Longhaired Redneck Composer(s): David Allan Coe - Jimmy Rabbit Performer(s): David Allan Coe
Country DJ's knows that I'm an outlaw They'd never come to see me in this dive Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughen' at the hippies Who are prayen' they'll get out of her alive
The loud mouth in the corners gett'en to me Talking about my earrings and my hair I guess he ain't read the sign that says I've been to prison Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair
'Cause my long hair just can't cover up my redneck I've won every fight I've ever faught And I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country Say'en I aint worth a damn old, ticket that he bought
'Cause I can sing all those songs about Texas And I still do all the sad one's that I know They tell me, I look like Merle Haggard And sound alot like David Allen Coe
And the barmaid in the last town that we played in Knew the words to every song I wrote She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album Just about the time the jukebox broke
Ya Jonny Cash helped me get out of prison Long before Rodriquez stole that goat I've been a Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I can't remember And I can do you every song Hank Williams ever wrote
And I can sing all those songs about Texas And I still do all the sad one's that I know I can't help it, I like Merle Haggard And sound alot like David Allen Coe
The loud mouth in the corners gett'en to me Talking about my earrings and my hair I guess he ain't read the sign that says I've been to prison Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair
Christmas Eve
Composer(s): Richard Starkey - Mark Hudson
Performer(s): Ringo Starr
It's Christmas and you're not here The snow is falling down, like my tears I see your presents by the tree I can't believe you're not with me On Christmas, Christmas Eve
It's Christmas with stars above, How many times has it been said, a time for love And underneath the mistletoe I'm standing here all alone On Christmas, Christmas Eve
I hear your voice, I see your smile You were my Christmas song But now you're gone, now you're gone
It's Christmas, it seems so long The lights are all around the tree but not turned on I saw your footprints in the snow I'd never thought you'd really go On Christmas, Christmas Eve
Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool Performer(s): Jimmy Osmond; Mike Curb Congregation
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool And I'll do anything you say I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April fool If you'll be my sunshine daisy from LA I'll be your leprechaun and sit upon an old toadstool I'll serenade you till I'm old and grey I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool You'll be my sunshine daisy from LA
You'll be my lovely daisy on a mountainside There are lots of other flowers too But all the other flowers hung their heads and cried Because the loveliest of all them was you But you were evidently the exception to the rule I picked you quickly then I ran away 'Cos I'm your long-haired lover from Liverpool You are my sunshine daisy from LA
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool And I'll do anything you ask I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April fool Cut my hair, I'll even wear a mask I'll be your Valentineand you'll be mine and things will be cool We'll move along together every day I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool You'll be my sunshine daisy from LA You'll be my sunshine daisy from LA
Seule Avec Moi Composer(s): Jean-Pierre Festi; Charles Level; Yvan Quazana Performer(s): Dalida
Il est huit heures à peine et la maison s'éveille Une radio chante chez le voisin Je beurre des tartines debout dans la cuisine Car tu as toujours faim dès le matin Puis chacun se dépêché sur ta joue toute fraîche Je te caresse en disant à ce soir Et tu t'en vas très vite et derrière ma vitre Moi je te fais un signe d'au revoir
Tu es parti et je reste là Je reste seule, seule avec moi Toute ma vie je la passe là Je reste seule, toute seule chez moi
J'ai ce que je désire le meilleur et le pire La vie dorée et l'envie de partir On dit que j'ai de la chance mais je pleure en silence Sur mon grand lit et sur mon avenir Derrière mes grimaces on ne voit pas la trace De ces envies qui déchirent le cur Pour le monsieur d'en face le jeune homme qui passe Pour un instant d'amour, pour un quart d'heure
Tu es parti et je reste là Je reste seule, seule avec moi Toute ma vie je la passe là Je reste seule toute seule chez moi
Voilà ma vie en rose faire toujours la même chose En suivant le chemin qu'on m'a tracé Comme toutes les femmes j'ai le même programme Et "Aujourd'hui Madame" à la télé Personne ne suppose que je pense à des choses Que j'ai parfois envie de voyager C'est fini l'aventure malgré moi je suis sûre Que rien, jamais ne pourra m'arriver
Tu es parti et je reste là Me voilà seule, seule avec moi Toute ma vie je la passe là Est-ce que vraiment le bonheur c'est ça
Longfellow Serenade Composer(s): Neil Diamond First release by: Neil Diamond - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
Longfellow Serenade Such were the plans I'd made For she was a lady And I was a dreamer With only words to trade You know that I was born for a night like this Warmed by a stolen kiss For I was lonely And she was lonely
Ride, come on baby, ride Let me make your dreams come true I'll sing my song Let me make it warm for you
I'll weave his web of rhyme Upon the summer night We'll leave this worldly time On his winged flight
Then come, and as we lay Beside this sleepy glade There I will sing to you My Longfellow serenade
Longfellow serenade Such were the plans I made But she was a lady As deep as a river And through the night, we stayed
And in my way, I loved her as none before Loved her with words and more For she was lonely And I was lonely
Ride, come on baby, ride Let me make your dreams come true I'll sing my song Let me sing my song Let me make it warm for you
I'll weave this web of rhyme Upon the summer night We'll leave this worldly time On his winged flight
Then come, and as we lay Beside this sleepy glade There I will sing to you My Longfellow serenade
Seule Au Monde Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Seule au monde Brune ou blonde Un jour, l'amour S'est enfui Dans la grande surface De la vie... Où tu n'iras pas C'est promis Faire ton marché Un lundi... Seule au monde Brune ou blonde Avec ton amour évanoui Tu traînes au bord de ton lit Où tu ne rêves plus C'est fini... De rire toute la vie Avec lui Ouh, ouh, ouh Seule au monde Brune ou blonde Comme un dieu Qui traînerait sur terre Sans église Et sans ministère Un jour, l'amour Est parti Tu as cru que la vie C'était fini... Sur les trottoirs Où tu survis Je marche vers toi Dans la nuit... Je marche vers toi Dans la nuit...
Longer ((Dutch Version: Als Je Slaapt (by Rob de Nijs) - 1983)) Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg First release by: Dan Fogelberg - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral Truer than any tree ever grew Deeper than any forest primeval I am in love with you
I'll bring fires in the winters You'll send showers in the springs We'll fly through the falls and summers With love on our wings
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow Burning lines in the book of our lives Though the binding cracks And the pages start to yellow I'll be in love with you I'll be in love with you
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you I am in love with you I am in love with you
Seul Sur Son Étoile (English Version: It Must Be Him - 1967) Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Gilbert Bécaud First release by: Gilbert Bécaud - 1966
Quand on est seul sur son étoile Et qu'on regarde passer les trains Quand on trinque avec des minables Qu'on dort avec des "moins que rien" Quand on ré-écrit à sa mère Et qu'on pense aux économies Quand on invente des prières Pour des Bon Dieu de comédie
C'est qu'on a besoin De quelqu'un, de quelque chose Ou d'un ailleurs Que l'on n'a pas, que l'on n'a pas C'est qu'on a besoin De quelqu'un, ou d'un amour Ou bien d'un copain Que l'on attend depuis longtemps
Quand on est seul sur son étoile On ne voit pas le temps courir On est au chaud et l'on s'installe Comme un cheval qui va mourir Quand on raconte son enfance A des gens qui n'écoutent pas Quand tu te fais beau, c'est dimanche Et qu'après tout tu ne sors pas
C'est que tu as besoin De quelqu'un, de quelque chose D'un quelque part Que tu n'as pas, que tu n'as pas C'est que tu as besoin De quelqu'un, ou d'un amour Ou bien d'un copain Que tu attends depuis longtemps
Quand on est seul sur son étoile Y a des fois des coups du Bon Dieu Et l'on est deux sur son étoile C'est idiot, mais on est heureux
On n'a plus besoin de quelqu'un De quelque chose, ou d'un ailleurs On s'en fout bien! On s'en fout bien!
Als Je Slaapt ((Adapted from: Longer (by Dan Fogelberg) - 1979)) Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg - Belinda Meuldijk Performer(s): Rob de Nijs - 1983
Als je slaapt kan ik uren naar je kijken Ik heb jou dan zo ademloos lief Zo ver weg dat geen mens je kan bereiken Droom van mij alsjeblieft
Nu zie ik met het maanlicht op ons beiden Schaduw daar waar de eenzaamheid wacht Woorden die 'k overdag niet goed kan vinden Fluister ik elke nacht
Jouw hand even op de mijne Mijn stem als jij het niet meer weet Wij zijn vriendjes voor het leven En daarna
Maar voor nu wil ik nachtwacht over jou zijn Voel ik zelfs iets voor eeuwige trouw Elke dag, elke toekomst, ieder einde Droom maar, ik hou van jou
Als je slaapt kan ik uren naar je kijken Ik heb jou dan zo mateloos lief Zo dichtbij, maar geen mens kan je bereiken Droom alsjeblieft van mij Droom alsjeblieft van mij

Long, Long Way To Go Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
While I sit here trying to think of things to say Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere So it would seem we've still got a long, long way to go I've seen all I want to see today While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere And it would seem that we've got a long, long way to go But I can't take it anymore Turn it off if you want to Switch it off it will go away Turn it off if you want to Switch it off or look away While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere So it would seem we've still got a long, long way to go, I know I've heard all I want to hear today Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to) Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away) Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to) Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away) Switch it off Turn it off
Been another blue day without you girl Been another sad summer song I've been thinking about you girl All night long
Been another sad tear on my pillow Been another memory to tell me you're the one girl I've been thinking about you girl All night long
Sad sweet dreamer It's just one of those things you put down to experience Sad sweet dreamer It's just one of those things you put down to experience
(Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh) Been another long night and I've missed you girl (Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh) Been another story from those endless magazines (Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh) Can't help thinking about you girl All night long
Sad sweet dreamer It's just one of those things you put down to experience Sad sweet dreamer It's just one of those things you put down to experience
Was so happy when I found you But how was I to know? That you would leave me walking down that road.....
Been another hard luck story Been another man who thought that he was oh so strong I've been thinking about you girl All night long

Long Way To Hollywood Composer(s): Steve Young Performer(s): Steve Young; Hank Williams
Babe, I hate to leave you down here In this one horse town Where the trains run through your early dreams Just to leave an old wailing sound ...
Oh but I'll come back I will return Honey, won't you wait for me? I'm bound to travel the USA Across the desert to the sea
('Cause) I've got another song about the south It's white and it's black There ain't no banjo on my knee But that song's on my back
It's a long long way to Hollywood And a short change for fame All them slicks talk about downhome But I know that's a southern game
It's a long long way to Hollywood And a short change for fame All them slicks talk about downhome But I know that's a southern game
I've got another song for all the old people Down in the Georgia night I know their wings are heavy They been on a lonesome flight
All the old depression people I know they took a heavy load All their children, my kinfolk's and cousins Still walking on Tobacco Road
Well they still talk about Hank Williams Clinging unto his fame Hey, I'm of the same race, I'm from the same place I got the same lonesome blood in my veins
It's a long long way to Hollywood And a short change for fame All them slicks talk about downhome But I know that's a southern game ...
(I've Lost You) So Why Should I Care Composer(s): Richard Howard Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
The beautiful story is ended Our wonderful romance is through And I might have known it was only a dream For it all seemed too good to be true For the wrongs that we do we must suffer And that's just the reason we met You came that I might make atonement Through you I must pay ev'ry debt
We bring nothing in the world with us We can take nothing out when we go So why should we care if we live or we die When our gladness is turned into woe I'll be glad when my sad life is over When they lay me away to my rest For while I must live broken hearted The worst can be only the best
Oh why should I care what becomes of me now I had nothing to live for but you Oh why should I care if I fall by the way When I know that no longer you're true My sorrow is sending me down to my grave 'T is greater than I can bear If they bar me away, from heaven some day I've lost you so why should I care
Long Way Back To Love Composer(s): Ben Peters Performer(s): Roy Drusky
Once I tried to tell you that some day his love would end You just said it's none of mine concern Now that it's all over you reach out for me again Back across the bridges we have burned
But it's a long way back to love Even though we're just a step apart It's a long way back to love All the way back through a broken heart
I didn't think that I could take it when you walked away But somehow I made it all alone Since you've left I've spent the most of ev'ry night and day Gettin' used to knowin' you were gone
And it's a long way back to love Even though we're just a step apart It's a long way back to love All the way back through a broken heart
It's a long way back to love Even though we're just a step ...
I've Lost My Mummy Composer(s): Rolf Harris Performer(s): Rolf Harris
Just like the inside of any big shop people were everywhere Suddenly business was brought to a stop when a terrible yell hit the air...
I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've lost my mummy I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've lost my mummy! ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub
People all gathered to look at the lad patted him on the head (Woman) Where was your mummy, when you saw her last? Turning to her the boy said...
I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've lost my mummy I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've lost my mummy! ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub
Down came the manager to fix up the mess took the small boy aside (Manager) Come on now lad, let's have your name and address With a lungful of air he replied...
I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've lost my mummy I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've lost my mummy! ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub
Well just then his mother appeared on the spot gave him a hefty whack (Mother) That oughta teach you to go and get lost! and the little boy's voice floated back...
I've found my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've found my mummy I've found my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've found my mummy! No mummy, I don't wanna go, no mummy I don't wanna, no mummy!
Long Train Runnin' Composer(s): Tom Johnston First release by: The Doobie Brothers - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
Down around the corner a half a mile from here you see them old trains runnin' and you watch them disappear
Without love, where would you be now, without love?
You know I saw Miss Lucy down along the tracks she lost her home and her family and she won't be comin' back
Without love, where would you be now, without love?
Well, the Illinois Central and the Southern Central Freight gotta keep on pushin', Mama `cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love, where would you be now, without love?
Well, the Illinois Central and the Southern Central Freight gotta keep on pushin', Mama `cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love, where would you be now, without love?
Where pistons keep on churnin' and the wheels go `round and `round and the steal rails are cold and hard for the miles that they go down
Without love, where would ya be right now without love, where would you be now?
Got to get it, baby, baby, won't you move it down? Won't you move it down? Baby, baby, baby, baby, won't you move it down? When the big train run And the train is movin' on I got to keep on movin' Keep on movin' Keep on movin' Gonna keep on movin'
I've Lived, I've Loved, I'm Satisfied (What More Is There To Say?)
I've Lived, I've Loved, I'm Satisfied (What More Is There To Say?) Composer(s): Lew Brown; Ben Barnett; Albert Von Tilzer
I found that life is worth living That hope is rewarded some day I thought I'd never find happiness But at last it has come my way
Some people long for great riches For glory, some others will try Heaven has blessed me with something that All the gold in the world can't buy
I longed for a wonderful sweetheart 'T was then dear that I met you I dreamed of a cottage with roses My dream of that cottage came true I prayed for the love of a baby And my prayers were answered one day I've lived, I've loved, I'm satisfied What more is there to say
