Can I Forget You
Can I Forget You
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Irene Dunne
Soon you leave me
This last night flying
Pale stars are weeping
Sad breezes sigh
When you leave me
Can love end with trying?
Can love so living
So quickly die?
Refrain:
Can I forget you?
Or will my heart remind me
That once we walked in a moonlight dream?
Can I forget you
Or will my heart remind me
How sweet you made the moonlight seem
Will the glory of your nearness fade
As moonlight fades in a veil of rain?
Can I forget you
When every night reminds me
How much I want you back again
(repeat refrain)

Fast Freight
Fast Freight
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio;
The Easy Riders; Tim Hardin; Serendipity Singers
As I listen for the whistle, lie awake and wait
Wish the railroad didn't run so near
'Cause the rattle and clatter of that old fast freight
keeps a-makin' music in my ear
Go bum again
Go bum again
Oo
[Chorus:]
Hear the whistle blow
Hear the whistle blow
Clickety clack, clickety clack
The wheels are saying to the railroad track
Well, if you go, you can't come back
If you go, you can't come back
If you go, you can't come back
Well, I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I used to be
work as hard as any man in town
I got a purty gal
She thinks the world of me
Man would be a fool to let her down
Go bum again
Go bum again
Oo
[Chorus]
So ev'ry night I listen, wonder if it's late
In my dreams I'm ridin' on that train
I feel my pulse a-beatin' with that old fast freight
and thank the Lord I'm just a bum again
Go bum again
Go bum again
Oo
[Chorus]

Down On The Banks Of The Ohio
Down On The Banks Of The Ohio
((Finnish Version: Yksi Kasvoton (Lea Laven) - 1972))
(Traditional)
First release by: Ernest V. Stoneman - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists
I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

The Bandit
The Bandit
Composer(s): Milton Nascimento - Zeb Turner - Michael Carr
Performer(s): Percy Faith
and multiple other artists
(Olé, a cangacheiro, you bandit from Brazil)
(Olé, he is the bandit, the bandit from Brazil)
I'm the quickest on the trigger
When I shoot I shoot to kill
I'm a hero down in Rio
Where they talk about me still
Once I robbed a big ranchero
Who was rich beyond compare
And to ransom held his daughter
She was young and she was fair
(Olé, a cangacheiro, you bandit from Brazil)
(Olé, he is the bandit, the bandit from Brazil)
She was sweet and she was tender
There was lovelight in her eyes
In my arms she soon surrendered
Very much to my surprise
I refused her father's ransom
And I kept the greater prize
Now at night we ride together
'Neath the blue Brazilian sky
Adios to you, Amigo, Adios to you, my friend
Ole, O Cangacheiro, the Bandit of Brazil

Maybe someday I'll be strong
Maybe it won't be long

Maybe I'll be real strong
Maybe I'll do things right
Maybe I'll start tonight
You'll learn to cry like me
Baby let's just wait and see
Maybe I'll start tonight
And do things right
You'll control me
Oh so boldly
Rule me 'til I'm free
'Til the pain that shakes me
Finally makes me
Get up off of my knees
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe I'll be fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts too
But, I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I'll break hearts
And be as fast as you
Uhhh
You'll control me
Oh so boldly
Rule me 'til I'm free
'Til the pain that shakes me
Finally makes me
Get up off of my knees
Ahh, Sookie
Maybe I'll be fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts too
I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I'll break hearts
And be as fast as you

The Band Played On
Composer(s): Charles Ward - John F. Palmer
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo & His Orch.
and multiple other artists
Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde
And the band played on!
He'd glide cross the floor with the girl he ador'd
And the band played on!
His brain was so loaded it nearly exploded
The poor girl would shake with alarm!
He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curl
And the band played on!

And the band played on!

Can I Change My Mind
Composer(s): Barry Despenza - Carl Wolfolk
First release by: Tyrone Davis - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Aww, she didn't bat an eye
As I packed my bags to leave
I thought she would start to cry
Or sit around my room and grieve
But y'all, the girl, she fooled me this time
She acted like I was the last thing on her mind
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
I just wanna change my mind
Baby, let me change my mind
As I took those steps
Toward that open door
Knowing all the time
Oh, Lord, I just didn't wanna go
But she didn't give me no sign
Nothing that would make me change my mind
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
Please, please, please, baby
I just wanna change my mind
Oh, I played my games
Many times before
But peoples, let me tell y'all
Oh, I never reached the door
But ooh, the winds howl tonight
I keep lookin' back but my baby's nowhere in sight
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
Please, please, please, baby
Baby, let me change my mind

There's a brand new dance
But I don't know it's name
That people from bad homes
Do again and again
It's big and it's bland
Full tension and fear
They do it over there
But we don't do it here
Fashion - Turn to the left
Fashion - Turn to the right
We are the goon squad
And we're coming to town
Beep-beep - Beep-beep
Listen to me - Don't listen to me
Talk to me - Don't talk to me
Dance with me - Don't dance with me
No - Beep-beep - Beep-beep
There's a brand new talk
But it's not very clear
That people from good homes
Are talking this year
It's loud and it's tasteless
I've not heard it before
Shout it while you're dancing
On the -er dance floor
Fashion - Turn to the left
Fashion - Turn to the right
We are the goon squad
And we're coming to town
Beep-beep - Beep-beep
Listen to me - Don't listen to me
Talk to me - Don't talk to me
Dance with me - Don't dance with me
No - Beep-beep - Beep-beep
Oop bop - do do do do do do do do

The Ballerina
The Ballerina
Composer(s): David Spinozza
Performer(s): David Spinozza
She's an angel on her toes
She thinks nobody knows what
She's feeling
She's always on the run
She's got no time for no one
Her laughs turns into cries
For loves that passed her by
What is this strong desire
That keeps her reaching higher?
Like a symphony in grace
She will tune the empty space
Like a lover, like a child
She'll drive you wild
She will dance - dance - dance
Till her life is through
She will dance - dance - dance
Till there is no more
And wht's it for?
She's waltzing through the air
She hasn't got a care or a worry
Planted feet upon the ground
She's neither lost or found
Like a symphony in grace
She will tune the empty space
Like a lover, like a child
She'll drive you wild
She will dance - dance - dance
Till her life is through
She will dance - dance - dance
Till there is no more
And what's it for?

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!)
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
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
