Ain't Wastin' Time No More


Ain't Wastin' Time No More
Composer(s): Gregg Allman
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band; Wet Willie; Zoo People



Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
Week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I come to realize
I still had two strong legs, and even wings to fly

And oh I, ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things

Lord, lord Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, you're lookin' like you're dyin'
Just step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown baby, find somebody to love

Meanwhile I ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things

You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
You can't let one precious day slip by
Look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want
Maybe sometimes then you don't
But leave your mind alone and just get high

Well by and by, way after many years have gone
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone
We'll raise our children in the peaceful way we can
It's up to you and me brother
To try and try again

Well, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes
Runnin' after subway trains
Don't forget the pouring rain

When The Wind Blows In Chicago


When The Wind Blows In Chicago
Composer(s): Scott Turner; Audie Murphy
Performer(s): Roy Clark; - 1964
Bobby Bare; Eddy Arnold



Well, here I am in Chicago
All alone, near the place where we met
And as I walk through the rain, the wind whispers your name
Oh, why won't it let me forget

'Cause when the wind blows I get lonely
And one thing for sure you will find
That the wind always blows in Chicago
So I'm lonely most all of the time

Well, folks look so happy here on State Street
They don't know that our love's not the same
I'm alone in the crowd with my hopes in the clouds
'Cause the wind just whispers your name

And when the wind blows I get lonely
And one thing for sure you will find
That the wind always blows in Chicago
Oh, so I'm lonely most all of the time

Well, I'm saying goodbye to Chicago
I'm gonna catch a lonely old train
And I hope that it goes where the wind doesn't blow
Or at least it won't whisper your name

'Cause when the wind blows I get lonely
And one thing for sure you will find
That the wind always blows in Chicago
So I'm lonely most all of the time

Ain't Too Proud To Beg


Ain't Too Proud To Beg
Composer(s): Norman Whitfield - Eddie Holland
First release by: The Temptations - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I know you wanna leave me
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy
I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me

Ain't too proud to beg, and you know it (sweet darlin')
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)

Now I heard a cryin' man is half a man
With no sense of pride
But if I have to cry to keep you, I don't mind weepin'
If it'll keep you by my side

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)

If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day
Just to keep you from walking away
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand
'Cause I wanna keep you anyway I can

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)

Now I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart
And each day it grows more and more
I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door

Ain't too proud to beg, yes you know it (sweet darlin')
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Baby, baby, baby (sweet darlin')
Please don't leave me, girl

When The Twilight Comes To Kiss The Rose "Good-Night"


When The Twilight Comes To Kiss The Rose "Good-Night"
Composer(s): Robert F. Roden; Henry W. Petrie



Near a rose bush down in Dixie I am dreaming
the leaves of time I'm turning over and over
and I see you once again with fond eyes gleaming
while the nightingale sings love's sweet song
Lenore, my lost Lenore
The twilight comes to kiss the rose "Good-Night!" dear
as in the golden days of "Auld Lang Syne"
and it seems to me I see love's tender light, dear
in the Southern eyes that once were mine, all mine!

Tho' the garden is deserted now, my dearie
the rose bush blooms as in the days of yore
tho' to me the wide, wide world seems mighty dreary
my fond heart still holds the old love
sweet Lenore, my lost Lenore
I wonder if the love that was denied me
still guides your footsteps thro' the world a right
or if sometimes, dear, you long to be beside me
when the twilight comes to kiss the rose "Goodnight!"

When the twilight comes to kiss the rose "Goodnight!"
and the stars, like jewels, gleam with silvry light
I can see the love light shine
once again you're mine all mine
when the twilight comes to kiss the rose "Goodnight!"

Ain't Too Good


Ain't Too Good
Composer(s): Rory Gallagher
Performer(s): Rory Gallagher



Well, it ain't too good
The way you treat your man
It's less than good
It sure ain't kind
It's your mistake
You'll see in time
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Well, it's been so long
Since I felt that glow
The flame was bright
But it's burning low
I should be gone
But I'm slow to go
Serves me right, serves me.....

It doesn't seem clear
What happens from here and now
You've called the tune, but maybe soon
Someone must pay for the piper

Well, it ain't too late
To change your mind
For it's time you knew
Just where I stand
Well, let me know
'Cause I got plans
From now on, from now on, from now on

When The Turkey In The Straw Danced The Chicken Reel


When The Turkey In The Straw Danced The Chicken Reel
Composer(s): J. Will Callahan; F. Henri Klickmann



In a barnyard far away
All the fowls assembled on a summer day
Just to give a barnyard dance
Tried to put the farmers in a barnyard trance
All the rubes for miles around
Came to see them shuffle there upon the ground

Old Si Jones in overalls
Always won the ribbon at the barnyard balls
Came that day with Aunt Suzanne
Frisky as a bullfrog in a fryin' pan
Said, "By Gosh, just turn me loose"
Crack'd his heels together yellin'
"Come on, Suze"

All the old hens cackled and the young ducks quacked
And the rooster all began to crow
The little chickens stood there in a row
"Keep your feet a-movin'," you could hear the farmers yell
And the old cow hid behind the old hay stack
But the pigs just grunted kind o' low
As they stood there lookin' at the show
When the turkey in the straw danced the chicken reel

Ain't There Anyone Here For Love?


Ain't There Anyone Here For Love?
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Harold Adamson
Performer(s): Jane Russell; Klea Blackhurst




I can't play tennis
My golf's a menace
I just can't do the Australian crawl
And I'm no better at volleyball
Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love
Ain't there anyone here for love?

I'm apathetic
and non-athletic
Can't keep up in a marathon
I need some shoulder to lean upon
And a couple of arms to hold me
Ain't there anyone here for love?

I'm not in condition to wrestle
I've never trained in a gym
Show me a man who can nestle
And I'll pin a medal on him

I need some chappy
To make me happy
And he don't need to be Hercules
Don't anyone know about birds and bees
Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love
Ain't there anyone here for love?

When The Thought Of You Catches Up With Me


When The Thought Of You Catches Up With Me
Composer(s): David Ball
Performer(s): David Ball



It can happen any moment
Without reason or rhyme
It might be right around the corner
Or it'll come up from behind
A picture that I thought would fade
That I still clearly see
When the thought of you catches up with me

It can happen on a Sunday drive
The sky above a shade of blue
Headin' down some lonesome highway
Then you come into view
Mile after mile goes by
But you're all I see
When the thought of you catches up with me

When the thought of you comes to mind
It'll carry me away to a better place in time

It can happen in the dead of night
Or any day of the week
Sometimes you'll come find me
When I'm in bed asleep
And I'll have that dream about you
And I sure love what I see
When the thought of you catches up with me

When the thought of you catches up with me

When the thought of you catches up with me

When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day you promised to come back to me
When you whispered, "Farewell", in Capistrano
Twas the day the swallow flew out to sea

The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that you'll come back to me

That's the day I pray that you'll come back to me

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

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

Vows we make will last forever more

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'
