    Airmail To Heaven
    Composer(s): Kent Westberry
    Performer(s): Carl Smith



    A letter was written by a little girl's hand
    It was sealed with her little heart's love
    'Said airmail to heaven to Daddy
    To his new home somewhere up above
    As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed
    So I opened the letter and read
    To my surprise, tears filled my eyes
    Here's what the little girl said

    Dear Daddy, Mommy now loves someone new
    She says that you're not coming home
    She told me to try to understand
    She can't go on living alone
    I hope Daddy you can forgive her
    She needs someone for all she's been through
    And he will never take your place
    He'll be just filling in for you

    Well I finished and folded the letter
    Tears rolling down my face
    For I was the new man she mentioned
    Who was taking her Daddy's place

    When This Lousy War Is Over



    When this lousy war is over
    No more soldiering for me
    When I get my civvy clothes on
    Oh, how happy I shall be!
    No more church parades on Sunday
    No more putting in for leave
    I shall kiss the sergeant-major
    How I'll miss him, how he'll grieve!
    Amen

    Airegin
    Composer(s): Sonny Rollins
    First recording/First release by: Miles Davis - 1954/1957
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Wait'll y'dig it on the map - Airegin
    Spelled backwards
    Really're closin' up the gap - Airegin
    Gone fac'wards
    Back long time ago they saw a ghost
    Ghost made a boast
    Soon that ghost was host

    Those losing their hue
    They goofed 'n got the wrong view
    First, things reverse, last is first!
    Y' dig it!
    Whatta' y' think o'that'n get a load a'
    What I tell y'
    What this place is no one knows it
    There's no traces of the kind o'place it was
    Before it got discovered by the kind o'
    Cat that knows the earth belongs t'him
    Back when the world was young
    An' man was a living god
    An' he walked this earthly sod
    This was sod that god would trod on
    Till one day a stranger landed
    With a line o'jive
    Laid it on the natives till he had 'em thinkin'
    Maybe that they should really take five
    An' he quickly stole the natives' soul
    So he could control it
    An' he took care of that missionary biz
    Till the lan' was his
    Never heard a story draggy as that
    Tell th' truth I ain't never heard another
    That exasperated more
    What an exasperating narrative t'play
    Upon the sensitive and kindly soul that I am
    'Way back when I was crawlin' in m'crib
    I was doin' all kinds o'thinkin'
    Aw'ready I had figured out the 'cut of m'jib'
    The kind o'soul that never liked t'tell 'r live a fib
    A body who was steadily reachin' up
    A min' always thinkin' on high-minded things
    Whee! I was always one t'be free
    Ain't never had a keeper why don't people
    Learn t'git along t'gether stead o'
    Meddlin' aroun' 'n fussin' with the fella nearest to 'em
    Me, I'm the old fashioned kind
    I was never good at follow-the-leader
    Real real real real real real real
    That's me, as real as a Yankee can be
    That's me
    Millions o' years ago
    There was a Paleolithic age on Earth
    An' the whole world was young
    And full o'the vim of constant rebirth
    Brontosauruses 'n dinosaurs 'n pterodactyls
    Ever'where abounding that was the case
    'N plus the millions o' mammoths here 'n there
    An' in addition there were lots o'men everywhere
    Who had no hi-tech and no intellect 'nary a speck
    But in that spot
    Where it was so lush, where it was so hot
    Where many animal was roamin'
    An' nature was kind, life was thrivin'
    There livin' was actual an' the feelin' was natural
    I'm tellin' the truth
    What-a-benign livin' some livin'
    All's forgiven come on home
    Blew a truly unruly storm
    That wrecked a boat in a climate warm
    'N full o'ashy-colored cats all lookin'
    White like ghosts
    'N when the natives checked 'em out
    It blew 'em away t'find that they resembled spirits
    Long ago there was a legend
    'Bout a spirit who would someday come
    A look at these cats
    'N y' could see they prob'ly had some
    So they welcomed 'em with peace and love
    And everything there's plenty of
    'N soon the tables had turned to rigormortis
    That's when the castaway had his say
    Like a dog had his day they told the
    People that they were spirits actual
    Y'see how perfectly a fable c'n be
    Incorporated into what a cat'll think is factual
    What was an accident turns int' something
    So unbelievably heaven-sent
    Everybody falls for it
    Right on down t' the militants
    'N marchin' 'n the martyrs 'n the murder of Lumumba
    Wait'll y'dig it on the map - Airegin
    Spelled backwards
    Really're closin' up the gap - Airegin
    Gone fac'wards
    Back long time ago they saw a ghost
    Ghost made a boast
    Soon that ghost was host
    Wait'll y'dig it on the map - Airegin
    Spelled backwards
    Really're closin' up the gap - Airegin
    Gone fac'wards
    Those losing their hue
    They goofed 'n got the wrong view
    First, things reverse, last is first!
    Y' dig it!

    When they sound the last all clear
    How happy my darling we'll be
    When they turn up the lights
    And those sad lonely nights
    Are only a memory
    Never more we'll be apart
    Always together sweetheart
    For the peace bells will ring
    And the whole world will sing
    When they sound the last all clear

    Aire, Aire
    Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



    Aire, aire
    no una brisa sino un torbellino de aire
    aire, aire ...
    que se llevo a los monstruos
    que se han hecho dueños
    de todos los sueños
    que fueron razón
    Aire, aire
    Tantos buzos alados surcando el aire
    aire, aire
    que no hay dios que circule
    con vuelo insumiso
    por el paraíso
    del camaleón
    Aire, aire, aire, aire...
    necesito respirar
    que me niego a comprender, amor
    que ya nunca pueda ser, amor
    verdad la verdad...
    pero qué verdad, pero qué verdad
    amor...
    Aire, aire
    no hay perfume que valga si falta el aire
    aire, aire
    de qué sirve que huela a jardines el viento
    si falta el aliento
    que atrapa la flor...
    Aire, aire
    aire de vendaval que revuelva el aire
    aire, aire
    aire airado que arrastre
    esta larga locura
    que escupe basura
    cuando habla de honor
    Aire, aire, aire, aire...
    Aire, aire
    no una brisa sino un torbellino de aire
    aire, aire
    que se lleve a los monstruos
    que se han hecho dueños
    de todos los sueños
    que fueron razón

    and various other artists



    When I go for a walk
    And meet old friends we knew
    We sit around and talk
    Then they ask about you
    What's the good if I say
    That you and I are thru
    I tell them you're okay
    When they ask about you

    They wonder where we've been
    And why we never call
    I take it on the chin
    Until the teardrops fall
    They don't mean to be smart
    But if they only knew
    They're stepping on my heart
    When they ask about you

    Air Dance
    Composer(s): Terence Butler - Tony Iommi - Ozzy Osbourne - William Ward
    Performer(s): Black Sabbath



    She sits in silence, in her midnight world
    Her faded pictures, of her dancing girls
    Her, distant dreamer, on the seas of time
    Her happy memories, dancing through her mind

    In days of romance
    She was the queen of dance
    She'd dance the night away

    And as the seasons turn the days to years
    She holds her pictures, hears the silent cheers
    The days grow lonely for the dancing queen
    And now she dances only in her dreams

    In days of romance
    She was the queen of dance
    She'd dance the night away, away, away, away

    When The "Yanks" Come Marching Home
    Composer(s): William Jerome; Seymour Furth



    Our hearts today are far across the ocean
    God spare our boys
    at night we kneel and pray
    In far off lands our troops are now in motion
    Among the very bravest in the fray
    For right and might must wipe out every wrong
    So let us hope it won't last long

    Our hearts are beating now with palpitation
    We smile and then we brush away a tear
    For we have sent the flower of our nation
    We're proud of every Yankee Volunteer
    America was waiting for the chance to show the love we always had for France

    For there'll be smiles and miles of tears
    When the Yanks come marching home
    There'll be tears enough you know to make a dozen rivers flow
    Dressed in their torn and tattered suits of tan
    From battle fields across the foam
    Hearts will beat with joy for every boy
    When the Yanks come marching home

    For there'll be smiles and miles of tears
    When the Boys come marching home
    There'll be tears enough you know to make a dozen rivers flow
    Dressed in their torn and tattered suits of tan
    From battle fields across the foam
    Hearts will beat with joy for every boy
    When the Boys come marching home

    One more night of doing without `em will drive me crazy
    Won'tcha make me smile again, won'tcha?
    Just a word is all that it takes
    Your hello will let me know that we're the same as we used to be
    Oh, ain't cha ever coming back to me?

    When The World Was Young

    Composer(s): Angèle Vannier - Philippe Gérard - Johnny Mercer

    It isn't by chance I happen to be a boulevardier, the toast of Paree
    For over the noise, the talk and the smoke
    I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a joke
    I walk in a room, a party of all, come sit over here, somebody will call
    A drink for monsieur, a drink for us all, but how many times, I sat and recall
    Are the apple trees, blossoms in the breeze that we walk among
    Lying in the hay, games we used to play, while the rounds were sung
    Only yesterday when the world was young
    Wherever I go they mention my name, and that in itself is some sort of fame
    Come by for a drink, we're having a game, wherever I go, I'm glad that I came
    The talk is quite gay, the company's fine
    There's laughter and lights and glamour and wine
    And beautiful girls and summer's been mine, but often my eyes see a different shine
    Are the apple trees, sunlit memories, where the hammock swung
    On our backs sweet lie, looking at the sky, till the stars were strung
    Only last July when the world was young

    Ain't We Got Fun?
    Composer(s): Richard A. Whiting - Gus Kahn - Ray Egan
    Performer(s): Van & Schenck
    and multiple other artists



    Bill collectors gather 'round and rather
    Haunt the cottage next door
    Men the grocer and butcher sent
    Men who call for the rent
    But within a happy chappy
    And his bride of only a year
    Seem to be so cheerful, here's an earful
    Of the chatter you hear

    Ev'ry morning, ev'ry evening
    Ain't we got fun?
    Not much money
    Oh, but honey
    Ain't we got fun?
    The rent's unpaid dear
    We haven't a bus
    But smiles were made dear
    For people like us

    In the winter in the Summer
    Don't we have fun
    Times are bum and getting bummer
    Still we have fun
    There's nothing surer
    The rich get rich and the poor get children
    In the meantime, in between time
    Ain't we got fun?

    Just to make their trouble nearly double
    Something happened last night
    To their chimney a gray bird came
    Mister Stork is his name
    And I'll bet two pins, a pair of twins
    Just happened in with the bird
    Still they're very gay and merry
    Just at dawning I heard

    Ev'ry morning, ev'ry evening
    Don't we have fun
    Twins and cares, dear, come in pairs, dear
    Don't we have fun
    We've only started
    As mommer and pop
    Are we downhearted
    I'll say that we're not

    Landlords mad and getting madder
    Ain't we got fun?
    Times are so bad and getting badder
    Still we have fun
    There's nothing surer
    The rich get rich and the poor get laid off
    In the meantime, in between time
    Ain't we got fun?

    When the man who sold 'em carpets told 'em
    He would take them away
    They said, "Wonderful, here's our chance
    Take them up and we'll dance"
    And when burglars came and robbed them
    Taking all their silver, they say
    Hubby yelled, "We're famous, for they'll name us
    In the pepers today

    Night or daytime, it's all playtime
    Ain't we got fun?
    Hot or cold days, any old days
    Ain't we got fun
    If Wifey wishes
    To go to a play
    Don't wash the dishes
    Just throw them away

    Streetcar seats are awful narrow
    Ain't we got fun?
    They won't smash up our Pierce Arrow
    We ain't got none
    They've cut my wages
    But my income tax will be so much smaller
    When I'm laid off, I'll be paid off
    Ain't we got fun?

    Chorus:
    When The World Has Turned You Down Dear I'll be waiting
    When your friends can’t be found I’ll be there
    When your heart is sad and lonely and no longer wants to roam
    When you have no place to go please come on home!

    It’s been many years ago dear since we parted
    And not one word have I heard from you
    I'm so all alone and broken hearted
    And I wonder if you miss me too

    Darling I just don’t know why you left me
    But I do know my heart is broken in two
    And if someday you should decide you want me
    You’ll always find me waiting here for you

    My Darling if I failed you then I’m sorry
    For I didn’t mean to treat you wrong
    And if you should need me some sad tomorrow
    You’ll always find me waiting here at home

    Chorus:
    When The World Has Turned You Down Dear I'll be waiting
    When your friends can’t be found I’ll be there
    When your heart is sad and lonely and no longer wants to roam
    When you have no place to go please come on home!

    It’s been many years ago since we parted
    And not one word have I heard from you
    And I wonder if you miss me too

    Ain't We Crazy
    Composer(s): Harry McClintock - Asa Martin
    Performer(s): Harry McClintock
    and multiple other artists



    Now, I know a little ditty, it's as crazy as can be
    The guy who wrote it said he wanted it, and handed it to me
    I found I couldn't use it, because it sounded blue
    And that's the very reason why I'm handing it to you

    It's a song the alligators sing, while coming through the rye
    As they serenade the elephants, up in the trees so high
    The iceman hums this ditty, as he shovels in the coal
    And the monkeys join the chorus, up around the northern pole

    Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
    This is the way we pass the time away
    Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
    We're going to sing this song all night today

    It was midnight on the ocean, not a streetcar was in sight
    And the sun was shining brightly, for it rained all day that night
    'Twas a summer night in winter, and the rain was snowing fast
    And a barefoot boy with shoes on stood a-sitting in the grass

    It was evening, and the rising sun was setting in the west
    The little fishes in the trees were huddled in their nests
    The rain was pouring down and the moon was shining bright
    And everything that you could see was hidden out of sight

    While the organ peeled potatoes, lard was rendered by the choir
    The sexton rung the dishrag, someone set the church on fire
    "Holy smoke!" The preacher shouted, in the rain he lost his hair
    Now his head resembles heaven, for there is no parting there

    The cows were making cowslips, and the bells were ringing wet
    And the bumblebees were making bums, and smoking cigarettes
    And a man slept in a stable, and came out a little hoarse
    So he hopped upon his golf sticks, and drove all around the course

    Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
    This is the way we pass the time away
    Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
    We're goin' to sing this song all night today

    It was midnight on the ocean, not a horsecar was in sight
    As I stepped into the drugstore, to get myself a light
    The man behind the counter, was a woman old and gray
    Who used to peddle shoestrings, on the road to Mandalay.

    "Good evening, sir," the woman said, and her eyes were bright with tears
    As she put her head beneath her feet, and stood that way for years
    Her children, six, were orphans, except one tiny tot
    Who lived in a house across the street above a vacant lot

    Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
    But this is the way we pass the time away
    Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
    We're going to sing this song all night today

    When The World Falls Down
    Composer(s): S. Morris; Mick Ronson
    Performer(s): Mick Ronson



    Practical Peter was doing very well
    Life couldn't be sweeter, not as far as he could tell
    But then came a lightning bolt out of the blue
    sent him straight to hell.....

    That's when the world falls down, right on your head, oh yeah
    When the world falls down and it's really very sad

    Riches or ruins
    It's really all the same
    You better watch what you're doing
    It could all go down the drain
    And just when you think your ship has come in
    - watch out - here comes a wave

    That's when the world falls down, right on your head, oh yeah
    When the world falls down and it's really very sad

    ooooooohhhhhhhh

    Sally was singing, as she stepped out of the car
    Church bells were ringing and the vicar knew his part
    But right then the bridegroom decided he'd had a change of heart

    That's when the world falls down, right on your head, oh yeah
    When the world falls down and it's really very sad
    World falls down, falls down, oh yeah
    That's when the world falls down and it's really very sad.......

    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"
    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
    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
