WALKING
AFTER MIDNIGHT
(Alan W. Block/Don Hecht)
I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walking after midnight
Searching for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well, that´s just my way of sayin´ I love you
I'm always walking after midnight
Searching for you
I stop to see a weeping willow cryin´ on
his pillow
Maybe he's cryin´ for me
And as the skies turn gloomy night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walking after midnight out in the
starlight
Just a-hopin´ you may be
Somewhere a-walking after midnight
Searching for me

WHAT
I DIDN`T DO
(Wood
Newton/Michael Noble)
I didn't cheat, I didn't lie so her leaving
took me by surprise
Just a note on the table, saying we're through
At first I went crazy so it took me some time
But I finally read between the lines
It's not what I did, it's what I didn't do
I didn't tell her each day I loved her
I took it for granted, somehow she knew
I didn't hold her when she needed a shoulder
It's not what I did, it's what I didn't do
Now it's easy to see why her love died
She was planning her nights by the TV-guide
She needed me with her, more then I knew
I was too busy working getting ahead
While I should have been home loving her instead
It's not what I did, it's what I didn't do

ROSEWOOD
CASKET
(trad./ arranged by
Doreen Wolter / Maik
Wolter)
There's a little rosewood casket
Lying on a marble stand
II: With a packet of love letters
Written by my true love's hand :II
Go and bring them to me sister
Read them over for me tonight
II: I have often tried but I could not
For the tears that filled my eyes :II
Take his letters and his locket
Place them gently on my heart
II: But this golden ring that he gave me
From my finger never part :II
When I'm dead and in my casket
When I gently fall asleep
Fall asleep to wake in heaven
Dearest sister don`t you weep
first again

FAIRFAX
COUNTY
(David Massengil)
Oh once I loved an outlaw he came and stole
my heart
Oh how I count the hours since we were torn apart
On the road to Fairfax County I spied a highwayman
He wanted all my money my heart beat like a drum
I gave him all my money and sweet he smiled
at me
His beauty I took pity beneath the black oak tree
We kissed but for an hour the sun was newly warm
The clouds were as the flowers that bloom, but for a morn'
He gave back all my money and bowed most
gallantly
He promised for to meet me that night beneath the tree
We'd flee to some far island and there we would be wed
And freely we would live there with no prize upon his head
That night I went to meet him with my
inheritance
He kissed me 'neath the half moon and joyful we did dance
Oh love betrays all secrets it whispers in the breeze
The sheriff, he did follow with all his deputies
Like hounds rushing to slaughter the fox
who's luck is run
Jet he stood erect and cursed them God damn you everyone
They seized him in a fury and heading not my plea
They hung him from the oak tree where he made love to me

GUARDIAN
ANGELS
(Naomi Judd / John Jarvis / Don
Schlitz)
A hundred year old photograph stares out
from a frame
And if you look real close you´ll see her
eyes are just the same
I never met them face to face, but I still
know them well
From the stories my dear grandma would tell
Elijah was a farmer, he knew how to make
things grow
And granny vowed she´d follow him where
ever he would go
Things turned out, they never left their
small Kentucky farm
But he kept her fed, she kept him warm
They´re my guardian angels and I know that
they can see
Every step I´m taking, they are watching
over me
I might not know where I´m going
But I´m sure where I come from
They´re my guardian angels - and I´m their
special one
Sometimes when I´m tired I feel Elijah
takes my arm
He says " Keep on going hard work never
did nobody harm "
And when I´m really troubled and I don´t
know what to do
Then he whispers " Just do your best,
we´re awful proud of you "
They´re my guardian angels and I know that
they can see
Every step I´m taking, they are watching
over me
I might not know where I´m going
But I´m sure where I come from
They´re my guardian angels - and I´m their
special one
A hundred year old photograph stares out
from a frame
And if you look real close you´ll see her
eyes are just the same

IT`S
ALL OVER NOW, BABY BLUE
(Bob Dylan)
You must leave now, take what you need, you
think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better
grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use your
sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing
home
All your reindeer armies, are all going home
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your stepping stones behind, something
calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not
follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once
wore
Strike another match, go start a-new
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

COAT OF MANY
COLOURS
(Dolly Parton)
Back through the years I
go wanderin´ once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mama put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors, but every
piece was small
And I didn´t have a coat and it was way
down in the fall
Mama sewed the rags together, sewing every
piece with love
She made my coat of many colors that I was
so proud of As she sewed she told a story from the bible
she had read
About a coat of many colors, Joseph wore and
then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you good luck
and happiness
And I just couldn´t wait to wear it and
mama blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors that my mama made for
me
Made only from rags, but I wore it so
proudly
Although we had no money, but I was rich as
I could be
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for
me
So with patches on my britches, and holes in
both my shoes
In my coat of many colors, I hurried of to
school
Just to find the others laughing, and a
making fun of me
In my coat of many colors, that mama made
for me
And I couldn´t understand it, for I felt I
was rich
And I told `em of the love my mama sewed in
every stitch
And I told them all that story, mama told me
while she sewed
And howmy coat of many colors was worth more
than all their clothes
But they didn´t understand it and I tried
to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to
be
Now I know we had no money but I was rich as
I could be
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for
me
In my coat of many colors - mama made for me

LITTLE
ROCK
(Tom Douglas)
Well I know I disappeared a time or two
And along the way I lost me and you
I needed a new town for my new start
Selling VCR´s in Arkansas in a Wal-mart
I haven't had a drink in nineteen days
My eyes are clear and bright without that
haze
I like the preacher from the church of
Christ
Sorry that I cried when I talked to you last
night
I think I'm on a role here in Little Rock
I'm solid as a stone baby wait and see
I got just one small problem here in
Little Rock
Without you, baby I'm not me
I don't know why I held it all inside
You must have thought I never even tried
You know your daddy told me when I left
Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't
forget
I think I'm on a role here in Little Rock
I'm solid as a stone baby wait and see
I got just one small problem here in
Little Rock
Without you, baby I'm not me
Lying here upon this motel bed
My thoughts of you explode inside my head
And like a castle build upon the sand
I let love crumble through my hand
I think I'm on a role here in Little Rock
I'm solid as a stone baby wait and see
I got just one small problem here in
Little Rock
Without you, baby I'm not me
Without you, baby I'm not me

IF I
NEEDED YOU
(Townes van Zandt)
If I needed you would you come to me
Would you come to me for to ease my pain
If you needed me I would come to you
I would swim the sea for to ease your
pain
Well the night's forlorn and the morning ´s
born
And the morning ´s born with the lights of
love
And you'll miss sunrise if you close your
eyes
And that would break my heart in two
Baby's with me now since I showed her how
To lay her lily hand in mine
Who could ill agree she's a sight to see
A treasure for the poor to find

ME
AND WHISKEY
(John Vaughan)
Woke up this morning, felt so bad
Hands were shaking and my head was sad
I hurt a friend last night
In a way that wasn´t right
By saying things that cut too deep
Me and whiskey shot a whole in my heart
Each time I always say is the last
Yet always again it comes to pass
When too much whiskey´s drunk
Too many bad thoughts sunk
Deep down inside as the bottle runs dry
Me and whiskey shot a whole in my heart
Shouldn´t have to be no second time
For when there is you know nothing is
alright
When you´ve been hurt once
You´re reluctant with your trust
And it´s too late to say I´m sorry
Me and whiskey shot a whole in my heart
I´m worried now and got questions in my
heart
But I understand why we fell apart
Got a feeling in my bones
I´m riding on the wrong road
And wondering where are you now
Me and whiskey shot a whole in my heart
Me and whiskey shot a whole in my heart

APPLEJACK
(Dolly Parton)
He lived by the apple orchard in this little
orchard shack
His real name was Jackson Taylor, I called
him Applejack
Old Applejack was loved by everyone he ever
knew
Applejack picked apples, but he picked the
banjo too
Play a song for me Applejack, Applejack
Play a song for me and I´ll sing
Play a song for me Applejack, Applejack
Play a song let your banjo ring
I go down to Applejack´s almost every day
We`d sit and we´d drink applejack
That old Applejack had made
Then he take his banjo down, and then he´d
ask me if I´d sing
Then he would play his banjo and I tried my
best to sing
That's when I was just a kid and now that I
am grown
All I have are memories `cos Applejack is
gone
But he left me his old banjo and it always
takes me back
And every time I play it, I still hear
Applejack

SOMEBODY
MUST HAVE LOVED YOU RIGHT LAST NIGHT
(Ken
Bell)
Somebody must have loved you right last
night
`Cause you're so far away today
Somebody turned your lovelight on in a
different way
Could it be the way he kissed you or the way
he held you tight
Somebody must have loved you right last
night
Somebody must have loved you right last
night
Don't you get tired of using me
Lately I'm just the place you got to be
Am I just the fool you come home to
After someone else just had the best of you
//: Somebody must have loved you right last
night
'cause you're so far away today
Somebody turned your lovelight on in a
different way
Could it be the way he kissed you or the way
he held you tight
Somebody must have loved you right last

DARCEY FARROW
Words & music by
Steve Gillette and Tom Campbell
Where the Walker runs down to the
Carson Valley plain
There lived a maiden, Darcy Farrow
was her name
The daughter of old Dundee and a
fair one was she
And the sweetest flower that bloomed
o’er the range
Her voice was as sweet as sugar
candy
Her touch was as soft as a bed of
goose down
Her eyes shone bright like the
pretty lights
That shine in the night out of
Yerington tow
She was courted by young Vandermeer
And quite handsome was he I am to
hear
He brought her silver rings and lacy
things
And she promised to wed before the
snows fell that year
But her pony it did stumble and she
did fall
Her dyin’ touched on the heart of us
all
Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet
to his brain
And we buried them together as the
snows began to fall
They sing of Darcy Farrow where the
Truckee runs through
They sing of her beauty in Virginia
City too
At dusty sundown to her name they
drink a round
And to young Vandy whose love was
true
And
to young Vandy whose love was so
true

Did I tune my guitar for this
(words & music Maik
Wolter)
Late night café, half drunk crowd,
singing my heart out
Wondering where to spent the night
and
Did I tune my guitar for this ?
Did I tune my guitar for this?
Did I change my strings for that?
Those two in the corner making love
to each other
Maybe for them - did I tune my
guitar
Busy street corner cars honking
their horns
Nobody cares to drop a dime
Wondering how to pay for my lunch
and
Did I tune my guitar for this ?
Did I tune my guitar for this?
Did I change my strings for that?
Those lonely drunkards making love
to their beer
Maybe for them - did I tune my
guitar
Endless nights in smoky bars,
drinking to forget
Wondering how to get home tonight
and
Should I waste my time like
this
Did I tune my guitar for this?
Did I change my strings for that?
This gal on the dance floor making
love to herself
Maybe for her - did I tune my
guitar
Maybe for you and me and the sake of
the song
Did I tune my guitar tonight

NO REGRETS

© 2006-04-11
It looks like it’s going to rain
tonight
Or are these tears that are wetting
my face
These long forgotten memories
Hitting me like out of nowhere
Many a roads I have gone
Some were right, some were wrong
But wherever I went
It was my choice
There is no one to blame, but myself
Love affairs
long forgotten
Coming back to life for a moment
Glimpses of happiness and sadness
Striking me with all there might
Many a roads I have gone
Some were right, some were wrong
But wherever I went
It was my choice
There is no one to blame, but myself
A long time ago I made a promise to
myself:
No regrets no matter what I did
Taking the consequences as they came
If it was for glory or for shame
Many a roads I have gone
Some were right, some were wrong
But wherever I went
It was my choice
There is no one to blame, but myself

Gulfcoast Highway
(written by Nanci
Griffith, James Hooker and Danny
Flowers)
Gulf Coast Highway he worked the
rails
He worked the rice fields with their
cool dark wells
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf
of Mexico;
The only thing we've ever owned is
this old house here by the road
And when he dies he says he'll catch
some blackbird's wing
Then he will fly away to Heaven come
some sweet bluebonnet spring
She walked through springtime when I
was home
The days were sweet, the nights were
warm
The seasons change, the jobs would
come, the flowers fade
And this old house felt so alone
when the work took me away
And when she dies she says, she'll
catch some blackbird's wing
Then she will fly away to Heaven
come some sweet bluebonnet spring
Highway Ninety, the jobs are gone
We tend our garden; we set the sun
This is the only place on earth blue
bonnets grow;
And once a year they come and go at
this old house here by the road
And when we die we say, we'll catch
some blackbird's wing
And we will fly away to Heaven come
some sweet bluebonnet spring
And when we die we say, we'll catch
some blackbird's wing
We will fly away together come some
sweet bluebonnet spring

La Belle
Dame sans Merci
(Music: Maik Wolter, lyrics: John
Keats)
O What can ail
thee, knight-at-arms, alone and
palely loitering?
The sedge has wither’d from the lake
and no birds sing
O what can ail
thee, knight-at-arms! So haggard and
so woe-begone?
The squirrel’s granary is full and
the harvest’s done
I see a lily on
thy brow with anguish moist and
fever dew
And on thy cheek a fading rose, Fast
withereth too
I met a lady in
the meads, full beautiful - a
faery’s child,
Her hair was long, her foot was
light and her eyes were wild
I made a
garland for her head and bracelets
too, and fragrant zone
She look’d at me as she did love and
made sweet moan
I set her on my
pacing steed and nothing else saw
all day long
For sidelong would she bend and sing
a faery’s song
She found me
roots of relish sweet and honey
wild, and manna dew,
And sure in language strange she
said - «I love thee true»
She took me to
her elfin grot and there she wept,
and sigh’d fill sore
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
with kisses four
And there she
lullèd me asleep and there I dream’d
- Ah! woe betide!
The latest dream I ever dream’d on
the cold hill’s side
I saw pale
kings and princes too, pale warriors,
death-pale were they all
They cried - «La Belle Dame sans
Merci - Hath thee in thrall!»
I saw their
starved lips in the gloam with
horrid warning gaped wide
And I awoke and found me here, on
the cold hill’s side
And this is why
I sojourn here, alone and palely
loitering
Though the sedge is wither’d from
the lake and no birds sing

BLUEBIRD
SONG
(Words & music:
Doreen Wolter)
In the first morning light
The sun relieves the night
A breeze wakes up the blossoms
The air begins to live
It is noisy but it’s peaceful
From afar you hear a church bell
ring
The flowers start dancing in the
wind
That’s the time when the bluebird
sings
In the first hours of a new day
A bluebird starts to sing
But when the silence seem to
disappear
The bluebird starts to sing

BUCKETS OF
RAIN
(Bob Dylan)
Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin' out of
my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
I got all the love, honey baby
You can stand
I been meek
And hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like
smoke
Friends will arrive, friends will
disappear
If you want me, honey baby
I'll be here
Like your smile
And your fingertips
Like the way that you move your lips
I like the cool way you look at me
Everything about you is bringing me
Misery
Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain't no monkey but I know what I
like.
I like the way you love me strong
and slow
I'm takin' you with me, honey baby
When I go
Life is sad
Life is a bust
All ya can do is do what you must
You do what you must do and ya do it
well
I'll do it for you, honey baby

LOVE IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY
(Dolly Parton)
CHORUS :
Love is like a butterfly as soft and
gentle as a sigh
A multicolored moods of love are
like it's satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange
inside
It flutters like soft wings in
flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and
gentle thing
I feel it when you're with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that I
feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle your
kiss is warm and tender
Whenever I am with you I think of
butterflies
CHORUS
Your laughter brings me sunshine
Everyday is springtime
And I am only happy when you are by
my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious sweet and rare
Together we belong like daffodils
and butterflies

DANCE HALL SATURDAY NIGHT
(Willie Jones)
It’s not diamond
or pearls, she’s not that kind of
girl
It’s more in the way she danced with
him
And he knows without a doubt that’s
not what she’s about
She just loves to do that Texas
Twirl
CHORUS
It’s Saturday
night, they hold each other tight
On the dance floor they turn their
love around
She’s the best thing in his world,
she’s a sweet south Texas girl
In a dance hall on Saturday night
It’s not cars or
fancy clothes, no highbrow fashion
shows
That lady loves her boots of ostrich
hide
And disco’s not her thing, she goes
for western swing
All the music that the jukebox can
provide
CHORUS
When the music’s
all been played, it’s time to
promenade
To the parking lot and then on down
the road
They two-step into bed, Bob Wills
rings in his head
While he’s loving his Rose of San
Antone

WHISPER
OF A CLOUD

On a warm summer day it was 6.30 pm
It was already fifteen minutes to
late
All the lights of the city seemed to
wave good bye
As the plane moved through heaven’s
gate
Chorus
And I love the view up above
Being over the clouds and sometimes
the next minute in it
And if the engine wouldn’t be quiet
so loud
I guess you could hear a heavenly
whisper of a cloud

Two thousand miles away from home
We’re ridin’ fast through the sky
The clouds changed their look and
daylight was gettin’ brighter
As we were so many miles way up high

JUST LIKE TOM THUMB'S BLUES
(Bob Dylan)
When you're lost in the rain in
Juarez
And it's Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don't pull you
through
Don't put on any airs
When you're down on Rue Morgue
Avenue
They got some hungry women there
And they really make a mess outa you
Now if you see Saint Annie
Please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move
My fingers are all in a knot
I don't have the strength
To get up and take another shot
And my best friend, my doctor
Won't even say what it is I've got
Sweet Melinda
The peasants call her the goddess of
gloom
She speaks good English
And she invites you up into her room
And you're so kind
And careful not to go to her too
soon
And she takes your voice
And leaves you howling at the moon
Up on Housing Project Hill
It's either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
Though neither of them are to be
what they claim
If you're lookin' to get silly
You better go back to from where you
came
Because the cops don't need you
And man they expect the same
Now all the authorities
They just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the
sergeant-at-arms
Into leaving his post
And picking up Angel who
Just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first
But left looking just like a ghost
I started out on burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd stand behind
me
When the game got rough
But the joke was on me
There was nobody even there to call
my bluff
I'm going back to New York City
I do believe I've had enough

Clouds

It´s morning - clouds in my head
Like to have sunshine - instead
I´m dreaming - where are you
Like to have you near me - instead
of being blue
Past midnight - I´m still far
away
I long to be near you - I must
stay awake
Still morning …
