Mistakes (Spencer Davis)
Mistakes
Composer(s): Richard Feldman
Performer(s): Spencer Davis
People tell me, boy you're crazy
Some people say that I'm nuts
For trying to get back together with you baby
They say that once is enough
I should never have left you 'cause now I need you
Sometimes it happens that way
I come back like a fool who's believing
No matter what they might say
I don't want to hear another word
Don't need your well thought out advice
Though I thank you all for being kind
I can make mistakes myself just fine
I've got a good friend who knows my trouble
he thinks I'm wasting my time
He said go out and have some fun she's not the only one
But I can't leave her behind
So, I don't want to hear another word
Don't need your well thought out advice
Though I thank you all for being kind
I can make mistakes myself just fine

Garden Party
Garden Party
Composer(s): Rick Nelson
Performer(s): Rick Nelson;
and various other artists
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same
Chorus
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself
People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
Over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise
Chorus
Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave
Chorus
Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck
Chorus
'n' it's all right now, learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself

Missouri Waltz
Missouri Waltz
Composer(s): Frederick Knight Logan; James Royce Shannon
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and various other artists
"Hush-a-bye m'baby, slumber time is comin' soon
rest your head upon my breast while Mammy hums a tune
the sandman is callin' where shadows are fallin'
while the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by!"
Way down in Missouri, where I heard this melody
when I was a little boy upon my Mammy's knee
the old-folks were hummin' and the banjos were strummin'
so sweet and low!
Strum, strum, strum, strum strum!
Seems I hear those banjos playin' once again
Hmmm, hum, hmmm!
That same old plaintive phrase!
Way down in Missouri, where I heard this melody
when I was a little boy upon my Mammy's knee
the old-folks were hummin' and the banjos were strummin'
so sweet and low!

Love Makes You Crazy
Love Makes You Crazy
Composer(s): Mike Batt
Performer(s): Mike Batt
I was reading in a history book before the seventh war
They used to have a thing that they called love
that we don't have any more
I don't know the feeling
but I'm told it was an evil thing
It used to make you crazy and fall down
no one knows what it could bring
Loves makes you crazy
loves makes you cry
Love made them crazy in days gone by
Loves makes you crazy - that's what they say
Loves made them crazy in the olden days
I must have seized the body and the mind like strong disease
Another plague that science has erased even from the memory
Or maybe evolution wiped it out
so just the strong survived
And no-one with that feeling could exist
in the race to stay alive
Love makes you crazy
love makes you cry ...
Love makes you crazy
love makes you cry ...

Mississippi Squirrel Revival
Mississippi Squirrel Revival
Composer(s): C.W. Kalb, Jr. - Carlene Kalb
Performer(s): Ray Stevens
and multiple other artists
Well, when I was a kid I'd take a trip
Ev'ry summer down to Mississipp
To visit my granny in her antebellum world
I'd run barefooted all day long
Climbin' trees free as a song
And one day I happened to catch myself a squirrel
Well, I stuffed him down in an old shoe box
Punched a couple of holes in the top
And when Sunday came, I snuck him into Church
I was sittin' way back in the very last pew
Showin' him to my good buddy, Hugh
When that squirrel got loose and went totally berserk
Well, what happened next is hard to tell
Some thought it was heaven, others thought it was hell
But the fact that somethin' was among us was plain to see
As the choir sang "I Surrender All"
The squirrel ran up Harv Newlan's coveralls
Harv leaped to his feet and said
"Somethin's got a hold on me", Yeow!!
The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They were jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!
Well, Harv hit the aisles dancin' and screamin'
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon
And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his Fruit-Of-The-Looms
He fell to his knees to plead and beg
And the squirrel ran out of his britches leg
Unobserved, to the other side of the room
All the way down to the amen pew
Where sat Sister Bertha better-than-you
Who'd been watchin' all the commotion with sadistic glee
But you should've seen the look in her eyes
When that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs
She jumped to her feet and said "Lord have mercy on me"
As the squirrel made laps inside her dress
She began to cry and then to confess
To sins that would make a sailor blush with shame
She told of gossip and church dissension
But the thing that got the most attention
Was when she talked about her love life
And then she started naming names
The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They were jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!
Well seven deacons and the pastor got saved
And twenty-five thousand dollars got raised
And fifty volunteered for missions in the Congo on the spot
And even without an invitation
There were at least five hundred rededications
And we all got baptized, whether we needed it or not
Now you've heard the bible story I guess
How he parted the waters for Moses to pass
Oh, the miracles God has brought to this old world
But the one I'll remember 'til my dyin' day
Is how he put that Church back on the narrow way
With a half crazed Mississippi squirrel
The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They was jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!
The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They was jumpin' pews and...

Garden Of Peace
Garden Of Peace
Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell; Gerry Beckley
Performer(s): America
I look inside at the scarlet room
Places to hide in the dusty gloom
A noisy clock and a silver spoon
A china cup on the mantlepiece
Gathering dust as it did in the east
And just outside lies the garden of peace
Oh, tell me is this really true
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
Tell me over, over and over
Tell me is this really happening
Inside this world it's beautiful
Peace in this garden has come true
A mirror pond reflects the dawn
Over the banks, 'cross the emerald lawn
A breeze has come and I'm carried along
So follow the path through the knowing trees
And each time you laugh, it is love you release
That love will come back in the garden of peace
So, tell me is this really true
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
Tell me over, over and over
Tell me is this really happening
Inside this world it's beautiful
Peace in the garden has come true
Oh, tell me is this really true
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
Tell me over, over and over
Tell me is this really happening
Inside this world it's beautiful
Peace in the garden has come true ...

Mississippi River Queen
Composer(s): David Allan Coe
Performer(s): David Allan Coe
Hey, California you don't know me
New York City you can't show me
Anything I haven't seen at least a hundred times before
I still love you, New Orleans, Mississippi River Queen
'Cause when it comes to loving you beat all I've ever seen!
And I've seen a lot of ladies in my time
I've had me a few women that were fine
Ah, but I don't need no city woman messing with my mind
So goodbye San Francisco girl, I'm leaving you behind
And I've had some Senoritas down in Mexico
I met a few potatoes up in Idaho
I've had a few Peaches in Georgia and that San Antoine Rose
If the Good Lord made any better
That you He's the only one who knows

Composer(s): Gene Pitney
Performer(s): Gene Pitney
She's fresh as a daisy all of time
She's smelling like a lilac too
But in the garden of love I wanna tell ya
She something wild, wild, wild and new
Her lips are like a rose a fiery red
forget-me-not eyes deep blue
But in the garden of love I wanna tell ya
She's something wild, wild, wild and new
She's my lily of the valley with a rare perfume
Got the beauty of an orchid in full bloom
Her sunflower smile is something to see
And her two lips are much too much for me
But she's as sweet as the apple blossom is to the bee
As pure as the violet too
But in the garden of love I wanna tell ya
She's something wild, wild, wild and new
She's my lily of the valley with a rare perfume
Got the beauty of an orchid in full bloom
Her sunflower smile is something to see
And her two lips are much too much for me
But she's as sweet as the apple blossom is to the bee
As pure as the violet too
But in the garden of love I wanna tell ya
She's something wild, wild, wild and new
But in the garden of love I wanna tell ya
She's something wild, wild, wild and new

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
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

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!

To turn me on just set my dial
And let me love you for a little while, ooooooh!
