    The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
    Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
    First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1976
    Covered by multiple other artists



    The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
    Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'
    The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
    When the skies of November turn gloomy
    With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
    Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
    That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
    When the gales of November came early
    The ship was the pride of the American side
    Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
    As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
    With a crew and good captain well seasoned
    Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
    When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
    And later that night when the ship's bell rang
    Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

    The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
    And a wave broke over the railing
    And every man knew, as the captain did too
    T'was the witch of November come stealin'
    The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
    When the Gales of November came slashin'
    When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
    In the face of a hurricane west wind

    When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
    Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya
    At Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said
    Fellas, it's been good t'know ya
    The captain wired in he had water comin' in
    And the good ship and crew was in peril
    And later that night when his lights went outta sight
    Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

    Does any one know where the love of God goes
    When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
    The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
    If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her
    They might have split up or they might have capsized
    May have broke deep and took water
    And all that remains is the faces and the names
    Of the wives and the sons and the daughters

    Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
    In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
    Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
    The islands and bays are for sportsmen
    And farther below Lake Ontario
    Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
    And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
    With the Gales of November remembered

    In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
    In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral
    The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
    For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
    The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
    Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'
    Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
    When the gales of November come early!

    The Rapper
    Composer(s): Dominic Ierace
    First release by: The Jaggerz - 1970



    Hey girl, I bet you
    There's someone out to get you
    You'll find him anywhere
    On a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store
    He'll say "Excuse me, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"
    Rap, rap, rap, they call him the Rapper
    Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after
    So, he starts his rappin'
    Hoping something will happen
    He'll say he needs you
    A companion, a girl he can talk to
    He's made up his mind
    He needs someone to sock it to
    Rap, rap, rap, they call him the Rapper
    Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after
    He's made an impression
    So he makes a suggestion
    "Come up to my place
    For some coffee or tea or me"
    He's got you where he wants you
    Girl, you've gotta face reality
    Rap, rap, rap, they call him the Rapper
    Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after

    Rentaghost
    Composer(s): Michael Staniforth
    Performer(s): Michael Staniforth



    If your mansion house needs haunting just call Rentaghost
    We've got spooks and ghouls and freaks and fools at Rentaghost
    Hear the Phantom of the Opera sing a haunting melody
    Remember what you see is not a mystery but Rentaghost

    At your party be a smarty and hire Rentaghost
    If you want a fright climb the spooky heights with Rentaghost
    You can let our spirits move you, and for fun play ghostman's knock
    Because we aim to shock, we hope you knees will knock, that's
    Rentaghost

    Let me say the most terrific simple ghosts, not scientific
    May be supernatural ghoulies of the day
    Heavy footsteps in your attic means a spectre telepathic
    Is descending just to spirit you away, Ya-a-a-ay!

    We are extraordinary fellahs here at Rentaghost
    To be another Uri Geller come to RRRRentaghost
    For a biography we've ghost writers
    And not forgetting a ghost script
    An apparition quipped from deep inside a crypt, ring Rentaghost
    An apparition quipped from deep inside a crypt, ring Rentaghost!

    (Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-haaah)

    Randall Knife
    Composer(s): Guy Clark
    Performer(s): Guy Clark
    and multiple other artists



    My father had a Randall knife
    My mother gave it to him
    When he went off to World War Two
    To save us all from ruin

    Now if you've ever held a Randall knife
    You know my father well
    If a better blade was ever made
    It was probably forged in hell

    My father was a good man
    He was a lawyer by his trade
    And only once did I ever see
    Him misuse the blade

    Well, it almost cut his thumb off
    When he took it for a tool
    Ah, the knife was made for darker things
    And you could not bend the rules

    Well, he let me take it camping once
    On a Boy Scout jamboree
    I broke a half an inch off
    Tryin' to stick it in a tree

    Well I hid it from him for a while
    But the knife and he were one
    He put it in his bottom drawer
    Without a hard word one

    There it slept and there it stayed
    For twenty some odd years
    Sort of like Excalibur
    Except waiting for a tear

    My father died when I was forty
    And I couldn't find a way to cry
    Not because I didn't love him
    Not because he didn't try

    Oh, I'd cried for every lesser thing
    Whiskey, pain and beauty
    But he deserved a better tear
    And I was not quite ready

    So we took his ashes out to sea
    And poured 'em off the stern
    Then threw the roses in the wake
    Of everything we'd learned

    And when we got back to the house
    They asked me what I wanted
    Not the law books, not the watch
    I need the things haunted

    My hand burned for the Randall knife
    There in the bottom drawer
    I found a tear for my father's life
    And all that it stood for

    Riding on the City of New Orleans Illinois Central Monday morning rail Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail All along the southbound odyssey The train pulls out at Kankakee Rolls along past houses, farms and fields Passin' trains that have no names Freight yards full of old black men And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles Good morning America how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor And the sons of pullman porters And the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel Mothers with their babes asleep Are rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel Good morning America how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done Nighttime on The City of New Orleans Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee Half way home, we'll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness Rolling down to the sea And all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream And the steel rails still ain't heard the news The conductor sings his song again The passengers will please refrain This train's got the disappearing railroad blues Good night, America, how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

    Performer(s): Thin Lizzy



    He’s just a boy that has lost his way
    He’s a rebel that has fallen down
    He’s a fool been blown away
    To you and me he’s a renegade

    He’s a clown that we put down
    He’s a man that doesn’t fit
    He’s a king but not in this town
    To you and me he’s a renegade

    But he is a king when he’s on his own
    He’s got a bike and that’s his throne
    And when he rides he’s like the wind
    To you and me he’s a renegade

    He’s just a boy who has lost his sights
    He’s a stranger, prowls the night
    He’s a devil, that’s right
    To you and me he’s a renegade

    Check it out, check his face
    Look at his eyes, they’re so sly
    I wonder why he cries from the inside
    I wonder why he’s a renegade

    Oh please, I’m on my begged bended knees
    Oh please, please heed my call
    He’s just a boy that has lost his way
    He’s just a boy, that’s all

    Composer(s): Paul Williams - Kenny Ascher
    First release by: Jim Henson - 1979
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Why are there so many
    Songs about rainbows
    And what's on the other side
    Rainbow's are visions
    They're only illusions
    And rainbows have nothing to hide
    So we've been told and some chose to
    Believe it
    But I know they're wrong wait and see

    Someday we'll find it
    The Rainbow Connection
    The lovers, the dreamers and me

    Who said that every wish
    Would be heard and answered
    When wished on the morning star
    Somebody thought of that
    And someone believed it
    And look what it's done so far
    What's so amazing
    That keeps us star gazing
    What so we think we might see

    Someday we'll find it
    That Rainbow Connection
    The lovers the dreamers and me

    All of us under its spell
    we know that it's probably magic

    Have you been half asleep
    And have you heard voices
    I've heard them calling my name
    Are these the sweet sounds that called
    The young sailors
    I think they're one and the same
    I've heard it too many times to ignore it
    There's something that I'm supposed to be

    Someday we'll find it
    The Rainbow Connection
    The lovers, the dreamers and me

    Wir brauchten früher keine große Reise
    Wie wurden braun auf Borkum und auf Sylt
    Doch heute sind die Braunen nur noch Weiße
    Denn hier wird man ja doch nur tiefgekühlt
    Ja früher gab's noch Hitzefrei
    Das Freibad war schon auf im Mai
    Ich saß bis in die Nacht vor unserem Haus
    Da hatten wir noch Sonnenbrand
    und Riesenquallen an dem Strand, und Eis
    und jeder Schutzmann zog die Jacke aus

    Wann wird's mal wieder richtig Sommer - ein Sommer wie er früher einmal war?
    Ja mit Sonnenschein von Juni bis September
    und nicht so naß und so sibirisch wie im letzten Jahr

    Und was wir da für Hitzewellen hatten
    Pulloverfabrikanten gingen ein
    Da gab es bis zu 40 Grad im Schatten
    Wir mußten mit dem Wasser sparsam sein
    Die Sonne knallte ins Gesicht
    da brauchte man die Sauna nicht
    Ein Schaf war damals froh wenn man es schor
    Es war hier wie in Afrika
    Wer durfte machte FKK
    Doch heut, heut summen alle Mücken laut im Chor

    Wann wird's mal wieder richtig
    Sommer - ein Sommer wie er früher einmal war?
    Ja mit Sonnenschein von Juni bis September
    und nicht so naß und so sibirisch wie im letzten Jahr

    Der Winter war der Reinfall des Jahrhunderts
    Nur über tausend Meter gab es Schnee
    Mein Milchmann sagt: Dies Klima hier wen wunderts
    denn Schuld daran ist nur die SPD
    Ich find das geht ein bißchen weit
    doch bald ist wieder Urlaubszeit
    und wer von uns denkt da nicht dauernd dran
    Trotz allem glaub ich unbeirrt
    daß unser Wetter besser wird
    nur wann, und diese Frage geht uns alle an!

    Wann wird's mal wieder richtig Sommer - ein Sommer wie es früher einmal war?
    Ja mit Sonnenschein von Juni bis September
    und nicht so naß und so sibirisch wie im letzten Jahr

    Wann wird's mal wieder richtig Sommer - ein Sommer wie es früher einmal war?

    Performer(s): The Cowsills



    I saw her sitting in the rain
    raindrops falling on her
    She didn't seem to care
    She sat there and smiled at me

    And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
    she could make me happy (happy, happy)
    Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere

    I love the flower girl, oh, I don't know just why
    She simply caught my eye
    I love the flower girl, she seemed so sweet and kind
    She crept into my mind

    Suddenly the sun broke through (see the sun)
    I turned around she was gone (where did she go)
    And all I had left was one little flower from her hair

    But I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
    she had made me happy (happy, happy)
    Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere

    City Lights Composer(s): Bill Anderson First recording/First release by: Bill Anderson - 1957/1958 Covered by multiple other artists



    A bright array of city lights as far as I can see
    The Great White Way shines through the night for lonely guys like me
    The cabarets and honky tonks, their flashing signs invite
    A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights

    Lights that say "Forget her name in a glass of sherry wine"
    Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine
    They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright
    But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights

    The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night
    But God who put the stars above I don't believe He made those lights
    For it's just a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right
    Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights

    Lights that say "Forget her love in a different atmosphere"
    Lights that lure are nothing but a masquerade for tears
    They paint a pretty picture but my arms can't hold them tight
    And I just can't say "I love you" to a street of city lights

    Comme s'en vont les nuages
    Sur le gris bleu de la mer
    Notre amour est à l'orage
    Et mon cœur est à l'envers

    Tout ce que la vie nous donne
    Aujourd'hui je l'ai perdu
    Par ce rendez-vous d'automne
    Où tu n'es jamais venu

    Je la dois à ton oubli
    Cette larme sur ma joue
    Ce n'est rien qu'un peu de pluie
    Le vent effacera tout

    Quel chemin pourrais-je prendre
    Pour me détacher de toi
    Qui n'a pas su comprendre
    Quand tu étais près de moi

    Mais pendant que tourbillonne
    Le moindre de mes regrets
    Toutes les feuilles frissonnent
    Et s'envolent à jamais

    Je la dois à ton oubli
    Cette larme sur ma joue
    Ce n'est rien qu'un peu de pluie
    Le vent effacera tout

    Mais plus le temps nous sépare
    Plus il me laisse à penser
    Qu'il reste à peine de notre histoire
    À peine de quoi pleurer

    Covered by multiple other artists



    This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
    You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I felt before
    It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low
    It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom
    Speak to me only with your eyes
    it is to you I give this tune
    It isn't hard to recognise - these things are clear to all from time to time

    Talk Talk - I felt the coldness of my winter
    I never thought it would ever go
    I cursed the gloom that set upon us
    but I know that I love you so
    but I know that I love you so

    These are the seasons of emotion
    And like the winds they rise and fall
    This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold
    This is the mystery of the quotient
    Upon us all a little rain must fall

    City By Night Composer(s): Bernie Baum - Bill Giant - Florence Kaye Performer(s): Elvis Presley



    When shadows beckon on dim-lit avenues
    Night people hear the call
    From hidden alleys to secret rendezvous
    They come out one and all

    The city by night, I'm wide awake
    It never sleeps, make no mistake

    Whatever sets off the spark
    A magic glow lights the dark
    And I'm intrigued by the sight
    Of the city by night

    Those crowded nightclubs, those picturesque cafes
    Are scenes no-one forgets
    And I'm enchanted as music softly plays
    By dancing silhouettes

    A city by night, I'm wide awake
    It never sleeps, make no mistake

    The evening's full of surprise
    It's magic opens my eyes
    And I'm intrigued by the sight
    Of a city by night

    Yeah!

    Gabino Barrera
    Composer(s): Victor Rafael Cordero
    Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez;
    and various other artists



    Gabino Barrera no entendía razones
    Andando en la borrachera
    Traía su pistola con seis cargadores
    Le daba gusto a cualquiera

    Usaba el bigote en cuadro abultado
    Su paño al cuello enredado
    Calzones de manta, chamarra de cuero
    Traía punteado el sombrero

    Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches
    Y a veces a raís andaba
    Pero le gustaba pagar los mariachis
    La plata no le importaba

    Con una botella de caña en la mano
    Gritaba ¡viva Zapata!
    Porque era ranchero el indio suriano
    Un hijo de buena mata

    Era alto y bien dado muy ancho de espaldas
    Su rostro mal encachado
    Su negra mirada un aire le daba
    Al buitre de la montañá

    Gaino Barrera dejaba mujeres
    Con hijos por donde quiera

    Servants:
    Poor Professor Higgins!
    Poor Professor Higgins!
    Night and day
    He slaves away!
    Oh, poor Professor Higgins!
    All day long
    On his feet
    Up and down until he's numb
    Doesn't rest
    Doesn't eat
    Doesn't touch a crumb!
    Poor Professor Higgins!
    Poor Professor Higgins!
    On he plods
    Against all odds
    Oh, poor Professor Higgins!
    Nine p.m.
    Ten p.m.
    On through midnight ev'ry night
    One a.m.
    Two a.m.
    Three...!
    Quit, Professor Higgins!
    Quit, Professor Higgins!
    Hear our plea
    Or payday we
    Will quit, Professor Higgins!
    Ay not I
    O not Ow
    Pounding pounding in our brain
    Ay not I
    O not Ow
    Don't say "Rine," say "Rain"...

    Eliza
    The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!

    Henry
    By George, she's got it!
    By George, she's got it!
    Now, once again where does it rain?

    Eliza
    On the plain! On the plain!

    Henry
    And where's that soggy plain?

    Eliza
    In Spain! In Spain!

    The three
    The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
    The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!

    Henry
    In Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire...?

    Eliza
    Hurricanes hardly happen
    How kind of you to let me come!

    Henry
    Now once again, where does it rain?

    Eliza
    On the plain! On the plain!

    Henry
    And where's that blasted plain?

    Eliza
    In Spain! In Spain!

    The three
    The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
    The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!

    Città Vuota ((Adapted from: It's a Lonely Town (Lonely Without You) (Gene McDaniels) - 1963)) Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman - Giuseppe Cassia Performer(s): Mina - 1963



    Le strade piene, la folla intorno a me
    mi parla e ride e nulla sa di te
    io vedo intorno a me chi passa e va
    ma so che la città
    vuota mi sembrerà se non ci sei tu
    c'e' chi ogni sera mi vuole accanto a sé
    ma non m'importa se i suoi baci mi darà
    io penso sempre a te, soltanto a te
    e so che la città vuota mi sembrerà se non torni tu
    come puoi tu vivere ancor solo senza me
    non senti tu che non finì il nostro amor
    le strade vuote deserte sempre più
    leggo il tuo nome ovunque intorno a me
    torna da me amor e non sarà più vuota la città
    ed io vivrò con te tutti i miei giorni
    tutti i mie giorni, tutti i miei giorni

    The Race Is On
    Composer(s): Don Rollins
    First release by: Jimmie Gray - 1963
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
    Like my heart's sprung a big break
    And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
    That I may never shake
    You might say that I was taking it hard
    Oh, she wrote me off with a call
    But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
    When I may break right down and bawl?

    Well, the race is on and here comes
    Pride up the backstretch
    Heartaches are going to the in-side
    My Tears are holding back
    They're tryin' not to fall
    My Heart's out of the running
    True Love's scratched for another's sake
    The race is on and it looks like Heartaches
    And the winner loses all

    One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin'
    What the final result would be
    How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
    And thinkin' that you're gone from me
    There's ache and pain in my heart
    For today was the one that I hated to face
    Somebody new came up to win her
    I came out in second place

    Well, the race is on and here comes
    Pride up the backstretch
    Heartaches are going to the in-side
    My Tears are holding back
    They're tryin' not to fall
    My Heart's out of the running
    True Love's scratched for another's sake
    The race is on and it looks like Heartaches
    And the winner loses all

    Well, the race is on and here comes
    Pride up the backstretch
    Heartaches are going to the in-side
    My Tears are holding back
    They're tryin' not to fall
    My Heart's out of the running
    True Love's scratched for another's sake
    The race is on and it looks like Heartaches
    And the winner loses all
