A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

You're So Vain
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon;
and various other artists



You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht 
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye 
Your scarf it was apricot 
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte 
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner 
They'd be your partner, and.... 

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you 
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you 
Don't you? Don't you? 

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive 
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair 
and that you would never leave 
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me 
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and.... 

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you..... 

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won 
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun 
Well you're where you should be all of the time 
And when you're not you're with 
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend 
Wife of a close friend, and.... 

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

A Hard Nut To Crack
Composer(s): George Davis - Lee Diamond
Performer(s): Aaron Neville



I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you’re goin’ around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don’t know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
You’re a hard nut to crack
You take a strong man and break his back
I don’t know but I’ve been told, next to you my life’s been cold
You’re a demon, girl, you know you’re outta sight

Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don’t know
Ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you

Know the guy you’re giving my money
And you come home and call me honey
You look like you made a resolution
Took my best friend john and put him in an institution
You’re a demon, girl you know you’re outta sight

Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don’t know
I ask the man from up above to help me to save your love
I want you

You’re a hard nut to crack

You're So Understanding
Composer(s): Ben Raleigh; Bernie Wayne
Performer(s): Evelyn Knight;
Blue Barron; Jerry Wayne; Dean Martin



You're so understanding
Whenever I feel blue
Whenever I need someone
I always run to you

You're so understanding
Whenever things go wrong
If I have you to cling to
They're not that way for long

As long as you are near me
My cares are far away
Your smile can always cheer me
Your kiss your touch can do so much

Oh, you're so understanding
In everything that you do
And Darling I will always
Be understanding too

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog

I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say
You're gonna give me ev'rything
So why on earth should I moan
'Cos when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When I'm home ev'rything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me
Tight, tight, yeh

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright...

You're So Sweet, Horseflies Keep Hangin' 'Round Your Face
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine 
Could never take your place
And your eyes 
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
And I guess it shows

Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane) 
Oh what a fine name (what a fine name) 
And you're nothing like them females 
From Dover City
(nothin' at all) 
Front teeth missin' 
(hee, you got your front teeth missin') 
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good) 
You're more loyal than my dog Sam
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)

You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine 
Could never take your place
And your eyes 
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
and I guess it shows

I can't forget (oh, no) 
When we first met (first)
Well, it was bull wrestling time 
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o) 
And I almost cried (wept) 
When you took first prize 
(first prize, sweetheart) 
Well 
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go 
(they never had a chance)

You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine 
Could never take your place
And your eyes 
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
and I guess it shows

You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine 
Could never take your place
And your eyes 
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
And I guess it shows

Ne fais pas à ta tête, laisse-moi un peu de répit
Je sais que ton amour est plus grand chaque jour
Mais laisse-moi me reposer

You're So Rude
Composer(s): Ian McLagan; Ronnie Lane
Performer(s): Faces



My mum she likes you, she thinks your swell 
Got the makin's of a dance hall girl
Your low-cut frock and your bird's nest hair
Stiletto heels and the way that you swear
She says to take you back to see my folks again on Sunday 

Why, it looks as though there's nobody in
They've all gone out to see my Auntie Renee
Don't you worry, you just come right in
I'm sure we'll pass the time til they come home
Well, let me take your coat, kick off your shoes
Warm your toes, try the sofa

Its getting dark, we'll miss the late night bus 
It's only eight?
Well, I'm not takin' any chances.
Whats that noise? Why'd they come back so soon?
Straighten your dress you're really looking a mess
I'll wet my socks, pretend we just got caught in the rain
Oh, your so rude

Ach Vader Lief, Toe Drink Niet Meer
Performer(s): Zangeres Zonder Naam



Ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer, ik vroeg het al zo menige keer
want moesje lief huilt telkens weer
ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer....

Een moeder zit stil bij 't fornuis
aan 't raam staat verdrietig haar kind
want nog steeds is vader niet thuis
omdat hij het weekloon verdrinkt
dan rent plots het kind door de kou
en hoort in een kroeg vader's stem
het pakt hem bedeesd bij zijn mouw
en vraagt dan met bevende stem

Ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer
ik vroeg het al zo menige keer
want moesje lief huilt telkens weer
oh vader lief, toe drink niet meer....

De man stoot het kind van zich af
dat valt met een smak op de grond
dan ziet hij vol schrik tot zijn straf
het hoofdje is bloedend verwond
vol schaamte brengt hij dan z'n kind
terug naar zijn huis en zijn vrouw
terwijl ze het hoofdje verbindt
zegt vader vol innig berouw

Je vader lief, die drinkt niet meer
je vroeg het al zo menige keer
dus moesje lief kom huil niet meer
want vader lief, die drinkt niet meer

Now I see the way it’s meant to be
‘Cause you’re so right for me

Clooney: 
You’re so right for me
Just the one for me
How I need your clinging caress
Your fabulous lips, your voice saying ‘yes’

‘Cause you’re so right for me

A Happy Guy
Composer(s): Larry Kusic - Kenny Rankin
Performer(s): Rick Nelson; José Feliciano



Some guys like a 9 to 5 job 
and a house with a white picket fence 
some guys live for that weekly pay check 
but to me it don't make much sense 
now I dont like a tight collar 
or a suit with a matching tie 
I like to pick up and go where the four winds blow 

I steer clear of sweet talkin' gals 
they gotta wedding bells on their mind 
they want a guy to stay home every night 
but me I'm a different kind 

I move when I'm ready  
and I don't have to tell you why 
I just grab my hat  
and leave where I'm at 
and that's why I'm a happy guy 

You can look for me when Im passing through  
and I'll stay awhile in your town 
we can live it up and let the good times roll 
but dont try to settle me down 

No girls gonna chain me! 
I was born with a roving eye 
and when the thrill is gone  
I'll be moving on  

and that's why im a happy guy

Alright 
Well, I walk and I talk about you

Well there's nothing in this world
Sweet as your lips, you're so fine, you're so fine
Every time we meet, my heart skips a beat
You're my first cup of coffee
(chorus - My last cup of coffee) 

You're so fine,so fine, baby you're mine
alright, all the time
Oh yes you is
Well I walk and I talk about you

Alright now, yeah, alright

You know that I walk

A Handful Of Stars
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence - Ted Shapiro
Performer(s): Glenn Miller



I recall the story
That night of love and glory
A night that left my heart romantic scars
We stood so near to heaven
That I reached clear to heaven
And gathered you a handful of stars

Sweet remembered hour
When love began to flower
With moonlight through the trees like silver balls
And as the moon grew older
I reached across your shoulder
And gathered you a handful of stars

I placed my fingertips upon your lips
And stars fell in your eyes
Moonglow made a halo of your hair
Suddenly you looked at me and dreams began to rise
Oh, what things unspoken trembled in the air

Our hearts were madly beating
And then our lips were meeting
And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars
Then while we stood caressing
Blue heaven sent a blessing
A shower of a handful of stars...!

Buy you diamond, everything

Well, I've got a handful of songs to sing you
Can't stop my voice when it longs to sing you
New songs and blue songs and songs to bring you happiness
No more nor less
Moreover wherever we may roam to
Or any shore where we may be blown to

Jazz and cha-cha-chas
Calypsos and street vendor cries
Strains of old refrains
Sleepy time baby lullabies
I've got a handful of songs to sing you
I've got a heart full of love to bring you
True love for you love and love's a thing you keep
So here's a handful of songs going cheap
Just a handful of songs
Just a handful of songs

Performer(s): Johnny Burnette;
and various other artists



You come on like a dream, peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

You're all ribbons and curls, ooh what a girl
Eyes that sparkle and shine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop

You walked out of my dreams and into my arms
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop

You walked out of my dreams, and into my car
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine

A Half-Way Chance With You
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



If half of all the things you say, were true instead of lies
Then there'd be only half as many teardrops in my eyes
If half of all the dreams I dream, were ever to come true
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You

If most of all the things I hear, were only half-way true
Then I'd be half-way happy dear and only half as blue
If You spent half the time with me, you spend with someone new
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You

A half-way love is not enough, it's always kiss an run
I just can't fool my heart that way, I must have all, or none
If part-time love is all you want, or all you care to give
Why bother with the love at all, and only half-way live

If some of all the tears that fall, were yours and not all mine
Then half the clouds would disappear and half the sun would shine
If things were only turned around and you were feelin' blue
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With you

You're Sensational
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



A thorough knowledge I've got about girls
I've been around
And after learning a lot about girls
This is the important fact I found...

I've no proof
When people say you're more or less aloof
But you're sensational
I don't care
If you are called "The Fair Miss Frigid Air"
'Cause you're sensational

Making love is quite an art
What you require is the proper squire to fire your heart
And if you say
That one fine day you'll let me come to call
We'll have a ball
'Cause you're sensational
Sensational
That's all, that's all, that's all

A Habit I Can't Break
Composer(s): Buck Owens
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Loving you isn't good for me 
You keep my tears flowing 
If I left you I couldn't stay gone 
So there's no use in going 
Loving you is a habit I can't break 

I haven't found a way yet 
But I've been trying 
To stop loving you but I can't wait 
There's no use in lyin' 

Loving you is a habit I can't break 

Loving you is a habit I can't break 
I've been loving you much too long now 
To change the way I feel 
So I might as well get used to these heartaches 

Loving you is a habit I can't break
