Kneel Down

Kneel Down
Composer(s): Carlton Haney
Performer(s): Don Reno & Red Smiley;
Ronnie Reno

Kneel down, kneel down at the foot of the Cross
And ask forgiveness that you may not be lost
Jesus will forgive you of your every sin
And you can go to Heaven, my brother
When He comes again

All of you sinners who live a sinful way
And go on a-living in sin every day
Jesus will guide you, if you'll let him in
And you can go to Heaven, my brother
When He comes again

Kneel down, kneel down at the foot of the Cross
And ask forgiveness that you may not be lost
Jesus will forgive you of your every sin
And you can go to Heaven, my brother
When He comes again

All you merry-makers who live the wicked way
And turn your backs on Jesus and His church every day
Jesus is calling, won't you let him in
And you can go to Heaven, my brother
When He comes again

Twee Meisjes

Twee Meisjes
Composer(s): Raymond Van Het Groenewoud
Performer(s): Raymond Van Het Groenewoud

Twee meisjes op het strand
Ze lezen modebladen
Ze kijken in het rond
Ze dromen van een prins

Twee meisjes op het strand
Ze lezen modebladen
Ze kijken in het rond
Ze dromen van een prins

Ze zoeken in hun tas
Ze wijzen naar de foto's
Ze schudden met hun haar
Ze praten met een vriend

Twee meisjes op een plank
Gedragen door de golven
Het branden van de zon
De wijzers houden op

De dag brengt ouderdom
De nacht brengt vreemde uren
Het deken is zo zwaar
Een bladzijde slaat om

I Wonder If I Care As Much

I Wonder If I Care As Much
Composer(s): Don Everly; Phil Everly
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
and multiple other artists

I wonder if I care as much
As I did before

Last night I cried myself to sleep
For the one that makes me weep
I dried my eyes to greet the day
And wondered why I had to pay

The tears that I have shed by day
Give relief and wash away
The memory of the night before
I wonder if I'll suffer more

I wonder if I care as much
As I did before

My pride is made to say "Forgive"
And take the blame for what you did
It's your mistake I'm thinking of
I wonder if I'm still in love

My heart can't thrive on misery
My life, it has no destiny
When things get more than I can bear
I ask myself
Do I still care?

I wonder if I care as much
As I did before ...

I wonder if I care as much
As I did before

Knees Of My Heart

Knees Of My Heart
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett;
Will Jennings; Michael Utley
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Chuck St. Troy

I've got a question for you
Please grant me an interview
Don't want to read it in a magazine
Don't want to see it on the silver screen
Don't let the craziness tear us apart

I'm down on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart

This comes from deep in my soul
Your sweet love has taken control
I'll swim across the ocean if you tell me so
I'll take you to the jump up if you want to go
It never is too late to make a brand new start

I'm down here on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart

Oh how I will sing if you give me everything
I live for the day when there's nothing in our way

I will be waiting tonight
You'll find my boat by the light
I'm gonna show you what my love can do
Out on the ocean all alone with you
We'll find a desert island on an ancient chart

Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart

'Twas Teatime At The Circus

'Twas Teatime At The Circus
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Gary Brooker - Matthew Fisher - E.Y. Harburg - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum

'T was tea-time at the circus: King Jimi, he was there
Through hoops he skipped, high wires he tripped
And all the while the glare of the aching, baking spotlight beat down upon his cloak
And though the crowd clapped furiously they could not see the joke

'T was tea-time at the circus, though some might not agree
As jugglers danced, and horses pranced and clowns clowned endlessly
But trunk to tail the elephants quite silent, never spoke
And though the crowd clapped desperately they could not see the joke

I Wonder How The Old Folks Are At Home

I Wonder How The Old Folks Are At Home
Composer(s): A.P. Carter; M. Christian
Performer(s): Osborne Brothers
and multiple other artists

Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
I wonder if they miss me while I roam
I wonder if they pray for the boy who went away
And left his dear old parents all alone

Now you can hear the cattle lowin' in the lane
You cant see the fields of bluegrass where I roam
You can almost hear them cry as they kiss their boy goodbye
I wonder how the old folks are at home

Just a village and a homestead on the farm
And a mother's love to shield you from all harm
A mother's love so dear and a sweetheart brave and true
Just a village and a homestead on the farm

Knees Up Mother Brown

Knees Up Mother Brown
Traditional Party Song

Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Under the table you must go
Ee-aye, Ee-aye, Ee-aye-oh
If I catch you bending
I'll saw your legs right off
Knees up, knees up
Never get the breeze up
Knees up Mother Brown

Oh my, what a rotten song
What a rotten song
What a rotten song
Oh my, what a rotten song
And what a rotten singer
Too-oo-ooh

----------

Alternative Version:

There came a girl from France
Who didn't know how to dance
The only thing that she could do
Was knees up Mother Brown

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up
Knees up Mother Brown

Oh, hopping on one foot
Hopping on one foot
Hopping, hopping, never stopping
Hopping on one foot

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up
Knees up Mother Brown

Oh, prancing up and down
Prancing up and down
Prancing, prancing, never dancing
Prancing up and down

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up
Knees up Mother Brown

And whirling round and round
Whirling round and round
Whirling, whirling, never twirling
Whirling round and round

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up
Knees up Mother Brown

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up
Knees up Mother Brown

Två Tungor

Två Tungor
Composer(s): Finn Kalvik - Fred Åkerström
Performer(s): Fred Åkerström; Sofia Karlsson

Två tungor har mitt hjärta
Två viljor har mitt sinn
Jag älskar dig för evigt
och jag blir aldrig din

Djupt i det röda mörkret
fick livet dubbel form
Där kuttrar det en duva
Där väser det en orm

Två tungor har mitt hjärta
Hör på det likaväl
Bli hos mig och gå från mig
och fräls mig från mig själv

Djupt i röda mörket
fick livet dubbel form
Där kurrar det en duva
Där väser det en orm

Två tungor har mitt hjärta
Två viljor har mitt sinn
Jag älskar dig för evigt
och jag blir aldrig din

I Wonder (John Entwistle)

I Wonder
Composer(s): John Entwistle
Performer(s): John Entwistle

I wonder what would happen if my dog could talk
Would he look me in the eye and say take me for a walk
When I gave him his dinner would he shake his head
And say take it away I want caviar instead?

Thank you Mother Nature
For the way you got things planned
Don't ever change a thing, I'm happy as I am
Imagine living in a place where the sea was red
And your legs were in the position now occupied by your head
Imagine living in a place where black was white
And white was black, even the night

I wonder what would happen if my fish could fly
Would it leap from its tank and hit the cat in the eye
Out through the window and into the sky
I'm so glad that sharks can't fly

Thank you Mother Nature
For the way you got things planned
Don't ever change a thing, I'm happy as I am
Imagine living in a place where the sea was red
And your legs were in the position now occupied by your head
Imagine living in a place where black was white
And white was black, even the night

I wonder what would happen if the moon fell down
Would it leave a white circle
Where they painted around
I wonder what would happen if the sun went out

TV Screen

TV Screen
Composer(s): Goran Bregovic - Iggy Pop
Performer(s): Iggy Pop

Find a beautiful old street
Not rushing through this time
In a bar where a fat lady reigns supreme
Come in and drink with a false name
In circus clothes forget their pain
They are the zombie bodies
Caught in the glow of the TV screen
Just forget it?

Forget it all
The TV screen
TV screen makes you feel small
No life at all

Now that you have turned it off
It's harder than you thought
No one wants to give a damn
Or even hear a thought
They rush from one fad to the next
You talk and it has no effect
You are the target for stars
And the planets on the TV screen
Just forget it?

Forget it all
The TV screen
TV screen makes you feel small
No life at all

I Wonder (Dickie Valentine)

I Wonder
Composer(s): Samuel M. Lewis; George W. Meyer; Pete Wendling
Performer(s): Dickie Valentine

I wonder who paints the skies so blue
Who makes the snow flakes white
Who wakes the sun up every day
And lights the stars at night

Who perfumes all the roses
Early in the spring
And tells each little robin
Just what melody to sing

I wonder how each mother knows
What baby tries to say
Why little children learn to walk
And someday walk away

I wonder why the rainbow
Follows rain and thunder
I wish that I could tell you why
But I can only wonder

Knight In Rusty Armour

Knight In Rusty Armour
Composer(s): Mike Leander; Charlie Mills
Performer(s): Peter & Gordon

Long ago in days of old
There lived a knight who
Wasn't quite as bold
As a knight should be

He rode an old grey mare called Bess
Searchin' for a damsel in distress
Just to see if he
Could set her free

See the knight in rusty armour ride
To her aid
Trusty sword is hanging at his side
With a rusty blade

Up the tower steps he sneaked
But as he moved
His rusty armour squeaked
Such a mournful note

And all the sentries at their posts
Thought it must have been the castle ghost
They jumped for their lives
In the moat

So the knight in rusty armour won
His fair maid
Had no need to draw his trusty sword
With a rusty blade

As he bent to kiss his bride
He found that he was
Rusted up inside
In his battle dress
And I can't guess

How they still got married
And had twins
They came in tins
Every suit of armour ever made
Has a kink
Chain mail pants with a missing link

Well I laid down last night
And I turned my TV on
You know I laid down last night
I turned my TV on
You know she's a good old box people
But I believe my tube is blown

Well my baby she was cryin'
Want me to get my TV fixed
Ohuuu she was cryin'
Wanna get my TV fixed
She said our TV needs service
And she needs it mighty quick

By the way now

Well I called the TV doctor
He came over right away
He said to see what he can do
He'd have to haul my tube away
I told no Damn well I'll never do
Man if you don't get the picture
I'm gonna do some work on you

Work a while go ahead now
(get the picture right?)

Got my TV working
My old tube is like brand new
And now I got my TV workin'
My old tube is like brand new
Yes come over baby
And I show my tube to you
haha
How do you like my tube?

I Wonder (Departure)

I Wonder (Departure)
French Title: Imagine-Moi - 1983
Composer(s): Stig Erik Leopold Anderson; Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
First release by: ABBA - 1977

This park and these houses, old streets I have walked
Everything dear, will it be here
One day when I am returning?
My friends will get married, have children and homes
It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise
Never expecting surprises

I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don't leave it
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes I will take it, it can't go wrong

My friends and my family, this dull little town
Buses I've missed, boys that I've kissed
Everything old and familiar

I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don't leave it
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes I will take it...
Yes I will take it, it can't go wrong

Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Knight of the Woeful Countenance!
Wherever you go
People will know
Of the glorious deeds
Of the Knight of the Woeful Countenance!

Farewell and good cheer
Oh my brave cavalier
Ride onward to glorious strife
I swear when you're gone
I'll remember you well
For all of the rest of my life

Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Fare to the foe
They will quail at the sight
Of the Knight of the Woeful Countenance!
Oh valorous Knight
Go and fight for the right
And battle all villains that be
But oh, when you do
What will happen to you
Thank God I won't be there to see!

Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Knight of the Woeful Countenance!
Wherever you go

TV Is The Thing This Year

TV Is The Thing This Year
Composer(s): William Sanford - Philip E. Medley
Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Lee Aaron; Dianne Reeves

Well if you wanna have fun come home with me
You can stay all night and play with my TV

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

Last night I was watchin' old Tom Mix
My TV broke and I was in a fix
Got on the phone an' called my man, I said
"Get here, Daddy, as fast as you can"

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

He turned my dial to channel one
I knew that this was gonna be fun
Turned right up to channel two
That station thrilled me through and through
Moved one notch to channel three
I said how I love what you're doin' to me

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

He moved on up to channel four
Just about the time someone knocked on the door
And the way he eased into channel five
I swear that man had fluid drive

Moved one notch to channel six
Opened up his little bag o' tricks
On channel seven, the show was late
But we still got our kicks on channel eight

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

He grooved on up to channel nine
Said, "Sweet baby, are you satisfied?"
Turned it up to channel ten
And then, we did it, all over again
He finally hit, on channel eleven
I cried, "More, more", you treat your Daddy good

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

Roane County Prison

Roane County Prison
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Bill Monroe
and multiple other artists

In the beautiful hills, way back in Roane County
There's where I roamed for many long years
There's where my heart's been tending most ever
That's where the first step of misfortune I made

I was about thirty years when I courted and married
Amanda Gilbraith was then called my wife
Her brother stabbed me for some unknown reason
Just three months later I'd taken Tom's life

For twenty five years this whole world I rambled
I went to old England, to France and to Spain
But I thought of my home way back in Roane County
I boarded a steamer and came back again

I was captured and tried in the village of Kingston
Not a man in the county would speak one kind word
When the jury came in with the verdict next morning
A lifetime in prison was the words that I heard

When the train pulled out poor mother stood weepin'
And sister she sat alone with a sigh
And the last words I heard was "Willie, God bless you"
Was "Willie, God bless you, God bless you, good bye"

In the scorching hot sand of the foundry I'm workin'
Toiling and working my poor life away
They'll measure my grave on the banks of old Cumberland
Just as soon as I finish the rest of my days

Sweet Martha was grave but Corey was better
There's better and worse, although you can see
Boys when you write home from the prison in Nashville
Place one of my songs in your letter for me
