The Alligator Pond Went Dry
Composer(s): Victoria Spivey
Performer(s): Victoria Spivey



Folks, I'm telling you something that I saw with my own eyes
As I passed the pond one day
The old alligator was teaching his babies to do the Georgia Grind
And I heard one of them say
"This is a social 
But the alligator pond's going dry 
Yes, it is a social
But the alligator pond's going dry!" 
Now, old Mister Alligator, he got way back 
He said, "Look out, children, I'm going to throw it off my back" 
Oh, it was a social
But the alligator pond went dry! 
Lord, it must have been a social 
For the alligator pond went dry
Oh, it must have been a social 
For the alligator pond to go dry! 
Now, old Mister Alligator, he got real hot 
He said, "We're gonna have this function whether there's water or not!" 
Oh, it was a social 
For the alligator pond went dry! 
Lord, if you don't believe what I'm saying, ask old Alligator Jack 
Wasn't a drop of water in the pond when he got back 
It was a social
But the alligator pond went dry! 

Call Me Mr. In-Between

(Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between)
(Pickin's mighty lean, Mr. In-Between)

Well, I'm too old for girls and I'm too young for women
I've looked all around and my hopes are a-dimmin'
I feel like a fish not allowed any swimmin'
And it makes a fella mean
To feel he's a part of the Lost Generation
I feel like a choo-choo that can't find the station
I work like a dog with no recreation
They call me Mr. In-Between

(Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between)
(Makes a fella mean, Mr. In-Between)

Got a hotrod Chevy with a twin carburetor
And I know a gal that's a real sharp tomater
And she's got a Daddy with a Caddy that'll date 'er
You see what I mean
Those sweet little things just set me a-droolin'
I'm too big for sodas and I'm too old for schoolin'
Too young for lovin' but I'm too old for foolin'
They call me Mr. In-Between

(Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between)
(Tries to live so clean, Mr. In-Between)

I feel like a sailboat kept in a bottle
I feel like an engineer that can't find the throttle
I'm too small to walk but I'm too big to toddle
And, Lordy, I'm turnin' green
To see all the men makin' time with the ladies
The high school kids at the show with their babies
While I run around like a dog with the rabies
They call me Mr. In-Between

(Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between)
(Better leave the scene, Mr. In-Between)

The All American Boy
Composer(s): Bill Parsons - Orville Lunsford - Bobby Bare
Performer(s): Bobby Bare; Bill Parsons



Gather 'round, cats, and I'll tell you a story 
About how to become an All American Boy
Buy you a gittar and put it in tune
You'll be rockin' and rollin' soon
Impressin' the girls, pickin' hot licks, and all that jazz

AAhhh bought me a gittar a year ago 
Learned how to play in a day or so
And all around town it was well understood
That I was knockin' 'em out like Johnny B. Goode
Hot licks, showin' off, ah number one.

Well, I 'd practice all day and up into the night
My papa's hair was turnin' white
'Cause he didn't like rock'n'roll
He said "You can stay, boy, but that's gotta go"
He's a square, he just didn't dig me at all

So I took my gittar, picks and all
And bid farewell to my poor ole pa
And I split for Memphis where they say all
Them swingin' cats are havin' a ball
Sessions, hot licks and all, they dig me

I was rockin' and boppin' and I's a gettin' the breaks
The girls all said that I had what it takes
When up stepped a man with a big cigar 
He said "come here, cat--I'm gonnna make you a star"
"I'll put you on Bandstand, buy ya a Cadillac, sign here, kid"

I signed my name and became a star 
Havin' a ball with my gittar
Driving a big long Cadillac and fightin' the girls off ma back
They just kept a'comin', screamin', yeah-they like it

So I'd pick my gittar with a great big grin
And the money just kept on pourin' in
But then one day my Uncle Sam

He said (tap...tap...tap) "Here I am"
"Uncle Sam needs you, boy 
I'm-a gonna cut your hair
Ah-Take this rifle, kid
Gimme that gittar"
Yeah

See that girl who's smiling so brightly
Well I reckon she's cool and I reckon rightly
She's good looking and I ain't frightened

My XKE is shining so brightly
The noose around us is slowly tightening
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning

Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly
My XKE is shining so brightly
The noose around us is slowly tightening

No you can't catch me, no you can't catch me

Performer(s): Billy Murray

I love my country, 'deed I do
But oh, that war has made me blue
I like fightin', that's my name
But fightin' is the least about the fightin' game

When Mister Hoover said to cut my dinner down
I never even hesitate, I never frown
I cut my sugar, I cut my coal
But now they dug deep in my soul

I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got the alcoholic blues
No more beer, my heart to cheer
Goodbye whiskey, you used to make me frisky
So long highball, so long gin
Oh, tell me when you comin' back agin

Blues, I've got the blues
Since they amputated my booze
Lordy, Lordy, war is well
You know I don't have to tell
I've got the alcoholic blues
Some blues, I've got the blues

Prohibition that's the name
Prohibition drives me insane
I'm so thirsty, soon I'll die
I'm simply goin' to 'vaporate, I'm just that dry

I wouldn't mind to live forever in a trench
Just if my daily thirst they only let me quench
And not with Bevo or Ginger Ale
I want the real stuff by the pail

I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got the alcoholic blues
No more beer, my heart to cheer
Goodbye whiskey, you used to make me frisky
So long highball, so long gin
Oh, tell mw when you comin' back agin

Blues, I've got the blues
Since they amputated my booze
Lordy, Lordy, war is well
You know, I don't have to tell
I've got the alcoholic blues
Some blues, I've got the blues

Muchos vientos me han quitado ya

Mil amores he vivido ya
Muchos golpes he sufrido ya
Para que me finjas sensaciones y emociones

Muchos soles han quemado ya
La piel de mi garganta
Muchas lunas he visto pasar
Mientras que yo soñaba
Mil amores he vivido ya

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
can't think of anything I need...

no cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
nothing to eat, no books to read
making love with you
has left me peaceful, warm and tired
what more could I ask
there's nothing left, to be desired
peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
so sleep, silent angel
go to sleep...

Sometimes
all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
just to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe...

Peace came upon me
and it leaves me weak
so sleep silent angel
go to sleep...

Sometimes
all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
yes to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
just to love you...

If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender 
Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around 

When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you 

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

If you call I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever 

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me

Performer(s): Tennessee Ernie Ford; Ella Mae Morse



You love me in the sunshine
You hate me in the rain
When old man trouble is hanging 'round
It always seems to rain
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

You said that you'd be true babe
And told me that we'd wed
Now you won't even see me
And I wish that I was dead
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

You double crossed me babe
You know you done it too
You never hug and kiss me
Until the red is due
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

I wish I was an outlaw
I'd draw my gun and fire
I'd fire it at your heart babe
Because you are a liar
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

When Gabriel blows his trumpet
And we shall all arise
There'll be nobody up there
Who'll believe your dirty lies
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

And if you go before me
And find it different there
I know that you'll remember
You did not treat me fair
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

False Faces
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Oil on canvas
Couplets and stanzas
To divine who you are
Pencil portrayals and
Jealous betrayals
Get you further afar

False faces and
Meaningless chases
I travel alone
First places and
Calendar races
I need a home

Hostile hotel walls
Footfalls and phone calls
And you're on the line
Gentle coercions and
Bitter desertions
When the truth is a lie

False faces and
Meaningless chases
I travel alone
First places and
Calendar races
I need a home

Lover twice yearly
That last battle nearly
Cost me the fight
Broke through the ice
And got cut down 
to size
And escaped
through the night

False faces and
Meaningless chases
I travel alone
First places and
Calendar races
I need a home

The Age For Love
Composer(s): Latimer - Wells
Performer(s): Jimmy Charles; Glenda Collins



Too young to be in love, they say
Too young to know the score
When will we come to the age for love
That's what we're waiting for

We know our love would pass the test
If we could have the chance
Well, any age is the age for love
The age for sweet romance

Can we explain 
The true way we feel
How can we show them
Our love is real

Someday we'll find a way to prove
We're not too young at all
They'll realise that the age for love
Is ageless after all

They'll realise that the age for love
Is ageless after all
