500 Miles
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
Lord I'm 500 miles from my home
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord I'm 500 miles away from my home
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go a-home this a-way
This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way
Lord I can't go a-home this a-way
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Slow down you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kickin’ down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy
Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy
Hello lamp-post
What-cha knowin'
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't-cha got no rhymes for me
Doot-in' doo-doo
Feelin' groovy
Got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all it's petals on me
Life, I love you
All is groovy
Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.
(Neat)
(Sweet)
(Petite)
So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family.
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun
She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
Wasn’t much to look at, just a free ramblin’ man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam
CHORUS
There’s flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin’
But I ain’t done nothin’ since I woke up today
I’m the kind of person goes to work in the morning
Come home in the evenin’ and have nothin’ to say
I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet ‘em I could get ‘em
But as yet I haven’t met ‘em
That’s how I’m in the state I’m in
CHORUS
Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein’ my deliv’rance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein
CHORUS
It’s hard on a fella
When he don’t know his way around
If I don’t find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I’m gonna have to blow this town
CHORUS (X2)
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a blowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear rivers overflowin'
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
CHORUS
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
CHORUS x2
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine
Como si fuera-esta noche la ultima vez
Bé - - - -same, mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine
Que tengo miedo……………perderte, perderte despues
This joy is something new, my arms enfolding you
Quiero tenerte muy cerca, mirarme-en tus
Never knew this thrill before
Ojos, verte junto-a mí
Who ever thought I’d be holding you close to me
Piensa que tal vez mañana yo ya-estaré
Whispering “It’s you I adore.”
Lejos, muy lejos de ti
Dearest one, if you should leave me
Bésame, bésame mucho
Each little dream would take wing and my life would be through
Como si fuera-esta noche la ultima vez
Bé - - - -same, mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true
Que tengo miedo……………perderte, perderte despues
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there, watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye, bye sailing...
Big girls don't cry-yi-yi (they don't cry)

That you don't know what you've got ‘til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
They took all the trees and put ‘em in a tree museum
Then they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em
CHORUS
Hey farmer, farmer, put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please!
CHORUS
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi come and took away my old man
CHORUS X2
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly

You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers, in the quiet of a railway station,
Running scared, laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie la lie, lie la lie lie lie la lie………
Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job
But I get no offers just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
CHORUS
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me, going home
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries a reminder of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving but the fighter still remains
CHORUS x 2
Oh, oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself
CHORUS
I'll give you jewelry and money, too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'll do for you
CHORUS
You know I'll always be your slave
'Til I'm buried, buried in my grave
CHORUS
I tried to treat you right
But you stayed out, stayed out late at night
But I forgive you, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)...
Stopped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold, he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming on such a winter’s day
All the leaves a brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winter’s day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
California dreaming on such a winter’s day
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round in the circle game
Then, the child moved ten times 'round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, "When you're older", must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
CHORUS
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him, "Take your time. It won't be long now.
'Til your drag your feet to slow the circles down"
CHORUS
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through.
CHORUS
TAG
Good morning America how are you?
Don't you know me I'm your native son,
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car
Pennya point ain't no one keepin' score
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor.
And the sons of Pullman porters
And the sons of engineers
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep,
Are rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
CHORUS
Nighttime on The City of New Orleans,
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home and we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rolling down to the sea
And all the towns and people seem
To fade into a bad dream
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his song again
The passengers will please refrain
This train's got the disappearing railroad blues.
CHORUS Good night, America, how are you………
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
CHORUS
That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Ahh…. close to you
Ahh…. close to you
Ahh…. close to you
Ahh…. close to you
Oh when those cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick you very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
It may sound a little funny
But you didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields back home
It may sound a little funny
But you didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields back home
CHORUS
I was over in Arkansas
People ask me what you come here for
In them old cotton fields back home
I was over in Arkansas
People ask me what you come here for
In them old cotton fields back home

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warm and sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
And everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name
Now I'm through with the game, this boy will never be the same.

Drink it up, love her and she'll bring you luck

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for takin' a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new mowed lawn
I've been havin' a sweet dream
I been dreamin' since I woke up today
It's starrin' me and my sweet dream
'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way
And even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for droppin' my load
A pie in the face for bein' a sleepy bull toad
Whistle
And you can be sure that if you're feelin' right
A daydream will last along into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may pick up your ears
Or you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years
What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for takin' a walk outside

And fall on my face on sonebody's new mowed lawn
Each night before you go to bed, my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby, (yeah)
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love

I could be satisfied knowing you love me
(But there's one thing I want you to do especially for me)
And it's something that everybody needs
While I'm far away from you, my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby, (yeah)

She'll beat you if she's able,
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' any younger,
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences and open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you..... before it's too late

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown
Things will be great when you’re downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everything’s waiting for you, (downtown, downtown)
Don’t hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows (downtown)
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close (downtown)
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You’ll be dancing with ‘em, too, before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
You’re gonna be alright now (downtown, downtown)
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I’ll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

Sweet dreams ‘till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Counting flowers on the wall that don’t bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do
Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it’s hard to slow this swinger down
So please don’t give a thought to me I’m really doing fine
You can always find me here I’m having quite a time

It’s good to see you I must go I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.
I bet there's rich folks eatin',
In a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
And smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin',
I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me.
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move out over a little,
Farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison,
That's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my blues away.
I think it's time we stop, children
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"
CHORUS
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down (x4)
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away

Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks, looks and drives like an ace now

She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now

A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
CHORUS
Well baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
CHORUS
Maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
CHORUS
If I should call you up invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together
I can’t see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together

Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye

It's like a heat-wave, burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying: It's tearing me a-part
Whenever he calls my name; soft, low, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, I feel that burnin' flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me, or is this the way love's supposed to be
CHORUS
Ooohh heat wave...(x2)
Sometimes I star in space; tears all over my face

Well, Rhonda you caught my eye (caught my eye)
And I can give you lotsa reasons why
You gotta help me Rhonda
Help me get her out of my heart
CHORUS
Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window and wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
He worries did he hear a good-bye
Or even hello
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are four for each other
Stand by the stairway
You'll see something certain to tell you
Confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying, it's loose in a lady
Who lingers, saying she is lost
And choking on hello
CHORUS
Little darling, it's been a long, cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

CHORUS [x2] Tag last line
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with the wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there
I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I will be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
I think I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
(ooh...) Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies……..
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day (X4)
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be

And we're gonna rock away all of our blues

The last time I was down they lost my shoes
They had some cat a-shoutin' the blues
The people was yellin' and shoutin' for more
And all they kept sayin' was "go man, go"
CHORUS x2
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
Cause you've started something, oh, can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true, I only want to be with you
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true…I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me, and asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms… and I didn't stand a chance…now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
‘Cause you've started something…oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you

I wanna hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your haaa-haand
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart.
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know, I will
I will.
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
CHORUS
Just a few more weary days and then,
I’ll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I’ll fly away
And now the time has come
And, so my love, I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you will know, oh
One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun
And now the time has come
And, so my love, I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you will know, oh
One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone ya
CHORUS
Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a givin' thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in tryin'
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain
CHORUS
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
Imagine there's no countries, it isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for, no religion, too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you hoo, oo...
You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us and the world will live as one.
Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you hoo, oo...
CHORUS
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Solo
Repeat Last Verse
In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room
Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday
Now it’s dark and I’m alone
But I won’t be afraid
In my room
In my room
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 (x2)
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
CHORUS
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

Sloop John B
We come on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night; got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail; see how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home, I want to go home, yeah, yeah
Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home
The first mate he got drunk and broke in the Captain 's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone, yeah, yeah
Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home
CHORUS
The poor cook he caught the fits and threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home, why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

Johnny Angel, how I love him, he's got something that I can't resist
But he doesn't even know that I - I - I exist
Johnny Angel, how I want him, how I tingle when he passes by
Every time he says "helo" my heart begins to fly
I'm in heaven, I get carried away, I drem of him and me and how it's gonna be
Other fellas call me up for a date, but I just sit and wait, I'd rather concentrate on...
Johnny Angel, 'cause I love him, and I pray that someday he'll love me
And together we will see how lovely heaven will be

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
If I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the wars
Make sweet love to you
CHORUS
You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
A straight-shootin' son of a gun
I said a straight shootin' son of a gun

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out suits and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around.
CHORUS
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore and
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creep in like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
Bop, ba, ba, bop, ba, ba, ba, ba…..See how they run
Lady Madonna, lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night you stockings needed mending
See how they run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know, oh no
Well, I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
Feelin' like I do today
It's too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow
CHORUS
Well I told you once and I told you twice
Someone will have to pay the price
Here's a chance to change your mind
'Cuz I'll be gone a long, long time
CHORUS
Please swallow your pride if I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs that you won't let show
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry
I'm right up the road I'll share your load if you just call me
Call me, (if you need a friend), call me
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.
CHORUS
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, and I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say,
CHORUS
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
CHORUS
There will be an answer, let it be
CHORUS
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
CHORUS
There will be an answer, let it be
CHORUS
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Repeate Verse 1
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do, I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's when you found me, when you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time
CHORUS
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you, and how you needed me too
That hasn't happened in the longest time
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right and I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I’ve gone this far
And it's more than I'd hoped for
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself, hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
It's wonderful so far
And you're more than I'd hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad, I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
CHORUS
I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is…
Love Potion Number Nine"
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of…
Love Potion Number Nine
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of….
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along
You're gonna be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough goin'
Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do, but you've gotta
CHORUS
So if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be goin'
I will understand, you’ve gotta
CHORUS X2
I went walking the other day
Everything was going fine
I met a little boy named Billy Joe
And then I almost lost my mind
CHORUS
My eyes are wide open, but all that I can see is
Chapel bells are callin' for everyone but me
But I don't worry 'cause…
CHORUS
And then she said someone will look at me
Like I'm looking at you, one day then I might find
I don't want it any old way, so I don't worry 'cause
CHORUS
Mama said, mama said
Hey, don't you worry
Mama said, mama said
Hey, don't you worry now
Mama said, mama said
Hey, hey
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault
Don't know the reason, stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think–hell, it could be my fault
I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top,
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's my own damn fault
Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it’s my own damn fault.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free
And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lo-ord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
CHORUS
La da da, la da daa, la da daa da daa da daa…………
It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law.
The mama look down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
The papa said, "Oy, if I get that boy,
I'm gonna stick him the house of detention."
Well I'm on my way.
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the Queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the school yard
See you, me and Julio down by the school yard
In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
CHORUS
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
And here's to you Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know, who who woh
Good bless you please Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey, hey, hey
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
CHORUS
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret just the Robinson's affair
Most of all you've got to hide it from the kids
CHORUS
Sitting on a sofa on Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it shout about it when you've got to choose
Any way you look at it you lose
Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you, woo, woo, woo
What's that you say Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
[Repeat all verses]
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
I've even got the month of May with my girl
Nothing you can do could make me untrue to my guy
Nothing you could buy could make me tell a lie to my guy
I gave my guy my word of honor
To be faithful and I'm gonna
You best be believing
I won't be deceiving my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
No muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
(Tell me more)
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy

And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin' on the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go
CHORUS
I get this feelin' I may know you
As a lover and a friend
This voice keeps whispering in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
CHORUS
You been sold a bill of goods when the devil come to call
You been told you got no right to hang ‘round here at all
He’ll whisper stories in your ear but the devil is a liar
Raise your voice, come join in the People’s Choir
Raise your voice, come join in the People’s Choir
Make a joyful noise in the People’s Choir
Sweet harmony will set us free and leave our hearts inspired
Raise your voice, come join in the People’s Choir
Every living creature, every child, woman and man
Was born to tell their story in whatever way they can
So sing it loud and sing it proud and set this world on fire
Raise your voice, come join in the People’s Choir
CHORUS
Let’s go down to the water and gather on the riverbank
Raise our voices to the sky in a simple song of thanks
Sing it long and sing it strong and send it through the wire
Raise your voice, come join in the People’s Choir
Raise your voice, come join in the People’s Choir
Make a joyful noise in the People’s Choir
Sweet harmony will set us free and leave our hearts inspired
Raise your voice, come join in the People’s ……
Make a joyful noise in the People’s…..
Raise your voice, come join in the People’s Choir
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy comes a-creeping around
She's pretty as a daisy, but look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in, if you let her get under your skin
CHORUS
Your gonna need an ocean, of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound, the minute you start to mess around

Last Verse
CHORUS
La la la la X 3
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name, oh
CHORUS
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys
One gray 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
CHORUS
It’s the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taken who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dyin’ that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love in the spring becomes the rose
I got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
I long to hear that: "all aboard!"
Seven, that's the time we leave - at seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track - that takes me back
I never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July
Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon, for me and my gal
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will
You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When you're all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Always getting the grease
CHORUS
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
CHORUS
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
CHORUS
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get you
Then the left one will
CHORUS
Hit the road, Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack and don't you come back no more
Hit the road, Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road, Jack and don't you come back no more
Woah woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go (That's right)
CHORUS
Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood
You ain't got no money you just ain't no good)
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)
CHORUS
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe in how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me,
CHORUS
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me,
CHORUS
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a fella looks at you it's for sure your little eye will be a winkin'
I get confused cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile… and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin'
I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost you been a hauntin' my dreams
So I’ll propose… on Halloween
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
CHORUS
Repeat 1st verse
CHORUS x2
Baby, baby, I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I've been good to you
(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've known of your secluded nights
I've even seen her maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you
CHORUS
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'll stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever
CHORUS
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
We will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh x 2
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
CHORUS
I hear her voice
In the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
CHORUS x 2
Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick’s the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you
And you, of tender years
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by
And so please help them with your youth
They seek the truth before they can die
Counter Melody To Above Verse:
Can you hear and do you care and
Can’t you see we must be free to
Teach your children what you believe in
Make a world that we can live in
Teach your parents well
Their children's hell will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you
These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you
Yeah, you keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
And you keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'
Now, what's right is right but you ain't been right yet
CHORUS
You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin'
And you keep thinkin' that you'll never get burnt
Ah, I've just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah
And what he knows you ain't had time to learn
CHORUS
Are you ready, boots?
Start walking
Away out here they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe,
And they call the wind Maria
Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a’flyin’
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there dying
CHORUS
Before I knew Maria’s name
And heard her wail and whinin’
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shinin’
But then one day I left my girl
I left her far behind me
And now I’m lost, so gol dern lost
Not even God can find me
CHORUS
Out here they got a name for rain
For wind and fire only
But when you’re lost and all alone
There ain’t no word but lonely
And I’m a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Maria blow my love to me
I need my girl beside me
CHORUS
Maria
Maria…..blow my love to me
Someday when I'm lonely
Wishing you weren't so far away
Then I will remember
Things we said today
You say you'll be mine, girl
'Til the end of time
These days such a kind girl
Seems so hard to find
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough
To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
CHORUS
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough
To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
CHORUS
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
CHORUS
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
CHORUS
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
CHORUS
As I was walkin', I saw a sign there
And that sign said no tresspassin'
But on the other side it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
CHORUS
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
CHORUS
She's got a ticket to ride, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care
She said that living with me is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free when I was around
CHORUS
I don't know why she's ridin' so high
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me
CHORUS
Bridge
She said that living with me is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free when I was around
CHORUS
My baby don't care My baby don't care My baby don't care
Sometimes you picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me; I can't hear what you've said
Then you say go slow; I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside; the drum beats out of time
CHORUS
You said go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
CHORUS
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time of war, a time of peace
A time of love, a time of hate
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, I swear it's not too late!
Unchain my heart, baby let me go
Unchain my heart, 'cause you don't love me no more
Ev'ry time I call you on the phone
Some fella tells me that you're not at home so
Unchain my heart, oh please, please set me free
I'm under your spell like a man in a trance
But I know darn well that I don't stand a chance so
Unchain my heart, let me go my way
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day
Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don't care a bag of beans for me
So unchain my heart, oh please, please set me free
I'm under your spell like a man in a trance
But I know darn well that I don't stand a chance so
Unchain my heart, let me go my way
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day
Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don't care a bag of beans for me
So unchain my heart, please, please set me free
(Under the boardwalk) - out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) - we’ll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) - we’ll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk) - boardwalk!
From the park you’ll hear the happy sounds of a carousel
You can almost taste the hotdogs and french fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be
CHORUS
Ground, she movin' under me
Tidal waves out on the sea.
Sulphur smoke up in the sky
Pretty soon we learn to fly

My girl quickly say to me
"Mon, you better watch your feet"
Lava come down soft and hot
"You better lava me now or lava me not”

CHORUS
No time to count what I'm worth
‘Cause I just left the planet Earth
Where I go I hope there's rum
Not to worry monsoon come
CHORUS
But I don't want to land in New York City
I don't want to land in Mexico (no, no, no!)
I don't want to land on no Three Mile Island
I don't want to see my skin a--glow (no, no, no!)
Don't want to land in Comanche Sky Park
Or in Nashville, Tennessee (no, no, no!)
I don't want to land in no San Juan airport
Or the Yukon Territory (no, no, no!)
Don't want to land no San Diego
Don't want to land in no Buzzards Bay (no, no, no!)
I don't want to land on no Ayatolla
I got nothin' more to say
CHORUS
Rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a southbound train
Hey momma rock me
Running from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down
Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town
But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more
CHORUS
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long talk
But he's a-heading west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
CHORUS x 2
Whatta we gonna tell your mama, whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say “ooh-la-la”
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie, well
I told your mama that you’d be in by ten
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie, we gotta go home
Wake up, little Susie, wake up. Wake up, little Susie, wake up
The movie wasn’t so hot, it didn’t have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie . Wake up little Susie, well
CHORUS
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm-a gonna cry
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye
There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy, I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
CHORUS
I'm through with romance, I'm through with love
I'm through with countin' the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My lovin' baby is through with me
CHORUS Tag last line x 3
Oh love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
There is a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
CHORUS
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand, some day
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace, some day
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
We are not afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid, TODAY
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
We shall all be free
We shall all be free
We shall all be free, some day
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free

I picked up my bag and I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let’s go downtown"
She said, "Well, I gotta go but my friend can stick around"
CHORUS
Go down, Miss Moses, there’s nothin' you can say
It’s just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
CHORUS
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?"
CHORUS
Catch the Cannonball, now, to take me down the line
My, my bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
CHORUS
Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last 'till the end of time
CHORUS
Lord, we don't need anothere meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know...oh, oh, oh
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some oh, but just...for...ev-...ry...one

He always breaks my heart in two, it happens every time

So if you're lookin' to find love you can share
All you gotta do is…
Hold him and kiss him and love him and
Show him that you care
[#2: You gotta] Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'
Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're lookin' to find love you can share
All you gotta do is…
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his
[repeat bridge]
So if you’re thinkin’ how great true love is
All you gotta do is…

Just finish cleanin' up your room
Let's see that dust fly with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night

And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin' that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak! (don't talk back)

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip; he knows what cooks

Yakety yak, yakety yak …. (and fade)
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come

Down in the easy chair!

How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere

Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates some substitutes
Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere

I got troubles, whoa-oh, I got worries, whoa-oh
I came home again
When I woke up this morning
You were on my mi–i–i–ind and
You were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh, I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind
And I got a feelin'
Down in my sho-oo-oo-oes, said
Way down in my sho-oo-oes
Yeah, I got to ramble, whoa-oh
I got to move on, whoa-oh
I got to walk away my blues
When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind, and
You were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me
You won't see me
I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through, my hands are tied
I won't want to stay, I don't have much to say
But I can't turn away
And you won't see me
You won't see me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few, they're filled with tears
And since I lost you, it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long, girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me
You won't see me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few, they're filled with tears
And since I lost you, it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long, girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me
You won't see me
You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend
If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
CHORUS
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.
CHORUS
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
You've got a friend
First Noel, The
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells…..
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still goodbye-ing,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Repeat
Tag last line
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of street lights,
Even stop lights,
Blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch,
See the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you'll hear:
Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
