Sarah Carey
(Lead vocal by Martha Trachtenberg)
To the west with his dream, to his
bride-to-be, Youngman Connor rode.
Meant to marry, Sarah Carey.
And he rode straight and true,
through to Cumberland, for love it drove him on
Momma’s Scripture, portrait
of his sister, Daddy’s rifle- his Kentucky Long.
No law, no justice on
the wilderness side – came gunman plundering
Poor Sarah
watched and wept as her daddy died, the pistol thundering.
Almost there, with a prayer as the
sun set, and the rain began to fall
Darlin’ Sarah, so much I long
to share, count the blessings in this new frontier
Nowhere to hide, door
open wideand she ran – one witness to her fate.
Out in the darkness, in the
cold and the rain . . .stood Youngman at the gate.
It
all came down to single round, Youngman trembled, the rifle in his hands
Lord please find me, don’t
let this darkness blind me, pray deliver, in my time of need.
Guide me through, let my shot ring
true, as it’s written, an eye for an eye
Chain lighting lit the sky, a
glorious site, and Youngman found his man
Long Rifle roared with
vengeance into the night and then to Sarah he ran…he ran
To
the west, with his dream to his bride-to-be, Youngman Connor rode
There he married Sarah Carey .
Ducky (You Be Beautiful Too)
Here you go again, runnin’ to
your room and then
Hidin’out, you ride it out
Curled up deep inside of your own
little world
Push it all away, every thing you
heard ‘em say
Let it drop, make it stop
Never, let ’em see how it hurts
little girl
I know it’s
tough for you in school
I know
those kids can be so cruel
The little pretty ones, pointin’
fingers poking fun
Put you down, push you around
And nothing you can do can make
them take it all back
Laughin’ at your hair,
laughin’ at the clothes you wear but
They don’t know, nothing
though,
Deep inside you’re diamonds
and gold . . that’s a fact
I know
they’re treating so bad
I know it’s
making you so sad
But Ducky you be strong
And Ducky you be true and
And Ducky – you be
beautiful too
Like a precious pearl, the beauty
lies within you girl
Let it out, never doubt
A better day is comin’ girl
just give it some time
So I don’t wanna see another
tear don’t wanna hear no
Sighin’ now, cryin’ now
Cause baby don’t you know
that this all works out fine
And all
this gray will turn to blue
And all
your sun come shinin’ through
So
Ducky you be strong
And
Ducky you be true and
And
Ducky – you be beautiful too
Yeah,
Ducky you stand tall
And
Ducky you get through
And
Ducky – you be beautiful too
Instrumental Section…
So Gimme a smile
Bah-dah da da dah,,,
And all
this gray will turn to blue
And all
your sun come shinin’ through
But
Ducky you be strong
And
Ducky you be true and
And
Ducky – you be beautiful too
Yeah,
Ducky you stand tall
And
Ducky you get through
And
Ducky – you be beautiful, Ducky you be beautiful, Ducky you be beautiful too
Sheila (give me back my heart)
Give me back my heart if you don’t want it anymore
Take away these chains if you don’t need me like before
You know that lover’s song you used to sing, well I can’t hear it
anymore but
the bell still rings, still rings for you…
Give me back my life if you won’t share yours anymore
I’ll give you back your key, if you don’t want me at your door
They say the truth can be a bitter pill, though it may hurt me baby it don’t
kill so
tell me, tell me, tell me true…
Sheila - say what’s on your mind
Sheila - am I gonna find
that I’ve been loved but lost and left behind
Sheila – it’s gotta be this way
Sheila – no matter what you say
I’ll always love you like I do and it’s true – just you…
You know that lover’s song you used to sing, well I can’t hear it
anymore but
the bell still rings, still rings, for you… so please…tell me …
Sheila - say what’s on your mind
Sheila - am I gonna find
that I’ve been loved but lost and left behind
Sheila – it’s gotta be this way
Sheila – no matter what you say
I’ll always love you like I do and it’s true – just you…
I’ll always love you like I do and it’s true
Somewhere
South (of True Love and Romance)
(lead vocal Ami Jane Russell - Jim
Walther on backup vocals)
The highways of my heart, well they don't run through true love's ways
and every intersection leads to lonely nights and desperate days...
(They say) some roads may end in love, that precious, everlasting kind
but I can't seem to find the sign that points the way . . . to mine.
Well, I’ve done my share of cryin’, I’ve had my poor heart shattered, I've
lost the things that mattered one too many times - I'm heading South.
Down Solo Avenue, then up through Disillusioned Lane
Yeah, I’ve paid a toll at every stop I’ve made . . . along the way.
Well, I know what I’ve been missin’, I know what I’ve been hopin’
That southbound lane is open baby that is where I’m bound…I’m heading
Somewhere, south of “True love” and “Romance”, shy of
“Heartbreak”
and far from “Promises un-kept”.
Somewhere, right outside “Wild Abandon”, straight through “Passion”,
and deep down into “No regrets”.
I’ve been thinkin’ bout a change, a new direction I might take…
I think I'm gonna cruise the wild and wicked streets … of my Southern States
Cause, I’ve had enough of heartache
I’ve had enough of sorrow
I know that my tomorrow brings nothing but the same…so I’m heading
Somewhere, south of “True love” and “Romance”, shy of
“Heartbreak”
and far from “Promises un-kept”.
Somewhere, right outside “Wild Abandon”, straight through “Passion”,
and deep down into “No regrets”
A Good Run
(back up vocals Laura Hull, drums/percussion
Joe Scott)
It’s been a good run, better than most get.
A promise each sunrise, a comfort each sunset
It’s been a long road, and I’ve walked that fine line
It’s been a good, good run.
Been dealt a fair hand, there’s little I regret
I’ve held my child close, no stronger does love get
For every dark day, then always the sun shined
it’s been a good, good run
Bridge:
Never been a lucky one like some seventh son of a seventh son
but I‘ve had a dream or two of mine come true just like any one.
Wouldn’t trade this life of mine for another place or another time
Cause here I find, satisfied mind.
Ever the winds change and ever the tides turn
Fortune may follow or fortune may fade
Maybe my luck holds or maybe this all folds
But it’s been a good, good run
(instrumental)
Wouldn’t trade this life of mine for another place or another time
Cause here I find, satisfied mind.
It’s been a good run, mmm mmm mmm
Santa Fe
(vocal Kathy Fleischmann )
I'm missing my Santa Fe, and the world I knew in a
better day.
My heart aches for Santa Fe, and I'm going home, yes
I'm going home.
They said we were almost through, we'd be shipping
out in a week or two.
I knelt by my tent and prayed for my Western World .
. . and my Western Ways.
There, where the setting sun lays carpets of
gold.
Where the Rio Grande, runs straight through my
soul.
Santa Fe, Santa Fe.
I carried the picture close, a reminder here of what
matters most -
the photo of you and me on that final day, down in
Santa Fe..
I stared at the city fires and the darkened smoke
from the temple spires.
I fell as the shot rang out, and I slipped away, to
my Santa Fe.
There, where the setting sun lays carpets of
gold.
Where the Rio Grande, runs straight through my
soul.
Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Santa Fe.
I'm walking in Santa Fe, in the world I know and the
place I'll stay.
My heart rests in Santa Fe, now I'm home, yes I'm
home.
A Simple Explanation
(vocal Laura Hull)
I could write a letter
A simple explanation
Maybe you would find it comforting.
Once my life was shining
Once the music filled me
Once you were a part of everything
and then the waves came…rolling, crashing, pounding, smashing…
And then the world changed - your voice, your touch, your eyes…fading.
I said “I can’t see you anymore. Baby, I can’t see you anymore”.
I could make things better
A little consolation
Surely you would find it comforting
Winter Times Three
(vocal Martha Trachtenberg)
A blanket of blue for her love she wove, a
gift for his going away.
A farmer he was but the war had come and they
called him "to soldier" that day.
Choices were few - run away, join the Gray,
join the Blue.
The Union Band played as they marched that
day
and many farewells could be heard
"A blanket my love, a reminder of the
warmth and the woman that waits"
"Woman abide, when this ends I'll return
to your side".
He'll return, He'll return someday.
Maybe Summer, oh maybe Winter …
he'll find a way.
He'll find a way.
Winter times three since he went away and
Winter times three did she wait
The child in her arms with his father's name
and the dream of the day they would meet,
all that remained and the promise to find her
again.
He'll return, He'll return someday.
Maybe Summer, child maybe Winter "he'll
find a way. He'll find a way".
A rider appeared on an Autumn morn and slowly
he came into view,
Tattered and torn such a sight forlorn then
he smiled and she suddenly knew.
"promise kept true" - he was
wrapped in a blanket of blue.
Under Blue, Blue Moon
(vocal Kathy Fleischmann)
Somethin's broken in this tired town, the rain keeps
fallin' and the sun stays down,
the crop is thin, and the lights grow dim under
blue, blue moon.
Main and Maple - there's a single store, just the
basics no one needin' more.
The faded "Welcome" in the window glows
under blue, blue moon.
This old town had its day. This old town fades away
beneath a blanket blue and gray.
Cotton King in all the glory days, the bitter
harvest with its toll to pay.
All left abandoned and then set ablaze under blue,
blue moon.
Gone the Manor, gone the servants too - the land
forsaken by the chosen few.
Those remaining learned that nothing grew under
blue, blue moon.
This old town had its day. This old town fades away
beneath a blanket blue and gray.
Americana with a twist of fate, the rusted hinges on
the busted gates,
two battered pickups on a moonlight date under blue,
blue moon.
Quarter mile from county line, beyond the highway
and mobile sign,
a couple stranded with the ghosts of time, under
blue blue moon.
This old town had its day. This old town fades away,
this old town had its day . . .
Twenty Degrees
Twenty Degrees, and
I’m waiting out in this cold. Twenty Degrees, and I’m countin’ on you to
show.
Maybe you’ll will,
maybe you won’t, well I don’t know. But baby you’re late, and I’m
wonderin’ should I go…
Well I can’t
walk that lonely road no more.
Can’t I hope for
something more somehow…oh, oh, oh
Startin’ to
snow, it’s blowing all down the street. It’s a Cold hearted town, barely a
pulse, barely a beat.
A fitting farewell , so
darlin’ don’t cha be long. Put this wind to your back, yeah, it’s
time to be movin’ on.
Take my hand and come away
with me…
Find the place we were
meant to be…oh, oh, oh lets go.
Twenty Degrees, and
I’m waiting out in this cold.
Maybe you’ll show,
maybe you won’t, well I don’t know. But I’ve gotta believe, so I’ll
give it a minute more…
Ride That Train
(vocal Larry Ytuarte with Manny/Laura Hull backup vocals)
Why I ride, Ha ! I can't say
maybe it's the Clickety, clickety, clackety song the iron plays
Or the fading towns behind me and the promise of a new life found along the way.
Westward ho Hey!– that's what they say
Maybe Amarillo, maybe San Antone or Santa Fe.
When that whistle starts a blowing I know it's time for goin', rollin' on.
Yeah, I'm gonna ride that train again Yeah, I'm gonna ride that train again
Gonna Take the Line that never ends – yeah, I'm gonna ride that train again.
In the wind, ha! It's all I know
Rollin' over hills, over plains, over borders there I go
And a comfort does surround me, like a fortune all around me when we roll
Yeah, I'm gonna ride that train again Yeah, I'm gonna ride that train again
Gonna Take the Line that never ends – yeah, I'm gonna ride that train again.
Woman don't cha cry, Ha! Time has come
It's better for us both if I just collect my things and run.
Where the world will never find me, I don't need a star to guide me, these tracks are
right beside me all the way.
Yeah, I'm gonna ride that train again Yeah, I'm
gonna ride that train again
Gonna Take the Line that never ends – yeah, I'm gonna ride that train again.
Dale and
Roy (Music/lyrics Ken/Manuel Ytuarte)
(vocal
Manny with Laura Hull)
Dale
I've been trying, hoping you'd return my call.
Dale
quit your hiding, it's a crime to make a grown man crawl.
You,
got no reason to lock me from you lovin' ways.
You,
your heart is freezin' don't make me wait another day
Roy, in
the city, I really love the life I found.
Roy, if
you were with me, you'd only try to bring me down..
I can
make a new start, if you'd only let me try.
I could
play a new part, the part of me that needs to fly.
Just let
me fade from your picture - I don't need no man, you can be sure!.
Girl
From The North-County Line
(vocal
Laura Hull)
When the
winter calls, and the snow first falls
Under
blankets of white, in the quiet of night he recalls.
Was a
time of love, hearts so young, stars above
but the
fragile world shattered and all that had mattered was gone.
With the
girl from the North County Line
Yes the
girl, not the marrying kind.
And she
talked about a life outside our town.
Like the
Great Divide, on the farthest side
of a
mountain, a valley, an ocean, a trail he can't find.
Gone the
girl from the North County Line
Yes the
girl, not the marrying kind
How she
talked about a life outside our town.
And the
seasons fly, and the years go by.
He still
thinks of the look in her eyes as her train pulled away.
Louisiana
(vocal Laura Hull)
Rows and rows of weeping willow, I'm lying on
my pillow, daydreaming
Summer days C'est savoir faire, blue-eyed boys with golden hair in my daydream.
I know my work has gone undone, I know the fields have been left behind. and oh Louisiana,
just killing time.
The hammock gently sways, somewhere the music plays such a sweet thing.
Beneath the shady trees, my baby waits for me, in my daydream.
Another day slides by, a small delay in this working life , oh Louisiana, God's blessed
your skies.
A whisper on the breeze, so softly calls to me . . . in my daydream.
Don't leave me, lover stay. Don't waste this precious day or this sweet dream.
I know my work has gone undone, I know the fields have been left behind and oh
Louisiana, just killing time.
oh Louisiana, just killing time.
I Don't
Know Why
Baby know your love is good but your love it
hurts me too
Maybe that's why I wonder if we'll ever see this
through.
I don't know why, I'm tangled up inside
Maybe it's the way you hold me close and love me
through the night.
Maybe it's the way you look at me when things ain't
going right.
I don't know why, I'm tangled up inside I don't know
why, you're never satisfied.
Maybe this love is wrong Maybe the time's not
right
Maybe we're not that strong but baby just hold on
tight
baby there's the way you come to me with loving
sweet and fine
but baby there's the way you turn your back and
don't pay me no mind.
I don't know why, I'm tangled up inside.
That's The Way It Should Be
We've been standing on the party line all
day, all day
We've been drinking just to pass the time all
day, all day
And that's the way it should be, that's the
way it's gonna stay
We've got something that a man can t buy all
day, all day
We keep pumpin' till the well goes dry all
day, all day
And that's the way it should be, that's the
way it's gonna stay
Relax a little boy. Cool down, cool down,
cool down.
Wake up that tired horn. Make some funky
sounds
We've been standing on the party line all
day, all day
We've been drinking just to pass the time all
day, all day
And that's the way it should be, that's the
way it's gonna stay!
