You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

You broke my heart when you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

Farewell, goodbye, although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

Farewell, goodbye, although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

When The Rain Tumbles Down In July
Composer(s): Slim Dusty
Performer(s): Slim Dusty;
The Bushwackers; Graeme Connors



Let me wander north to the homestead
Way out further on there to roam,
By a gully in flood, let me linger
When the summery sunshine has flown

Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds
And clouds fill the old northern sky
And the cattle move back from the lowlands
When the rain tumbles down in July

The settlers with sad hearts are watching
The rise of the stream from the dawn,
Their best crops are always in flood reach
If it rises much more they'll be gone

The cattle string out along the fences
The wind from the south races by
And the limbs from the old gums have fallen
When the rain tumbles down in July

The sleeping gums on the hillside
Awaken to herds strayin' by
Here on the flats where the fences have vanished
As the storm clouds gather on high

The wheels of the wagons stop turning
The stock horse is turned out to stray
The old station dogs are a-dozin'
On the husks in the barn through the day

The drover draws rein by the river
And it's years since he's seen it so high
Yes, and that's just a story of homeward
When the rain tumbles down in July

A Lot Of Love ((aka Ain't That A Lot Of Love (by Sam & Dave) - 1968))
Composer(s): Homer Banks, Deanie Parker
First release by: Homer Banks - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I know the desert could hold all the love that I feel in my heart for you
Just like the ocean that started to roll, my love it could be coming to you
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours, it wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better than indescribable
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the bees only knew how sweet you were, darling, they would shut up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is, they'd pack up and fly away
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

When The Rain Begins To Fall
Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson



Like the sand can seep right through your fingers 
so can all your days
As those days go by 
you'll have me there to help you find the way
The way I feel with you I know it's got to last forever
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

Time goes by so fast
You've got to have a dream
To just hold on
All my dreams of love began
With the reality of you
You and I believe
That all our dreams will last forever
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

Though the sun may hide
We still can see
The light that shines for you and me

We'll be together all that we can be
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

Ain't That A Kick In The Head
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
First release by: Dean Martin - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



How lucky can one guy be
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said
Ain't that a kick in the head
The room was completely black
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said quote
Ain't that a hole in the boat
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep grinning
If this is just the beginning
My life is gonna be ...
Beautiful
I've got sunshine enough to spread
It's just like the fella said
Tell me quick
Ain't love a kick in the head
Ain't love a kick in the head
Ain't that a hole in the boat
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep grinning
If this is just the beginning
My life has gotta be
Beautiful
She's telling me that we'd be wed
Man she's picked out a large type bed
I couldn't feel any better
Or I'll be sick
Tell me quick
Please
Tell me quick
Tell me quick
Ain't love a kick, kick in the head

When The Old Oaken Bucket Was New
Composer(s): Joe Cooper; George J. Moriarty



Summer was blooming, old times were looming 
while I closed my eyes
Scenes I love dearly, came back so clearly 
under summer skies
Stars were a gleaming, I was just dreaming
Dreaming, dear of you
Back to the time when you became mine
Just a memory

Life was a pleasure each day a treasure, that I foundly praise
Thoughts of the morrow, never brought sorrow, in those good old days
Back to our childhood, back thro' the wild wood
My thoughts seem to fly
What can compare with those days so rare
Days that never die

When the old oaken bucket was new
That's the first time I made love to you
You turned your head, but you heard all I said
As we sat by the well just we two
We both vowed that our hearts love would flow 
Just as long as the water below
Life is sweet yet, but I'll never forget
When the old oaken bucket was new

Ain't That A Bitch
Composer(s): Desmond Child - Joe Perry - Steven Tyler
Performer(s): Aerosmith



Up in smoke you’ve lost another lover
As you take a hit off your last cigarette
Strung out, burnt out
Yeah you’re down on your luck
And you don’t give a ..
’til the best part of you starts to twitch
Ain’t that a bitch

Freak out! I’m alone now
I feel just like I’m losin’my mind
’cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you’re gonna find
You think you’re high and fine as wine
Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
’cause love is like a wrong turn
On a cold night ... yeah
Ain’t that a bitch

In a daze
In the throes of emotion
You see God in the devil’s eyes
Then you fall so far from grace
You wouldn’t know a kiss
If it was on your face
You can tell it to the jury
But you ain’t got no case

Freak out! I’m alone now
I feel just like I’m losin’my mind
’cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you’re gonna find
The gal was fine as calamine but not
Enough to scratch a seven year itch
’cause love is like the last licks
Outta Hendrix ... yeah
Ain’t that a bitch

Then you feel so out of place
Lickin’up the arsenic
From the same old lace
You know the stuff is poison
But you gotta have a taste

Freak out! I’m alone now
I feel just like I’m losin’ my mind
’cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you’re gonna find
You think you’re high and fine as wine
Then you wind up with your face in the ditch
’cause love is like a warm gun
On a cold night ... yeah
Ain’t that a bitch

I Lived So Fast And Hard
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Mel Tillis



I was raised on cornbread and gravy
And I slept in a cardboard box till I was nearly three
I bathed myself in a muddy river runnin' by our shack
By the time that I had reached thirteen I'd been through hell and back

I've been thrown from pillar to post
I've been banged around and scarred
I've done so much I've seen so much
And I've lived so fast and hard

Mama died when I was young and I never knew my dad
I never had the lovin' care that other children had
I spent five years in an orphan's home, but I ran off one day
And I hoboed an old freight train to San Francisco Bay

I fought in the war, I've been in jail
There ain't much I ain't done
I'd lived as much as any man
Before I was twenty one

I've been thrown from pillar to post
I've been banged around and scarred
I've done so much I've seen so much
And I've lived so fast and hard

The face in the mirror won't stop 
The girl in the window won't drop 
A feast of friends 
"Alive!" she cried 
Waitin' for me 
Outside! 

Before I sink 
Into the big sleep 
I want to hear 
I want to hear 
The scream of the butterfly 

Come back, baby 
Back into my arm 
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around 
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground 

I hear a very gentle sound 
Very near yet very far 

Very soft, yeah, very clear 
Come today, come today 

What have they done to the earth? 
What have they done to our fair sister? 
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her 
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn 
And tied her with fences and dragged her down 

I hear a very gentle sound 
With your ear down to the ground 
We want the world and we want it... 
We want the world and we want it... 
Now 
Now? 
Now! 

Persian night, babe 
See the light, babe 
Save us! 
Jesus! 
Save us! 

So when the music's over

Dance on fire as it intends 
Music is your only friend 
Until the end

Until the end!

Your Mother's Eyes
Composer(s): Mel Tillis
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Mel Tillis



My children come sit here and hold to my hand
For I must tell you something that I don't understand
Lately we've been living in the shadows of surprise
For I'm not the only man in your Mother's eyes

I can't say it's my fault and I won't say it's hers
For I might have neglected when her need for me occured
But we're still a family and must realize
That I'm not the only man in your Mother's eyes

No, I'm not the only man in her eyes anymore
And soon she'll be leavin', walkin' out the door

And things won't be easy with her not around
And the shame that's now with us will be hard to live down
So children bear with me, promise Daddy you'll try
Since I'm not the only man in your Mother's eyes

So children bear with me, promise Daddy you'll try
Since I'm not the only man in your Momma's eyes

When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain
Composer(s): Howard Johnson; Harry Woods
Performer(s): Kate Smith;
and various other artists



All by myself at twilight
Watching the day depart
And with the fading twilight
Happiness fills my heart

When the moon comes over the mountain
Every beam brings a dream, Dear, of you
Once again we stroll neath the mountain
Through that rose-covered valley we knew

Each day is grey and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my mem'ries of you

Each day is grey and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my mem'ries of you

Tennessee Stud
Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood
First release by: Jimmie Driftwood - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



Along about eighteen and twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
I never woulda got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-ridin' on the Tennessee stud

I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud

The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The colour of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

One day I was a-ridin' through a beautiful land
When I ran smack into an Indian band
They jumped their nags with a whoop and a yell
And away we went like a bat outta hell

I circled their camp for a time or two
To show 'em what a Tennessee horse can do
Them Redskin boys couldn't get my blood
'Cause I was a-ridin' on the Tennessee stud

The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The colour of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

We drifted on down into no man's land
We crossed the river called the Rio Grande
I raced my horse with a Spaniard bold
Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold

Me and a gambler we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
We jerked our guns, he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee stud

The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The colour of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

Well I got as lonesome as a man can be
A-dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee
The Tennessee stud's green eyes turned blue
'Cause he was dreamin' of his sweetheart too

We loped right on across Arkansas
I whupped her brother and whupped her Pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was a-ridin' on a Tennessee mare

The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The colour of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide
We came to Big Muddy and we forded the flood
On the Tennessee mare and the Tennessee stud

A pretty little baby on the cabin floor
A little horse colt playin' round the door
I love the girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare

The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The colour of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

When The Midnight Choo Choo Leaves For Alabam'
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ethel Merman & Dan Dailey;
and various other artists



When the midnight choo choo leaves for Alabam'
I'll be right there, I've got my fair
When I see that rusty haired conductor man
I'll grab him by the collar and I'll holler "Alabam'! Alabam'!"

That's where you stop your train, that brings me back again
Down home where I'll remain, where my honey lamb am
I will be right there with bells, when that old conductor yells
"All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for Alabam!"

There she is! There she is!
There's what keeps me up at night
Oh, gee whiz! Oh, gee whiz!
There's why I can't eat a bite
Those flaming eyes! That flaming youth!
Oh, mister oh, sister, tell me the truth...

Ain't she sweet?
See her walking down the street
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?

Ain't she nice
Look her over once or twice
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she nice?

Just cast an eye in her direction
Oh me, oh my, ain't that perfection

I repeat
Don't you think she's kind of sweet
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?

Tell me where, tell me where
Have you seen one just like that
I declare, I declare
That sure is worth looking at

Oh, boy, how sweet those lips must be
Gaze on it, doggonit! Now answer me

Ain't she sweet?
See her walking down the street
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?

Ain't she nice?
Look her over once or twice
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she nice?

Just cast an eye in her direction
Oh me, oh my, ain't that perfection

I repeat
Don't you think she's kind of sweet
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?

When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes 
Composer(s): Brian Holland; Edward Holland Jr.; Lamont Dozier
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes;
Lorraine Silver; Dusty Springfield; The Zombies



He gave me the eye
But I just passed him by
I treated him unkind
But he didn't seem to mind

I told him be on his way
But not a word did he say
He just stood there kind of bold
While I acted cold

But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise I should apologise
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart

So I quickly apologised
Hoping he hadn't changed his mind
But not a word did he say
So I turned to walk away

But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart

When he asked could he walk my way
I hoped sweet things he'd say
Instead he smiled kind of nice
As he held my hand kind of tight

But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart

But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face

Composer(s): Milton Ager - Jack Yellen
Performer(s): Erasmo Carlos & Renato & seus Blue Caps - 1965



No tempo da vovó
Eu queria ser também
Pra ver se o vovô, além da vovó
Beijava mais alguém

Vieram me contar
Que o vovô era assanhado
Por isso, andava sempre
Com a vovó do lado

Não tinha jeito 
De sair fora da linha
Vovó dizia
Que só a ela ele via

Viveram sempre assim
Até que eu nasci
Mas, sempre bons conselhos
Do meu vovô ouvi

When The Lord Closes The Door 
(He Opens A Little Window)
Composer(s): Kinky Friedman; Jeff Shelby
Performer(s): Billy Swan; Kinky Friedman



When I find myself alone in my house and in my head 
And I blow the candles out and I take myself to bed 
And I'm old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know 
When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window

When sleep closes my eyes and sends me searching for you 
And I'm feelin' blue as the sky without your love to carry me through 
And I'm weak enough to be afraid but strong enough to let it show
When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window

Baby I'm a gypsy boy, I'll ride the night until 
I come to you like moonlight through your raggle-taggle window sill

When you find yourself alone in your house and in your head 
And you blow the candles out and you take yourself to bed 
And you're old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know 
When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window

Ain't She Something Else
Composer(s): Jerry Foster - Bill Rice
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



Don't you love the way she talks to you
When she's feeling woman warm
And don't it make you feel so good
Just to know she's yours all by yourself
Don't you like to see the sun go down
When she's lying close to you
And can't you feel her all around
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Ain't she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can't your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain't she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Don't you like the way she clings to you
And loves you 'till there's nothing left
And tell me don't her lips taste good
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Ain't she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can't your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain't she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
When she loves me she's sure something else

When The Lights Go On Again All Over The World
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; Sol Marcus; Eddie Seiler
Performer(s): Vera Lynn;
and various other artists



When the lights go on again all over the world
And the boys are home again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above
A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love"

When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world

When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world

Ain't Quite Right
Composer(s): Paul Stanley
Performer(s): Kiss



You were standin' and I was thinkin'
Of all the time that I spend hangin' around
Situation could only get better
I got closer to see what I found
In the mornin', movin' easy
Everything seems so right
But when the night comes, I've been dreamin'
Dreamin' 'bout leavin' you one more time

Girl, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right

Mmm, no, I won't tell you
That you're the only one for me
And I'd be a liar if I promised
I could give you every single thing you ever need

You gave me good love
But it ain't quite right

Yeah, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right, mmm

Lookin' back now seems so easy
You were the best thing ever happened to me
I can't complain
It was worth every minute we had

'Cause, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right

Yeah, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right
