Love Me All The Time


Love Me All The Time
Composer(s): Wm. K. Wells - Hal R. Dyson



Wonderful girl my precious pearl
You are the world to me
Were we to part
't would break my heart
So listen to my plea

I worry dear worry in fear
Some day your love may wane
Say dear that you, e'er will be true
Tell me oh tell me again

Sweet heart of mine please love me all of the time
Deep in your dear heart enshrine
a loving destiny my own for me my dearie
Honey you know I love you I love you so
Thats why I want you want you with love undying
Can't you hear my heart sighing
When I am blue the hours I spent with you
are like a rosary of love to me
divine dear heart of mine
don't fill my poor heart with pain
Don't say I'm pleading in vain
Oh dearie love me love me love me all the time

Mister And Mississippi


Mister And Mississippi
Composer(s): Irving Gordon
Performer(s): Tennessee Ernie Ford
and various other artists



I can't recall my Mother, I don't remember Dad
Mister and Mississippi was all I ever had
Oh, I was born to wander, oh, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home

Oh, I was born to wander, oh, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home

My cradle was the river, my school a river boat
My teacher was a gambler, the slickest one afloat
My teacher was a gambler, the slickest one afloat
He taught me not to gamble on a petticoat

Oh, I was born to wander, oh, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home

Oh! Betty Mae, I love you, I love you Betty Mae
I love you like a barefoot boy, loves a summer day
The way a wand'ring gypsy, loves the changing scenes
Just like the restless river, loves old New Orleans

Oh, I was born to wander, oh, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home

I'd love a tiny village, a quite country town
A house, a little garden, with kiddies runnin' 'round
I'd be a faithful husband, I'd be a trusting friend
Until I heard that steamboat, comin' 'round the bend

Oh, I was born to wander, oh, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home

Gardez Vos Filles


Gardez Vos Filles
Composer(s): Joël Holmes; Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Gardez vos filles!

Ce n'est pas moi qui vais vous les prendre
Gardez vos filles!
Elles ont le cœur beaucoup trop tendre
J'aurais trop peur de les blesser
Avec mes mauvaises manières
Je n'oserais pas les enlacer
De peur qu'elles cassent comme du verre
Gardez vos filles!
Leur bonne tenue me rend timide
Gardez vos filles!
Elles ont trop l'air d'être en visite
Enrubannées dans leurs dentelles
Capitonnées dans leurs velours
Comment voulez-vous que l'amour
Puisse aller jusqu'à elles?

Je ne sais pas faire la révérence
Ni les baisemains ni les yeux doux
Je ne sais pas me mettre à genoux
J'ignore tout de la bienséance
Prenez-moi comme il faut me prendre
Ou ne me prenez pas du tout
Mais laissez-moi vivre à mon goût
Un cœur se donne à bouche gourmande

Gardez vos filles
Bien à l'abri de ma bohème!
Gardez vos filles!
Protégez-les de mes "Je t'aime"
Je ne suis pas
Prince charmant
Et ça les ferait faire la grimace
Des comme moi qui trop embrasse
Qui trop embrasse et trop souvent
Gardez vos filles
Mais laissez-moi parmi les autres
Rien qu'une fille
Qui ne ressemble pas aux vôtres
A qui offrir
Toutes mes richesses
Mes rêves
De monts et de merveilles
Et lui faire une place au soleil
De ma tendresse

Love Me Again


Love Me Again
Composer(s): Gold
Performer(s): Sunny Gale; Pat Terry; Alma Cogan



Love me again, hold me close to your heart
Love me again as you did at the start
I need you more every day we're apart
Say that you love me again

Open your arms, let me hold you once more
Let me be close to the lips I adore
Tell me that things will be just as before
Say that you love me again

If I've been seen with a smile on my face
Even though we have drifted apart
Don't be misled by the smile on my face
You would find there are tears in my heart

So, don't let the tears that I cry be in vain
Whether the future brings pleasure or pain
Long as I'm near you, I'll never complain
So love me, love me again

Don't let the tears that I cry be in vain
Whether the future brings pleasure or pain
Long as I'm near you, I'll never complain
So love me, love me again

Mistakes (The Five Keys)


Mistakes
Composer(s): Horatio Nicholls; Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): The Five Keys
and various other artists



I told you lies, I was unwise
You let me know, I let you go
Why not be friends, I'll make amends
If you will just forgive me

We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes that bring heartaches
And the teardrops fall like raindrops

We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we've made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
When I said "Goodbye" to you

Though my neglect cost your respect
Must I in vain, seek it again
We've passed the worst, were things reversed
I'd be the first to help you

We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes that bring heartaches
And the teardrops fall like raindrops

We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we've made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
When I said "Goodbye" to you

Garden Song


Garden Song
Composer(s): David Mallett
Performer(s): Peter, Paul & Mary;
and various other artists



Chorus:
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
Til the rain comes tumbling down

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones,
we are made of dreams and bones
I feel the need to grow my own cause the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain I'll find my way in nature's chain
Tune my body and my brain to the music of the land

Chorus

Plant your rows straight and long,
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother earth will keep you strong if you give her love and care
An old crow watching hungrily from his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there

Chorus

Love Me A Lot


Love Me A Lot
((Spanish Version: Quiéreme Mucho (Connie Francis))
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt



Love me a lot
Sweet love of mine
How loving you are
I will always adore you

With your kisses
And your caresses
My sufferings cease to speak

When you are truly in love
As I am with you
It is impossible, my heaven
To live so far apart

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!

Come on take my hand come on little stranger
The spirits are angry stay away from danger
This is insanity this could be the end
This is insanity farewell my friend

Meet me in the graveyard we'll walk among the dead
On a midnight odyssey riding in my head

Come with me on a journey on a journey to the end

In the garden of serenity in the garden of serenity

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


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

Garden Of Love


Garden Of Love
French Title: Dans Un Jardin D'Amour
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
