Tom Joad ((Adapted from: John Hardy (Buell Kazee) - 1927)) Composer(s): Traditional - Woody Guthrie Performer(s): Woody Guthrie - 1940 and multiple other artists
Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen There he got his parole After four long years on a man killing charge Tom Joad come a walking down the road, poor boy Tom Joad come a walking down the road
Tom Joad he met a truck driving man There he caught him a ride He said "I just got loose from McAlester's Pen On a charge called Homicide, A charge called Homicide"
That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust Tommy turned his face toward home He met Preacher Casey and they had a little drink But they found that his family they was gone He found that his family they was gone He found his mother's old fashion shoe Found his daddy's hat And he found little Muley and Muley said "They've been tractored out by the cats They've been tractored out by the cats"
Tom Joad walked down to the neighbors farm Found his family They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car And his mother said "We got to git away" His mother said 'We got to get away"
Now the twelve of the Joads made a mighty heavy load But Grandpa Joad did cry He picked up a handful of land in his hand Said: "I'm stayin' with the farm till I die Yes, I'm stayin' with my farm till I die"
They fed him short ribs and coffee and soothing syrup And Grandpa Joad did die They buried Grandpa Joad by the side of the road Buried Grandma on the California side They buried Grandma on the California side
They stood on a Mountain and they looked to the West And it looked like the promised land That bright green valley with a river running through There was work for every single hand, they thought There was work for every single hand The Joads rolled away to Jungle Camp There they cooked a stew And the hungry little kids of the Jungle Camp Said "We'd like to have some too" Said: "We'd like to have some too"
Now a Deputy Sheriff fired loose at a man Shot a woman in the back Before he could take his aim again Preacher Casey dropped him in his track Preacher Casey dropped him in his track
They handcuffed Casey and they took him to Jail And then he got away And he met Tom Joad on the old river bridge And these few words he did say, poor boy These few words he did say
"I preached for the Lord a mighty long time Preached about the rich and the poor Us workin' folks got to all get together 'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore We ain't got a chance anymore"
The Deputies come and Tom and Casey run To the bridge where the water run down But the vigilante they hit Casey with a club They laid Preacher Casey on the ground They laid Preacher Casey on the ground
Tom Joad he grabbed that Deputy's club Hit him over the head Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night A Deputy and a Preacher lying dead, two men A Deputy and a Preacher lying dead
Tom run back where his mother was asleep He woke her up out of bed Then he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved Said what Preacher Casey said, Tom Joad He said what Preacher Casey said
"Ever'body might be just one big soul Well it looks that a way to me Everywhere that you look in the day or night That's where I'm gonna be, Ma That's where I'm gonna be
Wherever little children are hungry and cry Wherever people ain't free Wherever men are fightin' for their rights That's where I'm gonna be, Ma That's where I'm a gonna be
I Know That My Redeemer Lives Composer(s): Lewis D. Edwards; Samuel Medley
I know that my Redeemer lives! What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, he lives, who once was dead He lives, my ever living head!
He lives triumphant from the grave He lives eternally to save He lives exalted, throned above He lives to rule his Church in love
He lives to grant me rich supply He lives to guide me with his eye He lives to comfort me when faint He lives to hear my souls complaint
He lives to silence all my fears He lives to wipe away my tears He lives to calm my troubled heart He lives all blessings to impart
He lives to bless me with his love He lives to plead for me above He lives my hungry soul to feed He lives to help in time of need
He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly friend He lives and loves me to the end He lives, and while he lives, Ill sing He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King!
He lives and grants me daily breath He lives, and I shall conquer death He lives my mansion to prepare He lives to bring me safely there
He lives, all glory to his name! He lives, my savior, still the same What joy this blest assurance gives I know that my Redeemer lives!

I Know One Composer(s): Jack Clement Performer(s): Charley Pride and multiple other artists
When all your loves have ended When all your friends have flown Who'll be around to want you When all your loves have gone
Only a fool would do it After the way you've done And how many fools would have you I know one
This fool keeps wondering why he fell in love at all But you might need this fool around in case you fall After the party's over and you've had your fill of fun If you need a fool to forgive you...I know one
You never know you might be lonely when all your loves have missed It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra fool on your list After your heart's been broken and you need a place to run If you'll take a fool who loves you...I know one...I know one
Well, not too long ago in nineteen forty-four When every mother's son was goin' off to war They had to lift they spirits high (High!) For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pie Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have In hot spots in the Bronx They went to hear the kind of jazz You hear in funky honky-tonks
It made you wanna Jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin' You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town
It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall The plinkin' and the plunkin' drove 'em up the wall And they would dance and drink their gin (yeah!) And when the fuzz (fuzz) buzzed (buzzed), they'd join in So everybody partied 'till the cows came home 'cause that's what boogie's for And every night that dump would jump (jump, jump) And keep 'em comin' back for more
Because it made you wanna Jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin' You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town
It made you wanna Jump (jump!), shout (shout!) (Foo-der-acka-sacki) Wanna jump (jump!), shout (shout!) (Slip the talcum to me Malcom) You wanna jump (jump!), shout (shout!) (Floy-doy, floy-doy) To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down To the boogie-woogie beat of a piano, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha

Wearing stripes, arms up high, as tall as can be Nothing more than a frozen smile to see In the cage he'll defy all that's logical Under lights, stay up all night with his formula In the grip in the step of potential rage Oh it's hip, formulated to fascinate If you do it like this: jump! jump! Do it like this: jump! jump! She moves faster than any eye can see Moving parts that aren't moved normally In the haze what it isn't is what you see On and off, up and down, like a yo yo string Try to do it like this: jump! jump! No, no, like this: jump! jump! Do it for a kiss: jump! jump! Do it like this: jump! jump!
They shine, we shield our eyes to see what is the dazzling and the enchanted
They whine "come closer to me" That is the dizzying, the dancing sorcery Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump
Whoa whoa, my little doggie, he does a trick Ruff ruff! He went to school to learn how to sit We were excited, delighted having fun As we decended the exit, got off the bus We got friends, we got fans now, and this is proof Can you tell me why that guy is on the roof? Oh ho, do it like this: jump! jump! Try it like this: jump! jump! Do it more like this: jump! jump!

Took the car and drove off the hills Saw the flashing lights and saw them die I left behind society that kills Me and Nancy waved them all goood-bye I took the car the sun was going down
Saw the changing colours of the sky An old Apache canyon our camp-ground
Secure and safe together made us sigh
Took the car and filled the trunk with wood Took it back and made of it a fire
To be a child again would be so good Me and Nancy warm in our desire Took the car and drove it everywhere Through the land where all the west began Desert wind was blowing in our hair
I Know It Composer(s): Madonna Performer(s): Madonna
I don't know why I thought that I could make you happy These tears I cry for you are so hopeless, yeah I don't know why I thought that we were going somewhere But you grabbed your coat and you were out the door And now I know you don't care
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I used to think you were my pretty angel comin' down Well now you've just proven me wrong What about the letters we have written All the things we've said and done I'll just stand here while you count the battles you have won
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it
But I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it
Take your love and run from me Is this the way love's supposed to be You don't think that I can see But you can't fool me
But I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it

I Know I Got More Than My Share Composer(s): Grant Clarke; Howard Johnson
To every one beneath the sun, God sends his blessings down Like dew they fall upon us all, in every home they're found To some a name, to others fame, His gifts are every where The poor man and the rich a like, will both receive their share
Through life we go and never know what future years may hold The skies of gray may fade away and some day turn to gold So don't complain there's naught to gain, just learn to live and love We all must wait to learn our fate, and trust to Him above
God gives the wise men their wisdom, sends all the poets their dreams To father and mother their love for each other we all get a share, so it seems I thought that I was forgotten My life was an empty affair But He thought of me too, and when God gave me you I know I got more than my share
