Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
On this, our weddin' day
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
Wait, wait along

I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave

Oh, to be torn 'tweenst love and duty
Supposin' I lose my fair-haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearin' high noon

He made a vow while in state prison
Vowed it would be my life or his, and
I'm not afraid of death, but, oh
What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side

Wait along (wait along), wait along
Wait along, wait along
(Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)

You can gamble for match sticks, you can gamble for gold
The stakes may be heavy or small
But if you haven't gambled for love and lost, you haven't gambled at all

They call me a moonlight gambler
I've gambled for love and lost
When I gamble for love and it isn't in the cards
Oh, what heartaches it can cost me

Win or lose, I'm a moonlight gambler
And a winner is what I long to be
So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live
Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me

You can gamble for match sticks
You can gamble for gold
The stakes may be heavy or small
But if you haven't gambled for love and lost
Then you haven't gambled at all

No, if you haven't gambled for love in the moonlight
Then you haven't gambled at all

So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live
Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me

They call me the moonlight gambler
They call me the moonlight gambler

Mule train, yeah, yeah.
Mule train: clippetty-clopping over hill and plain.
Seems as how they'll never stop.
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty,
clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along.

There's a plug of chaw tobaccy for a rancher in Corolla;
A guitar for a cowboy way out in Arizona;
A dress of callico for a pretty Navajo.
Get along mule, get along.

Mule train, yeah, yeah.
Mule train: clippetty-clopping along the mountain chain.
Seems as though they're gonna recah the top.
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty, c
lippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along.

There's some cotton thread and needle for the folks away out yonder.
A shovel for a miner who left his home to wander.
Some rheumatism pills for the settlers in the hills.
Get along mule, get along.



Mule train, yeah, yeah.
Mule train: clippetty-clopping through the wind and rain.
They'll keep going till they drop.
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty,
clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along.

There's a letter full of sadness and it's black around the border.
A pair of boots for someone who had them made to order.
A Bible in the pack for the Reverend Mr Black.
Get along mule, get along.

Get along mule, get along. (Mule train.)
Get along, get along.

All day I've faced the barren waste,
Without the taste of water:
Cool water. (Water.)
Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry,
An' souls that cry for water: (Water.)
Cool, (Water.)
Clear, (Water.)
Water. (Water.)Keep a-movin, Dan,
Don't you listen to him, Dan,
He's the devil, not a man:
Spreads the burning sand with water. (Water.)
Dan, can you see that big, green tree, (Water.)
Where the water's runnin' free? (Water.)
It's waitin' there for me and you? (Water.)The nights are cool, I'm a fool.
Each star's a pool of water.
Cool water. (Water.)
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn,
And carry on to water. (Water.)
Water, (Water.)
Water, (Water.)
Water, (Water.)Keep a-movin, Dan,
Don't you listen to him, Dan,
He's the devil, not a man:
Spreads the burning sand with water. (Water.)
Dan, can you see that big, green tree, (Water.)
Where the water's runnin' free? (Water.)
Waitin' there for me and you?Cool, (Water.)
Clear, (Water.)
Water. (Water.)Cool, (Water.)
Clear, (Water.)
Water. (Cool, clear, water.)

Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And oh how they give you away
Why try to deny you're a woman in love
When I know very well what I say
I say no moon in the sky ever lent such a glow
Some flame deep within made them shine
Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And may they gaze ever more into mine
Crazily gaze ever more into mine

Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And may they gaze ever more into mine
Crazily gaze ever more into mine

Listen to my tale of woe,
It's terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go
Each evening I'm awfully blue.

I must win some handsome guy
Can't go on like this,
I could blossom out I know,
With somebody just like you. So

Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Oh, lady, be good to me
I am so awfully misunderstood
So lady, be good to me
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all-alone in this big city
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So lady be good to me.

Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So lady be good to me.
Oh lady be good to me.

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever, when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever, when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame"

Thou givest fever when we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever, I'm afire
Fever, yeah, I burn for sooth

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare"

"He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his misses
Daddy, won't you treat him right", go

Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade

They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever, if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn

An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost herd in the sky
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
On horses snortin' flame an' fire, as they ride on, hear them cry
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range"
"Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride"
"A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky

Keep rolli rollin rollin
though the streams are swollen
keep them doggies rollin rawhide
through rain and wind and weather
hell-bent for leather
wishin my gal ws by my side
all the things im missin
good vittles,love and kissin
are waitin at the end of my ride

move em on head em up
head em up move em on
move em on head em up rawhide

move em on head em up rawhide

cut em out ride em in
ride em in cut em out
cut em out ride em in rawhide
ride em in rawhide

O.K. Corral O.K. Corral
There the outlaw band make their final stand
O.K. Corral
Oh my dearest one must die
Lay down my gun or take the chance of losing you forever
Duty calls
My backs against the wall
Have you no kind word to say
Before I ride away
Away
Your love your love
I need
Your love
Keep the flame let it burn
Until I return
From the gunfight at O.K. Corral
If the lord is my friend
We'll meet at the end
Of the gunfight at O.K. Corral
Gunfight at O.K. Corral
Boot hill Boot hill
So cold so still
There they lay side by side
The killers that died
In the gunfight at O.K. Corral
O.K. Corral
Gunfight at O.K. Corral

I want to ride again on the 3.10 to yuma
That's where I saw my love
The girl with the golden hair
Not a word between us was spoken
No the silence never was broken
But before she left her eyes said a sad goodbye
Sad am I sad am I
To think of the chance that I missed
I could cry to think of the lips left unkissed

Perhaps she'll ride again on the 3.10 to yuma
And I can meet my love and tell her how much I care
Though I have no reason to go there
And there's not a soul that I know there
When the 3.10 to yuma leaves if I have the fare
I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there

Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame
Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name

Hummingbird, hummingbird winging along
No tender young blossom can hold you for long
No tender young blossom can hold you for long
Hummingbird, hummingbird winging along

You'd hug me and kiss me like others I've known
You'd promise to love me and call me your own
Then all of my dreams would be shattered apart
By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart

Hummingbird, hummingbird, feathered so fine
If I clipped your wings it would not make you mind
If I clipped your wings it would not make you mind
Hummingbird, hummingbird, feathered so fine

Hummingbird, hummingbird, fly right on by
Some folks like to gamble, but darling not I
Some folks like to gamble, but darling not I
Hummingbird, hummingbird, fly right on by

I'd rather be lonely, I'd rather be blue
Yes, I'd rather spend my whole life without you
Then feather a nest to be shattered apart
By the hum, hum of your hummingbird heart
By the hum, hum of your hummingbird heart.

Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all dayDear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to ParadiseShow me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to ParadiseShow me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon river and they found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome
Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow
With the northen lights a-runnin' wild
In the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
In the year of nineteen-one

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through that wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin? breeze
An' listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don?t fence me in

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at harbours and I can't stand fences
Don?t fence me in

(Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above,)
(Don?t fence me in.)
(Let me ride through that wide open country that I love:)
(Don?t fence me in.)
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
An' listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don?t fence me in

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
An' gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
An' I can't look at harbours and I can?t stand fences
So don?t fence me in, oh no
Now brother, don?t you fence me in

For he rode a blazing saddle
He wore a shining star
He conquered fear and he conquered hate and he turned dark night into day for
He rode a blazing saddle a torch to light the way
When bad men come he's a man with a gun and Bart was his name yes Bart was his name
He ode a blazing saddle a torch to light the way

My heart knows what the wild goose knows
And I must go where the wild goose goes
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Tonight I heard the wild goose cry
Wingin' north in the lonely sky
I tried to sleep, but it wasn't no use
'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose

My heart knows what the wild goose knows
And I must go where the wild goose goes
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Woman was kind and true to me
She thinks she loves me, the more fool she
She's gotta learn that it ain't no use
To love the brother of the old wild goose

My heart knows what the wild goose knows
And I must go where the wild goose goes
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Oh, you wild goose

The cabin is warm and the snow is deep
And I've got a woman who lies asleep
When she wakes at tomorrow's dawn
She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone

My heart knows what the wild goose knows
And I must go where the wild goose goes
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly away

Spring is comin' and the ice will break
And I can't linger for a woman's sake
She'll see a shadow pass overhead
She'll find a feather besides my bed

My heart knows what the wild goose knows
And I must go where the wild goose goes
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Wild goose, brother goose
Wild goose, brother goose
Wild goose, brother goose
Wild goose, brother goose
Wild goose, brother goose
Wild goose, brother goose

Till I became a wanted man,
I never owned a gun,
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat,
And I'm always, always, always on the run

I killed poor Jed Bryant
In a bad Laredo fight,
Killed him with my bare hands
For the girl I loved that night.
Jed's brother's out to get me,
He's comin' with a gang
I'd rather shoot it out, by God, than let 'em see me hang

Bullet in my shoulder,
Blood runnin' down my vest,
Twenty in the posse,
And they're never gonna let me rest.

Till I became a wanted man,
I never owned a gun,
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat,
And I'm always, always, always on the run

Spangles on her red dress
Laughter in her voice,
When he tried to put his hands on her
My heart left me no choice.
But was she really worth it?
I guess I'll never know,
She'll be drinkin' someone else's rye when I'm six feet below.

Bullet in my shoulder,
Blood runnin' down my vest,
Twenty in the posse,
And they're never gonna let me rest.

Till I became a wanted man,
I never owned a gun,
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat,
And I'm always, always, always on the run.

See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

I know when night has gone
That a new world's born at dawn

I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Drifting, on and on
Moving, on and on
Wandering, on and on

I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
I believe
I believeI believe above the storm the smallest prayer
Will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky
Then I know why I believeEvery time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
[Why I believe]

You're my anchor
I'm a kite
You're what gets me through the night
Keeps me steady and on course
'til I found you I was lost
Now you're the earth
And I'm the sky
Sometimes when I go too high
You pull the string that holds me back
If not for you I might lose track and

Fly away oh I must fly away
And go my own way
To places that we've never been together
I might fly away
Take to the sky someday
But for now
Not today
Cause nobody here is flyin'
Flying away

You have reasons I have dreams
So we're perfect so it seems
You tell fortunes
I tell truths
You kept me from my crazy youth
'cause when I'm near you I feel whole
I don't have to rock 'n' roll
I don't worry
I don't think
But hold me 'cause I'm on the brink
I might

Fly away oh I must fly away
And go my own way
To places that we've never been together
I might fly away
Take to the sky someday
But not for now
Not today
Cause nobody here is flyin'
Flying away

Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rainWell, didn't it rain children
God's gonna send new orders from Zion
He's good raise his heaven up higher
It's gonna rainWell stop! Great God, stop still and listen
My God walked down by the briny sea
Beheld the evil of the sinful Man
Declared that he would destroy the landHe spoke to Noah, Noah stopped
He said, Noah I want you to build an ark
And I want you to build it big and strong
Build it three hundred cubits along
Thirty high and fifty wide
Cause it's got to stand that rain and tideWell, rain children
God's gonna send new orders from Zion
He's good raise his heaven up higher
It's gonna rainWell, after God told him what to do
Noah began to cut and hew
The ringing of the saw cried "Judgement"
The ringing of the hammer cried "Sinner repent"A hundred years he hammered and sawed
Building the Ark by the Grace of God
After the foundation was laid
He hewed the timber and the Ark was madeLord, let it rain
Behold the Ark is madeWell he called in the animals two by two
The ox, the camel, and the kangaroo
Well they called in Japeth, Ham and Shem
And God began to flood the landHe raised his hands to heaven on high
He knocked the sun, the moon from the sky
S the mountains around the sea
And he hitched his reins to the chariot wheel
Stepped on the land and stood on the shore
And declared that time would be no moreRain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rainMy Lord had to wait until the float and the Ark did rock
And Noah couldn't find nowhere to dock
My God spoke and he whispered low
Showed old Noah where he wanted him to goHe said, "Lookit here, Noah, the rain's done stopped
And I want you to land on the mountaintop"
He showed old Noah a rainbow sign
Said it won't be a rain but fire next timeRain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain

From the dust arose on high
A thundercloud in a two-lane sky
From the world I did rebel
A fallen angel

Highway lust was in my blood
But who could ever take my love?
The crew was cold?
And the banner fell
A fallen angel

A girl so strange, I lost my head
Lost it all, got left for dead
I curse the day now, just a shell
A fallen angel

Gonna ride up from hell
I'm the fallen angel

When the brink of ruin lies
Upon the world, a judge shall rise
To lead the fall, you'll remember well
A fallen angel

Gonna ride up from hell
Gonna ride up from hell
Gonna ride up from hell
I'm the fallen angel

Memories in Gold (Frankie Laine)
Those melodies that we two crossed years . . .
Have underscored our laughter and our tears
With every phrase we see the . . . past unfold . . .
Like memories in gold.

Some tunes remind us of our childhood days . . .
Sunday afternoons and . . . songs of praise . . .
Reflecting happy times in . . . joys untold . . .
These memories in gold.

From those early nursery rhymes . . .
Through our adolescent times . . .
We find more varied as we went along . . .
And how could we go wrong . . .

And how could we go wrong . . .
With a special song . . .
That would always . . . see us through?



Our lives without them might be . . . cold and bleak . . . Our favorite song is more than words can speak . . .
They helped me win your love to heaven hold . . .
Sweet memories in gold.

When the band played rock and roll . . .
And the people called it soul . . .
Our favorite songs were like a tapestry . . .
Edged in melody . . .
They would always be . . . part of you and . . part of me.

There's little more to add when . . . songs are sung . . .
The words and music help . . . keep us young . . .
And so we're not afraid of . . . growing old . . .
With memories . . . let's hear them, please . . .
Sweet memories in gold.

Jealousy, night and day you torture me
I sometimes wonder if this spell that I'm under
Can only be a melody for I know no one but me
Has won your heart but when the music starts

My peace departs
From the moment they play that lovely strain
And we surrender to all its charm again
This jealousy that tortures me is ecstasy, mystery, pain

We dance to a tango of love
Your heart beats with mine as we sway
Your eyes give the answer I'm dreaming of
That soft word your cruel lips will never say

I fear that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe when your eyes just deceive
Bit it's only the tango you love

I fear that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe when your eyes just deceive
And it's only the tango you love
It's only the tango that you love

JEZEBE E E E EL, JEZEBE E E E EL
IF EVER THE DEVIL WAS BORN
WITHOUT A PAIR OF HORNS IT WAS YOU

DECEIVING ME GRIEVING ME LEAVING ME BLUE
JEZEBEL IT WAS YOU
IF EVER THE DEVILS PLAN WAS MADE TO TORMENT MAN
IT WAS YOU JEZEBEL IT WAS YOUTWOULD BE BETTER HAD I NEVER KNOWN
A LOVER SUCH AS YOU
FORSAKING DREAMS AND ALL
FOR THE SIREN CALL OF YOUR ARMS
LIKE A DEMON LOVE POSSESSED ME YOU
OBSESSED ME CONSTANTLY
WHAT EVIL STAR IS MINE
THAT MY FATES DESIRE SHOULD BE
JEZEBE E E EL
IF EVER A PAIR OF EYES PROMISED PARADISE
DECEIVING ME GRIEVING ME LEAVING ME BLUE
JEZEBEL IT WAS YOU

To spend one night with you
In our old rendezvous
And reminisce with you
That's my desire

To meet where gypsies play
Down in that dim caf?br> And dance till break of day
That's my desire

We'll sip a little glass of wine
And I'll gaze into your eyes divine
I'll feel the touch of your lips
Pressing on mine

To hear you whisper low
Just when it's time to go
"Cheri, I love you so"
"You're my desire"

To hear you whisper low
Just when it's time to go
"Cheri, I love you so"
"You're my desire"

You're my desire

Hear me, why you keep fooling
Little coquette, making fun of the one who loves you
Breaking hearts you are ruling
Little coquette, true hearts tenderly dreaming of you.
Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets,
You know, my little coquette, I love you.

Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Now, maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets,
Now, you know, my little coquette, I love you.

In my heyday
Young men wrote to me
Everybody seemed to have time to devote to me
Everyone I saw all swore they knew me
Once upon a song
Main attraction, couldn't buy a seat
The celebrity, celebrities were dying to meet
I've had every accolade bestowed on me
And so you see

If I never sing another song
It wouldn't bother me
I had my share of fame
You know my name

If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
I would get by, but I'm not sure how

Always posing, but you love it all
Though you have to learn to act like you're above it all
Everything I did the world applauded
Once upon a star

Framed citations, hung on every wall
Got a scrapbook full of quotes, I can recall them all
There were times I felt the world belonged to me
And so you see

If I never sing another song
It wouldn't bother me
I had my share of fame
You know my name

If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
I would get by, but I'm not sure how
But I'm not sure how
But I'm not sure how
