#1 I'm A Nut
I'm a little corn brown
Lying on the cold, cold ground
Somebody came and stepped on me
Now I'm cracked as I can be
Chorus
I'm a nut
In a rut
I'm a nut
So what!
Called myself on the telephone
Just to see if I was home
Asked myself out for a date
Didn't get home til half past eight
Repeat Chorus
Took myself to the picture show
Sat right down on the very first row
Put my arms around my waist
Got so fresh I slapped my face
Repeat Chorus
I'm a little piece of tin
Nobody knows where I've been
I've got four wheels and a running board
I'm a four-door, I'm a Ford
Honk honk, rattle rattle, crash crash,
beep beep, a-oo-ga
I'm a little junior miss
I can hug and I can kiss
I can sing and I can dance
I wear ruffles on my____________
Hold it, boys, take another guess
I wear ruffles on my dress
Repeat Chorus
#2 Three Good Turns
A Boy Scout hiked with careless stride
Along a dusty road.
When out from a tree there hopped with glee
A big fat husky toad.
Says the toad to the Scout, "Hello my lad,
Where are you headed for?"
"I'm on a seven mile hike," says he,
"And I've only one mile more."
Chorus
Hike along, hike along,
Hike along with stride so free;
But when you see an old black bear,
Just let that old bear be.
"What have you done while on this hike?"
Says the old fat toad, says he,
"I've had some fun and I've eaten a bun,
And I've done my Good Turns three."
"What are those three Good Turns, my Scout?"
Says the old fat toad, says he.
"Well, I helped a man to catch a cow
And I found a lost baby."
Repeat Chorus
"That's only two," says the old fat toad,
"And you say that you've done three."
"Well wait a while, till I get my breath,"
Says the Second Class Scout, says he
"As I went up the mountain side,
"I spied a tall oak tree,
And up on the top was a big black bear
A-looking down at me."
Repeat Chorus
"And I thought to myself, when I spied that bear,
What an awful shame 'twould be
If I disturbed that big black bear
A-looking down at me.
So I turned around a piked right down
And I let that old bear be;
And that Good Turn with the other two
Just maked the Good Turns three."
#3 Down By The Riverside
I'm gonna lay down my burden,
Down by the riverside, (3 times)
Gonna lay down my burden,
Down by the riverside,
Ain't a-gonna study war no more.
Chorus
I ain't a-gonna study war no more,
I ain't a-gonna study war no more,
I ain't a-gonna study war no more,
Gonna lay down my sword and shield, etc.
Gonna try on my long white robe, etc.
Gonna try on my starry crown, etc.
Gonna play on my golden harp, etc.
#4 Dig My Grave
You just dig my grave with a silver spade,
You just dig my grave with a silver spade,
You just dig my grave with a silver spade,
Cause I ain't gonna be here much longer.
There's a long white robe in the heavens for me, etc.
There's a golden harp in the heavens for me, etc.
You just pluck one string and the whole heavens ring, etc.
You just dig my grave with a silver spade,
You just dig my grave with a silver spade,
You just dig my grave with a silver spade,
Cause I ain't gonna be here much longer.
#5 Loch Lomond
By yon bonny banks,
And by yon bonny braes,
Where the sun shines bright
On Loch Lomond,
Where me and my true love
Were ever won't to gae,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks
Of Loch Lomond.
Chorus
Oh, you'll take the high road,
And I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye,
But me and my true love,
We'll never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks
Of Loch Lomond.
Twas there that we parted
In yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side
Of Ben Lomond,
Where in purple hue the
Highland Hills we view,
And the moon coming out
In the gloaming.
The wee birdies sing,
And the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine
The waters are sleeping,
But the broken heart it kens,
Nae second spring again,
Tho' the waeful may cease
Frae their greeting.
#6 Hi - Ho
(Round - Loud & Softer)
Hi - Ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet will I be Mer-rr-rr-rr-rr-y
#7 This Land Is Your Land
Chorus
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters,
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway,
I saw below me the golden valley,
This land was made for you and me.
I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps,
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts.
All around me a voice was sounding,
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust cloud rolling,
A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.
#8 I Love The Mountains
I love the mountains
I love the rolling hills
I love the flowers
I love the daffodils
I love the campfires
When the lights are burning low,
Boom-De-Ada, Boom-De-Ada
Boom-De-Ada, Boom-De-Ada,
#9 Hog Calling Time In Nebraska

#13 My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean
My bonnie lies over the ocean
My bonnie lies over the sea
My bonnie lies over the ocean
O bring back my bonnie to me.
Chorus
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my bonnie to me, to me,
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bonnie to me.
O blow ye winds over the ocean,
O blow ye winds over the sea.
0 blow ye winds over the ocean
And bring back my bonnie to me.
Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow
1 dreamed that my bonnie was dead.
The winds have blown over the ocean
The winds have blown over the sea.
The winds have blown over the ocean
And brought back my bonnie to me.
My bonnie leaned over the gas tank
The height of its contents to see
I lit a small match to assist her
0 bring back my bonnie to me.
Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
1 stuck my feet out of the window
In the morning the neighbors were dead.
My mother makes beer in the bathtub
My father makes synthetic gin
My sister makes fridge for a quarter
Wouldja believe how the money rolls in?
My mother, she drowned in the bathtub
My father, he died from his gin,
My sister choked on her chocolate,
My stars, what a fix I am in.
I tried making beer in the bathtub
I tried making synthetic gin,
I tried making fudge for a living,
Now look at the shape that I'm in.
My uncle's a lifeguard at Colonial
Where he gets a tan on his skin,
He'll save you a blonde for five dollars,
Gosh, how the money rolls in.
#14 Grand Old Flag
It's a grand old flag, it's a high flying flag
And forever in peace may she wave.
It's the emblem of the land I love
The home of the free and the brave.
Every heart beats true for the red, white and blue
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
#15 America
My country tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died
Land of the Pilgrim's pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring.
My native country thee,
Land of the noble free
Thy name I love.
I love thy rocks and rills
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedoms sing.
Let moral tongues awake
Le tall that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong.
Our fathers God to Thee
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light.
Protect us by thy might
Great God our King.
#16 Columbia The Gem Of The Ocean
O Columbia the gem of the ocean
The home of the brave and the free
The shrine of each patriot's devotion
A world offers homage to thee.
They mandates make heroes assemble
When Liberty's form stands in view
Thy banners make tyranny tremble
When borne by the red, white and blue.
Chorus
When borne by the red, white and blue
When borne by the red, white and blue
They banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white and blue.
When war winged its wide desolation
And threatened the land to deform
The ark then of freedom's foundation
Columbia rode safe through the storm;
With her garlands of victory around her
The boast of the red, white and blue.
(Repeat the last line in the chorus)
The star spangled banner bring hither
O'er Columbia's true sons let it wave
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
Nor its stars cease to shine on the brave
May thy service, united ne'er sever
But hold to their colors so true
The army and navy forever
Three cheers for the red, white and blue.
#17 Waltzing Matilda
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a collabah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled,
Chorus
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me,
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.
(Repeat last line of previous verse)
You '11 come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman, grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag,
Down came the squatter mounted on his thorobred
Up came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your
tuckerbag?"
Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never take me alive," cried he,
Now his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong.
#18 In 1842
In 1842 I found myself with nothing to do
I found myself with nothing to do
So I worked on the railroad.
Chorus
Patsy-orr-iorr-eea (3 times)
Working on the railroad
In 1843 the railroad company hired me
The railroad company hired me
To work upon the railroad.
In 1844 found my back was mighty sore
Found my back was mighty sore
From working on the railroad.
In 1845 thought myself more dead than alive
Thought myself more dead than alive
From working on the railroad.
In 1846 I dropped four dynamite sticks
I dropped four dynamite sticks
While working on the railroad.
In 1847 found myself at the gates of heaven
Found myself at the gates of heaven
After working on the railroad.
In 1848 walked right through the pearly gate
Walked right through the pearly gate
After working on the railroad.
#19 I've Been Workin' on the Railroad
I've been workin' on the railroad
All the livelong day.
I've been workin' on the railroad
Just to pass the time away;
Can't you hear the whistle blowing?
Rise up so early in the morn;
Can't you hear the captain shouting;
"Dinah blow your horn!"
Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow,
Dinah won't your blow your horn, your horn!
Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow,
Dinah won't you blow your horn!
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah.
Someone's in the kitchen I know;
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Strummin' on the old banjo.
Fee-fi-Fiddely-I-oh!
Fee-fi-fiddely-I-o-o-o-oh!
Fee-fi-fiddely-I-oh!
Strummin' on the old banjo.
Fee-plunk, fi-plunk, fiddely-I-oh-plunk!
Fee-fi-fiddely-I-oh, plunk, plunk, plunk!
Fe.....Fi .... fiddely-I-Ohhh ...
Strummin' on the old banjo.
#20 Born Free
Born free, as free as the wind blows,
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart.
Live free and beauty surrounds you.
The world will astound you,
Each time you look at a star.
Stay free, where no walls divide you.
You're free as a roaring tide
And there's no need to hide.
Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'Cause you're born free.
#21 There's A Long, Long Trail
There's a long, long trail a-winding
Into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingales are singing,
And a white moon beams,
There's a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true,
Till the day when I'll be going
Down that long, long trail with you.
#22 Down In The Valley
Down in the valley, valley so low,
Hang your head over, Hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, love; hear the wind blow,
Hang your head over, Hear the wind blow.
Roses love sunshine, Violets love dew
Angels in Heaven know I love you,
Know I love you, love, know I love you.
Know I love you, love, know I love you.
Send me a letter, Send it my mail,
Send it in care of the Birmingham jail.
Write me a letter containing these lines
Write me a letter, "Will you be mine?"
Build me a castle, forty feet high,
So I can see her, as she rides by, etc.
#23 Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Her old grey goose is dead.
The one she's been savin'
To make a feather bed.
She drowned in the millpond
Standin' on her head.
Old gander's weepin'
Because his wife is dead.
The goslin's are mournin'
Cause their mammy's dead.
She only had one feather
A-stickin' in her head.
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Her old grey goose is dead.
#24 This Train
This train is bound for Glory, this train,
This train is bound for Glory, this train,
This train is bound for Glory,
Don't ride nothin' but the righteous and the holy,
This train is bound for Glory, this train.
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train
This train don't carry no gamblers,
No hypocrites, no midnight ramblers,
This train is bound for Glory, this train.
This train is built for speed now, this train
Fastest train you ever did see wow!
This train don't carry no liars, this train
No hypocrites and no high flyers.
This train don't carry no rustlers, this train
Sidestreet walkers, two-bit hustlers.
(Repeat first verse)
#25 Ths Bluetailed Fly
When I was young I used to wait
On Master and give him his plate,
And pass the botde when he got dry,
And brush away the blue-tail fly.
Chorus
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'd ride in the afternoon,
I'd follow after him with a hickory broom
The pony being rather shy,
When bitten by a blue-tail fly.
One day he rode around the farm,
The flies so numerous and they did swarm,
One chanced to bite him on the thigh,
The devil take the blue-tail fly.
The pony run, he jump, he pitch,
He threw my master in the ditch,
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue-tail fly.
They lay him under a 'simmon tree,
His epitaph is there to see;
"Beneath this stone, I'm forced to lie,
The victim of the blue-tail fly."
#27 If I Had A Hammer
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the mornin'
I'd hammer in the evenin', all over this land,
I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out warnin'
I'd hammer out the love between my brothers and
my sisters,
All over this land.
If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the mornin', etc.
If I had a song, I'd sing it in the mornin', etc.
Now I've got a hammer, and I've got a bell,
And I've got a song to sing, all over this land,
It's the hammer of justice, it's the hammer of liberty,
And it's the song about the love between my brothers
and my sisters,
All over this land.
#28 This Is My Father's World
This is my Father's world
And to my listening ears,
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world;
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,
His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father's world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their maker's praise.
This is my Father's world,
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass
He speaks to me everwhere.
This is my Father's world,
O let me ne'er forget,
That though the wrong
Seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world
The battle is not done
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heaven are one.
#29 Come, Thou Almighty King
Come, Thou Almighty King,
Help us Thy name to sing,
Help us to praise,
Father all glorious,
O'er all victorious,
Come and rule over us,
Ancient of days
Come, Holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear,
In this glad hour;
Thou, who Almighty art,
Now rule in ev'ry heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power.
#30 A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe,
His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not His equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would
be losing;
Were not the right man on our side, the man of God's
own choosing.
Do'st ask who that may be? Christ Jesus it is He, Lord
Sabbath His name,
From age to age the same, and He must win the battle.
And though this world with devils filled, should threaten
to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to
triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for Him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo His doom is sure; one httle word shall fell Him.
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them,
abideth;
The spirit and the gifts are ours through Him who
with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still; His kingdom is forever.
#31 Home On The Range
Oh, give me a home
Where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Chorus
Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Oh, give me a land,
Where the bright diamond sand,
Flows leisurely down the stream,
Where the graceful white swan
Goes gliding along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.
Where the air is so pure
The zephyrs so free,
The breezes so balmy and bright,
That I would not exchange
My home on the range
For all of the cities so bright.
How often at night
When the heavens are bright
With the light of the glittering stars,
I've stood there amazed,
And asked as I gazed,
If their glory exceeds that of ours.
#32 I'm Happy When I'm Hiking
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tamp;
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp;
I'm happy when I'm hiking,
Pack upon my back.
Off the beaten track,
Out in the open country.
That's the place for me,
With a real Scout friend,
To the journey's end,
10, 20, 30, 40, 50 miles a day,
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp;
(Repeat the song)
#33 National Embalming School
We'll live for you, we'll die for you
National Embalming School.
We'll lift you up, we'll set you down
About six feet underground.
Post Mortum, Post Mortum, Post Mortum
Autopsy we won't have
(Repeat 2 lines)
Slash, gash, smash, bash
We've got to find the reason
Oh, how the body stinks
It must be out of season
We'll live for you, we'll die for you
National Embalming School.

#36 Dem Bones
Lord he though he'd make a man
DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN
Made 'em out of mud and a little bit a sand
DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN
I KNOWED IT BROTHER, YES INDEED I KNOWED
IT BROTHER
I KNOWED IT BROTHER, DEM BONES GONNA
RISE AGAIN
Thought he'd make a woman too
The Lord didn't know quite what to do
Took a rib from Adam's side
For to make Miss Eve, to be his bride
Put 'em in a garden wide and fair
Told 'em to eat what they found there
Peaches, pears, plums and such
But the apple tree you better not touch
One day Miss Eve was walking around
Spied that tree all loaded down
Serpent crawling around that trunk
At Miss Eve, his eye he wunk
Eve, she just took a little pull
Then she filled her fig leaf full
Adam he took just a little bite
Said um-um woman that sure am nice
One day the Lord was walking around
Spied those peelings all over the ground
The the Lord cried out in his mighty voice
That shook the heavens to the joists
Cried, Adam, Adam wher art thou
Here I is Lord, Fs comin' now
Adam, Adam did you eat these
No massa Lord, I spect it was Eve
Then the Lord rose up in his mighty wrath
Said ya'll just beat it right down the path
Put an angel at the door
Said ya'll don't come back here no more
Well, Eve, she took the needle, Adam took the plow
That's why we're all working now
To this tale there is no more
Eve got the apple, Adam got the core.

Her head was made out of an artichoke.

With her head under water they would float, float, float.

One pointed out and the other pointed in.

#39 On Top Of Old Smokey
On top of old Smokey,
All covered with snow,
I lost my true lover,
For courting too slow.
For courting's a pleasure,
And parting is grief,
And a false-hearted lover
Is worse than a thief.
For a thief will just rob you
And take what you have,
But a false-hearted lover
Will lead you to the grave.
And the grave will decay you,
And turn you to dust,
Not one boy in a hundred
A poor girl can trust.
They'll hug you and kiss you,
And tell you more lies,
Than cross-ties on a railroad,
Or stars in the sky.
Oh come all you maidens,
And listen to me,
Never place your affection,
On a green willow tree.
For the leaves they will wither,
And the roots they will die,
You'll all be forsaken,
And never know why.
On top of Old Smokey,
All covered with snow,
I lost my true lover,
For courting too slow.

The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see.

Out in the woods away out there

I see you ain't got no gun
And so I ran right out of there
But right behind me was the bear
Ahead of me I spied a tree
A great big tree, oh lucky me
The lowest branch was ten feet up
I'd have to jump and trust my luck
And so I jumped into the air

Cause I caught that branch on the way back down
This is the end there ain't no more
Unless I meet that bear once more.

Dwelt a miner, 'forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine

Sandals were for Clementine.

Ev'ry morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

Then the miner, 'forty-niner,
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he oughter find his daughter,
Now he's with his Clementine.

Robed in garments soaked in brine.
Though in life I used to hug her,
Now she's dead I draw the line.

Oh! How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning
Chorus
Oh! How I hate to get up in the morning,
Oh! How I'd love to remain in bed—
For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the
bugler call;
You yve got to get up, you yve got to get up,
You've got to get up this morning!
Someday I'm going to murder the bugler,
Someday they're going to find him dead—
I'll amputate his reveille, and step upon it heavily,
And spend the rest of my life in bed.
#71 The Horses Run Around
The horses run around, their feet are on the ground,
Oh, who will wind the clock while I'm away, away,
Go get the ax, there's a hair on baby's chest;
Oh, a boy's best friend is his mother, his mother.
While looking out the window, a second-story window,
I slipped and sprained my eyebrow on the pavement,
the pavement.
Go get the Listerine, sister has a beau,
Oh, who cut the sleeves off father's vest, his vest.
A-peeking through the knothole, in grandpa's wooden leg,
Oh, who has built the shore so near the ocean, the ocean,
Go get the alcohol, Willy wants a rub,
For grandma's teeth will soon fit baby, fit baby.
While walking in the moonlight, the bright and sunny
moonlight,
She kissed me in the eye with a tomato, tomato,
We feed the baby garlic so we find him in the dark,
An onion, is a husky vegetable, a table.
She spanked him with a shingle, and made his panties
tingle.
Because he socked his little baby brother, his brother,
A snake's belt always slips, just because he has no hips,
And he wears a necktie around his middle, his middle.

Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
It steams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
#93 Oh, Susanna
1 come from Alabama, with my banjo on my knee;

A-coming down the hill.

The tear was in her eye;
Says I, I'm coming from the South;
Susanna, don't you cry.

#110 Titanic
Well, they built the ship Titanic,
To sail the ocean blue;
And they thought they had a ship
That the water wouldn't go through.
But the Lord's almighty hand,
Said the ship would never land.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Chorus
It was sad, (so sad)
It was sad! (so sad)
It was sad when the great ship went down
To the bottom of the sea
(Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives)
I was sad when the great ship went down.
Oh, they were not far from shore,
Say a thousand miles or more;
When the rich refused to associate with the poor.
So they sent them down below
Where they were the first to go.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Chorus
They put the lifeboats out on the dark and
stormy sea
And the band struck up with
"Nearer my God to Thee."
The heroes saved the weak as the ship
began to leak.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
The Captain stood on deck with a tear
in his eye,
As the last boat left he waved them
all good-bye.
He thought he'd made a slip,
so he went down with the ship.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Chorus
The moral we obtain from this story of woe
and pain
Is that if you're rich, there's no need
to be so vain.
Cause in the good Lord's eyes,
You're the same as other guys.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Chorus

But a poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, skin and bones,
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong.
Chorus
You load sixteen tons and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can V go,
I owe my soul to the company store.
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine,
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the strawboss hollered, "Well, bless my soul!"
Chorus
Now when you see me comin', you better step aside,
Another man didn't and another man died,
I've got one fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get you, the left one will.
Chorus

And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
It's grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun, we've no less day
to sing
God's praise, than when we first begun.
Amazing Grace! How warm the sound
That gave new life to me
He will my shield and portion be
His word my hope secures.

Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee,
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy side, a healing flood,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath, and make me pure.
Should my tears forever flow,
Should my zeal no languor know,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and Thou alone,
In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

#121a Battle Hymn of the Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of
wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible
swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Chorus
Glory, glory! Hallelujah! (3 times)
His truth is marching on.

circling camps;
They have building Him an altar in the evening dews
and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and
flaring lamps;
Our God is marching on.
Chorus
I have read a fiery gospel, writ in burnished rows
of steel;
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my
grace shall deal;
Let the hero, born of woman, crush the serpent
with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
Chorus
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never
call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His
judgement seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant,
my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Chorus
In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across
the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men Holy, let us die to make men
free,
While God is marching on.

#122 The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's
last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the
perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly
streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that out flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream;
"Tis the star-spangled banner; oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country shall leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps'
pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terrors of flight or the gloom of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved home and wild war's desolution,
Blest with victr'y and peace, may the heav'n-rescued
land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us
a nation.
Then conquer we must when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
#123 Yankee Doodle
Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Good'in
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty puddin'.
Chorus

And with the girls be handy.
Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni.

#124 Dixie
I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten;

In Dixieland where I was born in,
Early on one frosty mornin';
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixieland.
Chorus
The I wish I was in Dixie, Horray! Horray!
In Dixieland I'll take my stand to live and
die in Dixie;

Makes you fat or a little fatter;

To Dixieland I'm bound to travel,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixieland.

Before I knew Mariah's name
Or heard her wailing-whinin'

And the sun was always shinin'
Then one day I left that girl

And now I'm lost, so doggone lost
Not even God can find me.
Chorus
Out here they have a name for rain, for wind
And fire only and when you're lost
And all alone, there ain't no word for lonely
Now I'm a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me,
Mariah blow my love to me
I need my love beside me.

Come join our happy fun.

Until the day I die,
And as I go, I laugh and sing,
Beneath God's clear blue sky.

And sauerkraut and spec;

How could you be so mean,
I told you you 'd be sorry
For inventin' that machine,
Now all the neighbor's cats and dogs

A-walkin' in the store.
He bought a pound of sausages
And laid them on the floor,
The boy began to whistle,
He whistied up a tune,
and all the little sausages
Went dancin' round the room.
One day the thing got busted,
The darn thing wouldn't go,
So Johnny Verbec he climbed
Inside to see what made it so,
His wife she had a nightmare,
And was walkin' in her sleep,
She gave the crank a deuce of a yank
And Johnny Verbec was meat.
