Burl Ives - Return of the Wayfaring Stranger (full album)

Burl Ives - the true wayfaring stranger! What an enchanting album! Side A: John Henry - 00:00 Billy the Kid - 02:57 Fare Thee Well, O Honey - 05:29 Mah Lindy Lou - 08:00 Mule Train - 10:49 The Worried Man Blues - 13:32 Side B: Greer County Bachelor - 16:14 Lilly Munroe - 19:14 Old Blue - 22:00 Ballanderie - 23:49 Lord Randall - 24:20 Riders in the Sky - 27:37 Wayfaring Stranger - 30:47 Woolie Boogie Bee - 32:00 Liner notes: Burl Ives began singing at age five, when he entertained at a soldiers' reunion. He has been entertaining ever since. Taken early with wanderlust, Ives left Eastern Illinois State Teachers College at the end of his sophmore year and took off on assorted journeys, literally singing for his supper. En route, through the Alleghenies and along various rivers, Ives listend to other singers, learning their songs and building a base of his enormous repertoire. He returned to school for his junior year and most of the senior session. Then, two months before graduation, Ives took off again, never to return. He spent the next two years as an itinerant troubadour, carrying his guitar in a bright yellow case and his clothes in a black valise. Inevitably, Ives drifted toward New York City, where he settled down, appearing on occasional radio programs and on the stage. Then he was asked to appear on "Forecast", a series of experimental programs designed by the Columbia Broadcasting System. His own segment, called "Back Where I come From", proved so popular that it launched a regular Ives series. Later, Ives starred as "The Wayfaring Stranger", the title of his autobiography and of an earlier Columbia Collection (CL 628). Although he has never given up singing, Burl Ives has expanded his performing range considerably. For his dramatic work in the motion picture, "The Big Country", he won an Academy Award in 1958 His performance in "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" on both stage and screen was widely acclaimed. He has also been seen on stage in "This Is The Army" and "Sing Out, Sweet Land", and many motion pictures, including "Thunderhead", for which his song "Ballad of Thunderhead" received a special citation. But the Wayfaring Stranger has never strayed far from his first love, the songs and ballads of our country. He continues to sing these plaintive, lovely tunes in recitals and concerts everywhere. This collection offers vintage Ives, a handful of his favorite songs and two that stem from the folk tradition, "Mule Train" and "Riders In The Sky", both big hits a decade ago. All are sung in his inimitable manner and promise rich rewards for everyone who enjoys the music of America.

'Big Rock Candy Mountain' Burl Ives

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:37
Updated: 25 Jul 2014

Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives was an American actor, writer, and folk music singer. As an actor, Ives's work included comedies, dramas, and voice work in theater, television, and motion pictures. Music critic John Rockwell said, "Ives's voice ... had the sheen and finesse of opera without its latter-day Puccinian vulgarities and without the pretensions of operatic ritual. It was genteel in expressive impact without being genteel in social conformity. And it moved people. Ives was born in 1909 near Hunt City, an unincorporated town in Jasper County, Illinois near Newton, Illinois, to Levi "Frank" Ives (1880–1947) and Cordelia "Dellie" (née White) (1882–1954). He had six siblings: Audry, Artie, Clarence, Argola, Lillburn, and Norma. His father was first a farmer and then a contractor for the county and others. One day Ives was singing in the garden with his mother, and his uncle overheard them. He invited his nephew to sing at the old soldiers' reunion in Hunt City. The boy performed a rendition of the folk ballad "Barbara Allen" and impressed both his uncle and the audience.

iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/es/album/old-time/id707580531 Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/6w5TxyDqqbULYrJmSrg0na Burl Ives (Hunt City, Illinois, 14 de junio de 1909 – Anacortes, Washington, 14 de abril de 1995) fue un actor, compositor y cantante estadounidense, ganador del premio Oscar. Su nombre completo era Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives, y nació cerca de Hunt City, Illinois. Sus padres eran Levi "Frank" Ives (1880–1947) y Cordelia "Dellie" White (1882–1954), y tuvo seis hermanos: Audry, Artie, Clarence, Argola, Lillburn, y Norma. Siendo niño, su tío le oyó cantar meintras se encontraba en el jardín con su madre. Le gustó tanto que le invitó a cantar en una reunión de veteranos en Hunt City, en la cual interpretó una versión de la balada "Barbara Allen", impresionando tanto a su tío como al público. Entre 1927 y 1929, Ives se educó en el Eastern Illinois State Teachers College (actualmente Eastern Illinois University) en Charleston, Illinois, aunque abandonó pronto los estudios. Seguidamente, el 23 de julio de 1929 Ives hizo una grabación de prueba en Richmond, Indiana, del tema "Behind the Clouds" para el sello Gennett, pero la grabación fue rechazada y destruida pocas semanas después. Ives viajó por los Estados Unidos como cantante itinerante en los inicios de los años treinta, ganándose la vida con diferentes trabajos y tocando el banjo. Fue arrestado en Mona (Utah) por vagancia y por cantar “Foggy, Foggy Dew,” canción que las autoridades consideraban subida de tono. Hacia 1931 empezó a actuar en la emisora radiofónica WBOW (AM) de Terre Haute, Indiana. Además, en esa época decidió volver a la escuela, acudiendo a clase en el Indiana State Teachers College (actualmente Indiana State University). En 1940 Ives empezó su propio show radiofónico, titulado The Wayfaring Stranger con motivo de una de sus baladas. A lo largo de la siguiente década popularizó varias canciones populares, tales como “Foggy, Foggy Dew” (una canción de raíces inglesas e irlandesas), “Blue Tail Fly” (una vieja melodía de la época de la Guerra Civil de los Estados Unidos), y “Big Rock Candy Mountain” (una antigua cancioncilla vagabunda). A principios de 1942, Ives fue reclutado para servir en el Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Fue destinado primero a Fort Dix, y después a Camp Upton, donde formó parte del reparto del musical de Irving Berlin This Is the Army. Cuando el espectáculo pasó a Hollywood, fue transferido a las Fuerzas Aéreas del Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Se licenció, aparentemente por razones médicas, en septiembre de 1943. Entre septiembre y diciembre de 1943 Ives vivió en California con el actor Harry Morgan (que se haría más adelante famoso por interpretar al Coronel Sherman T. Potter en la serie televisiva M*A*S*H), y ese mes de diciembre Ives se trasladó a Nueva York para trabajar en la emisora de radio CBS, con un sueldo de 100 dólares semanales. El 6 de diciembre de 1945 se casó con la guionista Helen Peck Ehrlich, con la que tuvo un hijo, Alexander, en 1949. El mismo año de su matrimonio fue elegido para actuar como cowboy cantante en el film Smoky (1945). Su primer gran éxito fue la versión que hizo de la canción inglesa del siglo XVII “Lavender Blue”, nominada al Óscar a la mejor canción original por su uso en la película de 1949 Dentro de mi corazón. Ives fue identificado en el panfleto de 1950 Red Channels y en la lista negra de Hollywood como un artista con supuestos lazos comunistas. En 1952 cooperó con el Comité de Actividades Antiestadounidenses (HUAC) aceptando testificar. Afirmó no ser miembro del Partido Comunista de los Estados Unidos, pero que sí había acudido a varias reuniones sindicales con el cantante Pete Seeger simplemente para estar en contacto con la clase trabajadora. Su cooperación con el HUAC le sacó de la lista negra, permitiéndole seguir trabajando en el cine. Pero también le distanció de otros muchos cantantes folk, entre ellos Seeger, que se sentía traicionado por Ives. Cuarenta y un años después, Ives se reunió con Seeger en un concierto benéfico en Nueva York, cantando juntos "Blue Tail Fly".

EARTHBOUND Movie (1981) Part 1 of 4 - Burl Ives, Meredith MacRae, Chris Connelly

Order: Reorder
Duration: 24:22
Updated: 06 Nov 2014

Part 1 of 4. A family of space aliens crash lands on Earth when their spaceship conks out. A hotel owner and his orphaned grandson help to hide them from government authorities and to readjust the space aliens to earth life. Cheesy, semi-predictable, and yet unique, special, and completely unforgettable. I love it! Good family values and, of course, don't trust government nor greedy corrupt businessmen! I've found this incredibly obscure and difficult to find 1981 movie (on a site specializing in rare TV movies) meant to be TV pilot with: *** BURL IVES, CHRISTOPHER CONNELLY, MEREDITH MacRAE, JOSEPH CAMPANELLA, TODD PORTER *** Writer: Michael Fisher Director James L. Conway I searched for it when I saw Meredith MacRae* was in it. *Meredith MacRae is most known as Billie-Jo on PETTICOAT JUNCTION and Sally on MY THREE SONS. She is the daughter of Gordon MacRae ("Oklahoma", "On Moonlight Bay", "By the Light of the Silvery Moon", "Carousel") and Sheila MacRae (with Jackie Gleason on "The Honeymooners". She was married to Greg Mullavey ("Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" and "Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice") and they had daughter Allison Mullavey. Meredith MacRae, according to her daughter Allison on MeredithMacRae.com, hosted Mid-Morning Los Angeles in the 1980s and produced other shows including Born Famous. She was very big on charity work including United Cerebral Palsy and National Council on Alcoholism. I see many remember and search for this movie to no avail, so I am posting it here with no intention of harm. Owners to the rights of this movie should release it properly on DVD. I would buy it! A well-done remake would be really cool too. Enjoy!

Anytime we love's the right time

Even little children love Marianne
(Everybody love her)
Down by the seaside sifting sand
Marianne, oh, Marianne
Oh, won't you marry me
We can have a bamboo hut
And brandy in the tea
Leave your fat old mama home
She never will say yes
If mama don't know now
She can guess, oh, my, yes
[Repeat CHORUS]
When she walks along the shore
People pause to greet
White birds fly around her
Little fish come to her feet
(How delightful)
In her heart is love
But I'm the only mortal man
Who's allowed to kiss my Marianne
Don't rush me
[Repeat CHORUS]
When we marry, we will have
A time you never saw
I will be so happy
I will kiss my mother-in-law
(Ha ha ha ha)
Children by the dozen
In and out the bamboo hut
One for every palm tree
And coconut (hurry up now)
[Repeat CHORUS]
All night, all day

Chicken my chicken my creamy crow,
I went to the well to wash my toe,
When I got there the water was low,
What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch?
What time is it Old Witch?
Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch,
And combs her hair with a hickory switch.
She lives on nails and snails and flies
And if you go near she'll wobble her eyes,
Oh, she'll wobble her eyes, Oh, she'll wobble her eyes.
Chicken my chicken my creamy cran,
I went to the well to wash my hand,
When I got there the water was sand,
What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch?
What time is it Old Witch?
Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch,
And combs her hair with a hickory switch.
She's fat as a feather but tight in the middle
And when she talks she sounds like a fiddle.
Oh, she sound like a fiddle! Oh, she sound like a fiddle!
Chicken my chicken my creamy crase,
I went to the well to wash my face,
But, when I got there the water was lace,
What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch?
What time is it Old Witch?
Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch,
And combs her hair with a hickory switch.
She sleeps on a bed with straw and corn
And when she snores she sounds like a horn,
Oh, she sound like a horn! Oh, she sound like a horn!
Chicken my chicken my creamy cregs,
I went to the well to wash my legs,
And when I got there the water was dregs,
What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch?

Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch,
And combs her hair with a hickory switch.
And as I said she's very fat
And when she walks she jumps like a cat,

Top Burl Ives, The Little White Duck

There's a little white duck, sitting in the water
A little white duck, doing what he oughter
He took a bite of a lily pad
Flapped his wings and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little white duck sitting in the water
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack"
There's a little green frog swimming in the water
A little green frog, doing what he oughter
He jumped right off of the lily pad
That the little duck bit and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little green frog swimming in the water
Glump glug, glump glug, glump glug glug"
There's a little black bug floating on the water
A little black bug doing what he oughter
He tickled the frog on the lily pad
That the little duck bit and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little black bug floating on the water
Chirp bzz, chirp bzz, chirp bzz bzz"
There's a little red snake playing in the water
A little red snake doing what he oughter
He frightened the duck and the frog so bad
He ate the little bug and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little red snake laying in the water
Wriggle hiss, wriggle hiss, wriggle hiss hiss"
Now there's nobody left sitting in the water
Nobody left doing what he oughter
There's nothing left but the lily pad
The duck and the frog ran away, I'm sad
'Cause there's nobody left sitting in the water

Top Burl Ives, On Top Of Old Smokey

On top of old smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
From a courtin' too slow
On top of old smokey
I went there to weep
A false hearted lover
Is worse than a thief
For a thief, he will rob you
And take what you have
But a false hearted lover
Will send you to your grave
She'll hug you and kiss
And tell you more lies
Than the cross tiles on the railroad
Or the stars in the skies
On top of old smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover

And if that diamond ring turns brass,

And if that looking glass gets broke,

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull fall down,

Top Burl Ives, Oh Little Town Of Bethelhem

Oh, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless
Sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all
The years are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep
The angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
Oh, morning stars together
Proclaim the Holy birth
And praises sing
To God the King
And peace to men on Earth
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls
Will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in
Oh, holy child of Bethlehem
Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us

And the gun went a-boom-boom, Lord, Lord, Lord

And six weeks calling, Lord, Lord, Lord
And they put him on the table, Lord, Lord, Lord
And your wife and my wife, Lord, Lord, Lord
There's time for feather pickin', Lord, Lord, Lord
But the fork wouldn't stick it, Lord, Lord, Lord
And the knife wouldn't cut it, Lord, Lord, Lord
And they put him in the oven, Lord, Lord, Lord
But the oven wouldn't burn him, Lord, Lord, Lord
And they him in the hog pen, Lord, Lord, Lord
But the hog couldn't eat it, Lord, Lord, Lord
And he broke the hogs teeth out, Lord, Lord, Lord
So they threw him in the sawmill, Lord, Lord, Lord
And the sawmill wouldn't cut him, Lord, Lord, Lord
And he broke the saws teeth off, Lord, Lord, Lord
And the last time I seen him, Lord, Lord, Lord
She was flyin' cross the ocean, Lord, Lord, Lord
With a long string o' goslings, Lord, Lord, Lord

Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
She sailed at the dawning, all day i've been blue
Red sails in the sunset, i'm trusting in you
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore

Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore

Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me

Too-hoo, too-hoo, too-hoo, too-hoo.
Two little owls in a row, row, row,
In the bough of a great big tree,
And they felt just as happy and they looked just as happy,
As any little owls could be, be, be,
as any little owls could be.
Meow, meow, meow, meow.
Three little cats with a creep, creep, creep,
Glided up to the branch of the tree,
And they looked at the birds,
And they said, not in words,
What a jolly repast this will be, be, be,
What a very jolly feast for us three.
Bow-wow, bow-wow, bow-wow, bow-wow.
Three little dogs with a bow-wow-wow,
Dashed after the pussy cats three,
And the owls in flight spread their wings in flight,
And the dogs trotted home to tea, tea, tea,

Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Top Burl Ives, It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

Burl Ives - It came upon the midnight clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heavens all gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
O ye beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace, their King,
And the whole world send back the song

Top Burl Ives, I'm The Boss

Before a man marries, one thing he should get straight:
Who is the captain who is the first mate,
Who mops standing up or who scrubs on his knees,
A man's entitled to decisions like these.
CHORUS: I'm the boss. (There's no doubt of it)
I'm the boss. (And he's proud of it)
I make the decisions and mine is the final one.
Don't tell me how the dishes should be done. CHORUS
My woman and I we live in tranquillity.
Don't ask how to spell it; I'm not nobility.
I say men are smarter and my woman agrees.
What I cook for supper should be up to me. CHORUS
Take my advice, friend: stay in the driver's seat.
You give her an inch and you're doomed to defeat.
Let her know you're the boss. Man can't live on his
knees.

Top Burl Ives, Rolling Home

Up aloft, amid the rigging
Swiftly blows the fav'ring gale,
Strong as springtime in its blossom,
Filling out each bending sail,
And the waves we leave behind us
Seem to murmur as they rise;
We have tarried here to bear you
To the land you dearly prize.
Rolling home, rolling home,
Rolling home across the sea,
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee.
Now, it takes all hands to man the capstan,
Mister see your cables clear!
Soon you'll be sailing homeward bound sir,
And for the channel you will steer.
See your sheets and crew lines free sir,
All your buntlines overhauled;
Are the sheerpoles and gear all ready?
Soon for New England we will steer.
Rolling home, rolling home,
Rolling home across the sea,
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee.
Full ten thousand miles behind us,
And a thousand miles before,
Ancient ocean waves to waft us
To the well remembered shore.
Newborn breezes swell to send us
To our childhood welcome skies,
To the glow of friendly faces
And the glance of loving eyes.
Rolling home, rolling home,
Rolling home across the sea,
Rolling home to dear old England

Top Burl Ives, A Little Bitty Tear, the Nashville Years, Vol. 3

There's nothing left for me
Of days that used to be
There's just a memory among my souvenirs
Some letters tied in blue,
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And though they do their best
To give me consolation
I count them all apart
And as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs
I count them all apart
And as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs

Top Burl Ives, Songs of Ireland

In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and
narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they both wheeled their barrows through streets broad
and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
She died of a fever and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and
narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

Top Burl Ives, Have A Holly Jolly Christmas

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Till ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men."

Top Burl Ives, Australian Folk Songs

Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee
And he sang as he talked to that jumbuck in his
tuckerbag
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he talked to that jumbuck in his
tuckerbag
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Down came the stockman, riding on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three.
Where's that jolly jumbuck that you've got in your
tuckerbag?
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Where's that jolly jumbuck that you've got in your
tuckerbag?
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Up jumped the swagman, plunged into the billabong,
You'll never catch me alive, cried he
And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the
billabong,
Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the
billabong,
Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Top Burl Ives, A Little Bitty Tear the Nashville Years, Vol. 1

You can't tell every book by its cover
Every girl that you meet won't treat you
like your mother.
They'll say this is real
Turn around and call you a heel,
And hand you your hat
Mother wouldn't do that.
Last night I caught my baby
with an other.
I said, now honey, you aint treating
me like my mother.
You've been all up and down,
this swinging old town
with some other cat.
Mother wouldn't do that.
Now this thing that we have got
Must work two ways.
And if things don't change
I'm a leavin' some of these days
Well woman your so mean,
that you take all of the lean
and leave me the fat.
Mother wouldn't do that.

Top Burl Ives, Ace In The Hole

Mexicali Rose stop crying
I'll come back to you some sunny day.
Every night you'll know that I'll be pining
Every hour a year while I'm away.
Dry those big brown eyes and smile dear
Banish all those tears and please don't sigh.
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose goodbye.
Dry those big brown eyes and smile dear
Banish all those tears and please don't sigh.
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose goodbye.

We're a couple of misfits
We're a couple of misfits
What's the matter with misfits
That's where we fit in!
We're not daffy and dilly
Don't go 'round willy nilly
Seems to us kinda silly
That we don't fit in.
We may be different from the rest
Who decides the test
Of what is really best?
We're a couple of misfits
We're a couple of misfits
What's the matter with misfits
That's where we fit in!

Why am I such a misfit?
I am not just a nit wit!
I'm an adorable reindeer
Why don't I fit in?

Why am I such a misfit?
I am not just a nit wit!
They can't fire me.
I QUIT!

cho: When you walk the streets you'll have no cares
If you walk the lines and not the squares
As you go through life make this your goal
Watch the donut, not the hole.
It's written on the rainbow, in letters made of gold
Written on the rainbow, there's wisdom to behold
My friend the little sparrow flew
Close enough to see
Written on a rainbow is this philosophy.
(Repeat verse)
Little angels wrote it, so folks on earth would know
(Repeat Chorus two times)
I'm off to jolly England where
Bulldogs all wear pants
Off to Pago Pago where alligators dance
My friend the little sparrow will
Take me where he flies
Even to the rainbow to read with my own eyes(Chorus)

Filling Santa's shelves With a toy
For each girl and boy.
Oh, we are Santa's elves.
We work hard all day,
But our work is play.
Dolls we try out,
See if they cry out.
We are Santa's elves.
We've a special job each year.
We don't like to brag.
Christmas Eve we always
Fill Santa's bag.
Santa knows who's good.
Do the things you should.
And we bet you,
He won't forget you.
We are Santa's elves.
Ho ho ho. Ho ho ho.
We are Santa's elves.

Top Burl Ives, Among My Souvenirs

Top Burl Ives, White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright

Top Burl Ives, Christmas Is A Birthday

Sing now a song of joy
Every Christmas is a birthday
Of that Baby born in Bethlehem
Far Far away
Ring out ol' bells of joy
Every Christmas is a birthday
Celebrated for that Baby Boy
Born Christmas Day
Sweet little stranger
There in the manger
Sent to be King of us
That Day of days
Angels above Him
Told us to love Him
Cling to him, bring to Him
Glory and praise
Ring out ol' bells of joy
Every Christmas is a birthday
Celebrated for that Baby Boy
Born Christmas Day
Sweet little stranger
There in the manger
Sent to be King of us
That Day of days
Angels above Him
Told us to love Him
Cling to him, bring to Him
Glory and praise
Ring out ol' bells of joy
Every Christmas is a birthday
Celebrated for that Baby Boy

Top Burl Ives, Christmas Can't Be Far Away

A neighbor tipped his hat to me this mornin'
The landlord even smiled and said good day
And I want you to know that a stranger said hello
Christmas can't be far away
Old tight wad down the street is a buying candy
To pass out to the neighbor kids at play
The town is on the go and the weather man says snow
Christmas can't be far away
The small fry on our block have all been saving
And now their hiding things and looking sly
Mum will get that doodad she's been craving
And dad will get his usual Christmas tie
Both young and old are planning sweet surprises
They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay
Good will is in the air and you feel it everywhere
Christmas can't be far away
Good will is in the air and you feel it everywhere

On my honor, I'll do my best, to do my duty to God.
On my honor, I'll do my best, to serve my country as I

On my honor, I'll do my best, to do my good turn each

To keep my body strengthened and keep my mind awakened.
To follow paths of righteousness.

Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried,
To a sympathetic beetle by his side.
"I've got nobody to hug,
I'm such an ugly bug."
Then a spider and a dragon fly replied,
"If you're serious and want to win a bride,
Come along with us,
To the glorious
Annual ugly bug ball."
Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all
At the ugly bug ball
While the crickets clicked their tricky melodies
All the ants were fancy-dancing with the fleas
Then up from under the ground
The worms came squirming around
Oh they danced until there legs were nearly lame
Every little crawling creature you could name
Everyone was glad
What a time they had
They were so happy they came
Everyone was glad! What a time they had!
They were so happy they came!
Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all!
At the ugly bug ball.
Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
She was beautiful in yellow, black and green
He said, "Would you care to dance?"
Their dancing led to romance.
And she sat upon his caterpillar knees
And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
Soon they'll honeymoon
Build a big cocoon
Thanks to the ugly bug ball
Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl,
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all!
At the ugly bug ball!

I've reached the land of corn and wine,
And all it riches freely mine,
Now shines undimmed the blistful day,
But all my sins are cast away
Oh, Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
As on the highest mount I stand
I look away across the sea
Where mansions are prepared for me
And view the shining glory shore,
My Heavn, my home forever more!
The Savior comes and walks with me
And sweet communion here have we,
He gently leads me with His hand,
For this is Heavens table land.
Oh, Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
As on the highest mount I stand
I look away across the sea
Where mansions are prepared for me
And view the shining glory shore,
My Heavn, my home forever more!
The zephyrs seem to float to me,
Sweet sounds of Heavens melody,
And angels with the white robed throng
Join in the sweet redemption song.
Oh, Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
As on the highest mount I stand
I look away across the sea
Where mansions are prepared for me
And view the shining glory shore,
My Heavn, my home forever more!

A sweet perfume upon the breeze,
Is borne from ever vernal trees,
And flowrs, that never fading grow
Where streams of life forever flow.

As on the highest mount I stand
I look away across the sea
Where mansions are prepared for me
And view the shining glory shore,
My Heavn, my home forever more!

Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day
Chatting with my mess-mates, passing time away
Laying in the shadows underneath the trees
Goodness how delicious eating goober peas
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness how delicious
Eating goober peas
When a horse-man passes, the soldiers have a rule
To cry out at their loudest, "Mister, here's your mule?"
But another pleasure enchanting-er than these
Is wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Is wearing out your grinders
Eating goober peas
Just before the battle, the General hears a row
He said, "The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now"
He turns around in wonder and what do you think he sees?

Eating goober peas
I think my song has lasted almost long enough
The subject's interesting but the rhymes are mighty tough
I wish this war was over and free from rags and fleas
We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts, and gobble goober peas
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Gobble goober peas
We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts
And gobble goober peas

When I was young, I used to wait
On the boss and give him his plate
And pass him the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue tail fly
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
My master's gone away
And When he would ride in the afternoon
I'd follow after, with a hickory broom
The pony being rather shy
When bitten by blue tail fly
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
My master's gone away
One day, he ride around the farm
The flies so numerous, they did swarm
One chanced to bite him on the thigh
The devil take the blue tail fly
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
My master's gone away
The pony run, he jumped, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue tail fly
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
My master's gone away
They lay him under a 'simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see
"Beneath this stone, I'm forced to lie
Victim of the blue tail fly"
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
My master's gone away

Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree
Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three

Off through the woods he was marchin' along
Makin' up yarns an' singin' a song
Itchin' for some fightin' and rightin' of wrongs.
Ringy as a bar and twice as strong.

Where freedom was fightin' another foe

Top Burl Ives, Christmas Eve

Down in yon forest there's stands a hall
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
It's covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
In that hall there stands a bed
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
It's covered all over with scarlet so red
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
At the bed side there lies a stone
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Which the sweet virgin Mary knelt upon
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
Under that bed there runs a flood
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
The one half runs water
And other runs blood
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
At the bed's foot there grows a thorn
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Whichever blows blossoms
Since He was born
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
Over that bed the moon shines bright
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Denoting our Saviour was born this night
And I love my Lord Jesus above everything

Top Burl Ives, Burl Ives Greatest Hits

Chorus:
Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain where the lemonade springs
and the bluebird sings in that Big Rock Candy Mountain
On a summer day
In the month of May
A burly bum came ahiking
Down a shady lane
Through the sugar cane
He was looking for his liking
As he strolled along
He sang a song
Of the land of milk and honey
Where a bum can stay
For many a day
And he won't need any money
Chorus:
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
The cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
The barns are full of hay
I want to go where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
Alternate verses:
2. There's a lake of gin
We can both jump in
And the handouts grow on bushes
In the new-mown hay
We can sleep all day
And the bars all have free lunches
Where the mail train stops
And there ain't no cops
And the folks are tender-hearted
Where you never change your socks
And you never throw rocks
And your hair is never parted
Chorus:
3. Oh, a farmer and his son,
They were on the run
To the hay field they were bounding
Said the bum to the son,
"Why don't you come
To that big rock candy mountain?"
So the very next day
They hiked away,
The mileposts they were counting
But they never arrived
At the lemonade tide
On the big rock candy mountain
Chorus:
1. One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
He said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm heading for a land that's far away
Beside the crystal fountain
I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Chorus:
2. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain,
It's a land that's fair and bright,
The handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night.
The boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall
And the winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Chorus:
3. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
You never change your socks
And little streams of alkyhol
Come trickling down the rocks
O the shacks all have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And ginger ale too
And you can paddle
All around it in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Chorus:
4. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
The cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The box-cars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall
And the winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Chorus:
5. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain,
The jails are made of tin.
You can slip right out again,
As soon as they put you in.
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws nor picks,
I'm bound to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Chorus:

Top Burl Ives, You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch

All the windows were dark
No one knew he was here
All the who's
Were all dreaming
Sweet dreams without care
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel
Mr. Grinch
You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart's an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders
You've got garlic in your soul
Mr. Grinch
I wouldn't touch you
With a thirty-nine
And-a-half foot pole
All I need is a reindeer
So he took his dog, Max
And he took some red thread
And he tied a big horn
On the top of his head
Then the Grinch said "Giddap"
And the sleigh started down
To the homes
Where the who's lay
A-snooze in their town
"This is stop number one
"The old Grinchy Claus hissed
And he climbed to the roof
Empty bags in his fist
Then he slid down the chimney
A rather tight pinch
But, if Santa could do it
Then so could the Grinch
Then he slithered and slunk
With a smile most unpleasant
Around the whole room
And he took every present
Pop guns, and bicycles
Roller skates, drums
Checkerboards, tricycles
Popcorn, and plums
And he stuffed them
In bags
Then the Grinch
Very nimbly
Stuffed all the bags
One by one
Up the chimney
You're a foul one
Mr. Grinch
You're a nasty
Wasty skunk
Your heart is full
Of unwashed socks
Your soul
Is full of gunk
Mr. Grinch
The three words
That best describe you
Are as follows
And I quote
"Stink. Stank. Stunk"
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseaus super-naus
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse
Mr. Grinch
You're
A three decker saurkraut
And toadstool sandwich

I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone
I gave my love a chicken
That had no bone
I told my love a story
That had no end
I gave my love a baby
With no crying.
How can there be a cherry
That has no stone?
And how can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
And how can there be a story
That has no end?
And how can there be a baby
With no crying?
A cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when in the shell
It has no bone
The story of how I love you
It has no end
A baby when it's sleeping
It's not crying.

Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.

Beneath this snowy mantle, cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life is the thing I can't win
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you, where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could, you know that I would, fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
That she'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take me with you when you go

Top Burl Ives, The Blizzard

There's a blizzard comin' on how I'm wishin' I was home
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
Listen to that norther sigh if we don't get home we'll
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
It's only seven miles to Mary Anne
You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly
suppertime
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
Lord, my hands feel like they're froze and there's a
numbness in my toes
But, it's only five more miles to Mary Anne
It's only five more miles to Mary Anne
That wind's howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's
screams
And we'd best be movin' faster if we can
Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft
and warm
For it's only three more miles to Mary Anne
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne
Dan get up you ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us
I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
All right Dan perhaps it's best that we stop awhile and
rest
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne
It's still a hundred yeards to Mary Anne
Late that night the storm was gone and they found him
there at dawn
He'd a made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan
Yes, they found him there on the plains his hands
frozed to the reins
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne

And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water

He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan can you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for you and me
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water, cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water, cool, clear, water
The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water, cool, water
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water
Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for
Just one thing more than water, cool, water
Like me I guess he'd like to rest

Top Burl Ives, Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corn cop pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made out of snow
But the children know how he came to life one day
There must of been some magic in
That ol' silk cap they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the snowman knew the snow was hot that day
So he said lets run and have some fun before I melt away
Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand
Runnin' here and there all around the square
Sayin' catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop
Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye sayin' please don't cry

Top Burl Ives, Mocking Bird Hill

When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill
Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill
Got a three-cornered plow and an acre to till
And a mule that I bought for a ten-dollar bill
There's a tumble-down shack and a rusty old mill
But it's my Home Sweet Home up on Mockingbird Hill
Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill
When it's late in the evening I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
Singin' songs in the twilight on Mockingbird Hill
Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers

Top Burl Ives, The Whale

The Whale
(spoken) Here's a song about a whale
with a most amazing appetite.
(sung)
In San Francisco town there lived a whale
Who ate pork chops by the pale,
By the pill-box, by the suitcase,
By the bathtub, by the schooner.
Her name was Sara and she's a peach
But you can't leave food within her reach
Nor nurse-maids, nor Airedales,
Nor chocolate ice cream sodas.
She eats a lot but when she smiles
You can see her teeth for miles and miles,
And her adenoids, and her spare ribs,
And things too fierce to mention.
So what can you do in a case like that?
what can you do except sit on your hat,
Or your toothbrush, or your grandmother,

Top Burl Ives, Little Mohee

As I was a-walkin' upon a fine day
I got awful lonesome as the day passed away
I sat down a-musing, alone on the grass
When who should sit by me but a sweet Indian lass.
2. She sat down beside me and took hold of my hand
Said, "You sure be a stranger, and in a strange land."
She asked me to marry and gave me her hand,
Said, "My pappy's a chieftain all over this land."
3. "My pappy's a chieftain, and ruler be he
I'm his only daughter and my name is Mohee"
I answered and told her that it never could be
'Cause I had my own sweetheart in my own country.
4. I had my own sweetheart, and I knew she loved me
Her heart was as true as any Mohee
So I said, "I must leave you and goodbye my dear
There's wind in my canvas and home I must steer."
5. At home with relations I tried for to see
But there wasn't a one like my little Mohee,
And the girl I had trusted proved untrue to me

Top Burl Ives, Sweet Betsy From Pike

Burl Ives – Sweet Betsy from Pike
Oh, Don't you remember Sweet Betsy from Pike,
She crossed the big mountains with her lover Ike,
With two yoke of oxen and one yaller dog
And an old Shanghai rooster one spotted hog.
Hoodle dang dang fol-de-die-do hoodle dang fol-de-day
They got to the desert where Betsy give out,
Down on the sand she lay rolling about,
Ike he gazed at her with sobs and white sighs,
“Won't you get up, Sweet Betsy? You'll get sand in your eyes”
Hoodle dang dang fol-de-die-do hoodle dang fol-de-day
Well, the oxen run off and the shanghai it died,
The last piece of bacon that morning was fried,
Ike got discouraged an Betsy got mad,
And the dog wagged his tail and looked wonderfully sad.
Hoodle dang dang fol-de-die-do hoodle dang fol-de-day
Ike and Sweet Betsy attended a dance,
Ike wore a pair of his Pike country pants,
Betsy was dressed up in ribbons and rings.
Quoth Ike: “You're an angel, but where are your wings?”
Hoodle dang dang fol-de-die-do hoodle dang fol-de-day
A miner come up, says, “will you dance with me?”
“I will you old hoss, if you don't make too free; tell you the reason,
if you want to know why, doggone you, I'm chock full of strong alkali."

Top Burl Ives, This Is All I Ask

As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasures
And so, I happily concede
This is all I ask
And this is all I need
Beautiful girls
Walk a little slower
When you walk by me
Lingering sunsets
Stay a little longer
With the lonely sea
Children everywhere
When you shoot at bad men
Shoot at me
Take me to that
Strange, enchanted land
Grown-ups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows
Leave a bit of color
For my heart to own
Stars in the sky
Make my wish come true
Before the night has flown
And let the music play
As long as there's a song to sing
And I will stay younger
Younger than Spring
Wandering rainbows
Leave a bit of color
For my heart to own
Stars in the sky
Make my wish come true
Before the night has flown
(And let the music play)
And let the music play
As long as there is
A song to sing
And I will stay younger

Top Burl Ives, The Little Engine That Could

There was a little railroad train with loads and loads of toys
All starting out to find a home with little girls and boys
And as that little railroad train began to chug along
The little engine up in front was heard to sing this song
Choo choo, choo choo, choo choo, choo choo, I feel so good today
Oh, clear the track, oh clickety clack, I?ll go my merry way
The little train went roaring on, so fast, it seemed to fly
Until it reached a mountain rising almost to the sky
The little engine moaned and groaned and huffed and puffed away
But halfway to the top it just gave up and seemed to say
I can?t go on, I can?t go on, I?m weary as can be
I can?t go on, I can?t go on, this job is not for me
The toys got out to push but all in vain alas, alack
And then a great big engine came a whistling down the track
They asked if it would kindly pull them up the mountain side
But with a high and mighty sneer it scornfully replied
Don?t bother me, don?t bother me to pull the likes of you
Don?t bother me, don?t bother me, I?ve better things to do
The toys all started crying ?cause that engine was so mean
And then there came another one, the smallest ever seen
But though it seemed that she could hardly pull herself along
She hitched on to the train and as she pulled she sang this song
I think I can, I think I can, I think I have a plan
And I can do 'most anything if I only think I can
Then up that great big mountain with the cars all full of toys
And soon they reached the waiting arms of happy girls and boy
And though that ends the story it will do you lots of good
To take a lesson from the little engine that could
Just think you can, just think you can, just have that understood
And very soon you?ll start to say, I always knew I could
I knew I could, I knew I could, I knew I could

Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build
A big snowman
It was a week just before Christmas
Way down in Louisiana
A little boy was kneeling by his bed
In a manner poised and grand
I listened as he said his prayers
His voice came soft and low
He said, "God tell Saint Nicholas
To send a little snow"
Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build
A big snowman
I'd like to build a snowman
Like the other children do
I've got an old top hat and a walking cane
Got a big long cigar too
Yes, everything is ready
And I'm all set to go
How can I build a snowman
When I haven't any snow
Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build
A big snowman
Now, early Christmas morning
Much to his surprise
Snowflakes by the million
Were falling from the skies
Down the stairs and out-of-doors
As fast as he could go
So happy that Saint Nicholas
Had sent a little snow
Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
A big snowman
Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
A big snowman
Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build

Top Burl Ives, Cold, Cold Heart

i tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every
dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing i do is just some evil
scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't i free your doubtful mind and melt your cold
cold heart
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things i didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops
start
Why can't i free your doubtful mind,and melt your cold
cold heart
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sat and
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to
Why do you run and hide from lies,to try it just ain't
smart
Why can't i free your doubtful mind and melt your cold
cold heart
There was a time when i believed that you belonged to me
But now i know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more i learn to care for you,the more we drift apart
Why can't i free your doubtful mind and melt your cold

In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they both wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
She died of a fever and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!

And I hung my head and cried.

You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,

Please don't take my sunshine away.
I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;
You are my sunshine,

You make me happy
When skies are grey.

And that You had a birthday
This time every year
He told me how You listen to
Every word we say
And that You hear us call

He explained how bad they hurt You
And made You suffer so
But said, You let them do it
For girls like me, I know
He told me about the manger
They put You in
I'd let You have my blanket
If I was there, back then
He said that, You are watching
Everything we do

And our new baby too
I like what daddy told me
Of how You healed the lame
And that You don't have to have
Any wealth or fame
And he told me You were so awfully good
And then he made me cry
He said, they nailed You to a cross
They wanted You to die
And then he made me happy
When he said, You came back again

Because on that day, You were born

A lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the five
And ten glistening
Once again
With candy canes
And silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight
To see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair
Of hopalong boots
And a pistol
That shoots
Is the wish
Of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk
And will go for a walk
Is the hope
Of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad
Can hardly
Wait for school
To start again
It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
There's a tree
In the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind
That doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing
That will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing

Top Burl Ives, By The Light Of The Silvery Moon

By the light of the silvery moon,
I want to spoon, to my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon keep a-shining in June,
Your silv'ry beams will bring love dreams
We'll be cuddling soon,
By the silvery moon
By the light of the silvery moon,
I want to spoon, to my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon keep a-shining in June,
Your silv'ry beams will bring love dreams
We'll be cuddling soon,
By the silvery moon
By the light of the silvery moon,
I want to spoon, to my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon keep a-shining in June,
Your silv'ry beams will bring love dreams
We'll be cuddling soon,

Top Burl Ives, Cowboy's Lament

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die
It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
First down to Rosie's and then to the card house
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today
Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin
Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song
Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song
Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me
For I'm a young cowboy, I know I've done wrong
Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Play the Dead March as they carry me along
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
Put roses to deaden the clods as they fall
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
