| Kelly
(Del Shannon) Recorded by Tony & The Graduates 1965 - King KG1014 / Sentimental Me _____________________________________ Kelly and I meet secretly We stay out of sight, When we're in each others arms We know it isn't right; We are so in love But he loves you too, How can I tell my best friend That I'm in love with you? He's told me of your sweet caress And of your lovely eyes, Just how long can we go on Telling him all these lies? We are so in love But he loves you too How can I tell my best friend That I'm in love with you Oh, Kelly, please, please tell me We gotta find a way, Tell me what can I say Oh, Kelly. He's coming home tomorrow night He's been gone so long We could get away tonight To run would be so wrong We are so in love But he loves you too How can I tell my best friend That I'm in love with you? Oh, Kelly, please, please tell me We gotta find a way Tell me what can we say Oh, Kelly Oh, Kelly Oh, Kelly (Originally recorded by Del Shannon) |

| Winter Winds Recorded by Michael Conn, Joe Doherty and The Millionaires 1966 - Pye 7N17208 / Chime Bells ____________________________________________________ The prairie is covered by a purple gown As I ride through the hills today, The summer is over and the nights are long And we know that winter’s on its way. The silence is broken by a dingo’s call Way up in the mountains high, Leisurely strumming on my old guitar And the winter winds are blowing again. When the winter winds are blowing from the west And the pale moon rises o’er the mountain crest I cover my pony with a rug of fur Roll up in my blankets then, The summer is over and the nights grow long And the winter winds are blowing again. |

| So Many Ways Recorded by Butch Moore & The Capitol Showband 1965 - 7N15990 / Granada ____________________________________________ Your lips on mine are soft as dew, Your kiss is so divine, Your eyes are like the skies of blue And stars that brightly shine Your voice is sweet like violins, And warm like summer days And I love you, I love you, I love you In oh so many, many ways. Your touch is like a breath of spring, You give life to my soul, To me sweetheart you’re everything I ever hoped to hold. A smile from you lights up my heart And lightens all my days, And I love you, I love you, I love you In oh so many, many ways. If words could say how much I care, My dear you’d be amazed, And I love you, I love you, I love you In oh so many, many ways. (Originally recorded by Brook Benton) |

| The Ballad of Amelia Earhart Recorded by George Kaye & The Smokey Mountain Ramblers 1968 - DOS5 / Bile Them Cabbage Down __________________________________________________________________ A ship out on the ocean, just a speck against the sky, Amelia Earhart flying that sad day; With her partner, Captain Noonan, on the second of July Her ship fell in the ocean, far away. About half an hour later her SOS was heard, Her signals weak, but still her voice was brave. In shark-infested waters her plane came down that night In the blue Pacific Ocean far away. There's a beautiful, beautiful field Far away in a land that is fair. Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart, Farewell, first lady of the air. Now you have heard my story of that awful tragedy, We prayed that she'd fly home safe again. And in years to come, when others blaze a trail across the sea, Well ne'er forget Amelia and her plane. Theres a beautiful, beautiful field . . . (Originally recorded by Kinky Friedman as Amelia Earhart's Last Flight) |
