Shepherd Serenade Composer(s): Rob Goellner; Fred Spielman Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Ken Griffin; Eric Winstone
I heard a lonely shepherd play It was a haunting melody I heard the music clearly saying That he was happy as could be He played and he played The world was forgotten Like castles in air My every care began to fade If he would only play forever This little shepherd serenade
He played and he played The world was forgotten Like castles in air My every care began to fade If he would only play forever This little shepherd serenade This little shepherd serenade
Shepherd Of The Hills Composer(s): Horatio Nicholls; Edgar Leslie Performer(s): Jack Hylton
When day is breaking and birds are awaking I'm blue when the sun starts to beam Night-time a-stealing is much more appealing As I lay me down to dream I see my homeland where love is supreme....
Shepherd of the hills, I hear you calling Shepherd of the hills, when twilight falls I seem to picture the black sheep returning I miss the fold, and my sad heart is yearning For the daffodils and crimson clover By the rocks and rills I long to roam Back to the near ones and dear ones who love me Shepherd of the hills, I'm coming home
Over the highway as I'm wending my way I look toward the house in the lane There with her knitting I see someone sitting She looks through the window pane She knows her waiting has not been in vain....
Shepherd of the hills, I hear you calling Shepherd of the hills, when twilight falls I seem to picture the black sheep returning I miss the fold, and my sad heart is yearning For the daffodils and crimson clover By the rocks and rills I long to roam Back to the near ones and dear ones who love me Shepherd of the hills, I'm coming home

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

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

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 Its for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away
When, at first, she met a winsome Johnny He wasnt 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

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 to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternally

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

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