The Strange Little Girl
Composer(s): Jerry Ross - Richard Adler
Performer(s): Cowboy Copas



Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl

My sweetheart and I had a quarrel
I was troubled as a body can get
So, I put on my coat and walked out into the night
When a strange little girl I met

Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl

She told me she knew of our quarrels
And I listened as she softly spoke on
She said, true love is rare
So don't lose the love you share
And before I could speak, she was gone

Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl

Ran back to the home of my sweetheart
And I told her of the girl I did see
She said, darling I prayed you'd forgive me and return
For the same little girl came to me

Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl

Come Back And Take This Hurt Off Me
Composer(s): Covay; Miller
Performer(s): Small Faces



Come back and take this hurt off me
Come back and take this hurt off me
baby, come back and take this hurt off me
'Cause I'm too young, to be in misery, now
baby, come back and take this hurt off me

I've been waitin' at the bus station
'cause that's where you left me standin'
Got my clothes in a twenty-five-cent locker
I'll be here till the Greyhound brings you back again, baby

Come back and take this hurt off me
Come back and take this hurt off me
baby, come back and take this hurt off me
'Cause I'm too young, to be in misery, now
baby, come back and take this hurt off me

I knocked on my mother's door, she said, "Steven, walk on in!"
Son, you don't have to say a mumbling word,
she left my little baby again 
Yes, she did, now! 

Come back and take this hurt off me
baby, come back and take this hurt off me
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby now, what kind of love could this be
baby, baby, baby, I don't know what you've done
it got me, it got me, it got me, yes, it did!

Though he is just a boy
How true as Private Rin Tin Tin 
They are the army's ride and joy

Story Of Tina
Composer(s): Hassall - Katrivanou
Performer(s): Al Martino



The story of Tina began in the springtime
When Tina was sweet seventeen
The boy said he loved her and she gave a promise
The truest that ever has been
And then came the wedding one morning in May
And still they are sweethearts
Though years roll away
The story of Tina is Love's grand adventure
As sweet as a love song can be
The story of Tina and me

The boy said he loved her and she gave a promise
The truest that ever has been
And then came the wedding one morning in May
And still they are sweethearts
Though years roll away
The story of Tina is Love's grand adventure
As sweet as a love song can be (Can't you see)
The story of Tina and me

Come Back And Shake Me
Composer(s): Kenny Young
Performer(s): Clodagh Rodgers; Paige Claire



Come back and shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, Baby, Baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend, I'm lonely

My sleeves are all torn, my buttons are loose
My makeup's starting to fade away
The sparkle you put in my dolly eye
Is gone since that cloudy bye-bye day

My room is my house, my bed is my home
My pillow's my friend, my only friend
Your old baby doll, your raggedy doll
Is waiting for you to play again

Come back and shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, Baby, Baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend, I'm lonely

Bring your old tools and fix up my heart
And get your old doll together
And put back the colour gone from my lips
Kiss 'em and make it better

My love is my life, my life is my love
My world is my man, my only man
Your old baby doll, your raggedy doll
Is waiting for you to play again

Come back and shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, Baby, Baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, baby, baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhhhh)
Shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me ...

Rimini
Performer(s): Fabrizio De André



Teresa ha gli occhi secchi
guarda verso il mare
per lei figlia di pirati
penso che sia normale

Teresa parla poco
ha labbra screpolate
mi indica un amore perso
a Rimini d'estate.

Lei dice bruciato in piazza
dalla santa inquisizione
forse perduto a Cuba
nella rivoluzione
o nel porto di New York

nella caccia alle streghe
oppure in nessun posto
ma nessuno le crede

Coro: Rimini, Rimini

E Colombo la chiama
dalla sua portantina
lei gli toglie le manette ai polsi
gli rimbocca le lenzuola

"Per un triste Re Cattolico - le dice -
ho inventato un regno
e lui lo ha macellato
su di una croce di legno

E due errori ho commesso
due errori di saggezza
abortire l'America
e poi guardarla con dolcezza

ma voi che siete uomini
sotto il vento e le vele
non regalate terre promesse
a chi non le mantiene"

Coro: Rimini, Rimini

Ora Teresa è all'Harrys' Bar
guarda verso il mare
per lei figlia di droghieri
penso che sia normale

porta una lametta al collo
è vecchia di cent'anni
di lei ho saputo poco
ma sembra non inganni

"E un errore ho commesso - dice -
un errore di saggezza
abortire il figlio del bagnino
e poi guardarlo con dolcezza

ma voi che siete a Rimini
tra i gelati e le bandiere
non fate più scommesse
sulla figlia del droghiere"

Coro: Rimini, Rimini

Story Of My Love
Composer(s): Conway Twitty - Jack Nance
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



Darling we're not very old
But there's a love story that has to be told
By stars above I swear that it's true
It's the story of my love for you
(My love for you)

It starts when you came into my life
You vowed someday you'd be my wife
Sweetheart I thought the world of you
You made my world of dreams come true
(Of dreams come true)

The years may come and years may pass
And I reach the end of life's journey at last
Though time may change me in some ways it's true
It could never change my love for you
(Change my love for you)

Oh, when I'm gone bury me
On the highest mountain of history
Then all the world will hear me cry
My love for you will never die
(For you will never die)

Come Back
Composer(s): Seth Justman - Peter Wolf
Performer(s): The J. Geils Band



When you left me all alone
You left me cryin' on my own
Tell me, tell me, what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby
'Cause I'm still in love with you
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Here I'm standin' such a fool
It's not like you babe
Oh, don't be cruel
Help me, help me
'Cause you know I'm not that strong
Help me, help me darlin'
I've been lonely for too long
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back
Tell me, tell me, what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby
'Cause I'm still in love with you
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-please come back to me darlin'-aah
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me

Rimbaud Chanterait
Composer(s): Jean-Michel Rivat; Roland Vincent
Performer(s): Michel Delpech



Il écrivait sur des morceaux d'azur
Sur les étangs sur les forêts è è è
Il écrivait sur le vent sur les murs
Mais aujourd'hui il chanterait
Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues
Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix
Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu
Un soleil dans le cœur un sanglot dans la voix
Là devant la foule il chanterait
Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait
Et toute la foule sifflerait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait

Il t'a laissé des mots venus du cœur
Pour ne pas mourir tout à fait è è è
Lui, l'homme fou, l'ami, le déserteur
Aujourd'hui comme il chanterait
Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues
Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix
Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu
Un soleil dans le cœur un sanglot dans la voix
Là devant la foule il chanterait
Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait
Et toute la foule sifflerait
Devant toi tu verrais
Un bateau qui se noie
Un bateau qui se noie
Et Rimbaud chanterait
Rimbaud chanterait le poing levé
Rimbaud chanterait le cœur serré
Rimbaud chanterait la liberté
Et l'amour et l'enfer et le fleuve et la mer
Et devant la foule il chanterait
Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait
Et toute la foule sifflerait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait
reprise ad lib

The Story Of My Life
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



The story of my life
is very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave

The story of my life
begins and ends with you
the names are still the same
and the story's still the truth

I was alone
you found my waiting
and made me your own
I was afraid
that somehow I never could be
the man that you wanted of me

You're the story of my life
and every word is true
each chapter sings your name
each page begins with you

It's the story of our times
and never letting go
and if I die today
I wanted you to know

Stay with my here
share with me care with me
stay and be near
and when it began
I'd lie awake every night
just knowing somewhere deep inside
that our affair just might write

The story of my life
it's so very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave

Come Away To Sea
Composer(s): David Wilcox
Performer(s): David Wilcox



The wind is right for sailing
The tide is right to go
So come away to sea with me
There's things that you should know

There's things I'd like to tell you
That words can't seem to say
Unless we're on this simple craft
Sailing far away

Sail around this sound
Far away from shore
Come away to sea with me
Sail your heart once more

Join me in this simple craft
Welcome to my home
The things I'd like to say to you
Are better said alone

So let your heart sail with me
We'll cast away from town
And we'll sail away on music
Inside this simple sound

Sail around this sound
Far away from shore
Come away to sea with me
Sail your heart once more

This simple craft I play upon
Is made from wooden parts
It's never sailed an ocean
But it sure can sail my heart

And if you feel the music
Then we've raised another sail
The ocean wraps this world around
The wind will never fail

Rikki Don't Lose That Number
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan;
and various other artists



We hear you're leaving, that's ok
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

Rikki, don't lose that number
(Rikki, don't lose that number)
Rikki, don't lose that number

The Story Of My Life
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
First release by: Marty Robbins with Ray Conniff and His Orch. - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists



Someday I'm going to write 
The story of my life 
I'll tell about the night we met 
And how my heart can't forget 
The way you smiled at me 

I'd like the world to know 
The story of my life 
The moment when your lips met mine 
And that first exciting time 
I held you close to me 

The sorrow when our love was breakin' up 
The mem'ry of a broken heart 
But later on, the joy of makin' up 
Never never more to part 

There's one thing left to do 
Before my story's through 
I've got to take you for my wife 
So the story of my life 
Can start and end with you 

The sorrow when our love was breakin' up 
The mem'ry of a broken heart 
But later on, the joy of makin' up 
Never never more to part 

There's one thing left to do 
Before my story's through 
I've got to take you for my wife 
So the story of my life 
Can start and end 
Can start and end 
Can start and end with you 

Come Away Melinda
Composer(s): Fred Hellerman; Frances Minkoff
Originally performed by: Harry Belafonte
Covered by various other artists



Daddy, daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war

Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five
Little melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Oh daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do
Why, there's someone
In a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

Come away melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your mummy
You had before the war

Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be
The way they were
Before the war began

Come away melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

Right Wheel, Left Hammer, Sham
Composer(s): Alan Blakley; Len "Chip" Hawkes
Performer(s): The Tremeloes



If you get a right wheel, left hammer raw deal
Ev'rything is upside down
Tie him in a knot, try ev'rything you've got now
Kick him in the dusty ground
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by

Marriage on the rocks, d'pends who said what then
Nobody remember why
Go before a counsel, wouldn't let her down feel
Shakin' in your old school tie
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by

Horses on the run win thirty three to one
And never put a penny on
Smiling on the bookie, tell him that he should meet
Better luck the next time son
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by
Well give it a try, let it go by by by by by

Composer(s): Tchaikovsky - Mann Curtis - Al Hoffman - Jerry Livingston
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists



This is the storry of a starry night
The faded glory of a new delight
Long breathless meetings, two lips repeating
Sweet precious words that were sweet, but fleeting

When stars are bright my heart keeps wondering why
Our first "goodnight" became our last "goodbye"
I pray that someday love will in some way
Bring back the story of a starry night

Sun goes down on a silky day
Quarter moon walkin' thru the Milky Way
When it's me and you baby
We could think of somethin' to do
'Cause it's the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night 
For makin' love

We'll go drinkin' in some heavy bar
I'll take you night ridin' in my chevy car
When it's me and you baby
We could think of somethin' to do
'Cause it's the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night
For makin' love

I got you and you got me
Tell you, that's the way my momma
Always said it should be 
I'll be sweet and you'll be kind
We'll be bad, if you don't mind

It's the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night 
For makin' love

Enforcing law within the Territory
Praise be the Glory of 26 Men 
Who rode the Arizona Territory

I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake our love my lies
Yes, I'll be as true, as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me

Lovers of the past I'll leave behind
There'll never be another on my mind
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me

The promises I made most faithfully
I'll keep still, should you decide to leave
I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you come and stay with me

We'll live a life no one has ever known
But I know you're thinking that I'm hardly grown
But O thank God, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me

But O thank God, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me
