And it’s all for the love of a dear little girl All for the love that sets your heart in a whirl I’m a man who’d give his life And the joys of this world All for the love of a girl. ================ Whispering Pines Written by (?) The snowflakes fall, as winter calls And time just seems to fly Is it the loneliness in me That makes me wanta cry My heart is sad like a mourning dove That's lost it's mate in flight Hear the cooing of his lonely heart Through the stillness of the night CHORUS: Whisperin' pines, whisperin' pines Tell me is it so Whisperin' pines, whisperin' pines You're the one who knows My darlin's gone, oh, she's gone And I need your sympathy Whisperin' pines, send my baby back to me See that squirrel up in the tree His mate there on the ground Hear their barking call of love For the happiness they've found Is my love still my love Oh, this I've gotta know Send a message by the wind Because I love her sop =================== Not Johnny this time but one of my all time favourites I was sung to sleep as child with this: Riders In the Sky By Vaughn Monroe An old cowpoke went ridin´ out one dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw A´plowin´ through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw (Yippie-eye-ay, Yippie-eye-oh) The ghost herd in the sky Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky For he saw the riders comin´ hard and he heard their mournful cry (Yippie-eye-ay, Yippie-eye-oh) Ghost riders in the sky Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat They´re ridin´ hard to catch that herd but they ain´t caught ´em yet ´cause they´ve got to ride forever on that range up in the sky On horses snortin´ fire, as they ride on, hear their cry Yippie-eye-oh, Yippie-eye-oh (Ghost riders in the sky) As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name ´If you wanna save your soul from hell a´ridin´ on our range´ ´Then, cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride´ ´A´tryin´ to catch the Devil´s herd across these endless skies.´ (Yippie-eye-ay) Yippie-eye-ay (Yippie-eye-oh) Yippie-eye-oh Ghost riders in the sky!
