When The Ship Comes In


When The Ship Comes In
Title in Czech: Az Se Má Lod Zpátky Vrátí
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): The Hollies;
and various other artists



Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be a breezin'
Like the stillness in the wind
For the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in

Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the shoreline sands will be shaken
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
And the morning will be breakin'

Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smilin'
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in

And the words they use
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they are spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And be buried at the bottom of the ocean

Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the shoreline sands will be shaken
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
And the morning will be breakin'

A song will lift as the main sail shifts
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour when the ship comes in
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
And the ships wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'

Ain't That Lonely Yet


Ain't That Lonely Yet
Composer(s): James House - Kostas Lazarides
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam; Kostas



You keep calling me
On the telephone
You say you're all alone
Well that's real sad
And you keep leavin'
Notes stuck on my door
Guess you're hungry for some more
Girl that's too bad

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

Once there was this
Spider in my bed
I got caught up in her web
Of love and lies
She put her chains around my heart and soul
Never to let go
Oh but I survived

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

Nothing left you can do to try and bring me back
Cuz everything you do
Just brings me down, oh yeah and I

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

When The Roses Bloom Again (Jeff Tweedy)


When The Roses Bloom Again
Composer(s): Will D. Cobb; Gus Edwards
Performer(s): Jeff Tweedy;
and various other artists



He was roaming in the gloaming where the roses were in bloom
A soldier, with his sweetheart, brave and true
And their hearts were filled with sorrow
for their thoughts were of tomorrow
As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue
"Do not ask me love to linger, for you know not what to say
Before duty calls your sweetheart's name again
But your heart need not be sighing; if I be among the dying
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again"

When the roses bloom again beside the river
And the mocking bird has sung her sweet refrain
In the days of Auld Lang Syne, I'll be with you sweetheart mine
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

In the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and low
From a soldier who had fallen in the fray
"I am dying, I am dying and I know that I must go
But I want to tell you before I pass away
There's a far and distant river where the roses are in bloom
And a sweetheart who is waitng there for me
It is there I pray you take me
I've been faithful, don't forsake me
I'll be with her when the roses bloom again"

When the roses bloom again

There was Adam, happy as a man could be
Till Eve got him messin' with that old apple tree
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Samson thought Delilah was on the square
Till one night she clipped him all his hair
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

From our history books we all learned
Nero fiddled while Rome was burned
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Marie Antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate
They was crying for bread, she said "Let them eat cake"
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

You can buy a woman clothes
And give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She ain't never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

When The Roses Bloom Again (Deanna Durbin)


When The Roses Bloom Again
Composer(s): Nat Burton; Walter Kent
Performer(s): Deanna Durbin;
and various other artists



Darling won’t you cheer up
Smile away your fears
When it’s least expected
A rainbow appears
This shadow all around us
Is a temporary thing
And after the winter comes spring

When the roses bloom again
And the fields feel the plough
We will meet again sweetheart
Somehow

When the birds take back the sky
And are miles, miles above
We’ll be free again to live and love

Till then, oh how I’ll miss you
The laughter and tears we used to share
Till then in dreams I’ll kiss you
And seal every dream with a prayer

When the roses bloom again
When the world starts anew
I’ll be waiting here, sweetheart, for you

When the roses bloom again
When the world starts anew
I’ll be waiting here, sweetheart, for you

When The Rain Tumbles Down In July


When The Rain Tumbles Down In July
Composer(s): Slim Dusty
Performer(s): Slim Dusty;
The Bushwackers; Graeme Connors



Let me wander north to the homestead
Way out further on there to roam,
By a gully in flood, let me linger
When the summery sunshine has flown

Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds
And clouds fill the old northern sky
And the cattle move back from the lowlands
When the rain tumbles down in July

The settlers with sad hearts are watching
The rise of the stream from the dawn,
Their best crops are always in flood reach
If it rises much more they'll be gone

The cattle string out along the fences
The wind from the south races by
And the limbs from the old gums have fallen
When the rain tumbles down in July

The sleeping gums on the hillside
Awaken to herds strayin' by
Here on the flats where the fences have vanished
As the storm clouds gather on high

The wheels of the wagons stop turning
The stock horse is turned out to stray
The old station dogs are a-dozin'
On the husks in the barn through the day

The drover draws rein by the river
And it's years since he's seen it so high
Yes, and that's just a story of homeward
When the rain tumbles down in July

A Lot Of Love


A Lot Of Love ((aka Ain't That A Lot Of Love (by Sam & Dave) - 1968))
Composer(s): Homer Banks, Deanie Parker
First release by: Homer Banks - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I know the desert could hold all the love that I feel in my heart for you
Just like the ocean that started to roll, my love it could be coming to you
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours, it wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better than indescribable
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the bees only knew how sweet you were, darling, they would shut up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is, they'd pack up and fly away
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

When The Rain Begins To Fall


When The Rain Begins To Fall
Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson



Like the sand can seep right through your fingers
so can all your days
As those days go by you'll have me there to help you find the way
The way I feel with you I know it's got to last forever
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

Time goes by so fast
You've got to have a dream
To just hold on
All my dreams of love began
With the reality of you
You and I believe
That all our dreams will last forever
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

Though the sun may hide
We still can see
The light that shines for you and me

We'll be together all that we can be
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

When The Old Oaken Bucket Was New


When The Old Oaken Bucket Was New
Composer(s): Joe Cooper; George J. Moriarty



Summer was blooming, old times were looming while I closed my eyes
Scenes I love dearly, came back so clearly under summer skies
Stars were a gleaming, I was just dreaming
Dreaming, dear of you
Back to the time when you became mine
Just a memory

Life was a pleasure each day a treasure, that I foundly praise
Thoughts of the morrow, never brought sorrow, in those good old days
Back to our childhood, back thro' the wild wood
My thoughts seem to fly
What can compare with those days so rare
Days that never die

When the old oaken bucket was new
That's the first time I made love to you
You turned your head, but you heard all I said
As we sat by the well just we two
We both vowed that our hearts love would flow
Just as long as the water below
Life is sweet yet, but I'll never forget
When the old oaken bucket was new

Ain't That A Bitch


Ain't That A Bitch
Composer(s): Desmond Child - Joe Perry - Steven Tyler
Performer(s): Aerosmith



Up in smoke you’ve lost another lover
As you take a hit off your last cigarette
Strung out, burnt out
Yeah you’re down on your luck
And you don’t give a ..
’til the best part of you starts to twitch
Ain’t that a bitch

Freak out! I’m alone now
I feel just like I’m losin’my mind
’cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you’re gonna find
You think you’re high and fine as wine
Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
’cause love is like a wrong turn
On a cold night ... yeah
Ain’t that a bitch

In a daze
In the throes of emotion
You see God in the devil’s eyes
Then you fall so far from grace
You wouldn’t know a kiss
If it was on your face
You can tell it to the jury
But you ain’t got no case

Freak out! I’m alone now
I feel just like I’m losin’my mind
’cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you’re gonna find
The gal was fine as calamine but not
Enough to scratch a seven year itch
’cause love is like the last licks
Outta Hendrix ... yeah
Ain’t that a bitch

Then you feel so out of place
Lickin’up the arsenic
From the same old lace
You know the stuff is poison
But you gotta have a taste

Freak out! I’m alone now
I feel just like I’m losin’ my mind
’cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you’re gonna find
You think you’re high and fine as wine
Then you wind up with your face in the ditch
’cause love is like a warm gun
On a cold night ... yeah
Ain’t that a bitch

I Lived So Fast And Hard


I Lived So Fast And Hard
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Mel Tillis



I was raised on cornbread and gravy
And I slept in a cardboard box till I was nearly three
I bathed myself in a muddy river runnin' by our shack
By the time that I had reached thirteen I'd been through hell and back

I've been thrown from pillar to post
I've been banged around and scarred
I've done so much I've seen so much
And I've lived so fast and hard

Mama died when I was young and I never knew my dad
I never had the lovin' care that other children had
I spent five years in an orphan's home, but I ran off one day
And I hoboed an old freight train to San Francisco Bay

I fought in the war, I've been in jail
There ain't much I ain't done
I'd lived as much as any man
Before I was twenty one

I've been thrown from pillar to post
I've been banged around and scarred
I've done so much I've seen so much
And I've lived so fast and hard

The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends
"Alive!" she cried
Waitin' for me
Outside!

Before I sink
Into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly

Come back, baby
Back into my arm
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground

I hear a very gentle sound
Very near yet very far

Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it...
We want the world and we want it...
Now
Now?
Now!

Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!

So when the music's over

Turn out the lights

Well the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend

Your Mother's Eyes


Your Mother's Eyes
Composer(s): Mel Tillis
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Mel Tillis



My children come sit here and hold to my hand
For I must tell you something that I don't understand
Lately we've been living in the shadows of surprise
For I'm not the only man in your Mother's eyes

I can't say it's my fault and I won't say it's hers
For I might have neglected when her need for me occured
But we're still a family and must realize
That I'm not the only man in your Mother's eyes

No, I'm not the only man in her eyes anymore
And soon she'll be leavin', walkin' out the door

And things won't be easy with her not around
And the shame that's now with us will be hard to live down
So children bear with me, promise Daddy you'll try
Since I'm not the only man in your Mother's eyes

So children bear with me, promise Daddy you'll try
Since I'm not the only man in your Momma's eyes

When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain


When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain
Composer(s): Howard Johnson; Harry Woods
Performer(s): Kate Smith;
and various other artists



All by myself at twilight
Watching the day depart
And with the fading twilight
Happiness fills my heart

When the moon comes over the mountain
Every beam brings a dream, Dear, of you
Once again we stroll neath the mountain
Through that rose-covered valley we knew

Each day is grey and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my mem'ries of you

Each day is grey and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my mem'ries of you
