EAST VIRGINIA I was born and raised in East Virginia North Carolina I did roam And there I met the fairest maiden Her name and age I do not know Her hair it was of a light brown color Her cheeks they were of a rosy red And on her breasts she wore white lilies Where I long to lay my head I'd rather be in some dark 'holler' Where the sun don't never shine Than to see he wed another And to know that she's never be mine I was born and raised in East Virginia North Carolina I did roam And there I met the fairest maiden Her name and age I do not know

MOLLY MALONE In Dublin’s Fair City Where the girls are so pretty I first laid my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheel’d her wheel barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o! Chorus Alive, alive o!, alive, alive o! Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o! She was a fishmonger But sure ’twas no wonder For so were her father and mother before And they each wheel’d their barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o! Chorus 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 Through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!

FINNEGANS WAKE Tim Finnegan lived on Walkin Street And a gentle, Irishman, mighty odd; He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet And to rise in the world he carried a hod. Yes he'd a sort o' the tipplin' way With a love of the liquor poor Tim was born And to help him on with his work each day He'd a 'drop of the cray-thur' every morn. Whack fol the die do, dance to your partner Welt the floor, your trotters shake; Wasn't it the truth I told you Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! One mornin' Tim was rather full His head felt heavy which made him shake; He fell from the ladder and broke his skull And they carried him home his corpse to wake. They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet And laid him out upon the bed, With a gallon of whiskey at his feet And a barrel of porter at his head. Whack fol the die do, dance to your partner Welt the floor, your trotters shake; Wasn't it the truth I told you Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! His friends assembled at the wake And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch, First they brought in tea and cake Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch. Biddy O'Brien began to cry 'Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see? 'Tim, mavourneen, why did you die?' 'Arragh, hold your gob' said Paddy McGee! Whack fol the die do, dance to your partner Welt the floor, your trotters shake; Wasn't it the truth I told you Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job 'O Biddy,' says she, 'You're wrong, I'm sure' Biddy gave her a belt in the gob And left her sprawlin' on the floor. And then the war did soon engage 'Twas woman to woman and man to man, Shillelagh law was all the rage And the row and eruption soon began. Whack fol the die do, dance to your partner Welt the floor, your trotters shake; Wasn't it the truth I told you Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! Then Mickey Maloney raised his head When a noggin of whiskey flew at him, It missed, and fallin' on the bed The liquor scattered over Tim! Tim revives! See how he raises! Timothy rising from the bed, Says,'Whirl your whiskey around like blazes Thanum o'n Dhoul! Did you think I'm dead?' Whack fol the die do, dance to your partner Welt the floor, your trotters shake; Wasn't it the truth I told you Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! Whack fol the die do, dance to your partner Welt the floor, your trotters shake; Wasn't it the truth I told you Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!

SPANISH IS A LOVING TONGUE Spanish is the loving tongue Soft as music, light as spray 'Twas a girl I learned it from Living down Sonora way I don't look much like a lover Still I hear those love words over Mostly when I'm all alone! Mi amor, Mi corazon On the nights that I would ride She would listen for my spurs, Throw that big door open wide, Raise those laughing eyes of hers. Oh, how the hours would go a-flyin! All too soon I'd hear her sighin' In her sweet and quiet tone 'Mi amor, mi corazon.' But I had to fly one time All 'cause of a stupid gamblin' fight, And so we said a swift goodbye On that dark, unlucky night. How oftentimes to me she's clingin' And in my ears the hoofsbeats ringin', As I galloped north alone 'Adios, mi corazon.' Haven't seen her since that night, I can't cross the line, you know. She was Mex and I was white; Like as not it's better so. Still I've always kind of missed her Since that last wild night I kissed her; I broke her heart, lost my own 'Adios, mi corazon.'

BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN On a summer day In the month of May A burly bum came hiking Down a shady lane Through the sugar cane He was looking for his liking As he roamed along He sang a song Of the land of milk and honey Where a bum can stay For many a day And he won’t need any money Oh the buzzin’ of the bees the bubblegum trees soda water fountain the lemonade springs Where the bluebird sings On the big rock candy mountain There’s a lake of gin We can both jump in And the handouts grow on bushes In the new-mown hay We can sleep all day And the bars all have free lunches Where the mail train stops And there ain’t no cops And the folks are tender-hearted Where you never change your socks And you never throw rocks And your hair is never parted Oh the buzzin’ of the bees the bubblegum trees soda water fountain the lemonade springs Where the bluebird sings On the big rock candy mountain Oh the buzzin’ of the bees the bubblegum trees soda water fountain the lemonade springs Where the bluebird sings On the big rock candy mountain

Oh You, you've been a mean and evil woman Yeah you, you sure did treat me unkind Well, I'm gonna be your hard hearted daddy I'm gonna' make you lose your mind.

LOCH LOMOND By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes, Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond. Where me and my true love spent many happy days, On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Oh ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. 'Twas then that we parted in yon shady glen, On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond, Where in deep purple hue the Hieland hills we view, And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'. Oh ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring, And in sunshine the waters are sleeping; But the broken heart will ken nae second spring Tho' the waeful may cease frae their greeting. Oh ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Oh ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Oh ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

DANNY BOY Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so! And when ye come, and all the flow'rs are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an Ave there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
