Kilgary mountains / irish traditionell

As I was a walking `round Kilgary mountain –

I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting

I rattled me pistols and drew forth me saber,

sayin stand and deliver for I am the bold deceiver

Refrain: musha, rigum da rumda, whack fal the daddy oh,

whack fal the daddy oh, there`s whiskey in the jar.

The shining golden coins did look so bright and jolly.

I took them with me home and I gave them to my Molly.

She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me,

but the devil`s in the women and they never can be easy. refrain

When I was awakened between six and seven,

the guards were all around me in numbers odd and even

I flew my pistols but alas I was mistaken,

for Molly`d drawn ma pistols and a prisoner I was taken. refrain

They put me in jail without judge or writing

for robbing Colonel Pepper on Kilgary Mountain,

But they didn`t take me fists, so I knocked the sentry down

and bid a fond farewell to the jail in Slaigo town. refrain ….

Now some take delight in fishin` and bowlin`

and others take delight in theit carriages a-rolling

but I take delight in the juice of the barley,

and courting pretty girls in the morning so early. refrain

KNOCKIN` ON HEAVEN`s DOOR / Bob Dylan

Mama, take this badge off of me

I can`t use it anymore.

It`s gettin` dark too dark for me to see

I feel like I`m knockin` on heaven`s door.

Knock, knock, knockin` on heaven`s door

Mama put my guns in the ground

I can`t shoot them anymore

that long black cloud is comin` down

I feel like I`m knockin` on heaven`s door.

Knock, knock, knockin` on heaven`s door

My lady d Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?

I´ll wake you tomorrow

and you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill.

My Lady dÀrbanville, why does it grieves me so?

But your heart seems so silent,

I loved you my Lady. Though in your grave you lie,

I`ll always be with you, This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

LADY MADONNA / BEATLES

Lady Madonna children at your feet

wonder how you manage to make ends meet.

Who finds the money when you pay the rent.

Did you think that money was heaven sent.

Friday night arrives without a suitcase, Sunday morning creep in like a nun

Monday`s child has learnd to tie his boot-lace. See how they run.

Lady Madonna, baby at your breast.

Wonder how you managed to feed the rest.

Lady Madonna, lying in your bed,

listen to the music playing in your head.

Tuesday afternoon is never ending, Wednesday morning papers didn`t come

Thursday night your stockings needed mending, see how they`ll run.

Lady Madonna children at your feet, wonder how you manage to make ends meet.

Leaving on a Jetplane / john denver

All my bags are packed, I`m ready to go – I`m standing here outside the door

I hate to wake you up to say good bye.

But the dawn is breaking, it`s early morn – the taxi`s waiting, he`s blowing his horn

Already I`m so lonesome I could die.

Refrain:

So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you wait for me

hold me like you`ll never let me go.

Cause I`m leavin on a jet plane, don`t know when I`ll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go.

There`s so many time I`ve let you down, so many time, I`ve played around

I tell you now, they don`t mean a thing.

Ev`ry place I go I`ll think of you, ev`ry song I sing I`ll sing for you.

When I come back, I`ll bring your wedding ring.

Refrain: ..........................

Now the time has come to leave you, one more time let me kiss you.

Then close your eyes, I`ll be on my way.

Dream about the days to come, when I won`t have to leave alone

About the times I won`t have to say:

Refrain: ..........................

Let it be / Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me

speaking words of wisdom, let it be,

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be

let it be let it be let it be let it be whisper words of wisdom let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree

there will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,

there will be an answer, let it be

let it be let it be let it be let it be there will be an answer, let it be

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines on me

shine until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be

let it be let it be let it be let it be whisper words of wisdom let it be

midnight special / paul campbell

Refrain:

Let the midnight special shine it`s light on me.

Let the midnight special shine it`s everlovin` light on me.

Well you wake up in the morning, hear the ding dong ring; you go marching to the table, see the same old thing.

Well, it`s another table, knife, a fork and a pan. If you say a thing about it, you`re in trouble with a man. Refrain: .............

If you ever go to Houston, you better walk on right, you better not stagger, and you better not fight.

Yonder come Doc Melton, tell me how do you know? He gave me a tablet just the day before.

There never was a doctor traveling over land, that could cure the fever of a convict man. Refrain: ................

Yonder comes Miss Rosy, tell me how do you know? I know her by her apron, and the dress that she wore,

umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand, she says to the captain, "I want my lifetime man !" Refrain: .....................

Moonlight shadow / Mike Oldfield

1. Last time ever she saw him carried away by a moonlight shadow.

He passed on worried and warning carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Lost in a riddle that saturday night far away on the other side.

He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight

and she couldn`t find how to push through.

2. The trees that whisper in the evening carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Sing a song of sorrow and grieving carried away by a moonlight shadow.

All she saw was a silhouette of a gun far away on the other side.

He was shot six time by a man on the run

and she couldn`t find how to push through.

Refrain: I stay, I pray, see you in heaven far away

I stay, I pray, see you in heaven one day

3. Four a.m. in the morning carried away by a moonlight shadow

I watch your vision forming carried away by a moonlight shadow

Stars move slowly in a silvery light far away on the other side

will you come to me to talk this night

but she couldn`t find how to push through. Refrain:

4. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm carried away by a moonlight shadow

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm carried away by a moonlight shadow

caught in the middle of a hundred and five mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The night was heavy and the air was alive

but she couldn`t find how to push through. Refrain:

Morning of my life / Barry A. Gibb

1. In the morning when the moon is out to trust

you will see me at the time I love the best

watching rainbows play on sunlight pools of water icestream cold nights

in the morning - `tis the morning of my life.

2. In the daytime I will meet you as before

you will find me waiting by the ocean floor

building castles in the shifting sands in a world that no one understands

in the morning - `tis the morning of my life.

3. In the evening I will climb up to the moon

to the topright hand corner of the ceiling in my room

where we`ll stay until the sun shines another day to swing on clothes lines

may I be yawning - `tis the morning of my life

end: In the morning of my life - the minutes take so long to drift away

Please be patient with your life - it`s only morning and you`ve still to live your day.

Mr. tambourine man / bob dylan

Refrain:

Hey! Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me,

I`m not sleepy and there is no place I`m going to.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me,

in the jingle jangle mornin` I`ll come following you.

Though I know that evenin`s empire has returned into sand,

vanished from my hand,

left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping!

My weariness amazes me I`m branded on my feet.

I have no one to meet. And the ancient empty street`s too dead for dreamin`. Refrain:

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin ship,

my senses have been stripped, my hands can`t feel to grip.

My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels to be wandering.

I`m ready to go anywhere, I`m ready for to fade - into my own parade,

cast your dancing spell my way - I promise to go under it. Refrain:

Though you might hear laughin` spinnin` swingin` madly across the sun

it`s not aimed anyone, it`s just escapin` on the run.

And but for the sky there are no fences facin`

and if you hear vague traces of skippin` reels of rhyme

to your tambourine in time, it`s just a ragged clown behind,

I wouldn`t pay it any mind

it`s just a shadow you`re seein` that he`s chasin`. Refrain:

Then take me disappearin`through the smoke rings of my mind

down the foggy ruins of time, far par the frozen leaves -

the haunted, frightened trees out to the windy beach

far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow –

yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand wavin` free –

silhouetted by the sea,

circled by the circus sands

with all memory and fate

driven deep beneath the waves.

Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Refrain:

MRS. ROBINSON / SIMON & GARFUNKEL

Deet dee dee deet deet dee deet deet dee dee deet …….

Chorus:

And here`s to you Mrs. Robinson,

Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)

God bless you please Mrs. Robinson,

Heaven holds a place for those who pray. Hey, hey, hey----- hey, hey, hey

We`d like to know a little bit about you for our files.

We`d like to help you learn to help yourself.

Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes.

Stroll around the ground until you feel at home.

Chorus:

And here`s to you Mrs. Robinson,

Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)

God bless you please Mrs. Robinson,

Heaven holds a place for those who pray. Hey, hey, hey----- hey, hey, hey

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes,

put it in your pantry with your cupcakes,

it`s a little secret, just the Robinson`s affair,

most of all you`ve got to hide it from the kids.

Chorus:

Coo coo cachoo Mrs. Robinson,

Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)

God bless you please Mrs. Robinson,

Heaven holds a place for those who pray. Hey, hey, hey---- hey, hey, hey

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon,

going to the candidates` debate

Laugh about it, shout about it, when you`ve got to choose –

every way you look at it you lose.

Chorus:

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you, woo woo woo

What`s that you say, Mrs. Robinson,

Jolting Joe has left and gone away, Hey, hey, hey----- hey, hey, hey

My Hometown / Bruce Springsteen

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand

into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man

I`d sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town

he`d tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown

this is your hometown, this is your hometown, this is your hometown.

In `65 tension was running high at my highschool

there was a lot of fights between the black and white there was nothing you could do

two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun

words were past in a shot gun blast troubled times had come, to my hometown

my hometown, my hometown, my hometown.

Now mainstreet`s whitewashed windows and vacant stores

seems like there ain`t nobody wants to come down here no more

they`re closing down the textile mill across the railroads tracks

foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain`t coming back to your hometown

your hometown, your hometown, your hometown.

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out

packing up our bags maybe heading south

I`m 35, we got a boy of our own now, last night I sat him up, behind the wheel and said son take a good look around, this is your hometown.

MY SWEET LORD / GEORGE HARRISON

My sweet Lord um my Lord um my Lord

I really want to see you. Really want to see you. Really want to see you Lord.

Really want to see you Lord. But it takes so long my Lord. My sweet Lord, um my Lord.

NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN

1. Nights in white Satin never reaching the end

Letters I`ve written never meaning to send

Beauty I`d always missed with these eyes before

Just wath the truth is I can`t say anymore.

`cause I love you. Yes I love you, oh how I love you

2. Gazing at people some hand in hand

just what I`m going through they can`t understand.

Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend

just what you want to be you`ll be in the end.

And I love you. Yes I love you, oh how I love you

Norwegian Wood / Beatles

I once had a girl or should I say she once had me;

She showed me her room isn`t it good, Norwegian Wood?

She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere.

So I looked around and I noticed there wasn`t a chair.

I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine;

We talked until two and then she said, "it`s time for bed".

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.

I told her I didn`t and crawled off to sleep in the bath.

And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird has flown;

So I lit a fire, isn`t it good, Norwegian Wood?

OUT ON THE WEEKEND / NEIL YOUNG

Think I`ll pack in in and buy a pick-up. Take it down to L.A.

Find a place to call my own and try to fix up. Start a brand new day.

The woman I`m thinking of she loved me all up. But I`m so down today.

She`s so fine she`s in my mind. I hear her callin`.

See the lonely boy out on the weekend. Trying to make it pay.

Can`t relate to joy, he tries to speak and can`t begin to say.

She got pictures on the wall - they make me look up. From her big brass bed.

Now I`m running down the road trying to stay up. Somewhere in her head.

The woman I`m thinking of she loved me all up. But I`m so down today.

She`s so fine she`s in my mind. I hear her callin`.

See the lonely boy out on the weekend. Trying to make it pay.

Can`t relate to joy, he tries to speak and can`t begin to say.

Peggy Sue

If you knew Peggy Sue, then you know why I feel blue

well I love you gal, yes I love you Peggy Sue.

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, pretty pretty pretty pretty Peggy Sue,

I love you Peggy Sue, with a love so rare and true,

oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue;

well I love you gal, yes I want you Peggy Sue.

proud mary / C. C. R.

1. Left a good job in the city, working for the man ev`ry night and day

and I never lost one minute of sleeping, worrin` `bout the things that might have been.

Big wheel keep on turnin` Proud Mary keep on burnin`

rollin` rollin` rollin` on the river.

RUBY TUESDAY / ROLLING STONES

She would never say, where she came from.

Yesterday don`t matter, if it`s gone.

While the sun is bright or in the darkest night

no one knows - she comes and goes.

Refrain:

Good bye Ruby Tuesday,

who could hang a name on you?

When you change with ev`ry new day.

Still I`m gonna miss you.

Don`t question while she needs to be so free.

She`ll tell you it`s the only way to be.

She just can`t be chained to a life where nothing`s gained,

and nothing`s lost, as such a cost. Refrain:

"There`s no time to loose", I heard her say.

Cash your dreams before they slip away.

Dying all the time lose your dreams and you

will lose your mind, ain`t life unkind. Refrain:

Run for your life / Beatles

I`d rather see you dead little girl than to be with another man.

You`d better keep your head little girl or I won`t know where I am.

You`d better run for your life if you can little girl,

hide your head in the sand, little girl.

Catch you with another man, that`s the end ah, little girl!

Well you know that I`m a wicked guy and I was born with a jealous mind.

And I can spent my whole life tryin` just to make you toe the line

You`d better run for your life if you can little girl,

hide your head in the sand, little girl.

Catch you with another man, that`s the end ah, little girl!

Let this be a sermon I mean ev`rything I said.

Baby I`m determined and I`d rather see you dead.

You`d better run for your life if you can little girl,

hide your head in the sand, little girl.

Catch you with another man, that`s the end ah, little girl!

without any seam or fine needlework, and then she`ll be a true love of mine

Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well - parsly, sage, rosemarie and thyme

Sloop "John B."

We come on the Sloop John B., my grandfather and me, around Nassau Town we did roam

drinking all night, got into a fight, well I fell so broke up, I wanna go home.

Refrain:

So hoist up the John B. sail, see how the main sail sets, call for the captain ashore, let me go home.

Let me go home, I wanna go home, yeah - yeah, well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home.

Firstmate he got a drunk, and broke in the captains trunk, the constable had to come and take him away

Sheriff John Stone, why don`t you leave me alone? Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home. Refrain: .............

Poor cook he caught the fits, threw `way all my grits, and then he took and he ate up all of my corn;

let me go home, why don`t you let me go home? This is the worst trip, I`ve ever been on. Refrain: ................

Sound of Silence / Simon & Garfunkel

Hello darkness my old friend, I`ve come to talk to you again,

because a vision softly creeping left it`s 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 a halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the old and damp

and my eyes were stabbed by a 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.

People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening,

people writing songs that voices never share

and no one dare - 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 written on the subway walls and tenement halls" and whispered in the sound of silence.

STRAWBERRY FIELDS / BEATLES

Refrain:

Let me take you down `cause I`m goin`to strawberry fields.

Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about strawberry fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed. Misunderstanding all you see.

It`s getting hard to be someone but it all works out. It doesn`t matter much to me.

Refrain:

No one think is in my tree. I mean it must be high or low.

That is you know you can`t tune in but it`s all right that is I think it`s not too bad.

Refrain:

Always know, sometimes think it`s me. But you know and I know and it`s a dream.

I think I know of thee, ah, yes but it`s all wrong that is I think I disagree.

Refrain:

Streets of London / ralph mc tell

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market kicking in the paper with his worn out shoes?

In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely by his side yesterday`s paper telling yesterday`s news.

Refrain:

So how can you tell me you`re lonely and say for you that the sun don`t shine?

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,

I`ll tell you something to make you change your mind.

Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London, dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?

She`s no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking, carrying her home in two carrier bags. Refrain: ..........

In the all night cafe at quarter past eleven, same old man sitting there on his own.

Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup, each tea last an hour and he wanders home alone. Refrain: ............

Have you seen the old man outside the seaman`s mission, memory fading with the ribbons that he wears?

In our winter city the rain cries a little pity for one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn`t care. Refrain: .................

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN / GRAHAM NASH

y ou who where on the road must have a code that you can live by

and so become yourself because the past is just a good bye.

teach your children well their father`s hell did slowly go by,

and feed them with your dreams the one they picks the one you`ll know by.

don`t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,

so just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

and you of tender years, can`t know the fears that your elders grew by

so please help them with your youth they seek the truth before they can die.

teach your parents well, their childrens hell will slowly go by

and feed them on your dreams the one they picks, the one you`ll know by.

don`t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,

so just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

Tell me why / Neil Young

Sailing heart ships through broken harbors out on the waves in the night

Still the searchers must ride the dark horse racing alone in his fright

Refrain:

Tell me why tell me why

is it hard to make arrangements with yourself

when you`re old enough to repay but young enough to sell ?

Tell me lies later, come and see me, I`ll be around for a while,

I am lonely but you can free me, all in the way that you smile.

Refrain:

There but for fortune / phil ochs

Show me a prison, show me a jail,

show me a prisonman, who`s face is growing pale,

and I`ll show you a young man with many reasons why

and there but for fortune may go you or I.

Show me an alley, show me a train,

show me a hobo, who sleeps out in the rain,

and I`ll show you a young man with many reasons why

and there but for fortune may go you or I.

Show me the whiskey, that stains on the floor,

show me a drunken man as he stumbles out the door,

and I`ll show you a young man with many reasons why

and there but for fortune may go you or I.

Show me a country, where the bombs had to fall,

show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall,

and I`ll show you a young land with many reasons why

and there but for fortune may go you or I, you or I.

universal soldier / donovan

He is five feet two and he`s six feet four,

he fights with missles and with speers

he`s all of thirty one and he`s only seventeen,

he’s been a soldier for a thousend years.

He`s a Catholic a Hindu, an atheist, a Chein,

a Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew

and he knows he shouldn`t kill and he knows he always will,

care for me my friend and I will care for you.

And he`s fighting for Canada, he`s fighting for France,

he`s fighting for the U.S.A.

and he`s fighting for the Russians, he`s fighting for Japan

and he thinks we put and end to war this way.

And he`s fighting for democracy, he`s fighting for the Reds,

he says it`s for the peace of all

he`s the one who must decide, who`s to live and who`s to die

and he never sees the writing on the wall.

And without him, how would Hitler kill the people at Dachau,

without him Ceasar would have stood alone,

he`s the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war

and without him always killing can`t go on

He`s the Univesal Soldier, and he really is to blame,

his orders came from far away no more;

they came from here and there, and you and me

ain`t brother can`t you see, this is not the way we put an end to war !

WHEN I´M SIXTY - FOUR / Beatles

When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now

Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

If I`d been out till quarter to three, would you lock the door?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I`m sixty-four?

Zw.: Hmmm..(summen)...

...You`ll be older too. Ah, and if you say the word, I could stay with you.

I could be handy mending a fuse when your lights have gone

you can knit a sweater by the fireside, sunday morning go for a ride.

Doing the garden, digging the weeds; who could ask for more?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I`m sixty-four?

Zw.:

Ev`ry summer we can rent a cottage on the Isle of Wight

if it`s not too dear. We shall scrimp and save.

Grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck and Dave.

Send me a postcard drop me a line stating point of view.

Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away.

Give me an answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I`m sixty-four?

WHO`LL STOP THE RAIN / C.C.R

Long as I remember, the rain been coming down.

Clouds of myst`ry pouring, confusion on the ground.

Good man through the ages, trying to find the sun;

And I wonder, still I wonder, who`ll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia, seeking shelter from the storm.

Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.

Five years plan the new deals, wrapped in golden chains;

And I wonder, still I wonder, who`ll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playing, how we cheered for more.

The crowd had rushed together, tryin` to keep warm.

Still the rain kept pouring, falling on my ears;

And I wonder, still I wonder, who`ll stop the rain.

WILD ROVER / irisch traditionell

i`ve been a wild rover for many a year

and i`ve spent all my money on whiskey and beer

but now i`m returning with gold in great store

and i never will play the wild rover no more.

refrain and it`s no! nay! never.....no, nay, never no more

will i play the wild rover....no never, no more!!

i brought up from me pocket ten sovereigns bright

and the landlady`s eyes poened wide with delight.

she said i have whiskeys and wines of the best

and the words that you told me were only in jest. refrain

i`ll go home to my parents confess what i`ve done

and i ask them to pardon their prodigal son.

and when they`ve caressed me as oft times before

i never will play the wild rover no more. refrain

WIND OF CHANGE / Scorpions

1. I follow the Moskwa down to Gorki Park

listening to the wind of change

August summer night, soldiers passing by listening to the wind of change

2. The world is closing in, did you ever think

that we could be so close like brothers

the futures in the air, can feel it everywhere I`m blowing with the wind of change
