All The Good Times Are Past & Gone
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Fred & Gertrude Gossett
and multiple other artists



I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Or died when I was young
I never would have seen your sparkling blue eyes
Or heard your lying tongue

All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are o'er
All the good times are past and gone
Little darlin', don't weep no more

Don't you see that passing train
Coming around the bend
It's taking away my own true love
Never to return again

Don't you see that turtle dove
That flies from pine to pine
He's mourning for his own true love
Just like I mourn for mine

If you see my own true love
There's something I want you to tell her
Tell her to quit wastin' her time
Runnin' 'round with some other feller

Woody knows nothin' but peckin' on a bow
Under skies of blue
I never knew 'til I met you
What love, oh love could do

Come back, come back, my own true love
And stay awhile with me
For if ever I've had a friend in this world
You've been that friend to me

All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are o'er
All the good times are past and gone
Little darlin', don't weep no more

All The Gold In California
Composer(s): Larry Gatlin
Performer(s): Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers Band



All the gold in California 
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody elses name
So if you're dreaming about California
It dont matter at all where you've played before
California's a brand new game

Trying to be a hero, winding up a zero
Can scar a man forever right down to your soul
Living on the spotlight can kill a man outright
'Cause everything that glitters is not gold

All the gold in California 
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody elses name
So if you're dreaming about California
It dont matter at all where you've played before
California's a brand new game

Wild Night
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison;
and various other artists



As you brush your shoes, you stand before your mirror
And you comb your hair, grab your coat and hat

And you walk the streets trying to remember, ee-yea
All those wild nights breeze through your mind

And every thing looks so complete
When you're walking down on the streets
And the wind, it catches your feet
Sets you flying, crying

Ooh ooh-ooh wee, wild night, is calling
Ooh ooh-ooh wee, wild night, is calling

All the girls walk by, dressed up for each other
And the boys, do the boogie-woogie
On the corner of the stree-ee-eet

And the people passing by, just stare with wild wonder, yea
And inside the juke box roars just like thunder

And every thing looks so complete
When you're walking down on the streets
And the wind, it catches your feet
Sets you flying, crying

Wi-i-i-ild night, is calling
The wi-i-ild night a-is calling
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and dance
C'mon out and make romance, c'mon out and dance
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and make romance

Ooh ooh-ooh we the wild night, is calling

Wild Montana Skies
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver;
Francesca; Emmylou Harris



He was born in the Bitteroot Valley in the early morning rain
Wild geese over the water, heading north and home again
Bringing a warm wind from the south, bringing the first taste of the spring
His mother took him to her breast, and softly she did sing
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies

His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
but he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
His mother's brother took him in to his family and his home
gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
And he learned to be a farmer, and he learned to love the land
and he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies

On the eve of his 2lst birthday, he set out on his own
He was 30 years and running when he found his way back home
Riding a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart
said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone
Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a John
There was something in the city that he said he couldn't breathe
there was something in the country that he said he couldn't leave
Now some say he was crazy, some are glad he’s gone
Some of us will miss him and try to carry on
giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies

All The Girls Love Alice
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of mummy-doesn’t-love-me blues

Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldn’t get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who’s just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean

All the young girls love alice
Tender young alice they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice it’s my turn today

All the young girls love alice
Tender young alice they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband’s away

Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It’s like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl’s bed
And it was only last tuesday they found you in the subway dead

And who could you call your friends down in soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a go-go
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey, oh don’t you know

Wild Is The Wind 
Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin; Ned Washington
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



Love me, love me, love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
Oh wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're Spring to me
All things to me
Don't you know
You're life itself!

Like the leaf
Clings to the tree
Oh my darling cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're Spring to me
All things to me
Don't you know
You're life itself!

Like the leaf
Clings to the tree
Oh my darling cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind, wild is the wind
Wild is the wind, wild is the wind

Wild Indian Woman
Composer(s): Andy Fraser; Paul Rodgers
Performer(s): Free



She was a wild Indian woman and she drove me wild
She was a wild Indian woman till she had my child

You don't need your horses baby, you got me to ride
You don't need your feathers, I'll keep you warm inside
she's got dark brown eyes and long long black hair
she's got a peaceful side but I just don't know where

she used to sleep on the prairie with the stars above
she used to hunt in the woods till I caught her love

You don't need your horses baby, you got me to ride
You don't need your feathers, I'll keep you warm inside
she's got dark brown eyes and long long black hair
she's got a peaceful side but I just don't know where

All The Best
Composer(s): John Prine
First release by: John Prine - 1991
Covered by multiple other artists



I wish you love and happiness
I guess I wish you all the best
I wish you don’t do like I do
And ever fall in love with someone like you
'Cause if you fell just like I did
You’d probably walk around the block like a little kid
But kids don’t know they can only guess
How hard it is to wish you happiness

I guess that love is like a Christmas card
You decorate a tree you throw it in the yard
It decays and dies and the snowmen melt
Well I once knew love I knew how love felt
Yeah I knew love love knew me
And when I walked love walked with me
And I got no hate and I got no pride
Well I got so much love that I cannot hide

Say you drive a Chevy say you drive a Ford
You say you drive around the town till you just get bored
Then you change your mind for something else to do
And your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you
Well it’s a doggone shame and it’s an awful mess
I wish you love I wish you happiness
I wish you love I wish you happiness
I guess I wish you all the best

Wild In The Country
Composer(s): George Wise; Hugo Peretti; Luigi Creatore
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



A rose grows wild in the country
A tree grows tall as the sky
The wind blows wild in the country
And part of the wild, wild country, am I
Wild, wild, like the deer and the dove
Wild and free is this land that I love

A dream grows wild in the country
A love grows tall as the sky
A heart beats wild in the country
And here with a dream in my heart
Part of the wild, wild country, am I

All That Meat And No Potatoes
Composer(s): Ed Kirkeby - Fats Waller
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and multiple other artists



A man works hard, then comes on home
Expects to find stew with that fine ham bone
He opens the door then start to lookin'
Says, "Woman, what's this stuff you're cookin'?"

All that meat, and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Yeah, I'm waiting, palpatatin'
But all that meat, and no potatoes

All that meat, and no potatoes
All that food, to the alligators, yeah
Hold me steady, I am ready
With all that meat and no potatoes

I don't think that peas are bad
With me, most anything goes
I look in the pot, I'm fit to fight
'Cause woman, you know that mess ain't right

All that meat, and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Yes, I'm steamin', I'm really screamin'
All that meat and no potatoes

(Where's my fine hambone? Where is it?

Wild Horses
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Childhood living is easy to do 
The things you wanted I bought them for you 
Graceless lady you know who I am 
You know I can't let you slide through my hands 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away 

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain 
Now you decided to show me the same 
No sweeping exits or offstage lines 
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away 

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie 
I have my freedom but I don't have much time 
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried 
Let's do some living after we die 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

All That Matters
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



The love in you and the love in me, is all that matters 
All the rest is vanity 
That time will shatter 
The only treasure in the life we live, is the measure of the love we give 
All that matters in the end will be 
The love in you and the love in me, that's all that matters 

Every heart must change it's shape 
To fit the space a lifetime makes 
Some regrets and some mistakes 
We touch happiness but we can't hold her 
Feelings come and then disappear 
I know the laughter, I've cried those tears 
I should know better after all these years 
But I'm no wiser, I'm just older 

It's all a question of priority 
We've got so much that we just don't need 
But if it ain't got love then it's luxury 
We can learn to live without it 

Wild Horses
Composer(s): Roy Freeland; Gino Vannelli
Performer(s): Gino Vannelli



As the sun goes down on the arizona plain
and the wind whistles by like a runaway train
hey hey hey it's a beautiful thing
well it's me and you and a flatbed truck
my heart kicking over like a whitetail buck
hey hey hey in the middle of spring

You can cut me deep
you can cut me down
you can cut me loose 
don't you know it's okay
you can kick and scream
you can slap my face
you can set my wheels on a high speed chase
hey no matter what you do

Wild horses could not drag me away from you
Wild horses could not drag me away from you

As the sky falls down from the midnight blue
spittin' like bullets on a hot tin roof
hey hey hey it's a beautiful sound
well it's me and you in a flatbed truck
in a foot of mud just my luck
hey hey hey a hundred miles out of town

You can call me a fool
you can call me blind
you can call it quits
can't hear a word you say
cause if I had you once
I'm gonna have you twice
I'm gonna follow my heart instead of good advice
hey no matter what you do

Wild horses could not drag me away from you
Wild horses could not drag me away from you

All That Keeps Me Goin'
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



All that keeps me goin'
Is knowin' that you love me and you're mine
All that keeps me goin'
Is knowin' you're gonna see me through troubled times

This morning when I woke up that ole sun didn't wanna shine
So I just laid back and let your mem'ry fell down across my mind
And suddenly it was yesterday and I was lying in your arms
And somehow just the thought of you turned my world on and made me warm

All that keeps me goin'...
All that keeps me goin'...

Wild Child
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): Lou Reed



I was talkin' to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit
and his wizard's hat
He spoke of his movie and how he was makin'
a new sound track

And then we spoke of kids on the coast
and different types of organic soap
And the way suicides don't leave notes
Then we spoke of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine

I was speakin' to Phil who was given to pills
and small racing cars
He had given them up since his last crack-up
had carried him too far

Then we spoke of the movies and verse
and the way an actress held her purse
And the way life at times can get worse
Then we spoke of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine

Ah, she's a wild child
and nobody can get at her
She's a wild child
oh, and nobody can get to her

Sleepin' out on the street
Oh, livin' all alone
without a house or a home
and then she asked you, please
hey, baby, can I have some spare change
Oh, can I break your heart?

She's a wild child, she's a wild child

I was talkin' to Betty about her auditions
how they made her ill
But life is the theater, is certainly fraught
with many spills and chills

But she'd come down after some wine
which is what happens most of the time
Then we sat and both spoke in rhymes
Till we spoke of Lorraine
ah, always back to Lorraine

I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead
by mutual friends
He thought it was funny that I had no money
to spend on him

So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese
and sang of our lives and our dreams
And how things can come apart at the seams
And we talk of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine

She's a wild child
oh, and nobody can get at her
She's a wild child
oh, and nobody can get to her

Sleepin' out on the street
Oh, livin' all alone
without a house or a home
and then she asked you, please,
oh, baby, can I have some spare change
Now can I break your heart?"

She's a wild child, she's a wild child

All That Is My Own
Composer(s): Nico 
First release by: Nico - 1970



Your winding winds stood so
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

Every child will be able to weep
Every wise man spoke of him
Every keeper will be sleeper
And a guide to ways unsure

Your winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

He who knows may pass on
The word unknown
And meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore

Your winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

He who knows may pass on
The word unknown
And meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore

Your winding winds stood so
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

He who knows may pass on the word I know
And meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore

Your winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

Wild Bill Jones
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers;
and various other artists



As I went down for to take a little walk 
I came upon that Wild Bill Jones 
He was a walkin’ and a talkin’ by my true lover’s side 
And I bid him to leave her alone 

He said my age is twenty-one 
Too old to be controlled 
I pulled my revolver from my side 
And I destroyed that poor boy’s soul 

He reeled and he staggered, and he fell to the ground 
And then he gave one dying moan 
He wrapped his arms around my little girl’s neck 
Saying honey won’t you take me home 

So put them handcuffs on me boys 
And lead me to that freight car gate 
I have no friends or relations there 
No-one for to go my bail 

So pass around that old long necked bottle 
And we’ll all go on a spree 
For today was the last of that Wild Bill Jones 
And tomorrow will be the last of me 

They sent me to prison for twenty long years 
This poor boy longs to be free 
But Wild Bill Jones and that long-necked bottle 
Have been the ruin of me
