The Soldier's Almanac Bible And Prayer Book ((aka Deck Of Cards (Phil Harris) - 1948 The Red Deck Of Cards (Red River Dave McEnery) - 1954; A Hillbilly's Deck Of Cards (Ferlin Husky) - 1966; Cards Spiritualised)) ((Dutch Version: Het Spel Kaarten (Cowboy Gerard & De Rodeo Riders - 1965)) Composer(s): T. Texas Tyler
Richard Middleton, a soldier, attending divine service with the rest of the regiment at a church in Glasgow instead of pulling out a Bible, like his brother soldiers, to find the parson's text spread a pack of cards before him This singular behaviour did not long pass unnoticed both by the clergyman and the sarjeant of the company to which he belonged The latter in particular requested him to put up the cards, and on his refusal conducted him after church before the Mayor to whom he preferred a formal complaint of Richard's indecent behaviour during divine service "Well soldier!" said the Mayor, "what excuse have you for this strange scandalous behaviour?" If you can make any apology, or assign any reason for it, it's well If you cannot, assure yourself that I will cause you, without delay, to be severely punished for it" "Since your honour is so good," replied Richard, "I will inform you I have been eight days on march, with a bare allowance of sixpence a day which your honour will allow is hardly sufficient to maintain a man in meat, drink, washing and other necessaries that consequently he may want, without a Bible, Prayer Book, or any other good book" On saying this, Richard drew out his pack of cards, and presenting one of the aces to the Mayor continued his address to the magistrate as follows
"When I see an Ace, may it please your honour, it reminds me that there is only one God And when I look upon a Two or a Three, the former puts me in mind of the Father and Son and the latter of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost A Four calls for remembrance the Four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John A Five, the five wise Virgins who were ordered to trim their lamps There were ten, indeed, but five, your worship may remember, were wise, and five were foolish A Six, that in six days God created heaven and earth A Seven, that on the seventh day he rested from all that he had made An Eight, of the eight righteous persons preserved from the deluge viz., Noah, and his wife, with his three sons and their wives A Nine, of the Nine lepers cleansed by our Saviour There were ten, but only one returned to offer his tribute of thanks And a Ten, of the ten commandments that God gave Moses, on Mount Sinai, on the two tablets of stone" He took the Knave and put it aside "When I see the Queen, it puts me in mind of the Queen of Sheba who came from the furthermost parts of the world to hear the wisdom of Solomon For she was as wise a woman as he a man, for she brought fifty boys and fifty girls all clothed in girls' apparel to shew before King Solomon, for him to test which were boys and which were girls But he could not until he called for water to wash themselves The girls washed up to their elbows, and the boys only up to the wrists of their hands, so King Solomon told by that And when I see the King, it puts me in mind of the great King of Heaven and Earth, which is God Almighty And likewise his Majesty King George the Fourth, to pray for him" "Well," said the Mayor, "you have given a good description of all the cards except one, which is lacking" "Which is that?" said the soldier "The Knave," said the Mayor "If your honour will not be angry with me," returned Richard, "I can give you the same satisfaction on that as any in the pack?" "No," said the Mayor "Well," returned the soldier, "the greatest knave that I know is the sarjeant who brought me before you" "I don't know," replied the Mayor, "whether he be the greatest knave or no; but I am sure that he is the greatest fool"
The soldier then continued as follows "When I count the number of dots in a pack of cards, there are 365, so many days as there are in a year When I count how many cards are in a pack, I find there are 52, so many weeks are there in a year When I reckon how many tricks are won by a pack, I find there are 13, so many months are there in a year So that this pack of cards is both Bible, Almanac, and Prayer Book to me"
The Mayor called his servants, ordered them to entertain the soldier well, gave him a piece of money and said he was the cleverest fellow he ever heard in his life
C'est Moi Qui Pars Composer(s): A.M. Gaspard - Claude Barzotti Performer(s): Claude Barzotti
Quand je rentrais à la maison J'étais fatigué mais heureux C'était comme un anti-poison C'est quelques jours en amoureux
Tu n'es plus celle que j'aimais Tu parles d'argent, de rupture On dirait que tu as changé Plus que moi dans cette aventure
C'est plus la peine de crier De menacer, de faire la gueule Trop c'est trop, je peux plus t'écouter Te plaindre d'être toujours seule
C'est plus la peine de me dire Que je ne suis qu'un égoïste Que c'est seul, que je vais finir Que tu n'aimes plus les artistes
C'est moi qui pars, c'est moi qui pars J'emporte ma guitare, il est tôt il est tard C'est moi qui pars, c'est moi qui pars Ne t'en fais pas, je ne prends rien Seulement mon cur et mon chien Elle doit exister quelque part Cette fille de qui je parle c'est moi qui pars
Qu'est-ce que j'aurais aimé pourtant Que tu comprennes que tu m'attendes Que tu saches m'aimer vraiment Que tu sois un peu plus patientes
Notre vie est une bataille Faire l'amour et puis le défaire Il faut bien qu'un des deux s'en aille Je ne veux plus de cette guerre
C'est moi qui pars, c'est moi qui pars J'emporte ma guitare, il est tôt il est tard C'est moi qui pars, c'est moi qui pars Ne t'en fais pas, je ne prends rien Seulement mon cur et mon chien Elle doit exister quelque part Cette fille de qui je parle c'est moi qui pars
C'est moi qui pars, c'est moi qui pars J'emporte ma guitare, il est tôt il est tard C'est moi qui pars
Não chore se eu disser que já vou Você quem quis assim vai sofrer Não faça eu perder a razão Você machuca o meu coração E isso não se faz se eu disser Se eu disser que vou, vou sofrer Sofrer de amor prá mim, é morrer Eu sou um sonhador, e você?
Você tem que notar, que eu já fui Você tem que lembrar que eu te amei Você tem que chorar se eu sofrer Você tem que pagar se eu morrer...
Las noches que passamos a sonhar Los dias que vivamos a pensar Não diga prá ninguém que me viu Só diga que tão triste ele saiu Saiu prá nunca mais revolver...
The Red Deck Of Cards ((aka Deck Of Cards (Phil Harris) - 1948; A Hillbilly's Deck Of Cards (Ferlin Husky) - 1966 Cards Spiritualised; The Soldier's Almanac Bible And Prayer Book)) ((Dutch Version: Het Spel Kaarten (Cowboy Gerard & De Rodeo Riders - 1965)) Composer(s): T. Texas Tyler - Dave McEnery Performer(s): Red River Dave McEnery - 1954
It was during the last days of the prisoner exchange in Korea I was there as they came through Freedom Gate Shattered, sick and lame
There in a red cross tent as the weary group rested, a soldier broke out a deck of cards A look of hate crossed the tired face of one boy as he sprang up - knocking the cards to the ground As the cards lay around, many of them face up, he picked up the Ace and began
"Fellows," he said, "I'm sorry, but I hate cards The commies tried to use them to teach us their false doctrine
They told us the "Ace", meant that there's one God, the state We knew that to be untrue for we were religious boys"
"And the "Deuce" meant there were two great leaders Only two Lenin and Stalin And we couldn't swallow that either"
"And this "Trey" stood for three religious superstitions that the Reds would soon destroy The Catholic, the Protestants and the Jewish"
This black "Four", the soldier boy continued, stood for the four corners of the earth where the Hammer and Sickle would soon rein supreme There in that prison camp, far away from home, we hoped it was a lie
And this red "Five", was the five points in their Red Star Tears were streaming down the boy's face, as he picked up the six
And this "Six", the commies told us, stood for the sixth and final wars that America had luckily won The Revolutionary war, the war of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish American war, WW1, and number six - WW2 Now in this war, this cold war, America would be destroyed
And the "Seven", stood for our seventh foolish day, Sunday, which we wasted on our Lord
The "Eight", stood for the 8 hours every day we would have to spend learning to be, uh, progressive
The "Nine", for the cat-of-nine tails, lashed across our backs if we ever knelt to pray
The "Ten", was reminded us that out ten commandments, were ten stupid rules that only Capitalistic fools believed in That's what they told us
The "Jack" meant that Christ was a knave of uncertain birth
The "Queen", that maybe his mother was a non-virtuous woman
And the "King", stood for our Lord God whom the commies told us didn't not exist A dream, a fake, a joke That's what they told us
The Heart stood for Christ's blood, all shed in vain
The Diamond signified the real precious jewel, the communist party
The Club - the weapon of oppression with which they beat us
And the Spade - a tool with which we would dig our own graves
This was the Red Deck of Cards
So you see fellows, the soldier boy said, that's why I hate cards His buddies picked up the cards tore them into pieces and with shining faces walked arm-in-arm toward a simple chapel in Korea

Sur notre lit je vois deux oreillers Le tien demain ne sera pas froissé Tu seras loin quand le jour viendra Mais oui bien sur que c'est mieux comme ça
C'est mieux comme ça Et moi je ne t'en veux pas Mais je verrais demain sans toi nos lilas en fleurs Avec l'hiver dans le cur
Si tu ne crois plus en nous deux ce soir Si je ne sais plus t'inventer l'espoir Te retenir à quoi bon, pourquoi Tu as raison Oui c'est mieux comme ça
Ne t'en fais pas Surtout pas pour moi Restons en là Oui c'est mieux comme ça
C'est mieux comme ça Et moi je ne t'en veux pas Mais je verrais demain sans toi nos lilas en fleurs Avec l'hiver dans le cur
Dans tes yeux clairs j'ai vu mourir le feu Il fallait en arriver là nous deux Mais souris-moi une dernière fois Oh mon amour Oui c'est mieux comme ça

J'avais tout pour devenir quelqu'un Pour filer doux sur le droit chemin Mais j'avais en moi je le crois bien Quelque chose en plus ou peut-être en moins
Et c'est mieux ainsi C'est mieux ainsi
Bien souvent j'ai envie de t'écrire Mais à quoi bon je n'ai rien à dire Il faut croire que le temps fait du bien Emporte loin plaisir et chagrin
Et c'est mieux ainsi Oui bien mieux
Quelques fois elle te ressemble un peu Quand le soleil fait briller ses yeux Quelques fois j'ai peur de découvrir Un peu de toi au fond de son sourire
Elle n'a pas pour me brûler le cur Après l'amour ton regard vainqueur Mais elle prend ma tête entre ses mains Elle reste là et je l'aime bien
Et c'est mieux ainsi Oui bien mieux
Tu pourrais donner signe de vie Mais ne va pas croire que je m'ennuie Elle a tout pour que je sois quelqu'un Elle m'aimera même après-demain

C'est Merveilleux L'amour
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Gilbert Bécaud
C'est merveilleux l'amour C'est fantastique C'est trop compliqué pour Que ça s'explique Ça va, ça vient, ça court C'est lunatique C'est merveilleux l'amour
Heureux ou malheureux C'est un dilemme Qui pose aux amoureux Plus d'un problème C'est un jeu dangereux Mais quand on aime C'est merveilleux l'amour
Ça crie Ça mène notre vie Sur terre Ça pleure Et ça nous prend des heures Entières Et l'on a beau dire Et l'on a beau faire
Quand on est dans ses doigts Notre vie change Car on subit sa loi Qu'est un mélange De tourments et de joies Vraiment étrange C'est merveilleux l'amour
C'est merveilleux l'amour Qu'on se le dise Ces instants qu'on savoure Et qui nous grisent Dont dépendent nos jours Nous électrisent C'est merveilleux l'amour
Ça vient sans s'annoncer Sans crier gare Un regard, un baiser Hop! ça démarre Le bonheur est lâché Dans la bagarre C'est merveilleux l'amour
Ça vit De rêves et d'ennuis Qui passent C'est fier Ça fait un bruit d'enfer Ça casse Et quoi que l'on pense Et quoi que l'on fasse
Quand dans son tourbillon Il nous entraîne Ça prend des proportions Surhumaines Et qu'on le veuille ou non C'est une chaîne Qui nous tient nuit et jour C'est merveilleux, merveilleux l'amour
She walked through the corn leading down to the river Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun She took all the love that a poor boy could give her And left me to die like the fox on the run
Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run
Everybody knows the reason for the fall When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall This woman tempted me all right, then took me for a ride But like the lonely fox I need a place to hide
Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run
Come take a glass of wine and fortify your soul We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know I'll illustrate, a girl put me on the floor The game is nearly up, the hounds are at my door
Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run
The Happy Girls Composer(s): Helen Reddy - Kim Fowley Performer(s): Helen Reddy
Sally met him in the War Back in nineteen-forty-four He took her home to the States His buddies thought that she was great Subway Sally's fifty-one Her man is gone, her dreams are done She rides by night the Brooklyn train Sleeps by day to hide the pain
Lonely women of the World Were the happy girls (The happy girls) Lonely heroes of the World Seek the happy girls (The happy girls)
Nancy saw him on the street His shoes were shined, his suit was neat She couldn't see his broken mind Behind the mask of bein' kind He sleeps inside the iron bars Nancy's smile can't hide the scars Her daughter's grown, there's no one home She cries all night, she's all alone
Lonely women of the World Were the happy girls (The happy girls) Lonely heroes of the World Seek the happy girls (The happy girls)
To tell the truth there's no end in sight Mister Lonely always calls at night Let's hold on tight until the mornin' light (Till the mornin' light)
Terry's gonna meet him soon Today at school, maybe noon I hope for her it turns out right I know she's got a date tonight Had my ups, had my downs Truth was lost, but truth was found This I've learned, the World still turns We all get bruised, we all get burned
Lonely women of the World Were the happy girls (The happy girls) Lonely heroes of the World Seek the happy girls (The happy girls)

C'est merveilleux Quand on est tous les deux Le bonheur nous surveille C'est merveilleux Quand on est amoureux Les beaux jours se réveillent C'est merveilleux La vie est peinte en bleu À grands coups de soleil Puisque je t'aime et que tu m'aimes C'est merveilleux
Nous passerons toute la vie A chanter un si grand amour Pour une chanson si jolie La vie n'a pas assez de jours Nous en ferons une harmonie Qui ne sera jamais finie
C'est merveilleux Quand on est tous les deux Le bonheur nous surveille C'est merveilleux Quand on est amoureux Les beaux jours se réveillent C'est merveilleux La vie est peinte en bleu À grands coups de soleil Puisque je t'aime et que tu m'aimes C'est merveilleux
Forty Thousand Headmen Composer(s): Steve Winwood; Jim Capaldi Performer(s): Steve Winwood; Blood, Sweat & Tears; Traffic; Chuck Trois; Joe Walsh
Forty thousand headmen
couldn't make me change my mind If I had to take the choice between the deaf man and the blind I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me I turned around and knocked them down And walked across the sea
Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I saw Three small ships a sailin' towards a distant shore So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
Filling up my pockets even stuffed it up my nose I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change it's mind And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine
Laying down my treasure before the iron gate Quickly rang the bell, hoped I hadn't come too late But someone came along and told me not to waste my time And when I asked him who he was he said "Just look behind"
So I turned around and 40,000 headmen bit the dirt Firing twenty shotguns each and man it really hurt But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload And by the time they'd done I was heading down the road
Heading down the road Forty thousand headmen on my trail

We're the two new people
that moved to the middle of the block An' we're the talk of the town, an' don't you think we're not For we've got love an' happiness; people envy us, you see For we found Heaven right here on earth at Four-O-Thirty-Three
Yes, we found what most people are lookin' for An' there's not a lotta money to spend on a real fine car But it's a window where a bird flies an' sings so free An' there's a whole lotta windows in this little house at Four-O-Thirty-Three
The 4,000 lot proves what true love can do Once a lonely place that was sold to me an' you
Oh, all around the house you can see little children play An' they're not all other people's kids, we're proud to say They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see They're part of Heaven right here on earth at Four-O-Thirty-Three
At all hours of the day, you can see many people drive by For a look at the house they think fell from the sky They think that this place would make them happy as you an' me Now the whole town's tryin' to buy this house at Four-O-Thirty-Three
The 4,000 lot proves what true love can do Once a lonely place that was sold to me an' you
Oh, all around the house you can see little children play An' they're not all other people's kids, we're proud to say They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see They're part of Heaven right here on earth at Four-O-Thirty-Three
We're not a-gonna sell our happy little house at Four-O-Thirty-Three Wouldn't take a pretty penny for our lucky little house at Four-O-Thirty-Three...

When love comes in
And takes you for a spin
Ooh la la la
C'est magnifique
When every night your loved one holds you tight
Oh la la la
C'est magnifique
But when one day your loved one drifts away
Oh la la la
It is so Tragique
But when once more
She whispers je t'adore
C'est magnifique
Ooh la la la
C'est magnifique
Oh la la la
C'est magnifique
But when one day your loved one driffs away
Ooh la la la
It is so tragique
But when once more she whispers je t'adore
C'est magnifique
