Raleigh & Spencer
Traditional
Raleigh and Spencer are burning down
There ain't no more liquor in this town
I can eat more chicken than a pretty gal can fry
And I'll tell you more lowdown lies
I'll tell you more lowdown lies
Yes Ill tell you more lies than the stars in the sky
Ill never get to heaven when I die little girl
Ill never get to heaven when I die
I'll pawn you my shoes for a little bottle of booze
I'll drink it then I'll lay right down and die
I'm gonna drink it and I'll lay right down and die
Well, you can stomp down the flowers that grow around my grave
They'll rise and bloom again
Eli, the Barrow Boy
Colin Meloy (Osterozhna! Music, BMI)
Eli, the barrow boy
Of the old town
Sells coal and marigolds
And he cries out
All down the day
Below the tamaracks
He is crying:
Corn cobs and candle wax for the buying
Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread
But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove
And I must push my barrow all the day
When they found him
Dressed all in corduroy
He had drowned in
The river down the way
They laid his body down in a church yard
But still when the moon is out
With his push cart
He calls down the day
Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown
But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground
And still I push my barrow all the day
Still I push my barrow all the day
Cuckoo Bird
Gonna build me a log cabin
on a mountain so high,
So I can see the pretty bird
as she goes waltzing by.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird.
Lord, she warbles as she flies.
She'll cause you never more trouble
Till the fourth day of July.
Well I played cards in ol' England
And I gambled over in Spain,
And I'll bet you ten dollars
That I'll beat you this next game.
My horses they ain't hungry
And they won't eat your hay.
So I'll drive home a little further
Wondering why you treat me this way.
Well, there's one thing that's been a puzzle
Since the day that time began:
A man's love for, for his woman
And her sweet love for her man.
Train on the Island / Hunting the Buffalo
Train on the island, hear the whistle blow
Go and tell my own true love, I'm sick and I can't go
Train on the island, listen to her squeal
Go and tell my true love how happy I do feel
I went out o'er the mountain to hear that banjo ring,
I went out o'er the other side just to hear my darling sing
Train on the island, we're headed for the East
Me and my love, we done split up, and I ain't missing him in the least
Make me a banjo out of a gourd and string it up with twine
The only tune that it would play: "I wish that man were mine"
Still I miss my darling, he left me all alone
This old house is empty; silent as a stone.
Hear the sound a-faiding out, I mised my chance again
The train's already west of town and the blues are moving in
Train on the island, hear that whistle blow
Makes me want to pack my grip, hop that freight and go
Heaven to Me
Gailanne Amundsen (Dirty Feet Music, SESAC)
Heaven to me
Is freedom
Is the blessed shore I hope to reach
Is the light that I see
And will take these chains away from me
Is freedom...
Red Rocking Chair
Ain't got no use
For your red rocking chair
I ain't got no sugar baby now
I ain't got no sugar baby, honey baby now
So who'll rock the cradle
Who'll rock the cradle, who'll sing this song?
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone?
Well I laid him in the shade
Well I laid him in the shade, gave him every dime I made
What else can a poor girl do?
Ain't got no sugar baby, honey baby now
Ain't got no sugar baby now
What Will Baby Be
Dolly Parton (Velvet Apple Music, BMI)
A young couple marries, already fighting
Along comes baby making them three
Trouble's all he hears from the time he's in didies
Baby don't know what to believe
Angry words and spiteful actions
Baby's gonna cut his teeth on these
If that's gonna be the main attraction
What will the baby be, what will the baby be
Baby needs love and he needs direction
Baby's first school is the family
For they are only a reflection
Of the things they see, what will the baby be
What will the baby be after baby is grown
What will the baby do if baby don't know what's right or wrong
Got to show them love, and you've got to teach them truth
'Cause what baby is when baby grows up
Depends entirely on me and you
Baby thinks God is just a curse word
Never said a prayer 'cause he's never been taught
They remember and repeat what they've heard
So I ask who's really at fault
So many questions, so few answers
So many lessons we don't teach
Stumbling around like clumsy dancers
What will the baby do when baby is out there on his own
Teach the children how to be all they should be
Depends entirely on you and me
What will baby be
I Will Arise
I will arise and go to Jesus;
He will embrace me in his arms.
In the arms of my dear Savior,
Oh, there are ten thousand charms.
Come, thou font of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy praise.
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
So come ye sinners poor and needy,
Weed and wounded, sick and sore.
Jesus stands ready to greet you
Full of pity, love and power
Everything is Free
Gillian Welch & David Rawlings (Irving Music, BMI/Say Uncle Music, BMI/Cracklin' Music, BMI)
Everything is free now,
That's what they say.
Everything I ever done,
Gotta give it away.
Someone hit the big score.
They figured it out,
That we're gonna do it anyway,
Even if doesn't pay.
Or I can get a tip jar,
Gas up the car,
And try to make a little change
Down at the bar.
Or I can get a straight job,
I've done it before.
I never minded working hard,
It's who I'm working for.
Every day I wake up,
Hummin' a song.
But I don't need to run around,
I just stay at home.
Sing a little love song,
My love and myself.
If there's something that you want to hear,
You can sing it yourself.
'Cause everything is free now,
That what I say.
No one's got to listen to
These words in my head.
Someone hit the big score,
And I figured it out,
That I'm gonna do it anyway,
No Depression
A.P. Carter (APRS, BMI)
For fear the hearts of men are failing
These our latter days we know
The great depression now is spreading
God's word declared it would be so
I'm going where there's no depression
To the lovely land that's free from care
And I'll leave this world of toil and trouble
My home's in heaven, I'm going there
In that bright land there'll be no hunger
No orphaned children crying for bread
No weepin' widows, toil or struggle
No shrouds, no coffins and no death
In this dark hour of midnight nearing
The tribulation time will come
The storms will hurl in midnight fear
And sweep lost millions to their doom
Will You Sing Dixie?
Oh will you sing Dixie to me if I die
As a soldier Ill stand as a soldier Ill die
And if cruel fate should have me never return
Will you come to me and find where I lie
And sing Dixie to me if I die
Of course Ill sing Dixie for you if you die
But my heart will be broken Ill try to say goodbye
And if cruel fate should have you never return
Yes of course Ill come to you and Ill find where you lie
And sing Dixie to you if you die
Oh look away, oh look away, Dixieland
Look away, oh look away, Dixieland
Where I take my stand for Dixieland
Nothing is Free / Fish Dippa Dippa
Gailanne Amundsen / Roger Amundsen & Gailanne Amundsen (Dirty Feet Music, SESAC / Hang One Music, SESAC)
Nothing in this world is free but the chance and the mystery
Nothing in this world is mine but a love that was lost to me
Nothing in this world is free but reeling feeling no urgency
Nothing in this world is mine all we have is of another kind
Nothing in this world is free but the change and the misery
Nothing in this world is mine but a love that has passed me by
Rowing Song
Patty Griffin (One Big Love Music, ASCAP)
As I row, row, row
Going so slow, slow, slow
Just down below me is the old sea
Nobody knows, knows, knows
So many things, things, so
So out of range
Sometimes so strange
Sometimes so sweet
Sometimes so lonely
The further I go
More letters from home never arrive
And I'm alone
All of the way
Alone and alive
You just have to go, go, go
Where I don't know, know, know
This is the thing
Somebody told me
A long time ago
