The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
First release by: The Band - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
It's a time I remember, oh so well
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "La, la, la"
Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me
"Virgil, quick, come see, there go the Robert E.Lee"
Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "La, la, la"
Like my father before me, I will work the land
And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, na"
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, na"

The Adultress
The Adultress
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): The Pretenders
I'm the adultress
But I didn't want to be and I'm convenient
And I make good tea
I stand accused
Of the worst crime in history
That's my mystery
I'm the adultress
I go to the park
With a bag of crumbs for the birds
That's where we meet without words
He takes my hand
And stares into the wood
There's nothing to understand
It's understood
I'm the adultress
Look at the fool
Made up to go out
She's desperate and lonely
But she's puttin' it about
Look at the spinster
Comin' down off the shelf
She's in love and she hates herself
Don't try to stop me
Don't get in my way
It's too late
I've made my play
Does misery love company
I'll be in the bar
You'll find me

Remember Me (Diana Ross)
Remember Me
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford; Valerie Simpson
Performer(s): Diana Ross
Bye baby, see you around
Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear
You're gonna make it
You're gonna take it
Remember me as a sunny day
That you once had, along the way
Didn't I inspire you a little higher
Remember me as a funny clown
That made you laugh when you were down
Didn't I boy, didn't I boy
Remember me as a big balloon
At a carnaval that ended too soon
Remember me as a breath of spring
Remember me as a good thing
Bye baby, see you around
I already know about the new love you've found
What can I do but wish you well
What we had was really swell
I won't forget it, I have no regrets
Remember me as a sound of laughter
And my face the morning after
Didn't the sky beckon us to fly?
Yes, you'l remember the times we fought
But don't forget me in your tender thoughts
Please darlin' oh yeah
Remember me when you drink the wine
Of sweet succes and I gave you my best
Remember me every song you sing
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a sunny day
Please darling, remember me as a good thing
Remember me when you drink the wine
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a big balloon
Don't forget me darling

The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia
The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia
Composer(s): Bobby Russell
First release by: Vicki Lawrence - 1972
He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At William's and have him a drink 'fore he went home to her
Andy Wolloe said "Hello"
And he said "Hi, what's doin', Wo?"
"Seth, sit down, I got some bad news, it's gonna hurt"
He said "I'm your best friend and you know that's right"
"But your young bride ain't home tonight"
"Since you been gone she's been seein' that Amos boy, Seth"
Well, he got mad 'n' he saw red and Andy said "Boy, don'tcha lose your head"
"'Cause to tell ya the truth, I been with her myself"
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands
Well, Andy got scared and left the bar
Walkin' on home 'cause he didn't live far
See, Andy didn't have many friends and he'd just lost him one
Brother thought his wife musta left town
So he went home and finally found
The only thing Papa had left him, that was a gun
And he went off to Andy's house
A'skippin' through the backwoods quiet as a mouse
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
He looked through the screen at the back-porch door
And he saw Andy lyin' on the floor
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake
Well, the Georgia Patrol was a'makin' their rounds
So he fired a shot just to flag 'em down
And a big-bellied sheriff got his gun and said "why'dya do it?"
And the judge said "Guilty" in a make-believe trial
And slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile
Said' supper's waitin' at home and I gotta get to it"
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands
Well, they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Andy's house and back that night were mine
And his cheatin' wife had never left town
And that's one body that'll never be found
See, little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia, oh-oh-aah
That's the night that they hung an innocent man, ah-huh-unh
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

The Night The Floor Fell In
The Night The Floor Fell In
Composer(s): Ken Wheeley
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band
Charlie and his missus were a happy-go-lucky pair
They threw a party every Saturday night
With all of their relations, like the league of nations there
It nearly always ended in a fight
But there was one occasion on which they did agree
And then they brought the house down with their joviality
They danced the boomps-a-daisy
And then the palais glide
They did the hokey-cokey
And laughed until they cried
And when they had a knees-up
And everyone joined in
The only night they never fell out
The blinkin’ floor fell in
Oh my, it wasn’t half a do
With everybody happy
Though they were black and blue
Oh my, it really was a sin
The only night they never fell out
The night the floor fell in
Now Mrs. Brown was bending
To button up her shoe
Just then the carpet parted
And she went sailing through
They heard her saying after
She put her teeth back in
“The only time they ever fell out
The blinkin’ floor fell in”
Oh my, it wasn’t half a do
With everybody happy
Though they were black and blue
Oh my, it really was a sin
The only night they never fell out
The night the floor fell in
An old cowpoke was sleeping
Down in the room below
A-dreamin’ of the dogies
And cows he used to know
And then the ceiling opened
He got an awful fright
He said, “Them riders in the sky
Is ridin’ low tonight”
Oh my, it wasn’t half a do
With everybody happy
Though they were black and blue
Oh my, it really was a sin
The only night they never fell out
The night the floor fell in
Now Charlie learnt his lesson
Like all good men and true
When he was at a party
He knew just what to do
If anyone was fighting
He covered up his chin
And for a dance he padded his pants
In case the floor fell in
Oh my, it wasn’t half a do
With everybody happy
Though they were black and blue
Oh my, it really was a sin
The only night they never fell out
I wondered what all the noise was about
The only night they never fell out
The night the floor fell in

Cinco Siglos Igual
Cinco Siglos Igual
Composer(s): León Gieco - Luis Gurevich
Performer(s): León Gieco
and multiple other artists
Soledad sobre ruinas, sangre en el trigo
rojo y amarillo, manantial del veneno
escudo heridas, cinco siglos igual
Libertad sin galope, banderas rotas
soberbia y mentiras, medallas de oro y plata
contra esperanza, cinco siglos igual
En esta parte de la tierra la historia se cayó
como se caen las piedras aún las que tocan el cielo
o están cerca del sol o están cerca del sol
Desamor desencuentro, perdón y olvido
cuerpo con mineral, pueblos trabajadores
infancias pobres, cinco siglos igual
Lealtad sobre tumbas, piedra sagrada
Dios no alcanzó a llorar, sueño largo del mal
hijos de nadie, cinco siglos igual
Muerte contra la vida, gloria de un pueblo
desaparecido es comienzo, es final
leyenda perdida, cinco siglos igual
En esta parte de la tierra la historia se cayó
como se caen las piedras aún las que tocan el cielo
o están cerca del sol o están cerca del sol
Es tinieblas con flores, revoluciones
y aunque muchos no están, nunca nadie pensó
besarte los pies, cinco siglos igual

He's gonna win her every time

Where do they go when they've done their time
Wearin' their hearts out on the line for all to see
Must be the gipsy in their soul
They have a need to rock 'n' roll
They always will
they're out there still
They're the night owls
Move on

Be strong
find the heart of the night owl calling
Stay up till dawn

The Night Is Young And You're So Beautiful
Composer(s): Billy Rose - Irving Kahal - Dana Suesse
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
The night is young and you're so beautiful
Here among the shadows, beautiful lady, open you heart
The scene is set, the breezes sing of it
Can't you get into the swing of it, lady, when do we start?
When the lady is kissable and the evening is cool
Any dream is permissible in the heart of a fool
The moon is high and you're so glamorous
And if I seem over amorous, lady, what can I do?
The night is young and I'm in love with you

Cinco Minutos
Cinco Minutos
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Era la noche como un suave infierno
de diablos borrachos cantando
a la luna de Tepoztlán
Bajo el sombrero de un árbol de estrellas
brotaban corridos de amores
quemados bajo el volcán
Cuando llegaste, de pronto una luz
de luna escarlata cayó en catarata
desde una pirámide
Sobre tu pecho colgaba una cruz
y como un consuelo
arropaba tu duelo
el calor de una clámide
Y nos dijiste: "permítanme
voy a quedarme cinco minutos
cinco minutos, los que me quedan
y olvido el luto
cinco minutos
cinco y no más
y esos minutos tomaron tequila
cantando, riendo, llorando
a la luna de Tepoztlan
Y los relojes huyeron del tiempo
cuando alguien te dijo: "Señora
las diosas nunca se van'
Y despertaron al amanecer
perdidos arrojos
en tus negros ojos
heridos por el dolor
Cuando dijiste: "amar no es perder'
Sam Peckinpah, arriba
brindó con un "viva
Señora, ¡por el amor!"
Y nos dijiste: 'permítanme...
Knock, knock, knock, knockin'
on Heaven's door...

Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka
Everybody, remember Diana
And just how much I loved her
I wrote a song about her
How wrong could I be?
Oh, well, she went and found another
Found another lover
She didn't even bother
To say "Goodbye" to me
Things have changed, she's found another
Yes, things have changed, she's found another lover
Things have changed, she didn't say "Goodbye", instead she made me cry
Diana, I'll learn to live without her
Yes, I'll forget about her
Just wait and see
Things will change, I'll find another lover
Things will change, I'll learn to live without her
Things will change, I'm gonna make her cry, I'm gonna say "Goodbye" to
Diana, I'll learn to live without her
Yes, I'll forget about her
Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Yeah, wait and see

The Night Is Still Young
The Night Is Still Young
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
I'm young enough to see the passionate boy that I used to be
But I'm old enough to say I got a good look at the other side
I know we got to work real hard, maybe even for the rest of our lives
But right now I just want to take what I can
Get tonight
While the night is still young
I want to keep making love to you
While the night is still young
I'd like to settle down
Get married
And maybe have a child someday
I can see a time coming when I'm gonna throw my suitcase out
No more separations
Where you have to say goodnight to a telephone
Baby I've decided that ain't what this life is all about
Oh
While the night is still young
While the night is still young
I want to try to make the world brand new
While the night is still young
Rock and Roll music was the only thing I
Ever gave a damn about
There was something that was missing
But I never used to wonder why
Now I know you're the one I need
To make things right again
And I may lose the battle
But you're giving me the will to try
Oh
While the night is still young
Because the night is still young
I've got a lot of catching up I've got to do
While the night is still young
While the night is still young
I want to try to make the world brand new
While the night is still young

Cincinnati Fireball
Cincinnati Fireball
Composer(s): J. Leslie MacFarland - Aaron M. Schroeder
Performer(s): Johnny Burnette
There's a gal they call the Cincinnati Fireball
One look, you fall for that Cincinnati Fireball
I bet you five will get you ten
She's gonna break my heart again
That's why I know I gotta go back to Ohio
Now, when she walks that walk
It's such a pleasure to the eye
And when she talks sweet talk
You'll love it, though it's all a lie
And when she tells you she'll be true
But never tells you true to who
That's why I know I gotta go back to Ohio
That Cincinnati Fireball
She's not too tall, but she's got it all
And ooh that kiss, that kiss of fire
It makes you wanna climb the wall
Well, I'm a fool, it's clear
But my desire's very small
If I could just be near to that Cincinnati Fireball
'Cause everytime I hold her tight
It's worth a thousand sleepless nights
That's why I know I gotta go back to Ohio

Remember A Day
Remember A Day
Composer(s): Rick Wright
Performer(s): Pink Floyd
Remember a day before today
A day when you were young
Free to play alone with time
Evening never came
Sing a song that can't be sung
Without the morning's kiss
Queen - you shall be it if you wish
Look for your king
Why can't we play today
Why can't we stay that way
Climb your favorite apple tree
Try to catch the sun
Hide from your little brother's gun
Dream yourself away
Why can't we reach the sun
Why can't we blow the years away
Blow away
Blow away
Remember
Remember

The Night I Appeared As Macbeth
The Night I Appeared As Macbeth
Composer(s): William Hargreaves
Performer(s): Ian Whitcomb
T'was through a Y.M.C.A concert
I craved a desire for the stage
In Flanders one night I was asked to recite
Gadzooks I was quickly the rage
They said I was better than Irving
And gave me some biscuits and tea
I know its not union wages
But that was the usual fee
Home I came - bought a dress
Appeared in your Theatre and what a success
I acted so tragic the house rose like magic
The audience yelled "You're sublime"
They made me a present of Mornington Crescent
They threw it a brick at a time
Someone threw a fender which caught me a bender
I hoisted a white flag and tried to surrender
They jeered me, they queered me
And half of them stoned me to death
They threw nuts and sultanas, fried eggs and bananas
The night I appeared as Macbeth
The play tho' ascribed to Bill Shakespeare
To me lacked both polish and tone
So I put bits in from Miss Elinor Glyn
Nat Gould, and some bits of my own
The band played the Barber of Seville
And being too long they made cuts
When I entered somewhere in Scotland
And finished in Newington Butts
Oh, the flowers - what a feast
They threw it in bagfulls, self raising and yeast
I acted so tragic the house rose like magic
I improved the part with a dance
The pit had a relapse, so R.A.M.C. chaps
Were wired for to come back from France
I withdrew my sabre and started to labour
Cried "Lay on MacDuff" to my neighbour
I hollared, "I'm collared
I must reach the bridge or its death"
But they altered my journey, I reached the infirm'ry
The night I appeared in Macbeth
The advertised time for the curtain
Was six forty-five on the sheet
The hall keeper he having mislaid the key
We played the first act in the street
Then somebody called for the author
"He's dead " said the flute player's wife
The news caused an awful commotion
And gave me the shock of my life
Shakespeare dead - poor old Bill
Why I never knew the poor fellow was ill
I acted so tragic the house rose like magic
They wished David Garrick could see
But he's in the Abbey, then someone quite shabby
Suggested that's where I should be
Lloyd George and Clemenceau, they both carried on
So the King of the Belgians rushed in with Alfonso
They pleaded - unheeded
And all of them cried in one breath
"There's another war coming if you don't stop humming"
The night I appeared in Macbeth
I acted so tragic the house rose like magic
I gave them such wonderful thrills
My tender emotion caused such a commotion
The dress circle made out their wills
The gallery boys straining, dropped tears uncomplaining
The pit put umbrellas up, thought it was raining
Some floated - some boated
And five of the band met their death
And the poor programme women
Sold programmes while swimming
The night I appeared as Macbeth
