Don't Cry Blue
Composer(s): Malcolm McKinney
Performer(s): Jonathan Edwards; The Lonesome River Band
I heard them engines runnin' On the road away from home Sound like thunder callin' out my name Well I listened hard the first time That I heard 'em roll along I listened and I'd never been the same
Well, don't cry, cry, Blue 'Cause I'm comin' home to you Well, I walked with you this mornin' And I'll sleep with you tonight Don't cry, cry, Blue
A highway's just a two lane road Connecting either way Oh, I've seen enough of this end for awhile But I've got to go the distance Till I know I've seen a change I've got to know the feel of every mile
Well, don't cry, cry, Blue 'Cause I'm comin' home to you Well, I walked with you this mornin' And I'll sleep with you tonight Don't cry, cry, Blue
Don't cry, cry, Blue 'Cause I'm comin' home to you Well, I walked with you this mornin' And I'll sleep with you tonight Don't cry, cry, Blue
When my head is achin' Full of everywhere I've been Oh, I've turned my face around the other way Well, I'll meet you at the mailbox Read you all my cards Tell you what I really meant to say
Well, don't cry, cry, Blue 'Cause I'm comin' home to you Well, I walked with you this mornin' And I'll sleep with you tonight Don't cry, cry, Blue Well, don't cry, cry, Blue, don't cry

Don't Cross The River Composer(s): Dan Peek Performer(s): America; Garth Brooks
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own She's got a broken heart She's not the kind to take you down for long She knows and plays it smart
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark She feels like leavin' and she don't know why Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side All your life You were on your own
If you want you can ride my train And soon forget the reason that you're leaving You'll lose yourself and then sometime Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide...

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)
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)) ((Adapted from: Bad To Me (by Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas) - 1963)) Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney Performer(s): Pierre Lalonde - 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 cur 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 cur 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
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
