THE AMERICAN RAILROAD In 1800 and 91, the American railroad just begun, The American railroad just begun, Workin' on the
railroad. Patsy ory ory ay Patsy ory ory ay, Patsy ory ory
ay Workin' on the railroad.
In 1800 and 92, found myself with nothin' to do Found myself with nothin' to do, Workin' on the
railroad.
In 1800 and 93, the American railroad hired me.....
In 1800 and 94, found my back was mighty sore .... In 1800 and 95, found myself more dead then
alive...... In 1800 and 96, found myself some dynamite
sticks.... In 1800 and 97, found myself on the way to heaven
.... In 1800 and 98, picked the lock to the pearly
gates..... In 1800 and 99, floating along on a cloud sublime
..... In 1800 and ninety-ten, If you like my song I'll
sing it again...
AUSTRIAN SONG An Austrian went a yodeling on a mountain top high When along came an avalanche interrupting his cry

Belly button song I’ve got a button and it’s not on my shirt
No, No, No, Not on my shirt, No, No, No, Not on my skirt
I got a button and it’s part of me, It’s right in the middle of my tummy.
It’s my belly button & It’s right beneath my sweater
It’s my belly button & It’s holding me together.
BILLBOARD SONG As I was walking down the street one bright and
sunny day I came upon a billboard and much to my dismay.
The sign was torn and tattered, from the storm the night before
The wind and rain had done it's work and this was what I saw:
Smoke Coca Cola cigarettes, chew Wrigley's Spearmint beer,
Kennel Ration Dog Food makes your wife's complexion clear
Simmonize your baby with a Hershey's candy bar & Texaco's the beauty cream that's used by all the
stars.

TITANIC Oh, they built the ship Titanic and when they were
through They said this is the ship that the water will
never get through. But the Lord He raised His hand, said the ship
will never stand. It was sad when the great ship went down.
It was sad (so sad), It was sad (so sad)
It was sad when the great ship went down to the bottom of the sea... (Husbands & wives, little
children lost their lives) It was sad when the great ship went down.
They were off the coast of England, and headed for
the shore, When the rich refused to associate with the poor. So they sent them down below, where they did not
wanna go. It was sad when the great ship went down.
(Chorus)
26
So they sent those life boats out on the wild and raging sea.
As the band was playing " Nearer My God To Thee" Oh the children wept and cried as the waves swept
over the side It was sad when the great ship went down.
(chorus)
Oh the moral of this story, is very plain to see, (Plain to see!)
Always wear a life preserver, whenever you're at sea....
Oh the Lord He raised His hand, (Raised his hand!),
Said that ship would never stand. (Never Stand!) It was sad when the great ship went down. (

day is done Tell me why you're crying my son,
I know you're frightened like everyone. Is it the thunder in the distance you fear? Will it help if I stay very near? I am here.
And if you take my hand my son, All will be well when the day is done,
And if you take my hand my son, All will be well when the day is done.
Day is done, Day is done, Day is done, Day is done.
Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son?
You shall inherit what mankind has done. In a world filled with sorrow and woe,
If you ask me why this is so... I really don't know.
Tell me why you're smiling, my son,
Is there a secret you can tell everyone? Do you know more than those that are wise?
Can you see what we all must dis-guise through your loving eyes?
BARGES Out of my window looking in the night I can see

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 ring out danger, I'd ring out a warning, I'd ring 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 warning 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 warning I'd sing of love between my brothers and my
sisters All over this land.
Well I got a hammer, and I've got a bell,
And I've got a song to sing, all over this land. It's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of
freedom It's a song about the love between my brothers and
my sisters All over this land.

And hid her in the freezer where it's nice and cool. BUT...
Then a kid came into our yard, Our yard, Our yard A kid came into our yard to get his ball. We asked him to come in and we took in the
basement, And we sealed him up inside the cellar wall.
BUT...
So when you come to our house, Our house, Our house
When you come to our house we'll have some fun. We'll ask you to come in and we'll take you in the
kitchen, And we'll put you in the oven ‘til you’re nice and
done. BUT...

And we know that you will stay.
THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Hide it under a bushel, NO! I'm gonna let it
shine. (repeat) I'll not let Satan "Whoo" it out, I'm gonna to let
it shine. (repeat) Strangest Dream
Last night I had the strangest dream, I’ve ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war
I dreamed there was a mighty room and the room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said they’d never fight again
And when the papers all were signed and a million copies made,
They all all joined hands and bowed their heads And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below were dancing round and round
and guns and swords and uniforms were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream, I’ve ever
35
dreamed before I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end
to war
today
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine Ill taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet
wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away
‘ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
I’ll be a dandy, and I’ll be a rover, You’ll know who I am by the songs that I sing
Ill feast at your table, I’ll lie in your clover Who cares what the ‘morrow shall bring
I can’t be contented with yesterdays glory I can’t live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story Ill laugh and I’ll cry and Ill sing
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? Gone to young
girls every one When will they ever learn? When will they ever
learn?
36
Where have all the young girls gone... gone to young men...
gone to soldiers... gone to graveyards... gone to flowers
Where have all the flowers gone... Young girls
picked them every one When will they ever learn? I guess they’ll never
learn?
