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-a-tick-tick

Sing right along.

Come on and try his rhythm

And let your hearts beat with 'im1

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 shineAnd when the sun refuse (begins) to shineI want to be in that number


When the moon turns red with blood

When the moon turns red with blood



2

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,

3

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.

4

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 skyUna 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



6


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

7

There is just one moon and one golden sunAnd 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

9

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


Standing there in the marketplace


Soon I'll feel her warm embrace



In the shadow I stand a while


Soon I'll see my Liza's smile


[REFRAIN:]

14

Come back Liza, come back girl...






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 knowBut 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 knowAnd I can't tell you just how much I miss youHasta 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)I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze


(What a feeling)Over mountains and forests and seas


And I dream I'm an eagle

And I dream I can spread my wings


(I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze


(What a feeling)

26

Over mountains and forests and seas


(I'm an eagle)I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze


(What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas


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 beDo-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 breadThat 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.

[Maria and Children:]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!

[Maria and Children:]When you know the notes to sing


Doe, a deer, a female deer






Tea, a drink with jam and bread

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:]When you know the notes to sing


[Maria and Children:]Doe, a deer, a female deer

42






Tea, a drink with jam and breadThat will bring us back to

[Maria:][Children:]

Do . . . So Do

Re . . . La Fa

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.

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 warning50

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, joyfulWe 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 chorusWhich 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 waves59

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)

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.

I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead

No need to hide, from danger and fear


Reach Out your hand

And touch each other


70

We are the same

just different colorsWe 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




And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called 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!





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!





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 youYou 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 youYou and me in paradise (Another day in paradise, ooh)

Just think about it

Hmm-mmm

Think about it

80

It's just another dayFor you and me

In paradise

It's just another dayFor 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 billabongUnder 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 billabongUp 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 tucker-bag?




Who's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?

You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.

Up got the swaggie and jumped into the billabongYou'll never catch me alive said he

And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong

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:]We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all 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:]We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun 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 thingI'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

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.

Seasons will never change

The way that I love you.

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 sunAnd I said I didn't like the way he got things done

Sleepin' on the jobThose 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 meWhen 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 itFall 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]

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, moonshadow, 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, moonshadow, moonshadow

Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, 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!

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

60. AULD LANG SYNE

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]

63. LAVENDER BLUE

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

136

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,

137

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 joyHurrah! Hurrah!
