Are You Wasting My Time
Are You Wasting My Time
Composer(s): Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin
First release by: The Louvin Brothers - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists
Does the moon shine a little brighter
When I hold you a little tighter
Are you wasting my time
Does your love grow a little stronger
When I kiss you a little longer
Are you wasting my time
Can I depend on your love to live on
Can I rely on the vow that you made
Does your love grow a little stronger
When I kiss you a little longer
Are you wasting my time
Does your heart seem a little colder
When I cuddle up on your shoulder
Are you wasting my time
Do you melt away when you kiss me
When I go away do you miss me
Are you wasting my time
Can I depend on your love to live on
Can I rely on the vow that you made
Does your love grow a little stronger
When I kiss you a little longer
Are you wasting my time

Louisiana Man
Louisiana Man
Composer(s): Doug Kershaw
First release by: Rusty & Doug - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
First Momma Poppa call a little boy Ned
Raise him on the banks of the riverbed
In a houseboat tied to a big tall tree
Home for my Momma and my Poppa and me
Half-past three Poppa jumps to his feet
Already Momma cooking Poppa somethin' to eat
Half-past five Poppa's ready to go
Jumps in his hero headed down the bayou
Got fishin' lines running cross the Louisiana river
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat
Settin' traps in the swamp, catchin' everything they can
Gonna make a livin', he's a Lousiana man
Gonna make a livin', he's a Lousiana man
Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen
Even got a little baby muskrat cousin
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Poppa's gonna turn 'em into money
I can hardly wait until the mornin' comes around
That's the day my Poppa taked the furs to town
Last time he told me that I could go
Maybe even catch a cowboy show
Saw cowboys and Indians for the first time then
Told my Poppa, "Got to come back again"
Poppa said, "Son, we got lines to run
We'll come back again; there's work to be done"
Got fishin' lines running cross the Louisiana river
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat
Settin' traps in the swamp, catchin' everything they can
Gonna make a livin', he's a Lousiana man
Gonna make a livin', he's a Lousiana man

Sympathie Is Geen Liefde
Sympathie Is Geen Liefde
Performer(s): Willy Sommers
Sympathie is geen liefde
maar vroeg of laat misschien
komt er een dag dat sympathie
in liefde veranderen zal
sympathie wordt dan liefde
het ligt alleen aan jou
geef me een teken
als jouw vriendschap liefde wordt
‘t maakt me wel heel blij
als je lacht naar mij
maar ik denk aan andere dingen
iedere nacht steeds weer
droom ik meer en meer
dat je van me houdt
sympathie wordt soms liefde
het ligt alleen aan jou
geef me een teken
als jouw vriendschap liefde wordt
luister naar je hart
klinkt het soms verward
ja, het klopt zoals het mijne
maakt het je ook zo blij
dan geloof me vrij
daar komt liefde van
sympathie wordt dan liefde
het ligt alleen aan jou
geef me een teken
als jouw vriendschap liefde wordt

Louisiana 1927
Composer(s): Randy Newman
First release by: Randy Newman - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
What has happened down here, is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard, and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through clear down to Placker Mine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
President Coolidge come down, in a railroad train
With his little fat man with a note pad in his hand
President say "little fat man, oh isn't it a shame
What the river has done to this poor farmer's land"
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, you're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, oh Lord, they're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away

El Bandido
El Bandido
((Adapted from: The Great El Tigre (by Stu Phillips) - 1966))
((Dutch Version: El Bandido (by Will Tura) -1966))
Composer(s): Cy Coben - Franck Gérald
Performer(s): Robert Cogoi - 1967
Ce vieil homme qui somnole sur un banc
Je le croyais mort en prison depuis bien longtemps
Pourtant malgré les années qui burinent sa peau
C'est bien le même visage que j'ai vu dans de vieux journaux
Le fameux Bandido
Pour les Mexicains
Le grand El Bandido
C'était quelqu'un de bien
On n'aurait jamais mis la main dessus
Si comme tant d'autres l'amour ne l'avait perdu
Car il faut une église pour se marier
Et c'est après la messe que l'on est venu l'arrêter
Et sur El Bandido
Le temps a passé
Du grand El Bandido
On n'a plus reparlé
Voilà qu'une vieille dame aux cheveux blancs
S'approche de l'homme qui rêve sur son banc
Avec tendresse, elle aide son compagnon
Et sur eux se referme la porte de leur maison
Adios El Bandido
Saura-t-on jamais
Si l'amour, Bandido
T'a perdu ou sauvé?

Louisiana (Sterling Trio)
Louisiana
Composer(s): Arthur Freed - Oliver G. Wallace
Performer(s): Sterling Trio
Each time I hear a robin singing
I picture fields of sugar cane
Louisiana land of sunshine
I long to be there once again
Down in an old moss covered cottage
That's where I always long to be
There is no palace could replace it
For it is home sweet home to me
Louisiana, Memry of the olden ways
My old sweetheart
In those good old barefoot days
Blue skies and Blue eyes
That is all I seem to see
Louisiana, I can hear your message to me

The Great El Tigre
Composer(s): Cy Coben
First release by: Stu Phillips - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1966 - El Bandido (by Will Tura)
1967 - El Bandido (by Robert Cogoi)
Can that be the great El Tigre sitting there
That gray haired old man on the bench in the village square
Could he be that famous bandit of days gone by
Can he be the fierce El Tigre or did the real El Tigre die
He'll be remembered forever more
By the rich that he stole from and the poor he stole for
He once met a senorita on a raid
Sweet little Juanita who smiled up at him unafraid
And eyes hard as steel softened up at the sight that they saw
And love found a heart no bullet had been able to find before
Though he was a bandido with a price on his head
Te amo querida take me with you she said
Can that be the great El Tigre sitting there
That old man asleep on the bench in the village square
And as he dreams a sweet old senora appears
And then as she gently wakes him she whispers into his ear
Querida mia the time it has flown
Vamanos mi bandido it's time we went home

Louisiana (Joe Dassin)
Louisiana
Composer(s): M. Camison - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Comme tous les vagabonds
J'ai fait tous les boulots
De New-York à l'Orégon
D'Auckland à Buffalo
J'ai conduit un douze tonnes
Douze tonnes à Santa-Fé
Dans un port de Washington
Déchargé du café
Tous les chemins ont du bon
Qui reviennent au pays
Qui me ramènent à la maison
À l'amour de ma vie
Louisiana! Je reviens
Louisiana! près de toi
Louisiana! au bout de mon chemin
Louisiana! tu es là
Tout ce que m'avait rapporté
Six mois à Charleston
Une souris me l'a croqué
En un soir à Boston
C'que j'ai gagné au Texas
En volant des chevaux
Je l'ai doublé à Las Vegas
Et perdu à Reno
Tous les chemins ont du bon
Qui reviennent au pays
Qui me ramènent à la maison
À l'amour de ma vie
Louisiana! Je reviens
Louisiana! près de toi
Louisiana! au bout de mon chemin
Louisiana! tu es là

My heart is heavy to see a levee
A field of cane and corn
I've not forgotten my land of cotton
Down where I was born
I'm through knocking around
`Cause I'm Dixie bound
Louisiana, Louisiana
I've been sad, mighty sad
Louisiana, Louisiana
Now I'm glad, so glad
The whistle's blowin'
The train is goin'
Here I come, here I come
I'm tired of roamin'
That's why I'm homin'
Back to happiness, and then some
Louisiana, no place is grander
I declare, I declare
No skies are bluer
No friends are truer
Anywhere, anywhere
Take me to your heart
Give me one more start
I'm the little child
Just been runnin' wild
Louisiana, Louisiana my own
Louisiana, Louisiana
I've been sad, very sad
Louisiana, Louisiana
Now I'm glad, you wanna know `cause why, well listen
The whistle's blowin'
The train is goin'
And here I come, here I come
I'm so tired of roamin'
That's why I'm homin'
Takin' the midnight choo-choo train
Won't be long till I'm back again
Louisiana, no place is grander
I declare, I declare
No skies are bluer
No friends are truer
Anywhere, anywhere
Louisiana, Louisiana my own

Blau Blüht Der Enzian
Blau Blüht Der Enzian
Performer(s): Heino
Ja, ja, so blau, blau, blau blüht der Enzian
Wenn beim Alpenglühen wir uns wiedersehen
Mit ihren ro-, ro-, ro-, roten Lippen fing es an
Die ich nie vergessen kann
Wenn des Sonntags früh um viere die Sonne aufgeht
Und das Schweizer Madel auf die Alm 'naufgeht
Bleib' ich ja so gern am Wegrand stehen, ja, stehen
Denn das Schweizer Madel sang so schön
Holla hia hia holla di holla di ho
Holla hia hia holla di holla di ho
Blaue Blumen dann am Wegrand stehen, ja, stehen
Und das Schweizer Madel sang so schön
Ja, ja, so blau, blau blau blüht der Enzian
Wenn beim Alpenglühen wir uns wiedersehen
Mit ihren ro-, ro-, ro-, roten Lippen fing es an
Die ich nie vergessen kann
Die ich nie vergessen kann
In der ersten Hütte, da haben wir zusammen gesessen
In der zweiten Hütte, da haben wir zusammen gegessen
In der dritten Hütte hab‘ ich sie geküßt
Keiner weiß was dann geschehen ist
Holla hia hia holla di holla di ho
Holla hia hia holla di holla di ho
In der dritten Hütte hab‘ ich sie geküßt
Keiner weiß was dann geschehen ist
Ja, ja, so blau, blau blau blüht der Enzian
Wenn beim Alpenglühen wir uns wiedersehen
Mit ihren ro-, ro-, ro-, roten Lippen fing es an
Die ich nie vergessen kann
Die ich nie vergessen kann
Die ich nie vergessen kann – Ja!

Louise (Paul Siebel)
Louise
Composer(s): Paul Siebel
First release by: Paul Siebel - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
They all said Louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act the little girl
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of Perfume
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise 10 cent trinkets
The intentions were easily traced
And everybody knew at times she cried
But woman like Louise well they get by
And everybody thought it kinda sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd all put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
Louise rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard them say
Too bad it ended so ugly
Too bad she had to go this way
But the wind is blowin4 cold tonight
Good night Louise good night

Aren't You Glad You're You
Aren't You Glad You're You
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Doris Day
Every time you're near a rose
Aren't you glad you've got a nose
And if the dawn is fresh with dew
Aren't you glad you're you
When a meadowlark appears
Aren't you glad you've got two ears
And if your heart is singin' too
Aren't you glad you're you
You can see a summer sky
Or touch a friendly hand
Or taste an apple pie
Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand
And when you wake up each morn
Aren't you glad that you were born
Think what you've got the whole day through
Aren't you glad you're you
Every time you're near a rose
Aren't you glad you've got a nose
And if the dawn is fresh with dew
Aren't you glad you're you
When a meadowlark appears
Aren't you glad you've got two ears
And if your heart is singin' too
Aren't you glad you're you
You can see a summer sky
Or touch a friendly hand
Or taste an apple pie
Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand
And when you wake up each morn
Aren't you glad that you were born
Think what you've got the whole day through
Aren't you glad you're you

Louise
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Richard Whiting
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier
and multiple other artists
Wonderful! Oh, it's wonderful
To be in love with you
Beautiful! You're so beautiful
You haunt me all day through
Every little breeze seems to whisper "Louise"
Birds in the trees seem to twitter "Louise"
Each little rose
Tells me it knows I love you, love you
Every little beat that I feel in my heart
Seems to repeat, What I felt from the start
Each little sigh
Tells me that I adore you, Louise
Just to see and hear you
Brings joy I never knew
But to be so near you
Thrills me through and through
Anyone can see why I wanted your kiss
It had to be But the wonder is this
Can it be true
Someone like you could love me, Louise?
Innocent! You're so innocent
And gentle as a dove
Heaven sent! You were heaven sent
An angel from above
Every little breeze seems to whisper "Louise"
Birds in the trees seem to twitter "Louise"
Each little rose
Tells me it knows I love you, love you
Every little beat that I feel in my heart
Seems to repeat, What I felt from the start
Each little sigh
Tells me that I adore you, Louise
Often when I'm gloomy
And in my lonely room
Thoughts of you come to me
Like a sweet perfume
Anyone can see why I wanted your kiss
It had to be But the wonder is this
Can it be true
Someone like you could love me, Louise?

Aren't You Kind Of Glad We Did?
Aren't You Kind Of Glad We Did?
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists
Oh, it really wasn't my intention
To disregard convention
It was just an impulse
That had to be obeyed
Though it seems convention we've been scorning
I'll still not go in mourning
Though my reputation
Is blemished, I'm afraid
With just one kiss
What heaven, what rapture, what bliss
Honestly, I thought you wouldn't
Naturally, you thought you couldn't
And probably we shouldn't
But aren't you kind of glad we did?
Actually, it all was blameless
Nevertheless, they'll call it shameless
So let's keep the lady nameless
But aren't you kind of glad we did?
Socially, I'll be an outcast
Obviously, we dined alone
On my good name there will be doubt cast
With never a sign of any chaperone
No matter how they may construe it
Whether or not, we have to rue it
Whatever made us do it
Say, aren't you kind of glad we did?
Whatever made us do it
Say, aren't you kind of glad we did?

Down in Lou'siana where the melons grow
Lives the sweetest little girl that I love so
My oh my heavens above how she can love
When she starts a loving I'm in heav'n above
Before long you'll see me going on a train
That I'm sure will carry me right back again
Oh! deario I'm home sick and so lonely
I can be cured by you only
Oh!
Dearie now I'm wond'ring if you'll ever know
Just how bad I feel and that I miss you so
With me 'twas the ending of a perfect day
It's not clear to me just why I went away
Dearie I just want your love and nothing more
I want you to love me as you did of yore
Sweet heart I am so sad and lonely
My heart cries for you only
Oh!
I've got the blues the Lou'siana blues
My honey how I'm longing just for you
Baby I'm wond'ring if you are still true
And that is why I feel so blue
I can't forget, do you regret
The love and kisses that you gave to me
How I miss you, your loving kiss
Your love so true, 'twas joy and bliss
Oh I've got the weary blues, the Lou'siana blues
Those weary Lou'siana blues
