Cowboy Song
Cowboy Song
Composer(s): Brian Downey; Phil Lynott
First release by: Thin Lizzy - 1976
and multiple other artists
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
A starry night, a campfire light
The coyote call, the howling winds wail
So I ride out to the old sundown
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
Lord, I’m just thinking about a certain female
The nights we spent together riding on the range
Looking back it seems so strange
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Running free with the buffalo
I was took in Texas I did not know her name
Lord, all these southern girls seem the same
Down below the border in a town in Mexico
I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy’s life is the life for me

J'Ai Rencontré L'Homme De Ma Vie
J'Ai Rencontré L'Homme De Ma Vie
Composer(s): Luc Plamondon; François Cousineau
Performer(s): Diane Dufresne; Paul Mauriat
Aujourd'hui j'ai rencontré l'homme de ma vie
Oh-oh-oh-oh aujourd'hui, au grand soleil, en plein midi
On attendait le même feu vert
Lui à pied et moi dans ma Corvair
J'ai dit: "Veux-tu un lift?"
Aujourd'hui j'ai rencontré l'homme de ma vie
Oh-oh-oh-oh aujourd'hui je l'ai conduit jusqu'à chez lui
Je suis montée à son appartement
Entre la terre et le firmament
Il m'a offert un drink
. Qu'est-ce que tu fais dans la vie?
. Je fais mon possible
. Prends-tu d' l'eau dans ton whisky?
. Non, je le prends straight
Aujourd'hui j'ai rencontré l'homme de ma vie
Oh-oh-oh-oh aujourd'hui un seul regard nous a suffi
Mon horoscope me l'avait prédit
Quand je l'ai vu j'ai su qu'c'était lui
J'ai deviné son signe.....
Aujourd'hui j'ai rencontré l'homme de ma vie
Oh-oh-oh-oh aujourd'hui, au grand soleil, en plein midi

This Heart Of Mine
This Heart Of Mine
Composer(s): Harry Warren - Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists
Maybe it was the music
Or the glamorous sky of blue
Maybe it was the mood I was in
Or maybe it was really you... really you
This heart of mine was doing very well
The world was fine as far as I could tell
And then quite suddenly I saw you, and I dreamed of gay amours
At dawn i wake up singing sentimental overtures
This heart of mine is gaily dancing now
I taste the wine of real romancing now
Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design
As long as life endures, it's yours, this heart of mine

Cowboy From Brooklyn
Cowboy From Brooklyn
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Jimmy Dorsey
and multiple other artists
When I was just a little shaver back in Brooklyn
I always thought that I would like to be a cowboy
Because I loved to see 'em in the movin' pictures
A-ridin' and a-shootin' away
And so as I grew up I saved a lotta money
I bought a saddle and I bought a buckin' bronco
I said goodbye to all the fellas back in Brooklyn
And I went to Arizona one day
But I'll tell you, Pard, I worked so hard
And ev'rybody played so rough
That they always had me waitin' on the table
Sweepin' out the stable and stuff !
And so I sold my saddle and my buckin' bronco
And you won't ever catch me near another cowboy
'Cause I can always see 'em in the movin' pictures
A-ridin' and a-shootin' away
Okay! But I belong in Brooklyn
Hangin' 'round the drugstore
'Roundin' up the sodas all day

J'Ai Raté Le Coche
J'Ai Raté Le Coche
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Quand est mort mon oncle Léon
J'héritais d'son accordéon
J'y ai mis toute mon ardeur
Là j'étais plus au goût de l'heure
J'ai raté le coche
C'est ça qui est moche
Ma fiancée était jolie
Elle me dit 11 heures à la mairie
Quand j'arrivai au train de midi
Elle me présenta son mari
J'ai raté le coche encore une fois
J'ai raté le coche touchons du bois
J'ai trouvé un gros portefeuille
Au Grand Hôtel, Dieu quel accueil!
Quand je me présentai pour payer
Les billets étaient périmés
J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche
J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche
Comme un voleur je fus jugé
Au fond je ne plaignais de rien
Un prisonnier ça mange bien
C'était complet j'suis acquitté
On m'attribue quelques talents
Je suis allé trouver Paris
Pour lui communiquer mes prix
Hélas Paris était absent
J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche
J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche
J'avais les poches pleines d'espoir
Maintenant c'est moche je vois tout noir
Laisse à Gavroche toute sa gloire
T'es qu'un fantoche, t'es qu'une bonne poire
Comme je me connais je pense bien
Que ça va durer toute ma vie
C'est ma nature, j'y suis pour rien
Je rate le coche, ça vient de Fam
Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche
Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche
Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche
Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche
Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche

Cowboy Convention
Cowboy Convention
Composer(s): Peter Barnfather - John Carter
Performer(s): Ohio Express; Buddy Alan; Don Rich
I was riding the prairie, when out of the blue I could see
There were two dozen indians starting to close up on me
There was no place I could run, and I never carry a gun
So I cried for help
And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid
I'd have been lost if they hadn't shown up as they did
And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James
And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names
I was safe in my cabin and thinking of going to bed
When an Indian tomahawk stuck in the wall by my head
I looked through the window and saw there were three thousand Indians or more
So I cried for help
And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid
I'd have been lost if they hadn't shown up as they did
And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James
And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names
One day I was caught and was taken to see Running Bear
But we got on so well that he told me that I could stay there
And according to Indian law, I could have me a choice of a squaw
I needed no help!
And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid
I'd have been fine if they hadn't shown up as they did
And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James
And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names

J'Ai Qu'à L'Regarder
J'Ai Qu'à L'Regarder
Composer(s): Edith Piaf; Alec Siniavine
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Il a plutôt la gueule gentille
Y s'laisse aimer tout comm' les filles
Puis y vous r'garde en rigolant
Alors, bien sûr, c'est désarmant
Y vous donne rendez-vous un jour
S'il y v'nait, ça s'rait trop facile
On attend comme un imbécile
Il est vraiment fait pour l'amour
{Refrain:}
J'ai qu'à l'regarder
J'ai envie d'chanter
D'courir dans les champs
Avec le printemps
De chanter pour moi
De crier ma joie
Dès que j'l'aperçois
Y m'regard' comm' ça
Puis y m'dit tout bas
"Viens, on va s'aimer"
J'ose plus respirer
C'que c'est bon d'l'aimer
Tra la la la ...
Ça s'ra ma dernière aventure
Oh! mon Dieu, pourvu qu'elle dure
Si j'devais plus l'revoir un jour
Je serais dégoûtée d'l'amour
Il a tant d'femm's autour de lui
Qui rôd'nt autour des ses épaules...
Alors j'suis là, j'm'accroche à lui
Y a vraiment qu'lui qui trouv' ça drôle
{Refrain}

L'averti o no
Ci pensa dietro a te
Non mangia piú
E beve quel che dici tu
Tutta piú
Fa un sospiro
Sbatte gli occhi
Tira il petto in sú
Ma non to ammetterá
Che é innamorata di...
Di te che sei
Piú timido di lei
L'averti o no
C'é poco da nascondere
Molto da accarezzare
Lei é rossa
Rossa come te
Ma chi sei perché
Ha in corpo un diavolo
E cerca te
E vuole te
Lei é innamorata
É un fiore che fai
Sbocciare se vuoi
L'averti o no
Che cerca te
E vuole te

Composer(s): Tom Jans
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday (France) - 1974
Si tu reviens un jour
Marcher sur les traces de notre amour
Tu ne trouveras plus ton chemin
Si un jour ici tu reviens
Tu verras la maison Comme moi
Elle a son cœur l'abandon
Et ses portes ouvertes à tous les vents
Ne me cherche pas plus longtemps
J'ai pleuré sur ma guitare
En chantant notre histoire
Il pleut toujours un peu
Sur les chagrins
Tu es partie trop tôt
Tu es venue si tard
Et je ne sais même pas où va ce train
J'ai attendu longtemps
Guettant ta voix
Dans la voix du vent
Ton image dans l'eau des torrents
Et ton parfum dans les champs
Il pleut toujours un peu
Sur les chagrins
Tu es partie trop tôt
Tu es venue si tard
Et je ne sais même pas où va ce train

This Golden Ring
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): Johnny Kidd & The Pirates; The Fortunes; David & Jonathan
This golden ring's gonna make quite sure of my baby's heart
This golden ring's gonna make quite sure that we never part
It's so funny what a ring can do, make a girl just like you
Take a ride round town, looking for a wedding gown
This golden ring's gonna bring a little tear to my baby's eye
She's gonna be so happy and just like a woman she'll cry-iy-iy-iy
She will cry and I know, that no mater what the future will hold
It's gonna be, the two of us eternally
So I've got a ring for my baby
And I'm thinkin' pretty soon that maybe
That girl will be mine
I'm gonna have an angel divine
And everything is workin' out fine, so fine
Yeah fine, so fine
This golden ring's gonna make quite sure of my baby's heart
This golden ring's gonna make quite sure that we never part
It's so funny what a ring can do, make a girl just like you
Take a ride round town, looking for a wedding gown
This golden ring is all I have to give to you
But give me time my love to make your dreams come true
I’ve been a-savin' all my money
I’ve been working hard girl, only with you in mind
We got somehing more than money
We gotta a love that’s gonna last
It’s so funny what a ring can do, make a girl just like you
Take a ride downtown, searching for a wedding gown
So I've got a ring for my baby
And I'm thinkin' pretty soon that maybe
That girl will be mine
I'm gonna have an angel divine
And everything is workin' out fine, so fine
Yeah fine, so fine

Coward Of The County
Coward Of The County
Composer(s): Roger Bowling; Billy Edd Wheeler
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
and multiple other artists
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
His mama named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow
But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
"Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun
Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"
There's someone for ev'ryone and Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'
They took turns at Becky....
There was three of them!
Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again
"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom
One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor
When Tommy turned around they said
"Hey look! ol' yellow's leavin'"
But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and blocked the door
Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all
When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'
He said, "This one's for Becky," as he watched the last one fall
And I heard him say
"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you done
I walk away from trouble when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek
and Papa, I sure hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county

J'Ai Pleuré De Joie
J'Ai Pleuré De Joie
Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Que de fois j'ai pleuré de joie
Face à mon bonheur qui vit dans ton cœur
Que de fois ta façon d'aimer a ensoleiller mes jours
Et pourtant nous avons tremblé
Chaque fois qu'il y avait un danger
Mais tout ça c'est la peur du feu
D'un amour heureux
Que de fois j'ai pleuré de joie
A te regarder vivre à mes côtés
Que de fois j'ai vu dans tes yeux
L'existence du merveilleux
Trop de gens souffrent encore
D'être seul dans la vie
Et leur cri chaque jour
Est un cri d'amour
Que de fois j'ai pleuré de joie
Depuis cet instant du premier serment
Et depuis mon cœur ne reçoit
Que ce qui me vient de toi
Les enfants que tu m'as donnés
Les élans de ta sincérité
Ton sourire, ta confiance en moi
Je te dois tout ça
Quand je prends ma vie dans tes bras
Je prends chaque fois le monde avec toi
Mais ce soir encore une fois
J'ai envie de pleurer de joie

This Girl Is A Woman Now
This Girl Is A Woman Now
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap
This girl walked in dreams
Playing in a world of her own
This girl was a child
Existing in a playground of stone
Then, one night her world was changed
Her life and dreams were rearranged
She would never be the same again
This Girl is a Woman Now
She's learned how to live
This Girl is a Woman Now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learnin', learnin' to live
This girl tasted love, as tender as the gentle dawn
She cried a single tear
A teardrop that was sweet and warm
Our hearts told us we were right
And on that sweet velvet night
A child had died, a woman had been born
This Girl is a Woman Now
She's learned how to live
This Girl is a Woman Now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learnin', learnin' to live

Cow Patti
Cow Patti
Composer(s): Jim Stafford
Performer(s): Jim Stafford
From the badlands came the killer
He lived by his knife and the gun
He'd cut you just for standing
And shoot you if you tried to run
He was as big as a tree and did what he pleased
And everything he did was bad
They said, if you was to kill him
It'd only make him mad
From the goodlands came the cowgirl
Patti was her name
She was hot on the trail of that killer
On a moped she called Flame
'Cause the killer had killed her daddy
Just for spittin' in the road
And you only had to kill her daddy once
To get that gal p.o.'d.
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
She rode into town
To find the man
That killed her daddy
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
The killer hit town at daybreak
Ate the door off the local saloon
He started to drink
You could tell there'd be a showdown soon
Patti hit town in a cloud of dust
Old Flame was buzzin' like a saw
And the whole town got quiet as a church
When the killer stepped out for the draw
Forty shots rang out, forty people fell
Patti and the killer missed each other
But they shot the town to hell
The killer took a step toward Patti
Said, "It's time I gunned you down"
But he slipped in something
That was laying in the street
And was shot before he hit the ground
Yes, the killer slipped
And it cost him his life
And Patti said, as she raced out of town
"You got to watch your step
When you know the chips are down"
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti
She rode into town
To find the man
That killed her daddy
Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti

J'Ai Pleuré
Performer(s): Claudia Sylva
J'ai pleuré pour la première fois
J'ai pleuré, oui j'ai pleuré pour toi
Si simplement tu comprenais
Que moi je n'aime que toi
Que rien ne peut me séparer
De toi, de toi
J'ai pleuré pour ce que tu m'as fait
J'ai pleuré parce que tu riais
Oui, tu riais de moi
Parcequ'on s'est disputé
Cela peut bien arriver
Tu m'as fait pleurer
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
J'ai pleuré quand je t'ai vu partir
J'ai pleuré, j'ai pensé en mourir
Mais j'ai cru que c'était un jeu
Que tu allais me revenir
Il n'y aurait plus à l'avenir
Que nous deux, nous deux
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Je t'en supplie tu dois me croire
Il n'y a que toi à moi
Écoute parler mon coeur
Mais qui ne bat que pour toi
Laisse pleurer mon coeur
Si tu ne m'aimes pas
Mais n'oublie jamais
Que moi, j'ai pleuré pour toi
Pour toi
Pour toi
Pour toi

This Flight Tonight
This Flight Tonight
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Look out the left the captain said
The lights down there, that's where we'll land
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vegas sands
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one
That you can wish upon
Not the northern one
That guides in the sailors
Oh starbright, starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Now I can't talk to you baby
I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine
Oh starbright, starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't hove got on this flight tonight
I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing "Goodbye baby, Baby Goodbye,
Ooh, ooh, love is blind"
Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again baby
Starbright, starbright
You got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
