Island In The sun - Harry Belafonte

This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me

CHORUS

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

As morning breaks the heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below

CHORUS
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide

CHORUS
I pray the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
CHORUS

Don't Let Me Cross Over - Jim Reeves

I'm tempted my darling,to steal you away
Don't let me cross over,stay out of my way
You know that I love you,and I'm not the cheating kind
But I'm faced with a heartache and loves cheating line

Don't let me cross over loves cheating line
You belong to another and could never be mine
I know one step closer,would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over,loves cheating line

I tried to forget,but what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying,that you love me to
I know if I lose you,not a dream will I have left
I don't want to cheat, dear,but I can't help myself

Don't let me cross over loves cheating line
You belong to another and could never be mine
I know one step closer,would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over,loves cheating line

My Happiness - Jim Reeves

Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How, I long to be with you, my happiness.

Everyday I reminisce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss, my happiness.

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then.

Where the skies are gray or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you, my happiness.

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then.

Where the skies are gray or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you, my happiness...

Rail Road Bum - Jim Reeves

I used to be a railroad bum a living on the go
I rode freights from Canada down to Mexico
From sunny Cal to Minnesota where the rippling waters falls
I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore.

I walked in the Silver Dollar in Reno one night
I Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit
The lemons lined up right
Took my winnings then played poker
And I won ten thousand more
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore.

When cotton's white in Tennessee
And shrimp boats sail in Maine
Peach picking time soon will find me ridin' a Georgia train
Couse I get restless when I'm still I guess I always will
Want to keep traveling all my life over another hill.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore...

I Never Pass there anymore - Jim Reeves

There's a house just down the street
A welcome mat outside the door
But it's for him and not for me
I never pass there anymore.

Within this house there is a girl
I'll always adore
But I've been vanished from her world
I never pass there anymore.

Within this girl there is a heart
And in this part there is a love
But it's a love for someone else
I'm not the one she's dreaming of.

Yes, there's a house just down the street
I've been there many times before
But now it's best we never meet
I never pass there anymore.

Within this girl there is a heart
And in this part there is a love
But it's a love for someone else
I'm not the one she's dreaming of.

Yes, there's a house just down the street
I've been there many times before
But now it's best we never meet
I never pass there anymore...
