(Here comes the Devil)
(Here comes the Devil)
(Here comes the Devil)
The devil with the Devil says I

(Look out for the Devil)
(Look out for the Devil)
(Look out for the Devil)
The devil with the Devil says I

Always givin' me the dickens
Tellin' me that life's no easy pickin's
But as long as I have fun
Well, the devil with the Devil says I

So afraid of Old Man Sin
Now why don't you stop your hesitatin'
Gonna be a long time dead
So the devil with the Devil says I

You can have your socialties
And bingo for your fun
But the things I like to do
You stop me, one by one

Even if it makes me stronger
Well, it ain't gonna make me live no longer
Even if I do go wrong
Well, the devil with the Devil says I

Always givin' me the dickens
Tellin' me that life's no easy pickin's
But as long as I have fun
Well the devil with the Devil says I

So afraid of Old Man Sin
Now why don't you stop your hesitatin'
Gonna be a long time dead
So the devil with the Devil says I

You can have your socialties
And bingo for your fun
But the things I like to do
You stop me, one by one

Even if it makes me stronger
Well, it ain't gonna make me live no longer
Even if I do go wrong
Well, the devil with the Devil says I

Jennie, Jennie (Swedish Version)


Jennie, Jennie Composer(s): Lars Berghagen Performer(s): Lars Berghagen



Jag vet att du sitter i kväll
På ditt rum med ett brev i din hand
Du vill blunda och drömma
Men kan inte glömma att allt känns så hopplöst ibland
Du spelar en skiva och minns
Några bilden du har i ett skrin
Jag vet att du gråter kanske aldrig förlåter
Att tiden förändrat melodin

Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie
Världen väntar på ditt svar
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie
Livet har så mycket kvar att ge dig
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie
Melodin bestämmer du
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie
Lev ditt liv och lev det nu

Du vill vända tillbaka i kväll
Till den värld du levt i förut
Men din dagbok i handen
Är som tecken i sanden
Som havet nästan suddat ut
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie.....
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie.....
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie.....

To Morrow


To Morrow
Composer(s): Bob Gibson
Performer(s): Bob Gibson; The Kingson Trio



I started on a journey, about a year ago
To a little town called Morrow I was going from Glasgow
I've never been much of a traveller, so I really didn't know
That Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go!

I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
For tips regarding Morrow not expecting to be guyed (means fooled)
Said I," I'd like to go to Morrow and return
No later than tomorrow, for I haven't time to burn"

Said he to me, "now let me see if I have heard you right
You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night"
"You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today
For the train today to Morrow is a mile upon its way...

"If you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don't you see
You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three
For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right
Today it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night

Said I," My friend, it seems to me you're talking through your hat
There is a town called Morrow on the line, now tell me that!"
"There is," said he, "but take from me a quiet little tip
To go from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip

"The train today to Morrow leaves today at 8:35
At half-past ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive
So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump
Can you get anywhere tomorrow and get back today, you chump?"

"Said I," I'd like to go to Morrow, so can I go today
And get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?"
"Well, well", said he to me, "and I've got no more to say
Can you get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today?"

Said I,"I guess you know it all, but kindly let me say
How can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today?"
Said he,"You cannot get to Morrow anymore today
For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way!"

I was so disappointed I was mad enough to swear
The train had gone to Morrow and it left me standing there
The man was right in tellin' me that I was a howlin' jay
I could not go to Morrow, so I guess in town I'll stay

I Don't Know Where I'm Going But I'm On My Way


I Don't Know Where I'm Going But I'm On My Way
Composer(s): George Fairman
Performer(s): Peerless Quartet



Goodbye everybody I'm off to fight the foe
Uncle Sammy is calling me so I must go
Gee I'm feeling fine don't you wish that you were me?
For I'm sailing tomorrow over the deep blue sea

Take a look at me I'm a Yankee thro' and thro'
I was born on July the Fourth in ninety two
And I'll march away with a feather in my hat
For I'm joining the army what do you think of that?

And I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way
For I belong to the regulars I'm proud to say
And I'll do my duty-uty night or day
I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way

The Archers' Song


The Archers' Song
Composer(s): Rudolf Friml - Brian Hooker
Performer(s): Charles Carver



There's a crook with a look like a book full of naughtiness
(Hi-ho-ho, the gallows tree)
With his boot full of loot and his heart full of haughtiness
(Hi-ho-ho and up goes he)
By day we'll take him tenderly by the door so
(By the torso)
Lead him straightway to the gallows tree
(And the Lord assoil his soul)

Whooagh! The boys have lost a brother
Whooagh! The Devil's caught another
There let him hang for a warning
Four and twenty crows (Arrhh!)
Pecking at his nose
Will he find repose, God knows!

There's a wench on a bench with a French kind of flossiness
(Hi-ho-ho, the gallows tree)
With a sly sort of eye and the sleek sort of sauciness
(Hi-ho-ho and up goes she)
Some dark night we'll catch her by the slack of her garter
(Hah, for a starter)
And march her off and never bring her back
(And the Lord assoil her soul)

Whooagh! There goes your little sister
Whooagh! Her brother never missed her
There let her hang for a warning
Four and twenty cats (Meaouw!)
Singing sharps and flats (Meaouw!)
Where will she be then, Amen!

I Don't Know Where I Stand


I Don't Know Where I Stand
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Fairport Convention - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair
Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand
Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand

Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone in California and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand

Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now I'll take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand

J'En Suis Fou

J'en suis fou
Moi j'en suis fou
Ses yeux sont si doux
Elle a vraiment tout, cette fille
J'en suis fou
Oh, j'en suis fou
Tous les jaloux
Me crient casse-cou
Mais que voulez-vous
Cette fille
J'en suis fou
Oh, j'en suis fou
Même si son coeur
N'est pas fidèle
Tout mon bonheur
Est auprès d'elle
Et malgré tout
Moi que voulez-vous
Je lui pardonne tout
Cette fille
Oh, j'en suis fou
Oh, j'en suis fou
Que voulez-vous
Ses yeux sont si doux
Que moi malgré tout
Cette fille
Oh, j'en suis fou
Oh, j'en suis fou ...

To Me


To Me
Composer(s): Don George - Allie Wrubel



To me, you’re the rose of a rosary
The rise of a rising sea
The glow of a star
To me, you’re the core of a coral sky
The lull of a lullaby
You know that you are

To you, I’m a mask in a masquerade
One of the unfinished symphonies
That’s never been played

Still, to me, you’re the rose of a rosary
You are and you’ll always be
So precious to me

I Don't Know How To Love Him


I Don't Know How To Love Him
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber; Tim Rice
First release by: Yvonne Elliman - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days, when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man. He's just a man
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways
He's just one more

Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so

I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost
I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head
I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so

J'en Déduis Que Je T'aime


J'en Déduis Que Je T'aime
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1959

Versions In Other Languages:
1964 - Ne Deduco Che T'amo (Charles Aznavour)
1966 - Love At Last You Have Found Me (Liza Minnelli)



Par la peur de te perdre et de ne plus te voir
Par ce monde insensé qui grouille dans ma tête
Par ces nuits sans sommeil où la folie me guette
Quand le doute m'effleure et tend mon cœur de noir
J'en déduis que je t'aime
J'en déduis que je t'aime

Par le temps que je prends pour ne penser qu'à toi
Par mes rêves de jour où tu règnes en idole
Par ton corps désiré de mon corps qui s'affole
Et l'angoisse à l'idée que tu te joues de moi
J'en déduis que je t'aime
J'en déduis que je t'aime
Par le froid qui m'étreint lorsque je t'aperçois
Par mon souffle coupé, par mon sang qui se glace
Par la désolation qui réduit mon espace
Et le mal que souvent tu me fais malgré toi

Par la contradiction de ma tête et mon cœur
Par mes vingt ans perdus qu'en toi je réalise
Par tes regards lointains qui parfois me suffisent
Et me font espérer en quelques jours meilleurs
J'en déduis que je t'aime
J'en déduis que je t'aime

Par l'idée que la fin pourrait être un début
Par mes joies éventrées par ton indifférence
Par tous les mots d'amour qui restent en souffrance
Puisque de te les dire est pour moi défendu
J'en déduis que je t'aime
J'en déduis mon amour

I Don't Know Enough About You


I Don't Know Enough About You
Composer(s): David Barbour; Peggy Lee
First release by: Peggy Lee - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists



I know a little bit about a lot o' things
But I don't know enough about you
Just when I think you're mine
You try a different line
And baby, what can I do?

I read the latest news
No buttons on my shoes
But baby, I'm confused about you
You get me in a spin
Oh what a stew I'm in
'Cause I don't know enough about you

Jack of all trades, master of none
And isn't it a shame
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me
If you'd only play my game!

You know I went to school
And I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you!
I know a little bit about a lot o' things
But I don't know enough about you

You know I went to school
And I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you!
I know a little bit about a lot o' things
But I don't know enough about you

I know a little bit about biology
And a little more about psychology
I'm a little gem in geology
But I don't know enough about you

I guess Id better get out the encyclopedia
And fresh up on from "shmer" to "shmoo", mmmm
'Cause I don't know enough about you

J'En Appelle


J'En Appelle
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel



J'en appelle aux maisons
Écrasées de lumière
J'en appelle aux amours
Que chantent les rivières
À l'éclatement bleu
Des matins de printemps
À la force jolie des filles
Qui ont vingt ans
À la fraicheur certaine
D'un vieux puit de désert
À l'étoile qu'attend
Le vieil homme qui se perd
Pour que monte de nous
Et plus fort qu'un désir
Le désir incroyable
De se vouloir construire
En se désirant faible
Et plutôt qu'orgueilleux
En se désirant lâche
Plutôt que monstrueux

J'en appelle à ton rire
Que tu croques au soleil
J'en appelle à ton cri
À nul autre pareil
Au silence joyeux
Qui parle doucement
À ces mots que l'on dit
Rien qu'en se regardant
À la pesante main
De notre amour sincère
À nos vingt ans trouvés
À tout ce qu'ils espèrent
Pour que monte de nous
Et plus fort qu'un désir
Le désir incroyable
De se vouloir construire
En préférant plutôt
Que la gloire inutile
Et le bonheur profond
Et puis la joie tranquille

J'en appelle aux maisons
Écrasées de lumière
J'en appelle à ton cri
À nul autre pareil

To Mary with love
I send these roses
Each petal discloses
Undying esteem

To Mary with love
I send my love song
It’s wrapped in my heart dear
And tied with a dream

Darling I would gladly bring the moon to you
I’d bring the sun to you
If they were mine

To Mary with love
I offer all of me
The life that I live I’d gladly give
To Mary with love

I Don't Know (Willie Mabon)


I Don't Know
Composer(s): Willie Mabon
First release by: Willie Mabon - 1952
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm gettin' sick and tired of the way you do
Good kind papa gotta poison you
Sprinkle goofer dusts all around your bed
Wake up one of these mornings, find your own self dead
She said, 'You shouldn't say that'
I said, 'What should I say this time, baby?'
She says, 'Mmmmmm, I don't know'
My oh my oh my; I don't know, what my baby puttin' down

The woman I love, she got dimples in her jaws
The clothes she's wearin' is made out of the best of cloths
She can take and wash, and hang 'em upside the wall
She can throw 'em out the window
and run out and catch 'em a little bit before they fall
Sometimes I think you has your habits on
She said, 'You shouldn't say that'
I said, 'What should I say to make you mad this time, baby?'
She says, 'Mmmmmm, I don't know'
My oh my oh my; I don't know, what my baby puttin' down

My papa told me, my mother sat down and cried
Say, 'You're too young a man, son, to have the many women you got'
I looked at my mother then, I didn't even crack a smile
I say, 'If the women kill me, I don't mind dyin''

The woman I love, I won the week before last
The woman I love have got out of class
I thought I won you, babe, a long time ago
If you don't watch your step, I'm gonna have to let you go
She said, 'You shouldn't say that'
I said, 'What should I say this time, baby?'
She says, 'Mmmmmm, I don't know'
I don't know; I don't know what my baby puttin' down, puttin' down

J'En Ai Tant Vu


J'En Ai Tant Vu
Composer(s): René Rouzaud; Michel Emer
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Quand je colle le nez à la portière
Je vois passer ma vie entière
Au fil de mes peines, de mes joies
Et j'en vois beaucoup, croyez-moi
Mais pour toujours recommencer
Faut croire que j'en ai pas vu assez...

J'en ai tant vu, tant vu, tant vu
Dans ma tête, 'y avait la cohue
Et je me disais "On ne m'aura plus"
J'en ai trop vu, trop vu, trop vu
Oui mais, à chaque fois
Je remettais ça
Et bien entendu
Je me trouvais encore de la revue
J'en ai trop fait, trop fait, trop fait
De la corde raide sans filet
Mais, aussitôt que je comprenais
Que je me disais "T'en as trop fait!"
On me tendait l'échelle
Alors, de plus belle
Je montais encore...
Pour me retrouver dans le décor
J'en ai trop cru, trop cru, trop cru
Des boniments de coin de rue
On m'en a dit, tant dit, tant dit
Des "Je t'adore", des "Pour la vie"
Tout ça pourquoi, tout ça pour qui?

Je croyais que j'avais tout vu
Tout fait, tout dit, tout entendu
Et je me disais "On ne m'aura plus"
Et mais c'est alors qu'il est venu
Et depuis que je l'ai vu
C'est vrai, je marche plus
Oui, mais je cours, je cours ma chance
Je cours vers la vie qui commence
Je ne marche plus, je cours, je cours
Je cours, je cours, je cours, je cours
Je cours, je cours, je cours, je cours
Je cours, je cours...

y tú no me amaste nunca a mí
por más que te rogué
pero pierdes tú, pierdes tú

Nunca más te amarán
porque nunca más te amarán
como tú sabes, como tú sabes
que yo te he amado

Tanto te amé
y al fin me liberé
pues yo no te amo más
no sufro más por ti
nunca más
no, no, nunca más

Yo te amé
como a nadie te amé
y no me amaste tú
jamás me amaste tú
pero pierdes tú, pierdes tú

Nunca más te amarán
porque nunca más te amarán
como tú sabes, como tú sabes
que yo te he amado

I Don't Know (Ozzy Osbourne)


I Don't Know
Composer(s): Ozzy Osbourne; Randy Rhoads; Bob Daisley
First release by: Ozzy Osbourne - 1980



People look to me and say
Is the end near, when is the final day
What's the future of mankind
How do I know, I got left behind
Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me - I don't know
How am I supposed to know
Hidden meanings that will never show
Fools and prophets from the past
Life's a stage and we're all in the cast
Ya gotta believe in someone asking me who is right
Asking me who to follow, don't ask me, I don't know
I don't know - I don't know - I don't know
Nobody ever told me I found out for myself
Ya gotta believe in foolish miracles
It's not how you play the game
It's if you win or lose you can choose
Don't confuse win or lose, it's up to you
It's up to you - it's up to you - it's up to you

People look to me and say
Is the end near, when is the final day
What's the future of mankind
How do I know, I got left behind
Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me - I don't know
How am I supposed to know
Hidden meanings that will never show
Fools and prophets from the past
Life's a stage and we're all in the cast
Ya gotta believe in someone asking me who is right
Asking me who to follow, don't ask me, I don't know
I don't know - I don't know - I don't know
