That’s My Home - Helm / Rebennack
Who knows how long I’ve waited
I’ve waited oh so long
To reach the place I’m going
That’s my home


Where folks say how’d you do?
And they all mean it too
A mother’s love so true
That’s my home


It matters no difference
If it’s a one room shack
Every time that I get back
I still like it like that


We got blues matching sky
And love birds love to fly
Until the day I die
That’s my home


It matters no difference
If it’s a one room shack
Every time that I get back
I still like it like that


Where folks say how’d you do?
And they all mean it too
A mother’s love so true
That’s my home

Too Bad For Me – Steve Pineo
Too bad for me
I fell in love with you
Too bad for me
There’s nothing I can do
But hide the hurt
Hold it fast
It was too good to last
Too bad for me


You didn’t mean to flirt
Too bad for you
You didn’t mean to flirt
Too bad for you
You didn’t need to hurt
But you did what you did
And you can’t keep it hid
Too bad for you

Sad stories, I have many
They ain’t even worth a three-penny opera
But if you wish to grieve
Over what you believe

I ain’t stoppin’ ya

Too for us
The angels let us down
Too for us
We got off that merry-go-round
Feeling tired, feeling sick
Feeling cut to the quick
Too bad for us

Well you know that I appreciate
You’re trying to alleviate your suffering
But if a token will suffice
Beware the price of the offering
And I ain’t offering

Too bad for me
I fell in love with you
Too bad for me
There’s nothing I can do
But hide the hurt
Hold it fast
It was too good to last
Too bad for me

One Kiss - Keith Glass
One Kiss from you darling would
Mean so much to me
The touch of you sweet lips
Could bring me to my knees
Don’t leave me waiting,
I’m begging you please
One kiss from you darling-
Before you must leave

One word from you darling
Could turn darkness to light
And take the sorrow form
This lonely night.
Lover release me-
Give me back my sight
One kiss from you darling-
Before you say goodnight.

I know that you will haunt me
Preying on my mind each night and day
Tell me that you don’t want me
Break this spell and let me walk away.

Crying, me heart is crying
Count these tears as they fall from my eyes
Why do we keep on trying?
We both know that its time for goodbye.

So come let me hold you
One last time in the dark
There in the silence
Look inside my heart
You’ll see my love burning
Like it has from the start
One kiss from you darling
Before we must part.

Open Up Your Heart - Russell deCarle / Keith Glass
Burned by an old flame
Now you’re out for a fling
One night together
We didn’t thing would mean a thing
Love it came creeping
Didn’t even make a sound
Now this could be the one
To turn your heart around

Come on and love me
Open up your heart
Minutes pass like hours
When we’re apart
Waiting for an answer
Please don’t refuse
This love I have for you

I can’t stop this feeling
And I know you feel it too
Put that old hurt aside
Don’t let it get the best of you
So many lonely people
Live a lifetime of regret
Come on baby take this chance
Time to find the right one yet

To have and to hold you
Is my one desire
Say you will
Don’t put out this fire

Come on and love me
Open up your heart
Minutes pass like hours
When we’re apart
Waiting for an answer
Please don’t refuse
This love I have for you

Long and Lonesome Old Freight Train – Cris Cuddy
From the morning mist
Came a sound in the distance
It was nothing but an old freight train
And he’s rolling along
Like the rhythm to this song
That long and lonesome old freight train
That long lonesome old freight train

What a feeling in me
Watching cars from Tennessee
Down below that Dixon line
Singing brakemans on the loose
Dreaming out from his caboose
That long and lonesome old freight train
That long lonesome old freight train

I passed him on the run
On the way to Binghampton
Allentown and Philadelphia
Illion and New York
On the way to Spencer port
Came home beside that old freight train
That long and lonesome old freight train

From the mornin’ mist
Came a sound in the distance
It was nothing but an old freight train
And he’s rolling along
Like the rhythm to this song
That long and lonesome old freight train
That long lonesome old freight train

I Threw it All Away - Bob Dylan
I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
But I was cruel
I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away

Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through every day
I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away

Love is all there is, it makes the world go ‘round
Love and only love, it can’t be denied
No matter what you think about it
You just won’t be able to do without it
Take a tip from one who’s tried

So if you find someone that gives you all of her love
Take it to your heart, don’t let it stray
One thing’s for certain
You’ll surely be a- hurtin’
If you throw it all away
If you throw it all away

Sweet Sweet Girl - Don Gibson
She was a sweet, sweet girl to me
No matter where I go
No matter who I see
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
She was a sweet, sweet girl to me

She was a sweet, sweet girl to me
Though she said goodbye and set me free
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
She was a sweet, sweet girl to me

I can’t talk about her cause she’s with someone new
But while she was with me she was true true true
Should have done her right when I had my day
Now I’m all alone and I’m havin’ my pay

She was a sweet, sweet girl to me
Guess I had it comin’ cause she set me free
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
She was sweet, sweet girl to me

I can’t talk about her now she’s with someone new
But while she with me she was true, true, true
Should have done her right we I had my day
Now I’m all along and I’m havin’ to pay

She was a sweet, sweet girl to me
No matter where I go
No matter who I see
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, she was a sweet, sweet girl to me

Drown Your Sorrows - Joan Besen
CHORUS
Night and day I think of you only
The stars write your name in the heavens above
If someone has gone and left you lonely
Drown your sorrows in the ocean of my love

I can’t stand to think of you crying
I can’t stand to imagine you in pain
My love for you won’t let me stop trying
To bring some comfort to your aching heart again

CHORUS
If you’re adrift in lightning and thunder
And you find yourself calling my name
A silver wave will pull your troubles under
And bring you safely to the golden shore again

CHORUS

Mona Lisa - Ray Evans / Jay Livingston Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You’re so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you’re lonely they have blamed you?
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Do you smile to temp a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

I wish I’d never Known Love – Joan Besen
CHORUS
I wish I’d never known love
I wish I’d never known a thing about it
I wish I’d never known love
Because it’s too hard living without it

I fell in love for the first time
The very first time when we met
Oh how I wish it had never happened
‘Cause what you don’t know about
You don’t have to forget

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The sun and the moon always keep frowning down on me
Throwing their careless light all over everything
Everything I don’t want to see

I can’t stop thinking about you
I think about you night and day
If such a beautiful love can die
Tell me why won’t the memories
Why won’t they die the same way?

CHORUS

Short Time Here – Joan Besen
Everybody complains when they don’t get what they wanted
When they get what they want, they take it all for granted
Take a look at your blessings, count them one by one
We’re a short time here, a long time gone

Everybody has something they’re putting off until tomorrow
But the only time we have is the little time we borrow
And it hurts to be haunted by the things you wish you’d done
We’re a short time here, a long time gone

BRIDGE
Short time here, Long time gone

Everybody has a vow that they wish they hadn’t broken
Or a careless word that they wish they hadn’t spoken
And the marks of our passing, good or bad, will carry on
They’re a long time here when we’re a long time gone

Hope for joyful souls, hope for beauty to surround us
Hope for peaceful worlds, hope that finally has found us
Coming out of the darkness to the light of the sun
We’re a short time here, and long time gone

Heaven or Baton Rouge – Robert David / Russell deCarle
Bad blood high water
Big money draggin me down
Sitting on top of my world
Whole town’s about to drown

Arizona to Coronada
All the time to fiddle ee dee
Time a wastin’
Water rising
Levee broke and the devil got free

Drink muddy water
Shake and shiver
Feel like I’m fixin’ to die
Darkness falling
Sin and sorrow
Too tired too scared to lonely to cry

Tried talking to my neighbor
Not much to say today
Nothing changing
But the sky above
Three days dying
Now she’s passed away

Howling after midnight
Howling after noon
Lost souls in the water
A lonesome mournful tune

Don’t know where I’m heading
Lost everything I’ve ever known
Who’s that coming cross the water
If it ain’t Jesus then I ain’t going

If you see my mother crying
If you see my baby blue
Tell them soon we’ll be together
In heaven or Baton Rouge
