1. _ Jimmy Whalen
All alone as i walked by the banks of the river
Watching the moonbeams as evening drew nigh.
All alone as i rambled i spied a fare damsel
Weepin' and wailin' with many a sigh.
Weepin' for one who is now lyin' lonely
Mournin' for one who no mortal can save.
As the foaming dark waters flowed sadly about him
Onward they speed over young jimmy's grave.
Oh jimmy why can't you but tarry here with me
Not leave me alone distracted in pain
But since death is the dagger that cut us asunder
Wide is the gulf, love, between you and i.
All alone as i rambled i spied a fare damsel
Weepin' and wailin' with many a sigh.

2. _ Come And Go With Me
Come and go with me to that land
Come and go with me to that land
Come and go with me to that land
Where i'm bound
Come and go with me to that land
Come and go with me to that land
With me to that land where i'm bound.
There ain't no kneelin' in that land
There ain't no kneelin' in that land
There ain't no kneelin' in that land
Where i'm bound
There ain't no kneelin' in that land
There ain't no kneelin' in that land
Kneelin' in that land where i'm bound.
They'll be singin' in that land
Voices ringin' in that land.
They'll be freedom in that land
Where i'm bound
They'll be singin' in that land
They'll be singin' in that land
Freedom in that land where i'm bound
Well i'm gonna walk the streets of glory on that
Great day in the mornin'
I'm gonna walk the streets of glory on that
Great day in the mornin'
I'm gonna walk the streets of glory,
I'm gonna put on the shoes that's holy
I'm gonna walk the streets of glory, hallelu
Don't you want to hear the children singin' on that
Great day in the mornin'
Don't you want to hear the children singin' on that
Great day in the mornin'
Don't you want to hear all the children singin'
Big ol' bells a-ringin'
Don't you want to hear all the children singin', hallelu
Don't you want to stand in the line together on that
Great day in the mornin'
Don't you want to stand in the line together on that
Great day in the mornin'
Don't you want to stand in the line together,
Shake hands with one another
Don't you want to stand in the line together, hallelu

3. _ The Cuckoo
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome till the first day of july.
I've gambled in england, and i've gambled down in spain.
I gambled with five aces, now i've gambled my last game.
Oh, it's gamblin' that's brought me prison,
And it's gamblin' that's brought me pain
I'll never see the cuckoo or hear her song again
Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds, i know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets of silver and of gold.
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome till the first day of july.

4. _ San Francisco Bay Blues
I got those blues where my baby
Left me down by the frisco bay, yea-yea
An ocean liner came and took her away, yea-yea
I didn't mean to treat her bad,
She was the best friend i ever had,
She said goodbye, she made me cry,
She made me wanna lay down my head and die...i
Refrain
Ain't got a nickel and i ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back i think i'm gonna lose my mind
If she ever comes back to stay, 'sgonna be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby by the san francisco bay hey hey hey,
Walkin' with my baby by the san francisco bay.
Well i'm sittin' down on my back porch,
I don't know which way to go
The girl that i was so crazy about she don't love me anymore
Think i'm gonna catch a freight train, cause i'm feelin' blue
Gonna ride it to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you!
(refrain)
(refrain)
Walkin' with my baby, by the frisco bay!!!

5. _ For Lovin' Me
That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything you had is gone, as you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me.
I ain't the kind to hang around
With any new love that i've found
Movin' is my stock in trade
I'm movin on
I won't think of you when i'm gone.
So don't you shed a tear for me
I ain't the love you thought i'd be
I've got a hundred more like you
So don't be blue
I'll have a thousand 'fore i'm through.
Now there you go you're crying again
Now there you go you're crying again
But then someday when your poor heart
Is on the mend
I just might pass this way again
That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything you had is gone, as you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me.

6. _ Wasn't That A Time
Our fathers bled at valley forge, the snow was red with blood
Their faith was worn at valley forge,
Their faith was brotherhood.
Wasn't that a time, wasn't that a time?
A time to try the soul of men,
Wasn't that a terrible time?
Brave men who fought at gettysburg now lie in soldier's graves
But there they stemmed the rebel tide
And there their faith was saved
Wasn't that a time, wasn't that a time?
A time to try the soul of men,
Wasn't that a terrible time?
The wars are long, the peace is frail, the madmen come again.
There is no freedom in a land where fear and hate prevail.
Isn't this a time, isn't this a time?
A time to try the soul of men,
Isn't this a terrible time?
Our fathers bled at valley forge, the snow was red with blood
Their faith was worn at valley forge,
Their faith was brotherhood.
Wasn't that a time, wasn't that a time?
A time to try the soul of men,
Wasn't that a terrible time?

7. _ Monday Morning
Early one mornin' one mornin' in spring
To hear the birds whistle the nightingales sing
I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing
I'm going to be married next monday morning.
How old are you my fair young maid,
Here in this valley this valley so green
How old are you my fair young maid,
I'm goin' to be sixteen next monday mornin'.
Well sixteen years old, that's too young for to marry
So take my advice, five years longer to tarry
For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin
So put off your wedding for monday mornin'.
You talk like a mad man, a man with no skill
Two years i've been waiting against my own will
Now i'm determined to have my own way
And i'm going to be married next monday mornin'
And next monday mornin' the bells they will ring
And my true love will buy me a gay gold ring
Also he'll buy me a new pretty gown
To wear at my wedding next monday mornin'
Next monday night when i go to my bed
And i turn round to the man that i've wed
Around his middle my two arms i will fling,
And i wish to my soul it was monday mornin'.

8. _ When The Ship Comes In
Oh the time will come up when the wind will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
The hour that the ship comes in.
Oh the seas will split and the ship will hit
And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin'
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
And the mornin' will be breakin'!
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in.
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken'
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean.
Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in.
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'!
Of the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And they'll know that it's for real
The hour that the ship comes in.
And they'll raise their hands sayin'
"we'll meet all your demands"
But we'll shout from the bow "your days are numbered!"
And like pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
And like goliath they'll be conquered!

9. _ Gilgarra Mountain
As i was a goin' over gilgarra mountain
I spied colonel farrell and his money he was countin'
First i drew me pistols, and then i drew me rapier, sayin'
"stand and deliver for i am your bold deceiver"
Refrain:
Mush-a-ring-um duram da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar.
He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put in me pocket to take home to darlin' jenny
She sighed and swore she loved me
And never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they always lie so easy
(refrain)
I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber
To dream of gold and girls and o'course it was no wonder
Me jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water
Called on colonel farrell to get ready for the slaughter
(refrain)
Next mornin' early before i rose to travel
A' came a band o' footmen and likewise colonel farrell
I goes to draw me pistol for she'd stole away me rapier
But a prisoner i was taken, i couldn't shoot the water
(refrain)
They put me into jail with the judge all a-writin'
For robbin' colonel farrell on gilgarra mountain
But they didn't take me fists so i knocked the jailer down
And bid a farewell to this tight-fisted town
(refrain)
I'd like to find me brother, the one that's in the army
I don't know where he's stationed, in cork or in killarney
Together we'd go roamin'o'er the mountains of kilkenny
And i swear he'd treat me fairer than me darlin' sportin' jenny
(refrain)
There's some takes delight in the carriages and rollin'
And some takes delight in the hurley or the bollin'
But i takes delight in the juice of the barley
Courtin' pretty maids in the mornin' oh so early
(refrain)

10. _ Motherless Child
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child
A long way from home, a long way from home.
Sometimes i feel like i'm almost gone
Sometimes i feel like i'm almost gone
Sometimes i feel like i'm almost gone
A long way from home, a long way from home.
Sometimes i feel like a mournin' dove
Sometimes i feel like a mournin' dove
Sometimes i feel like a mournin' dove
A long way from home, a long way from home.
Sometimes i feel like an eagle in the air
Sometimes i feel like an eagle in the air
Sometimes i feel like an eagle in the air
A long way from home, a long way from home.
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child
A long way from home, a long way from home.

11. _ Talkin' Candy Bar Blues
(spoken story with guitar accompaniment)
Bought a candy bar the other day,
Only ate half, s'gonna throw the rest away
When i saw this kid playin' in the street,
I said "hey kid, you want somethin' to eat?"
He said "whut?"
I said "candy, son." he said "help!"
Then he started to run,
And i stood there,
Watchin' him go,
Half a bar of chocolate
Runnin' down my fingers.
Well the kid comes back in a minute or two
But his mom's with him and the neighbors too,
And they got the kid scared it's plain to see,
They say "which one done it?" he points at me.
He says "him". i say "what do you mean?"
He says "you!" then he starts to scream,
And i'm standin', everybody's lookin',
Everybody's starin' -at me- ... (nervous laugh)
"howdy doody...y'all waitin' for the bus?
Ah ... a little late isn't it ... anybody got a watch? ...
We could uh see how late it is ...
I got a better idea, let's find somebody with a watch
And stare at him!"
Well some start pickin' up baseball bats
And the others are pullin' the pins from their hats -
"i think this thing's gone a little too far,
Hell, i only offered him a candy bar!" i said "wait!"
I said "what are you doin'?"
They said "pre-vert the kid's life is ruined!"
"oh...oh well then you better check what he's chewin'
Cause i got the feelin'
He's in the middle of a bubble gum orgy!"
Well they're comin' at me and i'm backin' away
And then i hear this policeman say
"are you positive he's the right man?"
(i quick flicked the candy bar out of my hand).
He says "show me."
I says "show ya what?"
He says "the candy bar you degen-a-rut" and he grabs me.
He grabs both my hands.
Pretty easy to see ...
Which hand's got the chocolate!
Well i've had some troubled times before,
But none like the trip from the candy store ...
Sympathize with the kid all right,
Somebody's nice to ya, probably ain't right.
I'll grow up, i'll learn the way.
I'll learn so that my later days'll be prosperous.
(chocolate covered) ...
If i don't bite off more than i can hide.

12. _ Ballad Of Spring Hill (spring Hill Disaster)
In the town of spring hill, nova scotia,
Down in the heart of the cumberland mine,
There's blood on the coal and miners lie
In the roads that never saw sun or sky
Roads that never saw sun or sky.
Down at the coal face the miner's workin'
Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade
Crumble of rock and the walls close round
Living and the dead men two miles down
Living and the dead men two miles down
Twelve men lay two miles from the pitshaft
Listen for the drillin' of a rescue team
Six hundred feet of coal and slag
Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam
Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam
Eight days passed and some were rescued
Leaving the dead to lie alone
All their lives they dug their graves
Two miles of earth for a markin' stone
Two miles of earth for a markin' stone
In the town of spring hill you don't sleep easy
Often the earth will tremble and groan
When the earth is restless, miners die
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal
