One of the black boys said "I need none of your pity" It's your mama that don't Like you loose in the city But stick about, take note Take a tip, take no back lip Come come a little closer Let me see you snap your fingertip Because standing on the corner Just might suit you or maybe baby There's something else you wanna do Like rolling dice, nice Like shooting pool, hey that's cool I'm a little black boy and I don't know my place I'm just a little black boy, I just threw my ace I'm a little black boy, recognize my face One of the black boys said "I'm a giving a warning" "People been putting me down" "I'm so tired I'm yawning" A new suit, pretty boots to boot And I'm feeling slick Gonna go to town, look around And pull a chick Of course standing on the corner Might suit you or maybe baby There's something else that you wanna do Like playing poker, joker Like to back a race, ace I'm a little black boy and I don't know my proper place I'm a little black boy, get my head in its space I'm a little black boy, I just play my bass I'm a little black boy, it's no disgrace |

These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you For this is a song for while I'm away To say all the things I'd love to say You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say Now I'm headed for the border You see this song it ends right at the start I swore when I was younger No one would win my heart And far away hills look greener still But soon they'll all slip away It's then I'll be returning And I'll be coming home to stay You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say |

The senorita took off her bobby socks She said she's gonna wear a skirt that shocks She's pulling out all the stops To get her Randolph back again Meanwhile Randolph, he's back at the ranch He's getting ready for tonight's song and dance He's doesn't know he doesn't stand a chance His last affair will be his last romance The senorita will be there waiting Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me Underneath the Latin moonlight The danced and seen a falling star in flight To the strum of guitars she held him tight She wants her Randolph back again Meanwhile it's worthwhile for Randolph to wait 'Till he gets the nerve then he won't hesitate He doesn't know but he's just bit the bait He just asked if he could make a date The senorita will be there waiting Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me The senorita's heart is in love She wearing white tonight, looks as pure as a dove She's thanking God and all the heavenly stars above Randolph's romance is back again Meanwhile Randolph smiles and says he'll give her ten She doesn't come so he just counts again And he's been there since he does not know when He's thinks she's stood him up but in the end The senorita won't keep him waiting Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me ooh la-la... Senorita dance cheek to cheek ooh la-la... We will dance off into the sky |

Little girl in bloom With happy heart you wipe aside Any sadness, sorrow or gloom Tomorrow you'll be a blushing bride That loves her blushing groom Little girl in bloom You watch the men play cricket From the window in your room See the ball go from bat to wicket Pass away the afternoon Little girl in bloom Carries a secret The child she carries in her womb She feels something sacred She's gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react Little girl in bloom All the clouds will go drifting by So sing your lullabying tune Every word is in your eyes As you sit and softly croon Little girl in bloom Your love it fills the air With the scent of the sweetest, sweet perfume You feel so good you just don't care You're gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react |

Up till now I used to pass my time
Drinking beer so slowly, sometimes wine No God, air, water or sunshine And honesty was my only excuse I took your love and I used it Up till now my youthful stage A useless rage, a torn out page, a worn out gauge A dirty shade, a big charade, a has been made And honesty was my only excuse I took your love and I used it I never, I never, I never Up till now my love life A few sweet kisses, a little missus, a fork and knife a happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam And honesty was my only excuse I took my life in my own hands and I abused it Up till now I used to tap dance Take a girl by the hand saying I need your , I need your romance Oh I had so many chances And honesty was my only excuse I took your love and abused it Up till now the path of life was fair enough Enough was fair, all was right And now I know, I see the light And honesty was my only excuse |

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains.
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'. I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier. I said stand o'er and deliver or the devil he may take ya. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny. I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly. She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me. But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber. Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger. For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell. I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin', And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'. Me? I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber. But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. And I got drunk on whiskey-o And I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love my Molly-o. |

She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes And said "Ooh I'd do anything for you 'cause you're a rocker" That's right I'm a rocker I love to rock and roll I get my records from the Rock On stall Sweet rock and roll Teddy boy, he's got them all |
