I'm a sentimental sap that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall I have no will, you made your kill 'Cause you took advantage of me I'm just like an apple on a bough And you're gonna shake me down somehow So what's the use, you cooked my goose 'Cause you took advantage of me I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know My elbow from my ear I suffer something awful each time you go And much worse when you're near Here I am with all my bridges burned Just a babe in arms where you're concerned So lock the doors and call me yours 'Cause you took advantage of me I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know My elbow from my ear I suffer something awful each time you go And much worse when you're near Here I am with all my bridges burned Just a babe in arms where you're concerned So lock the doors and call me yours 'Cause you took advantage of me Yeah you took advantage of me Oh you took advantage of me |

You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two The thrill of the thought That you might give a thought To my plea casts a spell over me Still I say to myself "Get a hold of yourself Can't you see that it never can be" You go to my head With a smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand July's You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance In this crazy romance You go to my head |

Can't you see he doesn't care
He likes to play with you that's all He's waiting on someone else's call He's playing it cool Why's it so hard to reach you? Why are you still out there Beating your heart against the wall Waiting for Jericho to fall You hard-headed fool Didn't your mama teach you Anything at all You can't treat the wrong man right Or change a devil to an angel overnight He'll wreck all your best laid plans for spite You can't treat the wrong man right You can't treat the right man wrong When you're out on the town Acting mean and head-strong He'll sit home and wait for you all night long You can't treat the right man wrong I heard it on the telephone A woman was whispering in my ear And though I was trying not to hear The message came through She was someone who knew you I guess she told me everything I wasn't listening anyway I know she had a lot to say But nothing was clear I only remember her voice Above the sound of the pinball Saying to me You can't treat the wrong man right Or change a devil to an angel overnight He'll steal all your love and and fly by night You can't treat the wrong man right You can't treat the right man wrong You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong And he'll be waiting when you come back in sight You can't treat the right man wrong You can't treat the wrong man right |

But the moon is slowly rising So this old world must still be spinning 'round And I still love you So close your eyes You can close your eyes, it's all right I don't know no love songs And I can't sing the blues anymore But I can sing this song And you can sing this song When I'm gone It won't be long before another day We gonna have a good time And no one's gonna take that time away You can stay as long as you like So close your eyes You can close your eyes, it's all right I don't know no love songs And I can't sing the blues anymore But I can sing this song And you can sing this song When I'm gone |

from Linda Ronstadt - Canciones De Mi Padre (1987)
written by Minerva Elizondo
Que diran los de tu casa Cuando mi miran tomando, Pensaran que por tu causa Yo me vivo emborrachando, Y andale... Pero si vieras Como son lindas estas borracheras Y andale... (Coro) Pero hasta cuando Dejan tus padres de andarte cuidando Y andale... Cada vez que vengo a verte Siempre me voy resbalando; O es que tengo mala suerte O es que me esta lloviznando Y andale... Pero si vieras Seco mi chaco en mi higuera floreando Y andale... (Coro) Pero si cuando Seco mi chaco en mi higuera floreando Y andale... Me dices que soy un necio Porque me ando emborrachando, Y a pesar de tus deprecios, Yo quiero seguir tomando, y andale Pero si vieras Como son lindas estas borracheras... Y andale... (Coro) Pero que bellas Paso las horas vaciando botellas Y andale. I am a renowned teetotaler, but I love this drinking song. The use of the word chaco is unusual (it has been defined as organ meat of hunted fowl) and the exact meaning of the refrain it appears in probably has a double connotation. I have opted to sing it here with my niece, Mindy, who at 17 brings a lovely innocence to this tale of gleeful debauchery. L.R. Get On With It What will they say those in your house When they see me drinking, Will they think that it's on account of you That I live my life drinking Get on with it. But if you could see How pretty these binges are Get on with it. (Chorus) But until whenever Your parents stop protecting you Get on with it. Each time that I come to see you I'm always slipping; Is it that I have bad luck Or is it that it's drizzling on me, Get on with it. But if you could see Me dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree grove Get on with it. (Chorus) But if ever I dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree grove, Get on with it. You say that I'm a fool, Because i'm always getting drunk, And in spite of your scorn, I want to keep on drinking, Get on with it. But if you were to see How pretty these binges are, Get on with it. (Chorus) But how beautiful Are the hours I spend emptying bottles, Get on with it. ⓒ 1951 Brandila Musical All rights controlled |

ⓒ 1988 Irving Music Inc/ Hayes Court Music (BMI) Oh the women 'cross the river carry water from the well at break of day And they talk to one another; God only knows what they might say You might get an education after years of dedication You might finally get a glimpse of what is right and what is wrong But the women 'cross the river; well they knew that all along Oh the women 'cross the river work with tools that are ancient and hand-made And they plow their fields in perfect rows and then they rest beneath the shade Now we have learned to build, out of concrete, out of steel And our buildings stand a thousand years but then even they are bound to fall But the women 'cross the river never learned to build a wall Oh the women 'cross the river are as gentle as the dew upon the ground How I love to hear them laughing in the rain when it makes that perfect sound Now a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won Might kill you with a bullet and you never even know the reason why But the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes Oh the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes |

Tu solo tu Has llenado de luto mi vida Abriendo una herida en mi corazon Tu... tu solo tu Eres causa de todo mi llanto De mi descanto y desesperacion. Solo tu sombra fatal Sombra de mal Me sigue por dondequiera Con ostinacion Y por quererte olvidar Me tiro a la borrachera Y a la perdicion. |

Golden sails across the sky Close enough to touch But careful if you try Though she looks as warm as gold The moon's a harsh mistress The moon can be so cold Once the sun did shine And lord it felt so fine The moon a phantom rose Through the mountains and the pine And then the darkness fell The moon's a harsh mistress It's hard to love her well I fell out of her eyes I fell out of her heart I fell down on my face, yes I did And I tripped and I missed my star And I fell and fell alone The moon's a harsh mistress The sky is made of stone The moon's a harsh mistress She's hard to call your own |

Watching the long faces
Riding this run down track And the lost places From a dream that never brings them back And the sad truth is Nothing but a cold hard fact I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train Counting the burned bridges Trailing this rusted wreck As our back pages Scatter in the dust we left Like a pearl necklace Falling from around my neck I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train Away down the low road A ticket to an empty room A rendezvous unknown I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade And I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train |

written by Valeriano Trejo
La huasteca esta de luto Se murio su huapanguero. Ya no se oye aquel falsete Que es el alma del trovero. Rogaciano se llamaba Rogaciano el huapanguero Y eran sones de la sierra Las canciones del trovero. La Azucena y la Cecilia Lloran, lloran sin consuelo Malaguena Salerosa Ya se fue su pregonero. El canal esta en su punto Hoy comienza la molienda El trapiche esta de duelo Y suspira en cada vuelta. Por los verdes cafetales Mas alla de aquel potrero Hay quien dice que de noche Se aparece el huapanguero. La Azucena y la Cecilia Lloran, lloran sin consuelo Malaguena Salerosa Ya se fue su huapanguero. This moody, beautifully haunting huapango was written by Valeriano Trejo, who, according to Ruben Fuentes, is a school teacher. Fuentes recorded it in the 1950's with Miguel Aceves Mejia, another hero of mine. It is one of the songs my brothers and I used to try to harmonize when we were growing up, so I asked them to sing it with me on the record. After knowing it for so long, we've finally learned all the words! It is a tale of the huasteca, a region north of Vera Cruz, Mexico, where the sones huastecos (usually called huapangos) are sung. (See notes on La Calandria for definition of sones.) A huapanguero is a singer of huapangos. The style is characterized by falsetto breaks in the singing. L.R. Rogaciano La huasteca* is in mourning Its huapanguero has died You can no longer hear that falsetto Which is the soul of the troubadour. Rogaciano he was called Rogaciano the huapanguero* And they were sones of the sierra mountains The songs of the troubadours. Azucena and Cecilia Are crying, crying inconsolably Malaguena Salerosa* Their bard has gone. The cane is ready Today begins the milling The sugar mill is in mourning And sighs with each turn. In the green coffee plantations Far beyond that pasture There are those who say that in the nighttime The huapanguero appears. Azucena and Cecilia Are crying, crying inconsolably Malaguena Salerosa* Their bard has left. *huasteca: a region huapanguero: a singer of huapangos ⓒ 1955 Promotora Hispana Americana de Musica S.A.

Rogaciano he was called Rogaciano the huapanguero* And they were sones of the sierra mountains The songs of the troubadours. Azucena and Cecilia Are crying, crying inconsolably Malaguena Salerosa* Their bard has gone. The cane is ready Today begins the milling The sugar mill is in mourning And sighs with each turn. In the green coffee plantations Far beyond that pasture There are those who say that in the nighttime The huapanguero appears. Azucena and Cecilia Are crying, crying inconsolably Malaguena Salerosa* Their bard has left. *huasteca: a region huapanguero: a singer of huapangos ⓒ 1955 Promotora Hispana Americana de Musica S.A.

from Linda Ronstadt - Linda Ronstadt (1995)
Oh people, look around you
The signs are everywhere You've left it for somebody other than you To be the one to care You're lost inside your houses There's no time to find you now Your walls are burning and your towers are turning I'm going to leave you here and try to get down to the sea somehow The road is filled with homeless souls Every woman, child and man Who have no idea where they will go But they'll help you if they can Now everyone must have some thought That's going to pull them through somehow Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now Rock me on the water Sister will you soothe my fevered brow Rock me on the water I'll get down to the sea somehow Oh people, look among you It's there your hope must lie There's a sea bird above you Gliding in one place like Jesus in the sky We all must do the best we can And then hang on to that Gospel plow When my life is over, I'm going to stand before the Father But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now Rock me on the water Sister will you soothe my fevered brow Rock me on the water, maybe I'll remember Maybe I'll remember how Rock me on the water The wind is with me now So rock me on the water I'll get down to the sea somehow |

from Linda Ronstadt - A Merry Little Christmas (2000)
I crossed on the river
There'll be no returning I crossed all the bridges I watched them all burning And now I'm a stranger To a strange land I'm driven Where all is forgotten And nothing's forgiven But I cried a river A river for him That's deeper and wider Than I'll ever swim The heart it will harden The sorrow will dim But I cried a river A river for him I think of him now On the road I am taking And wonder how long His heart will be breaking But he'll never hear when The teardrops are falling Or the sound of my voice Or the name I am calling But I cried a river A river for him That's deeper and wider Than I'll ever swim The heart it will harden The sorrow will dim But I cried a river A river for him So weep for the sons And the dear darling daughters For the passing of time And the parting of waters For all who have passed through This world long before me To a far distant shore line Where no one waits for me But I cried a river A river for him That's deeper and wider Than I'll ever swim The heart it will harden The sorrow will dim But I cried a river A river for him ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By EMMYLOU HARRIS <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

written by Woodie Guthrie, Huddie Ledbetter & Alan Lomax
Ramblin' round your city Ramblin' round your town But I never see a friend I know as I go ramblin' round boys As I go ramblin' round The peach trees they are loaded The branches are bending down Well I pick 'em all day for a dollar, Lord As I go ramblin' round boys As I go ramblin' round Sometimes the fruit gets rotten Falls down on the ground Well there's a hungry mouth for every peach As I go ramblin' round boys As I go ramblin' round My father hoped that I would be Someone of high renown But I am just a refugee As I go ramblin' round boys As I go ramblin' round Ramblin' round your city Ramblin' round your town Well I never see a friend I know As I go ramblin' round boys As I go ramblin' round |

Well I lay my head on the railroad track
Waiting on the Double E But the train don't run by here no more Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Oh these boys won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe woe is me Well I met a man out in Hollywood Now I ain't naming names Well he really worked me over good Just like Jesse James Yes he really worked me over good He was a credit to his gender Put me through some changes Lord Sort of like a Waring blender Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Oh these boys won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe woe is me Well I met a boy in the Vieux Carres Down in Yokohama He picked me up and he threw me down He said "Please don't hurt me Mama" Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Oh these boys won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe woe is me Poor poor poor me Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor poor me Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor poor me Poor poor pitiful me |
