Jesus Walked That Lonesome Valley


Jesus Walked That Lonesome Valley
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Andy Griffith



You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself

Now mother walked that lonesome valley
Now mother walked, she walked it by herself
Well there ain't nobody else could ever walk it for her
She had to walk it, she had to walk it by herself

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself

Now father walked that lonesome valley
Now father walked it, he walked it by himself
Nobody else could walk it for him
Well he had to walk it, he had to walk it by himself

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself

Now John was a baptist
He was some folk say he was a Jew
He wrote that holy holy bible
The bible tells you, it plainly tells you
That he was, that he was a preacher too

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself

Todo A Pulmón


Todo A Pulmón
Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner
Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner
and multiple other artists



Que difícil se me hace
mantenerme en este viaje
sin saber a dónde voy en realidad
si es de ida o de vuelta
si el furgón es la primera
si volver es una forma de llegar

Que difícil se me hace
cargar todo este equipaje
se hace dura la subida al caminar
esta realidad tirana
que se ríe a carcajadas
porque espera que me canse de buscar

Cada nota cada idea
cada paso en mi carrera
y la estrofa de mi última canción
cada fecha postergada
la salida y la llegada
y el oxígeno de mi respiración
y todo a pulmón todo a pulmón

Que difícil se me hace
mantenerme con coraje
lejos de la transa y la prostitución
Defender mi ideología
buena o mala pero mía
tan humana como la contradicción

Que difícil se me hace
seguir pagando el peaje
de esta ruta de locura y ambición
un amigo en la carrera
una luz y una escalera
y la fuerza de hacer todo a pulmón

I Dream Of Brownie With The Light Blue Jeans


I Dream Of Brownie With The Light Blue Jeans
Composer(s): Stephen Foster; Sol Meyer; Spike Jones
Performer(s): Spike Jones



I dream of Brownie with the light blue jeans
She is as sweet as liquorice jelly beans
I dream of Brownie and with passion I burn
For of all the smiles I've seen there's none like her'n
When my nights are lonely and go from bad to worse
Brownie sings to me and I thrill to her verse
She makes me happy and she makes me feel merrier
Brownie is my favour-ite black haired terrier

I love Brownie better than Jeannie, Jeannie
I love Brownie better than
Jeannie without the hair
I will not forget, forget the night I called
I looked for Jeannie's light brown hair
And found that she was bald

I dream of Jeannie with the (pop, whistle & cow bell)
She is so (pop) that I could almost (car horn)
I dream of Jeannie with the (pop, whistle & cow bell)
Ev'ry time I look at her I (grunt, grunt, grunt)
Ev'ry time I (gunshot) her, I could almost (car horn)
Ev'ry time I (gunshot) her, I (gil-ulp, gil-ulp, gulp)
I dream of Jeannie with the (bell, ascending whistle, Neigh)
Jeannie is my queenie, for I love her so

Jesus The Missing Years


Jesus The Missing Years
Composer(s): John Prine
Performer(s): John Prine



It was raining it was cold
West Bethlehem was no place for a twelve year old
So he packed his bags and he headed out
To find out what the world's about
He went to France he went to Spain
He found love he found pain
He found stores so he started to shop
But he had no money so he got in trouble with a cop

Kids in trouble wiht the cops from Israel didn't have no home
So he cut his hair and moved to Rome
It was there he met his Irish bride
And they rented a flat on the lower east side
Of Rome
Italy that is
Music publishers, book binders, bible belters
Swimming pools, orgies and lots of pretty Italian chicks

Charley bought some popcorn
Billy bought a car
Someone almost bought the farm
But they didn't go that far
Things shut down at midnight
At least around here they do
Cause we all reside down the block inside
At 23 skidoo

Wine was flowing so were beers
So Jesus found his missing years
He went to a dance and said, "This don't move me"
So he hiked up his pants and he went to a movie
On his thirteenth birthday he saw 'Rebel Without a Cause'
He went straight on home and invented Santa Claus
Who gave him a gift
And he responded in kind
He gave the gift of love and went out of his mind

You see him and the wife wasn't getting along
So he took out his guitar and he wrote a song
Called 'The Dove Of Love Fell Off The Perch'
But he couldn't get divorced in the Catholic Church
At least not back then anyhow
Jesus was a good guy he didn't need this shit
So he took a pill with a Coca-Cola and he swallowed it
He discovered the Beatles
He recorded with the Stones
Once he even opened up a three way package
For old George Jones

The years passed by like sweet little days
With babies crying pork chops and Beaujolais
When he woke up he was seventeen
The world was angry the world was mean
Why the man down the street and the kid on the stoop
All agreed that life stank all the world smelled like poop
Baby poop that is the worst kind

So he grew his hair long and threw away his comb
And headed back to Jerusalem to find mom, dad and home
But when he got there the cupboard was bare
Except for an old black man with a fishing rod
He said, "Whatcha gonna be when you grow up?"
Jesus said "God"
Oh my God what have I gotten myself into?
I'm a human corkscrew and all my wine is blood
They're gonna kill me Mama, they don't like me Bud

So Jesus went to heaven and he went there awful quick
All them people killed him and He wasn't even sick
So come and gather around me my contemporary peers
And I'll tell you all the story
Of Jesus ... the missing years

Todo A Mi Favor


Todo A Mi Favor
Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Siempre preocupado, como sin destino
igual que un marinero recién embarcado
siento como cantan el Ave María
las viejas del barrio allá en las casillas
cara de ladrón, ropa muy antigua
como un extranjero en su propia quinta
abre la ventana la rubia lijera
pero ella solo invita a los que tienen tela
perdedor por muchas cabezas
ganador de la sutileza
mientras que otros persiguen el oro
solo me contendo por durar un poco
sé que esta no es forma ni filosofía
solo la defensa de mi pobre vida
tengo esperanzas, no las pierdo
porque soy un ganador
pero creo que este año me irá peor
Por eso la otra tarde
con ánimo de lucha
yo me fuí p'al centro como quien disfruta
pero en el 59 aunque iba muy atento
una mano amiga me rapiñó el vento
no importa me dijo, vamos pa' adelante
sin tener en cuenta que andaba cesante
y por andar pensando en esas cosas distraído
no vi ni la sombra de ese colectivo
Perdedor por muchas cabezas
ganador de la sutileza
mientras que los otros persiguen el oro
solo me contento por durar un poco
sé que esta no es forma ni filosofía
solo la defensa cuando estaba en vida
ahora vivo en una nube que no para de llover
pago al día mis impuestos más el alquiler
los diarios de aquí arriba son todos oficialistas
traen las hojas en blanco con la cara del barbita
aquí arriba se comenta
que hasta el cielo está empeñado
que levanten ese muerto, San Pedro y sus asociados
tengo esperanza, no las pierdo
porque soy un ganador
pero creo que este año me irá peor

I dream in the arms of my darling
When the toil of the long day is through
And there in the arms of my darling

Though you’re ever so far away

I dream in the arms of my darling
Though you’re ever so far away

I Don't Want Your Money


I Don't Want Your Money
Composer(s): Robert Lamm; Terry Kath
Performer(s): Chicago



I don't want your money
It don't mean a thing
I don't need no fancy clothes
Or a diamond ring
I don't have to ride in style
In your limousine
I don't want no trouble
No tax or Uncle Sam
All I want is you...
I wanna be your natural man

I don't want no prestige
'Cause I got my pride
I don't want your social standing
I'd rather stand outside
I don't have no time to worry
'Bout your greedy jive
I don't want your money
I don't like that game
All I want is you...
I want to be your natural man

I Don't Want To Want You Anymore


I Don't Want To Want You Anymore
Composer(s): Henry Small; Richie Zito
Performer(s): Prism



If there's somewhere else you'd rather be
I wish you'd go there now
If there's someone else. don't stay with me
Cause I don't wanna doubt the love that you give
Make it for real or make it goodbye

I don't want to want you anymore
'Cause I've been hurt
Too many times before
I don't want to want you anymore
If you don't want me

Is there any reason why you changed
It gets me so confused
I don't know why you should find it strange
That I want you to choose between him and me
How can I lose what I've already lost

I don't want to want you anymore
'Cause I've been hurt
Too many times before
I don't want to want you anymore
If you don't want me

Well then let me know
Don't keep me in the dark
We've been lovers
We've been friends
But if it's gone too far

I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, baby
Oh, I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, girl
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, baby ahh
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, girl

I don't want to want you anymore
'Cause I've been hurt
Too many times before
I don't want to want you anymore
If you don't want me

(I don't want to want you)
(I don't want to want you, baby)

On t'avait mis en croix et l'on t'a mis en scène

Ta pub est au grand jour sur les murs de nos villes
Tu auras le concours pour tes quatre évangiles

All our friends keep knocking at the door
They've asked me out a hundred times or more
But all I say is, "Leave me in the gloom"
And here I stay within my lonely room
'Cause...

I don't want to walk without you, Baby
Walk without my arm about you, Baby
I thought the day you left me behind
I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find that
I don't want to walk without the sunshine
Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine?
Oh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me
'Cause I don't want to walk without you
No, siree

Today Is Mine


Today Is Mine
Composer(s): Jerry Reed Hubbard
Performer(s): Glen Campbell



When the sun came up this morning
I took the time to watch it rise
And as its beauty struck the darkness
From the sky

I thought how small and unimportant
All my troubles seem to be
And how lucky another day
Belongs to me

And as the sleepy world around me
Woke up to greet the day
All its silent beauty
Seemed to say

So what, my friend, if all your dreams
You haven't realized
Just look around you
You've got a new day to try

Today is mine, today is mine
To do with what I will
Today is mine
My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
To take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine

Like most men I curse the present
Void of peace of mind
And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow
Envision there a sweeter time

But as I view this day around me
I can see the fool I've been
For today's the only garden
That we can tend

Today is mine, today is mine
To do with what I will
Today is mine
My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
To take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine
