3. GOD BLESS THE CHILD

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news

Your mama may have
Your papa may have
But god bless the child
Who's got his own

The strong get more
The weak ones fade
Empty pockets
Well, they don't ever make the grade

Mama may have
Papa may have
But god bless the child
Who's got his own
Who's got his own

When you've got money
You've got lots of friends
They're always hangin' around your door
But when the money's all gone
And the spending ends
They don't come around much anymore

Rich relations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But you better not take too much, no

Mama may have
Papa may have
But god bless the child
Who's got his own
Who's got his own

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news

Your mama may have
Your papa may have
But god bless the child
That's got his own
Them that's got his own
Them that's got his own


4. FILTHY MCNASTY

Who's that
Filthy mcnasty

Who's that
Filthy mcnasty

Filthy mcnasty

Who's that
Filthy mcnasty


5. BORN TO BE BLUE

Some folks were meant to live in clover
But they are such a chosen few, chosen few
And clover being green
Is something i've never seen
Cause i was born to be blue

When there's a yellow moon above me
They say there's moonbeams i should view, i should view
But moonbeams being gold
Are something i can't behold
Cause i was born to be blue

When i met you
The world was bright and sunny
When you left the curtain fell
I'd like to laugh
But nothing strikes me funny
Now my world's a faded pastel, oh well

I guess i'm luckier than some folks
Woo woo woo
I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you
And that alone is more than i was created for
Cause i was born to be blue

When i met you
The world was bright and sunny
When you left the curtain fell
I'd like to laugh
But nothing strikes me funny
Now my world's a faded pastel, oh well

I guess i'm luckier than some folks
I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you
And that alone is more than i was created for
Cause i was born to be blue
Woo woo


6. MARY ANN

Well, now oh mary ann
You know you sure look fine
Let me carry your books home, baby
Let me walk you down the line

I said oh mary ann
You sure do look fine
I said oh mary ann
I can love you all the time

Well, now oh mary ann
I can love you all the time
I can love you all the time

Oh, mary ann
Can i take you home tonight
Oh, baby
Can i take you home tonight
If you let me baby
If you let me baby
I'll make it all feel right
I'll make it all feel right

Oh, mary ann
Oh, mary ann
I'll make you feel alright
I'll make it all feel right

Well now, oh mary ann
I said baby don't you know
Well now, oh mary ann
I said baby don't you know
Oh, mary ann
Don't you know girl
Well now, baby don't you know
That i'd love you so
Oh, mary ann
Don't you know baby
That i'd love you so
That i'd love you so


7. JUST A LITTLE BIT

(Just a little)
(Just a little bit)
(Just a little)
(Just a little bit)

Babe, i don't want it all (just a little)
I just want a little bit

Just a little spoonful of your precious love satisfies my soul

8. WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE

When sunny gets blue
Her eyes get gray and cloudy
Then the rain begins to fall
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter
Love has gone so what can matter
No lover man comes to call

When sunny gets blue
She breathes a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the tree
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin'
Like some violins are playin'
Weird and haunting melody

People used to love to hear her laugh, to see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair
She's lost her smile, she's changed her style
Somehow she's not the same
But memories will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry new love, hurry here
And brush away each falling tear and hold her near
When sunny gets blue

People used to love to hear her laugh, to see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair
She's lost her smile, she's changed her style
Somehow she's not the same
But memories will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry new love, hurry here
And brush away each falling tear and hold her near
When sunny gets blue


9. WILLOW WEEP FOR ME

Oh, willow weep for me
Weeping willow tree
Bend your branches green
Along the stream
That runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen willow and weep for me

Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as i can be
Hear me willow and weep for me

Whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a breakin' and a makin' a moan
Murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing here and crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground
And cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow and weep for me

Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer's dream


10. RED TOP

Red top
My little red top
See how you got me spinning
Going 'round and 'round
And i don't wanna stop
You've got me so if i don't go 'round
I am sure gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop
So red top
You just go right on spinning
You go 'round and 'round
And don't you ever stop
Remember that if you don't go 'round
We are sure gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop

Red top
My little red top
See how you got me spinning
Going 'round and 'round
And i don't wanna stop
You've got me so if i don't go 'round
I am sure gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop
So red top
You just go right on spinning
You go 'round and 'round
And don't you ever stop
Remember that if you don't go 'round
We are sure gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop
