Let's Fall In Love ((French Version: Est-Ce Par Hasard (by Dave) - 1977)) Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Ted Koehler First performance: Art Jarrett - 1933 Covered by multiple other artists
Let's fall in love Why shouldn't we fall in love? Our hearts are made of it Let's take a chance Why be afraid of it?
Let's close our eyes And make our own paradise Little we know of it Still we can try To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love Why shouldn't we fall in love? Now is the time for it While we are young Let's fall in love
We might have been meant for each other To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love Why shouldn't we fall in love? Now is the time for it While we are young Let's fall in love
Ja, det brevet, den som skrev det, hon har vilat i min famn Det var Britta (jag nämner inte något efternamn) Det kan kvitta, skriver Britta, om jag vänta får ett år när jag vet att ditt hjärta för mig slår
Du som sovit i halm och som vaknat i kvalm Och som sjunger i soluppgången krigarn's morgonpsalm där i ledet du går, där du spejande står tänk på Britta som snart du kyssa får
Hör soldaterna, kamraterna med knatter och med knall hör, på fält och i skogar tonar truppens glada trall Över krigarna på stigarna och lottorna i byn stiger flyget som örnar emot skyn
Du som sovit i halm och som vaknat i kvalm Och som sjunger i soluppgången krigarn's morgonpsalm där i ledet du går, där du spejande står tänk på Britta som snart du kyssa får
Kan du hitta, skriver Britta, en som har dig mera kär? Kan du drömma hur ömma mina känslor för dig är? Som den bölja du ser skölja stranden av vårt fria land smyger Britta sig mjukt uti din famn
Du som sovit i halm och som vaknat i kvalm Och som sjunger i soluppgången krigarn's morgonpsalm där i ledet du går, där du spejande står tänk på Britta som snart du kyssa får

There may be trouble ahead But while there's music and moonlight And love and romance Let's face the music and dance Before the fiddlers have fled Before they ask us to pay the bill And while we still have that chance Let's face the music and dance Soon, we'll be without the moon Humming a different tune, and then There may be teardrops to shed So while there's music and moonlight And love and romance Let's face the music and dance
Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these But of all the worlds great heroes Theres none that can compare With a tow, row row row, row row row To the British Grenadiers
None of these ancient heroes neer saw a cannon ball Nor knew the force of powder to slay their foes with all But our brave boys do know it and banish all their fears Sing tow, row row row, row row row For the British Grenadiers
When eer we are commanded to storm the palisades Our leaders march with fuses, and we with hand grenades We throw them from the glacis about the enemies ears Sing tow, row row row, row row row For the British Grenadiers
And when the siege is over, we to the town repair The townsmen cry Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears Sing tow, row row row, row row row For the British Grenadiers
So let us fill a bumper, and drink a health to those Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the louped clothes May they and their commanders live happy all their years Sing tow, row row row, row row row For the British Grenadiers

Let's Have Another Cup O' Coffee Composer(s): Irving Berlin First performance/First recording by: J. Harold Murray & Katherine Carrington - 1932/Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians - 1932 and multiple other artists
Why worry when skies are gray Why should we complain Let's laugh at the cloudy day Let's sing in the rain Songwriters say the storm quickly passes That's their philosophy They see the world through rose-colored glasses Why shouldn't we?
Just around the corner There's a rainbow in the sky So let's have another cup o' coffee And let's have another piece o' pie!
Trouble's just a bubble And the clouds will soon roll by So let's have another cup o' coffee And let's have another piece o' pie
Let a smile be your umbrella For it's just an April show'r Even John D. Rockefeller Is looking for the silver lining
Mister Herbert Hoover Says that now's the time to buy So let's have another cup o' coffee And let's have another piece o' pie!
[Alternate Lines:] Things that really matter Are the things that gold can't buy

Quand c'est tout gris dans ta tête Choisi les pôles où tu veux te poser Sans défense Laisse faire la musique et danse

Laisse faire la musique et danse Avant que les musiciens ne filent Ou changent de style Laisse faire la musique et danse
Toutes les pauvres peines d'amour Il faudrait plus d'un tour d'enfer Pour que tes chagrins s'arrêtent Choisi les pôles où tu veux te poser sans défense Laisse faire la musique et danse

Chorus
The maids of Toomancie they look so entrancing Like bawling young heifers they're out for their fun With the waltz and the polka and all kinds of dancing To the rackety old banjo of Henry Gunn
Chorus
Then on to Nanango, that hard-bitten township Where the out-of-work station-hands sit in the dust Where the shearers get shorn by old Tim, the contractor Oh, I wouldn't go near there, but I flaming well must!
Chorus
Then fill up your glasses, and drink to the lasses We'll drink this town dry, then farewell to them all And when we've got back to the Augathella Station We hope you'll come by there and pay us a call

Bringing Mary Home Composer(s): John Duffey; Joe Kingston; Chaw Mank Performer(s): The Country Gentlemen and various other artists
I was driving down a lonely road, on a dark and stormy night A little girl by the roadside showed up in my head lights I stopped and she got inside and in a shaky tone She said my name is Mary, please won't you take me home
She must have been so frightened, all alone there in the night There was something strange about her, for her face was deathly white She sat so pale and quite in the back seat all alone I never will forget the night, I took Mary home
I pulled into the driveway, where she told me to go Got out to help her from the car, opened up the door I just could not believe my eyes, the back seat was bare I looked all around the car, but Mary wasn't there
A light shone from the porch, someone opened up the door I asked about the little girl was looking for Then the lady gently smiled, brushed the tears away She said it sure was nice of you to go out of your way
But thirteen years ago today, in a wreck just down the road Our darling Mary lost her life, how we miss her so Thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shown You're the 13th one that's been here bringing Mary home

Bringing In The Sheaves Composer(s): Knowles Shaw; George A. Minor Performer(s): Rose Maddox
Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows Fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze By and by the harvest, and the labor ended We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master Though the loss sustained our spirit often grieves When our weeping's over, He will bid us welcome We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
