Even Cowgirls Get The Blues Composer(s): Rodney Crowell Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; and various other artists
She's a rounder I can tell you that She can sing 'em all night, too She'll raise hell about the sleep she lost But even cowgirls get the blues
Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind And need their laid on 'em loose She's lived to see the world turned upside down Hitchin' rides out of the blues
But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes Bound to don't know what to do sometimes Get this feelin' like she's too far gone The only way she's ever been
Lonely nights are out there on the road Motel ceiling stares you down There must be safer ways to pay your dues But even cowgirls get the blues
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime Bound to don't know what to do sometimes Get this feelin' like she's too far gone The only way she's ever been
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime Bound to don't know what to do sometimes Get this feelin' like the restless wind The only way she's ever been
Even Cowboys Like A Little Rock & Roll Composer(s): Chris LeDoux Performer(s): Chris LeDoux
Well now cowboys love the ladies They like beans and sourdough Good horses and hot black coffee And campfires burnin' low You know we love that cowboy music But I'll bet you didn't know That even cowboys like just a little Rock & roll
Chorus Even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll Yeah we all got some boogie woogie in our soul There's a little bit of Buddy Holly (Chuck Berry) (Charlie Daniels) In every cowboy that I know And even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll
Now when your camped out on the prairie And that ole moon is shinin' bright You can hear those cattle bawlin' soft 'n low There's nothin' like a cowboy's song to make it all feel just right But even cowboys like a little bit rock & roll
Chorus
Now those old buckaroos are set in their ways And they'll even tell you so Say they don't like nothin' but them old time cowboy songs Yeah but I've seen the green grass growin' Underneath that winter snow I'll bet them old cowboys even like a little rock & roll
Chorus
Yeah there's a little long hair In every single cowboy that I know And even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll
I'm Getting So Now I Don't Care Composer(s): Richard Howard; Bartley Costello; Dave Ringle
Oh how I cried when you told me goodbye Clouds hid the sun in the sky And oh, how I pleaded and begged you to stay But my heart is diff'rent to day
You didn't care tho' you made me believe That you could never deceive Perhaps you are sorry and want me again But now you would call me in vain
I'm getting so now I don't worry I'm getting so now I don't care When my heart was aching I tried to be game And let everybody think I was to blame I loved you so much when I lost you I thought I would die of despai But old dreams fade away And I thank God to day I'm getting so now I don't care
I know the place is just a mess I guess I kinda let things slide 'Cause you were gone I didn't care I only know I hurt inside
And now you ask if I still care for you Even after, even after, you went off with someone new...
(chorus) Even after (even after) I still want you like before I forgive you, even after You found new arms to explore Starting needing, hoping, praying you would walk back through that door Even after, even after And maybe even more
A million questions in my mind With answers I don't wanna find I only know you're here again And life can be what life was then
Can't run away 'cause there's no place to hide I am helpless, 'cause my love for you goes deeper than my pride
I'm Getting Sentimental Over You Composer(s): George Bassman; Ned Washington First release by: The Dorsey Brothers Orch. - 1932 Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, I never thought I'd fall But now I hear the call I'm getting sentimental over you All the thoughtful little things you say and do That thrill me through and through I'm getting sentimental over you I thought I was happy I could live without love Now I must admit that love is all I'm thinking off Baby, won't you please be kind And just make up your mind That you'll be sweet and gentle Be gentle with me Because I'm sentimental over you
Evelyn Composer(s): Hugo Felix; Anne Caldwell Performer(s): Mizzi Hajos
Love I think is tommy rot girls are such a funny lot Only one my manly fancy seems to please But without the least excuse With me she can raise the deuce For the little villain is a fearful tease Always messing me about Till I want to shout
I could win a score of them Then I'd win some more of them But upon my soul, I think I'm too blase! Just this one girl seems to start Little twitters round my heart Doctor diagnosed the case as "love" today It is such a fearful bore I'll have to say once more
Oh, Evelyn, oh, Evelyn You'll have to quit your devilin'! You tease and antalize me so You've surely got me "on the go!" Oh Evelyn, Oh Evelyn Just mind what you're about If you are on the level in the game you seem to revel in Oh Evelyn quit your devilin' Just cut it out
I'm Getting Better Composer(s): Jim Reeves Performer(s): Jim Reeves
I walked by the river Where we said good-bye Thought of your kisses And didn't even cry I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better
I talked with an old friend he asked about you I managed to tell him With just a tear or two I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better
I know I'll never be the same I was standin' too close to the flame But it doesn't hurt so much To hear your name I think I'll make it -- I'm gettin' better
Eve Wasn't Modest Till She Ate That Apple (We'll Have To Pass The Apples Again) Composer(s): Chas. McCarron; Albert Von Tilzer
Everybody loves a girl who's modest Everybody loves a girl who's shy When a girl is modest and retiring You can bet she'll always get by Modesty began in the garden of Eden In every book you'll find I'll admit it started in the Garden of Eden But just bear this in mind
Just suppose that every girl was modest Just suppose that every girl was shy There would be no dust when days are windy To blow right in the naughty man's eye We'd have better business in our marriage market Each man would surely mate When they start proposing they can see what they're getting That's why some hesitate
Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple That old apple to blame The minute that she ate it she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came If one little apple made the first girl modest It ought to work now as well as then Once they only wore a leaf Clothes are getting just as brief If every mother's daughter, wears dresses any shorter We'll have to pass the apples again
Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple That old apple to blame The minute that she ate it she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came If one little apple made the first girl modest It ought to work now as well as then Way back in the olden days Men were fooled by girlie ways For then we never knew them but now we see right through them We'll have to pass the apples again
I'm From Outer Space Composer(s): Shel Silverstein; Even Stevens Performer(s): Even Stevens
Well, I know this may surprise you, for you've known me for so long But I've tricked you with my music, and I've fooled you with my song But my mission here is over, and I've watched the Human Race And now the truth can be revealed, I'm from Outer Space
And my given name is Gilpage, and I'm really 2 foot 8 And when you think you've shook my hand, you've really slapped my face And I'm the son of the seventh Zorb, from a distant dying race Sent to see if it was safe, for us from Outer Space
But I'm leaving in the mornin' on a Q-Electra-Blue I'll hang a right at Jupiter on the far side of the Moon And I'll stand before the Elders and they'll ask me of this place And if the Earth could be a home for folks from Outer Space
But I'll tell 'em how you love to fight and how you love to war And how you never seem to learn from mistakes you made before And I'll tell 'em how you treat the old and what you teach the young And how you've melted down your plows and turned them into guns
So it's been real fine to know you, but I'll soon be with my own And I guess we'll take our chances, and leave your world alone And perhaps we'll even meet again, in another time and place But this ain't a healthy atmosphere for folks from Outer Space
So I'm leaving in the mornin' on a Q-Electra-Blue And I'll hang a right at Jupiter on the far side of the Moon And I'll stand before the Elders and when they'll ask me of this place I'll tell 'em that there ain't no room for folks from Outer Space
Eve Of Destruction Composer(s): P.F. Sloan Performer(s): Barry McGuire
The eastern world, it is explodin Violence flarin, bullets loadin Youre old enough to kill, but not for votin You dont believe in war, but whats that gun youre totin And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin
But you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you dont believe Were on the eve of destruction
Dont you understand what Im tryin to say Cant you feel the fears Im feelin today? If the button is pushed, theres no runnin away Therell be no one to save, with the world in a grave Take a look around you boy Its bound to scare you boy
And you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you dont believe Were on the eve of destruction
Yeah, my bloods so mad feels like coagulatin Im sitting here just contemplatin You cant twist the truth, it knows no regulation. Handful of senators dont pass legislation And marches alone cant bring integration When human respect is disintegratin This whole crazy world is just too frustratin
And you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you dont believe Were on the eve of destruction
Think of all the hate there is in Red China Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama You may leave here for 4 days in space But when you return, its the same old place The poundin of the drum, the pride and disgrace You can bury your dead, but dont leave a trace Hate your next-door neighbor, but dont forget to say prayers
And tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend You dont believe Were on the eve Of destruction Mm, no no, you dont believe Were on the eve of destruction
I'm Free From The Chain Gang Now Composer(s): Lou Hersher; Saul Kelin Performer(s): Johnny Cash and multiple other artists
I got rid of the shackles that bound me and the guards that were always around me There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail But I'm free from the chain gang now Back home I was known and respected then one day I was wrongly suspected So they put me in chains in a cold freezin' rain but I'm free from the chain gang now
All the years I was known by a number how I kept my mind is a wonder And the bare prison cell that was one step from hell But I'm free from the chain gang now I prayed that the gossip will spare me when I return to the one I will marry Like a bird in a tree I got my liberty and I'm free from the chain gang now
I'm Free Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release: The Who - 1969
I'm free, I'm free And freedom tastes of reality I'm free, I'm free And I'm waiting for you to follow me
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high You'd laugh and say nothing's that simple But you've been told many times before Messiahs pointed to the door No one had the guts to leave the temple
I'm free, I'm free And freedom tastes of reality I'm free, I'm free And I'm waiting for you to follow me
Evangelina Composer(s): Hoyt Axton; Kenneth Higginbotham Performer(s): Hoyt Axton; and various other artists
And I dream in the morning That she brings me water And I dream in the evening That she brings me wine Just a poor man's daughter From Puerta Pinasco Evangelina in old Mexico
There's a great hot desert Down in Mexicali And if you don't have water Boy, you'd better not go Tequila won't get you Across that desert To Evangelina, in old Mexico
Chorus
And the fire I feel for the woman I love Is drivin' me insane Knowin' she's waitin' And I can't get there God only knows that I wracked my brain To try and find a way To reach that woman In old Mexico
And I met a kind man He guarded the border He said, "You don't need papers I'll let you go I can tell that you love her By the look in your eyes, now" She's the rose of the desert In old Mexico
Repeat Chorus
And I dream in the morning That she brings me water And I dream in the evening That she brings me wine Just a poor man's daughter From Puerta Pinasco South of the border In old Mexico Evangelina,I miss you so I miss you so
I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles Composer(s): John William Kellette; James Kendis; James Brockman; Nat Vincent Performer(s): June Caprice and multiple other artists
I'm dreaming dreams, I'm scheming schemes I'm building castles high They're born anew, their days are few Just like a sweet butterfly And as the daylight is dawning They come again in the morning
I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air They fly so high Nearly reach the sky Then like my dreams they fade and die Fortune's always hiding I've looked ev'rywhere I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air
When shadows creep, when I'm asleep To lands of hope I stray Then at daybreak, when I awake My bluebird flutters away Happiness, you seem so near me Happiness, come forth and cheer me
I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air They fly so high Nearly reach the sky Then like my dreams they fade and die Fortune's always hiding I've looked ev'rywhere I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air
Eva Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Eva no quiere ser para Adán la paridora pagada con pan Eva prefiere también parir pero después escoger donde ir Por eso adquiere un semental y le da uso sin dudas normal Eva cambio la señal
Eva sale a cazar en celo Eva sale a buscar semillas Eva sale y remonta vuelo Eva deja de ser costilla
Eva no intenta vestir de tul Eva no cree en un príncipe azul Eva no inventa falso papel el fruto es suyo con padre o sin él Eva se enfrenta al que dirán firme al timón como buen capitán y encoge hombros Adán
I'm Feeling You Composer(s): Michelle Branch; Kara DioGuardi; John Shanks Performer(s): Santana; The Wreckers
Sometimes, I imagine the world without you But most times, Im just so happy that I ever found you Its a complicated web, that you weave inside my head So much pleasure with such pain How we always, always stay the same
Im feelin the way you cross my mind And you save me in the nick of time Im ridin the highs, Im diggin the lows Cause at least I feel alive Ive never faced so many emotional days But my life is good Im feelin you Im feelin you
You go, and then I can finally breathe in Cause baby I know, in the end youre never leavin Well were rarely ever sane, I drive you crazy and you do the same But your fire fills my soul And it wounds me up like no one knows
'Cause Im feelin the way you cross my mind And you save me in the nick of time Im ridin the highs, Im diggin the lows Cause at least I feel alive Ive never faced so many emotional days But my life is good Im feelin you Im feelin you
Im feelin the way you cross my mind And you save me in the nick of time Im ridin the highs, Im diggin the lows Cause at least I feel alive Ive never faced so many emotional days Im feelin you Im feelin you Im feelin you Im feelin you
Oh Im feelin the way that you cross my mind And the way that you save me in the nick of time Oh Im feelin the way when you walk on by I feel light, I feel love, I feel butterflies
