Even If It's True Composer(s): Dallas Frazier Performer(s): Ferlin Husky
I refuse to hear the things they say about you I won't let my eyes behold the things you do I don't want to see or hear the things they whisper even if it's true Even if it's true that you've been seen with someone new
Nothing in this world could turn my love away from you All the talk could never make me be ashamed of you even if it's true
Deportees Composer(s): Woody Guthrie - Martin Hoffman Performer(s): Cisco Houston - 1961 and multiple other artists
The crops are all in and the peaches are rott'ning The oranges piled in their creosote dumps They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border To pay all their money to wade back again
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane All they will call you will be "deportees" My father's own father, he waded that river They took all the money he made in his life My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees And they rode the truck till they took down and died Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted Our work contract's out and we have to move on Six hundred miles to that Mexican border They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves
We died in your hills, we died in your deserts We died in your valleys and died on your plains We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes Both sides of the river, we died just the same
The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves? The radio says, "They are just deportees"
Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards? Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit? To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil And be called by no name except "deportees"?
I Can Tell Composer(s): Lefty Frizzell - Abe Mulkey Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell
I can tell by the sun the time of the day I can tell by the moon when you go away But I can tell when I'm holding you there must be someone new There's a love another love I can tell I'm losing you
I can tell by the moon why you come back each time If I could reach the stars I'd know your love was never mine But I can tell by your kisses that it won't be very long That you'll break my heart again I can feel it coming on
I can tell right from wrong I can tell night from day When you're on my mind when you're away But I can tell when I'm holding you there's no love in your heart And it won't be very long that once again we'll be apart
I can tell by the sun the time of the day I can tell by the moon just when you just go away But I can tell by your kisses there must be someone new There's a love another love for I feel I'm losing you
But I can tell by your kisses that it won't be very long That you'll break my heart again I can feel it coming on...
Départ Express Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Pierre Roche Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche
Un jour de mai ou l'ennui me pesait Pour vivre ma vie laissant ce qui m'oppresse J'ai tout quitter sans chagrin sans regret Puisque les voyages forment la jeunesse Aux gens curieux j'ai répondu Destination inconnue
J'ai pris le premier train Qui partait le matin Par hasard dans le train Y'avait une fille très bien Comme le destin veille sur moi gentiment Elle était justement dans mon compartiment Le train en roulant faisait un vacarme infernal Sur la banquette en bois on était plutôt mal Et quand j'ai pris sa main, parlant avec douceur Plus vite que le train allaient mes battements de coeur
D'un ton charmant un peu moqueur En un instant j'ai pris son coeur Puis proposai fort galamment Venez avec moi au wagon-restaurant
Sous le premier tunnel très fort je l'ai serrée Sous le second tunnel un baiser fut volé Puis nous sommes descendus dans une gare inconnue Pour cacher notre amour dans un petit coin perdu
Chose bizarre Un matin par hasard Elle avait dû se lever du mauvais pied Elle m'a dit: - pars! - Moi d'un seul Coup d'un seul J'ai bondi du lit, je me suis habillé
J'ai lui quitté, j'ai tout perdu Destination inconnue
J'ai pris le premier train qui partait le matin J'avais envie de pleurer je ne me sentais pas bien Comme le destin veille sur moi gentiment Elle était revenue dans mon compartiment Le train en roulant faisait un vacarme infernal Sur la banquette en bois on était plutôt mal Et quand elle prit ma main pour se faire pardonner Tout contre mon épaule elle s'est appuyée
J'étais si bien, je ne disais rien Intéressé me laissant griser Je l'écoutais Et je goûtais Les mots très doux que tout bas elle disait
Sous le premier tunnel très fort je l'ai serrée Sous le second tunnel un baiser fut volé Puis nous sommes descendus dans une gare inconnue Pour cacher notre amour dans un petit coin perdu Depuis ce jour nous ne nous sommes jamais quittés Elle devint si gentille qu'elle a su me garder
Working Girl Composer(s): Wes Buchanan Performer(s): Conway Twitty

The King Is Coming Composer(s): Bill Gaither - Gloria Gaither Performer(s): Ray Boltz and multiple other artists
The marketplace is empty No more traffic in the streets All the builders' tools are silent No more time to harvest wheat Busy housewives cease their labors In the courtroom no debate Work on earth is all suspended As the King comes thro' the gate
O the King is coming The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
Happy faces line the hallways Those whose lives have been redeemed Broken homes that He has mended Those from prison He has freed Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow Who were crippled, broken, ruined Clad in garments white as snow
O the King is coming The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
I can hear the chariots rumble I can see the marching throng The flurry of God's trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong Regal robes are now unfolding Heaven's grandstand's all in place Heaven's choir now assembled Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"
O the King is coming The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
All I Need Is You Composer(s): Webb Pierce Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton and multiple other artists
Find the loneliest girl in a thousand Find the saddest eyes you've ever seen Find someone who's always longing for you Find that man and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you To give my loving to all I need is you
Find a man who wakes up every morning And lives in a world of make believe Find someone who's arms are aching for you You find that girl and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you To give my loving to all I need is you
You're with me now so let the world forsake us I've found my heaven here within your arms And nothing in this world can separate us You're all I ever wanted all along
And all I need is you all I want is you To give my loving to all I need is you
Touch Of Yesterday Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens Performer(s): Ferlin Husky and multiple other artists
I'd beg and steal if I could feel a touch of yesterday Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday The rain's been falling since he's been gone It's gonna rain until he come back home The hurt would leave if I could brieve a touch of yesterday (A touch of yesterday) The rain's been falling... Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday
Dentist
Composer(s): Alan Menken - Howard Ashman
Performer(s): Steve Martin & Bill Murray
When I was young and just a bad little kid My momma noticed funny things I did Like shootin' puppies with a BB-Gun I'd poison guppies, and when I was done I'd find a pussy-cat and bash in its head That's when my momma said... (What did she say?) She said my boy I think someday You'll find a way To make your natural tendencies pay...
You'll be a dentist You have a talent for causing things pain! Son, be a dentist People will pay you to be inhumane!
You're temperment's wrong for the priesthood And teaching would suit you still less Son, be a dentist You'll be a success
"Here he is folks, the leader of the plaque" "Watch him suck up that gas Oh My God!" "He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good" "Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis DeSade?"
"Oh, that hurts! Wait! I'm not numb!" "Eh, Shut Up! Open Wide! Here I Come!"
I am your dentist And I enjoy the career that I picked I'm your dentist And I get off on the pain I inflict!
When I start extracting those mollars Girls, you'll be screaming like holy rollers
And though it may cause my patients distress Somewhere...Somewhere in heaven above me... I know...I know that my momma's proud of me "Oh, Momma..."
I Threw Away The Rose Composer(s): Merle Haggard First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Once I lived the life of wine and roses And I drank a lot back then for one concern Success for me lay just around the corner I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me The turn I made was not the one I'd planned And I watched my social standings slip away from me While I watched the bottle slowly take command
And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
Dennis The Menace
Composer(s): Al Hoffman - Dick Manning
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Jimmy Boyd
Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite Oh, the things he says and the things he does Will make you shake with fright (Beware of) Dennis the menace Oh, you'd better be on your toes There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes His mom and dad get nervous Whenever he's too quiet They never know what will happen next A cyclone, flood or rot Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray When he looks at you with those eyes of blue He'll steal your heart away
Last night I got a spanking I don't know what to think 'Cause all I did was fill my water pistol full of ink Now I ask you did mommy have to yell at me like that Just because I watered all those flowers on her hat My daddy love to ride in planes 'Way high up in the sky He didn't see my roller skates And oh boy, did he fly We were playing train with daddy's chair Me and another kid My daddy said, "now, break it up" So that's just what we did
Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite Oh, the things he says and the things he does Will make you shake with fright (Beware of) Dennis the menace Oh, you'd better be on your toes There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes His mom and dad get nervous Whenever he's too quiet They never know what will happen next A cyclone, flood or rot Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray When he looks at you with those eyes of blue He'll steal your heart away
Woman Let Me Sing You A Song Composer(s): Harlan Howard Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell; Waylon Jennings; Vernon Oxford
Woman let me sing you a song Woman let me sing you a song That tells how you've done me wrong So it's your fault if it's long Woman let me sing you a song The neighbors say I run around The neighbors say I run around But baby if I do I'm miles back off you Woman let me sing you a song My banker count is almost gone My banker count is almost gone You're wearing furs and rings while I wear old blue jeans Woman let me sing you a song
You tell your friends I drink too much Now the whole town knows I drink too much But the reason why I drink is the thought you make me think Woman let me sing you a song I'm leaving and you think I'll be back I'm leaving but you think I'll be back Here's my advice to you Don't stop breathing till I do Woman let me sing you a song Woman I done sang you my song Woman I done sang you my song

Then I turned away so my eyes couldn't see His arms were around you where mine used to be You would have laughed if you'd had only seen me Yes I guess I was a funny sight to see Standing there on the street with my heart at my feet Funny but I'm not laughing Funny but I'm not laughing
Denn Wie Man Sich Bettet
Composer(s): Bertolt Brecht - Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Lotte Lenya
Meine Herren, meine Mutter prägte Auf mich einst ein schlimmes Wort Ich würde enden im Schauhaus Oder an einem noch schlimmern Ort Ja, so ein Wort, das ist leicht gesagt Aber ich sage euch: Daraus wird nichts! Das könnt ihr nicht machen mit mir! Was aus mir noch wird, das werdet ihr schon sehen! Ein Mensch ist kein Tier!
Denn wie man sich bettet, so liegt man Es deckt einen da keiner zu Und wenn einer tritt, dann bin ich es Und wird einer getreten, dann bists du
Meine Herren, mein Freund, der sagte Mir damals ins Gesicht "Das Größte auf Erden ist Liebe" Und "An morgen denkt man da nicht" Ja, Liebe, das ist leicht gesagt Aber wenn man täglich älter wird Da wird nicht nach Liebe gefragt Da muß man seine kurze Zeit benützen Ein Mensch ist kein Tier!
Denmark Street Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
Down the way from the tottenham court road Just round the corner from old soho There's a place where the publishers go If you don't know which way to go Just open your ears and follow your nose 'cos the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes You can hear that music play anytime on any day Every rhythm, every way You got to a publisher and play him your song He says 'I hate your music and you hair is too long But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong' You've got a tune it's in your head you want to get it placed So you take it up to a music man just to see what he will say He says 'I hate the tune, I hate the words but I'll tell you what I'll do I'll sign you up and take it round the street and see if it makes the grade' And you might even hear it played on the rock 'n' roll hit parade Daytime, night time, every week you can hear that heavy beat Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet Daytime, night time, every day you can hear that music play
A Little Unfair Composer(s): Hank Cochran - Chuck Howard Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell and multiple other artists
You want me to love just you while you love your share Ain't that being a little unfair It's me stay home while you stay gone till you decide to care Ain't that being a little unfair?
I can't see how it can be anything for me What's mine is yours but what's yours is yours That's how you wanted to be You want me to wait for you till you decide to care Ain't that being a little unfair?
I can't see how it can be anything for me What's mine is yours but what's yours is yours That's how you wanted to be You want me to wait for you till you decide to care Ain't that being a little unfair?...
