1913 Massacre
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
First recording by: Woody Guthrie - 1945
Covered by multiple other artists



Take a trip with me in nineteen thirteen
To Calumet, Michigan, in the copper country
I'll take you to a place called Italian Hall
Where the miners are having their big Christmas ball

I'll take you through a door, and up a high stairs
Singing and dancing is heard everywhere
I will let you shake hands with the people you see
And watch the kids dance round that big Christmas tree

You ask about work and you ask about pay
They'll tell you that they make less than a dollar a day
Working the copper claims, risking their lives
So it's fun to spend Christmas with children and wives

There's talking and laughing and songs in the air
And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere
Before you know it, you're friends with us all
And you're dancing around and around in the hall

Well, a little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights
To play the piano, so you gotta keep quiet
To hear all this fun you would not realize
That the copper-boss thug-men are milling outside

The copper-boss thugs stuck their heads in the door
One of them yelled and he screamed, "There's a fire!"
A lady, she hollered, "There's no such a thing!
Keep on with your party, there's no such a thing"

A few people rushed, and it was only a few
"It's only the thugs and the scabs fooling you"
A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down
But the thugs held the door and he could not get out

And then others followed, a hundred or more
But most everybody remained on the floor
The gun-thugs they laughed at their murderous joke
While the children were smothered on the stair by the door

Such a terrible sight I never did see
We carried our children back up to their tree
The scabs outside still laughed at their spree
And the children that died there were seventy-three

The piano played a slow funeral tune
And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon
The parents they cried and the miners they moaned
"See what your greed for money has done"

California Revisited
Composer(s): Dan Peek
Performer(s): America



Heaven may be an answer
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky
On your waters I see a strange reflection
Rumor has it I'll see you when I die

Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

In California you watch the shadow dancer
Floating gently, gently on the sea
In California you're such a strange romancer
Come and see me when the world has set you free

Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

Falling
Composer(s): Roy Orbison
Performer(s): Roy Orbison



I'm falling, I'm falling 
Falling in love with you

Baby come closer, closer to me 
And listen, listen so carefully 
Remember all the nights that I told you 
I loved you

It wasn't true, I used you, and you were 
Just someone new 
To thrill this lonely heart of mine 
I was lying all the time 

Pretending to be falling in love with you 
But it's different now, I've kissed you now 
So forgive me, forgive me somehow 
Hold me tight for tonight, and tell me true 
If you still love me 
Say that you love me 
Don't leave me now 
Now that I'm falling for you

I'm falling, I'm falling 
Falling in love 
Falling in love with you

I'm in with the "in" crowd 
I go where the "in" crowd goes 
I'm in with the "in" crowd 
And I know what the "in" crowd knows 
Any time of the year don't you hear (gotta have fun) 
Dressin' fine makin' time 
We breeze up and down the streets 
We get respect from the people we meet 
They make way day or night 
They know the "in" crowd is outta sight! 
I'm in with the "in" crowd 
I know every latest dance 
When you're in with the "in" crowd 
It's easy to find romance 
At a spot where the beat's really hot (there we'll go) 
If it's square we ain't there 
We make every minute count, yeah 
Our share is always the biggest amount 
Other guys imitate us 
But the original's still the greatest 
Got our own way of walkin' yeah 
And our own way of talkin' yeah 
Anytime of the year don't you hear (gotta have fun) 
Spendin' cash and talkin' trash 
Girl I'll show you a real good time yeah 
Come on with me and leave your troubles behind 
I don't care where you've been 
You ain't been nowhere 'til you been in 
With the "in" crowd oh yeah 
With the "in" crowd 
Got our own way of walkin' 
And our own way of talkin' yeah 
Walkin' with the "in" crowd 
Talkin' 'bout the "in" crowd 
mmmmmmm 
... and I go where the "in" crowd goes 
mmmmmmm 
... and I know what the "in" crowd knows

California Nights
Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch - Howard Liebling
First release by: Lesley Gore - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Along the sand
Let's walk the shore together, now, just hand in hand
It's gonna be fair weather, now
When the stars come out, stop to count them in the sky

Love California nights
When I'm walkin' with you hand in hand by the shore
Yes, I love California nights
At the beach where we'd swim with the tide rolling in

And there will be beneath the midnight sky above
Just you and me, and we will whisper words of love
While the fire light softly flickers in the sand

Warm California nights
With the breeze blowin' in - time for love to begin
I would miss California nights if I went on my way
Thinkin' now that I'll stay

Ooh, baby
Love you, baby
Mm, baby

Love California nights
Always close as a kiss, nothing's sweeter than this
And we'll spend California nights
Always close as a kiss ...

Falling
Performer(s): Lenny LeBlanc & Pete Carr



I think about winter when I was with her
And the snow was falling down
Warmed by the fire
I love being by her
When there's no one else around
And I'm falling
Woah, I'm falling
I'm falling in love with you

I think about summer
My head was swimming
You wrote my name in the sand
We walked together
Hoping forever
Please don't let go of my hand
'Cause I'm falling
Woah, I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling in love with you

The fall and the springtime
Were like in between times
You're here and then you're gone away
Woah, I just wanted to say
Won't you please, please stay
'Cause I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling
I'm falling in love with you

Woah, I'm falling
Ya, I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling in love with you
In love with you
In love with you

That's Your Mistake
Composer(s): Rudy Toombs
Performer(s): Otis Williams
and multiple other artists



That's your mistake
You had to run around
That's your mistake
You played me for a clown

I found somebody now
Sweet as can be
And they don't do that me

That's your mistake
To mistreat me so
That's your mistake
To ever let me go

I found somebody now
Sweet as can be
And they don't do that me

You spent my money
Didn't want my love
It wasn't me
You were thinking of

You played your hand
And you had your fun
Now if you're in the cold
And you have no one

That's your mistake

To think I was your fool
That's your mistake
To rate this lover's rule

I found somebody now
Sweet as can be
And they don't do that me

No, they don't do that me
No, they won't do that to me

California Mudslide
Composer(s): Lightnin' Hopkins
Performer(s): Lightnin' Hopkins



Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom
baby, little girl, fore this water rise
Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom 
little girl, fore this water rise
You know I must-a been born by the devil

See, it's rainin' in ol' California's the reason I said it

Many, many many friends have lost their home

And the mudslide had taken their home
And I said

Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom

Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom 
po' Lightnin' just can't feel satisfied
Just you know many friends of mine lost they home, by that old mudslide

Don't take me to be wrong people, forgive me for my mistake
You know, please, please, please, forgive me for my mistake

Fallin' In Love

Performer(s): Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds



Chorus
Baby, baby, fallin' in love
I'm fallin' in love again
Baby, baby, fallin' in love
I'm fallin' in love again

I could never see what fate had meant for me
And then you came and made my dreams match reality
Maybe you can see all the things you've meant to me
And my simple fate is at the gate and, girl, you've got the key

Chorus

It seems like yesterday you and I first loved this way
But now I know how love can grow with each and every day
As we lay at midnight's hour and feel love's hidden power
So strong and bold as life unfolds its mystery to me

Chorus

You and me for eternity in love will always be
Young and free and that should be the way it's gotta be

Chorus

That's Worth While Waiting For
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis - Joe Young - Harry Ruby



I know a boy who is crazy about a certain pet 
It's two years since they've met, and he hasn't got her yet 
This little girl that he's crazy about kind o' turned his head 
'Cause when I asked him to describe her 
Here's what he said

Each night he begs for that one little kiss, he's wild about
He'll get that kiss no doubt, if his patience don't wear out
Day after day he keeps telling the boys, what a gal he has 
And when he's finished they all holler 
"Cut out that jazz"

"She's just the kind of a miss that's worth while waiting for
She's got the kind of a kiss, that's worth while waiting for
She's always bashful and shy, but when you whisper "good-bye"
She puts that 'promising look' in her eye, that's worth while waiting for 
She's got that wonderful smile the smile that you adore 
She let's you squeeze her awhile, then makes you beg for more 
She's got the kind of petting, the kind that's worth while getting 
And what's worth getting is worth while waiting for

Fallin'

I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
Like a star up in the blue
Like I was fallin' off Niag'ra
In a paddle boat canoe
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
And it's all because o' you

Like I was walkin' on a tight rope
Swingin' in the breeze
And though I try to keep my balance
Well I just weaken in the knees
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
Oh lover, help me please

Like a leaf falls from a branch
Like a rock slide avalanche
Like the rain on a stormy day
I never thought I'd fall this way

I thought that love could never touch me
Yeah, I was ridin' high
And then my iv'ry tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
And lover, you're the reason why

Like Goliath when he met his foe
Like the walls of Jericho
Like Delilah's holy town
And Samson tore it down

I thought that love could never touch me
Yeah, I was ridin' high
But then my iv'ry tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a fallin'
And you're the reason why
Oooh, you're the reason why
Yeah, you're the reason why
Baby, you're the reason why
Yeah, you're the reason why
Oooh, you're...........

This is the story about a boy that loved a girl
He loved her very much, in fact he loved her so much that he
Couldn't seem to find the exact words to tell her exactly how much
he did love her
Oh he tried several times, but it seems like every time he tried the
words always came out backwards
They came out something like this

Bright moon tray fiddley run by, Thru
Around and up to
That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do

Bluebird wingin' parley foe some say
Chilly lum say so
That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do

In other words there are no words to say how much I care
And every time I start to tell you
Words come to my throat but they stick there

Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through
Around and up to,
That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do

In other words there are no words to say how much I care
And every time I start to tell you
Words come to my throat but they stick there

Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through
Around and up to,
That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do

Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there

The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright

Fallen Angel
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees



Fool in the night on the stair
With the light by the window
Out in the jungle of life she was
Yearning to go
All of the years I've been there for the tears
She will sell you
Out in the city she search for the face
That she knew

Did you believe that a love so alive
Could be over

(Chorus)
Caroline
Fallen Angel
Caroline
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Fallen Angel
I'm so lost
Tonight, lonely tonight
Lonely tonight

Fool is the father who clings to the
Child he is losing
Mother too weary to question
The wisdom of youth
There with your head in your hand
As you pray to her picture
Out in the rain she would search
For somebody to hold

Did you believe you could find
What you need with a stranger

(Chorus)

Did you believe that a love so alive
Could be over

(Chorus)

That's Why God Is Singing The Blues
Composer(s): Ian Gillan
Performer(s): Deep Purple



We took the p out of paradise
just to produce this hell
And all we're going to leave behind is this decaying putrid smell
We've lived in this world
seen her used and abused
That's why god is singing the blues

They felled a great oak over there
they filled a duck pond over here
We've got a glass and concrete monster now that feeds and caters to
our fears
Maybe it's too late
to spoil another view
That's why god is singing the blues

Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues

Polluted all the oceans
pulped all the trees
Plagued by chronic boredom
we blew a hole in the atmosphere
We tore out her heart
left her battered and bruised
That's why god is singing the blues

Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues

You may believe in evolution
you may believe in god's great creation
The only thing we know for sure
we got a man made situation
We turned this whole world
into a dying zoo
That's why god is singing the blues

You better live on your feet
than die on your knees
I stole that from some graffiti
lord have mercy please
Living in this babylon
keeps us confused
That's why god is singing the blues

California Earthquake
Composer(s): John Hartford
Performer(s): Mama Cass; John Hartford



I heard they exploded
The underground blast 
What they say's gonna happen
Gonna happen at last
That's the way it appears

They tell me the fault line runs right through here
So that may be
That may be
What's gonna happen gonna happen to me
That's the way it appears

They tell me the fault line runs right through here

Atlantis will rise
Sunset Boulevard will fall
Where the beach used to be 
Won't be nothing at all
That's the way it appears

They tell me the fault line runs right through here 
So that may be
That may be
What's gonna happen gonna happen to me
That's the way it appears

They tell me the fault line runs right through here

Performer(s): King Crimson



Tears of joy at the birth of a brother
Never alone from that time
Sixteen Years through knife fights and danger
Strangely why his life not mine

West side skyline crying
Fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime

Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city
Make us the people we are
Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car

Snow white side streets of cold New York City
Stained with his blood it all went wrong
Sick and tired blue wicked and wild
God only knows for how long

Fallen angel
Fallen angel
West side skyline
Crying for an angel dying
Life expiring in the city
Fallen angel...

(Ahh-ahh!)
(Ahh-ahh!)

The way you make me feel like I belong
The way you make me right when I am wrong
The way you sacrifice just for me
Just how lucky can a poor man be?

That is why...
(That's why I love you so)
That is why...
(That's why I love you so)
Don't you know, baby...
(That's why I love you so)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the world to know
The way you rub my back when I'm in pain
The way you soothe me so I won't complain
And when you kiss me with your ruby red lips
It thrills me so, I turn a back-over flip

That is why...
(That's why I love you so)
Don't you know, baby...
(That's why I love you so)
That is why...
(That's why I love you so)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the world to know
If Shakespeare thought that Juliet
Really loved Romeo from the time they met
He would blow his top if he could see
Just how you've been lovin' me

The way you rub my back when I'm in pain
The way you soothe me so I won't complain
And when you kiss me with your ruby red lips
It thrills me so, I turn a back-over flip

That is why...
(That's why I love you so)
That is why...
(That's why I love you so)
C'mon now, baby...
(That's why I love you so)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to take it easy, baby...
(That's why I love you so)
Take it easy, honey...
(That's why I love you so)
Don't you know now...
(That's why I love you so)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the... one more time, now...
(That's why I love you so)
C'mon, c'mon, baby...
(That's why I love you so)...
