When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree. Dont put your faith in love, my boy, my father said to me I fear youll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree. Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree The music of her laughter hid my fathers words from me: Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat One day she left without a word. She took away the sun And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done Shed left me for another, its a common tale but true A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you: Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat

In the early morning rain With a dollar in my hand And an aching in my heart And my pockets full of sand Im a long way from home And I missed my loved one so In the early morning rain With no place to go Out on runway number nine Big 707 set to go But Im out here on the grass Where the pavement never grows Well, the liquor tasted good And the women all were fast There she goes my friend Shes rolling down at last Hear the mighty engine roar See the silver wing on high Shes away and westward bound Far above the clouds shell fly Where the morning rain dont fall And the sun always shines Shell be flying over my home In about three hours time This old airports got me down Its no earthly good to me Cause Im stuck here on the ground Cold and drunk as I might be You cant jump a jet plane Like you can a freight train So Id best be on my way In the early morning rain So Id best be on my way In the early morning rain

Light one candle for the Maccabee children Give thanks that their light didnt die! Light one candle for the pain they endured When their right to exist was denied! Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice Justice and freedom demand! And light one candle for the wisdom to know When the peacemakers time is at hand! Chorus: Dont let the light go out! Its lasted for so many years! Dont let the light go out! Let it shine through our love and our tears. Light one candle for the strength we all need To never become our own foe! And light one candle for those who are suffring Pain we learned so long ago! Light one candle for all we believe in Let anger not tear us apart! And light one candle to bind us together With peace as the song in our heart! What is the memory thats valued so highly That we keep it alive in that flame? Whats the commitment to those who have died When we cry out theyve not died in vain We have come this far, always believing That justice will somehow prevail! This is the burning. This is the promise This why we will not fail! Dont let the light go out! Dont let the light go out! Dont let the light go out!

I have a song to sing, O! It is sung to the moon by a love-lorn loon Who fled from the mocking throng-o Its the song of a merry man moping mum Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb As he sighed for the love of a lady Refrain: Hey-di, hey-di, misery me, lack-a-day-de He sipped no sup and he craved no crumb As he sighed for the love of a lady I have a song to sing, O! It is sung with the ring of the songs maids sing Who loved with a love life-long-o Its a song of a merry maid peerly proud Who loved a lord and who laughed aloud At the moan of the merry man moping mum Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb As he sighed for the love of a lady I have a song to sing,O! It is sung to the knell of a church-yard bell And a doleful dirge ding-dong o Its a song of a popinjay bravely born Who turned up his noble nose with scorn At the humble merry maid peerly proud Who loved a lord and who laughed aloud At the moan of a merry man moping mum Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb As he sighed for the love of a lady I have a song to sing, O! I have a song to sing-o! It is sung with a sigh and a tear in the eye for it tells of a righted wrong-o Its a song of the merry maid once so gay Who turned on her heel and tripped away From the peacock popinjay bravely born Who turned up his noble nose with scorn At the humble heart that he did not prize So she begged on her knees with downcast eyes For the love of the merry man moping mum Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb As he sighed for the love of a lady Hey-di, hey-di, misery me, lack-a-day-de His pains were oer and he sighed no more For he lived in the love of a lady Hey-di, hey-di, his pains were oer And he sighed no more For he lived in the love of a lady

Truth, with all its far out schemes Lets time decide what it should mean; Its not the time but just the dreams that die And sometimes when the room is still Time with so much truth to kill Leaves you by the window sill so tied Without a wing, to take you high Without a clue to tell you why Now, I just want to keep my name, not bother anybodys game Without ideas of gold or fame or insane heights I dont want a lot of money, I dont want a Playboy Bunny Just a love to call me honey late at night In my arms, by my side, in my arms late at night Chorus: But I dont know, I aint been told Evrybody wants a hand to hold Theyre so afraid of being old So scared of dying, so unknown And so alone, rollin home Well, I see the ones who crawl like moles Who for a front would trade their souls A broken mirrors the only hole for them; And for you whod exchange yourselves Just to be somebody else Pretending things you never felt or meant; Hey, you dont live what you defend You cant give so you just bend Now if you care what people think Like they supplied some missing link; Theyll just stand back and watch you sink so slow Theyll never help you to decide Theyll only take you for a ride After which theyll try and hide the fact that they dont know What you should do, where you should go What you should do, where you should go Theres nothing big I want to prove No mountains that I need to move Or even claim whats right or true for you My sights, my songs are slightly charred You might think they miss their mark But things are only what they are and nothing new But for me, I think theyll do But for me, I think theyll do Well, I can see a king and queen, a beggar falling at my feet; They all must see the same sad dreams at night; Futility and senseless war, pit the rich against the poor While cause is buried long before the fight For what was wrong, for what was right Its just the strong, who ever says whats right

Wed like to sing a childrens song for you now, thats unique. Its the only childrens song that weve ever encountered that contains all three of the basic elements of every single childrens song. The first element is simplicity, so that the child can understand the song. The second element is pathos, to prepare the child for later traumatic experiences ... . And the third element is repetition, to give the child a false sense of security I had a dog and his name was Blue I had a dog and his name was Blue I had a dog and his name was Blue I betcha five dollars hes a good dog, too Singin here, ol Blue, youre a good dog, you! Ol Blue come when I blow my horn Ol Blue come when I blow my horn A Blue come a runnin through the yella corn A Blue come a runnin when I blow my horn Singin here, ol Blue, youre a good dog, you! What if this song were to be changed? Modified by an unscrupulous modifier of folks songs, whose business it is to make this type of song palatable for the teenage, deliquent, mother-my-dog instinct. And then it would be a rock and roll song. OH, NASTY, UNSCRUPULOUS MODIFIER!!! Now it would sound something...like this: Hup two three four five six hey! Well I got a dog and is name is Blue I betcha five dollars hes a good dog, too Oh, Oh, oooo, yow! Bow wow bow wow bow wow, ooooo Well Blue... Why did you leave me sweetheart? Blue ... you promised to write And I ... I sit I sit ... I sit alone at night now Sifting sand through my fingers Come back Blue, I, I, I I want you I, I, I I need you .... And Im Going To Have You!!! Here, Blue!!!

One night as I lay on my pillow Moonlight as bright as the dawn I saw a man come a walking He had a long chain on I heard his chains a clankin They made a mournful sound Welded around his body Draggin along the ground Chorus: He had a long chain on He had a long chain on He had a long chain on He stood beside my window He looked at me and he said I am so tired and hungry Give me a bite of your bread He didnt look like a robber He didnt look like a thief His voice was as soft as the moonlight A face full of sorrow and grief I went into my kitchen Fetched him a bowl full of meat A drink and a pan of cold biscuits Thats what I gave him to eat Though he was tired and hungry A bright light came over his face He bowed his head in the moonlight He said a beautiful grace I got my hammer and chisel Offered to set him free He looked at me and said softly I guess we had best let it be. When he had finished his supper He thanked me again and again Though its been years since Ive seen him Still hear him draggin his chain

The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the empty skies my love To the dark and the empty skies The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command my love That was there at my command The first time ever I held you near And felt your heartbeat close to mine I thought our joy would fill the world And would last till the end of time my love And would last till the end of time

Theres a sunny little country south of Mexico Where the winds are gentle and the waters flow But breezes arent the only things that blow In El Salvador If you took the little lady for a moonlight drive Odds are still good youd come back alive But everyone is innocent until they arrive In El Salvador If the rebels take a bus on the grand highway The government destroys a village miles away The man on the radio says now well play South of the Border And in the morning the natives say Were happy you have lived another day Last night a thousand more passed away In El Salvador Theres a television crew here from ABC Filming Rio Lempe and the refugees Calling murdered children the tragedy Of El Salvador Before the government cameras 20 feet away Another man is asking for continued aid Food and medicine and hand grenades For El Salvador Theres a thump, a rumble, and the buildings sway A soldier fires the acid spray The public address system starts to play South of the Border You run for cover and hide your eyes You hear the screams from paradise Theyve fallen further than you realize In El Salvador Just like Poland is protected by her Russian friends The junta is assisted by Americans And if 60 million dollars seems too much to spend In El Salvador They say for half a billion they could do it right Bomb all day, burn all night Until theres not a living thing upright In El Salvador Theyll continue training troops in the USA And watch the nuns that got away And teach the military bands to play South of the Border And kill the people to set them free Who put this price on their liberty? Dont you think its time to leave El Salvador?

I wonder, as I wander out under the sky How jesus the saviour had come for to die For poor ornry creatures like you and like i I wonder as I wander out under the sky When mary birthed jesus, twas in a cows stall With wisemen and shepherds and farmers and all And high in the heavens a stars light did fall twas the promise of the ages, it then did recall If jesus had wanted for any wee thing Like a star in the sky, or a bird on the wing Or all of gods angels in heavn for to sing Well, he surely could have had them, for he was their king I wonder as I wander out under the sky How jesus the saviour had come for to die For poor ornry creatures like you and like i I wonder as I wander, out under the sky

And it came to pass on a Christmas evening When all the doors were shuttered tight Outside standing, a lonely boy-child Cold and shivering in the night On the street every window Save but one was gleaming bright; And to this window walked the boy-child Peeking in saw candlelight Through other windows he had looked at turkeys Ducks, and geese, and cherry pies; But through this window saw a gray-haired lady Table bare and tears in her eyes Into his coat reached the boy-child Knowing well there was little there He took from his pocket his own Christmas dinner A bit of cheese and some bread to share His outstretched hands held the food and they trembled As the door it opened wide Said he Would you share with me Christmas dinner? Said she gently, Come inside. The gray-haired lady brought forth to the table Glasses two, last drops of wine Said she Heres a toast to everyones Christmas And especially yours and mine! And it came to pass on that Christmas evening Whene all the doors were shuttered tight That in that town the happiest Christmas Was shared by candlelight

When I was just a wee little lad Full of health and joy My father homeward came one night And gave to me a toy A wonder to behold it was With many colors bright And the moment I laid eyes on it It became my hearts delight It went Zip when it moved And Bop when it stopped And Whirrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons That looked like big green eyes I first pushed one and then the other Then I twisted its lid And when I set it down again Here is what it did It went Zip when it moved And Bop when it stopped And Whirrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will It first marched left and then marched right Then marched under a chair And when I looked where it had gone It wasnt even there I started to cry, but my daddy laughed Cause he knew that I would find When I turned around my marvelous toy Would be chugging from behind Zip when it moved And Bop when it stopped And Whirrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will Whirr, whirr, whirr The years have gone by too quickly it seems I have my own little boy And yesterday I gave to him My marvelous little toy His eyes nearly popped right out of his head And he gave a squeal of glee Neither one of us knows just what it is But he loves it just like me It still goes Zip when it moves And Bop when it stops And Whirrr when it standsstill I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will

You have asked me why the days fly by so quickly And why each one feels no different from the last And you say that you are fearful for the future And you have grown suspicious of the past And you wonder if the dreams we shared together Have abandoned us or we abandoned them And you cast about and try to find new meaning So that you can feel that closeness once again Carry on my sweet survivor, carry on my lonely friend Dont give up on the dream, and dont you let it end Carry on my sweet survivor Though you know that somethings gone For everything that matters carry on You remember when you felt each person mattered When we all had to care or all was lost But now you see believers turn to cynics And you wonder was the struggle worth the cost Then you see someone too young to know the difference And a veil of isolation in their eyes And inside you know youve got to leave them something Or the hope for something better slowly dies Carry on my sweet survivor, carry on my lonely friend Dont give up on the dream, and dont you let it end Carry on my sweet survivor, youve carried it so long So it may come again, carry on Carry on, carry on

Ah then tell me Sean OFarrell Tell me why you hurry so Hush my boy now hush and listen And his eyes were all aglow I bear orders from the captain Get ye ready quick and soon For the pikes must be together At the rising of the moon Ah then tell me Sean OFarrell Where the gathrin is to be In the old spot by the river Right well known to you and me One word more, a signal token Whistle of the marchin tune With your pike upon your shoulder At the rising of the moon There beside that singing river That dark mass of men was seen Far above their shining weapons Hung their own immortal green Death to every foe and traitor! Forward strike the marchin tune And hurrah, my boys, for freedom! Tis the rising of the moon How well they fought for poor old Ireland And full bitter, was their fate Oh what glorious pride and sorrow Fills the name of 98 Yet thank God while hearts are beating Each man bears a burning wound We will follow in their footsteps At the rising of the moon

Run down church Red clay River covered In a smoky haze Sunday morning The fire is out Sunday morning No one about The earth is soft This time of year Boots get caked From there to here Down the road Route 25 They found this boy He was barely alive Jesus is on the wire So far away, higher and higher Jesus is on the wire They took him down Off the fence Cold as ice Almost dead They said that he That he slept with guys They said that he Deserved to die Jesus is on the wire So far away, higher and higher Jesus is on the wire

Come gather round people where ever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon youll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin Then you better start swimmin or youll sink like a stone For the times they are a changin! Come writers and critics who prophesy with your pen And keep your eyes wide the chance wont come again And dont speak too soon for the wheels still in spin And theres no tellin who that its namin For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a changin! Come senators, congressmen please heed the call Dont stand in the doorway dont block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled Theres a battle outside and its ragin Itll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a changin! Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And dont criticize what you cant understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin Please get out of the new one if you cant lend your hand For the times they are a changin! The line it is drawn the curse it is cast The slow one now will later be fast As the present now will later be past The order is rapidly fadin And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a changin!
