Men Bara Om Min Älskade Väntar ((Adapted from: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan) - 1962))
((Dutch Version: Huiswaarts (Ernst Jansz) - 2010))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Nationalteatern
Performer(s): Nationalteatern - 1978
Om idag inte var en ändlös landsväg
och i natt en vild och krokig stig
om i morgon inte kändes så oändlig
Då är ensamhet ett ord som inte finns
Men bara om min älskade väntar
och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå...
Bara om hon låg här tätt intill mig
kan jag bli den jag var igår
Jag kan inte se min spegelbild i vattnet
Jag kan inte säga sorgelösa ord
Jag hör inte mitt eko slå mot gatan
Kan inte minnas vem jag var igår
Men bara om min älskade väntar...
Det finns skönhet i flodens silversånger
Det finns skönhet i gryningssolens sken
Men då ser jag i min älskades ögö
en skönhet större än allting som jag vet!
Och bara om jag vet att hon väntar
och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå
Bara om hon låg tätt intill mig
kan jag bli den jag var igår
Tomorrow And Tomorrow Composer(s): Fripp - McDonald - Lake - Giles - Sinfield Performer(s): King Crimson
The wall on which the prophets wrote Is cracking at the seams Upon the instruments of death The sunlight brightly gleams When every man is torn apart With nightmares and with dreams Will no one lay the laurel wreath As silence drowns the screams
Between the iron gates of fate The seeds of time were sown And watered by the deeds of those Who know and who are known Knowledge is a deadly friend When no one sets the rules The fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools
Confusion will be my epitaph As I crawl a cracked and broken path If we make it we can all sit back and laugh But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
I Got The Sun In The Morning Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Doris Day and multiple other artists

Johnny Reb Composer(s): Merle Kilgore Performer(s): Johnny Horton; and various other artists
Chorus: You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee You held your head high tryin' to win the victory You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain Even tho' you lost they speak highly of your name, 'cause
(Chorus)
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side I saw the young boys as they began to fall You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all, but
(Chorus)
I saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his hand Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead, 'cause
(Chorus)
When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall The folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ball But he asked the band to play the song Dixie For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe
You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb

Johnny One Time Composer(s): A.L. Owens; Dallas Frazier Performer(s): Brenda Lee; Henson Cargill; Loretta Lynn; Jody Miller; Willie Nelson
So he told you that you're the dream
that he's been searching for And he told you that he'd never met anyone like you before And I can hear him telling you your lips taste just like sherry wine But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time
Did he tell you that your heart would soon become Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts Did he tell you that the special love you're saving Will disappear in flames of shame like mine Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time
So he told you that he'd never lead your heart astray And he told you that he'd love you forever and a day And I can hear him telling you that he's the shy and bashful kind But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time
Oh, did he tell you that your heart will soon become Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts And did he tell you that the morning sun will find you Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts Did he tell you that the special love you're saving Will disappear in flames of shame like mine Oh, did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time.

Tomo Y Obligo Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Manuel Romero Performer(s): Carlos Gardel
Tomo y obligo, ¡mándese un trago! que hoy necesito el recuerdo matar sin un amigo, lejos del pago quiero en su pecho mi pena volcar Beba conmigo, y si se empaña de vez en cuando mi voz al cantar no es que la llore porque me engaña ¡yo sé que un hombre no debe llorar!
Si los pastos conversaran esa pampa le diría de qué modo la quería con qué fiebre la adoré cuántas veces de rodillas tembloroso yo me hincaba bajo el árbol deshojado donde un día la besé Y hoy al verla envilecida a otros brazos entregada fue pa' mí una puñalada y de celos me cegué y le juro, todavía no consigo convencerme cómo pude contenerme ¡si ahí no más no la maté!
Tomo y obligo, ¡mándese un trago! ¡De las mujeres mejor no hay que hablar! Todas, amigo, dan muy mal pago y hoy mi experiencia lo puede afirmar Siga un consejo: ¡no se enamore! y si una vuelta le toca hocicar ¡fuerza, canejo, sufra y no llore que un hombre macho no debe llorar!
I Got The Hoss Composer(s): House Performer(s): Mel Tillis

In the moonlight, by the river By the honeysuckle vine We'll be ridin', peepin' and hidin' Till we see the morning light
Well, I got the hoss and you got the saddle We gonna ride side by side Whoa, I got the hoss and she got the saddle Together we gonna ride, ride, ride
Hey baby! Let's stop for a little while I need to give my old hoss a rest And you know they ain't no use In us tryin' to wear out your brand new saddle
Hear the cricketts singin' softly Never heard a sweeter sound And you know cricketts do their singin' By just rubbin' their legs around
Well, I got the hoss and she got the saddle We like to ride side by side Oh, I got the hoss and she got the saddle Together we gonna ride, ride, ride
Well, I got the hoss and she got the saddle We like to ride side by side Oh, I got the hoss and she got the saddle Together we gonna ride, ride, ride
Yeah, and I got the hoss and she got the saddle We like to ride side by side Oh, I got the hoss and she got the saddle Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Tommys Doll Composer(s): Glen Tubb - Jack Moran Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
The kids all laughed at Tommy's Doll but Tommy didnt care Cause he felt so much better when that little doll was their His Mom and Dad were busy doing things that parents do So Tommy's Doll was all he had to tell his troubles too
When Tommy reach the age of five his Daddy said Now Son Its time to trade your dolly in for this soldier and this gun But Tommy said O Daddy please My dolly wants to stay But his father said Now be a man and he threw the doll away
Tommy never talked much after that He just sort of went into a shell But he never cried he just held inside All those things he couldnt tell
Then one day he saw his dolly way from a trashcan across the street And like a flash he darted out his little friend to meet He never saw the speeding car nor heard the screeching sound And before the driver knew it, he had run poor Tommy down
The people came as people do and looked down at the boy He just laid there for a moment like a tragic broken toy Then reaching out his little arms he sat up straight and tall And whispered with his dieing breath Someone please hand me my doll
Johnny Get Angry Composer(s): Hal David; Sherman Edwards; Donald Meyer Performer(s): Joanie Sommers; Shelley Fabares

Chorus
Every girl wants someone who She can always look up to You know I love you, of course Let me know that you're the boss
Chorus
Johnny, get angry, Johnny Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

J'étais avec une fille qui me plaisait bien Mais j'ai du la quitter sans attendre demain Malgré son amour elle ne me comprenait pas Car elle était trop différente de moi

Reviens Johnny reviens, viens Johnny reviens, viens Johnny reviens, viens Johnny reviens, viens Ah! Reviens vers moi
Et quand j'aurai voulu l'avoir seul avec moi Elle amenait des copainss qui troublaient ma joie Quand je voulais sortir elle ne le voulait pas Si je ne cédait pas elle pleurait dans mes bras
Elle n'a pas su comprendre Pourquoi je l'ai quitté Sitôt que je la vois Elle ne sait que répéter
Reviens Johnny reviens, viens Johnny reviens, viens Johnny reviens, viens Johnny reviens, viens Ah! Reviens vers moi
Je l'ai retrouvé hier au soir avec mes copains Elle m'a semblé changé elle n'avait plus de chagrin Je croyais bien qu'elle m'avait enfin oublié Mais il n'en était rien j'ai pu le constater
Elle n'a pas su comprendre Pourquoi je l'ai quitté Toujours elle ne fait que répéter
Reviens Johnny reviens, viens Johnny reviens, viens Johnny reviens, viens Johnny reviens, viens Ah! Reviens vers moi
