There Is A Tavern In The Town
(Traditional)



There is a Tavern in the Town

There is a tavern in the town, in the town
And there my true love sits him down, sits him down
And drinks his wine as merry as can be
And never, never thinks of me

Fare thee well, for I must leave thee
Do not let this parting grieve thee
And remember that the best of friends
Must part, must part

Adieu, adieu kind friends, yes, adieu
I can no longer stay with you, stay with you
I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee

He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark
Each Friday night they used to spark
Used to spark
And now my love who once was true to me
Takes this dark damsel on his knee

And now I see him nevermore, nevermore
He never knocks upon my door, on my door
Oh, woe is me; he pinned a little note
And these were all the words he wrote

Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep, wide and deep
Put tombstones at my head and feet, head and feet
And on my breast you may carve a turtle dove
To signify I died of love

Constantly
Composer(s): Michael Julien; Saverio Seracini
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



All day I'm walking in a dream
I think about you constantly
Just like an ever flowing stream
Your memory haunts me constantly

Shadows fall and I try to drive you from my mind
So you're no longer near to me
But my heart sees you there with me
Every sunset you share with me

The rain that patters through the trees reminds
me of you constantly
Your name is whispered by the breeze and love birds
bring your song to me

Just as sure as the stars keep burning
in the sky your love will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
not only through the night
but constantly

Just as sure as each star keeps burning
in the sky your love will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
not only through the night
but constantly

Though we may be far apart
You're constantly deep in my heart

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have you to tell just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)

There Is A New Moon
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

I remember now that I am older
What you told me the day we had to part
You promised with the new moon you would be coming back to me
Many moons have passed, still I am waiting patiently

There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

Now I am wishing I had been bolder, then perhaps we would'nt be so far apart
You promised you will write to me, but so forth not a line
Still I am waiting pariently that someday you will be mine

There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

Conscience Where Were You (When I Needed You Last Night)
Composer(s): Warren Robb - Sanger D. Shafer
Performer(s): Moe Bandy



You came to me this mornin', several hours late
I looked for you last night, she would not wait
You tell me I've been cheatin', your voice cuts like a knife
But conscience, where were you when I needed you last night

Her lips held on like honey, her eyes were secret blue
While you were gone my arms were so untrue
I started once to leave her, but her skin was all night white
Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night

Conscience, where were you when passion started pushing
Where were you when she came on just right
You know I love my woman, I'd never make her cry
Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night

I started once to leave her, but her skin was all night white
Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night
Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night

Row, Row, Row Your Boat (aka The Old Log Hut)
Composer(s): R. Sinclair - Eliphalet Oram Lyte



Down by the river, the old log hut stands
Where Mamma and Daddy once dwelt
And the old oak latch that was worn by the hands
And the church where in prayer they knelt

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream

Time and its rapid remorseless plan
Has furrowed our brows with care
And the icy touch of its withered hand
Has slivered our locks of hair

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream

Our children have grown and have children of their own
I hear their voices echo still
And the old rocking horse sits quiet on the porch
As we listen to the wishful whippoorwill

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream

Tall grass is growing over the master's grave
But the river keeps rolling on
And the birds and the bees from the blossoms and the trees
Keep singing this same old song

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream

For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is 

Conscience Point
Composer(s): Billy Squier
Performer(s): Billy Squier



Freedom rider...though you’ve tried
Words are not enough for you now...
It’s hard on your pride
I can’t find you...though I know you
You are just a step out of line...
Come closer to me

When the lines are drawn
And no one comes to break us down
And the walls that stood between us
Tumble to the ground
It’s time to find someone to run to

I’ve got a place in mind
It’s known as conscience point
It’s where the clouds roll by
They say that nothin’ really matters
I’m goin’ out to find
Why people come this way
And put the past behind
You know there really is a reason

Changing faces...trading places
Nothing lasts anymore...it’s hard when you try
Star-crossed lovers run for cover
I don’t know if it’s right...but I know how I feel

When you’re tired of all those things
You never said before
And although you’ve tried you never opened that door
It’s time to find someone to run to

We’ll run the roads tonite
We’ll meet at conscience point
I look into your eyes
You say that nothin’ really matters
If I could change your mind
If you would look my way
And leave it all behind
You’d know you really mean so much to me

When you’ve tired of all those things
You’ve never done before
And you never took the time
To fall in love before
You’ve got to find someone to...yea

We’ll run the roads tonite
We’ll meet at conscience point
I’ll look into your eyes
And know that somethin’ really matters
’cause we can change our minds
And we can find our way
And leave it all behind
’cause you really mean that much to me

Conscience point...take a walk with me
And put it all behind
We’ll make some history

Young Johnny Jones he had a cute little boat
And all the girlies he would take for a float
He had girlies on the shore
Sweet little peaches by the score
But master Johnny was a wis'un, you know
His steady girl was Flo
And every Sunday afternoon
She'd jump in his boat
And they would spoon

And then he'd row, row, row
Way up the river he would row, row, row
A hug he'd give her
Then he'd kiss her now and then
She would tell him when,
They'd fool around and fool around
And then they'd kiss again.
And then he'd row, row, row
A little further he would go, oh, oh, oh
Then he'd drop both his oars
Take a few more encores
And then he'd row, row, row

And then he'd row, row, row
Way up the river he would row, row, row
A hug he'd give her
Then he'd kiss her now and then
She would tell him when,
They'd fool around and fool around
And then they'd kiss again.
And then he'd row, row, row
A little further he would go, oh, oh, oh
Then we'll drop both our oars
Take a round of applause
And then we'll go, go, go

I got a date tonight with such a sweet little innocent thing
I'll sweep 'er off her feet before she knows what's a-happening
I'm gonna hand her (ooh) my "sweet-talkin'" line
I know it kills her (shriek!) every time
She's gonna love me from the start
And then I'm gonna break her heart

(Unh, unh, unh, unh)

She'll be a helpless child just like a-Little Red Riding' Hood
I'm gonna charm her (mmm!) right into a trance

She's gonna love me from the start
And then I'm gonna break her heart

Roving Gambler
Composer(s): Dean Manuel; Bobby Dyson
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



I am a roving gambler
Gamble all around
Whenever I need a deck of cards
I lay my money down

I've gambled down in Cape Town
Played cards in Bloemfontein
But I'm going back to Kimberley
To gamble my last game
To gamble my last game

I hadn't been in Kimberley
Many more days than three
When I fell in love with a purdy little girl
She fell in love with me

She took me in her parlour
Cooled me with a fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear
I love this gambling man 
I love this gambling man

Tonight I'll go out on the town
Hoping lady luck will bring
A winning hand to this gambling man
Then I'll buy a diamond ring

The gamblers took their places
The cards were dealt around
I caught him dealing from the bottom of the deck
And I shot that gambler down

Here I am in prison
Dragging a ball and chain
I can still hear the old judge say
You've gambled your last game
Gambled your last game

There I Go
Composer(s): Irving Weiser - Hy Zaret
Performer(s): Bebe Daniels
and multiple other artists



There I go, leading with my heart again
And there I go, acting not so smart again
But though it's unwise
I can't disguise my love

Though one knows too much love will curb the fire
Yet there I go, led astray by my desire
There's no golden rule
To guide a fool in love

I tell my heart, "Be careful
Or you'll find that you'll dream alone"
I'm wise, it's true, what good does it do
My heart has a mind of it's own

There I go, spilling all the dreams I knew
And there I go, thrillingly in love with you
Don't know if you care
Darling, but there I go

I tell my heart, "Be careful
Or you'll find that you'll dream alone"
I'm wise, it's true, what good does it do
My heart has a mind of it's own

There I go, spilling all the dreams I knew
And there I go, thrillingly in love with you
Don't know if you care
Darling, but there I go

Conquistador
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
First release by: Procol Harum - 1967



Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company
And like some angel's haloed brow
You reek of purity
I see your armor plated breast
Has long since lost its sheen
And in your death mask face
There are no signs which can be seen

And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind

Conquistador a vulture sits, upon your silver sheath
And in your rusty scabbard now, the sand has taken seed
And though your jewel-encrusted blade
Has not been plundered still
The sea has washed across your face
And taken of its fill

And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind

Conquistador there is no time, I must pay my respect
And though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regret
And as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
Though you came with sword held high
You did not conquer, only die

And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind

And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind

There he goes, he's walkin' away
Each step he takes brings heartaches my way
She won his heart, I lost him someway
There he goes, he's walkin' away

If I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied
I'd be the one, walkin' by his side
I love him still and I guess that it shows
He's walkin' away, there he goes

Oh, if I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied
I'd be the one walkin' by his side
I love him still and I guess that is shows
He's walkin' away, there he goes

Roundabout
Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Steve Howe
Performer(s): Yes



I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
And change the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley 

The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I'll spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you 

I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley 

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you 

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagles dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand
Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand
Surrounded by a millions years 

I'll be the round about
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the round about
The words will make you out 'n' out 

I'll be the round about
The words will make you out 'n' out
And change the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley 

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

There Has Never Been
Performer(s): Shirley Jones



I felt the warmnest of your breath
It's hard to tell, is it now or then...
Our past our life so far apart
never to question never to ask why...

There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
until you came along from where, I don't know...

When sunlight shines on your face
my heart race to the other place...
where we met so long ago...
Hold my hands promises to never let me go...
To sickness and in health...

There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
until you came along from where, I don't know...

There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
Baby, Baby until you came along and sealed my faith...

Father I ask of you to make it last
just long enough until I can feel
That lift you once blessed us with once before..
My true love have looked me in the eyes again
for this last time...

There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
until you came along from where, I don't know...

There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
until you came along from where, I don't know...

The pleasure I feel from this lover that has never been..
A lover ever, a lover ever to love me like you
yes you baby to satisfy my warmest desire 
until you came along and sealed my faith...

Conjured 
Composer(s): Denise Craig; William Robert Emerson
Performer(s): Wynonie Harris



You said it was love made me stutter when I talk
But is it love that makes me stagger when I walk? 

The Gypsy woman told me 
"She's got you conjured, son" 
Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one

You said I was jealous when I didn't go to work 
You sprinkled my shoes with graveyard dirt

The Gypsy woman told me 
"She's got you conjured, son" 
Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one

The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it
The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid 
You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather
A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together 

The Gypsy woman told me 
"She's got you conjured, son" 
Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one 

The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it
The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid 
You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather
A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together 

The Gypsy woman told me 
"She's got you conjured, son" 
Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
