"Nobody's Heart"

"Nobody's Heart"

Nobody's heart belongs to me
Hiegh Ho; Who cares?
Nobody writes his songs to me,
No one belongs to me.
That's the least of my cares.
I may be sad at times,
And disinclined to play,
But it's not bad at times,
To go your own sweet way.
Nobody's arms belong to me
No arms feel strong to me.
I admire the moon as a moon, just a moon.
Nobody's heart belongs to me....today.

"O Christmas Tree"

"O Christmas Tree"

O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are
Your branches!
Your boughs are green
In summer's clime
And through the snows
Of wintertime.
O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are
Your branches!

O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me
When oft at
Joyous Christmas-time
Your form inspires
My song and rhyme.
O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me

O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can
Teach a lesson
That constant faith
And hope sublime
Lend strength and
Comfort through all time.
O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can
Teach a lesson

"Oh, You Crazy Moon"

"Oh, You Crazy Moon"

When they met, the way they smiled
I saw that I was through
Oh, you crazy moon
What did you do

And when they kissed, they tried to say
That it was just in fun
Oh, you crazy moon
Look what you've done

Once you promised me, you know
That it would never end
You should be ashamed to show
Your funny face my friend

Well, there they are, they fell in love
I guess that you think that you're smart
Oh, you crazy moon
You broke my heart

"Ol' Man River"

"Ol' Man River"

Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He must know somethin' but he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin', keeps on rollin' along.
He don't plant tatters, and he don't plant cotton
and them that plants'em, are soon forgotten.
But Ol' Man River, just keeps rollin' along.

You and me, we sweat and strain,
Bodies all achin' and racked with pain.
Tote that barge and lift that bail.
You get a little drunk and you lands in jail.
I gets weary and sick of trying
I'm tired of livin', feared of dyin'
And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin'
just keeps rollin'
just keeps rollin' along.

"Old Devil Moon"

"Old Devil Moon"

I look at you and suddenly,
Something in your eyes I see;
Soon begins bewitching me.
It's that old devil moon;
That you stole from the skies.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
You and you glance;
Make this romance;
Too hot to handle.
Stars in the night;
Blazing their light;
Can't hold a candle;
To your razzle-dazzle.
You've got me flyin' high and wide;
On a magic carpet ride;
Full of butterflies inside.
Wanna cry, wanna croon,
Wanna laugh like a loon.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
Just when I think, I'm;
Free as a dove.
Old devil moon,
Deep in your eyes,
Blinds me with love.

"On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)"

"On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)"

On a clear day,
Rise and look around you,
And you'll see who you are.

On a clear day,
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being outshines every star.

You'll feel part of every mountain,
Sea and shore,
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never heard before.

And on a clear day,
On that clear day,
You can see forever,
And ever more.

"On Green Dolphin Street"

"On Green Dolphin Street"

It seems like a dream
Yet I know it happened
A man, a maid, a kiss, and then goodbye
Romance was the theme
And we were the players
I never think of this without a sigh

Lover, one lovely day
Love came planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting

And through these moments apart
Memories live in my heart
When I recall the love I found on,
I could kiss the ground on,
Green Dolphin Street

"On The Other Side Of The Tracks"

"On The Other Side Of The Tracks"

But my heart says, “Reach for the stars”
And my heart I cannot deny
Though its my hard luck
That I’m stuck
On the farthest one in the sky

So my eyes are destined to wander
And my brain no more to relax
For there’s nothing farther out yonder
Than the other side of the tracks

On the other side of the tracks
It’s a long and difficult climb
But the air up there on the bill of faire
Is a choice of lemon and lime

And the muscles keeping your nose up
Are the only muscles you tax
Oh I envy someone who grows up
On the other side of the tracks

So I’m off and running
Over the rail
I’m going gunning
After the quail
Off and running
Send me the mail

To the great big world
On the other side
To the great big world
On the farther side
To the great big world
On the other side of the tracks

One more time!

To the great big world
On the other side
The great big world
On the farther side
The great big world
On the other side of the tracks

"On The Sunny Side Of The Street"
(feat. Willie Nelson)

"On The Sunny Side Of The Street"
(feat. Willie Nelson)

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear the pit-a-pat?
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid
Because this rover crossed over

And if I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
With gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid
Because this rover crossed over

And if I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
With gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
