I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice Tables of paper wood Windows of light And everything emptying into white A simple garden, with acres of sky A brown-haired dogmouse If one should drop by Yellow delanie would sleep well at night And everything emptying into white And everything emptying into white A blue eyed drummer rehearses outside A black spider dancing on top of his eye Red legged chicken stands ready to strike And everything emptying into white |

I came from Alabama
Wid my banjo on my knee, I'm g'wan to Louisiana My true love for to see, It rain'd all night the day I left, The weather it was dry, The sun so hot I frose to death; Susanna, don't you cry. Chorus: Oh! Susanna, Oh! don't you cry for me, I've come from Alabama, wid my banjo on my knee. I jumped aboard de telegraph, And trabbelled down de ribber, De Lectrie fluid magnified, And killed five hundred Nigger De bulgin' bust, de horse run off, I really thought I'd die; I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susanna, don't you cry. Chorus: I had a dream de odder night When ebery ting was still; I thought I saw Susanna, A coming down de hill. The buckwheat cake war in her mouth, The tear was in her eye, Says I'm coming from de South, Susanna, don't you cry. Chorus: I soon will be in New Orleans, And den I'll look all round, And when I find Susanna, I' fall upon the ground. But if I do not find her, Dis darkie 'I surely die, And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry. |

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise |

Well the sun is surely sinking down
But the moon is slowly rising So this old world must still be spinning around And I still love you So close your eyes You can close your eyes, it's all right I don't know no love songs And I can't sing the blues anymore But I can sing this song And you can sing this song When I'm gone When I'm gone It won't be long before another day We gonna have a good time And no one's gonna take that time away You can stay as long as you like So close your eyes You can close your eyes, it's all right I don't know no love songs And I can't sing the blues anymore But I can sing this song And you can sing this song When I'm gone Ooh, when I'm gone Ooh, when I'm |

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls swinging to and fro I must declare that my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Ackie rice and salt fish is nice And the rum is good any time of year But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Leave a little girl in Kingston town Leave a little girl in Kingston town |

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine You make me happy When skies are grey You'll never know, dear How much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away The other nite, dear As I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear I was mistaken Please don't take my sunshine away Please don't take my sunshine away |

Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine. On the side of a hill in the deep forest green. Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown. Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain Sleeps unaware of the clarion call. Tell her to make me a cambric shirt: Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; Without no seams nor needle work, Then she'll be a true love of mine. On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves. Washes the grave with silvery tears. A soldier cleans and polishes a gun. Sleeps unaware of the clarion call. Tell her to find me an acre of land: Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; Between the salt water and the sea strand, Then she'll be a true love of mine. War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions. General order their soldiers to kill. And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten. Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather: Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; And gather it all in a bunch of heather, Then she'll be a true love of mine. |

I gave my love a cherry without no stone
I gave my love a chicken without no bone I gave my love a story without no end I gave my love a baby that's no cryin How can there be a cherry without no stone How can there be a chicken without no bone How can there be a story without no end How can there be a baby with no cryin A cherry when it's bloomin it hath no stone A chicken when it's a pippin it hath no bone A story when it's wending it hath no end And a baby when it's sleeping, there's no crying |

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high There's a land that I've heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why, can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why, can't I? |

I love lilacs and avocados
Ukuleles and fireworks And Woody Allen and walking in the snow But you've got to know You're the love of my life You are the love of my life You are the love of my life You are the love of my life From the moment I first saw you The second that you were born I knew that you were the love of my life Quite simply the love of my life I love Lucy and pumpernickel bread The Statue of Liberty and standing ovations And falling into bed But get it through your head You're the love of my life You are the love of my life You are the love of my life You are the love of my life From the moment I first saw you The second that you were born I knew that you were the love of my life Quite simply the love of my life You can drive me crazy You can drive me anywhere Here are the keys Just do as you please It may not always be easy But you're the love of my life My heart is riding on a runaway train You are the love of my life Through all the pleasure and pain From the moment I first saw you I knew, I knew it right away I knew that you were the love of my life Simply the love of my life You are the love The great love of my life. |

I don't remember day and night
Don't remember any fights I don't remember what to do I just remember you I can't recall the summer breeze Whispers through the apple trees And I forget the songs I knew I just remember you Time to go on So much life to be lived on my own Someday I'll wake up as good as new Then I'll remember skies of blue Handsome boys I almost knew I try my best but I know it's true I'll just remember you |
