Fermín


Fermín
Composer(s): Agustín Lara
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists



Por su temple y su valor y por su arte verdadero
todos dicen que armillita es un maestro de cuerpo entero
Ídolo de la afición por el arte y el embrujo
con su capote de lujo la tierra hispana lo consagró

En un pase de Fermín se ha enredado una chiquilla
esa chiquilla es Sevilla, armilla, armilla
Pinturero del mandil, torerazo maravilla
que domina con postín, eres amo y señor de la fiesta cañí: ¡olé!

Really And Truly


Really And Truly
Composer(s): Jack Popplewell - Michael Carr
Performer(s): Vera Lynn



Constant for ever, my love for you
As the blue of a tropic lagoon
As the flight
Through the night
Of the moon

Really and truly I love you
No-one I cherish above you!
Even the light of a star
Fades at the sight of the dream that you are!

Really and truly my poor heart
Bows in surrender to your heart
I love no other but you
Oh really and truly I do!

Really and truly my poor heart
Bows in surrender to your heart
I love no other but you
Believe me darling
Really and truly I do!

Canoítas Tristes


Canoítas Tristes Composer(s): Horacio Guarany - Ciro Rodolfo Ovejero Performer(s): Horacio Guarany



Llanto que se va en la tarde buscando dónde anidar lleva río abajo el canto de esta pena vieja de mi Litoral ... Guitarreando una esperanza sauce y viento llevaran galopando, la nostalgia del gurí dolido de tanto remar! Sangra el ceibo al besar el sol! Su garganta quiere cantar Canoitas tristes, siempre río abajo canten en vez de llorar! Liñador del alma, el viento quiere ser un pescador y arrojar sobre la pena del mudo ranchito, su pesca mayor Despeinando su tristeza camalotales en flor aguas arriba, cantando alzarán un día su ardiente verdor! Sangra el ceibo al besar el sol! Su garganta quiere cantar Canoitas tristes, siempre río abajo canten en vez de llorar!

Ferme Tes Jolis Yeux


Ferme Tes Jolis Yeux
Composer(s): Virgile Thomas; René de Buxeuil
Performer(s): Berthe Sylva;
and various other artists



Dans son petit lit blanc et rose
Suzette jase en souriant
Elle babille mille choses
A sa douce et chère maman
Mais, chut, il faut dormir bien vite
Nous avons assez bavarde
Faites dodo chère petite
Car petit père va gronder
Et tout en berçant la gamine
La mère lui chante câline

{Refrain:}
Ferme tes jolis yeux
Car les heures sont brèves
Au pays merveilleux
Au beau pays du rêve
Ferme tes jolis yeux
Car tout n'est que mensonge
Le bonheur n'est qu'un songe
Ferme tes jolis yeux

Dans sa chambre de jeune fille
Suzette devant son miroir
A l'heure où l'étoile scintille
Vient se contempler chaque soir
Elle admire sa gorge ronde
Son corps souple comme un roseau
Et dans sa tête vagabonde
Naissent mille désirs nouveaux
Laisse là tes folles idées
Gentille petite poupée
{au Refrain}

Enfin c'est le bonheur suprême
L'instant cher et tant désiré
Avec le fiancé qu'elle aime
Suzon vient de se marier
Et le soir dans la chambre close
Quand sonne l'heure du berger
Elle laisse, pudique et rose
S'effeuiller la fleur d'oranger
Puis elle écoute avec tendresse
Son époux chanter plein d'ivresse
{au Refrain}

Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat


Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat
Composer(s): Don Raye
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and multiple other artists



In Harlem there's a little place where everyone goes
To see the way a washerwoman washes her clothes
If you like boogie woogie rhythm, she's got a beat
Let the boogie woogie washerwoman give you a treat!

On every afternoon at one the sessions begin
And all the boys from all the bands come down and sit in
They sit around and knock each other out when they play
While the boogie woogie washerwoman washes all day

Rubbley-ub-dub, that's just the way she rubs
Rubbley-ub-dub, that's just the way she scrubs
Rubbley-ub-dub, she wears out all her dubs
She rubs and rubs her knuckles right down to the nubs!

Rubbley-ub-dub, that's how she kicks it off
Rubbley-ub-dub, she keeps it nice and soft
Rubbley-ub-dub, till someone hollers on
"Scrub me mama with a boogie beat!"

You really ought to visit there if you've never been
It doesn't cost a penny, just come down and walk in
If you like boogie woogie rhythm, you'll get a treat
Let the boogie woogie washerwoman give you the beat!

Rub rub rub rub, a-rubbin' all day
She's a-scrubbin' a boogie woogir rhythm all day!
Scrub, rub, a-washin' all day
Scrub me mama with a boogie beat!

Scrub me mama, scrub me clean
And let me dream till
Rubbley-ub-dub, that's the way she scrubs
Rubs rubs rubs, rubbib' along
Singin' a baloogie woogie song

Toot-toot-toot-doodley-ah-dah!
That's how she kicks it off
Ti-diddley-ah-hah!
She keeps it nice and soft
Ti-diddley-ah-hah!
To someone, all is all
Scrub me mama with a boogie beat!

You really ought to visit there if you've never been
It doesn't cost a penny, just come down and walk in
If you like boogie woogie rhythm, you will get a treat
Let the boogie woogie washerwoman give you a treat!
Scrub me mama with a boogie beat!

Cannonball


Cannonball



Barrelin' down the highway
Wheelin' right along
Hear the tires hummin'
Hummin' out a song
The rumble of the diesel
The shiftin' of the gears
The rhythm when he's rollin'
It's music to his ears
Cannonba-a-a-ll! Cannonba-a-a-ll!

Any kind of weather
Any time of day
When the rig is ready
He'll be on his way
He'll carry any cargo
He'll go anywhere
Name the destination
And brother, he'll be there
Cannonba-a-a-ll! Cannonba-a-a-ll!

Feriantes
Composer(s): Sellés; Portolés
Performer(s): Raphael



Otra vez la carreta siguio su andar
Muy atras el pueblito quedo
Otra vez el silencio y la soledad
En el alma la niña sintio

Otra vez las estrellas la ven llorar
Y callar su secreto de amor
En el barro del camino
Se mancho su corazon

Y mañana tendra que reir
Y a otros pueblos sus cantos llevar
Y de noche a su carro
De nuevo a llorar

The Boogie Man


The Boogie Man
Composer(s): Kinky Friedman - Panama Red
Performer(s): Kinky Friedman



Oh the boogie man, gonna get you an'
Snatch you up and whip you off to Boogie land
If you don't watch out
He'll make you scream and shout
He's gonna have them ants crawlin' in your pants
With them creatures in your seat
you're gonna get up on your feet
You know you gotta dance
To the Boogie Man
He the Boogie Man

Well the boogie man got a little piece of land
Got a mean ol lady keep him gentle as a lamb
Got a dog named Frog and a VW van
And the neighbors all think he's a insurance man
But when the stars come out, the kids all shout
Hey bring him out, bring him out
He picks up his guitar and there's a change inside
From the good Doctor Jekyll to the B-a-d Mr Hyde

Cannibals


Cannibals
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Mark Knopfler



Well he's daddy's little boy he plays with his toys
He holds on to his daddy's hand
His daddy says Sonny you're a big strong boy
You're gonna be a big strong man
And they go play catch they go play ball
They go take a walk along the sand
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
Living in a big strong land

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can I have a dinosaur
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more

Down in Louisiana there's a hurricane coming
The little boy climbs the stairs
And all along the levee all the people come running
And the little boy's saying his prayers
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
And he's asking for his G.I. Joe
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
And says my little one I love you so

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Leave a light outside the door
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more

Lay down your head now don't get out of bed
Don't you let the bedbugs bite
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
And I'll see you in the morning light
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
The hurricane had blown away
And daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy
And he was singing at the break of day

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can I be a warrior
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more

Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy why do people go to war
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more

Viens petite sœur au blanc manteau
Viens c'est la ballade des copeaux
Viens petite girl in red blue jean
Viens c'est la descente au fond de la mine
Viens donc grand shootée du désespoir
Viens donc visiter mes laminoirs
Viens donc chevaucher les grands rouleaux
Et t'coincer la tête dans un étau
Viens petite femme de St-Tropez
Nous on fume la came par les cheminées
Et si le bonheur n'est pas en retard
Il arrive avec son gros cigare

Viens dans ce pays
Viens voir où j'ai grandi
Tu comprendras pourquoi la violence et la mort
Sont tatoués sur mes bras comme tout ce décor
Pour tout leur pardonner et me tenir tranquille
Il faudrait renier les couteaux de la ville

Viens petite bourgeoise demoiselle
Visiter la plage aux de Wendel
Ici pour trouver l'Eldorado
Il faut une shooteuse ou un marteau
La vallée d'la Fensch ma chérie
C'est l'Colorado en plus petit
Y a moins de chevaux et de condors
Mais ça fait quand même autant de morts
Ma belle femelle de métal
Je t'invite dans mon carnaval
Ici la cadence c'est vraiment trop
Ici y a pas d'place pour les manchots

Viens dans mon pays
Viens voir où j'ai grandi
Tu comprendras pourquoi la violence et la mort
Sont tatoués sur mes bras comme tout ce décor
Pour tout leur pardonner et me tenir tranquille
Il faudrait renier les couteaux de la ville

Tu ne connais pas, mais t'imagines
C'est vraiment magnifique une usine
C'est plein de couleurs et plein de cris
C'est plein d'étincelles surtout la nuit
C'est vraiment dommage que les artistes
Qui font le spectacle soient si tristes
Autrefois y avait des rigolos
Ils ont tous fini dans un lingot
Le ciel a souvent des teintes étranges
Le nom des patelins s'termine par ..ange
C'est un vieux pays pas très connu
Y a pas de touristes dans les rues

Viens dans mon pays
Viens voir où j'ai grandi
Tu comprendras pourquoi la violence et la mort
Sont tatoués sur ma peau comme tout ce décor
Pour tout leur pardonner et me tenir tranquille
Il faudrait renier les couteaux de la ville

Viens petite sœur au blanc manteau
Viens c'est la ballade des copeaux
Viens petite girl in red blue jean
Viens c'est la descente au fond d'la mine
Viens c'est la descente au fond d'la mine

The Bonnie Blue Flag


The Bonnie Blue Flag
Composer(s): Harry McCarthy
Performer(s): Douglas Jimerson
and multiple other artists



We are a band of brothers
Native to the soil
Fighting for the property
We gained by honest toil
And when our rights were threatened
The cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights, Hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!

As long as the Union
Was faithful to her trust
Like friends and brethren
kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery
Attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star

First gallant South Carolina
Nobly made the stand
Then came Alabama
And took her by the hand
Next, quickly, Mississippi
Georgia, and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star

Ye men of valor gather round
The banner of the right
Texas and fair Louisiana
Join us in the fight
Davis, our loved President
And Stephens statesmen are
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star

And here's to brave Virginia
The Old Dominion State
With the young Confederacy
At length has linked her fate
Impelled by her example
Now other States prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star

Then here's to our Confederacy
Strong we are and brave
Like patriots of old we'll fight
Our heritage to save
And rather than submit to shame
To die we would prefer
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star

Then cheer, boys, cheer
Raise a joyous shout
For Arkansas and North Carolina
Now have both gone out
And let another rousing cheer
For Tennessee be given
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag
Has grown to be eleven!

Canned Music


Canned Music
Composer(s): Dan Hicks
Performer(s): Dan Hicks; Nick DeCaro



Canned music, canned music, playing on the radio
Canned music, canned music, with out a doubt it doesn't go
Favorites on the jukebox are only half the show when it's
Canned music, canned music

A little before she left me, I asked her what it's all about
She said I feel like dancin', She feel like stepping out
I took her with the van, where the band was on the stand, playin'
Live music live music

She got us on the dance floor, to me it was a sight
I never seen my baby movin', like the moves she made on me that night
I did not have a chance the way that music made me dance, it was ah
Live music, live music

The rhythm was all around us, we was really steppin' out
My baby said I'm livin' for this music, I asked her what it's all about
She said I'm just a silly girl, this stuff has got me in a whirl
It's just some live music, live music

And that was the night she left me, danced herself into my memory
My baby had to leave me for the drummer, I guess I'll never solve that mystery
I think I've learned my lesson just don't get too near the band when it's
Live music, live music

A little before she left me, I asked her what it's all about
She said she feel like dancin', she feel like steppin' out

Fennimores Lied


Fennimores Lied
Composer(s): Georg Kaiser; Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Ute Lemper



Ich bin eine arme Verwandte
und gehöre zu andern dazu
Ach, wenn sich doch keiner um mich kümmern wollte!
Doch das tuen Onkel und Tante
und nichts freut sie, was ich auch tu'
Das ist kein Leben, das ist nur verdruß
den man, was soll denn werden, ertragen muß

Ich hab' einen Koffer voll Habe
den schleppe ich überall hin
Ach, wenn ich mich doch seiner entledigen könnte!
Weil ich mir die Finger wund schabe
und auch nicht die Kräftigste bin

Und nirgends will man mich behalten
weil ich nirgends gern geseh'n bin
Am liebsten möchte ich einfach weglaufen
und mein bißchen Dasein verwalten
nach meinem eigenen Sinn!
Denn das ist kein Leben, das ist nur Verdruß
den man, was soll denn werden, ertragen muß

Manchmal könnt' ich das träumen
ich wäre gar nicht verwandt
Und keiner dürfte mich holen und schicken
ich müßte mich nicht mehr ducken und bücken
ich drückte dem Nächsten freudig die Hand
ich bin ja nicht mit ihm verwandt
Ach, das wär ein Leben, das wär ein Genuß
wenn man vergessen könnte, daß man verwandt sein muß

The Bombardier Song


The Bombardier Song
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



The weather's fine for flying
The fog has gone to bed
There's such good visibility
You can see victory ahead
Let's fill the air with Eagles
Let's fill the clouds with men
And we will see a world that's free
When we fly home again
Said the bombardier to the pilot
Well give us a little ride
The pilot said to the navigator
Why don't you slide inside
The navigator he looked around and said to the engineer
Ah your hands are dirty
your pants are dirty
you're dirty behind the ear
Said the bombardier to the gunner
well how are we fixed for lead
The pilot said to the radioman
how's the weather ahead
Said the bombardier to the pilot
Hand us that pretty crate
5 degrees to the right'll make it
Just as sure as fate
The ship belonged to the bombardier
who opened his little bag
He saw the target and locked the target
and suddenly (bombs away)
Said the bombardier to the pilot
Call it a day, and then
the pilot said to the radioman
say we done it again
The weather's fine for flying
The fog has gone to bed
There's such good visibility
You can see victory ahead
Let's fill the air with Eagles
Let's fill the clouds with men
And we shall see a world that's free
When we fly home again
Let's fill the air with Eagles
Let's fill the clouds with men
And we will see a world that's free
When we fly home again

Canned Goods


Canned Goods
Composer(s): Greg Brown
Performer(s): Greg Brown



Well let the wild winter wind bellow and blow
I'm as warm as a July tomato
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

Well there's a root cellar, fruit cellar down below
Watch your head now, and down we go
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

Well maybe you are weary and you don't give a damn
I bet you never tasted her blackberry jam
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

Oh, she got magic in her, you know what I mean
She puts the sun and rain in with her beans
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

What with the snow and the economy and everything
I think I'll just stay down here and eat until spring
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

When I go down to see Grandma, I gain a lot a weight
With her dear hands she gives me plate after plate
She cans the pickles, sweet and dill
And the songs of the whippoorwill
And the morning dew and the evening moon
I really gotta go down and see her soon
Cause the canned goods that I buy at the store
Ain't got the summer in 'em anymore
You bet Grandma as sure as you're born
I'll take some more potatoes and a thunder storm

There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

Fenesta che lucive e mò non luci
Sign' è ca Nenna mia stace ammalata
S'affaccia la sorella e me lo dice
Nennella toja è morta e s'è atterrata
Chiagneva sempe ca dormeva sola, ah!
Mò duorme co li muorte accompagnata!
Mò duorme co li muorte accompagnata!
Mò duorme co li muorte accompagnata!

Va nella chiesa e scuopre lo tavuto
Vide Nennella toja comm' è tornata
Da chella vocca che nasceano sciure
Mò n'esceno li vierme, oh che piatate!
Zi Parrocchiano mio, abbice cura
Na lampa sempe tienece allumata
Na lampa sempe tienece allumata
Na lampa sempe tienece allumata

De Cirkel


De Cirkel
((Adapted from: The Circle Game (Ian & Sylvia) - 1967))
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell - Raoul Van Bambost
Performer(s): Miek en Roel - 1970



Vandaag nog lacht het kind luid om het wonder
Van snelle waterjuffers in het riet
't schrikt nog voor de bliksem en de donder
en 't schreit als het een staartster vallen ziet

Het kind wiegt weg en weer met de getijden
't wordt groter met het wassen van het meer
Eens zullen zijn dromen hem bevrijden
Van leugens en beloftes van weleer

De seizoenen vliegen weg en weer
De houten paarden gaan op en neer
Wij draaien op de molen van de tijd
We tollen rond, kunnen niet terug
Het heden vliegt voorbij
Want het rad draait rond en rond
In de eeuwigheid

Lente komt voor zomer,herfst voor winter
Zestien jaren liepen 't kind voorbij
Men zegt hem: neem je tijd,het duurt niet lang meer
Voor jij het rad vertraagt en dan ben je vrij...

De seizoenen vliegen weg en weer
De houten paarden gaan op en neer
Wij draaien op de molen van de tijd
We tollen rond, kunnen niet terug
Het heden vliegt voorbij
Want het rad draait rond en rond
In de eeuwigheid

Jaren kwamen langs, mijn zoon is twintig
Zijn dromen onherkenbaar door de tijd
Morgen maakt hij nieuwe,misschien betere
De toekomst heeft hem door haar spel verleid

De seizoenen vliegen weg en weer
De houten paarden gaan op en neer
Wij draaien op de molen van de tijd
We tollen rond, kunnen niet terug
Het heden vliegt voorbij
Want het rad draait rond en rond
In de eeuwigheid

Cannabis


Cannabis Composer(s): Jean-Claude Vannier - Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Jean-Claude Vannier; Todd Bishop



La mort a pour moi le visage d'une enfant
Au regard transparent
Son corps habile au raffinement de l'amour
Me prendras pour toujours
Elle m'appelle par mon nom
Quand soudain je perds la raison
Est-ce un maléfice
Ou l'effet subtil du cannabis?
Elle m'appelle par mon nom
Quand soudain je perds la raison
Est-ce un maléfice
Ou l'effet subtil du cannabis?
La mort ouvrant sous moi ses jambes et ses bras
S'est refermée sur moi
Son corps m'arrache enfin les râles du plaisir
Et mon dernier soupir

Femmes, Je Vous Aime
Composer(s): Claude Barzotti; A.M. Gaspard
Performer(s): Claude Barzotti



Elles vous font faire des enfants qu'elles emmènent en s'en allant
Les femmes vous prennent et puis vous jettent sont bien plus machos que les mecs
Où sont les femmes d'autre fois qui ne nous coupaient pas en trois
Le père, le mari et l'amant, c'était le même en d'autres temps

Un jour elles ont tout voulu et on leur a tout accordé
Nous sommes les dindons, les cocus de leur nouvelle liberté
Où êtes-vous femmes d'antans qui savaient faire en même temps
Et les enfants, et les tartines, et la tendresse et la cuisine

Oh ! femmes, femmes, femmes
On vous aimait pourtant plus un homme ne vous comprend
Femmes, femmes, femmes
Qu'avez-vous fait de nous nous sommes là regardez-nous
Femmes, on ne comprend plus rien du tout, on ne sait plus à quoi on joue
Femmes, plus aucun homme ne sait vraiment ce que vous voulez et comment
Femmes, femmes, femmes

Le temps de vouloir vivre à deux, vous voilà déjà reparties
Le temps d'avoir ce que l'on veut, on n'en a déjà plus envie
Où sont donc les femmes d'avant, celles qui nous laissaient le temps
De leur faire un moment la cour avant de leur faire l'amour

Oh! femmes, femmes, femmes
On vous aimait pourtant plus un homme ne vous comprend
Femmes, femmes, femmes
Qu'avez-vous fait de nous nous sommes là regardez-nous
Femmes, on ne comprend plus rien du tout, on ne sait plus à quoi on joue
Femmes, plus aucun homme ne sait vraiment ce que vous voulez et comment
Femmes, femmes, femmes

Femmes, femmes, femmes, femmes, femmes
Femmes, femmes, femmes, femmes, femmes

The Bold Pedlar And Robin Hood


The Bold Pedlar And Robin Hood
(Traditional)



There chanced to be a Pedlar bold
A Pedlar bold there chanced to be
He put his pack all on his back
And so merrily trudged over the lea

By chance he met two troublesome men
Two troublesome men they chanced to be
The one of them was bold Robin Hood
And the other was little John so free

O Pedlar, Pedlar, what is in thy pack?
Come speedily and tell to me
I've several suits of the gay green silks
And silken bowstrings by two or three

If you have several suits of the gay green silk
And silken bowstrings two or three
Then, by my body, cries little John
One half of your pack shall belong to me

O nay, O nay, said the pedlar bold
O nay, O nay, that can never be
For there's never a man from fair Nottingham
Can take one half my pack from me

Then the Pedlar he pulled off his pack
And put it a little below his knee
Saying, If you do move me one perch from this
My pack and all shall gang with thee

Then little John he drew his sword
The Pedlar by his pack did stand
They fought until they both did sweat
Till he cried, Pedlar, pray hold your hand

Then Robin Hood he was standing by
And he did laugh most heartily
Saying, I could find a man of smaller scale
Could thrash the Pedlar and also thee

Go you try, master, says little John
Go you try, master, most speedily
For by my body, says little John
I am sure this night you will know me

Then Robin Hood he drew his sword
And the pedlar by his pack did stand
They fought till the blood in streams did flow
Till he cried, Pedlar, pray hold your hand

O Pedlar, Pedlar, what is thy name?
Come speedily and tell to me
Come, my name I ne'er will tell
Till both your names you have told to me

The one of us is bold Robin Hood
And the other is little John so free
Now, says the Pedlar, it lays to my good will
Whether my name I choose to tell to thee

I am Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
And I travelled far beyond the sea
For killing a man in my father's land
And from my country was forced to flee

If you are Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
And travelled far beyond the sea
You are my mother's own sister's son
What nearer cousins can we be?

They sheathed their swords, with friendly words
So merrily they did agree
They went to a tavern and there they dined
And cracked bottles most merrily
