My Little Grass Shack


My Little Grass Shack
Composer(s): Bill Cogswell; Tommy Harrison; Johnny Noble
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and various other artists



I want to go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
I want to be with all the kanes and wahines
That I knew long ago
I can hear old guitars a-playing
On the beach at Honaunau
I can hear the Hawaiians saying
Komo mai no kaua i ka hale welakahao
It won't be long till my ship will be sailing back to Kona
A grand old place that's always fair to see,
I'm just a little Hawaiian like a homesick island boy
I want to go back to my fish and poi
I want to go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
Were the humu humu nuku nuku apua
Go swimming by

Got To Be Enough


Got To Be Enough
Composer(s): Michael Cooper; Felton C. Pilate II
Performer(s): Con Funk Shun



The things I do for you
I do for no one else
The things I give to you
Usually keep them for myself

Every chance I take with you
‘Cause my luck is on the one
Your tricks, your treat, they can’t be beat
They keep me on the run

I got to be enough, girl
(Think about it, don’t you doubt it)
I wanna be your stuff, girl
(Think about it, don’t you doubt it)

I got to be enough, girl
(Think about it, don’t you doubt it)
Until you get enough, girl, why don’t you
(Think about it, don’t you doubt it)

Places that you wanna go
I’ll take you anytime
Cash to buy you pretty things
I’m working overtime

You take all the lovin’, baby
That my body has to give
Run with my affections, girl
As long as you may live

I got to be enough, girl
(Think about it, don’t you doubt it)
I wanna be your stuff, girl
(Think about it) Ooh, ooh (Don’t you doubt it)

I got to be enough, girl
(Think about it) Hey, hey (Don’t you doubt it)
Until you get enough, girl, why don’t you
(Think about it, don’t you doubt it)

Get funky with me, child
Don’t you see, oh, you’re sweet to me, sweet baby
Get funky with me, child
Don’t you see, oh, you’re sweet to me, pretty baby

Get funky with me, child
Don’t you see, oh, you’re sweet to me
Get funky with me, child
Don’t you see, oh, you’re sweet to me

Get funky with me, child
Don’t you see, oh, you’re sweet to me, yeah, hey
Get funky with me, child
Don’t you see, oh, you’re sweet to me

I got to be enough, girl, oh
(Think about it, don’t you doubt it)
I wanna be your stuff, girl, oh
(Think about it) Ooh, ooh (Don’t you doubt it)

I got to be enough, girl, oh, oh
(Think about it) Come on (Don’t you doubt it)
Until you get enough, girl, why don’t you
(Think about it, don’t you doubt it)

Tell Me What You See In Me


Tell Me What You See In Me
Composer(s): Dave Cousins
Performer(s): Sandy Denny & The Strawbs



My ship sails in
On a cloud of broken promises
It's just not true
Not a single word she says
Time will tell
Whether I can change my ways
It might take years
It might even take always

Tell me what you see in me
And I'll tell you what I see in you

Your picture melts
Before my tired eyes
And all it leaves
Is just a trace of paradise
You'll change again
That's what I've been told
But don't take long
Or I might get too old

Take it easy
But take it slow
For who knows which way next
That wind will blow
Time goes by
Just as quickly as I want it to
And I'll make out
Like I never knew

My Little Girl


My Little Girl
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; William Dillon; Albert Von Tilzer



I write these lines to tell you that I'm sorry I Left home
because I'm all alone, why did you let me roam
Some one put the jinx on me, I'm up against it strong
I'm out of work and so I wrote a song
the first verse dear is very sweet, because it speaks of you
I'm sending you the chorus, read it through

The second verse is not complete, I cannot rhyme the part
That goes with aching heart, but I was never smart you know
that the chorus is the part that must be heard
and now I've got a job to rhyme that word
now if this song should make a hit, I'll marry you in June
and if it don't there'll be no honeymoon

My little girl you know I love you and I long for you each day
my little girl I'm dreaming of you though you're many miles away
I see the lane down in wildwood where you promised to be true
my little girl I know you're waiting and I'm coming back to you

Got The Love
Composer(s): Roger Ball;
Robbie McIntosh; Hamish Stuart
Performer(s): Average White Band



Babe, you been gone such a long time
I've been thinkin' 'bout what it is we've got
Not all the time in the world, but we got a lot
There is much, much more than a ghost of a chance
We can make it right this time
'Cause you've got to stay mine

Got the love
Got to make it work on you
Got the love
Just can't keep it hid

You might not think that I care at all, But I do
You know me so much better than anyone else
It should be easy to convince you that I got the love

Got the love
Got to make it work on you
Got the love
Just can't keep it hid

So come on girl, let's work it out
C'mon and take my hand
'Cause I got the love

Got the love
Got to make it work on you
Got the love
Just can't keep it hid

Got No Reason Now For Goin' Home


Got No Reason Now For Goin' Home
Composer(s): Johnny Russell
Performer(s): Gene Watson;
and various other artists



Got no reason now for goin' home all my reason's now she is gone
Got no one there to talk to
And even though I know I ought to
Got no reason now for goin' home
Once I had ev'ry reason a man could want for goin' home and makin' love
but now I don't
So I end up in here each night sittin' and a thinkin'
missin, her, hurtin' so, and drinkin'
Got no reason now for goin' home, all my reason's now she is gone
Got no one there to talk to
And even though I know I ought to, got no reason now for goin' home
It's so hard now just knowin' there's another
that she's out with him, knowin' that I love her
So I end up in here each night sittin' and a thinkin'
missin' her, hatin' him and drinkin'
Got no reason now for goin' home, all my reason's now she is gone
Got no one there to talk to
And even though I know I ought to
Got no reason now for goin' home

Tell Me What He Said


Tell Me What He Said
Composer(s): Jeff Barry
Performer(s): Helen Shapiro



I've lost him, but I don't know how
He's goin' with another now
He'll be at the party on Friday night
I'd go there myself, but it wouldn't be right

But if you see him there
Please tell him that I care
And that I want him back again
Tell him that and then
Tell me what he said

Just take him to a side
Tell him how much I cried
And that I'm beggin' on my knees
Tell him that, but please
Tell me what he said

If I hurt him, I'm sorry (Sorry)
Please tell him that I love him (Love him)
No matter what the trouble may be
We can talk it over

I've never been so blue
I'll wait right here for you
Then I'll know if I should cry
If I should live or die
When you tell me what he said

I've lost him, but I don't know how
He's goin' with another now

But if you see him there
Please tell him that I care
And that I want him back again
Tell him that and then
Tell me what he said

Just take him to a side
Tell him how much I cried
And that I'm beggin' on my knees
Tell him that, but please
Tell me what he said

If I hurt him, I'm sorry (Sorry)
Please tell him that I love him (Love him)
No matter what the trouble may be
We can talk it over

I've never been so blue
I'll wait right here for you
Then I'll know if I should cry
If I should live or die
When you tell me what he said
When you tell me what he said
When you tell me what he said

My Little Angel (William Shakespeare)


My Little Angel
Composer(s): George Young; Harry Vanda
Performer(s): William Shakespeare (aka John Cave)



It was on a cold December afternoon
Doesn't seem that long ago
I was sitting on my feet by my old fireplace
When in walked my little girl home from school
And I could see that something was wrong
By the tears that were rolling down her face

And she said Daddy, Daddy at school today
Somebody told me a lie
And after hearin' what she had heard
I told her not to cry
It hurt to see her cry

Because she's my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel when she smiles
Oh yes, she's my, my little angel
My little angel, and I don't ever wanna see her cry

What she heard was that angel's didn't really exist
That they were just a part of fables, fairytales, any ol' how
Of course there are angels I said
Everybody has an angel that takes care of them
In fact I know there's a real live angel right now

And she said Daddy, Daddy please tell me where
And tell me how do you know
And I said, easy, if you listen close
It's not too far to go
And this is how I know

Because you're my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel when you smile
Oh yes, you're my, my little angel
My little angel, and I don't ever wanna see you cry

Now I miss her dearly since she left that day
But I know she is near me every hour, every day
Because she's, because she's my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel, yes she's mine

Ah, she's so fine, my little angel, my little angel
And I know that she's with me all the time
With me all the time, my little angel
My little angel, my, my little angel

I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you

I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got my rabbit foot, I know it's workin right
I got this strand of hair I'll keep day and night
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you

My Little Georgia Rose


My Little Georgia Rose
Composer(s): Bill Monroe
Performer(s): Bill Monroe
and various other artists



Now come and listen to my story
Story that I know is true
'Bout a rose that blooms in Georgia
With hair of gold and a heart so true

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose

Her mother left her with another
A carefree life she had planned
Maybe now she's a lady
One her mother could not stand

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose

We often sang old songs together
I watched her do her little part
She'd smile at me and I would tell her
That she was my own sweetheart

Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose

My Little Dream Girl


My Little Dream Girl
Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert; Anatol Friedland
Performer(s): James Reed



The nighttime, the nighttime is calling me
it's dreamtime, sweet dreamtime, for you and me
I'm longing, I'm longing to close my eyes
for there a sweet vision lies

While shadows are creeping through the darkest night
In dreamland, sweet dreamland, there's your love light
It's beaming, it's gleaming and all for me
your vision I long to see

My little dream girl, you pretty dream girl
sometimes I seem, girl, to own your heart
Each night you haunt me, by day you taunt me
I want you, I want you, I need you so
Don't let me waken, learn I'm mistaken
find my faith shaken, in you sweetheart
I'd sigh for, I'd cry for, sweet dreams forever
my little dream girl goodnight

Got My Heart Set On You


Got My Heart Set On You
Composer(s): Dobie Gray; Bud Reneau
Performer(s): John Denver;
John Conlee; Dobie Gray



Ever since the day I met you, I feel like I'm walking on air
And lately I'm convinced, it's no coincidence I run into you everywhere
And though I've heard your love is taken, I gotta believe what's in your eyes
Would I be out of line if I suggested a time and we get together one of these nights
Got my heart set on you, you’re everything that I ever wanted
Got my heart set on you, it can't be anything but love
Baby I'm betting on it

I don't want to give you the wrong impression
I'm not the kind who rushes in, but baby every time I see you
before I even leave you I can hardly wait to see you again
I got my heart set on you, you’re everything that I ever wanted
Got my heart set on you, it can't be anything but love
Baby I'm betting on it

I don't mean to be coming on strong or taking anything for granted
but love is a thing that just comes along
You don't understand how it got out of hand, but you're in it right from the start
I got my heart set on you, you’re everything that I ever wanted
Got my heart set on you, it can't be anything but love
Baby, I'm betting on it

Tell Me The Old, Old Story


Tell Me The Old, Old Story
Composer(s): Richard L. Weaver



There's a question ever new sweetheart I would ask of you
Will you tell me once again the story dear
... It's the theme of life's sweet song, as the ages roll along
Making sunshine when the clouds seem near
... In the days of "Auld Lang Syne" those sweet days when you were mine
Many hours we pass'd together by the mill
... Time has chang'd us both since then, but I've wandered back again
For your answer that you love me still

Now the birds as sweetly sing
'Round the ivy cover'd spring
As they did for us sweetheart in time before
And I'm waiting here today, fondly hoping you will say
That you love me as you did of yore
... When I've travell'd far and near
There was naught in life to cheer
All the world is shadow'd dearest without you
And for each fond joy apart
I've the longing in my heart for that dear old story ever new...

Tell me the old, old story, that you love me as of yore
... Others strive for fame and glory
I'm content with your love evermore
... Time can never change you sweetheart
With your eyes of violet blue
... I'm waiting to be told, the story sweet and old
You love me still as I love you

Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and various other artists



Close your sleepy eyes
My little Buckaroo
While the light of the western skies
Is shinin' down on you
Don't you know it's time for bed
Another day is through
So go to sleep
My little Buckaroo

Don't you realize
My little Buckaroo
That it was from a little acorn
That the Oak tree grew?
And remember that your dad
Was once a kid like you
So go to sleep
My little Buckaroo

Soon you're gonna ride the range
Like grown up cowboys do
Now it's time that you were roundin' up
A dream or two
So go to sleep
My little Buckaroo

My Little Bimbo Down On The Bamboo Isle


My Little Bimbo Down On The Bamboo Isle
Composer(s): Grant Clarke; Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Frank Crumit
and various other artists



Sailor Bill McCoy was a handsome sailor boy
His ship got wrecked awhile, on a Fiji Iji Isle
He led a savage life and he hunted with a knife
He said, "I'll tell you all about it, don't tell my wife, because....

I've got a Bimbo down on the Bamboo Isle
She's waiting there for me, beneath a bamboo tree
Believe me, she's got all the other Bimbo's beat a mile
She dances daily, gayly, she'd make a hit with Barnum and Bailey
I'll build a bungalow on the Bamboo Isle
'Cause when I go again, I'll stay awhile
I've seen wrecks, plenty of wrecks out on the ragin' sea
But, by heck, you've never seen a wreck like the wreck she made of me
And, all she wore was a great big Zulu smile
My little Bimbo Down on the Bamboo Isle

William's boss said, "Bill, a Captain's job you'll fill
On a ship that's going North, today it's going forth"
A Captain's job is fine, but Bill said, "I'll decline
I'll Take half pay as a sailor on that ship of mine, 'cause"....

I've got a Bimbo Down on the Bamboo Isle
She's waiting there for me beneath a bamboo tree
Believe me, she's got all the other Bimbo's beat a mile
She dances daily, gayly, she plays a mean ukelele
I'll build a bungalow on the Bamboo Isle
"Cause when I go again, I'll stay a while
"What's that? What's a Bimbo mean? Please take my advice
I don't know what "Bimbo" means, but I think it's something nice
Everybody loves her, even the crocodiles
My little Bimbo, down on the Bamboo Isle
