Can I Canoe You Up The River?
Can I Canoe You Up The River?
Composer(s): Marjorie Goetschius - Edna Osser
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band
Can I canoe you up the river
Can I canoe you up the stream
Can I canoe you up the river
Like I did in last night's dream
We'll drift a moment in the moonlight
I'll fish for little things to say
And with the help of Mr. Moonlight
Maybe you'll see things my way
I tried to tell you how I care
But never made the grade
Now things might change if I could have
A setting for my serenade
So, can I canoe you up the river
I'll be as nice as I can be
And hope that while we're up the river
You'll go overboard for me
Can he canoe you up the river
Can he canoe you up the stream
Can he canoe you up the river
Like I did in last night? dream
You'll drift a moment in the moonlight
You'll fish for little things to say
And with the help of Mr. Moonlight
Maybe you'll see things my way
I tried to tell you how I care
But never made the grade
Now things might change if I could have
A setting for my serenade
So, can I canoe you up the river
I'll be as nice as I can be
And hope that while we're up the river
You'll go overboard for me

Fascination
Fascination
Composer(s): Dick Manning; Fidenco Dante Marchetti
Performer(s): Jane Morgan;
and various other artists
(Fascination turned to love)
It was fascination, I know
And it might have ended right there at the start
Just a passing glance, just a brief romance
And I might have gone on my way empty-hearted
It was fascination, I know
Seeing you alone with the moonlight above
Then I touched your hand and next moment I kissed you
Fascination turned to love
It was fascination, I know
Seeing you alone with the moonlight above
Then I touched your hand and next moment I kissed you
Fascination turned to love
(It was fascination)

Ballad Of You And Me And Pooneil
Ballad Of You And Me And Pooneil
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
If you were a bird and you lived very high
knew even the wind as the breeze came by
say to the wind as it took you away
That's where I wanted to go today"
And I do know that I need to have you around
Love like a mountain springtime
flashing through the rivers of my mind
it's what I feel for you
You and me go walking south
And we see all the world around us
The colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you
And I do know that I need to have you around
And I do, I do know that I need to have you around
I have a house where I can go
When there's too many people around me
I can sit and watch all the people
Down below goin' by me
Halfway down the stair is a stair
Where I sit and think about you and me
But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin'
Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die
When I die, when I'm high, when I die?
If you were a cloud and you sailed up there
You sail on water as blue as air
You'd see me here in the fields and say
"Doesn't the sky look green today?"

Can Anyone Explain? (No, No, No!)
Can Anyone Explain? (No, No, No!)
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin - George David Weiss
Performer(s): The Ames Brothers
and multiple other artists
Can anyone explain the thrill of a kiss
No! No! No!
But when two eager lips are pressed against yours
You'll know, yes, you'll know
Can anyone explain the glow of romance
No! No! No!
But when you hear the phrase "It's you I adore"
You'll know, yes, you'll know
And you will find, to give love a start
Don't think with your mind, just feel with your heart
Can anyone explain the wonder of love
No! No! No!
But now that you and I are sharing a sigh
We know, yes, we know
And you will find, to give love a start
Don't think with your mind, just feel with your heart
Can anyone explain the wonder of love
No! No! No!
But now that you and I are sharing a sigh
We know, yes, we know

Fascinating Rhythm
Fascinating Rhythm
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Susannah McCorkle;
and various other artists
Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
That pit-a-pats through my brain
So darn persistent
The day isn't distant
When it'll drive me insane
Comes in the morning
Without any warning
And hangs around me all day
I'll have to sneak up to it
Someday, and speak up to it
I hope it listens when I say
Refrain:
Fascinating Rhythm
You've got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm
I'm all a-quiver
When a mess you're making!
The neighbours want to know
Why I'm always shaking
Just like a flivver
Each morning I get up with the sun
Start a-hopping
Never stopping
To find at night no work has been done
I know that
Once it didn't matter
But now you're doing wrong
When you start to patter
I'm so unhappy
Won't you take a day off?
Decide to run along
Somewhere far away off
And make it snappy!
Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!
Fascinating rhythm
Oh won't you stop picking on me?

Ballad Of Wes Tancred
Ballad Of Wes Tancred
Composer(s): Josef Myrow - Robert Wells
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
Come all you good people and lend me your ear
I got a sad story that you oughta hear
The wind it was howlin' 'round Sam Older's shack
The night that his killer stepped out of the black
And shot Sam down from the rear
Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
A pal right down to the end
Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
The black-hearted, white-livered, backbitin' sidewinder
Murdered his own best friend
It happened on Friday the thirteenth of May
The coroner carried Sam Older away
If I don't know nothin'
There's one thing's a fact
The hole was much bigger in front than in back
Now you don't kill a brave man that way
Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
A pal right down to the end
Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
The black-hearted, white-livered, backbitin' sidewinder
Murdered is own best friend
Now folks when you sleep
Put a bolt on your door
Wes Tancred is loose with his Colt 44
Don't lie on your stomach when you go to bed
'Cause he'll take a shot at the back of your head
The way he done it before
Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
A pal right down to the end
Wes Tancred, Wes Tancred
The black-hearted, white-livered, backbitin' sidewinder
Murdered is own best friend

Campanas De Plata
Campanas De Plata
Performer(s): Raphael
En un borriquillo van para belen
La virgen maria junto a san jose
Y siendo santos señores
Pasan frio y calores
En un borriquillo camino tambien
Pobre pelegrino con hambre y con sed
Pero tu me alumbras coclilla encendida
Estrella bonita que luce en belen
Son con este son, son los campanilleros
Son con este son, una ronda de amor
Son con este son de campanas de plata
Luminosa serenata, son con este son

Farther Down The Line
Farther Down The Line
Composer(s): Lyle Lovett
Performer(s): Lyle Lovett; Willie Nelson
Let's have a hand for that young cowboy
And wish him better luck next time
And hope we see him up in Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the line
This time he sure drew a bad one
One that nobody could ride
But by the way he pulled his hat on
You knew he'd be there for the fight
Chorus:
And it's the classic contradiction
The unavoidable affliction
Well it don't take much to predict son
The way it always goes
One day she says she loves you
And the next she'll be tired of you
And push will always come to shove you
On that midnight rodeo
He almost made it to the buzzer
Somehow he gave up in the end
They put one hand around the other
And let that pickup man on in
And it was his last chance to ride
And now he'll have to move along
But he knows back in his mind
He won't be away for long
Chorus:
And it's the classic contradiction
The unavoidable affliction
Well it don't take much to predict son
The way it always goes
Because one day she says she loves you
And the next she'll be tired of you
And push will always come to shove you
On that midnight rodeo
So let's have a hand for that young cowboy
And wish him better luck next time
And hope we see him up in Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the line

The Ballad Of The Shape Of Things
The Ballad Of The Shape Of Things
Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
Completely round is the perfect pearl
The oyster manufactures
Completely round is the steering wheel
That leads to compound fractures
Completely round is the golden fruit
That hangs from the orange tree
Yes, the circle shape is quite renowned
And sad to say, it can be found
In the low down, dirty runaround
My true love gave to me, yes
My true love gave to me
Completely square is the velvet box
He said my ring would be in
Completely square is the envelope
He said farewell to me in
Completely square is the handkerchief
I flourish constantly
As I dry my eyes of the tears I shed
And blow my nose that turned bright red
Completely square is my true love's head
He will not marry me, no, he will not marry me
Rectangular is the hotel door
My true love tried to sneak through
Rectangular is the transom
Over which I had to peek through
Rectangular is the hotel room I entered angrily
And rectangular is the wooden box
Where lies my love neath the golden phlox
They say he died from the chicken pox
In part I must agree: one chick too many had he!
Triangular is the piece of pie
I eat to ease my sorrow
Triangular is the hatchet blade
I plan to hide tomorrow
Triangular the relationship
That now has ceased to be
And triangular is the garment thin
That fastens on with a safety pin
To a prize I had no wish to win
It's a lasting memory that my true love gave to me

Yes, I'm smiling
Everytime you pass me by
I know you wonder, why I never cry
But let me tell you, happiness (Happiness)
My happiness (Happiness)
Is just a camouflage (Camouflage)

(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) Ooo, baby
(Open your eyes and see I'm crying) I gotta broken heart
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) I've got a broken heart
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) Just a care of love
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) Just a care of love
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) I gotta broken heart
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) I've got a broken heart
(Open your eyes and see I'm crying) Just a care of love
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) Ooo

Farther Along
Farther Along
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; The Byrds
(We'll understand it all by and by)
Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong
Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

Ballad Of The One Eyed Jacks
Ballad Of The One Eyed Jacks
Composer(s): Morgan
Performer(s): Johnny Burnette
A one-eyed Jack rode to Monterey in the heat of the blazing sun
When Sheriff Longworth saw Kid Rio, he strapped on his fast gun
The sheriff didn't trust the one eyed Jack nor the deadly smile he wore
An' when that night he shamed Louisa, in vengeance the sheriff swore
Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild
One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile
Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own
Ten cracks of the sheriff's whip cut deep
The pain-filled Rio cursed
"You'd better kill me while you can or I will get you first"
The angry sheriff raised his gun butt high, then smashed Rio's trigger hand
"You're done for now, you one-eyed Jack, you will kill no other man"
Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild
One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile
Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own
The creaky iron doors slammed shut tight
The one-eyed Jack was jailed
With Louisa's help he soon escaped for his true love had not failed
The horses rode off with the lovers two as the smokin' six guns burst
The sheriff aimed his gun at the one-eyed Jack, but the one-eyed Jack shot first
Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild
One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile
Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own

Cammina Cammina
Cammina Cammina
((French Version: Mamina (by Pascal Danel))
Performer(s): Dalida
Verso il sole se ne va
Di lui il mondo che ne sà
Io soltanto soffriro
Sono l'ultima che amo
Cammina, Cammina
Che cercava non so più
Io gli ho dato un po di più
Il moi letto e un po di me
Senza capire poi perchè
Cammina, Cammina
Mi ha lasciato le parole
Le mie tristezze stese al sole
Mi ha lasciato con il grano
Ma il cuore moi è lontano
Lui che aveva nelle mani
Uno a uno i miei domani
Nel vento tiepido di maggio
Senza coraggio se ne và
Cammina, Cammina
Mi ha lasciato le parole
Le mie tristezze stese al sole
Mi ha lasciato con grano
Ma il cuore moi è lontano
Verso io, io soltanto soffriro
Sono l'ultima che amo
Cammina,Cammina
La, la, la...
Cammina, Cammina

Farsante
Composer(s): Homero Aguilar
Performer(s): Javier Solis; Chelo Silva
Con caricias dulces me dejaste ciego
y viví en tus brazos y viví en tus labios un amor fugaz
Y hoy que abrí los ojos te veo tal como eres
tú vives la farsa, tú vives la farsa de un amor falaz
Déjame decirte farsante, farsante eres muy farsante
déjame decirte que ahora te odio como antes te quise
Porque soy cobarde no puedo reñirte lo que me has quitado
llévatelo todo, mi vida, mi alma, mi amor destrozado
Que el cielo se apague por todas las partes donde tú te encuentres
que se sequen todos los labios que busques donde refugiarte
y que al fin vencida te arrastre la vida llevando en tu mente
mi grito de angustia: farsante, farsante
Que el cielo se apague por todas las partes donde tú te encuentres
que se sequen todos los labios que busques donde refugiarte
y que al fin vencida te arrastre la vida llevando en tu mente
mi grito de angustia: farsante, farsante

Ballad Of The Blue Cyclone
Ballad Of The Blue Cyclone
Composer(s): Glen Sutton
Performer(s): Ray Stevens
Well, you've heard of Samson and Hercules
They both brought a lot of folks to their knees
And throughout history their legends have grown and grown
Then there was Tarzan and Superman and Captain Marvel with the cool Shazam
But there weren't even any that compare to the Blue Cyclone
In a little bar one Wedensday night, me and ole Bill was about half tight
Comparin' Dolly Pardon to Lana Turner and Liz
When Bill winked at me and downed his beer and said
"Hoss, there ain't nothin' happenin' here!"
"Let's go to the rasslin' matches where the action is!"
Well, I'd never seen the matches before and when we reached the arena door
The crowd was already backed up out in the street
And people were pushin' and shovin' like cattle
Just gettin' in line was a heck of a battle
We had to fight like hell but we finally got ring side seats
Then we bought a progam as we passed though the door
Went section D, seats three and four
And about that time the announcer stepped in the ring
He said, "Tonight's the greatest card ever been signed
We got a tag team match that'll blow yer mind!"
And they lowered the lights and the crowd began to scream
He introduced the Spider from parts unknown with his trusty partner, the Blue Cyclone
They were takin' on a team that never had been beat
Well, the ref checked 'em over the rules were explained
And somebody hollered, "The Spider's got a chain!"
And in come the Vulture with his manager, Sneaky Pete
Then they rang the bell and all hell broke loose
My legs were shakin' like a rubber goose
'Cause I'd never seen anything like this, not even in the war!
Cyclone put the Vulture in an airplane spin
Then he body slammed him then he did it again
And I swear I didn't see how that cat could take much more
Then a little old lady right next to me
Why, if she was a day, she was eighty-three
But she raised more sin than any man I've ever seen
She screamed and cussed in the Cyclone's face
Till they carried her away like a basket case
Then the po-lice came and formed a circle around the ring
Then on the second row up jumped a man
I could see a pocket knife in his hand
He hollered, "Let me in there and I'll mop up the floor!"
His wife reached up and grabbed his sleeve
And I saw him breath a sigh of releif
And then he sat down and he never did say no more
It was right about there in the thick of things
That my buddy, Bill threw a chair in the ring
And that's when I knew that we'd better head for the door
'Cause I saw that Cyclone lookin' at us and he rubbed his head and started to cuss
And I knew if he caught us he'd break Bill's neck for sure
Well, where we'd parked wasn't that far and Bill ran so fast he beat me to the car
And locked the doors and wasn't 'bout to let nobody in
And I turned around and Cyclone was there and he said
"Hey, punk! You forgot yer chair!"
And by the look in his eyes I knew that this was the end
Then he jumped up real high in the air and both feet caught me with a flyin' mare
And I saw stars when I hit that hard concrete
It broke both of my arms and three of my ribs, it's the closet thing I've come to bein' killed
That's the last thing I remember before he put me to sleep!
Put that sleeper on me...
You know, I oughtta slam Bill! Heh! Lockin' the car doors like that!
Left me out there to fight the Cyclone by myself...
Heh! I ain't a rassler!
I'll tell you one thing... Cyclone was lucky I was drinkin'!
Soon as I get well... He's had it!
I'll get him if it's the last thing I ever do...

Composer(s): Alfredo Gil
Performer(s): Javier Solís
Nos confiamos tantas cosas nos hablamos dulcemente
y entre besos y más besos nos amamos tiernamente
Fueron tantas confidencias remembranzas del pasado
y con lágrimas clavamos del amor nuestro pecado
Hemos tomado caminos diferentes uno del otro
a Dios le pido con fervor olvidarte poco a poco
Nos miramos con tristeza, suspiramos hondamente
y sin decirnos adiós nos dijimos hasta siempre
Hemos tomado caminos diferentes uno del otro
a Dios le pido con fervor olvidarte poco a poco
Nos miramos con tristeza, suspiramos hondamente
y sin decirnos adiós nos dijimos hasta siempre

Faro-La, Faro-Li (Song Of The New Wine)
Composer(s): Curt Siodmak; Hans J. Salter
Performer(s): Adia Kuznetzoff;
Judy Kaye And The Scarlettes
Come one and all and sing a song
Faro-la, faro-li!
For life is short, but death is long
Faro-la, faro-li!
There'll be no music in the tomb
So sing with joy and down with gloom
Tonight the new wine is in bloom
Faro-la, faro-li!
Tonight we toast our happy host
Faro-la, faro-li!
For he's the man we love the most
Faro-la, faro-li!
He's barrel-chested, dipper-lipped
For drinking wine, he's well-equipped
But where's his chest? It must have slipped
Faro-la, faro-li!
If Franzec never drank at all
Faro-la, faro-li!
He might not care for alchohol
Faro-la, faro-li!
But since he drinks them by the score
He loves his bottles more and more
He even likes them on the floor
Faro-la, faro-li!
Now here's a pair of newly-weds
Faro-la, faro-li!
With love and kisses in their heads
Faro-la, faro-li!
Tonight theres only he and she
Just one and two, as you can see
But very soon they may be three
Faro-la, faro-li!
The wine tonight is nobly blessed
Faro-la, faro-li!
By such a lady and her guest
Faro-la, faro-li!
To them a toast, come drink with me
That they may ever happy be
And may they live eternally
Faro-la, faro-li!

Performer(s): Johnny Western
and multiple other artists
Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam
Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home
Have gun, will travel reads the card of a man
A knight without armour in a savage land
His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin
Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam
Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home
He travels on to wherever he must
A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust
There are campfire legends that the plainsmen spin
Of the man with the gun, of the man called Paladin
Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam
Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home
Far from home
Far from home
