(Words & music by Ira Stamphill) I'm satisfied with just a cottage belowA little silver and a little goldBut in that city where the ransomed will shineI want a gold one that's silver lined I've got a mansion just over the hilltopIn that bright land where we'll never grow oldAnd some day yonder we will never more wanderBut walk on streets that are purest gold Don't think me poor or deserted or lonelyI'm not discouraged I'm heaven boundI'm but a pilgrim in search of the cityI want a mansion, a harp and a crown I've got a mansion just over the hilltopIn that bright land where we'll never grow oldAnd some day yonder we will never more wanderBut walk on streets that are purest gold
(Words & music by Don Robertson) Who makes my heart beat like thunder?Who makes my temperature rise?Who makes me tremble with wonderful raptureWith one burning glance, from her eyes Marguerita... Once I was free as a gypsyA creature too wild to tameThen suddenly I saw, MargueritaAnd I was caught, like a moth in the flame Marguerita...is her name Marguerita... Her lips have made me her prisonerA slave to her every commandShe captivates me, and intoxicates meWith one little touch of her hand Marguerita.... Sweet...Marguerita...sweet,sweet Marguerita....
(words & music by Cymbal - Rashkow) Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morningWhen through the sleepy haze I see her lying thereSoft as the rain that falls on summerflowersWarm as the sunlight shining on her head When I awake and see her there so close beside meI want to take her in my arms,The ache is there so deep inside me Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morningChasing the rainbow in her dreams so far awayAnd when she turns to touch me I kiss her fingers so softlyAnd then my Mary wake to love and love again And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weatherShe doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,We share together Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the eveningKissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hairAnd as we walk, I hold her close beside meAll our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share
(Words & music by Chuck Berry) Maybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do. As I was motivatin' over the hillI saw Maybellene in a coup de ville.A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford.The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five,She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side. Maybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do. The cadillac moved to a hundred and fourgot hot and wouldn't do no moreIt got cloudy and started to rainTooted my horn in the passing laneThe rain water blowin all under my hoodI knew that was doin' my motor no good Maybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do. Maybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do. The motor cooled down, the heat went downAnd that's when I heard that highway sound.The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of leadA hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' stillAnd I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill. Maybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do.You've started back doing the things you used to do.
