San Antonio Rose
02:10
|
|||
Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars, all alone
It was there I found, beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor, know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And rose, my rose of San Antone

You Are My Sunshine
03:34
|

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:
You are my…

Carolina in the Morning
03:44
|
|||
Nothing could be finer
Than to be in Carolina
In the morning.
No one could be sweeter
Than my sweetie when I meet her
In the morning.
When the morning glories
Twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories
I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie
Where the dew is pearly early
In the morning.
Butterflies all flutter up
And kiss each little buttercup
At dawning.
If I had Aladdin's lamp
For only a day
I'd make a wish
And here's what I'd say
Nothing could be finer
Than to be in Carolina
In the morning.

Corrine Corrina
02:02
|
|||
Corrine, Corrina; Where'd you stay last night?
Corrine, Corrina; Where'd you stay last night?
Came home this mornin'; Sun was shinin' bright.
Goodbye Corrina; This is fare thee well
Goodbye Corrina; This is fare thee well
When I get back, Babe; Lawd! you never can tell.

Amapola
03:16
|

Amapola, lindisima amapola
Sera siempre mi alma
Tuya sola
Yo te quiero amada niña mía
Igual que ama la flor la luz del día
Amapola, lindisima amapola
No seas tan ingrata
Mirame
Amapola, amapola
Como puedes tu vivir tan sola.
Amapola, my pretty little poppy
You're like the lovely flower
So sweet and heavenly.
Since I found you
My heart is wrapped around you
And loving you it seems to beat a rhapsody.
Amapola, my pretty little poppy
Must copy its endearing charm from you.
Amapola, amapola
How I long to hear you say, "I love you!"

La Paloma
03:35
|
|||
Ein Wind weht von Süd und zieht mich hinaus auf See,
mein Kind, sei nicht traurig, tut auch der Abschied weh.
Mein Herz geht an Bord und fort muss die Reise geh'n,
Dein Schmerz wird vergeh'n und schön wird das Wiederseh'n.
Mich trägt die Sehnsucht fort in die blaue Ferne,
unter mir Meer und über mir Nacht und Sterne.
Vor mir die Welt - so treibt mich der Wind des Lebens.
Wein' nicht, mein Kind, die Tränen, die sind vergebens.
Auf Matrosen - ohe!
Einmal muss es vorbei sein.
Nur Erinnerung an Stunden der Liebe
bleibt noch an Land zurück.
Seemannsbraut ist die See
und nur ihr kann er treu sein!
Wenn der Sturmwind sein Lied singt
dann winkt mir der großen Freiheit Glück.
Wie blau ist das Meer -
wie groß kann der Himmel sein.
Ich schau hoch vom Mastkorb
weit in die Welt hinein.
Nach vorn geht mein Blick-
zurück darf kein Seemann schauen.
Kap Horn liegt auf Lee -
jetzt heißt es auf Gott vertrauen.
Seemann gib Acht,
Denn strahlt auch als Gruß des Friedens
Hell durch die Nacht
Das leuchtende Kreuz des Südens,
Schroff ist ein Riff
Und schnell geht ein Schiff zugrunde,
Früh oder spät schlägt
Jedem von uns die Stunde.
Auf Matrosen ohé!
Einmal muss es vorbei sein,
Einmal holt uns die See.
Und das Meer gibt keinen
Von uns zurück.
Seemanns Braut ist die See
Und nur ihr kann er treu sein,
Wenn der Sturmwind sein Lied singt,
Dann winkt mir
Der großen Freiheit Glück.
La Paloma adé
Auf Matrosen, ohé! Ohé!

Sugar
03:18

Sugar
I call my baby my sugar
I never maybe my sugar
That's why baby is so
Confectionary
Funny, she never pleads for my money
But when she feeds me on honey
She gets her needs every time
I'd make a million trips to her lips
If I were a bee
'Cause they are sweeter than any honey to me
They're granulated
Sugar
I never cheat on my sugar
Cause I'm too sweet on my sugar
That sugar baby of mine.

St Louis Blues
05:33
|
|||
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby, she's gone left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Has got this man wrapped round her apron strings,
if it wasn't for powder
and for store bought hair
That gal of mine wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere
I got the St. Louis blues, blues as I can be
That gal's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my gal like a school boy loves his pie
Like an old Kentucky colonel loves his Russian rye
Yeah, I'll love that gal until the day I die

Sweet Sue
02:20
|
|||
Every star above
Knows the one I love
Sweet You
It's you
And the moon up high
Knows the reason why
Sweet Sue
Just You
No one else it seems
Ever shares my dreams
And without you dear I don't know what i'd do
In this heart of mine
You'll live all the time
Sweet Sue
Just you!
