Streets Of Laredo (Traditional) Performer(s): Faro Burke & The Dealers - 1960 and multiple other artists
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo As I walked out in Laredo one day I spied a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
"Oh beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly Singy the Death March as you carry me along Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me I'm a young cowboy and know I´ve done wrong"
"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy" These words he did say as I boldly walked by "Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story Got shot in the breast and I know I must die!"
"My friends and relations they live in the Nation They know not where their dear boy has gone I first came to Texas and hired to a ranchman Oh I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong"
"It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing It was once in the saddle I used to go gay First to the dram house and then to the card house Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today"
"Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song Put bunches of roses all over my coffin Put roses to deaden the sods as they fall"
"Go gather around you a group of young cowboys And tell them the story of this my sad fate Tell one and the other before they go further To stop their wild roving before it's too late"
"Oh, bury me beside my knife and my shooter My spurs on my heels, my rifle by my side And over my coffin put a bottle of brandy That the cowboys may drink as they carry me along"
"Go fetch me some water, a cool cup of water To cool my parched lips," the poor cowboy then said Before I returned his spirit had left him Had gone to his Maker, the cowboy was dead
We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly And bitterly wept as we bore him along For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young, and handsome We all loved our comrade although he'd done wrong

I came here looking for something I couldn't find anywhere else Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody Just want a chance to be myself
I've done a thousand miles of thumbin' I've worn holes in both my heels Trying to find me something better On the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Spent some time in San Francisco Spent a night there in the can They throw this drunk man in my jail cell Took fifteen dollars from that man
Left him my watch and my old house key Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal Then I thanked him as I was leaving, and I headed for the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go You say you're gonna take him oh but I don't think you can Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

Clouds so swift Rain won't lift Gate won't close Railings froze Get your mind off wintertime You ain't goin' nowhere Whoo-ee! Ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, oh, are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair!

Ah, Bleak And Chill The Wintry Wind Composer(s): Alfred Shaddick Burt - Rev. Bates Gilbert Burt Performer(s): The Singers Unlimited and multiple other artists
Ah, bleak and chill the wintry wind But colder far be he Who hath no warmth of love to share With Christ the babe that Mary bare On His nativity, on His nativity
Dark, dark the night when Christ was born But deeper shadows be Within the heart that has no joy With Mary and her heavenly boy On His nativity, on His nativity
Peace be to them, and right good cheer Who carol merrily And hie them forth when church bells ring To kneel before their newborn King On His nativity, on His nativity

You Composer(s): Nils Lofgren Performer(s): Nils Lofgren
Ah, you, wake me with the genlest touch When you, kiss me, oh, I feel I must I have you You have everything I need Except a burning love for me
When I first saw you that day I had to ask you stay We ate and drank to much And our hearts softly touched Now, in us I do believe Or have I been deceived
Ah, you; you come down like early rain, and you Wash away my every pain, and you You have everything I need Except a burning love for me
Well we had this for a while And when we make love, you'd always smile Still, there's a distance I can't close I'm in deeper, and it shows It shows
Well, while our hearts are young and there's still time Tell me what to do to make you mine Oh, mine, ah, you You walk outside and birds start to sing, ah, you You look at me and know everything I feel I feel, grant me one wish, and I'll be free I want you more in love with me I want you more in love with me, ah, you
Street Of Dreams Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Joe Lynn Turner First release by: Rainbow - 1983
I heard the sound of voices in the night Spell bound there was someone calling I looked around no on was sight Pulled down I just kept on falling I've seen this place before You were standing by my side I've seen your face before tonight Maybe I just see what I want to be I know it's a mystery Do you remember me on a street of dreams Running through my memory On the street of dreams
There you stood a distant memory So good like we never parted Said to myself I knew you'd set me free And here we are right back where we started Something's come over me And I don't know what to feel Maybe this fantasy is real Now it's still a mystery
Do you remember me on a street of dreams Running through my memory On the street of dreams You are on every face I see On the street of dreams
Tell me have you always been On the street of dreams Will we ever meet again my friend Do you know just who you'll see do ya On the street of dreams You can be who you want to be oh yeh I can hear you calling me I can feel you haunting me Haunting me
Street Of Dreams Composer(s): Lindsay Buckingham - Richard Dashut Performer(s): Lindsay Buckingham
Cant get going Fear is showing On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Street of dreams
Theres no telling What theyre selling On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Street of dreams
Theres a shadow on my daddys stone, where he was laid, laid to rest. I ask him is this just a dream, or is it just another test? I turn my back against the cold, I turn my face into the wind And I wonder will I ever, ever make it home again? Shadow on daddys stone, ten years gone, it seems I ask him will i ever stop, ever stop dreaming dreams?! He said never, never, never
And I was praying Youd be staying On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Street of dreams
You French Title: Je Ne Connais Que Toi Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
You are all I've ever known Through every dreamless night Through every empty dawn You and only you alone Were my moment of truth Were my promise of youth reborn Far in the corners of my mind In shadows hard to find You were godlike, a voice That lingered in the air When every hope was gone You called me ever on Through my time of despair
You are words I'll never find Too full to ever say Too deep to understand You make music in my mind Can't imagine a day Without wishing to find your hand Some may wait a lifetime long And never hear the song That makes all heaven smile And when they ask me Who has made my life worthwhile As if you didn't know I owe it all to you
