DANNY BOY

(Fred Weatherly) « © '53 Boosey & Hawkes Music, ASCAP »
Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the leaves are falling
It's you it's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow
I'll be here in sunshine or in shadows
Oh Danny Boy oh Danny Boy I love you so
[ strings ] But when you come if all the leaves are falling
And if I'm dead and dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
Then kneel and say and awail over me

And I shall hear the soft you trade above me
And all my grave will warmer sweeter be
And you will call and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in piece till you come to me
Oh Danny Boy oh Danny Boy I love you so

GREENSLEEVES

(Traditional) « © '59 Hollis Music, BMI »
I walked one day neath the summer sky
And my heart was young and alone was I
She came along and I fancied
Heard the beatiful music of greensleeves

She held my hand happiness complete
And we kissed that night as we vowed to meet
The promises that she made were sweet
Just as sweet as the music of greensleeves

I walked one day neath the winter sky
And my heart was sad and alone was I
Can't believe that we said goodbye
And I cried to the music of greensleeves

Gone gone is the love we knew
And the beatiful music of greensleeves

ACROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI

(Ervin Drake - Jimmy Shirl) « © '55 Gentleman Jim Music, ASCAP / Lindabet Music, ASCAP »
My true love stands across the river far across the rolling river
On the banks I hear her calling
Away we're bound away across the wide Missouri

Oh Shennandoah I long to see you far across the rolling river
Shennandoah I'll not deceive you
Away we're bound away across the wide Missouri
[ horns - strings ] For seven years I've been a rover far across the rolling river
I'll return and be your lover
Away we're bound away across the wide Missouri

SOFT RAIN

(Ray Price) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Soft rain was falling when you said goodbye
Thunder and lightning filled my heart inside
A love born in heaven had suddenly died
And the soft rain was teardrops for the angels all cried

If love can be perfect ours must have been
But perfection is always destroyed by man
The rain whispered softly a true love just died
And the soft rain was teardrops for the angels all cried
[ strings ] The rain started falling when you said goodbye
And lightning came crashing from out of the sky
The sky that was bright blue turned slowly to grey
And the angels cried with me as you walked away

If love can be perfect...

PRETEND

(Lew Douglas - Cliff Parman - Frank LaVere - Dan Belloc) « © '56 Music Sales, ASCAP »
Pretend you're happy when you're blue it isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream and nothing's bad as it may seem
A little things you haven't got could be a lot if you'd pretend

You'll find a love you can share one you can call all your own
Just close your eyes she'll be there you'll never be alone
And if you'll sing this melody you'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine it can be yours my friend so why don't you pretend

(You'll find a love you can share one you can call all your own)
Just close your eyes she'll be there...

SPANISH EYES

(Charles Singleton - Eddie Snyder - Bert Kaempfert) « © '58 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Blue Spanish eyes teardrops are falling from your Spanis eyes
Please please don't cry this is just adios and not goodbye

Soon I'll return bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say si si say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
[ string ] Blue Spanish eyes prettiest eyes in all of Mexico
Two Spanish eyes please smile for me once more before I go

Soon I'll return...
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me

WHAT'S COME OVER MY BABY

(Dottie West - Bill West) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Oh what's come over my baby she's not the same as before
What's come over my baby my baby don't need me anymore

Can it be that her old love is back again
Or has she found someone new
Can it be that she's just grown so tired of me
I wonder what our love's gonna do

What's come over my baby she's not the same as before
What's come over my darling my darling don't need me anymore
[ ac.guitar ] Can it be that her old love is back again
Or has she found someone new
Can it be that she's just grown so tired of me
I wonder what our love's come into

What's come over my baby she's not the same as before
What's come over my darling my darling don't need me anymore

CRAZY

(Willie Nelson) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Crazy crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry why do I let myself worry
Wond'ring what in the world did I do to you
Crazy for thinking my love could hold you
Crazy for trying crazy for crying and I'm crazy for loving you
[ strings ] Crazy for trying crazy for crying and I'm crazy for loving you

BORN TO LOSE

(Frankie Brown) « © '43 Peer International, BMI »
(Born to lose and now I'm losing you)

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
How I long to always have you there
You've grown tired and now you say you're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
(Born to lose) and now I'm losing you

VAYA CON DIOS (MAY GOD BE WITH YOU)

(Larry Russell - Buddy Pepper - Inez James) « © '53 Beachaven Music, ASCAP / Jarest Music, ASCAP »
(Vaya con dios my darling)

Now the hacienda's dark the town is sleeping
Now the time has come to part the time for weeping
Vaya con dios my darling may vaya con dios my love

Now the village mission bells are softly ringing
If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing
Vaya con dios my darling may God be with you my love

Wherever you may be I'll be beside you
Although you're many million dreams away
Each night I'll say a prayer a prayer to guide you
To help you spend the lonely hours of every lonely day

Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow
But the memories we share are there to borrow
Vaya con dios my darling may God be with you my love
(Vaya con dios my darling) may God be with you my love
