A Healer Like Time
A Healer Like Time
Composer(s): Hank Cochran
Performer(s): Eddie Cochran; Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys
My heart was a playground where you played about
When you got through playin' you just walked out
I thought when you left me, that I'd lose my mind
But now I've forgotten with a healer like time
They said I'd forget you, I thought they were wrong
I thought for a lifetime, my love would be strong
But now I've forgotten and you're out of my mind
Oh I'm so thankful for a healer like time
I used to remember the dreams that we knew
When your life was my life, your thoughts were mine too
But since we have parted, I've forgotten by far
Oh I'm so thankful for a healer like time

You're Still On My Mind
You're Still On My Mind
Composer(s): Luke McDaniel
Performer(s): George Jones;
and various other artists
The jukebox is playin' a honky-tonk song
"One more", I keep sayin', "and then I'll go home"
What good will it do me, I know what I'll find
An empty bottle, a broken heart and you're still on my mind
The people are dancin' and havin' their fun
And I sit here thinkin' about what you have done
To try and forget you, I've turned to the wine
An empty bottle, a broken heart and you're still on my mind
Alone and forsaken, so blue I could cry
I just sit here drinkin' till the bottle runs dry
What good will it do me, I know what I'll find
An empty bottle, a broken heart and you're still on my mind
An empty bottle, a broken heart and you're still on my mind

A Hazy Shade Of Winter
A Hazy Shade Of Winter
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Simon & Garfunkel - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
Time, time, time, see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the Salvation Army Band
Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned, carry a cup in your hand
Look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang onto your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say but if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again
Look around, grass is high
Fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with their scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
Look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

You're Still A Young Man
You're Still A Young Man
Composer(s): Emilio Castillo; Stephen Kupka
Performer(s): Tower Of Power;
Bloodstone; Jay Perez
You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time
You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time
Down on my knees
heart in hand
I was accused of being too young
but I'm not so young
Can't you understand
that I think like a man?
You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time
You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time
Back once again
begging you please
Darling, think twice about me
'cause I'm not so bad
I could make you happy
I'm not a mad lad
(You're too young to love)
If you and I could be together
(You're too young to love)
I'd get to you through any weather
(You're too young to love)
I love you and I love you only
(You're too young to love)
I'd never leave you lonely
You're too young, whoo-ooh,
don't waste your time
The damage is done
you'll see that you're wrong
You'll wake up wondering
just how well I've done
Well, I've done all right
Yes, there are some girls
but I'd drop them on sight
Just for you
because I love you
You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time...

A Hard Way To Go
A Hard Way To Go
Composer(s): Chris Youlden
First release by: Savoy Brown - 1970
Covered by: Tim Weisberg - 1971; Jake E. Lee - 2005
Ain't got time for doubts or fears
Ain't got time for shallow tears
Ain't got time to bare my soul
Because I still got a hard way to go
Said that you got a losing hand
Ain't no point in you raising sand
Ain't got time to bare your soul
Because I still got a hard way to go
And it's a crying shame
That you can't lay the blame
On anybody else but yourself
Wish that you had my sympathy
You ain't got no hold on me
And my heart is getting cold
And I still got a hard way to go
And it's a crying shame
That you can't lay the blame
On anybody else but yourself
And I still got a hard way to go

You're Some Pretty Doll
You're Some Pretty Doll
Composer(s): Clarence Williams
You're so pretty, oh! so pretty
You're some pretty doll
You've got the kind of eyes that seem to talk
They make me get so nervous that I have to walk
Oh! I love you, how I love you
More and more each day
You've got some smile, you're pretty too
And I've a million dollars that I'll spend on you
'Cause you're so pretty
Oh! so pretty
You're some pretty doll
Now listen Dolly, come over here
There's something I must whisper in your ear
You've got me hanging 'round you like a child
It seems as if you're goin' to drive me wild
These words I tell you are really true
And what I say I'll surely do
Oh! you're cute and handsome, I can't help but fall
You're just a perfect Doll
Your baby ways and your loving smile
It sets my heart jumping all the while
Those charming little curls and dimples too
They make me know that it is you, just you
I wonder if your dear heart is mine
If so, it is a joy divine
Oh! won't you tell me and put my heart at ease
Oh! for a loving squeeze
You're so pretty, oh! so pretty
You're some pretty doll
You've got the kind of eyes that seem to talk
They make me get so nervous that I have to walk
Oh! I love you, how I love you,
More and more each day
You've got some smile, you're pretty too
And I've a million dollars that I'll spend on you
'Cause you're so pretty
Oh! so pretty
You're some pretty doll

You've got the kind of eyes that seem to talk
They make me get so nervous that I have to walk
Oh! I love you, how I love you
More and more each day
You've got some smile, you're pretty too
Ive got a million dollars that I'll spend on you
'Cause you're so pretty, oh! o pretty
You're some pretty doll
Now that's the way my folks would always sing to me
When I was just a blossom on my family tree
But when I got around to datin' my first chick
This is what she said, an' did she spread it thick...
Hey! You're ugly, oh! so ugly
You're some ugly chile
The clothes you wear are not in style
You look like an ape every time you smile
How I hate you, you alligator bait, you
Why don't you lay down and die
How I hate you, you alligator bait, you
An' here's the reason why...
You're knock kneed, pigeon toed, box ankled
You're big foot, barefoot slue footed too
How'd they ever get a pair of shoes on you
Your short and squatty, just nobody
You're some Ugly Chile
What a joke on your family when along comes you
You're dippy, dappy, hey! slap happy
You're some Ugly Chile!

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

You're So Vain
You're So Vain
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon;
and various other artists
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and....
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
and that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and....
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all of the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and....
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

A Hard Nut To Crack
A Hard Nut To Crack
Composer(s): George Davis - Lee Diamond
Performer(s): Aaron Neville
I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you’re goin’ around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don’t know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
You’re a hard nut to crack
You take a strong man and break his back
I don’t know but I’ve been told, next to you my life’s been cold
You’re a demon, girl, you know you’re outta sight
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don’t know
Ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
Know the guy you’re giving my money
And you come home and call me honey
You look like you made a resolution
Took my best friend john and put him in an institution
You’re a demon, girl you know you’re outta sight
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don’t know
I ask the man from up above to help me to save your love
I want you
You’re a hard nut to crack

You're So Understanding
You're So Understanding
Composer(s): Ben Raleigh; Bernie Wayne
Performer(s): Evelyn Knight;
Blue Barron; Jerry Wayne; Dean Martin
You're so understanding
Whenever I feel blue
Whenever I need someone
I always run to you
You're so understanding
Whenever things go wrong
If I have you to cling to
They're not that way for long
As long as you are near me
My cares are far away
Your smile can always cheer me
Your kiss your touch can do so much
Oh, you're so understanding
In everything that you do
And Darling I will always
Be understanding too

You're So Sweet, Horseflies Keep Hangin' 'Round Your Face
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
And I guess it shows
Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane)
Oh what a fine name (what a fine name)
And you're nothing like them females
From Dover City
(nothin' at all)
Front teeth missin'
(hee, you got your front teeth missin')
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)
You're more loyal than my dog Sam
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)
You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
and I guess it shows
I can't forget (oh, no)
When we first met (first)
Well, it was bull wrestling time
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o)
And I almost cried (wept)
When you took first prize
(first prize, sweetheart)
Well
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go
(they never had a chance)
You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
and I guess it shows
You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
And I guess it shows

You're So Rude
Composer(s): Ian McLagan; Ronnie Lane
Performer(s): Faces
My mum she likes you, she thinks your swell
Got the makin's of a dance hall girl
Your low-cut frock and your bird's nest hair
Stiletto heels and the way that you swear
She says to take you back to see my folks again on Sunday
Why, it looks as though there's nobody in
They've all gone out to see my Auntie Renee
Don't you worry, you just come right in
I'm sure we'll pass the time til they come home
Well, let me take your coat, kick off your shoes
Warm your toes, try the sofa
Its getting dark, we'll miss the late night bus
It's only eight?
Well, I'm not takin' any chances.
Whats that noise? Why'd they come back so soon?
Straighten your dress you're really looking a mess
I'll wet my socks, pretend we just got caught in the rain
Oh, your so rude

Ach Vader Lief, Toe Drink Niet Meer
Ach Vader Lief, Toe Drink Niet Meer
Performer(s): Zangeres Zonder Naam
Ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer, ik vroeg het al zo menige keer
want moesje lief huilt telkens weer
ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer....
Een moeder zit stil bij 't fornuis
aan 't raam staat verdrietig haar kind
want nog steeds is vader niet thuis
omdat hij het weekloon verdrinkt
dan rent plots het kind door de kou
en hoort in een kroeg vader's stem
het pakt hem bedeesd bij zijn mouw
en vraagt dan met bevende stem
Ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer
ik vroeg het al zo menige keer
want moesje lief huilt telkens weer
oh vader lief, toe drink niet meer....
De man stoot het kind van zich af
dat valt met een smak op de grond
dan ziet hij vol schrik tot zijn straf
het hoofdje is bloedend verwond
vol schaamte brengt hij dan z'n kind
terug naar zijn huis en zijn vrouw
terwijl ze het hoofdje verbindt
zegt vader vol innig berouw
Je vader lief, die drinkt niet meer
je vroeg het al zo menige keer
dus moesje lief kom huil niet meer
want vader lief, die drinkt niet meer

A Happy Guy
A Happy Guy
Composer(s): Larry Kusic - Kenny Rankin
Performer(s): Rick Nelson; José Feliciano
Some guys like a 9 to 5 job
and a house with a white picket fence
some guys live for that weekly pay check
but to me it don't make much sense
now I dont like a tight collar
or a suit with a matching tie
I like to pick up and go where the four winds blow
I steer clear of sweet talkin' gals
they gotta wedding bells on their mind
they want a guy to stay home every night
but me I'm a different kind
I move when I'm ready
and I don't have to tell you why
I just grab my hat
and leave where I'm at
and that's why I'm a happy guy
You can look for me when Im passing through
and I'll stay awhile in your town
we can live it up and let the good times roll
but dont try to settle me down
No girls gonna chain me!
I was born with a roving eye
and when the thrill is gone
I'll be moving on
and that's why im a happy guy
