The Gal From Joe's

(1939) Irving Mills, Duke Ellington
Way down at Mister Joe's Cafe
They're takin' someone far away
And if you hear a song today
It's a sad tune that you'll be playin':
She's leavin' and folks are feelin' so low
They're grievin' and they're consolin' poor Joe
Gonna miss her song
Gonna miss her smile
She'll be travlin' alone down that last long mile
They're sighin'
With all thei trouble and woes
They're Cryin' 'cause they all loved
The gal from Joe's.

Prelude To A Kiss

Duke ellington / irving gordon / irving mills
If you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for the dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss
If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss
Though its just a simple melody with nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a simphony a schubert tune with a gershwin touch
Oh! how my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss.

Waiting

Waitin ? got a leash around my neck
Trainin ? Ill never be your pet
Dyin, sighin
You got me flyin, cryin
Ive been waitin ? standing by your side
Prayin ? tryin to turn the tide
Spinnin, grinnin
You got me flyin high
Waitin ? Ive been tryin to state my case
Racin ? tryin to keep it in the chase
Slippin, slidin
Im gonna be seekin, findin
Youre strokin, Im smokin
Yourre playin and Im layin a plan
Im getting all the lovin
Im getting all the lovin I can
Youre leadin me astray
Im pleadin - Im leadin
Youre feedin ? Im beggin
Waitin - seems like all my life
Skatin ? livin on thin ice
Dreamin, schemin
Youre gonna do me in
Waitin ? when are you gonna come back?
Strung out ? you got me on the rack
Duckin, divin
Im gonna be midnight drivin
Youre takin, Im breakin
Im shakin and its makin me bad ? Im so sad
Im reelin all the feelin
Im reelin all the feelin I can
Ive got to make you stay
Youre leavin ? Im grievin
Youre sellin ? Im buyin ? youre lyin
Youre prayin and Im layin a plan
Im gettin all the lovin
Im gettin all the lovin I can
Youre leadin me astray
Im pleadin, Im needin
Youre feedin, Im beggin
Im shakin and its makin me bad ? Im so sad
Im reelin all the feelin
Im reelin all the feelin I can
Ive got to make you stay
Youre leavin ? Im grievin
Youre sellin ? Im buyin ? youre lyin

I'm off the wall/against the wall/I can't call/you can't hear/above the

I grab my coat/and then I'm gone/ to the tune of a different song/
to the tune of a different song/miss me when I'm gone/to the tune
of a different song

the holiday covered in snow/now you're back/where'd you go? /
you got a number/she give you her's/was it hot/ what've you got/
did she take your breath away/what have you got to say/did she take your
breath away/on the beach/in the sun/on the sand/on the run/ in the heat/
in the cold/what have you got left to hold/she took your hand/but now she's gone/
and here I stand/life goes on/to the tune of a different song/to the tune of a different

Poor Boy Blues

by Bob Dylan
Mm, tell mama,
Where'd ya sleep last night?
Cain't ya hear me cryin'?
Hm, hm, hm.
Hey, tell me baby,
What's the matter here?
Cain't ya hear me cryin'?
Hm, hm, hm.
Hey, stop you ol' train,
Let a poor boy ride.
Cain't ya hear me cryin'?
Hm, hm, hm.
Hey, Mister Bartender,
I swear I'm not too young.
Cain't ya hear me cryin'?
Hm, hm, hm.
Blow your whistle, policeman,
My poor feet are trained to run.
Cain't ya hear me cryin'?
Hm, hm, hm.
Long-distance operator,
I hear this poor call is on the house.
Cain't ya hear me cryin'?
Hm, hm, hm.
Ashes and diamonds,
The diff'rence I cain't see.
Cain't ya hear me cryin'?
Hm, hm, hm.
Mister Judge and Jury,
Cain't you see the shape I'm in?
Don't ya hear me cryin'?
Hm, hm, hm.
Mississippi River,
You a-runnin' too fast for me.
Cain't ya hear me cryin'?
Hm, hm, hm.

Today I'm Gonna Be...

Today….

I’m not gonna think
any negative thoughts

I’m not gonna get
Down in the dumps

I’m not gonna be
the least bit sad

I’m not gonna just sit back
And take my lumps

I’m gonna see
the bright side of everything

I’m gonna smile
at everyone I meet

I’m gonna listen close
And hear the birds sing

I’m gonna smell the roses
I’m gonna feel my heartbeat

Today I’m just gonna be my own man
Today I got nothing’ to lose

Today I wantta be…Today I’m gonna be!
Just what I darned well choose!

And I’m gonna be happy!

Sophisticated Lady

Duke ellington / mitchell parish / irving mills
They say into your early life romance came
And this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then, with disilution deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you, somehow
I see you now
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No, sophisticated lady,
I know, you miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry

Travlin All Alone

J.c. johnson
Im so weary and all alone
Feel tired like heavy stone
Travlin, travlin all alone
Who will see and who will care
Bout this load that I must bear
Travlin, travlin all alone
Prayers are said to heaven above
bout my burdens,woes and love
Head bowed down with misery
Nothing now appeals to me
Travlin, travlin all alone
Give me just another day
Theres one thing I want to say
Friends are well when all is gold
Leave you always when youre old
Travlin, travlin all alone

If You See Him, If You See Her

Well there's a half moon starlit sky
All the conditions are just right
Our song's playing on the radio
Every beat of my heart is saying just let go
Cause when you're holdin' me this way
It's all I can do to just think straight
A little voice in my head is sayin' not so fast
If you really want this love to last
Chorus:
I'm gonna catch my breath
I'm gonna count to ten
I'm gonna leave you wonderin' when you'll see me again
I'm gonna say goodnight with one passionate kiss
And leave you with the strongest feeling there is
I'll give you something to miss
I'm not doin' something I'll regret
I'm playin' it just hard enough to get
I'm gonna give you a little space
And let you enjoy the thrill of the chase
Chorus

My Man Medley

Spoken:
I just wanna say this
This is something I thing most of you ladies will identify with
And maybe some of you men too
(the man I love)
Someday hell come along
The man I love
And hell be rich and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
Ill do my best to make him stay
Hell look at me and smile
Ill understand
And maybe for awhile
Hell take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both wont say a word
Spoken:
You know Im the kind of lady
That always seems to find the wrong man
At the wrong place at the wrong time
Its not that I go out looking for him
But somehow he always seems to find me
You see what Im looking for is the kind of man
That comes home with candy
And flowers sayin come on put on your dancing shoes
Cause were gonna wine and dine, wine and dine
But what I always seem to find is the kind of man
That comes home fussing
And fighting, breaking my best dishes
And beat my head outside the wall
Shows no love no respect and nothing at all
(I got it bad and that aint good)
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad and that aint good!
(no, it aint good at all, you know)
Spoken:
Listen, have you been treating your lady nice lately, you have?
And how about you?
Great, well Ive been gettin rocked completely!
My poor heart is sentimental its not made of wood
I got it bad and that aint good
Spoken:
So you see on monday nights
I just go out and drink and drink
But when the weekends over on monday rolls aroun
I end up like I start out just cryin my heart out
Cryin my heart out
Lord above me (come on) make him love me
Then he should
I got it bad baby
I got it bad baby
I got it bad and that aint good!
No it aint good at all you know
Spoken:
But listen mister big shot Ive got your number
And Ill take care of you
And you too and you and you and you
(some of these days)
Some of these days
Youre gonna miss your donna
Some of these days
Youre gonna feel so lonely
Youll miss my huggin
Youll miss my kissin
Youll miss me honey
When youre far away
Youre gonna be so lonely
For me only
Cause you know daddy
You had you way
And if I leave you
You know its gonna grieve you
Youre gonna miss your sweet lovin donna
Some of these days
And if I leave you
You know its gonna grieve you
Youre gonna miss your sweet little donna
Some of these days
Hey honey call me when you got time
Know what I mean...

Rider

I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby from rollin in your arms
The sun is gonna' shine on my backdoor someday
The sun is gonna' shine on my backdoor someday
Well, I know a March wind's gonna' carry my blues away
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby from rollin in your arms
I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train
I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train
Well, I'd shine my light through the cold Colorado rain
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby from rollin in your arms

Mood Indigo

Duke ellington / irving mills / albany bigard
You aint been blue
No, no, no
You aint been blue
Till youve had that mood indigo
That feelin goes stealin down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh go long, blues
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin when lights are low
Im so lonesome I could cry
cause theres nobody who cares about me
Im just a soul whos bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die

Thank God For The Radio

(max d. barnes/robert john jones)
On the wrong end of the highway
When the long night has no end
When theres no one there beside me
til I hold you once again
Thank God for the radio
When Im on the road
When Im far from home
And feelin blue
Thank God for the radio
Playin all night long
Playin all the songs
That mean so much to me and you
Theres a song that we first danced to
And theres a song they played the night we met
And theres a song we first made love to
Thats a song Ill never forget
Thank God for the radio
When Im on the road
When Im far from home
And feelin blue
Thank God for the radio
Playin all night long
Playin all the songs
That mean so much to me and you
Playin all the songs
That mean so much to me and you
Thank God for the radio

Say You Miss Me

I've been sleepin' alone, out on my own
I'm sure it seems like I'm takin' my time to get back to you
You been doin' your part, working real hard
I'm not lying, sure it seems like I'm trying to get back at you
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
I've been losing my mind, wastin' my time
I'm not crazy, sure it seems like I'm lazy, lets get back to you
You been takin' it hard, I know it's hard
I'm not lyin' sure it seems like I'm tryin' to get back at you
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Well I been mixed up since the break up
Well all I need you to say
Well everythings o.k.
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too

Jacky Don Tucker (Play By The Rules Miss All The Fun)

(Toby Keith/Chuck Cannon)
Jacky Don Tucker was my daddy's little brother
And at seventeen he jumped the fence
He joined a rock 'n' roll band, got a tattoo on his hand
Granny said he never had a lick of sense
'Cause by the time he turned seven he was a stealin' watermelons
Playin' house with the girl next door
Drinkin' muscadine wine by the time he was nine
Sneakin' out and smokin' cigarettes under the porch
He was a melon stealin'
Cop-a-feelin'
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin'
Playin' hooky from school
A water tower poet class of '73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
'Cause I'm skinny dippin' finger flippin' son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun
He was always drag racin' and he kept the sheriff chasin'
But they never caught ole Jacky Don
'Cause he was nobody's fool, the definition of cool
He even cut a donut on the courthouse lawn
He created quite a scandal that the locals couldn't handle
When he took up with the preacher's baby girl
They bought a new double wide and on their wedding night
Aunt Jenny went to rockin'
Uncle Jacky Don's world
He was a melon stealin'
Cop-a-feelin'
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin'
Playin' hooky from school
A water tower poet class of '73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
'Cause I'm skinny dippin' finger flippin' son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun
He was a melon stealin'
Cop-a-feelin'
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin'
Playin' hooky from school
A water tower poet class of '73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
'Cause I'm skinny dippin' finger flippin' son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun

Hideaway

Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon,
Is there somethin' on your mind?
You've gone and sold all your belongings,
Is that something in your eye?
Well, i know you really never
Liked the way it all goes down;
Go on, hideaway.
What's that you say?
We're all bound for the graveyard;
Oooh, i wish you well.
Think it's gonna rain,
Oh, what's the diff'rence,
Is there some way i can help?
'cause you know, i'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh, lord,
Wish i could hideaway
Hold on, give yourself a chance,
I can hear the leavin' train.
All aboard! goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Oooh, i wish you well.
See you soon, maybe tomorrow.
You can never tell;
"cause you know, i'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh,
Wish i could hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway.
Hideaway, hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway.

Elijah's Song

Got a rock and roll ditty
From the heart of the city
To a country lane far away
Drums are beatin'
And the bass repeatin'
And it rocks you to sleep just the same
Sleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't take long
We'll be singin' Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song
Ya' got a rock and roll daddy
And you make him so glad
He's got a smile
A mile across his face
Movie star mom
Gonna keep you safe from harm
And she'll do it with style and grace
Sleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't be long
We'll be singing Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song
Little bitty child when you laugh
I smile
It's a feelin' I won't ever forget
Far from now
When you're wanderin' 'round
There's a song that I left in your head
Dream, that's what you do
Dream, 'cause dreams come true
Someday when you're big and strong
You'll remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
