The Cajun Queen
The Cajun Queen
Composer(s): Wayne Walker
Performer(s): Jimmy Dean; Jack Dean; Don Sebesky
She kinda breezed into town from New Orleans
And said, "Boys, I'm Big John's Cajun Queen
Now I didn't come here to argue or waste anbody's time
I just came to get my man from your dirty old mine
'Cause he moves me!
Now where you give up's where old Queenie's gonna start
'Cause I got a powerful love in my heart
So just show me the hole way down in the ground
And tell the whole wide world Big John's been found
And he's livin'!"
So down in the mine without a sign of a light
Old Queenie went a-lookin' for John that night
She found him there at the bottom of the pit
And placed a red hot kiss on those cold blue lips!
He started breathin'!
She waited a minute and then she kissed him again
And old John got the power of a hundred men
Up he come a-clawin' and a-diggin' like a mole
And said, "Come on Queenie, we're gonna leave this hole!"
They started walkin'!
Now a roar from the crowd greeted this fine pair
As they both walked out in that cool night air
And up for silence went Big John's hand
And the Queen said, "I told you I'd get my man
'Cause he moves me!"
You can find them today, they're down in New Orleans
Big Bad John and his Cajun Queen
They're a little bit wrinkled from the strain of time
But their love's just as strong as that night in the mine
A hundred and ten grandchildren!
Now the moral of this story has a real clear omen
Don't you ever underestimate the power of a woman!

Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)
Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)
Composer(s): Tony McAulay
Performer(s): Donna Summer
Cold and lonely night, you don’t have to leave at all
A car rolls up outside on time, a moment from your call
And handshake seems more fitting than a kiss
Such a shame that you and I should have to end like this
Can’t we just sit down and talk it over
Surely you can ask the better way
Strange that you’re the one so set on leaving
And I’m the one who said last night that it was all too late
Can’t we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We’ll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and I can talk it out
Tonight stay somewhere warm, they say it’s gonna freeze
You may not find a place at all, so be sure and take your keys
I can almost taste the silence now
Does it really matter still,
Who was wrong, who let who down
Can’t we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We’ll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and I can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and I can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and I can make it right
Hold on, hold on, yeah
Can’t we just sit down and talk it over
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Fils De Personne
Fils De Personne
English Title: Fortunate Son
Composer(s): John Fogerty
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Y en a qui naissent
Dans les plis du drapeau
Au son des hymnes militaires
Et quand la troupe défile sous leurs carreaux
Ils ont l'âme guerrière
Mais pas moi
Mais pas moi
Je ne suis pas né militaire
Mais pas moi
Mais pas moi
Je suis le fils de personne
Y en a qui naissent avec dans leur berceau
Les milliards de leur père
On leur apprend que tout peux s'acheter
Les affaires, oui, sont les affaires
Mais pas moi
Non, pas moi
Je ne suis pas né milliardaire
Mais pas moi
Non, pas moi
Je suis le fils de personne
Y en a qui naissent
Dans le respect des lois
Ils peuvent faire une belle carrière
Leurs paradis, c'est un bureau étroit
Dans un immense ministère
Mais pas moi
Non, pas moi
Je ne suis pas né fonctionnaire
Non, pas moi
Non, pas moi
Je suis le fils de personne
Non, pas moi
Non, pas moi
Je suis le fils de personne
Non, pas moi
Non, pas moi
Je suis le fils de personne...

The Caissons Go Rolling Along
The Caissons Go Rolling Along
Composer(s): Major Edmund L. Gruber
Performer(s): Bob Crosby & His Orch.
and multiple other artists
Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail
And the Caissons go rolling along
In and out, hear them shout
Counter march and right about
And the Caissons go rolling along
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery
Shout out your numbers loud and strong
For where e'er you go
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along
In the storm, in the night
Action left or action right
See those Caissons go rolling along
Limber front, limber rear
Prepare to mount your cannoneer
And those Caissons go rolling along
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery
Shout out your numbers loud and strong
For where e'er you go
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along
Was it high, was it low
Where the hell did that one go?
As those Caissons go rolling along
Was it left, was it right
Now we won't get home tonight
And those Caissons go rolling along
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery
Shout out your numbers loud and strong
For where e'er you go
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along
That the Caissons go rolling along
That the Caissons go rolling along

Can't We Be Friends?
Can’t We Be Friends?
Composer(s): Paul James - Kay Swift
Performer(s): Mildred Bailey & Ellis Larkin Trio
and multiple other artists
I thought I’d found the man of my dreams
Now it seems this is how the story ends
He’s gonna turn me down and say
Can’t we be friends?
I thought for once it couldn’t go wrong
Not for long, I can see the way this ends
He’s gonna turn me down and say
Can’t we be friends?
Never again, through with love, through with men
They play the game without shame, and who’s to blame?
I thought I’d found a man I could trust
What a bust, this is how the story ends
He’s gonna turn me down and say
Can’t we be friends?
Why should I care?
Though he gave me the air
Why should I cry, heave a sigh and wonder why?
I should have seen the signal to stop
What a flop, this is how the story ends
I’ll let him turn me down and say
Can’t we be friends?

Ya - you coulda been with me

Fille Sauvage
Fille Sauvage
Composer(s): Yves Dessca; D. Shirak
Performer(s): Claude François
Tu as déjà tracé le dessin de ta route
Pour après
Qu'on veuille te garder
C'est ce que tu redoutes
Je le sais
Tu es à moi ce soir mais dès que le soleil
Se lèvera
Quand je serais tomber dans un profond sommeil
Tu partiras
Fille, fille sauvage
Fille mirage
Fille d'un jour
Fille, fille sauvage
Fille mirage
Fille d'amour
Aimer sans le chercher selon la providence
Et adieu
Comment te retenir, comment faire si tu penses
Que c'est mieux
Tu dis que ta jeunesse est un trop beau trésor
Pour la laisser
Tout entière à mon cœur, tout entière à mon corps
Abandonner
Fille, fille sauvage
Fille mirage
Fille d'un jour
Fille, fille sauvage
Fille mirage
Fille d'amour
Tout au long d'une nuit tu laisses sur ta peau
Mes mains dansées
Mais elles cherchent à te prendre et voilà que l'oiseau
S'est envolé
Fille, fille sauvage
Fille mirage
Fille d'un jour
Fille, fille sauvage
Fille mirage
Fille d'amour
Fille, fille sauvage
Fille mirage
Fille d'un jour
Fille, fille sauvage
Fille mirage
Fille d'amour

Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914)
Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914)
Composer(s): Chris White
First release by: The Zombies - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
A butcher yes that was my trade
But the king's shilling is now my fee
A butcher I may as well have stayed
For the slaughter that I see
And the preacher in his pulpit
Sermon: "Go and fight, do what is right"
But he don't have to hear these guns
And I'll bet he sleeps at night
And I
And I can't stop shaking
My hands won't stop shaking
My arms won't stop shaking
My mind won't stop shaking
I want to go home
Please let me go home
Go home
And I have seen a friend of mine
Hang on the wire
Like some rag toy
Then in the heat the flies come down
And cover up the boy
And the flies come down in
Gommecourt, Thiepval
Mametz Wood, and French Verdun
If the preacher he could see those flies
Wouldn't preach for the sound of guns
And I
And I can't stop shaking
My hands won't stop shaking
My arms won't stop shaking
My mind won't stop shaking
I want to go home
Please let me go home
Go home

Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks
Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks
Composer(s): Laurie C. Anderson - Gary "U.S." Bonds
Performer(s): Gary U.S. Bonds; Bruce Springsteen; Southside Johnny
Come on!
You gotta get up pretty early in the morning, babe
If you think you can just up and out-slick me
'Cause I've been fooled by the best
BS-ed by the rest
I've tried everything there is in life from A to Z
I've dined with friends in high places
Slept with girls of all races
Got down with the brothers in the bowery
And they all taught me one thing
There's no such thing as a sure thing
Life as we know it has no guarantees
I've been in the battles
Taken my licks
Had lots of parties
Had all the kicks
I'm not often well
But, I ain't never been sick
Oh, can't teach an old dog new tricks
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
Come on!
People talk and make promises 'bout this and that
But action's the only thing that excites me
All those promises they're making
I'd be crazy if I take 'em
I'd keep them stored up in my memory
I'm just living in a world where society
And what people say and do
No longer interests me
I'm just living out my days
Set in my ways
Living for my friends and my family
Well, I've lived in the city
I ain't what you call slick
Grew up in the country
But don't call me no hick
I've been through the thin, I've been through the thick
So you can't teach an old dog new tricks
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
Come on!
Well, I've been in the battles
Taken my licks
Had lots of parties
Had all the kicks
I'm not often well
But I ain't never been sick
So, you can't teach an old dog new tricks
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
Seems like everybody knows how things should be
Yeah, they've all got their stories they can't wait to tell
I've got my own way of being who I wanna be
I can't live my life for no one else
I keep my mind wide open
To what you gotta say
Lord, I ain't always right
But I know when you're wrong
'Cause I've been doing it too doggone long
You can sing it if you wanna
But it's still my doggone song
You can't teach an old dog new tricks
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
(Oh, no, no, no)
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
(You just can't do it now)
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
(No, you can't do it)
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
(You just can't do it now)
(No, no you)
Can't teach a
Can't teach a
No, you can't teach a
Can't teach a
(Whoah, whoah, whoah)
Can't teach a
Can't teach a
(No, no, no)
(Come on, Bondsie!)
Oh you can't teach an old dog new tricks
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
Can't teach an ...

Fille Du Feu
Fille Du Feu
Composer(s): Thierry Séchan; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Elle a des yeux comme une ville en flammes
La voix des violons de Bohême
Ses cheveux d'algues et de fleurs qui se fanent
Inondent son châle de laine
Elle vient d'un monde nomade et son âme
Chemine sur les grandes plaines
Je voudrais tant suivre sa caravane
Courir dans le sang de ses veines
Fille du feu, ma tzigane
Noire sur le fond bleu des gitanes
Oh, fille du feu, ma tzigane
Les soirs d'été, quand les bûchers s'enflamment
Du côté des Saintes-Maries
Des mains d'argent qui nous viennent d'Espagne
Font danser la mer et la nuit
Les bras tendus vers les pâles étoiles
Elle chante sur le sable gris
Le vent marin qui soulève ses voiles
Emporte sa plainte et ses cris
Elle est d'un peuple qu'on chasse ou qu'on parque
Dans des terrains vagues ou des camps
Il n'est pas bon de voyager sans carte
Sur les grandes ailes du vent
Fille du feu, ma tzigane
Noire sur le fond bleu des gitanes
Oh, fille du feu, ma tzigane
Elle a des yeux comme une ville en flammes
La voix du cristal de Bohême

Burden Of Freedom
Burden Of Freedom
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
First release by: Kris Kristofferson - 1972
I stand on the stairway, my back to the dungeon
The doorway to freedom, so close to my hand
Voices behind me, they bitterly damn me
For seeking salvation they don't understand
Lord, help me to shoulder the burdon of freedom
And give me the courage to be what I can
And when I am wounded by those who condemn me
Lord, help me forgive them
They don't understand
Their lonely frustrations descending to laughter
Erases the footprints I leave in the sand
For I'm free to travel where they cannot follow
In search of the kingdom they don't understand
Lord, help me to shoulder the burdon of freedom
And give me the courage to be what I can
And when I have wounded the last one who loved me
Lord, help her forgive me
I don't understand

Chaque fois que tu rentres tard
Quand tu viens me dire bonsoir
Je meurs d'envie de savoir
Pourquoi tu rentres si tard
Mais toi tu me prends la main
Tu parles de tout et de rien
Et devant tes yeux rieurs
J'ai une poussière dans le cœur
Tu ouvres alors tes tiroirs
Et je mordille mon mouchoir
Oh je voudrais tant savoir
Pourquoi tu rentres si tard
J'ai les yeux un peu rougis
Mais tu vois, je te souris
Non ne crois pas que j'ai peur
J'ai une poussière dans le cœur
Délivre-moi, dis de ce qui n'est pas toi
Ma tête éclate à ne penser qu'à ça
Arrache-moi, dis cette poussière dans le cœur
Délivre-moi, dis, de ce flot de pensée
Oh ça me ronge, et je veux oublier
Oh mon amour, emporte-moi avec toi
Mais le sommeil nous sépare
Et je repose dans le noir
Je voudrais tellement savoir
Pourquoi tu rentres si tard
A quoi rêves-tu déjà
A qui rêves-tu dis moi
Oh ce n'est pas que j'ai peur
J'ai une poussière dans le cœur
Délivre-moi, car je ne peux plus penser
Moi je suis bien, bien, oh si bien dans tes bras
Enlève-moi, dis, cette poussière dans le cœur (ad lib…)

Quand je suis arrivé dans ta ville
Je n'ai vu que toi dans la nuit noire
Et j'ai senti dans mon bas ventre
Comme une flamme
Une flamme qui m'a brûlé toute la nuit
Je te veux
Je te veux
Fille de la nuit
Je te veux
Je te veux
Fille de la nuit
Je t'ai cherché dans toute la ville
Cherchant ton visage dans le noir
Et j'avais dans la gorge
Serré comme une boule
Une boule qui m'empêchait même de boire
Je te veux
Je te veux
Fille de la nuit
Je te veux
Je te veux
Fille de la nuit
Oh ! J'échangerais toutes les filles
Pour te revoir
Je veux t'avoir
Je t'ai trouvé enfin dans la ville
Longue et blonde et nue
Sur ton lit noir
Et je t'ai déchiré
Comme une fleur fragile
Je t'ai eu et c'est ma plus belle victoire
Je t'ai eu
Je t'ai eu
Fille de la nuit
Je t'ai eu
Je t'ai eu
Fille de la nuit

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I want to hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby, and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you
Stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you ...
I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely night

Stay

Fille D'Aujourd'hui
Performer(s): Guy Béart
Tout s'est passé trop tôt et trop vite
J'étais jolie et j'étais petite
j'ai couru trop tôt et mon corps n'était pas prêt
Je ne pouvais plus arrêter après {2x}
Où vas-tu fille, fille d'aujourd'hui?
Où t'en vas-tu?
Vers quel vertige d'éclair et de bruit?
Je suis fille d'aujourd'hui
tout va vite et moi, je suis
J'ai pris la mer trop tôt et trop vite
Un homme vient, un homme vous quitte
L'un, c'est le vautour, l'autre le chardonneret
Qui peut le savoir? On apprend après {2x}
Où vas-tu fille, fille d'aujourd'hui?
Où t'en vas-tu?
Vers quel vertige d'éclair et de bruit?
Je suis fille d'aujourd'hui
tout va vite et moi, je suis
J'ai tout dansé trop tôt et trop vite
les rythmes doux, les rythmes de fuite
J'ai voulu ensemble et la joie et le regret
On ne peut plus les séparer après {2x}
Tout s'est cueilli trop tôt et trop vite
on s'est aimé à la marguerite
Un peu et beaucoup se poursuivent sans arrêt
à la folie et pas du tout après {2x}
Où vas-tu fille, fille d'aujourd'hui?
Où t'en vas-tu?
Vers quel vertige de brume et de bruit?
Je suis fille d'aujourd'hui
tout va vite et moi, je suis
