I saw him today, I saw his face
It was a face I loved and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
But still they begin, needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

NEEDLES AND PINS
(Jack Nitzche - Sonny Bono)
JACKIE DeSHANNON (LIBERTY 55563, 1963)

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

"Runaway"
~~Del Shannon

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Rhythm of the Rain
The Cascades What else!

Day after day, alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning round.


The Fool On The Hill
The Beatles

What goes up must come down
Spinnin'
wheel got to go 'round]
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin

You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin' wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn

"Spinning Wheel"
~~Blood, Sweat and Tears

I ain't got no home, I'm just a ramblin' around
A hard working ramblin' man, I go from town to town
The police make it hard wherever I may go
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

I was farmin' on the shares and always I was poor
My crops I laid into the banker's door
And my wife took down and died upon the cabin floor
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

I AIN'T GOT NO HOME
(Woody Guthrie/Woody Guthrie)

My father was a gambler down in Georgia
And he wound up out in the wrong in Alabam’
I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin’ down Highway 41.

Lord I was born a ramblin’ man
Tryin to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can
When it’s time for leavin’ I hope you’ll understand
That I was born a ramblin’ man.

"Ramblin' Man"

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler,
I'm a long way from home,
and them that don't like me can leave me alone.
I'll eat when I'm hungry,
I'll drink when I'm dry,
and if the moonshine don't kill me,
I'll live 'til I die.

Moonshine, oh moonshine!
Oh how I love thee,
Ye killed my old father,but ah you try me.

Irish traditional..
