You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne (Put on the red light)

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have you to tell just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

There Is A New Moon
There Is A New Moon
Performer(s): Jim Reeves
There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
I remember now that I am older
What you told me the day we had to part
You promised with the new moon you would be coming back to me
Many moons have passed, still I am waiting patiently
There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
Now I am wishing I had been bolder, then perhaps we would'nt be so far apart
You promised you will write to me, but so forth not a line
Still I am waiting pariently that someday you will be mine
There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

Conscience Where Were You (When I Needed You Last Night)
Conscience Where Were You (When I Needed You Last Night)
Composer(s): Warren Robb - Sanger D. Shafer
Performer(s): Moe Bandy
You came to me this mornin', several hours late
I looked for you last night, she would not wait
You tell me I've been cheatin', your voice cuts like a knife
But conscience, where were you when I needed you last night
Her lips held on like honey, her eyes were secret blue
While you were gone my arms were so untrue
I started once to leave her, but her skin was all night white
Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night
Conscience, where were you when passion started pushing
Where were you when she came on just right
You know I love my woman, I'd never make her cry
Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night
I started once to leave her, but her skin was all night white
Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night
Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night

Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, Row, Row Your Boat (aka The Old Log Hut)
Composer(s): R. Sinclair - Eliphalet Oram Lyte
Down by the river, the old log hut stands
Where Mamma and Daddy once dwelt
And the old oak latch that was worn by the hands
And the church where in prayer they knelt
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream
Time and its rapid remorseless plan
Has furrowed our brows with care
And the icy touch of its withered hand
Has slivered our locks of hair
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream
Our children have grown and have children of their own
I hear their voices echo still
And the old rocking horse sits quiet on the porch
As we listen to the wishful whippoorwill
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream
Tall grass is growing over the master's grave
But the river keeps rolling on
And the birds and the bees from the blossoms and the trees
Keep singing this same old song
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream
For all that is past is over, you know
And the future is but a dream

Conscience Point
Conscience Point
Composer(s): Billy Squier
Performer(s): Billy Squier
Freedom rider...though you’ve tried
Words are not enough for you now...
It’s hard on your pride
I can’t find you...though I know you
You are just a step out of line...
Come closer to me
When the lines are drawn
And no one comes to break us down
And the walls that stood between us
Tumble to the ground
It’s time to find someone to run to
I’ve got a place in mind
It’s known as conscience point
It’s where the clouds roll by
They say that nothin’ really matters
I’m goin’ out to find
Why people come this way
And put the past behind
You know there really is a reason
Changing faces...trading places
Nothing lasts anymore...it’s hard when you try
Star-crossed lovers run for cover
I don’t know if it’s right...but I know how I feel
When you’re tired of all those things
You never said before
And although you’ve tried you never opened that door
It’s time to find someone to run to
We’ll run the roads tonite
We’ll meet at conscience point
I look into your eyes
You say that nothin’ really matters
If I could change your mind
If you would look my way
And leave it all behind
You’d know you really mean so much to me
When you’ve tired of all those things
You’ve never done before
And you never took the time
To fall in love before
You’ve got to find someone to...yea
We’ll run the roads tonite
We’ll meet at conscience point
I’ll look into your eyes
And know that somethin’ really matters
’cause we can change our minds
And we can find our way
And leave it all behind
’cause you really mean that much to me
Conscience point...take a walk with me
And put it all behind
We’ll make some history

Row! Row! Row!
Row! Row! Row!
Composer(s): William Jerome; James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Ada Jones;
and various other artists
Young Johnny Jones he had a cute little boat
And all the girlies he would take for a float
He had girlies on the shore
Sweet little peaches by the score
But master Johnny was a wis'un, you know
His steady girl was Flo
And every Sunday afternoon
She'd jump in his boat
And they would spoon
And then he'd row, row, row
Way up the river he would row, row, row
A hug he'd give her
Then he'd kiss her now and then
She would tell him when,
They'd fool around and fool around
And then they'd kiss again.
And then he'd row, row, row
A little further he would go, oh, oh, oh
Then he'd drop both his oars
Take a few more encores
And then he'd row, row, row
And then he'd row, row, row
Way up the river he would row, row, row
A hug he'd give her
Then he'd kiss her now and then
She would tell him when,
They'd fool around and fool around
And then they'd kiss again.
And then he'd row, row, row
A little further he would go, oh, oh, oh
Then we'll drop both our oars
Take a round of applause
And then we'll go, go, go

Conscience
Conscience
Composer(s): Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): James Darren
I got a date tonight with such a sweet little innocent thing
I'll sweep 'er off her feet before she knows what's a-happening
I'm gonna hand her (ooh) my "sweet-talkin'" line
I know it kills her (shriek!) every time
She's gonna love me from the start
And then I'm gonna break her heart
(Unh, unh, unh, unh)
(This is your conscience speaking)
(Be kind and sentimental, treat her tenderly)
('cause if you're not a gentleman, you're gonna hear from me)
(And if she loves you from the very start now listen, Jimmy)
(I'm tellin' you, you better not break her heart)
(No, no, no, no-no, no-no)
Oh, yes I will (Oh, no, you won't)
Yes, I will (No, you won't)
Oh, yes I will, yes I will, yes I will!!
I'm just a big bad wolf, I know tonight I'll be looking' so good
She'll be a helpless child just like a-Little Red Riding' Hood
I'm gonna charm her (mmm!) right into a trance
I know she'll never (wow!) stand a chance
She's gonna love me from the start
And then I'm gonna break her heart
(Unh, unh, unh, unh)
(This is your conscience speaking)
(Be kind and sentimental, treat her tenderly)
('cause if you're not a gentleman, you're gonna hear from me)
(And if she loves you from the very start now listen, Jimmy)

Man, my reputation!!

Roving Gambler
Roving Gambler
Composer(s): Dean Manuel; Bobby Dyson
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
I am a roving gambler
Gamble all around
Whenever I need a deck of cards
I lay my money down
I've gambled down in Cape Town
Played cards in Bloemfontein
But I'm going back to Kimberley
To gamble my last game
To gamble my last game
I hadn't been in Kimberley
Many more days than three
When I fell in love with a purdy little girl
She fell in love with me
She took me in her parlour
Cooled me with a fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear
I love this gambling man
I love this gambling man
Tonight I'll go out on the town
Hoping lady luck will bring
A winning hand to this gambling man
Then I'll buy a diamond ring
The gamblers took their places
The cards were dealt around
I caught him dealing from the bottom of the deck
And I shot that gambler down
Here I am in prison
Dragging a ball and chain
I can still hear the old judge say
You've gambled your last game
Gambled your last game

There I Go
There I Go
Composer(s): Irving Weiser - Hy Zaret
Performer(s): Bebe Daniels
and multiple other artists
There I go, leading with my heart again
And there I go, acting not so smart again
But though it's unwise
I can't disguise my love
Though one knows too much love will curb the fire
Yet there I go, led astray by my desire
There's no golden rule
To guide a fool in love
I tell my heart, "Be careful
Or you'll find that you'll dream alone"
I'm wise, it's true, what good does it do
My heart has a mind of it's own
There I go, spilling all the dreams I knew
And there I go, thrillingly in love with you
Don't know if you care
Darling, but there I go
I tell my heart, "Be careful
Or you'll find that you'll dream alone"
I'm wise, it's true, what good does it do
My heart has a mind of it's own
There I go, spilling all the dreams I knew
And there I go, thrillingly in love with you
Don't know if you care
Darling, but there I go

Conquistador (Procol Harum)
Conquistador
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
First release by: Procol Harum - 1967
Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company
And like some angel's haloed brow
You reek of purity
I see your armor plated breast
Has long since lost its sheen
And in your death mask face
There are no signs which can be seen
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador a vulture sits, upon your silver sheath
And in your rusty scabbard now, the sand has taken seed
And though your jewel-encrusted blade
Has not been plundered still
The sea has washed across your face
And taken of its fill
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador there is no time, I must pay my respect
And though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regret
And as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
Though you came with sword held high
You did not conquer, only die
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind

You see Amarillo

when you make that California trip

There He Goes
There He Goes
Composer(s): Eddie Miller - Durwood Haddock - W.S. Stevenson
Performer(s): Patsy Cline
There he goes, he's walkin' away
Each step he takes brings heartaches my way
She won his heart, I lost him someway
There he goes, he's walkin' away
If I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied
I'd be the one, walkin' by his side
I love him still and I guess that it shows
He's walkin' away, there he goes
Oh, if I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied
I'd be the one walkin' by his side
I love him still and I guess that is shows
He's walkin' away, there he goes

Roundabout
Roundabout
Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Steve Howe
Performer(s): Yes
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
And change the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I'll spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagles dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand
Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand
Surrounded by a millions years
I'll be the round about
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the round about
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the round about
The words will make you out 'n' out
And change the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

There Has Never Been
There Has Never Been
Performer(s): Shirley Jones
I felt the warmnest of your breath
It's hard to tell, is it now or then...
Our past our life so far apart
never to question never to ask why...
There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
until you came along from where, I don't know...
When sunlight shines on your face
my heart race to the other place...
where we met so long ago...
Hold my hands promises to never let me go...
To sickness and in health...
There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
until you came along from where, I don't know...
There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
Baby, Baby until you came along and sealed my faith...
Father I ask of you to make it last
just long enough until I can feel
That lift you once blessed us with once before..
My true love have looked me in the eyes again
for this last time...
There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
until you came along from where, I don't know...
There has never been a lover ever
to satisfy my warmest desire...
until you came along from where, I don't know...
The pleasure I feel from this lover that has never been..
A lover ever, a lover ever to love me like you
yes you baby to satisfy my warmest desire
until you came along and sealed my faith...

Conjured
Conjured
Composer(s): Denise Craig; William Robert Emerson
Performer(s): Wynonie Harris
You said it was love made me stutter when I talk
But is it love that makes me stagger when I walk?
The Gypsy woman told me
"She's got you conjured, son"
Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
You said I was jealous when I didn't go to work
You sprinkled my shoes with graveyard dirt
The Gypsy woman told me
"She's got you conjured, son"
Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it
The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid
You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather
A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together
The Gypsy woman told me
"She's got you conjured, son"
Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it
The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid
You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather
A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together
The Gypsy woman told me
"She's got you conjured, son"
Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
