There's A Lump Of Sugar Down In Dixie Composer(s): Alfred Bryan - Jack Yellen - Albert Gumble
Sugar! sugar! Every body's cryin'
'Cause it's mighty scarce up here Buy it! Try it! Just go out to buy it And you'll find it's mighty dear But I don't care I'm going where I've got enough to last a year
Tuitti fruitti don't compare with Cutie Waitin' cross the Dixon line Ida Ida may be sweet as cider But my gal is sweet as wine Nothin' could be Sweeter than she Believe me boy I'm glad she's mine
There's a lump of sugar down in Dixie And it's all my own She's the sweetest little bunch of sweetness I have ever known Every glance that she gives me puts sugar in my tea Her kisses are like honey yummy yummy yummy Sweeter than the honey to the bee There's a "Choo - choo" leavin' here this evenin' bound for Carolin' And its goin' to take me to that little lolly pop of mine She's a gal that Mister Hoover ought to meet Puts her finger in the pie to make it sweet My little lump of sugar down in Dixie mine all mine
There's a lump of sugar down in Dixie And it's all my own She's the sweetest little bunch of sweetness I have ever known Every glance that she gives me puts sugar in my tea Her kisses are like honey yummy yummy yummy Sweeter than the honey to the bee There's a "Choo - choo" leavin' here this evenin' bound for Carolin' And its goin' to take me to that little lolly pop of mine Sweetest little sugar lump I ever knew And her father's got a lot of sugar too My little lump of sugar down in Dixie mine all mine

Run Red Run Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Performer(s): The Coasters; Fitzgerald & Beach
Oh, Red went and bought himself a monkey Got him from a pawn shop broker Taught that monkey how to guzzle beer And he taught him out to play stud poker Last night when they were gambling in the kitchen The monkey he was taking a beating The monkey said Red, "I'm going to shoot you dead Because I know that well, you been a cheating"
Chorus: Well, run Red run, because he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head Run Red run, because he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head You better get up and wail You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead
Oh, Red jumped up and started to move like a P80-Saber Jet He zoomed around the corner, and he disappeared And everybody started to stare The race was on, you know the chase was on And Red he was all shook up But, let me tell you sport, don't sell that monkey short Because he's a travelling son of a gun
Repeat Chorus
Monkey trapped Red in a parking alot Down along the Avenue Monkey said, "Red, you've made a man out of me Now I'm going to make a monkey out of you Give me your car keys, give me your wallet Give it to me here, or I'll shoot Going to put on your brand new Stetson hat And go to town in your new brown suit"

Meu coração não se cansa De ter esperança De um dia ser tudo o que quer Meu coração de criança Não é só a lembrança De um vulto feliz de mulher Que passou por um sonho meu sem dizer adeus E fez dos olhos meus um olhar mais sem fim Meu coração vagabundo Quer guardar o mundo em mim
Run Like The Wind Composer(s): Mike Batt Performer(s): Mike Batt; Barbara Dickson
There's an eagle in the eastern sky turning in the wind Out across the evening, resting on the wing If I had the wings of an eagle There's be no holding me I'd be free, sailing free
Chorus:
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind One day soon Gonna break away from everything One day soon Nothing in the world's gonna pull me back And nothing's gonna keep me in Gonna run like the wind
And if you should tell me You want to hold me down Before the flow of morning I'd be gone without a sound The more you try to keep me here The less you will succeed Sailing free, sailing free

There's A Land Of Begin Again Composer(s): Hughie Charles - Ross Parker Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
There's a land of begin again On the other side of the hill Where we learn to love and live again When the world is quiet and still There's a land of begin again And there's not a cloud in the sky Where we'll never have to grieve again And we'll never say goodbye
When all your troubles just surround you And around you skies are grey If you can only keep your eyes on The horizon, not so far away
There's a land of begin again On the other side of the hill Where we learn to love and live again When the world is quiet and still There's a land of begin again And there's not a cloud in the sky Where we'll never have to grieve again And we'll never say goodbye
There aren't any signposts to guide you You don't need permission to stay And you'll find there's something inside you Showing you the way
There's a prize we can win again And together, somehow, we will There's a land of begin again On the other side of the hill

Elle était bonne Pour quarante Quarante dollars Ou quarante hommes Pour quarante Elle était bonne... C'était elle Qu'un dieu souriant Avait prévue Pour faire de la terre Un grand ciel entrevu... Un uf et une poule Un grand coquetier bleu De loin, c'est une boule De près, un chemin creux... Et j'en étais très exactement amoureux Comme dans un salon de coiffure de banlieue Un extincteur rêve de feu Près d'une plante exotique qui rêve d'Afrique... Il faut oser Tresser l'osier Pour laisser au moins un panier À l'éternité... Morales, conscience Et habitudes Habitent toujours la même rue Il faudrait oser déménager... Un uf et une poule Un grand coquetier bleu Elle bonne pour quarante Et moi amoureux Et j'en étais très exactement amoureux Comme, dans un salon de coiffure de banlieue Un extincteur rêve de feu Près d'une plante exotique qui rêve d'Afrique ...
Run For Home Composer(s): Alan Hull Performer(s): Lindisfarne; Alan Hull
Ive travelled the land With a guitar in my hand And an eye ever open for some fun Ive made some mistakes Had my share of the breaks Seen the boys on the make and on the bum
Chorus: Run for home run as fast as I can Oh-oh running man running for home Run for home run as fast as I can Oh-oh running man running for home
Ive seen all the frowns On the faces of the clowns And the downs that they take just to be free And Ive seen all the girls In their pretty frocks and curls But it dont mean a lot to me Chorus
And Ive been to the places in town Where the faces hang round Just to stare at each other Ive looned with them screamed at the moon Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered Chorus
Copperhead Road Composer(s): Steve Earle First release by: Steve Earle - 1988 Covered by multiple other artists
Well my name's John Lee Pettimore Same as my daddy and his daddy before You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here He only came to town about twice a year He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line Everybody knew that he made moonshine Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad He headed up the holler with everything he had It's before my time but I've been told He never came back from Copperhead Road Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside Well him and my uncle tore that engine down I still remember that rumblin' sound Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday They draft the white trash first, 'round here anyway I done two tours of duty in Vietnam And I came home with a brand new plan I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air I wake up screaming like I'm back over there I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know You better stay away from Copperhead Road
