Johnny Rider


Johnny Rider
Composer(s): S. Bernet; J.M. Deuterre; M. Mallory
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Des motos et des hommes
Et la Californie
Je roule en tête
Et la bande me suit

Vers les villes fantômes
La vallée de la mort
Et le désert de l'or

Des shériffs de campagne
Nous regardent passer
On dirait des montagnes
Aux nerfs d'acier

Et leurs mains les démangent
De se faire un carton
Ou de me mettre en prison

Et d'attraper Johnny Rider
Et de boucler Johnny Rider
Oui mais voilà, Johnny Rider, c'est moi
Comme un ange venu de l'enfer
Un fou chevauchant dans un bruit
De tonnerre

Ils ont peur de Johnny Rider
Ils voudraient bien Johnny Rider
Oui mais voilà, Johnny Rider, c'est moi
Comme un ange venu de l'enfer
Un fou chevauchant dans un bruit
De tonnerre

Buvant des bières en boîte
Mangeant des hamburgers
Le soir on s'endort à même la terre

Les indiens nous insultent
Et nous jettent des pierres
Pour mieux cacher leur misère

Des paysans hostiles
A nos cheveux trop longs
Nous tiraient dessus en criant mon nom

Car une de leurs filles
A voulu s'évader
Et avec moi s'en est allé
Car elle voulait Johnny Rider
Oui, elle aimait Johnny Rider
Oui mais voilà, Johnny Rider, c'est moi
Comme un ange venu de l'enfer
Un fou chevauchant dans un bruit
De tonnerre

Huiswaarts


Huiswaarts
((Adapted from: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan) - 1962))
((Finnish Version: Men Bara Om Min Älskade Väntar (Nationalteatern - 1978))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Ernst Jansz
Performer(s): Ernst Jansz - 2010



Als vandaag niet een eindeloze weg was
en vannacht een zee van maneschijn
als morgen niet eindeloos ver weg was
zou de eenzaamheid wellicht te dragen zijn

en alleen maar als mijn lief op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik huiswaarts gaan

een vreemd gezicht weerspiegelt in het water
waar een vreemde stem geen woord spreekt van verdriet herken ik evenmin de echo van mijn voetstap
en herinner mij de klank van mijn naam niet

en alleen maar als mijn lief op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik huiswaarts gaan

er is schoonheid in het zilverstromend water
in de gouden stralen van de morgenstond
maar niets ter wereld heeft mij ooit meer bewogen
dan de schoonheid die ik in haar ogen vond

en alleen maar als mijn lief op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik huiswaarts gaan

ja alleen maar als zij daar op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik weer huiswaarts gaan

Tomorrow Is A Long Time

Composer(s): Bob Dylan

If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

Gotta Find My Baby (aka I Got To Find My Baby)
Composer(s): Doctor Clayton
First release by: Peter J. Clayton - 1941
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm gonna search this town
from door to door
The love I crave
I can't find no more

I got to find my baby
I declare there ain't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
since that woman said goodbye
You know I hate to see the sun
sinking to the west
'cause I know my whole life's
gonna be one solid mess

I got to find my baby
I declare there ain't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
since that woman said goodbye

Well ever since the day
that she said we were through
I've been nervous
and shook up too

I got to find my baby
I declare there ain't no lie
I had no real good loving
since that woman said goodbye

Well I don't care if the last thing
I ever do in my life
is to find that little woman
make her my wife

I got to find my baby
I declare there ain't no lie
I had no real good loving
since that woman said goodbye

Johnny Remember Me


Johnny Remember Me
Composer(s): Geoff Goddard
Performer(s): John Leyton;
The Meteors; The Spell



When the mist's a rising
And the rain is falling
And the wind is blowing cold across the moor
I hear the voice of my darling
The girl I loved and lost a year ago

(Johnny remember me)

Well it's hard to believe I know
But I hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me

(Johnny remember me)

Yes I'll always remember
Till the day I die
I'll hear her cry
Johnny remember me

Well some day I guess
I'll find myself another little girl
To take the place of my true love
But as long as I live I know
I'll hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me

(Johnny remember me)

Yes I'll always remember
Till the day I die
I'll hear her cry
Johnny remember me

(Johnny remember me)

Men Bara Om Min Älskade Väntar


Men Bara Om Min Älskade Väntar
((Adapted from: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan) - 1962)) ((Dutch Version: Huiswaarts (Ernst Jansz) - 2010)) Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Nationalteatern Performer(s): Nationalteatern - 1978



Om idag inte var en ändlös landsväg och i natt en vild och krokig stig om i morgon inte kändes så oändlig Då är ensamhet ett ord som inte finns Men bara om min älskade väntar och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå... Bara om hon låg här tätt intill mig kan jag bli den jag var igår Jag kan inte se min spegelbild i vattnet Jag kan inte säga sorgelösa ord Jag hör inte mitt eko slå mot gatan Kan inte minnas vem jag var igår Men bara om min älskade väntar... Det finns skönhet i flodens silversånger Det finns skönhet i gryningssolens sken Men då ser jag i min älskades ögö en skönhet större än allting som jag vet! Och bara om jag vet att hon väntar och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå Bara om hon låg tätt intill mig kan jag bli den jag var igår

Tomorrow And Tomorrow


Tomorrow And Tomorrow
Composer(s): Fripp - McDonald - Lake - Giles - Sinfield
Performer(s): King Crimson



The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams

Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

I Got The Sun In The Morning


I Got The Sun In The Morning
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists



Taking stock of what I have and what I haven’t
What do I find? The things I got will keep me satisfied
Checking up on what I have and what I haven’t
What do I find? A healthy balance on the credit side

Got no diamonds, got no pearls
Still I think I’m a lucky girl
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Got no mansion, got no yacht
Still I’m happy with what I’ve got
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way
Got no cheque books, got no banks
Still I’d like to express my thanks
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening
I’m all right

De-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

De-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way
Got no cheque books, got no banks
Still I’d like to express my thanks
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
And with the sun in the morning, moon in the evening
I’m doing all right
Doing all right
Doing all right
I’m doing all right

Johnny Reb


Johnny Reb
Composer(s): Merle Kilgore
Performer(s): Johnny Horton;
and various other artists



Chorus:
You fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb

Saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee
You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain
Even tho' you lost they speak highly of your name, 'cause

(Chorus)

I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
I saw the young boys as they began to fall
You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all, but

(Chorus)

I saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his hand
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red
When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead, 'cause

(Chorus)

When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
The folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ball
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe

You fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb

(Chorus)

Tomorrow (Dennis King & Carolyn Thomson)


Tomorrow
Composer(s): Rudolf Friml - Brian Hooker
Performer(s): Dennis King & Carolyn Thomson
and multiple other artists



Lanza:
When you say "Not today", I would ask you then
Will your beauty ever be quite so fair again
When you frown and look down, let me ask of you
Can I ever love you more than today I do

Tomorrow is too far away
Tomorrow is long to delay
Tomorrow today will be only a memory
Tomorrow we may learn that each
Tomorrow is still out of reach
So borrow tomorrow with me

Raskin:
When you sigh love is nigh, I would have you know
Love is not a passerby, lovers come and go
When you smile, wait a while, I would understand
Will you care to keep my heart when you have my hand

Lanza: Tomorrow is too far away
Raskin: Tomorrow will you stay
Lanza: Tomorrow is long to delay
Raskin: Tomorrow will you, Dear
Lanza: Tomorrow today will be
Raskin: Tomorrow will you want to be
Lanza: Only a memory
Raskin: A tender little memory
Lanza: Tomorrow we may learn that each
Raskin: Tomorrow I may reach
Lanza: Tomorrow is still out of reach
Raskin: The sun is still up high
Lanza: So borrow
Raskin: To spend a day
Both: Tomorrow with me

I Got The Same Old Blues


I Got The Same Old Blues
Composer(s): J.J. Cale
First release by: J.J. Cale - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



Have you heard that rumour that's going around
You got it made, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway, but you was gone
I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
When you give me the business, you know I get a mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
Yeah, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

Johnny One Time


Johnny One Time
Composer(s): A.L. Owens; Dallas Frazier
Performer(s): Brenda Lee; Henson Cargill;
Loretta Lynn; Jody Miller; Willie Nelson



So he told you that you're the dream that he's been searching for
And he told you that he'd never met anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you your lips taste just like sherry wine
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

Did he tell you that your heart would soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

So he told you that he'd never lead your heart astray
And he told you that he'd love you forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you that he's the shy and bashful kind
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time

Oh, did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
And did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Oh, did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time.

Did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Oh, did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

Tomorrow (Bill Anderson)


Tomorrow
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



What a wonderful thing that our love would have been tomorrow
What a pity that our dreams didn't stay around to see tomorrow
But your love has gone away and our dreams vanished too
Starved for so many things I intended to do
I'm alone with a love I meant to give to you tomorrow
I'll be the woman that you want tomorrow I got to many things to do today
Tomorrow I'll have lots of time to love you and I let it go another day
I promised all the love you'd need tomorrow
Say all the words you crave to hear me say
And somewhere in your lonely waiting hours
You packed your hungry heart and went away
What a wonderful thing our love would have been tomorrow
What a pity our dreams didn't stay around to see tomorrow
But your love has gone away and our dreams vanished too
Starved for so many things that I intended to do
I'm alone with a love meant to give you tomorrow
Yes your gone today and our dream gone astray
There were still so many things that I intended to do
I'm all alone with a love I meant to give you tomorrow

Tomo Y Obligo


Tomo Y Obligo
Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Manuel Romero
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel



Tomo y obligo, ¡mándese un trago!
que hoy necesito el recuerdo matar
sin un amigo, lejos del pago
quiero en su pecho mi pena volcar
Beba conmigo, y si se empaña
de vez en cuando mi voz al cantar
no es que la llore porque me engaña
¡yo sé que un hombre no debe llorar!

Si los pastos conversaran
esa pampa le diría
de qué modo la quería
con qué fiebre la adoré
cuántas veces de rodillas
tembloroso yo me hincaba
bajo el árbol deshojado
donde un día la besé
Y hoy al verla envilecida
a otros brazos entregada
fue pa' mí una puñalada
y de celos me cegué
y le juro, todavía
no consigo convencerme
cómo pude contenerme
¡si ahí no más no la maté!

Tomo y obligo, ¡mándese un trago!
¡De las mujeres mejor no hay que hablar!
Todas, amigo, dan muy mal pago
y hoy mi experiencia lo puede afirmar
Siga un consejo: ¡no se enamore!
y si una vuelta le toca hocicar
¡fuerza, canejo, sufra y no llore
que un hombre macho no debe llorar!

I Got The Hoss


I Got The Hoss
Composer(s): House
Performer(s): Mel Tillis



Hey baby!
Let me see your brand new saddle
I'll put that pretty thing up on my hoss
Let's get it on real tight now
'Cause we don't want you a fallin' off

I got the hoss and she got the saddle
We like to ride side by side
Boy, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

In the moonlight, by the river
By the honeysuckle vine
We'll be ridin', peepin' and hidin'
Till we see the morning light

Well, I got the hoss and you got the saddle
We gonna ride side by side
Whoa, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Hey baby!
Let's stop for a little while
I need to give my old hoss a rest
And you know they ain't no use
In us tryin' to wear out your brand new saddle

Hear the cricketts singin' softly
Never heard a sweeter sound
And you know cricketts do their singin'
By just rubbin' their legs around

Well, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
We like to ride side by side
Oh, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Well, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
We like to ride side by side
Oh, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Yeah, and I got the hoss and she got the saddle
We like to ride side by side
Oh, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Play the guitar, play it again, my Johnny
Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside
I was always a fool for my Johnny
For the one they call Johnny Guitar

Play it again Johnny Guitar

Whether you go, whether you stay, I love you
But if you're cruel, you can be kind I know
There was never a man like my Johnny
Like the one they call Johnny Guitar

Tommy’s Doll


Tommy’s Doll
Composer(s): Glen Tubb - Jack Moran
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



The kids all laughed at Tommy's Doll but Tommy didn’t care
Cause he felt so much better when that little doll was their
His Mom and Dad were busy doing things that parents do
So Tommy's Doll was all he had to tell his troubles too

When Tommy reach the age of five his Daddy said
“Now Son… It’s time to trade your dolly in for this soldier and this gun”
But Tommy said “O Daddy please… My dolly wants to stay”
But his father said “Now be a man” and he threw the doll away

Tommy never talked much after that
He just sort of went into a shell
But he never cried he just held inside
All those things he couldn’t tell

Then one day he saw his dolly way from a trashcan across the street
And like a flash he darted out his little friend to meet
He never saw the speeding car nor heard the screeching sound
And before the driver knew it, he had run poor Tommy down

The people came as people do and looked down at the boy
He just laid there for a moment like a tragic broken toy
Then reaching out his little arms he sat up straight and tall
And whispered with his dieing breath “Someone please hand me my doll”

I Got The


I Got The
Composer(s): Labi Siffre
First release by: Labi Siffre - 1975



I got the blues but I don't mind
All I have to do is get to you
And than I feel just fine

I'm on a downer, but not all the way
When I'm feelin' low you do your thing just so
And then I feel OK

Your so good the way you give
So good, you're the best there is

I got the blues
Got it oh so bad
When I think of me its hard to be
A person quite so sad

You got the answer
And it makes me glad
When I'm feelin' small you give me rock n' roll
And then I'm feelin' bad

Your so good the way you give
So good, you're the best there is

Just a lonely soul slowly dyin'
I was smilin' hard but I was lyin'
Then you sailed along with you're sweet dream
When you stole my heart I was with it

Mornin' come Sun don't shine
I'll get by without you
I was lost but now I'm found
Tell me love it was you

Mornin' come Sun don't shine
I'll get by without you
I was lost but now I'm found
Tell me love it was you

Just a lonely soul slowly dyin'
I was smilin' hard but I was lyin'
Then you sailed along with you're sweet dream
When you stole my heart I was with it
