Tom Cat
Composer(s): Erik Darling - Lynne Taylor - Willard Hooker Svanoe
Performer(s): Rooftop Singers; Billy Strange



I've got an old Tom Cat
And when he steps out
All the other cats in the neighborhood
They begin to shout

There goes a ring tail Tom
Struttin' round the town
And if you got your heat turned up
You better turn your damper down

Ringtail Tom is a star
He's a boss around this town
He don't allow no other Tom Cats
Come pussy footin' around

Ringtail Tom on the fence
Little pussy cat on the ground
Ringtail Tom com-a-off-a that fence
They start rousin around

Ringtail Tom is a star
He's a natural born crack shot
He finds a new target every night
And he sure does practice alot

And if you got your heat turned up
You better turn your damper down

Tom Bombadil
Composer(s): Giuseppe Festa
Performer(s): Giuseppe Festa



Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow
Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow
None has ever caught him yet, 'cause he's the Master
His songs are stronger songs and his feet are faster

Down along under the hill, shining in the bright sunshine
Swiftly my steps are taking me home, waiting for the cold starlight
There my pretty lady is, river-woman's daughtar
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water

Hop along up the Withywindle!
Tom's going on ahead candles for to kindle
Down West sinks the Sun, soon you will be groping
When the night-shadows fall, then the door will open
Out of the window-panes light will twinkle yellow
Fear no alder black! Heed no hoary willow!
Fear neither root nor bough! Tom goes on before you
Hey now! Hurry up! We'll be waiting for you

Tokyo
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn



They're getting prepared to haul a car out of the river
Noise and smoke and concrete seem to be going on forever
Grinding gears and drivers getting high on exhaust
I'm thinking about the water down below and what got lost

Pachinko jingle and space torpedo beams
Comic book violence and escaping steam
Grey suited business men pissing against the wall
Cut to crumbling guardrail, slow motions car fall

Oh Tokyo -- I never can sleep in your arms
Mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm
Me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup
Did you have to show me that accident scene
Didn't I get enough shaking up?
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Dragon of good fortune struggles with trickster fox
Energy and patience and the power of the buck
Tonight I'm flying headlong
To meet the dark red edge of dawn
I know somebody will be crying
And somebody will be gone

Oh Tokyo -- I never can sleep in your arms
Mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm
Me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup
Did you have to show me that accident scene
Didn't I get enough shaking up?
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Tokeymor Field
Composer(s): John Woloschuk
Performer(s): Klaatu



See the rainbow by that grove of trees
Has it not appeared quite suddenly
Look there, up in the sky
Can you still pretend to deny
It's a little bit strange
How the stars rearrange
Every time we wander here
It's always the same
Now isn't it strange?

A lilting song floats upon the air
Whenever the wind whispers through your hair
And with one great big beautiful smile
You bring out the sun for awhile
Wouldn't you consider it odd
When the whole world starts to throb
Every time I hold you here
Near to my heart
Now isn't that odd?

Around and around and around ring-a-rose
Let's make believe it's a merry-go-round
We go like so
I'm as dizzy as a top, I'm a-tumbling down
And what's more fun than a fumbling clown
Dancing through the green grass
With your hands in the air
Touching the sky up there

Ooh why does
Everything you touch feel so fresh and new
How is it spring seems to follow you?
'Cause where your feet have touched the ground
The meadows with flowers abound
Nothing could be quite so wild
As skipping through them like a child
Every time I'm here with you
Every time I'm here with you
Every time you bring me to Tokeymor Field
To Tokeymor Field
To to Tokeymor Field
To to Tokeymor Field

Tell Me To My Face
((French Version: Toi, Le Refrain De Ma Vie (Joe Dassin) - 1979))
Composer(s): Graham Nash - Allan Clarke - Tony Hicks
First release by: The Hollies - 1966



Will you try to justify the meaning
Of the note you sent this evening
To my door, you're not deceiving me
I'd have thought that you'd have known much better
Sending round an unsigned letter
Facing me would be much better now

Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place

If at last I think I'm glad to rid myself of you I'm sad
To think about the time I'll have to go
Then I'll turn and walk away so please don't beg for me to stay
'Cause I know just what I will say to you

Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place

Tell me to my face you're leaving now
Tell me to my face you're leaving now

Though you try to justify the meaning
Of the note you sent this evening
To my door, you're not deceiving me
I'd have thought that you'd have known much better
Sending round an unsigned letter
Facing me would be much better now

Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place

Thinking Of My Woman
Composer(s): John Mayall
Performer(s): John Mayall



Thinking of my woman
I'm sitting in my hotel room
Hoping that she loves me
Wishing I could see her soon

When I left my woman
Was it only yesterday?
Seems like so much longer
Since I had to go away

Parting at all airports
Make me feel I want to cry
When I left my woman
It hurt to have to say goodbye

Somewhere across the country
I wonder what she's doing now
I'm lonely for my woman
I must get her back somehow

Thinkin' of a Rendezvous
Composer(s): Bobby Braddock - Sonny Throckmorton
Performer(s): Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke



I said, "Hello, my it's been such a long time"
You said, "Yes, it has, it's been a year or more"
Then you smiled and asked about my wife and family
I said, "Johnny's six and Judy's almost four"

But I was thinking how I'd love to get you alone for one hour
Down at the Family Inn like we used to do
We kept talking like nothing ever happened
But I was making small talk, thinking of a rendezvous

You said, "Are you still working down at the factory"
I said, "Yes I am, guess I'll be there 'til I die"
You asked me if I still went down to Joe's Place
I said, "Yeah, I do, but it's been a long, long time"

But I was thinking how I'd love to get you alone for one hour
Down at the Family Inn like we used to do
We kept talking like nothing ever happened
But I was making small talk, thinking of a rendezvous

And you said, "Gotta go, sure been nice to see you
But I told Jack that I'd be home by nine"
I said, "By the way, tell him I said hello
And we'll all have to get together sometime"

But I was thinking how I'd love to get you alone for one hour
Down at the Family Inn like we used to do
We kept talking like nothing ever happened
But I was making small talk, thinking of a rendezvous

Think Twice Before You Go
Composer(s): John Lee Hooker - Al Smith
First recording/First release by: John Lee Hooker - 1967/1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Think twice before you go, baby, this will be the end
Think twice before you go, baby, this will be the end
You done leave me one time, baby you'll leave again

Dig in and suffer with me, an' I know you paid your dues
Dig in and suffer with me baby, an' I know you paid your dues
You done leave me when I need you, then I know you stand accused

Doing the man who loves you wrong
Breaking the heart you should be ruling
Doing the man who loves you wrong
I go for a lot of things, but you're a little too strong

Think twice before you go, baby this will be the end
Think twice before you go, baby this will be the end
You done leave me one time, baby, you'll leave again
Ha

Think Twice
Composer(s): Joe Shapiro - Jimmy Williams - Clyde Otis
Performer(s): Brook Benton



Think twice before you answer
Think twice before you say 'Yes'
I'm asking you if you love me true
'Cause you're my happiness

Take your time, think it over
Think twice, then let me know
If you don't feel that your love is real
Tell me, although you'll hurt me so

Funny how a word can mean everything
That's why I want you to talk to me
To hear you say my name I'd give anything
Only you can decide what my future will be

Think twice before you answer
Think twice, whatever you do
A love as strong as mine can stand the test of time
Think twice of the one who loves you

Think Too Much
Performer(s): Paul Simon



They say that the left side of the brain
Controls the right
They say that the right side
Has to work hard all night
Maybe I think too much for my own good
Some people say so
Other people say no no
The fact is
You don't think as much as you could
hmmm
I had a childhood that was mercifully brief
I grew up in a state of disbelief
I started to think too much
When I was twelve going on thirteen
Me and the girls from St. Augustine
Up in the mezzanine
Thinking about God
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Have you ever experienced a period of grace
When your brain just takes a seat behind your face
And the world begins The Elephant Dance
Everything's funny
Everyone's sunny
You take out your money
And walk down the road
That leads me to the girl I love
The girl I'm always thinking of
But maybe I think too much
And I ought to just hold her
Stop trying to mold her
Maybe blindfold her
And take her away
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
