Taking A Child By The Hand
((Adapted from: Prendre Un Enfant (Yves Duteil) - 1978))
Composer(s): Yves Duteil - J. Wright
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1987
Versions In Other Languages:
1979 - Ode Aan Maastricht (Benny Neyman)

Taking a child by the hand
Teaching him just how to stand
So he'll accept what tomorrow may bring
Taking a child for a king
Taking a child in your arms
And as you feel your heart sing
Drying his tears as you're letting him cling
Taking a child for a king
Taking a child to your heart
Soothing away his distress
Softly in silence to soothe and caress
Taking a child to your heart
Taking a child in your arms
And as you feel your heart sing
Tears start to fall as you're letting him cling
Taking a child for a king
Taking a child by the hand
Singing him nursery rhymes
So that he'll sleep at the end of the day
Singing his troubles away
Taking a child to your breast
Soothing away his unrest
And looking on to the future you've planned
Taking a child by the hand
Years on your own, now no longer alone
Taking a child for your own

Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
Voor wie niet weet waar dat ligt
Ergens in het uiterste zuiden van het land
Parel van het Limburgse land
Stad met een eigen gezicht
Door de Romeinen gesticht
En door de Fransen beinvloed als geen
Kom maar, dan gaan we er heen
Kom met me mee en flaneer
Proef die Bourgondische sfeer
Stad van traditie, van wierrook en bier
Altijd het grootste plezier
Stad aan de kolkende Maas
Weinig bezongen, helaas
Stad zoals jij bent, zo is er niet een
Kom maar dan gaan we er heen
Hmmmmm, hmmmmmm, hmmmmm, hmmmmmm
Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
Stad met het oude gezicht
Stokoude straten maar jong nog van hart
Altijd een beetje apart
Stad aan de kolkende Maas
Weinig bezongen helaas
Zo'n zachte G als jij heeft er niet een
Kom maar dan gaan we er heen
Stad als een onuigesproken gedicht
Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
Groeten uit Maastricht

Give Us Your Blessings
Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich
Performer(s): The Shangri-Las; Ray Peterson
Run, run, run
Mary, run, run, run
Jimmy, run, run, run
Mary, run, run, run
Mary and Jimmy were both very young
But as much in love
As two people could be
And all they wanted
Was to share that love eternally
They went to their folks they told them
That someday soon they'd be wed
Their folks just laughed
And called them kids
So Mary said
Give us your blessing
Please don't make us Run away
Give us your blessing
Say you'll be there on our wedding day
They wouldn't have laughed at Mary
If they could have seen through the door
But Jimmy was waiting in the car
While Mary begged once more
Give us your blessing
Please don't make us Run away
Give us your blessing
Say you'll be there on our wedding day
Well as they drove off they were crying
And nobody knows for sure
That, that's why they didn't see the sign
That read detour
The next day they found them
Mary and Jimmy were dead
And as their folks
Knelt beside them in the rain
They couldn't help but hear
The last words that Mary and Jimmy had said
Give us your blessing
Please don't make us Run away
Give us your blessing
Say you'll be there on our wedding day
Run, run, run
Mary, run, run, run
Jimmy, run, run, run
Mary, run, run, run

First performance by: Ethel Waters - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
Now I'm taking that game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
I got that grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
I'm in a groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

Moving Waves
Composer(s): Inayat Khan; Thijs Van Leer
Performer(s): Focus
Moving waves, the wind has left you
And you're still in commotion?
Moving waves, the wind has left you
And you're still in commotion?
We are still repeating the word it has taught us
It moves our whole being into ecstasy
Waves, why do you all become excited
And then all calm together?
Because behind our individual action
There is one impulse working
Because behind our individual action
There is one impulse working
Rising waves...what motive is behind your impulse?
What motive is behind your impulse?
The desire to reach upwards!!

Eerst heb je de oude man
een pimpelpaarse neus
versleten en poreus
die niets onthouden kan
Hij, die zich zo bezet en zo gezopen heeft
dat hij zichzelf vergat en als een ander leeft
Hij, meneer, hij is half gaar, meneer
hij denkt koning te zijn
maar zuipt elke nacht weer de zelfde slechte wijn, meneer
en 's ochtends
vindt men hem, paars-kaars wit
stijf als een marmeren zerk
terwijl hij ronkend pit
Daarna, meneer, scheel van de drank
hikt hij de Here dank
Begrijp me wel, meneer, dat bij dit slag volk, meneer
praat men niet
men bidt...
En dan de andere man, hij is geen kam gewend
heeft klitten in zijn haar
maakt graag een ruim gebaar
dat voos is als de motten in het weggeschonken hemd
Hij, meneer, hij trouwde Liselotte
een schatje uit de stad, nou ja, een andere stad
en u weet niet waar
zij, zij heeft zaakjes daar
die doet ze, klein koket, het hoedje scheef gezet
in kleine cabriolet
ze doet zich duur voor meneer
maar als je geen centen hebt, meneer
koop dan geen portemonnee, meneer
Begrijp me goed, meneer, bij dit slag volk meneer
praat men niet, denkt men niet, doet men niet, meneer
men nept...
En dan, en dan is er de rest, de moeder die niets zegt
althans niets van belang, en dan ontstellend echt
de puriteinse smoel van vader op 't behang
z'n snor omlijst en koel, hij ziet op 't gehoor
z'n soep slikkende troep en dat gaat dan van...
En dan, de hele oude vrouw
ze beeft meer dan ze leeft
men, meneer, men wacht tot ze 't begeeft
omdat ze duiten heeft
men luistert niet zo nauw naar wat haar hand vertelt
Begrijp me wel, meneer, dat bij dit slag volk meneer
praat men niet, doet men niet, denkt men niet, meneer
men telt...
En dan, en dan, en dan is er Frieda
ze is zo mooi, zo teer, ze houdt van mij, meneer
net als ik hou van haar, zelfs zo dat wij elkaar
een huis hebben gebouwd dat heel veel ramen
maar heel weinig muren heeft, meneer
waar 't goed is dat je leeft, meneer
en valt 't nog te bezien, meneer
dan is het toch misschien...
Maar God
meneer, de anderen, meneer
de anderen willen niet, meneer, de anderen zeggen
ze is te mooi voor jou
jij bent
een vuile
kattenmepper
een kattenmepper, meneer...
en ik, meneer, ik wilde nooit een kat, meneer
nou ja, niet sinds ik haar ken of, of 't was
of 't was zo lang terug al, dat ik 't al lang vergat, meneer
of 't was een zieke kat, meneer
De anderen
ze willen 't niet
Soms als ze mij weer ziet
per ongeluk, expres
met vochtig, trouwe blik
verteld ze weg te gaan
met mij van huis vandaan
en dan, voor een ogenblik
één ogenblik, ach, dan geloof ik haar, meneer
dan geloof ik haar
maar u weet niet waar, meneer
bij dit slag volk
bij dit slag volk, gaat men niet weg meneer
men gaat niet weg, meneer...
maar 't is al laat, meneer
ik moet nu terug naar huis

Life's the same I'm moving in stereo

It's so easy to play up your breakdown
It's so easy to fly through a window
It's so easy to fool with the sound
It's so tough to get up
It's so tough
It's so tough to live up
It's so tough on you
Life's the same I'm moving in stereo

Performer(s): Judy Garland;

Did you ever see two Yankees
part upon a foreign shore
When the good ship's just about to
start for Old New York once more?
With teardimmed eye they say goodbye
they're friends without a doubt
When the man on the pier
Shouts "Let them clear", as the ship strikes out
Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there
Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long
Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there
Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long
Say hello to dear old Coney Isle
If there you chance to be
When you're at the Waldorf
have a smile and charge it up to me
Mention my name every place you go
as 'round the town you roam
Wish you'd call on my gal
Now remember, old pal when you get back home
Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there
Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long
Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there
Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long

Performer(s): Johnny Cash;
and various other artists
I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son
Chorus:
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone
Mister here's a bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Chorus:
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

Covered by multiple other artists
They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warning
Take the eight-fifteen into the city
There's a whistle up above and people push and people shove
And all the girls, who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I've been takin' care of business everyday
Takin' care of business every way
I've been takin' care of business it's all mine
Takin' care of business and working overtime
Workout
If things were easy as fishing you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun just a lying in the sun
And tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid and we're all self employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we've been takin' care of business everyday
Takin' care of business every way
We've been takin' care of business it's all right
Takin' care of business and working overtime
Take good care of my business
When I'm away
Everyday
They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warning
Take the eight-fifteen into the city
There's a whistle up above and people push and people shove
And the girls, who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine

Give My Love To Nell
Give My Love To Nell
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Chet Atkins;
Les Paul; The Sons of the Pioneers
Three years ago since Jack and Joe
Set sail across the foam
Each vowed a fortune he would gain
Before returning home
In one short year Jack gained his wealth
And started home that day
And when the pals shook hands to part
Poor Joe could only say
Refrain:
Give my love to Nellie, Jack
And kiss her once for me
The sweetest girl in all this world
I'm sure you'll say is she
Treat her kindly Jack, old pal
And tell her I am well
His parting words were don't forget
To give my love to Nell
Three years had passed when Joe at last
Gained wealth enough for life
He started home across the foam
To make sweet Nell his wife
But when he learned that Jack and Nell
One year ago had wed
With sobs and threats he now regrets
That he had ever ever said.
Refrain
They chanced to meet upon the street
Joe said, you selfish "Elf"
The very next girl I learn to love
I'll kiss her for myself
But all is fair in love, they say
As you have gone and wed
I'll not be angry with you pal
