Well, I’m going out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long
Where they walk and I’ll walk

They shimmy and I’ll shimmy

Well they’re out there having fun
In that warm California sun
Well, I’m going out west out on the coast
Where the California girls are really the most
Where they walk and I’ll walk
They twist and I’ll twist

Falling In And Out Of Love
Falling In And Out Of Love
Composer(s): Craig Fuller
Performer(s): Pure Prairie League
More than what I feel...
Touchin' what is real...
All our thoughts are reelin' round...
Carolina's feelin' down...
To-day
Falling in and out of love with you...
Falling in and out of love with you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I keep falling in and out of love with you
I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think
Or let you see one thing for your self
But now your off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought that I might keep you for my own
Well I guess I was wrong
Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
Don't you think the time is right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time
And can't you see, which way we should turn together or alone
I can never see what's right or what is wrong
(And you take to long to tell me)
Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
Now it's come to what you want you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see, That I don't know if its you or if its me
If its one of us I'm sure we'll both will see
So take a good long look and tell me...
Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do (Longer if I do) (Repeat)
I'd just keep...
Falling in and out of love with you
Falling in and out of love with you
Don't know what I'm gonna do, I keep
Falling in and out of love, with you

Accrington Pals
Accrington Pals
Composer(s): Mike Harding
Performer(s): Mike Harding
Smoky town where they were born
Down in the valley, smoky little streets
They were pals from childhood days
Climbing trees and running through the fields
And they all played together through the turning of the years
Sharing their laughter, sharing all their fears
The Seasons saw them growing and
Seasons passing turned them round
With the changing, changing, changing years
Accrington Pals
Schooldays' end, the lads all went
To work, some spinning, some weaving in the sheds
On the land or down the pit
Working hard to earn their daily bread.
And they all went walking up old Pendle Hill
On Sundays the larks sang high above the dales
Little Willie Riley played his mandolin and sang
They were laughing, they were smilingsinging then
Accrington Pals
1916, came the call
"We need more lads to battle with the Hun
Lads of Lancashire, heed the call
With God on our side, the battle will soon be won"
So they all came marching to the beating of the drums
Down from the fields and factories they come
Smiling at the girls who
Came to see them on their way
They were marching, marching, marching away
Accrington Pals
Blue sky shining on a perfect day
A lark was singing, high above the Somme
Brothers, pals and fathers lay
Watching that sweet bird sing in the quiet of the dawn
And they all went walking out towards the howling guns
Talking and laughing, calmly walking on
Believing in the lies that
Left them dying in the mud
And they're lying, lying, lying still
Accrington Pals
Smoky town which heard the news
Down in the valley, smoky little streets
Houses quiet and curtains drawn
All round the town a silent shroud of grief
And the larks were singing still above old Pendle Hill
The wind was in the bracken and the sun was shining still
A lark was singing sweetly as
The evening fell upon the Somme...
For Edward Parkinson, Bobby Henderson, Willie Clegg,
Johnny Molloy, Norman Jones, Albert Berry, Willie Riley

California Soul
California Soul
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
Performer(s): The 5th Dimension
and multiple other artists
Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
But you can't forget
From sundown to sunset
It's all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It's gonna get a hold on your
It's California soul, California soul
They say the sun comes up every morning
And if you listen carefully
The winds that ride on the high time
Whistle in melody
And so the people started to sing
And that's how the surf gave birth untold
It's California soul, California soul
When you hear the beat
You wanna pat your feet
And you've got to move cause
It's really such a groove
Puts a brand new thing in your mind
And you can't go wrong
Cause you're happy all day long
It's California soul, California soul
They had the melody and the beat
But it still doesn't seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissin
They knew just what was missin
So happy they were rockin and reelin
Because that added that lovin feeling
To California soul, California soul
Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear

Falling Down
Falling Down
Composer(s): Joe Walsh
Performer(s): Joe Walsh
Making no deposit, no return
Making the same mistakes, we never learn
All of the pain in those faces
Trying not to show concern
Spent and broken
Like a worn out subway
Talking in the city
Hanging in the closet, wait in line
When you go by the laws, you pay the fine
I'm burning the candle at both ends
Twice the light in half the time
Damn the calling
Feel like I'm falling
Ooh, and as the rain doesn't have to hurry in the city

The 3:10 To Yuma
The 3:10 To Yuma
Composer(s): George Duning - Ned Washington
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
and multiple other artists
There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma
The pounding of the wheels is more like a mournful sigh
There's a legend and there's a rumour
When you take the 3.10 to Yuma
You can see the ghosts of outlaws go ridin' by (Ridin' by)
In the sky (In the sky), way up high
The buzzards keep circlin' the train
While below the cattle are thirstin' for rain
It's also true they say on the 3.10 to Yuma
A man may meet his fate
For fate travels ev'rywhere
Though you've got no reason to go there
And there ain't a soul that you know there
When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain
Take that train (Take that train)
Take that train
So when you take the train called the 3.10 to Yuma
And leave the things you love
You leave with a silent prayer (Silent prayer)
Though you've got no reason to go there
And there ain't a soul that you know there
When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain
Take that train
Take that train

Falling Apart At The Seams
Falling Apart At The Seams
Composer(s): Tony Macaulay
Performer(s): Marmalade; Junior Campbell
Until you came, it felt like my world
Was fallin' apart at the seams
All of my childhood dreams were empty and meaningless
Until we kissed it seemed like the rain
Was turnin' my hopes into sand
Ah, I was a yesterday man until I found you
It was as plain as the nose on my face
That I was heading nowhere
Then into my life came an angel of grace
Sunlight in her hair
Now love is the strangest emotion
Cause just when
I want you to stay
Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
Don't turn me away
(Chorus)
Oooh...
I'm like a man in a mantle of black
Who just saw the light.
Who cast off the shadow when you gave him back
The meaning to life
Now love is the strangest emotion
Cause just when I want you to stay
Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
I want you to stay
(Chorus)

1913 Massacre
1913 Massacre
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
First recording by: Woody Guthrie - 1945
Covered by multiple other artists
Take a trip with me in nineteen thirteen
To Calumet, Michigan, in the copper country
I'll take you to a place called Italian Hall
Where the miners are having their big Christmas ball
I'll take you through a door, and up a high stairs
Singing and dancing is heard everywhere
I will let you shake hands with the people you see
And watch the kids dance round that big Christmas tree
You ask about work and you ask about pay
They'll tell you that they make less than a dollar a day
Working the copper claims, risking their lives
So it's fun to spend Christmas with children and wives
There's talking and laughing and songs in the air
And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere
Before you know it, you're friends with us all
And you're dancing around and around in the hall
Well, a little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights
To play the piano, so you gotta keep quiet
To hear all this fun you would not realize
That the copper-boss thug-men are milling outside
The copper-boss thugs stuck their heads in the door
One of them yelled and he screamed, "There's a fire!"
A lady, she hollered, "There's no such a thing!
Keep on with your party, there's no such a thing"
A few people rushed, and it was only a few
"It's only the thugs and the scabs fooling you"
A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down
But the thugs held the door and he could not get out
And then others followed, a hundred or more
But most everybody remained on the floor
The gun-thugs they laughed at their murderous joke
While the children were smothered on the stair by the door
Such a terrible sight I never did see
We carried our children back up to their tree
The scabs outside still laughed at their spree
And the children that died there were seventy-three
The piano played a slow funeral tune
And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon
The parents they cried and the miners they moaned
"See what your greed for money has done"

California Revisited
Composer(s): Dan Peek
Performer(s): America
Heaven may be an answer
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky
On your waters I see a strange reflection
Rumor has it I'll see you when I die
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California
In California you watch the shadow dancer
Floating gently, gently on the sea
In California you're such a strange romancer
Come and see me when the world has set you free
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

Composer(s): Roy Orbison
Performer(s): Roy Orbison
I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love with you
Baby come closer, closer to me
And listen, listen so carefully
Remember all the nights that I told you
I loved you
It wasn't true, I used you, and you were
Just someone new
To thrill this lonely heart of mine
I was lying all the time
Pretending to be falling in love with you
But it's different now, I've kissed you now
So forgive me, forgive me somehow
Hold me tight for tonight, and tell me true
If you still love me
Say that you love me
Don't leave me now
Now that I'm falling for you
I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love
Falling in love with you

First release by: Lesley Gore - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Along the sand
Let's walk the shore together, now, just hand in hand
It's gonna be fair weather, now
When the stars come out, stop to count them in the sky
Love California nights
When I'm walkin' with you hand in hand by the shore
Yes, I love California nights
At the beach where we'd swim with the tide rolling in
And there will be beneath the midnight sky above
Just you and me, and we will whisper words of love
While the fire light softly flickers in the sand
Warm California nights
With the breeze blowin' in - time for love to begin
I would miss California nights if I went on my way
Thinkin' now that I'll stay
Ooh, baby
Love you, baby
Mm, baby
Love California nights
Always close as a kiss, nothing's sweeter than this
And we'll spend California nights
Always close as a kiss ...

Falling
Performer(s): Lenny LeBlanc & Pete Carr
I think about winter when I was with her
And the snow was falling down
Warmed by the fire
I love being by her
When there's no one else around
And I'm falling
Woah, I'm falling
I'm falling in love with you
I think about summer
My head was swimming
You wrote my name in the sand
We walked together
Hoping forever
Please don't let go of my hand
'Cause I'm falling
Woah, I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling in love with you
The fall and the springtime
Were like in between times
You're here and then you're gone away
Woah, I just wanted to say
Won't you please, please stay
'Cause I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling
I'm falling in love with you
Woah, I'm falling
Ya, I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling in love with you

That's your mistake
You had to run around

You spent my money
Didn't want my love
It wasn't me
You were thinking of
You played your hand
And you had your fun
Now if you're in the cold
And you have no one
That's your mistake
To think I was your fool
That's your mistake
To rate this lover's rule
I found somebody now
Sweet as can be
And they don't do that me
No, they don't do that me
No, they won't do that to me

And my simple fate is at the gate and, girl, you've got the key

But now I know how love can grow with each and every day
As we lay at midnight's hour and feel love's hidden power
So strong and bold as life unfolds its mystery to me

You and me for eternity in love will always be
Young and free and that should be the way it's gotta be

That's Worth While Waiting For
That's Worth While Waiting For
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis - Joe Young - Harry Ruby
I know a boy who is crazy about a certain pet
It's two years since they've met, and he hasn't got her yet
This little girl that he's crazy about kind o' turned his head
'Cause when I asked him to describe her
Here's what he said
Each night he begs for that one little kiss, he's wild about
He'll get that kiss no doubt, if his patience don't wear out
Day after day he keeps telling the boys, what a gal he has
And when he's finished they all holler
"Cut out that jazz"
"She's just the kind of a miss that's worth while waiting for
She's got the kind of a kiss, that's worth while waiting for
She's always bashful and shy, but when you whisper "good-bye"
She puts that 'promising look' in her eye, that's worth while waiting for
She's got that wonderful smile the smile that you adore
She let's you squeeze her awhile, then makes you beg for more
She's got the kind of petting, the kind that's worth while getting
And what's worth getting is worth while waiting for
