The Long Black Veil
By: M. Wilkens & D. Dill
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night, when the north wind blows
In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night, when the north wind blows
In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones
NIGHTINGALE
(McCafferty, Sweet, Charlton, Agnew)
1975 Nazareth(Dunfermline)Ltd.
Sings a sad song for lonely women
Sings about women to lonely men
Sings a peace song to a soldier
Sings about loneliness to a friend
She’s a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She’s a song singer from her heart
Sings a melody to haunt you
And some words to make you cry
If you’re sad she’ll make you happy
When you’re down she’ll take you high
She’s a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She’s a song singer from her heart
She’s a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She’s a song singer from her heart
She’s a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She’s a song singer from her heart
PART OF THE SCENERY
Billy Rankin
1984 A&M Records Inc.
Countdown’s starting, now the goin’s gettin’ rough
I give you my lovin’, but I guess it ain’t enough
Once upon a time you were proud I was your man
Now your low on affection and I get it when I can
When your friends all visit and they see me comin’ through
There’s a voice from the crowd sayin’ “Who the hell are you?”
I’m just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin’ the view
I’m part of the scenery. Whatcha gonna do about me?
Wanna be strong, try to put you in your place
I show a little love, get the sand in my face
I try to get up, always something goin’ down
Caught in the middle of your merry go round
The wise men say I should leave well alone
But the same wise men just call when you are home
I’m just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin’ the view
I’m part of the scenery. Whatcha gonna do about me?
About....
The wise men say I should leave well alone
But the same wise men just call when you are home
I’m just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin’ the view
I’m part of the scenery. Whatcha gonna do about me?
I’m just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin’ the view

About me......
AIN’T GOT YOU
I got a Maseratti two by two
With snakeskin upholstery
Charge account at Goldblatz
But I ain’t got you
I got a closet full of clothes
And no matter where I goes
You keeps a ring in my nose
But I ain’t got you
I got a tavern, a liquor store
I play the numbers, 444
I got mojo don’t you know
I’m all dressed up with no place to go
I got women to the right of me
I got women to the left of me
I got women all around me
But I ain’t got you, no I ain’t got you
I got a tavern, and a liquor store
I play the numbers, 444
I got mojo don’t you know
But I ain’t got you
No, I ain’t got you
No, I ain’t got you
No, I ain’t got you
COME TOGETHER
(Lennon/McCartney)as performed by Nazareth
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me
DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT
What you gonna do if the fashion changes
Have you got a good song, can you go on
Will you be so strong you can rearrange it
Will you still have the thought to rely on
Will you cut your hair, do you dye it yellow
Are you still the right flavor to be tasted
Will you have your name in the Sunday papers
Do you tell them you are straight or get wasted
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, I’ll bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, I’ll bet you do
Did you ever think when you picked the front line
Are you gonna back up on your promises
Did you tell the folks you could make the changes
Are you gonna play it different than the last one
You got the address and you got the power
Are you gonna use it right or abuse it
Taking all the trust that you know you’re given
Are you gonna play the game or just lose it
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, I’ll bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, I’ll bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, I’ll bet you do
Do you have the looks
Do you have the profile
Do you have your fingerprints or a record
If they come to you for some information
Looking for a secret would you sell one
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, I’ll bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, I’ll bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, I’ll bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, I’ll bet you do
DREAMIN’
Dreamin’
I saw a spirit in the sky
I’m dreamin’
Dreaming away again
I felt a cold wind rushing in
And carry me up high
Far above the maddening crowd I fly
It’s so exciting
Electrifying
And I can see there’s no dreams
Dreamin’
I saw a strange light in the sky
I’m dreamin’
Dreaming away again
I felt this power touching me
Reelin’ in my lies
Visions came,
My heart began to rise
It’s so exciting
Electrifying
I feel the sun is in my dreams
I’ve seen the wild side of city lights
Walked the streets where the lightning strikes
I’ve heard the thunder and I know
But I’ve never had such feelings before
In my dreams
Dreamin’ away again
Dreamin’ away again
Dreamin’
I saw a spirit in the sky
I’m dreaming
I saw a strange light in the sky
I’m dreaming
I saw a shadow passing by
I’m dreaming
Dreamin’ away again
I’m dreaming
Dreamin’ away again
Dreamin’
Dreamin’ away again
Dreamin.......
SWEET LITTLE ROCK AND ROLLER
By: Chuck Berry as done by Nazareth
Nineteeen years old and as sweet as she can be
Dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock-roll melody
She's the daughter of a well-respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Soon she became a rock-roll music fan
Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Papa don't have to scold her, says he can't hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller
Should've seen her eyes when the band began to play
Famous singers sang and barred away
Stars performed, she screamed and yelled "Hooray!"
Ten thousand eyes were watching her leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screaming out "More! More!"
About fifteen hundred waitin' outside the door
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Papa don't have to scold her, says he can't hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
