Lady Greensleeves

On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow I lost my true lover For a courting to slow. Yes courting's a pleasure And parting is grief And a false hearted lover Is worse than a thief. She'll kiss you, she'll hug you And tell you more lies Than the cross ties on a railroad Or the stars in the sky. Let me tell you 'bout my baby She's like bad brandy wine The first time I kissed her She drove me out my mind. She's a Baltimore special Got a fine brown frame When you see her in motion Evil woman is her name. Did I tell you 'bout the Eastman Lord what a shame He run off with my baby And scandalized my name. Well I went up on a mountain top To call my baby back She was gone with that Eastman Down that lonesome railroad track. If I ever see that Eastman I'll shoot him with my gun I'll cut him with my long Jones And dare that pimp to run. Little Liza, little Liza I couldn't sleep last night Come on back home baby Everything will be all right. Let me tell you, let me tell you I don't care what you say If my woman ever comes back I'll give my life away. If you ever see a dark cloud A-rollin' in the sky It's my woman gone to heaven With a tear drop in her eye. On top of old Smokey All covered with snow I lost my true lover For a-courting to slow... |

(John Allison)
In Tarrytown, there did dwell A lovely girl I knew her well I courted her on bended knee Until she said that she would marry me. Wide and deep my grave will be With the wild goose grasses growing over m Wide and deep my grave will be With the wild goose grasses growing over me. We were young and love was grand I gave her kisses on her hand We walked along the little way And talked of when would be our wedding day. Wide and deep my grave will be With the wild goose grasses growing over me. And her house stands in Tarrytown And now my love she dances 'round She sits upon another's knee For he has gold and silver more then me... |

I looked over Jordan
And what did I see, Comin' for to carry me home A band of angels Comin' after me Comin' for to carry me home. Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home. Comin' for to carry me home. If you get there Before I do Comin' for to carry me home Tell all my friends I'll be there soon Comin' for to carry me home. Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home. Comin' for to carry me home. Sometimes I'm up Sometimes I'm down Comin' for to carry me home But still my soul Feels judgement bound Comin' for to carry me home. Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home. Comin' for to carry me home. Comin' for to carry me home... |

Wake up, wake up Darlin' Cora Wanna see you one more time The sheriff and his hound dogs a coming I gotta move on down the line. I don't know why darlin' Cora Don't know what the reason can be But I never had found a single town Where me and my boss-man agree. I ain't a man to be played with I ain't nobody's toy Been working for my pay for a long, long time How come he still calls me boy. Well I'd rather drink muddy water And sleep in a hollowed out log Than to hang around in this old town And be treated like a dirty dog. Well I whopped that man darlin' Cora And he fell down where he stood Don't know if I was wrong darlin' Cora But Lord it sure felt good. If it wasn't so dark darlin' Cora You'd see tears trickling down my face It breaks my heart darlin' Cora But I got to leave this place. Wake up, wake up darlin' Cora... |

I peeked in to say good-night When I heard my child in prayer "And for me, some scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for my hair." All the stores were closed and shuttered All the streets were dark and bare In our town, no scarlet ribbons Not one ribbons for her hair. Through the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking. I peeked in and on her bed In gay profusion lying there Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair. If I live to be a hundred I will never know from where Came those lovely scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair... |

(Merle Kilgore)
They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain, If you're lookin' for a wife. 'Cause Clifton Clowers has a fair, young daughter; He's mighty handy with a gun and knife. Her tender lips are sweeter than honey, And Wolverton Mountain protects her there; The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers, If a stranger should enter there. All o' my dreams are on Wolverton Mounrain; I want his daughter for my wife. I'll take my chances and climb the Mountain, Though Clifton Clowers might take my life. Her tender lips are sweeter than honey, And Wolverton Mountain protects her there; The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers, If a stranger should enter there. I'm goin' up on Wolverton Mountain, It's so lonesome down here below; It's just not right to hide his daughter, From the one who loves her so. Her tender lips are sweeter than honey, And Wolverton Mountain protects her there; The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers, If a stranger should enter there. I don't care about Clifton Clowers; I'm goin' to climb up on his mountain; I'm goin' to take the one I love. I don't care about Clifton Clowers. I'm goin' to climb up on his mountain. I don't care about... (repeating, fading away) |

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 reach 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 swaying to and fro I must declare, my heart is there Tho' 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 --- Instrumental --- Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bare Ackey rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine 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 My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston... |
