These Are The Things I Love
Composer(s): Harold Barlow - Lewis Harris
Performer(s): Della Reese; Dizzy Gillespie; Sam Butera



The glow of sunset in the summer skies
The golden flicker of the fireflies 
The gleam of lovelight in your loving eyes
These are the things I love

A silver moonbeam peeping through the trees
A bed of tulips nodding in the breeze
The look you give in answer to my pleas
These are the things I love

Once I thought that life was just a winter thing
My heart was cold, and then
You came to me and like a breath of spring
You turned the silver snow to gold!

A robin's serenade when day is through
A bubbling brook beside our rendez-vous
Your sweet voice whisp'ring darling, I love you
These are the things I love

Cotton Jenny
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Anne Murray
and multiple other artists



There's a house on a hill
By a worn down weathered old mill
In a valley below where the river winds
There's no such thing as bad times

And a soft southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name
And she wakes him up when the sun goes down
And the wheel of love goes round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound

He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round

When the new day begins, he goes down to the cotton gin
And he makes his time worth while to then
Then he climbs back up again
And she waits by the door, oh Cotton Jenny he's sore
And she rubs his feet while the sun goes down
And the wheel of love goes round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound

He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound

He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
Wheels go round
Wheels go round
Love go round
Love go round
Love go round

Jack The Ripper
Composer(s): Anders Melander; Peter Wahlqvist
Performer(s): Nationalteatern



Det är nån som våldtar din mamma 
på storvaruhusets golv 
det är nån som kidnappar små små barn 
och torterar dem med tuggummivåld 

Han slipar sin kniv 
sen tar han ditt liv 

Jack Ripper, Jack the Ripper 
det går en mördare lös 
Jack Ripper, Jack the Ripper 
vem vågar vittna när blodet frös 

Han sliter hjärtat ur bröstet 
på en ensam pensionär
han sätter en sil i en trasig själ
som förslavas av sitt eget begär
han smyger omkring på fabriken
och lemlästar din kropp
han hackar din hjärna i små små bitar
och krossar ditt sista hopp

Han slipar sin kniv
sen tar han ditt liv

Jack Ripper, Jack the Ripper, 
det går en mördare lös........ 

I besvikelsens iskalla tystnad 
han håller oss i sin hand 
förgiftar vårt blod med lystnad 
att långsamt förgöra varann 

Jack Ripper, Jack the Ripper..... 

Jack Ripper, Jack the Ripper.....

These Are Not My People

Well, your momma and your poppa sent ya to the finest school
Never let it be said that their little darlin was a fool
With a credit card and your good name
You were drawn like a moth to a flame
To the people of the night where you more or less lost your cool

It's been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass

These are not my people no
These are not my people 
And it looks like the end my friend
Gotta get in the wind my friend

Well you find yourself naked in the world with no place to hide
And you felt for the pulse of you're god and he had died
Now you're rebels that have got no cause
Lord, you're tigers that have got no claws
Well they promised you the world on a string but you know they lied

Oh, you said you'd be back in a black Cadillac limousine
But you know I'm inclined to think it's not the kind you mean
'Cause when you fall down from off your cloud
And you're just another face in the crowd
There gonna throw you away like last week's magazine

Cotton Fields
Composer(s): Leadbelly
First recording by: Leadbelly - 1941
Covered by multiple other artists



When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

Oh when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

Oh when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
In them old cotton fields back home

Jack Of Speed
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Phil Upchurch



Teddy's rolling now most every night
Skatin' backwards at the speed of light
He's changed - in a thousand little ways
He's changed - yes indeed
You know he's movin' on metal, yes he's
Hanging tight with the Jack of Speed

Sheena's party - there's a case in point
That right-wing hooey sure stunk up the joint
He's gone - he walks through the old routines
But he's gone - guaranteed
He may be sittin' in the kitchen, but he's
Steppin' out with the Jack of Speed

You maybe got lucky for a few good years
But there's no way back from there to here
He's a one way rider
On the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less

He can't hear you honey - that's alright
Pack some things and head up into the light
Don't stop - he'll be callin' out your name
But don't stop when you hear him plead
You better move now little darlin' or you'll be
Trading fours with the Jack of Speed

There's Yes! Yes! In Your Eyes

and multiple other artists



You fooled me, dear, now for a year
My heart you tantalize
But without a doubt, I have found out
The secret in your eyes

Your lips tell me no, no
But there's yes, yes in your eyes
I've been missin' your kissin'
Just because I wasn't wise
I'll stop my scheming and dreaming
'Cos I realize
Your lips tell me no, no
But there's yes, yes in your eyes

I never knew just what to do
You had me fooled somehow
You made me guess, but I confess
I know your secret now

Your lips tell me no, no
But there's yes, yes in your eyes
I've been missin' your kissin'
Just because I wasn't wise
I'll stop my scheming and dreaming
'Cos I realize
Your lips tell me no, no
But there's yes, yes in your eyes

Don't you remember, don't you know

Tuck my gal away fum me
Carried her off to Tennessee

His teeth was out an' his nose was flat
His eyes was crossed, - but she did n't mind dat
Kase he was tall, and berry slim
An' so my gal she follered him
I'd 'a' been married forty year ago
Ef it had n't a-been for Cotton-eyed Joe!

She was de prettiest gal to be found
Anywhar in de country round
Her lips was red an' her eyes was bright
Her skin was black but her teeth was white
I'd 'a' been married forty year ago
Ef it had n't a-been for Cotton-eyed Joe!

Dat gal, she sho' had all my love
An' swore fum me she'd never move
But Joe hoodooed her, don't you see
An' she run off wid him to Tennessee
I'd 'a' been married forty year ago
Ef it had n't a-been for Cotton-eyed Joe!

There's Two Sides To Every Story
Composer(s): Fred Rose
Performer(s): Bob Wills



There's two sides to every story
Someday you'll have to listen to mine
For the time being, it's yours...
I'm getting the blame for our parting
And somehow there's nothing to do
There's two sides to ev'ry story
They're all taking sides with you
A rumour's around that I hurt you
And you know that just couldn't be
There's two sides to ev'ry story
But nobody listens to me
You told him that I didn't want you
That I caused your poor heart to pine
There's two sides to ev'ry story
And someday they'll have to hear mine

There's Something Wrong With The Weather 
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band (vocals Alan Breeze)



There’s something wrong with the weather
Now we’re no longer together
It’s always raining now, sweetheart
Ever since you went away
Sunny skies are always grey
I can’t believe it’s true that we would ever part
There’s something wrong when I’m walking
The friends we knew now are talking
It’s plain for all the world to see
I know I’ve made a foolish blunder
And without you can you wonder?
It’s always raining now, sweetheart

Cada día ella siempre hace todo igual
me depierta a las seis, antes que el sol
me sonríe con sonrisa puntual 
y me besa con boca de mentol
Todo el día ella dice: "Te has de cuidar"
cosas que dice siempre una mujer, dice 
que está esperándome a almorzar
y me besa con boca de café
Todo el día yo pienso en poder parar
al mediodía pienso en decir: "no"
luego pienso en la vida y continuar 
y me callo con boca de "Margot"
En la tarde, a las seis, era de esperar
ella viene y me espera en el portón
dice estar como loca por besar 
y me besa con boca de pasión
Cada noche me pide a su lado estar
medianoche y me jura eterno amor
y me aprieta hasta hacerme sofocar
y me besa con boca de pavor
Cada día ella hace todo igual
me despierta antes que el sol 
me sonríe con sonrisa puntual 
y me besa con labios de mentol
Cada día ella siempre hace todo igual

Jack O'Diamonds, on the move

Jack O'Diamonds, one-eyed knave
On the move, hits the street
Bumps his head, on the ground
Well, he's a scout, you're born to lose
Shouldn't stay

Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds
This one-eyed prince, wears a single love
Oh sure, he's not that lovely
Jack O'Diamonds broke my hand
Left me here to stand

Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to land

Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card 
Jack O'Diamonds is a high card 
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card 
But it ain't hard enough

Jack O'Diamonds can open for riches
Jack O'Diamonds but then it switches
Colour by picture but it's only a ten

Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds

Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play

Only So Much Oil On The Ground
Performer(s): Tower of Power



There's only so much oil on the ground
Sooner or later there won't be much around
Tell that to your kids while you driving downtown
That there's only so much oil on the ground

Can't cut loose without that juice
Can't cut loose without that juice
If we keep on like we doing things for sure
Will not be cool - It's a fact
We just ai't got sufficient fuel

There's only so much oil in the ground
Sooner or later there won't be none around
Alternate sources of power must be found
Cause there's only so much oil in the ground

There's only so much oil in the earth
It's a fact of life - for what it's worth
Something every little boy and girl should know since birth
That there's only so much oil in the ground

There's no excuse for our abuse
No excuse for our abuse
We just assume that we will not
Exceed the oil supply
But soon enough the world will watch the wells run dry

Todo dia ela faz tudo sempre igual
Me sacode às seis horas da manhã
Me sorri um sorriso pontual
E me beija com a boca de hortelã

Todo dia ela diz que é pra eu me cuidar
E essas coisas que diz toda mulher
Diz que está me esperando pro jantar
E me beija com a boca de café

Todo dia eu só penso em poder parar
Meio-dia eu só penso em dizer não
Depois penso na vida pra levar
E me calo com a boca de feijão

Seis da tarde como era de se esperar
Ela pega e me espera no portão
Diz que está muito louca pra beijar
E me beija com a boca de paixão

Toda noite ela diz pra eu não me afastar
Meia-noite ela jura eterno amor
E me aperta pra eu quase sufocar
E me morde com a boca de pavor

Todo dia ela faz tudo sempre igual
Me sacode às seis horas da manhã
Me sorri um sorriso pontual
E me beija com a boca de hortelã

Jack Daniel's, if you please
Knock me to my knees
You're the only friend
That has ever has been
That didn't do me wrong

Jack Daniel's, if you please
Knock me to my knees
You can kill this pain
That's driving me insane
Since my baby's gone

Cigarettes and whiskey
Call my shaking hand
I just lost a lover
To a one night stand
Something temporary
Too late I had learned
Someone from the past
Said it couldn't last
A bridge she could burn

Jack Daniel's, if you please
Knock me to my knees
You're the only friend
That has ever has been
That didn't do me wrong

Jack Daniel's, if you please
Knock me to my knees
You can kill this pain
That's driving me insane
Since my baby's gone

Promises were broken
Dreams were left to die
Empty words were spoken
Tears were in our eyes
Something temporary
Those tears will fade away
Do the best you can
Help me understand
These games that people play

Jack Daniel's, if you please
Knock me to my knees
You're the only friend
That has ever has been
That didn't do me wrong

Jack Daniel's, if you please
Knock me to my knees
You can kill this pain
That's driving me insane
Since my baby's gone

You can kill this pain
That's driving me insane
Since my baby's gone

Côté Banjo, Côté Violon
Composer(s): Joe Dassin - Pierre Delanoë - Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Je suis né dans une ville où tout est haut
Sous les cinquante étoiles d'un drapeau
Mon enfance joue quelque part dans la nuit
Sur un palier d'escalier d'incendie

Mais c'est en France que j'ai eu mes quinze ans
Soirs de danses, baisers de débutants
La première place en anglais
Le premier amour en français

Côté banjo there's always St. Francisco Bay
Côté violon toujours Paris au mois de mai
Côté raison, je me sens quelquefois d'ailleurs
Mais d'ici côté cœur

Et j'aime côté banjo les grands serments sur un gratte-ciel
Côté violon les petits dîners aux chandelles
Côté nana je suis de partout à la fois
Mais d'ici côté toi

Certains vont à Cannes pour finir leur vie
D'autres se rangent en Californie
Mais quand viendra l'heure de me retirer
Je serais sans doute bien embêté

A moins peut-être que j'aille passer gaiement
Ma retraite sur voilier tout blanc
Et couler des jours pacifiques
Au milieu du ciel atlantique

Côté banjo there's always St. Francisco Bay
Côté violon toujours Paris au mois de mai
Côté raison, je me sens quelquefois d'ailleurs
Mais d'ici côté cœur

Et j'aime côté banjo les grands serments sur un gratte-ciel
Côté violon les petits dîners aux chandelles
Côté nana je suis de partout à la fois
Mais d'ici côté toi
