When The Snow Is On The Roses (Adapted from: Der Weg Ins Land Der Liebe) Composer(s): Ernst Bader; Larry Kusik; James Last; Eddie Snyder Performer(s): Ed Ames and various other artists
Now the golden sun can see us kiss Every summer day we'll love like this
When the snow is on the roses When the bluebird's flown away In my arms we'll both remember All the love we shared today
As we walk along the silvery shore Vows we make will last forever more
When the snow is on the roses When the summer stars are gone One more summer will be over But our love will still go on
When the snow is on the roses When the bluebird's flown away In my arms we'll both remember All the love we shared today All the love we shared today

When The Ship Comes In Title in Czech: Az Se Má Lod Zpátky Vrátí Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): The Hollies; and various other artists
Oh the time will come up When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be a breezin' Like the stillness in the wind For the hurricane begins The hour when the ship comes in
Oh the seas will split And the ship will hit And the shoreline sands will be shaken Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound And the morning will be breakin'
Oh the fishes will laugh As they swim out of the path And the seagulls they'll be smilin' And the rocks on the sand Will proudly stand The hour that the ship comes in
And the words they use For to get the ship confused Will not be understood as they are spoken For the chains of the sea Will have busted in the night And be buried at the bottom of the ocean
Oh the seas will split And the ship will hit And the shoreline sands will be shaken Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound And the morning will be breakin'
A song will lift as the main sail shifts And the boat drifts onto the shoreline And the sun will respect every face on the deck The hour when the ship comes in Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold For your weary toes to be a touchin' And the ships wise men will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watchin'

When The Roses Bloom Again Composer(s): Will D. Cobb; Gus Edwards Performer(s): Jeff Tweedy; and various other artists
He was roaming in the gloaming where the roses were in bloom A soldier, with his sweetheart, brave and true And their hearts were filled with sorrow for their thoughts were of tomorrow As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue "Do not ask me love to linger, for you know not what to say Before duty calls your sweetheart's name again But your heart need not be sighing; if I be among the dying I'll be with you when the roses bloom again"
When the roses bloom again beside the river And the mocking bird has sung her sweet refrain In the days of Auld Lang Syne, I'll be with you sweetheart mine I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
In the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and low From a soldier who had fallen in the fray "I am dying, I am dying and I know that I must go But I want to tell you before I pass away There's a far and distant river where the roses are in bloom And a sweetheart who is waitng there for me It is there I pray you take me I've been faithful, don't forsake me I'll be with her when the roses bloom again"

When The Rain Tumbles Down In July Composer(s): Slim Dusty Performer(s): Slim Dusty; The Bushwackers; Graeme Connors
Let me wander north to the homestead Way out further on there to roam, By a gully in flood, let me linger When the summery sunshine has flown
Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds And clouds fill the old northern sky And the cattle move back from the lowlands When the rain tumbles down in July
The settlers with sad hearts are watching The rise of the stream from the dawn, Their best crops are always in flood reach If it rises much more they'll be gone
The cattle string out along the fences The wind from the south races by And the limbs from the old gums have fallen When the rain tumbles down in July
The sleeping gums on the hillside Awaken to herds strayin' by Here on the flats where the fences have vanished As the storm clouds gather on high
The wheels of the wagons stop turning The stock horse is turned out to stray The old station dogs are a-dozin' On the husks in the barn through the day
The drover draws rein by the river And it's years since he's seen it so high Yes, and that's just a story of homeward When the rain tumbles down in July

I know the desert could hold all the love that I feel in my heart for you Just like the ocean that started to roll, my love it could be coming to you Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours, it wouldn't need a fire I can't think of a word that describes you better than indescribable Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you were, darling, they would shut up their honey comb If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is, they'd pack up and fly away Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

Time goes by so fast You've got to have a dream To just hold on All my dreams of love began With the reality of you You and I believe That all our dreams will last forever And when the rain begins to fall you'll ride my rainbow in the sky And I will catch you if you fall you'll never have to ask me why And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

Covered by multiple other artists
How lucky can one guy be
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said
Ain't that a kick in the head
The room was completely black
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said quote
Ain't that a hole in the boat
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep grinning
If this is just the beginning
My life is gonna be ...
Beautiful
I've got sunshine enough to spread
It's just like the fella said
Tell me quick
Ain't love a kick in the head
Ain't love a kick in the head
Ain't that a hole in the boat
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep grinning
If this is just the beginning
My life has gotta be
Beautiful
She's telling me that we'd be wed
Man she's picked out a large type bed
I couldn't feel any better
Or I'll be sick
Tell me quick
Please
Tell me quick
Tell me quick
Ain't love a kick, kick in the head
When The Old Oaken Bucket Was New Composer(s): Joe Cooper; George J. Moriarty
Summer was blooming, old times were looming
while I closed my eyes Scenes I love dearly, came back so clearly
under summer skies Stars were a gleaming, I was just dreaming Dreaming, dear of you Back to the time when you became mine Just a memory
Life was a pleasure each day a treasure, that I foundly praise Thoughts of the morrow, never brought sorrow, in those good old days Back to our childhood, back thro' the wild wood My thoughts seem to fly What can compare with those days so rare Days that never die
When the old oaken bucket was new That's the first time I made love to you You turned your head, but you heard all I said As we sat by the well just we two We both vowed that our hearts love would flow Just as long as the water below Life is sweet yet, but I'll never forget When the old oaken bucket was new

In a daze In the throes of emotion You see God in the devils eyes Then you fall so far from grace You wouldnt know a kiss If it was on your face You can tell it to the jury But you aint got no case
Freak out! Im alone now I feel just like Im losinmy mind cause love is like the right dress On the wrong girl You never know what youre gonna find The gal was fine as calamine but not Enough to scratch a seven year itch cause love is like the last licks Outta Hendrix ... yeah Aint that a bitch
Then you feel so out of place Lickinup the arsenic From the same old lace You know the stuff is poison But you gotta have a taste
Freak out! Im alone now I feel just like Im losin my mind cause love is like the right dress On the wrong girl You never know what youre gonna find You think youre high and fine as wine Then you wind up with your face in the ditch cause love is like a warm gun On a cold night ... yeah Aint that a bitch
I Lived So Fast And Hard Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Mel Tillis
I was raised on cornbread and gravy And I slept in a cardboard box till I was nearly three I bathed myself in a muddy river runnin' by our shack By the time that I had reached thirteen I'd been through hell and back
I've been thrown from pillar to post I've been banged around and scarred I've done so much I've seen so much And I've lived so fast and hard
Mama died when I was young and I never knew my dad I never had the lovin' care that other children had I spent five years in an orphan's home, but I ran off one day And I hoboed an old freight train to San Francisco Bay
I fought in the war, I've been in jail There ain't much I ain't done I'd lived as much as any man Before I was twenty one
I've been thrown from pillar to post I've been banged around and scarred I've done so much I've seen so much And I've lived so fast and hard
