Padre

The day that we wed

You blessed us and said

May heaven bestow you grace

There in that holy place

We shared our first embrace



Our cottage was small but richer than all

The palaces of the king

All day the birds would sing

Our hearts were filled with spring



Padre, padre

What happened to our love's so cruel

Padre, oh padre

In my grief I turn to you



Then he came along

And sang her his song

And won her with honey lies

He of the fiery eyes

Now it's not her that cries



So I will pray

The hours away

And weary my heart has grown

Wondering where love has flown

Counting my beads alone



Padre, oh padre

Please tell me how such things can be

Padre, oh padre

Pray for my love and me



Written by Larue, Webster and Romans









Paradise, Hawaiian Style

Hawaii, U.S.A., Hawaii..U.S.A..

We're flyin', comin' your way

Aloha, Hawaii U.S.A.



Gee it's great, to be in that fiftieth state

The land of enchanted dreams

What an isle, where it's heaven tropical style

Where love weaves a spell, it seems



Hawaii, U.S.A., Hawaii..U.S.A..

We're flyin', comin' your way

Aloha, Hawaii U.S.A.



Gee what fun, just to swim and surf in the sun

While the trade winds caress the sea

What a sight, those exotic scenes of delight

Are waiting for you and me



Hawaii, U.S.A....Hawaii...U.S.A...Hawaii..U.S.A....



Written by Baum, Kaye and Giant



Paralyzed

When you looked into my eyes

I stood there like I was hyp-notised

You sent a feeling to my spine

A feeling warm and smooth and fine

But all I could do were stand there paralyzed

When we kissed, ooh what a thrill

You took my hand and, ooh baby, what a chill

I felt like grabbin' you real tight

Squeeze and squeeze with all my might

But all I could do were stand there paralyzed



Oh yeah lucky me, I知 singing ev'ry day

Ever since that day you came my way

You made my life for me just one big happy game

I'm gay ev'ry morning

At night I知 still the same

Do you remember that wonderful time

You held my hand and swore that you'll be mine

In front of preacher you said

"I do" I couldn't say a word for thinking of you

All I could do was stand there paralyzed



Written by Otis Blackwell and Elvis Presley



Party

I feel it in my leg,

I feel it in my shoe

Tell me pretty baby

If you think you feel it too

Let's have a party

Let's have a party

Send to the store

And let's buy some more

And let's have a party tonight



Some people like to rock

Some people like to roll

But movin' and a groovin'

Gonna satisfy my soul



I've never kissed a bear

I've never kissed a goon

But I can shake a chicken

In the middle of the room



Now Honky Tonky Joe

Is knockin' at the door

Bring him in and fill him up

And set him on the floor



Written by Jessie Robinson



Patch It Up

We've got to patch it up baby

Before we fall apart at the seams

We've got to patch it up baby

In the time we travel in our dreams

Let's go back and test it again

One more ride is all I ask

Get that feelin', that old feelin', it is here



We can patch it up baby, 

We can patch it up baby,

We can patch it up baby, 

Patch it up with all our dreams

We can patch it up baby, 

Sweep out all the trouble of our heart

We've got to patch it up baby, 

Before our difference pulls us apart



Let's go where the good luck lies

Let us give it one more try

Do you feel it? That old feelin'?

Do you feel it?



Written by Bourke and Rabbitt



Peace In The Valley

Oh well, I知 tired and so weary

But I must go alone

Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes

Well the morning's so bright

And the lamp is alight

And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes



There will be peace in the valley for me, some day

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow

No trouble, trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me, for me



Well the bear will be gentle

And the wolves will be tame

And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes

And the beasts from the wild

Shall be lit by a child

And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes



There will be peace in the valley for me, some day

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow

No trouble, trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me, for me



Written by Thomas Dorsey



Petunia The Gardener's Daughter

I've gotta gal, oh what a pal

The apple of my eye

With something rare, a peach of a pear

But her dad won't let us meet and I could die



I love Petunia the gardener's daughter

Oooh how that gal can kiss

Her eyes are blue as bluebells

Each cheek a rose to see

How I dance when she plants her two lips on me

I'm as daffy as a daffodil

I long to kiss her all the time

Tonight I'll steal into her garden

And make Petunia's two lips mine



(I've got a beau, I love him so

The apple of my eye

With something rare, a peach of a pear

But my dad won't let us meet and I could die)



And we could die



I love Petunia the gardener's daughter

Oooh how that gal can kiss

(My eyes are blue as bluebells

Each cheek a rose to see)

How I dance when she plants her two lips on me



(He's as daffy as a daffodil

He loves to kiss me all the time)

Tonight I'll steal into her garden

And make Petunia's two lips mine



She makes other girls look just like weeds

(I'm gonna be his clinging vine)

Tonight I'll steal into her garden

And make Petunia's two lips

(My ever loving two lips)

Make Petunia's two lips mine



Written by Bennett and Tepper



     Pieces Of My Life

A water glass full of whiskey
And women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell


I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
Tryin' to forget the rest


I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best part away


Playin' in bars, playin' like a star
anything to get a name
Carryin' on livin' on songs
my friends wrote for me to sing



I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best part away


Lord, the pieces of my life,
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I think I miss most of all
Is you and you know who.


Written by Troy Seals


Plantation Rock

Now come along with me

We'll do the plantation rock

It's easy as can be

You'll wanna dance round the clock

Well it became a sensation

Rockin' on the plantation

Dancin' in the fields down to each dock

Now do the plantation rock



So come on bend your knees

Twist with ease side to side

Like the swaying trees keep in rhythm

Now have some pep double step

Shake right there like a rockin' chair

And stay with them



Well now you're right at home

Doin' the plantation rock

Just do it as you were shown

You'll wanna dance round the clock



Well just like on the plantation

Folks all over the nation

Started rockin' on each street and block

Gonna do the plantation rock

Do the plantation rock

Do the plantation rock

Do the plantation rock



Written by Giant, Baum and Kaye



Playing For Keeps

I'm playin' for keeps

This time it's real

And I want you to know

Exactly how I feel

I'm playin' for keeps

I'm sure this time

And I won't be happy

Until I know you're mine



There have been others

That could love me true

But no one else can thrill me like you do

I'm playin' for keeps

Oh love me too

Oh, don't make me sorry

That I fell in love with you



There have been others

That could love me true

But no one else can thrill me like you do

I'm playin' for keeps

Oh love me too

Oh, don't make me sorry

That I fell in love with you



Written by Kessler



Please Don't Drag That String Around

You like to keep me dangling on a string

'Cause you know without you my life don't mean a thing



So I beg you

Please don't drag that string around, oh no

Well, what if it should break

Oh, tell me, what would I do then

Keep that string up off the ground

Oh, yeah, remember my heart is tied to the other end



Yes, I知 your puppet, my heart is in your hand

One twist of the wrist and I jump to your command



So I beg you

Please don't drag that string around, oh no

Well, what if it should break

What would I do then

Baby, keep that string up off the ground

Oh, yeah, remember my heart is tied to the other end



I feel inside me, as sure as anything

One day I値l mean more to you than a puppet on a string



So I beg you

Please don't drag that string around, oh no

Well, what if it should break

Oh, tell me, what would I do then

Keep that string up off the ground

Oh, yeah, remember my heart is tied to the other end



Written by Blackwell and Scott



Please Don't Stop Loving Me

Please don't stop loving me

You were born just to be in my arms

In my arms

Please don't stop loving me

Your lips were made just to be kissed by me

Kissed by me



When I'm with you

I don't know day from night, wrong from right

You are my world, that's all I know

I love you so, I won't let go



Please don't stop loving me

Darling you'll always be mine alone

Mine alone



Written by Joe Byers

Pocketful Of Miracles

I don't worry

Whenever skies are gray above 

Got a pocketful of rainbows

Got a heart full of love



Mister Heartache

I've found a way to make him leave

Got a pocketful of rainbows

Got a star up in my sleeve



Kiss me extra tender

Hold me extra tight

'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness

For a lonely night, aye

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye



No more teardrops

Now that I've found a love so true

I got a pocketful of rainbows

Got an armful of you



Kiss me extra tender

Hold me extra tight

'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness

For a lonely night, aye

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye



No more heartaches

Now that I've found a love so true

Got a pocketful of rainbows

And an armful of you



Rainbows...

Rainbows...



Written by Weisman and Wise



Poison Ivy League

Hail to thee old ivy league

Poison ivy league

The ra-ra boys are sitting round the table tonight

The ra-ra boys have lots of plans in view

They're gonna have panty raids

And make their own lemonade

They'll live it up just like the big boys do



Poison ivy league, boys in that ivy league

Give me an itch, those sons of the rich

That poison ivy league



The ra-ra boys will go to bed so early tonight

Before exams they need a lot of rest

They gotta make good for dad

They gotta make good so bad

They'll even pay someone to take that test



Poison ivy league, boys in that ivy league

How can they flunk, they're so full of bunk

That poison ivy league



The ra-ra boys are being groomed for business some day

For better things to college they were sent

And you can bet they'll be the head of the company

As long as dear old daddy's president



Poison ivy league, boys in that ivy league

So loaded with cash, they give me a rash

That poison ivy league



So let it be told

I won't touch them with a ten foot pole

That poison Ivy league



Written by Giant, Baum and Kaye



Polk Salad Annie

Some of you all never been down South too much...

I' gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about

Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields,

and it looks something like a turnip green. 

Everybody calls it Polk salad. Now that's Polk salad. 

Used to know a girl that lived down there and 

she'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it...

Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat,

But they did all right.



Down in Louisiana

Where the alligators grow so mean

Lived a girl that I swear to the world

Made the alligators look tame



Polk salad Annie

'Gators got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

For the mama was working on the chain-gang

What a mean, vicious woman



Everyday before suppertime

She'd go down by the truck patch

And pick her a mess of Polk salad

And carry it home in a tote sack



Polk salad Annie

'Gators got you granny

Everybody said it was a shame

'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang

Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,

Lord have mercy.



Sock a little Polk salad to him

Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah



But daddy was a lazy and a no-count

Claimed he had a bad back

All her brothers were fit for

Was stealing watermelons out of my truck



For once Polk salad Annie

'Gators got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

For the mama was working on the chain-gang



Sock a little Polk salad to him

You know what meets a meal mention

You sock a little

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah

Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon

Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon

Sock a little Polk salad to him

You know what meets a meal mention

Sock a little Polk salad to him

You know what meets a meal mention

Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling



Written by Tony White



Poor Boy

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy

But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue

'Cause I could never be a poor boy

As long as I致e got a dolly like you



Ain't got a crust, ain't got a cent

Can't buy a jug, can't pay the rent

I got a heartfull of dreams

And a lot of memories

And that's enough for me



Can't buy a house, can't buy a lot

Ain't got a bean, I ain't got a pot

But what I got is a heartfull of

Love and memories

And that's enough for me



Don't have a pig, don't have a cow

I don't have a horse to pull a plow

But what I got is a heartfull of

Love and memories

And that's enough for me



Written by Vera Matson and Elvis Presley



Power Of My Love

Oh break it, burn it, drag it all around

Twist it, turn it, you can't tear it down

Cos' every minute, every hour you'll be shaken

By the strength and mighty power of my love



Crush it, kick it, you can never win

I know baby you can't lick it

I'll make you give in

Every minute, every hour you'll be shaken

By the strength and mighty power of my love



Baby I want you, you'll never get away

My love will haunt you yes haunt you night and day

Touch it, pound it, what good does it do

There's just no stoppin' the way I feel for you

Cos' every minute, every hour you'll be shaken

By the strength and mighty power of my love



Yeh, yeh, baby I want you, you'll never get away

My love will haunt you yes haunt you night and day

Touch it, pound it, what good does it do

There's just no stoppin' the way I feel for you

Cos' every minute, every hour you'll be shaken

By the strength and mighty power of my love



I said every minute, every hour you'll be shaken

By the strength and mighty power of my love



Every minute, every hour you'll be shaken

By the strength and mighty power of my love



Written by Giant, Baum and Kaye



Promised Land

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

California on my mind

I straddled that Greyhound

And rode into Raleigh

And on across Caroline



We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle

Halfway across Alabam'

And that hound broke down and left us all stranded

In downtown Birmingham



Right away I brought me a through train ticket

Ridin' across Mississippi clean

And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

Smoking into New Orleans



Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

Just to help me get to Houston Town

There are people there who care a little about me

And they won't let the poor boy down



Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit

Put luggage in my hand

And I woke up high over Alberquerque

On a jet to the promised land



Working on a T-bone steak a la carte 

Flying over to the golden state

Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

He would set us at the terminal gate



Swing low chariot come down easy

Taxi to the terminal zone

Cut your engines and cool your wings

And let me make it to the telephone



Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

Tidewater four ten o nine

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

And the poor boy is on the line



Working on a T-bone steak a la carte 

Flying over to the golden state

Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

He would set us at the terminal gate



Written by Chuck Berry



Proud Mary

Left a good job in the city

Workin' for the man every night and day

Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping

Worried about the way things might have been



A big wheel keeps on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'

Rollin' on a river

Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river



If you come down to the river

I betcha you're gonna find some people who live 

You don't have to worry

'Cause you have no money

People along the river are happy to give



I said a big wheel keeps on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'

Rollin' on a river

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river



Written by John Foggerty



Puppet On A String

Every time you look at me

I,m as helpless as can be

I become a puppet on a string

You can do 'most anything to me



All you do is touch my hand

And your wish is my command

I become a puppet on a string

You can do 'most anything to me



If you really love me

Darling please be kind

I offer you the truest love

That you will ever find



Take my heart and please be fair

Handle it with loving care

For I'm just a puppet on a string

You can do 'most anything to me



If you really love me

Darling please be kind

I offer you the truest love

That you will ever find



Take my heart and please be fair

Handle it with loving care

For I'm just a puppet on a string

You can do 'most anything to me

You can do 'most anything to me



Written by Bennett and Tepper



Put The Blame On Me

If they say we were doin' wrong

If they say we were out too long

Well, you can say

My arms were just too strong

Put the blame, put the blame on me



Felt so good when I held you tight

Couldn't stop when we kissed goodnight

So if they tell us we don't heave the right

Put the blame, put the blame on me



What I feel is deep inside

This is real and I won't hide

Go ahead, use my name

I'll be proud to take the blame



You just did what I made you do

You love me and I love you

So if the way they talk can bother you

Put the blame, put the blame on me



Written by Wise, Blagman and Twowey



Put Your Hand In The Hand

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at others differently

Put your hand in the hand of the man

From Galilee



My momma taught me how to pray

Before I reached the age of seven

When I知 down on my knees

That's when I知 closest to heaven

Daddy lived his life, two kids and a wife

Well you do what you must do

But he showed me enough of what it takes

To get me through, oh yeh!



Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at others differently

Put your hand in the hand of the man

From Galilee

Oh yeh!



Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at others differently

Put your hand in the hand of the man

From Galilee

Oh yeh!



Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at others differently

Put your hand in the hand of the man

From Galilee

Oh yeh!

Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee, Oh yeh!
