    Travels of Jaimie McPheeters
    Performer(s): The Osmonds



    From mountains high to valleys low, they speak the name of Jamie-O
    Who with his pa, went searching for that gold in old California
    By riverboat and wagon train, old Doc McPheeters crossed the plains
    And told his son, keep moving on there's gold in old California
    Go westward ho, young Jamie-O and you'll find fortune and fame

    And to this day when tales are told of pioneers a thousand fold
    McPheeters' name still shines like gold from Maine to old California
    Go westward ho, young Jamie-O, and you'll find fortune and fame
    And to this day when tales are told of pioneers a thousand fold
    McPheeters' name still shines like gold from Maine to old California
    From Maine to old California

    Come Tomorrow
    Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
    First release by: Townes Van Zandt



    If the song of the songbird
    Could replace my wrong word
    Then my dear, that's the song I would borrow

    And tonight you would hear
    The saddest song of the year
    And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow

    If the song of the swallow
    Could reveal my sorrow
    Then my dear, he would sing just for you

    And tonight you would hear
    The saddest song of the year
    And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow

    Just tonight, while in flight
    On your windowsill daylight
    To tell you all of my tears

    And tonight you would hear
    The saddest song of the year
    And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow

    If the song of the swallow
    Could reveal my sorrow
    Then my dear, he would sing just for you

    And tonight you would hear
    The saddest song of the year
    And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow

    And tonight you would hear
    The saddest song of the year
    And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow

    Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, Mr. Songbird
    Come on & sing just one, little swallow
    & make her mine once again come tomorrow

    Dear sister poet, dear brother poet too

    Gonna sign it, gonna seal it, gonna mail it away
    Gonna mail it today

    God I must be crazy to express myself this way
    But there ain't much romance livin in the U.S.A.
    This guitar is a blessing, This piano is a muse
    And electricity's a devil with a twenty amp fuse

    This is my rock and roll love letter to you
    This is my rock and roll love letter to you
    Gonna sign it, gonna seal it, gonna mail it away
    Gonna mail it to, gonna mail it today

    Dear mama, papa hey your boy is doin fine
    And this energy, you gave him
    Keeps on tryin to unwind
    'Cause I see an ancient rhythm
    In a man's genetic code
    Gonna keep on rock and rollin
    Fill my genes explode
    (repeat chorus)

    This is my rock and roll love letter to you
    This is my rock and roll love letter to you
    Gonna rock it, gonna seel it, gonna slake it away
    Send me back one, send me back on someday

    Performer(s): Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb



    Are you ready for the day that we pray for?
    Already holding what is real
    You know the soul finds its own evolution
    And this is the only love I feel
    And I tell you...
    I'm keeping up the strength
    I gotta try
    'Cause you ain't getting past
    This heart of mine
    I'm out here waiting for you
    With all I've got to give
    And I accept this life we live
    I'll be your lover and I'll be your friend
    I'm gonna follow you right to the end
    I wasn't made to tell you lies
    I only came to make you realize
    I'll be your hero and I'll be your clown
    You pick me up... you let me down
    Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait
    'Cause come tomorrow, will be too late
    Come tomorrow (repeat)
    I got to turn away my face
    'Cause you blind me with your light
    Can you catch up to me?
    You know I love you in the black of night
    This sacred ritual
    This journey has begun
    And we try...we try to carry on
    And you innocents
    You get to find the things in life
    That get you through
    (One more dance)
    And deep inside the things you are
    No one ever knew
    (One last chance)
    Let me make it happen
    This world we have forseen
    And I will tell you how I feel
    Love will be better for wearing your ring
    I'm gonna give you everything
    I wasn't made to tell you lies
    I only came to make you realize
    I'll be your hero and I'll be your clown
    You pick me up, you let me down
    Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait
    'Cause come tomorrow will be too late
    Come tomorrow (repeat)

    Baby I'm a knockin'
    So you better get your rockin' boots on
    You better ask your daddy for the caddy
    And we'll motor on
    Drive on baby to an all-night diner

    Reelin' and a rockin'
    On a rock and roll honeymoon

    Better get a preacher
    And I'll meet you when the school bell ring
    We ain't got the money for a twenty carat diamond ring
    But what do you think about a midnight rider
    Comin' on strong with an all night liner
    Baby it's me and you
    You know we can do it too
    Reelin' and a rockin'

    The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine
    Composer(s): Harry Carroll - Ballard Macdonald
    Performer(s): Albert Campbell & Henry Burr
    and multiple other artists



    On a mountain in Virginia
    Stands a lonesome pine
    Just below is the cabin home
    Of a little girl of mine
    Her name is June, and very, very soon
    She'll belong to me
    For I know she's waiting there for me
    'Neath that lone pine tree

    I can hear the tinkling waterfall
    Far among the hills
    Bluebirds sing each so merrily
    To his mate in rapture trills
    They seem to say "Your June is lonesome too"
    Longing fills her eyes
    She is waiting for you patiently
    Where the pine tree sighs

    In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
    On the trail of the lonesome pine
    In the pale moon shine our hearts entwine
    Where she carved her name and I carved mine
    Oh, June, like the mountains I'm blue
    Like the pine I am lonesome for you
    In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
    On the trail of the lonesome pine

    One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
    Come together right now over me

    He bag production

    He got Ono sideboard

    He got feet down below his knee
    Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

    Chorus:
    If you believe in forever
    Then life is just a one-night stand
    If there's a rock and roll heaven
    Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band

    Jimi gave us rainbows
    And Janis took a piece of our hearts
    And Otis brought us all to the dock of a bay
    Sing a song to light my fire
    Remember Jim that way
    They've all found another place, another place to play

    Chorus

    Remember bad bad Leroy Brown
    Hey Jimmy touched us with that song
    Time won't change a friend we came to know
    And Bobby gave us Mack the Knife
    Well look out, he's back in town
    They'll all be there together
    When they meet in one big show

    Chorus

    There's a spotlight waiting
    No matter who you are
    Cuz everybody's got a song to sing
    Everyone's a star
    (Everybody's got to be a star)

    Covered by multiple other artists



    People say I'm the life of the party
    'cause I tell a joke or two
    Although I may be laughin' loud and hearty
    Deep inside I'm blue

    So take a good look at my face
    You see my smile looks out of place
    If you look closer it's easy to trace
    The tracks of my tears

    I need you, need you

    If you see me with another girl
    Actin' like I'm havin' fun
    Although she may be cute
    She's just a substitute
    Girl you're the permanent one

    Ah, take a good look at my face
    You see my smile looks out of place
    Now look closer it's easy to trace
    The tracks of my tears

    Outside, I'm masquerading
    Inside, my heart is fading
    I'm just a clown
    Since you put me down
    My smile is my makeup
    I wear since my breakup with you

    Baby, baby, take a good look at my face
    You see my smile looks out of place
    If you look closer it's easy to trace
    The tracks of my tears

    Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
    You see my smile looks out of place
    Just look closer it's easy to trace
    The tracks of my tears

    Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face
    My smile looks out of place
    If you look closer it's easy to trace
    The tracks of my tears

    Come To Your Window
    Composer(s): Bob Lind
    Performer(s): Cher; The Hard Times



    I'm leaving in the quiet early morning
    When night has left the sky
    Before the dew is dry
    But it's not like it used to be
    I'm leaving you this warning
    You're gonna live to see the day
    You long for me

    Come to your window
    It ain't too late to come
    Into your sight again
    Don't make me believe you
    Before you let me have
    A chance to try again
    Or I'll be gone before
    You ever know you're losing me

    I know I've made mistakes
    That bought you sorrow
    But baby, keep in mind
    You're not right all the time
    Don't let me go away
    To face a new tomorrow
    Back where you bought me from
    When I was glad to come

    Come to your window
    Look down and see the teardrops
    In my desperate eyes
    Look how I need you
    I got to find a way to make you realize
    That you are casting out
    The deepest love you'll ever know

    Please don't close your ears
    To what I'm saying
    Before I ride away into the early day
    I spent the lonesome evening hours praying
    That you will change your mind
    And try me one more time

    Come to your window
    Before our love comes crashing
    Into pieces on the ground
    Don't let it happen
    I promise you this time
    I'll never let you down
    Give me a cause to come
    To your lonesome arms again

    Come to your window
    Look down and see the teardrops
    In my desperate eyes
    Look how I need you
    I got to find a way to make you realize
    That you are casting out
    The deepest love you'll ever know

    Rock & Roll Doctor
    Composer(s): Lowell George; Fred Martin
    Performer(s): Little Feat; Chris Smither



    There was a woman in Georgia didn't feel just right
    She had fever all day and chills at night
    Now things got worse, yes a serious bind
    At times like this it takes a man with such style I cannot often find
    A doctor of the heart and a doctor of mind

    If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet
    If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat
    If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice

    It's just a country town but patients come
    From Mobile to Moline from miles around
    Nagodoches to New Orleans
    In beat-up old cars or in limousines
    To meet the doctor of soul, he's got his very own thing

    Two degrees in be-bop, a PHD in swing
    He's the master of rhythm he's a rock and roll king

    If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet (he's the man to meet)
    If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat (I say he can't be beat)
    If you... If you wanna
    If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice

    If you want a fancy fan
    Or a turkey born in Turkey-stan
    Or a slave that's awf'lly African
    Or a Teapot early Ming
    Come to the supermarket in old Peking
    If you want to buy a kite
    Or a pup to keep you up at night
    Or a dwarf who used to know Snow White
    Or a frog who loves to sing
    Come to the supermarket in old Peking
    They have
    Sunflow'r cakes, moonbeam cakes
    Gizzard cakes, lizard cakes
    Pickled eels, pickle snakes
    Fit for any king
    If you want a bust of jade
    Or an egg that's more or less decayed
    Or in case you care to meet a maid
    For a nice but naughty fling
    Come to the supermarket
    If you come on an ostrich, you can park it
    So come to the supermarket
    And see Peking
    If you want a gong to beat
    Or a rickshaw with a sassy seat
    Or a painting slightly indiscreet
    That is simply riveting
    Come to the supermarket and see Peking
    Well, If you want some calico
    Or a gentle water buffalo
    Glow worm guaranteed to glow
    Or a cloak inclined to cling,
    Come to the supermarket in old Peking
    They have bird's-nest soup, seaweed soup
    Noodle soup, poodle soup
    Talking crows with the croup
    Almost anything
    If you want to buy a saw
    Or a fish delicious when it's raw
    Or a pill to kill your moth'r-in-law
    Or a bee without a sting
    Come to the supermarket
    If you come on a turtle, you can park it
    So come to the supermarket
    If you come on a goose, you can park it
    So come to the supermarket
    And see Peking!

    Well, we were just another band out of Boston
    On the road to try to make ends meet
    Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
    And we practiced right on out in the street
    No, we didn't have much money
    We barely made enough to survive
    But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
    People came alive

    Rock and roll band
    Everybody's waitin'
    Gettin' crazy
    Anticipating love and music
    Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis
    We were getting pretty good at the game
    People stood in line and didn't seem to mind
    You know everybody knew our name
    Livin' on rock-n-roll music
    Never worry 'bout the things we were missing
    When we got up on the stage and got ready to play
    Everybody'd listen

    Rock and roll band
    Everybody's waitin'
    Gettin' crazy
    Anticipating love and music
    Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Playin' for a week in Rhode Island
    A man came to the stage one night
    He smoked a big cigar
    Drove a Cadillac car
    And said, "Boys, I think this bands outta-sight
    Sign a record company contract
    You know I've got great expectations
    When I hear you on the car radio
    You're goin' to be a sensation!"

    Rock and roll band
    Everybody's waitin'
    Gettin' crazy
    Anticipating love and music
    Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    The Toymaker's Dream
    Composer(s): Ernie Golden
    Performer(s): Vaughn DeLeath



    A jolly little workman was making toys all day
    So children could be happy when they were all at play
    One night when all was quiet, his daily work was done
    In the shadows deep he fell fast asleep as the toys woke one by one

    Though it's just in dreams, still to him it seems that his toys have come to life
    There's a bugler boy blowing notes of joy and a toy that blows a fife
    Hear that big bass drum going "rum tum tum" to the sound of tramping feet
    See the toyman smile as the rank and file come a-marching up the street

    There's lions, camels, tigers, an elephant or two
    Just hear that great big rooster sing "cock-a-doo-dle-doo"
    And dear old Mother Hubbard who found her cupboard bare
    And Santa Claus who's here because he has some toys to share
    There's battleships and cruisers and big electric trains
    The skyway up above him is filled with aeroplanes
    Right in his little workshop he made them all it's true
    Attention! Attention! Get ready for review

    A jolly little workman was making toys all day
    So children could be happy when they were all at play
    One night when all was quiet, his daily work was done
    In the shadows deep he fell fast asleep as the toys woke one by one

    All the toys play on till the break of dawn, though they're made of wood and clay
    Ev'ry one is there and they do their share to make whoopee and be gay
    When the clock strikes five they can't be alive, so they scramble for themselves
    And the toyman wakes and shivers and shakes as he sees them on the shelves

    There's lions, camels, tigers, an elephant or two
    Just hear that great big rooster sing "cock-a-doo-dle-doo"
    And dear old Mother Hubbard who found her cupboard bare
    And Santa Claus who's here because he has some toys to share
    There's battleships and cruisers and big electric trains
    The skyway up above him is filled with aeroplanes
    Right in his little workshop he made them all himself
    Attention! Attention! March back upon the shelf

    Composer(s): Richard Rudolph; Charles Stepney
    Performer(s): Minnie Ripperton



    Come to my garden let the stars fill your eyes
    Come to my garden and walk with me
    Come to my garden no more dreams filled with cries
    Come to my garden please

    I'll take your hand and lead you from these bad times
    I'll take your breath and give you mine
    I'll take your hand and lead you where the truth lies
    I'll take you with me now

    You know you've lived here all your nights; all your days
    You know you've lived here inside my mind
    You know you'll stay here for this you've lived all your life
    You know you'll stay right here

    Rock & Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)
    Composer(s): Kevin Johnson
    Performer(s): Mac Davis



    I can still remember
    When I bought my first guitar
    Remember just how good the feeling
    To put it proudly in my car
    And my fam'ly listened fifty times
    To my two song repertoire
    I told my mom
    Her only son was gonna be a star
    Bought all the Beatles records
    I sounded just like Paul
    I bought all the old Chuck Berry's - 78's and all
    I sat by my record player
    Playing ev'ry note they played
    I watched them all on TV
    Making ev'ry move they made

    Rock and roll, I gave you all
    The best years of my life
    All the dreamy sunny Sundays
    All the moonlit summer nights
    I was so busy in the backroom
    Writing love songs to you
    While you were changing your direction
    And you never even knew
    That I was always just one step behind you

    Sixty-six seemed like the year
    I was really going somewhere
    We were living in San Francisco
    With flowers in our hair
    Singing songs of kindness
    So the world would understand
    To the guys and me you were something more
    Than just another band

    And then sixty-nine in L.A.
    Came around so soon
    We were really making headway
    And writing lots of tunes
    And we must have played
    The wildest stuff that we had ever played
    And the way the crowds cried out for us
    We thought we had it made

    Rock and roll, I gave you all
    The best years of my life
    All the crazy, lazy, young days
    All the magic moon at night
    I was so busy on the road
    Singing love songs to you
    While you were changing your direction
    And you never even knew
    That I was always just one step behind you

    Seventy-one and so alone
    When I met Susanne
    I was trying to go it solo
    With someone else's band
    She came up to me later
    And I took her by the hand
    And I told her all my troubles
    And she seemed to understand

    And she followed me to London
    Through a hundred hotel rooms
    Through a hundred record companies
    Who didn't like my tunes
    She followed me when finally
    I sold my old guitar
    She tried to help me
    Understand I'd never be a star

    Rock and roll, I gave you
    All the best years of my life
    All the dreamy, sunny Sundays
    All the moonlit summer nights
    And though I never knew
    The magic of making it with you
    That I thank the Lord for giving me
    The little bit I knew
    And I was always just one step behind you

    and multiple other artists



    Have you heard
    Have you heard
    There's a new tooter in
    With the Tin pan parade
    Pass the word
    Pass the word
    'Cause it's some toy trumpet brigade

    Come along
    Come along
    If you're soon enough
    You'll hear him do his stuff
    Hurry up
    Hurry up
    They will soon be here
    They're getting nearer

    Here they come
    Here they come
    Hear the hum of the drum
    Of the Tin pan parade
    Better run
    Better run
    'Cause it's some toy trumpet brigade

    Here they are, there's the leader
    Passing by , aint he grand
    He's the star, he's the leader of the band
    There he goes with his trumpet
    Tootin' high, tootin' low
    When he blows he's a rootin', tootin' dandy

    Tootin' low
    Tootin' high
    He's a new tooter in
    With the Tin pan parade
    There they go
    Passing by
    That was some toy trumpet brigade

    Charlie:
    Because they told me I can't behold ye till weddin' music starts playin'
    To ease my longin' there's nothin' wrong in my standin' out here ans sayin'
    Come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
    Darlin', my darlin', 'tis all I can say
    Jus' come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
    Gie me your lips an' don't take them away
    Come, dearie, near me so ye can hear me, I've got to whisper this softly
    For though I'm burnin' to shout my yearnin', the words come tiptoein' off me
    Oh, come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
    Darlin' my darlin', 'tis all I can say
    Jus' come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
    Gie me your lips an' don't take them away
