Tucumcari Composer(s): Mark McIntyre - William Olofson Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers
Twelve more miles to Tucumcari I've been hurrying there To the gal I'm gonna marry With the yellowest hair
Left, right, march along I just gotta get home (Just gotta get home) Ten more miles to Tucumcari Then I'll never more roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)
Eight more miles to Tucumcari It's the fourth of July Been three years in January Since I kissed her goodbye
Left, right, march along I've just gotta get home (Just gotta get home) Six more miles to Tucumcari Then I'll never more roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)
Four more miles to Tucumcari Not much further to go Got no time to waste or tarry She'll be waitin' I know
Left, right, march along I've just gotta get home (Just gotta get home) Two more miles to Tucumcari Then I'll never more roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)
Here I am in Tucumcari Found my yellow-haired gal Just in time to see her marry With my very best pal
Left, right, march along Guess I better be gone (I better be gone) A thousand miles from Tucumcari I'll be rambling on (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I'll be rambling on)
A hundred miles from Tucumcari Down in Santa Fe Fell in love with a girl named Mary Gee I'm happy today
No more marching now Found my honeycomb (Found my honeycomb) I've forgotten Tucumcari No more reason to roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari) I've forgotten Tucumcari No more reason to roam
I Was Born In Virginia (aka "Virginia" or "Ethel Levey's Virginia Song") Composer(s): George M. Cohan Performer(s): Ethel Levey
I was born in a Southern state Where all nature's sublime In a city where the gals are pretty And the sun shines nearly all the time Hospitality there you'll find Bright smiles ev'rywhere When I look 'roun' and see some other town I'm mighty glad I come from there
I was born in Virginia That's the state that will win yer If you've got a soul in yer Ain't no Southern frown In the city of Norfolk Home of beauties and war talk Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it That doggarn town
Something nice about Southerners You don't find ev'rywhere Never con yer, but they smile upon yer And they make you happy while you're there Old Kentucky and Tennessee They can certainly go some Travel far and wide, still I'm satisfied To settle in the state I'm from
I was born in Virginia That's the state that will win yer If you've got a soul in yer Ain't no Southern frown In the city of Norfolk Home of beauties and war talk Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it That doggarn town
El Mala Estrella Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez

Ahí les va el nuevo corrido
es la historia de un amigo
que nació con mala estrella
anmda muy enamorado
pero mal correspondido
pues nació con mala estrella
Yo le digo no seas tonto
ya no le hagas tanto al loco
la muchacha... no te quiere...
yo sé bien que anda volada
por un tipo que muy hombre
pero como es muy tu amigo
mejor ne te doy su nombre
Qué voy a hacer
si cada que me mira
me dice y me suspira
que como yo no hay otro
Qué voy a hacer
si yo también la miro
le digo y le suspiro
que con su amor soy todo
Pero él sigue con su sueño
de llegar a ser su dueño
la muchacha... no lo quiere...
yo lo mando a la cantina
que se acabe una botella
pero ya ni el vino le hace
pues nació con mala estrella
Old Kentucky cradled me when I was born Old Kentucky how I miss your field of corn nighttime when I get to bed how I weep and toss my head I'll weep no more I'm going back instead
Old Kentucky smile up on alone some shack dear old 'Tucky keep it bright till I get back make the shadows stay away from my mammy old and gray she'd weep no more if she could hear me say
Tuck me to sleep in my old 'Tucky home cover me with Dixie skies and leave me there alone just let the sun kiss my cheeks every morn like the kissin' I've been missin' from my mammy since I'm gone I ain't had a bit of rest, since I left my mammy's nest I can always rest the best in her loving arms tuck me to sleep in my old Tucky home let me lay there, stay there never no more to roam
I Was A Fool To Care French Title: J'ai Été Fou D'aimer - 1979 Composer(s): James Taylor First release by: James Taylor - 1975
I was a fool to care I was a fool to care I was a fool to care But I don't care even if I was a fool I'm still in love with you
Had I listened to the grapevine I might have had my doubts But I did my level best just to block them out 'Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes And it took a while for a fool to see What his friends were on about
I was a fool to care I was a fool to care I was a fool to care But I don't care even if I was a fool I'm still in love with you
Imagining your face it almost fills the empty space before me I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies
I wish I was an old man And love was through with me I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee I wish I was a freight train moving down the line Just keeping track of time without all these memories
I was a fool to care I was a fool to care I was a fool to care But I don't care even if I was a fool I'm still in love with you Baby, yes, I am I could have opened my eyes I could have seen through your lies I could have stood for no more I could have walked out the door
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care
Tubby: When the buds begin to pop And the robin takes a hop Everybody says, "It's spring today!" I suppose that may be so But I'd like for you to know I can always tell it's spring another way/ I can always tell it's spring When the circus comes to town It makes me want to sing When I bump into a clown! When the circus marches past And the band goes tan-ta-ra I know it's spring at last, And my heart goes, "Oom-Pah!"
Tubby's Idea: Alley-oop, Oom-Pah Alley-oop, Oom-Pah An acrobat you ought to be Alley-oop, Oom-Pah Alley-oop, Oom-Pah Hey Tubby! You'd be a sight to see!
Elephant: Be yourself, you can't be anybody else Be yourself is my advice to you Or else you'll always be a nobody So be yourself, or else A hippopotamus Would look very curious Flying like a butterfly A fierce and hungry lion Would look silly tryin' To bake an apple pie I think you'd get a laugh If you saw a tall giraffe Swinging by his tail from a tree I think an octopus Would look quite ridiculous Knitting sweaters at the bottom of the sea So be yourself, and do the things that you know best Be yourself, I think that you'd be happiest By being no one else but you
J'ai Été Fou D'aimer Adapted from: I Was A Fool To Care - 1975 Composer(s): James Taylor; Michel Delpech; Jean-Michel Rivat Performer(s): Michel Delpech - 1979
J'ai été fou d'aimer J'ai été fou d'aimer J'ai été fou d'aimer Mais je m'en fous Même si j'ai été un fou
Je suis encore amoureux Si j'avais écouté les ragots j'aurai eu quelques doutes Mais j'ai fait tout mon possible pour leur barrer la route Car l'amour n'y voit rien Et l'amour nous tient Et il faut du temps à un fou qui rêve Pour savoir ce que tout le monde sait
J'ai été fou d'aimer J'ai été fou d'aimer J'ai été fou d'aimer Mais je m'en fous Même si j'ai été un fou
Je suis encore amoureux J'imagine ton visage Tu remplis presque tout l'espace devant moi Et je vois tes yeux Tes mensonges et tes jolis jeux Oh oui Je voudrais être un vieil homme qui n'a plus ces tourments Je voudrais être un bébé sur les genoux de sa maman Je voudrais être comme un train qui siffle où qu'il aille Qui suit toujours ses rails Sans mes souvenirs obsédants
J'ai été fou d'aimer J'ai été fou d'aimer J'ai été fou d'aimer Mais je m'en fous Même si j'ai été un fou
Je suis encore amoureux Oh oui, je le suis J'aurai pu ouvrir les yeux J'aurai pu voir dans ton jeu J'aurai pu en avoir marre J'aurai pu te dire au revoir Mais
J'ai été fou d'aimer J'ai été fou d'aimer J'ai été fou d'aimer Mais je m'en fous Même si j'ai été un fou
El Lazo Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara; Francesca Ancarola
Cuando el sol se inclinaba lo encontre en un rancho sombrio de Lonquen en un rancho de pobres lo encontre cuando el sol se inclinaba en Lonquen
Sus manos siendo tan viejas eran fuertes pa' trenzar eran rudas y eran tiernas con el cuero'el animal El lazo como serpiente se enroscaba en el nogal y en cada lazo la huella de su vida y de su pan
Cuanto tiempo hay en sus manos y en su apagado mirar Y nadie ha dicho: esta bueno ya no debes trabajar La sombra viene laceando la ultima luz del dia el viejo trenza unos versos pa' maniatar la alegria
Sus lazos han recorrido sur y norte, cerro y mar pero el viejo la distancia nunca la supo explicar Su vida deja en los lazos aferrados al nogal despues llegara la muerte y tambien lo laceara Que importa si el lazo es firme y dura la eternidad laceando por algun campo el viejo descanzara
Cuando el sol se inclinaba lo encontre en un rancho sombrio de Lonquen en un rancho de pobres lo encontre cuando el sol se inclinaba en Lonquen
Tubby The Tuba Composer(s): George Kleinsinger - Paul Tripp Performer(s): Danny Kaye and multiple other artists
There once was a band, best in the land Everybody said oh my, they're grand But oh, how they laughed when the tuba went by With an oompah pah, and a great big sigh Tubby the tuba puffing away never had a tune to play Always dreamed he'd sing a song instead of puffing all day long With his oompah, oom pah pah, oom pah, oompah pah pah Tubby said oh, gosh oh, gee, wish I had a melody I'd be better off I know if I didn't have to blow This oompah, oom pah pah, oompah, oom pah pah Then a friendly frog came by and said now Tubby don't you cry Take my bullfrog serenade and you'll be the star of the big parade Tubby sang the song so grand, now he's leader of the band He's as famous as can be with Tubby the tuba's melody Then a friendly frog came by and said now Tubby don't you cry Take my bullfrog serenade and you'll be the star of the big parade Tubby sang the song so grand, now he's leader of the band He's as famous as can be with Tubby the tuba's melody Tubby the tuba's melody
I Was A Fool (To Let You Go) Composer(s): Marty Panzer; Barry Manilow Performer(s): Barry Manilow and multiple other artists
After I've had my last cigarette When the night is as black as the night's gonna get
Well, I'm still wide awake cause I still can't forget I was a fool to let you go And after I've closed the bar with the boys Though I can't stand the drinks and I can't stand the noise When I know I'll be back 'cause there's no other choice I know I was a fool to let you go
I was a fool to think That I could sleep a wink In this big empty bed by myself And I was a fool to wait Until it was too late To tell you just how I felt And after I've been with somebody new And she knows what to say Ah but not what to do Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true I know I was a fool to let you go And after I've been with somebody new And she knows what to say Ah but not what to do Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true When I see what it cost and what I'm going through I know I was a fool I was a fool to let you go
Through the twilight, I can hear the humming of a melancholy coon (mm-mm) For the memories that still linger, I thank you mister Moon And, although I've never smiled Winter, summer, autumn too Now here's one tune to remind me why I feel so blue-oo...
Tubas in the moonlight, playing for me all night Tell me what I want to hear Am I only dreaming? Am I only scheming? Stars above me, shining brightly Why can't she be sitting here beside me? Tubas in the moonlight will bring my loved one home
Tubas in the moonlight will bring my loved one home
Outbound Plane Composer(s): Nanci Griffith; Tom Russell First release by: Nanci Griffith - 1988 Covered by multiple other artists
I don't want to be standing here With this ticket for this outbound plane Oh, I've been here before Somehow this doesn't feel the same Talk is cheap So we could talk all night long And we may never figure out just where your love went wrong
'Cause I don't want to be standing here Don't want to be talking here And I don't really care who's to blame 'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will It's gonna catch that outbound plane
The old folks say Love is not forever anymore Because these young people walk away from love alone To pace the floor Young or old I say that love is still the same You may walk away from love but you'll fall head and heel again
'Cause I don't want to be standing here Don't want to be talking here And I don't really care who's to blame 'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will It's gonna catch that outbound plane
Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing Neither cares where that other heart is going But, if love won't fly on it's own free will It's gonna catch that outbound plane
That frown you're wearing's Just your halo turned upside down Where is the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found? These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground You can have this ticket for that lonely plane that's flying out
'Cause I don't want to be standing here Don't want to be talking here And I don't really care who's to blame 'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will It's gonna catch that outbound plane

Sale loco de contento Con su cargamento para la ciudad Lleva en su pensamiento Todo un mundo lleno de felicidad Piensa remediar la situación Del hogar que es toda su ilusión Y alegre el jibarito va cantando así Diciendo así, pensando así por el camino Si yo vendo mi carga mi Dios querido Un traje a mi viejito le voy a comprar Y alegre también su yegua va Al presentir que aquel cantar Es todo un himno de alegría En esto le sorprende la luz del día Y llegan al mercado de la ciudad Piensa remediar la situación Del hogar que es toda su ilusión
Tua Moglie ((French Version: Ta Femme (Dalida) - 1974)) Composer(s): Pascal Sevran - S. Lebrail - Pascal Auriat - Arnaldi Performer(s): Dalida
Son già le otto e devi andare Anche stavolta tarderai Aggiusta il nodo alla cravatta C'è un moi capello sulla giacca Son sempre qui quando mi vuoi Non far quell'aria triste dai Potrebbe anche farne un dramma Tua moglie
Lei in cucina e tu di là Sedato in faccia alla TV Dopo sei anni spesi in due Tu la sopporti e lei ci stà Non far vedere che sei giù Porta ogni tanto qualche fior Anche se a volte lei ti pesa Tua moglie
Accanto a me vieni a cercar Una rivalsa ai tuoi tabù Ma non appena sei nei guai E solo a lei che lo dirai Questo legame di ogni di E un'altra forma dell'amor Non dirmi che non conta niente Tua moglie
D'accordo non lo ammeetti mai Ma quanti pregindizi hai Appena via dalle mie braccia Ritorni il piccolo borghese Per ritrovar fiducia in te Non è che in fondo non va Vederla arrendersi in silenzio Tua moglie Tu vieni qui per soddisfar Il tuo amor proprio il tuo piacere Io invece mi accontenterei D'esser la madre dei figli tuoi
Se c'è chi invidia il posto moi E lei che dorme accanto a te A questo punto io mi domando Se non è meglio ch'io ti renda A tua moglie

Vieni, facciamo ancora un'altra foto col colombo in man' così, sorridi bene senza smorfie lo sguardo fisso su di me mentre conto fino a tre sarai contento quando poi tua cugina lo vedrà che a Venezia siamo stati anche noi
