My baby's gone and died on me She's gone but I'm not free Now I know just how much I loved her Now I just sit there and cry Oh, yes she's gone Oh, yes she's gone To that land of no return Got to roam, just got to travel Any place, any old how Faraway to distant places Try to forget, forget it somehow Oh yes, she's gone Oh yes, she's gone But my baby I don't know where I'm going Got to go back, go back sometime That's where I'll stay, that's where I'll die Got to go back, go back sometime That's where you lay, that's where I'll die That's where I'll go That's where I'll go Oh, my precious love, that's where I'll go
She's Funny That Way Composer(s): Kurt Elling; Neil Moret; Richard Whiting First recording/First release by: Gene Austin - 1928/1929 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm not much to look at, I'm nothing to see I'm just glad I'm living, lucky to be I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar, I ain't worth a cent She doesn't holler, she'd live in a tent I've got a woman, crazy 'bout me She's funny that way
Though she loves to work and slave for me every day She'd be so much better off if I went away
But why should I leave her? Why should I go? She'd be unhappy without me I know I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me She's funny that way
She's From Missouri From the Paramount Picture "Dixie" Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke Performer(s): Bing Crosby
That girl you saw me with last night Ain't she grand! In case you meet her, which you might Well, you've simply got to understand
She's from Missouri You'd know it right away She's from Missouri Be careful what you say Don't try to fool her What a fool you'd be When she has those eyes that say "You've got to show me"
We'll soon be sweethearts Her glances tell me so Yet when I ask her She sighs and answers "No" I don't believe her I'll tell you why She's from Missouri But so am I!
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

2003 - Altijd Een Man (Severine Doré)
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, mn reikt hem de hand En misschien lacht hij soms als een jongen naar jou maar voor mij blijft hij altijd een man

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

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
