There was a man from Galilee
With hands that cared for everything
They took his plow and beat it into swords
I have a dad I never see
And children here in front of me
We’re going where the apples taste like flowers
I wouldn’t…

O I sing I hate the wind
it keeps me from you
people say I'm no good
how can that be true
and the day is cold
and the leaves have turned
and air is sour
and the grass has burned
a knife that's looking for a sheath
but finds instead…

I learned to whistle
I learned to walk
I made it rustle
I saw a fox
I walked through thistle
I slept on moss
There was no water
That I couldn’t cross
I made a skiffle
I drowned a rock
I did not blunder
I didn’t talk…

O the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
and she warbles when she flies
she never hollers cuckoo
til the fourth day of July
Gonna build me a log cabin
on a mountain so high
so I can see the cuckoo
when she goes on by
I've played cards in…

Walking Down the Line - Bob Dylan
Well I'm walking down the line
My feet will be a flying
to tell you bout my troubled mind
I got a heavy headed gal
She ain't a feeling well
When she's better only time will tell
Well my money comes…

I went down
to old fort worth
in 18 and 83
when a Mexican cowboy
come stepping up to me
he said how are you young fella
how would you like to go
and spend the season working
in the hills of Mexico
well having no employment
back to him…

It's a simple knot
That keeps me from the lake
It's a simple knot
That keeps me
What's known between
A rider and bridle
What's known between

O to be

I don't care
My honey run away from me
the stars fell down
I counted three
I don't care
Lulu won't you open the door
I can't stay here anymore
across the Appalachians wide
and the Eastern Continental Divide
Chorus
I can see just…

Slurf Song - Michael Hurley
O a little wishbone
I make a wish for a potato
Pickin out the fishbones in my perch
on lake Champlain
O them perch
o them bones

Birds sing songs that
Wake the dreamers
From their sorrowful soirée
Cryin', bye bye, sweet fried chicken
And the platter
Glides away
In the moonlight
In the moonlight
We don't hear, but
Water running
Down the stream…

Water
Where do you go
O water
Where do you go
Said I'm going down
Gulf of Mexico
Bluebird
Where have you been
O bluebird
Where have you been
I went all the way to Texas
And back again
Winter
Has come and gone
O winter
Has come…

Baby Willow
Somewhere, something
has turned a wing
and left a branch dancing
grey days, grassways
there's a stowaway seed
in the cuff of my jeans
baby willow
it's the only place you'll ever know
blue vein in my head
gets the blood…

On my way home
By that lonesome graveyard
A ghost jumps up and says
Come here won't you be my man
Wasn't a ghost at all
Someone asking for a ride
Wasn't a ghost at all
Someone asking for a home
Said boy come here
And take me to your…

I saw jack-in-the-pulpit and I knew I belonged
And I felt every sermon and I held every song
O The trees creaked and shifted as they turned and dropped their leaves
And I pulled an empty bottle and I held it to the breeze.
Oh this one life…

Mountain Song
Went to the city from Arkansas
I wanted to be everything that I saw
Don't you believe the nice things you hear
People in the city'd lick the fat from your beard
Red red river where nobody goes
So full of iron it's like…

Hares on the Mountain
O Sally my dear it's you I'd be kissin'
She smiled and replied "You don't know what you're missin"
If all the young men were hares on the mountain
many young girls would grab guns and go huntin
If the young…

Half and apple half a moon
Half a dozen coyotes and a howling loon
Pick a card any card
It's all magic don't think too hard
Don't think too hard
Don't thing too hard about it
Where on earth do you find the time
To be anything less…
