Think Of Me


Think Of Me ((aka Think of Me (When You're Lonely) (The Mavericks) - 1999))
Composer(s): Don Rich - Estella Olsson
First recording/First release by: Buck Owens and The Buckaroos - 1966



Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you

Remember all the good times
We shared in days gone by
Remember all the sadness
The day you said goodbye

Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you

You said that you were leavin'
But you wouldn't be gone too long
With each new day I hope and pray
That you'll come travellin' home

Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you

I watch the mailman come
I listen for the phone
I meet the trains at the station
But I spend my nights alone
Now the waiting is over
And the time has set the scene
Yes, God meant me for only you
And he meant you for me

Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you
For I'll be thinking of you

Dirty Hands! Dirty Face!


Dirty Hands! Dirty Face! Composer(s): Grant Clarke - Al Jolson - Edgar Leslie - James V. Monaco Performer(s): Marion Harris and multiple other artists



Wonderful pals are always hard to find
Some folks have one, some folks have none
And I was alone for years, but fate was kind
And in the end, sent me a friend
Although he's not much higher than my knee
Still he's the greatest thing on earth to me

Dirty hands, dirty face
Leads the neighbours a chase
But his smile is as cute as can be
Making noise, breaking toys
He's always fighting the boys
But his eyes, they're a vision to see

And when my work is done
Coming home from the setting sun
To the gate he will start to run
And then I'll kiss my boy

Dirty hands, dirty face
Little devil, that's what they say
But to me he's an angel of joy

Dirty hands, dirty face
Leads the neighbours a chase
But his smile, his little smile, is as cute as can be
Making noise, breaking toys, Ha-ha-ha
He's always fighting the boys
But his eyes, they're his Mother's
And they're a vision to me

And when my work is done
Coming home, coming home to the setting sun
From the gate he'll start to run
And then, Ohhh! I'll kiss my boy

Dirty hands, dirty face
Little devil, that's what they say
But to me he's an angel of joy

Are You There (With Another Girl)?


Are You There (With Another Girl)?
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
First release by: Dionne Warwick - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



I hear the music coming out of your radio
Are you there with another girl instead of me
I hear your laughter and there's something I've got to know
Are you there with another girl instead of me

Well, I'm standing on your doorstep and I don't know what to do
Should I ring your doorbell or just walk away
My friends all say that you were never true
Hiding in the shadows

I see two silhouettes in back of your window shade
Are you there with another girl when I am gone
I can't believe you'd break the promises that you made
If you're there with another girl, I can't go on

Oh, I only know I love you and I couldn't say goodbye
So if there's another I don't want to know
If you should go, oh, I would surely die
Love requires faith, I've got a lot of faith but

I hear the music coming' out of your radio

Oh, I only know I love you and I couldn't say goodbye
So if there's another I don't want to know
If you should go, oh, I would surely die
You would never leave me, hurt me or deceive me
I'm a fool to doubt you, worry so about you
Love requires faith, I've got a lot in me but

I hear the music coming out of your radio

Dirty Dishes Blues


Dirty Dishes Blues Composer(s): Gene Masters Performer(s): Lonesome Pine Fiddlers



I come in this morning a quarter past eight
Expecting her nagging for getting home late
But she didn't scold me or tell me it's wrong
For I didn't see her, my sweetheart was gone

Dirty dishes, dirty dishes, I'm losing my mind
My baby done left me and traveled behind
And now I'm so lonely, and lonely I'll be
With no one to wash all my dishes for me

A note on the table and here's how it read
Now, you've been cheatin', that's all that she said
I just stood there bawling, the tears were in vain
For now I know she'll never believe me again

Dirty dishes, dirty dishes, I'm losing my mind
My baby done left me and traveled behind
And now I'm so lonely, and lonely I'll be
With no one to wash all my dishes for me

Now I never cheated, believe me it's true
Or broken a promise that I made to you
You'll never know just how happy I'll be
If you will come back and wash dishes for me

Dirty dishes, dirty dishes, I'm losing my mind
My baby done left me and traveled behind
And now I'm so lonely, and lonely I'll be
With no one to wash all my dishes for me

Sweet little sixteen

Dirt Road Blues


Dirt Road Blues Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan; Fernando Goin; Michel Montecrossa



Gonna walk down that dirt road
'Til someone will let me ride
Gonna walk down that dirt road
'Til someone will let me ride
If I can't find my baby I'm gonna run away and hide

Well, I been pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back
pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back
Well, I been praying for salvation
Laying round in a one-room country shack

Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed
Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed
'Til there's nothing left to see
'Til the chains have been shattered and I been freed

But I'm looking at my shadow, I been watching the clouds up above
looking at my shadow, watching the clouds up above
Rolling through the rain and hail
Looking for the sunny side of love

Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same
I keep on walking 'til I hear her holler out my name

Dip Your Wings


Dip Your Wings Composer(s): Paul Fox - Franne Golde - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Peter Cetera



If you see me coming up an open road
With an empty glass and a single rose
Take a turn towards the shifting light
There you’ll see my shadow lost in the night

Endless flight has no directions now
To a coward’s kiss from a hero’s vow
If I could find the words, I’d pick up the phone
If I was half a man, I wouldn’t sleep alone

Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings

Oh you shook your head like a wild horse
Beneath the southern cross in the frozen north
Oh when our bodies touched on that burning beach
I could have sworn that heaven was within our reach

Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings

Time just crawls here behind my eyes
If the scar heals, can our love survive
Life’s only purpose seems so distant now
If thee’s a chance at all won’t you show me how

Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings

Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers



When we're all alone and I'm in your arms
Are you teasing me
When you're tellin' me how you thrill to my charms
Are you teasing me?

Are you untrue when I'm not with you
When we're apart are you free
Tell me dariing while our love is still young
Are you teasing me?

You say that my kiss sends your heart in a whirl
Are you teasing me
And that youll be mine till the end of the world
Are you teasing me?

Diosa Del Sur


Diosa Del Sur
Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Aunque nació de buena cuna
y heredó el apellido de papá
aunque pasó por buen colegio
como los demás…

Aunque viajó al extranjero
para así… hallar su identidad…
él descubrió en esos caminos
la Diosa del mal…
… Diosa del Sur…

Después se fue metiendo
de a poco, en el infierno
no quiso regresar
las leyes del mercado le dijeron
en Santiago hay que probar

El tiempo transcurría
el olfato era su guía
tragedia familiar
pero ya había tomado
el avión de los pecados
… al final…

Diosa del Sur…
Diosa de lágrimas… no más

Viviendo como viven esos
que rindieron el alma a Lucifer
de día revolcándose en la cama
y en la noche a recorrer

Vendiendo papelillos
rompiendo los bolsillos
quien lo iba a creer
comprando jueces y abogados
al amanecer…

Diosa del Sur…
Diosa de lágrimas…

En el pasado invierno
lo encontraron, casi muerto
tendido en un sillón
con una sobredosis de basura
… en el corazón

Quedó sobre la cama
la jeringa que calmaba
su última afición,
y el que con muerte traficaba
al fin la encontró…

Diosa del Sur…
Diosa de lágrimas…

Are You Sure Love Is The Name Of This Game


Are You Sure Love Is The Name Of This Game
Composer(s): William "Smokey" Robinson
Performer(s): Diana Ross & the Supremes



I'll admit that you've been
Playing with my heart
Just like it was a toy
And I've been playing along
And letting you treat me wrong
Because it seems to give you joy

Are you sure love is the name of this game
Are you sure love is the name of this game

For days on end you just stay away
Waitin' for my heart to weaken
It's like we're playing hide and seek
And I'm the one who's always seeking

Are you sure love is the name of this game
I wanna know
Are you sure L-o-v-e love is the name of this game

Well if everything's right
And uptight
How come the heartaches keep repeating
With every beat my heart is beating
Now can it be that you've been cheating
Cheating on me

Now how come you keep on
Telling me lies
Filling my life with sorrow
Don't know what to expect
From your affection
It's here today and gone tomorrow

Are you sure love, love, love is the name of this game
I wanna know
Are you sure L-o-v-e love is the name of this game

Dios Y El Diablo En El Taller


Dios Y El Diablo En El Taller
Composer(s): Adrián Abonizio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Dios y el diablo van susurrando cosas a mi espalda
la virgen en camisón se pasea
y del lado de la fábrica suena un motor
Sus bicicletas húmedas descansan en el pasillo
el invierno vino colorado pero esta vez no hay vino
para los dos
Son dos desocupados mas
lo justo se hizo moda
y el verso casi un verso de verdad
y el trabajo una zona que no está
Rai-ra rai-ri rei-ra
Aburridos jugadores con los naipes marcados
siempre en el siete
la radio que habla sola
y que trasmite el empate de Ferro y de Platense
cero a cero
Se prohibe hablar del mundo en esas salas
Dios y el Diablo van remendando madrugadas
y no entiendo nada
La virgen como mujer los engaña, los consuela
y les dice que a la vuelta siempre hay que pagar
Muchachos, hay que comer
salgan para el taller

El diablo que se aburre, que hace sebo
que va al baño y fuma un caño
Dios, buen operario, cuida el puesto
y entre dientes silba un tango
que habla de
"Vamos donde hay sol"
El Diablo que conoce mil lugares
donde hay minas
Y algo como amor
Dios dice "Hay que aguantar"
ami con la hora extra
ya me alcanza para hacerme
un viaje a pie a Lujan
Y cerca de las seis
el pito que resuena en el tinglado
entristece mucho mas
La virgen ...

Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way


Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way
Composer(s): Waylon Jennings
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
and multiple other artists



Lord, it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
It's been the same way for years
We need to change

Somebody told me when I came to Nashville
"Son you finally got it made
Old Hank made it here, we're all sure that you will"
But I don't think Hank done it this way
I don't think Hank done it this way.......Hook it!

Ten years on the road, pickin' one night stands
Speeding my young life away
Tell me one more time just so's I'll understand
Are you sure Hank done it this way?
Did ol' Hank really do it this way?

Lord, I've seen the world with a five piece band
Looking at the back side of me
Singin' my songs, one o' his now and then
But I don't think Hank done 'em this way
No, I don't think Hank done 'em this a'way......
Take it home

Dios Nunca Muere


Dios Nunca Muere
Composer(s): Macedonio Alcalá; Cipriano José Cruz
Performer(s): Javier Solís
and various other artists



Muere el sol en los montes
con la luz que agoniza
pues la vida en su prisa
nos conduce a morir

Pero no importa saber
que voy a tener el mismo final
porque me queda el consuelo
que Dios nunca morirá

Voy a dejar las cosas que amé
la tierra ideal que me vio nacer
sé que después habré de gozar
la dicha y la paz que en Dios hallaré

Sé que la vida empieza
en donde se piensa
que la realidad pedida

Sé que Dios nunca muere
y que se conduele
del que busca su beatitud

Sé que una nueva luz
habrá de alcanzar
nuestra soledad

Y que todo aquel
que llega a morir
empieza a vivir una eternidad

Muere el sol en los montes
con la luz que agoniza
pues la vida en su prisa
nos conduce a morir

Are You Still In Love With Me


Are You Still In Love With Me
Composer(s): Les Brown - Edna Osser
Performer(s): Doris Day & Les Brown



Are you still in love with me, or is this goodbye?
Are you still in love with me, or do kisses lie?

Does your heart no longer thrill to my ev'ry touch?
Do words that I whisper still mean just as much?

Am I just imagining stars have dimmed their glow?
Maybe I'm imagining things that aren't so

Are you still in love with me? If not, tell me why
Is ev'rything over?
Has love passed me by?

Dios No Lo Quiera


Dios No Lo Quiera Composer(s): Enrique Sánchez Alonso Performer(s): Javier Solís and multiple other artists



Dios no lo quiera pero presiento que has dejado de quererme
en estos días se te nota diferente
se han vuelto frías tus caricias de repente

Dios no lo quiera pues mi vida está cifrada en tu cariño
y si me quitas el poquito que me tienes
qué voy a hacer si todo para mí tú eres

Le pregunto a la noche si tienes otros amores
y se queda callada y crecen más mis temores
No quisiera pensarlo pero te estoy perdiendo
hay un grito en mi alma que lo está repitiendo

Dios no lo quiera pues mi vida está cifrada en tu cariño
y si me quitas el poquito que me tienes
qué voy a hacer si todo para mí tú eres

Le pregunto a la noche si tienes otros amores
y se queda callada y crecen más mis temores
No quisiera pensarlo pero te estoy perdiendo
hay un grito en mi alma que lo está repitiendo

Dios no lo quiera pues mi vida está cifrada en tu cariño
y si me quitas el poquito que me tienes
qué voy a hacer si todo para mí tú eres

Are You Still Here


Are You Still Here
Performer(s): Smokey Robinson



Are you still here
Are you still haunting me
Are you still wanting me to want you
Although you have gone

Are you still here
I don't know what to do for this
I thought I traded you for Mr. Blues
But you keep hangin' on

I thought you had gone for good
I thought I could make it
Eventhough I thought I could
I can't take it

You're like a chain, my love
And I can't seem to break it
You're like a chain, my love
And I can't seem to break it

Yes, you're still here
How can you be here when you're there
I feel your presence everywhere
Although you have gone
You keep hangin' on
Although you have gone

Dio Cómo Te Amo


Dio Cómo Te Amo
Italian Title: Dio, Come Ti Amo
Composer(s): Domenico Modugno; J. Ortiz Pino
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Del cielo se ha ido la nube que va a perderse al mar
quedando la blanca estrella que ilumina nuestro amor

¡Dios!.. cómo te amo, es imposible creer que exista tanta, tanta felicidad
Decirte que yo siento este amor tan inmenso
que estoy enamorado como nadie en el mundo

¡Dios!...cómo te amo mi bien escúchame, jamás en esta vida
me había sentido así, un beso ha cambiado en alma enamorada
el mal que atormentaba mi pobre corazón
Le doy gracias al cielo, al universo al sol que me han dado la dicha, la dicha de tu amor

¡Dios!...cómo te amo, ¡Dios!...cómo te amo, ¡Dios!...cómo te amo
