Hoogtij

Performer(s): Willy Sommers - 2007



Het is hoogtij
wanneer de vloed het hoogste staat
Het is hoogtij
wanneer je hart het snelste slaat
Het is hoogtij
in elke vezel van je lijf
Het is hoogtij
en weet je met jezelf geen blijf

Was het te lastig, ging alles weer e's veel te traag
((laat je niet gaan))
Was het oervervelend, zag je weer e's niemand graag
((laat je niet gaan))
Was je bloeddruk hoog en dan weer veel te laag
((laat je niet gaan))
dan toch niet vandaag

Want het is hoogtij
tijd om uit de bol te gaan
Het is hoogtij
niemand kan het weerstaan
Het is hoogtij
door het toedoen van de maan
is het hoogtij
zijn al je zorgen van de baan

Was het niet wat je noemt je beste week
((laat je niet gaan))
Liet iedereen of toch bijna je weer e's in de steek
((laat je niet gaan))
Kom dan hier naartoe en ook al heb je motorpech
((laat je niet gaan))
blijf maar onderweg

Want het is hoogtij
je problemen zijn in een wip geflikt
Het is hoogtij
je wordt zó door iemand opgebiept
Het is hoogtij
iedereen komt recht hierheen
Het is hoogtij
we laten je toch niet alleen

En ook al was het zoals je zegt je dagje niet
((laat je niet gaan))
Het leven is geen dal vol tranen en verdriet
((laat je niet gaan))
Sla nu maar meteen linksaf en maak een rechtsomkeer
((laat je niet gaan))
zo zie je weer

Want het is hoogtij
dan kunnen we niet zonder jou
Het is hoogtij
vergeet die zorgen nu maar gauw
Het is hoogtij
we willen dat je mee geniet
Het is hoogtij
haast je maar en mis het niet
Het is hoogtij
alles komt weer op z'n plooi
Het is hoogtij
het leven wordt weer even mooi
Het is hoogtij
vergeet wat ooit is geweest
Het is hoogtij
vanavond is het enkel feest

I Went To Your Wedding

and multiple other artists



I went to your wedding
Although I was dreading
The thought of losing you
The organ was playing
My poor heart kept saying
My dreams, my dreams are through

You came down the aisle
Wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh
And then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness

Your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you

You came down the aisle
Wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh
And then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness

Oh, your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you

Kungens Vaktparad
English Title: The King's Changing Of The Guard
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Många går och drömmer, önskar sej nåt visst
Några kanske får det som dom vill till sist
Ni ska få höra om en liten grabb jag vet
Han ville helst av allt ha en trumpet

När han fyllde ät ta, fick han sitt paket
Och där låg hans fina blänkande trumpet
Han blåste hela dan tills han blev trött och varm
Och somna med trumpeten på sin arm

Då drömde han att han marscherade
Så stolt i kungens vaktparad
Och fanor fladdrade i solens sken
Och folket stod i rad pårad

Då drom:mde han att han marscherade
Gick främst i kungens vaktparad
Och folket hurrade och kungen log
Och sä "Han är en stolthet för vår stad"

Sen när han blev äldre, växte upp till man
Fick han göra lumpen, kriga för sitt land
Men när befälet vråla halt och skrek givakt
Då gick hans tankar i en annan takt

Då drömde han att han marscherade
Så stolt i kungens vaktparad
Och fanor fladdrade i solens sken
Och folket stod i rad pårad

Då drom:mde han att han marscherade
Gick främst i kungens vaktparad
Och folket hurrade och kungen log
Och sä "Han är en stolthet för vår stad"

Tulsa Time
Composer(s): Danny Flowers
First release: Don Williams - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists



I left Oklahoma driving in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was going on to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where all the people live so fine
My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was going to show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more schooling
I was born to just walk the line

Living on Tulsa time
Living on Tulsa time
Well you know I've been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Living on Tulsa time

Well there I was in Hollywood wishing I was doing good
Talking on the telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wasting time
Well then I got to thinking, man I'm really sinking
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving and nobody would be grieving
If I went on back to Tulsa time

Living on Tulsa time
Living on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I've been through it
Living on Tulsa time

I Wasn't The One (Who Said Goodbye)
Composer(s): Mark Mueller; Aaron Zigman
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Peter Cetera



Your eyes and my eyes haven't talked in quite a while
Seems like a lifetime since I walked beside your smile
There's a dark cloud that's hanging above
Memories never lie, still we talk about the way that it was
And I think we both know the feelings haven't died

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try

Your touch and my touch haven't spoken for some time
You say we've both changed and you're always on my mind
Always on my mind... I can tell you that it's over and done
But I would only lose being close to the one that I want
So go on, and ask me if I'm still in love with you

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try

No, there was no need for you to ask
Oh please don't ask
You ought to know by now
Oh babe, I want you back

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night ...

Kussen Onder Regenbogen
Composer(s): Bradtke; Bruhn; Louis Baret
Performer(s): Ann Christy



Kussen onder regenbogen brengen geluk
En doen je hart sneller slaan
Kussen onder regenbogen doen stuk voor stuk
Oprechte liefde ontstaan

Als wij de zon zien zijn wij verblijd
Maar als het regent terzelfdertijd
Zijn wij nog eens zo blij en zien omhoog
Want wij verlangen een regenboog

Kussen onder regenbogen brengen geluk
En doen je hart sneller slaan
Kussen onder regenbogen doen stuk voor stuk
Oprechte liefde ontstaan

't Is net een sprookje voor jou en mij
Nooit krijgt een ander ons hart nog vrij
Ik heb ervan gedroomd en heb gewacht
Totdat de regenboog mij antwoord bracht

Kussen onder regenbogen brengen geluk
En doen je hart sneller slaan
Kussen onder regenbogen doen stuk voor stuk
Oprechte liefde ontstaan
Oprechte liefde ontstaan

Tulsa Queen
Composer(s): Emmylou Harris - Rodney Crowell
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris



I heard the train 
In the Tulsa night 
Calling out my name 
Looking for a fight 
She's come a long, long way 
Got a longer way to go 
So tell me how a train from Tulsa 
Has got a right to know 
She sings a song 
So sad and high 
And the Tulsa Queen 
Don't ever lie 
And she don't care where she goes 
Don't care where she's been 
And the Tulsa Queen ain't crying 
'Cause I won't see you again
Hey Hey Hey 
And I want to ride 
Like a Tulsa Queen 
Calling out to you 
As she calls to me 
As far away from Tulsa 
As these ten wheels can be 
Lately I speak 
Your name too loud 
Each time it comes up 
In a crowd 
And I know it when I do 
The Tulsa Queen and you 
Are gone... 

I Wasn't Born In Tennessee
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Performer(s): Chip Taylor



Got my four pedal streel player
Jimmy's got his fiddle makin' like it was his own world
Got them city hillbillies an' them green-eyed fillies
Lookin' up at me like I was Merle
An' if we can't fool 'em all the time
It's all right with me
'Cause it's still my song, ain't nothin' wrong
An' I wasn't born in Tennessee

I was seven an' ten years an' hidin' my fears
Behind the sound of a steel guitar
Though the city was rockin', we was country
Sockin' it to 'em at a Mount Burnham bar
Them city folks, we was doin' our strokes
And that don't qualify me
I'll be back again, you remember then
That I wasn't born in Tennessee

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on LSD
An' we don't burn our draft cards down on main street, by golly
We like livin' right an' bein' free

I heard old Hag singin' about doin' his thing
An' I was proud of the things that he'd done
An' how them San Fran hippies an' them L.A. yippies
Ain't changin' that Okie none
But with every show, I see his sideburns grow
An' there's hair where his face used to be
An' in a year or so, you may never know
That I wasn't born in Tennessee

Pick it, John

I keep pushin' my ballpoint an' doin' a joint
Tryin' to get these words to rhyme
An' it'll be my pride if I can hide
My side of the Mason-Dixon line
But if that don't play your party
Honey, it's all right with me
'Cause I've got my dream waitin' just upstream
An' I wasn't born in Tennessee

Here we go

Got my four pedal streel player
Jimmy's got his fiddle makin' like it was his own world
Got them city hillbillies an' them green-eyed fillies
Lookin' up at me like I was Merle
An' if we can't fool 'em all the time
It's all right with me
'Cause it's still my song, ain't nothin' wrong
An' I wasn't born 
(Wasn't born)
On a farm 
(On a farm)
I never knew a horse I didn't wager on
I wasn't born in Tennessee

Ku-u-i-po
Composer(s): Perretii; Luigi Creatore; Weiss
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Ku-u-i-po I love you more today
More today than yesterday
But I love you less today
Less than I will tomorrow

See the sweet Hawaiian rose
See it blossom see it grow
That's the story of our love
Ever since we said hello

As the years go passing by
We'll recall our wedding day
I will be there by your side
You will always hear me say

Ku-u-i-po, you're my Hawaiian sweetheart

Wensen jou het allermooiste! 
Wat mijn mond niet zeggen kan

I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water
French Title: Je Me Suis Lavé Les Mains Dans Une Eau Sale - 1966
Composer(s): Joe Babcock
First release by: Stonewall Jackson - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I was born in Macon, Georgia 
They kept my Daddy in the Macon jail
He said, Son, if you keep your hands clean, uh huh
You wont hear those bloodhounds on your trail

I fell in with bad companions
I robbed a man up in Tennessee
And I got caught way up in Nashville, uh huh now
And they locked me up and threw away the key

I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands, but they didnt come clean
I tried to do like my daddy told me, now
I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

I asked the jailer, said Whens my time up?
He said Son, you know we wont forget
And if you try and just keep your hands clean, uh huh
Why we may just make a good man of you yet

But I didnt wait to get my time in
I broke down, broke out the Nashville jail
I just crossed Atlanta, Georgia, oh now
And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail

I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands, but they didnt come clean
I tried to do like my daddy told me, now
I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

De la pauvre communauté

Dieu vient de rappeler Sœur Marie
Kyrié, kyrié
O ma Petite Sœur
Comme je t'aimais!
Et maintenant tu es morte
Je t'aimais tellement, tellement
Et moi dans mon miserere
Kyrié, kyrié
Je prie pour celle que j'aimais
Je pleure celle que j'aimais

Tulips From Amsterdam

When it's Spring again I'll bring again
Tulips from Amsterdam
With a heart thats true I'll give to you
Tulips from Amsterdam
I can't wait until the day you fill
These eager arms of mine
Like the windmill keeps on turning
That's how my heart keeps on yearning
For the day I know we can share these 
Tulips from Amsterdam

Please Mr. Brown
Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Don Raye
Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan



Please Mr. Brown
Take it easy you’re spoiling my gown
Oh I know music brings out that yearning
But right now you’re learning to tango

Please Mr. Jones
Not so tight you are crushing my bones
I’ll just bet you’re an expert on wooing
But right now we’re doing a tango

You boys, in spite of all the dancing lessons you bought
Out on the dance floor, have but one school of thought
And that is anything but what my dancing teacher taught

Please Mr. Smith
It’s a lady that you’re dancing with
There’s a time and a place for romancing
But not while we’re dancing the tango

Now you guys are just a bunch of wolves in ivy league clothes
Think as long as music’s playing anything goes
No one who wants a fellow wants a slow one
But I’m a gal who wants to know one
Who knows what every lady knows

Please Mr. Smith
It’s a lady that you’re dancing with
There’s a time and a place for romancing
But not while we’re dancing
The tango

Kyrie
Composer(s): Steve George; Lang; Page
Performer(s): Mr. Mister



The wind blows hard against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches in to where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road
My heart is old it holds my memories
My body burns a gemlike flame
Somewhere between the soul & soft machine
Is where I find myself again

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison
On a highway in the light

When I was young I thought of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Or only wished what I could be

Tulips And Heather
Composer(s): Milton Carson
Performer(s): Perry Como
and multiple other artists



The spray of tulips and heather tied up together
I sent my love today
A spray of tulips and heather, asking her whether
Love’s dream had gone astray
For there’s a meaning to all the flowers
They tell the story that never lies
This purple heather means lonely hours
And tulips weep for a love that dies
And so I pray when they reach you
If they can teach you all that is in my heart
My spray of tulips and heather bring us together
Never again to part

(For there’s a meaning)
My tulips and heather
(To all the flowers)
Are tied up together
(They tell you a story)
They tell you a tale
That never lies
(This purple heather)
This beautiful heather
(Means lonely hours)
Means lonely forever
(And tulips weep for)
These tulips convey
A love that dies

And so I pray when they reach you
If they can teach you all that is in my heart
My spray of tulips and heather bring us together
Never again to part
My darling, never again to part

I Was Wrong
Composer(s): Graham Parker
Performer(s): Graham Parker



I dreamed I was someone special In another life
They gave me my fifteen minutes Then they pulled the knife

It was just another deal It was just another reel
On a tape that keeps on turning In the dark in another world

I thought I was right I was wrong
I thought I had something I was wrong
I must have been dreaming All along
I was wrong I was wrong

I had been replaced By a man who had no face
And who could not be traced To an address Just a better place

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh oh

I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong

Keep It A Secret
Composer(s): Jessie Mae Robinson
First release by: Slim Whitman - 1952
Covered by multiple other artists



If you see my darlin' with somebody new
Keep it a secret whatever you do
Why should you tell me and break my poor heart
Then foolish pride would just drive us apart
If you see my darlin' in some rendezvous
Painting the town with a boy she once knew
Pay no attention and just let it be
But keep it a secret from me
If you see my darlin' in some rendezvous
Painting the town with a boy she once knew
Pay no attention and just let it be
But keep it a secret from me

Tulip Time In Sing Sing
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - P.G. Wodehouse
Performer(s): Merwin Goldsmith



Up the river there's a college
Which authorities acknowledge
Is a cosy sort of place to go and dwell
And with joy each student chortles
As he passes through its portals
And the faculty conducts him to his cell

How I wish that there I'd waited
Wish I'd never graduated
For the memory of those days still stirs me so
And the birdies every Spring sing
"Aren't you coming back to Sing Sing
Where you used to be so happy long ago"

When it's tulip time in Sing Sing
Oh, it's there that I would be
There are gentle hearts in Sing Sing
Watching and yearning for me
Oh, I wish that I was back
With a rock or two to crack
With my pals of the class of ninety-nine
And I miss the peace and quiet
And the simple, wholesome diet
Of that dear, old-fashioned prison of mine!

Oh, I'd give a lot to go there
Life was never dull or slow there
Every night there was a concert or a hop
Or I'd sit discussing Coué
With my old pal Bat-eared Louie,
Quite the nicest man who ever slugged a cop

We were just a band of brothers
Each as good as all the others
As the humblest sort of sneak thief you might rank,
But when you'd been there a week, well
You were treated as an equal
By the high and mighty swells who'd robbed a bank

When it's tulip time in Sing Sing
Oh, it's there that I would be
There are gentle hearts in Sing Sing
Watching and yearning for me
Oh, there's no place like home
And I'm tired of having to roam
Through the world with its women and its wine
So just bob my hair and shove me
Where I know the warders love me
In that dear old-fashioned prison of mine!

I Was Warned
Composer(s): Robert Cray; Dennis Walker
Performer(s): Robert Cray



Oh, I was warned about her love
But like a fool I went on
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone

The more people talked about her
The more I had to see
I had to find out for myself
What could she do for me
Her lips were so inviting
Her hands soft to touch
After just one kiss
I knew I was out of luck
From then on I was hers to control
And knowing that, she robbed me
Of my heart and robbed me of my soul

Oh I was warned about her love
And I'll have to stay strong
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
From then on I was hers to control
And knowing that she robbed me of my heart
And robbed me of my soul, yeah

Oh I was warned about her love
But like a fool I went on
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone

She had a left hand filled with diamonds
And the other filled with lies
She saw right through me
There was no p[lace to hide
Now I've finally learned my lesson
But you'll never tell
the pain her love left me
I hide so well
I go on day by day in fear
And knowing that I'll never, never love again
Only brings tears

Oh I was warned about her love
And I'll have to stay strong
Whether they're right or they're wrong
At least the mystery is gone
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
I was warned about her love
