'Til The Storm Passes By Composer(s): Mosie Lister Performer(s): Bill & Gloria Gaither and multiple other artists
In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place 'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry Keep me safe till the storm passes by
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more Till the clouds roll forever from the sky Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand Keep me safe till the storm passes by
Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by" But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise Where the storms never darken the skies
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more Till the clouds roll forever from the sky Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand Keep me safe till the storm passes by
When the long night has ended and the storms come no more Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more Till the clouds roll forever from the sky Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand Keep me safe till the storm passes by
I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow (aka Farewell Song) Composer(s): Dick Burnett Performer(s): Emry Arthur - 1928 and multiple other artists
In constant sorrow through his days
I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my day I bid farewell to old Kentucky The place where I was born and raised
The place where he was born and raised
For six long years I've been in trouble No pleasures here on earth I found For in this world I'm bound to ramble I have no friends to help me now
He has no friends to help him now
It's fare thee well my old lover I never expect to see you again For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train
Perhaps he'll die upon this train
You can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave
While he is sleeping in his grave
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you'll never see no more. But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore
Je N'Oublierai Jamais Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Quand on a dix-huit ans Des amis merveilleux Fainéants Pique-assiette et que l'on est comme eux Pas bégueules On va dans les salons Snobinards et dorés Jouer Les anarchistes aigris, les révoltés Forts en gueules Je n'oublierai jamais Le troupeau de crevards Hirsutes et mal lavés Arrivant quelque part Assaillant le buffet Et jetant au hasard Les pattes dans les mets Sous de tristes regards De détresse
Je n'oublierai jamais Nos hurlement d'horreur En voyant des objets Des tableaux de valeur On se montrait exprès Goujats et monstrueux Et puis l'on décampait Sans merci, ni adieu A l'hôtesse On se voulait cyniques Exécrables, et pourtant Nous étions romantiques faits de chair et de sang De faiblesse
Je n'oublierai jamais Je n'ai pas de remords Et je recommencerai Si je tenais encore Ma jeunesse
A l'époque on était De joyeux rigolos Plus ou moins Attachés A de vagues journaux très obscurs Philosophes, écrivains Poètes d'occasion Illustres inconnus Néanmoins Nous avions la dent dure
Je n'oublierai jamais Nos merveilleux festins Près des tonneaux percés D'où pissait le bon vin Quand nous étions vautrés Dessus ou bien dessous Que le jus nous coulait Dans le nez, dans le cou Les entrailles
Je n'oublierai jamais Nos cris et nos serments Nos discours enflammés Sur le désarmement Nos folles équipées Nos courses éperdues A travers un quartier Qui nous crachait dessus Nos batailles Les filles à la page Qui partageaient nos jours Et faisaient le ménage La cuisine, et l'amour Tendres cailles
Je n'oublierai jamais Ce que j'ai vu s'enfuir Je n'ai pas de regrets Car j'ai des souvenirs En pagaille
It's not the first time it's happened to me 'Cause every girl I seem to get leaves me But I'll keep on trying Till the right one comes along Oh, oh, oh
Every time I think "this is the one" All she'll do is get up and run But I'll keep on trying Till the right one comes along
I've tried so hard but it seems no use 'Cause every time I get to like somebody They just get up and leave And it gives me the blues
It's not the first time it's happened to me Every girl I seem to get leaves me But I'll keep on trying Till the right one comes along Oh, oh, oh
I've tried so hard but it seems no use 'Cause every time I get to like somebody They just get up and leave And it gives me the blues
Every time I think "this is the one" All she'll do is get up and run But I'll keep on trying Till the right one comes along Oh, oh, oh I'll keep on trying Till the right one comes along Oh, oh, oh I'll keep on trying Till the right one comes along

Versions In Other Languages: 1971 - Die Welt Von Heut' (Pascal Legrand) 1971 - La Casa Degli Angeli (Caterina Caselli)
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time And the feeling is 'lay back' Palm trees grow, and rents are low But you know I keep thinkin' about Making my way back Well I'm New York City born and raised But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home New York's home, but it ain't mine no more "I am," I said To no one there An no one heard at all Not even the chair "I am," I cried "I am," said I And I am lost, and I can't even say why Leavin' me lonely still Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king And then became one Well except for the names and a few other changes I you talk about me, the story's the same one But I got an emptiness deep inside And I've tried, but it won't let me go And I'm not a man who likes to swear But I never cared for the sound of being alone "I am," I said To no one there An no one heard at all Not even the chair "I am," I cried "I am," said I And I am lost, and I can't even say why Leavin' me lonely still
Till The Morning Comes Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead
Till the morning comes, it'll do you fine Till the morning comes, like a highway sign Showing you the way, leaving no doubt Of the way on in or the way back out
Tell you what I'll do, I'll watch out for you You're my woman now, make yourself easy, make yourself easy Make yourself eeeeeeasy
Till we all fall down, it'll do you fine Don't think about what you left behind The way you came or the way you go Let your tracks be lost in the dark and snow
Tell you what I'll do, I'll watch out for you You're my woman now, make yourself easy, make yourself easy Make yourself eeeeeeasy
When the shadows grow, it'll do you fine When the cold winds blow, it'll ease your mind The shape it takes could be yours to choose What you may win, what you may lose
Tell you what I'll do, I'll watch out for you You're my woman now, make yourself easy, make yourself easy Make yourself eeeeeeeasy
You're my woman now, make yourself easy You're my woman now, make yourself easy You're my woman now, make yourself easy You're my woman now, make yourself easy
Je N'En Connais Pas La Fin Composer(s): Raymond Asso; Marguerite Monnot Performer(s): Edith Piaf; and various other artists
Depuis quelque temps l'on fredonne Dans mon quartier, une chanson La musique en est monotone Et les paroles sans façon Ce n'est qu'une chanson dus rues Dont on ne connaît pas l'auteur Depuis que je l'ai entendue Elle chante et danse dans mon cur
{Refrain:} Ha ha ha ha A mon amour Ha ha ha ha A toi toujours, Ha ha ha ha Dans tes grands yeux Ha ha ha ha Rien que nous deux
Avec des mots naïfs et tendres Elle raconte un grand amour Mais il m'a bien semblé comprendre Que la femme souffrait un jour Si l'amant fut méchant pour elle Je veux en ignorer la fin Et, pour que ma chanson soit belle Je me contente du refrain
{Refrain}
Ils s'aimeront toute la vie Pour bien s'aimer, ce n'est pas long Que cette histoire est donc jolie Qu'elle est donc belle, ma chanson Il en est de plus poétiques Je le sais bien, oui, mais voilà Pour moi, c'est la plus magnifique Car ma chanson ne finit pas

When I lost my baby (baby) I almost lost my mind When I lost my baby (baby) I almost lost my mind My head is in a spin since she's left me behind
I went to see the gypsy And had my fortune read I went to see the gypsy And had my fortune read I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said
Well, I can tell you, people (people) The news was not so good Well, I can tell you, people (people) The news was not so good She said "Your baby's left you" "This time she's gone for good" (gone for good)

Je Ne Veux Plus Parler D'Amour Italian Title: D'Amore Non Ne Parlo Più Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
J'étais parti tête baissée A coeur ouvert et sans penser Qu'un jour il me faudrait apprendre Que la flamme engendre ma cendre Je ne veux plus parler d'amour D'amour Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
Au faux-jour de tes sentiments J'ai cru dans mon aveuglement Qu'on vivait plus qu'une aventure Mais j'étais dans le clair-obscur Je ne veux plus parler d'amour D'amour Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
Je ne veux plus dire ou entendre Ce que nos voix se disaient en écho Tantôt fous, tantôt tendres Je veux les désapprendre Car ce n'était pour toi que des mots Que des mots
Je ne les avais pas appris Sur mes lèvres ils avaient fleuri Au soleil chaud de ma tendresse Comme au printemps les roses naissent Je ne veux plus parler d'amour D'amour Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
Je suis au fil de mes pensées Un voyageur désorienté Dans la forêt de tes mensonges Qui a perdu la clef des songes Je ne veux plus parler d'amour D'amour Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
Je ne ferai plus la folie De croire à ces phrases qui sonnent faux Je n'en ai plus envie Elles n'ont dans ma vie Perfidement laissé que des maux Que des maux
Mon coeur a compris la leçon Quand il a payé sa rançon Au prix fort il me faut l'admettre Pour le peu qu'il a cru connaître Je ne veux plus parler d'amour D'amour Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
