You don't care I love you ain't that right
You don't care I love you ain't that right

When The Sun Goes Down In Romany (My Heart Goes Roaming Back To You)


When The Sun Goes Down In Romany
(My Heart Goes Roaming Back To You)
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Bert Grant



Dearie, dearie
Far across the deep blue sea
Dearie, dearie
Do you ever think of me?
When the Autumn leaves are turning
My thoughts turn to home
Is there still a love light burning
Far across the foam?
Dearie, dearie
Tell me, are we both alone?

Lonely, lonely
Think how lonely I must be
Lonely, lonely
No one seems to pity me
I can see the corn a swaying
In the candle light
Staying where I left you praying
"Lead his footsteps right"
Lonely, lonely, say a pray'r for me tonight

When the sun goes down in Romany
My heart goes roaming back to you
Through the dells the chapel bells are calling
There's a grief for every leaf that's falling
Like a tipsy gypsy I just wandered
Far from all the loved ones that I knew
But dearie
When the sun goes down in Romany
My heart goes roaming back to you

Ain't That Peculiar


Ain't That Peculiar
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson - Marvin Tarplin - Robert Rogers - Warren Moore
First release by: Marvin Gaye - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Honey you do me wrong but still i'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and i can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain
But how can love go through pain

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar ality
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be

You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
I've been so much in love with you baby til i don't wanna see
That things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a dog gone shame my love for you makes all
Your lies seem true
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar ality
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be

I cried so much just like a child thats lost its home
Maybe baby you think these tears i cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way
I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar ality
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be

When The Sun Comes Out


When The Sun Comes Out Composer(s): Harold Arlen; Ted Koehler First release by: Jimmy Dorsey & His Orch. Covered by multiple other artists



When the sun comes out And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane When the sun comes out There'll be bluebirds 'round my door Singin' like they did before That old storm broke out And my man walked off and left me in the rain Though he's gone, I doubt If he'll stay away for good I'd stop living if he should Love is funny It's not always peaches, cream and honey Just when everything looked bright and sunny Suddenly the cyclone came I'll never be the same Till that sun comes out And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane If my heart holds out Let it rain and let it pour It may not be long before There's a knockin' at my door Then you'll know the one I love walked in When the sun comes out

Composer(s): Clyde Otis - Ivory Joe Hunter
First release by: Eddie Riff - 1956

I could ride around the world in an old ox-cart
And never let another girl thrill my heart

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin' and my kissin' belong to just one

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

If you gave me nine lives like a alley cat
I'd give 'em all to you and never take one back

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

I'm putting on my Sunday suit and I'm goin' downtown
But I'll be kissin' your lips before the sun goes down

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

Performer(s): Ed Ames
and various other artists



Now the golden sun can see us kiss
Every summer day we'll love like this

When the snow is on the roses
When the bluebird's flown away
In my arms we'll both remember
All the love we shared today

As we walk along the silvery shore
Vows we make will last forever more

When the snow is on the roses
When the summer stars are gone
One more summer will be over
But our love will still go on

When the snow is on the roses
When the bluebird's flown away
In my arms we'll both remember
All the love we shared today
All the love we shared today

When The Ship Comes In


When The Ship Comes In
Title in Czech: Az Se Má Lod Zpátky Vrátí
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): The Hollies;
and various other artists



Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be a breezin'
Like the stillness in the wind
For the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in

Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the shoreline sands will be shaken
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
And the morning will be breakin'

Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smilin'
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in

And the words they use
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they are spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And be buried at the bottom of the ocean

Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the shoreline sands will be shaken
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
And the morning will be breakin'

A song will lift as the main sail shifts
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour when the ship comes in
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
And the ships wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'

Ain't That Lonely Yet


Ain't That Lonely Yet
Composer(s): James House - Kostas Lazarides
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam; Kostas



You keep calling me
On the telephone
You say you're all alone
Well that's real sad
And you keep leavin'
Notes stuck on my door
Guess you're hungry for some more
Girl that's too bad

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

Once there was this
Spider in my bed
I got caught up in her web
Of love and lies
She put her chains around my heart and soul
Never to let go
Oh but I survived

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

Nothing left you can do to try and bring me back
Cuz everything you do
Just brings me down, oh yeah and I

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

Cuz I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
Oh I ain't that lonely yet

When The Roses Bloom Again (Jeff Tweedy)


When The Roses Bloom Again
Composer(s): Will D. Cobb; Gus Edwards
Performer(s): Jeff Tweedy;
and various other artists



He was roaming in the gloaming where the roses were in bloom
A soldier, with his sweetheart, brave and true
And their hearts were filled with sorrow
for their thoughts were of tomorrow
As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue
"Do not ask me love to linger, for you know not what to say
Before duty calls your sweetheart's name again
But your heart need not be sighing; if I be among the dying
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again"

When the roses bloom again beside the river
And the mocking bird has sung her sweet refrain
In the days of Auld Lang Syne, I'll be with you sweetheart mine
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

In the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and low
From a soldier who had fallen in the fray
"I am dying, I am dying and I know that I must go
But I want to tell you before I pass away
There's a far and distant river where the roses are in bloom
And a sweetheart who is waitng there for me
It is there I pray you take me
I've been faithful, don't forsake me
I'll be with her when the roses bloom again"

When the roses bloom again

There was Adam, happy as a man could be
Till Eve got him messin' with that old apple tree
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted

Samson thought Delilah was on the square
Till one night she clipped him all his hair
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?

From our history books we all learned
Nero fiddled while Rome was burned
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Marie Antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate
They was crying for bread, she said "Let them eat cake"
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

You can buy a woman clothes
And give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She ain't never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

When The Roses Bloom Again (Deanna Durbin)


When The Roses Bloom Again
Composer(s): Nat Burton; Walter Kent
Performer(s): Deanna Durbin;
and various other artists



Darling won’t you cheer up
Smile away your fears
When it’s least expected
A rainbow appears
This shadow all around us
Is a temporary thing
And after the winter comes spring

When the roses bloom again
And the fields feel the plough
We will meet again sweetheart
Somehow

When the birds take back the sky
And are miles, miles above
We’ll be free again to live and love

Till then, oh how I’ll miss you
The laughter and tears we used to share
Till then in dreams I’ll kiss you
And seal every dream with a prayer

When the roses bloom again
When the world starts anew
I’ll be waiting here, sweetheart, for you

When the roses bloom again
When the world starts anew
I’ll be waiting here, sweetheart, for you

When The Rain Tumbles Down In July


When The Rain Tumbles Down In July
Composer(s): Slim Dusty
Performer(s): Slim Dusty;
The Bushwackers; Graeme Connors



Let me wander north to the homestead
Way out further on there to roam,
By a gully in flood, let me linger
When the summery sunshine has flown

Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds
And clouds fill the old northern sky
And the cattle move back from the lowlands
When the rain tumbles down in July

The settlers with sad hearts are watching
The rise of the stream from the dawn,
Their best crops are always in flood reach
If it rises much more they'll be gone

The cattle string out along the fences
The wind from the south races by
And the limbs from the old gums have fallen
When the rain tumbles down in July

The sleeping gums on the hillside
Awaken to herds strayin' by
Here on the flats where the fences have vanished
As the storm clouds gather on high

The wheels of the wagons stop turning
The stock horse is turned out to stray
The old station dogs are a-dozin'
On the husks in the barn through the day

The drover draws rein by the river
And it's years since he's seen it so high
Yes, and that's just a story of homeward
When the rain tumbles down in July

A Lot Of Love ((aka Ain't That A Lot Of Love (by Sam & Dave) - 1968))
Composer(s): Homer Banks, Deanie Parker
First release by: Homer Banks - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I know the desert could hold all the love that I feel in my heart for you
Just like the ocean that started to roll, my love it could be coming to you
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours, it wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better than indescribable
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the bees only knew how sweet you were, darling, they would shut up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is, they'd pack up and fly away
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

When The Rain Begins To Fall


When The Rain Begins To Fall
Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson



Like the sand can seep right through your fingers
so can all your days
As those days go by you'll have me there to help you find the way
The way I feel with you I know it's got to last forever
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

Time goes by so fast
You've got to have a dream
To just hold on
All my dreams of love began
With the reality of you
You and I believe
That all our dreams will last forever
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

Though the sun may hide
We still can see
The light that shines for you and me

We'll be together all that we can be
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright

And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright
