Ambush
Composer(s): Robert Irving - Mark Lindsay
Performer(s): Mark Lindsay



You thundered in -- all your sabers were blazing 
Fired your guns in a mighty barrage 
Under a full moon I fell by the water 
As you rode away with your cold entourage 

I cried for peace but your eyes filled with venom 
A drop fell between us -- it drove us apart 
I was racing the wind singing songs with my brothers 
Your Winchester bullet went straight through my heart 

Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground 
Oh... oh... -- wheel is turning 'round
Oh... oh... -- waiting for the buffalo 
Pounding like drums on the ground 

It's been so long since I swam Crooked River
Running the banks chasing clouds in the sky 
Watching the salmon charge up through the rapids 
Fighting to spawn and to die 
The prairies are gone and the forests have fallen 
A river of tears flows away to the sea
I lie with my pony 'neath ground that God gave me 
An arrowhead marker for all eyes to see 

Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground 
Oh... oh... -- wheel is turning 'round
Oh... oh... -- waiting for the buffalo 
Pounding like drums on the ground 

Fish cannot fly over dams in the river 
Ravens are dark in the sky 

Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground 
Wheel of weeping slowly turns around 
Now I'm sleeping waiting for the buffalo 
Pounding like drums on the ground 

Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground 
Oh... oh... -- wheel is turning 'round
Oh... oh... -- waiting for the buffalo 
Pounding like drums on the ground

Words and music make a song for our hearts to sing along
Like a choir within the air, there'll be music ev'rywhere
A bitter tear across your cheek
A smile from you is all I need
We'll give them cause to breathe the air
There'll be lovers ev'rywhere

I'll be your singer and your song
for all the love you've brought along
I'll be your day, I'll be your night
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And when the morning brings it's light
And Mister Moonlight says goodbye
My hand is shaking when you smile
You make me feel just like a child
My mind is searching for a way
so that you won't have to say
You've got to go and can't come back
But I can't think you'd make me sad

I'll be your singer and your song
for all the love you've brought along
I'll be your day, I'll be your night
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love

(take away the pain in me)
I'll be your singer and your song

(soon you'll see a change in me)
for all the love you've brought along

(what's the point of going on)
I'll be your day, I'll be your night

(the story ends, the feelings gone)
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love

(the story ends, the feelings gone)
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love

The lamp that lights the way
Is a light from yesterday
The drum which leads the way
Is a sound from yesterday

The road is filled with shadows
Of a million, living leaves
Darkness all around us
And not a friend in sight

We sang a song together
To help us through the night
The song was sung with spirit
But soft, and like a choir

And as the others sang along
Our voices lifted higher
We sang until we reached the bridge
We crossed, then saw the wire

But by the time we stopped the song
The enemy had opened fire

Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more
Ain't gonna sing that song no more
Just don't pay to sing no more
Especially when you're in a war 
A war

Now, this time through
We want everybody to listen to the punchline
All right 
All right 
All right! 
All right!

The song was sung with spirit
But soft and like a choir
But by the time we stopped the song
The enemy had opened fire

Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more
Ain't gonna sing that song no more
Just don't pay to sing no more
Especially when you're in a war

Girl, don't you know everytime I see you smiling
It hurts so bad, 'cause when I see you, I start crying
I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying
Falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying

Oh, don't walk away
How, how can I make you stay
Don't turn away
I can still hear you saying those words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh

Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking
You won't turn around or slow down your walking
I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it
You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it

Now, I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh

Now, I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through

Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through

Words that never were true
Just spoken to help nobody but you...

Ambulance Blues
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young - 1974



Back in the old folky days
The air was magic when we played
The riverboat was rockin' in the rain
Midnight was the time for the raid
Oh, Isabela, proud Isabela
They tore you down and plowed you under
You're only real with your make-up on
How could I see you and stay too long?
All along the Navajo Trail
Burn-outs stub their toes on garbage pails
Waitresses are cryin' in the rain
Will their boyfriends pass this way again?
Oh, Mother Goose, she's on the skids
Sure ain't happy, neither are the kids
She needs someone that she can scream at
And I'm such a heel for makin' her feel so bad
I guess I'll call it sickness gone
It's hard to say the meaning of this song
An ambulance can only go so fast
It's easy to get buried in the past
When you try to make a good thing last
I saw today in the entertainment section
There's room at the top for private detection
To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter
But it's either that or pay off the kidnapper
So all you critics sit alone
You're no better than me for what you've shown
With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams
We could get together for some scenes
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he's talkin' to?
'Cause I know it ain't me, and I hope it isn't you
Well, I'm up in T.O. keepin' jive alive
And out on the corner it's half past five
But the subways are empty
And so are the cafes
Except for the Farmer's Market
And I still can hear him say
You're all just pissin' in the wind
You don't know it but you are
And there ain't nothin' like a friend
Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he's talking to?
Cause I know it ain't me, and hope it isn't you  

Words
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Words are easy to be spoken
I know that and so do you
But when I said "I love you, Darling"
Every word of it was true

Fancy words, I've never used them
Since I met you from the start
Plain old simple words are better
They come directly from the heart

When I take your hand forever
All the chapel bells will chime
Woh-oh-oh-oh, we will say I do together
And with these words, I'll make you mine
(With these words)

Ambitious
Composer(s): Nile Rodgers
Performer(s): Jeff Beck



Here is a rich boy, a bit of a brat
To him life's just a fling
Phi Beta Kappa and first in his class
He's treated just like a king
And he says, "I'm not sure what it is I must have
so I guess I'll just take everything"

He's just ambitious
He's not a bad man
He's just ambitious
He's not a bad man
Just ambitious
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious

Here is a young girl, born down and out
Locked up in jail when she was ten
Now in the courtroom, she's got a bit of doubt
Sits on the judge side of the bench

She's just ambitious
She's not a bad girl
She's just ambitious
She's not a bad girl
Just ambitious
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious

Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight
And his cool streak gets him by
All these four-letter words in his mind
Here is a man who'll survive

He's just ambitious
He's just a wild man
He's just ambitious
He's just a wild man
Just ambitious
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious

Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight
Just ambitious
Always a four-letter word in his mind
Just ambitious

Don't you know, I'm just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious

Smile an everlasting smile
A smile could bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story
Now my love right now there'll be
No other time and I can show you
How my love
Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away

Amber Tresses (Tied In Blue)
Composer(s): A.P. Carter
Performer(s): Flatt & Scruggs



Far away in sunny mountains
Where the merry sunbeams play 
There I wandered thru the clover 
Singing to a village maid 
 
She was dearer than the dearest 
Ever loving kind and true 
And she wore beneath her bonnet 
Amber tresses tied in blue 
 
Fact decreed that we be parted 
Ere the leaves of autumn fell 
Then two hearts were separated 
That had loved each other well 

She was all I had to cherish 
Every loving king and true 
Now I see in every vision 
Amber tresses tied in blue  

Wop She 'Ad It-Io
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Copper Family



Now once I courted a pretty girl I courted her quite well
Her name was Kitty-mariga Maria and mine was Bobby Wells
One night when I was courting Kit when her father was at home
He said, If I catch you here again I'll tickle your bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

Now Kit and I we did agree a ladder for to bring
We placed it under the window and by gum, it was just the thing
We laughed and chattered and chattered and talked when all at once, by gum
My foot slipped through the ladder and I fell and cut my bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

They wheeled me home in a wheelbarrow they wheeled me home with care
And when I got to the farmyard gate, oh, didn't the old folks stare
My brother Jim came running out and said what have you done
I've been a-courting Kit, said I, and fell and cut my bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

They took me to the doctor's and there I showed my case
And didn't they do a grin when I showed 'em my Sunday face
They thought I was making a fool of them, but a fool of them, by gum
I thought they were making a fool of me when they turpentined my bum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

Now Kit and I we did agree for to get wed
She made me a sling to put my bum in and through it I cocked my leg
As we were walking down the street the kids did shout, by gum
There goes the man with his bum in a sling that fell and cut his bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

Amber Cascades
Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell
Performer(s): America



Amber cascades all over today
Then we walk on a crooked catwalk
Only to be delayed
Bubbles of blue burst into two
Eaten up by the incoming tide
Of the new

Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view

Granite charades are played in the rain
Till we fall through a sand castle window
To avoid the pain
Summer canoe paddles up to you
'cause it's time for another beer run
Or something that's equally true

Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view

Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view

Get yourself a filly
To pull the wool with you

Wooly Bully

You got it, you got it

Ambar Violeta
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez; Elena Roger



Rayos del sol a la hora del sol 
Ella estaba en cualquiera 
En cualquier estación esperando una fatalidad
o un llamado del cielo 

Siente un mareo de baja presión 
Por lo menos le queda ese poco de humor 
¿Para qué? si una pasa buscando 
y perdiendo certezas
 
Solo cuando se va 
Solo cuando no está en esto, amor 
Le hace bien 
Meterse en su laberinto carrousel 
Le hace bien 
 
Nada está aquí ni mejor ni peor 
Solamente sus ojos cambian de color 
A una hora del día 
Se tiñen de un ámbar violeta 
 
Nadie ni nadie la vio 
Ahora tiene un gran cuerno bajo el corazón 
Y se escapa de todos los hombres  
Que quieren tenerla 
 
Solo cuando se va 
Solo cuando no está en esto amor

Woody's Rag/Hard Work
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie



While we're on the subject of hard work 
I just wanted to say that I always was a man to work

I was born working and I worked my way up by hard work 
I ain't never got nowhere yet but I got there by hard work

Work of the hardest kind 
I been down and I been out and I've been busted, disgusted and couldn't be trusted

I worked my way up and I worked my way down 
I've been drunk and I've been sober 
I've had hard times and I got hijacked and been robbed for cash and robbed on credit

Worked my way into jail and outta jail and I woke up
a lotta mornings and I didn't even know where I was at

But the hardest work I ever done is when I was trying
to get myself a worried woman to ease my worried mind

Now I'm gonna tell you just about how much hard
work I had to do to get this here woman that I'm a-tellin' you about

I shook hands with 97 of her kinfolks and her blood
relatives and I done the same with 86 people that was
just her friends and her neighbors

Kissed 73 babies and put dry pants on 34 of 'em, as well
as others, and done the When thing several times, as well
as a lot of other things just about like this

I held 125 head of wild horses, put saddles and bridles
on more than that, harnessed some of the craziest
wildest teams in the whole country. I rode 14 loco
broncos to a dead standstill and let 42 hound dogs lick me all over

7 times I was bit by hungry dogs and I was chewed
all to pieces by water moccasins and rattlesnakes on
2 separate river bottoms

I chopped and I carried 314 arm loads of stoved wood 
100 buckets of coal, and I carried a gallon of
kerosene 18 miles and lost a good pair of shoes in a mud hole

And I chopped and I weeded 48 rows of short cotton
13 acres of bad corn and cut the sticker weeds out of
11 back yards, all on account a 'cause I wanted to
show her that I was a man and I liked to work

I cleaned out 9 barnloads, and cranked 31 automobiles
all makes and models, pulled 3 cars out of mud
holes and 4 out of snowdrifts

I dug 5 cisterns of water for some of her friends and
neighbors and run all kinds of errands

I played the fiddle for 9 church meetings and I joined
11 separate denominations. I signed up and joined
up for 7 of the best trade unions I could find and paid
my dues about 6 weeks ahead of time, waded 40
miles of swamps, 60 big rivers, walked across 2
mountain ranges and crossed 3 deserts

I got the fever and I got the sun stroke and I got the
malaria and I got the flu and I got moonstruck and
skeeter bit, the poison ivy and the 7 year itch and the blind staggers

I was given up for lost and dead about 2 dozen times
Struck by lightning, struck by Congress, struck
by friends and kinfolks, as well as by 3 cars on
the highways and a lotta times in peoples' henhouses

I been hit and run down and run over and
walked on and knocked around and I'm just
settin' here now trying to study up what else I
can do to show that woman that I still ain't afraid of hard work

Amazonia
Amazonia

From the heart of Amazonia
Comes the very air we breathe

But the people there are poor
Can't see the forest for the trees

In the time it takes to sing this song
Another acre's gone

Gotta save the Amazonia
Before all of it is gone

Amazonia
Amazonia

With so many people hungry
All those children there to feed

No use blaming the Sinterras
They've got families

Finding other ways to prosper
Realize the damage done

Educate them with an answer
And take care of everyone

In Amazonia

Amazonia
Amazonia

Simple answers are much harder
To accomplish than the rest

And there's always someone getting hurt
When you have to do what's best

So put your imagination
And your shoulder to the task

Save the rain forest from ourselves
There's no more we can ask

Woodstock
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Originally performed by: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Covered by various other artists



I came upon a child of God 
He was walking along the road 
And I asked him, where are you going 
And this he told me 
I´m going on down to Yasgur´s farm 
I´m going to join in a rock ´n´ roll band 
I´m going to camp out on the land 
And try and get my soul free 
We are stardust 
We are golden 
And we´ve got to get ourselves 
Back to the garden 

Then can I walk beside you 
I have come here to lose the smog 
And I feel to be a cog in something turning 
Well maybe it is just the time of year 
Or maybe it´s the time of man 
I don´t know who l am 
But life is for learning 
We are stardust 
We are golden 
And we´ve got to get ourselves 
Back to the garden 

By the time we got to Woodstock 
We were half a million strong 
And everywhere there was song and celebration 
And I dreamed I saw the bombers 
Riding shotgun in the sky 
And they were turning into butterflies 
Above our nation 
We are stardust 
We are golden 
And we´ve got to get ourselves 
Back to the garden

Amazone, À La Vie
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Un jour, tombe la feuille
Même si le cœur s'en va
Il reste l'Amazone
Et l'automne attendra...

Même si tombe la feuille
Quand arrive le froid
Ma vie est une blonde
Qui danse la samba...

Catastrophes et chantages
Cyclones, inondations
Pénurie et chômage
Enfants dans le goudron...

Industries qui se meurent
La faim près de la maison
La toit qui s'abandonne
La pluie dans le salon

Et même le téléphone
Qui sonne sans raison
Pour chaque vers une pomme
Pour chaque honte un front...

Un peu d'amour sauvage
Un peu de café au lit
Deux, trois fleurs libérées
D'une serre sans vent ni pluie

Un peu d'amour tout sage
Des miettes au fond du lit
Des gestes libérés
De tout ce qui se paie...

Amazone, Amazone, à la vie...

Woodman! Spare That Tree!
Composer(s): Henry Russell
Performer(s): Douglas Jimerson; Americus Brass Band



Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me
And I'll protect it now
'Twas my forefather's hand
That placed it near his cot
There, woodman, let it stand
Thy axe shall harm it not!

That old familiar tree
Whose glory and renown
Are spread o'er land and sea
And wouldst thou hew it down?
Woodman, forbear thy stroke!
Cut not its earth-bound ties
Oh, spare that aged oak
Now towering to the skies!

When but an idle boy
I sought its grateful shade
In all their gushing joy
Here too my sisters played
My mother kissed me here
My father pressed my hand
Forgive this foolish tear
But let that old oak stand!

My heart-strings round thee cling
Close as thy bark, old friend!
Here shall the wild-bird sing
And still thy branches bend
Old tree! the storm still brave!
And, woodman, leave the spot
While I've a hand to save
Thy axe shall harm it not

Amazona
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry - Phil Manzanera
Performer(s): Roxy Music



Amazona
Is a zone where
There is no doubt
No more fall-out 
Why don´t you step
Through the mirror and see?
From Arizona
To Eldorado
Sure is a mighty long way
Hey little girl
Is something wrong?
I know it´s hard
For you to get along
The bell-tower rings
It tolls a hollow sound
But your castles in Spain
Still may be realised
And longings more profound
You see - every cloud
Has a silver lining
And sometimes paradise
Around your corner lies
In Amazona everything is nice
Little one - come take my hand?
I´ll try to help you there 
I´ll take you there.
Amazona´s
Getting closer
Oh soon you´ll see
Journey’s over
We’re almost there

Wooden Ships
Composer(s): David Crosby; Stephen Stills; Paul Kantner
Originally performed and made famous by: Crosby, Stills & Nash
Covered by various other artists



Stills: If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
in the same language
Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend
you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won?
Stills: Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
haven't got sick once
Stills: Probably keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy...
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving - you don't need us

Go, take your sister then, by the hand
lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving - you don't need us

And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go...
