I'll Be There, Mary Dear (aka Mary Dear or "Goodbye, Mary Dear") Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling; Harry Von Tilzer Performer(s): Roy Harvey and multiple other artists
"Goodbye, Mary I must go" Said a lad, "Now don't grieve so For it's duty calls me far across the sea" "Take this autumn leaf of gold" Said the maid, "'Twill ne'er grow old Always wear it next to your heart and think of me"
"Meet me yonder down the lane When I come back home again 'Neath the tree where this golden leaf once grew Kiss me, Mary, then we'll part" Said the lad with a broken heart "When the leaves begin to fall, I'll be with you"
"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there When the fragrance of the roses fills the air 'Neath that old tree grand and tall When the leaves begin to fall, I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"
See the lad with empty sleeve Of his comrades taking leave They were home again, the transport had come back "If she loved you long ago, She won't love you less, I know But one arm will do to hold her to you, Jack"
It was autumn time again As he wandered down the lane There beneath that old oak tree he found a grave So he knelt in silent prayer For the one he loved slept there As the tears fell on the golden leaf she gave
"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there When the fragrance of the roses fills the air 'Neath that old tree grand and tall When the leaves begin to fall I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"
Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund Ich leg faul auf meinem Kissen und seh' mir mitleidig zu Wie mich wilde Hektik packt zur Morgenstund' Und verdrossen von dem Schauspiel legt ich mich zurück zur Ruh
Denn ich hätte zwei Interessen erstens Schlafen, zweitens Fressen Und was sonst schön geistige Dinge angeht Währe ausschließlich Verdauung der Kern meiner Weltanschauung Und der Knochen um den dieser welt sich dreht
Ja allein meiner Meditationen Grund Es gibt tage da wünscht ich ich wär' mein Hund
Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund Und ich hätte seine keilförmige Nase den es schien mir die Umwelt vor ganz neuem Hintergrund und ich ordnete sie ein in ganz anderen Kategorien die die aufrecht gehen, die kriechen die die wohl, die übel riechen und die Typen die mir stinken könnt' ich dann Hose oder Roch zerreißen und sie in den Hintern beißen was ich heut' nur in extremen Fällen kann Denn ich kenn" meinen zahnärtstlichen Befund Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund
Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund Dann kümmerte mich kein Besuch, kein Klatsch, keine Affairen Redete mir nicht mehr Fuseln an den Mund um irgendwelchen Strohköpfen irgend etwas zu erklären Denn anstatt zu diskutieren legte ich mich stumm auf ihren Schoß und sie kraulten mir zwangsläufig den bauch Und Solls an der Haustür schellen würd' ich hingehen, würde bellen froh daß ich niemandem reinzulassen braucht Und ich sagte tut mir leid aber zur Stund' ist der Boß nicht da und ich bin nur der Hund
Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund Denn mir scheint das ich als er beträchtliche Forteile hät' Denn ich lebte wie ich leb' weiter im grund' Esse zwar unter dem Tisch, doch schlief ich noch in meinem Bett Sparte aber ungeheuer, zahlte nur noch Hundesteuer Nur in einem bin ich als Mensch besser dran darum mag er mich beneiden, denn ich bin der von uns beiden der die Kühlschranktür allein aufmachen kann Und das sind Momente die genieße ich Denn ich weiß dann wünscht mein Hund er wäre ich Denn ich weiß dann wünscht mein Hund er wäre ich

Es Geht Eine Träne Auf Reisen ((French & Italian Versions: Une Larme Aux Nuages (Salvatore Adamo); Affida Una Lacrima Al Vento (Salvatore Adamo)) Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen sie geht auf die Reise zu mir der Wind bringt sie mir mit den Wolken und ich weiß, sie kommt nur von dir
Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen die unsere Trennung beklagt und heißt es auch, man soll niemals weinen kommt es vor daß man gar nicht fragt
Es war so schön, an deiner Hand zu gehn es war so schön, dich immer anzusehn uns schien sogar der Regen rosarot sind nun für uns all diese Wunder tot
Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen du schickst sie rund um diese Welt ich wünsch mir, daß sie schon heut' Abend von dem Himmel auf meine Lippen fällt
Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen die Träne macht uns beiden klar wir brauchen keinen Rat kluger Leute daß wir uns lieben ist ganz offenbar
Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen sie geht auf die Reise zu mir der Wind bringt sie mir mit den Wolken und ich weiß, sie kommt nur von dir und ich weiß, sie kommt nur von dir und ich weiß, sie kommt nur von dir

Hoe kon je weten dat het leven zo kon zijn Je houdt van heel de wereld en toch doen ze je pijn Laat je niet zomaar doen en pak de telefoon Kom in actie - bel een taxi Je weet toch waar ik woon
Altijd Tijd Voor Jou (Die kan ik voor je stil doen staan) Altijd Tijd Voor Jou (dat krijg ik zo voor je gedaan) Altijd Tijd Voor Jou Omdat ik zomaar van je hou
Je blijft in bed terwijl je op moet voor half acht Voor de bus - de metro - de trein die op je wacht Je hebt geen zin meer in je snel ontbijt Want alles wat voor jou nu telt Is de pijn die je verbijt
Altijd Tijd Voor Jou (Die kan ik voor je stil doen staan) Altijd Tijd Voor Jou (dat krijg ik zo voor je gedaan) Altijd Tijd Voor Jou Omdat ik zomaar van je hou
Niemand hoeft mij te kennen Er valt niets te bekennen Je bent de enige die weet dat ik er voor je ben Iemand geheim voor jou Om er te zijn voor jou Die je nooit vergeten zou Zelfs mijlenver ben ik dicht bij jou - yeah
Laat je niet zomaar doen en pak de telefoon Kom in actie - bel een taxi En vlieg naar waar ik woon
Cabe mucho dolor en cualquier hombre Mucho más que el que piensa mucha gente Que no somos ni el vidrio que se rompe Ni la flor que se troncha de repente Cabe mucho dolor en cualquier hombre Que de arcilla y de barro estamos hechos No se puede morir en un momento Ni siquiera de amor aunque sea enorme Que es difícil morir de amor Es más fácil vivir sufriendo Como vivo sufriendo yo Que es igual que vivir muriendo

Errol Flynn Composer(s): Gordon Hunt - Amanda McBroom
Performer(s): Amanda McBroom
and multiple other artists
In a hall, on a wall, in a house in Rosita A poster's held up by two nails and a pin It's her Daddy, the actor, 'bout to die with his boots on He's the man standing up there, beside Errol Flynn
He got third or fourth billing at the end of each picture "And that don't mean much", he would say with a grin But he'd hold her hand tight as he pointed his name out Only four or five names down below Errol Flynn
Fame, it is fleeting and stars, they keep falling And staying right up there, that's the business of art And luck kisses some and she passes by others Disappointment and bourbon are hard on the heart
Oh, the women and beers, and the years with old Errol They took their toll, they took her from his side And he kissed her goodbye at the old Union Station It's the last time she saw him, the last time she cried
Now she's sitting alone in that house in Rosita Watchin' the Late Show as the moonlight shines in And up on the screen, yippee, here comes her Daddy It's a sad, funny feeling, now she's older than him
Oh, you daddies and daughters, you sons and your mothers Remember life's over before it begins Love one another and stand close together As close as her Dad stood to old Errol Flynn
Fame, it is fleeting, and stars, they keep falling And staying right up there, that's the business of art And luck kisses some and she passes by others Disappointment and bourbon are hard on the heart
Oh, you daddies and daughters, you sons and your mothers Life seems to be over before it begins Love one another and stand close together As close as her Dad stood to old Errol Flynn
I'll Be The One Composer(s): Boz Scaggs Performer(s): Boz Scaggs; Jim Conroy
Tired of seeing some play thing acting like a toy Tired of watching some fool trying to be your boy And I don't like being the one seeing you in tears Standing in the shadows staring out at love again
But I'll be the one
I'm the one reminding you that you've got a choice I'm the one to let you know that I hear your voice Time and again I catch you smiling from within But standing empty hearted standing in the wings again
I'll be the one
Now I can't be the one to catch you everytime you fall I ain't the one to answer everytime you call But maybe I'm gonna to be the one One to see you through it all
Errol Composer(s): Glen McDonough - James Reyne

Convict state It just don't rate He want to get higher Apple Isle, the inbred smile He's going to get by'a His mother's hand He could not stand He left for the islands To fish and hunt He take a punt The New Guinea Highlands
Ohhh Errol I would give everything just to be like him
He had to go The Sirocco He's sailin the high seas Hollywood, Captain Blood He's billing the Nazi's Took a rebel stand Contraband Coast of Mexico He want to pounce Like an animal To girls he just can't say no
Ohhh Errol I would give everything just to be like him
He had them all Screamin for more He play the wild scene Ah scandalise, no compromise He's down on his knees Swashbuckling He was the King The toast of Tinseltown They build him up They took it all And then they just cut him down
Ohhh Errol I would give everything just to be like him

I'll Be Satisfied Composer(s): Berry Gordy; Tyran Carlo; Gwendolyn Gordy First release by: Jackie Wilson - 1959
Just a kiss, just a smile Hold my hand, baby Just once in a while That's all need, that's all I need And I'll be satisfied!
Think of me when you're away Call me darling Just once a day That's all need, that's all I need And I'll be satisfied!
True love came to me when I met you True love makes me know I won't forget you When you're around me, it makes me feel Life is worth living, baby, love is so forgiving!
You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground And the clatter of the wheels as they spun 'round and 'round And he galloped into market street, his badge upon his chest His name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west
Now Ernie loved a widow, a lady known as Sue She lived all alone in Liddley Lane at number 22 They said she was too good for him, she was haughty, proud and chic But Ernie got his cocoa there three times every week
They called him Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west
She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart" And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up his cart He said, "D'you want it pasturize? 'Cause pasturize is best" She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest"
That tickled old Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west
Now Ernie had a rival, an evil-looking man Called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington and he drove the baker's van He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head
She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said, "If you treat me right You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night" He knew once she sampled his layer cake he'd have his wicked way And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day
Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west
One lunch time Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four And as he lept down from his van hot blood through his veins did course And he went across to Ernie's cart and didn't half kick his 'orse
Whose name was Trigger, (Triggerrrrrrrr) And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west
Now Ernie rushed out into the street, his gold top in his hand He said, "If you wanna marry Susie you'll fight for her like a man" "Oh why don't we play cards for her?" he sneeringly replied "And just to make it interesting we'll have a shilling on the side"
Now Ernie dragged him from his van and beneath the blazing sun They stood there face to face, and Ted went for his bun But Ernie was too quick, things didn't go the way Ted planned And a strawberry-flavoured yogurt sent it spinning from his hand
Now Susie ran between them and tried to keep them apart And Ernie, he pushed her aside and a rock cake caught him underneath his heart And he looked up in pained surprise and the concrete hardened crust Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust
Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west
Ernie was only 52, he didn't wanna die And now he's gone to make deliveries in that milk round in the sky Where the customers are angels and ferocious dogs are banned And the milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy, dairy land
But a woman's needs are many fold and soon she married Ted But strange things happened on their wedding night as they lay in their bed Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate? Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate?
They won't forget Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west
