Rusty Hinge Composer(s): Lew Brown Performer(s): Louis Jordan & Chick Webb
Rusty hinge on the bench Never satisfied with what I've got I'm a good for nothin' rusty hinge Always cringe!
I'll be drinkin' my corn Till Gabriel blows his horn! That music gets me swinging Maybe I don't know What it means to swing Baby, I don't care When I open my mouth and start to swing!
Rusty hinge on a bench Never satisfied with what I've got I'm a good for nothin' rusty hinge!

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
And I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
This Guitar Is For Sale Composer(s): Shel Silverstein - Fred Koller First release by: Bobby Bare - 1978
This guitar is for sale, I'll let her go cheap She's pretty to look at but she don't earn her keep She can roar like the west wind, she can weep, she can wail But the tunes that she plays just ain't sellin' today This guitar is for sale.
She lay close beside me on cold winter nights She's got me in trouble and she won me some fights We both come out all right She knows all the sad songs that Hank ever wrote Just touch her once gently and she'll take you on home She'll tell you some stories 'bout junk yards and jails And a fool with a song and a dream that went wrong This guitar is for sale.
She's rode cross this country on freight trains and trucks On 'round pawnshop windows when we're down on our luck We been down on our luck So please treat her kind, keep her out of the rain It's funny you're askin', I never gave her a name But if you say she looks weary, you been readin' our mail So if you got the dough buddy take her and go This guitar is for sale.
She's won me some ladies with her sweet lovin' songs And she's stuck right here with me when the ladies were gone And the ladies are gone But hard times and trouble been doggin' our tail So if you got the dough buddy take her and go This guitar is for sale...

Avevamo cinque anni correvamo sui cavalli io e lei contro agli indiani eravamo due cow boy
bang bang, di colpo lei bang bang, lei si voltò bang bang, di colpo lei bang bang, a terra mi gettò
Non si può fermare il tempo non si può mutare il vento quindici anni aveva lei ricordo quando mi baciò
bang bang, di colpo lei bang bang, lei si voltò bang bang, lei mi baciò bang bang, e a terra mi lasciò
Sempre al mondo ci sarà chi quei colpi sparerà Sempre al mondo ci sarà chi quei colpi sparerà

Nous avions dix ans à peine Tous nos jeux étaient les mêmes Aux gendarmes et aux voleurs Tu me visais droit au cur Bang bang, tu me tuais Bang bang, et je tombais Bang bang, et ce bruit-là Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas
Nous avons grandi ensemble On s'aimait bien il me semble Mais tu n'avais de passion Que pour tes jeux de garçon Bang bang, tu t'amusais Bang bang, je te suivais Bang bang, et ce bruit-là Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas
Un jour tu as eu vingt ans Il y avait déjà longtemps Que l'amour avait remplacé Notre amitié du passé Et quand il en vint une autre On ne sait à qui la faute Tu ne m'avais jamais menti Avec elle tu es parti Bang bang, tu m'as quittée Bang bang, je suis restée Bang bang, et ce bruit-là Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas
Quand j'aperçois des enfants Se poursuivre en s'amusant Et faire semblant de se tuer Je me sens le cur serré Bang bang, je me souviens Bang bang, tout me revient Bang bang, et ce bruit-là Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas
Troubadour Song Composer(s): Louis Pippa Performer(s): Burl Ives
Do you happen to know of a maiden in need Of a sweetheart? Here's one who is anxious to plead It's a shame that a handsome young fellow like me Should be left while the nightingale sings in the tree It's a shame that a handsome young fellow like me Should be left while the nightingale sings in the tree
In the wood and the meadow, beneath the bright moon Every lad with his lass makes the most of the June The world's gone a-wooing, excepting of me While the nightingale sings to his mate in the tree The world's gone a-wooing, excepting of me While the nightingale sings to his mate in the tree
The time, it is short, there is none I can spare For the nightingale's song will soon die in the air Don't you think, dearest Phyllis, you'd better agree To make love while the nightingale sings in the tree? Don't you think, dearest Phyllis, you'd better agree To make love while the nightingale sings in the tree?
Der Junge Mit Der Mundharmonika Performer(s): Christian Anders
Da war ein Traum, der so alt ist, wie die Welt Und der ihn traeumt, hoert ihm zu, der ihn erzaehlt
Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika singt von dem, was einst geschah in silbernen Traeumen von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht die in sternenklarer Nacht Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht
Du hoerst sein Lied und ein Engel steht im Raum Dann weißt du nicht, ist es Wahrheit oder Traum
Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika singt von dem, was einst geschah in silbernen Traeumen von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht die in sternenklarer Nacht Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht
Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika singt von dem, was einst geschah in silbernen Traeumen von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht die in sternenklarer Nacht Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht

While you sit and seek a crescent moon is laying At your feet With hope that's made of sand It don't think you can But you have held it all in your hands
I've been trying hard to keep from needing you But from the start My heart just rolled and flowed I've seen where it goes Still somehow my love for you grows, Lady-0
So on my heels I'll grow wings Gonna ride silver strings But I'll see you in my holiest dreams, Lady-0
(repeat chorus)
I've been trying hard to keep from needing you But from the start My heart just rolled and flowed I've seen where it goes
Still somehow my love for you grows, Lady-O So on my heels I'll grow wings Gonna ride silver strings But I'll see you in my holiest dreams, Lady-O

Ladybug Composer(s): James Stein Performer(s): Captain & Tenille; Anne Murray
Don't disturb the ladybug Sleepin' by the spider's web And if you see a butterfly Don't try to catch it in your net It's taken such a long long time To make this very special place Open up your soul and mind To all it has to say
Be still Take it in awhile Feel the sunshine Warm upon your face You'll feel When it makes you smile Like you're welcome To the human race
Everybody sees a part Of what this life can really be No one sees like you can see When you let your mind be free The wind is blowing through the trees A song that everyone can learn God is playing hide and seek Everywhere you turn
Be still Take it in awhile Feel the sunshine Warm upon your face You'll feel When it makes you smile Like you're welcome To the human race
Donna Maria, Donna Maria Ik weet dat je wacht nog iedere nacht in Santa Lucia Donna Maria, Donna Maria Maar wacht toch niet meer want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia
Huil toch niet, om wat jij nu hebt verloren Huil toch niet, omdat ik ben weggegaan Er kwam een ander, dus ik verander nu mijn leven Nee huil toch niet, wees blij dat ik ben weggegaan
Donna Maria, Donna Maria Ik weet dat je wacht nog iedere nacht in Santa Lucia Donna Maria, Donna Maria Maar wacht toch niet meer want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia
Huil toch niet, denk eens na je zult begrijpen In m'n hart was voor jou nog slechts venijn Was ik gebleven, ik zou je ongelukkig maken Nee huil toch niet, zo zal het heus veel beter gaan
Donna Maria, Donna Maria Ik weet dat je wacht nog iedere nacht in Santa Lucia Donna Maria, Donna Maria Maar wacht toch niet meer want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia
Donna Maria, Donna Maria Maar wacht toch niet meer, want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia
J'entends Siffler Le Train Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Hedy West Performer(s): Anthony Richard; Franco Battiato
J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux Nous quitter sans un adieu Je n'aurais pas eu le coeur de te revoir... Mais j'entends siffler le train Mais j'entends siffler le train Que c'est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...
Je pouvais t'imaginer, toute seule, abandonnée Sur le quai, dans la cohue des "au revoir" Et j'entends siffler le train Et j'entends siffler le train Que c'est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...
J'ai failli courir vers toi, j'ai failli crier vers toi C'est à peine si j'ai pu me retenir! Que c'est loin où tu t'en vas Que c'est loin où tu t'en vas Auras-tu jamais le temps de revenir?
J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux Nous quitter sans un adieu Mais je sens que maintenant tout est fini! Et j'entends siffler ce train Et j'entends siffler ce train J'entendrai siffler ce train toute ma vie...
Lady With The Spinning Head Composer(s): Adam Clayton - Bono - Larry Mullen Jr. - The Edge Performer(s): U2
Here she comes Lady luck again Figure of eight Six and nine again
My lady with the spinning head
Whatever the deal She won't let me down Wherever I go She's always hanging 'round
My lady with the spinning head La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head
She's been gone But I knew she'd be back She's got the rent She put me in the black
The lady with the spinning head
Took my mind Took away my car Do you dare to ask What I'm talking about
I'm on top When she's around She's my ticket Out of town
La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head
El Bandolero Stanco Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Sarà forse il vento che non l'accarezza più sarà il suo cappello che da un po' non gli sta su sarà quella ruga di ridente nostalgia o la confusione tra la vita e la poesia non assalta treni perché non ne passan mai non rapina banche, perché i soldi sono i suoi vive di tramonti e di calcolati oblii e di commoventi, ripetuti lunghi addii struggenti addii...
El bandolero stanco col cuore infranto stanotte va va, su un cavallo bianco col suo tormento lontano va dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove... dov'è silenzio, dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove...
Ha una collezione insuperabile di taglie molte, tutte vuote già da tempo, le bottiglie dorme sul cavallo che non lo sopporta più e si è fatto un mazzo per la pampa su e giù Ogni notte passa e getta un fiore a qualche porta rosso come il sangue del suo cuore di una volta poi galoppa via fino all'inganno dell'aurora dove qualche gaucho giura di sentirlo ancora cantare ancora...
Ah bandolero stanco stanotte ho pianto pensando a te c'è un po' della mia vita nella tua vita che se ne va dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove... dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove...
Se chiudo gli occhi, dentro gli occhi sei di nuovo quello vero quando sorridevo, quando ti credevo ascoltami, guardami, sta' fermo è ancora vivo questo amore tutto questo amore, tutto il nostro amore e tu lontano non ci vai a morire come una puttana prima del mio cuore al posto del mio cuore non mi lasciare solo in questa notte che non vedo il cielo torna bandolero! torna bandolero! torna bandolero! Dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove... dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove...
Lady With The Lamp Composer(s): Jerry Garcia Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald
I don't mind, please don't misunderstand I know the score of war A soldier's life is give and give And then they ask for more Walking on the picket line Where my comrades fell Holding up the thin-red-line In the shot and shell
The lady with the lamp You know she understands The lady with the lamp She's the soldiers' friend
I don't mind the blistering heat I think I can endure It's freezing cold and I can't feel my feet Well, that's the hell of war I never thought about the big red wound When I saw my comrades fall Now I'm in this cold and lonely room Wondering if I'll live at all
The lady with the lamp You know she understands The lady with the lamp She's the soldiers' friend
First they use us And then they throw us away Only Miss Nightingale Knows the price that we pay The lady with the lamp
Excuse me please, a cup of tea I've such a terrible thirst Would you please come and sit with me I feel it's come to the worst Write my mother that I love her so I can't seem to hold the pen Take this keep-sake and send it home To those I'll never see again
The lady with the lamp You know she understands The lady with the lamp She's the soldiers' friend
She will hold his hand Stay with him to the end You know she understands She's the soldier's friend
Werkeloos Composer(s): Pierre Kartner Performer(s): Jacques Herb
Morgen zouden zij gaan trouwen Samen naar het altaar gaan Morgen zou het jawoord klinken Klokken zouden voor hen slaan Maar 't geluk kon niet lang duren Op z'n werk kreeg hij ontslag Zo heeft hij zijn bruid verloren Omdat hij niet werken mag
Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn Maar brengt veel leed en pijn Voor hen die trouwen gaan Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood Niet werken kan
Zij nam toen voor hem een ander Hij werd een gebroken mens Omdat hij voor geld wil werken Dat is nog z'n laatste wens Hij is toen uit nood gaan stelen Voor z'n bruid waar hij van houdt Jaren moet hij daar voor boeten Voor die ene kleine fout
Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn Maar brengt veel leed en pijn Voor hen die trouwen gaan Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood Niet werken kan
