Ain't Wastin' Time No More Composer(s): Gregg Allman Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band; Wet Willie; Zoo People
Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain Week before, they all seemed the same With the help of God and true friends, I come to realize I still had two strong legs, and even wings to fly
And oh I, ain't wastin' time no more 'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things
Lord, lord Miss Sally, why all your cryin'? Been around here three long days, you're lookin' like you're dyin' Just step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above Go on downtown baby, find somebody to love
Meanwhile I ain't wastin' time no more 'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things
You don't need no gypsy to tell you why You can't let one precious day slip by Look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want Maybe sometimes then you don't But leave your mind alone and just get high
Well by and by, way after many years have gone And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone We'll raise our children in the peaceful way we can It's up to you and me brother To try and try again
Well, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more 'Cause time goes by like hurricanes Runnin' after subway trains Don't forget the pouring rain
When The Wind Blows In Chicago Composer(s): Scott Turner; Audie Murphy Performer(s): Roy Clark; - 1964 Bobby Bare; Eddy Arnold
Well, here I am in Chicago All alone, near the place where we met And as I walk through the rain, the wind whispers your name Oh, why won't it let me forget
'Cause when the wind blows I get lonely And one thing for sure you will find That the wind always blows in Chicago So I'm lonely most all of the time
Well, folks look so happy here on State Street They don't know that our love's not the same I'm alone in the crowd with my hopes in the clouds 'Cause the wind just whispers your name
And when the wind blows I get lonely And one thing for sure you will find That the wind always blows in Chicago Oh, so I'm lonely most all of the time
Well, I'm saying goodbye to Chicago I'm gonna catch a lonely old train And I hope that it goes where the wind doesn't blow Or at least it won't whisper your name
'Cause when the wind blows I get lonely And one thing for sure you will find That the wind always blows in Chicago So I'm lonely most all of the time
Ain't Too Proud To Beg Composer(s): Norman Whitfield - Eddie Holland First release by: The Temptations - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
I know you wanna leave me But I refuse to let you go If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me
Ain't too proud to beg, and you know it (sweet darlin') Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Now I heard a cryin' man is half a man With no sense of pride But if I have to cry to keep you, I don't mind weepin' If it'll keep you by my side
Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin' Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day Just to keep you from walking away Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand 'Cause I wanna keep you anyway I can
Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin' Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Now I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart And each day it grows more and more I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door
Ain't too proud to beg, yes you know it (sweet darlin') Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) Baby, baby, baby (sweet darlin') Please don't leave me, girl
When The Twilight Comes To Kiss The Rose "Good-Night"
When The Twilight Comes To Kiss The Rose "Good-Night" Composer(s): Robert F. Roden; Henry W. Petrie
Near a rose bush down in Dixie I am dreaming the leaves of time I'm turning over and over and I see you once again with fond eyes gleaming while the nightingale sings love's sweet song Lenore, my lost Lenore The twilight comes to kiss the rose "Good-Night!" dear as in the golden days of "Auld Lang Syne" and it seems to me I see love's tender light, dear in the Southern eyes that once were mine, all mine!
Tho' the garden is deserted now, my dearie the rose bush blooms as in the days of yore tho' to me the wide, wide world seems mighty dreary my fond heart still holds the old love sweet Lenore, my lost Lenore I wonder if the love that was denied me still guides your footsteps thro' the world a right or if sometimes, dear, you long to be beside me when the twilight comes to kiss the rose "Goodnight!"
When the twilight comes to kiss the rose "Goodnight!" and the stars, like jewels, gleam with silvry light I can see the love light shine once again you're mine all mine when the twilight comes to kiss the rose "Goodnight!"
Ain't Too Good Composer(s): Rory Gallagher Performer(s): Rory Gallagher
Well, it ain't too good The way you treat your man It's less than good It sure ain't kind It's your mistake You'll see in time When I'm gone, when I'm gone Well, it's been so long Since I felt that glow The flame was bright But it's burning low I should be gone But I'm slow to go Serves me right, serves me.....
It doesn't seem clear What happens from here and now You've called the tune, but maybe soon Someone must pay for the piper
Well, it ain't too late To change your mind For it's time you knew Just where I stand Well, let me know 'Cause I got plans From now on, from now on, from now on
When The Turkey In The Straw Danced The Chicken Reel
When The Turkey In The Straw Danced The Chicken Reel Composer(s): J. Will Callahan; F. Henri Klickmann
In a barnyard far away All the fowls assembled on a summer day Just to give a barnyard dance Tried to put the farmers in a barnyard trance All the rubes for miles around Came to see them shuffle there upon the ground
Old Si Jones in overalls Always won the ribbon at the barnyard balls Came that day with Aunt Suzanne Frisky as a bullfrog in a fryin' pan Said, "By Gosh, just turn me loose" Crack'd his heels together yellin' "Come on, Suze"
All the old hens cackled and the young ducks quacked And the rooster all began to crow The little chickens stood there in a row "Keep your feet a-movin'," you could hear the farmers yell And the old cow hid behind the old hay stack But the pigs just grunted kind o' low As they stood there lookin' at the show When the turkey in the straw danced the chicken reel
Ain't There Anyone Here For Love? Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Harold Adamson Performer(s): Jane Russell; Klea Blackhurst
I can't play tennis My golf's a menace I just can't do the Australian crawl And I'm no better at volleyball Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love Ain't there anyone here for love?
I'm apathetic and non-athletic Can't keep up in a marathon I need some shoulder to lean upon And a couple of arms to hold me Ain't there anyone here for love?
I'm not in condition to wrestle I've never trained in a gym Show me a man who can nestle And I'll pin a medal on him
I need some chappy To make me happy And he don't need to be Hercules Don't anyone know about birds and bees Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love Ain't there anyone here for love?
When The Thought Of You Catches Up With Me Composer(s): David Ball Performer(s): David Ball
It can happen any moment Without reason or rhyme It might be right around the corner Or it'll come up from behind A picture that I thought would fade That I still clearly see When the thought of you catches up with me
It can happen on a Sunday drive The sky above a shade of blue Headin' down some lonesome highway Then you come into view Mile after mile goes by But you're all I see When the thought of you catches up with me
When the thought of you comes to mind It'll carry me away to a better place in time
It can happen in the dead of night Or any day of the week Sometimes you'll come find me When I'm in bed asleep And I'll have that dream about you And I sure love what I see When the thought of you catches up with me

When The Sun Goes Down In Romany (My Heart Goes Roaming Back To You)
When The Sun Goes Down In Romany (My Heart Goes Roaming Back To You) Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Bert Grant
Dearie, dearie Far across the deep blue sea Dearie, dearie Do you ever think of me? When the Autumn leaves are turning My thoughts turn to home Is there still a love light burning Far across the foam? Dearie, dearie Tell me, are we both alone?
Lonely, lonely Think how lonely I must be Lonely, lonely No one seems to pity me I can see the corn a swaying In the candle light Staying where I left you praying "Lead his footsteps right" Lonely, lonely, say a pray'r for me tonight
When the sun goes down in Romany My heart goes roaming back to you Through the dells the chapel bells are calling There's a grief for every leaf that's falling Like a tipsy gypsy I just wandered Far from all the loved ones that I knew But dearie When the sun goes down in Romany My heart goes roaming back to you
Ain't That Peculiar Composer(s): Smokey Robinson - Marvin Tarplin - Robert Rogers - Warren Moore First release by: Marvin Gaye - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Honey you do me wrong but still i'm crazy about you Stay away too long and i can't do without you Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more But each hurt makes my love stronger than before I know flowers go through rain But how can love go through pain
Ain't that peculiar A peculiar ality Ain't that peculiar baby Peculiar as can be
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me I've been so much in love with you baby til i don't wanna see That things you do and say are designed to make me blue It's a dog gone shame my love for you makes all Your lies seem true But if the truth makes love last longer Why do lies make my love stronger
Ain't that peculiar A peculiar ality Ain't that peculiar baby Peculiar as can be
I cried so much just like a child thats lost its home Maybe baby you think these tears i cry are tears of joy A child can cry so much until you do everything they say But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way I know love can last through years But how can love last through tears
Ain't that peculiar A peculiar ality Ain't that peculiar baby Peculiar as can be
When The Sun Comes Out
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; Ted Koehler
First release by: Jimmy Dorsey & His Orch.
Covered by multiple other artists
When the sun comes out
And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane
When the sun comes out
There'll be bluebirds 'round my door
Singin' like they did before
That old storm broke out
And my man walked off and left me in the rain
Though he's gone, I doubt
If he'll stay away for good
I'd stop living if he should
Love is funny
It's not always peaches, cream and honey
Just when everything looked bright and sunny
Suddenly the cyclone came
I'll never be the same
Till that sun comes out
And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane
If my heart holds out
Let it rain and let it pour
It may not be long before
There's a knockin' at my door
Then you'll know the one I love walked in
When the sun comes out
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'
