Now, I'm a cross cut saw
Drag me 'cross yo' log

And drag me 'cross yo' log

Ooh baby, ease me cross yo' log

Can't help but say, 'hot dog'

J'avais Deux Amis
((Adapted from: The Unfortunate Rake - 18th Century (aka St. James Infirmary - 1928/1929))
Composer(s): Irving Mills - Jacques Chaumelle
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1965



Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Le premier s'appelait Buddy
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Et l'autre s'appelait Eddy
Un avion surgissant de l'ombre
S'est écrasé dans un bruit d'enfer
Un avion surgissant de l'ombre
M'a privé de Buddy à jamais
Un taxi aux portes de Londres
Dérapant sur la chaussée mouillée
Un taxi aux portes de Londres
M'a fait perdre Eddy à tout jamais
Le néon s'est éteint trop vite
Et sur eux le rideau est tombé
D'autres noms maintenant s'inscrivent
Mais moi, je n' les oublierais jamais
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Le premier s'appelait Buddy
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Et l'autre s'appelait Eddy

This Wheel's On Fire
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan & The Band - 1967/1975
Covered by multiple other artists



If your memory serves you well
We were going to meet again and wait
So I'm going to unpack all my things 
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you 
With another tale to tell 
But you know that we shall meet again 
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin 
This wheel shall explode! 

If your memory serves you well
I was going to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot 
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours...
But it was oh so hard to tell
But you knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well 
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin 
This wheel shall explode! 

If your memory serves you well 
You'll remember you're the one 
That called on me to call on them 
To get you your favours done
And after every plan had failed 
And there was nothing more to tell 
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory served you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin 
This wheel shall explode! 

Cross The Border
Composer(s): Petula Clark; Siegried Fietz
Performer(s): Petula Clark



They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
And if love shows us the way ... maybe
The desert will bloom again
I dreamed I was in Africa
beneath a cloudless sky
No food to feed my family
No strength in me to cry

IT was only a dream
thank GOD it won't come true
But the suffering I've seen
keeps haunting me through and through

But if love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way ... maybe
Their suffering will not be in vain
I've seen the people searching
for an answer to their pain
I can still hear them praying
for the rains to come again
And they're willing to learn
if we're willing to teach
Deep beneath the earth
there is water within our reach

They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
and if love goes all the way ... they'll see
That land growing green again

They say love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way ... maybe
The desert will bloom again

I love java sweet and hot
Whoops, Mister Moto, I'm a coffee pot 
Shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup! 

Oh slip me a slug from the wonderful mug 
And I'll cut a rug 'til I'm snug in a jug 
A slice of onion and a raw one

Waiter, waiter, percolator! 

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me 
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

You know that I'm not keen about a bean
Unless it is a chile chile bean! (Talk it, boy!)

Whoops, Mister Moto, I'm a coffee pot (yeah) 
You shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, 'an dat zat bootle! 

Blow me a slug from that wonderful mug 
And I'll cut a rug that's snug in a jug 
Drop a nickel in my pot, Joe, takin' it slow

Coffee and tea and the java and me 
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup - Boy!

Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & His Texas Troubadours; Arlo Guthrie



There’s gonna to be some changin’ round, Baby you’ve done let me down
You’d done trifled on me your last time
You know it just ain’t right I come home you start a fight
Gonna leave you and ease This Troubled Mind Of Mine

Got me a baby that’s got some sense, cuttin’ in on your expense
Gonna leave you and ease This Troubled Mind Of Mine

Ah Billy Bird now...

I can find a better way to spend my time
So if I should stay out late you know I’ve been swinging on another gate
Gonna leave you and ease This Troubled Mind Of Mine

Ah Tommy Jackson now...

Now Baby I want you to know you left your motor runnin’ slow
I got off, got on a faster line
Got me a baby that’s got some sense, cuttin’ in on your expense
Gonna leave you and ease This Troubled Mind Of Mine

Performer(s): Fats Waller
and multiple other artists



Cross patch how can anyone be so cross
Won't you tumble off your high horse
You know you love to be loved
Cross patch, if you feel the wind change, they say
It will make your face stay that way
And then you'll never be loved
Cultivate a smile sweet and sunny
You can catch a fly with honey
You're actin so spoiled
Shame, shame ... everybody knows your name
Cross patch don't you know it takes two to fight
Won't you kiss and make up tonight
You know you love to be loved

Java Blues
Composer(s): Rick Danko; Emmett Grogan
Performer(s): Rick Danko;
Levon Helm; Nazareth



Stopped by a diner, and the blond behind the counter
Asked if she could help in any way
I could tell by her smile, her number I could dial
If i was in the need of company
I asked her for some Java
Instead she brought a cup of chickory

A taste of Java, is like a volcanic rush
Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin too much
Costs many more than you care to pay
But money is nothin, compared to a fired-up day
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
the only pick-me-up that's here to stay

Java Blues ... coffee's got me
Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee
Java Blues ... well the coffee's got me
Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Drinkin' coffee till I die
Java blues

Won't you boil me water ... fill up my cup
You know it takes alot to keep me up
Down in Bolivia ... the people are insane
They want as much for Java as they do for cocaine
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay

Java Blues ... coffee's got me
Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee
Java Blues ... you don't know what it does to me
Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Drinkin' coffee till I die
Java Blues ...

Ce souvenir, je te l'rends
Des souvenirs tu sais, j'en ai tellement
Puisqu'on repart toujours à zéro
Pas la peine de s'charger trop

Ce souvenir je te l'prends
Des souvenirs comme ça, j'en veux tout l'temps
Si par erreur la vie nous sépare
Je l'sortirai d'mon tiroir

J'rêve les yeux ouverts, ça m'fait du bien
Ça n'va pas plus loin
J'veux pas voir derrière puisque j'en viens
Vivement demain

Mon bonheur te ressemble
Tous les deux vous allez bien ensemble
J'te l'dirai jamais, jamais assez
Tout c'que tu fais m'fait d'l'effet

J'rêve les yeux ouverts, ça m'fait du bien
Ça n'va pas plus loin
J'veux pas voir derrière puisque j'en viens
Vivement demain

Un dernier verre de sherry
De chéri mon amour, comme je m'ennuie
Tous les jours se ressemblent à présent
Tu me manques terriblement...

Cross Over The Bridge
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin - George David Weiss
Performer(s): Patti Page
and multiple other artists



If you're a guy who's had a gal
In each and every port
And you've forgot the rules of love
That life has always taught
And if you broke as many hearts
As ripples in a stream
Well, brother, here's the only way
That you can be redeemed

Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin'
Cross over the bridge
Leave your fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge

If you have built a boat
To take you to the greener side
And if the boat is built
Of ev'ry lie you ever lied
You'll never reach the Promised Land of love
I guarantee
'Cause lies cannot hold water
And you'll sink into the sea

Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin'
Cross over the bridge
Leave your fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge

I know it isn't easy
To resist temptation's call
But think of how your broken heart
Will hurt you when you fall
'Cause some day you will find
That you are hopelessly in love
And she'll belong to someone else
As sure as stars above

Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin'
Cross over the bridge
Leave your fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge

Cross over the bridge

Jaurès
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel; Zebda



Ils étaient usés à quinze ans
Ils finissaient en débutant
Les douze mois s'appelaient décembre
Quelle vie ont eu nos grand-parents
Entre l'absinthe et les grand-messes
Ils étaient vieux avant que d'être
Quinze heures par jour le corps en laisse
Laissent au visage un teint de cendres
Oui notre Monsieur, oui notre bon Maître

Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?
Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?

On ne peut pas dire qu'ils furent esclaves
De là à dire qu'ils ont vécu
Lorsque l'on part aussi vaincu
C'est dur de sortir de l'enclave
Et pourtant l'espoir fleurissait
Dans les rêves qui montaient aux cieux
Des quelques ceux qui refusaient
De ramper jusqu'à la vieillesse
Oui notre bon Maître, oui notre Monsieur

Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?
Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?

Si par malheur ils survivaient
C'était pour partir à la guerre
C'était pour finir à la guerre
Aux ordres de quelque sabreur
Qui exigeait du bout des lèvres
Qu'ils aillent ouvrir au champ d'horreur
Leurs vingt ans qui n'avaient pu naître
Et ils mouraient à pleine peur
Tout miséreux oui notre bon Maître
Couverts de prèles oui notre Monsieur
Demandez-vous belle jeunesse
Le temps de l'ombre d'un souvenir
Le temps de souffle d'un soupir

Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?
Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?

Wie schwarz die Nacht auch wäre
Dem Mond stellt sich heut' nichts in die Quere
Der Nachtwind säuselt leise im Baum
Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum!

Die letzten Gäste gehen
Des Abends Reste bleiben noch stehen
So viel zu sagen steht noch im Raum:
Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum!

Die Straßen beginnen zu schlafen
Lichter stehen Spalier
Dein Traumboot verläßt heut' den Hafen
Träumst Du von mir?

Bis uns der Morgen findet
Bis dann der Mond ganz heimlich verschwindet
wiegt uns die Nacht, wir spüren es kaum
Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum!

Und über Millionen von Dächern
schleicht nur noch der Wind
Er singt Dir von all meinen Träumen
die bei Dir sind
 
Bis uns der Morgen findet
Bis dann der Mond ganz heimlich verschwindet
wiegt uns die Nacht, wir spüren es kaum
Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum!

Und über Millionen von Dächern
schleicht nur noch der Wind
Er singt Dir von all meinen Träumen
die bei Dir sind

Wie schwarz die Nacht auch wäre...
Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum...

Cross My Heart And Hope To Die
Composer(s): Sid Wayne; Benjamin Weisman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



I can explain about last night
Though things didn't look just right
Please believe me there was nothing wrong
I thought about you baby all night long
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie, mmm

Talk about a piece of rotten luck
You do a friend a favor and you wind up stuck
She couldn't hold a candle to you, no siree
Very hard to handle like a Model T
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie

Please believe me when I say
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
From you 'cause I don't have to look too hard
To see what I've got in my own back yard
So please forgive me and forget
Don't say my alloy's all wet (?)
I miss those kisses from your honeycomb
This humble bumble bee just wants to fly back home
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie

I wouldn't tell you no lie
No no no no no no
I wouldn't tell you no lie

J'aurais voulu danser
J'aurais voulu tourner
Jusqu'à la fin des jours
Toute étourdie de joie
Toute imprégnée de toi
Au rythme de l'amour
Toute la nuit, toute la vie peut-être
Juste le temps de se connaître

Si j'avais su
J'aurais compris comme un aveu
Tout ce que me disaient
Tes yeux

Mais depuis lors
Je danse encore en rêve
Avec ton nom au bord des lèvres
J'ai le regret de toi
Ton souvenir m'entoure
Car c'était toi, oui toi
L'amour

Composer(s): John Alexander
Performer(s): Johnny Ace



I cross my heart
And I hope to die
If I should ever
Ever make you cry
'Cause you're my all
Darling, you're a part of me

I swear by every
Every star above
I'll be with you
Please take my love
You're everything
Everything a love can be

I tread the world
Of the treasures of your charms
My dear, I'll never be free
Be with me right here in my arms
You're my queen, you'll always be

I swear, I swear
By all that's real
No love but yours
I'll ever feel
I cross my heart
And if I lie
I hope to die

I cross my heart
And if I lie
I hope to die

J'Aurais Seulement Voulu
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Qu'aurais-je été qu'aurais-je été
Si ce n'est au violon ce qu'est la chanterelle
Cette corde que fait chanter
Vivaldi au printemps couleur de tourterelle

J'aurais simplement voulu être heureux
J'aurais simplement voulu
La la la la la la la la
J'aurais seulement voulu

Qu'aurais-je été qu'aurais-je été
S'il ne montait ce chant au travers de ma gorge
Témoin de la réalité
Du monde de malheur que les hommes se forgent

J'aurais simplement voulu être heureux
J'aurais simplement voulu
La la la la la la la la
J'aurais seulement voulu

Qu'aurais-je été qu'aurais-je été
Sinon cet inconnu qui croit qu'on lui pardonne
Pour son accent de vérité
De ravir au passant la chanson qu'il fredonne

J'aurais simplement voulu être heureux
J'aurais simplement voulu
La la la la la la la la
J'aurais seulement voulu

Qu'aurais-je été qu'aurais-je été
Sinon cette vallée que tous les vents traversent
Mes certitudes ballotées
Ces mots à peine éclos à mes lèvres qui gercent

J'aurais tant voulu vivre un monde heureux
J'aurais seulement voulu
La la la la la la la la
J'aurais seulement voulu

This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us
Composer(s): Ron Mael
First release by: Sparks - 1974



Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your favourite type, and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This town ain't big enough for both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Flying domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near do not show any fear
Heartbeat increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-coloured bombadier it's Hiroshima that you're nearing
This town ain't big enough for both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle in to the cafe where you meet her each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do
This town ain't big enough for both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Shower, another shower
You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down
This town ain't big enough for both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town though not enough to go round
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You know that:
This town isn't big enough
not big enough for both of us
This town isn't big enough
not big enough for both of us
And I ain't gonna leave

Cross My Heart
Composer(s): Brandon; Wiener
Performer(s): Billy Fury



I've heard the rumour spreading all over town
They say I'm giving you the runaround
Believe me Darling, I never told a lie
Cross my heart and hope to die

Some other fellow wants to take you out
And he's just trying to fill your heart with doubt
Believe me Darling, I never told a lie
Cross my heart and hope to die

Pay no attention to the things that you've heard
You're still my only girl, I give you my word
I took your best friend out just like they say
She helped me buy a gift for your birthday

Believe me darling, I never told a lie
Cross my heart and hope to die
I cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my ...
