Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party (aka "When I Saw Sweet Nellie Home" and "I Was Seeing Nellie Home")
Composer(s): John Fletcher - Frances Kyle
Performer(s): Edison Male Quartette
and multiple other artists



In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight fell
Hush'd the sound of daylight bustle
Closed the pink eyed pimpernell
As adown the moss grown wood path
Where the cattle love to roam
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

When the autumn tinged the greenwood
Turning all its leaves to the gold
In the lawn by elders shaded
I my love to Nellie told
As we stood together gazing
On the star bespangled dome
How I blessed the august evening
When I saw sweet Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

White hairs mingled with my tresses
Furrows steal upon my brow
But a love smile cheers and blesses
Life's declining moments now
Matron in the snowy kerchief
Closer to my bosom come
Tell me do'st thou still remember
When I saw sweet Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn - Peggy Sue
First recording/First release by: Loretta Lynn - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Well you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
But liquor and love that just don't mix, leave a bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

You never take me anywhere because you're always gone
Many a night I've laid awake and cried dear all alone
And you come in a kissin' on, it happens every time
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

Aunque No Esté De Moda
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Hoy de mi hacia ti, hoy de ti hacia mi
quiero hacerte un regalo viejo
Desempolvemos algo las pasiones lejanas
algo de aquellos sueños en ventanas
Vivamos de corrido, sin hacer poesía
aprendamos palabras de la vida

Desnudémonos pues como viejos amantes
que lo mismo de siempre nos quede delante
Desnudémonos pues como viejos amantes
que se apague la luz y que el sol se levante

Te quiero salvar de tu desnudez
en pleno centro de la soledad
Me quiero salvar haciendo revolución
desde tu cuerpo de cristal

Algo nos está pasando, ayer te leí una mano
y cada dibujo al verme me interrogó
Algo no está pasando, ayer apreté el interruptor
de encender la luz y encendí el sol

Hoy de ti hacia mi, hoy de mi hacia ti
vamos a hablar en voz muy baja
Dime lo que te pasa, déjame levantarte
déjame darte un beso y curarte
Vivamos de corrido, sin hacer poesía
aunque no esté de moda en estos días

Aunque no esté de moda te pido una mano
mis entrañas no entienden de estética y cambio
Aunque no esté de moda repite conmigo
quiero amor, quiero amor
quiero amor compartido

Te quiero salvar de tu desnudez
en pleno centro de la soledad
Me quiero salvar haciendo revolución
desde tu cuerpo por variar

Algo nos está pasando, un ruido como de pasos
viene en la oscuridad y se vuelve a ir
Algo nos está pasando, desde que la gente está empeñada
en quererse amar y en poder vivir 

Don't Close Your Eyes
Composer(s): Bob McDill
First release by: Keith Whitley - 1988



I know you loved him a long time ago
Even now in my arms you still want him I know
But darling this time your memories die
When you hold me tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
You'll find more love than you'll ever know
Just hold me tight When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool  holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day that you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight and don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
You'll find more love than you'll ever know
Just hold me tight When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool  holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day that you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight and don't close your eyes

Aunque Mañana No Estés
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



El fallo está tomado 
la condena es este amor 
los jueces de turno eligieron reir 
los hombres más tontos eligen 
los sueños
culpable 
No importa lo que pase 
mi paciencia aguantará 
ansiando las cartas que nunca llegaron 
llorando el aroma del río en tus pechos 
de angel 
Y aunque mañana no estés 
yo silvaré bajito y me morderé los labios
de tanto haberte esperado 
y seguir haciéndolo
Los hombres se someten 
al poder de la pasión 
quisiera explicarte que soy uno más 
quisiera explicarte que son las cadenzas 
del alma
No entiendo la distancia 
como existe y no es real 
soy presa de tu efecto 
soy tonto por ello 
quisiera ser nube y volar hacia el Norte
despacio. 
Y aunque mañana no estés ...

Don't Change On Me
Composer(s): Jimmy Holiday - Eddie Reeves
Performer(s): Ray Charles
and multiple other artists



Girl, you're my sunshine
Chase away the raindrops
Make it all worthwhile
Make all the pain stop
Just like a river
Keep love flowing
Don't let our world stop
Keep it going
I love you just the way you are
Honey, don't change on me
Girl, don't you change on me... girl, don't you change on me... no, no
Girl, you're my lucky star
Honey, don't change on me
Don't change on me... don't change on me
I used to wonder
Where would I find
Some kind of happiness
And peace of mind
I was living in darkness
But then you came
Bringing the sunlight
Easing my pain
I love you just the way you are
Honey, don't change on me
Girl, don't you change on me... girl, don't you change on me... no, no
Girl, you're my lucky star
Honey, don't change on me
Don't change on me... don't change on me
If there's a heaven
Then this is my prayer
Lord knows I want to know you
If we should meet there
And then forever
We'll walk together
Nothing but sunshine
No more stormy weather
I love you just the way you are
Honey, don't change on me
Girl, don't you change on me... girl, don't you change on me... no, no
Girl, you're my lucky star
Honey, don't change on me
Don't change on me... don't change on me

Aujourd'hui Peut-Être
Composer(s): Marcel Sicard - Paul Durand
Performer(s): Fernand Sardou



Devant ma maison y a un pin terrible
Dont la grosse branche pourrait bien tomber
Pour mon pauvre toit, quelle belle cible
Cette branche-là, je vais la couper...

Aujourd'hui peut-être, ou alors demain
Ce sacré soleil me donne la flemme
Je la couperai... té: après-demain
Et si je peux pas la couper moi-même
Je demanderai à l'ami Tonin
Qui la coupera aussi bien lui-même
Ce n'est pas qu'on soit feignant par ici
Mais il fait si chaud dans notre Midi

J'ai de beaux lapins, des lapins superbes
Mais ils ont toujours envie de manger
Il faut tout le temps leur couper de l'herbe
Et je devrais bien leur en ramasser...

Aujourd'hui peut-être, ou alors demain
Ces sacrés lapins me donnent la flemme
Je la couperai... té: après-demain
Et si je peux pas la couper moi même
Hé bé je lâcherai tous mes beaux lapins
Qui la couperont aussi bien eux-mêmes
Ce n'est pas qu'on soit feignant par ici
Mais la terre est basse dans notre Midi

Le soir de mes noces avec Thérèse
Quand on s'est trouvés tout déshabillés
En sentant frémir son beau corps de braise
Je me suis pensé: "je vais l'embrasser"...

Aujourd'hui peut-être, ou alors demain
Moi les émotions, boudiou, ça me rend tout blême
Je l'embrasserai... té: après demain
Et si je peux pas l'embrasser moi-même...
Mais soudain ça m'a pris au petit matin
On est déchaîné chez nous quand on aime
Et deux mois après... j'avais trois petits
Nous sommes les rois dans notre Midi

Don't Cha Stop
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars



Right here I'd like to melt inside of you
Right here your kiss is totally new
Right here your hands are soft and creamy
Right here your mouth is wet and dreamy
And it's just what I like
So dim down the light
Don't cha stop don't cha stop
Don't cha stop don't cha stop
If it makes you feel good
Your rhapsody is blowing my cool
Your fantasies were written for fools
Your long black hair it tickles my skin
Feels so luscious come on do it again

Aujourd'hui C'est Toi
Composer(s): Francis Lai - Pierre Barouh
Performer(s): Francis Lai



Toi et moi
Nous vivons dans la ville
Nos coeurs depuis longtemps
Longtemps
Ont le rythme des rues
Parmi tous ces regards
Qui se croisent et defilent
Les notres par hasard cessent d'etre inconnue

Aujourd'hui c'est toi
Aujourd'hui c'est moi
Aujourd'hui l'amour
Nous a pris par le bras
Et tant pis su ca va trop vite
Puisque l'amour nous invite
vivre eperdument
Ce qui nous attends

August Was A Heavy Month
Composer(s): Bob Geldof
Performer(s): Bob Geldof



I'll take another photograph
Before the old one fades
It reminds me of those things that past
And quickly passed away
But it comes on in the early night

Creeping up on you
Those scenes of devastation
Crushing down on cue
These days are growing colder now
The light is growing dim
August was a heavy month
And now the nights are drawing in
Poor Baby Blue's wrapped up again
Inside her final pain
I'd help her if I could I say
She puts us all to shame
Alright, alright I know I've got a lot
Left to answer for
But am I the only one to blame
And anyway who's keeping score
But the grass seems so much brighter now
She's spilled her blood again
August was a heavy month
Wash it down September rain

Baby Blue picks up her life tonight
And rushes for the Chelsea train
All the stars shine down on her tonight
And August was a heavy month

The photograph is cracked and torn
From being picked up, put down
Like some holy relic
Whose worshippers are found
Searching through their sacred books
For the holy grail of "why"
But the total sum of knowledge
Knows no more than you or I
Alright, alright says Baby Blue
Who doesn't really understand
August was a heavy month
But winter came at last

Don't Call Him A Cowboy
Composer(s): Debbie Hupp - Johnny MacRae - Bob Morrison
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



So you came from New York city and you want to see the sights
You've heard all about those cowboys and those crazy Texas nights
I see you've got your eye on something leaning on the bar
But the toughest ride he's ever had was in his foreign car

Chorus:
So don't call him a cowboy until you've seen him ride
Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots don't tell ya what's inside
No, and if he ain't good in the saddle Lord you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy until you've seen him ride
He's the Hollywood idea of the wild and wooly west
In his French designer blue jeans and his custom tailored vest
You think he's the real thing but I think you oughta know
He can't even make it through a one night rodeo

Aujourd'hui C'est Congé ((aka Tu Chang'ras D'avis (by Les Missiles) - 1963))

C'est jours de vacances on a tous 20 ans
En plus de la chance regarde le beau temps

La main dans la main
Allons, c'est le temps de vivre, toi priez le soleil
Sa chaleur m'enivre 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé

Cheveux dans le vent, filon vite vers la plage
Là dans le ciel
Il y a pas le moindre nuage 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé

Chante avec moi le refrain du temps des vacances
Tout près de toi j'ai le cœur qui danse

Il fait si bon de s'amuser 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé
Filons dans le vent, j'entends l'amour nous appelle
Tout ça s'est un naufrage
La vie est si belle 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé

Chante avec moi le refrain du temps des vacances
Tout près de toi j'ai le cœur qui danse

Il fait si bon de s'amuser
Aujourd'hui c'est congé
Filons dans le vent, j'entends l'amour nous appelle
Tout ça s'est un naufrage
La vie est si belle 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé

Aujourd'hui c'est vraiment congé
Congé, congé

August Evening Lady
Composer(s): B.W. Stevenson
Performer(s): B.W. Stevenson



And in the middle of an August evening
You can't see her fly
The times when she was believin'
Love is showin' in his eyes
He sang her songs of givin'
He sang her songs of life
Till the day he dropped by just to say goodbye
Please don't leave me alone
Please believe me
I'll die if you are gone
And the clouds will have passed by her window
Could not stay by her side
The (new of love ???) she worshipped
She had no time to cry
She loved him in the mornings
And in the evenings too
Till the day he dropped by
To say I don't need you
It ain't me it's the times
It ain't you in my mind
I just got to leave you behind
Please don't leave me alone
Please believe me
I'll die if you are gone

Don't Bury Me 'Til I'm Ready
Performer(s): Johnny Paycheck



Don't bury me 'til I'm ready 
Don't try to say I'm gonna be missed 
Don't wave me goodbye, son, I'll spit in your eye 
'Cause I ain't going out like this
Don't wave me goodbye, son, I'll spit in your eye 
'Cause I ain't going out like this 

They tell me I'm too old to cut the mustard 
That I should go and rest a spell 
They say that I'll be dead any day now 
But they don't know this old boy too well
I've spent all my life on the bottom 
But by the grace of God I'm going to go out on the top 

But by the grace of God I'm going to go out on the top

Auf wiedersehen, sweetheart

Auf wiedersehen, auf wiedersehen
We'll meet again, sweetheart
This lovely day has flown away
The time has come to part

We'll kiss again, like this again
Don't let the teardrops start
With love that's true, I'll wait for you
Auf wiedersehen, sweetheart

Auf Wiederseh'n, My Dear
Composer(s): Al Goodhart - Al Hoffman - Eric Nelson - Milton Ager
Performer(s): Jerry Vale
and multiple other artists



It happened in Vienna
If you were there you'd see
Two lovers in the moonlight beneath the linden tree
Sweet violins are playing
And to his love forever saying

Come let us go down lovers lane
Once more to sing love's own refrain
Though we must say auf wiedersehen
Auf wiedersehen, my dear

Here in your arms I can't remain
So let me kiss you once again
Soon we must say auf wiedersehen
Auf wiedersehen, my dear

Your love will cling to me through the lonely daytime
Each night will bring to me the magic memory of May-time

I know my heart won't beat again
Until the day we meet again
Sweetheart, goodbye, auf wiedersehen
Auf wiedersehen, my dear

Your love will cling to me through the lonely daytime
Each night will bring to me the magic memory of May-time

I know my heart won't beat again
Until the day we meet again
Sweetheart, goodbye, auf wiedersehen
Auf wiedersehen, my dear

Don't Bring Lulu
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Billy Rose - Ray Henderson
Performer(s): Ernest Hare & Billy Jones
and multiple other artists



Your presence is requested, wrote little Johnny White
But with this invitation, there is a stipulation
When you attend this party, you'll be treated right, but
There's a wild and wooly woman you boys can't invite, now...

You can bring Pearl, she's a darn nice girl, but don't bring Lulu
You can bring Rose with the turned up nose, but don't bring Lulu
Lulu always wants to do, what we boys don't want her to
When she struts her stuff around, London bridge is falling down
You can bring cake or Porterhouse steak, but don't bring Lulu
Lulu gets blue and she goes cuckoo like the clock on the shelf
She's the kind of smartie who breaks up every party
Hullabalooloo, don't bring Lulu, I'll bring her myself

We all went to the party, real high-toned affair
Then along came Lulu, wild as any Zulu
She started into Charleston, and how the boys did stare, but
When she did the hula-hula, then she got the air, now...

You can bring Pearl, she's a darn nice girl, but don't bring Lulu
You can bring Rose with the turned up nose, but don't bring Lulu
Lulu always wants to do, what we boys don't want her to
When she struts her stuff around, London bridge is falling down
You can bring cake or Porterhouse steak, but don't bring Lulu
Lulu gets blue and she goes cuckoo like the clock on the shelf
She's the kind of smartie who breaks up every party
Hullabalooloo, don't bring Lulu, I'll bring her myself

Auf Wiedersehn Fräulein
Composer(s): J. Fred Helf



Fräulein mine, the silvry Rhine is gleaming in the moonlight
The trumpets blast Has come at last 
Upon this silent June night
Your tear dimmed eyes like star lit skies
Look into mine with yearning 
They plead in vain
Auf Wiedersehn
Some day I'll be returning

Fräulein mine, though stars may shine
And foaming steins be clinking
By campfires bright
A toast each night 
To you I will be drinking
No dark eyed maid I'll serenade
Our tale of love to hinder 
To each I'll vow 
I've got a Frau
And half a dozen kinder

There's a smile on your lips Fräulein darling 
There are tears in your eyes of blue 
And the sound of the trumpet is calling
Fare thee well, fare thee well to you
Though we part, still my heart will be yearning 
Till we meet by the beautiful Rhine
Fräulein mine, for Auld Lang Syne 
down by the Rhine we'll drink a stein 
Auf Wiedersehn, Fräulein!
