She's My Best Friend
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: Lou Reed - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists



She's my best friend, certainly not the average girl
She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling down
Oh, it hurts to be that way
Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow
Here's to Newspaper Joe, dropped his teeth on the floor
Caught his hand in the door
Guess that's the way the news goes

If you want to see me
Sorry, but I'm not around
If you want to be me
Turn around, I'm by the window where the light is

She's my best friend, better than a dog or cat
She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling down
Oh, it hurts to be that way
Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow
Here's to Mullberry Jane, she made jam when she came
Somebody cut off her feet, now jelly rolls in the street
If you want to see me
Sorry, but I'm not around
If you want to feel me
Turn around, I'm by the window where the light is

She's my best friend, certainly not the average girl
She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling

Falling down, Falling down ...

She's Mine
Composer(s): Lightin' Hopkins
Performer(s): Pigpen



Well she's little and she's low, right down on the ground 
You know she's little and she's low, right down on the ground 
You know the way she acts makes a rabbit hug a hound

And she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, she's mine
She's mine, she's little and low, crippled and she's blind 

Everybody's laughin' at me where I go
'Cause I lead my old lady down the road
But she's mine, she's mine
Well she's mine, she little and low, crippled and she's blind 

She's alright, make me feel so good
She's alright, make me feel so good
Yes if I didn't know
The woodpecker wouldn't be pecking no wood

Well, she's little and she's low again, right down on the ground
She's little and she's low, right down on the ground
You know, the way she acts make a rabbit hug a hound

She's still my baby, she feels so good
Yes, she's mine, she's little and low, crippled and she's blind

She´s Mine 
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Hoy caí
en Madrid
y por casualidad, por casualidad
pienso en ti
strawberry fields
que importa la verdad
en Plaza Mayor
en Puerta del Sol
las chicas van igual...

en París
en Berlín
en cualquier lugar
en cualquier ciudad
pienso en ti
yo muero por tí
que importa la verdad
en Río, en Bonn
en Constitución
las chicas van igual...

Vi tu foto y me dormí
en una habitación
vi tu foto y me dormí

Hoy caí
en Madrid
y por casualidad, por casualidad
pienso en ti
la vida sin fin
que importa la verdad

She's mine, she's mine
she's mine, she's mine

Después me voy
yo necesito de tu amor
adonde voy, adonde voy
yo necesito de tu amor
después me voy, adonde voy
yo necesito de tu amor

Vi tu foto y me dormí
en una habitación
vi tu foto y me dormí

Rockin' Santa
(Adapted from: Rockin' Robin - 1958)
Composer(s): Jimmy Thomas; Erick Traplin
Performer(s): Erick Traplin



Well he rocks at the North Pole all year long
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singin' his song
All the little elves, they tap their toe
When they hear Santa go ho, ho, ho

Rockin' Santa, ho, ho, ho
Rockin' Santa, ho, ho, ho
Well go rockin' Santa
Cos' we're really gonna rock tonight

Every little reindeer, every snowman
Every little elf in Christmas land
All the little toys, standin' in a row
Clap their hands sayin' go santa go

A pretty little elf at the toy stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
He started shakin' and what do you know
He's still boppin' at the North Pole

Well all the elves, will gather `round
When they hear Santa's goin' to town
They load up his sleigh, shine Rudolph's nose
And wave good-bye, sayin' go santa go

She's Looking Good
Composer(s): Autry Inman
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
and multiple other artists



Everybody that I see
Says she's looking good
There's no doubt about it
She's looking good

There's just one thing that worries me
It happened this way before
She's looking good and I'm afraid
She'll find what she's looking for

There was a time her love was mine
And I was her whole world
But from time to time she changed her mind
Then she's a different girl

She'll paint her face and comb her hair
A picture that I adore
And I die each time so afraid she'll find
What she's looking for

Mhm, she's looking good.
Mhm, she's looking good...

She's Like The Wind
Composer(s): Patrick Swayze; Stacy Widelitz
First release by: Patrick Swayze & Wendy Fraser - 1987



She's like the wind through my tree 
She rides the night next to me 
She leads me through moonlight 
Only to burn me with the sun 
She's taken my heart 
But she deosn't know what she's done 

Feel her breath on my face 
Her body close to me 
Can't look in her eyes 
She's out of my league 
Just a fool to believe 
I have anything she needs 
She's like the wind 

I look in the mirror and all I see 
Is a young old man with only a dream 
Am I just fooling myself 
That she'll stop the pain 
Living without her 
I'd go insane 

Feel her breath on my face 
Her body close to me 
Can't look in her eyes 
She's out of my league 
Just a fool to believe 
I have anything she needs 
She's like the wind

She's Leaving Home
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
She's silently closing her bedroom door
Just leaving a note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
She's quietly turning the backdoor key
She's stepping outside, and she is free

She - we gave her most of our lives 
Is leaving - sacrificed most of our lives - home
We gave her everything money could buy
For so many years

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
She picks up the note that is lying there
She's standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
"Daddy, daddy, our baby, she's gone!
How could she treat me so thoughtlessly
Tell me, why would she do this thing to me?"

She - we never thought of ourselves 
Is leaving - never a thought for ourselves - home
We struggled hard all of our lives to get by
Oh, yes we did
Struggled for so many years

It's Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
She's got away
She's waiting to keep an appointment that she's made
She's meeting a man from the motor trade

She - what did we do that was wrong
Is leaving - we never knew that we did anything wrong - home
Fun is the one thing that money cannot buy

Something inside that was always denied for so many years
Why should she treat us so thoughtlessly?
Why should she do this to me?
Our baby's leaving home
I've been living alone for so many years
Bye-bye, oh bye-bye, goodbye

She's Leavin' (Bonnie, Please Don't Go)
Composer(s): Kevin Johnson
Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown



She's leavin', she's leavin', she's on the ship now and leavin'
Standing by the gateway, tossin' streamers over my way
I find it kinda hard believin'
Deceivin', deceivin', my subtle game of deceivin'
Standing here and waving, blowin' kisses and behavin'
Like it doesn't matter much to see her leavin'

I don't know what, I don't know who, I don't know where she's goin' to
I only know she's goin' out of my life
Across the sea a-wavin' hands and Col'nel Billy's farewell band
I watch the disappearin' face of my wife
And I'm doin' all I can to hide the sad confusion in my mind
And brace myself with every trick I know
And though my lips are beating time to the words of Auld Lang Syne
My voice keeps on defyin', cryin' Bonnie, please don't go

Oh that fool in me, persuadin' me to hide the broken pieces of my
dignity
When a simple reassuring word just to reach out and comfort her
Was all I had to say to keep her here with me
And I don't know what, I don't know where, I don't know who she's
goin' to
I only know she's goin' out of my life
Across the sea a-wavin' hands and Col'nel Billy's farewell band
I watch the disappearin' face of my wife
She's leavin', she's leavin'

She's Just My Style   
Composer(s): Gary Lewis; Leon Russell; Snuff Garrett; Al Capps
Performer(s): Gary Lewis 
and multiple other artists



Ev'ry time I see her she don't even look my way
Maybe she will notice me but then what would I say?
I would say what's on my mind
But the words are hard to find
But I'm gonna try to tell her anyway

(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?

Other guys who meet her may not think she's much to see
I can't begin to tell you what she always does to me
Maybe it's the clothes she wears
Or the way she combs her hair
Oh that makes me want to tell her that I care

(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?

Maybe it's the clothes she wears
Or the way she combs her hair
Oh that makes me want to tell her that I care

(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?

(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
Ev'rything about her) drives me wild

(Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?

I've got your picture 
That you gave to me 
And it's signed with love 
Just like it used to be 
The only thing different 
The only thing new 
I've got your picture 
She's got you 

I've got the records 
That we used to share 
And they still sound the same 
As when you were here 
The only thing different 
The only thing new 
I've got the records 
She's got you 

I've got your memory 
Or, has it got me 
I really don't know 
But I know, it won't let me be 

I've got your class ring 
That proves you cared 
And it still looks the same 
As when you gave it, dear 
The only thing different 
The only thing new 
I've got these little things 
She's got you 

I've got your memory 
Or, has it got me 
I really don't know 
But I know, it won't let me be 

I've got your class ring 
That proves you cared 
And it still looks the same 
As when you gave it, dear 
The only thing different 
The only thing new 
I've got these little things

She's Got A Way
Composer(s): Billy Joel
First release by: Billy Joel - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her

She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason
Anyway

She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me

She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know what it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin'
Anywhere

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around

She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'

She's got a light around her
And everywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround her
Everywhere

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around

She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me

She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
Anyway 

She's Gonna Let You Down
Composer(s): Gerry Beckley
Performer(s): America



We're afraid she's gonna let you down 
Take your money and drop you to the ground 
Wouldn't want to see you messed around 
After all the love you think you've found 
She's gonna let you down 

Doesn't matter what we say 
Love's the stubbornest game to play 
Given time you might see it our way 
And we'll be sorry boy until that day 
She's gonna break away 

Remember all the times you helped us through 
Now here's our chance to do the same for you 
Guess the thing to do is wait around 
Lend a hand when you are on the ground 
She's gonna let you down 
She's gonna let you down 
She's gonna let you down

She's Gone, Gone Gone
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
First release by: Lefty Frizzell - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



She said if I ever deceived her
She'd be gone before I could count ten
I guess that I didn't believe her
'Cause look at the trouble I'm in

She's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Cryin' won't bring her back
The more that I cry, the faster that train flies
Farther on down the track

I lost every right to be happy
When I lost the heaven I found
She warned me she'd leave and she left me
Before my first tear hit the ground

She's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Cryin' won't bring her back
The more that I cry, the faster that train flies
Farther on down the track

If I only knew where to find her
I'd crawl there on my hands and knees
Each tick of the clock's a reminder
She's one second farther from me

She's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Cryin' won't bring her back
The more that I cry, the faster that train flies
Farther on down the track

She's Gone
Performer(s): Ferre Grignard



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
