Composer(s): Big Bill Broonzy
Performer(s): Big Bill Broonzy
Oh blues, I wanna have a little talk with you

Ah you done cause me to lose my woman, ah blues I guess you're through
Oh blues, Big Bill wants to talk to you
Oh blues, Big Bill wants to talk to you
Now I believe you've been drinkin' moonshine, blues 'cause you don't care what you do

Now you got me to the place, I don't care what I do
Yeah now blues, I wanna have a little talk with you
Now I believe you've been drinkin' moonshine, blues cause you don't care what you do
Yeah now blues, why don't you give poor Bill a break?
Yeah now blues, why don't you give poor Bill a break?
Now why don't try to help me to live, instead of tryin' to break my neck?

Reuben James (Kenny Rogers)
Reuben James
Composer(s): Barry Etris; Alex Harvey
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
Reuben James, in my song you live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you Reuben James
Reuben James all the folks around Madison County
Cussed your name just a no
Count share croppin colored man
Who would steal anything he can
And they always laid the blame on Reuben James
Reuben James, you still walk furrowed fields on my mind
The faded skirt the weathered brow
The calloused hand up on the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
Flora James, Reuben James
Gray, a gossip of Madison County died with child
And although your skin was black
It was you that would not turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James
Reuben James, with your mind on my soul
And the bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
A better world is a waiting for the meek
In my head those words remain from Reuben James
Reuben James one dark cloudy day
That brought you from the fields
And to your lonely pine box came
Just a preacher, me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for Reuben James

There She Is, Miss America
There She Is, Miss America
Composer(s): Bernie Wayne
There she is, Miss America
There she is, your ideal
The dream of a million girls who are more than pretty can come true
in Atlantic City
For she may turn out to be the Queen of femininity
There she is, Miss America
There she is, your ideal
With so many beauties she took the town by storm
With her all-American face and form
And there she is
Walking on air, she is
Fairest of the fair, she is
There she is - Miss America

Ruben And Cherise
Ruben And Cherise
Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Jerry Garcia
Performer(s): Jerry Garcia
Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down
It was the afternoon of carnival as she brushes it gently down
Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin
It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade played in the carnival parade
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white
When a fatal vision gripped her tight Cherise beware tonight
Rubin, Rubin tell me truly true
I feel afraid and I don't know why I do, Is there another girl for you?
If you could see my heart you would know it's true
There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you
I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, say I fall down cold
When Rubin played on his painted mandolin
The breeze would pause to listen in before going on its way again
Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke
Like waves against the bandstand, dancers broke to the painted mandolin
Looking out to the crowd who is standing there
Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared
She was dressed as Pirouette in red
And her hair hung gently down
The crowd pressed round, Ruby stood as though alone
Rubin's song took on a different tone and he played it just for her
The song he played was the carnival parade
Each note cut a thread of Cherise's fate it cut through like a blade
Rubin was playing his painted mandolin
When Ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings played all alone
The voice of Cherise from the face of the mandolin
Singing Rubin, Rubin tell me true for I have no one but you
If you could see my heart you would know it true
There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you
I'd swear to it on my very soul
If I lie, say I fall down cold
The truth of love an unsung song must tell
The course of love must follow blind without a look behind
Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn
Cherise so lightly in his arms and her hair hung gently down

There She Goes Again
There She Goes Again
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
There she goes again
She’s out on the streets again
She’s down on her knees, my friend
But you know she’ll never ask you please again
Now take a look, there’s no tears in her eyes
She won’t take it from just any guy, what can you do
You see her walkin’ on down the street
Look at all your friends she’s gonna meet
You better hit her
There she goes again
She’s knocked out on her feet again
She’s down on her knees, my friend
But you know she’ll never ask you please again
Now take a look, there’s no tears in her eyes
Like a bird, you know she would fly, what can you do
You see her walkin’ on down the street
Look at all your friends that she’s gonna meet
You better hit her
Now take a look, there’s no tears in her eyes
Like a bird, you know she will fly, fly, fly away
See her walking on down the street
Look at all your friends that she’s gonna meet
She’s gonna bawl and shout
She’s gonna work it
She’s gonna work it out, bye bye
Bye bye baby
All right

Conversation Peace
Conversation Peace
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder
Staring right at 2000 AD
As if mankind's atrocities to man has no history
But just a glance at life in 2000 BC
We find traces of man's inhumanity to man
There's no mystery
All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace
We can't pause, watch and say "no" this can't be
When there's a plan by any means to have
Cleansing of one's ethnicity
And we shouldn't act as if we don't hear nor see
Like the holocaust of six million Jews and
A hundred and fifty million blacks during slavery
All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace
When publicly or privately convened
May love, positivity and life's preservation
be the basic theme
And should you put your trust in some
prophet in life
Give him trust but your faith must stay
with the one
Who gave the ultimate sacrifice for...
All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace
Less the conversation's peace

There She Goes
Composer(s): Durwood Haddock - Eddie Miller - W.S. Stevenson
Performer(s): Carl Smith
and multiple other artists
There she goes, she's walkin' away
Each step she takes brings heartaches my way
He's won her heart, I lost her some way
There she goes, she's walkin' away
If I hadn't cheated, if I hadn't lied
I'd be the one who's walkin' by her side
I love her still and I guess that it shows
She's walkin' away, there she goes
There she goes! She's walkin' away
Each step she takes brings heartaches my way
If I hadn't cheated, if I hadn't lied
I'd be the one who's walkin' by her side (by her side)
I love her still and I guess that it shows
She's walkin' away, there she goes
There she goes
There she goes
There she goes

Contre Vents Et Marées
Contre Vents Et Marées
((Adapted from: Theme From A Movie That Never Happened (Eric Clapton) - 1998))
Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Francoise Hardy
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy - 2000
Contre vents et marées
Oublie les apparances
Le silence
N'est jamais immobile
Toute attente a un sens
Aie confiance
Imagine
Les forces en présence
Continue ton effort
Pense au but, cherche encore
Le monde et toi
Êtes sommis à des Lois
Songes-y quelquefois...
Avant que tu t'élances
Que tu danses
Que tu coures sur ton fil
Que tes belles évidences
Ta violence
Tombent en ruines
Bien des deuils t'attendent...
Tu dois juste avancer
Regarder sans tricher
La vérité
Suivre ta route
Coûte que coûte
Contre vents et marees
Si nul n'echappe à ces orages
Qui balayent au passage
Les repères
Qui éteignent la lumière..
Dans la nuit noire
Tôt ou tard
Va briller un espoir
Et germer ta victoire...
Arme-toi de patience
La souffrance
N'est jamais inutile
Elle élève en silence
Tisse les fils
Invisible
D'une autre naissance
Vois la mer qui se calme
Le soleil dans les arbres
Sèche tes larmes
Sois vivant, reste vrai
Contre vents et marées

Rubber Duckie
Rubber Duckie
Composer(s): Joe Raposo
Performer(s): Bob McGrath
Well here I am in my tubby again
And my tubby's all filled with water and nice fluffy suds
And I've got my soap and washcloth to wash myself
And I've got my nifty scrub brush to help me scrub my back
And I've got a big fluffy towel to dry myself when I'm done
But there's one other thing that makes tubby time
The very best time of the whole day
And you know what that is?
It's a very special friend of mine
My very favorite little pal
Oh, rubber ducky, you're the one
You make bath time lots of fun
Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you
Vo-vo vo-deo
Rubber ducky, joy of joy
When I squeeze you, you make noise
Rubber ducky you're my very best friend it's true
Oh, everyday when I, make my way to the tubby
I find a, little fella who's cute and yella and chubby
Rub-a-dub dubby
Rubber ducky you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you
Hey rubber ducky
Would you like me to scrub your back with my nifty little scrub brush
You would!?!
Ok, how's this
Hey, you want me to scrub behind your ears
Ooohh, I see, you don't have any ears, do you
Well how bout your tummy
Scrub his little ducky tummy
Ooh, he's ticklish
Oh, everyday when I, make my way to the tubby
I find a, little fella who's cute and yella and chubby
Rub-a-dub-dubby
Rubber ducky you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky I'd like a whole pond of
Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you

There Never Was A Night So Beautiful
There Never Was A Night So Beautiful
Performer(s): Perry Como
There never was a night so beautiful
As this night here with you under the stars
No music ever was so danceable
No one as romance-able
As you are...
There never was a night so beautiful
It seems I'm on the planet Mars
And yet they say it's not unusual
For people to feel this way
The way I do...
They say it happens when the one you love
Loves you!
And yet they say it's not unusual
For people to feel this way
The way I do...
They say it happens when the one you love
Loves you!

Rubber Bullets
Rubber Bullets
Composer(s): Lol Creme;
Kevin Godley; Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): 10cc
I went to a party at the local county jail
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
But the guys were indiscreet
They were brawling in the street
At the local dance at the local county jail
Well the band were playing
and the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Down at precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail
Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets
Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets
I love to hear those convicts squeal
It's a shame these slugs ain't real
But we can't have dancing at the local county pen
Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the jail
And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail
There's a rumour going round death row
That a fuse is gonna blow
At the local hop at the local county jail
Sergeant Baker started talking with a bullhorn in his hand
He was cool, he was clear, he was always in command
He said "blood will flow here, Padre
Padre you talk to your boys..."
"Trust in me - God will come to set you free..."
Well we don't understand why you called in the National Guard
When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard
We all got balls and brains - but some's got balls and chains
At the local dance at the local county jail
Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets
Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets
Is it really such a crime for a guy to spend his time
At the local dance at the local county jail
At the local dance at the local county jail
What you gonna do about it what you gonna do?
What you gonna do about it what you gonna do?

There Must Be A Way
There Must Be A Way
Composer(s): David Saxon - Sammy Gallop
Performer(s): Joni James
and multiple other artists
There isn't a place I can go
a place where you won't be missed
for there's not a place that I know
where mem ries of you don't exist
But there must be a way to help me forget that we're through
there must be a way to stop me from dreaming of you
There must be a star in the skies
that isn't reflecting your eyes
I just don't know how to disguise how much I miss you
There must be a song that doesn't remind me of you
there must be a kiss to thrill me like yours used to do
I looked for a way to be happy, happy with somebody new
Oh, there must be a way but I can't find the way without you

Contra El Tiempo
Contra El Tiempo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Afuera hace frío
adentro, recuerdos
Mi viejo y su casa
en un cerro del puerto
Y allá en Santiago
mi madre en silencio
contando las horas
por si un día yo vuelvo
¿Y qué puedo hacer ahora?
si tan sólo quedan horas
y ya mañana
hay que partir?
Llorando en solitario
porque se queda en Santiago
lo que me da fuerzas
para vivir
¿Quién me presta maquillaje
para continuar mi viaje?
Hay otros amigos...
por ahí...
Ahora me siento
un poco el hermano
de mi pasado
y de un futuro
un tanto incierto
Con cuatro maletas
en cien aeropuertos
Y esta guitarra
para empezar de nuevo...

Rubber ball, I'll come bouncing back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncing back to you

There Must Be A Reason
Composer(s): Benny Davis - Ted Murray
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
and multiple other artists
There must be a reason for rain drops to fall
There must be a reason why mountains are tall
And why are the stars in the sky
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason for rivers to flow
For beautiful trees and for flowers that grow
And why have the birds' wings to fly
There must be a reason why
The changes from season to season
The dawning that brings a new day
These wonders must all have a reason
It was intended that way
There must be a reason for falling in love
It must have been planned up in heaven above
And why are we so much in love, you and I
There must be a reason why
The changes from season to season
The dawning that brings a new day
These wonders must all have a reason
It was intended that way
There must be a reason for falling in love
It must have been planned up in heaven above
And why are we so much in love, you and I
There must be a reason why
