| The Streets Of Baltimore
(Harlan
Howard & Tompall Glazer) Recorded by Des Kelly & The Capitol Showband 1967 - Pye 7N17257 / McAlpine’s Fusiliers __________________________________________________ I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee I bought the one way tickets she had often begged me for And they took us to the streets of Baltimore Her heart was filled with laughter when I saw those city lights She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for And I tried to like the streets of Baltimore I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine We bought a little cottage in a neighbourhood serene But every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore Well, I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be But, I soon learned she loved those bright lights much, much more than she loved me Now I'm goin' back on that same train that brought me here before While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore, Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore. |

| If I Didn't Have A Dime Recorded by Tom Dunphy & The Royal Showband 1965 - His Master’s Voice IP1296 / What Will My Mary Say ? ______________________________________________________________ If I didn't have a dime,and I didn't take the time to play the jukebox, Wo-o-oh Saturday night would have been a sad and lonely night for me; And if I didn't see you there ruby lips and golden hair, beside the juke box Wo-o-oh I would have lost my chance to hold you while you danced with me. While the records turned and turned we danced and learned, Our hearts had yearned for this, 'Neath the moon we walked and walked and talked of love, And then...we kissed, Now with every sweet caress oh my darling how I've blessed that little jukebox Wo-o-oh love songs that they sing wouldn't mean a single thing Even though you're standing there ruby lips and golden hair If I didn't have a dime and I didn't take the time...to play the juke box (Originally recorded by Gene Pitney) |

| If I Could Choose
(Michael Coffey & Wesley Burrowes) Recorded by Seán Dunphy 1967 - Pye 7N17291 / Yellow Bandana ____________________________________________________ They envy me the hills of Clare, The white gulls calling in the soft sea air, So much to lose, And yet I'd leave the hills of Clare And live in a desert if I had you there, What would I lose if I could choose? If I could choose a place to walk with you, I'd choose the longest road And it would lead us to a house that no-one knew. Bellows by the fire and the turf smoke rising higher Than the lark that wings and always sings of you. If I could choose a time to talk with you, I'd choose the longest day, And over all the hills of Clare I'd shout the news. I would tell them that our day could last forever And I'd never leave your side if I could choose |

| No One Will Ever Know Recorded by Sonny Knowles & The Pacific Showband 1965 - Pye 7N15780 / If You Knew _________________________________________ No one will ever know my heart is breaking Although a million teardrops start to fall, I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling I miss you but no one will ever know. I'll tell them we grew tired of each other And realised our dreams could never be; I'll even make believe I never loved you Then no one will ever know the truth but me Repeat from "I'll tell them we...." (Originally recorded by Eddie Arnold) |

| Red Red Wine
(Neil Diamond) Recorded by Simon Scott & The Plattermen Dolphin DOS20 / Yesterday Girl _______________________________________ Red, red wine Go to my head Make me forget that I Still need her so, Red, red wine It’s up to you All I can do, I’ve done But memories won’t go, No, memories won’t go. I’d have sworn that with time Thoughts of you would leave my head, I was wrong and I find Just one thing makes me forget, Red, red wine Stay close to me, Don’t let me be alone, It’s tearing apart My blue, blue heart. |
