"Along The Navaho Trail"

"Along The Navaho Trail"


Every day a lullabout evening
When the sunlights beginning to fail
I ride through the slumbering shadows
Along the Navajo Trail

When it's night and crickets are calling
And coyotes are making a wail
I dream by a smouldering fire
Along the Navajo Trail

[part 3]
When the wind is strumming a sage-brushed guitar
And over yonder hill the moon is climbing
It always finds me whistling on a star
What do you know it's morning already
There's the dawning, so silver and pale
It's time to climb in my saddle
I want to ride the Navajo Trail

I love the lie and listen to all the music
[repeat part 3]
I want to ride the Navajo Trail

with fellows like Maverick and Cheyenne,
the Indians and their bow and arrows
the boys and guns and love to travel
along the Navajo Trail

"Another Saturday Night"

"Another Saturday Night"


Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause i just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

I got in town a month ago, I seen a lotta girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em but as yet I haven't met 'em
That's why I'm in the shape I'm in

Here another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance
to a cat named Frankenstein

Here's another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had some chick to talk to
I'm in an awful way

(Here it is another weekend and I ain't got nobody
Man if I was back home I'd be swinging
Two chicks on my arm
Aww yeah
Listen to me huh)

It's hard on a fella, when he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey to help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town

Here it's another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had some chick to talk to
I'm in an awful way

"Around The World"

"Around The World"



Around the world I searched for you
I traveled on but hope was gone
to keep a rendez-vous

I knew sometime, some place, some how
you'd look at me, and I would see the smile
you're smiling now

it might have been in ...
or in New York, or in Paris, or even London town
no longer will I go all around the world
for I've found my world in you

(with background vocals)
Around the world I searched for you
I traveled on but hope was gone
to keep a rendez-vous

I knew somewhere, some time, some how
you'd look at me, and I would see the smile
you're smiling now

it might have been in ...
or in New York, or in Paris, or even London town
no longer will I go all around the world
for I've found my world in you
I've found my world, found my world in you

"Arrivederci, Roma (Goodbye To Rome)"

"Arrivederci, Roma (Goodbye To Rome)"



Arrivederci Roma,
Goodbye, goodbye to Rome

City of a million moonlit places
City of a million warm embraces
Where I found the one of all the faces
Far from home

Arrivederci Roma
It's time for us to part

Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning in her heart

City of a million moonlit places
City of a million warm embraces
Where I found the one of all the faces
Far from home

Arrivederci Roma
It's time for us to part

Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning in her heart

Arrivederci roma,
Roma, roma, roma

"Baby, Won't You Please Come Home"

"Baby, Won't You Please Come Home"



Baby won't you please come home
cause your bed is alone
I have tried so hard in vain
Nevermore to call your name.
When you left, you broke my heart,
oh darling why do have to part.
Every hour in the day you can hear me say,
Baby, won't you please come home?

I mean, baby, won't you please come home?
cause your dad is so alone
I tried so hard in vain
nevernomore to call you name
now when you left me you just broke my heart
why did we have to part
every hour in the day
people way across the street
if you loved me you better come home

"Bali Ha'i"

"Bali Ha'i"



Bali Ha'i may call you
any night, any day
In your heart you'll hear it call you
Come away, come away

Bali Ha'i will whisper
on the wind of the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me

Your own special hopes
your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillside
and shine in the streets
If you try you'll find me
where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
come to me, come to me

Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i

If you try you'll find me
where the sky meets the sea
here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me

Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i

"Bill Bailey"

"Bill Bailey"



it's time you went home, Bill Bailey
it's time you went home
you got a woman there that moans the whole night long
she said she'd do the cooking, Billy
said she'd pay the rent
she realizes that she done you wrong, yeah

stop thinking about that lonely evening
that she drove you out
with nothing but a fine toothcomb
oh then I know that's a shame, Bill
maybe you're the blame, Bill
so Bailey go on home

it's time you went home Bill Bailey
it's time you home
you got a woman there she's moaning and a groaning
the whole night long
said she'd do that cooking, Billy
pay the telephone bill and the rent
she realizes that she done you wrong

stop thinking about that lonely evening
that she drove you out
and remember, remember she didn't let you leave
without that fine tooth comb

And I know, I know
I know it's a shame
maybe you're to blame, Bill
and Bailey won't you go on home
Bailey won't you get on home
Bailey go on home

"Blowin' In The Wind"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"Blowin' In The Wind"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



How many roads must a man walk down
Before he's called a man
Tell me, how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Tell me, how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
No, the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer: blowin' in the wind

How many times must a man look above
Before he sees the sky
Tell me, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
What I wanna know is
How many deaths will it take 'til he knows
Too many people have died
Oh, the
No, the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer: somewhere in the the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed out to the sea
Tell me, how many years can people exist
Before they are allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
Pretending that he just doesn't see
Oh, the answer, my friend, blowin' in whe wind
The answer: blowin' in the wind

Blowin' in the wind, blowin' in the wind
The answer: somewhere in the wind
That answer is somewhere in the wind

"Blue Moon"

"Blue Moon"



Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
You heard me sing a prayer
For someone I really care for

Then suddenly there appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
Then I heard somebody whisper:
„Please adore me!“ and when I looked
The moon had turned to gold

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
