"Roll With My Baby"

"Roll With My Baby"

Went to see my sweetheart
Last night around about ten
She said, "Home sweet, Papa"
Squeeze me every now and then

I'll keep rolling with my baby
I'll keep rolling with my baby
I'll keep rolling with my baby
'Cause she's sweet that way

We went out to a movie
Stop in the very last row
We hadn't been there a good five minutes
Before she's ready to go

I had to roll with my baby
I had to roll with my baby
I had to roll with my baby
'Cause she's sweet that way

I've got a quarter, a nickel and a dime
Can't buy me no whiskey
I guess I'll have to settle for wine
And then I can

Roll with my baby
I know I can roll with my baby
I'm sure I can roll with my baby
'Cause she's sweet that way

She's such a sweet woman
I'll never let her go
'Cause deep down inside of me
Lord knows I love her so

I'll keep rolling with my baby
I'll keep rolling with my baby
I'll keep rolling with my baby
'Cause she's sweet that way

"Rosetta"

"Rosetta"

Rosetta, my Rossetta
In my heart dear there's no one but you

You told me that you loved me
Never leave me for somebody new
You made my whole life a dream
And I pray you make it come true

Rosetta, my Rosetta
Please say I'm the one dear, just for you

Rosetta, woah Rosetta
In my heart dear there's no one but you

You told me that you loved me
Never leave me for somebody new
You made my whole life a dream
And I pray you make it come true

Rosetta, woah Rosetta
Please say I'm the one dear, just for you
Please say I'm the one dear, just for you

"Ruby"

"Ruby"

They say, Ruby you're like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break when I awake
Let it be so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

They say, Ruby you're like a song
You just don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see heartaches for me
Right from the start, who stole my heart?
Ruby, it's you

I hear your voice and I must come to you (must come to you)
I have no choice, so what else can I do? (what else can I do?)
They say, Ruby you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I just don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

(I hear your voice and I must come to you)
(I have no choice, what else can I do?-what can I do?)
They say, Ruby you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

"Satin Doll"

"Satin Doll"

Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin' that satin doll.
Baby, shall we go out skippin?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin',
Speaks Latin that satin doll.
She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be.
I'll give it a whirl but I ain't for no girl catching me,
Swich-e-rooney.
Telephone numbers well you know,
Doing my rhumbas with uno
And that'n my satin doll.

"Seven Spanish Angels"

"Seven Spanish Angels"

He looked down into her brown eyes
And said, "Say a prayer for me."
She threw her arms around him,
Whispered, "God will keep us free."

They could hear the riders comin',
He said, "This is my last fight.
If they take me back to Texas,
They won't take me back alive."

There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun.
They were prayin' for the lovers in the valley of the gun.

When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
There was thunder from the throne,
And seven Spanish angels took another angel home.

She reached down and picked the gun up
That lay smoking in his hand.
She said, "Father, please forgive me;
I can't make it without my man."

And she knew the gun was empty,
And she knew she couldn't win,
But her final prayer was answered
When the rifles fired again.

There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun.
They were prayin' for the lovers in the valley of the gun.

When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
There was thunder from the throne,
And seven Spanish angels took another angel home.

"She Could Shake The Maracas"

"She Could Shake The Maracas"

Ev'ry Latin has a temper,
Latin's have no brain
And they quarrel as they walk in
Latin's Lover Lane
So before you lose your temper
Listen little se¤orita,
And I'll tell to you the story
Of Pepito and Pepita

She could Shake the Maracas
He could play the guitar
But he lived in Havana
And she down to Rio del Mar.
And she shook the maracas
In a Portuguese bar
While he strummed in Havana
The distance between them was far.
By and by
He got a job with a band in Harlem
She got a job with a band in Harlem
Ay! Ay! Ay!
He said, "I'm the attraction"
She said, "I'm the star"
But they finally married
And now see how happy they are
So shake your maracas
Play your guitar!

"She's On The Ball"

"She's On The Ball"

If you beg a date
She says, "You're too late"
Then later, she gives you a call
Don't hesitate, you're in for a break
'Cause Jack, she's on the ball
If she winks at you
Don't you miss that cue
For this is no time for a stall
Man, call a hack, and get to your shack
'Cause Jack, she's on the ball
No use in her denying
You don't have to do much trying
Just remember this, when she gives you her kiss
Her heart, and soul, are pining
So remember Gates
It's never too late
If ever she starts 'n to stall
Just bait your trap, she'll fall just like that
'Cause Jack, she's on the ball

[Solos]

No use in her denying
You don't have to do much trying
'Cause remember this, if she gives you her kiss
Her heart, and soul, are pining
So remember-gate
It's never too late
Whenever she starts 'n to stall
Just bait your trap, she'll fall just like that
'Cause Jack, she's on the ball
Mm, Jack, she's on the ball
(I'm tellin' you buddy)
Jack, she's on the ball
(Of course, if she's fine it's understood that)
Jack, she's on the ball

"Side By Side"

"Side By Side"

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we travel along, singin' our song
Side by side

Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we travel the road, sharin' our load
Side by side

Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together
It doesn't matter at all

When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just travelin' along, singin' our song
Side by side

Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together
It doesn't matter at all

When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just travelin' along, singin' our song
Side by side

Side by side
Side by side
Just travelin' along, singin' our song
Side by, side by, side by side
