Mountain Of Love
Mountain Of Love
((French Version: Les Monts Près Du Ciel (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1965))
Composer(s): Harold Dorman
First release by: Harold Dorman - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Standing on a mountain looking down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
Teardrops fallin' down a mountainside
Many times I've been here, many times I've cried
We used to be so happy when we were in love
High on a mountain of love
Night after night I'm a-standing here alone
Weepin' my heart out till cold gray dawn
Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too
Hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you
Tryin' hard to find you, somewhere up above
High on a mountain of love
A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' and they shoulda been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love
A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' that shoulda been ours
That's why I'm so lonely
My dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love

Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Smokey Greene
Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
The kind that lingers through the years
The kind that's made by God up above
Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
Now you can have the girls with rosy cheeks
The ones that coo like turtle dove
I just want a simple girl that's sweet
So, Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
Ah Leon…
Ah do it pretty son…
Now you can have the girls that's dressed so nice
From their head down to their little feet
But if you want some real good advice
The old fashioned girls just can't be beat
So, Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
The kind that lingers through the years
The kind that's made by God up above
Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
Ah Buddy now…
Now you can have the girls with worldly ways
That's had a dozen so called love affair
But, they'll never make me their slave
I want a simple girl that's on the square
So, Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
The kind that lingers through the years
The kind that's made by God up above
Just Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love

Take Me To The River
Take Me To The River
Composer(s): Al Green - Teenie Hodges
First release by: Al Green - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't, till I can't take no more of it
Take me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why I love you like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river and drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down

Mountain Greenery
Mountain Greenery
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart
Originally performed by: Sterling Holloway & Bobbie Perkins
Covered by various other artists
On the first of May, it is moving day
Spring is here, so blow your job
Throw your job away!
Now's the time to trust
To your wanderlust
In the city's dust you wait, must you wait
Just you wait.......!
In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
While you love your lover
Let blue skies, be your coverlet
When it rains we'll laugh at the weather
And if you're good, I'll search for wood
So you can cook... while I stand looking
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home!
Simple cooking means
More than French Cuisines
I've a banquet planned which is
Sandwiches and beans
Coffee's just as grand
With a little sand
Eat and you'll grow fatter, boy
`smatter boy? Huh, huh! `Atta boy
In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
How-how-how-how-how we love sequestering
Where no pests are pestering
No dear momma holds us in tether
Mosquitoes here
Won't bite you dear
I'll let them sting, me on the finger!
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery
Far from life's machinery
Bless our mountain greenery home!

Zeg mij, Céline
je jeugd is nu voorbij

nee nee bloos maar niet
ook al heb je nog altijd geen vriend
nee bloos maar niet
nee nee bloos maar niet
jij had toch de liefste man verdiend

ons zo lang hebt verwend
een moeder voor ons bent
jij die aan ons al je liefde geeft
heb je enkel voor ons geleefd?
nee nee nee nee, bloos maar niet
nee nee bloos maar niet
ook al heb je nog altijd geen vriend
nee bloos maar niet
nee nee bloos maar niet
jij had toch de liefste man verdiend
zeg mij,Céline
waar bleef de jongeman
die zo vaak bij je kwam
je in zijn armen nam?
kon hij je zorg voor ons niet verstaan
heb jij hem daarom laten gaan?
nee nee nee nee, bloos maar niet
nee nee bloos maar niet
ook al heb je nog altijd geen vriend
nee bloos maar niet
nee nee bloos maar niet
jij had toch de liefste man verdiend
maar ja, Céline
je leven heeft wel zin
want jij was het begin
van ieder nieuw gezin
en ook al is nu je jeugd voorbij
er komt iemand, die maakt jou blij
nee nee nee nee, bloos maar niet
nee nee bloos maar niet
ook al heb je nog altijd geen vriend
nee bloos maar niet
nee nee bloos maar niet
jij had toch de liefste man verdiend
huil maar niet huil maar niet
onze liefde die gaat niet voorbij
huil maar niet nee
huil maar niet
er komt iemand en die maakt je blij

Covered by multiple other artists
If you feel that it's real I'm on trial
And I'm here in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and I'm spent with high treason
Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Well I know he's not old
And I'm told he's a virgin
For he may be she
But what I'm told is never for certain

Moulin des amours
Tu tournes tes ailes
Au ciel des beaux jours
Moulin des amours
Mon cœur a dansé
Sur tes ritournelles
Sans même y penser
Mon cœur a dansé
Ah, mon Dieu, qu' ils étaient jolis
Ces yeux qui valsaient dans les miens
On s' aimait presqu' à la folie
Et cet amour te plaisait bien
Des mots de bonheur
Chantaient sur tes ailes
Des mots de bonheur
Simple comme nos cœurs
Dis moi chéri, dis-moi que tu m' aimes
Dis-moi chéri que c' est pour la vie
Comme on a dansé
Sur tes ritournelles
Tous deux enlacés
Comme on a dansé!
Que de fois l' on a répété
Ces mots qui chantaient dans nos cœurs
Et pourtant que m' est-il resté
De tant de rêves de bonheur?
Un simple moulin
Qui tourne ses ailes
Un simple moulin
Rouge comme mon cœur!
Dis moi chéri, dis-moi que tu m' aimes
Dis-moi chéri que c' est pour la vie

Take Me To The Land Of Jazz
Take Me To The Land Of Jazz
Composer(s): Edgar Leslie - Bert Kalmar
It was down in Tennessee
That the Jazzy melody
Originated then waited for popularity
Now in every cabaret
It's the only thing they play
I love to hear it, must be near it
That's why I say
There is music in each breeze
Even tombones grow on trees
You hear 'em moaning and groaning their tuneful harmonies
Every cotton planter's son
When he meets his lovin' "hon"
Is simply pestered and requested
To join the fun
"Take me to the Land of Jazz
Let me hear the kind of blues that Memphis has
I want to step
To a tune that's full of ginger and pep
Pick 'em up and lay 'em down
Learn to Razmataz
Let me give you a warning
We won't get home until morning
'Cause everybody's full of Jazzbo
In the lovin' Land of Jazz"

Performer(s): Boyz II Men; The Trammps
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast fling
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft
It's long overdue but now
Philly is slammin'
Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD
The east coast family
Never skipped a beat, na
While cooling on South street
Jet black Benz, plenty of friends
And all the Philly steaks you could eat
Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
Could it really happen?
Or do dreams fade away
Then we started singing them
They said it sounded smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast fling
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft
The spotlight is on us now
Watch us do this
Da da, daaa da da, da da da da da da
Live and direct from Philly town
Rap and hype and we can get down
We are ready to roll
So now the world will know that we were
Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
Could it really happen? Or do dreams fade away
Then we started singing them
They said it sounded smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast fling
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft
Doom doom doom da da, doom doom doom da da
Da di da di da da, da da, daa daa daa
Doom doom doom da da, doom doom doom da da
Da di da di da da, da da, daa daa daa
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast fling
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft

Cauchemar Psychomoteur
((Adapted from: Motorpsycho Nitemare (Bob Dylan) - 1964))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Hugues Aufray - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Hugues Aufray
Comme j'avais beaucoup marché
J'étais fatigué
Je vois une espèce de ferme
Je me dis j'vais m'arrêter
J'ai dit hé hé là-dedans
Y a-t-il quelqu'un de vivant
Je me sentais vraiment seul
Devant la maison
Quand soudain devant moi
Un grand gaillard de fermier
Vient me braquer son canon
À la hauteur du menton
Je tombais sur les genoux
En criant mais vous êtes fous
Moi j'aime bien les fermiers
Ne me tuez pas s'il vous plaît
Il s'en est fallu d'un rien
Qu'il ne me tire comme un lapin
C'est vous l'espèce de vagabond
Qui vient pour mendier
J'ai dit non non non
Je n'suis pas c'que vous croyez
En droit je suis licencié
J'ai fait l'Université
Alors arriva la fille
Qui s'appelait Rita
Ell' semblait tout droit sortie
D'la Dolce Vita
Et je me mis en devoir
De l'amadouer comme son père
Je lui dis la jolie ferme
Que vous avez là
Dit's-moi qu'est ce qu'un étudiant
Connaît à l'agriculture
J'ai répondu braves gens
Je suis un puits de culture
En voyant mes ongles sales
Il sut que je travaillais
Il me dit d'un air futé
Vous avez l'air fatigué
Oh oui j'ai fait huit cent bornes
Et j'en ai vraiment plein l'dos
Il me jeta sur la paille
Avec les bestiaux
Tâchez de rester tranquille
Ou sinon moi je me fâche
Ne touchez pas à ma fille
Et demain faut traire les vaches
Je ne dormais que d'un œil
Quand Rita vint me secouer
Elle me faisait de l'œil
Comme Tony Perkins
Elle me dit viens prendre un' douche
Je vais te montrer où c'est
J'ai répondu hey hey hey
C'coup là on m'la déjà fait
J'essayais de m'défiler
Je n'savais pas trop comment
Mais Rita a insisté
Vraiment très très gentiment
Je n'pouvais plus m'en tirer
J'avais l'air d'un lâche
J'aurais pas dû accepter
D'aller demain traire les vaches
Pour sortir de cette histoire
Fallait trouver un moyen
J'ai crié Fidel Castro
C'est un bon copain
Rita parût suffoquée
J'ai cru que c'était gagné
Quand le fermier soudain surgit
En hurlant qu'est ce que t'as dit
J'ai dit vive Fidel Castro
Vous m'avez compris
Il me tomba sur le dos
A bras raccourcis
Rita parla de sa mère
Qui dormait au cimetière
Tandis qu'le vieux me flanquait
Un coup dans l'buffet
En enfer je t'expédie
Si tu n't'en vas pas tout d'suite
Espèce d'étudiant pourri
Espèce de rat communiste
Il me jeta à la tête
Un paquet d'readers digest
Moi je fis une pirouette
Le vieux prit son escopette
J'éclatais par la fenêtre
A cent quatre vingt à l'heure
Et j'atterris en tempête
Dans un pot de fleurs
Revenez criait Rita
Le père chargeait son engin
Quand le soleil se leva
Moi j'étais déjà très loin
Même si Rita est partie
Je n'reviendrai pas d'sitôt
Chez ce vieux fermier maudit
Car j'ai trouvé un boulot
Mais la sacrée vieille canaille
Espère bien me faire cueillir
Un jour par son F B I
Mais il peut courir
Je continue à penser
Envers et contre tous
Sans liberté de parler
On est moins que rien du tout

Give It All You Got
Give It All You Got
Composer(s): Carol Ide; Steve Ide
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Let's not sit here, talk about it baby
It's got to start in your heart or else it'll pass on by
It's what pleases you when your love seems new
That puts the light back in your eyes
You got what it takes, and I know it make it through
Chorus:
You've got to give it all that you got
Honey that's the thing to do
You've got to give it your best shot
Even when the world's closing' in on you
It's not an easy life we're livin'
But in the end if it's love you're givin'
Don't be afraid, don't give it up
Give it all you got
There's people around who are standin' right by your side
Walkin' hand in hand, they could follow you up to the sky
But if you leave 'em alone, they'll be on their own
And then there'll be reason to try,
What's the use payin' dues when you got no reason why
Chorus
What do you do when there's so much in you
You can't feel the road that you're on
Say what needs to be said, get it all out your head
And you're back on the road before long
Chorus

Take me in your arms
Hold me for a while, hey baby

I’m seein’ you, darling, for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go

We all must feel heartache sometime
Right now, right now I’m feeling mine

Let me know joy before I grieve
Just once more, darling, before you leave
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me just a little while
I’m losing you and my happiness
My life is over, I must confess
I’ll never, never see your smilin’ face no more
I’ll never, never hear your knock on my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy just one more time
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me just a little while
I said I would beg, I said I would plead
Here I am, baby; I’m beggin’ you please
Baby please, baby please
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me just a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
