Cowboy's Dream No. 19 Composer(s): Dan Hicks Performer(s): Dan Hicks
I want to go back where the space is wider To ride on horseback and roll my own smokes Longing to go back where people seem politer I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
I've been away so long I think this is the right road But it's changed so much don't know for sure And the day will come when I'll be on the right road I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
I can send off a letter to 'em but that would leave no surprise No, I got to wait, wait for that look in their eyes And I'll sit by the creek where the water runs cool and I know I'll have such a good time I'm sayin' hello, and evening I'll go
I can smell the coffee brewing I'll take mine black, you know it's good, it's good to be back Go on and tell me how you folks been doing I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
Hey Bill won't you tell me when that train does stop I want to get off and say hello to a couple of people I think I still know And I ain't one to mince my words, I'll take a piece of that cake that they make I can't be late, you got to get what's on the plate... Odle ladie oh!

Cowboy Song Composer(s): Brian Downey; Phil Lynott First release by: Thin Lizzy - 1976 and multiple other artists
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail A starry night, a campfire light The coyote call, the howling winds wail So I ride out to the old sundown
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, Im just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the range Looking back it seems so strange
Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Running free with the buffalo
I was took in Texas I did not know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in Mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo
Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free The cowboys life is the life for me
This Heart Of Mine Composer(s): Harry Warren - Arthur Freed Performer(s): Fred Astaire and multiple other artists
Maybe it was the music Or the glamorous sky of blue Maybe it was the mood I was in Or maybe it was really you... really you
This heart of mine was doing very well The world was fine as far as I could tell And then quite suddenly I saw you, and I dreamed of gay amours At dawn i wake up singing sentimental overtures
This heart of mine is gaily dancing now I taste the wine of real romancing now Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design As long as life endures, it's yours, this heart of mine
Cowboy From Brooklyn Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Harry Warren Performer(s): Jimmy Dorsey and multiple other artists
When I was just a little shaver back in Brooklyn I always thought that I would like to be a cowboy Because I loved to see 'em in the movin' pictures A-ridin' and a-shootin' away And so as I grew up I saved a lotta money I bought a saddle and I bought a buckin' bronco I said goodbye to all the fellas back in Brooklyn And I went to Arizona one day But I'll tell you, Pard, I worked so hard And ev'rybody played so rough That they always had me waitin' on the table Sweepin' out the stable and stuff ! And so I sold my saddle and my buckin' bronco And you won't ever catch me near another cowboy 'Cause I can always see 'em in the movin' pictures A-ridin' and a-shootin' away Okay! But I belong in Brooklyn Hangin' 'round the drugstore 'Roundin' up the sodas all day
J'Ai Raté Le Coche Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Quand est mort mon oncle Léon J'héritais d'son accordéon J'y ai mis toute mon ardeur Là j'étais plus au goût de l'heure
J'ai raté le coche C'est ça qui est moche
Ma fiancée était jolie Elle me dit 11 heures à la mairie Quand j'arrivai au train de midi Elle me présenta son mari
J'ai raté le coche encore une fois J'ai raté le coche touchons du bois
J'ai trouvé un gros portefeuille Au Grand Hôtel, Dieu quel accueil! Quand je me présentai pour payer Les billets étaient périmés
J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche
Comme un voleur je fus jugé Au fond je ne plaignais de rien Un prisonnier ça mange bien C'était complet j'suis acquitté
On m'attribue quelques talents Je suis allé trouver Paris Pour lui communiquer mes prix Hélas Paris était absent
J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche
J'avais les poches pleines d'espoir Maintenant c'est moche je vois tout noir Laisse à Gavroche toute sa gloire T'es qu'un fantoche, t'es qu'une bonne poire
Comme je me connais je pense bien Que ça va durer toute ma vie C'est ma nature, j'y suis pour rien Je rate le coche, ça vient de Fam Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche

Cowboy Convention
Composer(s): Peter Barnfather - John Carter
Performer(s): Ohio Express; Buddy Alan; Don Rich
I was riding the prairie, when out of the blue I could see There were two dozen indians starting to close up on me There was no place I could run, and I never carry a gun So I cried for help
And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid I'd have been lost if they hadn't shown up as they did And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names
I was safe in my cabin and thinking of going to bed When an Indian tomahawk stuck in the wall by my head I looked through the window and saw there were three thousand Indians or more So I cried for help
And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid I'd have been lost if they hadn't shown up as they did And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names
One day I was caught and was taken to see Running Bear But we got on so well that he told me that I could stay there And according to Indian law, I could have me a choice of a squaw I needed no help!
And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid I'd have been fine if they hadn't shown up as they did And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names
Il a plutôt la gueule gentille Y s'laisse aimer tout comm' les filles Puis y vous r'garde en rigolant Alors, bien sûr, c'est désarmant Y vous donne rendez-vous un jour S'il y v'nait, ça s'rait trop facile On attend comme un imbécile Il est vraiment fait pour l'amour
{Refrain:} J'ai qu'à l'regarder J'ai envie d'chanter D'courir dans les champs Avec le printemps De chanter pour moi De crier ma joie Dès que j'l'aperçois Y m'regard' comm' ça Puis y m'dit tout bas "Viens, on va s'aimer" J'ose plus respirer C'que c'est bon d'l'aimer Tra la la la ...
Ça s'ra ma dernière aventure Oh! mon Dieu, pourvu qu'elle dure Si j'devais plus l'revoir un jour Je serais dégoûtée d'l'amour Il a tant d'femm's autour de lui Qui rôd'nt autour des ses épaules... Alors j'suis là, j'm'accroche à lui Y a vraiment qu'lui qui trouv' ça drôle

L'averti o no Ci pensa dietro a te Non mangia piú E beve quel che dici tu Tutta piú Fa un sospiro Sbatte gli occhi Tira il petto in sú Ma non to ammetterá Che é innamorata di...
Di te che sei Piú timido di lei L'averti o no C'é poco da nascondere Molto da accarezzare Lei é rossa Rossa come te
Ma chi sei perché Ha in corpo un diavolo E cerca te E vuole te
Lei é innamorata É un fiore che fai Sbocciare se vuoi

((Danish Version: Hvis Bare Du Ku' Se Mig Nu (Peter Belli) - 1979))
Composer(s): Tom Jans
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday (France) - 1974
Si tu reviens un jour Marcher sur les traces de notre amour Tu ne trouveras plus ton chemin Si un jour ici tu reviens Tu verras la maison Comme moi Elle a son cur l'abandon Et ses portes ouvertes à tous les vents Ne me cherche pas plus longtemps
J'ai pleuré sur ma guitare En chantant notre histoire
Il pleut toujours un peu Sur les chagrins Tu es partie trop tôt Tu es venue si tard Et je ne sais même pas où va ce train
J'ai attendu longtemps Guettant ta voix Dans la voix du vent Ton image dans l'eau des torrents Et ton parfum dans les champs
Il pleut toujours un peu Sur les chagrins Tu es partie trop tôt Tu es venue si tard Et je ne sais même pas où va ce train

Coward Of The County Composer(s): Roger Bowling; Billy Edd Wheeler Performer(s): Kenny Rogers and multiple other artists
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong His mama named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy "Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun
Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done Walk away from trouble if you can It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek I hope you're old enough to understand Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"
There's someone for ev'ryone and Tommy's love was Becky In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin' They took turns at Becky.... There was three of them!
Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin' The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again
"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done Walk away from trouble if you can It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek I hope you're old enough to understand Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor When Tommy turned around they said "Hey look! ol' yellow's leavin'" But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and blocked the door
Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin' He said, "This one's for Becky," as he watched the last one fall And I heard him say
"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you done I walk away from trouble when I can Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek and Papa, I sure hope you understand Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"
Que de fois j'ai pleuré de joie Face à mon bonheur qui vit dans ton cur Que de fois ta façon d'aimer a ensoleiller mes jours Et pourtant nous avons tremblé Chaque fois qu'il y avait un danger Mais tout ça c'est la peur du feu D'un amour heureux
Que de fois j'ai pleuré de joie A te regarder vivre à mes côtés Que de fois j'ai vu dans tes yeux L'existence du merveilleux Trop de gens souffrent encore D'être seul dans la vie Et leur cri chaque jour Est un cri d'amour
Que de fois j'ai pleuré de joie Depuis cet instant du premier serment Et depuis mon cur ne reçoit Que ce qui me vient de toi Les enfants que tu m'as donnés Les élans de ta sincérité Ton sourire, ta confiance en moi Je te dois tout ça
Quand je prends ma vie dans tes bras Je prends chaque fois le monde avec toi Mais ce soir encore une fois J'ai envie de pleurer de joie
This Girl Is A Woman Now Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap
This girl walked in dreams Playing in a world of her own This girl was a child Existing in a playground of stone Then, one night her world was changed Her life and dreams were rearranged She would never be the same again
This Girl is a Woman Now She's learned how to live This Girl is a Woman Now She's found out what it's all about And she's learnin', learnin' to live
This girl tasted love, as tender as the gentle dawn She cried a single tear A teardrop that was sweet and warm Our hearts told us we were right And on that sweet velvet night A child had died, a woman had been born
This Girl is a Woman Now She's learned how to live This Girl is a Woman Now She's found out what it's all about And she's learnin', learnin' to live
Cow Patti Composer(s): Jim Stafford Performer(s): Jim Stafford
From the badlands came the killer He lived by his knife and the gun He'd cut you just for standing And shoot you if you tried to run He was as big as a tree and did what he pleased And everything he did was bad They said, if you was to kill him It'd only make him mad
From the goodlands came the cowgirl Patti was her name She was hot on the trail of that killer On a moped she called Flame 'Cause the killer had killed her daddy Just for spittin' in the road And you only had to kill her daddy once To get that gal p.o.'d.
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti She rode into town To find the man That killed her daddy Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
The killer hit town at daybreak Ate the door off the local saloon He started to drink You could tell there'd be a showdown soon Patti hit town in a cloud of dust Old Flame was buzzin' like a saw And the whole town got quiet as a church When the killer stepped out for the draw
Forty shots rang out, forty people fell Patti and the killer missed each other But they shot the town to hell The killer took a step toward Patti Said, "It's time I gunned you down" But he slipped in something That was laying in the street And was shot before he hit the ground
Yes, the killer slipped And it cost him his life And Patti said, as she raced out of town "You got to watch your step When you know the chips are down"
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti She rode into town To find the man That killed her daddy Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
