Bring It On Home [Sam Cooke]

  If you ever change your mind

About leavin', leavin' me behind

Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'

Bring it on home to me

I give her jewelry and money too

But that ain't all i would do for you

Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'

Bring it on home to me

You know i try, try to treat her right

But she stayed uot stayed out late at night (but i forgive her)

Bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'

Bring it on home to me

I give her jewelry and money too

But that ain't all i would do for you

Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'

Bring it on home to me

Cold Feet  [R.Cotrill]

  Hmm yes oh my, my, don’t have to be told

Keep your feets away from me, baby your feets is cold

Now i don’t know what is the rage , why do we grow old

All i know is bout your feet and baby your feets is cold

Well shukin and jivin all night long down at the bar with you

Take you home to bed with me but baby leave on your shoes

(spoken)

Now darlin you know i love you, but we got to do something about your pedal extremities

They’re extremely frigid, you’re redefining the word chilly dogs

Gonna sell the far and move to town get a job in a factory

Honey i don’t make near enough for you and me to eat

But in my mind i don’t have time to worry about my load

Cos your sweet lovin’s all i need but baby your feets is cold

House Of The Rising Sun  [Traditional]

There is a house in new orleans they call it the rising sun

And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy and lord i know i’m one

My mother was a tailor, she sewed my new blue jeans

My father is a gamblin’ man way down in new orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time he’ll be satisfied is when he’s on a drunk

Now mother’s tell your children not to do what i have done

To spend your life in sin and misery in the hose of the rising sun

Well i got one foot on the platform the other foot on the train

And i’m goin’ back to new orleans to wear that ball and chain

There is a house in new orleans they call it the rising sun

And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy and lord i know i’m one

Drift Away  [Williams, Mentor]

Day after day i’m more confused

Yet i look for the light through the pourin rain

You know that’s a game that i hate to lose

And i’m feelin the strain, ain’t it a shame

Oh give me the beat boys and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Oh give me the beat boys and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginnin to think that i’m wastin time

I don’t understand the things i do

The world outside looks so unkind

Now i’m countin on you to carry me through

And when my mind is free

You know a melody can move me

And when i’m feelin blue

A guitar’s comin through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you’ve givin me

I want you to know i believe in your song

Rhythm and rhyme and harmony

You’ve helped me along, makin me strong

Na, na, na, won’t cha take me… oh take me

Ghost Riders In The Sky  [Stanley Jones] 

An old cowboy went ridin’ out one dark and windy day

Up on a ridge he rested as he went on his way

When all at once a mighty herd, of red eyed cows he saw

Ploughing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire

 and their hooves were made of steel

Their horns were black and shinny

 and their hot breath he could feel

A bolt of fear went through him

As they thundered through the sky

For he saw the riders comin’

And he heard their mournful cry

Yippee-yi-yo,  yip, yipee-yi a

Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred

Their shirts all s0oaked with sweat

They were ridin hard to catch that herd

But they ain’t caught ‘em yet

Cos’ they got to ride forever

On that range up in they sky

Old horses snortin’ fire

As they ride on hear their cry

As the riders rode on by him

He heard one call his name

If you want to save your soul from hell

A ridin’ on our range

Then cowboy change your ways today

Or with us you will ride

Tryin to catch the devil’s herd

Across these endless skies

Till I Gain Control Again   [Rodney J. Crowell]

Just like the sun over the mountain top

You know i’ll always come again

You know i love to spend my morning time

Like sunlight dancing on your skin

I've never gone so wrong as to telling lies to you

What you've seen is what i've been

There is nothing i could hide from you

You see me better than i can

Out on the road that lies before me now

There are some turns where i will spin

I only hope that you can hold me now

Till i can gain control again

Like a lighthouse you must stand alone

Landmark the sailor's journeys end

No matter what sea i've have been sailing on

I'll always roll this way again

Out on the road that lies before me now

There are some turns where i will spin

I only hope that you can hold me now

Till i can gain control again
i only hope that you can hold me now
till i can gain control again

My Girl  [Robinson, William, Robin White]

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day

And when it's cold outside, i've got the month of may

Chorus:

I guess you say,

What can make me feel this way?

My girl...

Talkin' 'bout my girl

I've got so much honey oh the bees envy me

I've got a sweeter song (baby), than the birds in the trees

(chorus)

I don't need no money, fortune or fame

I've got all the riches, baby, one man can claim

(chorus) 2x

My Best Friend    [Words Ed Ireland Music Erick Traplin]

We all make friends, they come and go

Some we forget why we don’t know

When i found you, i wanted you for life

I asked you that question, will you be my wife

We were young when we met, we were only just teens

We felt so in love as we talked about dreams

We vowed to each other to love till the end

That day in june i married my best friend

Oohh, i marreid my best freind    

You make it easy for me to shine, you deserve more attention

It’s about time

You give me so much, our lives are like one

And i thank you,  for the gift of two sons

We were young when we met, we were only just teens

We felt so in love as we talked about dreams

We vowed to each other to love till the end

That day in june i married my best friend

Oohh, i marreid my best freind    

We’ve come so far, since way back then

You’re not just my wife, you’re my best friend

I’ve tried so hard, with this poem of mine

To expess my love and end in a rhyme

I just hope, your love will always be mine

For mine is all yours to end of my time

We were young when we met, we were only just teens

We felt so in love as we talked about dreams

We vowed to each other to love till the end

That day in june i married my best friend

Oohh, i marreid my best freind    

(we were young when we met, we were only just teens

We felt so in love as we talked about dreams)…  keep repeating

I married my best friend

I married my best friend

 i married my best friend  oohhh  you’re, you’re my best friend

Save The Last Dance For Me  [Doc Pomus, Mort Shuman]

You can dance… every dance with the guy who gave you the eye

Let him hold you tight

You can smile … every smile for the man who held your hand

‘neath the pale moonlight

But don’t forget who’s taking you home  and in whose arms you’re gonna be

So darling save the last dance for me

Oh, i know… that the music’s fine like sparkling wine

Go and have your fun

Laugh and sing… but while we’re apart, don’t give your heart

To anyone …. And

Baby don’t you know i love you so

Can’t you feel it when we touch

I will never, never let you go

I love you oh so much

You can dance… go and carry on till the night is gone

And it’s time to go

If he asks… if you’re all alone,  can he take you home

You must tell him know… cos

Reach Out  [Erick Traplin]

When the sun goes down, at the end of the day

And the stars come out so bright

I wonder if, there’s a world out there, where everything is right

Is there someone there, just like me, looking up in awe

And dreaming of the day…oh that they

Can reach out and touch the stars

If i could reach out, and touch the stars

I’d bring back the light

And spread it out, from sea to sea

Make everything all right

And i hunger for this vision, that dances in my heart

If i could only reach out, only reach out,

Reach out and touch the stars

There’s be no war, there’s be no sorrow

There’d be no hunger, no fear of tomorrow

The sick would be well, the hatred would heal

The love would be all, this world would feel

If i could reach out, if i could reach out

If i could reach out, and touch the stars

The sick would be well, the hatred would heal

The love would be all, this world would feel

If i could reach out, if i could reach out

If i could reach out, and touch the stars

Touch the stars

I’d bring back the light

I’d make everything alright

If i could reach out, and touch the stars

Touch the stars

Ooooooohhh 

Into The Mystic  [Van Morrison ]

We were born before the wind

also younger than the sun

everybody’s boat was one

as we sailed, into the mystic

hark, now hear the sailor's cry

smell the sea, and feel the sky

let your soul and spirit fly

into the mystic.



And when that foghorn blows,

you know I will be comin' home,

and when that foghorn blows,

I’ve  got to hear it, i don't have to fear it

  

I  wanna rock you gypsy soul

just like way back in the days of old

than magnificently we will float

into the mystic



when that foghorn blows, 

you know I will be comin' home

and when that foghorn whistle blows,

I’ve got to hear it, i don't have to fear it

                                                                          

and I wanna rock your gypsy soul

just like way back in the days of old

and together we will float

into the mystic
