All My Love (Dr. Feelgood)


All My Love
Composer(s): Wilko Johnson
Performer(s): Dr. Feelgood



Well well well
I thought I heard it raining
All my love trouble in my mind
Lay awake all night
Till the morning light came shining through the blind

Well well well
How long did money hold you
If all my love can't keep you by my side
Everything you need lying at your feet
And you won't be satisfied

Big bell ring
Somebody gotta go now
Rolling slow drivers dressed in black
As they passin' through start to think of you
And all my love comes back

All my love
Gone but not forgotten
Hate you now when I think of what you've done
I can't fool myself using someone else
You're the only one

Why Can't He Be You


Why Can't He Be You
Composer(s): Hank Cochran
Performer(s): Patsy Cline;
Norah Jones; Loretta Lynn; Reba McEntire



He takes me to the places you and I used to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that I never got from you
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you

He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
And I'm lucky to have such a guy; I hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me, too, his love is true
Why can't he be you

He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul
And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know
But his kisses leave me cold

He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love
And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you

Composer(s): Monti Arduini - Peter Callander
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



All my love,came to nothing and oh! my love
When I woke up to find,you were no longer mine

All my love, thrown away after all this time
Now there's no place for me, in the future you see

I don't understand you
I've done all I can do
tell me how could I give you more, more than...

All my love... (repeat)

Why Can't I?


Why Can’t I?
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Doris Day & Martha Raye



(DD)
Feeling the way I do
I’d like to say I do
Heaving a heavenly sigh
Everybody has someone, why can’t I?

(MR)
You’d like to say I do
I’d like to say it, too
Nature is hard to deny
Even old maids find a burglar
Well, why can’t I?

(DD)
Should girls be good girls? – I think they should
(MR)
Well then, I, I need a good man to make me be good
Ho, ho, ho
(DD)
Two feet are ever cold
(MR)
Four feet are never cold…
…Well, I only mean to imply
(DD)
Everybody has someone
(Both)
Everybody has someone

(MR) Romeo had Juliet
(DD) Hero had Leander
(MR) Every heffer has her bull
(DD) And every goose her gander
(MR) Every stallion has his flea
(DD) And every nanny goat has her belee
(MR) Ducks have drakes
(DD) And lambs have ewes
(Both) All the best things come in twos
Everybody has someone
Why can’t I?

Truck Drivin' Son-Of-A-Gun


Truck Drivin' Son-Of-A-Gun
Composer(s): Dixie Dean - Robert A. King
First recording/First release by: Dave Dudley - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



I got a cute little gal in ev'ry eastern town from Boston to St Lou
There's some that I don't even know but I'm a lookin' forward to
'Cause I like my women everwhere I go
So roll on big wheels don't you roll so slow

Peggy Ann is a waitin' in Memphis and Betty Lou in Maine
I got a good ole gal in Knoxville but man I forgot her name
But not her figure I remember that
Yeah I'm a kiss stealin' a wheelin' deelin' a truck drivin' son of a gun

Well there goes Joe flyin' low pickin' up his time
But where I sit I don't believe you'd say I'm wastin' mine
I'm movin' faster than a Jimmy-8
If you think I'm losin' time you're runnin' late

I got a steady little baby waitin' back home for me
But there are six more towns to go till I'm back in Tennessee
And six more women at least I know
Yeah I'm a kiss stealin' a wheelin' deelin' a truck drivin' son of a gun

Why Build A Wall 'Round A Graveyard?


Why Build A Wall 'Round A Graveyard?
Composer(s): Leslie Sarony
Performer(s): Leslie Sarony;
and various other artists



Here's a contortionist, Filleted Pete
Tried only too well to make both his ends meet

Charlie the taximan lies over there
Wherever he's gone to, he'll say it's "No Fare"

Here lies a heavyweight under the ground
With a circular saw only lasted one round

Here lies a butcher named Timothy Wights
A nice piece of skirt quickly put out his lights

R - I - P, that's another good feller gone west
R - I - P, with a blinkin' great slab on his chest

So......

Why build a wall 'round a graveyard
When nobody wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard
When nobody wants to get out?
They say its a beautiful haven of rest
But you know that you'll be a permanent guest
So, why build a wall round a graveyard
When nobody wants to get in?

Why build a wall round a graveyard
When no body wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard
When no body wants to get out?
"You're not dead but sleeping", they put it with care
But no body calls you at nini o'clock there
So, why build a wall round a graveyard
When no body wants to get out?

Vietnam Blues


Vietnam Blues
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Dave Dudley; Autry Inman; Robert Pete Williams



I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a hungry dog
In that crazy place called Washington DC
I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signes about VietNam
So I went over to see what was goin' on
It was a strange looking bunch but then I never could understand some people
Oh a fellow came to me with a list in his hand he said we're gatherin' names to send
The telegram of sympathy then he handed me a pen
I said I reckon this is goin' to kids and wives
My friends over there who're givin' their lives
He said ah ah buddy this is goin' to Ho-Chi-Min
I said Ho-Chi who he said Ho-Chi-Min people's leader North VietNam
Oh I wasn't really sure I was hearin' him right
I though I'd better move before I got in a fight
Cause my ears were hurtin' and my ball started hit my lick
Then I thought of another telegram that I've just read
Tellin' my buddy's wife that her husband was dead
It wasn't too long till I was feelin' downright sick
Another held the sign that said we won't fight
I thought to myself boy ain't that right
To leave a lot of our soldiers die instead
I said it's a shame that every man who ever died up there that far off land
Was dyin' for that you wouldn't have to wake up dead
Course he looked at me like I was kinda crazy just another warmonger
Oh I left that place and I went downtown and hit first bar that I'd found
To cool myself off and pacify my brain
You see I was on orders to VietNam little old place just north to Saigon
Had about an hour to catch myself a plane
So all I mean to say is I don't like dyin' either but man I ain't gonna craw

Why Baby Why


Why Baby Why
Composer(s): Darrell Edwards; George Jones; Leon Payne
Originally performed by: George Jones
Covered by various other artists



Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
But tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're runnin' wild a-kickin' up your heels
A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
I can't live without you and you know it's true
But there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
No, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well, now I don't know, but I've heard say
That ev'ry little dog is a-gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
Lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why

All My Love (Al Jolson)


All My Love
Composer(s): Harry Akst - Saul Chaplin - Al Jolson
Performer(s): Al Jolson



All my love is for you alone
It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown!
All my love is for ever new
It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!

As the years unfold, they can only bring
Just the constant joy of an endless Spring
And our dreams untold that are so ideal
Will all fade as we make them real!

I promise this by the stars above
Hear that I'll spend my life giving you all my love!

All my love is for you alone
It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown!
All my love is for ever new
It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!

Why (Tina Charles)


Why
Composer(s): Appaiah Biddu
Performer(s): Tina Charles



Why does my heart feel this way
Everytime you walk by it's always
The same oh why do I tremble with it
Send a shiver through my skin
Is this how loves begins why
Does this feeling exists I'm unable
To resist what's happening to me

Why do I feel so alike and our being makes
Me rise by the stars in your eyes
I can't stop don't wanna stop what's going
Through me like a kitten up a tree want you
come and rescue me

Why does this feeling accured it is something
You start deep within me
Oh why do I trip on more time give a certains
I am dying now I know your why

Why does my heart beat his way everytime you
Walk by it's always the same
Oh why do I tremble with it send a shiver
Through my skin is this how loves begins
Why oh why

All My Life (Uriah Heep)


All My Life
Composer(s): Mick Box - David Byron - Lee Kerslake
Performer(s): Uriah Heep



I had a little look
For a minute today
And I told there was something
That I wanted to say

Just sitting there glowing
With her red light on
So I've gotta make fast
And it shouldn't take long

Maybe she will
Maybe she won't
We can get it so together
If she doesn't say don't

I've never ever thought
I was looking for a wife
But I think I could love her
For the rest of my life

I only took one ‘cause
I couldn't take two
I wanna make love
And it's gotta be you

Every little thing that
I ever tried to say
Is coming out right
In my own kinda way

Take it, make it
It really feels fine
She must be Lady Luck
If she's gonna be mine

I will love you all my life

Am I really here in your arms
Its just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see

Hey, I've looked
All my Life for you
And now you're here

Asked for a little help from above
Send that angel down to me

All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent
All my Life with you
All my Life

I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
I never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
and this love will never leave
I know
I know

Hey, I've looked
All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent
All my Life with you

All my Life

Hey, I've looked
All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent
All my Life with you

All my life
I've been waiting for you
My wonderful one
I've begun
Living all my life

A heart that's an open book

Hold me close to your heart
But all else above
Hold my love
Darling, just hold my love

Whose Shoulder Will You Cry On


Whose Shoulder Will You Cry On
Composer(s): Billy Wallace; Kitty Wells
Performer(s): Kitty Wells;
and various other artists



Once you were my life and breath and you rode your free horse to death
Oh you trifled around too much then you lost your loving touch
Now whose shoulder will you cry on
You didn't love me all alone cause you can't love and do me wrong
I don't trust you no more so go knock on another's door
And whose shoulder will you cry on

Just let those hot tears burn your eyes they're just payments on the line
That made a wreck of me from that chain I've been set free
Now whose shoulder will you cry on
You didn't love me all alone...

Why am I so hot and crazy over you
What is it you’ve got or what is it you do
Every blessed hour I wonder as to whether
There’s anybody else or could we get together

Whose little whats-it are you
Who is your own boogie boo
Oh don’t be shy
Who’s you sweetie pie
Who’s the little ickle
That you love to slap and tickle
Tell me, whose little whats-it are you
Whose little coochie-coo
Here’s a gal who’s looking for a pal
Whose little whats-it are you

All My Hard Times


All My Hard Times
Composer(s): Joe South
Performer(s): Roy Drusky; Joe South



All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over

I've been pushed and I've been shoved
Been put down by the people I love
I've been hurt and I've been scorned
At times I've wished I'd never been born, but...

All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over

I was raised in a two room shack
the only thing I owned was hanging on my back
Been in trouble, thrown in jail
I had nobody to draw my bail, but...

All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over

I been lost, but now I'm found
There ain't no way to keep a good man down
You came along and took my hand
And now I feel like a newborn man and...

All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over

Who's Zoomin' Who?


Who's Zoomin' Who?
Composer(s): Narada Michael Walden;
Preston Glass; Aretha Franklin
Performer(s): Aretha Franklin



You walked in on the sly
Scopin' for love
In the crowd, I caught your eye
You can't hide your stuff

You came to catch
You thought I'd be naive and tame
You met your match
I beat you at your own game

(chorus)
Who's zoomin' who, take another look, tell me baby
Who's zoomin who...oh
Who's zoomin' who, now the fish jumped off the hook
Didn't I baby...Who's zoomin' who (repeat)

Guess you believed the world
Played by your rules
Here stands an experienced girl
Nobody's fool...

Don't speculate
you thought you had me covered, but
I've got your bait
You're bound to be my lover...oh
(chorus)

You think you're smooth
That you can pick and choose
When the time is right...
But, just look behind, you'll be surprised to find
I'm gonna make you mine tonight...oh
(chorus)

Who's your little who-zis
Who's your turtle dove
Who's your little who-zis
Who do you love

Who's the little what's-it

Who's your little who-zis
Who do you love

Tell me, who has you a-flutter
Whenever they're passing by
Melts your little heart like butter
Oh me, oh my

Say, when you get the blue-zis
Who you thinking of
Who's your little who-zis
Who do you love
