Shakedown Cruise
Shakedown Cruise
Performer(s): Jay Ferguson
It was thirty days around the horn
The captain says it's thirty-five more
The moon looks mean the crew ain't staying
There's gonna be some blood
Is what they're all saying
It's a shakedown cruise
And I was just another tool
There ain't no easy way out
They're gonna shake you 'til you shout
They treat you like a dog
But you're only human
You miss your home Lord
You miss that woman
The captain laughs he says
"You boys want some sex?"
You can squeeze the sails
You can lick the decks
It was a shakedown cruise
I guess I just was born to lose
They tell you life is going cheap
I got myself in pretty deep
Star light lost in the night
Drift away and it feels all right
Star light alone in the night
Drift away and it feels all right
I guess it feels all right
The fever's hot, the winds are blowin' cold
The captain's crazy eye puts the fear in your soul
I heard somebody cryin' "Lord let this end
You know I'll never go to sea again"
It was a shakedown cruise
And now we're sendin' out the news
There ain't no victory at sea unless it's mutiny
Now if I don't get off alive
It's just as well I'll be waking up in heaven
'Cause I've been through hell on this shakedown cruise
They call it a shakedown cruise
Shakedown, shakedown cruise
Shakedown, shake it up and move
Shakedown, shakin' in my shoes

and various other artists
Quick Joey Small went over the wall
With a ball an' a chain behind him
Quick Joey Small went over the wall
Send the dogs right out to find him
In a striped prision suit with no room to move
He headed for the highway
With his chain still dragin'
He thumbed down a wagon said
Well you're goin my way
And they say now
Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey
Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail
Sheriff got a shotgun, he do
He'll fill you full of lead son, it's true
He's also got a blackjack, he's mad
He'd bust your head with one wack
Here I go now
Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Sweet Mary Jane was goin' insane
When she heard of Joey's jail break
But she knew all the while 'cause
She sent him a file
Baked inside a fudge cake
Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey
Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail
Sheriff Jack Banes was a light on brains
But he knew one thing for sure
He took some toughs and a pair of handcuffs
And headed straight for Mary Jane's door
Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey
Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail
Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey
Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail

Queen Of Cities
Queen Of Cities
Composer(s): Elton John; Tim Rice
Performer(s): Elton John
El Dorado, queen of cities
Paradise so wisely hid
Overshadows Barcelona
Aragon, Castle, Madrid
Where on Earth can match your riches
Match your people fine and free
Why return to old world values
This is how the Earth should be
El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado
El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado
El Dorado, queen of cities
Overflowing with excess
Every turn exotic, lavish
Prescious wonders numberless
Lead me now into temptation
Surely you would not deny
One who's come so far to find you
All your blessings save goodbye
El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado
El Dorado, (she could be the death of me)
El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado
El Dorado, golden prison
Sheer perfection, sheer despair
How can one who knows such splendour
Feel the answer lies elsewhere
All I know is I must leave her
Or she'll be the death of me
Put my trust in poorer places
Let the queen of cities be
El Dorado, (must leave her) El Dorado (queen of cities)
El Dorado, (sheer perfection) El Dorado
El Dorado, (or she'll be the death of me) El Dorado
El Dorado, (queen of cities) El Dorado
(Must leave her) El Dorado, (queen of cities)
El Dorado, (sheer perfection) El Dorado
El Dorado, (or she'll be the death of me) El Dorado
El Dorado, (queen of cities) El Dorado

Queen Of Hearts
Queen Of Hearts
Performer(s): Juice Newton
Midnight
and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight
you're just a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
if it's only for a very short time
Chorus:
Playing with the queen of hearts
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie
thinking 'bout a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do
to keep me away from you
Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handing out the heartaches
you know you got to have you some
Chorus:
Lovers, I know you've had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers
and tell 'em they're the only one
And others, they know just what I'm going through
And it's a-hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun
Playing with the queen of hearts
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Chorus:
Playing with the queen of hearts
(repeat and fade)

Queen Of My Double Wide Trailer
Queen Of My Double Wide Trailer
Composer(s): Dennis Linde
Performer(s): Sammy Kershaw; The Country Dance Kings
Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant
She said she was fresh from the farm
And I remember thinkin' for a country girl
That she went pretty well armed
We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank
I ordered her a slow gin fizz
And when them chicken fried steaks arrived
She said I like living like this
So I made her the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Times she's run off and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
Well a few nights later I run into her
With some stranger on a park bench
She said he rebuilds engines and his name is Earl
He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench
I whispered honey let's just go on home
And have some onion rings and watch TV
And as I walked her to the truck
Earl was cryin' don't you leave me
I told him
This is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
I said this is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
I said this is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
She's the Queen
She's the Queen

Queen Of The May
Queen Of The May
(Traditional)
Now the winter is gone and the summer is come
And the meadows and plantings so gay
I heard a fair maid so sweetly she sung
And her cheeks like the blossoms in May
Young Johnny the plowboy his cheeks like a rose
So cheery he sings to the plow
And the blackbird and thrush on every green bush
And the pretty girl a-milking her cow
As I walked through the fields to take the fresh air
And the meadows and plantings so gay
I heard a young damsel so sweetiy she sung
And her cheeks like the blossoms in May
I says, "Pretty fair maid, oh, how come you are here
In this meadow this morning so gay?"
This maid she replied, "Sir to gather me some may
For the trees they are all now in bloom."
I says, "My pretty fair maid shall I tarry with you
In this meadow this morning so gay?"
This maid she replied, "Are you so innocent
For fear you might lead me astray?"
I took this fair maid by the lily white hand
And on the green mossy bank set her down
And I planted a kiss on her red ruby lips
And the small birds a-singing all around
And when we arose from the green mossy bank
Through the meadow we wandered away
I had plowed my true love on the green mossy bank
And I plucked her a handful of may
And when we arose she gave me a smile
And thanked me for what I had done
For I planted a kiss on her red ruby lips
For believe me those ne'er would I shun
'Twas early next morning I made her my bride
That the world would have nothing to say
And the bells they shall ring and the bridesmaids shall sing
And I'll crown her the queen of the May

Shake That Thing
Shake That Thing
Composer(s): Papa Charlie Jackson
Performer(s): Ethel Waters
Down in Georgia, got a dance that's new
Ain't nothin' to it, it's easy to do
Called 'Shake That Thing'
Oh, shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now, the old folks start doin' it, the young folks too
But the old folks learn the young ones what to do
About shakin' that thing
Ah, shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now, Grandpappy Johnson grabbed Sister Kate
He shook her like you shake jelly on a plate
How he shook that thing
Oh, he shook that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Why, there's old Uncle Jack, the jellyroll king
He's got a hump in his back from shakin' that thing
Yet, he still shakes that thing
For an old man, how he can shake that thing
And he never gets tired of tellin' young folks, "Go out and shake that thing"
Now, it ain't no Charleston, ain't no Pigeon Wing
Nobody has to give you no lessons, to shake that thing
When everybody can shake that thing
Oh, I mean, shake that thing
I'm gettin' tired of tellin' you how to shake that thing
Oooh, oooh, with this kind of music, who wouldn't shake that thing

Oh! Thus shall we prove thee
How truly we love thee
How dark without Mary
Life's journey would be
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Virgin most tender
Our homage we render
Thy love and protection
Sweet Mother, to win
In danger defend us
In sorrow befriend us
And shield our hearts
From contagion and sin
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
Of Mothers the dearest
Oh, wilt thou be nearest
When life with temptation
Is darkly replete
Forsake us, O never
Our hearts be they ever
As Pure as the lilies
We lay at thy feet
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May

Alternative Version:
Bring flow'rs of the fairest, bring flow'rs of the rarest
From garden and woodland and hillside and vale
Our full hearts are swelling, our glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest Rose of the vale.
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
The sun is shining brightly
The trees are clothed with green
The beauteous bloom of flowers
On ev'ry side is seen
And all the world is gay
For 'tis the month of Mary
The lovely month of May
There's music in the heavens
For birds are singing there
And nature's songs and praises
Are sounding through the air
With joy we'll sing today
For 'tis the month of Mary
The lovely month of May
And when night closes o'er us
And twinkling stars appear
The chaste moon calmly reigneth
In skies so bright and clear
In heaven far away
There reigns o'er saints and angels
Our lovely Queen of May
Hail! Virgin, dearest Mary
Our lovely Queen of May
All spotless blessed Lady
Accept our gladsome lay
Thy children humbly bending
Around thy shrine so fair;
With heart and voice ascending
Sweet Mary, hear our pray'r
Hail! Mary, sunclad Virgin
Our smiling Queen of May
All sinless, star-crowned Lady
Accept our tuneful lay
We've gathered fresh bright flowers
To wreath our fair queen's brow
From gay and verdant bowers
We haste to crown thee now
Queen of the Angels
Queen of the May
