Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
Composer(s): Ronnie Gilbert; Lee Hays;
Fred Hellerman; Pete Seeger
Performer(s): The Weavers;
and various other artists
Well, when I was a young man never been kissed
I got to thinkin' it over how much I had missed
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
Oh, lordy, well I kissed 'er again
Chorus
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)
Well I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife
I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops oh lordy, well she gave me her hand
Chorus
Well we worked very hard both me and my wife
Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life
We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin
And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins
Chorus
Well our children they numbered just about four
And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
I was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight
Chorus
Well now that I'm old and I'm a'ready to go
I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain
But then, whoops oh lordy, well I'd do it all again
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm…kisses…sweeter…than…wine

Twilight Time (The Three Suns)
Twilight Time
((Finnish Version: Kun Hämärtää (Fredi) - 1977))
Composer(s): Artie Dunn - Al Nevins - Morty Nevins
First release: The Three Suns - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists
Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it's twilight time
When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the same and sweet old way I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time

Run Joey Run
Run Joey Run
Composer(s): Perry Cone; Paul Vance
Performer(s): David Geddes
(Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me)
(Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married, just you wait and see)
She called me up, late last night, she said Joe, don't come over
My dad and I just had a fight, and he stormed out the door
I've never seen him act his this way, my God, he's going crazy
He says he's gonna make you pay, for what we've done, he's got a gun, so
Run Joey Run Joey Run
(Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me)
(Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married, just you wait and see)
I got in my car and I drove like mad, till I reached Julie's place
She ran to me, with tears in her eyes, and bruises on her face
All at once, I saw him there, sneaking up behind me, (Watch Out!)
Then Julie yelled, "He's got a gun", and she stepped in front of me
Suddenly, a shot rang out, and I saw Julie falling
I ran to her, I held her close, when I looked down
My hands were red, and here's the last words Julie said
(Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me)
(Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married)
(Aaaahhh-aaaahhhh. aaaahhhh-aaaahhhhh)

Twilight Time (The Moody Blues)
Twilight Time
Composer(s): Ray Thomas
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Twilight time to dream awhile
In vales of deepening blue
As fantasy strides over colourful skies
Perform, disappearing from view
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile
A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase
Of notes that are rich and so true
An aerial display by the firefly brigade
Dancing to tunes no-one knew
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile
Building castles in the air
Whistling to the wind
As nature bows down her head
See what tomorrow brings
Twilight time
Dream with me awhile
Bats take to wing like puppets on string
Prancing through cool evening air
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
From a wave of the sun's blinding stare

I Won't Dance
I Won't Dance
From the film "Roberta" (1935)
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists
Ginger:
Think of what you're losing
By constantly refusing
To dance with me
You'd be the idol of France with me
And yet you stand there
And shake your foolish head rheumatically
While I wait here so ecstatically
You just look and say emphatically
Fred:
Not this season
There's a reason
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let my feet do things they should do
You know what?
You're lovely
Ginger:
So what? I'm lovely...
Ginger:
But oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
Ginger:
Ah, but when you dance you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when you do The Continental
Ginger:
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us
I'm not asbestos
And that's why...
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
And if I hold you in my arms ...
I won't dance

Twilight, can't find my way
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man

It's all; it's everything
I'm soaking through the skin
Twilight... darkened day
Twilight... lost my way
Twilight... night and day
Twilight... can't find my way

And I'm closing the door of memories
Though you're the one love that my arms are longin' for
This is goodbye, I won't cry anymore

Twenty One Years
Twenty One Years
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Tom Donovan
The judge said "Stand up lad and dry up your tears"
You're sentenced to Dartmoor for twenty-one years"
So dry up your tears babe and kiss me goodbye
The best friends must part now, so must you and I
I hear the train coming, 'twill be here at nine
To take me to Dartmoor to serve up my time
I look down the railway and plainly I see
You standing there waving your goodbyes to me
Six months have gone by babe, I wish I were dead
Tis a cold dreary dungeon and rocks for my head
It's raining, it's hailing, the moon gives no light
Now will you tell me babe, why you never write
I've counted the days babe, I've counted the nights
I've counted the footsteps, I've counted the lights
I've counted the raindrops, I've counted the stars
I've counted a million of these prison bars
I waited, I trusted, I longed for the day
A life-time so lonely, now my hair's turning grey
All my thoughts are for you babe, 'til I'm out of my mind
For twenty-one years is a mighty long time
For twenty-one years is a mighty long time

I Won't Be Blue Anymore
I Won't Be Blue Anymore
Composer(s): Dan Seals
Performer(s): Dan Seals; Jesse McReynolds
I won't be blue anymore
I'll go out on the town
And I'll take all my friends
Every honky tonk around
And they'll help me forget you
And the way it used to be
Then I won't be blue anymore
The only friends I've got now
Since you've been gone
Two arms that used to hold you
And the heart that surely broke
And the mind that sometimes wonders 'bout my sanity
So they made me make this promise to me
I won't be blue anymore
I'll go out on the town
And I'll take all my friends
Every honky tonk around
And they'll help me forget you
And the way it used to be
Then I won't be blue anymore
My friends are always with me
Even when I'm alone
They watch over and protect me
'Cause they know how far I've gone
They're the only ones that care now
And they knew that they could help
So they made me make this promise to myself
I won't be blue anymore
I'll go out on the town
And I'll take all my friends
Every honky tonk around
And they'll help me forget you
And the way it used to be
Then I won't be blue anymore
No, I won't be blue anymore

Rock In My Shoe
Rock In My Shoe
Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
I've met a girl or two in my lifetime
And I've loved a few, but not the right time
I think I'm a-wastin' my time lovin' anyone but you
You got a hold on me I just can't seem to break free
I walk a girl to town and start to fool around
But honey you're the rock in my shoe
I stroll into the night spots
Thinkin' that I'm something real hot
I got a pretty girl and she's got a lo, but I know she ain't true
It's just not the same, I'm playin' a fool's game
Oh, when I start to dance and try to make romance
Honey, you're the rock in my shoe
Now my heart has reached that decision
'Cause my mind keeps havin' a vision
No hers and his and and I guess I always knew
You'd make the bells ring and pull my heart strings
I'm walkin' down the aisle with the great big smile
'Cause there ain't no rocks in my shoe
There's always a rock in my shoe
When I walk with someone new
I try to find love in another's arms
But it seems I just dream of you
Now my heart has reached that decision
'Cause my mind keeps havin' a vision
No hers and his and and I guess I always knew
You'd make the bells ring and pull my heart strings
I'm walkin' down the aisle with the great big smile
'Cause there ain't no rocks in my shoe
I'm walkin' down the aisle with the great big smile
'Cause there ain't no rocks in my shoe

Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa
Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Gene Pitney
and multiple other artists
Dearest, darling
I had to write to say that I won't be home, any more
For something happened, to me
While I was driving home
And I'm not the same any more
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light
And stopped to rest for the night
And that is when I, saw her
As I pulled in outside of a small hotel, she was there
And so I walked up, to her
Asked where I could get something to eat
And she, showed me where
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
She took me to the café
I asked her if she would stay
She said, "okay"
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
A juke box started to play
And that turned into today
As we were dancing, closely
All of a sudden I lost control as I, held her charms
And I caressed her, kissed her
Told her I'd die before I would let her out, of my arms
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you
But I love somebody new
What can, I do?
And I can never, never, never, go home again
(woh! woh! woh! woh!)

My dreams of you continue through until the dawn
And after that I find the daydream crew comes on
I wonder, I wonder, can't help it if I wonder
You care for someone else, I see
Well then, it's quite all right with me
I'm gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit
And find myself somebody who is twice as cute
And when you realize that you and I are through
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do
Wonder, how I wonder
I wonder
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do
Gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit
And find myself somebody who is twice as cute
And when you realize that you and I are through
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do
