~Favorite Breakup Song~

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright - Bob Dylan

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

If you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

It'll never do, somehow

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on

But don't think twice, it's all right

And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed

An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road

But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay

We never did too much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right

So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

Like you never did before
And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

I can't hear you anymore

I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin', walkin' down the road,

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul

But don't think twice, it's all right

So long, honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell

Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You coulda done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Hit the road Jack!

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more. (What you say?)
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Oh! Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.

I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Now baby, listen baby, don't-a treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.

Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood

You ain't got no money you just ain't no good.

Well, I guess if you say so
I have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Don't you come back no more.
(What you say)

Don't you come back no more
(Come on baby)
Don't you come back no more

Amarillo by morning George Strait

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
When that sun is high in that Texas sky

I'll be bucking it to county fair.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe.
Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way.
Well I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate,
And I'm hoping that judge ain't blind.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind.

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.

Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine.
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.

My favorite “breakup” song is “Together” by the Miami Royal Palm Orchestra, from 1928. A British version from the same year by Ray Starita is available here. A more recent song in that category that I like is Bazoom, a bestseller from 1954 by The Cheers.

Below are some other great songs in this genre.

1. Who’s Blue Now? --Waring’s Pennsylvanians, 1928

2. Who’s Sorry Now?--Marion Harris, 1923

3. The Song is Ended--Ruth Etting, 1927

4. C. C. Rider Blues—Ma Rainey & Her Georgia Jazz Band, 1925
   (I also like the version by Bea Booze from 1943)

5. Thanks for the Memory--Bob Hope & Dorothy Lange, 1938

6. Lawdy, Miss Clawdy—Lloyd Price, 1952

7. I Went to Your Wedding--Patti Page, 1952

8. Maybe You’ll Be There--Gordon Jenkins & His Orchestra, 1948

9. It’s Almost Tomorrow--The Dream Weavers, 1955
   (That's a group from Coral Gables, Fla., not a computer program)

10. Tear Drops--Lee Andrews & the Hearts, 1958

[Taft in '52]

A recording of "I Go to Pieces" by Del Shannon is available here. This was a demo, apparently from 1964, which was not released until much later. I like it much better than Peter & Gordon's version.

[Taft in '52]

Anna (go to him) Beatles

One of the Fab Four's better songs. I like the original version by Arthur Alexander of New Orleans, which scored in the fall of 1962 and is available here.

[Taft in '52]

I like “Wee, Wee Hours” better than “Maybelline.” Stick McGhee & His Buddies recorded a different song with that same title from 1952 which really rocks—however I don’t think it’s available online. I had to send to Germany to get it on a CD.

[Taft in '52]

“Last Date” by Floyd Cramer.

I always considered that a food song--about fruit that comes from palm trees.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*HUG*
My pleasure, Boss!
;0)
Can we go to town this weekend?
LOL

[Taft in '52]

The Blue Diamonds, a couple of Indonesian ex-patriots living in Holland recorded a German-language version of "Sukiyaki" in 1963 that is actually about eating sukiyaki. You can hear it here. They also recorded an English version that is completely different and is available here.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do by the Patridge Family

How about Breaking Up is Hard to Do by Jivin' Gene, from the the late summer of 1959?

[Taft in '52]

Rock-and-roll waltzes are rare.

Indeed, they are, but here's one--Rock and Roll Waltz by Kay Starr.

[uncitizen]

Hi Fatima!

“The Break Up Song” by Greg Kihn.....

jk

Right now it’s “Already Gone” by Kelly Clarkson. At least i think it’s a breakup song....

[Captain Beyond]

Thanks for the videos :)

Thanks Fatima and MsBehavin taking the time to entertain our troops. I really appreciate what our troops are doing for us at this most dangerous time that we live. My prayers go out to them to stay safe and get the bad guys so freedom can continue for this great republic we live in. Thanks Troops!!! You are all super!!!

[Fiji Hill]

Bazoom? How about Sh boom by the Chords?
