- Hair
- Exactly Like You
Letra
I know why I waited Know why I've been blue I've been waiting each day For someone exactly like you Why should I spend some money On a show or two When nobody sings these love songs Exactly like you You make me feel so grand I wanna give this world to you You make me understand These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming And schemes I'm scheming Now I know why my mama She taught me to be true She knew just around the corner Was somebody like you You make me feel so grand I wanna give this world to you Baby you make me understand These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming And schemes I'm scheming Now I know why my mama She taught me to be true She knew just around the corner Yes she knew just around the corner Was somebody like you - Other Woman
- Under The Lowest
- You Can Have Him
Letra
I don't want him you can have him He's not worth fighting for Besides there's plenty more where he came from I don't want him you can have him I'm giving him the sack And he can go right back where he came from I'm afraid I never loved him Sweetie he'd be better off with you I could never make him happy All I ever wanted to do was Run my fingers through his curly locks Mend his underwear and darn his socks Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes Wipe his glasses when he's read the news Rub his forehead with a gentle touch Mornings after when he's had a little too much Kiss him gently when he cuddles near And give him babies one for every year So you see that I don't want him you can have him You can have him cos I don't want him Because he's not the man for me Then I'd close the window while he soundly slept Then I'd raid the icebox where the food is kept I'd fix the breakfast that would please him most Eggs and coffee some apricot juice and some buttered toast Oh oh then I'd go out and buy the papers And when they've been read spend the balance of the day in bed So you see that I don't want him you can have him You can have him cos I don't want him because he's not my man I don't want him you can have him You can have him I don't want him You can have him I don't want him Cos he's not the man for me - Summertime *Instrumental*

- Cotton Eyed Joe
Letra
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? He came to town like a midwinter storm He rode through the fields so handsome and strong His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun But all he had come for was having some fun If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? He brought disaster wherever he went The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent They all ran away so nobody would know And left only men cause of Cotton-Eye Joe If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? - Return Home
- Wild Is The Wind
Letra
Love me, love me, love me, say you do Let me fly away with you For my love is like the wind And wild is the wind Give me more than one caress Satisfy this hungriness Let the wind blow through your heart For wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins You're spring to me All things to me Don't you know you're life itself Like a leaf clings to a tree Oh my darling, cling to me For we're creatures of the wind And wild is the wind So wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins Dady, you're spring to me All things to me Don't you know you're life itself Like a leaf clings to a tree Oh my darling, cling to me For we're creatures of the wind And wild is the wind So wild is the wind Wild is the wind Wild is the wind Wild is the wind - Fine And Mellow
Letra
My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean He's the meanest man that I've ever see My baby wears high peg pants stripes are really yellow Baby wears high peg pants stripes area really yellow When he starts into love me he's so fine and mellow Love will make you drink and gamble make you stay out all night long Love will make you drink and gamble make you stay out all night long Love will make you do things that you know is wrong Do right baby if you stay home every day I'll do right baby if you stay home every day You're so mean and evil I know you're gonna drive me away Why did he leave me why did he have to go Why did he leave me why did he have to go Went off and left me baby I loved him so I'll be a good wife to you if it means anything to you I'll stay home every night and I'll love you And kiss you every night and one of these days If you're good to me honey one of these day If God is good to me I'll bring you a little burny Come back to me baby try me one more time Cos without your loving I swear I'm gonna lose my mind
