I Don't Think About Her No More (aka Poison Red Berries) Composer(s): Mickey Newbury Performer(s): Don Williams and multiple other artists
I dont think much about her no more Seldom if ever does she cross my mind Yesterday's gone, its better forgotten Like the poison red berries to die, on the vine
This morning at dawn Lord I pulled into town Had some coffee and talked with some old friends of mine Laughing at the good times they remembered Then I remembered a time
Lord I can still see the bright lights back in Dallas As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind I didnt suppose that Id ever forget her And you know it took such a long time
But I dont think much about her no more Seldom if ever does she cross my mind Yesterday's gone, Lord its better forgotten Like the poison red berries that cling, to the mind
With Bells On Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers; Michelle Visage
I'll be home with bells on I'll be home with bells on Trim the trees and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
I've traveled around this country crossed the waters deep and wide Made lots of friends and memories brought joy to others lives It's Christmas time again another year has come and gone And I can't keep from wonderin' how the old folks are at home
I'll be home with bells on I'll be home with bells on Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
When the snow is on the meadow and the sleigh bells jingle bright And the kids are singing jingle bells around the Christmas lights As daddy stokes the fire and mama puts the turkey on There ain't nothing going to slow me down this Christmas I'll be home
I'll be home with bells on I'll be home with bells on Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
Si Le Bon Dieu L'avait Voulu Composer(s): Paul Fort; Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Si le Bon Dieu l'avait voulu - lanturette, lanturlu - j'aurais connu la Cléopâtre, et je t'aurais pas connue J'aurais connu la Cléopâtre, et je ne t'aurais pas connue Sans ton amour que j'idolâtre, las! que fussé-je devenu?
Si le Bon Dieu l'avait voulu j'aurais connu la Messaline, Agnès, Odette et Mélusine, et je ne t'aurais pas connue J'aurais connu la Pompadour, Noémi, Sarah, Rebecca la Fille du Royal Tambour, et la Mogador et Clara
Mais le Bon Dieu n'a pas voulu que je connaisse leurs amours je t'ai connue, tu m'as connu - gloire à Dieu au plus haut des nues! - Las! que fussé-je devenu sans toi la nuit, sans toi le jour? Je t'ai connue, tu m'as connu - gloire à Dieu au plus haut des nues!
Si Chiamava Gesù Composer(s): Fabrizio de André Performer(s): Fabrizio de André
Venuto da molto lontano a convertire bestie e gente non si può dire non sia servito a niente perché prese la terra per mano vestito di sabbia e di bianco alcuni lo dissero santo per altri ebbe meno virtù si faceva chiamare Gesù
Non intendo cantare la gloria né invocare la grazia e il perdono di chi penso non fu altri che un uomo come Dio passato alla storia ma inumano è pur sempre l'amore di chi rantola senza rancore perdonando con l'ultima voce chi lo uccide fra le braccia di una croce
E per quelli che l'ebbero odiato nel getzemani pianse l'addio come per chi l'adorò come Dio che gli disse sia sempre lodato per chi gli portò in dono alla fine una lacrima o una treccia di spine accettando ad estremo saluto la preghiera l'insulto e lo sputo
E morì come tutti si muore come tutti cambiando colore non si può dire non sia servito a molto perché il male dalla terra non fu tolto Ebbe forse un po' troppe virtù ebbe un nome ed un volto: Gesù Di Maria dicono fosse il figlio sulla croce sbiancò come un giglio
I Miss A Lot Of Trains Composer(s): Tom T. Hall Performer(s): Tom T. Hall; Dick Curless
When the train pulls in the station you'll be waiting by the track Your havin' trouble sleepin' nights you want me to come back But that old train will roll on by, you'll know I never came While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
Your standin' in the station I can see you in my mind You think that I'll forgive again but your so wrong this time Your sleepless eyes and selfish heart are waitin' there in vain While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains

Titles In Other Languages: 1978 - Et Vinterhvidt Vidunderland 2000 - Au Royaume Du Bonhomme Hiver
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight Walkin' in a winter wonderland Gone away is the bluebird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along Walkin' in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say are you married We'll so no man, But you can do the job when you're in town Later on we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we made Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Si La France Composer(s): Guy Béart Performer(s): Dalida
Si la France se mariait avec elle-même Si un jour elle se disait enfin je t'aime Elle inventerait la ronde qui épouserait le monde Si la France s'embrassait un jour qui sait
Pour la rose et le lilas en harmonie La main gauche et la main droite enfin unies Le bleuet près du muguet ce bouquet est jeune et gai Qui marie toutes les couleurs en quelques fleurs
Il faudra bien apprendre à vivre ensemble Dans le besoin et les baisers Avec tes voisins, tes cousins, tes gendres Tes enfants de curs opposés
Toi l'éternelle maman célibataire Qui voudrait dormir avec toute la terre Que de serments éternels avec des lunes de miel Pour finir en coup de tête après la fête
Pauvre Jeanne, la lorraine et Henri quatre Vercingétorix par qui t'es-tu fait battre Où sont cachés les amis c'est la saint Barthélémy Et la France en plein été décapitée
Femme qui tourne contre toi tes armes Au cur des combats de quartier Il ne te reste parfois que les larmes Pour retrouver ton amitié
Si la France se mariait avec elle-même Si un jour elle se disait enfin je t'aime Elle inventerait la ronde qui épouserait le monde Si la France s'embrassait un jour qui sait
Will Santy Come To Shanty Town? Composer(s): Eddy Arnold; Steve Nelson; Ed Nelson Jr. Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
Will Santy come to Shanty Town to a poor littly boy like me? Will he bring me some toys like the other girls and boys? Will Santy come to Shanty Town if he sees our Christmas tree? Mommy said he would if I promised to be good.
For we don't have a fireplace or a chimney on our shack Like the other lucky children have who live across the track Now, if I say my pray'rs each day, when Christmas rolls around Will Santy come to Shanty Town?
Will Santy come to Shanty Town to a poor little boy like me? Will he bring me some toys like the other girls and boys? Will Santy come to Shanty Town if he sees our Christmas tree? Mommy said he would if I promised to be good
He didn't stop last Christmas Eve, doesn't he know we live here? Will my mommy have to paint my toys the way she did las year? Now, if I say my pay'rs each day, when Christmas rolls around Will Santy come to Shanty Town?
Idle On Parade Composer(s): Len Praverman Performer(s): Anthony Newley; Blue Cats
This is a camp that is a-mighty tough Were the marchin' men are made But I am a guy who doesn't dig that stuff And I'm idle on parade
There is a man, a Sergeant-Major Lush And he has got to be obeyed (Yeah!) And in a voice just like a little thrush He says I'm idle on parade
Now, when they gave me a rifle, well they went too far I'm much better off when I got a guitar I told the C.O. that I wanna be sent He sent me to a place where I could repent
When I was a-free, I was a crazy pup Rock-a-boogie was my trade Now Captain Burton-Bassett says I'm all shook up And I'm idle on parade
When they gave me a rifle, well they went too far I'm much better off when I got a guitar I told the C.O. that I wanna be sent He sent me to a place where I could repent
When I was a-free, I was a crazy pup Rock-a-boogie was my trade Now Captain Burton-Bassett says I'm all shook up And I'm idle on para-a-a-a-a-ade (Idle on paraa-a-a-ade)
Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit You can't fire me, I quit since I don't fit in Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit Just because my nose glows why don't I fit in?

We use to sit beside the fire together And wait for the dawn of Christmas to appear But on this Christmas Eve I have to wonder Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
Whos gonna put those gifts beneath your Christmas Tree? Whos gonna pay the bills for your Christmas shopping spree? And on this Christmas Eve, whos gonna hug you close and near? Honey, Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
'Cause it's been so long since I held you tight When we said goodnight It's been so long, honey, can't you see What you've done to me?
I've been in a kind of daze For days and days and days Feelin' blue, missin' you In, oh, so many ways
'Cause it was so nice when we had that date Every night at eight, it was so nice Then we said goodbye, what a fool was I Let me get back in your arms where I belong

Who Says There Ain't No Santa Composer(s): Larry Boone; Kix Brooks; Paul Nelson Performer(s): Brooks & Dunn; The Wacky Redneck Hillbillies
Got a wife and two kids, all gathered around A twenty-pound turkey, snow on the ground Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
Eric wants a glove, he tears into a box His eyes are wide with wonder, I sit back and watch Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
I haven't heard a single reindeer running on my roof I just look into my children's eyes and there I see my proof And could it be that jolly old man riding in his sleigh Is really just the kid in us on every Christmas Day Who says there's no Santa Claus
Molly gets a doll, Momma's camera clicks Guess we all get the puppy, he's getting in his licks Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
I'm trying to read a card in crooked red and blue Only part that really matters is "Daddy, we love you" Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
I haven't heard a single reindeer running on my roof I just look into my children's eyes and there I see my proof And could it be that jolly old man riding in his sleigh Is really just the kid in us on every Christmas Day Who says there's no Santa Claus
Hey, I've heard there ain't no Santa Claus But I know there's got to be a Santa Claus
Who Kept The Sheep Composer(s): John R. Cash; June Carter Performer(s): Johnny Cash
The shepherds afar left their flocks by night Followed the new star by its heavenly light Did the lambs fear the wolves, did they lay down and sleep Who kept the sheep, who kept the sheep
Did robbers not steal or did they fear the light That the shepherds had followed night after night Did they not stray, did little lambs weep Who kept the sheep, who kept the sheep
Under the new star the new Saviour lay In his dim manger he lay on the hay The shepherds that came had a vigil to keep But who kept the sheep, who kept the sheep Who kept the sheep, who kept the sheep
Si J'étais Peintre Ou Maçon Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Si j'étais peintre ou maçon Métallo ou forgeron Que je travaille à la chaîne En écoutant ma rengaine Vous vous feriez une raison Si j'etais peintre ou maçon
Mais je gagne des millions Et combats à ma façon Votre bien-aimé système Et votre teint devient blême Quand je dis révolution Moi qui gagne des millions
Vous avez peur d'une chanson Peur de l'avenir Vous manquez d'imagination Jusqu'à en mourir
Si je sortais de prison Si je couchais sous les ponts Vous vous diriez c'est la haine Ce serait pour votre aubaine Une belle explication Si je sortais de prison
Moi qui croque vos millions Quand je chante abolissons Votre bien-aimé système Vous criez que je blasphème De vos profits le saint nom Moi qui croque vos millions
Vous avez peur d'une chanson Peur de l'avenir Vous manquez d'imagination Jusqu'à en mourir
Quand je chantais pour deux ronds Dormais sur un paillasson Vous disiez c'est la bohème Passé l'temps des cafés-crème Il changera d'opinion Quand je chantais pour deux ronds
Avec ou sans vos millions Dissippez vos illusions Vous ne m'aurez pas quand même Etre fidèle à moi-même Reste ma seule ambition Avec ou sans vos millions
Nous qui sommes des millions Vous déclarons sans façon Gardez bien votre système Car il changera quand même Que vous le vouliez ou non Nous qui sommes des millions
Who Is This Babe Composer(s): Don Potter Performer(s): The Judds
Who is this baby, where did he come from He's the son of a carpenter, the chosen one He's the hope of the ages, a gift of His love Just a child in a manger, God's only son
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Shepherds were watching out under the sky When the star over Bethlehem lit up the night He's the light in the darkness a gift from above He is held with the spirit of God's holy love
