I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew


I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
First release by: Tom T. Hall - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



The first strange town I was ever in
The county was hangin' a man
Nobody cared if he lived or died
And I just didn't understand

So I washed my face in the morning dew
Bathed my soul in the sun
Washed my face in the morning dew
And kept on movin' along

The second strange town that I was in
They were laughin' at a poor crippled man
Beggin' for nickels and dimes on the street
And I just didn't understand

So I washed my face in the morning dew
Bathed my soul in the sun
Washed my face in the morning dew
And kept on movin' along

The third strange town that I was in
Was settled, peaceful and nice
The rich got richer and the poor got poorer
And to me it didn't seem right

So I washed my face in the morning dew
Bathed my soul in the sun
Washed my face in the morning dew
And kept on movin' along

Someday times are bound to change
It can't be very far
And each injustice I have seen
Will come before the bar

Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew
Bathe my soul in the sun
Wash my face in the morning dew
And my journey will be done
Then my journey will be done

Woman love, hey hey hey, woman love, hey hey
Woman love, hey hey hey, woman love, hey hey

Well I went to my good doctor not so long ago
A-walkin’ in a circle and moanin’ low
He looked at me and said, good lord above, son
You need a vaccination of a-woman love

Well I’m lookin’ for a woman with a one track mind
A huggin’ and a kissin’ and a smoochin’ all the time
I’d build her a castle to the moon up above
I sure am a needin’ me some woman love (let’s rock)

We’ll I’m lookin’ for a lovin’ gal that needs a lot of care
Not worried about her figure or the color of her hair
The doctor really scared me when he said, good lord above
You sure am a-needin’ you some woman love

Well I’m tired of walkin’ circles, tired of moanin’ low
I want my baby with me everywhere I go
I want my lovin’ baby to call him turtle dove
I sure am a-needin’ me some woman love (let’s rock again)

Well I’m tired of walkin’ circles, tired of moanin’ low
I want my baby with me everywhere I go

I sure am a-needin’ me some woman love

Woman love, hey hey hey, woman love, hey hey
Woman love, hey hey hey, woman love, hey hey
Woman love, hey hey hey, woman love, hey hey

Well I know where you're goin' and who's gonna meet you there
I know how late you'll be comin' home but guess who doesn't care

But I'll be busy packin' while you're holding her near
Happy birthday merry Christmas and happy New Year

Woman Is The Nigger Of The World


Woman Is The Nigger Of The World
Composer(s): John Lennon; Yoko Ono
Performer(s): John Lennon; Cássia Eller



Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is... think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it... do something about it

We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she's above us

Woman is the nigger of the world.. yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeh... better scream about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of the world... yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeh (think about it)

We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young, we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart
We put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes, she is...
If you believe me, you better scream about it

We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

Boy Like You


Boy Like You (aka Girl Like You)
Composer(s): Tompall Glaser
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



There's a jukebox in my ear playin' so loud I can hardly hear
It's tellin' a story about a boy like you
And each selection that I make tells me how my heart will break
For fallin' in love with a boy like you

Though it's just an ol' machine without a heart but oh so mean
It says I'll prob'ly spend my whole life feelin' blue
So I'll put in one more dime and play that same song one more time
'Cause I wanna hear about a boy like you

Though it's just an ol' machine without a heart but oh so mean
It says I'll prob'ly spend my whole life feelin' blue
I know that I should go on home but I can't stand to be alone
'Cause I always dream about a boy like you
Yes I always dream about a boy like you

Woman In Love (Barbra Streisand)


Woman In Love
Composer(s): Robin Gibb - Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb
First release by: Barbra Streisand - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1980 - Une Femme Amoureuse (by Mireille Mathieu)
1981 - To Je Štestí (by Helena Vondrácková)



Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning goodbye
But down inside you know
We never know why
The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all...

I am a woman in love
And I do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

With you eternally mine
In love there is
No measure of time
We planned it all at the start
That you and I
Would live in each other's hearts
We may be oceans away
You feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

I am a woman in love
And I'm talking to you
Do you know how it feels?
What a woman can do
It's a right
That I defend over and over again......

I Hope I Never Love That Much Again


I Hope I Never Love That Much Again
Composer(s): Roy Baham)
Performer(s): Dave Dudley



I know just how great love can be, I loved so much one time
I know how it hurts to see it end
I've had my share and if I live to be a hundred years
I hope I never love that much again

The bigger the love, the harder the fall
And it takes a long time for a heart to mend
If there should ever come a time when I could love at all
I hope I never love that much again

I loved her more than life itself, she was ev'rything to me
For I believed in life and love back then
If I can just forget she's gone, if her mem'ry sets me free
I hope I never love that much again

The bigger the love, the harder the fall
And it takes a long time for a heart to mend
If there should ever come a time when I could love at all
I hope I never love that much again
I hope I never love that much again

Woman In Chains
Composer(s): Roland Orzabal
Original Performers: Tears for Fears
Covered by various other artists



You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Calls her man the Great White Hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

Trades her soul as skin and bone
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Men of Stone Men of Stone

Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds Time can't heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it a part but I won't understand
I will not accept the Greatness of Man

It's a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

Always Unknowing


Always Unknowing
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
Performer(s): Roxy Music



Following the morning star
But there´s no sense
In always running
Take what you want to know
Just give me time
Always unknowing
World passing by
That´s how it looks
Always unknowing
Don´t you leave my side
There is no sense
In always running
Just one more time
Is all I need
Always unknowing
Hold back tonight
With your sight
Always unknowing

Woman In Black


Woman In Black
Composer(s): Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner



I knew the moment
I walked through that door
I felt so close to a burning sensation
It got so warm
As I moved across the floor
My body aching with anticipation

I saw a dark silhouette, at the table
I tried to talk, but I was unable
She drew me in right under her spell
I was hypnotized by the sudden temptation

Of that woman in black, she's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
Woman in black, she's got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free

She is a woman
She's not a girl anymore
The kind that stirs up a young man's imagination
She's dressed to kill
And I'm so ready to fall
Into her world full of strange fascination

I see that dark silhouette, at the table
I can't resist, my body's not able
She draws me in, but she teaches me well
I never need any explanation

From that woman in black, she's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
I said, woman in black, got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free

Ooh, woman in black
It's too late now
I can't turn back
'Cause I'm a fool for that woman
Woman in black
Ooh, ooh, woman in black

Ooh, that woman in black, she's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
That woman in black, she's got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free

She's my mysterious mistress
But she leaves me so helpless
My woman in black
She's a dark senorita
My woman in black
No Sunday school teacher
My woman in black
We're keeping it a secret
We meet in the night
We're partners in silence
Strangers in daylight

Always Have, Always Will (Paul Carrack)


Always Have, Always Will
Performer(s): Paul Carrack



If you're wondering if your love
Will stand the test of time
I'm here to tell you I can put your mind at ease
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world that could ever make me leave

How could I ever walk away
Darlin' I need your love each and every day

Always have, always will
If you should ask me do I love you still
Without shame without blame
I always have and always will
I always have and always will

I remember, there were times
When my heart could not conceive
Something so beautiful bould happen in this life
A precious gift to me worth and sacrifice
There is no doubt or mystery
It's obvious that you mean everything to me

Always have, always will

It was almost like your heart called out my name
I was helpless from the start
I knew right there and then I'd never be the same
Never never
I'd never be the same

Woman Down In Memphis


Woman Down In Memphis
Composer(s): Carson J. Robison; Frank Luther
Performer(s): The Red Clay Ramblers



Woman down in Memphis
Bought myself a forty-four
Listen to my warning
Stay away from my front door
Gone and thought the whole thing over
Now I know you had me blind
Oh! Woman down in Memphis
Goin' to get you off my mind

Woman down in Memphis
Told me that your love was true
Said that we would soon get married
Said you'd always do me right
Oh! Woman, you was triflin'
Soon as I was out of sight

I went to the doctor
Asked him what was wrong with me
Said I'd have to leave this country
Get away from Memphis town
Oh! He said I'd been grievin'
'Till my health was all broke down

Woman down in Memphis
Listen to my lonesome song
Woman down in Memphis
Won't be singin' very long
When they take me to the graveyard
Lay me in the cold cold ground
Oh! Woman down in Memphis
Hope the Lord will strike you down

Always Have, Always Will (Janie Fricke)


Always Have, Always Will
Composer(s): Johnny Mears
Performer(s): Janie Fricke



It seems funny I remember your number
After all this time
And I know that it's late
And I hope that I'm not out o' line

But for some crazy reason
I bin thinkin' 'bout you all day
And every three hours now
I bin thinkin' of somethin' to say I

love you like a fool
Always have, always will
But you know that it's just my point of view
But I love you still
Always have, always will
Always have, always will love you

Well now, are you sleepin' any better
Now that I'm gone
And I wanna know who's holdin' you tight
Or are you just holdin' on

You're awfully quiet, I guess you're tired
So I'll hang up the phone
But you know that this ol' heart
Can't leave well enough alone

I love you like a fool
Always have, always will
But you know, yes you know that it's just my point of view
But I, I love you still
Always have, always will
Always have, always will love you

Woman (Uh-Huh)


Woman (Uh-Huh)
Composer(s): Dick Gleason
Performer(s): José Ferrer & Rosemary Clooney;
Johnny Desmond



Ferrer:
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary

A woman is something both evil and good
But too complicated to be understood
An angel when lovin', a devil when mad
A woman can make you both happy and sad

Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary

Afraid of a cricket, she'll scream at a mouse
But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house
She'll take him for better, she'll take him for worse
She'll bust his head open and then be his nurse

Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary

She's bashful, deceitful, keen sighted and blind
Simple and crafty, and cruel and kind
In the morning she does, in the evening she don't
You're always a thinkin' she will, but she won't

Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Ha-ha-ha)
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary

Clooney:
Girls, turn this record over and listen to the Wife's side!

Woman (Peter & Gordon)


Woman
Composer(s): Bernard "Boogie Bill" Webb (aka Paul McCartney)
Performer(s): Peter & Gordon



Woman do you love me?
Woman if you need me then believe me
I need you to be my woman

Woman do you love me?
Woman if you need me then believe me
I need you to be my woman

And should you ask me how I'm doing
what shall I say, things are O.K.
Well I know that they're not
and I still may have lost you

Woman do you love me?
Woman if you need me then believe me
I need you to be my woman

And should you take your time and tell me
when we're alone, love will come home
I would give up my world
if you'll say that my girl is my woman

I've got plenty of time
help me just to get through it
Once again you'll be mine
I still think we can do it
And you know how much I love you

Woman don't forsake me
Woman if you take me then believe me
I'll take you to be my woman

First release by: Heatwave - 1976

Always and forever
Each moment with you is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true
And I know tomorrow will still be the same
Cos' we've got a life of love that won't ever change

And every day love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And feel sad tomorrow together

There'll always be sunshine when I look at you
Something I can't explain, just the things that you do
And if you get lonely, phone me
And take a second to give to me the magic you make

(For the other half of the sky)

Woman I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm forever in your debt
And woman I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside of the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Woman please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah

Wolverton Mountain


Wolverton Mountain
Composer(s): Merle Kilgore; Claude King
Original Performer: Claude King
Covered by various other artists



They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
'Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton mountain protects her there
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there

All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife
I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clowers, he may take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton mountain protects her there
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there

I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain
It's too lonesome down here below
It's just not right to hide his daughter
From the one who loves her so

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton mountain protects her there
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there

But I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain
I'm gonna take the girl I love
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm a gonna climb up on that mountain
And I'll get the one I Iove
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna find the one I love
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna find the one I love
I'm gonna find the one I love
