When You're Good You're Lonesome
When You're Good You're Lonesome
Composer(s): Grace Doro
Performer(s): Edythe Baker
I feel so sad and lonely I wish I knew just why
Every one is happy
While all I do is sigh
I walk the straight and narrow path
I'm good as I can be
Maybe that's just what is wrong
For it seems to me
My mother always told me "Be very, very good"
I took her advice
Like a good child always should
I went to bed at eight o'clock
But what did that get me?
I have missed an awful lot
Now I plainly see
When you are good, you're so lonesome
And when you're lonesome you're blue
Sometimes it seems very hard to believe
Every dark cloud has a silver lining
I think it'll get me a sweetie who'll make a fuss over me
Just love and pet me all the day
Then I'll never have to say
When you are good you're so lonesome
And when you're lonesome you're blue

Alacrán (Resaca)
Alacrán (Resaca)
Performer(s): Fito Páez
Habíamos bebido la noche sin parar
estaban casi todos
en el medio de aquel bar
no se por que querían
seguirla en un hotel
había tres o cuatro
disfrazados de mujer
pero ahora, ahora
estabamos reunidos
en lo de un esquimal
casi todos los chiflados
dos jirafas y un sultán
yo tengo una teoría
y vos un alacrán
después de tanta cosa
es mejor, es mejor no bailar
pero ahora, ahora
tengo resaca, resaca
un tipo me seguía
en una fiesta gay
trataban solo un tema
como es la primera vez
no tuve mas remedio
que ponerme a beber
después salí corriendo
y en un bar me emborrache
pero ahora, ahora
ya no estas muerta
habíamos vaciado mas de la mitad
yo había visto un tajo
y quería mas y mas
pedía que pedía
y no sabia que
botella por botella
y ya no es un tajo
sino tres
pero ahora, ahora
solo tengo resaca, resaca
ya no estas muerta
ya no estas muerta
confirmado
lo hacia sin parar
se seca la garganta
y no se puede respirar
pero un día
ya no estabas vos
y yo como un suicida
en esta mierda el rock & roll
pero ahora, pero ahora, tengo resaca
habíamos cogido
el día sin parar
habíamos fumado
y ya no hay nada que fumar
en medio de aquel viento
nadie mas que yo
y algunos afiebrados
que se esconden de este sol
pero ahora,
pero ahora
ya no estas muerta

When You're A Long, Long Way From Home
When You're A Long, Long Way From Home
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Geo. W. Meyer
Performer(s): Harry James;
and various other artists
I know where the sun is shining
I know where someone is pining
just a simple pal a country gal
I know she's true
What's the use of tears and sighing
after many years of trying
guess I'm going home no more to roam
I'm feeling blue
When I leave this town I'll hurry
where they never frown or worry
when I say goodbye no one will sigh
when I am gone give me back the brooks
and clover with those shady nooks
all over I could be content without a cent
where I was born
When you're a long long way from home
it makes you feel like you're alone
it's hard to find a pal that's true
that you can tell your troubles to
and when you send a letter home
your mother's voice rings in your ears
and then you cross the T's with kisses
what a strange world this is
then you dot the I's with tears
and all the sunshine turns to gloom
when you're a long way from home

Alabanzas
Alabanzas
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Alabada sea la mano
buena para remediar
Alabado el olvidado
alabado el olvidado
en cualquier rincón del mar
Alabado sea el dolor
lumbre de profundidad
Alabado el amor
aunque sea necesidad
Cada vez
son más enanos los talvez
y crece la condenación
de los así será
Los perdidos reinventan la ocasión
del colmillo animal
Alabado el todavía
que me sirve una canción
Alabado cada día
alabado cada día
de labor e ilustración
Alabada la verdad
como material de luz
Alabada mi ciudad
cuando baja de la cruz
Poco amor
el verdadero da dolor
La voz de las antenas va
sustituyendo al dios
Cuando finalice la mutación
nueva edad media habrá
Quien ayer me daba un beso
ahora me trata de usted
Yo no quiero aprender eso
yo no quiero aprender eso
ni al derecho ni al revés
Búsquenme la buena mano
necesito el curador
Después de haber sido hermano
es muy triste ser señor

Er Kan Altijd Nog Een Tandje Bij
Er Kan Altijd Nog Een Tandje Bij
Composer(s): Bart Peeters
Performer(s): Bart Peeters
'k Had een vriendin die bij de turnkring was
ze had een slangelijf
Dat kwam soms goed van pas
ja dat stond buiten kijf
Ik zei "leve de Kamasutra"
maar mag ik nu weer vrij
Weet je wat mijn vriendin toen zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
dat was wat mijn turnkringlief toen zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
Ik liep te joggen in het park
er hing nog mist
Ik botste op een stijve hark
een exhibitionist
Ik vroeg heb je het niet koud in die barrige kledij
weet je wat die exhibitionist toen zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
dat was wat die exhibitionist toen zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
Ik richt mij soms tot God de heer
Al zegt Hij nooit iets terug
Dan zeg ik God ik ben het weer
ik roddel nooit achter u rug
Dan maakt die rotellende hier op aarde U nog blij
dan denk ik soms alsof hij zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
dan lijkt het soms alsof hij smilend zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
dan lijkt het soms alsof hij smilend zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij

When You're A Free Man
When You're A Free Man
Composer(s): Mike Pinder
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Time... quickly passes by
If only we could talk again
Someday I (hope) I'll see you smiling
When you're a free man again
High... on a mountain side
We laughed and talked of things to come
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again
You left your country for peace of mind
And something tells me you're doin' alright
How are the children and Rosemarie
I long to see you
And be in your company
Someday I (hope) I'll see you smiling
When you're a free man again
I often wonder why
Our world has gone so far astray
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again
You gave love freely to those with tears
Your eyes were sad (when) you saw (their) need
You know that love lasts for eternity
Let's be God's children
And live in perfect peace
Peace perfect peace
Perfect peace
Peace
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When you're a free man
When we're all free men again
When you're a free man

Alabama Soft Spoken Blues
Alabama Soft Spoken Blues
Composer(s): Maggie Graham - Nanci Griffith
Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
Southern man, you sure are pretty
got a smile to still the city
And Lord, you know, you got those sleepy eyes
Alabama sweet-talking baby
calmed the heart of a lonely lady
You kept me flying high
and the leaving easy
And it's Dallas in the rain
and I was dreaming
October winds still blowing, Lord
you know the song were flowing
From a broken-hearted lady
by the wayside
Listen to my song, you
kept it ringing clean and strong
You held me like an angel
to confide in
And I tried to make you home
But I was dreaming
Lord, I guess you just ain't home
that damned old telephone
Is trying hard to help me find the lines here.
Wish that you could understand
why I love the other man
He gives me truth and reason
I believe in
Alabama soft-spoken blues again
Alabama soft-spoken blues again
Early morning fog is rolling in
time for leaving
Alabama soft-spoken blues

When You're 21
When You're 21
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins
Now, y'was just a young fellah, Son
The night your poor Mama died
And you don't remember it now
Why, we was both right there by Mama's side
Ya see, your Ma had this sickness, Boy
From all the hard work she'd done
And she prayed all of her life
That God would let her raise her baby to be twenty-one
Aw, me and you never moved into town, Boy
We just kept on livin' out here
And life's been pretty bad
For the past twenty-one years
Aw, I remember now when you was a little fellah
And I used to take my boy to church
And I seen you in the choir with them other young'uns
And it gave this heart a jerk
Ah, you sounded like a little bitty angel, Boy
And to Papa you sure did look sweet
Even though your little ragged britches
They came half-way to your skinny little knees
After the service was all over
Aw, it always filled your Papa's heart with joy
The good Preacher'd step down
And he'd pat your little head and then he'd say
"Carlin, you've got yourself a fine little boy"
Then me and you'd get in the wagon, Child
And you'd look over towards me
And you know, you just smiled an'
Why, I'd hand you the lines,
And I'd let you drive for a little while
Oh I guess life has been tough
For me, and for you too Son
And I know tonight that I've prayed all of my life
That I could raise my baby to be twenty-one
So tonight, Son
Livin' the life down here is about over
And my work's on earth about done
Maybe now I'll get to go see the Lord and to live with your Mama
Aw, thank you Lord
'Cause tonight my baby is twenty-one
Precious, sacred scenes untold

Alabama Rain
Alabama Rain
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce
Lazy days in mid July, country sunday mornings
dusty haze on summer highways, sweet magnolia calling
Now and then I find myself thinking of the days
that we were walking in the Ala -- bama rain
Drive-in movies friday night, drinking beer and laughin'
somehow things were always right, just don't know what hap-pened
Now and then I find myself thinking of the days
that we were walking in the Ala -- bama rain
We were only kids but then, I never heard it said
that kids can't fall in love and feel the same
I can still remember the first time I told I loved you
On a dusty mid July, country summer's evening
a weeping willow sung its lullaby and shared our se - cret
Now and then I find myself thinking of the days
that we were walking in the Ala -- bama rain
that we were walking in the Ala -- bama rain

When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New
When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New
Composer(s): Bert Douglas; Charles McCarthy; Joseph Solieri
Performer(s): Jimmy Roselli;
and various other artists
Shades of night are falling
Bringing memories
Memories of a bygone day
Though it may be December
Though we're old and gray
To me you're still my blushing bride of May
When your old wedding ring was new
And each dream that we dreamed came true
I remember with pride how we stood side by side
What a beautiful picture you made as my bride
Even though silver crowns your hair
I can still see those gold ringlets there
Love's old flame is the same
As the day I changed your name
When your old wedding ring was new

Alabama Jubilee
Composer(s): George L. Cobb - Jack Yellen
Performer(s): Arthur Collins & Byron Harlan
and multiple other artists
You ought to see deacon Jones
When he rattles the bones
Old parson Brown foolin' 'roun like a clown
Aunt Jemima who is past eighty three
Shoutin' "I'm full o' pep!
Watch yo' step!, watch yo' step!
One legged Joe danced aroun' on his toe
Threw away his crutch and hollered, "let 'er go!"
Oh, honey, hail! hail! the gang's all here
For an Alabama jubilee
Mandolins, violins
Hear the darkies tunin' up, the fun begins
Come this way, don't delay
Better hurry, honey dear, or you'll be missin'
Music sweet, rag-time treat
Goes right to your head and trickles to your feet
It's a reminder, a memory finder
Of nights down in old Alabam'
Hear that flute, it's a beaut
And the tunes it's tootin', tootsie, ain't they cute?
Let's begin, it's a sin
To be missin' all this syncopated music!
Oh, you Jane, once again
Give your legs some exercise to that refrain
Boy, that's what makes me so dreamy and takes me
Back home to my old Alabam'

When Your Lover Has Gone
When Your Lover Has Gone
Composer(s): Einar Aaron Swan
Performer(s): Gene Austin;
and various other artists
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

32 teeth in a jawbone, Alabama trying for none
Before I have to hit him, I hope he's got the sense to run
Reason the poor girls love him, promise them everything
Why they all believe him?
He wears a big diamond ring
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me, ya just gotta leave and walk away
Major Domo Billy Bojangles, sit down and have a drink with me
"What's this about Alabama?
It keeps a coming back to me
Heard your plea in the courthouse
Witness box began to rock and rise
49 sister states all had Alabama in there eyes
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me, ya just gotta leave and walk away
Major said why don't we give him rope enough to hang himself?
No need to worry the jury, this kind takes care of themselves
23rd psalm Major Domo, reserve me a table for three
Down in the valley of the shadow, just you, Alabama, and me
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me, ya just gotta leave and walk away
