Tell Me What You See In Me
Composer(s): Dave Cousins
Performer(s): Sandy Denny & The Strawbs



My ship sails in
On a cloud of broken promises
It's just not true
Not a single word she says
Time will tell
Whether I can change my ways
It might take years
It might even take always

Tell me what you see in me
And I'll tell you what I see in you

Your picture melts
Before my tired eyes
And all it leaves
Is just a trace of paradise
You'll change again
That's what I've been told
But don't take long
Or I might get too old

Take it easy
But take it slow
For who knows which way next
That wind will blow
Time goes by
Just as quickly as I want it to
And I'll make out
Like I never knew

My Little Girl
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; William Dillon; Albert Von Tilzer



I write these lines to tell you that I'm sorry I Left home
because I'm all alone, why did you let me roam
Some one put the jinx on me, I'm up against it strong
I'm out of work and so I wrote a song 
the first verse dear is very sweet, because it speaks of you
I'm sending you the chorus, read it through

The second verse is not complete, I cannot rhyme the part
That goes with aching heart, but I was never smart you know 
that the chorus is the part that must be heard
and now I've got a job to rhyme that word 
now if this song should make a hit, I'll marry you in June
and if it don't there'll be no honeymoon

My little girl you know I love you and I long for you each day
my little girl I'm dreaming of you though you're many miles away 
I see the lane down in wildwood where you promised to be true 
my little girl I know you're waiting and I'm coming back to you

Babe, you been gone such a long time
I've been thinkin' 'bout what it is we've got
Not all the time in the world, but we got a lot
There is much, much more than a ghost of a chance

Got to make it work on you
Got the love
Just can't keep it hid

You might not think that I care at all, But I do
You know me so much better than anyone else

Got the love
Got to make it work on you
Got the love
Just can't keep it hid

So come on girl, let's work it out
C'mon and take my hand
'Cause I got the love

Got the love
Got to make it work on you
Got the love
Just can't keep it hid

Got no reason now for goin' home
all my reason's now she is gone
Got no one there to talk to

missin, her, hurtin' so, and drinkin'
Got no reason now for goin' home, all my reason's now she is gone
Got no one there to talk to
And even though I know I ought to, got no reason now for goin' home
It's so hard now just knowin' there's another

So I end up in here each night sittin' and a thinkin'
missin' her, hatin' him and drinkin'
Got no reason now for goin' home, all my reason's now she is gone
Got no one there to talk to
And even though I know I ought to
Got no reason now for goin' home

He's goin' with another now
He'll be at the party on Friday night
I'd go there myself, but it wouldn't be right

Please tell him that I care
And that I want him back again
Tell him that and then
Tell me what he said

Just take him to a side
Tell him how much I cried
And that I'm beggin' on my knees
Tell him that, but please
Tell me what he said

If I hurt him, I'm sorry (Sorry)
Please tell him that I love him (Love him)
No matter what the trouble may be
We can talk it over

I've never been so blue

When you tell me what he said
When you tell me what he said

My Little Angel
Composer(s): George Young; Harry Vanda
Performer(s): William Shakespeare (aka John Cave)



It was on a cold December afternoon
Doesn't seem that long ago
I was sitting on my feet by my old fireplace
When in walked my little girl home from school
And I could see that something was wrong
By the tears that were rolling down her face

And she said Daddy, Daddy at school today
Somebody told me a lie
And after hearin' what she had heard
I told her not to cry
It hurt to see her cry

Because she's my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel when she smiles
Oh yes, she's my, my little angel
My little angel, and I don't ever wanna see her cry

What she heard was that angel's didn't really exist
That they were just a part of fables, fairytales, any ol' how
Of course there are angels I said
Everybody has an angel that takes care of them
In fact I know there's a real live angel right now

And she said Daddy, Daddy please tell me where
And tell me how do you know
And I said, easy, if you listen close
It's not too far to go
And this is how I know

Because you're my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel when you smile
Oh yes, you're my, my little angel
My little angel, and I don't ever wanna see you cry

Now I miss her dearly since she left that day
But I know she is near me every hour, every day
Because she's, because she's my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel, yes she's mine

Ah, she's so fine, my little angel, my little angel
And I know that she's with me all the time
With me all the time, my little angel
My little angel, my, my little angel

I got a four-leaf clover all hangin' high
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got my hoodoo ashes all around your bed
Got my black snake roots underneath your head
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got some red-hot tips I have to keep on ice
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got my rabbit foot, I know it's workin right
I got this strand of hair I'll keep day and night
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

My Little Georgia Rose
Composer(s): Bill Monroe
Performer(s): Bill Monroe
and various other artists



Now come and listen to my story
Story that I know is true
'Bout a rose that blooms in Georgia
With hair of gold and a heart so true

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose

Her mother left her with another
A carefree life she had planned
Maybe now she's a lady
One her mother could not stand

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose

We often sang old songs together
I watched her do her little part
She'd smile at me and I would tell her
That she was my own sweetheart

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose

Performer(s): James Reed



The nighttime, the nighttime is calling me
it's dreamtime, sweet dreamtime, for you and me
I'm longing, I'm longing to close my eyes
for there a sweet vision lies

While shadows are creeping through the darkest night
In dreamland, sweet dreamland, there's your love light
It's beaming, it's gleaming and all for me
your vision I long to see

My little dream girl, you pretty dream girl
sometimes I seem, girl, to own your heart
Each night you haunt me, by day you taunt me
I want you, I want you, I need you so
Don't let me waken, learn I'm mistaken
find my faith shaken, in you sweetheart
I'd sigh for, I'd cry for, sweet dreams forever
my little dream girl goodnight 

Got My Heart Set On You
Composer(s): Dobie Gray; Bud Reneau
Performer(s): John Denver;
John Conlee; Dobie Gray



Ever since the day I met you, I feel like I'm walking on air
And lately I'm convinced, it's no coincidence I run into you everywhere
And though I've heard your love is taken, I gotta believe what's in your eyes
Would I be out of line if I suggested a time and we get together one of these nights
Got my heart set on you, you’re everything that I ever wanted
Got my heart set on you, it can't be anything but love
Baby I'm betting on it

I don't want to give you the wrong impression
I'm not the kind who rushes in, but baby every time I see you
before I even leave you I can hardly wait to see you again
I got my heart set on you, you’re everything that I ever wanted
Got my heart set on you, it can't be anything but love
Baby I'm betting on it

I don't mean to be coming on strong or taking anything for granted
but love is a thing that just comes along
You don't understand how it got out of hand, but you're in it right from the start
I got my heart set on you, you’re everything that I ever wanted
Got my heart set on you, it can't be anything but love
Baby, I'm betting on it

Tell Me The Old, Old Story
Composer(s): Richard L. Weaver



There's a question ever new sweetheart I would ask of you 
Will you tell me once again the story dear 
... It's the theme of life's sweet song, as the ages roll along 
Making sunshine when the clouds seem near 
... In the days of "Auld Lang Syne" those sweet days when you were mine 
Many hours we pass'd together by the mill 
... Time has chang'd us both since then, but I've wandered back again 
For your answer that you love me still

Now the birds as sweetly sing 
'Round the ivy cover'd spring
As they did for us sweetheart in time before 
And I'm waiting here today, fondly hoping you will say 
That you love me as you did of yore 
... When I've travell'd far and near 
There was naught in life to cheer 
All the world is shadow'd dearest without you
And for each fond joy apart 
I've the longing in my heart for that dear old story ever new...

Tell me the old, old story, that you love me as of yore
... Others strive for fame and glory 
I'm content with your love evermore 
... Time can never change you sweetheart 
With your eyes of violet blue 
... I'm waiting to be told, the story sweet and old 
You love me still as I love you

Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and various other artists



Close your sleepy eyes
My little Buckaroo
While the light of the western skies
Is shinin' down on you
Don't you know it's time for bed
Another day is through
So go to sleep
My little Buckaroo

Don't you realize
My little Buckaroo
That it was from a little acorn
That the Oak tree grew?
And remember that your dad
Was once a kid like you
So go to sleep
My little Buckaroo

Soon you're gonna ride the range
Like grown up cowboys do
Now it's time that you were roundin' up
A dream or two
So go to sleep
My little Buckaroo

My Little Bimbo Down On The Bamboo Isle
Composer(s): Grant Clarke; Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Frank Crumit
and various other artists



Sailor Bill McCoy was a handsome sailor boy
His ship got wrecked awhile, on a Fiji Iji Isle
He led a savage life and he hunted with a knife
He said, "I'll tell you all about it, don't tell my wife, because....

I've got a Bimbo down on the Bamboo Isle
She's waiting there for me, beneath a bamboo tree
Believe me, she's got all the other Bimbo's beat a mile
She dances daily, gayly, she'd make a hit with Barnum and Bailey
I'll build a bungalow on the Bamboo Isle
'Cause when I go again, I'll stay awhile
I've seen wrecks, plenty of wrecks out on the ragin' sea
But, by heck, you've never seen a wreck like the wreck she made of me
And, all she wore was a great big Zulu smile
My little Bimbo Down on the Bamboo Isle

William's boss said, "Bill, a Captain's job you'll fill
On a ship that's going North, today it's going forth"
A Captain's job is fine, but Bill said, "I'll decline
I'll Take half pay as a sailor on that ship of mine, 'cause"....

I've got a Bimbo Down on the Bamboo Isle
She's waiting there for me beneath a bamboo tree
Believe me, she's got all the other Bimbo's beat a mile
She dances daily, gayly, she plays a mean ukelele
I'll build a bungalow on the Bamboo Isle
"Cause when I go again, I'll stay a while
"What's that? What's a Bimbo mean? Please take my advice
I don't know what "Bimbo" means, but I think it's something nice
Everybody loves her, even the crocodiles
My little Bimbo, down on the Bamboo Isle

Tell Me On A Sunday
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd-Webber - Don Black
First performance/First release by: Marti Webb - 1979/1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment
I'd like to choose how I hear the news
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please
Let me down easy
No big song and dance
No long faces, no long looks
No deep conversation
I know the way we should spend the day
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees
Tell me on a Sunday please
Don't want to know who's to blame
It won't help knowing
Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze
Tell me on a Sunday please

I don’t want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye
Don’t run off in the pouring rain
Don’t call me as they call your plane
Take the hurt out of all the pain
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please
