are garlands bringing
Strewing me with roses
As my soul reposes
God will not forsake me
When dawn at last will wake me

All My Ex's Live In Texas
Composer(s): Sanger D. Schafer - Lyndia Shafer
Performer(s): George Strait



All my ex's live in Texas
and Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
but all my ex's live in Texas
and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Rosanna's down in Texarkana
wanted me to push her broom
Sweet EileenÕs in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
and Allison & Otilde's in Galveston
somehow lost her sanity
and Dimple & Otilde's who now lives in Temple's
got the law looking for me

All my ex's live in Texas
and Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
but all my ex's live in Texas
and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

I remember that old Frio River
where I learned to swim
but it brings to mind another time
where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
but I always come back to myself
long before daylight

All my ex's live in Texas
and Texas is the place Id dearly love to be
but all my ex's live in Texas
therefore I reside in Tennessee

Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
but I'm alive and well in Tennessee

Creo en el padre y en el hombre
pero no creo en el mar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
en las mareas sobreviven
las ballenas con radar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?

Hay una niña que hoy empieza
con muñecas a jugar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
desde el cielo la vigila
una estrella de metal

Por qué a la Luna se la juegan
como en mesa de billar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
unos arriba, otros abajo,
nadie quiere la mitad
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?

Y de qué lado quedaremos
cuando llegue el final
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
éntrate niña que allá afuera
el invierno va a llegar…

Un marinero llamado Colón
viajó de la noche al sol
y un astronauta que ayer jubiló
se sienta en la plaza
su tiempo se escapa
del cielo lo mira un gorrión.

En la mitad de este viaje
hoy me pongo a pensar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
la diferencia es tan grande
entre un sueño y la verdad…
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?

Allá en lo alto está volando
el valiente Superman
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
mas abajo un campesino
busca tierra pa´ sembrar

Creo en el padre y en el hombre
pero creo más en ti
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
siento que existe un horizonte
que comienza en tu jardín
¿Por qué? ¿por qué?

Allá en tu patio hay una niña
que hoy empieza a caminar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
Por qué la noche se hace corta
cuando aún quiero soñar…

When April Comes Again
Composer(s): Doris Schaefer; Randy Weston
Performer(s): Mel Tormé;
and various other artists



If you can't remember now, if love has lost its way
If romance grows dim with each passing day
If you've forgotten how we met in April rain
Wait 'til April comes again

When robins return, and spring has softened winter's chill
Will you then recall? 
Will your heart stand still?
Will you remember how we met in April rain?
Love me when April comes again

Will you remember how we met in April rain?
And love me when April comes? 
It may not come for long
I will always love you when April comes again

Agua Dulce, Agua Sala
Composer(s): Hal Batt - Estéfano Donato
Performer(s): Julio Iglesias 
and multiple other artists



Con el pasar de los años he aprendido en la vida
que se vive intensamente porque si no te termina...
...el cariño es más bueno
Se aprecia lo que se tiene y se respeta lo ajeno
Agua dulce, agua sala´, por agua viene, por agua se va...
...Bendita la vida, te quita te da
Agua que cae del cielo sobre las olas del mar
yo te quiero beber dulce y tú te pones salá...
...hay que dar bien los pasos
tomar el mejor camino aunque se te haga el más largo...
...de las penas se aprende
El corazón se hace duro y el sentimiento más fuerte...

When Angels Cry
Composer(s): Janis Ian
Performer(s): Janis Ian



Wait
Your tired arms must rest
Let this moment pass
Wait until the morning
Close your eyes and let me see
who you used to be
Left without a warning
Who knew one so big could grow so small
Lighter than the writing on the wall

When angels cry, can I stand by
When stones weep, can my heart sleep
Wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
The power of a four-letter word

Only love will matter in the end
For woman or for man
What's the difference now?
Here, we live with bottles
and needles and truth
Here is your living proof
that death cannot be proud
Some say it's a judgement on us all
I can't believe that God could be that small

When angels cry, can I stand by
When stones weep, can my heart sleep
Wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
The power of a four-letter word

If ever was a heart that longed to fly
If ever was a soul that longed to bloom
If ever was an angel, it was you
So close your eyes and say goodbye
Goodbye

When angels cry, I can't stand by
When stones weep, my heart can't sleep
Guess I've finally learned
Guess I've finally learned
Yes, I've finally learned
Love is just a four letter word
Hope is just a four letter word

Agua De La Luna
Composer(s): De Benedictis Fandermole
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Como si cerrara los ojos
hasta el final de los oceanos
pensare que tengo descanso
de hacerme polvo de estos sueños
que en la calle hay luna
piedra que un dia podre nombrar
Agua de la luna
agua de la luna

Preguntare de vida en vida
de quien serian esos ojos
y aquella piel apenas vista
en un recuerdo a medio borrar
una sed absurda
que nunca nadie pudo calmar
Agua de la luna
agua de la luna

Tenemos nombres tan remotos
y la mirada hecha
del mismo material de los espejos
que caen hacia los dos abismos.
no se soy quien queda
o el recuerdo del que ya se fue
agua de la luna
quiero agua de la luna
para esta sed
agua de luna
agua de la luna
quien podra beber
agua de la luna
agua de la luna, imposible 

When A Woman Loves A Man
Composer(s): Mark Luna; Rafe VanHoy
Performer(s): Lee Roy Parnell



She plays her cards close to the vest
To hide the heart she wears on her sleeve
Sometimes she's caught between the woman that she is
and the one she's expected to be
But with an innocent smile
And the should of a child
She's always giving more than she can

When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man

She knows how to hang on your every word
And she knows how to look the other way
She'll whisper to you what no man has heard
Secrets she would never give away

With her arms opened wide
She'll take you inside
And hold you in the palm of her hand

When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man
She will be there to the end
When a woman loves a man

And when all you've got to give her
Is nothing more than a dream
She'll sacrifice for love to prove to you
Her mind's made up
To stand by you through everything

When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man
She will be there to the end
When a woman loves a man

When A Woman Loves A Man
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Bernard Hanighen; Gordon Jenkins
Performer(s): Dinah Washington;
and various other artists



Maybe he's not much
Just another man, doing what he can
But what does she care when a woman loves a man?

She'll just string along
All through thick and thin till his ship comes in
That's how it goes when a woman loves a man

She'll be the first one to praise him when he's goin' strong
The last one to blame him when ev'rything is wrong
It's such a one-sided game that they play
But women are funny that way

Tell her she's a fool
She'll say yes, I know, but I love him so
That's how it goes when a woman loves a man

Your love is rain
My heart the flower
I need your love or I will die
My very life is your power
Will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
The rain can fall
On distant deserts
The rain can fall upon the sea
The rain can fall upon the flower
Since the rain has to fall let it fall on me
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink

When A Soldier Knocks And Finds Nobody Home
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Moon Mullican; Lou Wayne
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



I’m alone with all my sorrow
It’s so hard to face tomorrow
'Cause I knocked and no one met me at the door

I have asked the next door neighbor
What you’ve packed and went away for
But they only say; You don’t live here no more

When I sailed across the blue
I thought I could count on you
But I’ve come back home sweetheart to find you gone

It’s a shame you couldn’t be here
What a sorry sight to see here
When A Soldier Knocks And Finds Nobody Home

Ah do it pretty Billy

When I sailed across the blue
I thought I could count on you
But I’ve come back home sweetheart to find you gone

It’s a shame you couldn’t be here
What a sorry sight to see here
When A Soldier Knocks And Finds Nobody Home

Agua Clara pa beber
de mi mano te daré
Agua Clara pa beber

Fuente Pura que ha escapao
con Arroyo del Edén
van tocaos en el costao...

Agua Pura al río va
se le entrubia la mira
¡qué fatiga en su caudal!

Agua Clara que me envenena
este amor que se me enciende y me quema
Ay! mi corazón

Luna se quiere espejar
yo, clamar mi sed
ni ella se puede mirar
ni yo beber
novia con cola de pez
que inquietante es
turbia y serena a la vez
siento que es...

Agua Clara que me envenena
este amor que se me enciende y me quema
Agua Clara, lluvia de mayo
es un aguamor que me ahoga despacio
Agua Clara que me envenena
Ay! mi corazón

Agua Clara pa beber
de mi mano no podré
darte el agua pa beber

Agua Clara que me envenena
este amor que se me enciende y me quema
Agua Clara me arde en las venas
este amor se va hacia el mar de la pena
Ay! mi corazón

When A Man Loves A Woman
Composer(s): Calvin Lewis; Andrew Wright
Performer(s): Percy Sledge



When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd change the world for the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
When a man loves a woman
He'll spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
Well, this man loves you, woman
I gave you everything I have
Tryin' to hold on to your hot blood long
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playin' him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman
he can do her no wrong
he can never hug
some other girl
Yes, when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, you're 
When a man loves a woman....

Agricultural Irish Girl
Composer(s): J.F. Mitchell
Performer(s): Val Doonican



If all the girls in Ireland
Were gathered up together
There's none like my Mary Ann
In every kind of weather
The rain won't wash the powder off her face
She doesn't wear it
And her figure and face are all her own
The truth I must declare it

She's a fine stout lump
Of agricultural Irish girl
Her face is worth a fortune
And her figure is all her own
She can strike that hard you would think
That you were hit by the kick of a mule
But the full of a house of Irish love 
Is Mary Ann Malone

She was never e-d-u-cated
She doesn't know her letters
But she's all a lady wants my boys
And better than her betters
She doesn't speak ital-i-an
Or read the sporting papers
But she knows the horse will win the race
She knows the form by jabers

She was only seventeen last year
But still she's growing greatly
I wonder what her form will be
When she fills out completely
You's think your hand was in a vice
The minute that she'd take it
And if there's any cake at hand
Tis Mary Ann will ate it

She's a fine stout lump
Of agricultural Irish girl
Her face is worth a fortune
And her figure is all her own
She can strike that hard you would think
That you were hit by the kick of a mule
But the full of a house of Irish love 
Is Mary Ann Malone

For she's a fine stout lump
Of an agricultural Irish girl
Her face is worth a fortune
And her figure is all her
But she can hit that hard....Oooh
You'ld think it the kick of a mule you got
The fill of your arms of Irish love
Is Mary Ann Malone 

When A Guitar Plays The Blues
Performer(s): Albert Collins



You get the strangest kinda feelin' 
that's when the guitar plays the blues
I say, you get the strangest kinda feelin' 
that's when a guitar plays the blues
Your body gets the message 
and you know, you know, your soul has just got to move

You might even bat your eye
You might even snap or cry
The feelin' you're feelin' within you babe
You know you just can't hide

You're kinda strokin' like that
You're kinda bendin' like this
And it reaches down inside you
And your soul just can't resist
You get the same kinda feelin'
When the guitar plays the blues
Your body sure gets the message
Yes, you know, you know, your soul has just got to move

And when the music is over
And it's time to turn out the lights
You know the blues goes home with ya
Soothes you through the night

You get the strange kinda feelin'
When the guitar plays the blues
Your body gets the message
And you know, you know, you know
Your soul has just got to move
