Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello


Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



She's sitting right over there
I'd know that face anywhere
I'd run up and embrace her
But I’m ashamed to face her
Just tell her Jim said hello

I'd like to pour out my heart
But I don't know where to start
I'd like to tell her
What I’m really feeling but
Just tell her Jim said hello

Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim and she'll know

Don't tell her I’m feeling blue
That's just between me and you
Don't say I’m thinking of her
Don't tell her I still love her
Just tell her Jim said hello

Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello

Trailing Around In A Trailer


Trailing Around In A Trailer
Composer(s): Harry Gifford - Fred E. Cliffe
Performer(s): George Formby



I love the fresh air, it's great, I declare
Wide open spaces for me
With trailer and car I set out afar
A rover I meant to be
Over the hills and dales
Over the slugs and snails
Trailing around in a trailer
Eee, it's champion campin' out

It's just like a real gypsy life
To make it look more real, a gypsy lent me his wife
I'd only one pair of pyjamas
It was awkward there's no doubt
We shared the suit between us, but we found it too tight
She had got the left leg on, so I put on the right
The tape it broke and I never got a wink of sleep all night
Eee, it's champion campin' out

On a farm t'other night, I was doin' all right
A dairy maid sat on me knee
One kiss it begun at a quarter-to-one
And it lasted till half-past-three
For breakfast we'd eggs and ham
Then I thought it was time to scram and go
Ttrailin around in me trailer
Eee, it's champion campin' out

To shut the window one day I tried
I banged it in a hurry with me head still inside
When I was doin' some fishin'
A girl strayed round about
She smiled and whispered, "Any luck?", she seemed a gay spark
As far as fishin' went, it's true me luck was off the mark
But I had a bit of luck with her as soon as it was dark
Eee, it's champion campin' out

Just Someone I Used To Know


Just Someone I Used To Know
Composer(s): Jack Clement
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton;
and various other artists



There's a picture that I carry
One we made some time ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just "Someone I used to know"

Just someone, I used to spend some time with
Just a flame, that's lost its glow
But I don't them of the nights I cried without you
I say just "Someone I used to know"

Just someone, I use to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them, how lost I am without you
I say just "Someone I used to know"

I say just "Someone I used to know"

Trail Of Tears


Trail Of Tears
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Allen Reynolds
Performer(s): Nick Lowe
and multiple other artists



I've seen shadow, I've seen shine
I know what and what is not mine
I've seen glitter and I've seen gold
And I've heard everything I've been told
And I don't want to spend my life time walking
A trail of tears
I don't want to spend my whole life walking
Along a trail of tears
Trail of tears
Well you know battle, you know war
You know what and what you are for
Scared of you and I'm scared of me
Scared of letting my future be
And I don't want to spend my life time walking
A trail of tears
I don't want to spend my life time walking
A trail of tears
Trail of tears
Nobody in their right mind
Could fail to see unless they were blind
It's gone, true love has gone
Nobody wants to throw it away
But oh my darling how can I stay
When it's gone, good has gone
I've seen shadow, I've seen shine
I know what and what is not mine
I've seen glitter, I've seen gold
And I've heard everything I've been told
And I don't want to spend my life time walking
A trail of tears
I don't want to spend my whole life walking
Along trail of tears
Trail of tears

I Met Her In Church


I Met Her In Church
Composer(s): Spooner Oldham; Dan Penn
Performer(s): The Box Tops; Tony Borders



I met her in church, I met her in church
On a Sunday morning
She looked at me with eyes aglow
As the choir sang hallelujah
hallelujah
I met her in church, I met her in church
We fell in love on a Sunday morning
Then all at once I heard angels singing
Singing Hallejulah
Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
Saturday night turned into Sunday light
I found love on a back row seat
In a little church just down the street
Met her in church, had a wedding in church
Church, had the wedding in church
The lord willing and the creek don't rise
We're gonna be happy the rest of our lives
I met her in church, I met her in church
Hallejulah
I met her in church, I met her in church
Hallejulah
I met her in church, I met her in church
Hallejulah ...

Just Seven Numbers (Can Straighten Out My Life)
Composer(s): Gloria Jones; Pam Sawyer
Performer(s): The Four Tops



Baby baby, oh yeah, I my
Just seven numbers can straighten out my life
But my pride won't let me phone
Just seven numbers can put me through to you girl
(Doot- do-do-do-do)
Then I'll know you're really at home

You haven't been fair to me
Playin' on like jealousy
You say you're seein' some other guy
I don't know the truth from a lie
If I only knew where you were (only knew)

Just seven numbers can straighten out my life
If my fingers would only turn the dial
Just seven numbers can put me through to you girl
(Doot-do-do-do-do)
Just your hello, make me smile

I haven't been fair to myself
I tried to call someone else
But after she said 'hi' I hung up the telephone line
If I only knew where you were (only knew)
Just seven numbers can put me straight through to you

ay, yeah.....baby.....whoa
(Just seven numbers) has taken out my life, oh girl
But my fingers don't turn the dial
(Just seven numbers) can put me through to you, baby
Just your hello would make me smile
(Just seven numbers, seven numbers)

(sound of telephone dialing-rotary!)

Lift up the wire and turn the dial!
(Seven numbers)
You'd straighten out my life
Whoa whoa, yeah baby, yeah
(Just seven numbers) I hi-hi
Yeah, I-hi-hi-hi

Traigo El Corazón Herido


Traigo El Corazón Herido
Composer(s): Roberto Livi - Alejandro Vezzani
Performer(s): Raphael



Traigo el corazón herido
Escondido aquí en mi pecho
No se escuchan sus latidos
Por el mal que tú le has hecho
Traigo el corazón herido
Él está que ya se muere
Y hay un solo responsable
Este tonto que te quiere
Traigo el corazón herido
Y lo dejo aquí en tu puerta
Si la cierras me lo matas
Tienes que dejarla abierta
Tú sabes que está en tus manos
Que se salve o que se muera
Se salva si lo recoges
Se muere si queda afuera
Tú sabes que está en tus manos
Escucha bien lo que digo
Mi corazón se me muere
Si no se queda contigo

I Met A Girl


I Met A Girl
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Betty Comden; Adolph Green
Performer(s): Sydney Chaplin
and multiple other artists



Yoo-hoo! I met a girl, a wonderful girl
She's really got a lot to recommend her for a girl
Fabulous creature without any doubt
Hey! What am I getting so excited about?
She's just a girl, an ev'ry day girl
And yet I guess she's really rather special for a girl
For once you have seen her the others are out
Hey! What am I getting so excited about?
But so what, what has she got others have not?
Two eyes, two lips, a nose, all girls have some of those
But when she looks up at me, what do I see?
The most enchanting face, my pulse begins to race
Hey! I met a girl, a marvellous girl
She's rarer than uranium and fairer than a pearl
Found me a treasure and I want to shout
Hey! What am I getting so excited about?
But so what, what has she got others have not?
Two eyes, two lips, a nose, all girls have some of those
But when she looks up at me, what do I see?
The most enchanting face, my pulse begins to race
Hey! (He met a girl, a marvellous girl)
(She's rarer than uranium and fairer than a pearl)
Found me a treasure and I want to shout
This is what I'm getting so excited about
I met a girl and I fell in love today

Just Rollin' On


Just Rollin' On
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



You ask me where I’m goin’ I’m sure I do not know
But it does not matter much just so I’m on the go
I’m searching for that somethin’ I know I’ll never find
But just let me drift along and dream away my time

Rollin’ On just Rollin’ On
Rollin’ On you see
But I’d rather roll along I don’t want company
Everything I’ve ever planned always turned out wrong
So if it’s all the same to you I’ll just keep Rollin’ On

Now happiness is somethin’ that most folks never find
But we all can dream of it leave that troubled mind
The only love I’ve ever known left me with a scar
A memory that’s haunting me though I’ve traveled far

Rollin’ On just Rollin’ On
Rollin’ On you see
But I’d rather roll along I don’t want company
Everything I’ve ever planned always turned out wrong
So if it’s all the same to you I’ll just keep Rollin’ On

There’s no use my pretending of course I’m really sad
But I’ve find some good things all mixed up with the bad
I’ve been a lot of places I’ve done a lot that’s wrong
But perhaps I’ll win the fight if I keep Rollin’ On

Rollin’ On just Rollin’ On
Rollin’ On you see
But I’d rather roll along I don’t want company
Everything I’ve ever planned always turned out wrong
So if it’s all the same to you I’ll just keep Rollin’ On

Tragic Romance


Tragic Romance
Composer(s): Louis Marshall Jones - Zeke Morris - Wiley Morris
Performer(s): Cowboy Copas
and multiple other artists



Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee hills
Midst peaceful pines 'neath the rocks and the rills
There stands my old homestead of long years ago
Brings back sweet memories of the one I loved so

I courted a maiden so sweet and so fair
With pearly blue eyes and with chestnut brown hair
She promised to love and said she'd be mine
But I went away leaving her there behind

I'll tell you the reason why I left her there
To roam this old world with its sorrow and cares
I saw her one night in the arms of a man
Hugging and kissing as true lovers can

I went to my home with a heart full of woe
Packed my belongings, determined to go
For many long years this old world I did roam
With thoughts of my sweetheart, my darling, my own

While dining one day in a little country town
A stranger came in and he chanced to sit down
While talking of loved ones I happened to find
That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine

Now, I am the man who you saw that fateful night
Wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight
She waited so long for the day you'd return
And why you had left her she never did learn

When he heard my story to me then he said
The one that you loved has a long time been dead
She loved you so dearly, but you broke her heart
Poor stranger, from her ever more you must part

All through the day
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
All through the night

Everyone's reading it

All through the day

Even those tears

No one's frightened of playing it
Everyone's saying it
Flowing more freely than wine

All I can hear
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Even those tears

Flowing more freely that wine

Just Remember I Love You


Just Remember I Love You
Composer(s): Rick Roberts
Performer(s): Firefall;
Beki Hemingway; Barry Manilow



When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
The days get rainy and the nights get long
When you get that feelin' you were born to lose
Staring at your ceiling thinkin' of your blues

When there's so much trouble that you want to cry
The world has crumbled and you don't know why
When your hopes are fading and they can't be found
Dreams have left you waiting, friends have let you down

Just remember I love you
And it'll be alright
Just remember I love you
More than I can say
Maybe then your blues will fade away

When you need a lover and you're down so low
Start to wonder, but you never know
When it feels like sorrow is your only friend
Knowing that tomorrow you'll feel this way again

When the blues come callin' at the break of dawn
Rain keeps fallin', but the rainbow's gone
When you feel like crying but the tears won't come
When your dreams are dyin', when you're on the run

Just remember I love you
And it'll be alright
Just remember I love you
More than I can say
Just remember I love you
And it'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

Wind and storm (ooh-ooh)
Gone's the sun (the sun, ooh)
From the stars my dark has come
You've gone from me, oh, oh, tragedy (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Oh, come back
Have me here
Hold me, love
Be sincere
You've gone from me, oh, oh, tragedy (ee-ee, ee-ee, ee-ee, ee-ee)

(ah, ah, ah)
Like smoke from a fire
Of love oh, oh, oh, ooh
Our dreams have all gone
Above oh, oh, oh, ooh

Blown by wind
Kissed by snow
All that's left is the dark be-ee-ee-low
You've gone from me, oh, oh, tragedy
(Oh, oh, oh)
Tragedy

Tragedy (Bee Gees)


Tragedy
Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Robin Gibb - Maurice Gibb
First release: Bee Gees - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



Here I lie
in a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a world of tears I slowly drown
Goin' home
I just can't make it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you loving you

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

Night and day
there's a burning down inside of me
Burning love
With a yearning that won't let me be
Down I go
and I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you loving

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere

Tragedy... (Repeat)

I'll give my hand to those who cannot see
The sunshine or the fallin' rain

I'll sing my song to cheer the weary along
For I may never pass this way again!

I'll share my faith with every troubled heart
So I shall not have lived in vain

I'll give my hand, I'll sing my song
I'll share my faith, because I know
That the time is now to fulfill each vow
For I may never pass this way again!

Just Out Of Reach (Of My Two Open Arms)
Composer(s): Virgil F. Stewart
Performer(s): Patsy Cline;
and various other artists



Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on both'rin' me
Chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two open arms

Each night in dreams I see your face
Mem'ries time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you've gone
I'm so blue, I'm all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two open arms

(That lonesome feeling all the time)
(Knowing you cannot be mine)
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we could never keep
Too far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two open arms

Trafico Por Katmandu


Trafico Por Katmandu
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Y te digo
que desde adentro yo me puedo mover
hice un agujero en una inmensa pared
prendí la radio y escuche y escuche
200 chicos mueren hoy sin su AZT
Dime Dios: Hay stop?
donde estés dímelo
si hablábamos de luz
del trafico por Katmandu

No todo el mundo va a dejarse caer
no todo el mundo va a arrastrarse a tus pies
lo que me falta no es la falta de fe
tendrías que pensarlo seriamente esta vez
ademan Art Deco
muéstrame quémalo
si hablábamos de luz
debajo de la Cruz del Sur

No tengo prisa no hay a donde llegar
este milagro es de un perfecto cristal
sabiduría pop me lo hizo entender
que siempre fue lo mismo el mono y Citizen Kane
yo también perdí quimeras
pero me hice buen voyeur

Y te digo
que desde adentro nos podemos mover
hace un agujero en una inmensa pared
después sácate poco a poco la piel
la sangre es para siempre
nada puedes hacer
además, vos y yo
ámame por favor
si amábamos la luz
debajo de la Cruz del Sur

Siempre mas, never stop
te ofrecí mi corazón
si hablábamos de luz
del trafico por Katmandu
