Words (Bee Gees)
Words
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb
Originally performed by: Bee Gees
Covered by various other artists
Smile an everlasting smile
A smile could bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story
Now my love right now there'll be
No other time and I can show you
How my love
Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away

Amber Tresses (Tied In Blue)
Amber Tresses (Tied In Blue)
Composer(s): A.P. Carter
Performer(s): Flatt & Scruggs
Far away in sunny mountains
Where the merry sunbeams play
There I wandered thru the clover
Singing to a village maid
She was dearer than the dearest
Ever loving kind and true
And she wore beneath her bonnet
Amber tresses tied in blue
Fact decreed that we be parted
Ere the leaves of autumn fell
Then two hearts were separated
That had loved each other well
She was all I had to cherish
Every loving king and true
Now I see in every vision
Amber tresses tied in blue

Wop She 'Ad It-Io
Wop She 'Ad It-Io
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Copper Family
Now once I courted a pretty girl I courted her quite well
Her name was Kitty-mariga Maria and mine was Bobby Wells
One night when I was courting Kit when her father was at home
He said, If I catch you here again I'll tickle your bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
Now Kit and I we did agree a ladder for to bring
We placed it under the window and by gum, it was just the thing
We laughed and chattered and chattered and talked when all at once, by gum
My foot slipped through the ladder and I fell and cut my bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
They wheeled me home in a wheelbarrow they wheeled me home with care
And when I got to the farmyard gate, oh, didn't the old folks stare
My brother Jim came running out and said what have you done
I've been a-courting Kit, said I, and fell and cut my bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
They took me to the doctor's and there I showed my case
And didn't they do a grin when I showed 'em my Sunday face
They thought I was making a fool of them, but a fool of them, by gum
I thought they were making a fool of me when they turpentined my bum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
Now Kit and I we did agree for to get wed
She made me a sling to put my bum in and through it I cocked my leg
As we were walking down the street the kids did shout, by gum
There goes the man with his bum in a sling that fell and cut his bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

Amber Cascades
Amber Cascades
Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell
Performer(s): America
Amber cascades all over today
Then we walk on a crooked catwalk
Only to be delayed
Bubbles of blue burst into two
Eaten up by the incoming tide
Of the new
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view
Granite charades are played in the rain
Till we fall through a sand castle window
To avoid the pain
Summer canoe paddles up to you
'cause it's time for another beer run
Or something that's equally true
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view

Get yourself a filly
To pull the wool with you

Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully
Wooly Bully
You got it, you got it

Ambar Violeta
Ambar Violeta
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez; Elena Roger
Rayos del sol a la hora del sol
Ella estaba en cualquiera
En cualquier estación esperando una fatalidad
o un llamado del cielo
Siente un mareo de baja presión
Por lo menos le queda ese poco de humor
¿Para qué? si una pasa buscando
y perdiendo certezas
Solo cuando se va
Solo cuando no está en esto, amor
Le hace bien
Meterse en su laberinto carrousel
Le hace bien
Nada está aquí ni mejor ni peor
Solamente sus ojos cambian de color
A una hora del día
Se tiñen de un ámbar violeta
Nadie ni nadie la vio
Ahora tiene un gran cuerno bajo el corazón
Y se escapa de todos los hombres
Que quieren tenerla
Solo cuando se va
Solo cuando no está en esto amor

Woody's Rag/Hard Work
Woody's Rag/Hard Work
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
While we're on the subject of hard work
I just wanted to say that I always was a man to work
I was born working and I worked my way up by hard work
I ain't never got nowhere yet but I got there by hard work
Work of the hardest kind
I been down and I been out and I've been busted, disgusted and couldn't be trusted
I worked my way up and I worked my way down
I've been drunk and I've been sober
I've had hard times and I got hijacked and been robbed for cash and robbed on credit
Worked my way into jail and outta jail and I woke up
a lotta mornings and I didn't even know where I was at
But the hardest work I ever done is when I was trying
to get myself a worried woman to ease my worried mind
Now I'm gonna tell you just about how much hard
work I had to do to get this here woman that I'm a-tellin' you about
I shook hands with 97 of her kinfolks and her blood
relatives and I done the same with 86 people that was
just her friends and her neighbors
Kissed 73 babies and put dry pants on 34 of 'em, as well
as others, and done the When thing several times, as well
as a lot of other things just about like this
I held 125 head of wild horses, put saddles and bridles
on more than that, harnessed some of the craziest
wildest teams in the whole country. I rode 14 loco
broncos to a dead standstill and let 42 hound dogs lick me all over
7 times I was bit by hungry dogs and I was chewed
all to pieces by water moccasins and rattlesnakes on
2 separate river bottoms
I chopped and I carried 314 arm loads of stoved wood
100 buckets of coal, and I carried a gallon of
kerosene 18 miles and lost a good pair of shoes in a mud hole
And I chopped and I weeded 48 rows of short cotton
13 acres of bad corn and cut the sticker weeds out of
11 back yards, all on account a 'cause I wanted to
show her that I was a man and I liked to work
I cleaned out 9 barnloads, and cranked 31 automobiles
all makes and models, pulled 3 cars out of mud
holes and 4 out of snowdrifts
I dug 5 cisterns of water for some of her friends and
neighbors and run all kinds of errands
I played the fiddle for 9 church meetings and I joined
11 separate denominations. I signed up and joined
up for 7 of the best trade unions I could find and paid
my dues about 6 weeks ahead of time, waded 40
miles of swamps, 60 big rivers, walked across 2
mountain ranges and crossed 3 deserts
I got the fever and I got the sun stroke and I got the
malaria and I got the flu and I got moonstruck and
skeeter bit, the poison ivy and the 7 year itch and the blind staggers
I was given up for lost and dead about 2 dozen times
Struck by lightning, struck by Congress, struck
by friends and kinfolks, as well as by 3 cars on
the highways and a lotta times in peoples' henhouses
I been hit and run down and run over and
walked on and knocked around and I'm just
settin' here now trying to study up what else I
can do to show that woman that I still ain't afraid of hard work

Amazonia
Amazonia
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Stephen Stills
Amazonia
Amazonia
From the heart of Amazonia
Comes the very air we breathe
But the people there are poor
Can't see the forest for the trees
In the time it takes to sing this song
Another acre's gone
Gotta save the Amazonia
Before all of it is gone
Amazonia
Amazonia
With so many people hungry
All those children there to feed
No use blaming the Sinterras
They've got families
Finding other ways to prosper
Realize the damage done
Educate them with an answer
And take care of everyone
In Amazonia
Amazonia
Amazonia
Simple answers are much harder
To accomplish than the rest
And there's always someone getting hurt
When you have to do what's best
So put your imagination
And your shoulder to the task
Save the rain forest from ourselves
There's no more we can ask

Woodstock
Woodstock
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Originally performed by: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Covered by various other artists
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
I´m going on down to Yasgur´s farm
I´m going to join in a rock ´n´ roll band
I´m going to camp out on the land
And try and get my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
And we´ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it´s the time of man
I don´t know who l am
But life is for learning
We are stardust
We are golden
And we´ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
We are golden
And we´ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Amazone, À La Vie
Amazone, À La Vie
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Un jour, tombe la feuille
Même si le cœur s'en va
Il reste l'Amazone
Et l'automne attendra...
Même si tombe la feuille
Quand arrive le froid
Ma vie est une blonde
Qui danse la samba...
Catastrophes et chantages
Cyclones, inondations
Pénurie et chômage
Enfants dans le goudron...
Industries qui se meurent
La faim près de la maison
La toit qui s'abandonne
La pluie dans le salon
Et même le téléphone
Qui sonne sans raison
Pour chaque vers une pomme
Pour chaque honte un front...
Un peu d'amour sauvage
Un peu de café au lit
Deux, trois fleurs libérées
D'une serre sans vent ni pluie
Un peu d'amour tout sage
Des miettes au fond du lit
Des gestes libérés
De tout ce qui se paie...
Amazone, Amazone, à la vie...

Woodman! Spare That Tree!
Woodman! Spare That Tree!
Composer(s): Henry Russell
Performer(s): Douglas Jimerson; Americus Brass Band
Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me
And I'll protect it now
'Twas my forefather's hand
That placed it near his cot
There, woodman, let it stand
Thy axe shall harm it not!
That old familiar tree
Whose glory and renown
Are spread o'er land and sea
And wouldst thou hew it down?
Woodman, forbear thy stroke!
Cut not its earth-bound ties
Oh, spare that aged oak
Now towering to the skies!
When but an idle boy
I sought its grateful shade
In all their gushing joy
Here too my sisters played
My mother kissed me here
My father pressed my hand
Forgive this foolish tear
But let that old oak stand!
My heart-strings round thee cling
Close as thy bark, old friend!
Here shall the wild-bird sing
And still thy branches bend
Old tree! the storm still brave!
And, woodman, leave the spot
While I've a hand to save
Thy axe shall harm it not

Amazona
Amazona
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry - Phil Manzanera
Performer(s): Roxy Music
Amazona
Is a zone where
There is no doubt
No more fall-out
Why don´t you step
Through the mirror and see?
From Arizona
To Eldorado
Sure is a mighty long way
Hey little girl
Is something wrong?
I know it´s hard
For you to get along
The bell-tower rings
It tolls a hollow sound
But your castles in Spain
Still may be realised
And longings more profound
You see - every cloud
Has a silver lining
And sometimes paradise
Around your corner lies
In Amazona everything is nice
Little one - come take my hand?
I´ll try to help you there
I´ll take you there.
Amazona´s
Getting closer
Oh soon you´ll see
Journey’s over
We’re almost there

Wooden Ships
Wooden Ships
Composer(s): David Crosby; Stephen Stills; Paul Kantner
Originally performed and made famous by: Crosby, Stills & Nash
Covered by various other artists
Stills: If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
in the same language
Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend
you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won?
Stills: Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
haven't got sick once
Stills: Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy...
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving - you don't need us
Go, take your sister then, by the hand
lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving - you don't need us
And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go...

Amazing Love
Amazing Love
Composer(s): John Schweers
Performer(s): Conway Twitty; Ronnie Milsap; Charley Pride
When she wakes up this morning and turns to kiss me
She'll find I let her sleep cause we talked so late last night
She'll know I kissed her face gently till my returning
And when she finds the rose on my pillow I know she'll smile
Her amazing love unending is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings she'd know I cherrished her amazing love
If I call her a little late she forgives me
Her voice does not betray she's spent another day alone
She softly thanks me for the rose and says I miss you
And then I can feel her smiling on the phone
Her amazing love...

Wooden Heart (Muss I Denn)
Originally performed and made famous by: Elvis Presley
Covered by various other artists
Can't you see
I love you
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice
Treat me good
Treat me like you really should
'Cause I'm not made of wood
And I don't have a wooden heart
Muss i denn, muss i denn
Zum Stadtele hinaus
Stadtele hinaus
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?
There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Sei mir gut
Sei mir gut
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Wie du wirklich sollst
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart

Wood Would
Wood Would
Performer(s): Del Reeves
What would make this shell of house I live in seem like home
Wood would, you could too if you would and wanted too
What would make this rickety shack more solid than stone
Wood would, you could too if you would and wanted too
You could make the paint worth peeling
Stop that creepy leaky old ceiling
You could take the bow out of the rafters
And fill this empty house with happy laughter
What would make this shack of mine fine as a mansion on a hill
Wood would, you could too if you would and say you will
What would keep that shivery quivery wind from blowing through
Wood would, you could too if you would and wanted too
What would give these dreary old walls a homier brighter hue
Wood would, you could too if you would and wanted too
You could make the paint worth peeling
Stop that creepy leaky old ceiling
You could take the bow out of the rafters
And fill this empty house with happy laughter
What would make this shack of mine fine as a mansion on a hill
Wood would, you could too if you would and say you will

Amarsi Un Po'
Amarsi Un Po'
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti
First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Amarsi un po'
più facile e' respirare
basta guardarsi e poi
avvicinarsi un po'
e non lasciarsi mai
impaurire no, no
amarsi un po'
e' un po' fiorire
aiuta sai, a non morire
senza nascondersi
manifestandosi
si può eludere, la solitudine
però, volersi bene no
partecipare, e' difficile
quasi come volare
ma quanti ostacoli
e sofferenze e poi
sconforti e lacrime
per diventare noi
veramente noi
uniti, indivisibili
vicini, ma irraggiungibili
