There Will Never Be Another You
There Will Never Be Another You
Composer(s): Harry Warren - Mack Gordon
First performance by: John Payne & Joan Merrill - 1942
Covered by multiple other artists
This is our last dance together
Tonight soon will be long ago
And in our moment of parting
This is all I want you to know
There will be many other nights like this
And I'll be standing here with someone new
There will be other songs to sing
Another fall, another spring
But there will never be another you
There will be other lips that I may kiss
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do
Yes, I may dream a million dreams
But how can they come true
If there will never ever be another you

Convite
Convite
Composer(s): Guillermo De Anda
Performer(s): Javier Solís
Señalándome la gente ya no puedo vivir más
les dirás que todos mienten
que te adoro locamente
que no dicen la verdad
Si tú sabes que te quiero
que por ti mil veces muero
tienes que acallar las cosas
que andan ya de boca en boca
repartiendo su veneno
En las cosas del amor nunca podrán ser más de dos
y esto es un convite ya que la verdad no puedo más
Si toditos los latidos de mi amante corazón
sólo a ti te pertenecen por derecho, por amor
lo que va de boca en boca no nos debe de importar
si al Señor crucificaron qué podemos esperar
En las cosas del amor nunca podrán ser más de dos
y esto es un convite ya que la verdad no puedo más
Si toditos los latidos de mi amante corazón
sólo a ti te pertenecen por derecho, por amor
lo que va de boca en boca no nos debe de importar
si al Señor crucificaron qué podemos esperar

Les nuits de ta vie
Sont froides comme des bambous
N'écoute donc pas les autres
Oui sèche bien tes joues
Ecoute le vent fou, qui dit...
Rubis, comme je t'aime
Le feu est dans la plaine, le rhum dans ma main
Rubis, vois, comme je t'aime
Le feu est dans la plaine, ta bague dans ma main
Ils sont tous partis
A d'autres rendez-vous
Et toi tu pleures toute seule
Comme une rue sans joie
Fille écoute le vent fou, qui dit...
Rubis, comme je t'aime
Le feu est dans la plaine, le rhum dans ma main
Oh, Rubis, vois, comme je t'aime
Le feu est dans la plaine, ta bague dans ma main

There Used To Be A Ball Park
There Used To Be A Ball Park
Composer(s): Joe Raposo
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
And there used to be a ball park
Where the field was warm and green
And the people played their crazy game
With a joy I'd never seen
And the air was such a wonder
From the hot dogs and the beer
Yes, there used to be a ball park... right here
And there used to be rock candy
And a great big Fourth of July
With the fireworks exploding
All across the summer sky
And the people watched in wonder
How they laughed and how they'd cheer
And there used to be a ball park... right here
Now the children try to find it
And they can't believe their eyes
'Cause the old team just isn't playing
And the new team hardly tries
And the sky has got so cloudy
When it used to be so clear
And the summer went so quickly... this year
Yes, there used to be a ball park... right here

Conversation With The Devil
Conversation With The Devil
Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
I had a dream last night I was cast into Hell by a jealous God
The Devil walked up and said you don't need no lightning rod
It hardly ever rains down here I can't recall the last storm
You aint gonna need that leather jacket it gets kinda warm
There's one way in there's no way out looks like you're to stay
The place is a mess, it's overcrowded, more are coming in everyday
I said ah man, wait a minute there's gotta be something wrong
I aint a bad guy just write these little songs
I always pay my union dues don't stay in the passing lane
And he said what about all that whiskey and the cocaine
I said well yeah but that's no reason to throw me in Hell
'Cause I didn't use the cocaine to get high, I just liked the way it smelled
He said come on over here son, let me show you around
Over there's where we put the preachers, I never liked those clowns
They're always blaming me for everything wrong under the sun
It aint harder to what's right, it's just maybe not as much fun
Then the walk around thinking they're better than me and you
Then they get caught in a motel room doing what they said not to do
Now the murderers and the rapists they go in this firey lake
As well as most of the politician and the cops on the take
And all the mothers that wait to get to KMart to spank their kids
Instead of showing what to do what's right, they just hit 'em for what they did
And all the daddy's who run off and abandon their daughters and sons
Oh anybody that hurts a child is gonna burn until it's done
Everybody is down here I said who's up in Heaven with God and the Son
Oh some saints and mystics and students of metaphysics 101
People who care and share and love and try to do what's right
Beautiful old souls who read a little stories to their babies every night
What you wont find up in Heaven are Christian Coalition Right Wing Conservatives
Country program directors and Nashville record executives
Now I said I've made some mistakes, but I'm not as bad as those guys
How can God to this to me or can't she sympathize
He said you're wrong about God being cruel and mean
Oh God is the most loving thing that's never been seen
I said hotshot tell me this which religion is the truest
He said there all about the same, Budda was not a Christian, but Jesus woulda made a good buddist
Well I thought about my future I didn't seem to have much of one
I looked around to leave but there was no place to run
I said I don't suppose I could go back and try living again
You know like reincarnation I hear that's the way it's always been
I can't answer that he said you're gonna have to wait for that response
But it's not any more unusual to be born twice than it is to be born once
Well it looked like I was gonna be stuck here as far as I could tell
I thought I might as well suck up you know what the hell
I said you know that soung that Charlie Daniels did
About how you went down to Georgia and played fiddle against that kid
He said yeah it broke my heart but you know what are you gonna do
I said to tell you the truth I thought your solo was the better of the two
Well then I woke up and I was lying in my bed
I went upstairs and kissed my little boy on his sleeping head
I took this dream as a sign from God so I thought I'd better pray
I said don't ever speak to me directly and thanks anyway
Now so much has changed about me besides me just giving up red meat
Some get spiritual cause they see the light and some cause they feel the heat

Rubias De New York
Rubias De New York
Composer(s): Carlos Gardel; Alfredo Le Pera
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel;
and various other artists
Mary, Peggy, Betty, Julie, rubias de New York
cabecitas adoradas que vierten amor
dan envidia a las estrellas, yo no se vivir sin ellas
Mary, Peggy, Betty, Julie, de labios en flor
Es como un cristal la risa loca de Julie
es como el cantar de un manantial
turba mi soñar el dulce hechizo de Peggy
su mirar azul, hondo como el mar
Deliciosas criaturas perfumadas
quiero el beso de sus boquitas pintadas
son ágiles muñecas del olvido y del placer
rien su alegria como un cascabel
Rubio cóctel que emborracha, así es Mary
su melena que es de plata, quiero para mí
si el amor que me ogrecía, solo dura un breve día
tiene el fuego de una brasa, tu pasión, Peggy
Es como un cristal la risa loca de Julie
es como el cantar ...

Conversations With Death (aka "Death And A Lady: Echoes Of A Mortal Conversation" or "Oh Death")
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Dock Boggs
and multiple other artists
What is this that I can see
With icy hands taking hold on me
I am death and none can excel
I'll open the doors to heaven or hell
Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year?
Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year
Oh, death, someone would pray
Couldn’t you call some other day
God's children prayed
The preacher's preached
The time of mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
I'll lock your jaws so you can't talk
Close your eyes so you can 't see
This very hour come go with me
Death, I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh oft of the frame
The earth and worms both have a claim
Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year?
Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year
My mother come to my bed
Place a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm, my feet is cold
Death is moving upon my soul
Oh, death, how you treating me
Close my eyes so I can't see
You hurt my body
You make me cold
You're ruling my life right out of my soul
Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year?
Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year
Oh, death, please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
The old, the young, the rich or poor
Are all alike with me, you know
No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year?
Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year

Reuben James (The Kingston Trio)
Reuben James
Composer(s): Almanac Singers; Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
Have you heard of the ship called
"The Good Reuben James?"
Armed by hard-fighting men both of honor and of fame
She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea
Chorus
Oh, tell me what were their names?, tell me what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?
Oh, tell me what were their names?, tell me what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?
One hundred men went down to their dark and watery grave
When that good ship went down, only forty-four were saved
Was the last day of October, they saved forty-four
From the dark, icy waters of that cold Iceland shore
Chorus
It was there in the dark of that cold and watery night
They watched for the U-boat and they waited for a fight
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion's roar
They laid the Reuben James on the cold ocean floor
Chorus
Many years have passed since those brave men are gone
Those cold icy waters, they're still and they're calm
Many years have passed and still I wonder why
The worst of men must fight and the best of men must die
Chorus

T'en vas pas comme ça
Sans me donner la moindre chance

Tu ne peux pas me quitter
Sans m'écouter
Il n'y avait rien de vrai
Dans tout ce que l'on t'a dit
Je t'en supplie
T'en vas pas comme ca
A chaque instant chaque seconde
Tu étais pour moi
Le seul amour le seul au monde
Pour toujours, je t'ai juré
Fidelité
Je ne t'ai jamais trahi
Un seul jour de ma vie
Je t'en supplie
T'en vas pas comme ça, t'en vas pas comme ça
Je ne peux plus exister sans toi
Je sais que tu m'aimes encore
Je suis sûr que tu m'aimes encore
Je sais que tu m'aimes encore
Je suis sûr que tu m'aimes encore
A chaque instant chaque seconde
Le seul amour le seul au monde
Accepte-moi comme je suis
Accepte-moi comme je suis...

Reuben James (Kenny Rogers)
Reuben James
Composer(s): Barry Etris; Alex Harvey
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
Reuben James, in my song you live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you Reuben James
Reuben James all the folks around Madison County
Cussed your name just a no
Count share croppin colored man
Who would steal anything he can
And they always laid the blame on Reuben James
Reuben James, you still walk furrowed fields on my mind
The faded skirt the weathered brow
The calloused hand up on the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
Flora James, Reuben James
Gray, a gossip of Madison County died with child
And although your skin was black
It was you that would not turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James
Reuben James, with your mind on my soul
And the bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
A better world is a waiting for the meek
In my head those words remain from Reuben James
Reuben James one dark cloudy day
That brought you from the fields
And to your lonely pine box came
Just a preacher, me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for Reuben James

There She Is, Miss America
Composer(s): Bernie Wayne
There she is, Miss America
There she is, your ideal
The dream of a million girls who are more than pretty can come true
in Atlantic City
For she may turn out to be the Queen of femininity
There she is, Miss America
There she is, your ideal
With so many beauties she took the town by storm
With her all-American face and form
And there she is
Walking on air, she is
Fairest of the fair, she is
There she is - Miss America

Ruben And Cherise
Ruben And Cherise
Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Jerry Garcia
Performer(s): Jerry Garcia
Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down
It was the afternoon of carnival as she brushes it gently down
Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin
It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade played in the carnival parade
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white
When a fatal vision gripped her tight Cherise beware tonight
Rubin, Rubin tell me truly true
I feel afraid and I don't know why I do, Is there another girl for you?
If you could see my heart you would know it's true
There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you
I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, say I fall down cold
When Rubin played on his painted mandolin
The breeze would pause to listen in before going on its way again
Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke
Like waves against the bandstand, dancers broke to the painted mandolin
Looking out to the crowd who is standing there
Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared
She was dressed as Pirouette in red
And her hair hung gently down
The crowd pressed round, Ruby stood as though alone
Rubin's song took on a different tone and he played it just for her
The song he played was the carnival parade
Each note cut a thread of Cherise's fate it cut through like a blade
Rubin was playing his painted mandolin
When Ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings played all alone
The voice of Cherise from the face of the mandolin
Singing Rubin, Rubin tell me true for I have no one but you
If you could see my heart you would know it true
There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you
I'd swear to it on my very soul
If I lie, say I fall down cold
The truth of love an unsung song must tell
The course of love must follow blind without a look behind
Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn
Cherise so lightly in his arms and her hair hung gently down

There she goes again
She’s out on the streets again
She’s down on her knees, my friend
But you know she’ll never ask you please again
Now take a look, there’s no tears in her eyes
She won’t take it from just any guy, what can you do
You see her walkin’ on down the street
Look at all your friends she’s gonna meet
You better hit her
There she goes again
She’s knocked out on her feet again
She’s down on her knees, my friend
But you know she’ll never ask you please again
Now take a look, there’s no tears in her eyes
Like a bird, you know she would fly, what can you do
You see her walkin’ on down the street
Look at all your friends that she’s gonna meet
You better hit her
Now take a look, there’s no tears in her eyes
Like a bird, you know she will fly, fly, fly away
See her walking on down the street
Look at all your friends that she’s gonna meet
She’s gonna bawl and shout
She’s gonna work it
She’s gonna work it out, bye bye
Bye bye baby

Conversation Peace
Conversation Peace
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder
Staring right at 2000 AD
As if mankind's atrocities to man has no history
But just a glance at life in 2000 BC
We find traces of man's inhumanity to man
There's no mystery
All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace
We can't pause, watch and say "no" this can't be
When there's a plan by any means to have
Cleansing of one's ethnicity
And we shouldn't act as if we don't hear nor see
Like the holocaust of six million Jews and
A hundred and fifty million blacks during slavery
All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace
When publicly or privately convened
May love, positivity and life's preservation
be the basic theme
And should you put your trust in some
prophet in life
Give him trust but your faith must stay
with the one
Who gave the ultimate sacrifice for...
All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace
Less the conversation's peace
