Tucumcari
Tucumcari
Composer(s): Mark McIntyre - William Olofson
Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers
Twelve more miles to Tucumcari
I've been hurrying there
To the gal I'm gonna marry
With the yellowest hair
Left, right, march along
I just gotta get home (Just gotta get home)
Ten more miles to Tucumcari
Then I'll never more roam
(Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)
Eight more miles to Tucumcari
It's the fourth of July
Been three years in January
Since I kissed her goodbye
Left, right, march along
I've just gotta get home (Just gotta get home)
Six more miles to Tucumcari
Then I'll never more roam
(Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)
Four more miles to Tucumcari
Not much further to go
Got no time to waste or tarry
She'll be waitin' I know
Left, right, march along
I've just gotta get home (Just gotta get home)
Two more miles to Tucumcari
Then I'll never more roam
(Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)
Here I am in Tucumcari
Found my yellow-haired gal
Just in time to see her marry
With my very best pal
Left, right, march along
Guess I better be gone (I better be gone)
A thousand miles from Tucumcari
I'll be rambling on
(Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I'll be rambling on)
A hundred miles from Tucumcari
Down in Santa Fe
Fell in love with a girl named Mary
Gee I'm happy today
No more marching now
Found my honeycomb (Found my honeycomb)
I've forgotten Tucumcari
No more reason to roam
(Tucumcari, Tucumcari)
I've forgotten Tucumcari
No more reason to roam

I Was Born In Virginia
I Was Born In Virginia (aka "Virginia" or "Ethel Levey's Virginia Song")
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): Ethel Levey
I was born in a Southern state
Where all nature's sublime
In a city where the gals are pretty
And the sun shines nearly all the time
Hospitality there you'll find
Bright smiles ev'rywhere
When I look 'roun' and see some other town
I'm mighty glad I come from there
I was born in Virginia
That's the state that will win yer
If you've got a soul in yer
Ain't no Southern frown
In the city of Norfolk
Home of beauties and war talk
Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it
That doggarn town
Something nice about Southerners
You don't find ev'rywhere
Never con yer, but they smile upon yer
And they make you happy while you're there
Old Kentucky and Tennessee
They can certainly go some
Travel far and wide, still I'm satisfied
To settle in the state I'm from
I was born in Virginia
That's the state that will win yer
If you've got a soul in yer
Ain't no Southern frown
In the city of Norfolk
Home of beauties and war talk
Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it
That doggarn town

El Mala Estrella
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
and multiple other artists
Ahí les va el nuevo corrido
es la historia de un amigo
que nació con mala estrella
anmda muy enamorado
pero mal correspondido
pues nació con mala estrella
Yo le digo no seas tonto
ya no le hagas tanto al loco
la muchacha... no te quiere...
yo sé bien que anda volada
por un tipo que muy hombre
pero como es muy tu amigo
mejor ne te doy su nombre
Qué voy a hacer
si cada que me mira
me dice y me suspira
que como yo no hay otro
Qué voy a hacer
si yo también la miro
le digo y le suspiro
que con su amor soy todo
Pero él sigue con su sueño
de llegar a ser su dueño
la muchacha... no lo quiere...
yo lo mando a la cantina
que se acabe una botella
pero ya ni el vino le hace
pues nació con mala estrella

Tuck Me To Sleep In My Old 'Tucky Home
Tuck Me To Sleep In My Old 'Tucky Home
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis - Joe Young - George W. Meyer
Old Kentucky cradled me when I was born
Old Kentucky how I miss your field of corn
nighttime when I get to bed how I weep and toss my head
I'll weep no more I'm going back instead
Old Kentucky smile up on alone some shack
dear old 'Tucky keep it bright till I get back
make the shadows stay away from my mammy old and gray
she'd weep no more if she could hear me say
Tuck me to sleep in my old 'Tucky home
cover me with Dixie skies and leave me there alone
just let the sun kiss my cheeks every morn
like the kissin' I've been missin' from my mammy since I'm gone
I ain't had a bit of rest, since I left my mammy's nest
I can always rest the best in her loving arms
tuck me to sleep in my old Tucky home
let me lay there, stay there never no more to roam

I Was A Fool To Care
I Was A Fool To Care
French Title: J'ai Été Fou D'aimer - 1979
Composer(s): James Taylor
First release by: James Taylor - 1975
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
But I don't care even if I was a fool
I'm still in love with you
Had I listened to the grapevine
I might have had my doubts
But I did my level best just to block them out
'Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes
And it took a while for a fool to see
What his friends were on about
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
But I don't care even if I was a fool
I'm still in love with you
Imagining your face
it almost fills the empty space before me
I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies
I wish I was an old man
And love was through with me
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line
Just keeping track of time
without all these memories
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
But I don't care even if I was a fool
I'm still in love with you
Baby, yes, I am
I could have opened my eyes
I could have seen through your lies
I could have stood for no more
I could have walked out the door
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care

El Loco Y Las Golondrinas
El Loco Y Las Golondrinas
Composer(s): D.A.R.
Performer(s): León Gieco
En el vientre de la noche
el loco vio a un muñeco
a una colmena abandonada
y de las estrellas sus gargantas
Ooooh...
En la espalda del invierno
vio llegar las golondrinas
y le contó la novedades
de los ciento ochenta días
Y mañana que te dirán
de tu enfermedad
quien sabe que te resistes
a la vulgaridad
Cuando la noche oscura invita
a la luna para ser vista
su locura busca un sueño
que se enamora del silencio
Cuando las aves buscan el sonido
de las campanas
su lenguaje busca unas palabras
para ser mas entendido

Tubby The Tuba At The Circus
Tubby The Tuba At The Circus
Composer(s): George Kleinsinger
Performer(s): The Manhattan Transfer
Tubby:
When the buds begin to pop
And the robin takes a hop
Everybody says, "It's spring today!"
I suppose that may be so
But I'd like for you to know
I can always tell it's spring another way/
I can always tell it's spring
When the circus comes to town
It makes me want to sing
When I bump into a clown!
When the circus marches past
And the band goes tan-ta-ra
I know it's spring at last,
And my heart goes, "Oom-Pah!"
Tubby's Idea:
Alley-oop, Oom-Pah
Alley-oop, Oom-Pah
An acrobat you ought to be
Alley-oop, Oom-Pah
Alley-oop, Oom-Pah
Hey Tubby! You'd be a sight to see!
Elephant:
Be yourself, you can't be anybody else
Be yourself is my advice to you
Or else you'll always be a nobody
So be yourself, or else
A hippopotamus
Would look very curious
Flying like a butterfly
A fierce and hungry lion
Would look silly tryin'
To bake an apple pie
I think you'd get a laugh
If you saw a tall giraffe
Swinging by his tail from a tree
I think an octopus
Would look quite ridiculous
Knitting sweaters at the bottom of the sea
So be yourself, and do the things that you know best
Be yourself, I think that you'd be happiest
By being no one else but you

J'ai Été Fou D'aimer
J'ai Été Fou D'aimer
Adapted from: I Was A Fool To Care - 1975
Composer(s): James Taylor; Michel Delpech; Jean-Michel Rivat
Performer(s): Michel Delpech - 1979
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
Mais je m'en fous
Même si j'ai été un fou
Je suis encore amoureux
Si j'avais écouté les ragots j'aurai eu quelques doutes
Mais j'ai fait tout mon possible pour leur barrer la route
Car l'amour n'y voit rien
Et l'amour nous tient
Et il faut du temps à un fou qui rêve
Pour savoir ce que tout le monde sait
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
Mais je m'en fous
Même si j'ai été un fou
Je suis encore amoureux
J'imagine ton visage
Tu remplis presque tout l'espace devant moi
Et je vois tes yeux
Tes mensonges et tes jolis jeux
Oh oui
Je voudrais être un vieil homme qui n'a plus ces tourments
Je voudrais être un bébé sur les genoux de sa maman
Je voudrais être comme un train qui siffle où qu'il aille
Qui suit toujours ses rails
Sans mes souvenirs obsédants
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
Mais je m'en fous
Même si j'ai été un fou
Je suis encore amoureux
Oh oui, je le suis
J'aurai pu ouvrir les yeux
J'aurai pu voir dans ton jeu
J'aurai pu en avoir marre
J'aurai pu te dire au revoir
Mais
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
Mais je m'en fous
Même si j'ai été un fou
Décidement, j'ai été fou d'aimer

El Lazo
El Lazo
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara; Francesca Ancarola
Cuando el sol se inclinaba
lo encontre
en un rancho sombrio
de Lonquen
en un rancho de pobres
lo encontre
cuando el sol se inclinaba
en Lonquen
Sus manos siendo tan viejas
eran fuertes pa' trenzar
eran rudas y eran tiernas
con el cuero'el animal
El lazo como serpiente
se enroscaba en el nogal
y en cada lazo la huella
de su vida y de su pan
Cuanto tiempo hay en sus manos
y en su apagado mirar
Y nadie ha dicho: esta bueno
ya no debes trabajar
La sombra viene laceando
la ultima luz del dia
el viejo trenza unos versos
pa' maniatar la alegria
Sus lazos han recorrido
sur y norte, cerro y mar
pero el viejo la distancia
nunca la supo explicar
Su vida deja en los lazos
aferrados al nogal
despues llegara la muerte
y tambien lo laceara
Que importa si el lazo es firme
y dura la eternidad
laceando por algun campo
el viejo descanzara
Cuando el sol se inclinaba
lo encontre
en un rancho sombrio
de Lonquen
en un rancho de pobres
lo encontre
cuando el sol se inclinaba
en Lonquen

Tubby The Tuba
Tubby The Tuba
Composer(s): George Kleinsinger - Paul Tripp
Performer(s): Danny Kaye
and multiple other artists
There once was a band, best in the land
Everybody said oh my, they're grand
But oh, how they laughed when the tuba went by
With an oompah pah, and a great big sigh
Tubby the tuba puffing away never had a tune to play
Always dreamed he'd sing a song instead of puffing all day long
With his oompah, oom pah pah, oom pah, oompah pah pah
Tubby said oh, gosh oh, gee, wish I had a melody
I'd be better off I know if I didn't have to blow
This oompah, oom pah pah, oompah, oom pah pah
Then a friendly frog came by and said now Tubby don't you cry
Take my bullfrog serenade and you'll be the star of the big parade
Tubby sang the song so grand, now he's leader of the band
He's as famous as can be with Tubby the tuba's melody
Then a friendly frog came by and said now Tubby don't you cry
Take my bullfrog serenade and you'll be the star of the big parade
Tubby sang the song so grand, now he's leader of the band
He's as famous as can be with Tubby the tuba's melody
Tubby the tuba's melody

I Was A Fool (To Let You Go)
I Was A Fool (To Let You Go)
Composer(s): Marty Panzer; Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
and multiple other artists
After I've had my last cigarette
When the night is as black as the night's gonna get
Well, I'm still wide awake cause I still can't forget
I was a fool to let you go
And after I've closed the bar with the boys
Though I can't stand the drinks and I can't stand the noise
When I know I'll be back 'cause there's no other choice
I know I was a fool to let you go
I was a fool to think
That I could sleep a wink
In this big empty bed by myself
And I was a fool to wait
Until it was too late
To tell you just how I felt
And after I've been with somebody new
And she knows what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true
I know I was a fool to let you go
And after I've been with somebody new
And she knows what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true
When I see what it cost and what I'm going through
I know I was a fool
I was a fool to let you go

El Jinete
El Jinete
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Por la lejana montaña
va cabalgando un jinete
vaga solito en el mundo
y va deseando la muerte
Lleva en el pecho una herida
va con su alma destrozada
quisiera perder la vida
y reunirse con su amada
La queria mas que a su vida
y la perdio para siempre
por eso lleva una herida
por eso busca la muerte
Con su guitarra cantando
se pasa noches enteras
hombre y guitarra llorando
a la luz de las estrellas
Despues se pierde en la noche
y aunque la noche es muy bella
el va pidiendole a Dios
que se lo lleve con ella
La queria mas que a su vida
y la perdio para siempre
por eso lleva una herida
por eso busca la muerte
por eso lleva una herida...

Tubas In The Moonlight
Tubas In The Moonlight
Performer(s): Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
Through the twilight, I can hear the humming of a melancholy coon (mm-mm)
For the memories that still linger, I thank you mister Moon
And, although I've never smiled
Winter, summer, autumn too
Now here's one tune to remind me why I feel so blue-oo...
Tubas in the moonlight, playing for me all night
Tell me what I want to hear
Am I only dreaming?
Am I only scheming?
Stars above me, shining brightly
Why can't she be sitting here beside me?
Tubas in the moonlight will bring my loved one home
Tubas in the moonlight will bring my loved one home

Outbound Plane
Outbound Plane
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith; Tom Russell
First release by: Nanci Griffith - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists
I don't want to be standing here
With this ticket for this outbound plane
Oh, I've been here before
Somehow this doesn't feel the same
Talk is cheap
So we could talk all night long
And we may never figure out just where your love went wrong
'Cause I don't want to be standing here
Don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane
The old folks say
Love is not forever anymore
Because these young people walk away from love alone
To pace the floor
Young or old
I say that love is still the same
You may walk away from love but you'll fall head and heel again
'Cause I don't want to be standing here
Don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane
Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing
Neither cares where that other heart is going
But, if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane
That frown you're wearing's
Just your halo turned upside down
Where is the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found?
These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground
You can have this ticket for that lonely plane that's flying out
'Cause I don't want to be standing here
Don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

and multiple other artists
Sale loco de contento
Con su cargamento para la ciudad
Lleva en su pensamiento
Todo un mundo lleno de felicidad
Piensa remediar la situación
Del hogar que es toda su ilusión
Y alegre el jibarito va cantando así
Diciendo así, pensando así por el camino
Si yo vendo mi carga mi Dios querido
Un traje a mi viejito le voy a comprar
Y alegre también su yegua va
Al presentir que aquel cantar
Es todo un himno de alegría
En esto le sorprende la luz del día
Y llegan al mercado de la ciudad
Piensa remediar la situación
Del hogar que es toda su ilusión

Tua Moglie
Tua Moglie
((French Version: Ta Femme (Dalida) - 1974))
Composer(s): Pascal Sevran - S. Lebrail - Pascal Auriat - Arnaldi
Performer(s): Dalida
Son già le otto e devi andare
Anche stavolta tarderai
Aggiusta il nodo alla cravatta
C'è un moi capello sulla giacca
Son sempre qui quando mi vuoi
Non far quell'aria triste dai
Potrebbe anche farne un dramma
Tua moglie
Lei in cucina e tu di là
Sedato in faccia alla TV
Dopo sei anni spesi in due
Tu la sopporti e lei ci stà
Non far vedere che sei giù
Porta ogni tanto qualche fior
Anche se a volte lei ti pesa
Tua moglie
Accanto a me vieni a cercar
Una rivalsa ai tuoi tabù
Ma non appena sei nei guai
E solo a lei che lo dirai
Questo legame di ogni di
E un'altra forma dell'amor
Non dirmi che non conta niente
Tua moglie
D'accordo non lo ammeetti mai
Ma quanti pregindizi hai
Appena via dalle mie braccia
Ritorni il piccolo borghese
Per ritrovar fiducia in te
Non è che in fondo non va
Vederla arrendersi in silenzio
Tua moglie
Tu vieni qui per soddisfar
Il tuo amor proprio il tuo piacere
Io invece mi accontenterei
D'esser la madre dei figli tuoi
Se c'è chi invidia il posto moi
E lei che dorme accanto a te
A questo punto io mi domando
Se non è meglio ch'io ti renda
A tua moglie

I Wants To Be The Leadin' Lady
I Wants To Be The Leadin' Lady
Composer(s): George Totten Smith; George Fairman
Miss Arabella Snow, upon the stage would go, a man engaged her
'cause she was good looking, at fifteen dollars "per"
said she "Excuse me sir, for leading roles of course with you I'm booking"
"The leading lady, eh?" said he "well in this play
you'll lead the march and say, the coach is waiting"
to Arabella Snow, it was an awful blow but she replied with smile most captivating
She quickly won his heart, and got the leading part
to star her in the piece was his intention, until one day he met
a frolic-some soubrette, and straight away he paid her marked attention
he gave her every song, he made her parts so strong
that Arabella's part was just a "feeder," then Arabella Snow said
"That soubrette must go we've got one leading lady so don't need her"
I wants to be the leading lady, I wants to play the real star parts
make no mistake man, I knows how to act if you give me a chance
you will see it's a fact, I'll make Bernhardt look like thirty cents
I wants to be the leading lady, I don't want no thinking part that's shady
I've got to have all the comedy lines
and the center of the stage where the calcium shines
I wants to be the leading lady"

El Jardín Tranquilo
Performer(s): Santiago Feliú
El jardín tranquilo
el hogar ya esta frío
ya no hay nadie en casa
tengo que empezar
y ya ves, solo y sin ti
El rumor del viento
se llevó tu silencio
solo queda el eco
triste de tu voz
y ya ves, solo y sin ti
Yo no se qué será sin ti mi vida vacía
un invierno más largo, más gris
Buscaré la estrella
que brillaba en tus ojos
le daré mi mano
y le pediré que su luz
me lleve a ti
