Take Me Home Composer(s): Steve Kipner - John Capek - Mark Jordan Performer(s): Joe Cocker & Bekka Bramlett
Maybe we're standing on the threshold With our eyes open wide Let the river keep on flowing We can reach the other side Caught in this endless revolution Under helicopter skies To lose becomes unthinkable And to win is the only road now
There's a bridge over the water I can see it like a rainbow If you love me I'll be waiting Take me home to the other side
All the men and all the women Who sacrifice their love Never taste what we took for granted No they don't know love at all Some of them broken some of them wounded And so cynical from the pain I was quiet as a grave yard Till you heard me caling out your name
There's a bridge over the water I can see it like a rainbow If you love me I'll be waiting Take me home to the other side
Life was victorious Now it can't be denied We'll stand together Cause love is on our side
There's a bridge over the water I can see it like a rainbow If you love me I'll be waiting Take me home to the other side

Take Me Home Composer(s): Jim Capaldi - C. Thompson - A. Quinta Performer(s): Jim Capaldi
In an empty bed staring at the ceiling You need someone to love, show you understanding When you feel brokenhearted, looking for a way around it In the middle of a broken dream, open your eyes, never look back Happiness is something to be aiming at When you feel brokenhearted, looking for a way around it in the middle of a broken dream
Take me home, home to your heart Home to your body babe Take me in your arms, cover me up Take me home we're never meant to be alone How can I make you see, take a chance on me
There's no way out, nobody to turn to All you need is someone to the rescue When you feel brokenhearted looking for a way around it in the middle of a broken dream
Take me home, home to your heart Home to your body babe Take me in your arms, cover me up Take me home we're never meant to be alone How can I make you see, take a chance on me
Girl in this life we live There's so much we can share So much we can give
Take me home, home to your heart Home to your body babe Take me in your arms, cover me up Take me home we're never meant to be alone How can I make you see, take a chance on me
Take me home, home to your heart Home to your body babe Take me in your arms, cover me up Take me home we're never meant to be alone How can I make you see, take a chance on me
Mother's Not Dead, She's Only Sleeping Composer(s): Charlie Monroe Performer(s): Charlie Monroe; Roy Acuff; Vernon Oxford
I Left my old home way back in the mountains Mother was called to heaven that day They carried my mother up to the graveyard Ev'rything's lonesome since she went a-way
Chorus Mother's Not Dead, she's only a-sleeping Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come The birds will be singing while mother lies sleeping They will sing o'er her as the grave fades a-way
Nothing seems right around the old home place Even the place where we used to play I love my old home way back in the mountains But ev'rything's changed since she went away
Chorus
Mother was good and now she's in heaven She was the best pal a boy ever had I still love my home way back in the mountains But without you mother, a heart aches so sad

Its just that love is new to me and I dont know how to behave But you can right whats wrong with me If youll string along with me Oh, dont end our romance Please give a fool a chance
Take Me For What I'm Worth Composer(s): P.F. Sloan Performer(s): The Searchers; Mike Pender; P.F. Sloan
Don't try and understand me, you never could do that Ah, and in the end you'd wind up being hurt I'm a man with too many problems that keep pounding on my brain
So if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth (if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)
I don't pretend to be a saint, my sins they are many But there's no-one perfect in this universe And though you think I'm weird, don't try and change me dear
'cause if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth (if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)
Hear a howling wind outside my door, there's restlessness within Oh, I'm like a raincloud that one day may burst We both know I'll be leavin' and if one little tear you grieve
Ah, it's all right 'cause that's all I'm really worth (it's all right 'cause that's all I'm really worth)
And if you think about me in your lonesome hours Ah, and on your lips there's a sweet word and not a curse Ah, then I'll be comin' back one day when my wandering is over
Ah, if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth (if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth) Ah, if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth (if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)
Sie Kann Nimmermehr English Title: Mother's Little Helper Performer(s): Peter Schleicher (Originally performed by: The Rolling Stones)
Ach, die Kinder san heut bös sagt die Muter ganz nervös Ich brauch dringend meine Ruah, i bin am End Und sie bild' si des nur ein doch sie find gar nix dabei Nimmt a Pulver oder zwa Die Befreiung, sie ist da S'Leben ist schön seufzt sie entzückt wie mir die Erzieuhng glückt
Ach, die Zeiten san heut bös sagt die Mutter ganz nervös Dieses Kochen bringt mi um und macht mi krank Ich koch nur mehr Tiefkühlkost damit die Kraft mich nicht verlasst Nimmt a Pulver oder zwa die Befreiung, sie ist da S'Leben is schön seufzt sie entzückt Das Menü ist mir geglückt
Ach, bitte sehr, i brauch noch mehr und vor der Tür, da nimmt's gleich vier S'Leben is schwer, sie kann nimmermehr
Ach, die Männer san so bös sagt die Mutter ganz nervös Und es stört sie, wenn ma müd is und k.o. Niemals kriegn die Männer gnua Doch sie holt sich ihre Ruah nimmt a Pulver oder zwa die Befreiung, sie ist da S'Leben is schön seufzt sie entzückt wenn ihr Mann sie nachts beglückt
Ach bitte sehr, ....
Ach das Leben is so bös sagt die Mutter ganz nervös Ich will glücklich sein, doch keiner sagt ma wie Sie schluckt alles was sie hat doch dann wird ihr sterbensmatt und ka Pulverl is mehr da und sie fühlt sich gar nicht froh Jetzt is aus denkt sie Oh Gott! Und dann is die Mutter tot
Take Me For A Little While Composer(s): Trade Martin First recording/First release by: Evie Sands - 1965/Jackie Ross - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
I've been trying to make you love me But everything I try just takes you further from me You don't love me no no So you treat me cruel But no matter how you hurt me I'll always be a fool If you don't want me forever If you don't need me forever And if you don't love me forever Take me for a little while I've got to make you love me For a little while I've just got to make you want me I've got to stop it
There should be a law And no maatter how you put me down I love you more I feel so helpless And it ain't funny Cause deep down inside I know You're never gonna love me If you don't want me forever If you don't need me forever If you can't love me forever Take me for a little while I'm gonna make you love me For a llittle while I've got to make you want me Take me for a little while, baby Can't you see it's gonna be me Take me for a little while Take me for a little while I'm gonna tell you how I need you Tell me how I want you Take me for a little while
Mother's Little Helper German Title: Sie Kann Nimmermehr Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Originally performed by: The Rolling Stones Covered by various other artists
What a drag it is getting old "Kids are different today" I hear ev'ry mother say Mother needs something today to calm her down And though she's not really ill There's a little yellow pill She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today" I hear ev'ry mother say Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day
Doctor please, some more of these Outside the door, she took four more What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today" I hear ev'ry mother say They just don't appreciate that you get tired They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight
Doctor please, some more of these Outside the door, she took four more What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today" I hear ev'ry mother say The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day

Mother's Bible Composer(s): Don Reno Performer(s): Crowe Brothers and various other artists
There's a book that Mother left me That grows sweeter every day I have often read the pages Since my Mother passed away When but just a baby boy I would sit upon her knee Mother looked just like an angel When she read this book to me
Mother's bible, oh, how dear With the covers worn and old Mother's bible, much more sweeter Worth much more to me than gold And she told me, yes she told me Just before she went to sleep If I read it and believed it Jesus then my soul would keep
Now my Mother's gone to heaven And sometimes I feel so sad Then I go get Mother's bible That she left for me and Dad Through the years there may be changes But one change there'll never be It's that old and faded bible That my Mother left for me
Mother's bible, oh, how dear With the covers worn and old Mother's bible, much more sweeter Worth much more to me than gold And she told me, yes she told me Just before she went to sleep If I read it and believed it Jesus then my soul would keep
Gitans Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Quand t'es parti gitan Tu as laissé seulement Une voiture en morceaux T'as pris tes chaises de bambou Ta guitare de rien du tout T'as mis le vent sous ta peau T'as caressé les oiseaux, t'as caressé les oiseaux T'as mis des pierres sur le feu Les femmes aux longs cheveux Ont tout lavé dans des seaux Séché la linge sur les buissons Rentré les gosses dans les camions Sur les paniers de roseaux Et caressé les oiseaux, caressé les oiseaux Où allais-tu? À part les flaques de boue Et quelques traces de roues Tu n'as rien voulu laisser T'as mis ta fierté gitane Aux rideaux des caravanes Comme des drapeaux pliés T'as caressé les oiseaux, t'as caressé les oiseaux Où allais-tu? J'ai peur des lumières des villes Des grandes maisons immobiles Des jardins bâtis tout autour J'ai peur qu'on emmène d'office Au bout du fusil des milices Les enfants de notre amour Ils traitent nos filles de voleuses Du fond de leurs maisons peureuses Pleines de chiens de combat Ils attachent leurs volailles Ils surveillent leurs ferrailles On ne se ressemble pas... Y a des panneaux depuis Emplacement interdit Comme s'il y avait eu la peste T'as plus qu'à chercher ailleurs Des gens qui auront moins peur En espérant qu'il en reste Et caresser les oiseaux! Et caresser les oiseaux!
Take Me Back To Dear Old Ireland Composer(s): Morrison Performer(s): Cavan OConnor
Theres a spot called dear old Ireland that is always calling me An exile from my native land so far across the sea And every time I see a vessel waiting in the bay I feel I want to go aboard, and then I want to say
Take me back to dear old Ireland, anywhere at all The lakes of Connemara or the hills of Donegal When I get home no more Ill roam to any foreign strand Heres my fare, oh! Take me there to dear old Ireland
Sure its many years since I have seen that land so dear to me The scenes of happy childhood treasured in my memory The longing in my heart is growing stronger day by day To be once more on Irish soil, and that is why I say
Take me back to dear old Ireland, anywhere at all The lakes of Connemara or the hills of Donegal When I get home no more Ill roam to any foreign strand Heres my fare, oh! Take me there to dear old Ireland
Mother's A Redneck Too Composer(s): John Evans Performer(s): Roger Creager
Hey I'm a redneck Mother I must confess I wear tight blue jeans not a tie-dyed dress I got a tattoo of Texas on my chest; hey I'm a redneck mother a redneck at best I'm a redneck mother and my mother's a redneck too
I'm a redneck mother I must concede I wear a red and blue hat it reads "Lonestar Feed" I raised a cross bred chicken it goes "Quakity-cluck" I got a kicker bumper sticker on the back of my truck I'm a redneck mother and my mother's a redneck too
I can fish all night and sleep until noon, romance a case of beer under the Texas moon There's only one thing that will set me back and that's a long legged lady in a pink Cadillac
I'm a redneck mother I must reply I built a beer can fence nearly 10 foot high Yonder on my front porch, it's my guard dog Blue He's a Mississippi leg hound with some legging to do I'm a redneck mother and my mother's a redneck too
I can fish all night and sleep until noon, romance a case of beer under the Texas moon There's only one thing that will set me back and that's a long legged lady in a pink Cadillac
John why don't we head down to New Orleans? Could we try to find a bowl of them rice and red beans? Before we hit the road could you explain what this means? Sing it for me one more time
Hey I'm a redneck Mother I must confess I wear tight blue jeans not a tie-dyed dress I got a tattoo of Texas on my chest; hey I'm a redneck mother, a redneck at best I'm a redneck mother and my mother's a redneck too
Oh Lord you're a redneck mother and your mother's a redneck too
