1.You Send Me

Darling you send me
I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do

Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh

I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever you kiss me
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home

I know, I know, I know, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, you you you you send me
Honest you do


2.The Lonesome Road

look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look up, look up
and see you maker
for Gabriel blows his horn

I get weary toting such a load
traveling down that lonesome road
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on

look up, look up
and see you maker
for Gabriel blows his horn

I get weary toting such a load
traveling down that lonesome road
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on


3.Tammy

I hear the cottonwoods whispering above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Does my darling feel what I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
you'd think that he could hear!
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!

Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy! Tammy! Can't let him go!
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low
Tammy! Tammy! You love him so!
When the night is warm, soft and warm
I long for his charms!
I'd sing like a violin
if I were in his arms
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love!


4.Ol' Man River

Rolling along, rolling along, rolling along
Hm, old man river, that old man river
He don't say nothing, but he must know something
For old man river, he just keeps rolling along
He don't plant taters, he don't pick cotton
And them that plants em they're soon forgotten
While old man river, he jest keeps rolling along

You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all aching and racked with pain
Towed that bargem lift the bail
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
In get weary and sick of trying
I'm tired of living and afraid of dying
While old man river he just keeps rolling along


5.Moonlight In Vermont

Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont

Gentle finger waves
Ski trails down a mountain side
Snowlight in Vermont

Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway
As they travel each bend in the road
And when people meet, in this romantic setting
They're so hypnotized be the lovely...

Evening summer breeze
Sweet warblings of the meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont


6.Canadian Sunset

Once I was alone
So so lonely and then
You came out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills
Cold, cold was the wind
Warm, so warm, warm were your lips
Out there on that ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills

A weekend in Canada
A change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you
And in your eyes
I found a love I couldn't ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast fast fast beat my heart
I knew, when the sunset
From that day we'd never part

A weekend in Canada
A change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you
And in your eyes
I found a love that I couldn't ignore

Down, down came the sun
Fast fast so fast fast beat my heart
I knew, when the suns et
From that day we'd never part
we'd never part, we'd never part


7.Summertime

(don't cry, don't cry, don't cry no no no no
Don't cry, don't cry)

It's summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good-looking
Hush, little baby don't you cry
don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
no no no no
don't cry, don't cry

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
you spread your wings and take to the sky
But until that morning there is nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mommy standing by
They are stnading by, I know, don't cry

Summertime, summertime, summertime
and the living is, living is easy
Fish are, I know the fish are jumping
and cotton is so high
You'r daddy is so, so rich and your mama good-
she had to be good-looking
so hush, little baby, don't you cry
don't you cry, no no, don't cry
no need to cry, don't cry, don't cry
summertime, summertime....


8.Around The World

Around the world I searched for you
I travelled on but hope was gone
to keep a rendez-vous

I knew sometime, some place, some how
you'd look at me, and I would see the smile
you're smiling now

it might have been in ...
or in New York, or in Paris, or even London town
no longer will I go all around the world
for I've found my world in you

(with background vocals)
Around the world I searched for you
I travelled on but hope was gone
to keep a rendez-vous

I knew somewhere, some time, some how
you'd look at me, and I would see the smile
you're smiling now

it might have been in ...
or in New York, or in Paris, or even London town
no longer will I go all around the world
for I've found my world in you
I've found my world, found my world in you


9.Ain't Misbehavin'

No one to walk with, all by myself,
No one to talk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't Misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you

I know for certain the one I love
I'm thru with flirtin', it's just you I'm thinkin' of,
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', I'm savin' my love for you

I'm Like Jack Horner in the corner,
I don't go nowhere, what do I care,
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me

I don't stay out late, no place to go
I'm home a-bout eight, just me and my radio
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', savin' all of my love for you

No one to walk with, all by myself,
No one to talk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't Misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you

I know for certain the one I love
I'm thru with flirtin', it's just you I'm thinkin' of,
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', I'm savin' my love for you

I'm Like Jack Horner in the corner,
I don't go nowhere, what do I care,
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me

I don't stay out late, that's not for me
I'm home about eight, just quit looking at my tv
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', savin' all of my love for you


10.The Bells Of St. Mary's

The bells of St. Mary's
I hear they are calling
the young loves, the true loves
who come from the sea

And so my beloved
when red leaves are falling
the love bells are shell
ring out, ring out
for you and me

the bells of st mary's
I hear they are calling
the young loves, the true loves
who come from the sea

And so my beloved
when red leeves are falling
the love bells shell
ring out, ring out
for you and me


11.So Long

so long, so long
jee, I hate to see you go
you mean the world to me you know
you've been mine so long

so long, so long
hope we meet again some day
if we do I hope you'll say
darling, my mind was wrong

all alone with my memories of you
I hope you are lonely too
you're my own
even though we're oh so far apart
I shall keep you here in my heart

so long, though you leave me and I cry?
this will never be goodbye
you've been mine so long

all alone with my memories of you
I hope you are lonely too
you're my own
even though we're oh so far apart
I shall keep you here in my heart

so long, though you leave me in a pry?
this will never be goodbye
you've been mine so long


12.Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis you must go, 'tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

But if you come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I may well be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an 'Ave' there for me

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave shall warm and sweeter be
If you will bend and tell me that you love me
Then I will sleep in peace until you come to me


13.That Lucky Old Sun

Up in the morning
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do but roll around
heaven all day

I have to fuss with my woman
Toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and raid
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do but roll around
heaven all day

The Lord above don't you know I'm crying
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with the silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do
Than roll around heaven all day

The Lord above don't you know I'm crying
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with the silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do
Than roll around heaven all day
