Letters Have No Arms

Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
and multiple other artists



I just got your letter dearest sweetheart
And darlin’, I miss you, oh, so much
Your letter has cheered me but I’m lonesome
Lonesome just to feel you lovin’ touch

Letters have no arms to hold me
Kiss on paper are so cold
These sweet things that you write in your letters
I want to be with you dear when told

Letters never bring me the touch of your hand
Or none of your sweet lovin’ charms
I get so lonesome for you darlin’
And you know that Letters Have No Arms

Letters have no arms to hold me
Kiss on paper are so cold
These sweet things that you write in your letters
I want to be with you dear when told

Letters never bring me the touch of your hand
Or none of your sweet lovin’ charms
I get so lonesome for you darlin’
And you know that Letters Have No Arms

Brown Eyed Handsome Man

Covered by various other artists



Arrested on charges of unemployment
he was sitting in the witness stand 
The judge's wife called up the district attorney 
Said you free that brown eyed man 
You want your job you better free that brown eyed man 

Flying across the desert in a TWA 
I saw a woman walking across the sand 
She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay
To get a brown eyed handsome man 
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man 

Way back in history three thousand years 
Back every since the world began 
There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear 
For a brown eyed handsome man 
That's what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man 

Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind 
Between a doctor and a lawyer man 
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself 
A brown eyed handsome man 
That's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man 

Milo Venus was a beautiful lass 
She had the world in the palm of her hand 
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match 
To get brown eyed handsome man 
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man 

Two, three count with nobody on 
He hit a high fly into the stand 
Rounding third he was headed for home 
It was a brown eyed handsome man 
That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man 

Letter B
Composer(s): Christopher Cerf
Performer(s): The Sesame Street Beetles



When I find I can't remember
What comes after
"A" and before "C"
My mother always whispers
"Letter B"

She told me "B" starts
"Big" and "bird" and
"Ball" and "bat" and "battery"
Yes, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh means
Letter B

Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
She whispers "Buh-buh-buh means Letter B"

And when I feel downhearted
Mother whispers
"B" words constantly
Like "bib," "Bob," "Bulb," and "bubble"
Letter B

Now in my hour of darkness
There's a sound I know will comfort me
It's the buh-buh-buh-buh-buh of
Letter B

Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
My mother whispers "B" words
Letter B

Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
My mother whispers "B" words
Letter B

Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
Bless the "buh-buh" sound of
Letter B

Everything to keep me from sleeping
A lot of sailor boys they were leaving
And everybody there was jumping
To hear the sailor boys in Alcora singing

Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
I'm going away in a sailing boat
And if I don't come back
Stay home and mind baby

Now the Americans made an invasion
We thought it was a help to the island
Until they left from here on vacation
They left the native boy here to mind their children

Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby ....

Now I tell you the story bout Millie
She made a nice blue eyed baby
And they say she fancy the mother
But the blue eyed baby ain't know she father

Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby ....

Now the Americans all have their pleasure
While the music play to their leisure
Everybody there they were jumping
To hear the sailor boys in Alcora singing

Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
I'm going away in a sailing boat
And if I don't get back
Stay home and mind baby

Hey, where did we go 
Days when the rains came? 
Down in the hollow 
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping 
In the misty morning fog with 
Our, our hearts a-thumping 
And you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened 
To Tuesday and so slow 
Going down to the old mine with a 
Transistor radio 
Standing in the sunlight laughing 
Hide behind a rainbow's wall 
Slipping and a-sliding 
All along the waterfall 
With you, my brown-eyed girl 
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing 
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah 
Just like that 
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah 
La dee dah

So hard to find my way 
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown! 
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about 
Making love in the green grass 
Behind the stadium 
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing 
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah 
Laying in the green grass 
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah 
Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee

(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home

(JR) 
Notice that we’re coming to the crossroads
Should we turn to left or right?
(DD) Mother is a-rockin’ and a-waitin’
But it’s such a lovely night

(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home

(JR) 
Well, don’t you think the valley road is shorter?
We could save about a mile

(DD) 
And now and then the short road can be longer
If you linger for a while

(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home

(JR) 
Can’t you see the night is just beginning
And the moonlight weaves a spell
(DD) We can take the road among the daisies
You know daisies never tell

(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home

(JR) 
I got an awful lot of tender words to whisper
Little ol’ words like “I love you”
(DD) Everything you say is so convincing
Yes, that’s what we ought to do

(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home

(DD & JR)
Leads to home
That-a-way only leads to home

I can see you're not happy the way you've been acting 
And I think you'd like to be free 
I know he's a good man but I know that you can be a whole lot happier with me
In your eyes there's a yearning and inside you're a burnin' 
And I'd like to put out the flame 
So let's get together like birds of a feather and we let the love take the blame 

But right now I don't think that I can leave him 
For lately he's been so good to me 
And there might be once more chance that things might work out 
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see 

But wait I can make you forget him cause I'll take you 
To places that you've never been 
We'll make all the night spots the dim and the bright spots 
And then we'll forget where we've been 
We'll walk sunny beaches and taste Georgia peaches 
and swing from Maine to Mexico 
If you'll come along we can make life a song 
and you won't be tied down anymore 

But still I don't think that I can leave him 
For lately he's been so good to me 
And there might be once more chance that things might work out 
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see 
Yes let's wait a little longer then we'll see

English Title: Brothers In Arms
Performer(s): Ricky Gianco



Questa nebbia montana
la mia casa sarà
quella vera è lontana
e non mi vedrà
se faremo ritorno
in salvo alle pianure
non avremo più voglia
di altre avventure

Battezzato col fuoco
nessuna pietà
ho sofferto ho vissuto
la mia fragilità
e se mi hanno ridotto così
le paure, gli allarmi
voi fratelli di guerra
saprete aiutarmi

Il nemico è uguale a noi
nemmeno lui lo sa
perché squarciamo in due
una sola umanità

Sotto un sole d'inferno
e una luna di ghiaccio
non dirò mai addio
perché non ce la faccio
ma lo leggo nel cielo lassù
non è questa la via
ammazzare i fratelli
è un'assurda follia

Brothers In Arms
Italian Title: Fratelli Di Guerra
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Originally performed by: Dire Straits



These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
