Brand New Shoes
Composer(s): Lester Blackwell
Performer(s): Bill Monroe



I'm breaking in a brand new pair of shoes
Don't look at me like you think I've got the blues
'Cause I'm walkin' 'round and 'round
And I'm seeing most of the town
I'm just breakin' in a brand new pair of shoes

I'm doggone if I'm gonna cry the blues
My feet are sore but I've got no time to lose
'Cause I'm wantin' her here with me
And I'm needin' her company
I'm just breakin' in a brand new pair of shoes

Ah-ha, so I'm talkin' to myself
Oh! no, she's not puttin' me on the shelf
I'm just breakin' in a brand new pair of shoes

I'm doggone if I'm gonna cry the blues
My feet are sore but I've got no time to lose
'Cause I'm wantin' her here with me
And I'm needin' her company
I'm just breakin' in a brand new pair of shoe

Quand elle était p'tite
Le soir elle allait
A Saint'-Marguerite
Où qu'a s'dessalait
Maint'nant qu'elle est grande
Ell' marche le soir
Avec ceux d'la bande
Du Richard-Lenoir

{Refrain:}
A la Bastille
On aime bien
Nini-Peau-d'chien 
Elle est si bonne et si gentille !
On aime bien
Nini-Peau-d'chien
À la bastille

Elle a la peau douce
Aux taches de son
A l'odeur de rousse
Qui donne un frisson
Et de sa prunelle
Aux tons vert-de-gris
L'amour étincelle
Dans ses yeux d'souris

{Refrain}

Quand le soleil brille
Dans ses cheveux roux
L'génie d'la Bastille
Lui fait les yeux doux
Et quand à s'promène
Du bout d'l'Arsenal
Tout l'quartier s'amène
Au coin du Canal

{Refrain}

It All Comes Back To Me Now

Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey & Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



Tommy: 
Frank, are you kicking your two heels for this Valentine B-2?

Frank: Man, I'm too brought down by the weather to kick my heels about anything

Tommy: 
Thanks to a fare-thee-well by February 14, eh Frank? 
Well, I never saw a case of wintertime blues that a little singing wouldn't fix.
So give out with a chorus of "It All Comes Back To Me Now", and it'll all come back to you 
I guarantee it

Frank:
It all comes back to me now, a starry summer sky
A laughing you and I, alone
It all comes back to me now, a sea of midnight blue
Your face uplifted to my own
We called it a thrill of the moment, and blamed the moon up above
We didn't know what the glow meant, we never dreamed it might be love
It all comes back to me now, the love I threw away
And now each lonely night I pray, that it will all come back to me someday

Cansaso da vida
Cansaso de mim
Velhice chegando
E eu chegando ao fim
Vim pela noite tro longa
De fracasso em fracasso

It All Comes Back To Me Now
Composer(s): Harold Purcell; Harry Parr-Davies
Performer(s): Anne Shelton



It all comes back to me now
Unforgotten times and places
Like a call it all comes back to me now

When you were with me somehow
Unfamiliar streets and faces
Held a thrill which too comes back to me now

Love was a label we left on our luggage
The gay little pieces remain
But where are those castles in Spain
Were all of our journeys in vain

I know I give you my vow
Every mile my heart retraces
And the sweetness all comes back to me now

Love was a label we left on our luggage
The gay little pieces remain
But where are those castles in Spain
Were all of our journeys in vain

I know I give you my vow
Every mile my heart retraces
And the sweetness all comes back to me now

Performer(s): INXS



Oh so fine
We were trying
Out of nowhere
Just in time

Let you take me
Deep down the river
Kiss the changes
That shape my life

Always
Left behind
All the tracks that
I could find

All these scars are mine

I was thinking
Got the feeling
The gift you gave
Is gonna last forever

All the lies you find
All the truth you see
Rise and fall
But I know what's mine

Here we lie
Looking up to
Empty sky
And the promises we find

I'm not the first one
To ask why

All we ever try

Ninety Nine Years (Dead Or Alive)
Composer(s): Sid Wayne; John Benson Brooks
Performer(s): Guy Mitchell



(sound of hammer on steel
as in Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang" are heard throughout)

Now today I'm thinkin' 'bout the ninth of June
I found my friend and my baby at the Golden Spoon
He jumped off the stool and come at me with a knife
Said "We both can't have her, so fight for your life"

Ninety nine years in the penitentiary
Ninety nine years, baby, baby, wait for me
Ninety nine years, around twenty fifty five
We'll get together dead or alive

Now today I'm thinkin' 'bout that courtroom trial
I was so sad, baby, saw you weepin' like a child
Ah, the jury found me guilty, wouldn't listen to my plea
And the judge said "Mercy" threw the book at me

Ninety nine years in the penitentiary
Ninety nine years, baby, baby, wait for me
(Ninety nine years), around twenty fifty five
We'll get together dead or alive

Now today I'm thinkin' (today I'm a-thinkin')
'bout my old friend Turk ('bout my old friend Turk)
Must be laughin' with the angels (must be laughin' with the angels)
Loafin' while I work (loafin' while I work)
Ah, they beat me when I don't (ah, they beat me when I don't)
And they beat me when I do (and they beat me when I do)
Hey, but I can take it, baby, for you

Ninety nine years in the penitentiary
(Ninety nine years), baby, baby, wait for me
(Ninety nine years), around twenty fifty five
We'll get together dead or alive

Fade

(Ninety nine years)

The Gift
Composer(s): Stephanie Davis
Performer(s): Garth Brooks



A poor orphan girl named Maria
Was walking to market one day
She stopped for a rest by the roadside
Where a bird with a broken wing lay
A few moments passed till she saw it
For it's feathers were covered with sand
But soon clean and wrapped it was travelling
In the warmth of Maria's small hand

She happily spent her last peso
On a cage made of rushes and twine
She fed it loose corn from the market
And watched it grow stronger with time

Now the Christmas Eve service was coming
And the church shone with tinsel and light
And all of the townfolks brought presents
To lay by the manger that night
There were diamonds and incense and perfumes
In packages fit for a king
But for one ragged bird in a small cage
Maria had nothing to bring

She waited till just before midnight
So no one would see her go in
And crying she knelt by the manger
For her gift was unworthy of Him

Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness
"Maria, what brings you to me
If the bird in the cage is your offering
Open the door and let me see"
Though she trembled, she did as He asked her
And out of the cage the bird flew
Soaring up into the rafters
On a wing that had healed good as new

Just then the midnight bells rang out
And the little bird started to sing
A song that no words could recapture
Whose beauty was fit for a king

Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
To that cascade of notes sweet and long
As her offering was lifted to heaven
By the very first nightingale's song

Nine Pound Hammer (aka Roll On Buddy)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Hill Billies
and multiple other artists



This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
For my size
Buddy, for my size

I'm going on the mountain
Just to see my baby
And I ain't coming back
No, I ain't coming back

Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I pull
When the wheels don't roll

There ain't one hammer
Down in this tunnel
That can ring like mine
That can ring like mine

This old hammer
It killed John Henry
Ain't gonna kill me
Ain't gonna kill me

Rings like silver
Shines like gold
Rings like silver
Shines like gold

Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I pull
When the wheels don't roll

It's a long way to Harlan
It's a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew

And when I'm long gone
You can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal

Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I pull
When the wheels won't roll

Go 'way from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you an' more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Go melt back into the night, babe
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call
A lover for your life an' nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Well well well
I feel just like I'm fallin' in love
There's a new cool
Some kind of verbooty
That fits me like a velvet glove

And it's cool
Ooh babu dooby
She's talkin'to me Juba to Jive
Yeah, the girl's in love
No doubt about it
The moment of truth has arrived

And in a wink
The funk was all around me
And I think
I'm dead in love again

Nine Lives - Feelin'lucky
Nine Lives - Live again
Nine Lives - It ain't over
Nine Lives - Live for ten

I got good luck
In certain situations
I'm feelin' like I hung the moon
And then at times
I'm so weak from lovin'
I couldn't even carry a tune

But now I'm back
Oh yes I am
I maybe fall apart at the seams
I had a nightmare
Believe me when I tell you
Nobody ever dies in their dreams

I think, I need a stay of execution
In a wink, I'm dead in love again

Nine Lives - Puss & booty
Nine Lives - Live again
Nine Lives - It ain't over
Nine Lives - Live for ten

Well well well
Engine room to bombardier
Is this a dream
I died and went to Heaven
She's enough to make you
Cry in your beer

How can a good thing
7 come 11
Slip into a fare thee well
And how can one man's
Little bit o' Heaven
Turn into another man's Hell

I think I need a stay of execution
In a wink, I'm dead in love again

Nine Lives - Hello lucky
Nine Lives - Live again
Nine Lives - It ain't over
Nine Lives - Live for ten

Nine Lives - Takin' over

Referme la porte, éloigne-toi de moi
Que le vent te porte vers un meilleur que moi
Tu croyais trouver sous ce toit
Un amour tranquille et fort
Qui te console quand il fait froid
Te protège des mauvais sorts

Tu t'es trompée je ne suis pas de l'or
Ce n'était pas moi
Non, non, non, ce n'était pas moi
Celui qu'il te fallait crois moi

Referme la porte aux illusions perdues
Des garçons de ma sorte, il y en a plein les rues
Tu croyais trouver sous ce toit
Un garçon fidèle et bon
Qui ne te quitte pas d'un pas
Et protège ta maison

Tu t'es trompée je suis un vagabond
Ce n'était pas moi
Non, non, non, ce n'était pas moi
Celui qu'il te fallait crois moi

Niña No Juegues Con Candela
Composer(s): Willy Chirino
Performer(s): Willy Chirino



Niña, no juegues con candela
Porque te quemas
Echa pa'llá y olvida eso
Guarda bien la distancia
Yo no quiero problemas
Mira que yo soy de carne y hueso también
Tienes en la mirada algo que te delata
Yo puedo ver tus intenciones
Eres joven y bella y esas cosas me matan
Quita la vista de mis pantalones

Coro:
Échate pa'llá, pa'llá
Que yo no quiero
No me mires más, no más
Mira que no soy de acero
Déjate de esa ilusión
Que pierdo la razón
Échate pa'llá, pa'llá
Que se hizo tarde
Y mi corazón, nena
Está que arde
Esto solamente queda entre los dos
Hay que decir adiós

Niña, no juegues con candela
Porque te quemas
Contrólate tus emociones
No muevas la cintura
Porque eso es un dilema
Y se están agotando las opciones

Coro 2:
Pa'llá, pa'llá
Échate pa'llá que no quiero

Coro 3:
Niña no juegues con candela
Porque te quemas, porque te vas a quemar
