Oh Bess, Where's My Bess?

Oh, Bess, oh, where's my Bess?
Won't somebody tell me where?
I ain't care what she say, I ain't care what she done
Won't somebody tell me where's my Bess? Bess

My Bess, I want her now
Without her I can't go on
I counted the days that I was gone
Till I got home to see her face

Won't somebody tell me where's my Bess?
I want her so, my gal, my Bess
Where is she?

Oh, Lord, in your big heaven
Please show me where I must go
Oh, give me the strength, show me the way

Tell me the truth, where is she?
Where is my gal?

Oh How I Miss You Tonight

Oh, how I miss you tonight, miss you while lights are low,
Oh, how I need you tonight, more than you'll ever know.
Each moment, though we're apart, you're never out of my heart.
But I'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only,
My dear, how I miss you tonight.

[musical interlude]

Each moment, though we're apart, you're never out of my heart.
But I'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only,
My dear, how I miss you tonight.

Oh You Crazy Moon

When they met, the way they smiled
I saw that I was through
Oh, you crazy moon
What did you do

And when they kissed, they tried to say
That it was just in fun
Oh, you crazy moon
Look what you've done

Once you promised me, you know
That it would never end
You should be ashamed to show
Your funny face my friend

(And) There they are, they fell in love
I guess you think that you're smart
Oh, you crazy moon
You broke my heart

Oh! Look At Me Now

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than Casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest

So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

And I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than Casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest

So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
Look at me now!

Oh! What A Beautiful Morning

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky

Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way

All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree
And the little ole willow is laughin' at me

Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way



Oh, what a beautiful mornin', what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way

Oh! What It Seemed To Be

It was just a neighborhood dance
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a masquerade ball
With costumes and all
'Cause you were at the dance with me
It was just a ride on a train
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a trip to the stars
To Venus and Mars
'Cause you were on the train with me
And when I kissed you, darling
It was more than just a thrill for me
It was the promise, darling
Of the things that fate had willed for me
It was just a wedding in June
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a royal affair
With everyone there
'Cause you said "Yes, I do" to me

Ol' Macdonald

Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm there was a chick
The purtiest chick I know
With a little curve here and a little curve there
This chick, she had curves everywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

And oh, this chick, she had a walk, E-I-E-I-O
And how this walk would drive 'em wild swingin' to and 'fro
With a little wiggle here and a little wiggle there
Man, this chick had wiggles to spare
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

When she went walkin' into town, E-I-E-I-O
The local gentry popped their eyes
Tarnation, what a show
With a "goldang" here and a "goshdarn" there
"Heavens to Betsy" I do declare
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O

There was a barn dance Saturday night, E-I-E-I-O
And the fellas came from miles around
Just to see her do-si-do
With a promenade here and a promenade there
At a square dance, boy, this chick was no square
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

I used to be a travelling man, E-I-O
Until I hit MacDonald's place things were mighty slow
With a little chick here and a little chick there
I didn't have a real chick anywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

This farmer's daughter knocked me out, E-I-E-I-O, ah-hah
I asked MacDonald for her hand
And Pappy hollered "Go!"
With a little curve here and a little wiggle there
A "goldang" here and a "goshdarn" there
A do-si-do here and a promenade there
Got my own private county fair
'cause ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-O-I-O!!

Ol' Man River

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day

Don't look up and don't look down
You don't das make the boss man frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until your dead

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross.

Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant tatters, and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants em, are soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River, just keeps rollin' along

You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and racked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bail
You get a little drunk and you lands in jail

I gets weary, and sick of trying
I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin'
But Ol' Man River, he just keeps rolin' along

Old Devil Moon

I look at you and suddenly,
Something in your eyes I see;
Soon begins bewitching me.
It's that old devil moon;
That you stole from the skies.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.

You and you glance;
Make this romance;
Too hot to handle.
Stars in the night;
Blazing their light;
Can't hold a candle;
To your razzle-dazzle.

You've got me flyin' high and wide;
On a magic carpet ride;
Full of butterflies inside.
Wanna cry, wanna croon,
Wanna laugh like a loon.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.

Just when I think, I'm;
Free as a dove.
Old devil moon,
Deep in your eyes,
Blinds me with love.

On A Clear Day (you Can See Forever)

On a clear day,
rise and look around you,
and you'll see who you are.
On a clear day,
how it will astound you
That the glow of your BEING outshines every star.
You'LL FEEL PART OF every mountain,
sea and shore,
You CAN HEAR from far and hear a WORLD you've never HEARD before.
On a clear day,
on a clear day,
you can see forever,
and ever, and ever more.
