WALL OF DEATH
(Richard Thompson) Let me ride on the wall of death one more time Let me ride on the wall of death one more time You can waste your time on the other rides But this is the nearest to being alive Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse The tunnel of love might amuse you And Noah's Ark might confuse you But let me take my chances on the wall of death On the wall of death All the world is far from me On the wall of death It's the nearest to being free You're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel And maybe you're strong But what's the good of ringing a bell The switchback will make you crazy Beware of the bearded lady Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death Let me ride on the wall of death one more time Let me ride on the wall of death one more time You can waste your time on the other rides But this is the nearest to being alive Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death |

(Sandy Denny)
Across the evening sky All the birds are leaving But how can they know It's time for them to go Before the winter fire I will still be dreaming I have no thought of time For who knows where the time goes Who knows where the time goes Sad deserted shore Your fickle friends are leaving Ah, but then you know It's time for them to go I will still be here I have not thought of leaving I have no thought of time For who knows where the time goes Who knows where the time goes And I am not alone While my love is near me I know it will be so Until it's time to go So come the storms of winter And then the birds in spring again I have no fear of time For who knows how my love grows And who knows where the time goes |

(Sylvia Fricker)
When I got up this morning You were on my mind You were on my mind I got some aches and I got some pains and I got some wounds to bind So I went to the corner Just to ease my pain Just to ease my pain I got drunk and I got sick and I came home again Well I woke up this morning You were on my mind And you were on my mind I got troubles I got worries I got wounds to bind I got a feeling down in my shoes Way down in my shoes I got to move on I got to travel I got to walk away my blues When I got up this morning You were on my mind You were on my mind I got some aches and I got some pains and I got some wounds to bind |

I want you to tell me Why you walked out on me I'm so lonesome everyday I want you to know That since you walked out on me Nothing seems to be the same ole way Think about the love that burns Within my heart for you The good times we had Before you went away, oh me Chorus Walk right back to me this minute Bring your love to me Don't send it I'm so lonesome everyday These eyes of mine That gave you loving glances once before Changed to shades of cloudy gray I want so very much to see you Just like before I gotta know you're comin' back to stay Please believe me when I say It's great to hear from you But there's a lotta things a letter just can't say, oh me Chorus I'm so lonesome everyday I'm so lonesome everyday I'm so lonesome everyday |

In the hills of Montana There's a timber wolf howlin' The rangers are prowlin' For a woman alone She'd run away from an Indian lover He'll never recover She turned him to stone Chorus She drank Canadian whiskey Pure blended whiskey She drank it like wine Her eyes were the color of Canadian whiskey Pure blended whiskey So light brown and fine Twenty years later I heard of a woman She's living alone Up by Yellowstone Creek And old Trapper John Brings her cases of whiskey Canadian whiskey He says she never will speak Chorus (Twice) |

(Guy Clark)
And I'd play the red river valley And he'd sit in the kitchen and he'd cry And run his fingers Through seventy years of living And wonder, Lord, has every well I've drilled gone dry We were friends me and this old man Like desperadoes waiting for a train Like desperadoes waiting for a train Well he's a drifter and a driller of oil wells And an old school man of the world He taught me how to drive his car When he's too drunk to And he'd wink and give me money for the girld And our lives were like some old western movie Like desperadoes waiting for a train Like desperadoes waiting for a train From the time that I could walk He'd take me with him To a bar called the green frog cafe There was old men with beer guts and dominoes Lying about their lives while they played And I was just a kid They all called me sidekick Like desperadoes waiting for a train Like desperadoes waiting for a train One day I looked up and He was pushing eighty And there was brown tobacco stains All down his chin To me he was one of the heroes Of this country So why's he all dressed up like them old men Drinking beer amd playing moon and forty-two Like desperadoes waiting for a train Like desperadoes waiting for a train And then the day before he died I went to see him And I was grown and he was almost gone So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen And sang another verse to that old song Come on, jack, the son-of-a-bitch is coming We're like desperadoes waiting for a train Like desperadoes waiting for a train (4 times) |

chorus-
On the wings of a snow white dove He sends his pure sweet love A sign from abouve- a sign from above On the wings of a dove. When trouble surrounds us When evil's come The body grows weak The spirit grows strong When these things beset us He doesn't forget us He sends down his love - sends down his love On the wings of a dove chorus When noah had drifted On the flood many days He searched for land In various ways Troubles he had some But wasn't forgotten He sent down his love - sent down his love On the wings of a dove chorus 2x |

(John Grimaudo - Saylor White)
And she has a dress of laces It's worn in many places The shoulder hangs upon her by a thread And she has a need for ahrin' For someone warm and carin' And no one sees a heart that's underfed Chorus Young girl in love Young girl in tears She hasn't seen the man she loves in years And her mother is a waitress At the harbour bar, good graces Where the seamen come a fishin' with their lines And it was one of them that caught her And left her with a daughter Who lives with hate and loving him in mind Chorus So the young girl goes to the water And she calls out for her father But she ain't seen the old man in some time Yes, and he was always boastin' Just a drinkin' and a toastin' And one day he left his family behind Chorus So the mother comes home a drinkin' With a sailor who's a tinkin' out loud That he might stay with them awhile So she loads her mother's pistol And she shoots him as he whistles A song about a sailor's life in style Young girl in love Young girl in tears She kills the only man she's loved in years And with him dies her hopes, her dreams, her fears Repeat First Verse And no one sees a heart that's underfed |

(Ian Tyson)
Never hit seventeen When you play against the dealer You know that the odds Won't ride with you And never leave your woman alone With your friends around to steal her She'll be gambled and gone Like summer wages And we'll keep rollin' on 'Til we get to Vancouver And the woman that I love She's living there It's been six long months And more since I've seen her Years have gambled and gone Like summer wages In all the beer parlors All down along Main Street The dreams of the seasons Get all spilled down on the floor All the big stands of timber Just waiting for the falling And the hookers stand watchfully Waiting by the door So I'll work on the towboats With my slippery city shoes Which lord I swore I would never do again Through the the gray fog-bound straits Where the cedars stand watching I'll be far off and gone Like summer wages Never hit seventeen When you play against the dealer You know that the odds Won't ride with you And never leave your woman alone With your friends around to steal her She'll be gambled and gone Like summer wages And the years are gambled and lost Like summer wages |

(Stephen Collins Foster)
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears While we all sup sorrow with the poor There's a song that will linger forever in our ears; Oh, hard times come again no more Chorus 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times come again no more Many days you have lingered Around my cabin door Oh hard times come again no more While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay There are frail forms fainting at the door Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say; Oh, hard times come again no more Chorus There's a pale sorrowed maiden who toils her life away With a worn heart whose better days are o'er Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day Oh, hard times come again no more Chorus 'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave 'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore 'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave Oh, hard times come again no more Chorus |

Chorus Wasn't that a mighty storm Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning, well Wasn't that a mighty storm That blew all the people away You know the year of 1900 Children, many years ago Death cakme howling on the ocean Death calls, you got to go Now Galveston had a seawall To keep the water down, and a High tide from the coean Spread the water over the town Chorus You know the trumpets gave them waring You'd better leave this place Now, no one thoght of leaving 'Til death stared them in the face And the trains they all were loaded The people were all leaving town The trestle gave way to the water And the trains they went on down Chorus Rain it was a' falling Thunder began to roll Lightning flashed like hell fire The wind began to blow Death the cruel master When the wind to blow Rode in on a team of horses I cried,"Death, won't you let me go" Chorus Hey, now trees fell on the island And the houses give way Some they strained and drowned Some died in most every way And the sea began to rolling And the ships they could not stand And I heard a captain crying "God save a drowning man" Chorus Death your hands are clammy You got them on my knee You come and took my mother Won't you come back after me And the flood it took my neighbor Took my brother too I thought I heard my father calling And I watched my mother go Chorus You know the year of 1900 Children, many years ago Death came howling on the ocean Death calss, you got to go Chorus (Twice) |

I packed up my suitcase Pulled down my old bedroll And I started to wander Far from my home And the time it passed quickly And the days seemed to be hours Far from your city And Yarrington Town Well, I wandered through the midnights Of sea-bordered bar lights And I wandered through the forests As deep as the sea But I never got lonesome Until I'd hear a sad song One to remind me of Yarrington Town Well, I followed a miner To his home in the North woods And he promised to love me As long as I'd stay And I even saw lightning Touch a stone in the mine field Could not touch the lightning In Yarrington Town So I packed up my suitcase I pulled out my old bedroll And I started to wander On back to my home And the time it passed slowly And the days seemed to be years Far from your city And Yarrington Town I'm going home to your city And Yarrington Town |

At my door the leaves are falling The cold wild wind will come Sweethearts walk by together And I still miss someone I go out on a party To look for a little fun But I find a darkened corner Because I still miss someone Chorus Oh, I never get over those blue eyes I see them everywhere I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there I wonder if she's sorry Fr leaving what we've begun There's someone for me somewhere But I still miss someone Chorus Repeat First Verse Oh, I still miss someone |

Before you marry, before you mend Or have someone's children, long before then You could find something with somebody new Try the love I'm offering in my open arms Before you do We should have quarreled, it's so unwise To cut yourself loose with only some lies Wasn't my first time, it won't be my last Try the love that took only a minute to grow It won't die that fast Bridge Try the love that the keeper of the keys Told me one time was clearly not for me He's not keepin' no more It's the kind when held up to a flame Whispers one word, darlin' always your name Of this you can be sure I have a home now. you should come back It's got so much room that I can't unpack This is my wish, dear, a now spoken truth Try the love that once hidden now seems so alive It's waiting on you Bridge Try the love that onec hidden now seems so alive It's waiting on you |

I sold the farm to take me woman Where she longed to be We left our kin and all our friends Back there in Tennessee I bought the one way tickets She had often begged me for And they took us to the streets of Baltimore Bridge 1) (1st Section) Well my heart was filled with laughter When I saw those city lights She said the prettiest place on earth Was Baltimore at night 2) (2nd Section) Well, a man feels proud to give his woman What she's longing for And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine We bought a little cottage In a neighborhood serene But every night when I came home With every muscle sore She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore Bridge 1) (1st Section) Well, I did my best to bring her back To what she used to be But, I soon learned she loved those bright lights Much more than she loves me 2) (2nd Section) Now I'm goin' back on that same train That brought me here before While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore Tag Yes, my baby walks the streets of Baltimore |

Where the Walker runs down into the Carson Valley plain There lived a young maiden Darcy Farrow was her name The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the range She was courted by young Vandermeer And quite handsome was he I am to hear He brought her silver rings and lacy things And they promised to marry before the snows came that year But her pony did stumble and she did fall Her dyin' touched the hearts of us, one and all Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet in his brain And we buried them together as the snows began to fall They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through They sing of her beautyin Virginia City too At dusty sundown to her name they drink a round And to young Vandy whose love was true Where the Walker runs down into the Carson Valley plain There lived a young maiden Darcy Farrow was her name The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the range |

If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning I'd hammer in the evening all over this land I'd hammer out danger I'd hammer out a warning I'd hammer out the 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 But 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 a warning I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land Well I got a hammer And I got a bell And I got a song to sing all over this land It's the hammer of justice It's the bell of freedom And it's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land |
