When My Little Girl Is Smiling
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): The Drifters
Ev'ry time my baby and I have a quarrel
I swear I won't give in
Then my baby starts to smile at me
and I know, I know I just can't win
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
There's nothing more I can say
I see those big bright eyes
and then I realize
that girl is gonna get her way
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
I can't stay mad at her for long
Why should I want to fight
when I can hold her tight?
I just don't care who's right or wrong
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
it's the greatest thrill there can be
She gets her way it's true
but I know I won't be blue
as long as she just smiles for me

She's trying to put my body in her brain
So just kiss me goodbye, just to ease the pain

Performer(s): John Lee Hooker; R.L. Burnside
When my first wife left me, she left my heart in misery

If I can get her back again, I'll never roam no more
If I get her back again, boys, I never roam no more
I had a good wife, but I did not treat her right
It's my fault, only have myself to blame
It's my fault, it's my fault boys, I only have myself to blame
She would have been home right now, if I hadn't wanted every woman that I seen
I found out one thing, these women don't mean you no good
I found out one thing people, these women don't mean you no good
You mistreated a good girl for some woman, that she'd turn around and turn her back on you
Yes, yeah

When she was at home, Lord, I did not treat her right

Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone
Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone
Composer(s): Cornelius Grant - Sylvia Moy - Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): Dusty Springfield
and multiple other artists
Into my life
You brought a glowing love
Like a ray of sunshine
From up above
One day out of a clear blue sky
You darkened my life with your words "goodbye"
That's the day you left me for a stranger
Don't you know that when you left my life
Took on a change-a?
Now I'm telling you it
Ain't no sun since you've been gone
There's a big black cloud hanging over my head
Cloud of loneliness I feel like I'm dead
Ain't no flowers blooming round here for sure
Since you chose to love me no more
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, boy
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby
And it ain't no sun since you've been gone
Oh, my future, my future
Was as bright as the sun, yes it was
I ain't got no future since you've been gone
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, yes you did
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby
It seems like night in the middle of the day
Everything around me is faded and grey
Cold are the days
Dark creeps the night
Never bringing you back into my life
It ain't no sun since you've been gone
You took my sunshine away, yeah ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, yes you did, ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, oh

When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again
When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again
Composer(s): Gene Sullivan; Wayne Walker
Performer(s): Merle Haggard
When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back in my arms to stay
Memories that linger in my heart
Memories that make my heart grow cold
But someday they'll live again, sweetheart
And my blue moon again will turn to gold
The lips that used to thrill me so
Your kisses were meant for only me
In my dreams they live again, sweetheart
But my blue moon is just a memory
The castles we used to build together
Were the sweetest stories ever told
Maybe we will live them all again
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

Composer(s): Jerry Cohen - Gene McFadden - John Whitehead
Performer(s): McFadden & Whitehead
and multiple other artists
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
There's been so many things that held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin' around
I know we've got, a long long way to go
and where we'll end up, I don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
we're putting our selves together
we're polishing up our act!
If you felt we've been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!
I want ya'll to listen, listen

We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
I know you know someone that has a negative vibe
and if you're trying to make it they only push you aside
They really don't have, nowhere to go
Ask them where they're going, they don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
we're gonna put our selves together
we're gonna polish up our act!
And if you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!
I want ya'll to listen, listen
to every word I say, every word I say!

We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!

When My Baby Smiles
When My Baby Smiles
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
I don't care if the weather's fair or if skies are gray
I don't frown when the rain comes down on a rainy day
It may storm and thunder for the longest while
Still I'll say it's a lovely day
When I see my baby smile
I don't brood when the price of food goes away up high
Didn't mind when I woke to find, that the town went dry
Let the skies be cloudy for the longest while
Blue or gray, every things O.K.
When I see my baby smile
When my baby smiles at me
Oh what a beautiful day
All my troubles go hurrying by
Just like bubbles they fly to the sky
And I never ask the weather man
Whether it's fair or warmer
Rain or shine the weather's fine when my baby smiles

Ain't No Song
Ain't No Song
Composer(s): Joey Levine - David Spinozza
Performer(s): James Taylor
There ain't no melody
And I can't find a harmony
If there were a way to say it
You know I would have played it
Well, I'm a man of few words
Trying to find a rhyme
And finally it occurred to me
That I'm wasting my time
There ain't no rhyme or reason
Ain't no time or season
Ain't no way around it
I know I would have found it
There ain't no song in the whole wide world
Could hardly sing without you
There ain't no song in the whole wide world
To tell you the way that I feel
Painters use their eyes
To show us what they see
But when that canvas dries
We all see it differently
There ain't black or white
There ain't no day or night
There ain't no way around it
You know I would have found it
No, No, No, I might as well pack it on up
Not even this song's gonna tell you the way that I feel

When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba (To Do the Rock and Roll)
When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba
(To Do the Rock and Roll)
Composer(s): Gale Jones
Performer(s): Mitchell Torok
Down in Mexico, at each high noon
Siesta is the thing
You can find me sleepin' out in the shade
While the birds softly sing
But from the radio, there comes a U.S. show
And the disc-jockey's playin' the blues
Before they know what's happened
They're up and clappin'
To the tune of the blue suede shoes
One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll
In the middle of town, the pecker bullring stands
It reaches to the sky
Inside's a matador, he's got his sword in hand
And a bull is fixing to die
But from the phonograph, there comes a frantic sound
And the sword drops from his hands
The bull begins to dance, around in the dust
To the beat of a picker brass band
One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll
In the summertime, the tourists come
Expecting to see the scenes
Of the quiet places and the quiet faces
They read of in magazines
But in their amazement, when they find this craze
Is not in the U.S. alone
They used to dance `neath the stars to the Spanish guitars
But now they do it to a saxophone
One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll

Performer(s): Chas & Dave
Well I built my life around you, did what I thought was right
But you never cared about me, now I’ve seen the light

You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you
And you seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong
I should ‘ave known it all along
That darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you
You only ‘ad to say the word

You ‘ad me where you wanted me
But you went and blew it

You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?

You got another thing comin’, I’m tellin’ you that for nothin’
Coz darlin’ I’m leavin’
That’s what I’m gonna...do-oo-oo

When Love Is Young (Harry Woodruff)
When Love Is Young
Composer(s): Rida Johnson Young - M. Melville Ellis
Performer(s): Harry Woodruff
The beads on the wine in our glorious youth
And life's full of fervor and zest
And the world is made bright by the light of a smile
Or the sound of the voice we love best
There's a thrill of delight in the touch of her hand
All the Earth's bubbling over with joy
Oh! the love that we give to the girls that we love
When we're boys, boys, boys
There are various way that a fellow may love
And most of us sample them all
And the older and stronger you are when it strikes
The harder and deeper you fall
But there's no love on earth that holds half the thrill
No love that has half the joys
As love that we give to the girls that we love
When we're boys, boys, boys
When love is young in Springtime
And boys are youthful, too
And girls are so alluring
What can a fellow do?
A look, a smile, a dimple
You're caught, you're captured, stung
There's danger in the very air
When love is young

Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Composer(s): Nicholas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are, no matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend and never worry
(You see, my love is alive
It's like a seed that only needs the thought of you to grow
So if you feel the need for company, please, my darling, let it be me
I may not be able to express the depth of the love I feel for you
but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved
He sat down and wrote these words)
No wind, (No wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal
No wind, no rain
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me
And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (One more time)
Ain't no river wild enough (Say it again)
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

When Love Is Gone
When Love Is Gone
Composer(s): Michael Morgan; Steve Edward Nelson
Performer(s): Photoglo
When love is gone I always get the feeling
I can't go on, find myself dreamin' of things
That could've been and all the things we never say
Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone
Will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I'll remember you when love is gone
Everyone's in couples as I walk alone thinkin'
I'll never find another love
Never know the beauty of
Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone
Will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oohh-oh, I'll remember you, la-la-la....
When love is gone will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I'll remember you

Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One
Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Maria Muldaur; Jah Malla
When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile
It don't matter 'bout his position, it don't matter 'bout his lifestyle
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good
Some like to worship on the moon, others are worshipping the sun
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
Look around, ya see so many social hypocrites
Like to make rules for others while they do just the opposite
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag
In a city of darkness there's no need of the sun
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame
Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes
Keep a-talking, baby, 'til you run right out of alibis
Someday you'll account for all the deeds that you done
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one
God got the power, man has got his vanity
Man gotta choose before God can set him free
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one
When I'm gone don't wonder where I be
Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me
Say He defeated the devil, He was God's chosen Son
And that there ain't no man righteous, no not one

When Love Goes Wrong
When Love Goes Wrong
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Harold Adamson
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
This one thing I know
When love goes wrong
A man takes flight
And women get uppity-oh
The sun don't beam
The moon don't shine
The tide don't ebb and flow
A clock won't strike
A match won't light
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
The blues all gather round you
And day is dark as night
A man ain't fit to live with
And a woman's sorry sight
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes, nothing goes rjght
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
A man goes out, gets high as a kite
Love is something you just can't fight
You can't fight it, honey
You can't fight it
When love goes wrong, nothin'
No bows, honey, just cigat bars and off
Nothing goes right
Crazy, Crazy oui, oui
lt's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost its glow
So take this down in black and white
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
Nothing goes right
