I Gave My Wedding Dress Away
Composer(s): Hy Heath; Fred Rose
Performer(s): Kitty Wells; Eileen Reid & The Cadets



Tomorrow was to be my wedding day
But I gave my wedding dress away
Another will be holding my bouquet
So I gave my wedding dress away

My baby sister wanted him
And so she took my place
It's worth a broken heart
To see the smile upon her face
I've cared for her since Mother went away
So I gave my wedding dress away

"Everything I ever wanted, she always wanted too
And maybe giving in to her was not the thing to do
I always let her have her way, perhaps I wasn't strong
But I was all she had to turn to when anything went wrong
She's all I have to live for, she's all the joy I've ever had
And though she's hurt me many times, she really isn't bad
I saw the lovelight in her eyes, the day she met my Jim
And then I knew that he belonged to her and she belonged to him"

If I could win him back again
Our love would be devine
But I could never break her heart
The way that she broke mine
I'll worship him until my dying day
But I gave my wedding dress away

Jive After Five
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins



I work all day as a soda jerk
On my feet all the time and oh man, how they hurt
Don't make much, but I sure get the news
I don't have much time for gettin' the blues
My friends drop in for sodas and pop
There'll all talking, friends, about a new record hop

All day long I'm a-fillin' orders
Takin' in nickels, dimes and quarters
Cherry sodas and a chocolate shake
Strawberry sundaes and a lemon phosphate
Time to clean the fountain, 'cause it's almost five
You know me dad, after five I jive

I wanna jive, ah-ah-ah, I wanna jive
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I wanna jive, yes, after five
Oh-oh-oh, I wanna jive, man alive, after five

Well, I mop the floor and I wipe the counter
I just work here dad, I'm not the founder
I keep a-workin' and a-watchin' the clock
A-peepin' out the window for my baby to stop
We'll head out of town to a little night dive
Because you know me dad, after five I jive

All day long I'm a-fillin' orders
Takin' in nickels, dimes and quarters
Cherry cokes and tall root beer
A coat of vanilla with a chocolate smear
Time to clean the fountain, 'cause it's almost five
You know me dad, after five I jive

I wanna jive, I wanna jive
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, and then we jive
Yeah, I wanna jive, yes, man alive
Come on now cat, let's jive

Everybody rock, I wanna jive
Ah-ah-ah, I wanna jive
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I wanna jive
Yes, I wanna jive
Man alive, I wanna jive
Jive, jive after five

I Gave My Love A Diamond
Composer(s): Bert Berns;  Wes Farrell
Performer(s): Them & Van Morrison



I gave my love a diamond, a ten cent stone
I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone
I gave my love a promise that had no truth
What good is a promise without no truth? 

I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold
I gave it to her lie by lie by lie by lie that I had told
I gave my love a story that had no end
What good is a story that's got no end? 
Tell me

I wrote her that we'd get married in about one year's time
I wrote her in a boxcar on the Memphis line
I sent my love a letter without no stamp - ha!
And what good is a letter without no stamp? 

Goodbye baby
I'm feelin' so alone I'm movin' on
I ain't got no tall tale
Don't call me - I'll call you
See ya

Jivaro Song
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Jivaro, Jivaro

Vide vite mon cerveau
Je t'en prie Jivaro
Réduis ma tête à zéro
Que j'échappe enfin aux femmes
À l'alcool et aux tripots
Je t'en prie Jivaro
Vide vite mon cerveau
Je t'en prie Jivaro
Réduis ma tête à zéro Jivaro

Le ciné, la télé et même le LSD
N'arrivent plus, Jivaro, à me faire décoller
Je t'en prie Jivaro
Vide vite mon cerveau
Je t'en prie Jivaro
Réduis ma tête à zéro

Jivaro, Jivaro,

Je vais exploser bientôt
Sous le poids de la vie, de ma femme, de mon auto
Je t'en prie Jivaro
Vide vite mon cerveau
Je t'en prie Jivaro
Réduis ma tête à zéro
Jivaro, Jivaro
Vide vite mon cerveau

I Gave My Love A Cherry
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
and multiple other artists



I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone
I gave my love a chicken
That had no bone
I told my love a story
That had no end
I gave my love a baby
With no crying

How can there be a cherry
That has no stone?
And how can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
And how can there be a story
That has no end?
And how can there be a baby
With no crying?

A cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when in the shell
It has no bone
The story of how I love you
It has no end
A baby when it's sleeping
It's no crying

Jitterbug Waltz
Composer(s): Richard Maltby Jr.; Fats Waller
Performer(s): Fats Waller



The night is getting on
The band is getting slow
The crowd is almost gone
But here we are still dancing

Nothing to do, but waltz

Our feet can barely move
My legs are yelling "Whoa"
But we're in such a groove
And love is still advancing

Nothing to do, but waltz

You can't suggest that we could go on jitterbugging
No bugging

We've nothing left for moves more strenuous than hugging
Just hugging

But we don't need much room to gently cut-a-rug in, we two

We're dead on our feet
And the sauce is repeatin'
But what can you do?

I tried another juice
And get from head to toe
My body's feeling loose
And warm and kind of supple

Nothing to do, but waltz

My man would slip away
My arms just won't let go
I think I'd like to stay
Till we're the only couple

Nothing to do, but waltz

You never know how far this sort of thing can get you
One never knows, one never, never knows

We're not as tired as we would like to think, I bet you
You stay up half the night with me, if I would let you
Yes

So come, let the waltz play again

I Found You In My Dreams
Composer(s): Joseph George Gilbert; Michael Carr
Performer(s): Sam Browne



My heart was crying ‘til I found you in my dreams
My heart stopped sighing when I found you in my dreams
The moon above, your song of love created romance
Kisses so tender made me surrender, dear
But now I’m singing a song of a million themes
Your smile is bringing the joy of a million schemes
You’re my ideal, and now that I know you’re real
I bless the night that I found you in my dreams

J'Irai Où Tu Iras
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



Il y a des moments si beau
Qu'on voudrait y croire
Quand on veut les saisir
Quand on sait les voir
Et puisqu'il faut vivre
Etre ensemble ou se suivre
C'est beaucoup plus fort
Je suis peut etre celle qui te fermera les yeux
Peut etre qu'on se croise pour un instant ou deux
Dans ce qui nous entoure
Y a tellement d'élans d'amour
Qui se perdent

Là Là C'est un volcan qui gronde
Là Là C'ets un rêve qui s'en va
Là Là Un homme qui sort de l'ombre
Là Là Et se bat
Là Là On s'écroule sous le nombre
Là Là Mais les enfants sont rois
Là Là On est au bout du monde
Là Là Mais moi...
J'irai où tu iras

Quelquefois je suis l'eau
Quand tu voudrais le feu
Peut-être qu'on est seul
Même quand on est deux
Mais quand tout semble possible
Partager l'inaccessible
C'est beaucoup plus fort

Là Là C'est une passion qui sombre
Là Là On fait des feux de joie
Là Là On veut refaire le monde
Là Là On y croit
Là Là C'est la force qui tombe
Là Là Et fait régner sa loi
Là Là La colère et la fronde
Là Là Mais moi...
J'irai où tu iras

I Found The End Of The Rainbow
Composer(s): John Mears; Harry Tierney; Joseph McCarthy
Performer(s): The Big Apple Chorus



Thought I'd never find my happiness
I just watched the days roll by
But a ray of gladness came through clouds of sadness
like a little sunbeam from the sky
I found a rainbow of a golden hue 
it led me to a land where dreams come true

Thought I'd never find my luck day
failure was my middle name
My imagination, thrilled with new sensation
I had a winning in life's game
here after I will always trust in fate
the sun will always shine for those who wait

I found the end of the rainbow
when you first smiled on me
all my happiness came with your caress and the world was fair to see
believe me, somebody way up in heaven just sent the sunshine through 
and I found the end of the rainbow
when I found you sweet you

Yippee yay
There’ll be no wedding bells for today

I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle

And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong

Oh, Lillie Belle
Oh, Lillie Belle
Though I may have done some foolin'
This is why I never fell

I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin' merrily along
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong

Instrumental Finish (Nat Gonella’s recording)

Oh, Mary Ann
Oh, Mary Ann
Though we done some moonlight walkin'
This is why I up and ran

I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin' merrily along
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong

So I'll jingle on along

Composer(s): Glenn Frey; J. Tempchin
Performer(s): Glenn Frey; Dave Edwards; Petrella



I never thought it could happen
It was the furthest thing from my mind
I just turned my back on a sad love affair
Was try'n' to leave it all behind
That's when I met you
I just couldn't say no
One look in your eyes
And I said here I go
I found somebody
I found somebody to love
I found somebody
I found somebody to love

I'd seen so much deceivin'
I almost stopped believin'
I'd ever fall in love again
I was runnin' around hidin' my heart
Fakin' it with all of my friends
I was down on my luck
That's when you came along
You put me back on my feet
You got me singin' this song

I found somebody
I found somebody to love
I found somebody
I found somebody to love
And she loves me in the midnight hour

You know ever since I found you
And put my arms around you
I don't need a doggone thing
You know that ev'ry day is such a beautiful day
I want the whole world to dance and sing
So don't you dare hang your head
Don't you dare be blue
If it can happen to me
It can happen to you

And you'll be singin' this song
I found somebody
I found somebody to love
I found somebody
I found somebody to love

I Found Out
Composer(s): John Lennon
First release by: John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band - 1970



I told you before stay away from my door
Don't give me that brother, brother, brother
The freaks on the phone won't leave me alone
So don't give me that brother, brother, brother
I found out

Now that I showed you what I been through
Don't take nobody's word what you can do
There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky
Now that I found out I know I can cry
I found out

Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand
Don't get you nowhere, don't make you a man
I heard something bout my ma and my pa
They didn't want me so they made me a star
I found out

Old hare Krishna got nothing on you
Just keep you crazy with nothing to do
Keep you occupied with pie in the sky
There ain't no Guru who can see thru your eyes
I found out

I been through junkies, I been through it all
I've seen religion from Jesus to Paul
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine
Can't do you no harm to feel your own pain
I found out

Jinetes En El Cielo
English Title: (Ghost) Riders In The Sky
Composer(s): Stan Jones; A. Alpin
Performer(s): Raphael;
and various other artists



Leyenda de un jinete que galopa sin cesar
Cumpliendo la condena de cruzar la eternidad
Por traicionar en vida lo que fue su gran amor
Sembrando llantos y dolor en otro corazon

Jinetes por el cielo van y no se detendran

Detras de aquel jinete van diablos en troquel
Que gritan y castigan sin descanso a su corcel
Son tantos los amores que en su vida traiciono
Que nunca encontrara perdon en otro corazon

Jinetes por el cielo van y no se detendran

Pusieron rosas rojas en memoria de su amor
El cielo se ha encendido con un bello resplandor
Y ya la enamorada le ha sabido perdonar
Borro su culpa la oracion, por fin descansara

Jinetes por el cielo van y no se detendran

Galopan sin poder parar jamas

I Found Love
Composer(s): Gary Duncan; Alonzo Tucker; Jackie Wilson
Performer(s): Quicksilver Messenger Service



Been waiting here a long long time
pain and trouble on my mind
You came along and made me see
oh you lifted me

Shot up everything that our money could buy
over and over, tryin' to find out why
I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea
oh I found love

I found love in a baby's smile
I found love in an old man's eye
I found love in a lover's kiss
ooh I found love

All my friends thought I was cryin'
it's strange to see a good man going down
I gave all I had to give
and you came along, taught me how to live

I want to thank you each and every day
thank you baby, for showin' me the way
I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea
oh I found love, love, love, I found love ...

Jimmy's girl, Jimmy's girl
Wish that I were holdin' Jimmy's girl

I'm in love with Jimmy's girl
Though I've never met her
Still I can't forget her
Jimmy's girl

Jimmy's always telling me
That her hair is golden

He says her lips are warm
Each time they kiss good night
And just as sweet as any lips can be-ee
And then I close my eyes
And though it's make-believe
I pretend she's in love with me-ee

How I long for Jimmy's girl
But her love is taken
So my heart is breakin'
For Jimmy's girl (Jimmy's girl)

Although it's make-believe
I pretend she's in love with me-ee

I'm in love with Jimmy's girl
But her love is taken
So my heart is breakin'
For Jimmy's girl, Jimmy's girl
How my heart is breakin'
For Jimmy's girl (Jimmy's girl)

I Found A Rose (In The Devil's Garden)
Composer(s): Willy Raskin; Fred Fisher



Lost in a city that has no pity I found a rose,
Little lonesome rose
Where smiling faces, hide broken hearts
In happy places, where sorrow starts
Some body's sister, whose folks have missed her
A mother dear
She's a lonesome tear
For little baby, who went away
She's kneeling maybe, just now to pray
I found a rose, in the devil's garden
Wandring alone, little lonesome rose
For her the sun is never shining
For her the clouds have, no silver lining
I found a rose, in the devil's garden
Playing the game, of the Moth and Flame
Beneath the powder and paint
Maybe the heart of a saint
Where sorrow grows, I found a rose
I found a rose, in the devil's garden
Wandring alone, little lonesome rose
For her the sun is never shining
For her the clouds have, no silver lining
I found a rose, in the devil's garden
Playing the game, of the Moth and Flame
But maybe deep in her heart
She's thinking of a new start
Where sorrow grows, I found a rose
