She's Everybody's Baby But Mine
Composer(s): Steven Fromholz
Performer(s): Steven Fromholz



She's everybody's baby but mine
Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time
If you ask me why I am cryin'
She's everybody's baby but mine

I recall the day she left
Saw her off all by myself
By myself I watched her fly away
Now she runs with the retinues
Of gay young men and ingenues
I read about her in the Dallas Morning News today

She's everybody's baby but mine
Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time
If you ask me why I am cryin'
She's everybody's baby but mine

She can sing like a mockingbird
Sweetest songs you ever heard
Waitin' on her every word were we
Now she sings on the concert stage
From coast to coast, she's the latest rage
Never seemed to find the time for me

She's everybody's eaby but mine
Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time
If you ask me why I am cryin'
She's everybody's baby but mine

Now and then she'll come back home
Usually when she's feelin' lonely
Calls me on the phone to hold her hand
We go walkin' on a summer's evening
Try to talk, she ends up leaving
For Hollywood - back to her promised land

She's everybody's baby but mine
Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time
If you ask me why I am cryin'
She's everybody's baby
She's everybody's baby
She's everybody's baby but mine
Everybody's baby but mine

She's Dixie All The Time
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Harry Tierney



Wedding bells are ringing gay "Way down Alabama way 
For a new married couple leaving Dixie, they say
Then a grey hair'd mammy smil'd 
As she said "God bless you child" 
That girl's grieving 'cause she's leaving
She can't stay away

What's the matter tell me, Joe
Don't you like the ice and snow" 
Said the clerk at the Astor as they pack'd up to go
Then the gay young bridegroom sigh'd 
As he pointed to the bride
"She's the reason, not the season
She can't be denied

She was born in old Kentucky
She was raised in Tennessee
Went to school in Alabama 
Where she learn'd her ABC
Then she mov'd down to Georgia when she was sixteen
Spent vacation with her relation 
'Bout a year or two in New Orleans
She's been in every state in Dixie 
'cept the state of marriage bliss 
She takes a dip each morning in the Brandy wine
Hangs her clothes upon the Mason Dixon Line
She was born and rais'd in Dixie
And she's Dixie all the time

My Love Affair With Trains
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Merle Haggard



Ev'rytime I hear the sound of a train
Comin' down that railroad track
I get that faraway look in my eye
And I'd like to throw my hammer down
And take off to some distant town
And not even take the time to say goodbye

I've got to think about my babies
About my job and my ol' lady
And how much she'd miss me if I's gone
And I love them more than anything
But I got this feelin' near by trains
And some other wish I's on that train and gone

That train keeps a-rollin' down the track
Bringin' my old mem'ries back
Makin' hobo blood boil in my veins
Revivin' my old love affair with trains

The nights ain't never long enough
My wife keeps sayin', "You get up
Or you'll be late to work and miss your ride"
I grab my dinner bucket up
And jump on the back of Joe's pickup truck
And I wonder if I'll jump that train tonight

And it wasn't long ago that I was free
To jump that train and ride
But I gave it up to be a family man
And I don't suppose I'll ever go
But when I hear that whistle blow
I think of my ol' love affair again

That train keeps comin' down the track
Bringin' my old mem'ries back
Makin' the hobo blood boil in my veins
Revivin' my old love affair with trains

That train keeps comin' down the track
Bringin' my old mem'ries back
Makin' the hobo blood boil in my veins
Revivin' my old love affair with trains

She's Dancing Her Heart Away
Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert; Kerry Mills



Who is that beauty that's right over there
Dancing with, so much emotion 
Wonderful eyes and such beautiful hair
Do you think that she's all devotion? 
Just look at that smile on her face
The truth is, it's much out of place for

Melody seems to enchant her each night
Healing a heart that was broken
Dancing just seems to make everything right
Grief that has never been spoken
It's often that you heard them say
"If you dance, the fiddler you pay" for

She'd only one of many 
Who's dancing her heart away
Each smile is a hidden teardrop
She's acting like in a play
There's many a dance dancing
Though she may seem happy and gay
Her heart it has yearned for a love that was spurned
She's dancing her heart away

She's Bringing You Down
Composer(s): Ian Carnochan
Performer(s): The Vibrators



Here she comes, you know she's bringing you down
You always said you'd be the last one to leave town
But now you say that she's a bitch
She's got that seven year itch
Been and put you in a ditch
An' you're gonna blow your brains out
Never saw her cheatin'
All you heard was your own poor heart beatin'
Don'tcha cry when you see her goin' by
Oh no no no no no no no

She's real dynamite, she'll make you scream and shout
You always said you knew what it was all about
But now you're caught in a trap
Oh my god you say as you look back
If only you'd known which way things were gonna be goin'
Never saw her cheatin'
All you heard was your own poor heart beatin'
Don'tcha cry when you see her goin' by
Oh no no no no no no no

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes 
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
   
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free 
   
Yeah she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
   
And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden 
then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she brings out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself cause she's always a woman to me
 
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants 
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you 
But she's always a woman to me

Hij verleidt met een lach, hij verwondt met een blik
Hij verwoest je vertrouwen in één ogenblik
Hij verbergt wat hij wil en onthult wat hij kan
Hij liegt als een kind, maar voor mij blijft hij altijd een man

Je weet niet of hij blijft, maar je blijft steeds geloven
En hij smeekt om je hart, maar hij wil niks beloven
En hij neemt wat hij denkt dat je best kan missen
Hij steelt als een dief, maar voor mij blijft hij altijd een man

Oh, hij is sterker dan ooit
En toch staat hij soms stil
Bij de klank van mijn stem

Oh, en hij geeft zich niet bloot
En hij weet wat hij wil
Ah, ik hou zo van hem

Hij belooft je altijd weer de hemel op aarde
En dan breekt hij je hart plots en lacht om je tranen
En het goede, het slechte, je neemt wat je kan
Dus verwijt het jezelf maar, voor mij blijft hij een man

Oh, hij is sterker dan ooit
En toch staat hij soms stil
Bij de klank van mijn stem

Oh, en hij geeft zich niet bloot
En hij weet wat hij wil
Ah, ik hou zo van hem

Hij is af en toe lief en dan plots heel brutaal
En hij doet wat hij wil, hij is niemand ten slaaf
Maar hij wordt niet veroordeeld, m’n reikt hem de hand
En misschien lacht hij soms als een jongen naar jou
maar voor mij blijft hij altijd een man

Haar glimlach kan doden
haar ogen beloven
dingen die jij alleen gelooft in je dromen
ze laat alleen dat zien wat jou aan haar bindt
ze jokt als een kind
maar toch blijft ze mijn beste vriendin

Haar liefde verwart
ze verleidt of verlaat je
je geeft haar je hart en ze lacht
en verraad je
ze nam wat ik weggaf vanaf het begin
ze steelt als een dief
maar toch blijft ze mijn beste vriendin

Oh, ze past goed op zichzelf
en ze heeft alle tijd
want de tijd is van haar
Oh, ze geeft zich nooit bloot
ze geeft zelden iets toe
maakt alleen een gebaar

Ze toont je de hemel, ze geeft je de hel
ze wil echt wel trouw zijn
alleen aan zichzelf
wil jij zoet, wil zij zout
zij krijgt altijd haar zin
geef jezelf maar de schuld
want ze blijft toch mijn beste vriendin

Oh, ze past goed op zichzelf
en ze heeft alle tijd
want de tijd is van haar
Oh, ze geeft zich nooit bloot
ze geeft zelden iets toe
maakt alleen een gebaar

Voor onschuld te ijdel
voor jou veel te snel
je kan haar niet winnen
want jij bent haar spel
veroordeel haar niet omdat ik haar bemin
ach, ze geeft niets om jou
ze is meer dan m'n vrouw
ze is altijd m'n beste vriendin
Veroordeel haar niet omdat ik haar bemin
ze is meer dan m'n vrouw

Sie ist süß, wenn sie lächelt
Und lieb, wenn sie weint
Wenn sie bös ist,denkst du
Sie hat's nicht so gemeint
Wie ein Kätzchen treibt sie
Mit der Maus gern ihr Spiel
Mir scheint sie ist eben
Ein Engel, der weiß, was er will

Du erkennst ihre Tricks
Du durchschaust ihre Lügen
Doch schon mit einem Blick
Kann sie dich wieder kriegen
Du willst reden, sie küßt dich
Dann wirst du ganz still
Sie lockt mit dem Himmel
Ein Engel, der weiß, was er will

Oh, sie lenkt dich nur ganz sacht
Und gibt dir das Gefühl
Alles geht nur nach dir
Oh, oft genügt eine Nacht
Und schon ist sie am Ziel
Sie kennt Mittel dafür

Sie beschwört ihre Liebe
Mit Augengeklimper
Dann zerreißt sie dein Herz
Und zuckt nicht mit der Wimper
Und sie sieht dich verbluten
Dabei bleibt sie ganz kühl
Niemand tut gern so weh
Wie ein Engel, der weiß, was er will

Oh, sie lenkt dich nur ganz sacht
Und gibt dir das Gefühl
Alles geht nur nach dir
Oh, oft genügt eine Nacht
Und schon ist sie am Ziel
Sie kennt Mittel dafür

Hat sie dich erst gekränkt
Ist es sie, die verzeiht
Sie verletzt dich mit Absicht
Und dir tut es Leid
Immer wenn ich's mit anseh
Hab ich das Gefühl
Nur der Teufel allein
Könnte herzloser sein
Als ein Engel, der weiß, was er will

Performer(s): Gary Stewart
and multiple other artists



I've seen men look at before
And they think, I don't see them
I'd like to think it makes me proud
But, I'm only.. fooling me

I know she'll be lookin' back
The minute I'm not there
While she pours herself on some stranger
I pour myself a drink somewhere

She's acting single
I'm drinking double
I hide my pain
I drown my troubles

My heart is breaking
Like the tiny bubbles
She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles

I know all she plans to do
But I don't know where or when
If I ask who that stranger was
She'll just say, "an old friend"

I'm not weak, I tell myself
I stay because I'm strong
The truth is, I'm not man enough
To stop her from doing me wrong

She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles
I hide my pain
I drown my troubles

My heart is breaking
Like the tiny bubbles
She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles

She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles
I hide my pain
I drown my troubles

Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colours everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours

Have you seen her all in gold?

She shoots her colours all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She's A Mystery To Me
Composer(s): Dr. David Evans; Paul Hewson
Performer(s): Roy Orbison; The Hungry Ghost



Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where I can't find my way
Without her as my guide

Night falls I'm cast beneath here spell
Daylight comes our heaven torn to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then I just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

Haunted by her side is the darkness in her eyes
That so enslaves me
But if my love is blind then I don't want to see
She's a mystery to me

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven torn to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

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
