Songs For Herr Children

1.
THE WOODPECKER SONG

He's up each morning bright and early
To wake up all the neighborhood
To bring to ev'ry boy and girlie
His happy serenade on wood.
Hear him pickin' out a melody

Peck, peck, peckin' at the same old tree.
He's as happy as a bumble bee
All day long.
To serenade your lady

Just find a tree that's shady
And when you hear that tick-a-tick-tick, tick-atick-tick
Sing right along.
Come on and try his rhythm

And let your hearts beat with 'im
1
Just listen to that tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick

Happy little Woodpecker Song.
2. O' WHEN THE SAINTS
O when the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
I want to be in that number
And when the sun refuse (begins) to shine

And when the sun refuse (begins) to shine
When the moon turns red with blood

When the moon turns red with blood
O when the trumpet sounds the call

O when the trumpet sounds the call
When the air is pure and clean

When the air is pure and clean
When we all have food to eat

When we all have food to eat
3.ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND
BEAUTIFUL
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:

The Lord God made them all.
Each little flowr that opens,

Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountains,

The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,

The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,

The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.
He gave us eyes to see them,

And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well
4.UNA PALOMA BLANCA
When the sun shines on the mountain
And the night is on the run
It's a new day
It's a new way
And I fly up to the sun
I can feel the morning sunlight

I can smell the new-mown hay
5
I can hear God's voice is calling

For my golden sky light way
Una paloma blanca

I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
Once I had my share of losing

for they locked me on a chain
Yes they tried to break my power
oh I still can feel the pain
Una paloma blanca

Una paloma blanca
Una paloma blanca

Una paloma blanca
5.IT'S A SMALL WORLD
It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears
There's so much that we share that it's time we're
aware
It's a small world after all

It's a small, small world
There is just one moon and one golden sun

And a smile means friendship to everyone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide

It's a small, small world

6.COUNTRY ROADS
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
8
Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Chorus:
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories, gathered 'round her

Miners' Lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Chorus
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me

The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get the feeling

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Chorus x 2 (modulates)
7.JAMAICA FAREWELL
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way

Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
10
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

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

Down the way where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
11
I took a trip on a sailing ship

And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

Sad to say I'm on my way

8.COME BACK LIZA
Every time I'm away from Liza
Water come to me eye
12
[REFRAIN:]
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from my eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from my eye
I remember when love was new

There was one, but now there's two
[REFRAIN:]
Come back Liza, come back girl...
When the evening starts to fall

I need to hear my Liza's call
13
[REFRAIN:]
Standing there in the marketplace

Soon I'll feel her warm embrace
[REFRAIN:]
In the shadow I stand a while

Soon I'll see my Liza's smile
[REFRAIN:]
14

[REFRAIN:]
9.ISLAND IN THE SUN
Oh island in the sun
Built to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sand
As morning breaks, the Heaven on high

I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
15
Mingles my sweat with the earth below

I see woman on bended knee

Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the water-side
Casting nets at the surging tide

I hope the day will never come
16
When I can't awake to the sound of drum

Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical

10.OVER THE RAINBOW
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
17
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.

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?
11.SWING LOW,SWEET CHARIOT
Swing low, sweet chariot,
18
Comin' for to carry me home;

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.
I looked over Jordan,

And what did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home,
A band of angels comin' after me,
Repeat chorus:
If you get there before I do,

Comin' for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends I'm comin' too,
12.HASTA MANANA
Where is the spring and the summer
19
That once was yours and mine?

Where did it go?
I just don't know
But still my love for you will live forever
Hasta Manana 'til we meet again

Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta Manana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta Manana, baby, Hasta Manana, until then
Where is the dream we were dreaming

And all the nights we shared
Where did they go?
20
I just don't know

And I can't tell you just how much I miss you
Hasta Manana 'til we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow

13.FERNANDO
21
Can you hear the drums Fernando?

I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly
strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando

Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us
prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night

The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
22
For liberty, Fernando

Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando

And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your
hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the
Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this
land

23

There's no regret

There's no regret
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...
14.EAGLE
They came flying from far away, now I'm under
their spell
24
I love hearing the stories that they tell

They've seen places beyond my land and they've
found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle

And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly

wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and
higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real?
25
Is it true I'm an eagle?

Is it true I can spread my wings?
(I'm an eagle)
(What a feeling)
And I dream I'm an eagle

And I dream I can spread my wings
(I'm an eagle)
(What a feeling)
26

(I'm an eagle)
(What a feeling)
15.I HAVE A DREAM
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
27
I have a dream, a fantasy

To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
I believe in angels
I have a dream, a song to sing

To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
28
I believe in angels
16.WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS
GONE
Where have all the flowers gone, long time
passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time

passing?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time
ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
29
Gone for husbands everyone.

Where have all the husbands gone, long time

passing?
Where have all the husbands gone, long time ago?
Where have all the husbands gone?
Gone for soldiers everyone
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time

passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, everyone.
30
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time

passing?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time
ago?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, everyone.
Where have all the flowers gone, long time

passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone.
17.ASH GROVE
Down yonder green valley where streamlets
31
meander,
When twilight is fading, I pensively rove,
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely Ash grove.
'Twas there while the blackbird was joyfully

singing,
I first met my dear one, the joy of my heart;
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing,
Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part.
Still grows the bright sunshine o'er valley and

mountain,
Still warbles the blackbird his note from the tree;
Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and
fountain,
But what are the beauties of nature to me.
With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden,

32
All day I go mourning in search of my love.

Ye echoes, O tell me, where is the sweet maiden?
She sleeps 'neath the green turf down by the Ash
grove.
18.OH SUSANNA
I come from Alabama with my 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 it was
dry
The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna, don't you
cry.
Chorus
Oh! Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me,

For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my
knee.
I had a dream the other night, when everything was

still;
33
I thought I saw Susanna dear, a coming down the

hill.
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in
her eye,
Says I, I'm coming from the south, Susanna, don't
you cry.
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look

around,
And when I find Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her, then I will surely die,
And when I'm dead and buried, Oh, Susanna, don't
you cry.
19.MY FAVOURITE THINGS
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels

34
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with

noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
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
20.THE HILLS ARE ALIVE
The hills are alive,
With the sound of music
With songs they have sung
35
For a thousand years
The hills fill my heart,

My heart wants to sing
Every song it hears
My heart wants to beat

Like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh

Like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook

When it trips and falls
Over stones on its way
36
To sing through the night

Like a lark
Who is learning to pray
I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely
I know I will hear
What I've heard before
My heart will be blessed,
And I'll sing once more.
21.DO-RE-MI
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
37
The first three notes just happen to be

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
[spoken]
Let's see if I can make it easy
Doe, a deer, a female deer

Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
[Maria and Children:]
38
[Repeat above verse twice]
[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!
[Maria: (spoken)]
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on
are only the tools we use to build a song.
Once you have these notes in your heads,
you can sing a million different tunes by mixing
them up.
Like this.
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
[spoken]
Can you do that?
[Children:]
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
39
[Maria:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Children:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Maria:]
[spoken]
Now, put it all together.

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Maria:]
[spoken]
Good!
[Brigitta:]
[spoken]
But it doesn't mean anything.
[Maria:]
[spoken]
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like
40
this.
When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything
[spoken]
Together!


41
That will bring us back to Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re
[Children:]
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti
[Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings]
[Maria:]

42

That will bring us back to
[Maria:]
[Children:]
Do . . . So Do
Re . . . La Fa
Mi . . . Mi Do
Fa . . . Re
So . . . So Do
La . . . La Fa
Ti . . . La So Fa Mi Re
43
Ti Do - oh - oh Ti Do -- So Do
22.EDELWEISS
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
23.COTTON FIELDS
CHORUS1:
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;
CHORUS2:
44
It was down in Louisiana,

Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.
CHORUS3:
Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home.
CHORUS2
CHORUS1

CHORUS2
24.HOME ON THE RANGE
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
45
Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range

The red man was pressed from this part of the west
It's not likely he'll ever return
To the banks of Red River where seldom if ever
His flickering campfires still burn

46
How often at night when the heavens are bright

I see the light of those flickering stars
Have I laid there amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of love

25.COCKLES AND MUSSLES
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!
47
She was a fish-monger, but sure 'twas no wonder

For so were her father and mother before
And they each wheeled their barrow
She died of a fever, and no one could save her

And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
But her ghost wheels her barrow
26.THE WORM
The earth it was damp with the dew of the dawn
And sweet-scented air spread over the lawn.
A handsome young worm popped out from the
48
ground. Squeezing up from his hole, he gazed all

around.
La La La La La La La La La La La La
Just then as he stared at the sun in the sky
Another little worm popped up quite nearby.
Said the first with a squiggle, You're a trim little
worm.
Why not wriggle out here and we'll go for a
squirm.
If you'd only agree to a brief rendezvous

I would love to surrender my heart just for you.
I would build you a home and I'd treat you with
care
And happy we'd be as the birds in the air.
Then the trim little worm gave a shake of its head
As it sadly replied, I would love to be wed,
But I fear we can't marry though I know you'd be
49
true,
For you see, Mr Worm, I'm the other end of you!
27.IF I HAD A HAMMER
If I had a hammer,
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening,
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger,
I'd hammer out a warning,
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my
sisters,
All over this land.
If I had a bell,
I'd ring it in the morning,
I'd ring it in the evening,
All over this land
I'd ring out danger,
I'd ring out a warning
50
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 got a hammer,
And I got a bell,
And I 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,
51
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.
28.BLOWING IN THE WIND
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea?
52
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

53
29. LONG ROAD TO FREEDOM
It's a long road to freedom,
A winding steep and high,
But when you walk in love
With the wind on your wing
And cover the earth
with the songs you sing
The miles fly by.
1- I walked, one morning by the sea
54
And all the waves reached out to me
I took their tears, then let them be
2- I walked, one morning at the dawn
When bits of night still lingered on
I sought my star, but it was gone
3- I walked, one morning with a friend
And prayed the day would never end
The years have flown, so why pretend
55
4- I walked, one morning with my King
And all my winters turned to spring
Yet every moment, held it's sting
30. ODE TO JOY
Joyful, joyful
We adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
56
Giver of immortal gladness

Fill us with the light of day
With light
With light
Mortals join the mighty chorus

Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning o'er us
Brother love binds man to man
Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music lifts us Son ward
In the triumph song of life
31. MOTHER OF MINE

Mother of mine you gave to me, all of my life to do
as I please,
57
I owe everything I have to you,

Mother sweet mother of mine.
Mother of mine when I was young

You showed me the right way things had to be
done,
Without your arms where would I be,
Chorus:
Mother you gave me happiness, much more than
words can say,
I thank the lord let me breathe with you, every
night and every day.
Mother of mine now I am grown and I can walk

straight all on my own,
I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
58
Chorus
Mother of mine now I am grown and I can walk

straight all on my own,
I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
Mother sweet mother of mine
32. YELLOW SUBMARINE
In the town where I was born

Lived a man who sailed to 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 waves
59
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all on board

Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

[Full speed ahead, Mr. Parker, full speed ahead!

Full speed over here, sir!
60
Action station! Action station!

Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Heaven! Heaven!]
As we live a life of ease (A life of ease)

Everyone of us (Everyone of us) has all we need
(Has all we need)
Sky of blue (Sky of blue) and sea of green (Sea of
green)
In our yellow (In our yellow) submarine
(Submarine, ha, ha)

Sleepy Joe
Sleepy Joe
Rise and shine, sleepy Joe

Nows the time, dont you know
To get into a new kind of dream
Youve been living alone
With no Bell telephone
And you dont have a shirt that is clean
You can rest your head
On the corner of your bed
You can watch the world go by
But you never gonna see
What the other people see
62
If youre always gonna be a sleepy joe.

There are places to go
There are windows to clean on the way
Youve got nothing to loose,
But the shine on your shoes
Do the best things you can every day.
You can get upset, at the way the people get
You can turn your back on the crowd
But you never gonna see
What is absolutely real
If youre always gonna be a sleepy Joe.

O Bring back my Bonnie to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead
Repeat chorus.
35. RIVERS OF BABYLON
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down

67
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange
land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange
land
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of
our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of
our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

When we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power)

69
We are the same

just different colors
We have one life to live
So much to give and so much to share
There is love to be found
Just look around
Theres happiness there
People over the world
Love without chains
Like sisters and brothers
Face each day with a smile
And in a while sunshine appears
Youll feel warm deep inside
No need to hide, from danger and fear
Reach Out your hand
And touch each other
70
We are the same

just different colors
We have one life to live
So much to give and so much to share
There is love to be found
Just look around
Theres happiness there
People reach out you hand.
Reach out your hand
37. TOP OF THE WORLD

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes

71
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on

creation
72
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been

around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the

breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
73
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and

me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on

creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been

around
74
Your love's put me at the top of the world
38. PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
Honah Lee,
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other
fancy stuff. oh

Honah Lee,
Honah Lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed

75
sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic
tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they
came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff
roared out his name. oh!

Honah Lee,
Honah Lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys

Painted wings and giant rings make way for other
toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie paper came no
more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless
76
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!

Honah Lee,
Honah Lee.
39. ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE

She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
77
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,

Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesn't look back

He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh
Think twice
'Cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh
Think twice
'Cause it's another day for you
You and me in paradise
(Think about it)
78
She calls out to the man on the street

He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying
Oh
Think twice
Oh
Think twice
It's just another day for you
You and me in paradise
Just think about it
Oh lord!
Is there nothing more anybody can do?
Oh-oh whoa lord!
79
There must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face

You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
Cause she didn't fit in there
Oh
Think twice
Oh
Think twice
It's just another day for you
You and me in paradise (Another day in paradise,
ooh)
Just think about it

Hmm-mmm
Think about it
80
It's just another day

For you and me
In paradise
It's just another day
For you and me
In paradise
(Para, paradise)
40. MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR
PEACE
Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me bring Your love,
Where there is injury, Your pardon Lord,
And where there's doubt, true faith in You

Where there's despair in life let me bring hope,
Where there is darkness - only light,
81
And where there's sadness, ever joy
Oh Master, grant that I may never seek,

So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood, as to understand,
To be loved, as to love with all my soul

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all men that we receive,
And in dying that we're born to eternal life

Gods gifts have come to you,
Now the sin has gone and cleared,
Jesus is living life on the cross
Oh master grant that I may never seek,
82
so much to be consoled as to console,

to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love with alI my soul.
41. SCARBOROUGH FAIR.

Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage,
rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once
was a true love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of

a hill in the deep forest green).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing a
sparrow on snow-crested ground).
Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and
bedclothes the child of the mountain).
Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware
of the clarion call).
Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a

83
hill, a sprinkling of leaves).

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Washes the
grave with silvery tears).
Between salt water and the sea strands (A soldier
cleans and polishes a gun).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War

bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order
their soldiers to kill).
And gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to
fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage,

rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once
was a true love of mine.

42.WALTZING MATILDA
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy
boiled
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up got the swaggie and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his
tucker-bag
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his
tucker-bag
85
Down came the squatter mounted on his

thoroughbred
Up came the troopers One Two Three
Who's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?

Who's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Up got the swaggie and jumped into the billabong

You'll never catch me alive said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that
billabong

86

And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that
billabong
43.JOSHUA FOUGHT THE BATTLE OF

JERICHO
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho,
And the walls came tumbling down!
You may talk about your men of Gideon,

You may talk about your men of Saul,
But there's none like good old Joshua
And the battle of Jericho!

Jericho, Jericho,
87

Right up to the walls of Jericho
They marched with spear in hand;
"Go blow them ram horns," Joshua cried,
"Cause the battle is in my hand."

Jericho, Jericho,
Then the lamb, ram,

Sheep horns began to blow,
And the trumpets began to sound,
Joshua told the children to shout that morning
88

Jericho, Jericho,
44.CLEMENTINE
In a cavern, In a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner forty-niner,
And his daughter Clementine.
Chorus:
Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
Oh my darling Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry Clementine.
89
Repeat chorus
Light she was and like a fairy,

And her shoes were number nine;
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.
Repeat chorus
Drove she ducklings to the water,

Every morning just at nine;
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.
Repeat chorus
Ruby lips above the water,

Blowing bubbles, soft and fine;
90
But Alas! I was no swimmer,

So I lost my Clementine.
Repeat chorus
45. SEASONS IN THE SUN
Goodbye to you my trusted friend

We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
[Bryan:]
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
91
[All:]
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out
of time
[Shane:]
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
[Mark:]
Goodbye papa it's hard to die
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there
92
[All:]
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all
gone
gone
[Nicky:]
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
[Shane:]
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
93
Now that the spring is in the air

With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
[All:]
of time
gone
of time
But the wine and the song like the seasonS HAVE
ALL GONE.
46.SOUNDS OF SILENCE
94
Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with 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 sound of silence
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 the flash of a neon
light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more
95
People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are
96
written on the subway walls

And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
47. MAMMA'S SOUP SURPRISE
When I was a little kid

I never liked to eat
Mom would put things on my plate
And I'd dump 'em on her feet
But then one day she made this soup
I ate it all in bed
I asked her what she put in it
And this is what she said:
"Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips

And alligator eyes
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs
97
And salamander thighs

Rabbit ears and camel rears
And tasty toenail pies
Stir 'em all together
And it's mama's soup surprise"
I went into the bathroom

And I stood beside the sink
I said, "I'm feeling slightly ill
And I think I'd like a drink"
Mama said, "I've just the thing

I'll get it in a wink
It's full of lots of protein
And vitamins, I think"
"Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips

And alligator eyes
98
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs

And salamander thighs
Rabbit ears and camel rears
And tasty toenail pies
Stir 'em all together
And it's mama's soup surprise"
48. NO WHERE MAN
He's a real nowhere man,

Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,

Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
99
Nowhere Man please listen,

You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man,the world is at your command!
(lead guitar)
He's as blind as he can be,

Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,

Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand!
Doesn't have a point of view,

Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
100
Nowhere Man please listen,

you don't know what you're missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command!
He's a real Nowhere Man,

Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
for nobody.
for nobody.
for nobody!
49.DANCING SHOES
You must have heard of little bo-peep

She was the girl with all the sheep
101
Well one day its sad to say

Her sheep all ran away
She was lonely and she was blue
She was sad and crying too
So I told her what to do
I said put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes (3)

And dance away your blues
You must have heard of Jack & Jill

Theyre the ones who went up the hill
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after
What a noise their crying made

It was a ringing through the glades
So I told them what to do
102
And i changed their tears to laughter

A friend of mine had an accident

Laughed so hard off the wall he went
Humpty Dumpty was his name
I guess you have heard the same
He was lying on the ground

Bits and pieces all around
So I told him what to do
I said put on your dancing shoes

103
50. ALL KINDS OF EVERYTHING
Snowdrops and daffodils

Butterflies and bees
Sailboats and fishermen
Things of the sea
Wishing-wells
Wedding bells
Early morning dew
All kinds of everything remind me of you
Seagulls and aeroplanes

Things of the sky
Winds that go howlin'
Breezes that sigh
City sights
Neon lights
104
Grey skies or blue

All kinds of everything remind me of you
Summertime
Wintertime
Spring and autumn too
Monday
Tuesday every day
I think of you.
Dances
Romances
Things of the night
Sunshine and holidays
Postcards to write
Budding trees
Autumn leaves
A snowflake or two
All kinds of everything remind me of you.
105
Summertime
Wintertime
Spring and autumn too
Seasons will never change
The way that I love you.
Dances

50.RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING.
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his
bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep
fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun

And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep
fallin'
But there's one thing I know

The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
107

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin'
red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
[trumpet]
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin'
red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
108
51. BARE NECESSITIES
Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam

I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
109
The bare necessities of life will come to you

They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a pawpaw

Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
110
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw

Have I given you a clue ?

They'll come to you!
So just try and relax, yeah cool it

Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard
And don't spend your time lookin' around

For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true
111
52.WORDS
Smile, an everlasting smile

A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost it's glory
Lets start a brand new story
Now my love
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say...
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
Talk, in everlasting words

112
And dedicate them all, to me

And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
a single word I say...
[Chorus, repeat]
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
This world has lost it's glory

Let's start a brand new story
Now, my love
a single word I say...
113
[Repeat chorus twice]
53. YOU RAISE ME UP
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;

When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
[Instrumental break]

Desmond has a barrow in the market place

Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly, "Girl I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah

La la how the life goes on

Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing

55. THIS LAND IS MY LAND
This land is your land, this land is my land

118
From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway

I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
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
Chorus
119
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
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there

And that sign said - no tress passin'
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'
120
If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)
56. I'D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD

TO SING
I'd like to build a world a home

and furnish it with love.
Grow apple trees and honey bees
and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing

in perfect harmony.
I'd like to hold it in my arms,
and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
121
all standing hand in hand.

And hear them echo through the hills
for peace throughout the land.
It's the real thing

what the world wants today,
That's the way it'll stay
with the real thing.
I'd like to teach the world to sing

in perfect harmony.
A song of peace that echoes on
and never goes away.
Put your hand in my hand

let's begin today,
With your hand in my hand
help me find a way.
122
I'd like to see the world for once

all standing hand in hand.
And hear them echo through the hills
for peace throughout the land.
I'd like to teach the world to sing,

in perfect harmony.
A song of peace that echos on,
and never goes away.
57. MOON SHADOW
Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow,

moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow,
And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose

123
my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if.... I won't have to
work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run
dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if.... I won't have to
cry no more.
Oh I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow,

Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow,
And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I

won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if.... I won't have to
walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north
and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if.... I won't have
to talk...
124

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful

light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna
stay the night?

58. HAPPY WANDERER
I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
125
And as I go, I love to sing,

My knapsack on my back.
Chorus:
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.
I love to wander by the stream

That dances in the sun,
So joyously it calls to me,
"Come! Join my happy song!"
I wave my hat to all I meet,

And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From ev'ry green wood tree.
126
High overhead, the skylarks wing,

They never rest at home
But just like me, they love to sing,
As o'er the world we roam.
Oh, may I go a-wandering

Until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath God's clear blue sky!

EXPIALIDOCIOUS
Its... Super-Cali-Fragil-istic-espi-ali-docious. Even

Verse
Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a
lad.
Me father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was
bad.
But then one day I learned a word that saved me
aching nose
The biggest word I ever heard and this is how it
goes.
CHORUS
VERSE
He traveled all around the world
128
And everywhere he went

He'd use this word and all would say there goes a
clever gent
When dukes refused to pass
The time of day with me
I'd say me special word
And then they'd offer
A cup of tea
(CHORUS)
Um diddle diddle
Diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle
Diddle um diddle ay...
So when the cat

Has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
129
Just summon up this word

And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully

Or it may change your life
One night I said it to me girl
And now me girl's me wife
And a lovely thing she is too
She's Super-cali-fragil

130
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,

And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And days of long ago!
Chorus:
For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by,
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by.
We two have run about the hillsides

And pulled the daisies fine,
But we have wandered many a weary foot
For times gone by.
We two have paddled (waded) in the stream

From noon until dinner time,
131
But seas between us broad have roared

Since times gone by.
And there is a hand, my trusty friend,

And give us a hand of yours,
And we will take a goodwill drink (of ale)
For times gone by!
And surely you will pay for your pint,

And surely I will pay for mine!
And we will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by!
61.TEACH YOUR CHILDREN
You, who are on the road, must have a code, that

you can live by.
And so, become yourself, because the past, is just a
good bye.
132
Teach, your children well, their father's hell, did

slowly go by,
And feed, them on your dreams, the one they
picked, the one you're known 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 the tender years, can't know the fears,

that your elders grew by.
And so please help, them with your years, they
seek the truth before they can die.
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're known 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.
133
62.WE ARE THE WORLD
There comes a time when we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day

That someone, will soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
[Chorus]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
134
So lets start giving

There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone

cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at

all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
well well well well
Let us realize that a change can only come
135
When we stand together as one
[Chorus: x2]

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,

'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so

Call up your friends, dilly, dilly

Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork
Some to the hay, dilly dilly,

Some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,

Lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly,
I shall be queen
Who told you so, dilly dilly,

Who told you so?

'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so.

66.HEART WILL GO ON
Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you
146
go on.
Far across the distance

And spaces Between us
You have come to show you
go on .
Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on,
Once more you open the door,
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on.
Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til
we're gone.
147
Love was when I loved you

One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always
go on.
Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on,
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on,
you're here, there's nothing I fear

And I know that my heart will go on,
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
67.ANNIE'S SONG
148
You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,

like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the
rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,

let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your
arms,
let me lay down beside you, let me always be with
you.
Come let me love you, come love me again.
You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,

like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the
rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

69.FREIGHT TRAIN
Freight train freight train goin' so fast

Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I've gone
Freight train, freight train, comin' round the bend

Freight train, freight train, gone again
154
One of these days turn that train around

Go back to my hometown

One more place I'd like to be

One more place I'd love to see
To watch those old blue ridge mountains climb
As I ride ol' number nine

155
When I die please bury me deep

Down at the end of bleecker street
So I can hear ol' number nine
As she goes rollin' by

So they won't know where I've gone.
70.CIRCLE OF LIFE
From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say eat or be eaten

156
Some say live and let live

But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
In the circle of life

It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
Some of us fall by the wayside

And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
There's far too much to take in here
157
More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
71.THOSE WERE THE DAYS
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
Those were the days 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.
La la la la...
158
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

Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la...
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 woman really me
159

La la la la...
Through the door there came familiar laughter

I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

160

La la la la...
72.RED RIVER VALLEY
From this valley they say you are going,

We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,
For they say you are taking the sunshine
Which has brightened our pathways a while.
Chorus
Come and sit by my side if you love me;

Do not hasten to bid me adieu,
But remember the Red River Valley,
And the girl that has loved you so true.
I've been thinking a long time, my darling,

161
Of the sweet words you never would say,

Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish?
For they say you are going away.
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving,

Oh, how lonely and sad it will be,
Just think of the fond heart you're breaking,
And the grief you are causing to me.
From this valley they say you are going,

When you go, may your darling go too?
Would you leave her behind unprotected,
When she loves no one other than you.
As you go to your home by the ocean,

May you never forget those sweet hours,
That we spent in the Red River Valley,
And the love we exchanged 'mid the flowers.
162
I have promised you, darling, that never

Will a word from my lips cause you pain,
And my life, it will be yours forever,
If you only will love me again.
They will bury me where you have wandered,

Near the hills where the daffodils grow,
When you're gone from the Red River valley,
For I can't live without you I know.
73.WHEN JOHNNY COMES
MARCHING HOME
When Johnny comes marching home again,

Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
163
The ladies they will all turn out

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes
marching home.
The old church bell will peal with joy

Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
marching home.
Get ready for the Jubilee,

Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now
To place upon his loyal brow
164

marching home.
Let love and friendship on that day,

Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
marching home
74.IMAGINE
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
165
Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Sharing all the world...
166
You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
75.WHEN YOU WISH UPON A

STAR
When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme
As dreamers do
167
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and sees you through
Your dreams come true
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and sees you through
168

Your dreams come true

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.

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail.

Yes I would.
180
If I could,
I surely would.
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.

Yes I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.
CHORUS
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man get tied up to the ground
He gives the earth
It's saddest sound,
It's saddest sound.
I'd rather be a forest than a street.

Yes I would.

If I could,
I surely would.
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,

Yes I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.

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
Let it be, let it be
182
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
Yeah there will be an answer, let it be

Ah let it be, yeah let it be
183
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,

Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be

84. THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC
184
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore

If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk

She says I began to sing long before I could talk
185
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?

Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
So I say
What would life be?
For giving it to me
I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair

I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
186
So I say
What would life be?
For giving it to me

A the heart that can yearn and cry without tears.

Last night we we had ten puppies
Today we've only nine

89. MY GRANDFATHER'S CLOCK
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf

So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was

born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped, short never to go again
When the old man died
Refrain:
Ninety years without slumbering
tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering
tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped, short never to go again
197
My grandfather said that of those he could hire

Not a servant so faithful he found
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
At the close of each week to be wound
Refrain
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face

And its hands never hung by its side
But it stopped short, never to go again
Refrain
It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night

An alarm that for years had been dumb
198
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight

That his hour for departure had come
Refrain
Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled
chime
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped short, never to go again
Refrain
Ninety years without slumbering

His life seconds numbering
It stopped short, never to go again

91. LITTLE BOXES

200
Little boxes on the hillside,

Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses

All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
201
And they all play on the golf course

And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business

And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,

92.FIRE FLIES
You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm
asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

From ten thousand lightning bugs
203
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)

asleep
(When I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack

(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
204
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

(Ha-ha)
To ten million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)
[2x]
asleep
(When I fall asleep)
205

asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams.
93. 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
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
206
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away
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
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
94. SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy

Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
207
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely

Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you

I'd give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way

If I had a tale that I could tell you

I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while
208

Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
Sunshine almost always
95. WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

2. BRING A TORCH
Bring a torch, Jeannette, Isabella

Bring a torch, come swiftly and run
Christ is born, tell the folk of the village
Jesus is sleeping in His cradle
Ah, ah, beautiful is the Mother
Ah, ah, beautiful is her Son.
It is wrong when the Child is sleeping
221
It is wrong to talk so loud

Silence all, as you gather around
Lest your noise should waken Jesus
Hush! hush! see how fast He slumbers
Hush! hush! see how fast He sleeps.
Hasten now, good folk of the village
Hasten now, the Christ-Child to see
You will find him asleep in the manger
Quietly come and whisper softly
Hush, hush, peacefully now He slumbers
Hush, hush, peacefully now He sleeps.
Softly to the little stable
Softly for a moment come
Look and see how charming is Jesus
How He is white, His cheeks are rosy
Hush! hush! see how the Child is sleeping
Hush! hush! see how He smiles in his dreams.
222

Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!

Don't you tell a single soul, What Im going to
say;
Christmas Eve is coming soon; Now, you dear
old man,
Whisper what you'll bring to me: Tell me if you
can.
When the clock is striking twelve, When I'm

fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black, With your
pack you'll creep;
All the stockings you will find Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one, You'll be sure to
know.
Johnny wants a pair of skates, Susy wants a sled

nelie wants a picture book yellow blue and red
223

choose for me dear santa clause you will no the
best
4.ROCKIN' AROUND THE CHRISTMAS

TREE.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop,
Mistletoe hung where you can see,
Every couple tries to stop,
Rockin' around the Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring,
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie,
And we'll do some caroling.
You will get a sentimental feeling when you

hear,
224
Voices singing, "Let's be jolly,

Deck the halls with boughs of holly",
Have a happy holiday,
Everyone dancin' merrily,
In the new old-fashioned way.

4. O'CHRISTMAS TREE
225
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
Thy leaves are so unchanging!

Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.
226

Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
5.JINGLE BELL ROCK
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
227
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock
6.JINGLE BELLS
228
Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
229
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

Jingle all the way
Jingle all the way
In a one horse open sleigh yeah
230

Jingle all the way
Jingle all the way
8.RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
231
used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
9.LEAD KINDLY LIGHT
Lead, kindly Light, amid thencircling gloom,

lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home; lead
232
Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou

shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead
Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still

will lead me on.
Oer moor and fen, oer crag and torrent, till
the night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I
Have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,

233
Thyself hast trod,

Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith,
home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life.
10.O' COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
O come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant

Oh come ye O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him born the King of angels;
O come let us adore him Christ the Lord.
God of God light of light

Lo he abhors not the virgin's womb;
Very God begotten not created:
O come let us adore him Christ the Lord.
Sing choirs of angels sing in exultation

234
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above;

Glory to God in the highest:
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
See how the shepards summoned to his cradel,

Leaving their flocks, draw nigh with lowly fear;
We too will thither hend our joyful footsteps;
Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy

morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:
11.DECK THE HALL
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.
235
Tis the season to be jolly,

Don we now our gay apparel,

Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
See the blazing Yule before us,

Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Follow me in merry measure,

While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
236
Fast away the old year passes,

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Sing we joyous, all together,

Heedless of the wind and weather,
12. WE THREE KINGS
We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
237
O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain

Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Guide us to Thy perfect light
Frankincense to offer have I

Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
238
Worship Him, God most high

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume

Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

Glorious now behold Him arise
239
King and God and Sacrifice

Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heav'n replies

13. GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
While shepherds kept their watching

Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
240
That Jesus Christ is born.
The shepherds feared and trembled

When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth:
Down in a lowly manger

Our humble Christ was born
And God send us salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn:
241
When I am a seeker,
I seek both night and day;
I seek the Lord to help me,
And He shows me the way:
He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.
242
14. MARY'S BOY CHILD
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on

Christmas Day.
And man will live for evermore because of
Christmas Day.
Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible

said
Christmas Day.
Hark now hear the angels sing a king was born

today
And man will live for evermore because of
Christmas Day.
Christmas Day.
243
While shepherds watched their flock by

night,they see a bright new shining star, they
hear a choir sing a song the music seemed to
come from afar.
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born

today,
And man will live for evermore, because of
Christmas Day.
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to

Bethlehem that night,
they found no place to bear her child, not a
single room was in sight.
And then they found a little nook in a stable all

forlorn,
and in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little
boy was born.
244
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born

today,
And man will live for evermore, because of
Christmas Day.
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on
Christmas Day.
15.JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world! The Lord has come

Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare His room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world! the Savior reigns

Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
245
Rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sound joy
No more let sin and sorrow grow

Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make
His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found
He rules the world with truth and grace

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of is love
246
And wonders and wonders of His love.
Joy to the world! The Lord has come

Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare His room
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world! the Savior reigns

Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat, repeat the sound joy
247
No more let sin and sorrow grow

Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make
His blessings flow
Far as, far as the curse is found
He rules the world with truth and grace

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of is love
And wonders and wonders of His love
16. SILENT NIGHT
Silent night, Holy night
248
All is calm, all is bright

Round yon virgin , mother and child
Holy infant so, tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven above
Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah.
Christ our Savior is born,
Christ our Savior is born.

Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
249
Jesus, Lord at thy birth.
17.HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
Hark the herald angels sing

"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Christ by highest heav'n adored

Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
250
Offspring of a Virgin's womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

THE WOODPECKER SONG

Hear him pickin' out a melody

To serenade your lady

Come on and try his rhythm

Just listen to that tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick

And when the sun refuse (begins) to shine

When the moon turns red with blood

O when the trumpet sounds the call

When the air is pure and clean

When we all have food to eat

All things wise and wonderful:

Each little flowr that opens,

The purple-headed mountains,

The cold wind in the winter,

The tall trees in the greenwood,

He gave us eyes to see them,

I can feel the morning sunlight

I can hear God's voice is calling

Una paloma blanca

Once I had my share of losing

Una paloma blanca

No one can take my freedom away

Una paloma blanca

It's a small world after all

There is just one moon and one golden sun

It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all

Life is old there, older than the trees

All my memories, gathered 'round her

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

And drivin' down the road I get the feeling

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way

Sounds of laughter everywhere

Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

Down at the market you can hear

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way

Down the way where the nights are gay

I took a trip on a sailing ship

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way

Sad to say I'm on my way

I remember when love was new

When the evening starts to fall

Standing there in the marketplace

In the shadow I stand a while

Come back Liza, come back girl...

Every time I'm away from Liza

As morning breaks, the Heaven on high

Mingles my sweat with the earth below

Oh island in the sun

I see woman on bended knee

Oh island in the sun

I hope the day will never come

When I can't awake to the sound of drum

Oh island in the sun

Somewhere over the rainbow

Someday I'll wish upon a star

Somewhere over the rainbow

If happy little bluebirds fly

Comin' for to carry me home;

I looked over Jordan,

If you get there before I do,

That once was yours and mine?
