Eager Beaver Baby


Eager Beaver Baby
Composer(s): Stanley Clayton - Bill Katz - Ruth Ann Roberts Performer(s): Johnny Burnette; Deja Voodoo; Hi Fly Rangers



I don't know how it started, I don't know what I did
But there's a gal who's chasm' me who really flipped her lid
I call her my eager beaver baby, ooh eager beaver baby
Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine
She's always there beside me, no matter where I stop
She follows me at the movies, even to the barber shop
I call her my eager heaver baby, ooh eager beaver baby
Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine

She gets me in her parlor and switches off the light
Before I know what's happened she's a-huggin' me so tight
I call her my eager beaver baby, eager beaver baby
Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine
She loves to mess my hair up and loosen up my tie
And when she starts a-kissin', I'm a real gone guy
I call her my eager beaver baby, ooh eager beaver baby
Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine

Traveller's Prayer


Traveller's Prayer
Performer(s): Slim Dusty



May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rains fall soft upon your tracks
And until, until we meet again
May God hold you safely in the palm of His hand

May the hills come down to greet you
May the rocks give shelter in the storm
May the dust be soft beneath your feet
And the dark give rest before the dawn
And until, until we meet again
May God hold you safely in the palm of His

In the palm of His hand
In the palm of his hand
in the palm of his hand
Safely in the palm of his hand

May your life have many memories
May your death be sweet and full of peace
May your hope last an eternity
And may your joy carry on and never cease
And until, until we meet again
May God hold you safely in the palm of His

And until, until we meet again
May God hold you safely in the palm of His
In the palm of His hand
In the palm of his hand
in the palm of his hand
Safely in the palm of his hand
In the palm of His hand
In the palm of his hand
in the palm of his hand
Safely in the palm of his hand

I Need You To Turn To


I Need You To Turn To
Italian Title: E Ho Bisogno Di Te - 1973
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



You’re not a ship to carry my life
You’re nailed to my love in many lonely nights
I strayed from the cottages and found myself here
But I need your love
Your love protects my fear

And I wonder sometimes and I know I’m unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
But it’s my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

Did you think you’ll smile on
Well, I said I knew that my reason for living was for loving you
We’re related in feeling of your high above
You’re pure and your gentle with the grace of a dove

And I wonder sometimes and I know I’m unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
But it’s my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

And I wonder sometimes and I know I’m unkind
To my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

Each Word's A Beat Of My Heart


Each Word's A Beat Of My Heart
Composer(s): Willy DeVille Performer(s): Mink DeVille; Willy DeVille



Looks like a blue
blue day

Only wish that I could say
That this is rain in my eyes
I only wish I could find the words
To say just how I feel

To say just how I feel inside
So please
listen close
'Cause each word's a beat of my heart
Someway
somehow
I'll find
How to say what's on my mind
Till then you'll have to read my eyes
Looks like a blue day
Only wish that I could say
That this is rain in my eyes
So please
listen close
'Cause each word's a beat of my heart
Each word's a beat of my heart

Each word's a beat of my heart

Traveling Down The Blue Road


Traveling Down The Blue Road
Composer(s): Marshall Wilborn
Performer(s): Doyle Lawson



Traveling down the blue road
Wondering, hardly waiting just to get back home again
Winds are blowing down the blue road
Too long a loser, soon he's gonna win

He's worked in wood, worked in steel, call him what you will
Years can never outnumber the miles on his shoes
Been a lover and a fighter, gambler and moonshiner
Call him well-acquainted with the blues

Speak of oil fields, cottonfields, bright lights and city nights
Think about most any place he may have lived or died
There but now there's a lady who can turn back the miles
Gentle as a summer morning air

First release by: Ivory Joe Hunter - 1950

I need you so
To keep me happy
If I can't have you
I cannot go on

I need your arms
Around me tightly
Yes, I miss them nightly
When you're not at home

When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door

When you leave me
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry
'Cause I need you so

When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door

When you leave me
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry
'Cause I need you so

Travelin' Shoes (Sawyer Brown)


Travelin' Shoes
Performer(s): Sawyer Brown



Mama always reminds me that we're only passin' through
The treasures of this world are not for us to hold on to
She says the way we're headed
Will take us where we're bound
And we can not lay our journey down

Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

My bags are pack and waiting and I'm headed for the door
The train Is at the station , got my ticket and I'll board
The brakeman swings his lantern
Lit with never ending love
And mama I can't thank you near enough

Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

We can't stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

Danish Title: For Første Gang - 1955
Composer(s): Al Jacobs; Jimmie Crane
First release by: Eddie Fisher - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists



If I ever needed you, I need you now
I can't remember when I've ever been so blue
If I ever needed love, I need it now
I feel so all alone I don't know what to do

No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can ease my achin' heart but you'd know how
If I ever needed you, I need you now

If I ever needed love, I need it now
I feel so all alone I don't know what to do

No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can ease my achin' heart, Honey, you'd know how
If I ever needed you, I need you now

Each Time


Each Time
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon Performer(s): The Searchers



Each time you hurt me and desert me
You swear you'll never do it again
Oh each time I catch you lyin' I start cryin'
You say "It's the last time" and then

Oh you say "Oh baby, everything's gonna be fine"
And like a fool I keep forgivin' you each time

Each time I say I'll leave you, never see you
You tell me you'll make it all up to me
Oh each time you say "Let's try it just once more"
'Cause I'm all you're livin' for, you'll change, I'll see

Then you call me baby, everything's gonna be fine
Then like a fool I keep forgivin' you each time

Wish that I felt just like I did before
There was a time I could walk out the door
But I can't go now though I know it's wrong
'Cause good or bad it's with you I belong

Then you say "Oh baby, everything's gonna be fine"
No matter what you do, I keep forgivin' you
Each time, each time, each time, each time

Travelin' Shoes (Elvin Bishop)


Travelin' Shoes
Composer(s): Elvin Bishop
Performer(s): Elvin Bishop; Hal Singer; Maria Muldaur



Me and my old lady
Ain't been getting along
If things don't get better
I'll soon be long gone

The situation is driving me insane
Somebody fetch me my hat and coat
And hand me my walking cane

Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes

I'm trying to tell you, boys
These hard headed women these days
The way they treat a man
Ain't nothing but a doggone shame

I talked and talked and talked
She didn't hear a word I said

Gonna get somebody's baseball bat
And send her out again

Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes

I Need You (The Who)


I Need You
Composer(s): Keith Moon
Performer(s): The Who



Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"

You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd

Please talk to me again
I need you

We're dancing
We will come and dance near you
We want to learn
Let us come and sitar with you

Distort my ears when
The music's loud
Yet you raise your hatchet
In the yellow crowd

Please talk to me again
I need you

Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"

You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd

Please talk to me again
I need you

Each Night At Nine


Each Night At Nine
Composer(s): Floyd Tillman First release by: Floyd Tillman - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists



A thousand miles dear a thousand more
Across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine
Please think of me dear each night at nine

I hold your picture close to my heart
It takes your place dear while we're apart
Helps remind me that you're still mine
To feel your nearness each night at nine

The bugle's playing out goes the light
Gee but it's lonely these Army nights
Please tell kiddies I'm doing fine
Give them my love dear each night at nine

A thousand miles dear a thousand more
Across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine
Please think of me dear each night at nine

Travelin' Shoes (Clancy Hayes)


Travelin' Shoes
Composer(s): Clancy Hayes
Performer(s): Clancy Hayes



Travelin' shoes, I have news for you
We're takin' off tomorrow at ten
I just got a note from a gal who wrote
She wants to see us again

Travelin' shoes, you carried me
Over many wearyin' miles
And you know the route, so don't give out
For a little while

And at the gate, I'll keep a permanent date
With my honey, so sunny
What is more, I'll never stray from her door again
Goin' gome and then

Travelin' shoes, I'll be through with you
I'm settin' out to settle right down
I'm gonna lose these homeless blues
Back in my home town

Travelin' shoes, I'll be through with you
Takin' off to settle right down
And I'm gonna lose these homeless blues
Back in my home town
Split Lip, Nevada
Back in that one horse town

J'Y Pense Et Puis J'Oublie


J'y Pense Et Puis J'oublie ((Adapted from: It Comes And Goes (Burl Ives) - 1963)) ((Dutch Version: De Tijd Komt En Gaat Voorbij (Johnny Lion) - 1966)) Composer(s): Bill Anderson - Claude François Performer(s): Claude François - 1964



Tout le monde me demande si je t'aime encore
Et si je pense encore à toi
Ils me demandent de parler de mon cœur
C'est triste depuis de long mois.
Je mens un petit peu, et je dis fièrement
Cette histoire est finie
Mais je dois avouer que certains soirs peut-être
Parfois j'ypense et puis j'oublie

J'y pense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense surtout quand je suis seul la nuit
Et quand ton souvenir
Revient me faire souffrir
Très vite j'y pense et puis j'oublie

Tout le monde me demande si j'ai pleuré
Et si je pleure encore pour toi
Mais s'ils me le demandent
C'est tout simplement pour pouvoir rire de moi
Si je mens un petit peu et que je dis fièrement
Je n'ai jamais pleuré de ma vie
C'est tout juste si mes yeux me picotent un peu
Lorsque j'y pense et puis j'oublie

J'y pense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense surtout quand je suis seul la nuit
Et quand ton souvenir
Revient me faire souffrir
Très vite j'y pense et puis j'oublie

J'y pense et puis j'oublie
Mais j'y pense beaucoup plus que je n'oublie
Car tout au fond de moi
Je sens que cet amour
J'y pense j'y penserai toujours
J'y pense j'y penserai toujours

Travelin' Man (The Doobie Brothers)


Travelin' Man
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



The sun brings up another day
near the little fishin' town
The nets are hung out in the wind
The sails are down
A seagull flies above my head
spinning slowly toward the sea
He seems so free, and just like me he rides the wind

I'm a trav-'lin' man
Nothin' left behind me but the road
I'm a trav-'lin' man
Won't you share the load?

Lonesome shepherd in the field ahead
Moonlight flows across the grass
The rocky hills catch the light
above their shadows cast
Lonely by the day, drifting late at night
The wind is creepin' through my ragged coat
What a life!

I'm a trav-'lin' man
Nothin' left behind me but the road
I'm a trav-'lin' man
Won't you share the load?

I'm a trav-'lin' man
Nothin' left behind me but the road
I'm a trav-'lin' man
Won't you share the load?

I'm a trav-'lin' man
Nothin' left behind me but the road
I'm a trav-'lin' man
Won't you share the load?

I Need You (America)


I Need You
Composer(s): Gerry Beckley
Performer(s): America



We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bow our heads then
Wonder why

But now you're gone
I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you
I need you

And every day
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me

J'Vous Dérange?


J'Vous Dérange?
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Début de week-end
Dans mon H.L.M.
C'est la fuite
Et je glande
Au flipper d'à côté
Y a le R.E.R.
Je vais me le faire
Et rôder
Du côté
Des vieux Champs-Elysées
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'provoquer
J'vous dérange
J'suis pas v'nu vous chercher
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'inviter
J'vous dérange
Mais j'n'ai rien demandé
Vignette moto
Bonjour la galère
Et amis
Des maifs
Rendez-vous au métro
Vignette landau
Pour toutes les mères
Il n'y a pas de quoi rire
C'est sûr'ment pour bientôt
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'inviter
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'provoquer
J'vous dérange
J'suis pas venu vous chercher
J'vous dérange
Mais j'n'ai rien demandé
Du côté joggin'
Y a sûrement à faire
Un impôt
Sur la sueur
Sur tous ces buveurs d'eau
Complet le parking
Amende et fourrière
Samedi soir à Paris
Vive les paranos
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'provoquer
J'vous dérange
J'suis pas v'nu vous chercher
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'inviter
J'vous dérange
Mais j'n'ai rien demandé
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'provoquer
J'vous dérange
J'suis pas v'nu vous chercher
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'inviter
J'vous dérange
Mais j'n'ai rien demandé

Travelin' Man
Composer(s): Jerry Fuller
First release: Ricky Nelson - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl
I've a pretty senorita waitin' for me down in old Mexico
And if you're ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little Eskimo

Oh my sweet Fräulein down in Berlin town makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki and I held you oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Woe, I'm a travelin' man

I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl

I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl

Oh my sweet Fräulein down in Berlin town makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki and I held you oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Woe, I'm a travelin' man
