Love Makes The World Go Round (Deon Jackson)


Love Makes The World Go Round
Composer(s): Deon Jackson
First release by: Deon Jackson - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



You know love makes the world go round
And love, baby makes the seesaws go up and down
And it makes trees grow tall
And the most important thing of all
It makes a boy and girl, oh
Say they feel so fine, now (feel so fine)

Without love flowers wouldn't grow in the spring
And without spring, yeah the birdies just couldn't sing
Everybody needs love
(1: And 2: Just) to watch the twinkling stars above
It makes a boy and girl, (1: yeah 2: oh)
Say they feel so fine, now (feel so fine)

Without love flowers wouldn't grow in the spring
And without spring, yeah the birdies just couldn't sing
Everybody needs love
(1: And 2: Just) to watch the twinkling stars above
It makes a boy and girl, (1: yeah 2: oh)
Say they feel so fine, now (feel so fine)

Oh... love makes you cry, now
That goes for Billy, Sherry, Bobby and Marsha and baby you and I
Oh, I can prove to you
That these facts of love are so true
It makes a boy and girl, yeah
Say they feel so fine, now (feel so fine)

Love, love, sweet love love is so good, child
Ooh, it's so fine ooh ...

Mississippi River


Mississippi River
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



Un kilomètre d'une rive à l'autre
Quelques bateaux à roues
Pour touristes en mal d'argonautes
Et de machines à sous
Et les champs de coton défilent
Mais l'oncle Tom est mort
Ne chantent plus que des oiseaux un peu perdus
Plus de tricheurs, plus de danseuses
Plus d'orpheline en pleurs
Et plus de barmaid amoureuse
Des filons, des trappeurs
Plus de lingots plus de pépites
On a trouvé l'or noir
Mais y'a toujours des bars pour Blancs
Des bars pour Noirs

Mississippi River
N'oublie pas que toi
Toi, tu chantais la liberté des opprimés
L'espoir du peuple noir

Dans un beuglant d'Outre-Atlantique
Le vieux barman s'endort
On assassine sa musique
Au fond du transistor
Et sa mémoire fait des gammes
Ses doigts se posent encore
Sur le piano désaccordé qui n'est pas mort

Mississippi River
N'oublie pas que toi
Toi, tu chantais la liberté des opprimés
L'espoir du peuple noir

Mais un jour autour de ta tombe
Tous tes copains viendront
Les trombones sortiront de l'ombre
Ils réinventeront
Cette musique un peu bizarre
Qui vous sortait du coeur
Quand le sang rouge devenait noir au fond des pleurs

Mississippi River
N'oublie pas que toi
Toi, tu chantais la liberté des opprimés
L'espoir du peuple noir

Mississippi River
N'oublie pas que toi
Toi, tu chantais la liberté des opprimés
L'espoir du peuple noir

Garden Of Happiness


Garden Of Happiness
Composer(s): Edward Lockton; Daniel Wood
Performer(s): Richard Crooks



I found a garden in the long ago
Fragrant and sweet, with wondrous flowers aglow
Shady with trees, where birds from morn till night
Sang to my heart of love and all delight

Garden of happiness, skies of blue
Shine o'er your golden ways, radiant for you
Now I have found you, gladness is mine
Garden of happiness and love divine

In that fair garden I would ever stay
Loving one heart each hour of every day
Never a cloud to dim the skies above
Never a tear in that glad place of love

Garden of happiness, skies of blue
Shine o'er your golden ways, radiant for you
Now I have found you, gladness is mine
Garden of happiness and love divine

Love Makes Sweet Music


Love Makes Sweet Music
Composer(s): David Allen - Kevin Ayers - Mike Ratledge - Robert Wyatt
Performer(s): Soft Machine
and multiple other artists



Every night it's the same old scene
Drinking wine cos you're scared to dream
But you know that things will get better
If you let your dreams get wetter than wine
It's just a waste of time

When it's dark and you hear your heart beat
Walk down moonlight's lonely high street
Something sings and you feel sunshine
But you know you're full of moonshine, too
It's staring at you

Love makes sweet music
Makes you want to shout out
Love makes sweet music
Makes you want to run, makes you want to shout out
Makes you want to cry, makes you want to run to ... her

Every day it's the same old tune
Tell yourself it's coming soon
When it comes it comes so fast
You get worried cause that thing won't last with her
Then you're back where you were

Mississippi Queen


Mississippi Queen
Composer(s): Corky Laing; Felix Pappalardi;
David Rea; Leslie West
Originally performed by: Mountain
Covered by various other artists



Mississippi Queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg
Around Louisiana way
Lived a cajun lady
Aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' their kicks
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was getting mine

Mississippi Queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything
This lady she asked me
If I would be her man
You know that I told her
I'd do what I can
To keep her looking pretty
Buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes were making their bread
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was losing mine!

When you walk in the garden
The garden of Eden
With a beautiful woman

Mississippi Mud


Mississippi Mud
Composer(s): James Cavanaugh; Harry Barris
Performer(s): Paul Whiteman & His Orch.
and various other artists



When the sun goes down, the tide goes out
The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout
"Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud"

What a dance do they do!
Lordy, how I'm tellin' you...
They don't need no band...
They keep time by clappin' their hand...
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud
When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi Mud

Lordy, how they play it!
Goodness, how they sway it!
Uncle Joe, Uncle Jim
How they pound the mire with vigor and vim!
Joy! that music thrills me!
Boy! it nearly kills me!
What a show when they go!
Say! they beat it up either fast or slow

When the sun goes down, the tide goes out
The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout
"Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud"

What a dance do they do!
Lordy, how I'm tellin' you...
They don't need no band...
They keep time by clappin' their hand
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud
When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi Mud

Va danser
Toutes les danses que tu veux
Dans les bras de ceux
Qui t'entraînent au loin
Va sourire
Des sourires merveilleux
Pour les danseurs
Qui te tiennent la main
Mais n'oublie pas que ce sera toi
Qui conduiras ce soir chez moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi
Il y a
Quelquefois des refrains
Plus forts que le vin
Qui vous tournent la tête
Chante et rit
Mais je t'en supplie
Aucun danseur ne m'enlève ton cœur
Et n'oublie pas que ce sera toi
Qui conduiras ce soir chez moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi
Comprends-moi chéri, je t'aime trop
Et je n'ai plus qu'un désir
C'est t'empêcher un jour de partir
Notre amour est trop beau
Va danser
Si tu peux t'amuser
J'attendrai le jour de ton retour
Si quelqu'un
Veut que tu l'accompagnes
Jusqu'à la maison
Dis-lui bien que non
Car n'oublie pas que ce sera toi
Qui conduiras ce soir chez moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi
La, la, la,la,la,..
Oui n'oublie pas que c'est dans tes bras
Que ce soir tu me serreras
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi

Love L-o-v-e


Love L-o-v-e
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn - Maggie Vaughn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



L-o-v-e l-o-v-e love
There couldn't be a bad word I haven't heard you say
Don't you know the needs of any woman
You speak words my ears have never heard of
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love
L-o-v-e a word you never use l-o-v-e your lips never choose
It's enough to make a woman want to give of
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love

It would tear me all to pieces if you ever came to me
With more to give than one robbed kiss at nighttime
You'll never know the longing that my heart does
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love
L-o-v-e a word you never use ...

I've got my pistols in my pockets boys
I'm Alabama bound
I've got my pistols in my pockets boys, I'm
I'm Alabama bound
Well, I'm not looking for no trouble
But nobody dogs me 'round

Well, I'm going to fetch my woman, people
Tri-cities here I come
Well, I'm going to fetch my woman, people
Tri-cities here I come
Cause she was raised up on that cornbread
And I know she's gonna give me some

When the kid hits Alabama, people
Don't you try and dog him 'round
When the kid hits Alabama, people
Don't you try and dog him 'round
Cause if you people cause me trouble
Then I've got to put you in the ground

Well, I was born in Mississippi
And I don't take any stuff from you
Well, I was born in Mississippi
And I don't take any stuff from you
And if I hit you on your head
Boy, its got to make you black and blue

Well, I ride to Alabama

Garde-Moi Dans Ta Poche


Garde-Moi Dans Ta Poche Adapted from: I Can't Help Myself - 1965 Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Eddie Holland; J. Renard Performer(s): Sylvia Vartan - 1966



Garde-moi dans ta poche
Maintenant que je sais
Qu'il ne faut jamais
Oh non plus jamais nous séparer
Et vivre de nous de notre amour
Comme la feuille et l'arbre
Ne peuvent vivre l'un sans l'autre
J'ai tellement pleuré sur notre amour
Sur ce qui était à nous que je te le demande
Maintenant garde-moi dans ta poche

Garde-moi dans ta poche
Pour que tu ne sois jamais seul
Et je te ferai oublier toute ta peine
Chaque fois que la nuit vient
Et qu'on est très loin l'un de l'autre
Je veux crier ton nom
Oh oui crier ton nom
Si ton cœur a souffert à cause de nous
Nous allons refaire le chemin de notre amour
{ad lib}

L-o-v-e (Love)


L-o-v-e (Love)
Composer(s): Al Green - Teenie Hodges - Willie Mitchell
First release by: Al Green - 1975



I started to write this song about you
And then I decided that I would write it all about love
And it appeared to me
That you wasn't happy
And that's for sure, positively
That's what the world is made of
So give me more L-O-V-E, love
Love is a walk down Main street (oh love)
Love is an apple that is so sweet (love)
Love is something that can't be beat (love)

L-O-V-E is strange to me, Oh
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
It's all in the heavens, can't you see
You can always depend on me
To give you love

Love is a flower in my soul (oh love)
Love is a story that just can't be told (love)
Can't you feel it burning more and more (love)
Stop and look at the big wheel roll
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
I would give my life for the glory
Just to be able to tell the story
About love
I didn't mean to make you mad
A sweet story, I thought I had
But maybe time will bring us together
And I can be such a happy fella
About love
Love is something that is so divine (oh love)
Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine (love)
It can't be measured by no sign (love)
In your heart or even in your mind
About love, Love is as bright as the morning sun

Mississippi Delta City Blues


Mississippi Delta City Blues
Composer(s): Terry Kath
Performer(s): Chicago



I've got a smile
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone

But it is so hard
To make that smile
'Cause I know I'll be at home
And alone in a while
And if I look in a mirror
I see my eyes start to tear
I can't help but cry
Since you said goodbye

I've got to hide
Whhat I'm feelin' inside
Can't let them see
How you're hurtin' me

So I guess that's what I'll do
Won't let them see through
Won't let them know
That you could hurt me so

I've got a laugh
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone

But it is so hard
To fake that laugh
When my insides are cryin'
And my heart's torn in half
And all the music I hear
And things I valued so dear
Make me feel so blue
They all remind me of you

(Now) What can I do
(Now) That our love is through
And my purpose is gone
Still I got to live on

I guess that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
I won't let them know
That you could hurt me so

Garde Du Corps


Garde Du Corps
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



La limousine stoppe devant le chasseur
Je descends, jette un œil, écarte les gêneurs
C'est mon heure de gloire, je roule, j'redresse le dos
J'suis un peu la "star" du show

Je lui ouvr' sa portière, les yeux dans l'horizon
Elle dévoile un genou et puis pose un talon
Décolleté, robe du soir, hum! sa peau qui sent bon
J'suis son garde du corps just' pour ce soir

Elle m'a pris à l'essai
Comme on prend un verre d'eau
Comme ça d'un trait
Sec, ne me montrant que son dos
Moi j'aurais aimé pouvoir lui parler d' son passé
De mes exploits, c'est qu' moi j'en ai du métier

Comm' salaire, faut l'savoir, c'est pas si mal payé
Y a plus cher mais c'est rare et faut être cultivé
Si j'provoque des bagarres c'est pour mieux me justifier
J'suis son carde du corps just' pour ce soir

Les remords et les regrets
J'ignore, j'sais pas c'que c'est
Comme ces idiots
Mercenaires mal dans leur peau,
J'entretiens tout l'temps mon corps, j'le muscule, j'le "gymnastique"
L'aspect physique c'est "top' et puis ça fait "pro"

Carde du corps pour un soir, vous pouvez m'appeler
J'laisse ma carte au cas où ça pourrait vous brancher
Carde du corps pour un soir, j'sais que c'est cher, ça peut payer
Pour s'la donner, pour le show

Qui veut un garde du corps?
Besoin d'un garde du corps?
Qui veut un garde du corps?

Love Looks So Well On You


Love Looks So Well On You
Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Lew Spence - Michael Keith
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Simavi



Like moonlight looks on a country side, like a rose that's silvered with dew
Like sunlight looks on a meadow, love looks so well on you
Like children look on a carousel, all the joys they feel shining through
Like picnics look on a Sunday, love looks so well on you
It's bright as the starlight in your eyes, with stardust in your hair
And oh, that expression on your face, is one you should always wear
Everyday you grow even lovelier, yes, you do, my darling, you do
I love you every day of your life, cause love looks so well on you

M I double S I double S I double P I
M I double S I double S I double P I
Right in the middle of the cotton belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last years possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta

Have me a little that Johnny cake
A little bit of that apple pan dowdy
Picking them scuppernon's off that vine
Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy

Ate me a bucket of Muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark
Drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly bark

Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last years possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta

Sittin and scratchin' mosquito bites
Old fox done give him the slip
Watchin' the mornin' glories grow
In Biloxi on an overnight trip

I bet five dollars to win two bits
Eat a peppermint stick on Sunday
Ain't no use in'a hurrying up
Can't leave till a week from Monday

Ganz Paris träumt von der Liebe
denn dort ist sie ja zuhaus
Ganz Paris träumt dieses Märchen

Ganz Paris grüßt dann das Pärchen
das ein Paar wird
Ganz Paris singt immer wieder
immer wieder nur vom Glück
Wer verliebt ist
wer verliebt ist in die Liebe
kommt nach Paris zurück

Hmmm-hmm...

Love Lives Here


Love Lives Here
Composer(s): Ronnie Lane - Ron Wood - Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Faces



It's hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives
Now so empty inside and feelin' no pain
Waitin' for a hammer and a big ball and chain

They can tear it all down and build something new
Then only I'll remember what was here
Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone
How hong will I have to keep returning?

Now I look back, think I've known all the time
I've been fightin' myself for so long
All the vows that we made, gone for old rags and lumber
Disappear on a cart down the road

Ik Zal Je Missen


Ik Zal Je Missen ((Adapted from: Mississippi (by Pussycat) - 1975)) Composer(s): Werner Theunissen - Peter Van Laet Performer(s): Mama's Jasje - 2007



Het water stroomt al jaren naar de zee
En het neemt zoveel verhalen met zich mee
Maar dat van ons behoeft niet zoveel woorden
Alleen een paar akkoorden
Vertellen zoveel meer

In gedachten ben je nog altijd bij mij
En ik hoor nog al de dingen die je zei
Het was toen zoveel mooier dan het heden
Ik kan je niet vergeten
Je leeft nog diep in mij

Ik zal je missen
Ik vergeet je niet
Bij wie of waar je ook mag zijn
Ik weet het niet en dat doet pijn
Want ons verhaal was niet voorbij

Ik zal je missen
Ik heb zoveel verdriet
Elke dag denk ik aan jou
Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou
Je komt niet meer terug

Ik speel nog steeds jouw lied
Op mijn gitaar
Want het afscheid valt me
Nog altijd zo zwaar

Dit blijf ik doen
Om jou niet te vergeten
Hou vast aan het verleden
Ik hou nog steeds van jou

Ik zal je missen
Ik vergeet je niet
Elke dag denk ik aan jou
Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou
Je komt niet meer terug

Elke dag denk ik aan jou
Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou
Je komt niet meer terug
