    The Barkshire Tragedy
    (Traditional)



    A varmer he lived in the West Countree
    With a hey down, bow down
    A varmer he lived in the West Countree
    And he had daughters, one, two and three
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    As they were walking by the river's brim
    With a hey down, bow down
    As they were walking by the river's brim
    The eldest push'd the youngest in
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    O sister, O sister, pray gie me thy hand
    With a hey down, bow down
    O sister, O sister, pray gie me thy hand
    And I'll gie thee both house and land
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    I'll neither, I'll neither gie thee hand nor glove
    With a hey down, bow down
    I'll neither, I'll neither gie thee hand nor glove
    Unless thou'lt gie me thy own true love
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    So down she sank and away she swam
    With a hey down, bow down
    So down she sank and away she swam
    Until she came to the miller's dam
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    O vather, vather, here swims a swan
    With a hey down, bow down
    O vather, vather, here swims a swan
    Very much like a drownded gentlewoman
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    The miller he fot his pole and hook
    With a hey down, bow down
    The miller he fot his pole and hook
    And he fished the fair maid out of the brook
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    O miller, I'll gie thee guineas then
    With a hey down, bow down
    O miller, I'll gie thee guineas then
    If thoul't fetch me back to my father again
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    The miller he took her guineas ten
    With a hey down, bow down
    The miller he took her guineas ten
    And he pushed the fair maid in agen
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    But the Crowner he came and the Justice too
    With a hey down, bow down
    But the Crowner he came and the Justice too
    With a hue and a cry and a hullabaloo
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    They hanged the miller beside his own gate
    With a hey down, bow down
    They hanged the miller beside his own gate
    For drowning the varmer's daughter Kate
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    The sister she fled beyond the seas
    With a hey down, bow down
    The sister she fled beyond the seas
    And died an old maid among black savagees
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    So I've ended my tale of the West Countree
    With a hey down, bow down
    So I've ended my tale of the West Countree
    And they calls it the Barkshire Tragedee
    And I'll be true to my love
    If my love'll be true to me

    He will bring happiness in a pipe
    he'll ride away on his silver bike
    and apart from that
    he'll be so kind in consenting to blow your mind
    fly Translove Airways gets you there on time
    Fly Jefferson Airplane gets you there on time
    he will bring orchids for my lady
    the perfume will be an excellent kind
    and apart from that he'll be so kind in consenting to blow your mind
    Fly Translove Airways gets you there on time
    Fly Jefferson Airplane gets you there on time

    The Barefoot Boy With Boots On
    Composer(s): Asa Martin
    Performer(s): John McCutcheon



    Oh, the night was dark and stormy
    And the moon kept shining bright
    The stars cast burning rays down
    On the storm that raged that night
    The lightning struck the cowshed
    And the cows all chewed their cuds
    The moonlight set the prairie afire
    In the middle of the woods

    Oh, the barefoot boy with boots on
    Came a-crawling down the street
    His pants were filled with pockets
    And his boots were filled with feet
    He was born when he was a baby
    His grandma's pride and joy
    His only sister was a girl
    And his brother was a boy

    He never was one of triplets
    That came of being twins
    His legs were fastened to his knees
    Just below the shins
    His arms were fastened to his neck
    Several inches from his shoulder
    When he was grown, he was a man
    And every year got older

    At last he married a woman
    Who quickly became his wife
    He could not stay single
    And lead a married life
    His wife was full of notions
    And her mouth was full of tongue
    She raised a dozen children
    All born when they were young

    Six girls and five boys
    And then another child
    They never tried to tame them
    Just let them all go wild
    The youngest was the baby
    And the oldest was born first
    The good one was the very best
    And the mean one was the worst

    They never knew their ages
    And they did not seem to care
    They knew they had a birthday
    Coming to them every year
    They never knew their father's age
    But they always had a hunch
    That he was born before their day
    And was the oldest of the bunch

    And when they died, they could not speak
    And their names they could not tell
    And the girls all went to Heaven
    And the boys all went to...

    Can I Go With You
    Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
    Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



    The day you came my way
    I was such a fool to say
    All the things I said about you just to make you jealous
    But I've learnt my lesson then
    Now I'm prepared to start again
    If I promise to be true
    Can I go with you

    Whenever you're around
    All the boys I know are found
    Trying to be the one to hold you by the hand
    But I feel if it's O.K.
    Only one thing I can say
    If I promise to be true
    Can I go with you

    Can I take you by the hand
    Can I love you
    Please tell me
    Please tell me
    Can I go with you

    If you think I'm a fool
    Let me tell you there's no rule
    That can stop me wanting you
    And I do, so help me
    I won't feel like having fun
    Till you say that I'm the one
    So if I promise to be true
    Can I go with you
    If I promise to be true
    Can I go with you

    Your butt is wide, well mine is too
    Just watch your mouth or I'll sit on you
    The word is out, better treat me right
    'Cause I'm the king of cellulite
    Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right

    My zippers bust, my buckles break
    I'm too much man for you to take
    The pavement cracks when I fall down
    I've got more chins than Chinatown

    Well, I've never used a phone booth
    And I've never seen my toes
    When I'm goin' to the movies
    I take up seven rows

    Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on you know
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    Don'tcha call me pudgy, portly or stout
    Just now tell me once again who's fat

    When I walk out to get my mail
    It measures on the Richter scale
    Down at the beach I'm a lucky man
    I'm the only one who gets a tan
    If I have one more pie a la mode
    I'm gonna need my own zip code

    When you're only having seconds
    I'm having twenty-thirds
    When I go to get my shoes shined
    I gotta take their word

    Because I'm fat, I'm fat, sha mone
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it you know
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds
    Lemme tell you once again who's fat

    If you see me comin' your way
    Better give me plenty space
    If I tell you that I'm hungry
    Then won't you feed my face

    Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    Woo woo woo, when I sit around the house
    I really sit around the house

    You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know it
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know, you know, you know, come on
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    And you know all by myself I'm a crowd
    Lemme tell you once again

    You know I'm huge, I'm fat, you know it
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know I'm fat, you know, hoo
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know
    (Fat, fat, really really fat)
    And the whole world knows I'm fat and I'm proud
    Just tell me once again who's fat

    The Bare Necessities
    Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
    First release by: Phil Harris and Bruce Reitherman - 1967
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Look for the bare necessities
    The simple bare necessities
    Forget about your worries and your strife
    I mean the bare necessities
    Old Mother Nature's recipes
    That brings the bare necessities of life

    Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
    I couldn't be fonder of my big home
    The bees are buzzin' in the tree
    To make some honey just for me
    When you look under the rocks and plants
    And take a glance at the fancy ants
    Then maybe try a few

    The bare necessities of life will come to you
    They'll come to you!

    Look for the bare necessities
    The simple bare necessities
    Forget about your worries and your strife
    I mean the bare necessities
    That's why a bear can rest at ease
    With just the bare necessities of life

    Now when you pick a pawpaw
    Or a prickly pear
    And you prick a raw paw
    Next time beware
    Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
    When you pick a pear
    Try to use the claw
    But you don't need to use the claw
    When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
    Have I given you a clue ?

    The bare necessities of life will come to you
    They'll come to you!

    So just try and relax, yeah cool it
    Fall apart in my backyard
    'Cause let me tell you something little britches
    If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
    You're working too hard

    And don't spend your time lookin' around
    For something you want that can't be found
    When you find out you can live without it
    And go along not thinkin' about it
    I'll tell you something true

    The bare necessities of life will come to you

    Can I Go On? Composer(s): Quincy Jones - Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson Performer(s): Michael Jackson



    Lose it?
    Lose it?
    I don't even know the first thing
    About what they're feeling
    What am I afraid of?
    Don't know what I'm made of
    Can I go on
    Not knowing?

    Feeling?
    Feeling?
    Something tells me
    That it's more than I can deal with
    Though I never knew the song
    Some words still catch on
    Like caring and sharing
    Being together no matter

    Can I go on
    Not knowing?
    Don't know what I'm made of
    Why am I afraid of feeling?
    Feeling?
    If I dare to take a chance
    Would someone lead me?

    Faster Than The Speed Of Night
    Composer(s): Jim Steinman; Bonnie Tyler
    Performer(s): Bonnie Tyler; Zoe McCulloch



    I don't want to let another minute get by
    They're slipping through our fingers, but we're ready to fly
    The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
    We got the music in our bodies and the radio

    And when the morning arrives it'll all be gone
    Disappearing in (to) the crack of down
    We better make our move now before the sun is awake
    It's time to put up or shut up and to pick up the pace

    And I don't want to let another minute get by
    Love is going to get us while the moon is in the sky
    We may be running out of right, but never running out of steam
    We're acting on a hunch, and we'll be acting out of dream

    They really isn't any time to lose
    They're going to catch us if we wait until it gets too light
    You're such a pretty boy
    Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
    But you gotta move faster
    Faster than the speed of night

    Faster than the speed of night
    Faster than the speed of night
    It's all we ever wanted
    And all we'll ever need
    And it's slipping through our fingers
    Faster than the speed of night

    Faster than the speed of night
    Faster than the speed of night
    Faster than the speed of night
    Faster than the speed of night

    Let me show you how to drive me crazy
    Let me show you how to make me feel so good
    Let me show you how to take me to the edge of the stars and then back again
    You've gotta show me how to drive you crazy
    You've gotta show me all the things you want to happen to you
    We've gotta tell each other everything we always wanted someone to do

    I don't want to push you now and I don't want to rush
    We're getting closer every second now, but close is not enough
    The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
    We got the music in our fingers and the radio

    They really isn't any time to lose
    They're going to catch us if we wait until it gets too light
    You're such a pretty boy
    Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
    But you gotta move faster
    Faster than the speed of night

    Faster than the speed of night
    Faster than the speed of night
    It's all we ever wanted
    And all we'll ever need
    And it's slipping through our fingers
    Faster than the speed of night

    Faster than the speed of night
    Faster than the speed of night
    It's all we ever wanted
    And all we'll ever need
    And it's slipping through our fingers
    Faster than the speed of night

    Faster than the speed of night
    Faster than the speed of night
    Faster than the speed of night
    Faster than the speed of night

    The Baptism Of Jesse Taylor
    Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Sanger Shafer
    Performer(s): Tanya Tucker
    and multiple other artists



    Among the local taverns there'll be a slack in business
    'Cause Jesse's drinking came before the groceries and the rent
    Among the local women there'll be a slick in cheatin'
    'Cause Jesse won't be steppin' out again
    They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
    Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
    They all cried hallelujah when Jesse's head went under
    'Cause this time he went under for the Lord

    The scars on Jesse's knuckles were more than just respected
    The county courthouse records tell all there is to tell
    The pockets of the gamblers will soon miss Jesse's money
    And the black eye of the law will soon be well
    They baptized Jesse Taylor...

    From now old Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
    And tell them how much Jesse hooked up with little Jim
    Now Jimmy's got a daddy and Jesse's got a family
    And Franklin County's got a lot more man
    They baptized Jesse Taylor...

    I've been meaning to ask you this for such a long long time

    Can I get to know you better?

    Ride the waves of everlove

    Faster faster
    Faster than the speed of life

    Moving farther out each day

    Burning up what's in your way

    Faster faster
    Faster than the speed of life
    Faster faster
    Faster than the speed of life

    Screaming through the walls of inhibition
    Past the stream, you're breaking free
    There you stand, attained and in confusion
    Spread your arms and come to me

    Faster faster
    Faster than the speed of life
    Faster faster

    Bantam Cock
    Composer(s): Jake Thackray
    Performer(s): Jake Thackray



    He was a fine upstanding bantam cock
    So brisk and stiff and spry
    With a springy step and a jaunty plume
    And a purposeful look in his eye
    In his little black laughing eye there was

    I took him to the coop and introduced him to
    Me seventeen wild eyed hens
    He upped and he tupped as a hero tups
    He bowed to them all and then
    He upped and he tupped 'em all again

    And then upon the peace of me ducks and me geese
    He rudely did intrude
    With a glazed eye and open mouth
    They bore him with fortitude
    And a little bit of gratitude

    He jumped me giggling guinea fowl
    He thrust his attentions upon
    Me twenty hysterical turkeys and
    A visiting migrant swan
    And the bantam thundered on

    He ravaged me fan tailed pigeon and
    Me lily white columbine
    And as I was locking up me budgerigar
    He jumped me parrot from behind
    Who was sitting on me shoulder at the time

    Then all of a sudden with a gasp and a wheeze
    He clasped his wings to his head
    Lay flat on the ground with his feet in the air
    Me bantam cock lay dead
    And the vultures circled overhead they did

    What a noble bird, what a champion cock
    What a way to live and to die
    I was digging him a grave to save his bones
    From the hungry buzzards in the sky
    When the bantam opened up a sly little eye

    He gave me a wink and a terrible grin
    The way that rapists do
    He said you see them big daft buggers up there
    They'll be down in a minute or two
    They'll be down in a minute or two

    Can I Get A Witness Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland First release by: Marvin Gaye - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists



    Listen everybody, especially you girls
    Is it right to be left alone
    While the one you love is never home?
    I love too hard, my friends sometimes say
    But I believe, I believe
    That a woman should be loved that way
    But it hurts me so inside
    To see her treat me so unkind
    Somebody, somewhere tell her it's unfair

    Can I get a witness?
    Can I get a witness?
    Can I get a witness?
    Somebody

    Is it right to be treated so bad
    When you've given everything you had?
    Even tossin' in my sleep
    'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
    Now, you chicks do agree
    That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
    Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah

    Up early in the morning with her on my mind
    Just to find out all night that I've been cryin'
    But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
    So I'm gonna stick by her till the very end
    But she causes so much misery I forget how
    Love is supposed to be
    Somebody, somewhere, tell her it ain't fair

    Can I get a witness?
    I want a witness
    Witness, witness
    Witness, witness

    Everybody knows, especially you girls
    Love can be sad
    But I have a love that's twice as bad
    Now all you chicks agree
    That this ain't the way its's supposed to be
    Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah

    I want a witness
    I want a witness
    I want a witness
    I want a witness

    Faster Horses (The Cowboy And The Poet)
    Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
    Performer(s): Tom T. Hall;
    Bobby Bare; Jesse and Noah



    He was an old-time cowboy, don't you understand
    His eyes were sharp as razor blades
    His face was leather tan
    His toes were pointed inward from a-hangin' on a horse
    He was an old philosopher, of course
    He was so thin I swear you could have used him for a whip
    He had to drink a beer to keep his britches on his hips
    I knew I had to ask him about the mysteries of life
    He spit between his boots and he replied

    "It's faster horses, younger women
    Older whiskey, and more money"

    He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stains
    He said, "It don't do men no good to pray for peace and rain
    Peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity
    And buffalo chips is all it means to me"

    I told him I was a poet, I was lookin' for the truth
    I do not care for horses, whiskey, women or the loot
    I said I was a writer, my soul was all on fire
    He looked at me an' he said
    "You are a liar"

    "It's faster horses, younger women
    Older whiskey, and more money"

    Well, I was disillusioned, if I say the least
    I grabbed him by the collar and I jerked him to his feet
    There was something cold and shiny layin' by my head
    So I started to believe the things he said

    Well, my poet days are over and I'm back to being me
    As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality
    If my boy ever asks me what it is that I have learned
    I think that I will readily affirm

    "It's faster horses, younger women
    Older whiskey, and more money"
    "Faster horses, younger women
    Older whiskey, and more money"
    "Faster horses, younger women
    Older whiskey, and more money"

    The Bannerman
    Composer(s): Roger Cook - Herbie Flowers - Roger Greenaway
    Performer(s): Blue Mink



    So we waved our hands as we marched along
    and the people smiled as we sang our song
    and the world was saved as they listened to the band
    and the Bannerman held the banner high

    he was ten feet tall and he touched the sky
    and I wish that I could be a Bannerman

    Glory
    Glory
    Glory

    listen to the band
    Sing the same old story
    ain't it something grang

    to be good as you can
    like a Bannerman!

    And the drums went Boom as the cornets play
    and the tuba 'umba''d' all the way
    and the kids and the dogs were laughing as they ran
    And the Bannerman held the banner high
    with an Allelujah in his eye
    and I wish that I could be a Bannerman

    Glory
    Glory
    Glory...

    So we reached the square on the top of the hill
    and the music stopped and we stood still
    and a few were saved and the people said
    Amen

    Then we all got up and we formed a queue
    and the drums went Bang as the trumpets blew
    and we marched back down into the town again

    Can I Forget You
    Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
    Performer(s): Irene Dunne



    Soon you leave me
    This last night flying
    Pale stars are weeping
    Sad breezes sigh

    When you leave me
    Can love end with trying?
    Can love so living
    So quickly die?

    Refrain:

    Can I forget you?
    Or will my heart remind me
    That once we walked in a moonlight dream?

    Can I forget you
    Or will my heart remind me
    How sweet you made the moonlight seem

    Will the glory of your nearness fade
    As moonlight fades in a veil of rain?

    Can I forget you
    When every night reminds me
    How much I want you back again

    (repeat refrain)

    Fast Freight
    Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
    Performer(s): The Kingston Trio;
    The Easy Riders; Tim Hardin; Serendipity Singers



    As I listen for the whistle, lie awake and wait
    Wish the railroad didn't run so near
    'Cause the rattle and clatter of that old fast freight
    keeps a-makin' music in my ear
    Go bum again
    Go bum again
    Oo

    [Chorus:]
    Hear the whistle blow
    Hear the whistle blow
    Clickety clack, clickety clack
    The wheels are saying to the railroad track
    Well, if you go, you can't come back
    If you go, you can't come back
    If you go, you can't come back

    Well, I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I used to be
    work as hard as any man in town
    I got a purty gal
    She thinks the world of me
    Man would be a fool to let her down
    Go bum again
    Go bum again
    Oo

    [Chorus]

    So ev'ry night I listen, wonder if it's late
    In my dreams I'm ridin' on that train
    I feel my pulse a-beatin' with that old fast freight
    and thank the Lord I'm just a bum again
    Go bum again
    Go bum again
    Oo

    [Chorus]

    Down On The Banks Of The Ohio
    ((Finnish Version: Yksi Kasvoton (Lea Laven) - 1972))
    (Traditional)
    First release by: Ernest V. Stoneman - 1928
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I asked my love to take a walk
    To take a walk, just a little walk
    Down beside where the waters flow
    Down by the banks of the Ohio

    And only say that you'll be mine
    In no others' arms entwine
    Down beside where the waters flow
    Down by the banks of the Ohio

    I held a knife against his breast
    As into my arms he pressed
    He cried "my love, don't you murder me
    I'm not prepared for eternity"

    I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
    I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
    I've killed the only man I love
    He would not take me for his bride

    And only say that you'll be mine
    In no others' arms entwine
    Down beside where the waters flow
    Down by the banks of the Ohio

    The Bandit
    Composer(s): Milton Nascimento - Zeb Turner - Michael Carr
    Performer(s): Percy Faith
    and multiple other artists



    (Olé, a cangacheiro, you bandit from Brazil)
    (Olé, he is the bandit, the bandit from Brazil)

    I'm the quickest on the trigger
    When I shoot I shoot to kill
    I'm a hero down in Rio
    Where they talk about me still

    Once I robbed a big ranchero
    Who was rich beyond compare
    And to ransom held his daughter
    She was young and she was fair

    (Olé, a cangacheiro, you bandit from Brazil)
    (Olé, he is the bandit, the bandit from Brazil)

    She was sweet and she was tender
    There was lovelight in her eyes
    In my arms she soon surrendered
    Very much to my surprise

    I refused her father's ransom
    And I kept the greater prize
    Now at night we ride together
    'Neath the blue Brazilian sky

    Adios to you, Amigo, Adios to you, my friend
    Ole, O Cangacheiro, the Bandit of Brazil
