GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #276 (GOLQ276)
Welcome to GOLQ276. There are two themes along the same lines in this
quiz. The themes also apply to the tie-breakers. However, there is one
song among the first 25 that is not part of either theme. If you figure it
out, you may also figure out why I wanted to include it in this particular
GOLQ.
Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I learned the truth about the so-called good life
It was just a candle too short to burn the night
Now in the darkness in my heart
Don't you know I bring you and plead
Oh light my way again, light my way again
#01)
Go, Johnny, go!
#02)
Years may come and go
I will love you so
No matter where we go
#03)
You been sneakin'
Doin' me dirt
Now they call me
Little boy hurt
#04)
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky tonks and bars
And kill that man that give me that awful name
#05)
I told her when it comes to dancin'
I'm the best young dancer in the land
Well she looked at me with a twinkle in her eye
And then she took my hand
#06)
You're on all the songs
With a boom-boom-a-boom-boom
And a dit-dit-a-boom-boom-bom
#07)
In '43 they put to sea
13 men and Kennedy
#08)
Oh the Rio Grande is flowing
And the starry skies are bright
She walks along the river
In the quiet summer night
#09)
Now each day is bright and new
And I only pray that I can say
For every day my whole life through
#10)
Other girls watch just walking by
Then they wish
Jimmy was their guy
#11)
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
#12)
Tell the moon up in the sky
Tell the birds that fly by
#13)
If little, little David hadn't grabbed that stone
Lying there on the ground
Big Goliath might have stomped on him
Instead of the other way around
#14)
I wanna say
I'm not getting any stronger
I can't hold out very much longer
Trying hard to be true
#15)
Girl, you know I love you
Ooooh, you know I need you
I don't mean maybe
You will always be my baby
#16)
I'd like to play a game that is so much fun
And it's not so very hard to do
#17)
He got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie
He can walk and stroll and Suzy Q
#18)
Well Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jumped over the candlestick
He jumped so high up above
#19)
People come to windows
They always stare at me
Shake their heads in sorrow
Sayin', "Who can that fool be?"
#20)
[background vocal]
So tell me how much you love me
Come near to me and say you need me now
[lead vocal]
Oh with you by my side
This world can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
#21)
Puzzled by the things he hears
His questions fall on their deaf ears
And the father thinking work comes first
Ain't got the time to quench a thirst
#22)
The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a-tumbling down
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
#23)
Johnny I said we were through
Just to see what you would do
You stood there and hung your head
Made me wish that I were dead
#24)
Burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
#T1)
I think I'm gonna cry
No matter how I try
I can't hold back the tears
It seems like a million years
#T2)
