Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Composer(s): Nicholas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



If you need me, call me 
No matter where you are, no matter how far 
Just call my name 
I'll be there in a hurry 
On that you can depend and never worry
(You see, my love is alive 
It's like a seed that only needs the thought of you to grow 
So if you feel the need for company, please, my darling, let it be me 
I may not be able to express the depth of the love I feel for you 
but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved 
He sat down and wrote these words)

No wind, (No wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal

No wind, no rain
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go

I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me

And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (One more time)
Ain't no river wild enough (Say it again)
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

When Love Is Gone
Composer(s): Michael Morgan; Steve Edward Nelson
Performer(s): Photoglo



When love is gone I always get the feeling
I can't go on, find myself dreamin' of things
That could've been and all the things we never say
Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone
Will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I'll remember you when love is gone

Everyone's in couples as I walk alone thinkin'
I'll never find another love
Never know the beauty of
Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone
Will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oohh-oh, I'll remember you, la-la-la....

When love is gone will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I'll remember you

Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Maria Muldaur; Jah Malla



When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile
It don't matter 'bout his position, it don't matter 'bout his lifestyle
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one

Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good
Some like to worship on the moon, others are worshipping the sun
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one

Look around, ya see so many social hypocrites
Like to make rules for others while they do just the opposite

You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag
In a city of darkness there's no need of the sun
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one

Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame

Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes
Keep a-talking, baby, 'til you run right out of alibis
Someday you'll account for all the deeds that you done
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one

God got the power, man has got his vanity
Man gotta choose before God can set him free
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one

When I'm gone don't wonder where I be
Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me
Say He defeated the devil, He was God's chosen Son
And that there ain't no man righteous, no not one

When Love Goes Wrong
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Harold Adamson
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe



When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
This one thing I know
When love goes wrong
A man takes flight
And women get uppity-oh

The sun don't beam
The moon don't shine
The tide don't ebb and flow
A clock won't strike
A match won't light
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right

The blues all gather round you
And day is dark as night
A man ain't fit to live with
And a woman's sorry sight

When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes, nothing goes rjght
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
A man goes out, gets high as a kite
Love is something you just can't fight
You can't fight it, honey

You can't fight it
When love goes wrong, nothin'
No bows, honey, just cigat bars and off
Nothing goes right
Crazy, Crazy oui, oui

lt's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost its glow
So take this down in black and white
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
Nothing goes right

When Liking Turns To Loving
Composer(s): J. Fishman; K. Young
Performer(s): Ronnie Dove



I hold her hand much tighter now
Stars are shining brighter now and through out the day I find
She's always on my mind
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving

Kiss from her, means so much more
Now I know what kissing for 
The tender smiles I use to know, now I cherish so
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving

Just a little girl, (a little girl) now she's my whole world
Music feels the starlet night, when I kiss and hold her tight
And one day just the way we plan, she'll wear my wedding band
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving

And one day just the way we plan, she'll wear my wedding band
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling 

Ain't No Law In California
Composer(s): Charlie Daniels
Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band



I was hanging in out in L.A. looking for a real cool place to go
I struck up a conversation with this dude wearing hip hop clothes
He said you talk like you're from Texas let me welcome you to our town
An I hope you have a real find day
But don't you let me catch you when the sun goes down

We got scalawags we got queens in drag we got pushers pimps and punks
We got crips and bloods we got dykes and studs
We've got junkies thieves and drunks
This is where the juice got turned aloose and if you ain't caught on yet
Ain't no law in California
Welcome to the wild wild west

He said there's women in this city that are just too low down to crawl
And homeboys packing pieces they'll shoot you just to watch you fall
You'ld better get on back to Hicksville that's the bast thing you can do
There's hustlers hoods and outlaws that'd love to find a country boy like you

We got scalawags we got queens in drag we got pushers pimps and punks
We got crips and bloods we got dykes and studs
We've got junkies thieves and drunks
This is where the juice got turned aloose and if you ain't caught on yet
Ain't no law in California
Welcome to the wild wild west

When Lights Are Low
Composer(s): Spencer Williams; Benny Carter
Performer(s): Benny Carter;
and various other artists



Sweet music soft and mellow
Soothing and low
Strains of a mellow cello
When lights are low

Dear, we're so close together
I love you so
Why think about the weather
When light are low

Two hearts revealing
Music hath charms
Life's so appealing
With inspiration in your arms

Our lips meeting soft and tender
Loves all aglow
Why shouldn't we surrender
When lights are low

Two hearts revealing
Music hath charms
Life's so appealing
With inspiration in your arms

Our lips meeting soft and tender
Loves all aglow
Why shouldn't we surrender
When lights are low 

Ain't No Good Life
Composer(s): Steve Gaines
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



Ain't no good life 
Not the one that I lead 
'Cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah 
It only seems the more that I grieve 
Well I look back on the good times 
As some lost part of me 
I wanna know, tell me why is it so 
Well just because I don't pray 
Lord, that don't mean I ain't forgiven 
Just 'cause I'm alive 
That don't mean I'm makin' a livin' 

I'm gonna get myself together 
I'm gonna try a dyin' attempt 
Talkin' about the good times slippin' by 
Yeah I tell ya 
I don't even know where last month went 
Well I can't make no money baby 
Well 'cause my money's already spent 
And I know where it went 
I said it went on that damn rent 
Well I don't mean change, baby 
I mean foldin' money 
Well I want lovin', said I don't need a buddy 
I don't need nobody, now 

Ain't exactly my idea 
Its sort of old, borrowed and blue 
Just tryin' to say 
Don't try that straight life buddy 
Oh you'll find it kind of hard on you 
Women, don't try to cook nothin' up, ooh 
Brother you know you'll only wind up in your own stew 
Just don't let nobody tell you, oh what you oughta do 

When Julie Comes Around
Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss
Performer(s): The Cuff Links



A poem with no rhyme
A clock without time
A ship without sails, just drifting on the water
That's just how I feel
Whenever she's gone
That's just how I feel
My life's unreal
But I go on (and on, and on...)

I wait till Julie comes around, and sings a happy song of summer
And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder
She smiles a gentle smile
And suddenly I get that feeling, and then
I'm inside out with love
'Cause Julie's come around again

She's just like a bird
She follows the sun
She spread out her wings
And once again she leaves me
It's always the same
I'm broken in two
But after awhile I always know
What I must do...

I wait till Julie comes around, and sings a happy song of summer
And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder
She smiles a gentle smile
And suddenly I get that feeling, and then
I'm inside out with love
'Cause Julie's come around again

When Julie comes around and sings a happy song of summer
And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder ... 

Ain't No Good Chain Gang
Composer(s): Hal Bynum - Dave Kirby
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings & Johnny Cash; Ed Bruce



Bet it ain't rainin' back home
Bet your sister's still on the phone
Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

Yeah, Momma, don't you worry about it none though
Everything's gonna be all right, Momma
They're teaching us a lot of new things in here, Momma
Things like

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

Papa's readin' yesterday's mail
Wishin' that the hay was all baled
I bet he's a-wishin', we could go fishin'
And here I am a-laying in jail

Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now
Everything's gonna be all right, Papa
They're teaching us a lesson a day; we're learning pretty well, too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang ...

When Judy Smiled
Composer(s): Jimmy Dean; Casons
Performer(s): Jimmy Dean



Things would go at their usual pace
The hustle and bustle as we ran life's race
But the world somehow was a prettier place
When Judy smiled

And that's just what Judy'ld always do
She made you feel that it was just for you
And things that were old became shiny and new
When Judy smiled

The lovely hours, such joy, such fun
A glance, a touch and my whole world spun an'
I felt like a Hershey that was left in the sun
When Judy smiled

Then I saw a face that was filled with pain an'
She hadn't known that I was near
But for me, through eyes that were filled with tears
I saw her smile.....
Judy smiled

Oh God why? Why her? Why now?
Why not me? I deserve somehow
But she'd never hurt anyone, she didn't know how
She just smiled, she always smiled

Through life's empty streets I walk
See no faces and I hear no talk
Flesh and blood that's turned to chalk
'Cos she no longer smiles

The blade thrust deep, my life ebbs slow
God please forgive, but
I gotta try to go
To where Judy smiles 

Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire)
Composer(s): Bon Scott - Malcolm Young - Angus Young
Performer(s): AC/DC



The following is a true story
Only the names have been changed
To protect the guilty

Well I left my job in my home town
And I headed for the smoke
Got a rock 'n' roll band and a fast right hand
Gonna get to the top
Nothing's gonna stop us, no nothing

So if you've got the money, we've got the sound
You put it up and we'll put it down
If you've got the dollar, we've got the song
Just wanna boogie woogie all night long
Yeah boogie

I got holes in my shoes
I got holes in my teeth
I got holes in my socks
I can't get no sleep
I'm trying to make a million

And I got patches on the patches
On my old blue jeans
Well they used to be blue
When they used to be new
When they used to be clean

But I've got a Mumma who's a hummer
Just keeping me alive
While I'm in the band doing drinking with the boys
She's working 9 to 5
She knows her place that woman

Just you wait
One of these days see me driving round town
In my Rock 'n' Rolls Royce with the sun roof down
My bottle of booze, no summer time blues
Shouting out, "Look at me" in my rock 'n' roll voice

No it ain't no fun, yeah
Waiting round to be a millionaire
No it ain't no fun
Waiting round to be a millionaire

Do you believe me
It ain't no fun, no
Waiting round to be a millionaire
It ain't no fun, I don't care what they say
Waiting round to be a millionaire

Drive a Rolls Royce car
No it ain't no fun, and you know it
Waiting round to be a millionaire
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, ain't no fun
Waiting round to be a millionaire

Got a million dollar scream
But it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), oh no
No it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), that's what I said
But it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), and I wanna be rich
No it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), ain't no fun digging this bitch
Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire, you better believe me
Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
No it ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
No it ain't no fun (ain't no fun)
No it ain't no fun (ain't no fun)
I ain't having no fun (ain't no fun)
No it ain't no fun (ain't no fun)
Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire, no no
Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
No it ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire

"Hey Hello Howard, how ya doin'?
"Next door neighbour?"
"Oh yeah... Get your fuckin' jumbo jet off my airport"

(Ain't no fun, ain't no fun)
No it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun)
Hey it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun)
No it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun)
Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
No it ain't no fun, no it ain't no fun, ain't no fun
(Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire)

No Doubt About It
Composer(s): Mike Burns - S. Glen - Donny Most
Performer(s): Hot Chocolate



If someone tells you there's no other form of life

And you believe in that too
I'm gonna tell you 'bout the other night

I swear that true
A cloud of white and gren and flying ships I've never seen

Came into my view
Was I frighted
was I scared

Was I thrown into confusion
As they glided down so silently

It wasn't an illusion
Oh
no doubt about it
Oh
no
No doubt about it

What kind of magnetism kept me in this place

Was it out of my control?
What was this ship from out of space?
What was the creature that appeared before my eyes?
Was it good
was it evil

On this ship from other skies?
I was frighted
I was scared

I was thrown into confusion
As they stood right there in front of me

What can they be
no illusion
Oh
no doubt about it
Oh
no
No doubt about it

Stood right there in front of me

What can they be
no illusion
Oh
no doubt about it
Oh
no
No doubt about it

When Joanna Loved Me
Composer(s): Jack Segal; Robert Wells
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists



Today is just another day, tomorrow is a guess
But yesterday, oh, what I'd give for yesterday
To relive one yesterday and its happiness

When Joanna loved me
Every town was Paris
Every day was Sunday
Every month was May

When Joanna loved me
Every sound was music
Music made of laughter
Laughter that was bright and gay

But when Joanna left me
May became December
But, even in December, I remember
Her touch, her smile, and for a little while

She loves me
And once again it's Paris
Paris on a Sunday
And the month is May

First release by: Jennifer Warnes - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



I've loved you for a long, long time
I know this love is real
It don't matter how it all went wrong
That don't change the way I feel
I don't believe that time can heal this wound I'm speaking of
Ah, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love

I'm aching for you baby
I can't pretend I'm not
I love to see you naked
In your body and your thought
I've got you like a habit
Oh I'll never get enough
Ah, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love

There ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love
No cure no drug, it's all been 
I can't get nothing done, and be with anyone
I want your brother love, I want that other love
And no cure for love

I don't expect the melody
Just because the things are rough
And I seem became so careful
To forget how good it were
I've never given in
Oh, I've never given up baby
Ah, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love
Ain't no cure for love
No cure no drug, no no
I can't get nothing done, I can't be with anyone
There ain't no cure for love

Performer(s): Gene Autry;
and various other artists



The twilight shadows deepen into night, dear
The city lights are gleaming o'er the snow
I sit alone beside the cheery fire dear
I'm dreaming dreams from out the long ago
I fancy it is springtime in the mountain
The flowers with their colors are aflame
And ev'ry day I hear you softly saying
"I'll wait until the springtime comes again"

When it's springtime in the rockies
I am coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
With your bonny eyes of blue
Once again I'll say "I love you"
While the birds sing all the day
When it's springtime in the rockies
In the rockies, far away

When it's springtime in the rockies
I am coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
With your bonny eyes of blue
Once again I'll say "I love you"
While the birds sing all the day
When it's springtime in the rockies
In the rockies, far away

I've kept your image guarded in my heart, dear
I've kept my love for you, as pure as dew
I'm longing for the time when I shall come, dear
Back to that dear, old western home and you
I fancy it is springtime in the mountains
The maple leaves in first sky-green appear
I hear you softly say, my queen of Maytime
"This springtime you have come to meet me here"

When it's springtime in the rockies
I am coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
With your bonny eyes of blue
Once again I'll say "I love you"
While the birds sing all the day
When it's springtime in the rockies
In the rockies, far away 

Ain't No Crime
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel



You got to open your eyes in the morning
Nine o'clock comin' with out any warnin'
And you gotta get ready to go
You say you went out late last evenin'
Did a lot of drinkin'
Come home stinkin'
And you went and fell asleep on the floor
And then your lady comes and finds you asleepin'
Starts in to weepin' 'bout the hours you been keepin'
And you better get your ass out the door

Ain't no crime
Say ev'rybody gets that way some time
Ain't no crime
You know it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind
Oh no, it ain't no crime 
Oh

You got to open your eyes in the morning
Nine o'clock comin' with out any warnin'
And you gotta get ready to go
Well now you tell me you love somebody
And you'll love 'em forever
You may love 'em forever
But you won't like 'em all of the time
Well now you tell me you need somebody for the rest of your life
You might have somebody
But you won't want 'em ev'ryday

Ain't no crime
Say ev'rybody gets that way some time
Ain't no crime
Well it's just human nature
Happens all the time
Oh no, it ain't no crime 
Oh

And just as surely as the wind keeps blowin'
The grass keeps growin'
You gotta keep goin'
And the Lord have mercy on your soul

When It's Springtime In Alaska (It's Forty Below)
Composer(s): Tillman Franks; Johnny Horton
Performer(s): Johnny Horton;
and various other artists



I mushed from Point Barrow through a blizzard of snow
Been out prospectin' for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon

As I walked in the door the music was clear
The purtiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

(When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below)

It was Redheaded Lil who was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune
We did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon

With a caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug
We did our dance on a kodiak rug
The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

I was as innocent as I could be
I didn't know Lil was big Ed's wife to be
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below

(When it's springtime in Alaska, he'll be six feet below)
