Don't Cry Joe (Let Her Go, Let Her Go, Let Her Go)


Don't Cry Joe (Let Her Go, Let Her Go, Let Her Go) Composer(s): Joe Marsala Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists



Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

You got to realise this is the wind-up
You're gonna feel much better once you make your mind up
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

So you lost your gal, it's happened many times before
So you sit and mope like a dope, what's that good for
Get a hold of yourself, forget her, you lived long before you met her
There're lots of other girls, so I say
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Don't cry Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

You got to realise this is the wind-up
You'll feel much better once you make your mind up
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Take a look around and see just what you're missing
You'd soon forget your troubles if you'd only listen
So don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, Joe, let her go

Just turn your big brown eyes in her direction
You'll find the one that loves you has a real affection for you
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Listen to me, Joe
Let her go

Auprès De Ma Tombe


Auprès De Ma Tombe
Composer(s): Michel Sardou
Performer(s): Michel Sardou



Au soir de notre amour
Quand tu seras bien vieille
Et quand j'aurai aussi
Des rides autour des yeux
Je sais qu'au fond de moi
Au plus près de ma tombe
Je souffrirai du mal
De ne plus faire l'amour

Au soir de notre vie
Quand nous serons deux ombres
Et quand nos corps flétris
S'endormiront encore
Je sais qu'au fond de moi
Au plus près de ma tombe
Je souffrirai du mal
De te vouloir encore

Et quand, les mains croisées
Je serai seul et sombre
A compter les années
Que je n'ai pas dormi
Je sais qu'au fond de moi
Au plus près de ma tombe
Je souffrirai surtout
De ne plus être un homme...
Un homme

Don't Cry For Me Argentina


Don't Cry For Me Argentina
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Tim Rice
First release by: Julie Covington - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists


Versions In Other Languages:
1977 - La Chanson D'Evita (Petula Clark)
1977 - Non Pianger Più Argentina (Milva)
1996 - Non Piangere Per Me Argentina (Madonna)



It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Could'nt stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying ev'rything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more
I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me
To know that ev'ry word is true

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep my distance

Auprès De Ma Blonde


Auprès De Ma Blonde
(Traditional)



Au jardin de mon père
Les lauriers sont fleuris
Au jardin de mon père
Les lauriers sont fleuris
Tous les oiseaux du monde
Vont y faire leurs nids ...

Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon, fait bon, fait bon
Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon dormir!

La caille, la tourterelle
Et la jolie perdrix
La caille, la tourterelle
Et la jolie perdrix
Et la blanche colombe
Qui chante jour et nuit...

Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon, fait bon, fait bon
Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon dormir!

Elle chante pour les filles
Qui n'ont pas de mari
Elle chante pour les filles
Qui n'ont pas de mari
C'est pas pour moi qu'elle chante
Car Jean étai t un joli...

Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon, fait bon, fait bon
Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon dormir!

Il est dans la Hollande
Les Hollandais l'ont pris
Il est dans la Hollande
Les Hollandais l'ont pris
"Que donneriez-vous, belle
Pour voir votre mari? ... "

Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon, fait bon, fait bon
Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon dormir!

Je donnerais Versailles
Paris et Saint-Denis
Je donnerais Versailles
Paris et Saint-Denis
Le royaume de mon père
Celui de ma mère aussi ...

Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon, fait bon, fait bon
Auprès de ma blonde
Qu'il fait bon dormir!

Don't Cry Daddy


Don't Cry Daddy Composer(s): Mac Davis First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists



Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow still wet
From last night tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee-cup
Kept crying but
And ringing in my ears

Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry

Why are children always first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true, but somehow
It just don't seem right
'Cause ev'ry time I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight

Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Oh, daddy, please don't cry

Performer(s): George Formby
and multiple other artists



Now there’s all sorts of medicines that you can buy
No matter what ailment you’ve got
But I know a special one you ought to try
You’ll find it’s the best of the lot
It’s my Auntie Maggie’s home made remedy, it’s guaranteed never to fail
That’s the stuff that will do the trick
It’s sold at every chemist for "one and a kick"
Now if you’ve got lumbago, rheumatics or gout, or a pain in your Robert E. Lee
Don’t kick up a shindy, you’ll never get windy with Auntie Maggie’s Remedy

If you set your alarm clock for eight in the morning
You’re bound to wake up I’ll agree
But I’ll bet you by heaven, you’ll wake up at seven
With my Auntie Maggie’s Remedy

In a young lady’s bedroom I went by mistake
My intentions were honest you see
She shouted with laughter, "I know what you’re after
It’s my Auntie Maggie’s Remedy"

Oh my Auntie Maggie’s home made remedy, it’s guaranteed never to fail
That’s the stuff that will do the trick
It’s sold at every chemist for "one and a kick"
Now if you’ve got lumbago, rheumatics or gout, or a pain in your Robert E. Lee
Don’t kick up a shindy, you’ll never get windy with Auntie Maggie’s Remedy

Now when the baby starts crying, there’s always a reason
And if you inspect him you’ll see
The poor little chappy has covered his nappy
With Auntie Maggie’s Remedy

Now I went to a doctor, I wasn’t too well
And he made me lie on a settee
He said "There’s trouble brewing, you’ve been overdoing
Your Auntie Maggie’s Remedy"

Now I know a girl who was putting on weight
In a spot where it just shouldn’t be
So I said to Nellie, "Now you rub your (–Pause-)
Ankle, with Auntie Maggie’s Remedy"

Now one day at the races, the horse that I backed
Could have won it was easy to see
But the trainer said after, it would have run faster
With Auntie Maggie’s Remedy – inside it’s nosebag
With Auntie Maggie’s Remedy

Don't Cry Blue


Don't Cry Blue Composer(s): Malcolm McKinney Performer(s): Jonathan Edwards; The Lonesome River Band



I heard them engines runnin'
On the road away from home
Sound like thunder callin' out my name
Well I listened hard the first time
That I heard 'em roll along
I listened and I'd never been the same

Well, don't cry, cry, Blue
'Cause I'm comin' home to you
Well, I walked with you this mornin'
And I'll sleep with you tonight
Don't cry, cry, Blue

A highway's just a two lane road
Connecting either way
Oh, I've seen enough of this end for awhile
But I've got to go the distance
Till I know I've seen a change
I've got to know the feel of every mile

Well, don't cry, cry, Blue
'Cause I'm comin' home to you
Well, I walked with you this mornin'
And I'll sleep with you tonight
Don't cry, cry, Blue

Don't cry, cry, Blue
'Cause I'm comin' home to you
Well, I walked with you this mornin'
And I'll sleep with you tonight
Don't cry, cry, Blue

When my head is achin'
Full of everywhere I've been
Oh, I've turned my face around the other way
Well, I'll meet you at the mailbox
Read you all my cards
Tell you what I really meant to say

Well, don't cry, cry, Blue
'Cause I'm comin' home to you
Well, I walked with you this mornin'
And I'll sleep with you tonight
Don't cry, cry, Blue
Well, don't cry, cry, Blue, don't cry

Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman - Richard M. Sherman
Performer(s): Celeste Holm



Tom Sawyer
That irresponsible child
Tom goes off with Huck
Swimmin' in the nude

Tom hold wonders in his mind
But he just won't learn
And he just keep turnin' away

The devil's got him in tow
Raises Cain in school
If he'll ever go
Though he tries my poor heart so
Oh, Lord, please spare him
And, Lord, take care of
My Tom

Don't Cross The River


Don't Cross The River
Composer(s): Dan Peek
Performer(s): America; Garth Brooks



There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart

(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
All your life
You were on your own

If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide...

Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party


Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party (aka "When I Saw Sweet Nellie Home" and "I Was Seeing Nellie Home")
Composer(s): John Fletcher - Frances Kyle
Performer(s): Edison Male Quartette
and multiple other artists



In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight fell
Hush'd the sound of daylight bustle
Closed the pink eyed pimpernell
As adown the moss grown wood path
Where the cattle love to roam
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

When the autumn tinged the greenwood
Turning all its leaves to the gold
In the lawn by elders shaded
I my love to Nellie told
As we stood together gazing
On the star bespangled dome
How I blessed the august evening
When I saw sweet Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

White hairs mingled with my tresses
Furrows steal upon my brow
But a love smile cheers and blesses
Life's declining moments now
Matron in the snowy kerchief
Closer to my bosom come
Tell me do'st thou still remember
When I saw sweet Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn - Peggy Sue
First recording/First release by: Loretta Lynn - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Well you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
But liquor and love that just don't mix, leave a bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

You never take me anywhere because you're always gone
Many a night I've laid awake and cried dear all alone
And you come in a kissin' on, it happens every time
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

Aunque No Esté De Moda


Aunque No Esté De Moda
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Hoy de mi hacia ti, hoy de ti hacia mi
quiero hacerte un regalo viejo
Desempolvemos algo las pasiones lejanas
algo de aquellos sueños en ventanas
Vivamos de corrido, sin hacer poesía
aprendamos palabras de la vida

Desnudémonos pues como viejos amantes
que lo mismo de siempre nos quede delante
Desnudémonos pues como viejos amantes
que se apague la luz y que el sol se levante

Te quiero salvar de tu desnudez
en pleno centro de la soledad
Me quiero salvar haciendo revolución
desde tu cuerpo de cristal

Algo nos está pasando, ayer te leí una mano
y cada dibujo al verme me interrogó
Algo no está pasando, ayer apreté el interruptor
de encender la luz y encendí el sol

Hoy de ti hacia mi, hoy de mi hacia ti
vamos a hablar en voz muy baja
Dime lo que te pasa, déjame levantarte
déjame darte un beso y curarte
Vivamos de corrido, sin hacer poesía
aunque no esté de moda en estos días

Aunque no esté de moda te pido una mano
mis entrañas no entienden de estética y cambio
Aunque no esté de moda repite conmigo
quiero amor, quiero amor
quiero amor compartido

Te quiero salvar de tu desnudez
en pleno centro de la soledad
Me quiero salvar haciendo revolución
desde tu cuerpo por variar

Algo nos está pasando, un ruido como de pasos
viene en la oscuridad y se vuelve a ir
Algo nos está pasando, desde que la gente está empeñada
en quererse amar y en poder vivir

Aunque Mañana No Estés


Aunque Mañana No Estés
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



El fallo está tomado
la condena es este amor
los jueces de turno eligieron reir
los hombres más tontos eligen
los sueños
culpable
No importa lo que pase
mi paciencia aguantará
ansiando las cartas que nunca llegaron
llorando el aroma del río en tus pechos
de angel
Y aunque mañana no estés
yo silvaré bajito y me morderé los labios
de tanto haberte esperado
y seguir haciéndolo
Los hombres se someten
al poder de la pasión
quisiera explicarte que soy uno más
quisiera explicarte que son las cadenzas
del alma
No entiendo la distancia
como existe y no es real
soy presa de tu efecto
soy tonto por ello
quisiera ser nube y volar hacia el Norte
despacio.
Y aunque mañana no estés ...

Aujourd'hui Peut-Être


Aujourd'hui Peut-Être
Composer(s): Marcel Sicard - Paul Durand
Performer(s): Fernand Sardou



Devant ma maison y a un pin terrible
Dont la grosse branche pourrait bien tomber
Pour mon pauvre toit, quelle belle cible
Cette branche-là, je vais la couper...

Aujourd'hui peut-être, ou alors demain
Ce sacré soleil me donne la flemme
Je la couperai... té: après-demain
Et si je peux pas la couper moi-même
Je demanderai à l'ami Tonin
Qui la coupera aussi bien lui-même
Ce n'est pas qu'on soit feignant par ici
Mais il fait si chaud dans notre Midi

J'ai de beaux lapins, des lapins superbes
Mais ils ont toujours envie de manger
Il faut tout le temps leur couper de l'herbe
Et je devrais bien leur en ramasser...

Aujourd'hui peut-être, ou alors demain
Ces sacrés lapins me donnent la flemme
Je la couperai... té: après-demain
Et si je peux pas la couper moi même
Hé bé je lâcherai tous mes beaux lapins
Qui la couperont aussi bien eux-mêmes
Ce n'est pas qu'on soit feignant par ici
Mais la terre est basse dans notre Midi

Le soir de mes noces avec Thérèse
Quand on s'est trouvés tout déshabillés
En sentant frémir son beau corps de braise
Je me suis pensé: "je vais l'embrasser"...

Aujourd'hui peut-être, ou alors demain
Moi les émotions, boudiou, ça me rend tout blême
Je l'embrasserai... té: après demain
Et si je peux pas l'embrasser moi-même...
Mais soudain ça m'a pris au petit matin
On est déchaîné chez nous quand on aime
Et deux mois après... j'avais trois petits
Nous sommes les rois dans notre Midi

Don't Cha Stop


Don't Cha Stop
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars



Right here I'd like to melt inside of you
Right here your kiss is totally new
Right here your hands are soft and creamy
Right here your mouth is wet and dreamy
And it's just what I like
So dim down the light
Don't cha stop don't cha stop
Don't cha stop don't cha stop
If it makes you feel good
Your rhapsody is blowing my cool
Your fantasies were written for fools
Your long black hair it tickles my skin
Feels so luscious come on do it again

Toi et moi
Nous vivons dans la ville
Nos coeurs depuis longtemps
Longtemps
Ont le rythme des rues
Parmi tous ces regards
Qui se croisent et defilent
Les notres par hasard cessent d'etre inconnue

Aujourd'hui c'est toi
Aujourd'hui c'est moi
Aujourd'hui l'amour
Nous a pris par le bras
Et tant pis su ca va trop vite
Puisque l'amour nous invite
vivre eperdument
Ce qui nous attends
