No I never heard through the grapevine How you left long before your time But in France on the radio I could not understand a word But I felt you go We waited all night for the midnight lover's calling It was the coldest day of the year And I'm still thawing I didn't sleep a wink But while radio played I was day dreaming Of what might have been While the cold night air was freezing The coldest night The coldest day of the year What is happening mother father please Who will save us from the autumn breeze Shivering to a halt no one wants to speak too soon Although we all knew under the pale blue moon The pale moon The pale blue moon What happens then when the sun goes down Tell me what's the word Johannesburg When the rent goes up and the lights go down On the coldest day outside the coldest town We waited all night and I'm still falling I didn't sleep a wink But while radio played I was day dreaming Of what might have been While the cold night air was freezing The coldest night The coldest day of the year The coldest night The coldest day of the year The coldest night, day, year
Cold, Haily, Windy Night (Traditional) Performer(s): Steeleye Span and various other artists
Oh me hat it is frozen to me head Me feet they are like a lump of lead Oh me shoes they are frozen to me feet With standing at your window
Let me in, the soldier cried Cold haily windy night Oh let me in, the soldier cried For I'll not go back again, no
Me father he watches down on the street Me mother the chamber keys do keep Oh, the doors and the windows they do creak I dare not let you in
Let me in, the soldier cried Cold haily windy night Oh let me in, the soldier cried For I'll not go back again, no
Oh and she's rose up and she's let him in She's kissed her true love cheek and chin And she's drawn him between her sheets again And she opened and she let him in
Then she has blessed the rainy night Cold haily windy night Oh then she has blessed the rainy night That she opened and she let him in
Soldier, soldier stay with me Soldier, soldier won't you marry me Oh no, no, no, it never can be So fare bid thee well forever
Then she has wept for the rainy night Cold haily windy night Then she has wept for the rainy night That she opened and she let him in
Oh and he's jumped up all out of the bed He's put his hat all on his head But she had lost her maidenhead Her mother she heard the din
Then she has cursed the rainy night Cold haily windy night O then she has cursed the rainy night That she opened and she let him in
Cold, Cold, Cold Composer(s): Lowell George Originally performed by: Little Feat
Cold, cold, cold Cold, cold, cold Freezing, it was freezing in that hotel I had no money, my special friend was gone The TV set was busted so she went along I called room, room service I'm down here on my knees A peach or a pear, or a coconut please But they was cold
Well it's been a month since I seen my girl Or a dime to make the call 'Cause it passed me up, or it passed me by Or I couldn't decide at all And I'm mixed up, I'm so mixed up Don't you know I'm lonely And I wish the world would get off of my case And get on one of its own
Cold, cold, cold Cold, cold, cold That woman was freezing, freezing cold Well I tried everything to warm her up Now I'm living in this cold hotel 'Cause she passed me, up or she passed me by Or I couldn't decide at all Oh I'm mixed up, yes I'm mixed up Don't you know I'm lonely Of all the things I had to do I had to fall in love You know she's cold
Turn your clock back woman when you see me comin' round My feet don't, feet don't even touch the ground don't be cold, don't be cold don't be cold, don't be cold

Cold, Cold Heart Composer(s): Hank Williams Originally performed by: Hank Williams Covered by various other artists
I tried so hard, my dear, to show That you're my every dream Yet you're afraid each thing I do Is just some evil scheme A memory from your lonesome past Keeps us so far apart Why can't I free your doubtful mind And melt your cold, cold heart
Another love before my time Made your heart sad and blue And so my heart is paying now For things I didn't do In anger unkind words are said That make the teardrops start Why can't I free your doubtful mind And melt your cold, cold heart
You'll never know how much it hurts To see you sit and cry You know you need and want my love Yet you're afraid to try Why do you run and hide from lies To try, it just ain't smart Why can't I free your doubtful mind And melt your cold, cold heart
There was a time when I believed That you belonged to me But now I know your heart Is shackled to a memory The more I learn to care for you The more we drift apart Why can't I free your doubtful mind And melt your cold, cold heart
Cold Wind In August Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison

I was standing shivering I've got the fever in the rain But I can't come on back to see you Again and again and again
I said I, I had to have you Baby I had to have you Come rain, come rain or shine
It was a cold wind in August Shivers up and down my spine And I was standing in your garden In the California pine California pine
It was a cold wind in August Shivers up and down my spine I was standin' in your garden In the California pine In the California pine
It was a cold wind in August I was pushed on through September Oh pushin' through September In the rain Pushin' through, pushin' through September In the rain
Ooh It was a cold wind in August Shivers up and down my spine I was standin' standin' in your garden In the California pine

A woman came and said to me She'd seen a lady sell her baby For ten or twenty dollars maybe And everybody thinks she's crazy They're too blind to see She never failed to call attention To the things we never mention Real horror, daily, courtesy of your TV C'est La Vie
A woman came and said to me Now listen very carefully There's brother killing brother People living on their knees Biting sugar coated bullets For the pain of this disease C'est La Vie
A woman came and said to me She had a husband on an island Found his body on a wasteland Soldiers came and took him Just to torture her you see All alone she mourned her lover Crossed the sea to find a brother Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free C'est La Vie
A woman came and said to me Now listen very carefully There's brother killing brother People living on their knees Biting sugar coated bullets For the pain of this disease C'est La Vie

Bayou Woman Composer(s): Tony Joe White Performer(s): Jerry Reed; Tony Joe White; The Lazy Boys
Across the river an owl was callin' As he slowly made his rounds A midnight dew was softly falling On the ground, on the ground
She was standing by the campfire I watched her move into the dance And when she looked at me with those sexy eyes They seemed to say, "Hey boy, d'ya wanna take a chance?"
Bayou woman you make me feel it Dancing barefoot in the night Moving softly in the shadows In the pale moonlight
Behind the clouds, the moon was slipping I felt her move into my arms She said, "Are you into skinnin'?" I said, "Anything baby, to keep warm"
Bayou woman you make me feel it Runnin' barefoot in the night Standing golden by the river In the pale moonlight
Bayou woman you make me feel it Dancin' barefoot in the night Moving softly in the shadows In the pale, pale moonlight
