Love is all, love is all Its the call of each heart And a part of each dream In this world, dear Love is all to desire To enthral and admire Who inspired every soul Love is all

The Little Red Caboose Behind The Train Performer(s): Paul Warmack & His Gully Jumpers
I am growing old and weary And my sight is getting dim I have laid my links and pins away to rust And the only friend that's left to me In this wide world to stand Is the Little Red Caboose Behind The Train
Oh, I'm growing old and feeble now And my sight is getting dim And I cannot see those signals anymore I can hear those whistles blowing And I know I'll soon be going To a better home I know that's far away
There are young ones coming on It is time for me to go They'll be pestered with the rain, the sleet and snow And they'll find a heap of trouble When those hills they have to double With the Little Red Caboose Behind The Train
The Red Rooster Composer(s): Howlin' Wolf First release by: Howlin' Wolf - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
I have a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day I have a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day Keep everything in the barnyard, upset in every way
Oh the dogs begin to bark, and the hound begin to howl Oh the dogs begin to bark, hound begin to howl Ooh watch out strange kind people Cause little red rooster is on the prowl
If you see my little red rooster, please drag him home If you see my little red rooster, please drag him home There ain't no peace in the barnyard Since the little red rooster been gone
Little Sadie ((aka Transfusion Blues (by Johnny Cash) - 1960; Cocaine Blues (by George Thorogood & The Destroyers) - 1978)) (Traditional) First release by: Hedy West - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Went out last night, had a look around I met little Sadie and I blowed her down I ran right home and went to bed With a 45 smokeless under my head
I began to think what a deed I'd done So I grabbed my hat and away I run I made a good run but I ran too slow They overtook me down in Jericho
Standing on the corner ringing my bell When up stepped the sheriff of Thomasville He said young man, is your name Brown? Are you the man that blowed little Sadie down?
Oh yes sir my name is Lee I murdered little Sadie in first degree First degree, second degree You got any papers will you send them to me?
Took me downtown and they dressed me in black They put me on a train and they brought me back Had no-one to go my bail So they crammed me back into the county jail
The judge and jury took their stand The judge had the papers in his hand 41 days and 41 nights And 41 years to wear the ball and stripes

Pretty little Sally You're 6 years old today And it's time you paid attention To what I have to say

Your cat and your doggie Wear no shoes because Your cat and your doggie Don't need shoes for their paws

Love Is A Simple Thing Composer(s): June Carroll - Arthur Siegel Performer(s): Debbie Reynolds
Poets write fancy things about love But they don't have no call Love is like birth or death or taxes Love just is, that's all
Love is a simple thing, love is a silver ring Shiny as a ribbon bow, soft as a quiet snow Love is a nursery rhyme, old as the tick of time Love is so many things, bright as an angel's wings
Gentle as the morning light, long as a winter night Love makes an old heart sing And it fills ev'ry empty space, love is a warming place Love is a simple thing
Love is a simple thing, love is a magic ring Much more fun than mistletoe, gay as a puppet show Love is the thunder and rain, swift as a soaring plane Love is a summer moon, gay as a big balloon
Young as a calliope, wild as a storm at sea Love is a touch of spring It's as sweet as a first embrace, love is a special place Love is a simple thing

Love is a rose but you better not pick it Only grows when it's on the vine Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it Lose your love when you say the word mine

Love Is A Many Splendored Thing ((Spanish Version: El Amor Es Algo Maravilloso (Raphael)) Composer(s): Paul Frances Webster - Sammy Fain Performer(s): The Four Aces - 1955 and multiple other artists
Love is a many splendored thing It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living The golden crown that makes a man a king Once on a high and windy hill In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
Once on a high and windy hill In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
Little Serenade ((French & Italian Versions: Du Moment Qu'on S'aime (Dalida); Piccolissima Serenata (Teddy Reno) - 1957)) Composer(s): Antonio Amurri - Gianni Ferrio - Geoffrey Parsons - John Turner Performer(s): Eddie Calvert and multiple other artists
Just a little street down in Portofino Just a little tune that is softly played Just a boy in love, with a mandolino Just a little moonlight, little serenade
Just a little song he can win her heart with Telling of a love that will never fade Many a romance has been known to start with Just a little moonlight, little serenade
Happy is the boy when he looks up above And he sees that her window is open wide Happy is the boy when she throws a carnation With an invitation to come inside
Just a boy and girl and a mandolino Just a little kiss as the vow is made That's the way it is down in Portofino Just a little moonlight, little serenade
Goodbye Of The Year Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis; Darrell McCall
I can't feel the world between us even though you're by my side So close and yet so far away to hear me say goodnight Your lonely eyes have told me the way you feel inside You could never say goodbye any plainer if you try Congratulation baby for the goodbye of the year You were gone before I had a chance to dry your tears To show my admiration I think it's only fair To say congratulation for the goodbye of the year
To show my admiration I think it's only fair To say congratulation for the goodbye of the year

Love Is A Golden Ring Composer(s): Frank Miller - Richard Dehr - Terry Gilkyson Performer(s): Frankie Laine
Your love and mine, dear, It will shine, dear Just like that golden ring on your finger
Love isn't just for tonight Or two arms that hold me so tight Love is a song that two must learn to sing Love is a golden ring
Love's not a summer romance Or the kiss that follows the dance Love is forever a rare and lasting thing Love is a golden ring
A wedding in the church The happiness and tears The little ring you'll wear Will last through all the years And in our golden days We'll find eternal spring With love and the golden ring
So please won't you wear it for me With faith and sweet charity For lonely lovers lost This message we will bring Love is a golden ring Love is a golden ring Love is a golden ring Love
