The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp
The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier
First release by: Johnny Darrell - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, the path was deep and wide
From footsteps leading to our cabin
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
And late at night a hand would knock
And there would stand a stranger
Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp
Yeah, the weeds were high, the corn was dry
When daddy took to drinking
Him and Sally Walker, they up and ran away
Then Momma shed a silent tear
And promised fourteen children
"I swear you'll never see a hungry day"
When Momma sacrificed her pride
The neighbours started talking
But we were much too young
To understand the things they said
All we really cared about
Was Momma's chicken dumplings
And a goodnight kiss
Before we went to bed
Oh, you know, the path was deep and wide
From footsteps leading to our cabin
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
And late at night a hand would knock
And there would stand a stranger
Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp
When Daddy left and destitution
Came upon our family
Not one neighbour volunteered
To lend a helping hand
So just let 'em gossip all they want
She loved us, and she raised us
The proof is standing here
A full grown man
Last summer Momma passed away
And left the ones who loved her
Each and every one is
More than grateful for their birth
And each Sunday she receives
A big bouquet of fourteen roses
With a card that reads
'The Greatest Mom on Earth'
Oh, you know, the path was deep and wide
From footsteps leading to our cabin
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
And late at night a hand would knock
And there would stand a stranger
Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp

Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:

One day we walked along the sand
one day in early spring...
You held a piper in your hand
to mend it's broken wing
Now, I'll remember many a day
an' many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song
an' the shadow of a smile!
The shadow of your smile
when you are gone...
will color all my dreams
and light the dawn...
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
all the lovely things you are... you are to me!
Our wistful little star
was far too high...
A teardrop kissed your lips
and so did I...
Now, when I remember spring
all the joy that love can bring...
I will be remembering
the shadow of your smile!
Now, when I remember spring
all the joy that love can bring...
I will be remembering
the shadow of your smile!

Coeur Solitaire
Coeur Solitaire
Composer(s): Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Cœur solitaire
Tête dans les rêves
J' me méfie d' tout et d' toi
J'veux pas plonger
Cœur solitaire
Un peu amer
J' veux t'aider, oui mais moi
J' peux pas t'aimer
Moi je ne tiens pas la route
Toi tu grilles les stops
Tu survis à tes amours
Aux ondes de choc
T'aimes les 'loosers' superbes
Je n' suis qu'un cœur solitaire
T'as trop envie
De t'raconter
Tes lendemains manqués
Passés, brisés
Cœur solitaire
Mais sans mystère
J' fais semblant de te sauver
Pour m' protéger
Pour moi vivre dans le doute
C'est ma vérité
Tu te réfugies dans le Blues
Hors réalité
T'aimes les 'loosers' superbes
Je n' suis qu'un cœur solitaire
Cœur solitaire
Tête dans les rêves
J' me méfie d' tout et d' toi
J'veux pas plonger
Cœur solitaire
Un peu amer
J' veux t'aider, oui mais moi
J' peux pas t'aimer
Cœur solitaire
Tête dans les rêves
J' me méfie d' tout et d' toi
J'veux pas plonger
Cœur solitaire
Un peu amer
J' veux t'aider, oui mais moi
J' peux pas t'aimer

Riddle House
Riddle House
Composer(s): Howard
Performer(s): The Boys Next Door
The street is very wide
and I can't see across it
my house isn't clear to me
the cars move in between
Chorus
And I say: Question
when is a door not a door???
and I say: "That's not right!
answer when it's a jar
The numbers soft as soap
and tend to bend in addition
they're much too wan for me
I'd prefer some consistancy
Chorus
The windows open wide
but I can't see out of it
the view is not very there
some-times I look for it
Chorus

The Soldier Song
The Soldier Song (aka You Don't Even Know My Name)
Composer(s): Sally Mudd
Performer(s): Sally Mudd
You got a call to leave today
No long goodbyes
You were instructed to be brave
Soldier, dry your eyes
You've got to leave your fam'ly behind
So I can be with mine
And you don't even know my name
I'm the man, I'm the babies
I'm the little old ladies
Who lay down their heads at night
With peaceful dreams of a world to be
'Cause you're fighting for our lives
And you don't even know my name
I think about you ev'ry day
And what you're going through
Are you cold, are you afraid
Are you wonderin' why God chose you
Will I ever be able to tell you how grateful
I am for who you are
When you don't even know my name
I'm the man, I'm the babies
I'm the little old ladies
Who lay down their heads at night
With peaceful dreams of a world to be
'Cause you're fighting for our lives
And you don't even know my name
(Don't know my name, don't know my name)
And you don't even know my name
(Don't know my name, don't know my name)
I wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you
I wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you

Composer(s): Johnny Mandel - Paul Francis Webster - Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Juliette Gréco - 1966
Quand j'ai vu le sourire de mon amour
J'ai confondu la nuit avec le jour
J'ai laissé mon cœur se prendre au jeu
Et j'ai bu ses lèvres avec mes yeux
Sans savoir s'il voulait vraiment de moi
Je me suis réveillée, entre ses bras
Et le temps d'un rire heureux, le temps d'un soupir à deux
Je me suis perdue dans le sourire de mon amour
Et le temps d'un rire heureux, le temps d'un soupir à deux
Je me suis perdue dans le sourire de mon amour

Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Emporte-moi au fil du temps
Ton coeur dessus, mon coeur dessous
Réveille en moi des cris d'enfants
Ton coeur dessus, mon coeur dessous
Que ta tendresse sourde en moi
Comme un ruisseau qui veut jaillir
Que ton amour m'ouvre la voie
Même s'il doit un jour mourir
J'aurai connu des jours heureux
Ton coeur dessus, mon coeur dessous
Emporte-moi c'est merveilleux
Ton coeur dessus, mon coeur dessous
Apporte-moi ce bonheur qui me grise
Pour changer ma vie
Forger ma vie
Combler ma vie
Dis-moi les mots qui je veux que tu dises
Pour trembler de joie
Toi seul peut me donner
Un peu d'éternité
Enlace-moi je veux rêver
En fermant les yeux
Emporte-moi c'est merveilleux
Ton coeur dessus, mon coeur dessous

Ricochet (Rick-O-Shay)
Ricochet (Rick-O-Shay)
Composer(s): Larry Coleman;
Joe Darion; Norman Gimbel
Performer(s): Teresa Brewer
They warned me when you kissed me your love would ricochet
Your lips would find another and your heart would go astray
I thought that I could hold you with all my many charms
But then one day you ricocheted to someone else's arms
Chorus:
And baby
I don't want a ricochet romance, I don't want a ricochet love
If you're careless with your kisses, find another turtle dove
I can't live on ricochet romance, no, no not me
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free
I knew the day I met you, you had a rovin' eye
I thought that I could hold you, what a fool I was to try
You promised you'd be faithful and you would never stray
Then like a rifle bullet, you began to ricochet
Chorus:
When you announced our wedding, you made me mighty proud
I whispered "Two was company" but you preferred a crowd
You buzzed around the other girls just like a busy bee
And when you finished buzzin', cousin, you buzzed right back to me
Chorus:
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free

The Soft Parade
The Soft Parade
Composer(s): Jim Morrison
First release by: The Doors - 1969
When I was back there in seminary school
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the lord with prayer
Petition the lord with prayer
You cannot petition the lord with prayer!
Can you give me sanctuary
I must find a place to hide
A place for me to hide
Can you find me soft asylum
I can't make it anymore
The Man is at the door
Peppermint, miniskirts, chocolate candy
Champion sax and a girl named Sandy
There's only four ways to get unraveled
One is to sleep and the other is travel, da da
One is a bandit up in the hills
One is to love your neighbor 'till
His wife gets home
Catacombs
Nursery bones
Winter women
Growing stones
Carrying babies
To the river
Streets and shoes
Avenues
Leather riders
Selling news
The monk bought lunch
Ha ha, he bought a little
Yes, he did
Woo!
This is the best part of the trip
This is the trip, the best part
I really like
What'd he say?
Yeah!
Yeah, right!
Pretty good, huh
Huh!
Yeah, I'm proud to be a part of this number
Successful hills are here to stay
Everything must be this way
Gentle streets where people play
Welcome to the Soft Parade
All our lives we sweat and save
Building for a shallow grave
Must be something else we say
Somehow to defend this place
Everything must be this way
Everything must be this way, yeah
The Soft Parade has now begun
Listen to the engines hum
People out to have some fun
A cobra on my left
Leopard on my right, yeah
The deer woman in a silk dress
Girls with beads around their necks
Kiss the hunter of the green vest
Who has wrestled before
With lions in the night
Out of sight!
The lights are getting brighter
The radio is moaning
Calling to the dogs
There are still a few animals
Left out in the yard
But it's getting harder
To describe sailors
To the underfed
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
What got us this far
To this mild equator?
We need someone or something new
Something else to get us through, yeah, c'mon
Callin' on the dogs
Callin' on the dogs
Oh, it's gettin' harder
Callin' on the dogs
Callin' in the dogs
Callin' all the dogs
Callin' on the gods
You gotta meet me
Too late, baby
Slay a few animals
At the crossroads
Too late
All in the yard
But it's gettin' harder
By the crossroads
You gotta meet me
Oh, we're goin', we're goin great
At the edge of town
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
Havin' a good time
Got to come along
What got us this far
To this mild equator?
Outskirts of the city
You and I
We need someone new
Somethin' new
Somethin' else to get us through
Better bring your gun
Better bring your gun
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
We're gonna ride and have some fun
When all else fails
We can whip the horse's eyes
And make them sleep
And cry

Sewers Of The Strand
Sewers Of The Strand
Composer(s): Spike Milligan
Performer(s): Spike Milligan; The Goons
Phew! Yes folks, I can understand their feelings because they are about to play
Sideways through the sewers of the Strand on a Sunday afternoon
Sideways through the sewers of the Strand will be our honeymoon
Ankle deep folks in sludge dear we'll walk hand in hand
They do say that the sewers of the Strand are the finest in the land
Sideways through the sewers of the Strand will be paradise for two
Who cares if the atmosphere is blue
'Cause there's nothing wrong with a good old British pong
Sideways through the sewers of the Strand with you...
Ah my darling little bride
We meet by accident, folks -- she ran over me with a tram
Her name was Buler, mine was Jim
I was glad they called me Jim, folks, because that was my name
I found that she had been going out with an Irish dentist called Phil McCavity
He walked with a pronounced limp -- l-i-m-p pronounced limp, folks
Oh the worry turned me grey
This gave me a strange appearance as I was bald at the time
Ah, the first time I met her was late early one morning in Spring
There was a heavy dew on the grass -- he had just been thrown out of a synagogue for eating during the sermon
I told her 'Darling, let me take you away from the squalor you live in, and live in the squalor I live in'
So, we were married in the Spring, folks
We had the reception in the pond
There was plenty to drink folks
And then off we went! Folks!
Sideways through those naughty sewers of the naughty
Strand will be a paradise for two (not one but two, folks)
Who cares if the atmosphere is blue (phew!)
'Cause there's nothing wrong (is there) with a good old old British Pong!
Sideways through the sewers of the Strand with you
I don't mean maybe...

Coeur De Rocker
Coeur De Rocker
Dutch Title: Met Rock' N Roll In Mijn Hart
Composer(s): Luc Plamondon; Julien Clerc
Originally performed by: Julien Clerc
Cœur de rocker, cœur de rocker
J'n'étais encore qu'un enfant d'chœur
Qu'j'avais déjà un cœur de rocker
J'n'aimais pas beaucoup l'école
Je n'vivais qu'pour mes idoles yé yé yé
J'n'étais encore qu'un teenager
Qu'j'suis parti vivre ma vie en outsider
Mon père voulait me ret'nir
Tout c'qu'il a trouvé à m'dire
C'est: "tu vas faire mourir ta mère"
Avec mon cœur de rocker
J'ai jamais su dire je t'aime
Oui, mais maman, j't'aimais quand même
Comme personne t'as jamais aimée
Avec mon cœur de rocker
J'ai jamais su dire je t'aime
Oui mais Baby j't'aimais quand même
Comme personne t'a jamais aimée
Oui mais Baby j't'aimais quand même
Comme j'pourrai plus jamais aimer.
De toutes les filles qui m'ont fait craquer
La seule que j'ai vraiment aimée
C'est celle qui m'a quitté
J'ai été bien embêté hé hé hé
C'est vrai qu'j'étais pas très fidèle
Mais j'étais totalement fou d'elle
J'ai voulu la retenir
Tout c'qu'elle a trouvé à me dire
C'est: "Tu vas finir ta vie tout seul"
Avec mon cœur de rocker
J'ai jamais su dire je t'aime
Oui, mais maman, j't'aimais quand même
Comme personne t'as jamais aimée
Avec mon cœur de rocker
J'ai jamais su dire je t'aime
Avec mon cœur de rocker, cœur de rocker

Ricky
Ricky
Composer(s): William Sheller
Performer(s): Nicoletta
On jouait aux indiens dans la plaine
On se connaissait à peine
Que depuis quelques heures
J'étais la Parisienne
Que, d'un sourire moqueur
On envoie aux fontaines
Aller cueillir des fleurs
Sont venus au fil des semaines
Les soirs où l'on se promène
Dans les bois qui font peur
Sa main a pris la mienne
Et, de gêne en douceur
Avec le peuple Cheyenne
Il est entré dans mon cœur
Ooh, Ricky marchait devant
Et j'étais belle à ses côtés
Ooh, Ricky marchait devant
J'ai bien du mal à l'oublier
Sous les yeux des gens qui comprennent
Tous les enfants qui s'aiment
Nous jouiions au bonheur
Je serai toujours la même
Tu seras toujours meilleur
Toi le roi, moi la reine
Allongés dans les fleurs
Puis il a fallu qu'on apprenne
Ce qu'est avoir de la peine
Le train part de bonne heure
Et, pendant qu'il m'emmène
Les yeux d'un indien qui pleure
Avec le peuple Cheyenne
Resteront dans mon cœur
Ooh, Ricky marchait devant
Et j'étais belle à ses côtés
Ooh, Ricky marchait devant
J'ai bien du mal à l'oublier
Ooh, Ricky marchait devant
Et j'étais belle à ses côtés
Ooh, Ricky marchait devant
J'ai bien du mal à l'oublier...

The Snowman
The Snowman
Composer(s): Phillip Crosby
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Frank Sinatra
On a Christmas Eve a happy snowman
Stood and dreamed beside a cottage door
How the children loved their friend the snowman
And the funny fedora he wore
When they said goodnight they told the snowman
That a gift for him was on the tree
So he called himself a lucky snowman
Just like one of the family was he
The cottage porch looked beautiful and bright
The holly wreath was turned on for the night
When all at once it caught on fire and fell
He couldn't knock, he couldn't ring the bell
He couldn't run for help, he couldn't call
But then he had to save the children after all
He knew he'd melt away, and yet the snowman
Threw himself across the burning floor
How the children missed their friend the snowman
But they'll always remember him for
A heart that was brave and the joy that he gave
And the funny fedora he wore

Coeur De Loup
Coeur De Loup
Composer(s): Philippe Lafontaine; Juan D'Oultremont
Originally performed by: Philippe Lafontaine
Cœur de Loup
Pas le temps de tout lui dire
Pas le temps de tout lui taire
Juste assez pour tenter la satyre
Qu'elle sente que j'veux lui plaire
Sous le pli de l'emballage
La lubie de faufiler
La folie de rester sage si elle veut
De n'pas l'embrasser
Quand d'un coup d'aile se déplume
Mon œillet luit fait de l'œil
Même hululer sous la lune ne m'fait pas peur
Pourvu qu'elle veuille
Je n'ai qu'une seule envie
Me laisser tenter
La victime est si belle
Et le crime est si gai
Pas besoin de beaucoup
Mais pas de peu non plus
Par le biais d'un billet fou
Lui faire savoir que j'n'en peux plus
C'est le cas du kamikaze
C'est l'abc du condamné
Le légionnaire qui veut l'avantage des voyages
Sans s'engager
Elle est si frêle esquive
Sous mes bordées d'amour
Je suppose qu'elle suppose
Que je l'aimerai toujours
Le doigts sur l'aventure
Le pied dans l'inventaire
Même si l'affaire n'est pas sûre
Ne pas s'enfuir
Ne pas s'en faire
Je n'ai qu'une seule envie
Me laisser tenter
La victime est si belle
Et le crime est si gai
Cœur de loup
Peur du lit
Séduis-la
Sans délais
Suis le swing
C'est le coup de gong du king
Bong!
Cœur de loup
M'as-tu lu
L'appel aux
Gais délits
Sors du ring
C'est le coup de gong du king
Bong!
Pas le temps de tout lui dire
Ni de quitter la scène
Yep! Elle aura beau rougir
De toute façon il faut qu'elle m'aime
Je n'ai qu'un seule envie
Me laisser tenter......................
Cœur de loup
Peur du lit
Séduis-la
Sans délai
Où elle est

Beau colis
Joli lot

Mets l'hola
C'est joli

Rickety Tickety Tin
Rickety Tickety Tin
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): The Womenfolk
About a maid I'll sing a song ... sing rickety tickety tin
About a maid I'll sing a song who didn't have her family long
Not only did she do them wrong
She did very one of them in, them in, she did every one of them in
Her mother she could never stand ... sing rickety tickety tin
He mother she could never stand and so a cyanide soup she planned
The mother died with a spoon in her hand,
And her face in a hideous grin, a grin, her face in a hideous grin
One morning in a fit of pique ... sing rickety tickety tin
One morning in a fit of pique she pushed her father in the creek
the water tasted bad for a week, and we had to make do with gin
with gin, we had to make do with gin
She set her sister's hair on fire ... sing rickety tickety tin
She set her sister's hair on fire and as the smoke and flames rose higher
She danced around the funeral pyre, playing a violin, 'olin, playing a violin
She weighted her bother down with stones
She weighted her bother down with stones and sent him off to Davy Jones
All they ever found were some bones and occasional pieces of skin
of skin, ocasional pieces of skin
One day when she had nothing to do .... sing rickety tickety tin
One day when she had nothing to do she cut her baby brother in two
And served him up as an irish stew, and invited the neighbours in
'bours in, invited the neighbours in
And when at last the police came by ... sing rickety tickety tin
And when at last the police came by her little pranks she did not deny
For to do so she would have had to lie, and lying she knew was a sin
a sin, lying she knew was a sin
My tragic tale I won't prolong ... sing rickety tickety tin
My tragic tale I won't prolong and if you do not enjoy my song
You've yourself to blame if it's too long, you should never have let me begin, begin
you should never have let me begin
