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
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

Falling (Roy Orbison)
Falling
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

Other guys imitate us
But the original's still the greatest

You ain't been nowhere 'til you been in

Got our own way of walkin'
And our own way of talkin' yeah
Walkin' with the "in" crowd
Talkin' 'bout the "in" crowd

... and I go where the "in" crowd goes
mmmmmmm
... and I know what the "in" crowd knows

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 (Lenny LeBlanc & Pete Carr)
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
In love with you
In love with you

Composer(s): Rudy Toombs
Performer(s): Otis Williams
and multiple other artists
That's your mistake
You had to run around
That's your mistake
You played me for a clown
I found somebody now
Sweet as can be
And they don't do that me
That's your mistake
To mistreat me so
That's your mistake
To ever let me go
I found somebody now
Sweet as can be
And they don't do that me
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

Chorus
Baby, baby, fallin' in love
I'm fallin' in love again
Baby, baby, fallin' in love

I could never see what fate had meant for me
And then you came and made my dreams match reality
Maybe you can see all the things you've meant to me
And my simple fate is at the gate and, girl, you've got the key
Chorus
It seems like yesterday you and I first loved this way
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
Chorus
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

Like I was walkin' on a tight rope
Swingin' in the breeze

Well I just weaken in the knees

Oh lover, help me please
Like a leaf falls from a branch
Like a rock slide avalanche
Like the rain on a stormy day
I never thought I'd fall this way
I thought that love could never touch me
Yeah, I was ridin' high
And then my iv'ry tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
And lover, you're the reason why
Like Goliath when he met his foe
Like the walls of Jericho
Like Delilah's holy town
And Samson tore it down
I thought that love could never touch me
Yeah, I was ridin' high
But then my iv'ry tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a fallin'
And you're the reason why
Oooh, you're the reason why
Yeah, you're the reason why
Baby, you're the reason why
Yeah, you're the reason why

Fallen Angel
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees
Fool in the night on the stair
With the light by the window
Out in the jungle of life she was
Yearning to go
All of the years I've been there for the tears
She will sell you
Out in the city she search for the face
That she knew
Did you believe that a love so alive
Could be over
(Chorus)
Caroline
Fallen Angel
Caroline
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Fallen Angel
I'm so lost
Tonight, lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
Fool is the father who clings to the
Child he is losing
Mother too weary to question
The wisdom of youth
There with your head in your hand
As you pray to her picture
Out in the rain she would search
For somebody to hold
Did you believe you could find
What you need with a stranger
(Chorus)
Did you believe that a love so alive
Could be over
(Chorus)
