1.That's How I Got To Memphis

Lyricist:Hall Tom. T
Writer(s):Hall Tom. T

If you love somebody enough, you'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis.
If you love somebody enough and you'll go where your heart wants
to go
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis.

I know if you'd seen her, you'd tell me cause you are my friend
I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in.

If you tell me that she isn't here, I'll follow the trail of her
tears
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis.
She would get mad and she used to say
She would come back to Memphis some day.
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis.

I've got to find her and tell her that I love her so.
I'll never rest till I find out why she had to go.

Well, thank you for your precious time, forgive me if I start to
cry
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis.
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis.

4.If I Were A Carpenter

Lyricist:Tim Hardin
Writer(s):Tim Hardin

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby ?
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made following behind me ?

Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow.

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me ?
Answer me, baby, yes, I would, I'd put you above me.
If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your coloured box and those soft shoes shining ?

Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow.

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby?

Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow.
Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow.
Give me your tomorrow.


5.I'm Sorry


6.Take Me Home Country Roads

Lyricist:Mary DanoffWilliam DanoffJohn Denver
Writer(s):Mary DanoffWilliam DanoffJohn Denver

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country Roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

All my mem'ries gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye

Country Roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home, faraway
And drivin' down the road, I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country Roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
Country Roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads.

9.Johnny B. Goode

Lyricist:Charles E. Berry
Writer(s):Charles E. Berry

Way down Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens...
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode...
He never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.

Go Go
Go Johnny Go
Go Go
Johny be good

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade,
Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made.
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play

Go Go
Go Johnny Go
Go Go
Johny be good

His mama told him someday he would be a man,
And he would be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear him play his music when the sun go down
Maybe someday his name would be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.


10.Pretty Woman

Lyricist:Ray RushJoe MelsonRoy Orbison
Writer(s):Ray RushJoe MelsonRoy Orbison

Pretty woman, walking down the street.
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet.
Pretty woman. I don't believe you, you're not the true.
No one could look as good as you... Mercy.

Pretty woman, won't you pardon me ?
Pretty woman, I couldn't help by see
Pretty woman, that you look lovely as can be.
Are you lonely just like me ?

Pretty woman, stop a while, pretty woman, talk a while.
Pretty woman, give your smile to me.
Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah, pretty woman, look my way.
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me.
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right.
Come with me baby, be mine tonight.

Pretty woman, don't walk on by, pretty woman, don't make me cry.
Pretty woman, don't walk away hey, okay.
If that's the way it must be, okay.
I guess I'll go on home, it's late, there'll be tomorrow night,
but wait !
What do I see ? Is she walking back to me ?
Yes, she's walking back to me ! Oh, pretty woman !


11.Heart Of Gold

Lyricist:Neil Young
Writer(s):Neil Young

I want to live, I want to give, I've been a miner for a heart of
gold.
It's these expressions, I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood.
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold.
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old.

Keep me searching for a heart of gold.
You keep me searching and I'm growing old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold.
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.


12.Bon Vivant

Lyricist:Jennifer KimballTom Kimmel
Writer(s):Jennifer KimballTom Kimmel

I remember how we started as one
And the moment you decided to run

Never wanted to hurt anyone
That much I know

Maybe it's another part of your plan
That you had to be with some other man
Maybe there is nothing to understand
Baby, I sure don't

Maybe we could live it over again
And you'd recover what you had in your hands
But I believe I won't
I believe it's come and gone

Bon Vivant
You let it slip away
Bon Vivant
There is nothing I could say

Love is gone in the melody faded
To that sweet song

Trop de nuits folles, et vides, et vaines
De cendre et d'alcool coulant dans tes veines
Tu ne seras jamais qu'une sirene
Dans mon histoire

Comment ai-je pu a ce point me meprendre
Qu'il m'ait fallu tout ce temps pour apprendre
A voir a travers, tes sentiments ephemeres

Bon Vivant, a trop vouloir rester
Bon Vivant, t'as tout laisse tomber
Notre histoire n'est plus qu'une chanson noire
Not a sweet song

Il n'y a ni passion, ni remords
Rien qui ne brule encore
Il ne reste rien du passe

Bon Vivant, a trop vouloir rester
Bon Vivant, t'as tout laisse tomber
Notre histoire n'est plus qu'une chanson noire
Not a sweet song

Notre histoire n'est plus qu'une chanson noire
Not a sweet song

(Merci a sonja pour cettes paroles)


13.That's How I Got To Memphis / Sur La Route De Memphis

Lyricist:Hall Tom. TClaude Moine
Writer(s):Hall Tom. T

If you love somebody enough, you'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis.
If you love somebody enough and you'll go where your heart wants
to go
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis.

I know if you'd seen her you'd tell me cause you are my friend.
I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in.

J'écoutais le disc-jockey dans la voiture qui m'entraînait
Sur la route de Memphis, sur la route de Memphis.
Et la radio me vantait un truc débile qui m'endormait
Sur la route de Memphis, sur la route de Memphis.

Je viens vers toi, tu m'attends dans ta robe blanche.
L'amour en province ressemble un peu à un dimanche.

J'écoutais le disc-jockey dans la voiture qui m'entraînait
Sur la route de Memphis, sur la route de Memphis.
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis.


14.If I Were A Carpenter / Si J'etais Un Charpentier

Lyricist:Tim Hardin
Writer(s):Tim Hardin

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby ?
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made following behind me ?

Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow.

Si j'étais un charpentier, si tu t'appelais Marie
Voudrais-tu alors m'épouser et porter notre enfant ?
Ma maison ne serait pas le palais d'un grand roi.
Je l'aurais construite pour toi, seul avec mes mains.

Prends l'amour que je te donne, tu dois être forte.
Quand notre fils sera un homme, il aura beaucoup à faire.

Si j'étais un charpentier, si tu t'appelais Marie
Voudrais-tu alors m'épouser et tout recommencer ?

Prends l'amour que je te donne, tu dois être forte.
Quand notre fils sera un homme, il aura beaucoup à faire.
Prends l'amour que je te donne, tu dois être forte.
Quand notre fils sera un homme, il aura beaucoup à faire.
Beaucoup à faire.

16.Sundown / L'Amour C'est Comme L'eta

Lyricist:Gordon LightfootClaude Lemesle
Writer(s):Gordon Lightfoot

I can see her lying back in her satin dress
In a room when you do what you don't confess.
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping round my backstairs.
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping round my backstairs.

She's been looking like a queen from a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means.
Sometimes, I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better, when I'm feeling no pain.
Sometimes, I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better, when I'm feeling no pain.

Le sommeil a du bon quand tu dors près de moi
Quand tu viens dans mes rêves, en sortant de mes bras.
L'amour, c'est comme un refrain.
Tu le chantes aujourd'hui, tu l'oublies demain.
L'amour, c'est un océan
Une marche aux étoiles où l'on se perd souvent.

Tu n'étais qu'une aiguille dans une botte de foin
Et j'ai su te trouver, moi qui ne trouvais rien.
L'amour, c'est comme un oiseau.
Ça voyage très loin, ça tombe de très haut.
L'amour, c'est comme le vent.
C'est tout chaud, c'est trop froid, ça tourne tout le temps.
L'amour, c'est comme l'été, il nous faut un automne pour le
regretter.
Sometimes, I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning, when I'm losing again.

L'amour, c'est comme l'été.
