Sound Of Music


Sound Of Music
((Dutch Version: De Mooiste Muziek (Ann De Winne) - 1998))
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
First performance/First release by: Mary Martin - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more

The Silky Veils Of Ardor


The Silky Veils Of Ardor
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1977



I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through all these highs and lows
I heard there was no sickness
And no toil or danger
Just mercy and plenty
Where peaceful waters flow
Where peaceful waters flow

Come all you fair and tender school girls
Be careful now--when you court young men
They are like the stars
On a summer morning
They sparkle up the night
And they're gone again
Daybreak--gone again

If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor
What a killing crime this love can be
I would have locked up my heart
In a golden sheath of armor
And kept its crazy beating
Under strictest secrecy
High security

I wish I had the wings
Of Noah's pretty little white dove
So I could fly this raging river
To reach the one I love
But I have no wings
And the water is so wide
We'll have to row a little harder
It's just in dreams we fly
In my dreams we fly!

Cold Hearted


Cold Hearted
Composer(s): Gary Moore
Performer(s): Gary Moore



I'm a man with something to say
I don't need nobody to show me the way
I don't care if it's day or if it's night
Ain't nobody gonna teach me wrong from right

'Cause every hungry woman
Has tried to make a fool out of me
Every hungry woman
Stick around and baby you'll see

I'm cold hearted
I'm so cold hearted

I'm a man with a mind of my own
I don't need nobody, I'm happy all alone
I don't care if it's day or if it's night
Ain't nobody gonna teach me wrong from right

'Cause every hungry woman
Has tried to make a fool out of me
Every hungry woman
Stick around and baby you'll see

I'm cold hearted
So cold hearted
I'm cold hearted
So cold hearted

Let me show you why they call me cold hearted, baby

Every hungry woman
Has tried to make a fool out of me
Every hungry woman
Stick around and baby you'll see

I'm cold hearted
So cold hearted
I'm cold hearted
So cold hearted

Baby, I tell you I've got a heart that's made of stone

So Long, Farewell


So Long, Farewell
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
First performance/First release by: Mary Martin & Theodore Bikel - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



Children:
There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "cuckoo"
Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:
Cuckoo, cuckoo

Children: Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:
Regretfully they tell us
Cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us
Cuckoo, cuckoo
To say goodbye...
Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:
Cuckoo!

Children:
... to you

Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night

Marta:
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu

Friedrich:
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

Children:
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen

Liesl:
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

Kurt:
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!

Brigitta:
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie

Louisa:
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly

Gretl:
The sun has gone to bed and so must I

Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Guests:
Goodbye!

The Silent Sun


The Silent Sun
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel - Tony Banks
Performer(s): Genesis



The silent sun that never shines
She is the warmth of my lonely heart
The motion of a turning wheel
Can't you stop it and look around?

Baby you feel so close
I wish you could see my love
Baby you've changed my life
I'm trying to show you...

A tiny stone that hides from me
Can't you see that I'm just outside?
A mountain stream that chills the sea
Can't you feel in your useless pride?

Baby you feel so close
I wish you could see my love
Baby you've changed my life
I'm trying to show you...

When night reveals a star-filled shy
I want to hold it in my hands
When snowflakes heal the ugly ground
Your beauty hides the joy I've found

Baby you feel so close
I wish you could see my love
Baby you've changed my life
I'm trying to show you...

Cold Grey Light Of Dawn


Cold Grey Light Of Dawn
Composer(s): Ivory Joe Hunter
Performer(s): Nick Lowe;
Ivory Joe Hunter; Charlie Musselwhite



That old alarm clock gives a yell
starting another day in hell
passing a world I can't face with you gone
in the mirror I see
someone to choose to be me
and I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn
The Neon light and the jukebox
help to ease me through the night
I lean hard on the bottle
'til I no longer stand up right
in the morning in my room
I'm like a body in a tomb
Those same three walls keep coming on
kind of strong
Down the freeway when I drive
more dead than alive
and I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn
The Neon light and the jukebox
help to ease me through the night
I lean hard on the bottle
'til I no longer stand up right
in the morning in my room
I feel like a body in a tomb
Those same three walls keep coming on
kind of strong
Down the freeway then I drive
more dead than alive
and I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn
I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn

Riding In The TT Races


Riding In The TT Races
Composer(s): Gifford Cliffe
Performer(s): George Formby



If there’s one thing that I like it's riding around on a motor-bike
I'm a speed king, when I once begin
I once won first prize two and six, I know all the dirt track dirty tricks
I'm a marvel when I'm out to win
In a fifty mile race I am the best, I ride five miles and skid the rest

So come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
I've been riding all my life, I started quite small
I've ridden fairy cycles, aye, and scooters and all
Hear the people cheer me when they see me steering backwards
Down the hill I go at break-neck speed
See me coming down the street with the winning post on the pillion seat
Oh! Come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

Come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
Once my bike was hard to ride, but I didn't mind
Until I found they'd hitched a charabanc on behind
Everybody's scaring, I am such a daring rider
My inside rattles when I go the pace
My ribs begin to shake about, there's all my spare parts sticking out
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

Alternative ending:
With my gears in reverse, the other way round I'll finish first
Oh! Come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

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!

Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

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

Maria & Children:

Do... So Do
Re... La Fa
Mi... Mi Do
Fa... Re
So... So Do
La... La Fa
Ti... La So Fa Mi Re
Ti Do - oh - oh Ti Do -- So Do

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

Cold Black Night


Cold Black Night
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


Ride, Tenderfoot, Ride
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Richard A. Whiting
Performer(s): Dick Powell;
and various other artists



Ride, tenderfoot, ride tonight
See the old rangers there at your side, tonight
They're fast company
So if you wanna be a cowboy
Then you gotta ride, tenderfoot, ride!
You gotta hit the trail
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!
