Another day is gone
And I can't find a shooting star
Is this a message
Or an acid test of faith?
I've prayed a thousand times
But I can't hear a sole reply
This "waiting patiently"
Is more than I can take
She was afraid of mine
Awaiting some angelic vision
She lost a lifetime
Searching for a sign
[chorus]
Don't you know that
We are listening for whispers
When we cannot hear the screams
The sun is blinding us
And still we look for matches
We cannot just deny this anymore
He was a fortune teller
Always working late night
He spent his days in search of something
That was real
She was a beggar in the park
Where he was contemplating
She said that he was blind
'Cause God is here
[chorus]
Ummmmm
Hey
Ohhhh oh yeah
Ummm umm
Look
[Verse 1:]
Oh miss lady
These sexual thoughts keep rushing through my mind
All I wanna do is touch you(touch you, touch you)
Because the feelings that I feel so hard to fight
But I ain€™t trying to rush you (rush you, rush you)
Even though I€™m only in your town for one night
I got enough time to rush through the drill
Girl tell me how you feel deep down inside
Yeah
Cause I€™m trying to make you feel
[Chorus:]
Make you feel so right
Whenever your body€™s lying next to mine
It€™s gonna get loose
Let€™s take it through the roof
Cause you know that you€™re the truth
Girl you€™re extra fine
Cause I€™m trying to make you feel
Make you feel so right
Whenever your body€™s lying next to mine
It€™s gonna get loose
Let€™s take it through the roof
Cause you know that you€™re the truth
Girl you€™re extra fine
Yeah
[Verse 2:]
Girl your hips your eyes
Your hips your thighs
Is so hypnotizing
This feeling inside of me
Is steadily rising
Girl I know
Baby girl I know
Your love I€™m trying to hold on to
Why don€™t you just let go
Loose control
It€™s all on you
[Chorus]
[Breakdown:]
So shorty just relax your mind
Sit back and let€™s unwind
I promise it€™ll feel real good
Just let me massage your spine
Cause baby there€™s no need to rush
We got no where to go
Take your time
And you see by the end of our escapade
I€™ll make you mine
[Chorus (repeat until end)]

Hey baby
This is my life yeah
This is my life
Baby ohhh
This is life
January 3, 1986
Busting out for the fix
Took my first steps
No clue at how physical life gets
Round uptown Calio projects
Whole life stopped when my daddy got popped
One head shot he was dead on the spot
Now I’m running around with my stomach in knots
Knowing memories is all I got
Ohh nobody knows about the struggling I been through
That’s why I hustle like I do
I gotta provide for my people
Yeah
And nigga I done worked too hard
I done came too far to loose
Can’t stay still gotta stay on the move
Leave everyday with a point to prove
Mama jumped ship
Hoping shit gone change
Now I’m A-Town bound nigga down for the grain
I’m feeling like I’m loosing my sane
Cause nigga’s round me been using cocaine
Now my dreams of fortune and fame won’t be slain
Just gotta except that I’m on the road that was chose from above
Nigga love is pain
I go and know you been waiting for a long time
Shorty keep a strong grind
Never give up the sun don’t shine
See I’m where I belong now yeah
Just never ever lose perspective
Cause if the shit hits the fan and times get hectic
I’ll fall to my knees and thank god that I’m blessed with
The strength to hold on and deliver the message
I don't know if I should mention this
But I guess I will just accept the risk
Please forgive me for my candidness
But you're the one who went and started it
Singin' like an Alice Cooper wanna be
A gimmick to distract lack of ability
I realize Mr. Rexnor can't do everything
But don't you want an ounce of real integrity?
[chorus]
I don't really care if this is offending you
I'll scream if from the mountains if I have to
This is the one fixation I'll never lose
This is the choice I can't refuse
I don't know you but you're hating me
Must be my fascist Christianity
I bet it kills you to be forced to see
You're no more a sinner than a man like me
I'm standing in the "trench" calling you a fake
I'll bet you're angel-white underneath the cape
Shock 'em and they give you back a nice career
If you are the Devil, make me disappear
[chorus]
Your in my life
Everyday
And barkin at every little thing I do
Its because of you
Im the man that I am
And no one
Can ever replace your love
Your my antie
My sister
My mother
Sharin my story unlike no other
Stay as amazing as you are
Stay as beautiful as you are
Stay as strong as you are
Miss lady
Miss lady
As lovely as a girl could be
Miss lady
Your lovin means the world to me
Miss lady
The reason that I got this far
Whenever times got hard
If I were just a fly onthe table by your apple pie
Would you ask me to try and explain how aeronautics
made me fly?
If I were just a mouse in the attic of your lovely house
Would you ask my surmise on how architects designed this place I hide?
[chorus]
'Cause there's nothing more that I can say
To make you see the world this way
So much more than we can comprehend
And until we come to grips with this
And see the limits of our wits
We'll never see that we are only human
If God explained to me how He engineered this galaxy
Would this be something like teaching rocket science to a butterfly?
[chorus]
She loved the flowers in her room
They helped ease the pain deep inside her
And even though she could not move
Her presence lit the universe
Sometimes she had dreams
She was soaring over golden streets
But what did they mean?
I asked her and she smiled as she said
[chorus]
"I know heaven waits for me
So don't shed a tear
We'll live eternally,
I'll be waiting for you there"
[verse 2]
I never knew her in this world
Though I heard her voice through her written words
And even as the years unfurl
My faith is nothing compared to hers
Sometimes she had dreams
She was soaring over golden streets
But what did they mean?
I asked her and she smiled as she said
[chorus]
[bridge]
And everything is perfect there
There's no more pain and no more tears
I've seen it in my dreams
And I have heard their singing in my ears
The forever song
[chorus]
I'm swimming like a fish on the ocean
I'm singing like a pipe organ
I'm living liek a man with a notion
I'm thinking that I know so much
I've been walking through space
Though time to you
And I can move mountains in my view
I am going to places you can't find
And I will see you again
[chorus]
And this is
What you'll call your life
And this is
What it must be like
And this is
What you'll call your life
I'm swimming like a fish on the ocean
I'm waiting for a soul robber
And I'm a son of the day
And I'm awake
And I will see you again
[chorus]
I'm sick and tired of lyin' here and thinkin'
With informercials sinkin' in
And I can't find my remore
I won't accept the terms of this surrender
'Cause there is something bigger
And I feel it here today
I can't just stand around and wait for somethin'
'Cause I know there is nothing here that I know I can believe
There's a lady on the television telling me
That I can find my destiny if I look up to the stars
But I can see that it's right in front of me
It's here and it's clear
[chorus]
I don't wanna know if the world will end tomorrow
'Cause I feel just fine
I don't wanna know all the answers on this earth
All I need to know is that You're always right there
That's all I need to know
Well I know they say they've figured out the questions
But it's hardly ever mentioned that they always change their minds
The psychics on the phone are always selling me
The future they can see for me, well they can sell to someone else
'Cause I can see that it's right in front of me
It's here and it's clear
[chorus]
[bridge]
Everything we kow is nothing more than drops into an ocean
You're the only thing that never fades away
[chorus]
I said, "what time you get off?"
She said, "when you get me off"
I kinda laughed but it turned into a cough
Because I swallowed down the wrong pipe
Whatever that mean, you know old people say it so it sounds right
So I'm standing there embarrassed, if we were both in pairs
I would have grabbed her by the waist and kissed her, but
We in the middle of whole foods, and those foods
Ain't supposed to beef, but you'd think I hate tofu
Check-in line got rowdy, my vision got cloudy
I started seeing some circles like some Audi
Emblem, I'm hearing them say, come on man
Do this own your own time, get the hell on, man
I walked out, hm, I got bout
Half-way to my car when I heard shorty shout
"3000, forgot your credit card, smart move
By the way, my little sister loves your cartoon"
Well, here's my name and numb
If I ain't the one, lose it, if I am, use it
If a man chooses, and he can, does it
And he don't, don't take it personal, he might be might be swamped
With making mozzarella - no, making laws better
Cheese will come, believe me, I'm, never focused on the cash
Ask Mel Gibson, Jesus Christ, I'm bout the pass... ion
Tired, baby bring that thing back
You know where my heart at
Shorty, would you press some love
Cause I'm about to lose it
With the way you move it
It's been making me do it
Girl tell me what it do
I'll change the game for you
I'm a player, yes it's true, but...
Can I be for real?
This is how I feel
I'm in need of love
So let's dip up out of here
Oh, you just my type
Everything so right
And I just wanna chill
So let's dip up out of here
Let's dip up out of here
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...
She's fine too, but I want you...
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...
She's fine too, but I want you...
I'll admit it, this just ain't no game
These just ain't words that I'm spitting
If you could see that thoughts that's in my head
I'm tripping, I'm a player, it's true
But I'll change the game for you
Wanna see what it do, oooh...
Can I be for real?
This is how I feel
I'm in need of love
So let's dip up out of here
Oh, you just my type

She's fine too, but I want you...
Yeah, Nas be in the crib low, strip poling it
Cold Guinness, bitter taste, slim waist, I'm gon' hit it
We low-key baby, like a baritone
Apple computer, e-mail me to come scoop ya
Run through ya, undo ya bra, gimme medulla, uh
Ya cute as a movie star, in sin city, Hennessey, my love slave
Loving is pimping, no rest have, with none of 'em
I would leave every one of em, you just say it
Just leave it where it is, he ain't aware of sleep and dogs lie
But keep a sharp eye on him, cause I'm the wrong guy
To wanna put this four-five on em, let's get it on, ma
You got my nose wide open
You already locked down and rot down, but so delicious
If he get suspicious, bring up his old mistress
I ain't dry-snitching, but why should you be feeling bad
Cause I be killing that, huh?
Can I be for real?
This is how I feel
I'm in need of love
So let's dip up out of here
Oh, you just my type
Everything so right
And I just wanna chill
So let's dip up out of here
Let's dip up out of here...

Ah, ah, ah-oh, ah...

Got some tricks hidden up my sleeve at this magic show.
I got you riding on top of me, all round in and out you go.
See the stars came from within before I knew your name.
I was so curious, didn't know if you feel the same.
Just to see a smile on your face, I'll do almost anything.
Let's get serious, I don't want to play no games.
When it's times like these, I just gotta bring it on.
Reaching for your pleasure zone, tell me can you take it.

Girl since I was 13 I've been ready to break you off.
I've switched up my routine to something you never saw.
We've been through it all so here's my player's card.
Cause when I look into your eyes, I know it's real.
Spend my whole life tryna find a way to show you how I feel.
You're the only one on my mind and you know the deal.
Make you feel alright, girl you know I will.
When it's times like these, I just gotta bring it on.
Reaching for your pleasure zone, tell me can you take it.

Whatever it takes, girl you know that I'll do.
Listen here, my heart is the key I'll set you free.
Cause there's no escaping this love.

Life aint sweet
Damn shol aint peachyjus keep ya head up
(oh babe)
As I dig deep inside my soul
Look into my past
And all that I had through these glass windows
I find myself wanderin all alone
About the ways that yesterday
Changed the path I chose
Aint no tellin where I'd be
Dead or in the penetentiary
From shootouts wit my enemy
Squeeze until my clips empty
But would they give sin to me
By the hands that was lent to me
Know that it was meant to be
To take over this industry
Its goin down
Nomore gettin left behind
Its time to shine
Mind on my grind
Look
And only the Lord knows
If I dont succeed
Then my family's left out in the cold
So I gotta play my cards
Cause if I fold
No supersta
Expensive cars
Or designer clothes
Never feelin bad
Situations gettin sad
Gotta move on
Sun gone shine
Jus wait til mornin
Outta all the struggles
All the pain
All the hurt
Its alright
Gotta be strong
Time moves on
No matter what
When situations get bad
When times get sad
Gotta keep yo mind up
Gotta keep ya grind up
From 99
Never let it behind
Just gotta stay ahead of the race
Keep up my pace
It wont be long
When a feelinz all I can take
I see my heartbreak
Just makes me strong
No matter what nobdy say
I got rhymes to make
Im reachin for the throne
Cause I know that my yesterday
Been the best of dayz
Just take it slow
I know
N though Im young
Money dont grow on trees
Im only 18
But I done seen some shit
You know
Yea I run wild
Live the fast lane lifestyle
I cant help ima ghetto child
Its all good
Now I see
I'm here now
Reach 8 feet
You know
Aint gotta smell that piss in the project halls
I gotta new place to stay now nigga
But uh
Ima still focus
In the hood
Im comin back
Takin all yall niggaz wit me
This one for the radio
Don't make plans for dinner
I'm a put you up on the stove
And take off all of your clothes girl watch me cook
Until you get nice and tender
You ain't going no where
Tonight I'm holding you hostage
So bring it front and center we 'bout to get up
And I might mess up your make up
But I don't care how you look
'Cause I know I found winner
I hope your ready to run your victory lap
This is the year of the lover
Let's make a baby, let's do something crazy
Let's reach out and love one another
This is the year of the lover
Let's make a baby, let's do something crazy
Let's reach out and love one another
I'm a catch you in the shower while you dripping wet

How sexy is that?
Rub your teardrop, put your body on the counter
You gone say do that daddy, I'm gone say okay mama
Wrap you in a towel and bring you over to the bed

I'm a love you girl, I'm a love you baby
Oh, I just wanna love you
Ever wondered about the hurricane?
Ever see the anger in the rain, false
I think it's just the world crying for
Asking what the hell we dying for
But here's Lloyd, R. Kelly, miss Keri
And K'Naan, yo the shit is getting scary
They spend up all our money, yeah
On the rockets in the sky, ah, ah,
But they don't have a reason
So they generate a lie
To destruct us from the times
There's a hood in every city, yeah
From Compton to Bombay, yeah, yeah
When nobody likes to be there
The system found a way
That made them wanna stay
And I say, ah, da ri rap da ra ra, da ri rap da ra ra
Da ri rap da, yeah
I hate to see the whole world cry,
I hate to see the whole world cry
If it was up to me, I would wipe tears from your eyes
I hate to see the world cry
We need a plan, anybody please
So sick of this god damn earth
That I wish that I could hitch hike to heaven
And buy the god's studio and put in work
Playing down my melodies,
Get the whole world one song to sing
Cause hatred's got ourselves a pickle
A love costs 5 cents less than a nickel
I'm talking about 1... one love, one call up
Nobody's rich, nobody's poor
Nobody's less, nobody's more
Nobody's winning, nobody's loosing
No categories, we all music
If we can't come to see
If the whole world needs me
Then we can touch and agree
That we are the true enemies
And it makes me wanna say
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
I hate to see the whole world cry,
I hate to see the whole world cry
If it was up to me, I would wipe tears from your eyes
I hate to see the world cry
Looking in the mirror, seeking in the peace
Every day's constant battle
Between what's wrong and right
I just wanna live my life
Praise for the future
Is that we learn from our mistakes, oh yeah
Halfway into destruction
But it's not too late
To lay to make a change
So I'll say
Da ra rap da ra ra, da ra rap da ra ra
And I hate to see the whole world cry
I hate to see the world cry
I hate to see the whole world cry
If it was up to me, I would wipe tears from your eyes
I hate to see the world cry
I don't wanna see them cry
Somebody help me understand
Anybody got a plan, whoa, whoa
I hate to see the whole world cry
Streets on fire, burning
Every herd every city is hurting
I will wipe every tear, you she'd in
Cause I hate to see the whole world cry
I hate to see the whole world cry

Damn, darling, do change your oil

I don’t use a cordless, microphone, avoid em
They don’t feel real to me
Meaning real woman
Others built on me
You the primer on the lime bean green box
When I couldn’t afford a Ford
Clean sox scootin’ across the floor in your grandmama house
Hand on your mouth
You yap too much about the Penny-Ante
This mechanic’s so uncanny, X-men, X-men
Your ex boyfriend should thank me that I took you off his hands
Know I can bring another beach to the sand
And know I am well aware that you can bring a man to his knees
And get what you need without saying please
But can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat
And they put this man’s Grammy’s on the street?
What? Why so quiet?
Hate that all of our memories happened in a Hyatt?
You were perfect before you went on a diet
You was way thicker, you think I don’t remember
Shit, the magazine got to your head
Now somebody you don’t even know got you in bed
Betcha buddy dont even know you don’t like red
Or was it fuchsia, f-ck it, Our future is dead.

Heaven put an Angel at my side
With wings like shelter from the night
Hold me close for a little bit longer
Stay with me 'til the morning flight
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
'Cause they always fly away
Fly on angel go be free
Wont you come back home and dance(fu**) with me
Hold me close for a little bit longer
Until heaven calls you away from me
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Give me wings to fly away
Like Icarus I'm having a bad day
See your shadow on the sun
as you're flying far away
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels

Girl I need to know who you are
The Club is jumping

[Chorus]
[Young Jeezy]

Ain't nothing sweet in my sweet
See I start off slow, go deep
Got an uptown?, it's over

Yeh, Young be the boss
Everyday of the week I floss
Look off white rocks, no denim
Look off white drop, no rental
Yeah, top down in the winter
Say I ball too hard, Sportscenter
I'm in the club with my ice out
Start blowing up my iPhone
Like where ya at? where ya been?
What ya doing tonight, can you hit it again
From the back, while I'm on the scene
While you smoking blunts while ya drinking drinks
While ya other broads blowing up ya phone
While ya pulling my hair with ya Nike's on
J, what we do, what we do?
Look,, listen
You got them funny colors on, take it off

G-G-Game, Dogg Pound, everybody get down
Look, I nurture and breed
I ain't never gave a about a needs
And try to invade our town
I'ma lay 'em down, spray the and get out
Say goodbye to the '64, hello to the '6-trey
He ain't never seen hydraulics, look at his face
Up, down, now watch my scrape
Daz call Snoop, I'ma walk to get Dre
And bounce back, heat on the track
Dribble like Wade and bounce like Shaq
Throw a in the pot and watch it bounce right back
Like that, like that? Like that
You got them funny colors on, take it off
If you in the club with ice on, we takin' off
I thought you was a gangsta, you better shake it off
What? Sh-sh-shake it off or get on
We street connected, respected, I gets pathetic
When I did it, I must admit it, so go and rep it
Lil' homies around here constantly on smash mode
Lil' with that blowin' out your
How we give it, the culture that we live in
Fresh out the hospital or fresh out the prison
Real for life, the roots of the G tree
N.W.A., Dr. D R E
We not S T A R's, we don't put stars in our shoes
We put the whole car on the shoes
You don't wanna see my car on the news
I'll 'Set It Off' like Queen Latifah, red beam on the
Chippin' in traffic, dippin' the classic
Dippin' to classics, whoopin' that
It's hood, ready to get it, your can get it
'Cause I know she'll in less than a minute
Cuz, I'ma have to show him where the house at
Two milli situational attack
In the back with a sack, Cadillac all black
Like this and like that
Bang, broken like glass and plastic
Out on him with the mask and plastic
We got access to massive
Purchased last week, DPG, C
You got them funny colors on, take it off
If you in the club with ice on, we takin' off
I thought you was a gangsta, you better shake it off
What? Sh-sh-shake it off or get on
Here come them outta town what up, ?
What up, cuz? They don't even know what 2Pac first album was
Should I tell 'em, ? Nah, 'em, loc

Dash, brake, bounce and scrape
Run up on the '64, see the

From now on, wear a Bathing Ape hoodie, get stripped in the club
Like a in the club, watch him strip in the club
You like ice creams? Get a banana split in the club
No jewelry, you can't wear in the club
And that go for every in the club
So you better take it off 'fore you get in the club
Game and Dogg Pound along side sittin' on dubs, remember that
You got them funny colors on, take it off
If you in the club with ice on, we takin' off
I thought you was a gangsta, you better shake it off
Nobody cares (Trouble’s like a cancer, you gotta get it early if you don’t get it early it kills you)
Nobody cares (u gotta cut it out)
Nobody CARES, Capisce, not about your self your family or nothing important to you.
(Let me tell you something, when you’re alone late at night in the bed)
They come along like the great fighters once in a lifetime (you gotta do what ur heart tells you)
U think a gun makes you a tough guy.
I’ve seen more gus with guns wet the bed than other
guys without guns.
Yeah
Hell, yeah
I’d like to welcome everybody to this side of the world.
The Murder INC.
And I’d like to introduce to y’all,
My nigga,
ATL’s own
Lloyd
Ladies come step aside wit me, take this ride wit me to see the top of the globe.
Courtesy of Murder INC’s provider of privacy, nobody you know.
Yeah I know I brought the mob wit me, cuz obviously a lotta niggaz snitch on the low.
Just open your eyes and see what the blind’s eyes are told.
And I realize how niggaz fantasize and the unreal truth is sold to the ears of the
youth, while other try to provide their souls to the roof,
FUCK that, I’m bustin’ back through the roof.
Thumbtack to lie, hardtop to drop, show em how to rock and roll, and roll and rock, how
to breathe locate and open shop bringin’ everything I know I’ve got.
Ain’t no stopping what we doin’, feels like I’ve been waiting a while, spent a lotta time comin’ around.
So we gon’ keep on moving, cuz my time is here and now, right here and now.
Niggas come take this ride wit me, break some pot wit seed on the side of the road. Where
everyday different bodies to count, niggas is riding away, getting dropped into homes. Follow me
to armed robberies come hide wit me, and keep your eyes on watch patrol. Cuz they don’t know how
to ride but we be hotter so build up your chest. Getting wiped away better build up your rep.
Cuz my niggas cash checks from Hollis to the deck. Holla em at my nigga I gotta good connect.
I’ll be in front the complex polishing the Lex. Red rollin’ baguettes, Retro but fresh, nuff
money in stacks, the best of the best. When you holster the gun there’s no time u invest, you
just gotta do it for yourself.
Lookie here my little nigga, lemme talk to you for a minute, lemme tell you bout this business
and these cats who’s in it. ‘Bout these fake ass bitches and these bitch ass niggas. How to spot
the cowards from the killas. The flow is from the spinners, this industry is all smokin’ lyrics,
so we real street niggaz, our focus is to finish niggaz off. How often you report a nigga on, so
you must be the chosen one do it proudly son. Neva leave your residence without your gun, cuz
you’d rather be caught wit it than without one. Trust me, I’m like that old gangsta named Lucky,
niggas know that my hands are dirty but still can’t touch me. In this game if you’re clean you
can get all the money when you start getting dirty and they look at you funny. Cuz this a Bronx
tale like you know wit Sonny. And that flow don’t stop so they all call me. Keep your nose clean
when fuckin’ wit addicts and alcoholics. Cuz they runnin’ the hood for ya. That’s ATL for ya New
York’s no different, so’s LA and Miami, that’s hotter for riches. And keep your eyes on he
snitches and front-ass niggas that claim to be gangstas and sue as soon as you split em. It’s a
cold world, be grateful that the Lord’s forgiving and be happy that you ain’t dead or sitting in
prison,
My nigga.
Ladies come take this ride wit me.
Niggas come take a stride wit me.
Ladies come take this ride wit me.
Niggas come take a stride wit me.
Lloyd talking
Angels descending bring from above
Echos of mercy whispers of love
When hearts listens angels sing I
Never knew the feeling her love would bring.
Verse 1
Heaven put an angel at my side with
Wings like shelter in the night
Just hold me close for a little bit longer
Stay with me til the morning flight
Chorus
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Cause they always fly away
Verse 2
Fly away angel go be free
Won't you come back home and f**k with me
Hold me close for a little bit longer
Til heaven calls you away from me
Chorus
Bridge
Give me wings to fly away
Like Icarus I'm having a bad day
See your shadows on the sun
As you're flying far away
Chorus
(Intro – Wale)
I appreciate your resistance shawty
I wouldn't fuck with me either
All of me that is
(1st Verse – Lloyd)
Hey girl, I like what you got on
How bout you take it off
It's just you and me don't be shy
Baby show me what you're working with
Damn you're so fine
I've never seen a body so divine
What you waiting on, come and get it
Baby I just want a little bit, better yet
(Chorus – Lloyd)
Take all of me
All of me
Cause I just wanna give you my all
So can you take all of me
All of me
Your body's telling me what you want
So Ima give it all
(2nd Verse – Lloyd)
Where you going girl, don't run away
You was talking all that shit the other day
Bout how you can take it and how I wasn't ready
Baby I think your mistaken
Cause you're over there, I'm over here
Now you're looking scared, watch it disappear
Told you Ima come correct
And I ain't even break a sweat
Girl I ain't even finished yet
(Chorus – Lloyd)
Can you take all of me
All of me
Cause I just wanna give you my all
So can you take all of me
All of me
Your body's telling me what you want
So Ima give it all
(3rd Verse – Wale)
Hold up, Wale though
Love what she need
But a brova really just can't give in
But that's it what she bring
Got me thinking I can reconsider
Got me thinking she can be my Mrs
Got me thinking that I need to stop tripping
Smoke and talk about our pain
Drink until we in our feelings
Uh, what's rough for her is I like her when I like her
And she dislike the fact cause I like the fact that can't fight back
But she loves more
And she loves hard when she does so when Im on and on
Cause the last time I said the last to my old flame was a false alarm
I know I know I'm not the best
A monogamy would be a optimist
And let God protect as far as having you
Give me half of you, He can have the rest
No promises believe it's all just game girl
Cause if I go inside that I bet you go insane girl
(Chorus – Lloyd)
Take all of me (work)
All of me
Cause I just wanna give you my all
So can you take all of me
All of me
Your body's telling me what you want
So Ima give it all (x3)

Ye mar'ners all, as you pass by
Call in and drink if you are dry
Come spend, my lads, your money brisk
And pop your nose in a jug of this.
Oh mar'ners all, if you've half a crown,
You're welcome all for to sit down
Come spend, my lads, your money brisk
And pop your nose etc.
Oh tipplers all, as ye pass by
Come in and drink if you are dry
Come in and drink, think not amiss
And pop your nose etc.
Oh, now I'm old and can scarcely crawl
I've an old grey beard and a head that's bald
Crown my desire and fulfill my bliss
A pretty girl and a jug of this.
Oh when I'm in my grave and dead
And all my sorrows are past and fled
Transform me then into a fish
And let me swim in a jug of this.

WE'LL RANT AND WE'LL ROAR
My name it is Robert, they call me Bob Pittman;
I sail in the Ino with Skipper Tim Brown.
l'm bound to have Dolly or Biddy or Molly
As soon as l'm able to plank the cash down.
chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders,
We'Il rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we see bottom inside the two sunkers,
When straight through the Channel to Toslow we'll go.
l'm a son of a sea-cook, and a cook in a trader;
I can dance, I can sing, I can reef the main-boom;
I can handle a jigger, and cuts a big figure
Whenever I gets in a boat's standing room.
chorus:
If the voyage is good, then this fall I will do it;
I wants two pound ten for a ring and the priest,
A couple o' dollars for clean shirt and collars,
And a handful o' coppers to make up a feast.
chorus:
There's plump little Polly, her name is Goldsworthy,
There's John Coady's Kitty, and Mary Tibbo;
There's Clara from Bruley, and young Martha Foley,
But the nicest of all is my girl in Toslow.
chorus:
Farewell and adieu to ye fair ones of VaIen,
Farewell and adieu to ye girls in the Cove;
I'm bound to the westward, to the wall with the hole in,
I'II take her from Toslow the wild world to rove.
chorus:
Farewell and adieu to ye girls of St. Kyran's,
Of Paradise and Presque, Big and Little Bona,
l'm bound unto Toslow to marry sweet Biddy,
And if I don't do so, I'm afraid of her da.
chorus:
I've bought me a house from Katherine Davis,
A twenty-pound bed from Jimmy MeGrath;
I'll get me a settle, a pot and a kettle;
Then I'll be ready for Biddy - hurrah!
chorus:
O, I brought in the Ino this spring from the city,
Some rings and gold brooches for the girls in the Bay;
I bought me a case-pipe - they call it a meerschaum -
It melted like butter upon a hot day.
chorus:
I went to a dance one night at Fox Harbour,
There were plenty of girls, so nice as you'd wish;
There was one pretty maiden a-chawin' of frankgum
Just like a young kitten a-gnawing fresh fish.
chorus:
Then here is a heaIth to the girls of Fox Harbour,
Of Oderin and Presque, Crabbes Hole and Bruley.
Now let ye be jolly, don't be melancholy,
I can't marry all, or in chokey I'd be.
Recorded by Alan Mills (Folkways), A. L. LLoyd (Leviathan)
Note: (from Penguin Book of Canadian Folk Songs, Fowkes)
This rollicking tale of a young fisherman's love affairs is a
Newfoundland offshoot of the widely known English capstan shanty
'Spanish Ladies', which described the headlands sighted in a homeward
voyage through the English Channel. Pacific whalermen later re-made it
to tcll of the Talcahuano Girls, with a chorus: 'We'll rant and we'll
roar like true Huasco whalermen,'and Australian drovers sang their
farewell to the Brisbane Ladies. The Newfoundland version has borrowed
veses 2, 8, 9 and 10 from the whalers' song; the remaining verses
about Bob Pittman and his courtship were composed around 1875 by W. H.
LeMessurier who was editor of the Evening Herald and later deputy
minister of customs in St John's. James Murphy printed it in Old Songs
of Newfoundland in 1912; it appeared in all the Doyle booklets; and
Mrs. Greenleaf heard it from Mr LeMessurier himself, and also from Tom
White of Sandy Cove, whose version had acquired some variations.
Paradise, Oderin, Presque, Brule and St Kyran's are tiny fishing
villages along the west coast of Placentia Bay.

WE WILL ALL GO TOGETHER WHEN WE GO
When you attend a funeral
It is sad to think that sooner or
Later those you love will do the same for you
And you may have thought it tragic
Not to think of other adject-
Ives to think of all the weeping they will do
(But don't you worry)
No more ashes, no more sack cloth
And an arm band made of black cloth
Will someday never more adorn a sleeve.
For if the bomb that drops on you
Gets your friends and neighbors too
There'll be nobody left behind to grieve.
And we will all go together when we go,
What a comforting fact that is to know.
Universal bereavement,
An inspiring achievement,
Yes, we all will go together when we go.
We will all go together when we go.
All suffused with an incandescent glow.
No one will have the endurance
To collect on his insurance
Lloyds of London will be loaded when they go.
We will all fry together when we fry.
We'll be french fried potatoes bye and bye.
There will be no more misery
When the world is our rotisserie,
Yes, we all will fry together when we fry.
Down by the old maelstrom
There'll be a storm before the calm.
And we'll all bake together when we bake.
There'll be nobody present at the wake.
With complete participation,
In that grand incineration
Nearly three billion hunks of well-done steak.
We will all char together when we char.
And let there be no moaning at the bar.
Just sing out a Te Deum
When you see that I.C.B.M.
And the party will be "come as you are".
We will all burn together when we burn.
There'll be no need to stand and wait your turn.
When it's time for the fallout,
And Saint Peter calls us all out
We'll just drop our agendas and adjourn.
You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas
Go directly. Do not pass GO. Do not collect two hundred dolla's
And we will all go together when we go
Ev'ry Hottentot and ev'ry Eskimo
When the air becomes uranious
We will all go simultaneous
Yes we all will go together when we all go together
Yes we all will go together when we go

Saw ye owt of my love Ganning down on the waggon way
With his pocket full of money and his poke full of hay
Aye but he's a bonnie lad as ever you did see
Though he's sair frowsy freckled and he's blind of an e'e
There's ne'er a lad like my lad drives to a staith on Tyne
Though coal black on workdays, on holidays he's fine
My lad's a canny lad, he works down in the pit
He never comes to see me unless he wants a bit
With his silver in his hand and with love in his e'e

Under Her Apron
A pretty young girl all in the month of May,
She's gathering rushes just at the break of day,
But before she come home she had bore a little son,
And she rolled him underneath her aperon.
Well, she cried on the threshold and she come in at the door,
And she folded in her aperon that pretty babe she bore,
Says her father: "Where you been, my pretty daughter Jane,
And what's that you got underneath your aperon ?"
"Father, dear father, it's nothing," then says she,
"It's only my new gown and that's too long for me,
And I was afraid it would draggle in the dew,
So I rolled it underneath my aperon."
In the dead of the night when all were fast asleep,
This pretty little baby, oh, it begin to weep.
He says: "What little dicky bird is crying out so shrill
In the bedroom among the pretty maidens?"
"O father, dear father, it's nothing then," says she.
"It's a sweet little dicky bird that fluttered to my knee,
And l'll lay it to my breast and I'll build for it a nest,
So it don't wake too early in the May morning."
In the third part of the night, when all were fast asleep,
This pretty little baby, oh, it begin to weep.
"Oh, what's that baby that's crying out so clear
In the bedroom among the pretty maidens?"
"O father, dear father, it's nothing then" says she,
"It's just a pretty baby that someone give to me.
Let it lie, let it sleep this night along o' me,
And l'll tell you its daddy in the May morning."
"Oh, was it by a black man or was it by a brown,
Or was it by a ploughing-boy a-ploughing up and down,
That give you the stranger to wear with your new gown,
That you rolled up underneath your aperon ?'
"lt's neither by a black man, it's neither by a brown.
I got it from a sailor boy that ploughs the watery main.
lt was him give me the stranger to wear with my new gown,
That I rolled it underneath my aperon."
"Oh, was it in the kitchen got, or was it in the hall?
Was it in the cow-shed or up again the wall?
I wish I had a firebrand to burn the building down
Where you met with him on a May morning."
"It wasn't in the kitchen got, it wasn't in the hall.
It wasn't in the cow-shed nor up again the wall.
It was down by yonder spring where them little birds do sing
That I met him in the dew on a May morning."

HUSBAND WITH NO COURAGE IN HIM
As I walked out one summer's day
To view the fields and the lizards springing
I saw two maidens standing by
And one of them her hands was wringing
And all of her conversation was
My husband's got no courage in him,
Oh dear, no oh dear, no,
My husband's got no courage in him, oh dear, no
All sorts of meat I do preserve
All sorts of drink that's fitting for him
Both oyster pies and rhubarb too
But nothing will put courage in him
It's seven years I've made his bed
And six of them I've laid agin him
And this morn I rose with my maidenhead
Now that shows he's got no courage in him

This goes out to a very special girl
Everybody has someone special
And if you don't have anyone special, I feel sorry for you
But for those that do, this is for you
This is for my baby
This is for my girl
She's my lady
Yeah I love her
Wouldn't trade her for another
Good loving in this day and age is so hard to find
So sick of being lonely
I'm so proud to be able to say that she's all mine
My one and only
This is for the
The woman I was young
I carved her name in a stone
She'd have me sick to my stomach
If she never came home
But sometimes she can be real demanding
But we've got an understanding
She knows if ever I'm down
Her smile will keep me happy
Never felt another battle here with my pain
That's why I know it's impossible to break the chain
Cause she's giving me the toughest love
Talking about thicker than blood
I know that she'll defend me for whatever's beating me up
... all of a sudden turn shady
... sticks and stones they don't faze me
Long as I got her by my side
She'll be down to ride
She ain't taking nothing from anybody
Cause
This is for my baby
This is for my girl
She's my lady
Yeah I love her
Wouldn't trade her for another
Good loving in this day and age is so hard to find
So sick of being lonely
I'm so proud to be able to say that she's all mine
My one and only
This is for the
One that said that she will always stand by her man
Giving him someone to count on to be there in advance
And when the earth starts to quake, damn it vibrates
We'll be going out together if it all falls down
Even the times when my head feels like it's about to explode
Knowing that I can count on her to carry the load
I'll be like ohh what a feeling
Cause she's the realest
The Wanton Seed
As I walked out one spring morning fair,
To view the fields and take the air,
There I heard a pretty girl making her complain
And all she wanted was the chiefest grain, the chiefest grain.
And all she wanted was the chiefest grain.
I said to her," My pretty maid
Come tell me what you stand in need"
"Oh yes kind sir you're the man to do the deed,
For to sow my meadow with the wanton seed, the wanton seed,
For to sow my mewadow with the wanton seed."
Then I sowed high and I sowed low
And under the bush the seed did grow
It sprang up so accidentally without any weed
And she always remembered the wanton seed, the wanton seed
And she always remembered the wanton seed.

THE TWO MAGICIANS
The lady sits at her own front door
As straight as a willow wand
And by there come a lusty smith
With his hammer in his hand
Crying bide lady bide
For there's a nowhere you can hide
For the lusty smith will be your love
And he will lay your pride.
Why do you sit there lady fair
All in your robes of red
I'll come tomorrow at this same time
And have you in me bed
Crying . . .
Away away you coal black smith
Would you do me this wrong
For to think to have me maiden head
That I have kept so long
I'd rather I was dead and cold
And me body laid in the grave
Than a lusty, dusty, coal black smith
Me maiden head should have
Crying . . .
So the lady, she curled up her hand
And swore upon the mold
That he'd not have her maiden head
For all of a pot of gold.
But the blacksmith he curled up his hand
And he swore upon the mast
That he would have her maiden head
For the half of that or less
Crying . . .
So the lady she turned into a dove
And flew up into the air
Ah, but he became an old cock pigeon
And they flew pair and pair
Cooing . . .
So the lady she turned into a mare
As dark as the night was black
Ah, but he became a golden saddle
And he clumb upon to her back
Itching . . .
So the lady she turned into a hare
And ran all over the plane
Ah, but he became a greyhound dog
And ran her down again
Barking . . .
So the lady she turned into a fly
And fluttered up into the air
Ah, but he became a big, hairy spider
And dragged her into his lair
Spinning . . .
So the lady she turned into a sheep
Grazing on yon common
Ah, but he became a big horny ram
And soon he was upon her.
Bleating . . .
So she turned into a full dress ship
And she sailed all over the sea
Ah, but he became a bold captain
And aboard of her went he
Ordering . . .
So the lady she turned into a cloud
Floating away in the air
Ah, but he became a lightning flash
And zipped right into her
Shocking . . .
So she turned into a mulberry tree
A mulberry tree in the wood
Ah, but he came forth as the morning dew
And sprinkled her where she stood.
Dripping . . .
So the lady she ran into the bedroom
And she changed into a bed
Ah, but he became a green coverlet
And he gained her maiden head
And once she woke he took her so
And still he bad her bide
And the lusty smith became her love
For all of her mighty pride.

The Trooper's Horse
It's a landlady's daughter and her name was Nelly
And it's green, O green, the leaves do grow;
And she took sick with a pain in her belly
And it's ha, young man, do you tell me so?
It was a bold trooper rode up to the inn
He's perishing cold and wet to the skin.
The landlady put 'em in the bed together
To see if the one couldn't cure the tother.
"Oh, what's this here, and what's it called?"
"It's my fine nag and they call him Bald."
"Oh, what's this here, and what's it called?"
"It's my little well where you can water old Bald."
"Suppose my nag he should slip in?"
"Just catch on the grass that grows round the brim."
"How can you tell when he's had his fill?"
"He'll hang down his head, turn away from the well."
"How can you tell when your nag wants more?"
"He'll rear up his head and go pawin' 'round the door."

The Ship in Distress
You seamen bold that plough the ocean,
What dangers landsmen do never know.
The sun gangs over old England's nation;
No tongue can tell what you go through.
Through bitter storms in the height of battle,
Now mark you well what I do say,
Where thund'ring cannons loudly rattle
There's no back door to run away.
Of a merchant ship there was a captain;
A long time they bad been drove on sea.
The weather proved to them so uncertain,
Which brought them to extremity.
Nothing on board poor souls to nourish,
Nor to strengthen their feeble arms;
The whole ship's crew were nearly starving,
The men were nothing but skin and bone.
The cats and dogs how they did eat them,
Hunger proving to them severe;
Captain and men of one direction
They all of them went equal shares.
At length, at length the hour came on them,
The hour came on them most bitterly.
Poor fellows all stood titter totter,
Casting lots which of them should die.
The lot was cast on one poor fellow
Which had a wife at home on shore,
But to think of eating our fellow creatures
It was that which grieved us ten times more.
'l am willing to die,'this young man answered,
But to the topmast haste away,
For perhaps some help you may discover
While I unto the Lord do pray.'
The captain said he spied a vessel
About a league from us or more,
Some signals of distress were fired
And soon for us away she bore.
And soon we got provisions plenty,
And far from all such deadly fear,
To see such pity they took upon us
You could not help but shed a tear.
But now we're happy in old England
And far from all such deadly fear,
We'll drink unto our wives and sweethearts
And unto all we love so dear.
May God protect all jolly sailors
And all that plough the raging main;
May they never see no more such trials
And never know the like again.

The Sheep Stealer
I am a brisk lad but my fortune is bad,
And I am most wonderful poor.
Oh, indeed I intend my life for to mend
And to build a house down on the moor, brave boys
And to build a house down on the moor.
The farmer he do keep fat oxen and sheep
In a neat little nag on the downs.
In the middle of the night when the moon do shine bright,
There's a number of work to be done, brave boys,
There's a number of work to be done.
Then I'll roam all around in another man's ground,
And I'll take a fat sheep for my own.
Oh, I'll end his life by the aid of my knife
And then I will carry him home, brave boys,
And then I will carry him home.
My children will pull the skin from the ewe
And I'll be in a place where there's none.
When the constable do come, I'll stand with my gun
And swear all I have is my own, brave boys,
And swear all I have is my own.

cho:
Well, we chucked our flamin' wags off and we walked into the bar
And we called for rum and raspberry and a shilling each cigar;
But the girl that served the poison, she winked at Bill and I,
So we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
cho:
In a week the spree was over, and our check was all knocked down,
So we shouldered our Matildas and we turned our backs on town.
And the girls stood us a nobblers as we sadly said goodbye,
And we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
last cho:
Yes we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai,
The road to Gundagai, five miles from Boonabri;
And we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.

THE MOLECATCHER
In Wellington town at the sign of the plough
There lived a molecatcher, shall I tell you how?
Singing to rel i day fol di lie laddie lie laddie di day
He'd go a molecatching from morning to night
And a young fellow came for to play with his wife
The molecatcher jealous of this very same thing
He hid in the wash house to see him come in
He saw the young fellow come over the stile
Which caused the molecatcher so crafty to smile
He knocked on the door and thus he did say
"Where is your husband, good woman, I pray?"
"He's gone a-molecatching, you need never fear"
But little did she think the molecatcher was near
She went up the stairs and gave him the sign
And the molecatcher followed them quickly behind
And while the young fellow was up to his frolics
The molecatcher caught him right fast by his bollocks
The trap it squeezed tighter, which caused him to smile
Saying, "Here's the best mole that I've caught in a while"
"I'll make you pay dearly for tilling my ground
And the money it'll cop you no less than ten pound"
"Ten pound," says the young fellow, "That I don't mind
It only works out about tuppence a grind"
So come all you young fellows and mind what you're at
And don't get 'em caught in the molecatcher's trap

The Mermaid
One night as I lay on my bed,
I lay so fast asleep,
When the thought of my true love came running to my head
And poor sailors that sail on the deep.
As I sailed out one day, one day,
And being not far from land,
And there I spied a mermaid a-sitting on a rock
With a comb and a glass in her hand.
The song she sang, she sang so sweet,
But no answer at all could us make,
Till at last our gallant ship she tooked round about
Which made all our poor hearts to ache.
Then up stepped the helmsman of our ship
In his hand a lead and line;
All for to sound the seas, my boys, that is so wide and deep
But to hard rock or sand could he find.
Then up stepped the captain of our ship
And a well-speaking man is he,
He says," I have a wife, my boys, in fair Plymouth town
But this night a widow she will be."
Then up stepped the bosun of our ship
And a well-spoken man was he,
He says, "I have two sons, my boys, in fair Bristol town
And orphans I fear they will be.
And then up stepped the little cabin boy
And a pretty boy was he,
He says, "Oh I grieve for my own mother dear
Whom I shall nevermore see."
"Last night, when the moon shined bright
My mother had sons five,
But now she may look in the salt, salt sea
And find but one alive."
Call a boat, call a boat, my fair Plymouth boys
Don't you hear how the trumpets sound?
For the want of a long-boat in the ocean we were lost
And most of our merry men drowned.

The Liverpool Judies
From Liverpool to 'Frisco a-rovin' I went,
For to stay in that country was my good intent.
But drinkin' strong whiskey like other damn fools,
Oh, I soon got transported back to Liverpool, singin'
Roll, roll, roll bullies, roll!*
Them Liverpool judies have got us in tow.
(I shipped on the Alaska) (A smart Yankee packet) lies out in the Bay,
A-waitin' a fair wind to get under way.
With all of her sailors so sick and so sore,
They'd drunk all their whiskey and can't get no more.
Oh, here comes the mate in a hell of a stew.
He's lookin' for work for us sailors to do.
Oh, it's ``Fore tops'l halyards!'' he loudly does roar,
And it's lay aloft Paddy, ye son-o'-a-whore.!
One night of Cape Horn I shall never forget,
'Tis oft-times I sighs when I think of it yet.
She was divin' bows under with her sailors all wet,
She was doin' twelve knots wid her mainskys'l set.
And now we are haulin' way on to the Line,
When I thinks of it now, sure, we had a good time.
Them sea-boys box-haulin' them yards all around
For to beat that flash packet called the Thatcher MacGowan.
And now we've arrived in the Bramleymoor Dock,
And all them flash judies on the pierhead do flock.
The barrel's run dry and our five quid advance,
And I guess it's high time for to git up and dance.
Here's a health to the Captain wherever he may be,
A bucko on land and a bully at sea,
But as for the chief mate, the dirty ol' brute (fruit),
We hope when he dies straight to hell he'll skyhoot.

The Coast of Peru
Come all ye young fellows that's bound after sperm
Come all ye young fellows that's rounded the Horn
Our captain has told us, and we hope it will come true
That there's plenty of sperm whales on the coast of Peru.
We have weathered the Horn, and are now on Peru,
We are all of one mind and endeavor to do,
Our boats are all rigged and our masthead all manned,
Our riggin' rove right and our signals all planned.
The first whale we saw, it was late in the day
The captain come up and these words he did say:
"Get into your hammocks and quiet there be
We'll see him in the morning close under our lee."
Next morning at daybreak about five o'clock,
The man at the masthead cried "Yonder she spouts!
Where away does she lay?" and the answer from aloft
"Two points on our lee bow and about three miles off."
Then it's call up all hands, and be of good cheer;
Put your tubs in your boats, boys, have your bow lines all clear.
Sway up your boats now, jump in you boat's crew
Lower away now lower away, my brave fellows, do.
Our waist boat got down and of course got the start,
Lay on, captain Bunker, I'm hell for to dart.
Now bend to your oars, boys, and make your boat fly
But one thing we dread of, be clear of his eye.
Now the chief mate he struck him, and the whale he went down
And the captain pulled up and he tried to bend on,
But the whale began to vomit and blood for to spout,
And in less than ten minutes we had him fin out.
We towed him alongside,and with many a shout
We soon cut him in, and began to try out.
Now our whale she is tried and likeways stowed down
She is better to us boys than five hundred pounds.
Here's a health to all whalemen, boys, drink it down, do
Likewise to the Bengal and our whaleship's crew.
All you that want money, I would have you to go
On the coast of Peru where the sperm whales do blow.

The Bold Black and Tan
Says Lloyd-George to Macpherson, "l give you the sack,
To uphold law and order you haven't the knack,
I'll send over Greenwood, a much stronger man,
And fill up the Green Isle with the bold Black and Tan."
He sent them all over to pillage and loot
And burn down the houses, the inmates to shoot .
" To re-conquer Ireland, he said, is my plan
With Macready and Co. and his bold Black and Tan."
The town of Balbriggan they've burned to the ground
While bullets Like hailstones were whizzing around;
And women left homeless by this evil clan.
They've waged war on the children, the bold Black and Tan.
From Dublin to Cork and from Thurles to Mayo
Lies a trail of destruction wherever they go;
With England to help and fierce passions to fan,
She must feel bloody proud of her bold Black and Tan.
Ah, then not by the terrors of England's foul horde,
For ne'er could a nation be ruled by the sword;
For our country we'll have yet in spite of her plan
Or ten times the number of bold Black and Tan.
We defeated Conscription in spite of their threats,
And we're going to defeat old Lloyd-George and his pets;
For Ireland and Freedom we're here to a man,
And we'll humble the pride of the bold Black and Tan.

An' hoy them doon the pit o' hell.

Rounding the Horn
The gallant frigate, Amphitrite, she lay in Plymouth Sound,
Blue Peter at the foremast head for she was outward bound;
We were waiting there for orders to send us far from home;
Our orders came for Rio, and thence around Cape Horn.
Next day, we weighed our anchor, boys, and waved goodbye all
round,
And some of us we knew would never more see Plymouth Sound;
But still our hearts were light and gay, and when all was taut and
snug
We foraged out the bumboat grog and each man filled his mug.
We drank success to Plymouth girls, to Kate and Poll and Sue,
And arguing o'er their various charms struck up a fight or two.
Jim Crab he landed Bonny Nodge a clout that made him snort,
And to this day his nose has got a heavy list to port.
When we arrived at Rio we prepared for heavy gales;
We set up all our rigging, boys, and bent on all new sails.
From ship to ship they checred us as we did sail along,
And wished us pleasant weather in rounding of Cape Horn.
While beating off Magellan Strait it blew exceeding hard;
Whilst shortening sail two gallant tars fell from the topsail yard.
By angry seas the ropes we threw fiom their poor hands were torn
And we were forced to leave them to the sharks that prowl around
Cape Horn.
When we got round the Horn, my boys, we had some glorious days
And very soon our killick dropped in Valparaiso Bay.
The pretty girls came down to us; I solemnly declare
They are far before the Plynouth girls with their long and curly
hair.
They love a jolly sailor when he spends his money free;
They'll laugh and sing and merry, merry be, and have a jovial
spree.
And when our money is all gone they won't on you impose,
They are not like the Plynouth girls that'll pawn and sell your
clothes.
Farewell to Valparaiso, farewell for a while,
Likewise to aII the Spanish girls all on the coast of Chile;
And if ever l live to be paid off l'll sit and sing this song:
"God bless those pretty Spanish girls we left around Cape Horn."

Prince Heathen
Young Margaret sat in a tower high
And she's as pale as a milk white swan
When she saw a shadow on the plain
Come betwixt her and the sun.
"Oh, mother, is it a thundercloud
Or a flight of ravens in the air,
Or a black army with a silver flag
And a ragged man amongst them there?"
"Oh, daughter, go run in your little yard
And bid adieu to your flowers so gay.
For yonder comes Prince Heathen's men
And I fear they're coming to take you away."
In there come Prince Heathen then, saying
"Good day mother-in-law to you.
And where will l find that sweet little bride
With her hands as soft as morning dew?"
Young Margaret locked her bower door
But his men soon made the hinges spring
And in there come Prince Heathen then
And give to her a gay gold ring.
Back at him the ring she flung
She cries "Of you I have no fear.
I'll call you wolf-hound seven times
Rather then call you husband dear."
He swore then, by her yellow hair,
He'd make her weep and call him dear.
He's taken her in his two dark arms,
And laid her on the cold stone floor.
And when he set her free again,
Her maidenhead from her he's ta'en:
"Ha ha, bonny maid, will you weep now?"
"You heathenish dog, nor yet for you."
He's cast her down in a cabin of stone
Where forty locks did hang thereto.
"Ha ha, bonny maid, will you weep now?"
"You heathenish dog, nor yet for you."
"Come, give my lady of the salt, salt meat,
And bitter vinegar for her brew,
"Ha ha, bonny maid, will you weep now?"
"You heathenish dog, nor yet for you."
Prince Heathen down from the mountains came
Where he'd been hunting with his armoured men.
He came unto this fair young maid
All in the prison where she is laid.
"A drink, a drink, Prince Heathen" she said.
"Even if it's from the muddy well pool."
"Never a drink! Will you weep now?"
"You heathenish dog, nor yet for thee."
He's taken her by her yellow hair,
And tied it to his horse's tail.
He's dragged her through the bushes and briars
That grow so thick all on the plain
"Ride slower, slower, Prince Heathen" she says
"Already the blood has filled me shoe".
"Ha ha, bonny maid, will you weep now?"
"You heathenish dog, nor yet for you."
He shortened stirrups and on he flew,
And with her body he's harrowed the road.
Her silken skirt in tatters tore,
Her silken blouse was spattered with blood.
"Ride slower, slower, Prince Heathen," she says
"For the road it sorely hurts my knee".
"Ha ha, bonny maid, will you weep now?"
"You heathenish dog, nor yet for thee."
He shortened stirrups and on he flew.
He's dragged her through the briar and thorns.
Young Margaret gave a pitiful cry,
And there she's had her little babe born.
"Oh how can I wrap me sweet little babe
Seeing as I've nothing to roll him in?"
He give to her his saddle blanket
"That'll roll him from cheek to chin".
As she took the blanket from his hand
Tears down her cheeks they trickling run.
"Ha ha, bonny maid, will you weep now?".
"You heathenish dog, nor yet for you."
"I'm weeping for me own little son;
Your blanket's too rough to roll him in,
Ever and alas, the day I rue
That ever I met such rogues as you!"
He says "Go wash my baby in the milk,
And dress my lady in the silk;
When hearts are breaking, hands must bow,
And well I love my lady now".
She says "When violets bloom on the window-pane
And roses grow on the kitchen floor,
It's then that I'll return again
And be your bride forevermore".

Oxford City (Jealous Lover)
In Oxford City lived a lady
And she was beautiful and fair
Oh, she was courted by a sailor
And he did love her as his dear
He said, "My dear, let us get married
Let us now no longer stay
I'll work for you both late and early
If you my wedded bride will be"
The girl she loved him, but at a distance
She did not seem to be quite so fond
He said, "My dear, you seem to slight me
I'm sure you love some other man"
He saw her dancing with some other
A jealous thought came to his mind
And to destroy his own true love
He gave to her a glass of wine
So soon she drank it, so soon she felt it
"Oh hold me fast, my dear," said she
"Is it that glass of wine you gave me
Takes my innocent life away?"
"That glass of wine now which I gave you
That glass of wine did strong poison hide
For if you won't be my true lover
You'll never be no other man's bride
"That glass of wine which now I gave you
It's I have drinked of the same," he said
"So in each other's arms we'll die together
To warn young men of jealousy"
"Oh hark, oh hark, the cocks are crowing
The daylight now will soon appear
And into my cold grave I'm going
And it's you, Willie, who called me here"

ONE NIGHT AS I LAY ON MY BED
One night as I lay on my bed
I dreamed about a pretty maid.
I was so distressed, I could take no rest,
Love did torment me so.
So away to my true love I did go.
But when I came to my love's window,
I boldly called her by her name,
Saying: "It was for your sake I'm come here so late
Through this bitter frost and snow.
So it's open the window, my love, do."
"My mum and dad they are both awake,
And they will sure for to hear us speak.
There'll be no excuse then but sore abuse,
Many a bitter word and blow.
So begone from my window, my love, do."
"Your mum and dad they are both asleep,
And they are sure not to hear us speak,
For they're sleeping sound on their bed of down
And they draw their breath so low.
So open the window, my love, do!"
My love arose and she opened the door,
And just like an angel she stood on the fioor.
Her eyes shone bright like the stars at night,
And no diamonds could shine so.
So in with my true love I did go.

Oh Shepherd, Oh Shepherd or The Sheep are in the Wilderness
Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home
Will you come home, will you come home?
Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home
To your breakfast in the morning
What have you got for my breakfast...
If I do come home this morning?
Bacon and beans, a bellyful...
If you do come home this morning
My sheep they are all in the wilderness...
So I cannot come home this morning
Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home...
To your dinner this morning
What have you got for my dinner
If I do come home this morning
Pudding and beef, a bellyful
If you do come home this morning
My sheep they are all in the wilderness
So I cannot come home this morning
Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home
To your supper tonight
What have you got for my supper
If I do come home tonight
Bread and cheese, a bellyful
If you do come home tonight
My sheep they are all in the wilderness
So I cannot come home tonight
Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home
To your lodging tonight
What have you got for my lodgings
If I do come home tonight
A clean pair of sheets and a pretty lass
If you do come home tonight
Oh, I'll drive my sheep out of the wilderness
And I will come home tonight

NINE TIMES A NIGHT
A handsome young sailor to London came down
He'd been paid off his ship in old Liverpool town
They asked him his name and he answered them, "Quite
I belong to a family called nine times a night"
Well a handsome young widow who still wore her weeds
Her husband had left her his money and deeds
Resolved she was on her conjugal rights
And to soften her sorrows with nine times a night
So she's called to her serving maids Ann and Amelia
To keep a watch out for this wonderful sailor
And if ever he happened to chance in their sight
To bring her fond tidings of nine times a night
She was favored by fortune the very next day
These two giggling saw him coming their way
They've rushed up the stairs full of amorous delight
Crying, "There comes that sailor with his nine times a night"
She's jumped out of bed and she's pulled on her clothes
And straight to the hall door like lightening she goes
She's looked him once over and gave him a smack
And the bargain was struck: no more sailing for Jack
The wedding was over, the bride tolled the bell
Jack trimmed her sails five times and that pleased her well
She vowed to herself she was satisfied quite
But she still gives sly hints about nine times a night
Says Jack, "My dear bride, you mistook me quite wrong
I said to that family I did belong
Nine times a night's a bit hard for a man
I couldn't do it myself, but me sister she can"
recorded by Frankie Armstrong who learned it from AL Lloyd

NEW SOUTH WALES
cho: Here we are in New South Wales
Shearing sheep as big as whales, with
Leather necks and jaggy tails
And hides as tough as rusty nails.
When shearing comes, lay down your drums
Step to the boards you brand-new chums
With the rattum-rattum-rub-a-dub-dub
We'll send you back on the lime juice tub.
The brand new chums and cappy sons
Fancy they're the greatest guns.
Fancy they can shear the wool
But the beggars can only tear and pull.
Though you live beyond your means
Your daughters wear no crinolines;
Nor are they bothered by boots or shoes
But live wild in the bush with the kangaroos.
Oh it's home I'd like to be
Far from the bush and back country
Sixteen thousand miles I've come
To spend my life as a shearing bum.

Damn, darling, do change your oil
I'm your number fan belt they are not important
I don't use a cordless, microphone, avoid em
They don't feel real to me
Meaning real woman
Others built on me
You the primer on the lime bean green box
When I couldn't afford a Ford
Clean sox scootin' across the floor in your grandmama house
Hand on your mouth
You yap too much about the Penny-Ante
This mechanic's so uncanny, X-men, X-men
Your ex boyfriend should thank me that I took you off his hands
Know I can bring another beach to the sand
And know I am well aware that you can bring a man to his knees
And get what you need without saying please
But can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat
And they put this man's Grammy's on the street?
What? Why so quiet?
Hate that all of our memories happened in a Hyatt?
You were perfect before you went on a diet
You was way thicker, you think I don't remember
Shit, the magazine got to your head
Now somebody you don't even know got you in bed
Bet your buddy don't even know you don't Like Red
Or was it fuchsia, fuck it, our future is dead.

McCassery
Kind friends take warning by my sad tale
As I lay here in Strangeways Gaol
My thoughts, my feelings, no tongue can tell
As I am listening to the prison bell.
When I was seventeen year of age
Into the army I did engage.
I did enlist with a good intent
To join the Forty Second Regiment.
To Fullwood Barracks I did go
To serve some time at that depot.
From trouble there I necer was free
Because my captain took a dislike to me.
When I was stationed on guard one day
Some children came near me to play,
My officer from his quarters came
And ordered me to take their parents' name.
My officer's orders I did fulfill
I took their name against my will.
I took one name instead of three
"Neglect of Duty" was the charge against me.
In the orderly-room next morning I did appear
My C.O. refused my plea to hear,
Anf quickly he had signed my crime
And to Fullwood Barracks I was then confined.
With a loaded rifle I did prepare
To shoot my captain on the barrack square;
It was Captain Neill that I meant to kill,
But I shot my colonel against my will.
I done the deed, I shed his blood,
And at Liverpool Assizes my trial stood;
The judge he says, "McCassery
Prepare yourself for the gallows-tree."
I have no father to take my part
I have no mother to break her heart,
I have one friend, and a girl is she
Would lay down her life for McCassery.
In Liverpool City this young man was tried
In Strangeways, Manchester, his body lies.
And all you young soldiers who pass his grave,
Pray: Lord have mercy on McCassery.

You can never do it like me,

[Verse 1:]
Been a workaholic,
Since my mama burnt me,
Since I was a shawty,
Fighting around in the nursery,
Never new my father,
So I grew up early,
I never had no bussiness
Like a nigga in his thirty's.
Now that money ain't a problem,
Livin' like we moppin',
Came up out the boulevard,
And that's why we go hard,
Cause once upon a time we were at the bottom,
And manI really hated being on the bottom,
Up, up in that third wall,
I would write songs,
About the day I could turn the lights on,
That I could see the day,
When I could perform,
In front of these crowds,
Look at me now,
That's why I say.
[Chorus:]
You can look at my life,

Got the whole wide world in my hand,
I'm at the top now,
and I did it my way,
Told them haters hit the highway,
Said I remember those days
I would write songs,
About the day I could turn the lights on,
That I could see the day,
when I could perform,
In front of these crowds,
Look at me now
That's why I say
[Chorus:]
You can look at my life,

Every time you come up around me you give me this feeling
A feeling I've never experienced, girl I don't know much about it
But I'm such a curious guy let's give love a try
So incredible, the way I feel inside
No need to try and hide it
Could it be your smile thats got me feeling
So invincible girl you're so incredible, incredible
I know you heard it all before
But believe me when I say most of these chicks are boring
Compared to you there not the same
You're all I ever need more that's why I ain't playing no games
Throwing away my compass I'm done explorin'
Girl, let's fly away, search the globe and the seven seas
Tryna find the joy that she brings
Love is blind but truly I can see that she's the one for me
Every time you come up around me you give me this feeling
A feeling I've never experienced and I don't know much about it
But I'm such a curious guy let's give love a try
So incredible, the way I feel inside
No need to try and hide it
Could it be your smile that got me feeling
So invincible girl you're so incredible, incredible
Can't stop thinking 'bout you baby
You're on my mind like every day'
'Cause when I'm alone
It hits me that we were meant to be
See girl no ordinary guy
Nothing more that I can say that's why I can't let you get away
Girl you're so fly and only a fool would let a girl like you pass by
You're the missing link in my life, so baby be mine, mine
So incredible, the way I feel inside
No need to try and hide it
Could it be your smile that got me feeling
So invincible girl you're so incredible, incredible
So incredible, the way I feel inside
No need to try and hide it
Could it be your smile that got me feeling
Now see it was Monday afternoon
Very first day of school
Back of the class makin’ girls laugh
Teacher’s mad ‘cause I’m cuttin’ a fool
I’m just doin’ what I usually do
Errything’s cool, chillin’ with the crew
Sayin’ "finally, the bell’s bouta ring"
That’s when this new student walked in the room
My jaw dropped, I felt my heart stop
She's flaw to flaw
This girl’s so raw
So this girl got me hooked like a bra
Like climax, man I paused
See this girl is sick like the flu
Wish I knew who she was
She's hot like curry, my vision is blurry
But why should I worry
‘Cause I’m a G
Can’t let her get to me
But her voice sounds sweeter than a symphony
But I know, know that eventually
She’ll find someone else and forget of me
But I’m a G
(I’m a G)
I’m a G
(I’m a G)
So what could it be
(What could it be)
Now later on got home set down my bags
Got homework, chores: need to take out trash
But see this girl’s got me all off task
My hearts beaten fast who could I ask?
Got the phone called Tez
He said "Lloyd what’s crackin’?"
I said "Dawg you won’t e’en believe what happened."
"I’m chillin’ and this girl walked up in the class and
Swear she look just like Janet Jackson
So should I write a letter to her
Or should I send a messenger
I tried to vibe and connect with her
But I didn’t have enough guts to step to her
And I really want the best of her
But can I get the rest of her?"
So he told me "Lloyd don’t sweat it."
And I said "You’re right. Forget it."
Because I’m a G
Can’t let her get to me
But her voice sounds sweeter than a symphony
But I know, know that eventually
She’ll find someone else and forget of me
But I’m a G
(I’m a G)
I’m a G
(I’m a G)
So what could it be
(What could it be)
Oh yeah
[Verse1]
I know what cha' used to.
And I can show you something much betta'
(See girl I know)
He used to abuse you
He only use to get on my level.

I can change your life
If you let me, I can do it
I know just what you need
I can change your life
I can make you happy girl if you let me
I'll make your puzzle complete
I can change your life.
[Verse2]
I know just what you need and
Let me provide it
There's no need to fight this thinkin' so
Cause as long as I'm breathin'
You can believe it
Goin' down on everything I love
I wanna be I wanna be eh
I wanna be I wanna be eh eh
Definite, permanent, perfect with, with you
[Chorus)
I can change your life
If you let me, I can do it
I know just what you need
I can change your life
I can make you happy girl if you let me
I'll make your puzzle complete
I can change your life.
Yeah

I got plans for you, and me
This where you should be

Heave Away, Me Johnnies
Now Johnny was a rover, and today he sailed away
Heave away, me Johnnies. Heave away -- away!
Says she, "I'll be yer sweetheart, dear, if ye will only stay"
And away, me bully boys, we're all bound to go.
Sometimes we sail for Liverpool, sometimes we're bound for France;
But now we're bound for New York town to give the girls a chance.
Our advance note's in our pocket, boys, it sure will take us far
And now a cruise down Lime Street, boys, and to the American bar.
In two days time we'll be outward bound, and down the Mersey we'll clip
The gals'll all be waiting, boys, when we get back next trip.
The Peter's flying at the fore, the pilot's waiting the tide
And soon we'll be bound out again, bound for the other side.
And when we're homeward bound again, our pockets lined once more
We'll spend it all with the gals, me boys, and go to sea for more.
So gaily let your voices ring, me bullies heave and bust
'Taint no use in caterwauling; growl ye may, but go ye must.

See every time we get together, man
It's what you call, one of those things, yeah
Young Goldie, AD, if you ain't tryna let her go
You better let her know, B street
You know they jockin', but I don't
Really give a damn what they's in for
'Cause what we had, was special
And enough to make me never wanna leave home
Maybe you're right and I'm wrong
I was too young 'n' dumb to notice
I know it looks bad but we don't
Have to deal with our problems alone
Now that I'm here, so would you stop cryin'?
Have no fear 'cause I'ma start tryin'
Girl, it's so clear, without you I'm dyin'
No, I can't let it end, so girl, I'm checkin' in
Can somebody call the doctor?
Shawty tryna give me a heart attack
Can somebody call the doctor?
And prescribe me somethin'
That'll show me how to act
If she's gone, woah, woah
If she's gone, woah, woah
I won't, I can't go on, no
When you left, girl, it felt like
My heart stopped beating
And my lungs stopped breathin'
And, baby, you're the reason
I've got to do right, the truth is that I
I ain't worth a damn without you
Just wanna take the time to slow it down
And cherish every moment that you're around
Let me change your mind about me now
And show you what my love is about
Now that I'm here, stop cryin'?
Have no fear 'cause I'ma start tryin'
That it's okay, without you I'm dyin'
And I can't let it end, so I'm checkin' in
Can somebody call the doctor?
Shawty tryna give me a heart attack
Can somebody call the doctor?
And prescribe me somethin'
That'll show me how to act
If she's gone, woah, woah
(What do I do?)
If she's gone, woah, woah
(I don't know)
I can't go on, no
(Please, don't go)
Okay, first time I met her, I remember it like yesterday
I was in my old school, she was in the Escalade
Pulled off on the exit, then I pulled up next to her
No time for flexin now, I knew I had to get next to her
All black she love shades, classy as she wanna be
Could tell how I'm jockin' she could have me if she wanted me
Now that I got her, I'ma need a doctor if she leave me
Girl, I need for you to know, I need you, baby
Can somebody call the doctor?
Shawty tryna give me a heart attack
Can somebody call the doctor?
And prescribe me somethin'
That'll show me how to act
If she's gone, woah, woah
If she's gone, woah, woah
This is it, hey, oh yeah
I can't remember when I met you
You had all of my homies talkin' 'bout you
And I thought it'd be cool if I got at you
So we can spend a 'lil time, I can get to know you, tell me ya name
I'm beginnin' to see the more we hang together
Baby girl I like you 'cause you're better
Than any average chick that I was rollin' wit
I knew it was love at first sight
I never met a girl like you before
I can count on you whenever I need to take it slow
And you'll be taking me up up and away we go
Ya got my eyes so low where they damn near closing
And ey Hazel, I like you, can't see myself without you
My sweet Hazel 'cause I think I'm in love, I'm in love
Ey Hazel I like you, can't see myself without you
My sweet Hazel, girl, I think I'm in love, I'm in love
Multiple times, people be tellin' me to let ya go
But tha bond I got witchu is stronger than they even know
And just to prove it to ya girl ya know I love ya so much
I hit tha corner store for you and scrape tha guts out a dutch
It's like tha things you say to me when I'm feelin' hurt
Ya pick me up when I go through it that's why I put you first
When everybody be constantly stressin' it worse
You tha one that I come running to, to ease my nerves
And I never met a girl like you before
I can count on you whenever I need to take it slow

Haul Away For Rosie
Were you ever down on the Eastern Shore,
It really is a treat, Oh!
Way, haul away, we'll haul away for Rosie
Way, haul away, we'll haul away for Rosie, Oh.
Where the Baltimore whores in their purple drawers
Come runnin' out to greet you.
Way, haul away, we'll haul away for Rosie
Way, haul away, we'll haul away for Rosie, Oh.
Oh, when I was a little boy
My mother often told me;
That If I didn't kiss the girls
My lips would all get mouldy.
I sailed the seas for seven years
Not knowin' what I was missin';
Then I trimmed my sails before the gales
And started in a-kissin'.
Well, first I had an Irish gal,
Her name was Kitty Brannigan;
She stole me boots, she stole me clothes
She pinched me plate and pannikin.
And then I got a German girl
And she was fat and lazy,
And then I got a New York girl
She damn near drove me crazy.
And then I got a Frenchie girl
She took things free and aisy;
But now I have an English girl
An' sure she is a daisy.
So harken while I sing to you
About my darlin' Nancy;
She's copper-bottomed, clipper-built
And just my cut and fancy.
Well, once in my life I married a wife
And Damn! but she was lazy;
She never worked a day in her life,
Which damn near drove me crazy.
She stayed out all night, a Hell of a sight!
And where do you think I found 'er?
Behind the pump, the story goes,
With forty men around 'er.
You call yerself a second mate,
An' cannot tie a bowline;
You cannot even stand up straight
When the packet she's a rollin'.

Dumiama Dingiama Dumiama Day
A sailor was walking, on a bright summer's day
A squire and his lady were making their way
When the sailor he heard the squire say
"Tonight with you I mean to stay"
And the dumiama dingiama dumiama day.
"You must tie a string around your finger
With the other end of the string hanging out the winder,
And I'll come by, and pull the string
And you must come down and let me in,
With my dumiama dingiama dumiama day."
Says Jack to himself, "Why shouldn't I try
And see if a poor sailor can win such a prize"
So he went by and pulled the string
The lady came down and she let old Jack in
With his dumiama dingiama dumiama day.
The squire came by. He was whistling a song;
Thinking in his heart there would nothing go wrong,
But when he got there, no string could be found
And so all his hopes were dashed to the ground
And his dumiama dingiama dumiama day.
The lady woke up, it was just turning light
She jumped out of bed in a terrible fright!
For there was Jack in his tarry old shirt
Behold! his face was all covered with dirt
And his dumiama dingiama dumiama day.
"Oh what do you mean, you saucy sailor
To creep into a lady's chamber and steal her treasure?"
"Oh no," says Jack, "I just pulled the string
And you came down and let me in
And my dumiama dingiama dumiama day."
"Beg pardon," says Jack, "Have pity I say.
I'll steal away very quiet at the dawn of the day."
"Oh no!" says the lady, "Don't go too far
For I never will part from my jolly Jack tar
And his dumiama dingiama dumiama day.

And know I am well aware that you can bring a man to his knees

But can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat
And they put this man's Grammy's on the street?
What? Why so quiet?
Hate that all of our memories happened in a Hyatt
You were perfect before you went on a diet
You was way thicker, you think i don't remember
Shit, the magazine got to your head

Corpus Christi Carol
Down in yon forest there stands a hall,
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring;
It's covered all over with purple so tall
And I love my Lord Jesus above any thing.
In that hall there stands a bed,
It's covered all over with scarlet so red.
At the bedside there lies a stone
Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon.
Under that bed there runs a river
The one hald runs water, the other runs blood.
At the foot of the bed there grows a thorn
Which ever blows blossom sinc He was born.
Over that bed the moon shines bright,
Denoting our Saviour was born this night.

COAL OWNER AND PITMAN'S WIFE
by William Hornsby
A dialog I'll tell you as true as my life
Between a coal owner and a poor pitman's wife
As she was a traveling all on the highway
She met a coal owner and this she did say
Derry down, down, down derry down
Good morning Lord Firedamp, this woman she said
I'll do you no harm, Sir, so don't be afraid
If you'd been where I'd been the most of my life
You wouldn't turn pale at a poor pitman's wife
Then where do you come from, the owner he cries
I come from Hell, the woman replies
If you come from hell, then tell me right plain
How you contrived to get out again
Aye the way I got out, the truth I will tell
They're turning the poor folk all out of Hell
This to make room for the rich wicked race
For there is a great number of them in that place
And the coal owners' selves is the next on command
To arrive into Hell, as I understand
For I heard the old Devil say as I came out
The coal-owners all had received their rout
Then how does the old Devil behave in that place
Oh Sir, he is cruel to the rich wicked race
He is far more uncrueller than you can suppose
Even like a mad bull with a ring through his nose
Good woman, says he, I must bid you farewell
You give me a dismal account about Hell
If this be all true that you say unto me
I'll be home like a whippet and with my poor men agree
If you be a coal owner, Sir, take my advice
Agree with your men and give them a good price
For and if you do not, I know very well
You'll be in great danger of going to Hell

They set your riggin' all afire!
Them Vallipo girls puts on a show,
They waggles their arse with a roll and go!

Long in the arm and thick in the head!

And its flamin' drafty 'round Cape Horn,
Go down, you blood red roses, Go down.

Go down, you blood red roses, Go down.
My dear old mother said to me,
My dearest son, come home from sea.
It's 'round Cape Horn we all must go
'Round Cape Horn in the frost and snow.
You've got your advance, and to sea you'll go
To chase them whales through the frost and snow.
It's 'round Cape Horn you've got to go,
For that is where them whalefish blow.
It's growl you may, but go you must,
If you growl too much your head they'll bust.
Just one more pull and that will do
For we're the boys to kick her through.

BITTER WITHY
As it fell out on a high holiday
Small rain from the sky did fall
Sweet Jesus asked of his own mother dear
Whether he might play at ball
To play, to play, dear child she did say
It's time that you have been gone
And don't let me hear complaints about you
At night when you do come home
Now our Savior walked down into yonder town
As far as the holy, holy well
And there he met three of the finest children
That ever any tongue could tell
Good morn, good morn, good morn, said they
Good morning, then said he, said he
Now which of you three fine children
Will play at ball with me
Oh we are lords and ladies sons
Born in a bowery hall
And you are but a maiden's child
Born in an oxen stall
Now our savior built a bridge with the beams of the sun
and over the water ran he, ran he
And the three jolly children followed after him
And drowned they were all three
The upward ball and the downward ball
Their mothers they did wail and squall
Saying, Mary mild, fetch home your child
For ours are drownded all
Then Mary mild picked a handful of withies
And laid our dear savior across her knee
And with that handful of withy twigs
She gave him slashes three
Oh cursed be to the bitter withy
That has caused me to smart, to smart
And that shall be the very first tree
That shall perish right at the heart

Basket of Eggs
Penguin Book of English Folk Songs
(Lloyd and Williams)
Down in Sandbank fields, two sailors they were
walking,
Their pockets were both lined with gold.
And as together they were talking
A fair maid there they did behold.
With a little basket standing by her
As she sat down to take her ease.
To carry it for her one of them offered
The answer was: "Sir, if you please".
One of these sailors took the basket.
"There's eggs in the basket, please take care:
And if by chance you should out-walk me
At the Half-way house please leave them there."
Behold these sailors, they did out-walk her,
The Half-way house they did pass by.
The pretty damsel she laughed at their fancy
And on the sailors she kept her eye.
When these two sailors came unto an ale-house,
There they did call for a pint of wine.
Saying: "Landlord, landlord, what fools in this
nation!
This young maid from her eggs we've twined.
O Landlord, landlord, bring us some bacon
We have these eggs and we'll have some dressed."
Behold, these sailors were much mistaken
As you shall say when you hear the rest.
'Twas then the landlord he went to the basket
Expecting of some eggs to find.
He said: "Young man, you're much mistaken,
Instead of eggs I've found a child."
Then one of them sat down to weeping
The other said: "It's not worth while.
Here's fifty guineas I'll give to the baby
If any woman will take the child."
The pretty young damsel she sat by the fire,
And she had a shawl drawn over her face.
She said:"I'll take it and kindly use it
When first I see the money paid."
One of the sailors threw down the money
Great favor to the babe was shown.
"Since it is so, then let's be friendly
For you know this child it is your own."
"Don't you remember a-dancing with Nancy
As long ago as last Easter day?"
"Oh yes and I do and she pleased my fancy
So now the fiddler I have paid."
One of the sailors went up to the basket
And he kicked the basket o'er and o'er.
"Since it is so, may we all be contented
But I'm hanged if I'll like eggs any more!"
