Knoxville Girl
Knoxville Girl
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Wilburn Brothers;
and various other artists
I met a little girl in Knoxville
a town we all know well
And every Sunday evening
out in her home I'd dwell
We went to take an evening walk
about a mile from town
I thought of how she cheated me so I knocked that fair girl down
I picked a stick up off the ground and knocked that fair girl down
Oh Willy dear don't kill me here I'm not prepare to die
She never spoke another word I only beat her more
Until the ground around me within her blood did flow
[ fiddle - guitar ]
I took her by her golden ces I dragged her round and round
Then threw her into the river that flows through Knoxville town
Go there go there you Knoxville girl with dark and rolling eyes
Go there go there you Knoxville girl you'll never be my wife
I rolled and tumbled the whole night through my dreams were living hell
And then they came from Knoxville and carried me to jail
I'm here to waste my life away and time is passing slow
Because I killed that Knoxville girl the girl I loved so

Turn That Heartbeat Over Again
Turn That Heartbeat Over Again
Composer(s): Donald Fagen - Walter Becker
Performer(s): Steely Dan
With stocking face I bought a gun
The plan was set the plan was done
Looked at my watch and started for the door
Now the food here ain't so good no more
And they closed the package store
Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me
Oh Michael Oh Jesus you know I'm not to blame
You know my reputation for playing a good clean game
Oh Michael Oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when
You turn that heartbeat over again
My poison's named you know my brand
So please make mine a double, Sam
Stir it up nice I'll eat it right here
This highway runs from Paraguay
And I've just come all the way
Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me
We warned the corpse of William Wright
Not to cuss and drink all night
Ticket in hand I saw him laid to rest
But zombie see and zombie do
He's here with me and you
Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me

I Wish I Knew
I Wish I Knew
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Dick Haymes
and multiple other artists
Is this the night I've waited, oh, so long for
Is this my dream at last come true
Are you the one my heart has saved its song for
How can I tell, I wish I knew
I wish I knew someone like you could love me
I wish I knew you place no one above me
Did I mistake this for a real romance
I wish I knew, but only you can answer
If you don't care, why let me hope and pray so
Don't lead me on, if I'm a fool just say so
Should I keep dreaming on or just forget you
What shall I do, I wish I knew
If you don't care, why let me hope and pray so
Don't lead me on, if I'm a fool just say so
Should I keep dreaming on or just forget you
What shall I do, I wish I knew

Composer(s): Collins; Johnny Devlin
Performer(s): Johnny Devlin & The Devlins
I wanna kling to you like a baby koala bear
When I hold you close, like you want me to
Baby don't run away, like a scared emu
Well, I wanna give you some lovin' anyplace, anywhere
I don't wanna lose you, 'cause I really care
I wanna kling to you like a baby koala bear
Can't you feel my heart when I'm close to you
Well, it's hoppin' so fast, like a kangaroo
Well, I wanna give you some lovin' anyplace, anywhere
I don't wanna lose you, 'cause I really care
I wanna kling to you like a baby koala bear
Well, I got you baby, I'll never let you go
I don't wanna leave you, 'cause I love you so
One thing baby that I wanna do
I wanna kling to you like the koala bears do
Well, now that I told you, don't you laugh at me
Like the kookaburras do, and the blue gum too
Well, I wanna give you some lovin' anyplace, anywhere
Don't you leave me baby, 'cause I really care
I wanna kling to you like a baby koala bear
I wanna kling to you like a baby koala bear
I wanna kling to you like a baby koala bear

Turn Over A New Leaf
Composer(s): Lewis Ilda - Gilbert
Performer(s): Ivy Benson & her All Girls Band
So turn over a new leaf
Start a new love affair
Let's try again
I know we'll succeed
Kind words and sweet thoughts
Are all that we need
Turn over a new leaf
For ever together we'll be
Just answer my prayer
and say you'll still care
Turn over a new leaf with me!
Turn over a new leaf
For ever together we'll be
Just answer my prayer
and say you'll still care
Turn over a new leaf with me!

I Wish I Didn't Love You So
I Wish I Didn't Love You So
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
First performance by: Betty Hutton - 1947
I wish I didn't love you so
My love for you should have faded long ago
I wish I didn't need your kiss
Why must your kiss torture me as long as this
I might be smilin' by now
with some new tender friend
Smilin' by now
with my heart on the mend
But when I try
Something in that heart says "No"
You're still there
I wish I didn't love you so

Kodachrome
Kodachrome
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon; Percy Faith;
André Kostelanetz; Christiane Noll
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
Everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome, etc ...

I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate
I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate
Composer(s): Armand J. Piron
Performer(s): The Georgians
and multiple other artists
I went to a dance with my sister Kate
Everybody there thought she danced so great
I realized a thing or two
When I got wise to something new
When I looked at Kate, she was in a trance
And then I knew it was in her dance
All the boys are going wild
Over sister Katie's style
Oh, I wish I could I shimmy like my sister Kate
She shimmies like a jelly on a plate
My mama wanted to know last night
What makes the boys think Kate's so nice
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
They know that she can shimmy and it's understood
I know that I'm late, but I'll be up-to-date
When I shimmy like my sister Kate
I mean, when I shimmy like my sister Kate
Now I can shimmy like my sister Kate
I know that I'm real late
I think I'll do a real shimmy dance
Dancing like my sister Kate
Sweet papa, just like my sister Kate

Koeeoaddi There
Koeeoaddi There
Composer(s): Robin Williamson
Performer(s): The Incredible String Band
the natural cards revolve ever changing
seeded elsewhere planted in the garden fair
grow trees, grow trees
tongues of the sheer wind
setting you foot where the sand is untrodden
the ocean that only begins
listen a woman with a bulldozer built this house now
carving away the mountain whose name is your childhood home
we were trying to buy it buy it buy it
someone was found killed there all bones bones dry bones
earth water fire and air
met together in a garden fair
put in a basket bound with skin
if you answer this riddle
you'll never begin
born in a house where the doors shut tight
shadowy fingers on the curtains at night
cherry tree blossom head high snow
a busy main road where I wasn't to go
I used to sit on the garden wall
say hello to people going by so tall
hallo to the postman's stubbly skin
hallo to the baker's stubbly grin
mrs thompson gave me a bear
brigitte and some people lived upstairs
skating on happy valley pond
various ministers and guards stood around
the ice was nice hallo the invisible brethren
and there was a tent you played cards with the
soldiers in, don't worry we won't send anyone
after you they screamed
but me and licorice saw the last of them one
misty twisty day
across the mournful morning moor motoring away
singing ladybird, ladybird what is your wish
your wish is not granted unless it's a fish
your wish is not granted unless it's a dish
a fish on a dish is that what you wish
earth water fire and air
met together in a garden fair
put in a basket bound with skin
if you answer this riddle
you'll never begin

Turn On The Sunshine
Turn On The Sunshine
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Connie Francis
If you're walking in the shadows
And then it's time that you get wise
And just forget about your troubles
And open up your eyes
And when you wear a smile
The world will shout, "Hooray!"
You gotta turn on the sunshine
Your gonna put the blues away!
And just a little bit of sunshine
Makes it all a better place
You can chase away your troubles
When you got a happy face
When you wear a smile
The world will shout, "Hooray!"
You gotta turn on the sunshine
Your gonna put the blues away!
If the world is sad and weary now
You don't have to be a politician
You can change it all
With a sunny disposition
So, be happy
And spread it all around
If you find yourself a-frownin'
Just turn it upside down
When you wear a smile
The world will shout, "Hooray!"
You gotta turn on the sunshine
You gotta give in one time
You gotta turn on the sunshine
Put those blues away!
Man, this dialect is too much!

I Wish All My Children Were Babies Again
I Wish All My Children Were Babies Again
Composer(s): Jack Baxley
Performer(s): Gene Autry
and multiple other artists
I wish all my children were babies again
Playing around my knee
Each tiny tot means a lot
In my album of memories
I wish I could tuck them in their little beds
And hum them a lullaby strain
I'd take ev'ry heartache and never complain
If my children were babies again
I asked an old lady one day
If all of her wishes came true
Her eyes filled with tears as she turned back the years
Her mem'ry quickly flew
She said, "Here's the wish I'd make
If I had only one to take"
I wish all my children were babies again
Playing around my knee
Each tiny tot means a lot
In my album of memories
I wish I could tuck them in their little beds
And hum them a lullaby strain
I'd take ev'ry heartache and never complain
If my children were babies again

Koetje Boe
Koetje Boe
Performer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen
Aan de kant van de sloot daar stond eens een koe
Aan de andere kant een paard
Ze sloegen zo, te stampen hoor
Naar de vliegen met hun staart
Maar die koe was verliefd op dat mooie paard
Ze bloosde als hij keek
Een rilling liep haar langs de rug
Zij was geheel van streek
Toen die koe haar kop verloor
Zongen de kikkertjes in koor
Koetje boe, koetje boe, koetje boe boe boe
Vergeet het maar gerust
Wist jij niet dat je buurman paard nooit bonte koeien kust
Koetje boe, koetje boe, koetje boe boe boe
Vergeet het alsjeblieft
Jouw lieveling met die lange staart wordt nooit op jou verliefd
Al zou je willen, haha
Al stond je te gillen
Hij kijkt je met z'n rug niet aan
Z'n merrie laat hem vast niet gaan
Koetje boe, koetje boe, koetje boe boe boe
Vergeet het alsjeblieft
Jouw lieveling met die lange staart wordt nooit op jou verliefd
Maar geen tien meter verder daar stond een heer
Z'n achternaam was stier
Hij stikte haast van jaloezie
En riep 'wat is dat hier'
Denk je dat je me zomaar bedriegen kunt
Met onze buurman paard
Voor straf leg ik jou, domme koe
Drie knopen in je staart
En het paard keek er eens naar
Ze zongen daarna met elkaar
Hé koetje boe, koetje boe, koetje boe boe boe
Vergeet het maar gerust
Wist jij niet dat je buurman paard nooit bonte koeien kust
Koetje boe, koetje boe, koetje boe boe boe
Vergeet het alsjeblieft
Jouw lieveling met die lange staart wordt nooit op jou verliefd
Al zou je willen, haha
Al stond je te gillen
Hij kijkt je met z'n rug niet aan
Z'n merrie laat hem vast niet gaan
Koetje boe, koetje boe, koetje boe boe boe
Vergeet het alsjeblieft
Jouw lieveling met die lange staart wordt nooit op jou verliefd

Turn On The Heat
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Buddy G. DeSylva - Fletcher Henderson
Performer(s): Sharon Lynn
and multiple other artists
Turn on the heat, start in to strut
Wiggle and wobble, and steam up the hut
Oh, oh, it's thirty below
Turn on the heat, fifty degrees
Get hot for Mama/Papa, or Mama/Papa will freeze
Oh, oh, start meltin' the snow
If you are good, my little radiator
It's understood, you'll get a gumdrop later
Oh, turn on the heat, pour in the oil
Start in to bubble and come to a boil
You put the burn on for Mama/Papa, and turn on the heat

I Wish
I Wish
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With "boy thought I told you not to go outside"
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so
Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go

Turn On That Red Hot Heat (Burn Your Blues Away)
Composer(s): Louis Alter - Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): The Cotton Club Singers
Turn on that red-hot heat
And burn your blues away
Come on and get under the spell
Turn on that red-hot heat
Let's take a holiday
Wake up and get out of your shell
If you find livin' full of trouble ahead
Who cares if who knows
Step out and give in
Paint the town till it's red
Don't be a blue nose
Turn on that red-hot heat
And burn your blues away
Nothing will ever go wrong
If you beat your feet and
Put some heat in a song

Remember me, remember me
Keep this little thought within your memory
Though we’re far apart we see the same blue sky
And each night we see the same old moon go by
Remember me, remember me

Tell me you’re the same and until we meet again
Always remember me
Remember me, remember me
I shall always love you ever tenderly
Tell me you’re the same and until we meet again
Always remember me
