The Sierry Petes

The Sierry Petes
Composer(s): Gail Gardner - Bill Simon
Performer(s): Don Edwards

Away up high in the Sierry Petes
Where the yeller pines grows tall
Ole Sandy Bob an' Buster Jig
Had a rodeer camp last fall

Oh, they taken their hosses and runnin' irons
And mabbe a dawg or two
An' they 'lowed they'd brand all the long-yered calves
That come within their view

And any old doggie that flapped long yeres
An' didn't bush up by day
Got his long yeres whittled an' his old hide scorched
In a most artistic way

Now one fine day ole Sandy Bob
He throwed his seago down
"I'm sick of this cow-pyrography
And I 'lows I'm a-goin' to town"

So they saddles up an' hits 'em a lope
Fer it warnt no sight of a ride
And them was the days when a Buckeroo
Could ile up his inside

Oh, they starts her in at the Kaintucky Bar
At the head of Whisky Row
And they winds up down by the Depot House
Some forty drinks below

They then sets up and turns around
And goes her the other way
An' to tell you the Gawd-forsaken truth
Them boys got stewed that day

As they was a-ridin' back to camp
A-packin' a pretty good load
Who should they meet but the Devil himself
A-prancin' down the road

Sez he, "You ornery cowboy skunks
You'd better hunt yer holes
Fer I've come up from Hell's Rim Rock
To gather in yer souls"

Sez Sandy Bob, "Old Devil be damned
We boys is kinda tight
But you ain't a-goin' to gather no cowboy souls
'Thout you has some kind of a fight"

So Sandy Bob punched a hole in his rope
And he swang her straight and true
He lapped it on to the Devil's horns
An' he taken his dallies too

Now Buster jig was a riata man
With his gut-line coiled up neat
So he shaken her out an' he built him a loop
An' he lassed the Devil's hind feet

Oh, they stretched him out an' they tailed him down
While the irons was a-gettin hot
They cropped and swaller-forked his yeres
Then they branded him up a lot

They pruned him up with a de-hornin' saw
An' they knotted his tail fer a joke
They then rid off and left him there
Necked to a Black-Jack oak

If you're ever up high in the Sierry Petes
An' you hear one Hell of a wail
You'll know it's that Devil a-bellerin' around
About them knots in his tail

Cold Enough To Snow

Cold Enough To Snow
Performer(s): Jennifer Warnes

Where did summer go?
How'd I miss the change of season?
All at once the wind blows rough
It's cold enough to snow

In the street below
People laugh, they got no reason
Don't they know it's cold enough to snow

When we were together
And you were staying
Funny but the weather still felt like May in did-December
Now the chill winds blow, sunny skies they're only teasing
You won't show, it's cold enough to snow

On the radio, there's a man says
'it ain't freezing'
What's he know? He didn't watch you go

Now the sun can't shine
If it wants to, fine
But it's cold enough to snow

Ridin' My Thumb To Mexico

Ridin' My Thumb To Mexico
Composer(s): Johnny Rodriguez
Performer(s): Johnny Rodriguez;
Bluegrass Etc.; Bill Emerson

This old highway seems so lonesome when you're going where you've been
And the lonesome song will make you cry time and time again
If I had listened to a friend of mine ten years ago today
I'd have a better job than what I've got today

But the billboards on the highway and the brake-lights on the cars
Make me jump out on the highway with my bag and my guitar
If she comes or if she goes it doesn't matter anymore
'cause I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico

Chorus: Ridin' my thumb to Mexico
Well it don't matter when or how I go
I'll ride this thumb till I see her again
So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico

Well the reason why she left me's not the reason that I'm here
I'm a travellin' kind of man just need a change of atmosphere
If there's any place I haven't been at all that's where I'll go
So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico

The Sidewalks Of New York

The Sidewalks Of New York
Performer(s): J.W. Myers
and multiple other artists

Down in front of Casey's
Old brown wooden stoop
On a summer's evening
We formed a merry group
Boys and girls together
We would sing and waltz
While the "Ginnie" played the organ
On the sidewalks of New York

East side, West side
All around the town
The tots sang 'Ring-a-Rosie'
'London Bridge is falling down!
Boys and girls together
Me and Mamie O'Rorke
Tripped the light fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York

That's where Johnny Casey
And little Jimmy Crowe
With Jakey Krause the baker
Who always had the dough
Pretty Nellie Shannon
With a dude as light as cork
First picked up the waltz step
On the sidewalks of New York

East side, West side
All around the town
The tots sang 'Ring-a-Rosie'
'London Bridge is falling down!
Boys and girls together
Me and Mamie O'Rorke
Tripped the light fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York

Things have changed since those times
And some are up in "G"
Others are wand'rers
But all feel just like me
They would part with all they've got
Could they but once more walk
With their best girl and have a twirl
On the Sidewalks of New York

East side, West side
All around the town
The tots sang 'Ring-a-Rosie'
'London Bridge is falling down!
Boys and girls together
Me and Mamie O'Rorke
Tripped the light fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York

Cold Day In Hell

Cold Day In Hell
Composer(s): Gary Moore
Performer(s): Gary Moore

So many times you tried to take the best of me
So many times, now you're gonna take the rest of me
Better look at what you're doing before it's too late
It's a fine line you're treadin' between love and hate
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you

So many times you tried to play a dead end game
Yes, you did
I tried to tell you, but you'd never wanna take the blame
Now you've pushed me to the limit, and I can't take no more
You'd better take one last look before I'm out the door
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you

You never listened when I told you
that you were way out of line
Too busy talkin' to listen
accusing me of telling lies

So many times you tried to get the best of me
Yes, you did
So many times, but now you're gonna take the rest of me
Well, it's too late for sorry and it's too late for tears
Better take one last look before I disappear
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you

There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you
Yeah!

Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Do-Re-Mi (Mary Martin)

Do-Re-Mi
((Dutch Version: Do-Re-Mi (Paul de Leeuw met De Kinderen von Trapp)) - 1993))
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
First performance/First release by: Mary Martin - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

Maria:
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
spoken Let's see if I can make it easy

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

Maria and Children:
(Repeat above verse twice)

Maria:
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!

Maria:
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on are only the tools we use to build a song
Once you have these notes in your heads, you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up
Like this

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
spoken Can you do that?

Children:
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re

Maria:
So Do La Ti Do Re Do

Children:
So Do La Ti Do Re Do

Maria:
Now, put it all together

Maria and Children:
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do

Maria:
Good!

Brigitta:
But it doesn't mean anything

Maria:
So we put in words
One word for every note
Like this

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Together!

Maria and Children:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re

Children:
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti
(Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings)

Maria:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Maria and Children:
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to

The Sidestep

The Sidestep
Composer(s): Carol Hall
Performer(s): Charles Durning

Fellow Texans, I am proudly standing here to humbly see
I assure you, and I mean it
Now, who says I don't speak out as plain as day?
And, fellow Texans, I'm for progress and the flag - long may it fly
I'm a poor boy, come to greatness
So, it follows that I cannot tell a lie

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
cut a little swathe and lead the people on

Now my good friends, it behooves me to be solemn and declare
I'm for goodness and for profit and for living clean and saying daily prayer
And now, my good friends, you can sleep nights, I'll continue to stand tall
You can trust me, for I promise, I shall keep a watchful eye upon ya'll...

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
cut a little swathe and lead the people on

Now, Miss Mona, I don't know her, though I've heard the name, oh yes
But, of course I've no close contact, so what she is doing I can only guess
And now, Miss Mona, she's a blemish on the face of that good town
I am taking certain steps here, someone somewhere's gonna have to close her down

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
cut a little swathe and lead the people on

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep...

And, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step...

Cut a little swathe and lead the people on

Composer(s): Jeremy Spencer
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac

It was a cold black night and the rain was falling down
Cold black night and the rain was fallin' down
I went out lookin' for my girl
I knew she wasn't nowhere around

She left me early that morning, with a suitcase in her hand
She left me early that morning, yes, with a suitcase in her
hand
And she took off on a train this mornin'
and she was meetin' some other man, yes

She used to treat me real good and I wonder why I
didn't treat her right
Yes, ah, you know I wonder why I didn't treat her right
And now all I can do, is walk those streets both day and night

Ride, tenderfoot, ride tonight
See the old rangers there at your side, tonight

In Oklahoma when the moon is pale
And get to Texas with the mornin' mail
'Fore you can be a cowboy
You gotta rope and throw
You gotta get your share of buffalo
And win the money at the Rodeo
'Fore you can be a cowboy (whistle)
You gotta tend your cattle the best you can
Hold your "likker" like a man
And ride, tenderfoot, ride tonight!
See the old range riders there at your side tonight
They're fast company
So if you wanna be a cowboy
Then you gotta ride, tenderfoot, ride!
Ride, ride, ride!

Cold As Ice
Composer(s): Mick Jones; Lou Gramm

You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You never take advice
Someday you'll pay the price, I know

I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind

You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay

You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You want paradise
But someday you'll pay the price, I know

I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind

You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay

Now you can jump rope all in stride
Or R-i-d-e
Till you're by my side

Well get it

I Have Confidence

I Have Confidence
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers
First release by: Julie Andrews - 1965

What will this day be like? I wonder
What will my future be? I wonder
It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing
Oh, what's the matter with me?

I've always longed for adventure
To do the things I've never dared
And here I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared

A captain with seven children
What's so fearsome about that?

Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't I just know I'll turn back
I must dream of the things I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack

The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me

So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see I have confidence in me

Somehow I will impress them
I will be firm but kind
And all those children (Heaven bless them!)
They will look up to me

And mind me with each step I am more certain
Everything will turn out fine
I have confidence the world can all be mine
They'll have to agree I have confidence in me

I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides which you see I have confidence in me

Strength doesn't lie in numbers
Strength doesn't lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up -- Wake Up!

It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to
All I trust becomes my own
I have confidence in confidence alone
(Oh help!)

I have confidence in confidence alone
Besides which you see I have confidence in me!

The Shut-In's Prayer

The Shut-In's Prayer
Composer(s): Jimmy Martin - Paul Williams
Performer(s): Jimmy Martin & The Sunny Mountain Boys

Last night as the moon pulled anchor
And sailed down the milky way
It peeked through an old front window
Where a lonely shut-in lay

The moon seemed to shine much brighter
Each star seemed to nod it's head
The night seemed so strangely peaceful
When they heard what the shut-in said

Dear God way up in heaven
I earnestly pray to thee
And my prayer, oh Lord, was thou answered
And lay a healing hand on me

This vain world seems to forget me, Lord
And I've been a shut-in so long
I'm needing thy love, dear Jesus
And still in my heart a song

Lord, I ask not for gold or silver
And no diamonds to call my own
Just give me that touch of healing
I'm so weak and all alone

I trust that I'm not asking too much
Of thy heavenly wealth
When humbly, dear Lord, I pray thee
Just give me back my health

Then off to dreamland the shut-in drifted
Yes, God heard what the shut-in said
The night seemed so strangely peaceful
When they heard what the shut-in said

Cold

Cold
Composer(s): Robert Smith; Lol Tolhurst; Simon Johnathon Gallup
Originally performed by: The Cure

Scarred
Your back was turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
I was cold as I mouthed the words
And crawled across the mirror
I wait
Await the next breath
Your name
Like ice into my heart
A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice don't move
Screaming at the moon
Another past time
Your name
Like ice into my heart

Everything as cold as life
Can no one save you?
Everything
As cold as silence
And you never say a word
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Your name
Like ice into my heart
