Mary Ann Regrets


Mary Ann Regrets
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Burl Ives
and various other artists



I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours
Then today in the mail I received this short little note
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their plan
Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann

The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been
I can't eat, I can't sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan
Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann

My Mary Ann died, they said she just wasted away
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today
For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan
Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann

Oh-Oh, I'm Falling In Love Again


Oh-Oh, I'm Falling In Love Again
Composer(s): Al Hoffman; Dick Manning; Mark Markwell
Performer(s): Jimmie F. Rodgers;
Eddy Arnold; Marion Ryan



Uh-oh, I'm falling in love again, uh-oh...

Many's the time I've been two-timed
Many's the time I've been stung
Many a honey took all of my money, but
That was when I was much younger

Made up my mind to be careful
Made up my mind to beware
I was alright until until Saturday night
I met a girl with the goldenest hair

Chorus:
Uh-oh, I'm falling in love again, uh-oh
I thought I'd never get caught again
Never in a hundred, never in a thousand
Never in a million years
Never in a million years

She had the bluest of blue eyes
She had the cherriest lips
Shouldn't have have kissed her
I tried to resist her but
One kiss, and I was a goner

I couldn't run if I'd wanted
I couldn't run if I tried
Saw what I liked
And I liked what I saw
And my heart went along for the ride

(Chorus)

That was the end of my roamin'
Now that it's over, I'm glad
Through gallavantin'
I got in a slam and I'm
Uh-oh, I'm a ring-a-ding daddy

Rockin' the cradle at nighttime
Livin' and lovin' each day
Got me a wife
She's the light of my life
And when I kiss her each morning I say

(Chorus)

Never in a hundred, never in a thousand
Never in a million years
Never in a million years
Uh-oh, uh-oh...

Mary (What Are You Waiting For?)


Mary (What Are You Waiting For?)
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and various other artists



What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for, Mary?
What are you thinking 'bout
Who are you thinking 'bout, Mary?
The bees are buzzing, they're buzzing right in my ear
And they keep on asking
"Hey, what's the big idea?"

Think of the moon above
Doesn't it speak of love, Mary?
Why do you lead me on
Why do you be so contrary?
You wouldn't let my castle come tum-tum-tumbling down
Think of the things in store
What are you waiting for, Mary?

Ohio (Doris Day)


Ohio
Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein;
Betty Comden; Adolph Green
Performer(s): Doris Day



Why oh why oh why oh
Why did I ever leave Ohio?
Why did I wander to find what lies yonder?
Life was so cosy at home
Wondrin’ why I wander
Why did I fly, why did I roam?
Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio?
Maybe I’d better go
O-H-I-O
Maybe I’d better go home

Why did I wonder
To find what lies yonder?
Life was so cosy at home
Wondrin’ why I wander
Why did I fly, why did I roam?
Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio?
Maybe I’d better go
O-H-I-O
Maybe I’d better go home

Mary


Mary
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): James Cagney



My mother's name was Mary
She was so good and true
Because her name was Mary
She called me Mary, too
She wasn't gay or airy
But plain as she could be
I'd hate to meet a Mar-y
Who called herself Ma-ry
For it is Mar-y, Mar-y
Plain as any name can be
But with propriety
Society will say Ma-ry!
But it was Mar-y! Mar-y!
Long before the fashions came
And there is something there
That sounds so square
It's a grand old name

Martine (Louis Neefs)


Martine
Originally performed by: Louis Neefs



Zie ik jou op televisie
Hang ik altijd aan de buis
Aan je beeld en aan je lippen
Want dan heb ik jou in huis

Zie ik jou op televisie
Nou, dan is m'n avond goed
Daaruit mag je concluderen
Dat je mij gewoon iets doet

Oh Martine, oh Martine
Hoe kan ik jouw hart verdienen
'k Ben geen makelaar uit Schraagen
Die jou in z'n huisje vond

Oh Martine, oh Martine
Hoe kan ik jouw hart verdienen
Ik hield altijd van brunettes
Maar ik hou het nu op blond

In een kwis of in een showtje
In een panel of een lied
Wees dan zeker dat ik thuis ben
En intens en diep geniet

Ik weet best dat ik geen kans heb
't Is me nergens om te doen
En een kushand is vaak mooier
Dan een doodgewone zoen

Oh Martine, oh Martine
Hoe kan ik jouw hart verdienen
'k Ben geen makelaar uit Schraagen
Die jou in z'n huisje vond

Oh Martine, oh Martine
Hoe kan ik jouw hart verdienen
Ik hield altijd van brunettes
Maar ik hou het nu op blond

Jij hebt alles wat ik mooi vind
Jij hebt charme, gratie, stijl
Door jouw vele kwaliteiten
Ging ik aardig voor de bijl

Maar zolang de molens draaien
En de wieken zullen gaan
Blijf ik hunkerend in de verte
Rustig op een afstand staan

Oh Martine, oh Martine
Hoe kan ik jouw hart verdienen
'k Ben geen makelaar uit Schraagen
Die jou in z'n huisje vond

Oh Martine, oh Martine
Hoe kan ik jouw hart verdienen
Ik hield altijd van brunettes
Maar ik hou het nu op blond

Oh Martine, oh Martine
Hoe kan ik jouw hart verdienen
Ik hield altijd van brunettes
Maar ik hou het nu op blond

Ohio (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)


Ohio
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young



Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio

Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been down long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been down long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know

Martine
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Martine, Martine
Auprès de notre enfant je t'imagine
Tu peux te rechauffer à son soleil
Vous pouvez profiter tous deux du ciel

Martine, Martine
Ce matin ton image se dessine
Comme un rayon d'espoir dans ma prison
Pourtant le temps est long
Martine, Martine, je t'aime
Martine, Martine pardonne moi
Pardonne moi Martine

Je t'aimerai comme on n'aime plus
Pour rattrapper tout le temps perdu
Je t'aimerai à te délivrer
Des souvenirs des amours passées

Martine, Martine
Je ne suis pas de ceux qui se résignent
A vivre sans soleil et sans amour
Aussi vrai qu'il fait jour
Martine, Martine je t'aime
Martine, Martine ne m'oublie pas
Ne m'oublie pas Martine

Je t'aimerai comme on n'aime plus
Pour rattrapper tout le temps perdu
Je t'aimerai à te délivrer
Des souvenirs des amours passées

Rien ne pourra séparer nos vies
Puisque l'amour les a réunies
Si l'on n'a plus qu'une liberté
Que ce soit celle de nous aimer

Martianos


Martianos
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Yo soy un grano de arena
una hoja más en un árbol
y cada ola me enseña
y cada brisa trae algo

No he visto todas las tierras
no he visto todos los mares
pero he sentido la guerra
silbando por todas partes

Cuando nací me dijeron
naciste por la esperanza
Así le digo a mi hijo
y parto hacia la matanza

Quiero que pare la muerte
yo quiero que pare el frío
para poder dedicarme
a flor, a viento y a río

El mundo me dio las manos
dos reinos que hacen suerte
Llevo una flor en la diestra
que es el reino de la muerte

De amor yo vivo y de espada
de boca y puertas abiertas
Hay que vivir de una bala
Hay que morir de una fiesta

Qué duras son esas noches
en que queremos ser buenos
y hay que matar sollozando
y hay que morir sonriendo

Oh, You Beautiful Doll
Composer(s): Nat D. Ayer; Seymour Brown
Performer(s): Mel Tormé;
and various other artists



Honey dear, want you near
Just turn down the light and then come over here
Nestle close up to my side
My heart's afire with love's desire
In my arms, rest complete
I never thought that life could ever be so sweet
Till I met you, some time ago
But now I know I love you so

Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
Let me put my arms about you
I could never live without you
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
If you ever leave me, how my heart will ache
I want to hug you, but I fear you'd break
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, you beautiful doll

Precious prize, close your eyes
Now we're goin' to visit Lovers' Paradise
Press your lips again to mine
For love is king of ev'rything
Squeeze me, dear! I don't care!
Hug me just as if you were a grizzly bear
This is how I'll go through life
No care or strife when you're my wife

Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
Let me put my arms about you
I could never live without you
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
If you ever leave me, how my heart will ache
I want to hug you, but I fear you'd break
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, you beautiful doll

Martha


Martha
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps, patiently
She sifts the hairy air that's worn and wood-swept, pleasantly
She does as she pleases, she listens for me

Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow, "Fly to me"
You can dance and sing and walk with me
And dreams will fade and shadows grow in weed
She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me

My love she talks to winking windows as she murmurs to her feet, thoughtly
She separates in laughter to my side, caught for me
She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me

Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock and it's waiting there for me
She weeds apart through a token lock
What a great thing to be free
She weeps time, starts unspoken, but when the gate swings there she'll be
There she'll be: in green sun, on blue earth under warm running shower

Oh, What A Night For Love


Oh, What A Night For Love
Composer(s): Steve Allen; Neal Hefti
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists



A strawberry moon, a blueberry sky
Polka-dot stars shining on high
Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

A lavender breeze, a summer perfume
Sycamore trees, roses in bloom
Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

The air is cool
But warm are your lips
Warm is the touch
Of your fingertips

Some marshmallow clouds, silver lagoon
Somewhere a sweet lullaby tune
Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

The air is cool
But warm are your lips
Warm is the touch
Of your fingertips

Some marshmallow clouds, silver lagoon
Somewhere a sweet lullaby tune
Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

Performer(s): David Whitfield
and various other artists



Marta, Rambling rose of the wildwood
Marta, with your fragrance divine
Rosebud, of the days of my childhood
Watched you bloom in the wild wood
and I hoped you'd be mine.
Marta, though your eyes beam at twilight
sparkling like each dewdrop at dawn
Marta, when I look for your love light
I awake with a sigh
and I find you are gone
Marta, Rambling rose of the wildwood
Marta, with your fragrance divine
Rosebud of the days of my childhood
Watched you bloom in the wildwood
and I hoped you'd be mine
Marta, now your eyes beam at twilight
sparkling like each dewdrop at dawn
Marta, when I look for your love light
I awake with a sigh, and I find you are gone

Mary Me A Little


Mary Me A Little
Composer(s): Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



"Marry me a little
Love me just enough
Cry, but not too often
Play, but not too rough
Keep a tender distance
So we'll both be free
That's the way it ought to be
I'm ready!
Marry me a little
Do it with a will
Make a few demands
I'm able to fulfill
Want me more than others, not
Exclusively
That's the way it ought to be
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!"

Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;

There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephants eye
An’ it looks like it’s climbing clear up in the sky

Oh, What a beautiful mornin’
Oh, What a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way

All the cattle are standin’ like statues
All the cattle are standin’ like statues
They don’t turn their heads as they see me ride by
But a little brown mav’rick is winkin’ her eye

Oh, What a beautiful mornin’
Oh, What a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way

All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don’t miss a tree
And an old weepin’ willer is laughin’ at me

Oh, What a beautiful mornin’
Oh, What a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way

Married Man Blues


Married Man Blues
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Listen all you rounder’s take a tip from me
Listen all you rounder’s take a tip from me
Don’t you ever marry if you love your liberty

Don’t do it boy

A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
But when she gets you she’ll find an ace up her sleeve

Once I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
But now all I hear rattlin’ is this ball and chain of mine

When I was a singer I had girls by the score
When I was a singer I had girls by the score
But now I’m married and they don’t love me no more

My Mama says marry my Papa says use your head
Mama told me to marry my Papa says use your head
Because being married is just like being dead

Pa you knew your stuff

Oh, Sweet Temptation


Oh, Sweet Temptation
Composer(s): Wayne Carson
Performer(s): Gary Stewart



Oh, sweet temptation
It's hard to turn away
I look into your begging eyes
And Lord I wanna stay

But I'll hate myself in the morning
And you will hate me too
'Cause after the fire of the night's desire
I'll have to say goodbye to you

Must be the wine
And the way the candle shines
That makes me wanna take you through the night

One of us must be strong
For we both been wrong
And your waiting ban ??? keeps saying: it's not right

Oh, sweet temptation
It's hard to turn away
I look into your begging eyes
And Lord I wanna stay

But I'll hate myself in the morning
And you will hate me too
'Cause after the fire of the night's desire
I'll have to say goodbye to you

I can feel the trembling hands
Until you really need a man
And I could satisfy the need in you
Well, it's not that I'm so smart
I just don't wanna break your heart
Go on home and love the one you're married to

Oh, sweet temptation
It's hard to turn away
I look into your begging eyes
And Lord I wanna stay

But I'll hate myself in the morning
And you will hate me too
'Cause after the fire of the night's desire
I'll have to say goodbye to you

Marrakesh Express


Marrakesh Express
Composer(s): David Crosby; Stephen Stills; Graham Nash
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash



Looking at the world
Trough the sunset in your eyes
Trying to make the train
To clear Moroccan skies
Bugs and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American man is five foot tall and you
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen up to what's been said to you
Would you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
Would you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
All on board that train
I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair
Take a train to Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m,m,m,m,mouth
Cold coffins hang in the square
Charming corporals in the square
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board that train
All on board that train
All on board that train
