Streets Of Laredo
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Faro Burke & The Dealers - 1960
and multiple other artists



As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay

"Oh beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly
Singy the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young cowboy and know I´ve done wrong"

"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy" 
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die!" 

"My friends and relations they live in the Nation
They know not where their dear boy has gone
I first came to Texas and hired to a ranchman
Oh I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong"

"It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
It was once in the saddle I used to go gay
First to the dram house and then to the card house
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today"

"Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
Put roses to deaden the sods as they fall"

"Go gather around you a group of young cowboys
And tell them the story of this my sad fate
Tell one and the other before they go further
To stop their wild roving before it's too late"

"Oh, bury me beside my knife and my shooter
My spurs on my heels, my rifle by my side
And over my coffin put a bottle of brandy
That the cowboys may drink as they carry me along"

"Go fetch me some water, a cool cup of water 
To cool my parched lips," the poor cowboy then said
Before I returned his spirit had left him 
Had gone to his Maker, the cowboy was dead

We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
And bitterly wept as we bore him along
For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young, and handsome
We all loved our comrade although he'd done wrong

Rita:
Now listen up
You've got a lot to learn
And if you don't learn you don't eat
But if you're tough
And always use your head
You'll feel right at home on the street
When you've got talent ev'rything is free
Watch how we do things, oooh, I guarantee

You're gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive
If you do just as you're told
These are streets of gold
Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
You'll take the town and you'll take it with style
If you play it brave and bold
These are streets of gold

To live from week to week
You need technique
So you practice ev'ry day
The only rule is:
Thou shalt not get caught
Get what you can and then get away
Remember all the places you can hide
Remember we are always on your side

You're gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive

You Always Hurt The One You Love
Composer(s): Doris Fisher; Allan Roberts
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers;
and various other artists



You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it 'till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all

You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it 'till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all

You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
Crush it 'till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all

You Alone (Solo Tu)
Composer(s): Robert Allen; Al Stillman
Performer(s): Perry Como;

You alone, you alone
Are the dream I have known
Bringing love to my lonely heart

Now there's heaven in view
Now the dream has come true
For tonight I have you alone

Now that your eyes have told me
You are my love, my own
Come to my arms and hold me
I live for you alone

Solo tu, solo tu
Sei il sogno mio amor
Ch'era sempre nel mio cuor

Ora il sogno è vero
Perche son solo con te

You alone, you alone
Are the dream I have known
Bringing love to my lonely heart

Now there's heaven in view
Now the dream has come true
For tonight I have you alone

----------


As sung by Dean Martin:



You alone, you alone
Are the dream I have known
Bringing love to my lonely heart

Now there's heaven in view
Now the dream has come true
For tonight I have you alone

Now that your eyes have told me
You are my love, my own
Come to my arms and hold me
I live for you alone

Solo tu, solo tu
Sei il sogno mio amor
Ch'era *(sempre nel) mio cuor

Ora il sogno è vero
Perche son solo con te

For tonight I have you alone


*Dean Martin sings this line without the words "sempre nel"

Streets Of Bakersfield
Composer(s): Homer Joy
First release by: Buck Owens and his Buckaroos - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself

I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
I've worn holes in both my heels
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of Bakersfield

Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Spent some time in San Francisco
Spent a night there in the can
They throw this drunk man in my jail cell
Took fifteen dollars from that man

Left him my watch and my old house key
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as I was leaving, and
I headed for the streets of Bakersfield

Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

How many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? 

You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn;
and various other artists



You've come to tell me something 
you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore 
and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him 
oh but I don't think you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

Women like you they're a dime a dozen 
you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over 
and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body 
so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

(Instrumental Break)

Sometimes a man starts lookin' 
at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you 
but he's in love with me
Well I don't know where that leaves you 
oh but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man

Women like you they're a dime a dozen 
you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over 
and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body 
so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

No you ain't woman enough to take my man

Street Fighting Man
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy 
'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy 
But what can a poor boy do 
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 
'Cause in sleepy London town 
There's just no place for a street fighting man 
No 

Hey! Think the time is right for a palace revolution 
'Cause where I live the game to play is compromise solution 
Well, then what can a poor boy do 
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 
'Cause in sleepy London town 
There's no place for a street fighting man 
No 

Hey! Said my name is called disturbance 
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king, I'll rail at all his servants 
Well, what can a poor boy do 
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 
'Cause in sleepy London town 
There's no place for a street fighting man 
No

You can roll me round your finger

You ain't got a hold on me
You ain't got a hold on me
Why don't you let me free

But don't count on me givin' it
All back to you
Just because I'm hooked on livin
Doesn't mean I'm hooked on you

You Ain't Going Nowhere

Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent*

You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair! 

Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair! 

Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!


*(other version by Dylan: 
Pack up your money, pull up your tent, McGuinn, you ain't going nowhere)

Ah, Bleak And Chill The Wintry Wind
Composer(s): Alfred Shaddick Burt - Rev. Bates Gilbert Burt
Performer(s): The Singers Unlimited
and multiple other artists



Ah, bleak and chill the wintry wind
But colder far be he
Who hath no warmth of love to share
With Christ the babe that Mary bare
On His nativity, on His nativity

Dark, dark the night when Christ was born
But deeper shadows be
Within the heart that has no joy
With Mary and her heavenly boy
On His nativity, on His nativity

Peace be to them, and right good cheer
Who carol merrily
And hie them forth when church bells ring
To kneel before their newborn King
On His nativity, on His nativity

You
Composer(s): Justin Hayward; John Lodge
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



You don't even know my name 
Time was when you would 
Take the love you've given all away 
Take a part of me 

You don't even walk my road 
Can't find where you turned 
Looked away and you were gone 
Now we're on our own 
Old man is this why we're alone?

I, I believe 
What is lost forever 
Has brought the change in me 
I, I believe 
What is lost forever 
Has brought the change in me 

You don't even know my world 
I've tried hard to see 
If I'd found the world you're looking for 
There'd be a change in me 

You don't even know my name 
Time was when you would 
Take the love you've given all away 
Take a part of me 
You've gone and changed the world I see 

I, I believe 
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me 
I, I believe 
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me

Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams

Love laughs at a king
‘cos Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams that’s all broken in two
You can make ‘em just like new
On the street of dreams
Now you take gold, silver and gold
All that you can hold
Is way up yonder in the moonbeams
Poor? Ain’t nobody poor
Long as love is sure
On that old street of dreams

Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams

Performer(s): Nils Lofgren



Ah, you, wake me with the genlest touch
When you, kiss me, oh, I feel I must I have you
You have everything I need
Except a burning love for me

When I first saw you that day
I had to ask you stay
We ate and drank to much
And our hearts softly touched
Now, in us I do believe
Or have I been deceived

Ah, you; you come down like early rain, and you
Wash away my every pain, and you
You have everything I need
Except a burning love for me

Well we had this for a while
And when we make love, you'd always smile
Still, there's a distance I can't close
I'm in deeper, and it shows
It shows

Well, while our hearts are young and there's still time
Tell me what to do to make you mine
Oh, mine, ah, you
You walk outside and birds start to sing, ah, you
You look at me and know everything I feel
I feel, grant me one wish, and I'll be free
I want you more in love with me
I want you more in love with me, ah, you

Street Of Dreams
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Joe Lynn Turner
First release by: Rainbow - 1983



I heard the sound of voices in the night
Spell bound there was someone calling
I looked around no on was sight
Pulled down I just kept on falling
I've seen this place before
You were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want to be
I know it's a mystery
Do you remember me on a street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams

There you stood a distant memory
So good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started
Something's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now it's still a mystery

Do you remember me on a street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams

Tell me have you always been
On the street of dreams
Will we ever meet again my friend
Do you know just who you'll see do ya
On the street of dreams
You can be who you want to be oh yeh
I can hear you calling me
I can feel you haunting me
Haunting me

Street Of Dreams
Composer(s): Lindsay Buckingham - Richard Dashut
Performer(s): Lindsay Buckingham



Can’t get going
Fear is showing
On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Street of dreams

There’s no telling
What they’re selling
On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Street of dreams

There’s a shadow on my daddy’s stone, where he was laid, laid to rest.
I ask him is this just a dream, or is it just another test?
I turn my back against the cold, I turn my face into the wind
And I wonder will I ever, ever make it home again?
Shadow on daddy’s stone, ten years gone, it seems
I ask him will i ever stop, ever stop dreaming dreams?!
He said never, never, never

And I was praying
You’d be staying
On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Street of dreams

You
French Title: Je Ne Connais Que Toi
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



You are all I've ever known
Through every dreamless night
Through every empty dawn
You and only you alone
Were my moment of truth
Were my promise of youth reborn
Far in the corners of my mind
In shadows hard to find
You were godlike, a voice
That lingered in the air
When every hope was gone
You called me ever on
Through my time of despair

You are words I'll never find
Too full to ever say
Too deep to understand
You make music in my mind
Can't imagine a day
Without wishing to find your hand
Some may wait a lifetime long
And never hear the song
That makes all heaven smile
And when they ask me
Who has made my life worthwhile
As if you didn't know
I owe it all to you
