The Sierry Petes Composer(s): Gail Gardner - Bill Simon Performer(s): Don Edwards
Away up high in the Sierry Petes Where the yeller pines grows tall Ole Sandy Bob an' Buster Jig Had a rodeer camp last fall
Oh, they taken their hosses and runnin' irons And mabbe a dawg or two An' they 'lowed they'd brand all the long-yered calves That come within their view
And any old doggie that flapped long yeres An' didn't bush up by day Got his long yeres whittled an' his old hide scorched In a most artistic way
Now one fine day ole Sandy Bob He throwed his seago down "I'm sick of this cow-pyrography And I 'lows I'm a-goin' to town"
So they saddles up an' hits 'em a lope Fer it warnt no sight of a ride And them was the days when a Buckeroo Could ile up his inside
Oh, they starts her in at the Kaintucky Bar At the head of Whisky Row And they winds up down by the Depot House Some forty drinks below
They then sets up and turns around And goes her the other way An' to tell you the Gawd-forsaken truth Them boys got stewed that day
As they was a-ridin' back to camp A-packin' a pretty good load Who should they meet but the Devil himself A-prancin' down the road
Sez he, "You ornery cowboy skunks You'd better hunt yer holes Fer I've come up from Hell's Rim Rock To gather in yer souls"
Sez Sandy Bob, "Old Devil be damned We boys is kinda tight But you ain't a-goin' to gather no cowboy souls 'Thout you has some kind of a fight"
So Sandy Bob punched a hole in his rope And he swang her straight and true He lapped it on to the Devil's horns An' he taken his dallies too
Now Buster jig was a riata man With his gut-line coiled up neat So he shaken her out an' he built him a loop An' he lassed the Devil's hind feet
Oh, they stretched him out an' they tailed him down While the irons was a-gettin hot They cropped and swaller-forked his yeres Then they branded him up a lot
They pruned him up with a de-hornin' saw An' they knotted his tail fer a joke They then rid off and left him there Necked to a Black-Jack oak
If you're ever up high in the Sierry Petes An' you hear one Hell of a wail You'll know it's that Devil a-bellerin' around About them knots in his tail
Where did summer go? How'd I miss the change of season? All at once the wind blows rough It's cold enough to snow
In the street below People laugh, they got no reason Don't they know it's cold enough to snow
When we were together And you were staying Funny but the weather still felt like May in did-December Now the chill winds blow, sunny skies they're only teasing You won't show, it's cold enough to snow
On the radio, there's a man says 'it ain't freezing' What's he know? He didn't watch you go
Now the sun can't shine If it wants to, fine But it's cold enough to snow
Ridin' My Thumb To Mexico Composer(s): Johnny Rodriguez Performer(s): Johnny Rodriguez; Bluegrass Etc.; Bill Emerson
This old highway seems so lonesome
when you're going where you've been And the lonesome song will make you cry time and time again If I had listened to a friend of mine ten years ago today I'd have a better job than what I've got today
But the billboards on the highway and the brake-lights on the cars Make me jump out on the highway with my bag and my guitar If she comes or if she goes it doesn't matter anymore 'cause I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico
Chorus: Ridin' my thumb to Mexico Well it don't matter when or how I go I'll ride this thumb till I see her again So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico
Well the reason why she left me's not the reason that I'm here I'm a travellin' kind of man just need a change of atmosphere If there's any place I haven't been at all that's where I'll go So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico

Down in front of Casey's Old brown wooden stoop On a summer's evening We formed a merry group Boys and girls together We would sing and waltz While the "Ginnie" played the organ On the sidewalks of New York

That's where Johnny Casey And little Jimmy Crowe With Jakey Krause the baker Who always had the dough Pretty Nellie Shannon With a dude as light as cork First picked up the waltz step On the sidewalks of New York
East side, West side All around the town The tots sang 'Ring-a-Rosie' 'London Bridge is falling down! Boys and girls together Me and Mamie O'Rorke Tripped the light fantastic On the sidewalks of New York
Things have changed since those times And some are up in "G" Others are wand'rers But all feel just like me They would part with all they've got Could they but once more walk With their best girl and have a twirl On the Sidewalks of New York
East side, West side All around the town The tots sang 'Ring-a-Rosie' 'London Bridge is falling down! Boys and girls together Me and Mamie O'Rorke Tripped the light fantastic On the sidewalks of New York

You Are Sixteen
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
First performance/First release by: Lauri Peters and Brian Davies - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Rolf:
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on
Liesl:
To write on
Rolf:
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You need someone older an wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you
Liesl:
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those
Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you
----------
Maria:
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Waiting for life to start
Somebody kind who touches your mind
Will suddenly touch your heart
Liesl:
When that happens, after it happens
Nothing is quite the same
Somehow I know I'll jump up and go
If ever he calls my name
Maria:
Gone are your old ideas of life
The old ideas grow dim
Lo and behold you're someone's wife
And you belong to him
You may think this kind of adventure
Never may come to you
Darling sixteen going on seventeen
Wait a year...
Liesl:
I'll wait a year...
Maria:
Just wait a year...
Maria and Liesl:
Or two

I Have Confidence Composer(s): Richard Rodgers First release by: Julie Andrews - 1965
What will this day be like? I wonder What will my future be? I wonder It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free My heart should be wildly rejoicing Oh, what's the matter with me?
I've always longed for adventure To do the things I've never dared And here I'm facing adventure Then why am I so scared
A captain with seven children What's so fearsome about that?
Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries If I don't I just know I'll turn back I must dream of the things I am seeking I am seeking the courage I lack
The courage to serve them with reliance Face my mistakes without defiance Show them I'm worthy And while I show them I'll show me
So, let them bring on all their problems I'll do better than my best I have confidence they'll put me to the test But I'll make them see I have confidence in me
Somehow I will impress them I will be firm but kind And all those children (Heaven bless them!) They will look up to me
And mind me with each step I am more certain Everything will turn out fine I have confidence the world can all be mine They'll have to agree I have confidence in me
I have confidence in sunshine I have confidence in rain I have confidence that spring will come again Besides which you see I have confidence in me
Strength doesn't lie in numbers Strength doesn't lie in wealth Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers When you wake up -- Wake Up!
It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to All I trust becomes my own I have confidence in confidence alone (Oh help!)
I have confidence in confidence alone Besides which you see I have confidence in me!
The Shut-In's Prayer Composer(s): Jimmy Martin - Paul Williams Performer(s): Jimmy Martin & The Sunny Mountain Boys
Last night as the moon pulled anchor And sailed down the milky way It peeked through an old front window Where a lonely shut-in lay
The moon seemed to shine much brighter Each star seemed to nod it's head The night seemed so strangely peaceful When they heard what the shut-in said
Dear God way up in heaven I earnestly pray to thee And my prayer, oh Lord, was thou answered And lay a healing hand on me
This vain world seems to forget me, Lord And I've been a shut-in so long I'm needing thy love, dear Jesus And still in my heart a song
Lord, I ask not for gold or silver And no diamonds to call my own Just give me that touch of healing I'm so weak and all alone
I trust that I'm not asking too much Of thy heavenly wealth When humbly, dear Lord, I pray thee Just give me back my health
Then off to dreamland the shut-in drifted Yes, God heard what the shut-in said The night seemed so strangely peaceful When they heard what the shut-in said
Cold Composer(s): Robert Smith; Lol Tolhurst; Simon Johnathon Gallup Originally performed by: The Cure
Scarred Your back was turned Curled like an embryo Take another face You will be kissed again I was cold as I mouthed the words And crawled across the mirror I wait Await the next breath Your name Like ice into my heart A shallow grave A monument to the ruined age Ice in my eyes And eyes like ice don't move Screaming at the moon Another past time Your name Like ice into my heart
Everything as cold as life Can no one save you? Everything As cold as silence And you never say a word Your name Like ice into my heart Your name Like ice into my heart
