Vaya con Dios Lyrics

Don't Cry For Loui
I gave up all my friends
My girls from out of town
Bought her what she wanted
Yet she let me down
When she sae me crying
She said I had no heart
When my heart was bleeding
She turned around and laughed

Girls don't cry for Louie
Louie wouldn't cry for you
When you walk the streets for Louie
You better do what Louie tells you to

I met Louie on a hazy morning
When the bars were closing down
He said honey I really like your prancing
You and I we'll burn this town

This woman, sir, mislead me
Hurt me in my pride
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to take her side?
She cheated on me mister
Told me nithing but lies
I just had to teach her
Not to over step the line

Girls don't cry for Louie
He wouldn't waste a tear on you
When you walk the streets for Louie
You ain't walking down no avenue

I met Louie on an early mirning
In a sleazy part of town
I was tipsy and feeling kind'a lonely
Louie offered me his arm
He said: you and I we'll burn this town
He said: you and I we'll burn this town

The Moonshiner
No dimes in yout pocket
No bills in you wallet
No cash in the bank
Ain't no good at all

Honey you're not wise
You don't realise
People talk you know
Guess what I've been told
When you come home late
That beat look on your face
Don't tell me it's because
You're working night and day
I'm not blind
I got eyes you see
You're a mean mioonshiner

You've benn senn down at Joe's
Spending all of my dough
Splashing bourbon and rye

Playing randy and dandy, the game stakes are high

Honey you're a lie
Just a no good guy
Phoney Romey
In a late late show
When I took you home
To mama she said
This guy looks like
He's got a hoke in his head
Lord protect us from evil she cried
He's a mean moonshiner

Honey don't you grieve
When I take my leave
I ain't gona cry
For my last goodbye
I'm gonna take that door
Don't care what you say
You never did say much anyway
I care no longer
For the company
Of a mean moonshiner

Lord Help Me Please
This woman she knows
The story of a heartbreak
Beneath the weight of day
She's seen the hate
On people's faces
Dark skin her only disgrace

She cries help me please
Lord help me please

Her children she taught them
How to be proud in the face
Of adversity
She gave them the love, respect and understanding
Showing them
The way to be free

Lord help her please
Lord help her please
Lord, please

She stands tallHigh as a mountain
Her heart as deep as the sea
She's known hardship and sorrow
That brought her down on her knees

Lord help her please
Lord help her please
Lord help her please
Lord, please

Lay Your Hands (off my man)
Lay your hands
Off my man
You don't even want him
You just want
What I have

Lay your hands
Off my man
You don't even want him
You just want
What I have

A pretty girl floating in a room
Wrappped in her innocence and her cheap perfume
Fluttering around men like a moth around the light
Think she won't burn herself, well I just think she might
A little girl not a woman yet
Spiteful little eyes that say watch out I'm a theat

Lay your hands
Off my man
You don't even want him
You just want
What I have

Lay your hands
Off my man
Don't you, don't you
Don't you girl, don't you dare

You call me sweetie and other charming names
Yet you give him the eye while I'm standing next to him
Don't like you ways besides I got mmy pride
Would you mind girl stepping aside
Oh! no you don't understang, you're acting amazed
Don't take me for a fool girl, fade away

Lulu's Song
Chains that she wears like a crown
For to slavery bound
From the day they have met
Chains that she's draggiing around
Never making a siound
From the day ske said "yes"
Chains, to keep her tied to the ground
While he is slipping away

Queen in a glorified cage
With only silence to page
The lonely night long
Wait for the footsteps to fall
For his voice in the hall
Calling her name again
Pray for all that sweetness long gone
When all that's left is the pain

Shame that she's keeping inside
Hiding misery behind
Fancy curtains of lace
Vain, she is hoping in vain
He would kindle the flame
That once burned in his eyes
Rain that beats like time on the pane
When every second's the same
Rain that beats like time on the pane
When every sevond's the same
Woman, don't bury that heart of gold
Behind a cold face of stone

Just A Friend Of Mine
He said baby, what's your name
Are you new in this town?
Since you walked in things don't look the same
How about sticking around?
The place was dark and the band played loud
His voice sounded kind of fry
He said: who's that guy with the funny smile?
She said: he's just a friend of mine
He's just a friend of mine
He's just a friend of mine

They talked a little, drank a lot
As the evening went by
The place got crowded and the air too hot
He said: who's that guy following us about?
She said: he's just a friend of mine
He's just a friend of mine
He's just a friend of mine

He was nice and gentle, still rough enough
To keep her satisfied
She said: hold it baby, it gets too much
I feel like I'm gonnna die
He took her home in the early mornin'
She said: please do come inside
He said: who's that guy in the dressing gown?
She said: he's just a friend of mine
He's just a friend of mine
He's just a friend of mine

He said: who's that guy in the dressing gown?
She said: baby don't you mind
He's just a friend, just a friend,
He's just a friend of mine

I Sold My Soul
I sold my soul to the devil
The first time you kissed me
I mistook hell for heaven
The first time I let you touch me
Now I'm just a little toy in your hands
Like many before me
Feels like I'm walking on a rope of sand
Somebody save me

I even cancel all my secret rendez-vous
To sit alone by the phone
Waiting to hear from you
My friends don't call me no more
Say I'm ni fun
Ignore me when I'm 'round
Talk about me when I'm gone
I don't know what's gonna happen
To my poor soul, Lord help me
Mama, your little girl is crying
Night and day, do something for me
If you can

One Silver Dollar
One silver dollar
Bright silver dollar
Changing hands
Changing hands

Endlessly rolling
Wasted or stolen
Changing hands
Changing hands

Spent for a beer his trinket
Won by a gambler's lust
Pierced by an outlaw's bullet
And found in the blood red dust

One silver dollar
One silver dollar
Changing hands
Changing hands

Love is a shining dollar
Bright as a churchbell's schime
Gambled and spent, and wasted
And lost in a dust of time

One silver dollar
One silver dollar
Changing hearts
Changing lives
Changing hands

Philadelphia
Raindrops falling softly
As I walk in down the road
Neon lights flicker
Reflecting on my leather coat
A black guy passes me by
He's looking kind'a high
When I'm reaching for a smile
I see that strange look in his eye

Here I am in Philadelphia
And I'm walking in the rain.
You're out there in Compton, baby
Do you still remember my name?

I couldn't hear what he said
But I suddenly realised
Thousand thoughts go through my head
While his steps they follow mine
A woman must be crazy
To be out this time at night
Unless she's looking for some business
Unless she's feeling real uptight

Here I am in Philadelphia
And I'm walking in the rain.
And I'm walking in the rain.
You're out there in Compton
Do you still remeber my name?

Here I'm standing at the station
Waiting for my train to come
When that dude gave me a look
Made me wonder what I'd done
A woman must be crazy
Ro be out this time at night
Unless she's out of her mind

Here I am in Philadelphia
And I'm walking in the rain.
And I'm walking in the rain.
You're out there in Compton
Do you still remember my name?

Do you baby?
Do you remember?
Do you baby?
Do you remember?
Remember my name?

Remember
Remember, the gipsy never gets lonely
Remember, the gipsy never gets lonely

He spends his nights doing what
They pay him well to do
He don't talk too much
Won't waste no words on you
He's the meanest cowboy in this town

And there ain't no Susy ' round
To nail him down

In some back room
He lays his cards on the table
Whatever job he does
They know he is able

He's a roving rogue
Moving from place to place
You don't stand a chance
To see a smile upon his face
He wouldn't give no one
The time of day
When the job is done
Just collects his pay

Whatever you might
Meet up with this stranger
Better move along
His name spells danger

Puerto Rico
A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico
A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico

Wake up Angelita, your mama just turned off the light
Manolo is already waiting by the old water-pipe
Her shoes in one hand she carefully walks down the stairs
Holding her breath 'cause there's danger and love in the air.

A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico
A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico

Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out
Begging the Virgin won't help when you'll hear Manolito shout,
He's already standing under the starlit sky
You run to his arms and you laugh and you cry as he holds you tight

A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico
A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico

He says he'll be leaving you soon still you beg him to stay
But he wants to make it somewhere in the U.S.A.
And though he'll be far he promises he'll write every day
When time will be right he'll come back and he'll take you away

A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico
A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico

Your papa don't like him, he says he's no good
He steals and he fights and he never bahaves, like a young man should
Angelita she knows, he's not bad inside
She takes the medal, she wears on a chain, and presses it into his palm

A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico
A\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e a\"{i}e Puerto Rico

Johnny
Johnny tu n'es pas un ange
Ne crois pas que \c{o}a m'd\'{e}range
Jour et nuit je pense \`{a} toi
Toi tu te souviens de moi
Au moment o\`{u} \c{o}a t'arrange
Et quand revient le matin
Tu t'endors sur mon chagrin
Johnny tu n'es pas un ange

Johnny,si tu \'{e}tais plus galant
Johnny, Johnnu je t'aimerais tout autant

Johnny tu n'es pas un ange
Ne crois pas que \c{o}a m'd\'{e}range
Quand tu me r\'{e}veilles la nuit
C'est pour dire que tu t'ennuies,
Et quand revient le matin
Tu t'endors sur mon chagrin
Johnnu tu n'es pas un ange

Johnny,si tu \'{e}tais pplus galant
Johnny,je t'aumerais tout autant

Johnny tu n'es pas un ange
Apr\`{e}s tout qu'est-ce que \c{o}a change
L'Homme saura toujours trouver
Toutes les femmes du monde entier
Pour lui chanter ses louanges
D\`{e}s qu'il en sera lass\'{e}
Elles seront vite ouvl\'{e}es
Vraiment vous n'\^{e}tes pas des anges

Johnny,depuis que le monde est n\'{e}
Johnny,il faut tout vous pardonner
