Too Long At The Fair
Composer(s): Joel Zoss
First release: Bonnie Raitt - 1972



Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess he went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come & take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well I went down to Chason's
Walked 'til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' was
'til you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well, you can give my soul to Aabraham
Give my soul to Saul
Give my bones to Canada
My feet they don't hurt at all

I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the prince of darkness
On his charger ride

The silver blade is gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin'
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

I Just Can't Make It By Myself
Composer(s): Clara Ward
Performer(s): Al Green; Elvis Presley; Salem Travelers



I need Jesus to guide me every day
As I'm travellin' along this rough and narrow way
Though afflictions fill my soul
I'm determined to make the goal
I've gotta have Jesus 'cause I just
can't make it by myself

Every day I pray (pray) pray (pray)
Pray (pray) pray (pray)
I pray (pray) pray (pray
Pray pray pray
Pray and ask the Lord Jesus
Don't leave me by myself

Every mornin' through the years I pray
You know I've got to have Jesus
I just can't it by myself
By myself

The waitress with the orange hair 
keeps motionin' me to hurry up and leave
So I gulp my coffee - burn my mouth - grab up my coat and slippin' out
I smear a streak of mustard down my sleeve
And the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head
And looks at me as though I've blown his mind
Hey, I just come here for some coffee
Hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you
And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

That blue eyed barracuda smiles and tells me she could use some brand new clothes
She grabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink
She's not the campfire girl you might suppose
But she's so busy tellin' me her troubles I don't think she's got time
For any kind of trouble small as mine
Hey, I just come in here for nothin'
Hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you
And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

Well I'm stopped here on the corner, when the red faced cop says move along your way
But my nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb
I think I just might stop inside that church and maybe pray
But they pass the plate and they look at me when it turns out that I ain't got a dime
Hey, I just come in here to talk to God
Hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you
And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

Too Late To Turn Back Now
Composer(s): Eddie Lee Cornelius Jr.
First release: Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose - 1972



My mama told me, she said, "Boy, please beware
There's this thing called love and it's everywhere"
She tells me, "It can break your heart and leave you in misery"
Ever since I met this little woman
I feel it's happening to me, and I'm tellin' you
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
Oh, it's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
I found myself wanting her at least ten times a day
You know, it's so unusual for me to carry on this way 
I'm tellin' you
I can't sleep at night 
I want you to hold me tight
I've tried so hard to convince myself
This feeling just can't be right, and I'm tellin' you
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
Oh, it's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
I wouldn't mind it if I knew she really loved me too
But I hate to think that I'm in love alone and nothing that I can do
Whoa
oh

It's too late to turn back now 
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
Oh, it's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
My mama told me, she said, "Son, please beware
'Bout this thing called love and it's everywhere"
She told me, "She can break your heart
Ooh, and put you in misery"
Since I met this new woman, I do believe it's happening to me
Let me tell ya
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
I find myself wanting her at least ten times a day
You know, that's so unusual for me to carry on this way 
I tell ya
I can't sleep at night for wanting to hold her tight
Ooh, I've tried so hard convincing myself 
This feeling just can't be right 
Let me tell ya
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
It's too late, ooh, baby, ooh yeah 
It's too late, baby
Now I wouldn't mind it not if I knew she loved me too
I'd hate to think that I'm in love alone 
And there's nothing that I can do 
Whoa, oh
It's too late to turn back now 
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
Ooh baby, I tell you. I believe 
I believe, I believe I'm falling in love

I Just Can't Help Believin'
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
First release by: Barry Mann - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



I just can't help believin'
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty mornin'
And the promise of tomorrow in her eye-eyes

And I just can't help believin'
When she's lyin' close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her si-i-i-ighs

This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay for more than just a da-ay

I just can't help believin'
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
That my fingers fold around it like a glo-ove

And I just can't help believin'
When she's whisperin' her magic
And her tears are shinin' honey sweet with lo-o-o-ove

This time the girl is gonna stay (this time the girl is gonna stay)
This time the girl is gonna stay for more than just a da-ay

For more than just a da-a-a-ay

(Just can't help believin')

I never thought dreams could happen
Until one came true for me
Since I met Judy
Since I met Judy
My life has been one sweet melody
Yeah! Yeah!
I never thought I could welcome....
Two other hearts as I do
Oh...Since I met Judy
Since I met Judy
Well it's been a real hip thing I'm telling you
Oh, saying that I want Judy
Talking about beauty
She's got it
I know she's got it
Her sweet little ways
Mean so much to me
Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
I'm making mine Judy
To love her! Got her! Got her! Yeah! Yeah!
Gonna keep her right here with me
Yeah! Oh yeah!
Now I find it hard to believe, that I'm happy
All my pains and heartaches are all gone
So glad I can tell the world
Since I met Judy
Since I met Judy
Well my life has been one sweet song
I won't be worried long
If you think I'm gonna leave her
Man, you're wrong
It's only Judy
I'm telling you you're wrong
I love Judy
I'm crazy about that Judy
Judy, Judy, Judy!

Too Late Now
Composer(s): Burton Lane - Alan Jay Lerner
First performance: Jane Powell - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists



Too late now to forget your smile
The way we cling when we've danced awhile
Too late now to forget and go on to someone new

Too late now to forget your voice
The way one word makes my heart rejoice
Too late now to imagine myself away from you

All the things we've done together
I relive when we're apart
All the tender fun together
Stays on in my heart

How could I ever close the door
And be the same as I was before
Darling, no, no I can't anymore
It's too late now

All the things we've done together
I relive when we're apart
All the tender fun together
Stays on in my heart

How could I ever close the door
And be the same as I was before
Darling, no, no I can't anymore
It's too late now

I Just Came To Get My Baby
Composer(s): Wayne Kemp
Performer(s): Faron Young



Well, I didn't come in here to cause you no trouble
And bartender just forget that glass of beer
And I'm sorry old buddy that I pulled her from your arms
But I just came to get my baby out of here

Would you believe she's never been inside of a tonky tonk
And would you believe she can't stand the taste of beer
Well, I just don't know what's come over my baby
And I just came to get my baby out of here

Well, I know exactly what you're up to
'Cause I've been watching what you've been doing from the door
And I told you once to keep your hands off of her
And I ain't gonna tell you anymore

Would you believe she's never been inside of a tonky tonk
And would you believe she can't stand the taste of beer
Well, I just don't know what's come over my baby
And I just came to get my baby out of here...

Judy, Judy n'est pas jolie
Judy, Judy celle qu'on oublie
(Que l'on oublie)
Dès que la soirée s'achève
Judy, Judy on te charrie
Judy, Judy on te marie
(On te marie)
Et toujours avec un rêve
Sous ton rimmel et tes bijoux
Tu prie Sainte Marilyne Monroe
D'être une poupée un beau joujou
Tu peux te plaindre
Enfin la femme

Judy, Judy se réfugie
Judy, Judy dans la magie
(dans la magie)
Des flacons si doux à boire
Judy la nuit
Fait un songe dérisoire
Un jour un soir changer de peau
Avec les pis sur les photos
À boire encore comme un roseau
Les yeux tout vides
Mais pas de rides

Judy, Judy & Compagnie
Judy, Judy qu'on sacrifie
(qu'on sacrifie)
Contre une poignée de neige
Pauvre Judy

Dodo do do do dodo
Do do do do dodo do
Dodo dodo dodo

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky

She's a girl in a dream
She sees a four-eyed cartoon monster
On the T.V. screen
She takes another puff and says
"It's a crazy scene"
That red is green
And she's a tangerine

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't left the ground

I'm too high
I'm too high
I hope I never ever come down

She's the girl in her life
But her world's a superficial paradise
She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice
But no dice
She wasn't very nice

Ooh

Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
Do do do do do do

Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
Dodo dodo
Dodo dodo
Dodo dodo

I'm too high
I'm too high
I'm so high
I feel like I'm about to die

I can't ever touch the sky

I'm too high
She's a girl of the past
I guess that I got to her at last
A did you hear the news about the girl today
She passed away
What did her friend say

They said she's too high
Too high
Can't hang around anyway...

Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
do... do... do...

I Just Called To Say I Love You

Title In Other Languages:
1984 - Je T’appelle Pour Te Dire Que Je T’aime 
1984 - Pour Te Dire Je T'aime
1984 - Ik Bel Jou, M'n Schat, Ik Mis Je



No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact, here's just another ordinary day

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No April rain, no flowers' bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is is something true 
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

No summer's high, no warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun, no Hallowe'en
No giving thanks for all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, tho' old, so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

Here's a silly ditty
You can sing it right away
Now, here is what you say
So sing it while you may

Here's a silly jingle
You can sing it night or noon
Here's the words, that's all you need
'Cause I just sang the tune:

Oh, I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat
She's too fat
She's too fat for me

I get dizzy
I get numbo
When I'm dancing
With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo

I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat
She's too fat
She's too fat for me

Can she prance up a hill?
No, no, no, no, no
Can she dance a quadrille?
No, no, no, no, no
Does she fit in your coupe?
By herself she's a group
Could she possibly
Sit upon your knee?
No, no, no

We don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
And she's too fat for me
But she's just right for me
We don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
Yeah, she's too fat
Much too fat
But she's just right for me

She's so charming
And she's so winning
But it's alarming
When she goes in swimming

We don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
But she's just right for me
So I sure want her, you can't have her
She's just right for me
But she's too fat!
She's not too fat!
She's just right for me!

She's a twosome
She's a foursome
If she'd lose some
I would like her more some

I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
I don't want her you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat
Much too fat
She's too fat for me

C'est pas Noël c'est pas le printemps
Y'a pas de bougies, y'a pas de cadeaux sous les rubans
Pas de nouvelle sensationnelle
Aujourd'hui est un jour normal tout simplement
Y'a pas d'amis qui se marient
Pas de première, pas de soirée d'anniversaire
Mais il fallait que je te dise
Ces quelques mots qui chantent au plus profond de moi

Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
Je voulais te dire simplement ça
Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
Et je meurs ce soir de m'endormir sans toi

Y'a pas d'étoiles sur l'océan
De nuit d'été doucement caressée par le vent
C'est pas l'automne quand on s'étonne
D'un tourbillon d'oiseaux dans le soleil levant
Pas de secret à t'annoncer
Pas de surprise et pas de chœur dans une église
Mais il fallait que je te dise
Ces quelques mots qui chantent au plus profond de moi

Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
Je voulais te dire simplement ça
Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
Et je meurs ce soir de ne pas être avec toi
Avec toi, avec toi

Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Juca foi autuado em flagrante
Como meliante
Pois sambava bem diante 
Da janela de Maria
Bem no meio da alegria
A noite virou dia
O seu luar de prata
Virou chuva fria 
A sua serenata 
Não acordou Maria

Juca ficou desapontado
Declarou ao delegado
Não saber se amor é crime
Ou se samba é pecado
Em legítima defesa
Batucou assim na mesa
O delegado é bamba
Na delegacia
Mas nunca fez samba
Nunca viu Maria

I Hung My Head
Composer(s): Sting
First release by: Sting - 1996

Blue Highway - 1999 
Johnny Cash - 2002



Early one morning
With time to kill
I borrowed Jebb's rifle
And sat on a hill
I saw a lone rider
Crossing the plain
I drew a bead on him
To practice my aim

My brother's rifle
Went of in my hand
A shot rang out
Across the land
The horse, he kept running
The rider was dead
I hung my head
I hung my head

I set off running
To wake from the dream
My brother's rifle
Went into the sheen
I kept on running
Into the south lands
That's where they found me
My head and my hands

The sheriff he asked me
Why had I run
And then it came to me
Just what I had done
And all for no reason
Just one peace of lead
I hung my head
I hung my head

Here in the court house
The whole town was there
I see the judge
High up in the chair
Explain to the court room
What went through you mind
And we'll ask the jury
What verdict they find

I felt the power
Of death over life
I orphaned his children
I widowed his wife
I begged their forgiveness
I wish I was dead
I hung my head
I hung my head

I hung my head
I hung my head

Early one morning
With time to kill
I see the gallows
Up on a hill
And out in the distance
A trick of the brain
I see a lone rider
Crossing the plain

And he'd come to fetch me
To see what they'd done
And we'd ride together
To kingdom come
I prayed for god's mercy
For soon I'd be dead
I hung my head
I hung my head

I hung my head
I hung my head

Performer(s): Stubby Kaye;
Elliot Lawrence; Shelly Manne



When we fought the Yankees and annihilation was near
Who was there to lead the charge that took us safe to the rear?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
Old "Toot your own horn - pone"
Jubilation T. Cornpone, a man who knew no fear!

When we almost had 'em but the issue still was in doubt
Who suggested the retreat that turned it into a rout?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
Old "Tattered and torn - pone"
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he kept us hidin' out!

With our ammunition gone and faced with utter defeat
Who was it that burned the crops and left us nothing to eat?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
Old "September Morn - pone"
Jubilation T. Cornpone, the pants blown off his seat!

Hurray!

When it seemed like our brave boys would keep on fighting for months
Who took pity on them and ca-pit-u-lated at once?  
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Unshaven and shorn - pone
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he weren't nobody's dunce!

Who went re-con-noiter-ing to flank the enemy's rear
Circled through the piney woods, and disappeared for a year? 
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
Old "Treat 'em with scorn - pone"
Jubilation T. Cornpone, the missing mountaineer!

Who became so famous with a reputation so great
That he ran for president and didn't carry a state? 
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
Old "Wouldn't be sworn - pone"
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he made the country wait!

Stonewall Jackson got his name by standing firm in the fray
Who was known to all his men as good ol' "Paper Mache?"
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone

Too Dumb For New York City
Composer(s): Waylon Jennings - Basil McDavid
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings



When I first saw New York city
I was green down to the core
You could see my red neck glowing
For a mile or maybe more

Between the hustlers and the hookers
I must have made their day
'Cause they peeled me like an apple, Lawd
And sent me on my way

When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged
It ain't no place to be
So I came to one conclusion
New York ain't for me

From sea to shining sea
And coast to coast
Somewhere in the middle
Is the land I love the most
I ain't California pretty
I can't survive the Great White Way
I'm too dumb for New York city
And too ugly for L.A.

I made my way to Tinseltown
To Hollywood and Vine
Out among those pretty faces
I'd surely find a place for mine

The way I walk, the way I talk
They'll hang on every word
But don't call me, I'll call you
Was all I ever heard

In L.A. what they're thinking
Ain't what they talk about
At least in New York city
There's never any doubt

From sea to shining sea
And coast to coast
Somewhere in the middle
Is the land I love the most
I ain't California pretty
I can't survive the Great White Way
I'm too dumb for New York city
And too ugly for L.A.

I'm too dumb for New York city
And too ugly for L.A.

I Hope You'll Stay
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



I hope you'll stay and have a cup of tea
Oh I hope you'll play my monopoly
And I hope you'll do what the others do
You say you'd love me to
Make that cup of tea like I said I would
Make that cup of tea like I know I should
And not to think what the others think
So that when you say you like me
I'll be so overjoyed
I'll take the unemployed
I'll give them all a job
They sure could use one, my God!
Isn't it funny, no
A million out of work is really so good for nothing
When you think that there should be jobs by the dozen
But as often is the case
Nothing ever seems to take place
And not to think what the others think
So that when I say I like you
You'll say you like me too
You'll say you like me tooaa
That's all
