WELCOME SONG

On The Banks of The Winding Sawkill

On the banks of the winding Sawkill,

near the sound of the rushing falls

There's always a home,

where'er you may roam, no matter what life brings at all.

Though your fate take you south to the hot desert sand,

or drive you up north to the far frozen land.

On the bank of the murmuring Sawkill blue,

there's always a welcome for you.

Clinton Welcome Song

Pine trees are swaying

Night winds are blowing

Softly they sing a song

To welcome you and yours to our camp

'Cause this is where you belong

Leaves all your cares and worries behind you

Tomorrow may never come

Greet everybody, all the world's children

Welcome to Rising Sun

No matter who or where you may come from

That doesn't bother me

'Cause here in our camp

We have no problems

with hospitality

Don't try to change for us

Or rearrange for us

We love simplicity

This camp is my camp

This camp is your camp

Welcome to Rising Sun

The White Dawn

The white dawn is stealing across the dark cedar trees

The young corn is waving its blades in the morning breeze

The birds chant so lonely, the trees softly moan above

The heart of me sighs, the heart of me sighs for love.

My signal I flash where the stream's silver waters lie

My love-call I send on the winds that are floating by

Then come!, Oh thy coming shall be as the dawn to me

The heart of me sighs, the heart of me cries for thee.

Each Campfire Lights Anew

Each campfire lights anew,

The flames of friendship true.

The joy I have in knowing you,

Will last the long years through.

The joy I have in knowing you,

Will last the long years through.

Rise Up, O Flame

Rise up, O flame, By thy light glowing

Show to us beauty, vision and joy (repeated)

From that rib he shaped a bride.. "Take one, The Lord won't mind !"..

Told them what they might eat there.. Adam was sore 'cause he didn't get more

5. Along came the serpent 6-foot-3.. 10. Lord He rose up in His wrath..

Wrapped himself around that tree.. Chased them down the garden path..

In their faces he slammed the gate..

Three Little Fishies

1. Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool

Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too

Swim said the mama fishie, Swim if you can

And they all swam and they swam all over the dam.

Chorus

Boop boop dittem dattemwhattem Chu !

And dey fam and dey fam all over de dam

2. "Stop" said the mama fishie, - Or you will get lost"

The little fishies didn't wanna be bossed.

The three little fishies went off on a spree.

And they swam and they swam right out to the sea.

3. "Whee!" yelled the little fishies,"here a lot of fun,

We'll swim in the sea till the day is done."

They swam and they swam and it was a lark,

Till all of a sudden they met a SHARK!

4. "Help!" cried the little fishies, "Gee! look at all the whales!"

And quick as they could they turned on their tails.

And back to the pool in the meadow they swam,

And they swam and swam back over the dam,

One Tin Soldier

1. Listen children to a story, 3. Now the valley cried with anger

that was written long ago "Mount your horses! Draw your swords!"

about a kingdom on a mountain, and they killed the mountain people,

and the valley folk below. so they won their just reward.

On the mountain was a treasure, Now they stood beside the treasure,

buried deep beneath a stone, on the mountain dark and red,

and all the valley people swore, turned the stone and looked beneath it

they'd have it for their very own. "Peace on earth" was all it said.

Chorus

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,

go ahead and cheat a friend.

Do it in the name of heaven

You can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing

come the judgement day

but on the bloody morning after, one tin soldier rides away.

2. So the people of the valley,

sent a message up the hill,

asking for the buried treasure,

tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom

"With our fellows we will share

all the secrets of our mountain

all the riches buried there.

Take Me Home Country Roads

1. Almost Heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze.

Chorus

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, Mountain Momma

Take me home, country roads.

2. All my memories, gather round her

Miner's lady stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes

(bridge)

I hear her voice, in the morning hours she calls me

The radio reminds me of my home far away

Driving down the road, I get that feeling

that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Vive L'Amour

1. Let every good fellow now join in the song

Vive la compagnie.

Success to each other and pass it along,

2. A friend on the left and a friend on the right

Vive la compagnie.

In love and good fellowship let us unite

Vive la compagnie.

Vive la compagnie.

We sing to our comrades fro far away lands

Vive la compagnie.

Sloop John B.

1. We sailed on the sloop John B., my grandfather and me

'Round Nassau town we did roam

Drinking all night, got into a fight

I feel so broke up, I wanna go home.

Chorus

So hoist up the John B.'s sails, see how the main sail sets

Send for the captain ashore, I wanna go home

O let me go home, please let me go home.

I feel so broke up, I wanna go home !

Constable had to come and take him away

Then he went and ate up all of my corn

O Tempora, O Mores

1. There went a Fiddler marching, a-marching down the Nile,

O Tempora, O Tempora, O mores

There crept from out the water a monstrous crocodile,

O Tempora, O Tempora, O mores

And as it fain would swallow him such teeth you never saw

Fa-la la-la-la-la, O Tempo, Tempora:

To the we praise for endless days, Dame Musica

2. Then up the Fiddler took at once his cunning bow with care,..

And from his ancient fiddle drew such tones of music rare...

Allegre, dolce, presto, such tunes you never saw!

3. And when the fiddle sounded, beneath his skillful hands,..

The crocodile began to dance upon the desert sands,...

Quadrilles, gavottes and waltzes such steps you never saw!

4. And now the song is is ended, the moral near to seek,...

It is not well to spend your time alone in learning Greek,...

But learn to play the fiddle, such sport you never saw,...

5. The song it really did not end: There is another verse!

And you can't play the violin then things will just get worse

But take a long a boombox, the croc' will stand in awe!...

Waltzing Matilda

1. Once a jolly swagman camped beside a billabong

under the shade of a Coolibah tree.

And he sang as as sat and he waited till his billy boiled

Who'll come a' Waltzing Matilda with me?

Chorus

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

And he sang as he sat and he waited till his billy boiled (third line of verse)

You'll come a' Waltzing Matilda with me.

2. Down came a Jumbuck to drink beside the billabong

Uup jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee

And he stowed that jolly jumbuck in his tucker bag, sang

You'll come a' Waltzing Matilda with me.

3. Up rode the Rancher, riding on his thoroughbred

Down came the Rangers, 1,2,3

"Whose is the jumbuck that you've got in your tucker bag?

You'll come a' Waltzing Matilda with me!

4. Up jumped the Swagman, and plunged into the billabong

"You'll never catch me alive!" cried he

And his voice still is heard as you pass beside the billabong:

Who'll come a' Waltzing Matilda with me?

Boomdeada

1. I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills,

I love the pine trees, I love the people here

I love the Rising Sun, this is the place to be !

Chorus

Boomdeada, boomdeada, boomdeada, boomdeada

(doom, ba doom, ba doom, ba doom, ba doom, ba doom)

I love the Rising Sun, this is the place to be !

Gaudeamus Igitur

Gaudeamus igitur, Juvenes dum sumus (2x)

Post jucundam juventutem, Post molestam se cen tutem

Nos habebit humus, nos habebit humus.

Sunday noon has rolled around

And this song we're singing

In between the second course

And dessert they're bringing.

You will never hear it Monday

We have saved it up for Sunday

To tradition we're clinging

Lest from trees we'd be swinging.

Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine

Dwelt a miner '49-er and his daughter Clementine

O my darling (3x) Clementine

Thou are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy and her shoes were number nine

Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine

Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine

Stubbed her toe against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine

Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine

But alas! I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine

In a churchyard near the canyon where the myrtle doth entwine

There grow roses and other posies, fertilized by Clementine

Then the miner, '49-er, soon began to peak and pine

Thought he ought'a join his daughter, now he's with his Clementine

In my dreams she still doth haunt me, robed in garments soaked with brine

Though in life I used to hug her, now in dread I draw the line

Now ye campers, heed the warming to this tragic tale of mine

Artificial respiration would have saved my Clementine

How I missed her (2x) how I missed my Clementine

Till I kissed her little sister and forgot my Clementine

Ghost Riders In The Sky

1. An old cowpoke went riding one hot and windy day

Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,

When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw,

A-plowin' through the ragged skies and up the cloudy draw.

Chorus

Yip-i-yaa, Yip-i-yao, Ghost riders in the sky (whistle, hey)

2. Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs were made of steel,

Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

For as he saw the riders coming hard he heard their mournful cry.

3. Their face was gaunt, their eyes were blurred,

Their shirts all soaked with sweat,

They're trying to catch the devil's herd but they ain't caught'em yet

They're got to ride for evermore the range up in the sky,

On horses snorting fire... I hear their mournful cry

4. And as the riders loped on by the heard one called his name,

If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on the range,

Then cowboy better change your ways or with us you will ride

Trying to catch the devil's herd across the endless skies.

Circles In The Sand

Rodeo Cowboy by Jerry Jeff Walker

1. Well I work all day just to make a draw

And sometimes I don't get them all

I'm all hooked in and I got to ride that train

When I get down in that chute

I can't keep from thinking 'bout all that loot

I'm a rodeo cowboy

Bordering on the insane

Chorus

That's why I eat a cheeseburger

Drink a sixpack

Take a Darvon to kill the pain

I pay 32.50 just to take a fall

And live through it to to tell you about it all

I'm a rodeo cowboy

Bordering on the insane (3x)

2. Now relax and take a deep breath or two

It's a one time shot and then you're through

Just hang on boy and one day you'll have fame

When I get down in that gate

The bull takes off like a runaway freight

I'm a rodeo cowboy

Bordering on the insane

3. The cobwebs sure are thick what's going on?

I feel like all my circuits are blown

I can't remember my number or name

Give me an hour or two and I'll feel fine

At least it's worked every other time

I'm a rodeo cowboy

bordering on the insane

Blowin' In The Wind

1. How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?

Yes and how many seas must the white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes and how many times must the canonballs fly, before they're forever banned?

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

2. How many times must a man look up, before he can see the sky?

Yes and how many ears must one man have, before he can hear people cry?

Yes and how many deaths will it take till he knows,that too many people have died?

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

3. How many years must a mountain exist, before it is washed to the sea?

Yes and how many years can some people exist, before they're allowed to be free?

Yes and how many times can a man turn his head,pretending that he just doesn't see

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

So Long It's Been Good To Know Ye

1. I've sung it before and I'll sing it again

of place I'm going and places I've been

In an town called Little in old USA

here's what all of the people there say

Chorus

So long it's been good to know you (3x)

What long time since I've been home

and I've got to be drifting along

2. The sweethearts sat in the dark and they sparked

they hugged and they kissed an the dusty old dark

they sighed and they cried, they hugged and they kissed

but instead of marriage they talked like this...

3. Well she went to my family and asked what to do

they all said please take him, oh take him please do

he won't work a day, you'll always be bored

So she put on her hat, tiptoed out the door saying...

4. Well the telephone rang, it jumped of the wall

it was the preacher she was making her call

she said kind friend this may be the end

you've got your last chance at salvation for sin

Well the church it was jammed, the church was packed

the pews were so full from the front to the back

that the preacher could not read a word of her text

so she took off her specs took up the collection and said...

This Land Is Your Land

Chorus

This land is your land,

this land is my land,

from California,

to the New York island,

from the Redwood forest,

to the Gulfstream waters,

this land was made for you and me.

1. As I was walking, 4. Was a great high wall there,

that ribbon of highway, that tried to stop me;

I saw above me, Was a great big sign there,

that endless skyway. says "Private Property"

I saw below me, But on the other side,

that golden valley. it didn't say nothing

This land was made for you and me. This side was made for you and me

2. I roamed and rambled, 5. Nobody living,

and I followed my footsteps. can ever stop me.

To the sparkling sands of, As I go walking,

her diamond desert, that freedom highway.

While all around me Nobody living

a voice was chanting: can make me turn back.

'This land was made for you and me." This land was made for you and me.

3. In the squares of the city, 6. The sun was shining,

by the shadow of a steeple, as I was strolling.

By the relief office And the wheat fields weaving,

I saw my people, and the dust clouds rolling.

As they stood hungry, As the fog was lifting,

I stood there whistling a voice was chanting:

(what was he whistling ?) "This land was made for you and me."

"This land was made for you and me."

Sixteen Tons

1. Now some people say a man is made out of mud,

But a poor man's made out of muscle and blood,

muscle and blood, and skin and bones,

a mind that's weak and a back that's strong.

Chorus

You load sixteen ton and what do you get?

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

2. I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine.

I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine.

I loaded sixteen ton of number nine coal,

And the straw boss yelled'

"Well, bless my soul!"

3. I was born one morning in the drizzling rain.

Fighting and trouble is my middle name.

I was raised in a cave, bred by and old momma lion.

A stout-hearted woman made me walk the line and load..

4. If you see me coming, better step aside.

A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died.

One fist of iron, the other of steel;

If the right one doesn't get you

Then the left one will.

SIMON AND GARFUNKEL SONGS

Bridge Over Troubled Water

1. When you're weary, - 3. Sail on silver girl,

feelin' - small Sail on by, Your time has

When tears are in your eyes, - come to shine, All your

I'll dry them - all; dreams are on their - way,

I'm on your side - Oh, - when See how they shine, - Oh - if

times - get rough - you need a friend I'm sailing

And friends just can't be found right behind, Like a bridge

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water Over troubled water I will ease

I will lay me down Your mind, - Like a Bridge Over

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water Troubled Water I will ease

I will lay me down your mind

2. When you're down and out, -

When you're on the street,

When evenings fall so hard -

I will comfort you.

I'll take your part. - Oh, - when

darkness comes, And pain is all

A-round, - Like a Bridge Over

Troubled Water, I will lay me down,

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water

I will lay me down

Sounds Of Silence

1. Hello darkness my old friend

I've come to you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains - within the sounds of silence

2. In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by flash of neon light

That split the night and touched the sounds of silence

3. And in the naked light I saw

10,000 people maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never shared

No one dared disturb the sound of silence

4. And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon God they'd made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And sign said "The words of the prophets are

written on the subway walls

and tenement halls - and whisper in the sound of silence

I Am A Rock

1. A winter's day 3. Don't talk of love

In a deep and dark December Well I've heard the word before

I am alone It's sleeping in my memory

Gazing through my window I won't disturb the slumber

To the streets below Of feelings that have died

On a freshly fallen If I'd never loved I never

Silent shroud of snow would have cried....

Chorus

I am a rock ! I am an island

2. Well I've built walls 4. I have my books

A fortress steep and mighty And my poetry to protect me

That nothing can penetrate I am shielded in my armor

I have no friendship Hiding in my room

Friendship causes pain Safe within my womb

It's laughter and its loving I touch no one and

I disdain.... No one touches me...

And a rock feels no pain

And an island never cries

Scarborough Fair

1. Are you going to Scarborough Fair 3. Tell her to find me an acre of land

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there Between the salt water and the sea strands

She once was a true love mine Then she'll be a true love of mine.

2. Tell to make me a cambric shirt 4. Are you going to Scarborough Fair

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Without no seams nor needle work, Remember me to one who lives there

When she'll be true love of mine She once was a true love of mine.

The Boxer

1. I am just a poor boy 4. In the clearing stats a boxer

Though my story's seldom told and a fighter by his trade

I have squandered my existance and he carries the reminders

for a pocketful of mumbles of every glove that laid him down

such are promises... or cut him till he cried out

all lies and jest, still a man in his anger and his pain

hears what he wants to hear I am leaving I am leaving

and disregards the rest.... but the fighter still remains

2. When I left my home and my family

I was no more than a boy

in the company of strangers

in the quiet of 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 Li la li la

Lie la lie la la la la lie

la la la la lie

3. Asking only workman's wages

I come looking for a job,

but I get no offers, just

a come-on from the whores on

7^th Avenue. I do declare, there

were times when I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there....

Ooo la la la la la la

BEATLES SONGS

When I'm Sixty Four

When I get older, losing my hair

Many years from now,

Will you still be sending me a Valentine,

birthday greeting bottle of wine?

If I'd been out till a quarter to three,

would you lock the door ?

Will you still need me ?

Will you still feed me ?

When I'm Sixty Four

Oo, You'll be older too

Ah, and if you say the word

I could stay with you

I could handy, mending a fuse

when your lights have blown.

You can knit a sweater by the fire side.

Sunday morning go for a ride

Doing the garden digging the weeds,

Who could ask for more ?

Will you still need me ?

Will you still feed me ?

When I'm Sixty Four

Every summer we can rent a

cottage in the Isle of Wright

if it's not to dear..

We shall scrimp and save -

Grand children on your knee -

Vera, Chuck and Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,

stating point of view.

Indicate precisely what you mean to say

Yours sincerely, wasting away.

Give me an answer, fill in a form

Mine for ever more.

Will you still need me ?

Will you still feed me ?

When I'm Sixty Four

Yellow Submarine

1. In a town where I was born, lived a man who sailed the sea

And he told us of his life in the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun till we found the sea of green

And we lived beneath the wave in our yellow submarine

Chorus

We all live in a yellow submarine

A yellow submarine, yellow submarine (repeat)

2. And our fiends are all aboard, many more of them live next door

And the band begins to play: (make band noises together)

As we live the life of ease, everyone of us has all we need

Sky of blue and sea of green in our yellow submarine

Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be

Let It Be (4x)... Whisper words of wisdom, Let It Be (2x)

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 change that they will see

There will be an answer, Let It Be

Let It Be (4x)... There will be an answer, Let It Be

Let It Be (4x)... Whisper words of wisdom, Let It Be

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine 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

Let It Be (4x), There will be an answer, Let It Be

Imagine

1. Imagine there's no heaven 2. Imagine there no possessions

It's easy if you try I wonder if you can

No hell below us, No need for greed or hunger,

Above us only sky a brotherhood of man.

Imagine all the people, Imagine all the people,

living for today, Ah. sharing all the world

Imagine there's no countries You may say I'm a dreamer

It isn't hard to do But I'm not the only one

Nothing to kill or die for, I hope some day you'll join us,

and no religion too and the whole world will live as one.

Imagine all the people,

living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

Perhaps some day you'll join us,

and the whole world would live as one.

Hey Jude

1. Hey Jude don't make it bad 3. Hey Jude don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her into your heart, Remember to let her under your skin,

Then you can start to make it better. Then you'll begin to make it better

Hey, Jude don't be afraid, Better, better, better, better,

You were made to go out and get her, (Da da da da da da da da da Hey Jude

The minute you let her under your skin, Da da da da da da da da.......)

Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain

Hey Jude refrain,

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.

For you know that it's a fool

who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder.

Da da da da - da da da da da.

2. Hey Jude don't let me down,

You have found her, now go and get her.

Remember to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in,

Hey Jude, you'll do.

The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Da da da da - da da da da da.

With A Little Help From My Friends

1. What would you do if I sang out of tune?

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song

And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Chorus

O I get by with a little help from my friends

I'm gonna try with a little from my friends

2. What do I do when my love is away?

Does it worry you to be alone?

How do I feel at the end of the day?

Are you sad because you're on your own ?....

Bridge

Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love

Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love

3. Would you believe in a love at first sight?

Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time

What do you see when you turn out the light?

I can't tell you but I know it's mine

Yesterday

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me

Oh yesterday came suddenly

Bridge

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

What A Wonderful World

1. I see trees of green, red roses too.

I see them bloom for me and you,

and I think to myself: what a wonderful world!

I see skies of blue and clouds of white.

The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,

and I think to myself: what a wonderful world!

Bridge

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky,

are also on the faces of people going by.

I hear friends shaking hands, :Saying how do you do?"

They're really saying: "I love you."

2. I hear babies cry, I watch them grow,

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know.

And I think to myself: what a wonderful world!

What a wonderful world!

The Rose

1. Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed.

Some say love is is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love it is a hunger an endless aching need.

I say love it is a flower and you it's only seed.

2. 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 a soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

3. When the night has been to 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 suns love in spring becomes a rose.

Peace Like A River

I've got peace like a river (3x), in my soul

I've got joy like a fountain (3x), in my soul

I've got love like the ocean (3x), in my soul

Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell?, blue skies from pain?

Can you tall a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

And did the get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a leading role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Running over the same old ground, what have we found? The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

Oh Susanna

Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

I'm going to Louisiana my true love for to see

It rained all night the day I left the weather was bone dry

The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna don't you cry

Oh susanna, don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still

I dreamed I saw Susanna a-coming down the hill

A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye

Says, I'm comin' from the South: Susanna don't you cry

Working in Montana is but three months in the year

And when all your bills are paid,

There's nothing left for beer

Oh susanna, don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain

1. She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes

Toot, toot ! (2x)

She'll be comin' round the mountain, she'll be...mountain

She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes

Yum, yum !

Oh she'll have to sleep with grandma....

Snore, snore !

Dust In The Wind

1. I closed my eyes, 2. Same old song,

only for a moment, just a drop of water,

but the moment's gone. in an endless sea.

All my dreams, All we do,

pass before my eyes, crumbles to the ground,

a curiosity though we refuse to sea

Dust in the wind Dust in the wind

all we are all we are

is dust in the wind is dust in the wind

3. Don't hang on

Nothing lasts forever

but the earth and sky

it slips away

and all your money

won't another minute buy

The Rainbow Connection

1. Why are there so many songs about rainbows,

and what's on the other side ?

Rainbows are visions but only illusions,

and rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it.

I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Someday we'll find it, The rainbow connection

The lover the dreamers and me.

La da da dee da..........

2. Who said that every wish would be heard and answered.

When wished on the morning star.

Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.

Look what it's done so far.

What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing,

And what do we think we might see?

Someday we'll find it,

The rainbow connection

the lovers, the dreamers and me

Bridge

All of us under its spell

We know that it's probably magic

3. Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices

I've heard them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?

The voices might be one and the same.

I've heard it too many times to ignore it

It's something that I'm s'posed to be

Someday we'll find it.

The rainbow connection

the lovers, the dreamers and me.

3. Well, I pack up all my things and I'll go to sea....

Then the bananas see the last of me....

I've Been Working On The Railroad

1. I've been workin' on the railroad all the livelong day

I've been workin' on the railroad just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the whistle blowing? Rise up so early in the morn.

Dinah won't you blow (3x) you horn (repeat)

Someone's in the kitchen I know

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah

Puff The Magic Dragon

1. Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea.

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff

O-Puff...(chorus = 1^st 2 lines repeated twice)

2. 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

3. A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys

Painted wings and giants' 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

4. His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain

Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane

Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave

So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.

Mountain Hikers

We are hiker, Mountain hikers. To McDonalds we must go.

Heavy backpack on our shoulders. We are hiking up the hill.

On the line boys, on the line boys.

Hike the hills and stand in line.

Till counselor comes to tell you, you are hiking way to slow.

Can't you feel the sweatdrops down your pants.

It'll cut down a hiker when he's just begun.

Four days and we're back at camp

And I feel like I'm dying from smelling so bad

Yes I feel like I'm dying from smelling so bad.

You just call on me brother when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand

Bye Bye Love

1. 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

Bye bye, Love: bye bye, happiness

Hello loneliness - I think I'm gonna cry

Bye bye, Love: bye bye, sweet caress

Hello emptiness - I feel like I could die

Bye bye, my love, bye bye

I'm through with counting the star above

And here's the reason that I'm so free

My lovin' baby is through with me

Stand By Me

Stand by me Stand by me

So darling, darling

oh stand now

You've Got A Friend

1. When you're down and troubled 2. If the sky above you

And you need some love and care Grows dark and fulls of clouds

And nothing, nothing is going right And that old north wind begins to blow

Close your eyes and think of me Keep your head together

And soon I will be there And call my name out loud

To brighten up even your darkest night Soon you'll hear me knockin at your door

Chorus

You just call out my name 3. Now ain't it good to know

And you know wherever I am That you've got a friend

I'll come running, When people can be so cold

To see you again They'll hurt you, yes and desert you

Winter, spring, summer or tall And take your soul if you let them

All you have to do is call Oh, but don't you let them

And I'll be there, Yes I will

You've got a friend.

Those Were The days My Friend

1. Once upon a time there was a tavern

Where we used to raise a glass or two

Remember how we laughed away the hours

And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Chorus

Those were the day my friend, we thought they'd never end

We'd sing and dance forever and a day

We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose

For we were young and sure to have our way

2. Then the busy years went rushing by us

We lost our starry notions on the way

If by chance I'd see you in the tavern

We'd smile at one another and we'd say:...

3. Just tonight I stood before the tavern

Nothing seemed the way it used to be

In the glass I saw a strange reflection

Was that lonely person really me?...

4. Through the door came familiar laughter

I saw your face and heard you call my name

O my friends. we're older but no wiser

For in our hearts we still dream the same!...

You Are My Sunshine

Chorus

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

1. The other night, dear as I was sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

when I awoke, dear I was mistaken

And I hung my head and cried

2. I'll always love you and make you happy

If you will only say the same

But if you leave me to love another

You'll regret it all someday

Leaving On A Jet Plane by John Denver

1. All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,

I'm standin' here outside your door,

I hate to wake you up and say good bye

But the dawn is breakin', It's early morn.

Taxi's waiting, he blowing his horn.

Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

Chorus

So kiss me and smile for me,

Tell me that you'll wait for me;

Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again;

Oh, babe, I hate to go

2. 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'll think of you,

Every song I sing, I'll sing for you

When I come back,

I'll wear your wedding ring.

3. Now the time has come to leave you.

One more time... Let me kiss you,

Then close you eyes I'll be on my way

Dream about the day to come,

When I won't have to leave alone

About the times, I won't have to say...

Consider Yourself At Home

1. Consider yourself at home 3. Consider yourself our mate

Consider yourself part of the family We don't want to have no fuss,

We've taken to you so strong for after some consideration we state

It's clear we're going to get along Consider yourself one of us

2. Consider yourself well in

Consider yourself part of the furniture

There isn't a lot to spare

Who cares whatever we got we'll share

Bridge

If there should chance to be,

that we should see

always harder days

empty larder days, why grouse.

Always a chance there'll be,

somebody to fit the bill

then the drinks are on the house!

You've Lost That Loving Feeling

1. You never close your eyes anymore

when I kiss your lips.

And there no tenderness like before

in your fingertips.

You're trying hard not to show it (Baby)

But Baby, Baby I know it.

Chorus

You've lost that loving feeling

Wooh that loving feeling

You've lost that loving feeling

Now it's gone, gone, gone Whoah-wo-ho

2. Now there's no welcome look

In your eyes when I reach for you

And now you're starting to criticize little things

I do, it makes me feel just like crying (Baby)

'Cause baby somethings beautiful 'bout it.

Bridge

Baby, baby, baby, baby I'm begging you

please...(woooh) please

I need you love (4x)

So bring it on back (4x)

New York, New York

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today

I wanna be a part of it - New York, New York

These vagabond shoes are longing to stray

And step around the heart of - New York, New York

I wanna wake up in the city that doesn't sleep

To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap.

My little town blues are melting away

I'll take a brand new start of it in old New York

If I can make it there, I'd make it anywhere

It's up to you New York, New York

Start spreading '... I'm king of the hill, head of the list

Cream of the crop, at the top of the heap

My little... it anywhere/Come on, come through, New York....!

Let's Get Together

1. Love is but a song we sing, 2. Some will come and some will go,

And fear's the way we die.. And we shall surely pass.

You can make the mountains ring, When the one that left us here,

Or make the angels cry. Returns for us at last;

'Though the bird is on the wing, We are but a moment's sunlight

And you may not know why. Fading in the grass

Chorus 3. If you hear the song I sing,

Come on people now, You will understand.

Smile on your brother. You hold the key to love and fear

Everybody GET TOGETHER, In your trembling hand,

Try to love one another, right now. Just one key unlocks them both,

It's there at your command.

Heart Of Gold

1. I wanna live And I'm getting old

I wanna give Keep me searching

I've been a miner for a heart of gold

for a heart of gold And I'm getting old

It's these expressions

I never give Keep me searching

That keep me searching for a heart of gold

for a heart of gold You keep me searching

and I'm growing old

And I'm getting old Keep me searching

Keep me searching for a heart of gold

for a heart of gold I've been a miner

And I'm getting old for a heart of gold

2. I've been to Hollywood

I've been to Brentwood

I'd cross the ocean

for a heart of gold

It's just in my mind

It's such a fine line

That keeps me searching

for a heart of gold

That's What Friends Are For

1. And I never thought I feel this way

And as far as I'm concerned, I'm glad I got the chance to say

That do I believe I love you, And if should ever go away

Well then close your eyes and try to feel the way we do today

(And then if you can remember)

Keep smiling, keep shining, knowing you can always count on me

for sure - that's what friends are for

For good times, for bad times, I'll be on your side forever

More - that's what friend are for

2. And I never thought, I would feel this way

Well you came and opende me and now there's so much I can see

And so by the way I thank you, And then for the times we're apart

Well then close your eyes and know these words are coming

from my heart, and if you can remember.....

With Or Without You

See the stone set in your eyes My hands are tied

Feel the thorn twist in your side My body bruised, she's got me with

I wait for you Nothing to win

Sleight of hand and twist of fate And nothing left to lose

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait.....without you With or without you

With or without you

With or without you I can't live

With or without you With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore

You give it all but I want more

And I'm waiting for you

With or without you

I can't live

With or without you

And you give yourself away

And you give

And you give yourself away

My Girl

1. I've got sunshine 2. I've got so much honey

on a cloudy day that the bees envy me

When it's cold outside I've got a sweeter song,

I've got the month of May than the birds in the trees.

Chorus 3. I don't need no money

I guess you'd say fortune or fame

What can make me feel this way I got all the riches baby

My Girl (3x) That one man can claim

Talking 'bout my girl

My girl
