Take Back Your Gold
Take Back Your Gold
Composer(s): M.H. Rosenfeld
Performer(s): The Bell Sisters; Frank DeVol & His Orch.; Harry Geller
Take Back Your Gold
Take it back, Take it back
Please take back your gold
Take back your gold
For gold can never buy me
Take back your bribe
And promise you'll be true
Give me the love
The love that you deny me
Make me your wife
That's all I ask of you
I saw youth and maiden
On a lonely city street
And thought them lovers
At their meeting place
Until, as I drew near
I heard the girl's sad voice entreat
The one who heeded
Not her tear-stained fate (and we quote)
Take it back, take it back, Jack
For gold can never buy me
Take it back, take it back, take it back
Promise you'll be true
Give me the love that you deny me
Don't falter, gonna lead you to the altar
So take it back, take it back, take it back, Jack
Take back your gold
Take back your gold

Morse Moose And The Gray Goose
Morse Moose And The Gray Goose
Composer(s): Paul McCartney; Laine
Performer(s): Paul McCartney & Wings
Right on down at the bottom of the sea
tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down at the bottom of the sea
tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
The grey goose was a steady boat, people said, she'd never float
But one night when the moon was high, the grey goose flew away
As we were sailing round the rocks, the mate took out his compass box
and said the wind is like a fox but the grey goose flew away
When out upon the open sea, the admiral, the mate and me
prepared to face eternity, but the grey goose flew away
She flew into the stormy sea, Davy Jones was calling me
But heading for tranquillity, the grey goose flew away
Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you, yeah
This is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling
this is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling…
Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
This is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling
this is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling...
Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
This is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling
this is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling…
Oh, right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling, calling you

Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Love you so much can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down and I never
Know when I come around what I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know..
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Soon.. you'll need a man
I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl.. just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well I finally found what I've been lookin' for
But if they get the chance they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby.. I've done all I could
It's up to you
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Soon.. you'll need a man
Oh girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Soon.. you'll need a man
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon

There's a girl in my room

There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes
Girl with no eyes
who can she be?
Girl with no eyes
she's looking at me
There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes
If I make a sound she'll know that I'm stirring inside
If I make a sound she'll know that I'm trying to hide
Girl with no eyes

Beautiful girl

Beautiful girl

Doesn't eveybody know, everybody know

And doesn't everbody know, everbody know

She's just a reflection of all of the time that's gone by
She's just a reflection of all of the time I've been high

Beautiful girl

Doesn't eveybody know, everybody know

Take A Message To Mary
Take A Message To Mary
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant
First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
These are the words of a frontier lad
Who lost his love when he turned bad
Take a message to Mary but don’t tell her where I am
Take a message to Mary but don’t say I’m in a jam
You can tell her I had to see the world or tell her that my ship set sail
You can say she better not wait for me but don’t tell her I’m in jail
Oh, don’t tell her I’m in jail
Take a message to Mary but don’t tell her what I’ve done
Please don’t mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gun
You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day
But please don’t mention my lonely cell where I’m gonna pine away
Until my dying day
Take a message to Mary but don’t tell her all you know
My heart’s aching for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her I’m searching for gold
You can say she better find someone new to cherish and to hold
Oh, Lord, this cell is cold
Mary, Mary
Oh, Lord this cell is cold

Morro Dois Irmãos
Morro Dois Irmãos
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and various other artists
Dois Irmãos, quando vai alta a madrugada
E a teus pés vão-se encostar os intrumentos
Aprendi a respeitar tua prumada
E desconfiar do teu silêncio
Penso ouvir a pulsação atravessada
Do que foi e o que será noutra existência
É assim como se a rocha dilatada
Fosse uma concentração de tempos
É assim como se o ritmo do nada
Fosse, sim, todos os ritmos por dentro
Ou, então, como um música parada
Sobre um montanha em movimento

Composer(s): Eddie Holland; Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): The Temptations
I love you, girl, with all my heart and soul
I can't understand why you treat me cold
Your every wish, girl, is my command
And that's why I can't seem to understand why
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
One day you say you love me too
The next day you tell me that we are through
My love for you is just a game
But each time we play, girl, my heart feels the pain
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
Oh girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue, so blue?
Woo Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue? (make me blue)
Oh girl, oh girl, oh girl, tell me why can't you be true? (can't be true)
The way you treat me, it just isn't fair
You make it so plain you just don't care
You have a ball around my time
Of sleepless nights I'm getting tired
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue, baby?
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
Oh oh girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?

Morningtown Ride
Composer(s): Malvina Reynolds
Performer(s): The Limeliters
and various other artists
Train whistle blowin'
Makes a sleepy noise
Underneath their blankets
Go all the girls and boys
Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away
Driver at the engine
Fireman rings the bell
Sandman swings the lantern
To show that all is well
Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away
Maybe it is raining
Where our train will ride
All the little travellers
Are warm and snug inside
Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away
Somewhere there is sunshine
Somewhere there is day
Somewhere there is Morningtown
Many miles away
Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away
Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away

Vous mes amis, tant de fois vous me dites
Que d'ici peu je ne serai plus triste
J'aimerais bien vous croire un jour
Mais j'en doute avec raison
Essayez de répondre à ma question
Qui saura, qui saura, qui saura
Qui saura me faire oublier dites-moi
Ma seule raison de vivre
Essayez de me le dire
Qui saura, qui saura, oui qui saura
Vous mes amis essayez de comprendre
Une seule fille au monde peut me rendre
Tout ce que j'ai perdu, je sais qu'elle ne reviendra pas
Alors si vous pouvez dites-le moi
Qui saura, qui saura, qui saura
Qui saura me faire vivre d'autres joies
Je n'avais qu'elle sur terre
Et sans elle ma vie entière
Je sais bien que le bonheur n'existe pas
Vous mes amis le soleil vous inonde
Vous dites que je sortirai de l'ombre
J'aimerais bien vous croire oui
Mais mon coeur y renonce
Ma question reste toujours sans réponse
Qui saura, qui saura, qui saura
Qui saura me faire oublier dites-moi
Ma seule raison de vivre
Essayez de me le dire
Qui saura, qui saura, oui qui saura
Qui saura, qui saura, qui saura
Qui saura me faire revivre d'autres joies
Je n'avais qu'elle sur terre et sans elle ma vie entière
Je sais bien que le bonheur n'existe pas
Qui saura, qui saura, qui saura
Qui saura me faire oublier dites-moi
Ma seule raison de vivre essayez de me le dire
Qui saura, qui saura, oui qui saura?

I'm a girl watcher, I'm a girl watcher...
Watchin' girls go by, hey, my my

And found a new pastime to dwell on
Whenever I detects them there of the other sex
I play the game I do so well on

Mumble something tell my my, but you do look swell

Wonder if you know that you're putting on a show
Could you please walk a little closer

You’re typin’ better, Miss Smith

Getting tired, Miss Smith?
Oh, yes sir
Well, you’re fired, Miss Smith
You know best, sir
But I would like to know why
We’re getting married, you and I
Tell me, what is your reply?
Yes sir
Do I need book and pencil, too?
All I’ll ever need is you
You have taken your very last letter, Miss Smith
Yes sir!

Morningside
Morningside
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond;
Marcus Dagan; Dennis Pavao
Morningside, the old man died
And no one cried, they simply turned away
And when he died
He left a table filled with nails and pride
And with his hands he carved these words inside
"For my children"
Morning light, morning bright
I spent the night with dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
For I recall the words an old man signed
"For my children"
And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the table made with oaken wood
And the children that sat around this table
Touched it with their laughter, and that was good
Morningside, the old man died
And no one cried, he surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim the gift he had
The words he carved became his epitaph......
"For my children"

First release by: Julie London & The Gerald Wilson Big Band - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight
They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbours' fight
Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know
Become essential things that women find so apropos
But that's a dame
They're all the same
It's just a game
They call it girl talk, girl talk
They all me-ouw about the ups and downs of all their friends
The who, the how, the why, they dish the dirt, it never ends
The weaker sex, the speaker sex, we mortal males behold
But though we joke, we wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold
So baby stay, and gab away
But hear me say
That after girl talk
Talk to me
But that's a dame
They're all the same
It's just a game
They call it girl talk, girl talk
So baby stay, and gab away
But hear me say
That after girl talk
Talk to me

First release by: R.B. Greaves - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Last night as I got home about a half past ten
There was the woman I thought I knew
In the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
Let me tell you what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out
And I ain't going back again
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me
And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me
Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good lif
All work and no play has just cost me a wife
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand
That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man
I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
It just so happens I'm free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with me
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
