The Strawberry Roan Composer(s): Curley Fletcher - Fred Howard - Nat Vincent Performer(s): Bill Boyd & His Cowboy Wranglers and multiple other artists
I was hanging round town, just spending my time Being out of a job and not earning a dime A fellow walks up, and he says, "I suppose You're a bronc rider, from the looks of your clothes"
"Well, you figured me right, and I'm a good one, I claim Would you happen to have any outlaws to tame?" He says, "I've got one and a good one to buck At throwing top riders he's had lots of luck"
He says this here's one pony that's never been rode And the man that gets on him is bound to get throwed I got all het up and I asked what he'd pay To ride this old nag for a couple of days
Well, he offered me ten, and I says, "I'm your man For the bronc isn't living that I couldn't fan" He says, "Get your saddle, I'll give you the chance" So we hopped in his buckboard and rode to his ranch
Out in the horse corral, standing alone Is an old cavallo, a strawberry roan Little pin ears that touch at the tip A big 44 brand upon his left hip
He was spavined all round, and he had pigeon toes Little pig eyes, and a big roman nose U-necked and old, with a long lower jaw You could tell at a glance he's a regular outlaw
Well, I buckle on my spurs, and I'm sure feeling fine I pull down my hat and I pick up my twine Throw my loop on him, and well I know then Before he gets rode, I'll sure earn my ten
I get the blinds on him with a terrible fight Next comes the saddle, and I cinch him up tight Then I step on him and raise up the blinds "Get out of the way, boys, he's bound to unwind!"
Well, I threw him his head, and I'll say he unwound He seemed to quit living down here on the ground Went up in the east and come down in the west I'm sitting up on him and doing my best
He sure was a frog-walker, he heaved a big sigh He only lacked wings for to be on the fly Turned his old belly right up to the sun He sure was a sunfishing son of a gun
He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range He could turn on a nickle and give you some change I lost both my stirrups and also my hat I'm reaching for leather and blind as a bat
He come down on all fours, and he went up on high And he left me a-spinning up there in the sky Turned over twice and I come down to the earth And I lit into cussing the day of his birth
Now I know there's ponies that I cannot ride There's some of them living, they haven't all died But I'll bet my money there's no man alive Who can stay with old Strawberry when he makes his high dive

The Stranger (Two Souls In Communion) Composer(s): Ron "Pigpen" McKernan Performer(s): Grateful Dead
What are they seeing, when they look in each other's eyes? What are they feeling, when they see each other's smile? Is it a love I've never known - or an emotion that I've outgrown?
Did I take a wrong turning on life's winding road? Won't somebody help me find the right way to go? My life need some correction, alteration in direction Won't somebody comfort me for a while - yes, I'm lost
What is the secret of this tie that binds? Two souls in communion, both body and mind Is it special magic, or just the nature of things? Conceived of great spirit, not for beggars but kings
You who have found it, please help me along I'm a man, I'm a man, - I'm not made out of stone My needs they are simple, I don't want many things But I truly want to fly on those wings of love one more time
That's all I need (fly up, fly home) I want to fly on them wings (fly up, fly home) I want to fly on them wings of love (fly up, fly home) I'm a stranger here (fly up, fly home) Won't somebody help me now (fly up, fly home) I wake up early in the morning (fly up, fly home) you know I never saw you babe (fly up, fly home) I just can't seem to understand Can't seem to understand what's wrong (fly up, fly home) What I wanna do is take a little ride with you, on the wings of love Woh-oh one more time, one more time
Come Back Little Sheba Composer(s): Lenny Kaye; Patti Smith Performer(s): Patti Smith
Come back little Sheba I hear them calling Open your ears Awake from thy sleep High above The stars are falling Open your arms And you shall receive
The lights of the city So bold and flashing All of its riches Imparted to thee Robes of saffron Robes of standing A road of crimson Spread at your feet
Your robes of standing Your robes of saffron Your road of crimson All pleasing to me But close your lights Close your gates I must arise My flock awaits
Farewell little Sheba I hear them a'calling Here is your staff Tend to thy sheep Good wishes be with you If that be your calling Farewell little Sheba Arise and take leave

Je vais te raconter l'histoire (Faut c'qu'y faut) D'un gars qui voulait changer l'histoire (Trop c'est trop) Il était fils de militaire et né dans un canon (Boum!) Sur sa brassière y avait déjà des galons Un homme de guerre, c'est pas la moitié d'un con Un petit coup de Marseillaise (Oh non!) Un petit coup de La Madelon (Sûrement pas!) Vive l'amour à la française Et vive la France et la Corrèze Oooh. Tout finit par des chansons Moi mon gars je veux pas changer l'histoire, je veux rien changer du tout Je laisserai rien de rien dans les mémoires, mais je m'en fous Ring a ding, ring a ding, ring a ding Ring a ding, ring a ding Oui je m'en fous
Il épousa un jour de gloire (Faut c'qu'y faut) Une demoiselle nommée victoire (Trop c'est trop) Elle était fille de légionnaire, d'ailleurs elle sentait bon (Beurk) Devant le Maire, la belle n'a pas dit non Elle était fière d'être la moitié d'un con (Allez!) Un petit coup de Marseillaise (Ouais allez tiens) Un petit coup de La main Delon (Non) Vive l'amour à la française Et vive Pimpaul et ses falaises Oooh.

Voici la fin de mon histoire (Faut c'qu'y faut) Bien sûr c'est difficile à croire (Trop c'est trop) Un jour au cur de la mitraille, un boulet de canon (Boum!) fit une entaille plus large que ses gallons Du champ d'bataille, sortit la moitié d'un con (Et allez) Un petit coup de Marseillaise (Hola non, non) Un petit coup de La main Delon (J'ai dit non) Vive l'amour à la française Et vive enfin le Père Lachaise Oooh Tout finit au goupillon Ah moi mon gars je veux pas changer l'histoire, je veux rien changer du tout Je laisserai rien de rien dans les mémoires, mais je m'en fous Ring a ding, ring a ding, ring a ding Ring a ding, ring a ding Ring a ding, ring a ding, ring a ding Oui je m'en fous...
The Strange Little Girl Composer(s): Jerry Ross - Richard Adler Performer(s): Cowboy Copas
Now, I don't know who she was And I don't know where she came from I only know there was an angel glow In the eyes of the strange little girl
My sweetheart and I had a quarrel I was troubled as a body can get So, I put on my coat and walked out into the night When a strange little girl I met
Now, I don't know who she was And I don't know where she came from I only know there was an angel glow In the eyes of the strange little girl
She told me she knew of our quarrels And I listened as she softly spoke on She said, true love is rare So don't lose the love you share And before I could speak, she was gone
Now, I don't know who she was And I don't know where she came from I only know there was an angel glow In the eyes of the strange little girl
Ran back to the home of my sweetheart And I told her of the girl I did see She said, darling I prayed you'd forgive me and return For the same little girl came to me
Now, I don't know who she was And I don't know where she came from I only know there was an angel glow In the eyes of the strange little girl I only know there was an angel glow In the eyes of the strange little girl

Darling we're not very old But there's a love story that has to be told By stars above I swear that it's true It's the story of my love for you (My love for you)

Rimbaud Chanterait Composer(s): Jean-Michel Rivat; Roland Vincent Performer(s): Michel Delpech
Il écrivait sur des morceaux d'azur Sur les étangs sur les forêts è è è Il écrivait sur le vent sur les murs Mais aujourd'hui il chanterait Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu Un soleil dans le cur un sanglot dans la voix Là devant la foule il chanterait Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait Et toute la foule sifflerait Mais Rimbaud chanterait Mais Rimbaud chanterait
Il t'a laissé des mots venus du cur Pour ne pas mourir tout à fait è è è Lui, l'homme fou, l'ami, le déserteur Aujourd'hui comme il chanterait Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu Un soleil dans le cur un sanglot dans la voix Là devant la foule il chanterait Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait Et toute la foule sifflerait Devant toi tu verrais Un bateau qui se noie Un bateau qui se noie Et Rimbaud chanterait Rimbaud chanterait le poing levé Rimbaud chanterait le cur serré Rimbaud chanterait la liberté Et l'amour et l'enfer et le fleuve et la mer Et devant la foule il chanterait Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait Et toute la foule sifflerait Mais Rimbaud chanterait Mais Rimbaud chanterait reprise ad lib
The story of my life is very plain to read it starts the day you came and ends the day you leave
The story of my life begins and ends with you the names are still the same and the story's still the truth
I was alone you found my waiting and made me your own I was afraid that somehow I never could be the man that you wanted of me
You're the story of my life and every word is true each chapter sings your name each page begins with you
It's the story of our times and never letting go and if I die today I wanted you to know
Stay with my here share with me care with me stay and be near and when it began I'd lie awake every night just knowing somewhere deep inside that our affair just might write
The story of my life it's so very plain to read it starts the day you came and ends the day you leave
