    Oh, Shenandoah's my native valley

    Tender Feeling
    (Adapted from: Shenandoah - 1917)
    Composer(s): Bill Giant; Bernie Baum; Florence Kaye
    Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1963/1964



    I can't conceal the tender feeling
    Now that you are close to me
    I look at you with tender feeling
    And can't help kiss you tenderly

    I offer you a true devotion
    All life through my love I vow
    For this is real, this sweet emotion
    This tender feeling I have now

    Somehow I knew from the moment our lips first met
    Youd be the girl I could never forget
    No other love could be appealing
    I loved you right from the start
    And with each kiss I'll keep revealing
    The tender feeling in my heart

    In the shelter of your eyes
    I have finally learned the song
    It took so long to realize
    I just can't make it all alone

    Words are only what they say
    But this feeling isn't wrong
    I'm so glad I found my way
    It's good to be where I belong

    And I'm, gonna stay,
    right here 'cause I'm
    In rhythm with your mind
    Tune out the world
    and rest my head
    'Neath the shelter of your eyes

    Words are only what they say
    But this feeling isn't wrong
    I'm so glad I found my way
    It's good to be where I belong

    And I'm, gonna stay

    Tune out the world

    Sheep
    Composer(s): Roger Waters
    First release by: Pink Floyd - 1977



    Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
    Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
    You better watch out
    There may be dogs about
    I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
    Things are not what they seem

    What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
    Meek and obedient you follow the leader
    Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
    What a surprise!
    A look of terminal shock in your eyes
    Now things are really what they seem
    No, this is no bad dream

    The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
    He makes me down to lie
    Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
    With bright knives He releaseth my soul
    He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
    He converteth me to lamb cutlets
    For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
    When cometh the day we lowly ones
    Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
    Master the art of karate
    Lo, we shall rise up
    And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water

    Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream
    Wave upon wave of demented avengers
    March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream

    Have you heard the news?
    The dogs are dead!
    You better stay home
    And do as you're told
    Get out of the road if you want to grow old

    She'd Rather Be Homeless
    Composer(s): Anne Dailey; Shel Silverstein
    Performer(s): Old Dogs; Marley's Ghost



    It was our twenty-fifth anniversary
    And I was watching the Super Bowl
    When suddenly she started cursing me
    Hell, I almost dropped my remote control
    And she said "That's that!" and grabbed her hat
    And headed out into the snow
    And that was almost two long years ago....

    Now see her shuffling down the street
    Combat boots on her dainty feet
    Pushing her belongings in a cart from the A&P
    See her bumming cigarettes,
    On the sidewalk where she sits
    Lord, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

    She'd rather be sleeping in some doorway
    Than lolling in the lap of luxury
    And when the cold wind starts to blow
    Lord, it hurts me so to know
    She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

    She said all my friends were dumb
    And she called me "Yuppee scum!"
    She said she didn't give a damn 'bout my BMW or my AT&T
    She said to take these credit cards of mine,
    And stick'm where the sun don't shine
    Cause she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

    I see her sitting on her full length mink
    And as I walk by she winks
    Saying "Spare some change for a lady, a lady who's finally free"
    She don't want my bonds and stocks,
    Living in her cardboard box
    Oh, She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

    She'd rather eat soup down at the shelter
    Than at the Country Club sipping fine Chablis
    And as I throw her a dime
    Lord, it breaks this heart of mine to know
    She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

    Yes, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

    She Works Hard For The Money
    Composer(s): Donna Summer; Michael Omartian
    First release by: Donna Summer - 1983



    She works hard for the money
    So hard for it, honey
    She works hard for the money
    So you better treat her right

    Onetta here in the corner stand and wonders where she is
    And it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything
    9 am on the hour hand and she's waiting for the bell
    And she's looking real pretty
    She's waiting for her clientele

    She works hard for the money
    So hard for it, honey
    She works hard for the money
    So you better treat her right

    Twentyeight years have come and gone
    And she's seen a lot of tears of the ones who come in
    They really seem to need her there
    It's a sacrifice working day to day
    For little money just tips for pay
    But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care

    She works hard for the money
    So hard for it, honey
    She works hard for the money
    So you better treat her right

    She already knows she's seen her bad times
    She already knows these are the good times
    She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill
    She works haaaaard.........

    She works hard for the money
    So hard for it, honey
    She works hard for the money
    So you better treat her right

    She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
    Composer(s): M. Ottner; Leroy Parker; Traditional
    Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; Russ Morgan



    Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
    She wore it in the winter
    And the merry month of May
    When I asked her
    Why the yellow ribbon?
    She said
    It’s for my lover who is far far away

    Far away, far away, far away, far away
    She said
    It’s for my lover who is far far away
    Far away, far away, far away, far away
    She said
    It’s for my lover who is far far away

    When, at first, she met a winsome Johnny
    He wasn’t sure her heart was pure
    Her eyes were far too bold
    So, round her neck
    He tied a yellow ribbon
    He tied a yellow ribbon
    ‘Cause it matched her hair of gold

    Hair of gold, hair of gold
    He tied a yellow ribbon
    ‘Cause it matched her hair of gold
    Hair of gold, hair of gold
    He tied a yellow ribbon
    For her eyes were far too bold

    If, perchance, you spy a lovely maiden
    And by her side, there walks with pride
    A Johnny strong and gay
    And round her neck there is a yellow ribbon
    No matter how you love her
    Please stay far far away

    Far away, far away, far away, far away
    No matter how you love her
    Please stay far far away
    Far away, far away, far away, far away
    Her love is for another
    So stay far far away
    Far far away

    Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
    She wore it in the winter
    And the merry month of May
    When I asked her
    Why the yellow ribbon?
    She said

    Far away, far away, far away, far away
    She said
    It’s for my lover who is far far away
    Far away, far away, far away, far away
    She said
    It’s for my lover who is far far away

    Far far away
    For her lover who is far far away
    Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
    She wore it in the winter
    And the merry month of May
    When I asked her

    She Will Have Her Way
    Composer(s): Neil Finn
    Performer(s): Neil Finn



    I might be old but I'm someone new she said
    I'm so sore that I could cry always
    in the night lay your tired arms
    she will have her way
    somehow I will still believe her
    it's the life I've been frightened of she said
    deathly silence and especially the dark
    feels like I am heavy and my spirit has died
    she will have her way
    somehow I will still believe her
    she will have her way
    one day I will come back
    still no end in sight
    though I travel far and wide
    a dying man is doing time
    thinker, soldier terrified
    and she will have her way
    somehow I will still believe her
    she will have her way
    one day I will come back

    She Wears Red Feathers
    Composer(s): Bob Merrill
    Performer(s): Guy Mitchell



    (She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt)
    (She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt)
    She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
    A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
    And love in her heart for me

    I worked in a London bank
    Respectable position
    From nine to three they serve you tea
    But doom your disposition
    Each night at the music hall
    Travelogues I'd see
    And once a pearl of a native girl
    Kept smiling right at me

    She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
    She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
    She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
    A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
    And love in her heart for me

    Goodbye to the London bank
    I started in the sailin'
    The fourteenth day from Mandalay
    I spied her from the railin'
    She knew I was on my way
    Waited and was true
    She said you son of an Englishman
    I've dreamed each night of you

    She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
    She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
    She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
    A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
    And love in her heart for me

    I went to her ma and pa
    And said I loved her only
    And they both said we could be wed
    Oh what a ceremony
    An elephant brought her in
    Placed her by my side
    While six baboons got out bassoons
    And played here comes the bride

    I'm back here in London town
    And though it may sound silly
    She's here with me and you should see
    Us walk down Picadilly
    The boys at the London bank
    Kinda hold their breath
    She sits with me and sips her tea
    Which tickles them to death

    She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
    She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
    She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
    A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
    And love in her heart for me

    She Wears My Ring Composer(s): Felice Bryant; Boudleaux Bryant Performer(s): Jimmy Bell and multiple other artists



    She wears my ring to show the world that she belongs to me She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternally With loving care I placed it on her finger To show my love for all the world to see This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean She swears to wear it with eternal devotion That's why I sing, because she wears my ring She swears to wear it with eternal devotion That's why I sing, because she wears my ring This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean She swears to wear it with eternal devotion That's why I sing, because she wears my ring That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

    She Was Waitin' For Her Mother At The Station In Torino And You Know I Love You Baby But It's Getting Too Heavy To Laugh
    Performer(s): Shawn Phillips



    The glow
    Around your face
    When you see
    The lightning race
    I know
    I'm very near
    And I can hear
    The thunder

    A woman
    Of perplexity
    A woman
    For eternity
    A woman
    Of the land
    A woman
    For a man
    I'm down
    On my knees
    And I'm saying
    Please believe me

    It's hard
    To fall out
    Of love
    Completely
    It's harder
    To find a way
    To come back
    Discreetly
    To speak
    Of things anew
    To weep
    In quiet blue

    Brocade upon your bed
    Memories should fade
    At least of you
    A scepter
    Of ice and fire
    A specter
    Of my desire
    A girl-child
    Of such loveliness
    The woman
    Of my emptiness

    A woman
    Of famed
    Renown
    A woman
    Who kicks the clown
    A woman
    Of the land
    A woman
    For a man

    She Was Poor, But She Was Honest (aka It's The Same The Whole World Over)
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Billy Bennett



    She was poor, but she was honest
    Though she came from 'umble stock
    And an honest heart was beating
    Underneath her tattered frock

    'Eedless of 'er Mother's warning
    Up to London she 'ad gone
    Yearning for the bright lights gleaming
    'Eedless of temp-ta-shy-on

    But the rich man saw her beauty
    She knew not his base design
    And he took her to a hotel
    And bought her a small port wine

    Then the rich man took 'er ridin'
    Wrecker of poor women's souls
    But the Devil was the chauffeur
    As she rode in his Royce Rolls

    In the rich man's arms she fluttered
    Like a bird with a broken wing
    But he loved 'er and he left 'er
    Now she hasn't got no ring

    It's the same the whole world over
    It's the poor what gets the blame
    It's the rich what gets the pleasure
    Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?

    Time has flown, outcast and helpless
    In the street she stands and says
    While the snowflakes fall around 'er
    "Won't you buy my bootlaces?"

    See him riding in a carriage
    Past the gutter where she stands
    He has made a stylish marriage
    While she wrings her ringless hands

    See him there at the theatre
    In the front row with the best
    While the girl that he has ruined
    Entertains a sordid guest

    See 'er on the bridge at midnight
    She says "Farewell, blighted love"
    There's a scream, a splash......Good 'eavens!
    What is she a-doing of?

    So they dragged 'er from the river
    Water from 'er clothes they wrung
    They all thought that she was drownded
    But the corpse got up and sung

    It's the same the whole world over
    It's the poor what gets the blame
    It's the rich what gets the pleasure
    Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?

    She Was Only Seventeen (He Was One Year More)
    Composer(s): Marty Robbins
    Performer(s): Marty Robbins; Ray Conniff



    (Seventeen, and he was one year more)
    (Seventeen, and he the girl adored)
    (Seventeen)

    She was only seventeen and he was one year more (Seventeen)
    She loved him with all her heart, and he the girl adored
    But all their friends believed they were too young to know the score
    `Cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more (Seventeen)

    Are they old enough to know if love will last for life (Seventeen)
    Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife
    Well, in the past I bet it's happened more than once before
    When someone else was seventeen, another one year more

    Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong
    As long as God has no objections, there can be no wrong (Seventeen)

    Let us be the first to wish them all the very best (Seventeen)
    Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test
    'Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before
    When someone else was seventeen, another one year more

    (Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong)
    (As long as God has no objection, there can be no wrong)
    (Seventeen)

    Let us be the first to wish them all the very best (Seventeen)
    Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test
    'Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before
    When someone else was seventeen, another one year more (Seventeen)

    She Was Happy Till She Met You
    Composer(s): Charles Graham; Monroe H. Rosenfeld
    Performer(s): S.H. Dudley



    'Twas a bright and sunny day
    When a young wife went away from her husband
    Who had wrung her heart with pain
    On the table lay a note with the simple words she wrote
    "Good bye! I hope we'll never meet again"
    Unto her mother she returned
    The home for which she'd often yearned
    For every spark of love for him and fled
    There he sought her out at last with repentance for the past
    But her mother met him at the door and said

    "I have come to say goodbye," said the husband with a sigh
    "Just let me take her to my heart again"
    But the mother said: "Too late
    All her love has turned to hate
    So go your own way, your pleadings are in vain
    "She is my wife!" the husband cried
    "You shall not take her from my side
    The law forbids you part us we are wed!"
    "But you've broken every vow, she is yours no longer now
    My daughter shall not go!" the mother said

    She was happy till she met you
    And the fault is all your own
    If she wishes to forget you
    You will please let her alone
    She has come to her old mother
    Just because there is no other
    She'll be happy in her own sweet home

    She Was Born To Be My Unicorn
    Composer(s): Marc Bolan
    Performer(s): T. Rex



    She was born to be my Unicorn
    Robed head of ferns
    Cat child tutored by the learned

    Darkly ghostish host
    Haggard vizier of the moats
    Seeks the sandled shores of Gods
    Baby of the moors

    The night-mare's mauve mashed mind
    Sights the visions of the blinds
    Shoreside stream of steam
    Cooking kings in cream of scream

    Jackdaw winter head
    Cleans his chalcedony bed
    A silken word of kind
    Was returned from Nijinsky Hind

    Giant of Inca hill
    Loosed his boar to gorely kill
    The dancing one horned waife
    In doublet of puffin-bill

    The beast in feast of sound
    Kittened lamb on God's ground
    Ridden by the born of horn
    Jigged like a muse on life's lawn

    She Wandered Through The Garden Fence
    Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
    Performer(s): Procol Harum



    She wandered through the garden fence
    and said 'I've brought at great expense
    a potion guaranteed to bring
    relief from all your suffering'
    And though I said 'You don't exist'
    she grasped me firmly by the wrist
    and threw me down upon my back
    and strapped me to her torture rack
    And, without further argument
    I found my mind was also bent
    upon a course so devious
    it only made my torment worse

    She said, 'I see you cannot speak
    is it your voice that is too weak?
    Is it your tongue that is to blame?
    Maybe you cannot speak for shame
    Or has your brain been idle too
    and now it will not think for you?'
    I hastened to make my reply
    but found that I could only lie
    And like a fool I believed myself
    and thought I was somebody else
    But she could see what I was then
    and left me on my own again
