May I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight, Mister
May I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight, Mister
Performer(s): Mac Wiseman
One night it was dark and 'twas stormy
And along came a tramp in the rain
He was making his way to some station
To catch a long distance train
May I sleep in your barn tonight mister
It is cold lying out on the ground
And the cold north wind it is blowing
And I have no place to lie down
Oh I have no tobacco or matches
And I'm sure that I'll do you no harm
I will tell you my story kind mister
For it runs through my heart like a thorn
It was three years ago last summer
I shall never forget that sad day
When a stranger came out from the city
And said that he wanted to stay
One night as I came from my workshop
I was whistling and singing with joy
I expected a kind hearted welcome
From my sweet loving wife and my boy
But what should I find I find but a letter
It was placed in the room on the stand
And the moment my eyes fell upon it
I picked it right up in my hand
Now this note said my wife and the stranger
They had left and had taken my son
Oh I wonder if God up in Heaven
Only knows what this stranger has done

Olé
Olé
Composer(s): Pedro del Moral;
David Ferrero; Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Azucar Moreno
Dame los perfumes de sus calles y sus flores
y la luz de sus mañanas, acuarela de colores
Dame sus ritmos calientes cuando suenan sus guitarras
y el repique de un gitano cuando está tocando palmas
Dame la alegría de mi Tierra Santa
y ese "angel" de mi gente cuando el corazón les canta y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar
Dame sus sabores a fritura y manzanilla
y sus fiestas populares que son una maravilla
Dame su belleza hecha de mil razas
y el valor de sus toreros cuando salen a la plaza
Dame la alegría de mi Tierra Santa
y ese "angel" de mi gente cuando el corazón les canta y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
no hay piropo más bonito que te puedan regalar
Y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar
Lléname los ojos de su cielo azul turquesa
y la magia de su luna que te embruja y que te besa
Llévame a caballo por marismas y caminos
a ofrecerle mi cariño a la Virgen del Rocío
Dame la alegría de mi Tierra Santa
y ese "angel" de mi gente cuando el corazón les canta y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Es el grito de mi gente cuando quiere de verdad
Y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar
Olé, olé, olé, olá
no hay piropo más bonito que te puedan regalar
Y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar.
..Olé, olé, olé, olá... (BIS)
..Olé, olé, olé, olá...
..Olé, olé...
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Es el grito de mi gente cuando quiere de verdad
Olé-olé, olé-olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar
Olé, olé, olé, olá
no hay piropo más bonito que te puedan regalar
Y dicen
Olé-olé, olé-olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar

Composer(s): Charles Tobias; Harry Tobias; Henry Tobias
Performer(s): Malcolm Roberts;
Joanie Bartels; Sydney Devine
May I have the next dream with you, dear?
Just a dream between us two
Who’d think that someday, somewhere, in some way
I’d meet a dream like you
Close your eyes and put your arms around me
You’d be surprised what love can do
So may I have the next dream with you?
And may it last the whole night through
(Repeat)

Oldie But Goodie
Composer(s): Claude Moine; M. Gaucher
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Quand t'auras tes dix-neuf ans
J'serai plus blond comme avant
Fini l'Odyssée d'l'Espace
Deux mille un impair et passe
Tu viendras me demander
Pourquoi, comment t'es née
Je te parlerai d'amour
Que le temps m'paraît court
J'fais pas dans la nostalgie
J'veux pas r'faire le monde, la vie
J'dis tout même si tu souris
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
Goodie goodie
Moi j'ai fait mal à ma mère
Pas d'études secondaires
Vers quinze ans j'suis parti
M'balader dans ma vie
Et de décalages horaires
De tournées en galas galères
Dancings et salles des fêtes
J'confonds tout dans ma tête
J'fais pas dans la nostalgie
J'oublie pas c'que j'ai appris
Celle que j'aime comprend c'que j'dis
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
Goodie goodie
J'fais pas dans la nostalgie
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
J'oublie pas c'que j'ai appris
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
Celle que j'aime comprend c'que j'dis
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
J'fais pas dans la nostalgie
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie

May I Drop A Petal In Your Glass Of Wine
Composer(s): Mack Gordan; Harry Revel
May I drop a petal in your glass of wine?
It will make your life a song
When I drop a petal in your glass of wine
Lady Luck will come along
Her face will dance in your champagne
Your heart will dance like bubbles in the rain
May I drop a petal in your glass of wine?
To bring out the blue above
For you'll find a petal in your glass of wine
Will show the way to love
You'll know the time is right
You'll know tonight's the time to say be mine
When I drop this petal in your glass of wine

Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; David Porter
Originally performed by: Sam & Dave
May I, baby, hmmmm walk you home?
May I, baby, because I don't want you to be all alone, no
Now listen here, with each step my heart beats 3 times
Because there's so much trouble in my little mind
May I, baby, come and tell you what it's all about?
May I, baby, I hope you're itchin' to find out
Listen, I'm just a little boy, live behind a grocery store
I've been watchin' you come and go now
May I, baby?
Can I, honey, tell you how I feel?
I love the ground you walk on, yes I do
Oh I beg you and nobody else
You brighten up; look here, listen to what I'm saying
"Why, she's been through the same thing herself"
May I, baby, give my little heart to you?
May I, baby, you can do anything you want to do
Tell me baby, may I, baby?
May I, baby? ...

Old 30
Old 30
Composer(s): Bill Fries; Chip Davis
Performer(s): C.W. McCall
She was mud and sand and concrete
Mixed with water made of tears
From the rivers runnin' down the great divide
She was three thousand miles
Of rockin' rollin' highway
A million memories long and two lanes wide
Far across the wide Missouri
To the old Wyoming line
From the Jersey shore to San Francisco Bay
She was know to all the truckers
As the mighty Lincoln Highway
But to me she's still Old Thirty all the way
Now the interstate goes sreamin'
Through the backyard of her life
But it just don't send those shivers down my spine
So before I take that exit
To the highway in the sky
I'm gonna take Old Thirty one more time
She was radiators boilin'
In the burnin' summer sun
And a blizzard blowin' wild across the plains
She was tumbleweeds a rollin'
In the gentle winds of Fall
And the lights of old Grand Island in the rain
She was mud and sand and concrete
Mixed with water made of tears
From the rivers runnin' down the great divide
She was three thousand miles
Of rockin' rollin' highway
A million memories long and two lanes wide
Now the interstate goes sreamin'
Through the backyard of her life
But it just don't send those shivers down my spine
So before I take that exit
To the highway in the sky
I'm gonna take Old Thirty one more time
One more time...

May I
May I
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
Ring around the rosy and I’ll catch you if I can
And if you don’t say may I, then you’ll have to start again
But first you must indulge me and count from one to ten
Let the game begin
I adore you when you touch me
Pin the tail upon the donkey, you will surely win
And if you don’t say may I, then I’ll pass the cake around
And I won’t give you any, but you won’t make a sound
You don’t eat soap, anyhow
Red light, green light, blue light, yellow light
You can take three giant steps or a baby step will do
But if you don’t say may I, then I’ll march you out the door
Where you’ll be contemplating the numbers one to four
I hope you’re keeping score
'Cause if you don’t say may I, then I’ll get you with the hose
And spoil your sunday clothes will it please you if I tease you
While you’re at the spindry, I’ll pass the pie around
But you won’t make a sound
You don’t eat blackbird anyhow
There’s four and twenty reasons why it can’t be wrong
How long have you been gone
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
Peter, peter, pumpkin eater
Wear your sneakers around sound sleepers

Old Tennessee
Old Tennessee
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Fools Gold
End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the Winter
Yellows and grays
Paint the sad skies today
And I wonder when
You're coming home
Woke up one morning
The wind through the window
Reminded me Winter
Was just 'round the bend
Somehow I just didn't
See it was coming
It took me by surprise again
And I hear you're in San Francisco
Living with your sister who's a mother to be
And her husband's way down in Georgia
And I'm still in old Tennessee ...
Wishing you'd come home to me
Life here is easy
I'm sure you recall
How it's so warm and breezy
In the Summer and the Fall
But Winter's upon me
And I've got no heat here
And I miss your fire so sweet, Dear
I miss your fire so sweet
And I hear you're in San Francisco
Living with your sister who's a mother to be
And her husband's way down in Georgia
And I'm still in old Tennessee ...
Wishing you'd come home to me
End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the Winter
Yellows and gray
Paint the sad skies today
And I wonder when
You're coming home
I wonder when you're coming home

May Each Day
May Each Day
Composer(s): Mort Green; George Wyle
Performer(s): Andy Williams;
José Carreras; John MacNally; Mantovani
May each day in the week be a good day
May the Lord always watch over you
And may all of your hopes turn to wishes
And may all of your wishes come true
May each day in the month be a good day
May you make friends with each one you meet
And may all of your daydreams be memories
And may all of your memories be sweet
The weeks turn to months and the months into years
There'll be sadness and joy, there'll be laughter and tears
But one thing I pray to heaven above
May each of your days be a day full of love
May each day in the year be a good day
May each dawn find you happy and gay
And may all of your days be as lovely
As the one you shared with me today
May each day of your life be a good day
And good night

a knock comes on her door

Old Shep
Old Shep
Composer(s): Red Foley; Willis Arthur
Performer(s): Red Foley;
and various other artists
When I was a lad and Old Shep was a pup
O'er hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun
We grew up together that way
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
When I would've drowned beyond doubt
Shep was right there, to the rescue he came
He jumped in and helped pulled me out
So the years fed along and at last he grew old
His eyesight was fast growin' dim
Then one day the doctor looked at me and said
"I can't do no more for him, Jim"
With a hand that was trembling I picked up my gun
I aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
And I wished that they'd shoot me instead
I went to his side and I sat on the ground
He laid his head on my knee
I stroked the best pal that a man ever found
I cried so I scarcely could see
Old Sheppie he knew he was going to go
For he reached out and licked at my hand
He looked up at me, just as much as to say
"We're parting, but you understand"
Now Old Shep is gone where the good doggies go
And no more with Old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home

Some say that you're reckless
They say we're much too young
Tell us to stop before we've begun
We've got to hold out till graduation

Talk about life the meaning of it all
Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl
Try to hang on Maxine
Mexico City is like another world
Nice this year they say
You'll my senorita
In jeans and pearls
But first let's get off this high way
(off this high way)
We'll move back to Manhattan
And fill the place with friends
Drive to the coast and drive right back again
One day we'll wake up make love but till then
Try to hang on Maxine

Old Rivers
Old Rivers
Composer(s): Cliff Crofford
Performer(s): Walter Brennan; David Briggs;
Jimmy Dean; Dave Dudley; Marvin Rainwater
How old was I when I first seen old Rivers?
I can't remember when he weren't around
Well, that old fellow did a heap of work
Spent his whole life walking plowed ground
He had a one-room shack not far from us
And well, we was about as poor as him
He had one old mule he called Midnight
And I'd trailed along after them
He used to plow them rows straight and deep
And I'd come along near behind
A-bustin' up clods with my own bare feet
Old Rivers was a friend of mine
That sun'd get high and that mule would work
Till old Rivers'd say, ''Whoa!''
He'd wipe his brow, lean back on the reins
And talk about a place he was gonna go
Chorus:
He'd say, one of these days
I'm gonna climb that mountain
Walk up there amoung the clouds
Where the cotton's high
And the corn's a-growin'
And there ain't no fields to plow
--- Instrumental ---
I got a letter today from the folks back home and
They're all fine and crops is dry
Down at the end my mama said, ''Son
You know old Rivers died''
Just sittin' here now on this new-plowed earth
Trying to find me a little shade
With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see
That mule, old Rivers and me
Chorus:
Now, one of these days
I'm gonna climb that mountain
Walk up there amoung the clouds
Where the cotton's high
And the corn's a-growin'
And there ain't no fields to plow
With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see
That mule, old Rivers and me...
