(Registrata per il  film "Flaming Star" ma non utilizzata. 
Every man has a black star
A black star over his shoulder
And when a man sees his black star
He knows his time, his time has come

* Black star don't shine on me, black star
  Black star keep behind me, black star
  There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
  Give me time to make a few dreams come true
  Black star  (Black star)

When I ride I feel that black star
That black star over my shoulder
So I ride front of that black star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around

* Repeat

One fine day I'll see that black star
That black star over my shoulder
And when I see that old black star
I'll know my time, my time has come

* Repeat


Blessed Jesus (Hold My Hand)
(Public Domain)

... mm, stepping through the sinking sand
To the cross of Calvary
Mm, let it be my prayer, dear Lord, each day
To help me do the best I can
For there is no friend on whom I can depend
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

Blessed Jesus, hold my hand ...
Oh, yes, I need thee every hour
Through the this pilgrims land
Protect me by Thy saving power
Please, hear my feeble plea
Oh, hoh, Lord, please tell me
I kneel in prayer, I try to meet you there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand, hold my hand.


Blowin' In The Wind
(Dylan)

How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
How many seas must a  white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes 'n how many times must a cannonball fly before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin' in the wind

How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes 'n how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the seas, sea?
How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head pretending that he just doesn't see, see?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin' in the wind


Blues Christmas ('68 Special Version) 
(Hayes / Johnson)

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue memories start callin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas 

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when those blue hearaches start hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right 
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas 
Ohhh I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas 


Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
(Fred Rose)

In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain
(Blue eyes crying in the rain)
(Blue eyes crying in the rain)
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue ........


Blue Hawaii
(Robin / Rainger)

Night and you and blue Hawaii
The night is heavenly
And you are heaven to me
Lovely you and blue Hawaii
With all this loveliness
There should be love

Come with me while the moon is on the sea
The night is young and so are we
So are we
Dreams come true in blue Hawaii
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you

Come with me while the moon is on the sea (the moon is on the sea)
The night is young and so are we
So are we
Dreams come true in blue Hawaii
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you


Blue Moon
(Lorenz Hart / Richard Rogers)

Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own. 
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for 
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for. 

Blue, Blue, without a love of my own. 

Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own. 

Blue, Whaaaaa,  without a love of my own.

Blue moon, Blue, Whaa Whaa Whaa Whaa Whaa  without a love of my own.


(Omesso)
(And then there suddenly appeared before me 
the only one my arms will ever hold. I heard somebody whisper,
'Please adore me' and when I looked, the moon had turned to gold.) 

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone, without a dream in my heart, 
without a love of my own.


Blue Moon of Kentucky
(Bill Monroe)

Blue moon, blue moon, blue moon, keep a-shinin' bright
Blue moon, keep a-shinin' bright
You're gonna bring me back my baby tonight
Blue moon, keep shinin' bright

I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky to keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

* Well, it was on one moonlight night
   Stars shinin' bright
   Whisper on high, love said good-bye.
   Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
   Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well, I said blue moon of Kentucky
Just a-keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky to keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Blue River
(Evans / Tobias)

Blue river, it can't be found on any map that I know
But it's the place where lonely lovers all go
To cry their tears
Blue river, it winds along a path of heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from lovin' someone in vain
The way that I loved you, and baby I still do

* (One Night) I held you so tight
  (Next night) You were out of my sight
  (Uh oh) I'm feelin' so low
  (I know) Where I gotta go
  Blue river because you never really cared about me
  From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
  Cryin' over you, by the river of blue

* Repeat

Blueberry Hill
(Lewis - Stock - Rose)

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
It lingered until my dreams came true

*   The wind in the willow played

    Love's sweet melody
    But all of those vows we made
    Were never to be

**  Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still
    For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

*   Repeat

**  Repeat


Born to Lose
(Ted Daffan)


Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life, I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you

Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
When I wake and find that you're not there
You're grown tired, and now you say we're through
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you

Born to lose, my ever hope is gone
It's so hard to face an empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you

Bossa Nova Baby

And my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tail flyin' all over the place
And the sweat poppin' out of my head."

Bridge Over Troubled Water
(Paul Simon)

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'm on your side. Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Ah, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh,like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness falls
And pain is all around
Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silvergirl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend (need a friend)
I'm sailing right. oh, behind
Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I, I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind


Bringin' It Back
(Greg Gordon)

If I could never see you, if I could never hold you
If I could never touch your face or feel your warm embrace
I still remember talkin', I still remember laughin'
I still remember lovin' a lot just touchin' you
Babe I've not forgot

'Cause everything's bringin' it back, you know it's just bringin' it back
A familiar place or a familiar face just brings it all back
And everything's bringin' it back, this song's bringin' it back
Even after so much time, ya know everything's bringin' it back

Thinkin' in my solitude, wond'ring 'bout your attitude
Thinkin' maybe that your love has died
There it is, I can see it in your eyes
That look of sweet surrender with a touch of too much sadness
'Cause I hurt you so, you know your sorrow shows.
And you just can't stay, oh, but you can't let go

'Cause everything's bringin' it back, you know it's just bringin' it back
A familiar place or a familiar face just brings it all back

* Everything's bringin' it back, this song's bringin' it back
  And even after so much time you know everything's bringin' it back

* Repeat
Bringin' it back, bringin' it back


Britches
(Wayne / Edwards)

Beware of a gal in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o
Never trust no gal in britches
No-di-o-di-o
If you had a sense of this here horse
You'd oughta know by now of course
Who wears the britches is the boss
That's a gal, that's a gal in britches

Don't mess with a gal in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o
No feminine gal wears britches
No-di-o-di-o
She'll beg you to come to the country dance
You ride twenty miles for the big romance
She shows up in her brother's pants
What'd you expect from a gal in britches

Yo-di-o-di-o-i-ay, It's not of my misfortune
Yo-di-o-di-o-di-ay, Just thought you'd like to know
Don't marry no gal in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o
You'll never know which is which's
No-di-o-di-o
She'll put a halter through your nose
Have you cookin' and washin' clothes
While she goes chasin' them buffaloes
Bet your boots, that's a gal in britches.


Brown-Eyed Handsome Man
(Lyrics by Chuck Berry)

Arrested on charges of unemployment, he was sittin' in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney, she said free that
Brown-Eyed Man
If you want your job, you better free that Brown-Eyed Man

Flyin' across the desert in a TWA, I saw a woman walkin' across the sand
She'd been walkin' 30 miles en route to Bombay to meet a Brown-Eyed
Handsome Man
Her destination was a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man 

Way back in history 3,000 years, in fact ever since the world began
There's been a whole lotta good women sheddin' tears for a Brown-Eyed
Handsome Man
That's a lotta trouble for a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man

Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind between a doctor and a
lawyer man
Her mother told her, darlin', go out and find yourself a Brown-Eyed
Handsome Man
Just like your daddy, he's a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man

Marlo Venus was a beautiful lass, she had the world in the palm of her
hand
She lost both her arms in a wrestling match to meet a Brown-Eyed
Handsome Man
She fought and won herself a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man

2-3 the count with nobody on, he hit a high fly into the stands
Rounded third, he was headed for home, it was a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man
That won the game, it was a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man    


Burning Love
(Dennis Linde)

Lord Almighty I feel my temp'rature rising, Mmm
Higher and higher it's burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl, girl, you've gone and set me on fire, Mmm
My brain is flamin' I don't know which way to go, yeh
Your kisses lift me higher like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky with burning love, Mmm

Ooh-hoo-hoo, I feel my temp'rature rising
Help me I'm flamin', I must be a hundred and nine
Burnin', burnin', burnin' and nothing can cool me, yeh
I just might turn to smoke but I feel fine
'Cos your kisses lift me higher like the sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky with burning love

(with burning love)

It's comin' closer, the flames are now lickin' my body
Won't you help me I feel like I'm slippin' away
It's hard to breathe, my chest is a heavin', mmm
Lord have mercy I'm burnin' a hole where I lay, yeh
Your kisses lift me higher like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky with burning love
With burning love (hunka hunka burning love Ha)

I'm just a hunka hunka burning love (Ha)
Just a hunka hunka burnin' love (Ha) Ha
Just a hunka hunka burnin' love (Ha)
A hunka hunka burnin' love (Ha) Ha
A hunka hunka burnin' love (Ha)
I'm just a hunka hunka burnin' love (Ha) Ha
A hunka hunka burnin' love (Ha)
I'm just a hunka hunka burnin' love


By And By
(Tradizionale - arrangiato da Elvis Presley)

* Well children by and by oh when the morning comes (Say that all)
  All the saints of God are gathering home
  We will tell the story how we'll overcome
  And we'll understand it better by and by

Trials dark on ev'ry hand and we cannot understand
All the ways God will lead us
To the blessed promised land
He will guide us with His eye
And we'll follow till we die
And we'll understand it better by and by

* Repeat

Temptation's hidden snares often take us unaware
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why they test when we try to do our best
But we'll understand it better by and by

By and by oh when the morning comes (Say that all)
All the saints of God are gathering home
We will tell the story how we'll overcome
And we'll understand it better by and by

And we'll understand him better by and by

Can't Help Falling in Love

Shall I stay would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

   Take my hand, take my whole life, too
   For I can't help falling in love with you

For I can't help falling in love with you 


Carny Town
(Wise / Starr)

A-hu-hu hurry, hurry step this way
A-hu-hu hurry, hurry step this way
Now the show you're gonna see is strictly high class
There'll be ten hula dancers shaking their grass
So step right up and put your money down
This way ...... to Carny Town

We got a man so skinny you can see his bones
We play on his ribs like a xylophone
With a pair of spoons we get a rockin' song
You'll hear it all, in Carny Town

Hurry, hurry, hurry, the house is almost full
We got a two headed cow and that's no bull!
There's a man who swallows swords and he never gets hurt
He eats a razor blade for dessert
He's just about the sharpest guy around
You'll see him here, in Carny Town

A-hu-hu hurry, hurry step this way
A-hu-hu hurry, hurry step this way
A-hu-hu hurry, hurry step this way
A-hu-hu hurry, hurry step this way
A-hu-hu .... I say we gotta end


Catchin' On Fast
(Giant / Baum / Kaye)

Won't you show me how to kiss?
Put your lips on mine
Do you do it just like this?
Tell me I'm doing fine
We got a good thing going now take your time
Come on and make it last. 
Love may be new to you but Oooh, I'm catchin' on fast

Give, give, give me all you've got to give
Love, love, love every moment you live
Now you've taught me all you know
Have I passed the test?
Show me all you've got to show
Baby you're the best

But tell me I've learned quickly and I know each trick
I'm sure love's gonna last
Love may be new to you but Oooh I'm catchin' on fast


Cattle Call
(Tex Owens)

The cattle are prowlin' and the coyotes are howlin'
Way out where the dogies bawl
Where spurs are a-jinglin' a cowboy is singin'
This lonesome cattle call

Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo

He rides in the sun, till his day's work is done
And he rounds up the cattle each fall
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Singin' his cattle call.

For hours he will ride on the range far and wide
When the night wind blows up a squall
His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather
He sings his cattle call

Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo

He's brown as a berry from ridin' the prairie
And sings with an ol' western drawl
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Singin' his cattle call.


Chain Gang 
(Sal Quasha / Herb Yakus)

* (Oh don't you know)
  That's the sound of the men
  Working on the chain gang
  (Oh don't you know)
  That's the sound of the men
  Working on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard
Till the sun's comin' down
Workin on the highways and byways
And wearin a frown

I hear them moanin' their lives away
And then you hear somebody say

* Repeat

Hear someone sayin'
Whoa I work, work so hard
See my woman, who I love so dear,
But I, I've got to work right here.

* Repeat

My, my, my, my, I work so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
Whoa I, I work so hard

You hear them moanin' their lives away,
And then you hear somebody say

* Repeat

* Repeat


Change Of Habit
(B. Kaye / B. Weisman)

If you're in old habits
Set in your old ways
Changes are a-comin'
'Cause these are changing days
And if your head is in the sand
While things are goin' on
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit

Now if you're in the habit
To let your temper fly
When you talk with people
Who don't see eye to eye
And if you don't believe that
There's a newer world ahead
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit

* A change of habit, a change of outlook
  A change of heart, you'll be all right
  The halls of darkness
  Have doors that open
  It's never too late
  To see the light

** So if you're in the habit
   Of putting people down
   Just because they're different
   From the wrong side of town
   Well, don't count on any medals son
   They're pinning none on you
   What you need, what you need,
   What you need is a change of habit

* Repeat

** Repeat
A change of habit, oh hum
A change of habit
A change of habit
Yeah


 CHARRO
(Strange,Davis)


With eyes that hide the man within
You see behind the eyes of other men
You've lived and died and come to life again
And now you're standin' alone at the crossroads of your mind
You've left your yesterdays behind..
But which road leads you to tomorrow?
Charro...

You've turned your back on yesterday
Betrayed a man who swore he'd make you pay
For when you left you took his bride away	(Note: or "pride"?)
You know he'll never let you break away so easily
You'll have to fight, before you're free
But how much more time can you borrow?
Charro...

Now in a single moment your past grows dim
One thought goes racing across your mind
You ride to meet the woman you stole from him
Oh no!...Charro don't go!...
Charro don't go!!... (Charro don't go)

There's something hanging in the wind
Your past is catching up and closing in
You've been halfway to hell and back again
And now you laugh in the devil's face with your last breath...
You'll run a race with life and death...
But will you live to see tomorrow?

Charro... (Charro)

Chesay
(Karger / Weisman / Wayne)

* What's in the drink, chase the devil away
  Magic I think so just say Chesay
  Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
  Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way

Trouble is my middle name, though it's such a cryin' shame
Try and try there's nothing I can do
But I'm feelin' kinda strange, feel like things are gonna change
Time my lucky star was shining through

Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way

Drink a cup of gypsy love just tip it up and then you just say Chesay
Swallow once then swallow twice, goes down so nice just say Chesay. Hey!

Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way
Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way

Cindy, Cindy 
(Kaye / Weisman / Fuller)

** Wish I was an apple dangling from a tree
    Every time you pass me by you'd take a bite of me
    I wish I was a bluebird I'd never fly away
    I'd sit up on your shoulder baby and sing to you all day

* Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy
  Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home with me

I wrote it in a letter, carved it on a tree
Told it to a honeycomb who told it to a bee
Told them that I love you, they all know it's true
I'll say it till the cows come home until it gets to you

* Repeat
Yeah ........... Yeah

Yeah I need you in the mornin' to start the coffee pot
I need you in the afternoon to fan me when it's hot
I need you in the evenin' when supper time is through
What I'm really tryin' to say is I gotta get enough of you

* Repeat

If I were a musician I'd harp on just one thing
You should never play my harp the way you pluck a string
If only you would love me sincerely tell me so
I'd beat the drums about it to let the whole world know

* Repeat
Come on home baby, huh, yeah, yeah

** Repeat

* Repeat

* Repeat
Come on home, come on home, come on home ........


City By Night
(Giant / Baum / Kaye)
(Registrata per il film "Double Trouble")

When shadows beckon on dim-lit avenues
Night people hear the call
From hidden alleys to secret rendezvous
They come out one and all

* The city by night I'm wide awake
  It never sleeps make no mistake

Whatever sets off the spark
A magic glow lights the dark
And I'm intrigued by the sight
Of the city by night

Those crowded nightclubs
Those picturesque cafes
Are scenes no-one forgets
And I'm enchanted as music softly plays
By dancing silhouettes

A city by night I'm wide awake
It never sleeps make no mistake

The evening's full of surprise
It's magic opens my eyes
And I'm intrigued by the sight
Of a city by night

Yeh!

Clean Up Your Own Backyard
(B. Strange - S. Davis)

Back porch preacher preachin' at me
Actin' like he wrote the Golden Rules
Shakin' his fist and speechin' at me
Shoutin' from his soap box like a fool
Come Sunday mornin' he's lyin' in bed
With his eyes all red from the wine in his head
Wishing he was dead when he oughta be 
Headin' for Sunday school

* Clean up your own backyard
  Ah don't you hand me none of your lines (Allelujah!)
  Clean up your own backyard
  You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
  (Clean it up Mister, clean it up Mister)

Drugstore cowboy criticisin'
Actin' like he's better than you and me
Standin' on the sidewalk supervisin'
Tellin' everybody how they ought to be
Come closing time 'most ev'ry night
He locks up tight and out go the lights
And he ducks out of sight and he cheats on his wife
With his employee

* Repeat

Armchair quarterback's always moanin'
Second guessin' people all day long
Pushin', pullin' and hanging on in
Always messin' where they don't belong
When you get right down to the nitty-gritty
Isn't it a pity that in this big city 
Not one little bitty man'll admit
He could a-been a little bit wrong

Clean up your own backyard
Ah don't you hand me, don't you hand me none of your line (Allelujah!)
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
(Clean it up Mister, clean it up Mister)
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine


Close To You
(Hal David / Nurt Bacharach)

Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls (boys) in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born

Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.


Come Along
(Hess)

Come along, come along, there's a full moon shinin' bright
Come along, come along, we're gonna hit St. Louis tonight
Spend your money lookin' at the chorus line
Spend your money, win it on the number 9
Take your sweetheart even though she's never been
If she's worried tell her that you always win
Come along, come along, there's a full moon shinin' bright
Come along, come along, you're gonna win a fortune tonight

Hear the whistle, lady luck's about to go
Is she smilin', maybe yes or maybe no
Now's the time when nights are filled with sweet romance
Don't be bashful step on up and take a chance
Come along, come along, there's a full moon shinin' bright
Come along, come along, we're gonna hit St. Louis tonight

Come along, come along, we're gonna win a fortune tonight


Come What May (You Are Mine)
(Franklyn Tableporter)

I am yours and you are mine, come what may
A love like ours remains divine, come what may
Even though we're miles apart
You're living in my lonely heart
At night the teardrops start and fall the long long day

* I keep your picture near me a-since you went away
  I plant a kiss upon your lips each night and day
  Bear in mind and you will find a heart that is true
  And I'll be here with you come what may

All right!

* Repeat
And I'll be here with you come what may
And I'll be here with you come what may
Ah um bop a bop a um bop a bop a come what may
Ah um bop a bop a um bop a bop a come what may
Ah um bop a bop a um bop a bop a come what may


Confidence
(Tepper / Bennett)

When everyone thought the world was flat
Columbus said "It's round"
He went down in history
And America was found

* 'Cos
  He had confidence
  A little thing called confidence
  There's no job too immense when you've got
  Confidence

** With a "C" and an "O" and an "N" and an "F"
   And an "I" and a "D" and an "ENCE"
   Put 'em all together and what have you got

Confidence

*** You'll be surprised what you can do
    If you will only try

Remember the tortoise and the hare
Who had that famous race
The speedy hare wound up nowhere
And slow poke took first place

* Repeat

*** Repeat

How do you know that you can't ride a rainbow in the sky

*** Repeat

All you need is confidence
A little thing called confidence
There's no job too immense when you've got
Confidence

** Repeat
Confi ..... Confi .... Confidence


Cotton Candy Land
(Ruth Batchelor, Bob Roberts)

Sandman's comin', yes he's comin'
To sprinkle you with sand
He'll say "one, two, three"
And you will be in cotton candy land

Sandman's comin', yes he's comin'
Will take you, by the hand
And you'll ride upon, a big white swan
In cotton candy land

You and the swan will float upon
A cloud of pink ice cream
Where every star is a candy bar
And the moon is a marshmallow dream

Sandman's comin', yes he's comin'
Take his magic hand
Now goodnight...now sleep tight
In cotton candy land

In cotton candy land...


Cotton Fields
(Huddie Ledbetter)

Cotton Fields!
When I was a little bitty baby
My momma would rock me in my cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texicana
In them old cotton fields back home

* Well when them cotton bowls get rotten
  You can't pick much very much cotton
  In them old cotton fields back home
  It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texicana
  In them old cotton fields back home

Dan.. dan etc.
Don .. don .. etc.
In them old cotton fields back home

* Repeat
Oh in them old cotton fields back home
In them old cotton fields back home

(Full lyrics)

Cotton Fields (The Cotton Song)
(Huddie Ledbetter)

(Lyrics contributed by Rien van Houten)

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama done rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

Let me tell you now well got me in a fix
I caught a nail in my tire doing lickitey splits
I had to walk a long long way to town
Came upon a nice old man well he had a hat on
Wait a minute mister can you give me some directions
I gonna want to be right off for home

Don't care if them cotton balls get rotten
When I got you baby, who needs cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
Brother only one thing more that's gonna warm you
A summer's day out in California
It's gonna be those cotton fields back home

It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
Give me them cotton fields
(It was back in Louisiana)
Let me hear it for the cotton fields
(Just about a mile from Texarkana)
You know that there's just no place like home

Well boy it sure feels good to breathe the air back home
You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I grown
In them old cotton fields back home



Could I Fall In Love
(Randy Starr)

Could I fall in love for the very first time?
That's what I ask myself when you're lips touch mine
Could I fall in love on a night like tonight?
That's what I'd like to know when I hold you tight

Now that we're alone (Now that we're alone)
Just a kiss apart (Just a kiss apart)
I have the answer from the feeling in my heart
Could I fall in love and forever be true
My heart tells me I could if I fell for you


Crawfish
(Weis / Weisman)

Crawfish (Crawfish)
Well I went to the bayou just last night
There wasn't no moon but the stars were bright
Put a big long hook on a big long pole
And I pulled Mr Crawfish outa his hole
Crawfish (Crawfish)

* See I got em, see the size
  Stripped and cleaned before your eyes
  Sweet meat, look, fresh and ready to cook
  Crawfish (Crawfish)

Now take Mr Crawfish in your han'
He's gonna look good in your frying pan
If you fry him crisp or you boil him right
He'll be sweeter than sugar with ev'ry bite
Crawfish (Crawfish)

Cross My Heart And Hope To Die
(Wayne / Weisman)

I can explain about last night
Though things didn't look just right
Please believe me there was nothin' wrong
I thought about you baby all night long
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie, mmm

Talk about a piece of rotten luck
You do a friend a favour and you wind up stuck
She couldn't hold a candle to you, no siree
Very hard to handle like a Model T
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie

Please believe me when I say
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
 From you 'cos I don't have to look too hard
To see what I got in my own back yard
So be forgiving and forget
Don't say my alibi's all wet
I'll miss those kisses from your honeycomb
This humble bumble bee just wants to fly back home
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie

I wouldn't tell you no lie
No no no no no no no
I wouldn't tell you no lie
I wouldn't tell you no lie .....


Crying In The Chapel
(Artie Glenn)

You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I'm happy with the Lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I've searched (I've searched) and I've searched (I've searched)
But I couldn't find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord (one accord)
Yes we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

You'll search (you'll search) and you'll search (you'll search)
But you'll never find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray (knees and pray)
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way
(And you'll surely find the way)


Crying Time 
(Tex Owens)

* Oh it's crying time again, you gonna leave me
   I can see that far away look in your eyes
   I can tell by the way you hold me darling
   That it won't be long before it's crying time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And the tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I lived to be a hundred years old

* Repeat

Now you say that you found someone you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door

* Repeat


Dainty Little Moonbeams
(Writer Unknown)

Girls in kimonos, shy little flowers
Smiling from beneath their parasols
Dainty little moonbeams, delicate as china
Gentle little oriental dolls


Danny
(Wise / Weisman)

(Danny is my name, oh yes)
My name should be Trouble
My name should be Woe
For trouble and heartache is all that I know
But Danny, yes Danny is my name (Oh yes, oh yes)

My life has been empty
My heart has been torn
It must have been raining, oh yes the night I was born
Oh Danny, oh Danny is my name. (Danny is my name oh yes)

I'm so afraid of tomorrow
So tired of today
They say that love is the answer
But love never came my way

I'm writing a letter to someone unknown
So if you should find it, oh yes, and if you're alone
Oh Danny, yes Danny, is my name (Oh yes)
Oh Danny, yes Danny, is my name
Ohohoho


Danny Boy
(Frederic E. Weatherly)

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

But if ye come and all the roses dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye'll come here and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me

And I shall feel, though soft you tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me
(Oh Danny boy I love) you so.


Dark Moon
(Ned Miller)

* Dark moon, away up high up in the sky
  Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why
  You've lost your splendour
  Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws
  Is it because, is it because I've lost my love

   But they don't realise, that love can sometimes bring a
