For work I have no time

There's songs to sing her

There ain't no livin' on love alone
But still I'm gonna try

Texas Trilogy: Train Ride
Composer(s): Steven Fromholz
First release by: Steven Fromholz - 1969



Well, the last time I remember that train stopping at the depot
Was when me and my Aunt Veta came riding back from Waco
I remember I was wearing my long pants and we was sharing
Conversation with a man who sold ball-point pens and paper
And the train stopped once in Clifton where my Aunt bought me some ice cream
And my Mom was there to meet us when the train pulled into Kopperl

But now kids at night break window lights
And the sound of trains only remains
In the memory of the ones like me
Who have turned their backs on the splintered cracks
In the walls that stand on the railroad land
Where we used to play and then run away from the depot man

I remember me and brother used to run down to the depot
Just to listen to the whistle when the train pulled into Kopperl
And the engine big and shiny, black as coal that fed the fire
And the engineer would smile and say, "Howdy, how ya fellows?"
And the people by the windows playing cards and reading papers
Looked as far away to us as next summer's school vacation

But now kids at night break window lights
And the sound of trains only remains
In the memory of the ones like me
Who have turned their backs on the splintered cracks
In the walls that stand on the railroad land
Where we used to play and then run away from the depot man

Texas Trilogy: Daybreak
Composer(s): Steven Fromholz
First release by: Steven Fromholz - 1969



Six o'clock silence of a new day beginning
Is heard in the small Texas town
Like a signal from nowhere the people who live there
Are up and moving around

'Cause there's bacon to fry and there's biscuits to bake
On the stove that the Salvation Army won't take
And you open the windows and you turn on the fan
'Cause it's hotter than hell when the sun hits the land

Walter and Fanny, well, they own the grocery
That sells most all that you need
They've been up and working since early this morning
They've got the whole village to feed

Well, they put out fresh eggs and throw bad ones away
That rotted because of the heat yesterday
The store is all dark so you can't see the flies
That settle on round steak and last Monday's pies

Sleepy Hill's drugstore and the cafe are open
The coffee is bubbling hot
'Cause the folks that ain't working gonna sit there 'til sundown
And talk about what they ain't got

Someone just threw a clutch in the old pickup truck
It seems like they're riding on a streak of bad luck
The doctor bills came and the well has gone dry
Seems their grown kids don't care whether they live or die

My True Love
Composer(s): Jack Scott
Performer(s): Jack Scott



I prayed to the Lord to send me a love
He sent me an angel from heaven above
The stars in the sky he placed in her eyes
She is my true love

The touch (my true love) of her hand (my true love)
Captured (my true love) my soul (my true love)
And the kiss (my true love) from her lips (my true love)
Set my heart (my true love) aglow (my true love)

And I know (my true love) from heaven (my true love)
From heaven (my true love) above (my true love)
Came my, my true love

Darling I love you
I'll always be true
My prayers, they were answered
When the Lord sent me you

With, love and devotion
That I never knew
Until the Lord above sent me you
And I thank (my true love) the heavens (my true love)
The heavens above (my true love) 
For sending my true love
(My true love)

Groove Juice Special

Performer(s): Slim Gaillard



The groove juice special keeps rolling along
the groove juice special it's the night clubbers' song
You're out at night, and art feelin' tight
The juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy groove juice
Z for ziskey is the word you'll say
When the bottles start comin' your way
You'll be hoppin' like hades a poppin'
The juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy groove juice

You'll feel mellow, just a cello
you'll feel fine
just like wine, and I ain't lyin'
The groove juice special keeps rolling along
the groove juice special it's the night clubbers' song
You'll feel great like a P38
The juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy groove juice

Texas Trilogy: Bosque County Romance
Composer(s): Steven Fromholz
First release by: Steven Fromholz - 1969



Mary Martin was a schoolgirl just seventeen or so
When she married Billy Archer about fourteen years ago
Not even out of high school, folks said it wouldn't last
But when you grow up in the country, you grow up mighty fast

They married in a hurry in March before school was out
Folks said that she was pregnant, "Just wait and you'll find out"
It came about that winter, one gray November morn
The first of many more to come, a baby boy was born

And cattle is their game and Archer is the name
They give to the acres that they own
If the Brazos don't run dry
And the newborn calves, they don't die
Another year from Mary will have flown
Another year from Mary will have flown

Now Billy kept what cattle his father could afford
Bouncing across the cactus in a 1950 Ford
The cows were sick and skinny and the weed was all that grew
But Billy kept the place alive, the only thing he knew

And Mary cooked the supper and Mary scrubbed the clothes
And Mary busted horses and blew the baby's nose
And Mary and a shotgun kept the rattlesnakes away
How she kept on smiling no one could ever say

And cattle is their game and Archer is the name
They give to the acres that they own
If the Brazos don't run dry
And the newborn calves, they don't die
Another year from Mary will have flown
Another year from Mary will have flown

Now the drought of fifty-seven was a curse upon the land
No one in Bosque county could give Bill a helping hand
The ground was cracked and broken and the truck was out of gas
And cows can't feed on prickly pear instead of growing grass

Well, the weather got the water and a snake bite took a child
And a fire in the old barn took the hay that Bill had piled
The mortgage got the money and the screw worm got the cows
The years have come for Mary, she's waiting for them now

And cattle is their game and Archer is the name
They give to the acres that they own
If the Brazos don't run dry
And the newborn calves, they don't die
Another year from Mary will have flown
Another year from Mary will have flown

My Town
Performer(s): Patty Smyth



I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
The new graffiti says that life's a bitch
And now I hear this bridge is fallin' down
Someone will steal it 'fore it hits the ground

Now, I wanna go out walkin' in my own neighborhood
Where I was just a little girl and life was good
But the boys around the corner gonna f--k with me
I'm gonna keep on walkin', they don't see

This is my town
I was born and raised on these streets
This is my town
Oh, yeah
Oh oh, yeah
My town

Too many people are on the streets tonight
It's way too hot, someone's lookin' for a fight
What a mess of faces in an endless sea
I'm gettin' tired of all this energy

And I guess I could just pick it up
And move outside of town
And listen to the crickets when the sun goes down
But then we couldn't hear them plain' down at S.O.B.'s
Where my friend, Lincoln can get us in for free

And this is my town
I grew up too fast on these streets
Hey, this is my town
Oh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
This is my town
Ooh ooh, yeah

And tonight the rain is fallin'
Fallin' down
The lights outside are changin' without a sound
Oh, yeah

Now, lets' just take a train down into China Town
Passed a house of candles, you know they burned it down
Tomorrow is the Puerto Rican Day parade
They'll be dancin' in the street
Come to carry me away

And this is my town
I was born and raised on these streets
This is my town
I'm walkin' down these mean streets
It's a big, bad town

This is my town
Hey, yeah yeah yeah
This is my
Oh, oh, my town

I said yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah

Grim Reaper Of Love
Composer(s): Al Nichol; Chuck Portz
Performer(s): The Turtles;
The Folkswingers; The Shamen



Movin' on slowly, sittin' forlornly 
Looks through her window, clouds hide the sun 
She thinks of her love, gone like the wild ones 
She knows he'll never return 

Chorus: 
Grim reaper of love, grim reaper of love 
Grim reaper of love, grim reaper of love 
Killing the living and living to kill 
Grim reaper of love thrives on pain; people, beware 

Missed her sadness of the loss of his loaning 
But in his past thinking, love can't last 
We were so happy, peaceful and dear 
But now his life's a little miser 

(chorus)

The Wasp (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)
Composer(s): Jim Morrison - John Densmore - Ray Manzarek - Robby Krieger
Performer(s): The Doors



I wanna tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master

Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the Pharaoh died

The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, "Forget the night
Live with us in forests of azure
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned - immaculate"

Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the lose of God
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul

I'll tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn

I'll tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Soft drivin', slow and mad, like some new language

Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas
I'll tell you 'bout the Texas Radio
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
Wandering the Western dream
Tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul

My Tani
Composer(s): John Avery Noble; Richard Gump; August Goupil
Performer(s): The Brothers Four;
The Ray Conniff Singers; 
The Charles "Kaipo" Miller Serenaders



Farewell, my Tani, child of a coral sea
We dreamed of heaven, but you've forgotten me

I loved you dearly, why did we have to part?
Now I am lonely, here with a broken heart

Once on silver sands we held lonesome hands

That's why, my Tani, I cried "Come back to me"

Once on silver sands we held lonesome hands

That's why, my Tani, I cried "Come back to me"

Gricel
Composer(s): José María Contursi; Mariano Mores
Performer(s): Fito Paez (Argentina);
and various other artists



No debí pensar jamas
en lograr tu corazón
y sin embargo te busque
hasta que un día te encontré
y con mis besos te aturdí
sin importarme que eras buena

Tu ilusión fue de percal
se rompió cuando partí
pues nunca mas te vi
oh, que amarga fue mi pena

No te olvides de mi
de tu Gricel
me dijiste al besar
el Cristo aquel
y hoy que vivo enloquecido
porque no te olvide
ni te acuerdas de mi
Gricel, Gricel

Me falto después tu voz
y el calor de tu mirar
y como un loco te busque
pero ya nunca te encontré
y en otros besos me perdí
mi vida toda fue un engaño

Que será de ti Gricel
se cumplió la ley de Dios
ah, ah, que amarga fue mi pena

Yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón

Quien dijo que todo esta perdido
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
tanta sangre que se llevo el río
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
no será tan fácil, ya se que pasa
no será tan simple como pensaba
como abrir el pecho y sacar el alma
una cuchillada del amor
luna de los pobres siempre abierta
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
como un documento inalterable
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
y uniré las puntas de un mismo lazo
y me iré tranquilo, me iré despacio
y te daré todo, y me darás algo
algo que me alivie un poco mas
cuando no haya nadie, cerca o lejos
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
cuando los satélites no alcancen
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
y hablo de países y de esperanza
hablo por la vida, hablo por la nada
hablo de cambiar esta nuestra casa
de cambiarla por cambiar nomás
quien dijo que todo esta perdido
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón

My Sweetie Went Away
Composer(s): Roy Turk; Lou Handman
Performer(s): Bessie Smith
and various other artists



I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you
Though it ain't no affair of mine
It's 'bout a gal named Sue and a boy named Lou
They were fighting all the time
Sue came home one afternoon
And found an empty dining room
Without a word her turtledove had flown
She began to moan
My sweetie went away but he didn't say where
He didn't say when, he didn't say why
Oh, bid me goodbye
I'm blue as I can be
I know he loved another one but he didn't say who
He didn't say when, he didn't say what
His mama has got
That took my sweetie from me
I'm like a little lost sheep
And I can't sleep
But I keep trying to forget
My trifling papa has left his mama all alone, I groan
My sweetie went away but he didn't say where
He didn't say when, he didn't say why
I know I'll die
Why don't he hurry home

Greenwood Creek
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



Smell the fragrance of the old pine tree
See the woman
She's down on her knees
She own some land, and a good crop she seeks
down along the banks of Greenwood Creek

I can hear that south-bound rollin'
carryin' all my hopes away
I'm strapped to my mule at the old country school
When I'm gonna get out, I can't say

Played guitar for ten long years
My only pay was the hound dog's cheers
Someday I'm gonna get me some land
far away in that promised land

I can hear that south-bound rollin'
carryin' all my hopes away
I'm strapped to my mule at the old country school
When I'm gonna get out, I can't say

Played guitar for ten long years
My only pay was the hound dog's cheers
Someday I'm gonna get me some land
far away in that promised land

I can hear that south-bound rollin'
carryin' all my hopes away
I'm strapped to my mule at the old country school
When I'm gonna get out, I can't say

Texas Across The River
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - James Van Heusen
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio



Texas across the river
Where my wandrin' days I'll bid goodbye
Just the sound of Texas
Gits me "boom" in the solar plexis
It's enough to make a grown man cry!

Texas across the river
Don't need signs to tell ya where you're at
Ain't a trace of shade there
Seems the only real shade that's made there
Is the shade that's underneath your hat!

Texas across the river
Where your name is Tex or Sam or Slim
I just got to ride there
Gotta git to the other side there
I just hope 'n' pray my horse can swim!

Texas across the river
Where they treat a stranger fair and square
They may rob and loot me
They can stab me or even shoot me
I'll be smilin' if they plant me there!

'Cross the river to Texas
'Cross the river to Texas
And I'll nevermore roam
Makin' Texas my home!
Makin' Texas my home!...

My Sweetie
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Irving Berlin; Ian Whitcomb



I never felt so happy before
A little rascal knocked at my door
It's Cupid that I'm speaking of
I'm in love
So in love
I must confess that right from the start
I went and lost my heart [Refrain:]
Wait till you see me with my sweetie
Showing her off to the crowd
Looking so dreamy at my sweetie
Feeling so terribly proud
She makes a specialty
Of looking good to me
She ought to be right in Tiffany's window
She's a jewel, I know that you'll agree
Wait till I'm married to my sweetie
How happy I'll be
I've got the bungalow paid for
I've had it 'specially made for
My sweetie
Sweetie, eetie, eetie
My sweetie and me

You've seen an exhibition where they
Charge you a large admission to stay
I mean the paintings that they show
Fine, I know
But don't go
I've got a picture and it's a treat
You needn't buy a seat
