Subject: Ace in the hole From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 07 Feb 00 - 11:00 AM Listening to 2 different Beryl Bryden versions of Ace in the hole I noticed one was attributed to Cole Porter from the 1941 show Let's Face it and the other to "Trad-Dave Stewart". Her version of the Boy from New Orleans, which she was "given" by Louis Armstrong and adapted slightly after he died, is also given different attribution on 2 different cuts: to "Trad,-Beryl Bryden" and to "Roberts/Katz/Thiele!" (the tune is "the Saints"). Just an example of the Copyright minefield that other threads have touched on. I don't really need to know which is right! RtS |

Subject: Lyr Add: ACE IN THE HOLE (Dennis Adkins) From: Jim Dixon Date: 23 Mar 03 - 03:43 PM Lyrics copied from http://www.theurbancowboy.com/country/lyrics/straitgeorge/gs36.txt ACE IN THE HOLE (Dennis Adkins) CHORUS: You've got to have an ace in the hole, A little secret that nobody knows. Life is a gamble, a game we all play, But you need to save something for a rainy day. You've got to learn to play your cards right If you expect to win in life. Don't put it all on the line for just one roll. You've got to have an ace in the hole. If you're headed down a one-way street And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go, In money or love, or all the above, Have a little more than what you show. When life deals out a surprise Have a few surprises of your own. No matter what you do, no matter where you go, You've got to have an ace in the hole. CHORUS Don't put it all on the line for just one roll You've got to have an ace in the hole. No matter what you do, no matter where you go You've got to have an ace in the hole. [Recorded by George Strait.] |
Subject: Lyr Add: ACE IN THE HOLE (Paul Simon) From: Jim Dixon Date: 23 Mar 03 - 03:44 PM Lyrics copied from http://www.paulsimon.com/lyrics/ace_in_the_hole.html ACE IN THE HOLE (Paul Simon) Some people say Jesus that's the ace in the hole But I never met the man so l don't really know Maybe some Christmas if I'm sick and alone He will look up my number Call me on the phone and say Hey, boy, where you been so long Don't you know me I'm your ace in the hole Two hundred dollars, that's my ace in the hole When I'm down, dirty and desperate That's my emergency bankroll (I got . . .) Two hundred dollars, that's the price on the street If you wanna get some quality That's the price you got to meet (and the man says...) Hey, Junior, where you been so long Don't you know me I'm your ace in the hole (Talk about ace in the hole) Once I was crazy and my ace in the hole Was that I knew that I was crazy So I never lost my self-control I just walk in the middle of the road I sleep in the middle of the bed I stop in the middle of a sentence And the voice in the middle of my head said Hey, Junior, where you been so long Don't you know me I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah) Ace in the hole Lean on me Don't you know me I'm your guarantee Riding on this rolling bus Beneath a stormy sky With a slow moon rising And the smokestacks driving by In the hour when the heart is weakest And the memory is strong When time has stopped But the bus just rolls along Roll on, roll on Roll on, roll on Roll on, roll on Some people say music that's their ace in the hole Just your ordinary rhythm and blues Your basic rock and roll You can sit on the top of the beat You can lean on the side of the beat You can hang from the bottom of the beat But you got to admit that the music is sweet Where you been so long Don't you know me I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah) Ace in the hole Lean on me Don't you know me I'm your guarantee Some people say music that's their ace in the hole Just your ordinary rhythm and blues Your basic rock and roll You can sit on the top of the beat You can lean on the side of the beat You can hang from the bottom of the beat But you gotta admit that the music is sweet Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole [Recorded by Paul Simon on "One Trick Pony."] |
