| Ebony Eyes Recorded by Brendan O'Brien & The Dixies _____________________________________________________________ On a weekend pass I wouldn’t have had time To get home and marry that baby of mine, So I went to the chaplain and he authorized Me to send for my ebony eyes. My ebony eyes is coming to me From out of the skies on Flight 1203; In an hour or two I will whisper “I do” To my beautiful ebony eyes. SPOKEN: The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines desk and I said 'Sir, I wonder why 1203 is so late?' He said 'Aw, they probably took off late or they may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter their course'. I went outside to the gate and I watched the beacon light as it whipped through the dark ebony skies as if it were searching for (my ebony eyes); And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker— “Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203, please report to the chapel across the street at once.” Then I felt a burning deep down inside And I knew the heavenly ebony skies Had taken my life’s most wonderful prize My beautiful ebony eyes. If I ever get to heaven I’ll bet The first angel I’ll recognize; She’ll smile at me and I know she will be My beautiful ebony eyes (Originally recorded by the Everly Brothers) |

| Indian Lake Recorded by The Freshmen 1969 - Pye 7N17689 / Just To See You Smile ______________________________________________________________ You take a bus marked "Lakewood Drive" And you keep on drivin' till you're out of the city, Where the air is fine with the sweet smelling pine And the countryside's pretty; And you'll see daffodils peeping over the hills Or a honey lovin' mama bear You take a left at the bridge, go down to Quakerforn Ridge And in a minute you're there... Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one, Keep it in mind if you're looking to find a place in the summer sun; Swim in the cove have a snack in the grove or you can rent a canoe At Indian Lake you'll be able to make the way the Indians do. (Originally recorded by The Cowsills) |

| Quick Joey Small Recorded by The Real McCoy 1968 - Target 7N17669 / Happiness Is Love __________________________________________________ Quick Joey Small Went over the wall With a ball and chain behind him Quick Joey Small went over the wall, Sent the dogs right out to find him In a striped prison suit with no loot, to boot, He headed for the highway, With his chains still draggin’ he thumbed down a wagon, Said, "When are you goin’ my way?" And they say now, Chorus: Run, Joey!, Joey, run run, The hounds are on your trail! (Jump up! Jump out!) Run, Joey! Joey, run run, They’re gonna send him back to jail! Sheriff got a shotgun (He do), He fill you full of lead, son (It’s true), He also gotta blackjack (He’s mad), He bust your head with one whack (And that’s that). Chorus Sweet Mary Jane might have gone insane When she heard of Joey’s jailbreak, But she knew all the while, ‘cos she sent him a file Baked inside a fudge cake (And they say, now --) Chorus (Oh,) Sheriff Jack Banes wasn’t [right on?] brains But he knew one thing for sure, He took some toughs and a pair a’ hand cuffs And heads for Mary Jane’s door (And they say, now --) Chorus (Originally recorded by Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus) |
