Ring, ring... I've got to sing - Ferre Grignard (1966) (with lyrics)

Very popular song in the sixties, written by the Belgium folksinger Ferre Grignard. 


(Lyrics)

Oh, Don't cry, my baby
Don't cry all a while
Don't cry, my baby
Just give me a smile
See my daddy die in the war
See my mamma die cryin' for

A ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing
A-ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing

They call me a hound dog
They call me a swine
It's all because of my color
For their war though I'm fine

A ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing
A-ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing

Dee dum dah dee yay-ay
Dee dum dah dah dee day
Dee dum dah dah dee day-ay
Dee dum dah dah dee yay

They're talkin' 'bout freedom
Of religion and race
But if you're a negro
They slap you in the face

A ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing
A-ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing

Dee dum dah dee yay-ay
Dee dum dah dah dee day
Dee dum dah dah dee day-ay
Dee dum dah dah dee yay

Day after day - Badfinger (1971) (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you.

No matter what - Badfinger (live) with lyrics



(Lyrics)

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Oh girl, with you

No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Oh girl, want you

Knock down the old grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be
Nothing would be 
Nothing would be 

No matter where you go
There would always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl
Oh girl, want you

Knock down the old grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be
Nothing would be
Nothing would be 

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Oh girl, with you

Oh girl, you girl, want you
Oh girl, you girl, want you

No matter what - Badfinger (with lyrics)

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Oh girl, with you

No matter what you do

Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Oh girl, want you

Knock down the old grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be
Nothing would be
Nothing would be

No matter where you go
There would always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl
Oh girl, want you

Knock down the old grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be
Nothing would be
Nothing would be

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Oh girl, with you

Oh girl, you girl, want you
Oh girl, you girl, want you

Angie - The Rolling Stone (1973) (live) with lyrics



(Lyrics)

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried.

Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said goodbye
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear

Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here

Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we say good-bye
Ain't it time we say good-bye
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, Baby,

Everywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you,
Come on baby, dry our eyes

But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried
