Even If It's True
Even If It's True
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier
Performer(s): Ferlin Husky
I refuse to hear the things they say about you
I won't let my eyes behold the things you do
I don't want to see or hear the things they whisper even if it's true
Even if it's true that you've been seen with someone new
Nothing in this world could turn my love away from you
All the talk could never make me be ashamed of you even if it's true
Even if it's true...

Deportees
Deportees
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie - Martin Hoffman
Performer(s): Cisco Houston - 1961
and multiple other artists
The crops are all in and the peaches are rott'ning
The oranges piled in their creosote dumps
They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
To pay all their money to wade back again
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be "deportees"
My father's own father, he waded that river
They took all the money he made in his life
My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees
And they rode the truck till they took down and died
Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted
Our work contract's out and we have to move on
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves
We died in your hills, we died in your deserts
We died in your valleys and died on your plains
We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes
Both sides of the river, we died just the same
The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon
A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills
Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says, "They are just deportees"
Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil
And be called by no name except "deportees"?

I Can Tell (Lefty Frizzell)
I Can Tell
Composer(s): Lefty Frizzell - Abe Mulkey
Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell
I can tell by the sun the time of the day
I can tell by the moon when you go away
But I can tell when I'm holding you there must be someone new
There's a love another love I can tell I'm losing you
I can tell by the moon why you come back each time
If I could reach the stars I'd know your love was never mine
But I can tell by your kisses that it won't be very long
That you'll break my heart again I can feel it coming on
I can tell right from wrong I can tell night from day
When you're on my mind when you're away
But I can tell when I'm holding you there's no love in your heart
And it won't be very long that once again we'll be apart
I can tell by the sun the time of the day
I can tell by the moon just when you just go away
But I can tell by your kisses there must be someone new
There's a love another love for I feel I'm losing you
But I can tell by your kisses that it won't be very long
That you'll break my heart again I can feel it coming on...

Départ Express
Départ Express
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Pierre Roche
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche
Un jour de mai ou l'ennui me pesait
Pour vivre ma vie laissant ce qui m'oppresse
J'ai tout quitter sans chagrin sans regret
Puisque les voyages forment la jeunesse
Aux gens curieux j'ai répondu
Destination inconnue
J'ai pris le premier train
Qui partait le matin
Par hasard dans le train
Y'avait une fille très bien
Comme le destin veille sur moi gentiment
Elle était justement dans mon compartiment
Le train en roulant faisait un vacarme infernal
Sur la banquette en bois on était plutôt mal
Et quand j'ai pris sa main, parlant avec douceur
Plus vite que le train allaient mes battements de coeur
D'un ton charmant un peu moqueur
En un instant j'ai pris son coeur
Puis proposai fort galamment
Venez avec moi au wagon-restaurant
Sous le premier tunnel très fort je l'ai serrée
Sous le second tunnel un baiser fut volé
Puis nous sommes descendus dans une gare inconnue
Pour cacher notre amour dans un petit coin perdu
Chose bizarre
Un matin par hasard
Elle avait dû se lever du mauvais pied
Elle m'a dit: - pars! - Moi d'un seul
Coup d'un seul
J'ai bondi du lit, je me suis habillé
J'ai lui quitté, j'ai tout perdu
Destination inconnue
J'ai pris le premier train qui partait le matin
J'avais envie de pleurer je ne me sentais pas bien
Comme le destin veille sur moi gentiment
Elle était revenue dans mon compartiment
Le train en roulant faisait un vacarme infernal
Sur la banquette en bois on était plutôt mal
Et quand elle prit ma main pour se faire pardonner
Tout contre mon épaule elle s'est appuyée
J'étais si bien, je ne disais rien
Intéressé me laissant griser
Je l'écoutais
Et je goûtais
Les mots très doux que tout bas elle disait
Sous le premier tunnel très fort je l'ai serrée
Sous le second tunnel un baiser fut volé
Puis nous sommes descendus dans une gare inconnue
Pour cacher notre amour dans un petit coin perdu
Depuis ce jour nous ne nous sommes jamais quittés
Elle devint si gentille qu'elle a su me garder

The King Is Coming
The King Is Coming
Composer(s): Bill Gaither - Gloria Gaither
Performer(s): Ray Boltz
and multiple other artists
The marketplace is empty
No more traffic in the streets
All the builders' tools are silent
No more time to harvest wheat
Busy housewives cease their labors
In the courtroom no debate
Work on earth is all suspended
As the King comes thro' the gate
O the King is coming
The King is coming!
I just heard the trumpets sounding
And now His face I see
O the King is coming
The King is coming!
Praise God, He's coming for me!
Happy faces line the hallways
Those whose lives have been redeemed
Broken homes that He has mended
Those from prison He has freed
Little children and the aged
Hand in hand stand all aglow
Who were crippled, broken, ruined
Clad in garments white as snow
O the King is coming
The King is coming!
I just heard the trumpets sounding
And now His face I see
O the King is coming
The King is coming!
Praise God, He's coming for me!
I can hear the chariots rumble
I can see the marching throng
The flurry of God's trumpets
Spells the end of sin and wrong
Regal robes are now unfolding
Heaven's grandstand's all in place
Heaven's choir now assembled
Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"
O the King is coming
The King is coming!
I just heard the trumpets sounding
And now His face I see
O the King is coming
The King is coming!
Praise God, He's coming for me!

All I Need Is You (Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton)
All I Need Is You
Composer(s): Webb Pierce
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
and multiple other artists
Find the loneliest girl in a thousand
Find the saddest eyes you've ever seen
Find someone who's always longing for you
Find that man and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you
To give my loving to all I need is you
Find a man who wakes up every morning
And lives in a world of make believe
Find someone who's arms are aching for you
You find that girl and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you
To give my loving to all I need is you
You're with me now so let the world forsake us
I've found my heaven here within your arms
And nothing in this world can separate us
You're all I ever wanted all along
And all I need is you all I want is you
To give my loving to all I need is you

Dentro
Dentro
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
A veces recuerdo tu imagen
desnuda en la noche vacía
tu cuerpo sin peso se abre
y abrazo mi propia mentira
Así me reanuda la sangre
tensando la carne dormida
mis dedos aprietan, amantes
un hondo compás de caricias
Dentro
me quemo por ti
me vierto sin ti
y nace un muerto
Mi mano ahuyentó soledades
tomando tu forma precisa
la piel que te hice en el aire
recibe un temblor de semilla
Un quieto cansancio me esparce
tu imagen se borra en seguida
me llena una ausencia de hambre
y un dulce calor de saliva
Dentro...

Touch Of Yesterday
Touch Of Yesterday
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens
Performer(s): Ferlin Husky
and multiple other artists
I'd beg and steal if I could feel a touch of yesterday
Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday
The rain's been falling since he's been gone
It's gonna rain until he come back home
The hurt would leave if I could brieve a touch of yesterday
(A touch of yesterday)
The rain's been falling...
Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday

Dentist
Dentist
Composer(s): Alan Menken - Howard Ashman
Performer(s): Steve Martin & Bill Murray
When I was young and just a bad little kid
My momma noticed funny things I did
Like shootin' puppies with a BB-Gun
I'd poison guppies, and when I was done
I'd find a pussy-cat and bash in its head
That's when my momma said...
(What did she say?)
She said my boy I think someday
You'll find a way
To make your natural tendencies pay...
You'll be a dentist
You have a talent for causing things pain!
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane!
You're temperment's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success
"Here he is folks, the leader of the plaque"
"Watch him suck up that gas
Oh My God!"
"He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good"
"Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis DeSade?"
"Oh, that hurts! Wait! I'm not numb!"
"Eh, Shut Up! Open Wide! Here I Come!"
I am your dentist
And I enjoy the career that I picked
I'm your dentist
And I get off on the pain I inflict!
When I start extracting those mollars
Girls, you'll be screaming like holy rollers
And though it may cause my patients distress
Somewhere...Somewhere in heaven above me...
I know...I know that my momma's proud of me
"Oh, Momma..."
'Cause I'm a dentist...
And a success!
"Say ahh..."
"Say Ahhhh..."
"Say Aaarrrhhhh!!!"
"Now Spit!"

I Threw Away The Rose
I Threw Away The Rose
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Once I lived the life of wine and roses
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

Dennis The Menace
Dennis The Menace
Composer(s): Al Hoffman - Dick Manning
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Jimmy Boyd
Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite
Oh, the things he says and the things he does
Will make you shake with fright
(Beware of) Dennis the menace
Oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes
His mom and dad get nervous
Whenever he's too quiet
They never know what will happen next
A cyclone, flood or rot
Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray
When he looks at you with those eyes of blue
He'll steal your heart away
Last night I got a spanking
I don't know what to think
'Cause all I did was fill my water pistol full of ink
Now I ask you did mommy have to yell at me like that
Just because I watered all those flowers on her hat
My daddy love to ride in planes
'Way high up in the sky
He didn't see my roller skates
And oh boy, did he fly
We were playing train with daddy's chair
Me and another kid
My daddy said, "now, break it up"
So that's just what we did
Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite
Oh, the things he says and the things he does
Will make you shake with fright
(Beware of) Dennis the menace
Oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes
His mom and dad get nervous
Whenever he's too quiet
They never know what will happen next
A cyclone, flood or rot
Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray
When he looks at you with those eyes of blue
He'll steal your heart away

Woman Let Me Sing You A Song
Woman Let Me Sing You A Song
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell; Waylon Jennings; Vernon Oxford
Woman let me sing you a song
Woman let me sing you a song
That tells how you've done me wrong
So it's your fault if it's long
Woman let me sing you a song
The neighbors say I run around
The neighbors say I run around
But baby if I do I'm miles back off you
Woman let me sing you a song
My banker count is almost gone
My banker count is almost gone
You're wearing furs and rings while I wear old blue jeans
Woman let me sing you a song
You tell your friends I drink too much
Now the whole town knows I drink too much
But the reason why I drink is the thought you make me think
Woman let me sing you a song
I'm leaving and you think I'll be back
I'm leaving but you think I'll be back
Here's my advice to you
Don't stop breathing till I do
Woman let me sing you a song
Woman I done sang you my song
Woman I done sang you my song

Funny (But I'm Not Laughing)
Funny (But I'm Not Laughing)
Composer(s): Mickey Jaco
Performer(s): Conway Twitty
Well I just saw you out with another
And I watched as you held his hand
It seems funny to see you with him instead of me
Funny but I'm not laughing
Then I heard you say it's all over
That you never loved me anyway
That the things we have done were only in fun
Funny but I'm not laughing
Then I turned away so my eyes couldn't see
His arms were around you where mine used to be
You would have laughed if you'd had only seen me
Yes I guess I was a funny sight to see
Standing there on the street with my heart at my feet
Funny but I'm not laughing
Funny but I'm not laughing

Denn Wie Man Sich Bettet
Denn Wie Man Sich Bettet
Composer(s): Bertolt Brecht - Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Lotte Lenya
Meine Herren, meine Mutter prägte
Auf mich einst ein schlimmes Wort
Ich würde enden im Schauhaus
Oder an einem noch schlimmern Ort
Ja, so ein Wort, das ist leicht gesagt
Aber ich sage euch: Daraus wird nichts!
Das könnt ihr nicht machen mit mir!
Was aus mir noch wird, das werdet ihr schon sehen!
Ein Mensch ist kein Tier!
Denn wie man sich bettet, so liegt man
Es deckt einen da keiner zu
Und wenn einer tritt, dann bin ich es
Und wird einer getreten, dann bist’s du
Meine Herren, mein Freund, der sagte
Mir damals ins Gesicht
"Das Größte auf Erden ist Liebe"
Und "An morgen denkt man da nicht"
Ja, Liebe, das ist leicht gesagt
Aber wenn man täglich älter wird
Da wird nicht nach Liebe gefragt
Da muß man seine kurze Zeit benützen
Ein Mensch ist kein Tier!
Denn wie man sich bettet, so liegt man ...

Sorry My Name Isn't Fred
Sorry My Name Isn't Fred
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Bobby Helms
My heart should be light as a feather
For just yesterday we were wed
But why on our first night together
Did you call me your darling Fred
Sorry my name isn't Fred
How I wish I could be him insted
For that one word told me where your heart longs to be
I'm sorry my name isn't Fred
When you said I do at the altar
I thought I heard love in your voice
But I guess it was love for another
And I'm just for second choice
Sorry my name isn't Fred...

Denmark Street
Denmark Street
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks
Down the way from the tottenham court road
Just round the corner from old soho
There's a place where the publishers go
If you don't know which way to go
Just open your ears and follow your nose
'cos the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes
You can hear that music play anytime on any day
Every rhythm, every way
You got to a publisher and play him your song
He says 'I hate your music and you hair is too long
But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong'
You've got a tune it's in your head you want to get it placed
So you take it up to a music man just to see what he will say
He says 'I hate the tune, I hate the words but I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll sign you up and take it round the street and see if it makes the grade'
And you might even hear it played on the rock 'n' roll hit parade
Daytime, night time, every week you can hear that heavy beat
Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet
Daytime, night time, every day you can hear that music play
