Les paroles


1. Snowbird
(Gene MacLellan)

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

The breeze along the river seems to say
That she'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow



2. Tomorrow Never Comes
(Ernest Tubb - Johnny Bond)

Oh you tell me that you love me
Yes you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married, oh
But tomorrow's never there

Oh tomorrow never, never comes
No no, no tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me, oh
But tomorrow never comes

Many weeks now have I waited
Oh many many long nights have I cried
Oh just to see that happy morning, happy morning
When I have you right by my side

But tomorrow will never never come, no no, no
Tomorrow never gonna come
Now you tell me that you love me, oh
But tomorrow will never, never come

So tomorrow I'll be leaving
Yes tomorrow I'll be gone
But tomorrow you'll be weeping, oh
But tomorrow will never, never come (never come) Yoh!

Oh tomorrow ain't never, never come (never come)
No no, no tomorrow ain't never gonna come
Yeah, yeah, you tell me, you tell me
That you love me, but tomorrow never comes



3. Little Cabin On The Hill
(Bill Monroe - Lester Flatt)

Tonight I'm alone without you my dear
It seems there's a longing for you still
Ah but I'll just keep it there so I won't be alone
In our little cabin home on the hill

Oh someone has taken you from me
And left me here all alone
Well to listen to the rain beat on our window pane
In our little cabin home on the hill

Play it .. Hoh!

Oh someone has taken you from me
And left me here all alone
To listen to the rain beat on our window pane
In our little cabin home on the hill

5. Funny How Time Slips Away
(Willy Nelson)

Well hello there, my it's been a long long time
"How'm I doin'?", oh well I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away

How's your new love, I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you'd love him till the end of time
For you know that's the same thing that you told me
Well it seems like just the other day
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away
Yeah, baby yeah

Gotta go now, guess I'll see you hangin' round
Don't know when though, oh no
Never know when I'll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time you're gonna pay

Yeah ain't it surprising how time slips away
Yeah, ain't it surprising how time slips away



6. I Really Don't Want To Know
(Howard Barnes - Don Robertson)

Oh how many arms have held you
And hated to let you go?
How many, oh how many, I wonder?
But I really don't want, I don't wanna know

Oh how many lips have kissed you
And set, set your soul aglow? Yes they did
How many, oh how many, I wonder? yes I do
But I really don't want to know

So always make, make me wonder
And always make, make me guess
And even, you know even if I ask you
Oh darling oh don't you, don't confess

Just let it, let it remain your secret
Oh for darling, darling I love you so, yes I do
No wonder, yeah no wonder, I wonder
Mmm, 'cause I really don't want, I don't wanna know



7. There Goes My Everything
(Dallas Frazier)

There goes my only possession
Oh, there goes my everything

I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across the lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
"Darling this will be goodbye for evermore"

There goes my reason for living
Oh there goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
Oh there goes my ev'rything

As my mem'ry turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we've had before
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of the door

There goes my reason for living
Oh there goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
Oh there goes my ev'rything
There goes my only possession, Oh there goes my ev'rything



8. It's Your Baby, You Rock It
(Shiri Milete - Nora Fowler)

You offered me a penny for my thoughts
And I told you then that woman won't stay caught
But you turned around and you loved her anyway
She broke your heart and all I got to say

It's your baby (It's your baby), you rock it
It's your heartache (It's your heartache), you bought it
You made that bed you're sleepin' in
And I'm tired of hearin' 'bout it friend
It's your baby (It's your baby), you rock it

Quit cryin' on my shoulder like a baby
I'm sorry 'bout your troubles and your lady
But she done you like she done me
And I've used up all my sympathy
It's your baby, you rock it, hmm

It's your baby (It's your baby), you rock it
It's your heartache (It's your heartache), you bought it
You made that bed you're sleepin' in
And I'm tired of hearin' 'bout it friend
It's your baby (It's your baby), you rock it
It's your baby, you rock it
If you don't like it you ..........



9. The Fool
(Naomi Ford)

Gatheraround me buddy, raise your glasses high
And drink to a fool, a crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye

Too late he found he loved her so much he wants to die
So drink to a fool, mm, a crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye

He needs her, he needs her so
He wonders ... why he let her go
She's found, she's found, she's found
A new lover buddy, he's a lucky guy, oh
So drink to a fool, a crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye

Who told his baby goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye



10. Faded Love
(Bob Willis - John Willis)

As Iook at the letters, oh that you wrote to me
Well it's you, it's you I'm thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet
I remember our faded love

I miss you darlin' more and more ev'ry day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With ev'ry heartbeat, I still think of you
And remember our faded love

Alright ..... yeah

As I think of the past, all the pleasures that we had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime, oh that you said goodbye
I remember, remember our faded love

Yeah and I miss, miss you darlin' more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat, I still think, think of you
And remember our faded love
One more time
Take it on now

I miss you darlin' more and more ev'ry day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With ev'ry heartbeat, I still think of you
And remember our faded love
I remember our faded love
I remember our faded love



11. I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water
(Joe Babcock)

I was born in Macon Georgia
They kept my daddy over in Macon jail
He told me if you keep your hands clean
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail

Well I fell in with bad companions
Robbed a man, oh up in Tennessee
They caught me way up in Nashville
They locked me up and threw away the key
What'd you do son

I washed my hands in muddy water
Washed my hands, oh but they didn't come clean
Tried to do what my daddy told me
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

Well I asked the judge now when's my time up
He said son, oh you know we won't forget
If you try just to keep your hands clean
We might just make a good man of you yet

Oh I couldn't wait to get my time up
I broke out, broke out of Nashville jail
I just crossed the state-line of Georgia
Well I can hear them bloodhounds on my trail
What'd you do son

I washed my hands in muddy water
Washed my hands, oh but they didn't come clean
Tried to do, (tried to do) like my daddy told me
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

Yeh
I washed my hands in muddy water
Washed my hands, oh but they didn't come clean
Tried to do, (tried to do) like my daddy told me



12. Make The World Go Away
(Hank Cochran)

Make the world go away
Get it off, get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away

Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took you away, yes it did
Well if you do, then forgive me
And make the world, make it go away

Yeh! Make the world go away
Yeh! Get it off, get it off, get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world go away

Now I'm sorry if I hurt you
Let me make it up to you day by day
And if you will, please forgive me
And make the world, make it go away

Oh! Make the world go away
Yeh! Get it off, get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away

Yeh! Make the world go away
Get it off, get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away
