The Fightin' Side of Me - Merle Haggard

I hear people talkin' bad about the way we have to live here in this country Harpin' on the wars we fight, an' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides, an' standin' up for things they believe in When they're runnin' down my country, man They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep If you don't love it, leave it Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin' When you're runnin' down my country, man You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me I read about some squirrely guy who claims he just don't believe in fightin' An' I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on bein' free They love our milk an' honey, but they preach about some other way of livin' When they're runnin' down my country, hoss They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep If you don't love it, leave it Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin' When you're runnin' down my country, man You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep If you don't love it, leave it Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin' When you're runnin' down my country, man You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

The other side (the other side) The other side (the other side) The other side of me (side of me) By day, I play the part in every way Of simple, sweet, calm and collected Pretend, to my friends, I'm a chameleon Can make a girl feel disconnected Feel like a star, a superhero Sometimes it's hard to separate (got too much on my plate) If you could see the other side of me I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell? I hold the key (the key) to both realities The girl that I want you to know If only I could show The other side (the other side) The other side (the other side) I want you to see (oh) The other side (the other side) The other side (the other side) The other side of me (woo!) Inside (inside), I try to make the pieces fit right A jigsaw puzzle everywhere 'Cause I flip (I flip) the script (the script) So many times I forget (oh) who's on stage, who's in the mirror Back in the spotlight, the crowd is calling The paparazzi and the fame (it can drive a girl insane) If you could see the other side of me I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell? I hold the key to both realities The girl that I want you to know If only I could show The other side (the other side) The other side (the other side) I want you to see (oh) The other side (the other side) The other side (the other side) The other side of me Down inside, I'm not that different Like everyone, I have a dream (have a dream) Don't wanna hide, just wanna fit in Sometimes it's harder than it seems If you could see the other side of me I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell? I hold the key to both realities (oh) The girl that I want you to know If you could see (c'mon) The other side of me (the other side of me) I'm just like (just like) anybody else, can't you tell? I hold the key (the key) to both realities (both realities) The girl that I want you to know If only I could show (yeah) The other side (the other side) The other side (the other side) I want you to see (yeah) The other side (the other side) The other side (the other side) The other side of me The other side (the other side) The other side (the other side) I want you to see (oh) The other side (the other side) The other side of me

When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall He loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall. The town in which he lived is not important But you'll know which town I mean by the time I'm thru He soon became a famous entertainer But LEONARD was a name he never used He was on his way to having what he wanted Just about as close as one could be Hey! once he even followed Elvis Presley And he wrote a lot of country songs for me. But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus For years he chose to let his music go But preaching wasn't really meant for LEONARD But how in the hell was LEONARD s'posed to know. Well, life began to twist its way around him And I wondered how he carried such a load He came back again to try his luck in music And lost his wife and family on the road. SPOKEN: (After that he seemed to bog down even deeper And I saw what booze and pills could really do And I wondered if I'd ever see him sober But I forgot about a Friend that LEONARD knew.) Well, LEONARD gave me lots of inspiration He helped teach me how to write a country song And he even brought around a bag of groceries Hey! back before Muskogee came along. Really I'm not trying to hide his showname Or the town in which this episode began SPOKEN: (Somehow I had to write a song for old Tommy) If just to see the smilin' faces in the band. When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall And he loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall.

(James Pierpont) Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh --- Instrumental --- Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh.

All'alba, prima che il sole sorgesse E gli uccelli cantassero la loro dolce canzone La donna del troll della montagna con lingua falsa Ed ingannevole propose al signore: Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Ti darò i dodici mulini Che stanno tra Tillo e Terno Le macine sono fatte del più rosso rame E le ruote sono cariche d'argento Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Se tu fossi una donna cristiana Riceverei volentieri regali così, Ma io so che sei il peggiore troll della montagna Figlio degli spiriti maligni e del demonio. Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darà? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no?

Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no?
