Ground Hog Blues
Ground Hog Blues
Composer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson
Performer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson
Now I'm a walkin' groundhog
mama and I walks around in my den
Now I'm a walkin' groundhog
mama and I walks around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow, John I believe I'll go back in
Now I want some feedin' mama, so I can hear a high sound
If you don't feed me baby I believe I'll go back in the ground
Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow you say you don't love me
I believe I'll go back in
Now I wanna hear some swingin' music, I wanna hear a Fats Waller song
Now if I start to jitterbuggin' I'm forgettin' my hole down in the ground
Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, man and I walks around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow my woman don't love me
I believe I'll go back in
Yes John, you know what I mean...
Oh you know I'm a-walkin' wild...
Now I need some pettin' baby, baby you know what I mean
Now if you don't pet me baby, I believe I'll go back down in New Orleans
Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, at night I walks around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow my woman don't love me
yeah an' I believe I'll go back in

Chicken Feed
Chicken Feed
Performer(s): Bobbi Staff
It's not because the money you have is only chicken feed
It's because I know I'm not the only chicken you feed
I don't care if a boy has barely enough to feed me
I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds feed
I heard about you last night, out in the bright lights with old Suzie Brown
You took her to the movie show, you took her to the bowling bowl, you took her ev'ry place in town
Guess ya think it's funny out spendin' all your money, leavin' me home alone
Well from now on I'm gonna be anywhere else but home
It's not because the money you have is only chicken feed
It's because I know I'm not the only chicken you feed
I don't care if a boy has barely enough to feed me
I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds
I was sittin' home thinkin' how I'd like to be drinkin' a Coke somewhere in town
When a friend phoned me, and she told me you were feedin' old Suzie Brown
Well I got down low, got to feelin' so low that I thought I would die
Well I've got news for you, I'm not going to sit home and cry
It's not because the money you have is only chicken feed
It's because I know I'm not the only chicken you feed
I don't care if a boy has barely enough to feed me
I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds feed
I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds feed

My Very Good Friend The Milkman
My Very Good Friend The Milkman
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and various other artists
My very good friend the milkman says
That I've been losing to much sleep
He doesn't like the hours I keep
And he suggests that you should marry me
My very good friend the mailman says
That it would make his burden less
If we both had the same address
And he suggests that you should marry me
Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints
All the latest real estate news
And every day he sends me blueprints
Of cottages with country views
My very good friends the neighbours say
That they've been watching little things I do
And they perceive that I love you
So I suggest that you should marry me

Grosse Galette
Grosse Galette
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Dans le brouillard de Londres
J'ai rencontré un soir
Un type nommé Bobby
Un guitariste noir
Il venait de Kingstone
Avait des yeux violets
Dans un bar de Brighton Beach
C'était là qu'il jouait
Ses doigts longs et rapides couraient sur sa guitare
Ses riffs comme des fluides transperçaient le brouillard
Puis la lumière dorée du soleil de Negril
Planait sur la fumée en petites notes agiles
Ses textes étaient précis et bourrés d'humour noir
C'était donc mon ami depuis ce fameux soir
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
J'te les joue ici, mais elles viennent d'ailleurs
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Guitare, basse, batterie, saxophone et chœurs
J'étais noir moi aussi mais pour d'autres raisons
J'avais passé dix ans à dormir en prison
C'était une drôle d'affaire pleine de coups d'escopette
De transporteurs de fond et puis de grosse galette
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Je chante en sous-sol mon reggae braqueur
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Surtout pas de cris, ça s'passe en douceur
Dans la vie, mon garçon, que tu sois noir ou blanc
T'as le choix, tu travailles ou tu gagnes de l'argent
Les flics n'ont pas aimé cette chanson historique
Paumée la grosse galette et finie la musique
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
J'te les joue ici, mais elles viennent d'ailleurs
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Guitare, basse, batterie, saxophone et chœurs

That Face
That Face
Composer(s): Lew Spence - Alan Bergman
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists
That face, that face, that wonderful face!
It shines, it glows all over the place
And how I love to watch it change expressions
Each look becomes the pride of my possessions
I love that face, that face, it just isn't fair
You must forgive the way that I stare
But never will these eyes behold a sight that could replace
That face
That face
That face
I love those eyes, those lips, that fabulous smile
She laughs and Spring goes right out of style
Oh never will these eyes behold a sight that could replace
That face
That face
That face
That face
That face
That face
That face

My Unfinished Symphony
My Unfinished Symphony
Composer(s): Milton Carson
Performer(s): David Whitfield
My love is my unfinished symphony
When you kiss me violins begin to play
The melody I hear when you are near
Will linger on till tomorrow is today
My love's a rhapsody the breezes sigh
In my heart it sings and echoes to the sky
Such a love will live on through eternity
That's my unfinished symphony
Such a love will live on through eternity
That's my unfinished symphony

Gross Chapel - British Grenadiers
Gross Chapel - British Grenadiers
Composer(s): Steve Hanley; Craig Scanlon; Mark E. Smith
Performer(s): The Fall
Porterage down
The dark gross chapel
The stepped streets around now
Sells person mobile
Porterage down
Dark gross chapel
The stepped streets around now
Was introduced by a woman loose-limbed, slim
One look up to a whitewashed ugly wall
Whoosh made worse by dirty postcards
Trapped in their town
Their bracing criminals in panicky hall
No time for The Fall group
I'll put you down
Porterage down
To the dark gross chapel
These stepped streets around now
(So's cro-cellar...)
I'll put you down
To the gross chapel
You were right said Peter
Dying for a smoke
But you should've said to them please
(Job's idea) how little they (...)
(Like Canava's) coming up assaulted
They were as fed up as I was
Waiting outside after putting blame on you
Porterage down
(I slam) I am ailing
Porterage down
(...)
Wearing his clothes, they (...)
and their commandos live happy
In that scaly (eard)
Where (air) were commandos
Storm all pallisades
Our leaders will not refuse us
We will (tangle maze)
Throw them from glasses
And about the enemy's ears
Sing
Ta ra ra ra ra
For the British Grenadiers
I'll put you down

My Uncle
My Uncle
Composer(s): Graham Parsons; Chris Hillman
Originally performed by: The Flying Burrito Brothers
A letter came today from the draft board
With trembling hands I read the questionnaire
It asked me lots of things about my mama and papa
Now that ain't what I call exactly fair
So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
That tends to keep a good man underground
A sad old soldier once told me a story
About a battlefield that he was on
He said a man should never fight for glory
He must know what is right and what is wrong
So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
That tends to keep a good man underground, yeah
Now, I don't know how much I owe my uncle
But I suspect it's more than I can pay
He's asking me to sign a three-year contract
I guess I'll catch the first bus out today
So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
That tends to keep a good man underground
That tends to keep a good man underground

Oh, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination

At a time like this
Oh it's a groovy situation
a splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss
It's been a long time sweet darling
since love has come my way
But I'm trying so hard
To find the right words to say
Oh, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh it's a groovy situation
a splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss

Cross your heart and hope to die it's love
A perfect world in my minds eye and oh

My Turn On Earth
My Turn On Earth
Composer(s): Lex de Azevedo; Carol Lynn Pearson
The world turns 'round like a merry go round
It lets some off and it takes some on
Some horses are high and some horses are low
Some turns are short and some turns are long
My turn, it's my turn
It ends with death it begins with birth
And it's my turn, it's my turn
It's my turn on Earth
Well never mind just how long you stay
The size or shade of the horse you've got
Just see all the sights and hear all the sounds
And feel the sun, and you'll learn a lot
My turn, it's my turn
It ends with death it begins with birth
And it's my turn, it's my turn
It's my turn on Earth
The world turns 'round like a Ferris wheel
Some times you're low and sometimes you're high
But even way down you can never forget
The thrill you feel when you're touchin' the sky
My turn, it's my turn
It ends with death it begins with birth
And it's my turn, it's my turn
It's my turn on Earth

Groovin'
Groovin'
Composer(s): Brigati; Cavaliere
Performer(s): The Young Rascals
Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of
Movin' down a crowded avenue
Doing anything we like to do
There's always lots of things that we can see
You can be anyone we like to be
All those happy people we could meet
Just groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Really, couldn't get away too soon
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it coming closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly
Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away to soon
No, No, No, No
Groovin'
Groovin'

For work I have no time

There's songs to sing her

Trinkets to bring her
Flowers for her golden hair

But still I'm gonna try

There's songs to sing her
Trinkets to bring her
Flowers for her golden hair
(For her golden hair)
How I love my truly fair
(Loves his truly fair)
Wow! How I love my truly fair
(How he loves his truly fair)

Texas Trilogy: Train Ride
Texas Trilogy: Train Ride
Composer(s): Steven Fromholz
First release by: Steven Fromholz - 1969
Well, the last time I remember that train stopping at the depot
Was when me and my Aunt Veta came riding back from Waco
I remember I was wearing my long pants and we was sharing
Conversation with a man who sold ball-point pens and paper
And the train stopped once in Clifton where my Aunt bought me some ice cream
And my Mom was there to meet us when the train pulled into Kopperl
But now kids at night break window lights
And the sound of trains only remains
In the memory of the ones like me
Who have turned their backs on the splintered cracks
In the walls that stand on the railroad land
Where we used to play and then run away from the depot man
I remember me and brother used to run down to the depot
Just to listen to the whistle when the train pulled into Kopperl
And the engine big and shiny, black as coal that fed the fire
And the engineer would smile and say, "Howdy, how ya fellows?"
And the people by the windows playing cards and reading papers
Looked as far away to us as next summer's school vacation
But now kids at night break window lights
And the sound of trains only remains
In the memory of the ones like me
Who have turned their backs on the splintered cracks
In the walls that stand on the railroad land
Where we used to play and then run away from the depot man
