Odetta [기타]

Hush-a-bye,
Don't you cry,
Go to sleepy, little baby.
When you wake
You shall have
All the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays,
Dapples and grays,
All the pretty little horses.

Way down yonder
In the meadow
Lies my poor little babe.
Bees and butterflies
A-peckin' on its eyes.
Poor little thing is cryin', "Mammy."
Blacks and bays,
Dapples and grays,
All the pretty little horses.

Got sleepy, little baby.
When you wake
You shall have
All the pretty little horses.

First time I see the boll weevil,
Sittin' on the square.
Next time I seen him,
Had his family there.

Chorus:
"Hey, boll weevil,
Where's your native home?"
"Way down in the bottom,
'Neath the cotton and corn."

Farmer asked the merchant,
"Gimme a little meat, a little meal."
"Ain't nothin' doin', old man,
Boll weevil in your fiel'.

(Chorus)

First time I see the boll weevil,
Sittin' on the square.
Next time I seen him,
Had his family there.

I one dressed up and went to town
To court a fair young lady.
When I inquired about her name,
Her name was Devilish Mary.

Chorus:
Come fa la ling come, ling come,
Fa la ling come, day.
Fa la ling come, ling come,
Fa la ling come, day.

When me and Mary began to spark,
She got in a hurry,
Made it all up in her mind,
She'd marry me next Thursday.

(Chorus)

Hadn't been married for about two weeks,
Before we oughta been parted.
Hadn't said one single word,
She'd kicked up her heels and started.

(Chorus)

One day I said to Mary,
"Think we ought to be parted."
And just as soon as I said the word,
She packed all her clothes and started.

(Chorus)

She washed my clothes in old soap suds,
And filled up my bathtub with switches.
She let me know right from the start
She was gonna wear my britches.

(Chorus)

Now if I ever marry again,
It'll be for love not riches.
Marry a little girl about two feet high,
And she can't wear my britches.

I never had a pocket full of money
I never had a ruby red ring
All I ever had was you, babe
To sit and listen to me sing
I got the blues
The empty pocket blues

And I never had a barrel full of money
Never had a big Cadillac
All I ever had was you, babe
And that's a fact
I got the blues
The empty pocket blues

Some people got barrels of money
Bushels of ruby red rings
But they ain't got a man like mine
And they don't know how to sing
I got the blues
The empty pocket blues

Now some say the blues are sorrowful
Some say the blues are sad
But when I sing the blues to you
They come out feelin' glad
I got the blues
The empty pocket blues

Now don't put your money in a barrel
Don't waste it on a ruby red ring
Give it all to your own little girl
To fix your dinner while you sing
I got the blues
The empty pocket blues

I got the blues
The empty pocket blues

The fox went out to the chase one night
Prayed to the moon to give him light
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o town-o,
Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town
Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town

He ran 'til he came to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in
Said a couple of you gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town o, town o, town o
Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town
Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town

He grabbed the grey goose by the neck
Throwed a duck across his back
He didn't amind with the quack, quack quack
And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o

Out of the window she cocked her head

And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o

And the fox is on the town-o
John, John the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o

Well, the fox he came to his own den
There were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
Saying Daddy you better go back again
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o

Saying Daddy you better go back again
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town
Saying Daddy you better go back again
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town

Well, the fox and his wife without any strife
Cut up the goose with a carving knife
They never had such a supper in their

Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the savior's birth

The humble christ was born
And god sent us salvation

You may run home for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
You may run homefor a long time,
But lemme tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down.
Go tell that long-tongued liar,
Go tell that midnight rider,
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter,
Tell 'im God Almighty's gonna cut him down.
Great God Almighty! Let me tell you the news,
My head's been wet with the midnight dews.
Now I've been down on my bended knees,
Talkin' to the Man from Galilee.
My God spoke, He spoke so sweet,
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet.
He put one hand on my head,
Great God Almighty! Let me tell you what He said:
"You may run on for a long time,
But let me tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down."
You may throw a rock, hide your hand,
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man,
But sure as God has made the day and the night,
What you do in the darkwill be brought to light.
You may run and hide, slide and slide,
Try to take the mote from your neighbor's eyes,
But sure as God made the Virgin and the Pope,
What you reap, my brother, is what you sow.
You may run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
You may run home for for a long time,
But let me tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down.
Go tell that long-tongued liar,
Go tell that midnight rider,
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter,
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut him down.
Some people go to church just to signify,
Try to make a date with his neighbor's wife,
But, neighbor, let me tell you, just as sure as you're born,
You better leave that woman, well, yuh leave her alone.
Now one of these days, you just mark my words,
You'll think the brother is a-gone to work,
Now you'll wake up, a knock on the door,
That's all, brother, you'll knock no more.
Go tell that long-tongued liar,
Go tell that midnight rider,
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter,
Tell 'im God Almighty's gonna cut him down.

John Henry was a little baby,
Sittin; on his momma's knee,
Said, "The Big Bend Tunnel on the C & O Road
Is gonna be the death of me, Lord,
Be the death of me."

When John Henry was a little baby,
Sittin' on his poppa's knee,
He took a hammer, a little piece of steel,
Said, "Hammer's gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Hammer's gonna be the death of me."

John Henry had a little woman,
Her name was Mary Magdalene.
Every day she would sing for John Henry
Just to hear his hammer when it swing, Lord,
Just to hear his hammer when it swing.

And now the captain he says to John Henry,
"I'm gonna bring that steam drill round,
I'm gonna bring that steam drill out on the job,
"I'm gonna whop that steel on down."

John Henry said to his captain,
"I know a man ain't nothin' but a man,
But before I'll let your steam drill beat me down,
I'll die with my hammer in my hand, Lord,
I'll die with my hammer in my hand.

John Henry said to his shaker,
"Shaker, why don't you sing?
And now I'm throwin' forty pounds from my hip on down,
Listen to the cold steel ring, Lawdy, Lawdy,
Listen to the cold steel ring."

John Henry said to his captain,
"Looky yonder what I see--
Steam drill broke, your hole done choke,
You can't drive steel like me, Lord,
You can't drive steel like me."

John Henry a-workin' on the mountain,
Hammer was a-strikin' fire,
But he worked so hard it broke his poor heart,
He laid down his hammer and he died, Lawdy,
He lad down his hammer and he died.

Now momma's gonna shoe my pretty little feet,
Poppy gonna glove my hand,
Sister gonna kiss my red, ruby lips,
I don't need no man, Lawdy, Lawdy,
Not after my steel-drivin' man, Lawdy, Lawdy,
Not after my steel-drivin' man.

Was a maid in a garden,
Strange young man came riding by,
Said, "Fair maid, will you marry me?"
This then, sir, was her reply.

"Oh no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee,
For I've a love who sails along the sea.
He's been gone for seven years,
Still he will return to me."

"What if he's in some battle slain,
Or drownded in the deep salt sea?
Or what if he's found another love,
He and his love both married be?"

"If he's in some battle slain,
Then I shall die when the moon doth wain.
And if he's drownded in the deep salt sea,
I am true to his memory.

"And if he's found another love,
And he and his love both married be,
I wish them health and happiness
Where they live across the sea."

Well, he picked her up in his arms so strong,
And kisses gave her one, two, three,
Saying, "Come, my love, come with me,
I am your long lost John Riley."
Saying "Come, my love, come to me,
I'm your long lost John Riley."
