Lyrics:Eric Donaldson

Cherry oh, Cherry oh, baby,
Don't you know I'm in need of thee?
If you don't believe it's true,
What have you left me to do?
So long I've been waiting,
For you to come right in.
And now that we are together,
Please make my joy run over.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
Don't you know I'm in love with you?
If you don't believe I do,
Then why don't you try me?
I'm never gonna let you down,
Never make you wear no frown.
If you say you love me madly,
Then I will receive you gladly.

Chorus

Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
Don't you know I'm in love with you?

Never make you wear no frown.
If you say you love me madly,
Then why do you treat me badly.

Somewhere not by or near anyone.

You say you are going to leave me

And now you want to make me pain inside
Darlin' I Know you are going to make me cry

I can feel those thrill's walking over
When you hold me tight
Now I feel those pains aching over
When you say goodnight

Now there's nothing left for me to say girl
But stay in your world
You've got so much soul deep inside girl
And love that's richer than gold

With a pistol in your waist

Walking down the road
With a ratchet in your waist

You're just robbin' and stabbin'
And lootin' and shooting

When you hear a voice say come,
Where you gonna run to?

When you hear a voice say come,

For rescue, there'll be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock
For rescue, there'll be no rock


6.Red Red Wine

Lyrics:Neil Diamond/Ub40
Music:Neil Diamond

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so

Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go

I'd have thought
That with time
Thoughts of her
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearin' apart
My blue, blue heart

7.Guilty

Lyrics:Tiger
Music:Tiger

Well hello baby
Come sit down, make your self comfortable
Tell me somthing, how long have we known each other?
About ten months huh?
Say what's that on your finger? An engagement ring?
So you and John are getting engaged, huh?
You know he's a mighty lucky guy
Should be proud to have a woman like you
Listen, I've got something to tell you
Don't think I'm getting fresh or anything like that
But this things been bugging me for a long time you know
And its getting heavier each and every day
And I've just gotta get it off my chest
See I've never seen anyone like you
I've never known anyone like you
Let me take me back to my childhood a while
See we had a medium size family you know, we weren't rich
But my mother tried to bring us the best she could
Didn't commit no crime nor nothing
But I had to reach manhood to commit this crime
According to the code of love, if there is such a code
See love is a thing well, you know?
It's a bit like quicksand
The more you wriggle the deeper you sink
And when it hits you you've just got to fall
That's why I do believe that I am guilty
Guilty of loving you


8.She Caught The Train

Lyrics:J.Mansano
Music:J.Mansano

Another night of loneliness.
My love is gone
She made a fuss and she was wrong,
yet she is gone

I asked her friends if they'd seen her
They said she'd take the train
I ran to catch the train,
Oh my, the train is gone

Another night of loneliness.
My love is gone
She made a fuss and she was wrong,
yet she is gone

I ran to catch the train,
Oh my, the train is gone


9.Version Girl

Lyrics:Bob Friday
Music:Bob Friday

Chorus

Version Girl, what's your name?
Oh you come and you go,
Version Girl, what's your name?
Just like the morning sun.
It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for
me.

oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

Version girl, what's your name?
Don't you know I long to say.
Version Girl, what's your name?
It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me

oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

I sit in the sun waiting for you to come along
So my heart will be satisfied
So please let me be your number one
Under the moon, under the stars and under the sun.

Chorus

Version girl, whats's you name?
Oh you come ...... etc

Talking

Version girl, whats's you name?
Oh you come ....... etc

I sit in the sun waiting for you to come along
So my heart will be satisfied
So please let me be your number one
Under the moon, under the stars and under the sun.

10.Many Rivers To Cross

Lyrics:Jimmy Cliff
Music:Jimmy Cliff

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left and she didn't say why
Well I guess, I gotta try.
Many rivers to cross but where to begin,
I'm playing for time
There'll be times when I find myself thinking
Of committing some dreadful crime.

I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.
