Mary Ann Regrets Composer(s): Harlan Howard Performer(s): Burl Ives and various other artists
I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours Then today in the mail I received this short little note And I broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their plan Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann
The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then In the papers I read of the far away places she's been I can't eat, I can't sleep for over and over again My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann
My Mary Ann died, they said she just wasted away If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann
Oh-Oh, I'm Falling In Love Again Composer(s): Al Hoffman; Dick Manning; Mark Markwell Performer(s): Jimmie F. Rodgers; Eddy Arnold; Marion Ryan
Uh-oh, I'm falling in love again, uh-oh...
Many's the time I've been two-timed Many's the time I've been stung Many a honey took all of my money, but That was when I was much younger
Made up my mind to be careful Made up my mind to beware I was alright until until Saturday night I met a girl with the goldenest hair
Chorus: Uh-oh, I'm falling in love again, uh-oh I thought I'd never get caught again Never in a hundred, never in a thousand Never in a million years Never in a million years
She had the bluest of blue eyes She had the cherriest lips Shouldn't have have kissed her I tried to resist her but One kiss, and I was a goner
I couldn't run if I'd wanted I couldn't run if I tried Saw what I liked And I liked what I saw And my heart went along for the ride
(Chorus)
That was the end of my roamin' Now that it's over, I'm glad Through gallavantin' I got in a slam and I'm Uh-oh, I'm a ring-a-ding daddy
Rockin' the cradle at nighttime Livin' and lovin' each day Got me a wife She's the light of my life And when I kiss her each morning I say
(Chorus)
Never in a hundred, never in a thousand Never in a million years Never in a million years Uh-oh, uh-oh...
Mary (What Are You Waiting For?) Composer(s): Walter Donaldson Performer(s): Bing Crosby and various other artists
What are you waiting for What are you waiting for, Mary? What are you thinking 'bout Who are you thinking 'bout, Mary? The bees are buzzing, they're buzzing right in my ear And they keep on asking "Hey, what's the big idea?"
Think of the moon above Doesn't it speak of love, Mary? Why do you lead me on Why do you be so contrary? You wouldn't let my castle come tum-tum-tumbling down Think of the things in store What are you waiting for, Mary?
Ohio Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein; Betty Comden; Adolph Green Performer(s): Doris Day
Why oh why oh why oh Why did I ever leave Ohio? Why did I wander to find what lies yonder? Life was so cosy at home Wondrin why I wander Why did I fly, why did I roam? Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio? Maybe Id better go O-H-I-O Maybe Id better go home
Why did I wonder To find what lies yonder? Life was so cosy at home Wondrin why I wander Why did I fly, why did I roam? Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio? Maybe Id better go O-H-I-O Maybe Id better go home
Mary Composer(s): George M. Cohan Performer(s): James Cagney
My mother's name was Mary She was so good and true Because her name was Mary She called me Mary, too She wasn't gay or airy But plain as she could be I'd hate to meet a Mar-y Who called herself Ma-ry For it is Mar-y, Mar-y Plain as any name can be But with propriety Society will say Ma-ry! But it was Mar-y! Mar-y! Long before the fashions came And there is something there That sounds so square It's a grand old name
Ohio Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming Four dead in Ohio
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down Should have been down long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground How can you run when you know?
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down Should have been down long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground How can you run when you know

Martha Composer(s): Paul Kantner Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps, patiently She sifts the hairy air that's worn and wood-swept, pleasantly She does as she pleases, she listens for me
Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow, "Fly to me" You can dance and sing and walk with me And dreams will fade and shadows grow in weed She does as she pleases, she waits there for me She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
My love she talks to winking windows as she murmurs to her feet, thoughtly She separates in laughter to my side, caught for me She does as she pleases, she waits there for me She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock and it's waiting there for me She weeds apart through a token lock What a great thing to be free She weeps time, starts unspoken, but when the gate swings there she'll be There she'll be: in green sun, on blue earth under warm running shower

Marrakesh Express Composer(s): David Crosby; Stephen Stills; Graham Nash Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash
Looking at the world Trough the sunset in your eyes Trying to make the train To clear Moroccan skies Bugs and pigs and chickens call Animal carpet wall to wall American man is five foot tall and you Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind Had to get away to see what we could find Hope the days that lie ahead Bring us back to where they've led Listen up to what's been said to you Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express All on board that train I've been saving all my money just to take you there I smell the garden in your hair Take a train to Casablanca going south Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m,m,m,m,mouth Cold coffins hang in the square Charming corporals in the square Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express They're taking me to Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express They're taking me to Marrakesh All on board that train All on board that train All on board that train
