GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #457 (GOLQ457)
Welcome to GOLQ457. There is one theme, which covers all 27 songs, including
the tie-breakers. Both tie-breakers are songs that were originally released in
the 1950s but before 1955, which makes them more than 70 years old! However,
both songs have been recorded by many artists since their original release.
I will accept either the original artist or an artist who later recorded each
song, provided that any later artist is not represented among songs #01-#25.
Two updates to my last quiz, GOLQ453: First, two of the sources I am using for
my personal classical music education do classify THREE PENNY OPERA as classical
music, so my inclusion of "Mack The Knife" by Bobby Darin does fit the main
theme as well as the second theme of that quiz. Second, multiple people emailed
me to tell me that the song to the tune of the "1812 Overture" by Tchaikovsky is
"Napoleon" by Mitch Miller & his Orchestra & Chorus. Thank you to those who did
so.
Finally, this quiz is dedicated to the memory of Roy Kaysen, long-time owner of
Memory Lane Records, Horsham, PA, who died in 2024. I bought many great CDs
from him for many years. I discovered many fine songs from these CDs, and at
least one is in this GOLQ.

My heart's at your command, dear
To keep, love, and to hold
Making you happy is my desire, dear
Keeping you is my goal
#01)
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
#02)
We stopped in Charlotte to bypass Black Hill
We never was a minute late
We was 90 miles out of Atlanta by sundown
Rollin' out of Georgia state
#03)
I said bye
Bye, bye baby
You won't see me no more
Bye little darlin'
Down the road I go
Down the road I go
Down the road I go
#04)
From his sports car to his Ivy League clothes
Aw, he was a man all right
Oh, but he was doin' her wrong
#05)
Hands, touching hands
Reaching out
Touching me, touching you
#06)
The way she walks
The way she talks
How long can I pretend
Oh I can't help it
I'm in love
#07)
Can't you see
I love you
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do
#08)
[female voice]
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
[male voice]
Woh, without your sweet love
What would life be
#09)
[spoken]
Could I have a little more echo on my voice?
[sung]
Although it's always crowded
[spoken]
That's got it
[sung]
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom
#10)
Mortals have dreams
Of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize
That love will sometimes bring a
#11)
Well, you never do nothing to save your doggone soul
#12)
Can't you see
You'd be a fool to cling to me
To live a lie would bring us pain
#13)
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know, Lord, I've been in a prison
For something that I've never done
#14)
Gonna kick off my shoes
Roll up my faded jeans
Grab my rock'n'roll baby
Pour on the steam
#15)
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
#16)
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met
I felt my life begin
So open up your heart
#17)
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
A light I never knowed
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
#18)
And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
#19)
[spoken]
Act 1 was when we met
I loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and
Never missed a cue
#20)
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe me
I'll never tie you down
#21)
Every time you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow
I can't help but think that you're meeting someone else tonight
#22)
Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
#23)
Every minute of the day
Every hour you're away
I feel so lo-oh-onely
And I can't help it
I don't think I can go on
#24)
How many times must those cannonballs be fired
'Fore they're forever banned
#25)

Tie-Breakers

Gonna tell my mama
Tell my papa too
So they'll know exactly what I'm gonna do
If you ever say goodbye
If you ever even try
#T1)
Train, train
Comin' on 'round the bend
Train, train
Comin' on 'round the bend
Well it took my baby
It's gon' do it again
