This Golden Ring
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): Johnny Kidd & The Pirates; The Fortunes; David & Jonathan



This golden ring's gonna make quite sure of my baby's heart
This golden ring's gonna make quite sure that we never part
It's so funny what a ring can do, make a girl just like you
Take a ride round town, looking for a wedding gown

This golden ring's gonna bring a little tear to my baby's eye
She's gonna be so happy and just like a woman she'll cry-iy-iy-iy
She will cry and I know, that no mater what the future will hold
It's gonna be, the two of us eternally

So I've got a ring for my baby
And I'm thinkin' pretty soon that maybe
That girl will be mine
I'm gonna have an angel divine
And everything is workin' out fine, so fine
Yeah fine, so fine

This golden ring's gonna make quite sure of my baby's heart
This golden ring's gonna make quite sure that we never part
It's so funny what a ring can do, make a girl just like you
Take a ride round town, looking for a wedding gown

This golden ring is all I have to give to you
But give me time my love to make your dreams come true
I’ve been a-savin' all my money
I’ve been working hard girl, only with you in mind

We got somehing more than money
We gotta a love that’s gonna last
It’s so funny what a ring can do, make a girl just like you
Take a ride downtown, searching for a wedding gown

So I've got a ring for my baby
And I'm thinkin' pretty soon that maybe
That girl will be mine
I'm gonna have an angel divine
And everything is workin' out fine, so fine
Yeah fine, so fine

Coward Of The County
Composer(s): Roger Bowling; Billy Edd Wheeler
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
and multiple other artists



Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
His mama named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow
But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
"Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun

Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"

There's someone for ev'ryone and Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'
They took turns at Becky.... 
There was three of them!

Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again

"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"

The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom
One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor
When Tommy turned around they said 
"Hey look! ol' yellow's leavin'"
But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and blocked the door

Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all
When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'
He said, "This one's for Becky," as he watched the last one fall
And I heard him say

"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you done
I walk away from trouble when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek
and Papa, I sure hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"

Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county

J'Ai Pleuré De Joie
Performer(s): Enrico Macias



Que de fois j'ai pleuré de joie
Face à mon bonheur qui vit dans ton cœur
Que de fois ta façon d'aimer a ensoleiller mes jours
Et pourtant nous avons tremblé
Chaque fois qu'il y avait un danger
Mais tout ça c'est la peur du feu
D'un amour heureux

Que de fois j'ai pleuré de joie
A te regarder vivre à mes côtés
Que de fois j'ai vu dans tes yeux
L'existence du merveilleux
Trop de gens souffrent encore
D'être seul dans la vie
Et leur cri chaque jour
Est un cri d'amour

Que de fois j'ai pleuré de joie
Depuis cet instant du premier serment
Et depuis mon cœur ne reçoit
Que ce qui me vient de toi
Les enfants que tu m'as donnés
Les élans de ta sincérité
Ton sourire, ta confiance en moi
Je te dois tout ça

Quand je prends ma vie dans tes bras
Je prends chaque fois le monde avec toi
Mais ce soir encore une fois
J'ai envie de pleurer de joie

This Girl Is A Woman Now
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap



This girl walked in dreams 
Playing in a world of her own
This girl was a child 
Existing in a playground of stone
Then, one night her world was changed 
Her life and dreams were rearranged
She would never be the same again

This Girl is a Woman Now 
She's learned how to live
This Girl is a Woman Now 
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learnin', learnin' to live

This girl tasted love, as tender as the gentle dawn
She cried a single tear 
A teardrop that was sweet and warm
Our hearts told us we were right 
And on that sweet velvet night
A child had died, a woman had been born

This Girl is a Woman Now 
She's learned how to live
This Girl is a Woman Now 
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learnin', learnin' to live

Cow Patti
Composer(s): Jim Stafford
Performer(s): Jim Stafford



From the badlands came the killer
He lived by his knife and the gun
He'd cut you just for standing 
And shoot you if you tried to run
He was as big as a tree and did what he pleased
And everything he did was bad
They said, if you was to kill him
It'd only make him mad

From the goodlands came the cowgirl
Patti was her name
She was hot on the trail of that killer 
On a moped she called Flame
'Cause the killer had killed her daddy 
Just for spittin' in the road
And you only had to kill her daddy once
To get that gal p.o.'d.

Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
She rode into town 
To find the man
That killed her daddy
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti

The killer hit town at daybreak 
Ate the door off the local saloon
He started to drink
You could tell there'd be a showdown soon
Patti hit town in a cloud of dust
Old Flame was buzzin' like a saw
And the whole town got quiet as a church
When the killer stepped out for the draw

Forty shots rang out, forty people fell
Patti and the killer missed each other 
But they shot the town to hell
The killer took a step toward Patti
Said, "It's time I gunned you down"
But he slipped in something 
That was laying in the street
And was shot before he hit the ground

Yes, the killer slipped 
And it cost him his life
And Patti said, as she raced out of town
"You got to watch your step
When you know the chips are down"

Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
She rode into town 
To find the man
That killed her daddy
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti 

J'Ai Pleuré
Performer(s): Claudia Sylva



J'ai pleuré pour la première fois
J'ai pleuré, oui j'ai pleuré pour toi
Si simplement tu comprenais
Que moi je n'aime que toi
Que rien ne peut me séparer
De toi, de toi

J'ai pleuré pour ce que tu m'as fait
J'ai pleuré parce que tu riais
Oui, tu riais de moi
Parcequ'on s'est disputé
Cela peut bien arriver
Tu m'as fait pleurer

Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo

J'ai pleuré quand je t'ai vu partir
J'ai pleuré, j'ai pensé en mourir
Mais j'ai cru que c'était un jeu
Que tu allais me revenir
Il n'y aurait plus à l'avenir
Que nous deux, nous deux

Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo

Je t'en supplie tu dois me croire
Il n'y a que toi à moi
Écoute parler mon coeur
Mais qui ne bat que pour toi
Laisse pleurer mon coeur
Si tu ne m'aimes pas
Mais n'oublie jamais
Que moi, j'ai pleuré pour toi
Pour toi
Pour toi
Pour toi

This Flight Tonight
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Look out the left the captain said
The lights down there, that's where we'll land
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vegas sands
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one
That you can wish upon
Not the northern one
That guides in the sailors

Oh starbright, starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Now I can't talk to you baby
I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Oh starbright, starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't hove got on this flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing "Goodbye baby, Baby Goodbye,
Ooh, ooh, love is blind"
Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again baby

Starbright, starbright
You got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

J'Ai Peur, Je T'Aime
Composer(s): Chris Bernard; Johnny Hallyday
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'ai peur de la porte qui ne s'ouvre pas
J'ai peur que tu ne viennes pas
J'ai peur de l'été quand les feuilles sont fanées
Je t'aime

J'ai peur du silence qui cache ton retour
J'ai peur d'attendre toujours
J'ai peur de l'automne quand il te ressemble
Je t'aime

Je pense à l'enfant qui porte mon sang
J'ai peur de ne jamais le voir
Il doit être grand mais je ne veux rien croire
Je t'aime

J'ai peur de la pluie qui inonde la terre
J'ai peur aussi de vieillir
J'ai peur de l'hiver il te ressemble tant
Je t'aime

Tes pas qui résonnent dans une autre maison
J'ai peur d'entendre ton rire
Ton corps va s'offrir mais je ne veux rien croire
Je t'aime

Je ne veux rien croire
Je ne veux rien croire

This Door Swings Both Ways
((Finnish Version: Odotan Toivoen (Johnny) - 1966))
Composer(s): Don Thomas - Estelle Levitt
First release by: Herman's Hermits - 1966



Everyone's life is bittersweet
It's a door that opens wide
And no man can call himself complete
Till he's seen it from both sides

This door swings both ways
It's marked 'In' and 'Out'
Some days you'll want to cry
And some days you will shout

This door swings both ways
It goes back and forth
In comes a southern breeze
Or a cold wind from the north

This door swings both ways
Lets in joy and pain
In comes the morning sun
And then the evening rain

This door swings both ways
Lets in dark and light
Every day you make the choice
To let in wrong or right

When shadows fall
You must prepare yourself for sunshine
For everything there is an end
And so my friend you must be brave

This door swings both ways
Which one will it be
Will we live in happiness
Or dwell in misery

This door swings both ways
Lets in earth and sky
Make the most of livin'
If you're not prepared to die
Make the most of livin'
If you're not prepared to die

Cover Of Love
Performer(s): Roger Daltrey



Susie sits all alone
She waits by the telephone
Joey's out having fun
Waits to call when she's not at home
She gets scared and then takes off
And runs from the cover of love
He knows that he'll find her there
And knows what she'd thinking of

I know the broken hearted
When I look in their eyes I see
Is it the world that's changing
And turning away from me

Why do we run from the cover of love
Why do we run from the cover of love

You and I have been through this
A million times or more
Don't we know it's the same routine
So what are we fighting for

We all go and waste our time
But we are all the same
All we do is just to tun away
And play the same old game

You know the broken hearted
When you look in my eyes you see
Is it my life that's changing
And getting away from me

Why do we run from the cover of love
Why do we run from the cover of love

The changing heart knows no bound
Time may stand still
Emotions keep turning the fire burns on and on

You know the broken hearted
When you look in my eyes you'll see
Is it my life that's changing
And getting away from me

Why do we run from the cover of love
Why do we run from the cover of love 

J'Ai Peur De L'Avion
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Des milliers d'hommes d'affaires
Le nez dans le journal
Rien d'autre à faire
Essayer de trouver ça normal
J'ai pas de costume sombre
J'ai pas de conversation
Et puis, j'ai peur de l'avion...
Bienvenue dans le piège
Une voix de velours
Qui dit, "sous votre siège
La veste de secours"
Faut qu'il y en ait un qui tombe
C'est peut-être le bon
J'ai peur de l'avion...
Tous les bruits sont bizarres
Toutes les odeurs suspectes
Même couché dans le couloir
Je veux qu'on me respecte
Je veux qu'on me respecte
J'aimerais faire comme tout l'monde
Trouver ça naturel
D'être expulsé d'une fronde
Jusqu'au milieu du ciel
Qu'elle paraît minuscule
Cette piste en béton
J'ai peur de l'avion...
Si jamais on se pose
Ailleurs que dans les branches
Je propose de suivre
Toutes les messes de dimanche
Je jure que je rentre à pied à la maison
Y a rien à faire, rien à faire
J'ai peur de l'avion...
Peur de l'avion...
Peur de l'avion...
Peur de l'avion...

This Diamond Ring
Composer(s): Al Kooper - Irwin Levine - Bob Brass
First release by: Sammy Ambrose - 1964



Who wants to bu-u-uy this diamond ri-i-i-ing?
She took it off her finger, now it doesn't mean a thi-i-i-ng
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it meant before
So if you've got someone whose love is tru-u-ue
Let it shine for yo-ou-ou

This stone is genuine like love should be-e-e-e
And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me-e-e-e
This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did
If there's love behind it

This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did
If there's love behind it

This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it meant before...

So if you've got someone whose love is tru-u-ue
Let it shine for yo-ou-ou

Oh, I'm feeling cold
I need you so
Oh cover me, cover me

Yeah, my love for you
Gets stronger every day
Oh, temptation might be
Waitin' down the way
When I am lost
And I get led astray, babe

Find me, find me
Kiss every little tear that blinds me
Oh darling, I don't want
To lose you
Oh, find me

Stay with me, stay with me
Baby make it all the way with me
Oh every day, and every way,
Stay with me, ohhh, stay with me

Cover me, cover me
Spread your fragile love all over me
Oh, can't you see
The need in me
Oh, cover me, cover me

J'Ai Peur De Coucher Tout Seul
Composer(s): Albert Willemetz;
C.L. Pothier; C. Oberfeld
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier



Quand j'étais petit, petit, petit
La nuit j'avais peur dans mon lit
Je ne pouvais jamais parvenir
À m'endormir
Près de moi lorsque j'avais trop peur
Je couchais la poupée d'ma sœur
Et je suis resté, j'en suis honteux
Un peu peureux!

{Refrain:}
J'ai peur de coucher tout seul
Depuis l'âge de six mois
Quelles sont les dames qui veulent
Dormir près de moi?
Le soir sitôt que j'éteins la lumière
J'peux pas dormir si je suis solitaire
J'ai besoin d'une petite femme
Pour veiller sur moi
Ce n'est pas, oh non, mesdames
Pour ce que l'on croit
C'est uniquement parce que j'ai peur d'coucher tout seul!
Quelles sont les dames qui veulent
Dormir près de moi?

Pourquoi donc Mesdames rougissez-vous?
Vous vous trompez du tout au tout!
Vous me supposez j'en suis certain
Un libertin
Mais tout dans ma vie peut vous l'prouver
Je suis un garçon bien élevé
Je n'ai simplement j'en suis pas fier
Que ce p'tit travers!

{Refrain:}
J'ai peur de coucher tout seul
Et voilà pourquoi
Je demande les dames qui veulent
Dormir près de moi
Dans mon grand lit quand je sens qu'y a personne
Je suis glacé, tout transi, je frissonne
Quand je suis avec une femme
Voir même deux ou trois
Leur chaleur je le proclame
Me donne du sang froid
C'est enfantin, mais j'ai peur de coucher tout seul
Quelles sont les dames qui veulent
Dormir près de moi?

Je vous garantis qu'en acceptant
Pour vous c'n'est pas compromettant
Vous n'aurez qu'à me tenir la main
Jusqu'à demain
Je n'troublerai pas votre repos
Je n'frôlerai pas votre peau
Sur un bord, vous mettrez votre corps
Moi sur l'autre bord

{Refrain:}
J'ai peur de coucher tout seul
Mais ce soir je vois
Beaucoup d'jolies dames qui veulent
Dormir près de moi
J'en vois des brunes et des rousses et des blondes
Certainement je vais r'fuser du monde
Votre dévouement me touche
Me remplit d'émoi
J'vous avertis que j'me couche
À minuit vingt trois
Pour cette nuit, comme j'ai peur de coucher tout seul
Quelles sont les dames qui veulent
Dormir avec moi?

Sábado Á Noite
((English Version: Down At The Twist And Shout (Mary Chapin Carpenter))
Performer(s): Sandy & Júnior



Sábado á noite a lu a está indo
manhâ de domingo já vai começar
mas onde há dança a gente não se cansa
é contagiante, não dá pra parar
enquando houver música e gente festejando
nós vamos dançar pra frente e pra trás
ao som da sanfona e rabecachorona demais

muita gente está chegando de todo o lugar
caipirodrómo enchendo já vai começar
o povo ancioso e nós muito mais
pois no rádio anuncia que a banda é demais
de banda eu entendo, o parceiro é dez
a gente se entende no olhar e nos pés
o primeiro som já nos contagiou
que alegria , o baile começou

E dança o vovô João com a Mariazinha
Dança o chico bento e a maria chiquinha
A dona araci que não perde uma dança
o basílio bebe odas mas não perde a elegância
pra entregar o prêmio ao melhor casal
chamaramo prefeito, sujeito legal
nem a credito quando ele falou
adivinhe quem é que ganhou

vem o padre a família e o policial
não tem raça e nem cor, todo mundo é igual
o amor está presente em cada coração
e a felicidade é nossa direção
ninguém quer ouvir que o baile acabou
que o dia nasceu e o sol raiou
enquanto a música estiver no ar
a gente não se cansa de dançar

The times are tough now, just getting tougher 
This old world is rough, it's just getting rougher 
Cover me, come on baby, cover me 
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me 
Promise me baby you won't let them find us 
Hold me in your arms, let's let our love blind us 
Cover me, shut the door and cover me 
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me 

Outside's the rain, the driving snow 
I can hear the wild wind blowing 
Turn out the light, bolt the door 
I ain't going out there no more 

This whole world is out there just trying to score 
I've seen enough I don't want to see any more 
Cover me, come on and cover me 
I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me 
Looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me 

J'Ai Peur
Composer(s): Enrico Macias; J. Demarny
Performer(s): Enrico Macias



J'ai peur de devoir dire
Ce qui me fait trembler
J'ai peur de faire souffrir
Ceux qui m'ont tout donné
J'ai peur de voir partir
Mes parents mes amis
Et rester seul dans la vie

J'ai peur que mon enfant
S'en aille un jour cueillir
Les raisins de ma colère
Et puis le voir rougir
Et puis le voir mentir
Après que je l'ai laissé faire

J'ai peur des longs silences
Et puis j'ai peur du bruit
J'ai peur des imprudences
Que fait payer l'ennui
J'ai peur de me confier
Et puis de trop parler
Oui j'ai peur d'être trompé

J'ai peur que le public
Me tourne un jour le dos
S'en allant très loin de moi
Et puis me voir courir
Et puis me voir sourire
Pour chercher encore à y croire

J'ai peur des cheveux blancs
Qu'il faudra bien que j'ai
J'ai peur à chaque instant
De pas assez aimer
J'ai peur qu'après la vie
Notre amour soit fini
Et jamais plus réuni

J'ai peur de te chercher
Sans répit
J'ai peur de te chercher
Dans la nuit
Et oui j'ai peur de perdre la vie

This Could Be the Start of Something
Composer(s): Steve Allen
Performer(s): Mark Murphy - 1959
and multiple other artists



You're walkin' along the street, or you're at a party
Or else you're alone and then you suddenly dig
You're lookin' in someone's eyes
You suddenly realise
That this could be the start of something big!

You're lunchin' at twenty one and watching you diet
Declining a charlotte russe, accepting a fig
When out of a clear blue sky
It's suddenly gal and guy
And this could be the start of something big!

There's no controlling
The unrolling
Of your fate, my friend
Who knows what's written in the magic book?
But when a lover
You discover
At the gate, my friend
Invite her in without a second look!

You're up in an aeroplane or dining at Sardi's
Or lying at Malibu, alone in the sand
You suddenly hear a bell
And right away you can tell
That this could be the start of something grand!

You're doin' your income tax or buyin' a toothbrush
Or hurryin' home because the hour is late
Then suddenly there you go
The very next thing you know
Is this could be the start of something great!

You're havin' a snowball fight or pickin' up daisies
You're singin' a happy tune or knockin' on wood
When all of a sudden you
Look up and there's someone new
Oh, this could be the start of something good!

Your destined lover
You discover
In a frightening flash
So keep your heart awake, both night and day!
Because the meeting
May be fleeting
As a lightning flash
And you don't wanna let it slip away!

You're watchin' the sun come up or countin' your money
Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine
Then suddenly there she is
You wanna be where she is
And this must be the start of somethin'
This could be the heart of somethin'
This could be the start of somethin' grand!

Through the long grass, past the tall trees

Where my sweetheart's catchin' small fish
With a cane and a bent pin on a line

With a lazy hound lying by his feet
And my mommie's in the kitchen
With the table all ready set to eat
So if you happen to pass by, please
Come and join us join our company and

Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there
Underneath the sun and the deep, deep blue sky...and
Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there
Even when it rains and it pours it's a paradise

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo

Dooya doodn doo doo doo Dooya doodn doo doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo

Cousin Norman comes a courtin'
With the same girl every single day
Got a stammer, like a hammer
You can't understand a word that he s-says
So if you happen to pass by, please
