1)When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur -And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
2)You know what-I didn't realize this Dylan tune had such a strange title-I knew it as you've got a lot of nerve but the Title was positively fourth street.
3)My daddy left home when I was three-And he didn't leave much to ma and me-Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
4)Though I know I'll never lose affection-For people and things that went before
5)I'll always remember that magic moment,When I held you close to me.
6)Pale moon shining on the fields below-Needn't tell me so because I know
7)Do you remember those days hanging out at the village green?-Engineer boots, leather jackets,and tight blue jeans
8)And the years rolled slowly past -And I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
9)The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake- as the children of the sun began to awake.
10)I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps-
11)Playing a fools game, hoping to win-Telling those sweet lies and losing again.
12) Childhood living is easy to do- The things you wanted I bought them for you -Graceless lady, you know who I am -You know I can't let you -slide through my hands
13)Her eyes they shone like the diamonds-You'd think she was Queen of the land
14)I can still feel the breeze-That rustles through the trees-And misty memories of days gone by

I did not know that Mr. Zimmerman was from Minnesota.
I also guessed #1 as "How Great Thou Art". Bette Midler also sang a version of #4.
Lynne is really good at this game. She's also right about Bob Dylan. I think he's from either Eveleth or Virginia (one of those Iron Range towns).
I'm better at bird ID games, but at my age, anything that makes me think is good! Keep 'em coming, Larry. ;-)
4. In My Life - The Beatles
7. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel

14. How Can You Mend a Broken Heart/the BeeGees
5. Could I Have This Dance/Anne Murray
I am so totally stumped on the rest. I think I can make out a melody for #6 in my head but I can't make it turn into anything.
Lynne,Patrick, and Ruthie J-thanks for playing.Good Job with the answers.-
6, 12, and 13 are still unsolved.-
6-Is an old time song from a famous Trumpet Player/singer
12-Is a song by a 60's British Rock Group.
13-Is a traditional Irish tune.
I will add some lyrics to the unsolved tunes-Oh yeah-Never got the title of the Dylan Song either.
#13...."And her hair hung over her shoulders, tied up with a BLACK VELVET BAND." My dad was a huge Irish Rovers fan and he had all their albums. As soon as you gave that hint, I knew. Wow, that brings back some memories....
Still don't know any of the others, though.
You've got it Ruthie J-Black Velvet Band it is.
6-Was Sleepy Time Down South-Louis Armstrong
12-Wild Horses-Rolling Stones.
