Jack-a-roe

There was a wealthy merchant, in london he did dwell
He had a beautiful daughter, the truth to you well tell
Oh the truth to you well tell
She had sweethearts a plenty, and men of high degree
But none but jack the sailor, her true love ever be
Oh her true love ever be
Jackies gone a sailing, with trouble on his mind
Hes left his native country and his darling girl behind
Oh his darling girl behind
She went down to a tailor shop and dressed in mans array
She climbed on board a vessel to convey herself away
Oh convey herself away
Before you get on board sir, your name wed like to know
She smiled on her countenance, they called me jack-a-roe
Oh they called me jack-a-roe
I see your waist is slender, your fingers they are small
Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball
Oh to face the cannonball
I know my waists to slender, my fingers they are small
But it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall
Oh to see ten thousand fall
The war soon being over she went and looked around
Among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found
Oh her darling boy she found
She picked him up on in her arms and carried him to the town
She sent for a physician to quickly heal his wounds
Oh to quickly heal his wounds
This couple they got married so well they did agree
This couple they got married so why not you and me?
Oh why not you and me?
Oh why not you and me?

Oh, there was a wealthy merchant, in london he did dwell.

There was none but jackie frazier, her true love eer to be,

Oh, so why not you and me.

I Am Just A Girl

I am just a girl, one among the others, nothing much to say
Plain and simple girl, not a special type in any way
Just one look, and you will surely see
That the truth is nobody is me
Its an evil world that has only made me a girl
I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to meet
Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street
But today, I cant believe its true
When you smiled and whispered I love you
Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl
Its a funny feeling when you get to love someone
And thinking that hell never look your way
But then he says he loves you, and life has just begun
Its so much more than any words can say
I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to meet
Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street
But today, I cant believe its true
When you smiled and whispered I love you
Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl
La la la la la, la la la la la-la, la la la la laaa
La la la la la, la la la la la-la, la la laaa
But today, I cant believe its true
When you smiled and whispered I love you
Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

Love Is Here & You Are Gone

Written & composed: brian holland, lamont dozier and eddie holland
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
You persuaded me to love you
And I did
But instead of tendeness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell
So unaware of the lonelyness
Thar was waiting there
Spoken :
You closed the door to your heart, girl
And you turned the key
Locked your love away from me
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
You made me love you
And oh my darling, now youre gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love came
Into my heart
You turned and you walked
Just walked away
Spoken :
You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then you took my hope
Look at me now
Look at me
See what loving has done to me
Look at my face
See how cryin has left its trace
After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I couldnt keep
Spoken :
My heart cries out for your tuch
But baby, youre not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
You made me love you
Oh oh my darling, now youre gone
Talking bout love, love, love, love,
Ooh ooh my darling, now youre gone

She's Got The Jack

She gave me the Queen
She gave me the King
She was wheelin' and dealin'
Just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair
But I had to try
Her Deuce was wild
But my Ace was high
But how was I to know
That she'd been dealt with before
Said she'd never had a Full House
But I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down
If she played it right
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
Poker face was her name
Poker face was her nature
Poker straight was her game
If she knew she could get you
She played 'em fast
And she played 'em hard
She could close her eyes
And feel every card
But how was I to know
That she'd been shuffled before
Said she'd never had a Royal Flush
But I should have known
That all the cards were comin'
From the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealin' out
I'd have dealt it back
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, and who knows what else?
She's got the jack, yeah, yeah
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack,
Ooh, It was a bad deal, (Jack)
She gave me the (Jack), hey
She's got the (Jack), she's got the (Jack)
She's got the (Jack), ooh can't you tell
She's got the (Jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack)
(She's got the jack, she's got the Jack)
She's got the jack, she's got the Jack
She's got the jack, you never know!
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, and it hurts!
(She's got the jack)
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
Aaaaaah!
Oooooh!
Thank you, thank you, thank you people, thank you, thank you
I'm glad you like the show, yes, thank you very much folks.
Goodnight and God bless

House Carpenter

Well met, well met, said an old true love
Well met, well met, said he
I just returned from the salt, salt sea
And its all for the love of thee
Come in, come in, my own true love
And have a seat by me
Its been three-fourths of a long, long year
Since together we have been
I cant come in and I cant sit down
For Ive only a moments time
They say youre married to a house carpenter
And your heart will never be mine
I couldve married the kings daughter fair
And she wouldve married me
But I have forsaken, her crowns of gold
And all for the love of thee
Now will you forsake your house carpenter
And come along with me
Ill take you where, the grass grows green
On the banks of the deep blue sea
Then she picked up her darling little babe
And kisses she gave it three
Saying stay right here you darling little babe
And keep your pop company
They had not been on the ship two weeks
Im sure it was not three
Til this true love began to weep and to mourn
And she wept most bitterly
Saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold?
Saying are you weeeping for my store?
Or are you weeping, for your house carpenter
Whose face youll never see no more?
I am not weeping for your silver and your gold
I am not weeping for your store
No I am weeping, for my darling little babe
Whose face ill never see no more
They had not been on the ship three weeks
Im sure it was not four
When there came a leak, in the bottom of the ship
And sank them for to rise no more

Anyone could fall in love with you
Anyone who knows you as i do
Anyone could fall in love with you
And i love you my darling
Anyone could lose his heart like me
Anyone who has eyes that can see
Anyone could fall in love like me
And i love you my darling
You're the star i reached for

Can't Get Enough Of Your Love

My darling I, I can't get enough of your love, babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love, babe
Oh, some things I can't get used to
No matter how I try, I try yeah
It's like the more you give, the more I want, say baby
And baby, that's no lie, oh no way
So tell me, what can I say?
What am I gonna do?
How should I feel when everything is you?
What kind of love is this that you're giving me?
Is it in your kiss or just because you're sweet?
Girl, all I know is every time you're here
I feel the change, I feel something move
I scream your name, look what you got me doing
Oh darling I, darling I can't get enough of your love, babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love, babe
Oh, never get enough
Girl, if only I could make you see
And make you understand, and I make ya, and I make
Girl, your love for me is all I need
Is more than I can stand
Ah well, well babe
How can I explain all the things I feel?
You've given me so much, girl, you're so unreal
But still I keep loving you more and more each time
Girl, what am I gonna do because you blow my mind
I get the same old feeling every time you're near
I feel the change, I feel something move
I scream your name, look what you got me doing
Darling I, I can't get enough of your love, babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know, know why
I can't get enough of your love, babe
Darling I, darling I, I can't get enough of your love, babe
Oh no, oh no
Girl, I don't know, I don't know, know why
I can't get enough of your love, babe
Oh darling I, I can't get enough of your love, babe
Girl, I don't know, don't know why
I can't get enough of your love, baby, baby....
Darling I, I can't get enough of your love, babe

Are We In Trouble Now

(mark knopfler)
It wasnt just the music
It wasnt just the wine
Some other kind of magic
Sending shivers up my spine
And I was falling
And I fell for you and how
Darling, are we in trouble now?
They say were grown up
Weve been searching all this time
And I wouldnt own up
Never would admit to flying blind
But in the darkness
We found each other anyhow
Darling, are we in trouble now?
When we talk it over
Our love was a cry from a distant shore
Then we found each other
And all that wed been searching for
And Im done denying
Yeah, I guess by now you know
Im through with trying
Cant bring myself to let you go
And all these feelings
Said we never would allow
Darling, are we in trouble now?
Darling are we in trouble now?

Fall

Pretending that the way's through the door
I want to see you falling
A thousand reasons why I'd loose my hair
I'm not your darling darling
I want to see you falling

You tell me that your backs to the wall
I want to see you falling
The savour comes and a thief takes a walk

Take a walk

The feedback is on the ball
Your feedback don't taste good at all

You help yourself but its at my expense
I want to see you falling
I don't touch my furlong for no one
I'm not your darling darling
I want to see you fall

To count this and they pledge here they go
I'm not your darling darling
A thousand reasons they won't cut his hair
We're not your darlings darlings
The saviour came and a thief took a walk

Middle Man

I was sitting in a diner
With a girl named flo
She wouldnt say yes
But she couldnt say no
She said darling, can I get a middle man?
She was engaged to a fellow
On the lay a way plan
But she carried all her money
In a coffee can
She said darling, can I get a middle man?
The cook looked over
With a short order face
Dropped a fork
And he saw flos legs
Straightened his apron
And burnt my eggs
I got competition
Everywhere I go
These days
She was leaning on the juke box
And was lookin real good
Like natalie wood
On a pontiac hood
I said darling, I think I need a little hand
Ya see, Ive seen my downs
Ive seen my ups
I seen miniature dogs
In coffee cups
But darling I aint never seen a middle man
Flo talked slow
Like real wet paint
She said
A middle mans there
When the other ones aint
Hes got a left handed manner
That leans to the right
Sleeps all day
And keeps it up all night ...
... I got an aunt in ohio
And a boat that wont row
Some veterans insurance
And nowhere to go
Darling, can I be your middle man?
(spoken)
If I could get the money in that coffee can
I could open me up a lemonade stand
Send all the kids off to pakistan
Make flo happy
If I can
Jerry mahoney and johnny b. goode
Are gonna buy me a house in hollywood
Darling I think I got the perfect plan
Were gonna save half a dollars
And sell em to france
Buy us a record
And learn how to dance
And darling Ill always be your middle
Darling go buy a griddle
Darling I wanna be your middle man

Jack The Sailor

Jack I met dancing,
he was a great lead,
He also taught me how to Salsa
he wanted to make me succeed.
he had a Jack Russell who was really sweet.
Now Jack was a sailor on the lakes,
the lakes in MN make no mistake.
Now I hadn’t seen Jack for sometime,
He called out “Melodie” and I knew
he was an old friend of mine.
He had a dance party at his apartment in Minneapolis,
friends where dressed up looking fabulous.
Now Jack wants to sail around the world,
I hope he does and meets his dream girl.

Go ahead and tell me that you never really loved me, baby
Go ahead and tell me that the things I do have always made you crazy
Dont worry, darling
Dont worry, darling, thats okay
cause Im gonna love you anyway

Go ahead and let it fall to pieces, tell me Ive been blind
Maybe if Id only seen it coming Id have found a way to change your mind
Dont worry, darling
Dont worry, darling, thats okay
cause Im gonna love you anyway

In spite of it all
Drop everything, baby, run when you call
Youre gonna stumble
Youre gonna fall
And Ill be there
Ill be there for you
Go ahead and tell me that youre sorry no one else could take my place
I know thats what youre thinking I can see it by the way its written on your face

Dont worry, darling, thats okay
cause Im gonna love you anyway
Im gonna love you anyway

You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything

(rod stewart, ron wood, kenny jones, tetsu yamauchi, ian mclagan)
Hey baby, I wanna say somethin to ya, listen
Sometimes when I get out of my head
And I say all the wrong things
Sometimes I know I stay out late at night
And I get back fighting, hey babe
Somehow all my plans
Keep slippin through my hands
And I end up crying, but listen
I can be a millionaire
Honey when youre standing there
Youre so exciting
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, and I love it
Sometimes I wanna get up so early
And get away from here girl
Summers gone, and before long
North winds blow, that bring the snow
Ill keep us warm girl
My schemes it seems, are merely dreams
Fading with each morning, hey babe
But this old heart of mine
Is far too proud not to keep on tryin
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, yeah baby
Ah yeah
So little bird dont fly away
Want you here every day
Dont ever leave me
Id rather lose both my eyes
Than never see your smiling face again girl
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing
Hey babe
Keep on loving me babe, yeah
Keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving, ooh babe
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling, darling, darling, darling

Oh, My Darling Daughter MaKayla

Oh, My Darling Daughter, MaKayla,
My God, how I have missed you.
I thought of you every second of every day,
Always wondering just what it was that you were up to.

You had thought that I had forgotten,
But, Baby Girl, I cannot ever forget.
None of the Hell that we all went through,
Nor any of the things that I may now regret.

Oh, My Darling Daughter, MaKayla,
I love you, so very much.
It practically killed of these past years,
How you and I some how lost touch.

Oh, My Darling Daughter, MaKayla,
I am so proud of you, and whom you have become.
You are Intelligent and Beautiful,
And to me, you are simply Number 1.

Oh, my darling daughter, MaKayla,
I am here, if and when ever you may need me.
I will remain where I have always been,
All these years.

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

The first time we met you were a kennel maid,
You gave me a tip I got me forecast paid,
You were holding a greyhound in trap number one,
Your white coat was shining in the afternoon sun.
Now we're both together,
We're never gonna break apart, no no,
'Cause we're a happy couple you and me,
With a greyhound at either knee.
I'll have ten shillings to win on Camera Flash, young man,
What dog's that, it's a deuce, look at it.
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
'Ceptin' you, little darling,
'Ceptin' you, little darling,
We're a happy couple you and me,
With a greyhound at either knee.
We go to the dog track on Saturday night,
We put all our money on a dog that we like,
A kiss and a cuddle, a hot meat pie,
Two dollar tickets and a starry sky.
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
'Ceptin' you, little darling,
'Ceptin' you, little darling,
We're a happy couple you and me,
With a baby on either knee.
Yes it's you little darling,
Yes it's you little darling,
Now it's you little darling,
Now it's you.
Girl, where's me wage packet ?????,
Ah I'll put twenty-five knicker please on Gallop Printer,
Oh, I hope the wife don't find out,
Yes, it's sure to win, isn't it,
Yes, I know, it's a good dog, I saw it run at White City,
Just last week, broke the record, Gallop Printer,
Nice dog, yes, lovely form, lovely buttocks.
