Well, they're buildin' the gallows
outside this jail
I've got 25 minutes to go
And the whole towns waiting
just to hear me wail
There's 24 minutes to go

Well, they give me some beans
for my last meal
23 minutes to go
And nobody asked me
how I feel
22 minutes to go

So, I sent for the Gov'nor
and the whole darned bunch
21 minutes to go
And I call up the Mayor,
but he's out to lunch
I got 20 more minutes to go

Then, the Sheriff said, "Boy,
I wanna watch you die"
You've got 19 minutes to go
So I laughed in his face...
and I spit in his eye
I got 18 minutes to go

Then I called up the Warden
to hear my plea
I've got 17 minute to go
He said, "Call me back
in a week or three
You've got 16 minutes to go

Now, my lawyer says he's sorry
that he missed my case
I've got 15 minutes to go
Well, if you're so sorry,
come and take my place
I got 14 minutes to go

Now, here comes the padre
to save my soul
With 13 minutes to go
And he's talkin' about burnin',
but I'm so cold
I've got 12 minutes to go

Now they're testin' the trap
And it chills my spine
11 more minutes to go
And the trap and the rope,
ah they works just fine
I've got 10 minutes to go

Well, I'm a-waitin' for the pardon,
gonna set me free
With 9 minutes to go
But this ain't the movies,
so forget about me
I got 8 minutes to go

Now I'm climbin' up the ladder
to the scaffold there
With 7 minutes to go
Now I'd better watch my step
or else I'll break my leg
I got 6 minutes to go

With my feet on the trap
and my head in the noose
5 minutes to go
Won't someone come
and cut me loose
I got 4 minutes to go

I can see the mountains,
see the sky
3 minutes to go
And it's too darned pretty
for a man don't wanna die
I got 2 minutes to go

I can hear the buzzards,
hear the crows
1 minute to go
And now I'm swingin'
and here I gooooooooo ...

Bom-bom-bom...

The year was Nineteen-Hundred
T'is worth remembering
The men who lived through
Fifty-five days at Peking

T'was called the Boxer Insurrection
A bloody, Oriental war
Against all nations
Of the Diplomatic Corps

The flags of France and Britain
How they fluttered in the breeze
The Italian and the Russian
And the flag of the Japanese

Then came the sound of bugles
The rolling drums of fury
And the streets of Peking
Were as empty as a tomb

Bom-bom-bom...

The Empress of all China
Gave the signal to begin
Let the foreign devils
Be driven from Peking

They stormed the French Ligation
They attacked with shot and shell
And they came in blood red blouses
Screaming "Sha Shou" as they fell

The drums have long been muffled
The bugles cease to ring
But through the ages
You can hear them echoing

Bom-bom-bom...
Fifty-five days at Peking

Bom-bom-bom...
Fifty-five days at Peking

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom...

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen.
Woman there, they don't treat you mean
In Abilene

I sit alone, every night
Watch the trains roll out of sight
How I wish they'd carry me back
To Abilene

Wish I could go there
The girl that I know there
Would love me all of my day
Why did I leave her
Never to see her
Oh, What a price to pay

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen.
Woman there, they don't treat you mean
In Abilene

Has anybody here,
Seen my old friend Abraham,
Can you tell me, where he's gone,
He freed a lotta people,
But it seems the good die young,
I just looked around,
And he's gone

=1, but "John"

=1, but "Martin"

Didn't you love the things they stood for,
Didn't they try to find
Some good for you and me,
And we'll be free,
Someday soon it's gonna be one day

=1, but "Bobby" ... he's gone,
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John

Affair On Eight Avenue

Rolling home [x3] across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home dear land to thee

Six years since I seen Dover
now we’re nearing England’s Shore
Six more days to ride the West wind
And I’ll ride the wind no more

Rolling home... dear land to thee

Dawn you welcome light of morning
Shine you summer sun above
Blow you gentle winds from westward
Guide us home to those we love

Rolling home... dear land to thee
Rolling home, rolling home, rolling home

And our fingers entwined
Like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway
Womewhere in the night

Her long flowing hair
Came softly undone
And it lay all around
And she brushed it down
As I stood by her side
In the warmth of her love

And she showed me her
Treasures of paper and tin
And then we played a game
Only she could win

And she told me a riddle
I'll never forget
Then left with the answer
I've never found yet

How long, said she,
Can a moment like this
Belong to someone
What's wrong, what is right,
When to live or to die
We must almost be born

So if you should ask me
What secrets I hide
I'm only your lover,
Don't make me decide

The perfume that she wore
Was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on
Long after she'd gone
I remember it well

Gordon Lightfoot

Almost Persuaded

Last night, all alone in a bar room,
Met a girl with a drink in her hand,
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair.
And eyes that would tempt any man

Then she came and sat down at my table,
And as she placed her soft hands in mine;
I found myself wanting to kiss her,
For temptation was flowing like wine

And I was almost persuaded,
To strip myself of my pride;
Almost persuaded,
To push my conscience aside

Then we danced and she whispered, I need you,
Take me away from here, and be my man;
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it,
The reflection of my wedding band

And I was almost persuaded,
To let strange lips lead me on;
Almost persuaded,
But your sweet love made me stop and go home

Am I That Easy To Forget

Written by Carl Belew and W. S. Stevenson

They say you've found somebody new,
But that won't stop my loving you.
I just can't let you walk away,
Forget the love I had for you.

Guess I could find somebody, new,
But I don't wan't no one but you.
How could you leave without regret?
Am I that easy to forget?

Before you leave be sure you find
You want his love much more than mine.
'Cause I'll just say we've never met,
If I'm that easy to forget.

Guess I could find somebody, new,
But I don't wan't no one but you.
How could you leave without regret?
Your not that easy to forget?..

Angel Band

My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run,
My strongest trials now are past, my triumph is begun.
Oh, come angel band, come and around me, stand,
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home.
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home.

Oh, bear my longing heart to Him,
Who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin,
And gives me victory
Oh, come angel band, come and around me, stand
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home...

Teach you all the things you lack

Well, you never got time to sweep the dirt
Mama's got to take you back,
And you never got time to wash a shirt,
Mama's got to take you back,
You never got time to cook and peel
Mama's got to take you back,
Well, you think you can make it on sex appeal

When she bring her back to me
We'll live together in harmony

Oh well, you never learn how to cook a stew
Mama's got to take you back,
And your biscuits, Lord, I can hardly chew,
Mama's got to take you back,
These clothes I'm wearing they're full of holes
Mama's got to take you back,
While you run around in a big mink stole,
Mama's got to take you back,

Mama's got ... in harmony

Angelique-O...

Teach you all the things you lack,
Mama's got to take you back...

Away In A Manger

Away in a manger,
No crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head

Away in a manger,
No crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head

The stars in the heavens
Looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing,
The poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying he makes

I love thee, Lord Jesus!
Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle
'Til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love and ask me to stay

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
The stars in the heaven
Look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The Ballad of Sam Hall

Well, my name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall
Yes, my name it is Sam Hall; it is Sam Hall
My name it is Sam Hall
An' I hate you, one and all [x2]
Damn your eyes

I killed a man, they said; so they said [x2]

An' I smashed in his head
An' I left him layin' dead
Damn his eyes

But a-swingin', I must go; I must go
A-swingin', I must go; I must go
A-swingin', I must go
While you critters down below
Yell up: "Sam, I told you so"
Well, damn your eyes!

I saw Molly in the crowd; in the crowd [x2]
I saw Molly in the crowd
An' I hollered, right out loud
"Hey there Molly, ain't you proud?
Damn your eyes"

Then the Sherriff, he came to; he came to
Ah, yeah, the Sherriff, he came to; he came to
The Sherriff, he come to
An he said: "Sam, how are you?"
An I said: "Well, Sherriff, how are you
Damn your eyes"

My name is Samuel, Samuel [x2]
My name is Samuel,
An' I'll see you all in hell [x2]

Banua

Banua, Banua, Banua, oh
Banua, Banua, baby, I don't know

Won't you come to me, baby?
Won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night
They put down in the Banua jail
Banua, Banua, Banua, oh, oh, oh, oh ... I don't know

I didn't mean to be fightin'
And bringin' you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathan Brighton
Was scandalizin' your name
Banua, Banua, Banua, oh
Banua, Banua, baby, I don't know

This Banua jail is cold and damp
The rats, they cover the floor
Just ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more, soft
Banua, Banua, Banua, oh, oh, oh, oh ...
I don't know

The Beast

Feeding a beast that don't like me
It don't give a darn about how I feel
As long as I feed it its ration of steel

And pity the man who knows the grief
That comes with the bite of that monster's teeth
Pity the man ... monster's teeth

Watch your mitts at the start of the stroke
It's a re-peat killer, and will go for broke
It shoulda been melted 'bout twenty years back
But it feeds the boss and he loves that snack

Oh, Beast, spare my hands
I'll use them to slay you if I get the chance
Oh, Beast ... the chance

There ain't no guards to slow up a man
Keep your foot on the pedal and your eye on the ram

If your hand should slip, why the boss don't shout
He just buys new fingers as he throws you out

There's plenty of hands to feed the jaws
The press don't stop when there ain't no cause
There's plenty ... no cause

There ain't one man out on the press
Who wouldn't quit if jobs weren't scarce
But a man has to have his daily meal
And that Beast's gotta have its cold rolled steel

Deep inside remain the dreams
That make us the masters of the machines
While deep ... machines

Well, now, I got a job in a factory
Feeding a beast that don't like me
It don't give a darn about how I feel
As long as I feed it its ration of steel
Long as I feed it its ration of steel

Gather 'round people let me tell you 'bout Dupree
Gather 'round people let me tell you 'bout Dupree
And his woman back in 1903
Betty was her name said she wanted a diamond ring
Betty was her name said she wanted a diamond ring.

Dupree told Betty you can have most anything
Just lay down pretty Betty see what tomorrow brings
Said lay down pretty Betty see what tomorrow brings
May bring sunshine it may bring your diamond ring.

Dupree went down-town a '44 in his hand
Dupree went down-town a '44 in his hand
Went for the jewelry but he shot that jewelry man
Dupree said Betty here's your diamond ring
Dupree said Betty here's your diamond ring
Just to please you pretty Betty I've done, done a wicked thing.

Dupree told Betty I'm bound for Tennessee
Dupree told Betty I'm bound for Tennessee
I'm sorry pretty Betty but that sheriff is a haunting me
They caught poor Dupree and put him into the jail
Caught poor Dupree put him in the jail

Atlanta prison is where Betty took Dupree his mail
Dupree said judge I ain't been here before
Dupree said judge I ain't been here before
Judge told Dupree I'm gonna see that you don't come back no more.

They took him to the scaffold a black cap upon his face
Took him to the scaffold a black cap upon his face
Now the cold cold ground is for Dupree's resting place
Betty went to the graveyard singing near oh my God to thee
Betty went to the graveyard singing near oh my God to thee.

Oh, mister hangman look what you done done to Dupree
She told the hack-driver to drive his wagon slow
Told the hack-driver drive your dead wagon slow
When you bury my Dupree I ain't gonna see him no more.

Sail on Dupree sail on, sail on Dupree sail on
Don't mind you sailing but you be gone so long
So long Dupree poor boy so long, Dupree poor boy
Don't mind you sailing you'll be gone so long, sail on.

Dupree poor boy...

Beautiful Brown Eyes

Beautiful beautiful brown eyes [x3]
I'll never love blue eyes again

Molly my darling, I love you
Love you with all of my heart
Tomorrow we were to be married
But ramblin' has kept us apart.

Beautiful beautiful brown eyes [x3]
I'll never love blue eyes again

Life's full of struggle and sorrow
Life's full of heartaches and woes
And I need the love of my woman
To guide me where ever I go

Beautiful beautiful brown eyes [x3]
I'll never love blue eyes again

I'll never love blue eyes again

Beautiful Lies

Beautiful lies, beautiful lies,
Each word is a heartache
In perfect diguise;
I can't help but listen'
And then realize,
The words you have spoken
Are beautiful lies.

Call me a dreamer
In a fool's paridise,
My heart knows no difference
At love it's unwise;
Tell me you love me
And will till you die,
Like music you thrill me
With beautiful lies

I hear wedding bells ringing,
I have stars in my eyes,
I see red roses blooming,
A rainbow in the sky
All sweet things come to me
In the twinkle of an eye,
When you hold me and tell me
Those beautiful lies.

Beautiful lies ... beautiful lies

Beautiful lies

Before The Next Teardrop Falls

If she brings you happiness
Then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if she ever breaks your heart
If the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.

Though it hurts to let you go
Darling, I want you to know
That I'll stand by you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear
That she's made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.

I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away every teardrop that you cry
If she ever leaves you blue
Just remember I love you
And I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls.

I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls

Beneath The Willow

My heart is sad and I am lonely
For the only girl I love
And now I know I'll never see her
Until we meet in heaven above

Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
And when she'll learn that I am sleeping
Then I know she'll think of me

She told me that she loved me dearly
I answered that I loved her too
But then the willow seem to whisper
She will prove untrue to you

Oh, bury ... she'll think of me

Tomorrow was to be our wedding
I wonder where my love can be
She's gone, she's gone to seek another
She no longer cares for me

Oh, bury ... she'll think of me
Then I know she'll think of me

Big Bad John

(Big John, Big John)

(Spoken)
Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said "Hi" to Big John.

Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Loosiana fellow to the Promised Land, Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd
Breathed their last-'cept John

Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above!"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left down there to save, Big John

With jacks and timbers they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Now, they never reopened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few words are written on that stand
"At the bottom of this mine lies a BIG BIG man, Big John"
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

(Big John, Big John, Big John)...

Blowin' In The Wind

How many roads must a man walk down,
before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail,
before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly,
before they are forever banned

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see

The answer ...

<Play> How many times must a man look up,
before he can see the sky

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

The answer, my friend, the Answer is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind...

Seven Daffodils

I may not have mansion, I haven't any land
Not even a paper dollar to crinkle in my hands
But I can show you morning on a thousand hills
And kiss you and give you seven daffodils

I do not have a fortune to buy you pretty things
But I can weave you moonbeams for necklaces and rings
And I can show you morning on a thousand hills
And kiss you and give you seven daffodils

Oh, seven golden daffodils all shining in the sun
To light our way to evening when our day is done
And I will give music and a crust of bread
And a pillow of piny boughs to rest your head

A pillow of piny boughs to rest your head

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly
The darkness comes so slowly
Softly, softly
The night is creeping in

Can't you see the shadows
Falling down the hill?
Can't you hear the quiet winds
Saying all is still, saying all is still?

Lonely, lonely
Without you I'm so lonely
Longing, longing
To hold you once again

How I miss the sweet sound
Of the baby's cry
And the soothing, soft sound
Of the lullaby, of the lullaby

Blue Water Line

The City Council met last night, the vote was four to three
To tear the home town depot down and build a factory
To take that stretch of history and tear it off the map
And to take old engine number nine and turn it into scrap

Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
If you can't afford a quarter
then you ought to give a dime
If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line

Oh I could tell you stories of the glories of that train
Of the 49'er miners and the time old Jesse James
Stole a thousand golden nuggets in that great train robbery
And when old Abe Lincoln rode with Tad upon his knee

Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
If you can't afford a quarter
then you ought to give a dime
If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line

Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
If you can't afford a quarter
then you ought to give a dime
If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line

If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line

Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line

The Borning Day

Fred Hellerman / Fran Minkoff

Mary and the baby hungry
Yes, we know what hungry be
So we bring them peas and rice
And a little ginger tea
Only pigeon peas and rice
A little ginger tea
Mary thank us with her eyes
She poor the same as we
She poor the same as we

Mary and the baby lonely
Lonely is not good to be
So we sit awhile and chat awhile
To keep them company
Stay awhile makes the baby smile
Pass the time of day
When we see how pleased they be
It make us glad we stay
So glad that we could stay

Mary and the baby weary
Oh, we know what weary be
So we make a bed and pillow
for their head
With down from the muhow tree
Only down from the muhow tree
To rest them soft and good
We feel bad this was all we had
We do the best we could
We do the best we could

Mary and the baby rest easy
We go away and let them be
On hush tip toe and voice kept low
We look up and see
Stars of hope shine in the sky
To mark the baby's birth
Seemed to say it's borning day
Of better times on earth
Of better times on earth

Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds, at all.

Moons and jeans and ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real;
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show.
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know,
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions that I recall.
I really don't know love, at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way.

But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I've changed.
But, something's lost and something's gained
In living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life, at all...

Brighten The Corner Where You Are

Brighten the corner where you are! [x2]
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar
Brighten the corner where you are!

Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do
Do not wait to shed your light afar
To the many duties ever near you now be true
Brighten the corner where you are

Brighten ... where you are!

Here for all your talent you may surely find a need
Here reflect the bright and Morning Star
Even from your humble hand the Bread of Life may feed
Brighten the corner where you are

Brighten ... where you are!

Buttons And Bows

East is east and west is west
And the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where they keep on wearin'
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows.

Don't bury me in this prairie
Take me where the cement grows
Let's move down to some big town
Where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes
And you'll stand out, In buttons and bows.

I'll love you in buckskin
Or skirts that you've homespun
But I'll love ya' longer, stronger where
Yer friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin'
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows

<Play>

Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
And French perfume that rocks the room
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows.

Buttons and bows, buttons and bows

Can't Smile Without You

You know I can't smile without you
Can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I just can't smile

I feel sad when your sad
Feel glad when your glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile, without you

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who'd believe that you were part of my dreams
Now it all seems light years away

Now you know that I can't smile without you
Can't smile without you
I can't laugh I can't sing
Finding it hard to do anything

I feel sad ... without you

Some people say that happy this way
That's so very hard to find
Well I find it hard
Leaving your love behind me

I can't smile without you
Can't smile without you

I can't smile without you
Can't smile without you

Columbus Stockade Blues

Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Want to be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Friends have turned their backs on me

Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
If in your heart you love another
Leave me darling, I don't mind

Last night as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke I was mistaken
I was peeking through the bars

Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
If in your heart you love another
Leave me darling, I don't mind

Leave me darling, I don't mind

Come For To Carry Me Home

I looked over Jordan
And what did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home
A band of angels
Comin' after me
Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home [x2]

If you get there
Before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Tell all my friends
I'll be there soon
Comin' for to carry me home / Swing low... me home

Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
Comin' for to carry me home
But still my soul
Feels judgement bound
Comin' for to carry me home / Swing low... me home

Comin' for to carry me home

Come To My Bedside My Darlin'

Come to my bedside, my darlin'
Come over here and gently close the door
Lay your body soft and close beside me
And drop your petticoat upon the floor

I've waited for you, oh such a long time
I plan a plan on every new day born
Words cannot express one thing I'm sure of
That it's in my loving arms where you belong

Your breast have told my ear life's golden secrets
Your back has shown my fingers endless roads
Your lips have whispered wisdom that is timeless
'Bout life and death and things I never know

Come to my ... upon the floor

Your eyes are bluer than the mountain waters
Your hair is flowin' dark and flowin' long
You skin has more gold than a morning sunrise
And it's softer than the breeze of the summer's Dawn

So come ... upon the floor

The Damsel's Lament (I Never Will Marry)

Some say that love’s a gentle thing
But it’s only brought me pain
“Cause the only one I ever did love
Has gone with the midnight train.

I never will marry, never take me a wife
I expect to live single all the rest of my life

The train pulled out the whistle blew
With a low and a lonesome mourn
She’s gone, she’s gone like the midnight dew
And left me here alone.

I never will marry, never take me a wife
I expect to live single all the rest of my life

There’s many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the clouds design
There’s many a change in a young girls heart
But never a change in mine.

I never will marry, never take me a wife
I expect to live single all the rest of my life

Dear Heart

Dear heart, wish you were here to warm this night
My dear heart, seems like a year
Since you’ve been out of my sight

A single room, a table for one
It’s a lonesome town all right
But soon I’ll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart, I want you to know
I’ll leave your arms, never more

A single room, a table for one
It’s a lonesome town all right
But soon I’ll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart, I want you to know
I’ll leave your arms, never more

Dance Me A Jig

Get along there Jeff Davis
Get along there General Lee!

I’m going up to the Freedom Land
Got me two pigs, got 'em here in my hand
The Bible says it’s wrong to steal and tell lies
So I asked mighty Lord to close all his eyes

While I dance me a jig and I dance me a jog,
'Cause I got me a pig and I got me a hog
Ain't no one gonna take 'em from me

Get along ... General Lee!

I didn’t want no posses chasing after me
So I took all the livestock and set 'em free
(Now master's so mad that he’s liable to bust
'Cause he gotta catch 'em all while I’m kicking up dust

While I dance ... General Lee!

If you pigs are wondering how you got your names
Well, you and them two rascals are just the same
And if you don’t stop acting like your two namesakes
I’ll have roast pork in the morning and tasty ham steaks

While I dance ... Jeff Davis
Get along there fool!

I am an old woman, but I’d like to bet
That I’m one woman old master won’t forget
The look on his face will be something to see
When he finds the pigs are gone - and I am free!

I’m going up ... all his eyes

While I dance ... General Lee!

My Little John Henry

It was early one mornin'
And it looked like ra-a-ain
When around that curve, boy,
I spied a gravel train
Oh, my little John Henry
He got a mighty know
Oh, my little ... mighty know

I got a woman in Dallas--
Work at the Baker Hotel--
Some folks call her Maggie,
Real name is Katie Bell.
Oh, my little ... mighty know [x2]

It was early one mornin'
And it looked like ra-a-ain (oh, it looked like rain)
When around that curve, boy,
I spied a gravel train
Oh, my little ... mighty know

He got a mighty know [x2]
He got a mighty, mighty know

Whiskey In The Jar

I have been a rover, I have been a bold deceiver
And now I earn my livin' with my pistol and my rapier
I don't know what I've stolen, but 'twould make a pretty penny
And now I've lost it all to my darlin' sportin' Jenny

Musha rig um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy-o [x2]
There's whiskey in the jar

I robbed Colonel Farrell up on Gilgarry Mountain
I took the gold to Jenny just to help me with the countin'
But Jenny called the guards, Lord, I've never saw so many
I almost lost my freedom with my darlin' sportin' Jenny

Musha rig ... in the jar

I'd like to find me brother, he's the one that's in the army
I don't know where he's stationed, be it Cork or in Kilarney
Together we'd go rovin' o'er the mountains of Kilkenny
I'd swear he'd treat me fairer than my darlin' sportin' Jenny

Musha rig ... in the jar

'Twas early in the morning at the barracks of Kilarney
My brother took his leave but he didn't tell the army
Our horses, they were speedy, 'twas all over but the shoutin'
Now we make our livin' up on Gilgarry Mountain

Musha rig ... in the jar [x2]

Darlin' Sportin' Jenny

As I was a goin' over Kilgary mountain
I met colonel Pepper and his money he was countin'
I rattled me pistols and I drew forth my saber
Sayin' "Stand and deliver, for I am the bold deceiver."

Musha rig um du rum da
Wack fol the daddy-o
Wack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

The shinin' golden coins did look so bright and jolly
I took 'em to me home and I gave 'em to me Molly
She vowed and she promised that she never would deceive me
But the devil's in the women and they never can be easy.

Musha rig ... in the jar

When I was awakened between six and seven
The guards were all around me in numbers odd and even
I flew for me pistols but alas I was mistaken
For Molly's drawn my pistols and a prisoner I was taken.

Musha rig ... in the jar

They put me in jail without judge or writin'
For robbing Colonel Pepper on that Kilgary Mountain
But they didn't take my fists so I knocked that sentry down
And bid a fond farewell to that jail in Sligo town.

Musha rig ... in the jar

Now some take delight in fishin' and bowlin'
While others take delight in their carriages a-rollin'
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting' pretty girls in the morning so early.

Musha rig ... in the jar

Darling Corey

Fred Brooks

Wake up, wake up Darlin' Cora
Wanna see you one more time
The sheriff and his hound dogs a coming
I gotta move on down the line

I don't know why darlin' Cora
Don't know what the reason can be
But I never had found a single town
Where me and my boss-man agree

I ain't a man to be played with
I ain't nobody's toy
Been working for my pay for a long, long time
How come he still calls me boy

Well I'd rather drink muddy water
And sleep in a hollowed out log
Than to hang around in this old town
And be treated like a dirty dog

Well I whopped that man darlin' Cora
And he fell down where he stood
Don't know if I was wrong darlin' Cora
But Lord it sure felt good

If it wasn't so dark darlin' Cora
You'd see tears trickling down my face

It breaks my heart darlin' Cora
But I got to leave this place

Wake up, wake up darlin' Cora

Easy Lovin'

Easy lovin' so sexy lookin'
I know from the feelin'

To count all my blessings

So real to life it seems
Upon your pretty shoulders
There's a pair of angel wings

Easy lovin' seein's believin'
Life with you's like livin'
In a beautiful dream

Everytime .... angel wings

Easy lovin' ... dream

Detroit City

I wanna go home, I wanna go home,
Oh, how I want to go home

Last night, I went to sleep in Detroit City
And I dreamed about those cotton fields at home
I dreamed about my mother
Dear old papa, sister and brother
I dreamed about that girl
Who's been waiting for so long

I wanna ... go home!

Home, folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write, they think I'm fine
But by day, I make the cars
By night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines!

- You know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit City.
And after all these years
I find I've just been wastin' my time
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride
And I'll put on a south bound freight and ride
Go on back to the love ones
The ones I left waitin' so far behind

I wanna ... go home

Don't Let The Rain Come Down

Oh, no, don't let the rain come down [x3]
My roofs got a hole in it and I might drown
Oh, yes, my roofs got a hole in it and I might drown

There was a crooked man and he had a crooked smile
Had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse
They all lived together in a crooked little house

Oh, no ... drown

Well, this crooked little man and his crooked little smile
Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Bought some crooked nails and a crooked bat
Tried to fix his roof with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat

Oh, no ... drown

Now this crooked little man and his crooked cat and mouse
They all live together in a crooked little house
Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch
Has a crooked roof with a crooked little patch

Oh, no ... drown
Oh, yes, my roofs got a hole in it and I might drown

Dream Lover

(written by: Bobby Darin)

Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
You're the magic of her charms
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you?
With a love, oh, so true?
And I hand that can hold,
To feel you near as I grow old?
'Cause I want ... dream alone

Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want ... dream alone

Dream lover, until then,
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do,
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want ... dream alone

Please, don't make me dream alone
Baby, don't make me dream alone
No, I don't wanna dream

Don't Think Twice It's Alright

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, dear
If you don't know by now
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, dear
'Cause it don't matter anyhow
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelling on
Don't think twice it's all right

It ain't no use in turning on your light, dear
The light, the light I've never known
It ain't no use in turning on your light, dear
I'm on the dark side of the road
Well, I wish there was something you could do or say
To try to make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Don't think twice, it's all right

I'm walking down that long lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye is too good a word gal
So I'll just say, "Fare thee well"
Now, I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better, but I don't mind
You just sort of wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you've never did before
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore
Well, I'm thinking and I'm wondering, all the way down the road
I once loved a woman - A child I'm told
I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right [x3]

Shenandoah

Far away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away. I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

For seven years I courted Sally
Far away, you rollin' river
For seven more I longed to love her
Away. I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I bound to leave you
Far away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, away
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you

East Virginia

Do do do ...

I was born in east Virginia
North Carolina I did go
There I loved a fair young maiden
Whose age and name I did not know

Oh, her hair was dark and curly
And her cheeks were rosey red
On her breast she wore a liliy
Where I longed to lay my head

I don't want those greenback dollars
I don't want no golden chain
In this world there is no treasure
That can bring her back, again

Take me to that borrowed fortune
And carve my name upon a stone
Tell the world how much I love her
And how I died for love alone

I was born in ... I did not know

Do do do ...

Eddystone Light

Yo ho, Here's a tale
That's fair and dear to the hearts of those that sail
'Bout a lighthouse keeper and his bare faced wife
Who joined together for a different life
Yo ho, The winds and water tell the tale

My father was the keeper of the Eddystone light
He married a mermaid one fine night
From this union there came three
A porpoise and a porgy and the other one me!

Yo ho ho, the wind blows free,
Oh, for the life on the rolling sea!

Late one night, I was a-trimming of the glim
While singing a verse from the evening hymn
A voice on the starboard shouted "Ahoy!"
And there was my mother, a-sitting on a buoy

Yo ho ho, the wind blows free,
Oh, for the life on the rolling sea!

"Tell me what has become of my children three?"
My mother she did asked of me.
One was exhibited as a talking fish
The other was served on a chafing dish.

Yo ho ho, the wind blows free,
Oh, for the life on the rolling sea!

Then the phosphorous flashed in her seaweed hair.
I looked again, and me mother wasn't there
A voice came echoing out from the night
"To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light!"

Yo ho ho, the wind blows free,
Oh, for the life on the rolling sea!

Yo ho, Yo ho
Yo ho,Yo ho, Yo ho...

Out in the west Texan town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina
Music would play and Feleena would whirl
Blacker than night were the eyes of Feleena
Wicked and evil while casting a spell

My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I was in love but in vain I could tell
One night a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the west Texas wind
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing
With wicked Feleena the girl that I loved

So in danger I challenged
His right for the love of this maiden
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
My challenege was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
Just for a moment I stood there in silence
Shocked by the foul deed I had done
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
I had but one chance and that was to run

Out to the backdoor of Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away I did ride
Just as fast as I could
From the west Texas town of El Paso
Out to the badlands of New Mexico

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
Everything's gone in life nothing is left
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fears of death
I saddled up and away I did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet would find me
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart

And at last here I am on the hill
Overlooking El Paso I can see Rosa's Cantina below
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
Down off the hill to Feleena I go
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
I have to make it to Rosa's backdoor

Something is dreadfuly wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
I'm getting weary unable to ride
But my love for Feleena is strong and
I rise where I've fallen
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
From out of nowhere Feleena has found me
kissing my cheeks as she kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
One little kiss then Feleena, goodbye

The Song From Moulin Rouge

Words by: William Engvick
Music by : Georges Aurie

Whenever we kiss
I worry and wonder
Your lips may be near
But where is your heart?

It's always like this
I worry and wonder
You're lips maybe here
But where is your heart?

It's a sad thing to realize
That you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss, do you close your eyes
Pretending that I'm someone else?

You must break the spell
This cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
Darling, where is your heart?..

Eternally

Charlie Chaplin / Geoffrey Parsons / James Turneк

(NOTE: also known as "Theme from Limelight"
and "Terry's Theme")

I'll be loving you eternally (eternally)
With a love that's true, eternally (eternally)
From the start, within my heart
It seems I've always known
The sun would shine (shine)
When you were mine (mine)
And mine alone (mine alone)

I'll be loving you eternally (eternally)
There'll be no one new, my dear, for me (eternally)
Though the sky should fall
Remember I shall always be
Forever true (true)
And loving you (you)
Eternally

Fall Softly Snow

Jim Ed Brown & Helen Cornelius
(Jean Surrey)

Fall softly snow
Blanket everything with purest white
FSS Everything is holy here tonight
Shepherd boy upon the hill
Bid your flock be very still
FSS A child is born tonight

Shine brightly star
Wisemen bearing gifts come from afar
Oh Holy light, brightest of them all, the Eastern Star
Herald angels from on high,
Sing a tender lullaby
FSS A child is born tonight

The time is here
Oh Holy Night, the angels sing
And from on high, heavenly hosts proclaim the King
In the manger by her side,
Mary's eyes are filled with pride
FSS FSS

The Christ child has just arrived
Silent night

The Song Of The Ox Drivers

To me rol, to me rol, to my rodeo
To me rol, to me rol, to my rodeo
To my rodeo, to my rodeo
To me rol, to me rol, to my rodeo.

It was early in October-o
I hitched my team in order-o
To ride the hills of Saludio
To me rol, to me rol, to my rodeo.

I pop my whip and I bring the blood
I make the leaders take the mud
We grab the wheels and we turn them around
One long pull and we're on hard ground.

When I got there the hills were steep
'T would make any tender person weep
To hear me course and pop my whip
And see my oxen pull and slip.

When I get home I'll have revenge
I'll have my family, I'll have my friends
I'll say goodbye to the whip and line
And drive no more in the wintertime

Feed The Birds

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In her own special way to the people she calls,
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs
Come feed the little birds, show them you care

And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry,
Their nests are so bare
All it takes is tuppence from you"

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
While overhead, her birds fill the skies

All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares

Though her words are simple and few,
Listen, listen, she's calling to you:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"

"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag"

The First Time Ever

(Ewan MacColl)

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command.

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last 'till the end of time my love
And would last 'till the end of time.

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies

St James Infirmary

I went down to the St. James Infirmary,
Saw my sweet baby there;
Lying still and quiet,
So cold, so young, so fair.

Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
Wherever she may be,
She may search this wide world over,
But she'll never find a man like me.
No, she'll never find a man like me.

I went down to the St. James Infirmary,
All was still as the night;
My gal was on the table,
Stretched out so pale, so white.

Though she treated me, mean and lowdown,
Some how I just didn't care;
My soul is sick and weary,
But I hope we meet again, up there.

Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
Wherever she may be;
She may search this wild world over,
But she'll never find a man like me.
No, she'll never find a man like me

The fox went out to the chase one night
Prayed to the moon to give him light
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o town-o,
Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town [x2]

He ran 'til he came to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in
Said a couple of you gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town o, town o, town o
Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town [x2]

He grabbed the grey goose by the neck
Throwed a duck across his back
He didn't amind with the quack, quack quack
And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o
Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack
And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o
Didn't amind ... down-o

Old mother Flipper Flapper jumped out of bed
Out of the window she cocked her head
Cryin' John, John the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
John, John the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o
John, John ... the town-o

Well, the fox he came to his own den
There were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
Saying Daddy you better go back again
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
Saying Daddy you better go back again
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town
Saying Daddy ... fine town

Well, the fox and his wife without any strife
Cut up the goose with a carving knife
They never had such a supper in their life

Farewell, goodbye, adios

Singing, dancing everywhere, ***

Then Frog and Mouse went off to France
That's the end of my romance, ***

Honey Wind Blows

The honey wind blows
And the warm days dwindle
The butterfly spins a silk cacoon
On a silvery spindle.

The petals fall
From the last red rose
The last red rose
When the honey wind blows.

The petals fall
And the summer goes
The summer goes
When the honey wind blows

The honey wind blows
And the days grow colder
Somehow the world and I have grown
Just a little bit older

I sit alone
Where the fire glows
The fire glows
And the honey wind blows

I sit alone
And the good Lord, knows
I miss you so
When the honey wind blows

Four Strong Winds

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change come what may
But our good times are all gone
And Im bound for moving on
I look for you if Im ever back this way

Think Ill go out to Alberta
Weathers good there in the fall
Got some friends I can go to working for
Still I wish you change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But weve been thru that a hundred times or more

If I get there before the snow flies
And if things are going good
You could meet me if I send you down the fare
But by then it would be winter
Aint too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there

Gypsy Rover

The gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

She left her father's castle gate
She left her own true lover
She left her family and her estate
To follow her gypsy rover

Auh-de-doo ... of a lady

Her father saddled his fastest steed
And ranged the valley over
He sought his daughter at great speed
And her whistling gypsy rover

At last he came to a mansion fine
Down by the River Clady
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady.

Auh-de-doo ... of a lady

He is no gypsy my father she said
But Lord of these lands all over
And here I'll stay 'til my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover

Auh-de-doo ... of a lady [x2]

Goodnight Irene

When I asked your mother for you
She told me you were too young
Now I wish I had never even seen your face
Or heard your lying tongue

So Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown

Oh, stop your carousin', stop you gamblin'
Stayin out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Sit down by the fireside, bright

Irene goodnight ... dream

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Hi Lili Hi Lo

From the film "Lili" (1953)
Bronislaw Kaper, Helen Deutsch

On every tree there sits a bird, singing a song of love
On every tree there sits a bird, and ev'ryone I ever heard
Could break my heart without a word singing a song of love

A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

A tear for him, a tear for me, A tear for the love he swore
A tear for him and one for me, and one for under the cedar tree
And one for where ever my love my be, and then I shall weep no more

A song of love ... Hi-Lo

Scotch And Soda

Scotch and Soda
Mud in yer eye
Baby do I feel high, oh me, oh my
Do I feel high?

Dry martini
Jigger of gin
Oh, what a spell you've got me in, oh my
Do I feel high?

People won't believe me
They'll think that I'm just braggin'
That I can feel the way I feel
And still be on the wagon.

All I need is one of your smiles
Sunshine of your eye, oh me, oh my
Do I feel higher than a kite can fly
Give me lovin', baby I feel high.

People won't believe me
They'll think that I'm just braggin'
But I could feel the way I feel
And still be on the wagon.

All I need is one of your smiles
Sunshine of your eye, oh me, oh my
Do I feel higher than a kite can fly
Give me lovin', baby do I feel high?...

I Am A Roving Gambler

I am a roving gambler
I've gambled all around
And wherever I see a deck of cards
I lay my money down, lay my money down
I lay my money down

I've gambled down in Washington
Gambled up in Maine
I'm heading down to Tennessee
To knock down my last game,
knock down my last game
To knock down my last game

I had not been in Washington
Many more weeks and free
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And she fell in love with me,
fell in love with me
She fell in love with me

She took me to her parlour
She cooled me with her fan
She whispered in her mother's ear
I love that gambling man,
love that gambling man
I love that gambling man

She took me to her parlour
She cooled me with her fan
She whispered in her mother's ear
I love that gambling man,
love that gambling man
I love that gambling man

I wouldn't marry a railroad man
This is the reason why
I've never seen a railroad man
Wouldn't tell his wife a lie,
tell his wife a lie
Wouldn't tell his wife a lie

Oh mother, oh, dear mother
I'll tell you if I can
If you ever see me coming back
It'll be with the gambling man,
be with the gambling man
It'll be with the gambling man

I am a roving gambler
I've gambled all around
And wherever I see a deck of cards
I lay my money down, lay my money down
I lay my money down
And wherever I see a deck of cards
I lay my money down, lay my money down
I lay my money down

Tarrytown

(John Allison)

In Tarrytown, there did dwell
A lovely girl I knew her well
I courted her on bended knee
Until she said that she would marry me.

Wide and deep my grave will be
With the wild goose grasses growing over m
Wide and deep my grave will be
With the wild goose grasses growing over me.

We were young and love was grand
I gave her kisses on her hand
We walked along the little way
And talked of when would be our wedding day.

Wide and deep my grave will be
With the wild goose grasses growing over me.

And her house stands in Tarrytown
And now my love she dances 'round
She sits upon another's knee
For he has gold and silver more then me

If I Had A Hammer

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Well I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land

It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

I'm Leaving It Up To You

I'm leavin' it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now, do you want my love?
Or are we through?

That's why, I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now, do you want my love?
Or are we through?

You got my heart in your hands
I don't understand
What, have I done wrong?
I worship, the ground you walk on!

That's why ... we through? [x2]

Just For Old Times Sake

Rhonda Vincent & Jim Ed Brown

Oh darling, just for old times sake
Turn back the hands of time
Pretend that you're still mine
Just for old times sake

Although, I know you said goodbye to me
I can't help thinking how it used to be
I guess I'll always be in love with you
I can't forget the things we used to do

Oh darling ... times sake

<Play>

Well, I know that if once more we share a kiss
You'll realize that it's a thrill, you miss
That old time feeling deep within your heart
Would make you give our love a brand new start

Oh darling ... times sake

Pretend that you're still mine
Just for old time sake

This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me.

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand.

When morning breaks the heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below.

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand.

I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the water side
Casting nets at the surging tide

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand.

I hope the day will never come
That I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical.

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand.

Sad the time, I'll ever miss
The gay colored skirts as they turn and twist
Let me always hear soft guitars
And a maiden's voice 'neath a thousand stars.

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

Somewhere

From "Westside Story"
Leonard Bernstein / Stephen Sondheim

There's a time for us
Some day a time for us
Time together with time spare
Time to learn, time to care
Some day!

Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere

There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!

Det fanns en tid for lange sen
Da jag seglade pa Caribien
Det var den forsta resan ditut
Dar sol och sommar ej kan ta slut

De tusen oars land
Formade av en vanlig hand
Dar fanns du och jag langtar nu
Till att ater vandra pa samma strand

Det fanns en tid for lange sen
Da jag traffade den som blev min van
Hon var sa skon som nagon kan bli
Och djupt foralskade det var vi

De tusen oars land
Formade av en vanlig hand
Dar fanns du och jag langtar nu
Till att ater vandra pa samma strand

Det fanns en tid for lange sen
Da jag reste min vag fran dig igen
Men alla minnen haller mig kvar
Hos dig och lyckliga unga dar

De tusen oars land
Formade av en vanlig hand
Dar fanns du och jag langtar nu
Till att ater vandra pa samma strand

Det fanns en tid for lange sen
Du ska veta att jag har saknat den
Aren har gatt, nu reser jag dit,
Till on dar solen gor sanden vit

De tusen oars land
Formade av en vanlig hand
Dar fanns du och jag langtar nu
Till att ater vandra pa samma strand

Dutch version

O eiland in de zon, waar ik liep
Aan mijn vaders hand
Niets bindt mij met zo'n sterke band
Als jouw wouden, beken en palmenstrand.

Geef mij m'n eiland in de zon
Waar ik vroeger zo zorg'loos spelen kon
'k Zwerf soms duizend mijlen van huis
Maar voel m'alleen op m'n eiland thuis.

Ik hoor tam-tams; ze dreunen door 't woud
Waar een der stamman een dansfeest houdt
Ik zie vrouwen en hoor hun lied
Bij het snijden van het suikerriet

German version
(by Kurt Feltz)

Ich gruss' meine Insel im Sonnenlicht,
das sich silbern und hell im Morgen bricht
Ich gruss' der Heimat flimmernden Sand,
die braune Hutte am Meeresstrand

Wo meine Sonne scheint
und wo meine Sterne steh'n,
da kann man der Hoffnung Glanz
und der Freiheit Licht in der Ferne seh'n

Ich denk' an Last und Pein und Not,
an den Ruf der Trommel im Abendrot;
ich denk' an dich und dein Schattenbild,
das sich in goldene Traume hullt

Wo meine Sonne scheint
und wo meine Sterne steh'n,
da kann man der Hoffnung Glanz
und der Freiheit Licht in der Ferne seh'n

Ich seh' sie knie'n im hohen Rohr
Und hore von fern der Freiheit Chor.
Ich seh' die Hand, die zum Himmel weist
Und fuhle den Schmerz der Heimweh heisst

Wo meine Sonne scheint
und wo meine Sterne steh'n,
da kann man der Hoffnung Glanz
und der Freiheit Licht in der Ferne seh'n

Ich hoffe, dass bald die Stunde schlagt,
da mich ein Schiff zu der Insel tragt;
warten auch Last und Not und Pein,
dort will ich still und zufrieden sein

Wo meine Sonne scheint
und wo meine Sterne steh'n,
da kann man der Hoffnung Glanz
und der Freiheit Licht in der Ferne seh'n

Sweet Rosyanne

Sweet Rosyanne, my Rosyanne,
Bye-bye my Rosyanna!
I'll see you again,
But I don't know when
For I won't be home tomorrow
Bye-bye [x5] my Rosyanna! [x2]

Sweet Rosyanne, my darlin' child,
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
The ocean is a sailor's bride
No, I won't be home tomorrow
We'll cast our nets on the ocean blue
Bye-bye my Rosyanna!
With every cast, I'll think of you
No, I won't be home tomorrow
Bye-bye [x5] my Rosyanna! [x2]

I thought I heard the ocean say,
"Bye-bye my Rosyanna!"
Don't you want ta' go home on your next pay day?
No, I won't be home tomorrow
Bye-bye [x5] my Rosyanna! [x2]
Bye-bye my Rosyanna!

Jamaica Farewell

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reach Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare, my heart is there
Tho' I've been from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

<play>

Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bare
Ackey rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year

But, I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[x2]
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston

Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree

I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me, if you still want me
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
Bus driver, please look for me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison and my love, she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
And I wrote and told her please

John B Sails

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
'Round Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so brake up
I want to go home.

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home,
Well, I feel so brake up
I wanna go home.

Well, the first mate he got drunk
And broke in the people's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Won't you leave me alone,
Well, this thing I work with
Since I've been born

So hoist ... go home

<play>

Well, the poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
Then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Where is John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone
Well, I feel so brake up
I wanna go home

So hoist ... go home

Well, I feel so brake up
I wanna go home

Sundown

Gordon Lightfoot

I can see her lyin' back in her faded dress
In a room where ya do what ya don't confess
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown ya ... my back stairs

She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sometimes ... feelin' no pain

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
Sundown ya ... my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin again.

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
Sometimes ... feelin' no pain
Sundown ya ... my back stairs
Sundown ya better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

Killing Me Softly With His Song

I know I hurt you when I went away
Left you crying, I remember that day
I regret it, what I did to you
I know it's crazy, but, baby, it's true

Never meant for your heart to break
I can see that I made a mistake
I've been thinking how I can get back
Try to find a way
wishing for the day

Cause I didn't know
What else to do or go
I needed time to see, I needed time just for me
But now I wanna show
How much I love you so
Hoping I'm not too late for you to hear me say

Baby, I'm sorry. I really wanna make it up to you
There's nothing more that I wanna do
I hope that you still feel the same
Never meant to cause you pain

Baby, I'm sorry
I really miss the way we used to love
You're the only one that I dream of
Let me look into your eyes and apologise
'Cause baby, I'm sorry

Baby, I'm sorry
Ooh, baby, I'm sorry

I know how hard it is for you to trust
It ain't easy to believe me
I know I was being so selfish
How could I do this?

Now I'm back to try to repair
make sure this time I'm there
Give you what you need, I'm just hoping you'll forgive me

Cause I didn't know ... to hear me say
Baby, I'm sorry ... cause you pain
Baby, I'm sorry ... I'm sorry

Ooh Baby, I'm sorry

Rolling all the time

And a J. B. Stetson hat

When I was just a lad of ten
My father said to me;
Come here and learn a lesson
From the lovely lemon tree:

Don't put your faith in love, my boy
My father said to me,
I fear you'll find that love Is like
The lovely lemon tree

Lemon tree very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat

We passed the summer
Lost in love beneath the lemon tree,
The music of her laughter
Hid my fathers words from me

Beneath the lemon tree, one day
My love and I did lie,
A girl so sweet that when she smiled
The sun rose in the sky

Lemon tree very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat

One day she left without a word
She took away the sun
And in the dark she left behind
I knew what she had done

She left me for another,
It's a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now
I sing these words to you

Lemon tree very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat

Lemon tree... (9)

Little Play Soldiers

Two little soldiers, their games are such fun
each with his helmet and little toy gun
Pretending their lying on some battlefield
dead after their tucked away safe in their bed

Little play soldiers if only you knew
what kind of battles are waiting for you
Quiet, don’t disturb all that innocence of youth
Tell them not to lie but never tell them the truth

That men will fall down while little boys grow
but little play soldiers are too busy to know
Little white crosses and their rows are so long
How will it end if you don’t know it’s wrong?

Little play soldiers never know why,
you love them and kiss them and then send them to die
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun
each with his helmet and little toy gun

Soon they will lie on some battlefield dead
'stead of tucked away safe in their bed
All you little soldiers, if only you knew,
what kind of battles are waiting for you

Silver Threads And Golden Needles

1.
I don't want your lonely mansion,
With a tear in every room.
All I want's the love you promised
Beneath the haloed moon.
But you think I should be happy,
With you money and your name,
And hide myself in sorrow
While you play your cheating game.

2)
Silver threads and golden needles
Can not mend this heart of mine.
And I dare not drown my sorrow,
In the warm glow of your wine.
But you think I should be happy,
With you money and your name,
And hide myself in sorrow
While you play your cheating game

Marianne

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand

Marianne, Oh, Marianne
Oh, won't you marry me?
We can have a bamboo hut
With brandy in the tea
Leave your fat old mama home
She never will say yes
If your mama don't know now
She can guess (it's in the mail now!)

All day ... siftin' sand

When she walks along the shore
People pause to greet
White birds fly around her
Little fish come to her feet
In her heart is love
But I'm the only mortal man
Who's allowed to kiss
My Marianne (Everybody!)

All day ... siftin' sand

And when we marry, we will have
A time you never saw
I will be so happy
I will kiss my mother-in-law (Phooey!)
Children by the dozen
In and out the bamboo hut
One for every palm tree
And cocunut (Don't rush me!)

All day ... siftin' sand
Down by the seaside siftin' sand

The Nine Pound Hammer

My Tani

Farewell, my Tani, child of a coral sea
We dreamed of heaven, but you've forgotten me

I loved you dearly, why did we have to part?
Now I am lonely, here with a broken heart

Once on silver sands we held lonesome hands

That's why, my Tani, I cried "Come back to me"

Once on silver sands we held lonesome hands

That's why, my Tani, I cried "Come back to me"

Well, I wake up in the morning, hear the ding dong ring,
you go a marching to the table, you see the same old thing.
Baby all I wanna tell ya, I'm like a pork in the pan
And if you say a thing about it, you're in trouble with the man.

Let the midnight special shine a light on me.
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me.
Yes let the midnight special shine a light on me.
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me.

If you ever go to Houston then you better walk alright,
Yuo better not stagger and you better not fight.
'Cause sheriff Benson will arrest you, he'll carry you on down,
and if the jury finds you guilty you're penitentiary bound.

So the midnight special shine a light on me.
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me.

A yonder comes Miss Rosey, how I wonder did you know,
Well I know about her apron, and the dress she wore,
Umbrella on her shoulder piece of paper in her hand,
She goes a walkin' to the captain says I'm losin' my man.

So let the midnight special shine it's light on me.
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me.
Let the midnight special shine it's light on me.
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me.

Let the midnight special shine it's light on me...

I'm in love with Nancy O

As I walked into London City
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to find
I walked in, sat down beside her
Seven long years spent by her side

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy O
I've got silver in my pocket
I'm gonna follow wherever you go

The more I kissed her the more I loved her
The more I kissed her, the more she smiled
I forgot my mother's warningss
Nancy soon had me beguiled

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy O
I've got silver in my pocket
I'm gonna follow wherever you go

As I walked out to London City
With an heavy, heavy heart and achin' pain
So many men was hoardin' Nancy
I'll not leave that las again

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
I'm in love with Nancy O

Come all you ramblers, you roving gamblers
Come all you lads where e'er you be
Never lose your heart to Nancy
She'll ruin you as she ruined me

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy O
I've got silver in my pocket
I'm gonna follow wherever you go

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
I'm in love with Nancy O

Scarlet Ribbons

I peeked in to say good-night
When I heard my child in prayer
"And for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"

All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Not one ribbons for her hair

Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking

I peeked in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For a courting to slow

Yes courting's a pleasure
And parting is grief
And a false hearted lover
Is worse than a thief

She'll kiss you, she'll hug you
And tell you more lies
Than the cross ties on a railroad
Or the stars in the sky

Let me tell you 'bout my baby
She's like bad brandy wine
The first time I kissed her
She drove me out my mind

She's a Baltimore special
Got a fine brown frame
When you see her in motion
Evil woman is her name

Did I tell you 'bout the Eastman
Lord what a shame
He run off with my baby
And scandalized my name

Well I went up on a mountain top
To call my baby back
She was gone with that Eastman
Down that lonesome railroad track

If I ever see that Eastman
I'll shoot him with my gun
I'll cut him with my long Jones
And dare that pimp to run

Little Liza, little Liza
I couldn't sleep last night
Come on back home baby
Everything will be all right

Let me tell you, let me tell you
I don't care what you say
If my woman ever comes back
I'll give my life away

If you ever see a dark cloud
A-rollin' in the sky
It's my woman gone to heaven
With a tear drop in her eye

On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For a-courting to slow...

November Snow

November snow, stretching far away
On a California mornin', people talkin' low
Gathered all to see a baby bornin'
But the doctor shook his head
And left the rest unsaid
And the people knew someone would never be
Someone would never see
A California mornin'

And I can see him in the morning
With his face shining brightly through the redwood trees
And I can hear him in the morning
With his voice singing sweetly on the early breeze
And I know that we are brothers
Though there always will be others to calm my pain
And when I touch him in the morning
I believe that we are one with the seasons and the rain

What kind of man, I wonder would he be
Nobody answers, the pebbles and the sand
And the flowers growing free, like tiny dancers
And the doctor shook his head
And left the rest unsaid
And the people knew someone would never be
Someone would never see
A California mornin'

And I can see him ... and the rain

November snow, stretching far away
On a California mornin'

Pastures Of Plenty

It's a mighty hard row that my poor hands have hoed
My poor feet have traveled a hot dusty road
Out of your dust Bowl and Westward we rolled
Blue deserts so hot and your mountains so cold

I've wandered all over your green growing land
Where ever your crops are I've lent you my hands
On the edge of your cities, you'll see me and then
I come with the dust and I'm gone with the wind

California, Arizona, I'd worked on your crops
the North up to Washington to gather your hops
I got beets from your ground
I cut grapes from your vines
To sat on our table's and light sparkling wine

Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground
From the grand Coulee Dam where the water runs down
Every state of this Union us migrants have been
We come with the dust and we're gone,with the wind

We come with the dust and we're gone,with the wind

And we're gone.. with the wind

Puff The Magic Dragon

Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And froliced in the autumn mist
In a land called Honali

Little Jackie Paper
Lsoved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff. Oh

Puff ... Honali [x2]

Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail
And Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail

Noble kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
And pirate ships would lower their flags
When Puff roared out his name. Oh!

A dragon lives forever
But not so little boys
Painted wings and giant strings
Make way for other toys

One grey night it happened
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
He ceased his fearless roar

His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane

Without his life-long friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly
Slipped into his cave. Oh!

Puff ... Honali [x2]

Tender blossom born of spring
Sired by winter's gentle snow
Once again you bless my eyes
Would love thus return to me?

Would love thus return to me?...

Rock Island Line

There's room for me, there's room for you
Plenty of room for the Rock Island crew.

The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line is the road to ride
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
If you want to ride it, gotta stride it like you're flying
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line

Engine in front, Caboose in the back
Go so fast most leaves the tracks

Well now the Rock Island Line it is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line it is the road to ride
The Rock Island Line it is a mighty good road
And if you want to ride it gotta stride it like you're flying
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line

This train's gonna fly all night
Oh this train
This train's gonna fly all night
Oh this train

This train's gonna fly all night
Now whistle and smoke gonna fill the sky
Now this train's gonna fly all night
Now this train

Hear that train
Wow, wow, wow ...

Well now the Rock Island ... Rock Island Line
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line

Run Come See Jerusalem

It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine,
Run come see, I remember that day very well, run come see,
It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine
Run come see, Jerusalem

That day they were talkin'
'Bout a storm in the islands,
They were talkin' 'bout a storm in the islands
My God what a beautiful morning.

That day there were three ships a leavin' out the harbor [x2]
The Ethel, the Myrtle and the Pretoria

These ships were bound for a neighbouring island [x2]
With the mothers and children on board

Now the Pretoria was out on the ocean [x2]
Rocking from side to side
My God, when the first wave hit the Pretoria [x2]
The mothers come hauling to their children

My God, there were thirty-three souls on the water [x2]
Oh my God there were women praying to the good Lord

My God, now George Brown he was the captain
He shouted come my children come pray
He said, "Come now, witness your judgment day"

I got the blues from my baby
Left me by the San Francisco Bay,
The ocean liner's gone so far away.
Well, I didn't mean to treat her so bad,
She was the best girl I ever have had,
She said goodbye, She makes me cry,
I gone to lay down and die.

I ain't got a nickel and
I ain't got a lousy dime.
If she don't come back,
I'm going to lose my mind.
If she ever comes back to stay,
It's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby
By the San Francisco Bay

<play>

Well, I'm sittin' down
Looking through my back door,
Just a-wondering which way to go,
Woman I'm so crazy for,
Says she don't love me no more
Think I'll catch me a freight train,
Think about feeling blue,
I'm gone toride all the way
To the end of the line,
Thinking only of you

Well, Meanwhile, in another city,
Just about to go insane,
Seems like I heard my baby,
The way she used to call my name.
If she ever get her back to stay,
it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby
Down by the San Francisco Bay,
Walking with my baby
By the San Francisco Bay

Scaborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between salt water and the sea strands
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Have She wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where ne'er a drop of water e'er fell
And then he'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between salt water and the sea strands
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Seasons In The Sun

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other
Since you and I were ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and abc's
Skinned our hearts and
Skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds
Are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Wer'e just seasons out of time

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have are gone

Goodbye papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love
And helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground

Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climb
Were just seasons out of time

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the...

Sloth

A Bradypus, or Sloth, am I, I live a life of ease
Contented not to do or die, but idle as I please
I have three toes on either foot, or half a doz. on both
With leaves and fruits, and shoots to east, how sweet to be a Sloth

The world is such a cheerful place when viewed from upside-down
It makes a rise of every fall, a smile of every frown
I watch the fleeting flutter by of butterfly or moth
And think of all the things I'd try if I were not a Sloth.

I could climb the very highest Hymalayas, be among the greatest tennis players,
win at chess or marry a Princess or study hard and be an eminant professor.
I could be a millionaire, play the clarinet, travel everywhere,
Learn to cook, catch a crook, win a war then write a book about it.
I could paint a Mona Lisa, I could be another Caesar.
Compose an oratorio that was sublime.
The door's not shut on my genius but I just don't have the time.

For days and days among the trees I sleep and dream and doze
Just gently swaying in the breeze suspended by my toes
While eager beavers overhead rush through the undergrowth
I watch the clouds beneath my feet; How sweet to be a Sloth

Summer Days Alone

I'm walking down the track
Got the sun behind my back
Why do the hours pass so slo-o-ow?

What if I had my way
See my girl on Saturday
But I'm too many miles from my home
How I hate to spend these summer days alone

Well I carre out (?) to see my little darling
Though never never again
When they found me riding on the freight car
Well they put me off of that train

At the first of every day
I start out another way
With not a soul to care how far I roam
Well it's always the same
No money knows my name
And I haven't got a place to call my own
How I hate to spend these summer days alone

Well I wanna go back to my loved one
I wanna go home to stay
How I miss her in the morning and the evening
Oh I miss her on the late of the long day (?)

So I'm walking down the track
Got the sun behind my back
Why do the hours pass so slo-o-ow?
What if I had my way
See my girl on Saturday
But I'm too many miles from my home
How I hate to spend these summer days alone
Tell me why did I decide to leave my home

Tavern song

Traditional 19th century folk song

There is a tavern in the town in the town
And there my true love sits him down sits him down
And drinks his wine as merry as can be
And never never thinks of me

Fare thee well for I must leave thee
Do not let this parting grieve thee
And remember that the best of friends
Must part must part

Adieu adieu kind friends yes adieu
I can no longer stay with you stay with you
I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee

He left me for a damsel dark damsel dark
Each Friday night they used to spark used to spark
And now my love who once was true to me
Takes this dark damsel on his knee

Fare thee well for ... must part
Adieu adieu ... go well with thee

And now I see him nevermore nevermore
He never knocks upon my door on my door
Oh woe is me he pinned a little note
And these were all the words he wrote

Fare thee well for ... must part
Adieu adieu ... go well with thee

Oh dig my grave both wide and deep wide and deep
Put tombstones at my head and feet head and feet
And on my breast you may carve a turtle dove
To signify I died of love

Fare thee well for ... must part
Adieu adieu ... go well with thee
I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee

Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport

Rolf Harris

- There's an old Australian stockman lying, dying.
He gets himself up onto one elbow
and 'e turns to his mates,
who are all gathered around and 'e says:

Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed,
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
[x2]

Keep me cockatoo cool, Carl,
Keep me cockatoo cool
Ah, don't go acting the fool, Carl
Just keep me cockatoo cool
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo ... down

'n' take me koala back, Jack
Take me koala back
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac
So take me koala back
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo ... down

Let me abos go loose, Lew
Let me abos go loose
They're of no further use, Lew
So let me abos go loose
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo ... down

And mind me platypus duck, Bill
Mind me platypus duck
Ah, don't let 'im go running amok, Bill
Just mind me platypus duck
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo ... down

PLay your didgeridoo, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Ah, like, keep playin' 'til I shoot thru, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo ... down

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And that's it hangin' on the shed!!
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo ... down

There's A Place For Us

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere

There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,
Time to look, time to care,
Someday!
Somewhere

We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Someday,
Somewhere!

There's a place for us,
Somewhere!..

Tom Dooley

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Poor boy, you're bound to die!

I met her on the mountain,
and there I took her life.
I met her on the mountain,
and stabbed her with my knife

Hang down ... to die!

This time tomorrow,
Reckon where I'll be,
Hadn't been for Grayson,
I'd been in Tennessee

Hang down ... to die!

This time tomorrow,
Reckon where I'll be,
Down in some lonesome valley,
hangin' from a white oak tree

Hang down ... to die!
Poor boy, you're bound to die!

Tomorrow Is A Long Time

If today was not an endless highway
I today was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.

I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or can't remember the sound of my own name.

Yes and only if my own true love was waitin
Yes and if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Yes only if she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

There's beauty in the silver singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes.

If today was not an endless highway
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time

Try To Remember

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember the time of September
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow.

Deep in December It's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December It's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
And follow, follow, follow

Turn Around

Where are you going my little one, little one
Where are you going my baby my own
Turn around and you're two
Turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young girl
Going out of the door

Turn around [x3] and you're a young girl
Going out of the door

Where are you going my little one, little one
Little drendils and petticoats, where are you now
Turn around and you're tiny
Turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own

Turn around [x3] and you're a young wife
With babes of your own

Where are you going my little one, little one
Where are you going my baby my own

Viva la compagnie

Let every good fellow now fill up his glass
Vive la Compagnie
We'll drink to each other while memories pass
Vive la Compagnie

Vive la, vive la, vive l'amour [x2]
Vive l'amour [x2]
Vive la compagnie
[x2]

We're all together for only a while
Vive la Compagnie
Sharing a laugh a book and a smile
Vive la Compagnie

Vive la ...

It's time to leave and to say goodbye
Vive la Compagnie
You'll find a tear in every eye
Vive la Compagnie

Vive la ...

Well, Well, Well

Well, well, well, who's that callin'?
Well, well, well, hold my hand!
Well, well, well, night is fallin',
Spirit is a'movin' all over this land
[x2]

God told Noah, "Build you an ark!"
Rain started fallin' and the skies got dark.
Ol' dark a'movin', water start to climb.
The Lord said "A fire, not a flood next time!"

Well, well, well ... over this land

World's not waitin' for the Lord's command!
Build Him a fire that'll sweep the land.
Brothers and sisters, don't you know?
You're gonna reap just what you sow!

Oo-oo-oo! Who's that callin'?
Oo-oo! Hold my hand!
Oo-oo-oo! Night is fallin',
Spirit is a movin' all over this land
Well, well, well, well, well!

What Child Is This /
Christmas Greensleeves

What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels great with anthem sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is Christ the son
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Joy Joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold, and myhr
Come peasant king to own Him
The King of Kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullabye
Joy Joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary

What Now My Love

What now my love, now that you left me
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turn to ashes
And my hopes turn to bits of clay

Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am numb, I've become unreal
I walk the night, without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul

What now my love, now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars, tumbling around me
There's the sky, where the sea should be

What now my love, now that you're gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live or die

What now my love, now there is nothing
Only my last, good-bye

With You Fair Maid

In Amsterdam there lived a maid,
Mark well what I do say,
In Amsterdam there lived a maid
And she was mistress of her trade

I'll go no more a'ro-ovin' with you, fair maid
A'rovin', a'rovin', since rovin's been my ru-I-in
I'll go no more a'ro-ovin' with you, fair maid

Her eyes are like two stars, so bright,
Mark well what I do say,
Her eyes are like two stars, so bright,
Her face is fair, her step is light
I'll go no more ... fair maid

Her cheeks are like the rosebuds, red,
Mark well what I do say,
Her cheeks are like the rosebuds, red,
There's a wealth of hair upon her head
I'll go no more ... fair maid

I took this maiden for a walk,
Mark well what I do say,
I took this maiden for a walk,
And sweet and loving was our talk.
I'll go no more ... fair maid

A'rovin', a'rovin', since rovin's been my ru-I-in
I'll go no more a'ro-ovin' with you, fair maid!

Yellow Bird

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me

Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky than me

I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today
They're all the same those pretty girls
Take tenderness, then they fly away
Yellow bird, yellow bird

Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky than me

Wish that I were a yellow bird, I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird, so here I sit
Nothing I can do
Yellow bird, yellow bird

Zulu Warrior

Wolverton Mountain

They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain,
If you're lookin' for a wife.
'Cause Clifton Clowers has a fair, young daughter;
He's mighty handy with a gun and knife

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey,
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there;
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers,
If a stranger should enter there

All o' my dreams are on Wolverton Mounrain;
I want his daughter for my wife.
I'll take my chances and climb the Mountain,
Though Clifton Clowers might take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey,
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there;
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers,
If a stranger should enter there

I'm goin' up on Wolverton Mountain,
It's so lonesome down here below;
It's just not right to hide his daughter,
From the one who loves her so

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey,
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there;
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers,
If a stranger should enter there

I don't care about Clifton Clowers;
I'm goin' to climb up on his mountain;
I'm goin' to take the one I love

I don't care about Clifton Clowers.
I'm goin' to climb up on his mountain

I don't care about... (repeating, fading away)

Yesterday Once More

When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along, it made me smile
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's, so fine
