The Bramble Bush Composer(s): Frank De Vol - Mack David Performer(s): Trini Lopez
The bramble bush is lovely, it fills you with delight The flowers on the bramble bush are all so pink and white But if you reach to pluck one, as sure as you are born The bramble bush will stick you with it's prickly thorn
And the pretty girl is like a bramble bush Yes, a pretty girl will thrill you very much Oh, a pretty girl is like a bramble bush But you'll get stuck if you should touch
The girl I fell in love with was such a lovely sight So beautiful to gaze upon, so soft and pink and white And as I reached to kiss her, beneath the summer skies I was so much in love, I didn't realise
That a pretty girl is like a bramble bush Yes, a pretty girl will thrill you very much Oh, a pretty girl is like a bramble bush But you'll get stuck if you should touch
The summer soon was over and autumn chilled the sky The flowers on the bramble bush began to fade and die And with the faded flowers, my true love travelled on And I can feel the thorns now that my lover has gone
But the pretty girl, yes, is like a bramble bush Yes, a pretty girl will thrill you very much Oh, the pretty girl is like a bramble bush But you'll get stuck if you should touch
Oh, the bramble bush Yes, the bramble bush Oh, the bramble bush Yes, the bramble bush
They say the men who looked for gold Were warmed by the sun in her glance So, they fell for the belle of the Yukon And their dreams remembered how to dance
They say her voice could tame the wind Wherever she was it was spring So, they fell for the belle of the Yukon And their hearts remembered how to sing
When old timers talk of early glories She's always somewhere in their stories They say her smile could melt the moon And roses were willing to grow
When they tell of the belle of the Yukon Well, it may be true for all we know It happened many years ago

Just about three years ago
Two young folk, they met
They fell in love right there and then
Never to forget
Terry Brown's in love with Mary Dee
Terry Brown's in love with Mary Dee
Their love grew stronger hour by hour
The end of ev'ry day
They'd kiss goodbye and with a smile
To each other they would say
Terry Brown's in love with Mary Dee
Terry Brown's in love with Mary Dee
Then one day a letter came
And in it Terry read
To serve his Country he must go
To leave Mary he would dread
The day's seemed weeks, the months seemed years
But Mary's love was strong
Then she found no letters came
But in her heart there was a sound
Terry Brown's in love with Mary Dee
Terry Brown's in love with Mary Dee
One afternoon, a telegram
"Meet me at the train at half-past-five"
Oh, Mary's heart was filled with joy
Was Terry still alive?
Terry Brown's in love with Mary Dee
Terry Brown's in love with Mary Dee
She ran down to the station
It was Terry standing there
She threw her arms around his neck
Their voices filled the air
Terry Brown's in love with Mary Dee
Idées Noires Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers & Nicoletta
Il se lève, c'est l'heure, écrase son mégot Dans sa tasse de café, éteint la stéréo Eteint le lampadaire, éteint le plafonnier Eteint dans la cuisine, met la sécurité Un couloir Une porte Un lit C'est la nuit Quelques pills pour dormir, je n'sais plus où je suis Un store noir Une porte Un lit C'est l'ennui Rien à faire pour l'amour, mais ne dis pas toujours
Où es-tu, quand tu es dans mes bras? Que fais-tu, est-ce que tu penses à moi? D'où viens-tu ? Un jour tu partiras Où es-tu, quand tu es dans mes bras?
Je fais des mauvais rêves, j'suis sur un mauvais câble Dans la paranoïa, pas de marchand de sable J'vois en panoramique urgente et désirable Une blonde décapitée dans sa décapotable Cauchemar Highway Bad trip Fumée noire Une vamp vorace tue au fond d'un couloir J'en sors pas Cafard Bad trip Idées noires Avalé par l'espace au fond d'un entonnoir
J'veux m'enfuir, quand tu es dans mes bras J'veux m'enfuir, est-ce que tu rêves de moi J'veux m'enfuir, tu ne penses qu'à toi J'veux m'enfuir, tout seul tu finiras
J'veux m'enfuir, quand tu es dans mes bras J'veux m'enfuir, est-ce que tu rêves de moi J'veux m'enfuir, tu ne penses qu'à toi J'veux m'enfuir, tout seul tu finiras
J'veux m'enfuir, j'veux partir, j'veux d'l'amour, du plaisir D'la folie, du désir, j'veux pleurer et j'veux rire J'veux m'enfuir, j'veux partir, j'veux d'l'amour, du plaisir D'la folie, du désir, j'veux pleurer et j'veux rire J'veux m'enfuir, j'veux partir, j'veux d'l'amour, du plaisir D'la folie, du désir, j'veux pleurer et j'veux rire
J'veux m'enfuir, quand tu es dans mes bras J'veux m'enfuir, est-ce que tu rêves de moi J'veux m'enfuir, tu ne penses qu'à toi J'veux m'enfuir, tout seul tu finiras
J'veux m'enfuir, quand tu es dans mes bras J'veux m'enfuir, est-ce que tu rêves de moi J'veux m'enfuir, tu ne penses qu'à toi J'veux m'enfuir, tout seul tu finiras...
Kermis In Breda Composer(s): Louis Neefs Performer(s): Louis Neefs
Jassen aan Popelend om eindelijk op weg te gaan Vergeten, al je wachten Die slapeloze nachten En je bent al in gedachten Op de kermis in Breda
Luilekkerland Met ballen gooien, poffertjes, een steile wand Suikerspinnen, friettent De achtbaan en de schiettent Grenzeloos genietend Op de kermis in Breda
Want een zondag op de kermis Was je meer waard dan een indianentent En zeker als je zeven bent
Carrousel Hoog te paard, je lijkt de sprookjesridder wel Opgetogen draaien Uitgelaten zwaaien Kinderstemmen kraaien Op de kermis in Breda
De kop van Jut De rupsbaan en de goochelaar, de echoput Die zou je haast vergeten Je wilt niet eens wat eten En van geen einde weten Op de kermis in Breda
Want een zondag op de kermis Was je meer waard dan een indianentent En zeker als je zeven bent
De hoogste tijd Achterop bij vader kijk je om vol spijt Met glinsterende ogen Je schouders moe gebogen De dag is omgevlogen Op de kermis in Breda
Oh, Joseph, Joseph, won't you make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart ????? ???? that I could stop and wonder Each time we make up after being through So, listen Joseph, Joseph time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My Mother has a fear, wedding bells we'll never hear Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day
Tick-a-tick ????????????????? Tick-a-tick ????????????????? ????????????????????????????? And he had to be leaving ??????????????????
Tick-a-tick ????????????????? Tick-a-tick ????????????????? ????????????????????????????? So he ???????????????????????

Kersebloesem Van Yokohama Performer(s): Mary Servaes (aka Zangeres Zonder Naam)
In n theehuis bij de Foetsiejama zong n geischa zacht haar n droevig lied Over liefde in t verre Yokohama waar n zeeman haar voorgoed verliet Hij was gekomen over blauwe oceanen zij betoverend door zn mooie blonde haren Ze vonden liefde in de roze kersenlanen op zachte bloesem beminde zei elkaar
Refrein Kersebloesem in Yokohama, kersebloesem geurend in de nacht Heeft n kleine zwarte Geischa veel geluk maar ook verdriet gebracht Kersebloesem in Yokohama bittere tranen kleine Geischa
De andere avond was hij weer gekomen en haar hartje stond in vuur en vlam Ze gingen snel weer naar de kersenbomen waar hij zacht haar in zn armen nam Maar als de anderen morgen vroeg de klanken klinken ziet mn haar wenend aan de stille kade staan t Is of de wereld voor haar voeten weg zal zinken nu zij door tranen zijn schip weer weg ziet gaan
Refrein Kersebloesem in Yokohama, bracht tranen kleine Geischa
I remember you, turning on the faucets I let the water run I didn't want to let them hear me when I'm cryin' Or let them see what she had done
Oh-ooh... (Let the water run down) Let the water run, let it pour (??? ??? like a river) (Let the tears fall down) Let it pour (Dum-dee-dum-dum, dee-dum-dum)
So I locked the door and looked in the mirror I don't like what I see A fool, what a fool lookin' out of the mirror Cryin' all those tears at me
Oh-ooh... (Let the water run down) Let the water run, let it pour (??? ??? like a river) (Let the tears fall down) Oh-ooh, let it pour (Dum-dee-dum-dum, dee-dum-dum)
I hear them waiting by the door At their pounding on the floor They're yellin', "Are you comin' out" Ooh, I wish they wouldn't doubt All I need is one minute more Then I'll open up the door And this is what I'll say "I'm alright.....uum-uum, it's alright" "I'm alright, I'm alright"
I'm not about to hear ya... (Let the water run down) Oh, let it pour (????? ???? like a river) Let the tears fall down the hole (???? ???? ???? ???? ????)
So I reach for the towel, I wipe my eyes I go out and join the crowd You know I danced with a girl She was a wrong, wrong girl And my heart is cryin' out loud
Oh-ooh... (Let the water run down) Let it roll, let it pour (????? ???? like a river) Let the tears fall down the hole C'mon now... (Let the water run down) Let it roll, let it pour (??? ??? like a river) Let the tears run down the hole I wanna hear ya (Let the water run down)
I'd Wait A Million Years Composer(s): Gary Zekley; Mitchell Bottler Performer(s): The Grass Roots; Material Issue
All of the lonely nights Waiting for you to come, longing to hold you tight I need you so desperately Waiting for you to come bringing your love to me [but]
I'd wait a million years Walk a million miles, cry a million tears I'd swim the deepest sea Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me
As love is reality When you are near to me, I am in ecstacy I'd swallow the pain and pride Baby, I just can't hide all that I feel inside [and]
I'd wait a million years Walk a million miles, cry a million tears I'd swim the deepest sea Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me
A million years, I would wait for you A million tears, baby I'd be true A million miles, I would follow you A million years, if you want me to
Pacing the floor, detest Sweat pouring down my chest, still I can't love you less It's worth all the pain and pride Baby, I just can't hide all that I feel inside [and]
I'd wait a million years Walk a million miles, cry a million tears I'd swim the deepest sea Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me
Kevin Barry Traditional Celtic Song Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers; and various other artists
In Mountjoy jail one Monday morning High upon the gallows tree Kevin Barry gave his young life For the cause of liberty But a lad of eighteen summers Yet no one can deny As he walked to death that morning He proudly held his head on high
Just before he faced the hangman In his dreary prison cell British soldiers tortured Barry Just because he would not tell The names of his brave companions And other things they wished to know "Turn informer or we'll kill you" Kevin Barry answered, "no" Calmly standing to attention While he bade his last farewell To his broken hearted mother Whose grief no one can tell For the cause he proudly cherished This sad parting had to be Then to death walked softly smiling That old Ireland might be free
Another martyr for old Ireland Another murder for the crown Whose brutal laws may kill the Irish But can't keep their spirit down Lads like Barry are no cowards From the foe they will not fly Lads like Barry will free Ireland For her sake they'll live and die
Go On Laugh, Little Girl ((French Version: Tu t'Amuses (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - B. Kaye
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1969
Go on laugh, little girl
I said a funny thing
Go on laugh, little girl
If it amuses you, then the thing to do is laugh
Enjoy the joke on me
I only said I loved you
And you driving me mad
You think it's all so funny
That's what makes it so sad
It's alright, little girl
Don't let it bother you
Treat it light, little girl
There really isn't anything important at stake
Just my heart that will break
Hearts were meant to be broken
They are so frequently
Why make mine the exception
Go on, break it for me
Go on laugh, little girl
I said a funny thing
Bend in half little girl
Until your eyes are wet
From the laugh you get from me
Enjoy the one-man show
I made myself look foolish
I had no other choice
My heart was filled with love words
I couldn't stop its voice
Have a ball, little girl
Ignore the things I say
I'd Still Be There Composer(s): Johnny Cash; Johnny Horton Performer(s): Johnny Cash
I overlooked a lot of things I knew I should have done I did things that I'm sorry for, I lived to have my fun But now the world that once was bright is empty and bare And if you wouldn't be ashamed of me, I'd still be there
I'd be with you, where I belong And nothing they could do or say could make me think it's wrong If all the love that made you mine could make you still care I'd be by your side, I'd still be there
I'd give the world if I could only have you close to me I'd pray the Lord to keep you safe wherever you may be Don't let anybody share the things we used to share If I only knew you loved me too, I'd still be there
I'd be with you, where I belong And nothing they could do or say could make me think it's wrong If all the love that made you mine could make you still care I'd be by your side, I'd still be there
Key Largo Composer(s): Bertie Higgins; Sonny Limbo Performer(s): Bertie Higgins
Wrapped around each other Lying in each other's arms That first cold winter together Trying so hard to stay warm Watching those old movies Falling in love so desperately Honey I was your hero And you were my leading lady
(chorus) We had it all Just like Bogie and Bacall Starring in our old late, late show Sailing away to Key Largo
Honey can't you remember We played all the parts That sweet scene of surrender When you gave me your heart Please say you will...play it again Cause I love you still Baby this can't be the end
Chorus
Here's lookin at you kid Missing all the things we did We can find it once again, I know Just like they did in Key Largo
Boy Meets Girl Performer(s): Don Lang & His Frantic Five
Something happens whenever that music's played Number one on everyone's hit parade Ev'ry invitation to the dance Could be the beginning of romance Life is a crazy whirl, a-boy meets girl
Make that music frantic or make it sweet No one can resist such an easy beat Oh, the moment that they turn the lights down low You can feel the grooves begin to go Life is a crazy whirl, a-boy meets girl
The music stops, it's time to break away But there's a chance that she might want to stay
So, play that record on any old juke machine Ev'ry guy's a king, ev'ry gal's a queen When you find the one that you adore You can hoild her close for evermore Life is a crazy whirl, a-boy meets girl
Oh, the music stops, it's time to break away But there's a chance that she might want to stay
So, play that record on any old juke machine Ev'ry guy's a king, ev'ry gal's a queen Oh, when you find the one that you adore You can hold her close for evermore Life is a crazy whirl, a-boy meets girl Boy meets girl Boy meets girl
I'd Really Love To See You Tonight Composer(s): Parker McGee First release by: England Dan & John Ford Coley - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
Hello, yeah, it's been a while Not much, how 'bout you? I'm not sure why I called I guess I really just wanted to talk to you And I was thinking maybe later on We could get together for a while It's been such a long time And I really do miss your smile
I'm not talking 'bout moving in And I don't want to change your life But there's a warm wind blowing The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight
We could go walking through a windy park Or take a drive along the beach Or stay at home and watch t.v. You see, it really doesn't matter much to me
I'm not talking 'bout moving in And I don't want to change your life But there's a warm wind blowing The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight
I won't ask for promises So you won't have to lie We've both played that game before Say I love you, then say goodbye
I'm not talking 'bout moving in And I don't want to change your life But there's a warm wind blowing The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight
