Oh the way she wears the ribbons in her hair
faldara doriddle oh doray
the way she wears the ribbons in her hair
she wears them just as though she doesn't even care
faldara doriddle oh doray oh doray
The way she looks into my eyes
faldara doriddle oh doray
the way she looks into my eyes
she looks and I know that she would never tell a lie
faldara doriddle oh doray oh doray
If there's one thing that I know for sure
faldara doriddle oh doray
The girls are sweet on every shore
but not as sweet as my love dear
faldara doriddle oh doray oh doray
And if we should meet ten years from now
faldara doriddle oh doray
I wager you would never see me frowning
with me ten wee babies crawling all around the ground
faldara doriddle oh doray oh doray,
faldara doriddle oh doray

Told You Twice
03:02
|

If I were a little bird,
I'd sing the prettiest song you ever heard
You never would believe the tears I cry
I told you once, I told you twice
Told you chicken soup with rice
I love you til I lay me down to die
I never could believe the tricks up your sleeve
I never could believe the reason why
I told you once, I told you twice
Told you chicken soup with rice
I love you til I lay me down to die
I though I was out of luck
I had one foot in the stirrup
Now it's plain to see I'm hanging on behind
I told you once, I told you twice
Told you chicken soup with rice
I love you til I lay me down to die
I said "kitty, kitty" instead of "scat" to the cat
Now I don't want any more of that
Cause all I hear is souie to the hog
I told you once, I told you twice
Told you chicken soup with rice
and now I have to sleep in a hollow log
I cried a million tears, imbibed a million beers
Just a-rusting up the workings of my engine's finer gears
I'm a buck-wild mule in a bob-wire fence
I never could give you up for lent
I love you til I lay me down to die.

If I Had A Dollar

If I had a dollar, baby, I would take you all around the town
If I had a dollar baby I would turn this barrel house upside down
I'd wrap my arms around you like the circle 'round the sun
I wanna love you mama like your easy rider done
If I only had a dollar, baby, I would take you all around the town
If I had a dollar, baby, I would take you all around the town
I'd take you on down to Smokey Joe's, that's where I would sit you down
I'd get you a cup of coffee and a biscuit, too
Apple pie in autumn and peaches in June
If I only had a dollar, baby, I would take you all around the town
If I had a dollar, baby, I would take you all around the town
I would take you on down to Coney Island, let that Ferris wheel spin you all the way around
Cotton candy and soda pop
Til that dollar's gone ain't no reason to stop
But if I only had a dollar, baby, I would take you all around the town
I hear you got tamales and they're red hot, I hear that you got them for sale
They're two for a nickle, four for a dime oh yeah, you got them for sale
I met you on Monday, treat me real nice
Along come Sunday you're as cold as ice
But if I'd only had me a dollar baby, I would take you all around the town
If I had a dollar, baby, I would take you all around the town
If I had a dollar, baby, I would turn that barrel house right upside down,
If I only had had a dollar, baby, I would take you all around the town

Please don't let me take your heart away
I can't guarantee that I will treat it okay
On the day that I met you I was feeling so blue
You said you'd love me true so long as I could love you, too
Every time I look into your shining eyes
I know I should not have ever lied
So before the circumstance turns to hell from sweet romance I'll ask
please don't let me take your heart away,
please don't let me take your heart away.

No Tycoon

I didn't have to be a tycoon
Diamond rings don't mean a thing to you
You said just to be kind and share with you my mind
and then all our love would be true, would be true
and then all our love would be true
I turned my back on your love
Yes, I turned my back on your love
I opened up my eyes and then to my surprise
There's blood on your wing my turtledove, turtledove
there's blood on your wing my turtledove
Tell all of my friends that I gone home
Tell my sweetheart not to mourn
I'm back in the sand and my pony won't stand
and I'm hard out of luck once again, once again
and I'm hard out of luck once again
So farewell oh world farewell
Don't play for me no funeral bells
For I've run my run and I've had a little too much fun
and I've changed my address to the bottom of a well
you can find me at the bottom of a well

I'm Going Away

I'm going away, babe, and I'm going to stay
You spent my money, got no time for me
I'm going away babe, and I'm going to stay
Never give me no loving
That's why I'm going away
You called me honey
You spent my money
Now you think that's funny
That's why I'm going away
You said you loved me true, babe, I believed in you
I'm broken-hearted over the way you do
You said you loved me, babe, no other one but me
Never give me no loving
That's why I'm going away
You called me honey
You spent my money
Now you think that's funny
That's why I'm going away
Ain't gonna be no sunshine, gonna always be rain
You're gonna want me to come back again
Never be no sunshine, it's gonna always be rain
Never give me no loving
That's why I'm going away
You called me honey
You spent my money
Now you think that's funny
That's why I'm going away

Pinery Boy
03:45
|
|||
|
A raftsman's life is a wearisome one
it causes many fair maids to weep and moan
it causes them to weep and mourn
for the loss of their true love that never can return
oh father, father, build me a boat
that down the river I may float
and every raft that I pass by
there I will inquire for my sweet pinery boy
as she was sailing on the stream
she spied three ships all in a string
she hailed the pilot as they passed nigh
there she did inquire for her sweet pinery boy
oh pilot, pilot tell me true
is my sweet William among your crew?
Oh tell me quick and give me joy
for none other will I have but my sweet pinery boy
Oh, auburn was the color of his hair
his eyes were blue and his cheeks were fair
his lips were of some ruby fine
and many thousand times have they met with mine
Oh, honored lady he is not here
he's drownded in the dells, I fear
twas at Lone Rock as we passed by
that is where we left your sweet pinery boy
she wrung her hands, she tore her hair
this lady was in great despair
she rowed her boat against lone rock
and that is where our dear lady's heart was broke
oh build me a grave both long and deep
and place a marble at my feet
and on my breast a turtle dove
to let the world know that I died for love

Gold In My Pockets
02:15
|

|
There's a hat on my head, gold in my pockets
and a wind up on high for to take you away
I went to the king, I went to the beggar
saying how in the world I'm gonna see you again
Well close your eyes and be satisfied
The wind's in the trees and the sun's in the sky
I sold me my watch and I sold me my chain
don't know where you gone, it'll drive me insane
Doctor, oh doctor wont you please tell me why
did she pack up her bags and take to the sky?
Well close your eyes and be satisfied
The wind's in the trees and the sun's in the sky
There's a hat on my head, gold in my pockets
and a wind up on high for to take you away

Swing Low
03:48

Well I filled my bathtub up with gasoline
Coming for to carry me home
Cause now's about the time that I should probably leave
Coming for to carry me home
Well I found the rafter I'm gonna hang my neck from
Coming for to carry me home
Hey, Mama don't you be sad when I'm dead and gone
Coming for to carry me home
Well I drank that bottle til it drank me up
Coming for to carry me home
Lay me in the lilies, think I've had enough
Coming for to carry me home
Well I went to the river and it took me down
Coming for to carry me home
and I knew that peace I had found
Coming for to carry me home
