Lonesome Valley

You gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta walk it by yourself
Ain't nobody here who can walk it for you
You gotta walk it by yourself.
You gotta sleep in that lonesome graveyard
You gotta sleep there by yourself
Ain't nobody here who can sleep there for you
You gotta sleep there by yourself.
You gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta walk it by yourself
Ain't nobody here who can walk it for you
You gotta walk it by yourself.
There is a road that leads to glory
In a valley far away
Ain't nobody here who can go there for you
They can only point the way.
You gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta walk it by yourself
Ain't nobody here who can walk it for you
You gotta walk it by yourself.

Jubilee

All out on the old railroad, all out on the sea
All out on the old railroad far as I can see
Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee
Hardest work I ever done was working on a farm
Easiest work I ever done was swingin' my true love's arm
Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee
If I had no horse to ride, I'd be found a-crawlin'
Up and down this rocky road, lookin' for my darlin'
Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee
If I had me a needle and thread, fine as I could sew
I'd sew my true love to my side and down this crick I'd go
Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee
I don't want no bitter man and neither does my cousin
You can get such stuff as that for fifteen cents a dozen
Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee
Coffee grows on a wide oak tree, sugar runs in brandy
Girls are sweet as summertime, boys are sweet as candy
Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee.

There is a Time
03:07
|

|
There is a time for love and laughter
The days will pass like summer storms
The winter winds will follow after
But there is love, and love is warm
There is a time for us wander
When time is young, and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new, the world is free
So do your roaming in the springtime
And find your love in summer sun
The frost will come and bring the harvest
And you can sleep when day is done
There is a time for us to wander
When time is young, and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new, the world is free.

I got a man in Arkansas
(Eliza Jane!)
Made him meet my Ma and Pa!
(Eliza Jane!)
Oh won't you -
Oh, Eliza!
Eliza Jane!
Oh, Eliza!
Eliza Jane!
I'm gonna marry him if I can
(Eliza Jane!)
I love him 'cause he's a union man.
(Eliza Jane)
Oh won't you - (laughter)
Oh, Eliza!
Eliza Jane!
Oh, Eliza!
Eliza Jane!
He plays the five string all night long -
(Eliza Jane!)
Sleeps in the kitchen with his feet in the hall!
(Eliza Jane)
Oh won't you -
Oh, Eliza!
Eliza Jane!
Oh, Eliza!
Eliza Jane!
Brendan: Nailed it!

Hammer, hammer killed John Henry
Laid him low, laid him low
Hammer, hammer killed John Henry
Laid him low, laid him low.
Go and tell your - tell your captain
He is gone, he is gone.
Go and tell your - tell your captain
He is gone, he is gone!
Oh, John Henry had a woman
and her name was Polly-Anne
And her heart, oh, it was heavy
With her love of a steel-drivin' man.
She was standin' by her window
on a cold and cloudy day
When she saw that hearse come rollin'
for to take John Henry away.
Undertaker, undertaker
Won't you please drive slow?
For the man that you are carryin'
Lord, we hate to see him go!
Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, by and by?
Is a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, oh in the sky?
This here hammer killed John Henry
Laid him low, laid him low
This here hammer killed John Henry
Laid him low, laid him low.

Will You Miss Me?
04:07

When death has closed my eyelids
and my race on earth is run
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
And when I'm sweetly 'parted
into that great beyond
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Though I am departed
and your earthly life goes on
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?

Darlin' I have come to tell you
though it almost breaks my heart -
that before the morning, darlin'
we'll be many miles apart.
Don't this road look rough and rocky?
Don't that sea look wide and deep?
Don't my baby look the sweetest
when he's in my arms asleep?
Can't you hear the night birds calling
far across that deep blue sea?
Though you're thinking of another
won't you sometimes think of me?
Don't this road look rough and rocky?
Don't that sea look wide and deep?
Don't my baby look the sweetest
when he's in my arms asleep?
One more kiss before I leave you
One last kiss before I part.
You have caused me lots of trouble -
Darlin', you have broke my heart.
Don't this road look rough and rocky?
Don't that sea look wide and deep?
Don't my baby look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep?
