(montgomery/sinks)

They say we're searching for love we'll never find
They say we're foolish kids we're two of a kind.

We know we've found our love when your lips meet mine
That's when we know they're right we're two of a kind.

No matter what they say when it's all said and done
When we are old enough we two will be one.

And when they pass me by with your hand in mine
Then they'll just smile and say they're two of a kind.

No matter what they say when it's all said and done
When we are old enough we two will be one.

And when they pass me by with your hand in mine
Then they'll just smile and say they're two of a kind.

Hello, may i have this dance with you?

How have you been, girl?
Hold me, and then girl
Just let me look at you.
Tell me, now, is it true?

Oh, did you break up?
No chance to make up.
I hate to take up all your time,
But tell me.

Oh, no it won't be repeated.
You mean to tell me he cheated?
Oh, what a fool he's been
Though he is, my best friend

I hate it this way,
But i've waited for this day.
I've always wanted
You to be my girl.

Be my girl, you're my girl.
I still don't believe it
He played around on you.
When all the time he knew
I loved you too

With your big eyes,full lips,
High cheek bones,
And ev'rything about you, girl.
Personality girl,
Gimme a chance, come on,
Let's dance,some
Dance the night awa--y;

You're my girl.you're my girl, you're my girl.
Baby doll, baby, baby, hold me tight.
Be mine tonight, say it's alright.
And i will never, ever let you go, oh...
Be my girl, be my girl,
You're my girl.you're mine,
You're my girl.

Music & lyrics : d. gibson

Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm a fool for staying home and having none.
I can't get over how she set me free.
Oh, lonesome me.

There must be some way that i can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about my past and find someone new
I've thought of everything from a to z
Oh, lonesome me.

I'll bet she's not like me.
She's out and fancy free,
Flirting with the boys with all her charms
But i still love her so,
And brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

(flood)

Here comes that song again
They're playing that song again
I guess it will never end
They're playing it again

Here comes that song again
Here comes that old ache again
The story of my life begins
They're telling it again

I'll have to leave
I can't bear it anymore
There must be a place where
They'll play a different score

Here comes that song again
The jukebox must have found a friend
My heart will never mend
They're playing it again

Here comes that song again
The jukebox must have found a friend
My heart will never mend
They're playing it again

Coffer cafe's dizzy with city lights, concrete sidewalks busy with friendly fights
But that's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
Loud paper boys yelling yesterday's news, a pedlar man selling what you can't use
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me, you will see city life, city life

I need you when the sun goes down, you pick me up when you're around
Come on, come on now, we can have a good time, this town ain't much unless you're here with me
It's like a woman, crazy just like a puppy, lazy
Just like a pretty jealous wife, i can't get free from city life

Secluded bars humming behind the scenes, hot wild guitars strumming, promising dreams
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
I don't want to be alone, stay with me now, don't go home
It's a date, we'll stay out late and party, city lifes okay when you're with me

It's like a lion sleeping just like a willow weeping,
A melting pot for fun and strife can't get away from city life
City life baby, city life, it's alright baby, it's alright city life, city life....

Hometown sweetheart.hung around in the dark.
Only make a move or two.i was just a young fool.
Never been to night school, didn't know enough to be cool.

So she found another lover, they went undercover.
The way she stole my heart was a crime
In order to keep the peace callin' out the police
Find her'fore i lose my mind.

The woman i love done gone and left me, no.
She's got a bad big record on the heartbreak radio.

A complete investigation, what's her destination.
Did she leave a trace at all?
Book on her suspicion.just look at my condition.
She left me here to take the fall.

That girl she sure can play it rough.she oughta be in handcuffs.
Make her wear a ball'n chain.oh, she's just a heart stealer.
Sweetest kind'a love dealer.she knows how to flix a game.

The woman i love done gone and left me, no.
She got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio.

Lonely hearts in distress. calling out an sos.
All across the u.s of a. come on back and serve your time.
Right here in these arms of mine. gotta have you home today.

Fbi, cid, help me, help me,help me please.

The one i love has gone and left me alone.
She got a bad big record on the heartbreak radio.
The one i love has gone and left me alone.
She got a bad big record on the heartbreak radio.
The one i love has gone and left me alone.
She got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio.
She got a bag bad record on the heartbreak radio.

Borne again.
Because have you at just being borne again.
At last i feel that i'm alive and more.
This is the moment i've waited for.

Born to be loved by you.born to be loved by you.
Born to walk with you.born to talk with you.
I was born for you.
Born to be with you, only you.
Born to be loved by you.
Born for you, born for you baby.
Born for you, born for you baby.
Born for you, born to be loved by you
(you and only you) born to be with only you.

I look at you and all at once i know that dreams come true.
For there you are the other part of me.
I have found my destiny.

Born to be loved by you.born to be loved by you.
Right or wrong for you.weak or strong for you.
Faithful or untrue
Born chained forever and far beyond.
Born to be loved by you and only you
No one else will do.
Heart and soul,born to be loved
Born to be loved.born to be loved by you.
(you and only you,born to be with only you)
Born for you.born for you baby.
Born for you.born for you baby.
Born for you, born for you baby..

My time has come the clouds are calling.
December wind has came my way.
And now i feel the world falling.
All at once, it's too late.
Life fades away.

The night is my day.
All thoughts slip away
And even though, i must leave you.
Remember i love you.
I'll always be in your memories.
I will always be with you when i'm gone.

Hey, life fades away.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah.
Life fades away.

I'm tired on tomorrow.lost for today.
I long to be at peace forever.
My dull peace
And even though, i will miss you.
I must leave you.

Hey, life fades away.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah.
Life fades away.

So please forgive me.and try not to cry.
I long to be at peace forever more.
Forever more.

Oh yeah, yeah , yeah ,yeah ,yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah ,yeah , yeah, yeah.
Life fades away.
Life fades away.
Life fades away.away.

One last thing to say
Life fades away.

Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah
Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love
Come back to me

16 years ago today early one sunday morn
Just before the break of day a cute little girl was born
From that very moment on her life's been gay and free
Laughing eyes and loving ways as sweet as she could be

Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah
Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love
Come back to me

We had a quarrel i can't forget the night i made her cry
Her tender heart just fell apart as she said good-bye
Now today is her birthday my baby's sweet 16
But someone else is in my place to hold my every dream
Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah
Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love
Come back to me

Lots of loves are precious
Lots of loves are true
But they can't make the kind of love
I get from loving you

Sweet and innocent is your love to me
The way you hold me not too tight
The tender way you kiss goodnight
Makes you the one exactly right for me

Young and beautiful
Is the love i get from you
They say that you dont know the score
For this i love you even more
Young and beautiful, sweet and innocent

Sweet and innocent
Like the love i get from you
They say that you don't know the score
For this i love you even more
Young and beautiful, sweet and innocent

Hey boys, gather round boys, the money's right
Go down to low town for me tonight
Walk onto forty four and knockon that big black door
Lay some money on that man
And get the very best table you can

Well,there's a soul band's wailing behind the beat,
And they cook when the blue lights spin.
There's a

Orbison/c & r price
Glittery eyes; witchy smiles
A good time is all you are after
Skin tight thighs; little white lies
Put you in the center of the laughter

But your reign of queen is over
Your fortress has been broken down
You're still the center of the laughter
But your role has changed to the clown

Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Someone broke your heart in two
Ooh poor baby
Who would have thought it could happen to you
Poor baby

A pretty face; sweet talkin' ways
Got you a part of the action
A come-over-touch, glances and such
You always had to be the main attraction

Now you're the one who's crying
You lost at your own lonely game
You're still the center of attraction
But now i'm gone, you've got yourself to blame

Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Do what you said you'd never do
Ooh poor baby
You let someone get much too close to you
Poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby

You are not just another sweet human
You're precious, precious to me
You are not just my love for the moment
You're precious, precious to me

Are you some kind of angel
Who lost your way to a star?
Wonder why, why me?
Don't you even see how wonderful you are?

You are not just someone i can talk with
You're precious, precious to me
You are not just someone i can talk with
You're precious, precious to me

Time and again i've come back to you
Even though i know what you'll do
You'll break my heart right in two
But time and again i've come back to you

Time and again i've been a fool for you
Time and again what else can i do
I'll be right there waiting, yeah, waiting
Though it's all in vain, time and again

Time and again i've come back to you
Even though i know what you'll do
You'll break my heart right in two
But time and again i've come back to you

Stood together in an open field
And shared the secrets that the night revealed
Then we'd chase the light racing through the sky

Can we untangle guilt and innocence?
How hard we torture this ambevolence
Night will bring no dawn where's the power gone?

For i'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping
And sell them for dust and cheap lust
And i'll turn your hope while you are weeping
And cover your eyes with sad lies and dark skies

Come closer to me, on your hands and knees, alone when your will's gone

How much is not enough?, how much is through?
How long will i be getting over you?
How much grief and sin
Till the heart caves in? till the heart caves in?, till the heart caves in?

(orbison/melson)
My life changes all the time.
Things were diff'rent when you were mine.
You loved me yesterday.
Now these changes have come to stay.
There have been changes,
So many changes along the way.
(too many changes,changes in the way).
(so many changes,changes in the how).
(to many changes, changes when you cry).

Time brings changes,right or wrong.
I still love you, but now you're gone.

Maybe someday love will come,
But who can say what kind of changes,
What kind of changes come my way.
(too many changes come along).
(too many changes,leaving me alone).
(so many changes,now that you are gone).

There's a girl in my life
The best little girl that i could ever find
Her lips are warm when the nights are cold
In the summertime she can make it snow
She's alright, she's alright
If you want to get a girl that's really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
She's alright, she's alright.

You take your girl to a show
You got to stand in line but she says no
You finally get your ticket and you walk in
There she's standing with a silly grin
But not mine, she'll stand in line
If you want to get a girl that's truly fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause she's alright, she's alright.

You buy your girl a fancy dress
That's the only way she'll look her best
I give my girl bell-bottom slacks
A big wide belt and she's a gas
She's alright, she's alright
If you want to get a girl that's really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause she's alright, she's alright.

You were there when it started i remember it all so well
The lights for my stage were coming on at last

I waited for so long to have my chance at fortune
I guess i forgot about you

The light from the glitter blinded me, and i went after all who came
There were many ladies there all looking for me

They all seemed to love my singin', their beauty kept my head a-ringin'
I guess i forgot about you

The lights that were so bright started to flicker the ones that said they cared slowly disappeared
But who was there when i needed help? the one i'd forgotten all about, you were there

Yes, you were there through everything you believed me from the start
I don't see how i could have been so blind

It took me all this time to realise my fortune,all along it was you, all along it was you

You lay so easy on my mind yes, so easy on my mind

Each moment brings to light a million dreams
Having something real is something i can feel
When i feel you, angel, touching me

You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind
There's not a part of me your sweet love won't reach to satisfy

Everyday i love you more, you're the one i'm living for
And the best you'll ever give you've given me

I get so ooh sentimental
Darling when it comes to you,
I'm just too ooh sentimental
And its breaking my heart in two.

I said a-hey,hey now
At the end of the day now,
I get carried away now
Thinking of you,ooh

How you looked that night,
You kissed goodbye just right,
Then turned away
And i miss you night and day.

Hey,a-hey, hey now,
At the end of the day now,
I get carried away now,
Thinking of you, ooh

Who holds you tight?,

Are you alright
For you know, i still love you,

But i'm just so sentimental,
Baby because of you,
Yes i'm just too sentimental
And it's,breaking my heart in two...

If i my friend can't tell you.
When you my friend are wrong.
Not to do what you want to
Just because it's wrong.

Well then my friend in passing.
We've been friends too long.
And i my friend must tell you,
Leave that woman alone.

Your little girls might not understand,
And you know the baby would cry.
And what would you do if their mommy knew,
And she told you "goodbye"?

Let it end my friend say it's over,
And thank the stars above.
That you've got a home to run to,
And a sweet sweet woman to love.
I must say my friend if you stay my friend.
Leave that woman alone.leave my woman alone.

We never find the time to be close again

Too many things to do now you don't need me

Well you should be an actress
You play your part so well
Your act is so believable
That no one else can tell

You say the lines, but i see
That you don't really love me

You keep me around to be your faithful clown
Till someone you can love comes along
You'll keep on pretending
Because the show must go on

Yes, you should be an actress
As lovely as you are
The way you play on emotion
You'd shame the brightest star

You're acting all the time
No, you're not really mine

I'm just another scene in your play acting scheme
No, you dont love me at all
But when you walk away
That's when the curtain will fall

But i'll go all the way to the end of the play
I'll be a part of your masquerade
Although i know it may be the saddest show
In the life of a fool on parade

The platters


Oh, my love, my darling

I've hungered for your touch

A long, lonely time



And time goes by, so slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?



I need your love

I need your love

God speed your love to me



Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea

To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh:

Wait for me, wait for me

I'll be coming home

Wait for me

He calls you from the office and he tells you that he's sorry
But it looks like he'll be working late again and he asks you how your day went
But he didn't say he missed you and he'd rather be home with you and the kids
Then suddenly the day has lost it's meaning and you find it hard to hold the tears inside
And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries

You ask him if he'd call you when he's working late again
But it's nine o'clock and still he hasn't called and the dinner fixed with special care
Is getting cold, and he's not there - you wonder if he really cares at all
Another lonely night and he's not with you and you find it hard to hold the tears inside
And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries

Now you push aside the curtains and you're looking out the window
And the kids are playing with him in the yard, he takes you out occaisonally
And once more you're a family and he thought about your birthday after all
It's then you know the reason why you love him and he'll never know the joy you feel inside
And all the tears you've cried, just a part of a woman's life, when a woman's happy inside
It's another reason why a woman cries, just another reason why a woman cries

Were the nights any sweeter
The mornings any cooler, when she was here?
Or was the mind grown accustomed to hearing "good morning dear"?

Should i still feel all the sunshine
That remembering brings to mind with my thoughts of her?
Lord, we both know things could never be the way they were

Her little girl illusions
Built the wall of confusion between right and wrong
That stands between her and the dream i had cherished so long

Now faded and tattered, once all that mattered when she was here
And a mind grown accustomed to hearing "good morning dear"

Were the nights any sweeter
The mornings any cooler, when she was here?
Or was the mind grown accustomed to hearing "good morning dear"?

Weit im suden, leigt ein hafen
Es war vunderbar, dort vor einem jahr
Tausend wunder, dort im hafen sind die grunde
Das ich bald, nach suden fahr

San fernando, san fernando
Ich komm weider, wenn die rosen wieder bluhn
San fernando, gruss maria
Gruss die sterne und die liebesmelodien

Weit im suden, leigt ein hafen
Der voll zauber ist, den man nei verygisst
Doch das schonste, doch im hafen
Sind die lippen, die mich tausendmal gekusst

San fernando, san fernando
Ich komm weider, wenn die rosen wieder bluhn
San fernando, gruss maria
Gruss die sterne und die liebesmelodien

There's a place i call sleepy hollow
Where i go when you're not around
There's a brook running clear in the meadow
I lose my blues in it's sound

The wind and the trees from the hollow
Whisper secrets of life in my ear
When i lay down in their shadows
I dream that you're still here

The bubbling babbling brook is your laughter
The wind blowing softly,your touch
I've found the one thing i'm after
Your love, your love means so much

Until you say that you love me
And make all my dreams come true
I'll go down to my sleepy hollow
And dream my dreams of you
I'll go down to my sleepy hollow
And dream my dreams of you

Orbison/price

I've heard some people say that you should live just for today
And not let your life just drag on and on
Now since you've come along i know that they're not wrong
And together we'll make a run for the sun

I've wasted my time living line by line, taking it sure, taking it slow

But since you touched my hand, now i can understand
And i know why that we can fly and we will have fun
While we make a run for the sun, a run for the sun

Too shy at the start, to open my heart, i couldn't chance getting hurt

You showed me the way, how to live for today
You were the key, you came to me and now i am free
Now look what we've done, we've had our fun
We made our run all the way to the sun
All of the way, all the way to the sun

Barbara, bye bye won't be coming round tonite

Barbara, although you say you're lonely, miss me so
Oh yeah, well that's the way it goes

Barbara, how could you, what did i do wrong?
Barbara, oh would you do the same again?

I can paint a sunset across the sky of blue
Only with you, only with you
I can be a master at anything i do
Only with you, only with you
I found the end of the rainbow my golden treasure too
Only with you, only with you
The sun looks good in the morning and i love the night time too
Only with you, only with you

All my world would end dear my rising star would fall
If ever i should lose you i would be nothing at all

All my world is heaven i'll be happy my whole life through
Only with you, only with you

Tell me one more lie, i'll cry you one more cry, tell me that you love me one more time

One more time, tell me that you care, one more time, honey i'll be there

Well i never felt more like singing the blues
Cos i never thought that i'd ever lose your love, dear
Why'd you do me this way?
Well, i never felt more like crying all night
Cos everything's wrong and nothing is right without you
You got me singing the blues

Well the moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone i thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry over you

Well, i never felt more like runnin' away
But why should i go, 'cos i couldn't stay without you
You got me singing the blues

Well i never felt more like singing the blues
Cos i never thought that i'd ever lose your love, dear
Why'd you do me this way?
Well, i never felt more like crying all night

I was a clown when i thought i had found
A love for me and only me but she laughed at the clown
Turned him down turned him down

I never frown ah, ah, ah, i'm the clown
For it breaks my heart i play the part of a clown
Runnin round trouble bound i'm the clown

I wander all around wondering if you ever cared
I go from place to place, i look from face to face
Hoping that you will be there

All over town the word is out it's all around
That i love her still guess i always will i'm the clown
Runnin round trouble bound i'm the clown

Orbison/dees

You're the figure of a woman
You're the mind of a child
A pretty whirlwind

You don't know just what you're doing
When you love me with your smile
A lovely whirlwind

A whirlwind of warm desire
Whirlwind, burning fire woman, realize
That the devil in disguise, is a whirlwind
Born to be running wild and free
Whirlwind

Born to make fools of guys like me
You pick me up like a whirlwind
You put me down like a whirlwind
Each time you touch me i'm trouble-bound
Whirl,whirl,whirlwind, whirl,whirl,whirlwind
Whirl,whirl,whirlwind, whirl,whirl,whirlwind
Whirlwind

Happy birthday, happy birthday, baby
Oh, i love you so

Sixteen candles make a lovely light
But not as bright as your eyes tonight (as your eyes tonight) (oh)
Blow out the candles, make your wish come true
For i'll be wishing that you love me, too (that you love me, too)

You're only sixteen (sixteen)
But you're my teenage queen (you're my queen)
You're the prettiest, loveliest girl i've ever seen (i've ever seen) (oh!)

Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for i love you so (for i love you so)

You're only sixteen (sixteen)
But you're my teenage queen (you're my queen)
Oh, you're the prettiest, loveliest girl i've ever seen (i've ever seen) (oh!)

For ever and ever for i love you so (for i love you so)
For i love you so!!!

Well, well, hey hey yeah now...
I got a brand-new baby and i feel so good
She loves me even better than i thought she would
I'm on my way to her house and i'm plumb out of breath
When i see her tonight, i'm gonna squeeze her to death

Claudette, pretty little pet
Claudette, never make me fret, claudette
She's the sweetest little girl that i've ever met
Got the best love that i'll ever get from claudette
Pretty little pet claudette

Well i'm a lucky man my baby treats me right
She's gonna let me hug and kiss and hold her tight
When the date is over and we're at her front door
When she kiss me goodnight i'll holler "more, more, more!"

Claudette, pretty little pet, claudette
Never make me fret, claudette
She's the greatest little...
Greatest little girl that i've ever met
Got the best love that i'll ever get from claudette
Pretty little pet claudette


Well when me and my new baby have a date or three
I'm gonna ask my baby if she'll marry me
I'm gonna be so happy for the rest of my life
When my brand-new baby is my brand-new wife

Never make me fret, claudette
She's the sweetest little girl that i ever met
Got the best love that i'll ever get from claudette

Autumn leaves, when they fall
Whisper to the wind, ringing out, telling all
Of the summer's end.
Now you're gone far away, how i long to hear you say
"i love you."

Whirling leaves, swirling leaves tell me i'm alone
Wishing you were here with me longing for you home.
Winter nights are lonely nights how i long to hold you tight
I miss you.

A gentle breeze in the trees will tell me spring is here
And i feel anxiety knowing you'll be near.
Summer nights, i'll hold you tight
Under the moon above you'll be my summer love.

When summer's here and you are near every day i'll pray
Autumn leaves will never come and with me you'll stay
You will mean more to me, yes, you'll be
More than just a summer love

(orbison)

Tell me why you left me, tell me why you cry
Tell you why i stayed around, tell me why she lied

I'll tell why my heart's broken, tell me why she said goodbye
Tell me why she left me, i'll tell you why you cry

You tell me, then i'll tell you, i'll tell you why i love her
Tell me why she said goodbye, tell me why she left me
I'll tell you why i cry

Tell me why i'm lonely, i'll tell why i'm alone
Tell you why i stayed around, tell me why she has gone


I'll tell why my heart's broken, tell me why she was untrue
Tell me why she left me, i'll tell you why i'm blue

You tell me then i'll tell you, i'll tell you why i love her
Tell me why she said goodbye, tell me why she left me
I'll tell you why i cry, you tell me then i'll tell you

Raindrops, raindrops
I look out my window and what do i see
Raindrops, raindrops
They mark the pathway to my destiny
Raindrops, raindrops
Yes rain like the tears that fell from my heart
The day you said we'd have to part
And now what's left for me to do
But watch those raindrops and cry over you

Instrumental

You've stolen my love and my heart away
Raindrops, raindrops
And i'll feel the same for the rest of my days
Raindrops, raindrops
Well i've tried yes i've tried i want you to know
I did what you asked i loved you so
But i knew in my heart it wouldn't be long
Till i'd look up and you'd be gone

Yes, i suppose at times
I think about her
She was once so much a
Part of me
Heaven knows i've learned to
Live without her
And hell, it was, at times
It was a painful memory
But for all it matters now, if it does
For all that tried to be, but never was
For all the times i've tried,
I wouldn't change it if i could
For all she meant to me, i'll remember the good
I'll forget the bad
All the good times we've had
Won't make me quite so sad
When i'm remembering
And for all the times i've tried,
I wouldn't change it if i could
For all she meant to me, i'll remember the good
For all she meant to me, i'll remember the good.

When love's light slowly starts to fade.
On dreams and promises we made.
What can we do to right this wrong.
After the love,after the love has gone.

When did our love began to die.
It seems too lata to wonder why.
This feeling seems so strong.
After the love, after the love has gone.

After the love has gone.
How can we still be friends.
How can we carry on.
After the love,after the love has gone.

And now it's time to say goodbye.
Just walka way, try not to cry.
We'll love again before too long.
After the love, after the love has gone.

After the love has gone.
After it finally ends.
There'll be no sweet love songs.
After the love, after the love has gone.
How can we still be friends.
How can we carry on.
After the love, after th elove has gone

D folger

Wish that i could wish away love
Every memory
All the things young dreams are made of
That ever used to be

Cos if i could leave it all behind me
There'd be nothing left to constantly remind me
Of amy, of amy

She comes and goes just like the seasons
Keeping me on the run
Between the fever and the reason
I'm not the only one

And i guess i'll always feel the same about love
And i'll find it hard to even live without the love
Of amy, amy, oh amy
Amy, amy, amy, amy...

(jack segal/evelyn danzig)

I peeped in to say good night
When i heard my child in prayer
"send for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"

All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In my town no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking

I peeped in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If i live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

(orbison/dees)

Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind
Between the sunset and the dawn.
So tenderly your memory
Lingers with me on and on

Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind
You are still with me it seems
A life to live, a love to give,
And you will live in my dreams.

You don't love me,
But you love for me to be in love with you.
You lured me on,led me on
But when i fell you were gone.

Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind,
Now a song in my heart.
A soft refrain you will remain
To live in my heart again

Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind.

California woman
Hanging heavy on my mind
Never found another like her
Guess she was just one of a kind

She never wrapped no strings around me
She could treat a man so fine
I still see her golden hair
And the caliifornia sunshine

Mississippi rain falling on my head
No california woman sleeping in my bed
Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind
I need my california woman and the california sunshine

Golden california beaches
Knocking on a beach house door
They say that california woman
She don't live here anymore

They say she left with a stranger
Leaving nothing left behind
She buried all my dreams here
In the california sunshine

Mississippi rain falling on my head
No california woman sleeping in my bed
Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind
I need my california woman and the california sunshine
I need my california woman and the california sunshine

This lackadaisical mood is driving me mad, i'm feeling so lazy
Flowers in bloom, and i'm humming a tune
I've looked at the moon till i'm crazy

The temperature is a little bit warm, and though i know he meant no harm
Oh, spring fever has got me in love with you, with you, with you, oh, spring fever
Church bells are ringing and the birdies are singing, cute little cupid is calling
The birds and the bees and the budding trees have made the love bug come calling

I feel just like a love sick fool, mother nature, now don't be cruel because oh,
Spring fever has got me so in love with you, with you, with you, oh, spring fever
Spring has sprung, well i've really been stung, there's no reason to doubt it
I'm really in love, cupid gave me the shove, there ain't no two ways about it

By this beautiful sky of blue i swear i'll never get over you, oh spring fever
Has got me so in love with you, oh, spring fever

(don gibson)

If i could see you just one time
Oh, how it'd ease my troubled mind
If i could hold you just one time
And then pretend that you're still mine

Lips that used to thrill me so
They now thrill someone else i know
Gone is the love that once was mine
Wish i could see you just one time

Oh, oh, oh, oh i miss you so
Oh, i need you so
I'd, i'd, i'd give this heart of mine
If i could see you just one time

<instrumental interlude>

Wish i could relive just one time
Turn back the pages and there i'd find
That same old love that once was mine
Wish i could see you just one time

Oh, oh, oh, oh i miss you so
Oh, i need you so
I'd, i'd, i'd give this heart of mine
If i could see you just one time
Mmmm...

My girlfriend slipped and fell
Now she's hanging from a cliff
I can't come to her rescue
But these flowers i must sniff

You see i'd really like to save her
But i aint got the nerve
I'm chicken hearted
I'm chicken hearted

I'm tryin' to kiss my girl
And it makes me want to faint
I'm scared of my own shadow
And afraid of what i ain't

I've no inspiration
I'm kinda yellow...
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

Mama's in the workshop
Daddy's in the jail
I seem to be afraid
To go to work and make their bail

I guess my folks will have
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

Joe melson/ glenn barber

Morning comes into my room, through pretty purple curtains
And looks upon a man so satisfied, i hold a woman in my arms
And watch her while she's sleeping, and i know that i'm the man on suzie's mind

I'm the pretty dress she buys, i'm the little bug she drives
I'm the picture that she shows to everybody that she knows
I'm the wiggle in her walk, i'm the giggle in her talk
I'm the happy little song she sings, she wears my love for all to see

Sail on by, silver moon, i won't follow you this time
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, i'm the man on suzie's mind
I'm the stops on her way home, i'm the dime in the telephone
I'm the honey that she talks about, i'm the old meanie when she pouts

I'm the carpet, need her feet every night before she sleeps
I'm the pillow where she lays her head, i'm the last word that she said
Sail on by, silver moon, i won't follow you this time
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, i'm the man on suzie's mind
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, i'm the man on suzie's mind
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, i'm the man on suzie's mind...

Oh it's been 22 lonely blue days without a word from you
And 44 million more tears i've cried since you walked through that door
The sun never reaches my doorstep each empty day seems to be the same
You've broken your vow but i still love you now, oh this love of mine is a one way losing game

And it's been 22 lonely blue days without a word from you
And 44 million more tears i've cried since you walked through that door
The dreams that we share are gone forever but i still have a little hope in my heart
Is this the way it ends? are we to be both friends? oh i can't go on if we're to be apart

And it's been 22 lonely blue dayswithout a word from you
And 44 million more tears i've cried since you walked through that door

Yeah 22 days since you walked through that door
Ah 22 days since you walked through that door
Yeah 22 days since you walked through that door
Mmmm 22 days since you walked through that door

Lavender lace, tears on my face
Our love ??? to celebrate our first date
But i'm alone in lavender lace

Lavender lace, there's not a trace
Of that guy that i love so well
Now he won't see me in lavender lace

Why oh why didn't my baby show?
Why oh why, didn't he love me, no
I don't know if i've ever been so lonely
Lonely in lavender lace

Oh, lavender lace seems out of place
It's 2am, well what's with him, making me cry?
Giving me blues in lavender lace

She was the wind, the earth and sky
She was the one who made me laugh and cry
She was cake and she was wine
She was fun and she was mine

She'd lie lie lie to me
And i'd believe her
She'd cry and cry and cry for me
I couldn't leave her

No one could hurt, no one could flirt
And no one could smile like she could
She was misery and sorrow
She was reason for tomorrow

The smile of the cat was on her face
A shepard way she love to run the race
The style of the fox men embrace
To know her was to love her
And no one could treat me like she could

She was just a little girl
She was a woman of the world
She was all my dreams
She was many things
But she is, she was, she'll always be
A woman

Roy orbison/mike curb

Man by himself lives in a world a world of his own
But there's no one who can live in the world all alone
For it takes all kinds of people
It doesn't matter where they come from
Yes it takes all kinds of people
The good, the bad, and everyone

On the way up, a man can walk over his friends
What goes up comes down
One day he may need them again
For it takes all kinds of people
It doesn't matter where they come from
Yes it takes all kinds of people
The good, the bad, and everyone

Therell come the day when everyone passes him by
What will he say when nobody answers his cry?
That it takes all kinds of people
It doesn't matter where they come from
Yes it takes all kinds of people
It may take some time
But each man will find
That he needs all kinds of people
That he must believe in people
Yes it takes all kinds of people
To make a world

When i was young, i spent my summer days
Playin' on the track.
The sound of the wheels rollin' on the steel
Took me out, took me back.

Big train from memphis,
Big train from memphis,
Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

Like no one before, he let out a roar,
And i just had to tag along.
Each night i went to bed with the sound in my head,
And the dream was a song.

Big train from memphis,
Big train from memphis,
Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

Well i've rode 'em in and back out again
You know what they say about trains;
But i'm tellin' you when that memphis train came through,
This ol' world was not the same.

Big train from memphis,
Big train from memphis,
Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

I'll bring you the talon from an eagle
A big black pearl from the sea
I'll bring one and twenty ponies
If you'll bring wildflower to me

Medicine man,make your magic mine
Turn wildflower to a clinging vine
Medicine man won't you please help me
Don't leave me down in misery

Rattle them bones,then roll them stones
And make wildflower mine

I will bring you white buffalo
I'll bring honey from the bee
I'll keep fire-water flowing
If you'll get the big chief to agree

Medicine man, help me if you can
Write a secret message in the sand
Medicine man, please let her know
Tell wildflower that i love her so

Take the breeze and shake the trees
And make wildflower mine

Now she has no use for a white man
Helpless and worthless like me
Tell her father big-strong-hand
To let wildflower comfort me

Medicine man,medicine man
Let it be known throughout the land
Medicine man, medicine man
I have to have the hand of wildflower

Take this piece of calico
Make a dress with a pretty bow
Tie it with a thread of lace
Take it to your secret place
Go into your sacred dance
Say a prayer for our romance
And make wildflower mine

When we walk by people stop and stare
They say that you don't care
What people say about you
But i know that you do and i do too

But let them say what they may
We'll find a way to make our dreams come true
Bad boy, bad boy i'll stand by you

I've heard them say you'll never change
That you're bad and bad to stay
You're just that way
And there's nothing that you can do

But my love for you will se me through
And darling, i'm so proud
So proud that i'll tell them out loud
That i'm in love with you
Bad boy bad boy....

I was a fool, i only wanted you

I don't lose my blues
When i pretend you're with me
Though i make believe
I'm still alone
When i think of you
My empty arms remind me
That my one true love has gone

I was a fool, that's why i cried over you
I was a fool, i only wanted you

When i smile so gay, everybody knows
That i've lost my love
But that's the way it goes
When i think of you
My empty arms remind me
That my one true love has gone

I was a fool, that's why i cried over you
I was a fool, i only wanted you

Carl and greg perkins

Well nashville had country music but memphis had the soul
Lord, the white boy had the rhythm and that started rock and roll
And i was here when it happened don't you all think i ought to know
I was here when it happened, yeah, yeah, yeah
I watched memphis give birth to rock and roll, lord, lord yeah.

Unknown - unreleased song circa 1969

They criticise me for loving you, for seeing you
Giving no reason, they don't know you lillian
Be a mystic figure, shed your feelings from within
Let it go unnoticed where you've been lillian

So take from me what i have to give
For i have taken from you
The crystal world in which you live
Shall fall and tumble too

Let me see, set you free
From the life you live
You have shared, lillian

I know not why you want me
But i know why i want you
I don't need a reason
It's just you, lillian

So take from me what i have to give
For i have taken from you
The crystal world in which you live
Shall fall and tumble too

And let you see, set you free
From the life you live
You have shared, lillian
Lillian, lillian

Windsurfer
All he wanted was to ride out on the wind
Windsurfer
To be one of the guys and to look good in her eyes

He practiced in his dreams
Trying to coast the waves
Most of the time he sailed alone
Endless summer days
Flying in the sun
He'd ride and wait for the wind
To take him home

Windsurfer
Windsurfer
Windsurfer
Windsurfer

He said let's sail away together
She told him no no never no
Wind windsurfer

It was early one morning
On a lovely beach
He left a message and
He wrote it in the sand
Why do we always go for
Something out of reach?
Nobody ever really understands

Windsurfer
All he wanted to do
Was outrun the sun
Windsurfer
To take her in his dreams
When the lonely day was done

Oh my darling, i fear everytime you're near
I will hurt you again, so don't wait till then
Shy away, shy away, shy away from me

There's a shadow of doubt and my mind can't work it out
I' not sure of myself, so put me on your shelf
And shy away, shy away, shy away from me

You're too much of a woman, when will you understand?
I've got a lot of the devil in me, so never hold my hand again
Shy away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

If i reach out for you, i'll break your heart in two
And i want you to stay so please hear what i say
Shy away, shy away, shy away from me

Please keep away from me, far away, safe from me
Darling, you must shy away, yeah-hey

(bill justis)
My girlfriend slipped and fell
Now she's hanging from a cliff
I can't come to her rescue
But these flowers i must sniff

You see i'd really like to save her
But i aint got the nerve
I'm chicken hearted
I'm chicken hearted

I'm tryin' to kiss my girl
And it makes me want to faint
I'm scared of my own shadow
And afraid of what i ain't

I've no inspiration
I'm kinda yellow...
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

Mama's in the workshop
Daddy's in the jail
I seem to be afraid
To go to work and make their bail

I guess my folks will have to stay there
Cos i'm just like a snail
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

Ronald blackwell

If your love for me is just temporary
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while

And if i'm not in your plans for a lifetime
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while

Just like a child at play
I'll make believe you'll stay
And if you go away
I'll always miss my best playmate

So if your sweet kiss is just for the moment
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while
Just let me make believe a while

Daydream, daydream, daydream
Well, day-day-daydream
Well i got troubles on my mind
And time on my hands and i'm lonely
I leave the world behind
And i spend all my time with you only

Well there's a place i know
Where we can go
So we can be alone
Sometimes i live in a dream world of my own

Well here i go, away up high
And daydream, daydream, daydream
Well i run away on the milky way
And daydream of you

Well, when things are not so hot
And i've got the blues
I dream a lot
Yeah, when i'm not with you

Well it's so much fun to be the one
On a flight through fantasy
Well, when i dream
Yuo're always with me

Well here i go, away up high
And daydream, daydream, daydream
??? ???, and i catch a shooting star
And daydream of you
You, you, you
You, you, you

You're gone again this morning.
How long will you keep running on and on.
Can't you see the warning.
I need you more than ever.
Before you're gone forever.
Please don't let your heart run out of time.

Wild hearts run out of time.
When you're up against the night.
Don't stand there all alone.
In the dying of the light.

Wild hearts run out of time.
And you'll need a love like mine.
To show you hope is there.
In the sunshine of your mind.
Wild hearts run out of time.

Don't let this old world turn you.
Dont' let the wild life hurt you anymore.
Don't let the bright lights burn you.
Please don't stand there crying.
Because the time is flying.
I can't let your heart run out of time.

Wild hearts run out of time.
When you're up against the night.
Don't stand there all alone.
In the dying of the light.

Wild hearts run out of time.
And you'll need a love like mine.
To show you hope is there
In the sunshine of your mind.
Wild hearts run of time.

It could be yours or mine.
It happens all the time.
Wild hearts run out of time.

It could be yours or mine.
It happens all the time.
Wild hearts run out of time.
Wild hearts run out of time.

I have been somebody on nobody's mind.
A funny kind of winner losing all the time.
On my way to somewhere with no place to go.
Then you said hello.

And now i walk with you.i talk with you.
At last you're here.in my arms, close to me, so very near.

Touching me, reaching me, with the everything you do.
Long nights through.god love you.
God love you.god love you.
You loving way will make me stay.god love you.

You've become the only one who's always there.
In my dreams, on my mind, in every prayer.

By your side i'm satisfied no way to hide,
This feeling i have for you.
I'll swear it's true.god love you.
God love you.god love you.

God loves you for being you.
And i thank you for loving me too.
God love you.

I had somebody,somebody who loved me.someone so good to me.
You were my angel, you were my heaven, but i was too blind to see.

I let you slip away, i guess i never knew.i had the world with you .
I'd be there, still be there in your arms.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be mine.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside.i wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.if not for my careless heart.
I had my chances,i took advantage.i took it all too far.
So now you're gone, and i'm all alone,alone with my lonely heart.

I let it fall apart,i didn't care enough.i lost your precious love.
You'd be here,still be here in my arms.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be mine.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside.i wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.if not for my careless heart.
You'd still be mine.
I'd be loving you, i'd be holding you,i'd be loving you.
If not for my careless heart.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside.i wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.if not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be mine.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside.i wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.if not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be loving me.
You'd be loving me.you'd still be mine.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside
I wouldn't have these tears to cry....

We walk in shadows, we talk in shadows
We date in shadows dark and cold

But wait, it will be alright
Wait, baby hold me so tight
I hate to break your loving heart in two
But wait, i can't stay away from you.

I promise you i'll be with you tomorrow night
I have to wait until the time is right
Yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now
Wait a little longer now for me
Oh what you do to me
Wait now until i am free

Yeah yeah yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now for me
Wait, come on come on girl
Wait, try to be strong girl

Working all day and the sun don't shine
Trying to get by and i'm just killing time
I feel the rain fall the whole night through
Far away from you california blue

California blue dreaming all alone
Nothing else to do california blue
Everyday i pray i'll be on my way
Saving love for you california blue

One sunny day, i'll get back again
Somehow, someway but i don't know when
California blue california blue

Living my life with you on my mind
Thinking of things that i left far behind
It's been so long doing all i can do
To get back to you california blue

California blue dreaming all alone
Nothing else to do california blue
Everyday i pray i'll be on my way
Saving love for you california blue

One sunny day i'll get back again
Somehow, someway but i don't know when

Still missing you california blue
Still missing you california blue

Hey here i go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos i know i've got my fast guitar
Singing pretty songs, knowing i belong
I am first and last, and always a fast guitar

The fastest guitar alive
Rattling strings like a gattling gun
Shaped like a lovely woman
Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive

I'm rolling on like a rolling stone
Gathering no moss, i play a boss guitar

The fastest guitar alive
Strumming like a battling soldier's drum
Shaped like a lovely woman
Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive

Hey here i go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos i know i've got my fast guitar

Where is tomorrow? flying on golden wings,tomorrow.

Where is tomorrow? the end of time.
Where is tomorrow.you're no longer mine.

Tomorrow, tomorrow.i'll get over you.
Tomorrow,tomorrow.when tomorrow comes,
Then i'll stop loving you,tomorrow.

Where is tomorrow? tomorrow is gone.
Gone losting stardust,hiding from the dawn.
Tomorrow,tomorrow.tomorrow.

I long for tomorrow.i'll be strong tomorrow.
I want cry for you tomorrow.
Where is tomorrow?
Where is tomorrow?

(chorus 1)
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring

(chorus 2)
Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well it's all right, everyday is judgement day

Maybe somewhere down the road aways
You'll think of me, wonder where i am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple haze

(chorus 3)
Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

Don't have to be ashamed of the car i drive
I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive
It don't matter if you're by my side
I'm satisfied

(chorus 4)
Well it's all right, even if you're old and grey
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive

(chorus 5)
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

Mama, just had to call, oh mama
Your baby boy just had his heart
Broken in two, she said we're through
But to send her best to you.
Oh mama, i'd like to run to you mama
I'd come home today, leave right away
But things won't work that way
Gotta stay, and be a man
If i can, oh mama.

No mom, i don't know i called her tonight
No, not at home, yeah, you're probably right
Yes i'll take care of myself. no i'll be alright
I'll go to bed early tonight.
Oh mama, tell dad i think of him, mama
How's uncle joe, my puppy go-go
Tell them hello, oh i'd better go
But good gosh, i loved her so.

Oh mama, don't worry so much, darling mama
Now mama don't cry, just say goodbye
Can't have us both in tears well mom, you know me
Yes i'll always be your baby through all the years.

Another day, another night
Another tired old country song
You know, i sing of love delight
But i know it's all wrong

The life i live out on the road
Is one i swear no one could love
Yet i feel i must go on
And sing this tired
This tired old country song

I move around from place to place
But all the towns look just the same
I see the same old face
Losin' still my claim to fame

I'll sing the guitar blues
Drink my drink and pay the dues
Then i guess i'll ramble on
And sing this tired
This tired old country song

Why did i have to compromise
To reach my piece of the fame?
Life could have been so different
In that eight to five game

So i guess i'll settle down
Get my feet back on the ground
Once a country star
Now i'm just a country clown

Hang my guitar on the wall
I won't need it anymore
For i think the time has come
To end this tired
This tired old country song
To end this tired
This tired old country song

Orbison/buie

It's been so long since you dropped by the store
You're still as pretty as you were before
You've still got personality and poise
You were always such a hit with me and the boys

What - you need some candy
A magazine, some toys
To take back home
To bobby and the boys

Yes i remember bobby
Mr. popularity
Do you ever tell him
How it was with you and me?

Here, take the candy
There'll be no charge for the toys
And give my best
To bobby and the boys

As i lock up, there my baby goes
How much i love that girl, nobody knows
Guess i'll go out to bright lights and noise
While she goes home to bobby and the boys
While she goes home to bobby and the boys

Love laughed at you and made you blue
Now here's what you should do

Well laugh, though your heart is breaking in two
Yeah laugh, don't let them know he hurt you
Well laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh

Laugh, though the one you love is really gone
Yeah laugh, even though you'll be alone
Yeah laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh

Well let me hear you laugh now
Though it's hard, so hard for you to do
Laugh with me, cos you see
I've been there too

Well laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh and believe it's not the end
Yeah laugh like a clown
Don't let your heart break down
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh

Love laughed, it's true
But look at you
Now you're laughing too

This is the last song
The very last song tonight
And the song is blue

This is the last song
Yeah, the last song, hold me tight
Though i shouldn't be with you

This is the last time
The very last time i'll see you
Hold me close and don't you cry

This is the last song
The very last song tonight
And this song means goodbye

I won't forget the melody
That takes your love away from me
But i guess what will be will be

And tonight, in your arms
Is like heaven to me
But i belong to someone else
And she's waiting, waiting
Waiting for me

Goodbye, goodbye
And remember, remember me
And this song will be our song
And this song will be our song
And the last song for me

Written by orbison/melson.
When evening shadows fall.
I'm not lonely at all.
Now that you're with me i recall.
How much i love you.

Close again.
Now i'm alright, tonight we're close again.
Touching your hand means that we're close again.
Reaching each other now within
At last we're two are really close again.

How long has it been since we loved like this?,
I'll never ever know.
It seems like only yesterday.
Yet it seems so long ago.

Close again.
Down deep inside we're both are close again.
A love that died can be alive again.
I can survive because you've let me in.
Into your heart so very close again.

So love me,like you loved me when you loved me,
And say that's all you want to do.
I am what i am,and all that i am.
Is in love with you,and only you.

So close again.
That's all that matter,we're close again.
Dreams that were scattered are close again.
Hearts that were shattered begin to mend.
Can't help but cry.
For you and i are close again.

Orbison/price

At times it seems too rough, things just drag me down
It's hard to find the strength to just one more round

When i need help, i know where to go
'cos you're the best friend that i could ever know

Being taught the words from you .... from what is true
Someone to share the pain that i'm going through

And it's a heavy load that i bear and it's a heavy crown that i wear
As i travel down this road, it's a heavy load, it's a heavy load


It's a heavy load that i bear and it's a heavy crown that i wear
So help me one more time, it's such an uphill climb
As i travel down this road, it's a heavy load

Lord it's a heavy load, lord it's a heavy load, lord it's a heavy load
Lord it's a heavy load, lord it's a heavy load....

Words and music: m. cowan

Roy sang this song whilst on an australian tour
It was taped by a fan and circulated.....

Once a jolly swagman, camp´d by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watch´d and waited till his billy boiled,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
And he sang as he sat and waited till his billy boiled,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shaoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
And he sang as he shaoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down come the troopers, one, two, three,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you´ve got in your tucker bag?
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you´ve got in your tucker bag?
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong,
Drowning himself by the coolibah tree,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where time just slips away
Without her as my guide

Night falls i'm cast beneath here spell
Daylight comes our heaven's torn to hell
Am i left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cuts like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then i just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

Haunted by her side the darkness in her eyes
But that so enslaves me
If my love is blind then i don't want to see
She's a mystery to me

Night falls i'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven's torn to hell
Am i left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me

She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, woo-hoo-hoo
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, please come back to me
Last night a certain rockabilly singer came to town
My gal says that she'd like to hear his crazy rhythm sound
So we went down to see him and he shook her up for sure
'cause today he's gone and my heather, she is following his tour
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, woo-hoo-hoo
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, please come back to me

This guy was just a hillbilly singer at the start
But when he added rock 'n' roll he tore the place apart
The moment my gal heard him, you'd swear an earthquake begins
She started with a-itchin' and a-twakin', then got up and ran

Some things are just meant to be
Don't, don't, don't cry for me
I've had my moments
And i guess what will be will be

Hey, hey, don't feel that way
Win or lose, there'll be another day
Don't, don't, don't disillude
I've had my moments
And i've had a dream or two

Don't worry 'bout me, don't shed one tear
Don't feel sorry, it's been a real good year
Ah, that's sweet of you, don't you cry now
I got along before, i'll get along right now

Don't worry 'bout me, don't shed one tear
Don't feel sorry, it's been a real good year
Ah, that's sweet of you, don't you cry now
I got along before, i'll get along right now

I've been loving you since you were sweet 16
Good lookin' woman jerry lee ever seen
C'mon girl you got my heart a really jamming
Go ahead and keep my mother humping motor running
Lets go why don't you put it on the floor
Woman you really got me humming keep my motor running

I got fuel injections jerry lee's got front wheels

You'll really love the feel
Satin sheets crawl up and down my lovely bed
If you lift the pillow you can lay your lovely head
Lets go, whooooo, put it on the floor
Really got me humming, keep my motor running

Oh go rock and roll baby

Why don't you keep my motor running

There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the wind.
Born on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sends.

He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,
This little bird that somebody sends.

He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies.

The other night me and my girl went bowling
The other night me and my girl went bowling
Went to a place called joe's that's where everybody goes

When we walked in she turned every face in the place
When we walked in she turned every face in the place
A cool number jumped up and made a play for my girl
I said "come on boy"

I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"
I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"
"oh when you you mess with me that only rings my alarm"

Well the music was a-rockin' and the place was a-jumpin' with jive
Well the music was a-rockin' and the place was a-jumpin' with jive
Well the same cool number made the same wrong move
I hit him in the head

I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"
I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"
"oh when you you mess with me that only rings my alarm"

I want to talk to folks back home again, to walk along a lonely country lane
To spend some time with that woman of mine, heading south, heading south

Things look bright and i feel alright yeah i'm heading south

Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light,to join the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom
Under the cumberland moon heading south, heading south

Give me room to travel on my way to a place where dreams all fade away
Where the river flows and tobacco grows heading south heading south
Cause the sun is hot and people love a lot yeah i'm heading south

Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light, to join the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom under the cumberland moon
Heading south, heading south

Pretty woman
Walking down the street
Pretty woman
Ah, you look so neat
How did you get that way?

....oh. pretty woman

Well fancy dan, he's a bright young man
He's a lover
Well fancy dan, he's ahead of the clan
He's a lover

Well the word's around that all the boys in town
Are gonna tear his playhouse down
But that don't bother young dan, he's not a fighting man
He's the swingingest lover around

Well don't underestimate fancy dan
He's the leader of a local band
Don't you dare leave your baby alone
He's a modern pied piper on the saxophone

Well fancy dan, man oh man
He's a smoothie
Well fancy dan, don't you understand
He's groovy

Well the boys don't like him but the girlies do
And that's all a part of the plan
They're looking for a romance and they haven't a chance
In the arms of fancy dan

Well fancy dan, round and round he goes
Where he stops, nobody knows
You better not leave your baby alone
When he plays "come to me" on his saxophone

Bill dees

The sun on the rim of the view overlooking all that i love
Lights up every leaf and blade, birds circling high above
With trembling hand i reach down and say "this is my land"

This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown
To love it as much as i, for all the sons gone by
And when he's a man he'll do what he can
For this, my land, this is my land

When young men die in glory and for freedom take their stand
May they sing this same proud story, this is my land

Life fade away, and my body is laid to rest on the ground
May this comfort fill my soul more on the land, i know
That those after me say with much dignity
"this is my land, this is my land"

Orbison dees

Talk about troubles, i tell you i got 'em shovellin' sand on the mississipi bottom
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I killed me a man in shelby county, they turned me in for the government bounty
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Tennessee owns my soul, that little georgia gal just wouldn't listen
She tried to run away with stoney lee i caught him and i put him six feet under
I wonder if he misses me? tennessee owns my soul

Rottin' in a cell i try to forget her, wishin' like hell i'd never ever met her
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Gotta get away, gotta see my baby, gotta leave tonight, she's drivin' me crazy
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Tennessee owns my soul, if i can get as far as lookout mountain
Highway twenty four will carry me to the girl i killed another man for
Even then i know i won't be free, tennessee owns my soul
I make it to the top of the twenty foot wall, the guard - i'm hit, and i think i'm gonna fall
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Laying on a broken back and cryin', everything's goin' black and i'm dyin'
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah tennessee owns my soul, tennessee owns my soul

Jerry leiber - mike stoller

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

Sad eyes, sad eyes, across the room
Sad eyes, crying in your gloom
Sad eyes, love has been untrue

Just look at me, oh just look at me
Just look at me, i'm lonely too
I'm like you, so like you, sad eyes

Oh sad eyes
Don't you know that tears can be erased?
Oh sad eyes tears won't help
But maybe i can replace that other face

Sad eyes, sad eyes, this ain't just a line
Sad eyes, maybe we can find
Sad eyes, somewhere down the line

Happiness, oh happiness happiness together, you and i
Someday, some way, sad eyes

Orbison/dees

Baby, my baby you accuse me of flirting and hurting you no end
You say baby i'm a cheater
You oughta know that cheaters never win
Because it takes one to know one who will hurt you
It takes one to know one who'll make you blue
It takes one to know one like i know you
You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand

Baby, my baby don't blame me for playing and saying things unkind
You think baby i'm a loser
But i could win if you were close behind me
Because it takes one to know one who will love you
It takes one to know one who will cry for you
It takes one to know one like i know you
You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand

Baby, baby we're birds of a feather, baby, baby we'll live together
Baby i'm yours you are mine
And it takes one to know one, it takes one to know one
Yes it takes one to know one every time

(orbison)

Hey there, pretty one,
Take a look at what you've done.
You've broken my heart in two.

You told a hundred lies
To as many other guys,
Oh lovely, unfaithful pretty one.

Someday,when you're older
And your future has past,
You will find that your beauty
And loveliness won't last.

When the traces of time
Show in every line,
Remember i still love you
Pretty one, pretty one, pretty one.

Remember i still love you
Pretty one, pretty one, pretty one.

Bill dees/larry henley

For a while i can sing
All the world and everything is touching you
Knowing you are real a miracle beside me

For a while i can breathe
Life is you, and i can cling to fantasies
Seeing me with you keeps my soul alive now

Tomorrow, if i die
At least i'll know why i live
You're mine, if only for a while

For a while, for a while
You hold my world and you can spin it
For a while, for a while
Life is good because you're in it

Tomorrow, if i die
At least i'll know why i live
You're mine, you are mine, if only for a while

Class of 55
Early one morning it was drizzling rain round the curve came the memphis train
Heard somebody holler, and a million more, the king is dead, but lord he still ain't gone
But he still ain't gone, but he still ain't gone (my god, my god he still ain't gone)

If you wanna get to heaven, gotta d-i-e. you got to put on your coat and your t-i-e
If you wanna catch a rabbit in an l-o-g, you gotta make a commotion like a d-o-g
Like a d-o-g, like a d-o-g (oh yes, just like a d-o-g)

Good lord have mercy, what's the matter with me? what makes me wanna love every woman i see?
I'm rating one another, i'm rating again, everyone i see looks like the place i came in
Looks like the place i came in (hot dog) looks like the place i came in (the place i came in)

Lord i got my name printed on my shirt, i ain't no ordinary dude 'cos i don't have to work
I just got to town and i'm gone again, but it's a different track, but it's the same old train
It's the same old train, it's the same old train (oh god, my god it's the same old train)

Terry widlake

You've got the loving touch that i need so much
You've got the loving touch that i need so much
No matter how i try your love i couldn't buy
Cause i need so much of your love

I've got the world at my fingers and it stands at my feet
I can fly to the moon or i can sleep in the street
There's nothing in this world i couldn't do
I get all that i want just by the wave of a hand
There's nothing on earth that won't obey my command
And now i find that all i need is you

Repeat chorus

I could give the world for you to hold and you know i could
Everything i'd touch would turn to gold and you know it would
But i need something else that's only yours for the giving
I need something else to make my life worth living

Repeat chorus 2 times
