With music by our side
To break the color lines
Let's work together
To improve our way of life
Join voices in protest
To social injustice
A generation full of courage
Come forth with me
Chorus:
People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right
One time
We are a part of the rhythm nation
This is the test
No struggle no progress
Lend a hand to help
Your brother do his best
Things are getting worse
We have to make them better
It's time to give a damn
Let's work together come on
Repeat Chorus

The Seal Of Seasons
The Seal Of Seasons
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): T. Rex
The seal of seasons moved with grace
Love
Upon the Orkney oceans face
Love
She swam and moved
Just like a prancer
A gypsy dancer
A salty shimmered shell of foam
Out of the depths she stood before me
One breath and shells grew on my nut tree
It swayed and swum
Just like a prancer
A gypsy dancer
A salty shimmered shell of foam
Her night it came and then she hooked her head
Unto the fleeing sun and then she fled
And flew away
Just like a prancer
A gypsy dancer
A salty shimmered shell of foam

Cocaine Bill And Morphine Sue
Cocaine Bill And Morphine Sue
(Traditional)
Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue
Strolling down the avenue two by two
Oh, honey
won't you have a little sniff on me
Have a sniff on me
Said Sue to Bill: "It'll do no harm
If we both just have a little shot in the arm"
Said Bill to Sue: "I can't refuse
'Cause there's no more kick in this darned ol' booze"
So they walked down first and they turned up main
Looking for a place they could buy cocaine
They came to a drugstore full of smoke
Where they saw a little sign sayin' "No more coke"
Now in the graveyard on the hill
Lies the body of Cocaine Bill
And in a grave right by his side
Lies the body of his cocaine bride
All o' you cokies is a-gonna be dead
If you don't stop a-sniffin that stuff in your head
Now where they went, no one can tell
It might have been heaven or it might have been ... Sniff”

Rhythm And Blue Jean Baby
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul
Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul
Who's the guy with the dancing feet
makes my heart start thumping with a rhythmy beat
it's my once in a lifetime, rhythm and blue jean baby
Get myself ready on a Saturday Night
with my eye lids painted and my dress real tight
for my one in a million rhythm and blue jean baby
We'll hear some soul and a little rock
keep on dancing till the music stops
for my be-bop-a-loo-la, rhythm and blue jean baby
Heh, Heh, Heh
Yooo oooh
We'll hear some soul and a little rock
keep on dancing till the music stops
for my one in a million, rhythm and blue jean baby
Who's the guy with the dancing feet
makes my heart start thumping with a rhythmy beat
it's my once in a lifetime, rhythm and blue jean baby
my be-bop-a-loo-la, rhythm and blue jean baby
Keep on dancing till the music stops
for little bit of soul and a lot of rock
Keep on dancing till the music stops
for little bit of soul and a lot of rock
Keep on dancing till the music stops
for little bit of soul and a lot of rock

The Scottish Soldier
The Scottish Soldier
(Traditional)
There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
There was none bolder, with good broad shoulder
He's fought in many a fray, and fought and won
He'd seen the glory and told the story
Of battles glorious and deeds neforious
But now he's sighing, his heart is crying
To leave these green hills of Tyrol
Because these green hills are not highland hills
Or the island hills, the're not my land's hills
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
They are not the hills of home
And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
Sees leaves are falling and death is calling
And he will fade away, in that far land
He called his piper, his trusty piper
And bade him sound a lay... a pibroch sad to play
Upon a hillside, a Scottish hillside
Not on these green hills of Tyrol
And so this soldier, this Scottish soldier
Will wander far no more and soldier far no more
And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside
You'll see a piper play his soldier home
He'd seen the glory, he'd told his story
Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
The bugles cease now, he is at peace now
Far from those green hills of Tyrol

Rhymes And Reasons
Rhymes And Reasons
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver; Peter, Paul and Mary
So you speak to me in sadness
and the coming of the winter
fear that is within you now that seems to never end
and the dreams that have escaped you and the hope that you've forgotten
and you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend
and you wonder where we're going, where's the rhyme, where's the reason
and it's you cannot accept it is here we must begin
to seek the wisdom of the children
and the graceful way of flowers in the wind
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
Like the music of the mountains and the colours of the rainbow
they're a promise of the future and the blessing for today
Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us
the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea
it is written: From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us
by the hand and by the heart they will comfort you and me
In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
And the song that I am singing is a prayer to unbelievers
come and stand beside us we can find a better way

The Scotsman
The Scotsman
Composer(s): Mike Cross
Performer(s): Bryan Bowers
and multiple other artists
Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
"See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!"
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scotish skirt
Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
They marvelled for a moment, then one said: "We must be gone
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along"
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards the trees
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes
"Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!"
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

Coca Cola Cowboy
Coca Cola Cowboy
Composer(s): Sam Atchley; Bud Dain; Steve Dorff; Sandy Pinkard
Performer(s): Mel Tillis
I called collect on the phone
You say you're tired and alone
But it sounds like someone else is lying there
She said don't call me no more
Don't you knock on my door
It's too late now, and I know you'll never change
She said....
You're just a Coca Cola cowboy
You got an Eastwood smile, and Robert Redford hair
But you walked across my heart like it was Texas
And you taught me how to say I just don't care
She said just leave me alone
And let me hang up this phone
'Cause he'll see me cry, and think I still love you
Please don't call me no more
I changed the locks on my door
It's time you understood that we are through
She said....
You're just a Coca Cola cowboy
You got an Eastwood smile, and Robert Redford hair
But you walked across my heart like it was Texas
And you taught me how to say I just don't care
She said...
You're just a Coca Cola cowboy
You got an Eastwood smile, and Robert Redford hair
But you walked across my heart like it was Texas
And you taught me how to say I just don't care
Yes she taught me how to say I just don't care

Rhumboogie
Composer(s): Hughie Prince; Don Raye
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters;
and various other artists
All Harlem's got a brand new rhythm
And it's burning up the dance floors
Because it's so hot
They took a little rhumba rhythm
And they added boogie-woogie
And-a look what they've got
Rhumboogie
Rhumboogie-woogie
It's Harlem's new creation
With a Cuban syncopation
It's a killer
Rhumboogie
Rhumboogie-woogie
The native rhythm haunts you
It's barbaric and it taunts you
It's a killer
Just plant your both feet on each side
Let both your hips and shoulders glide
Then throw your body back and ride
There's nothing like...
Rhumboogie
Rhumboogie-woogie
In Harlem or Havana
You can kiss the old Savanna
It's a killer
Oh, beat me daddy, eight-to-the-bar
Rhumboogie
Rhumboogie-woo-oogie
It's Harlem's new creation
With a Cuban syncopation
It's a killer
Rhumboogie
Rhu-umboogie-woo-oogie
The native rhythm haunts you
It's barbaric and it taunts you
It's a killer
Just plant you toes and both feet on the side
Let both your hips and shoulders glide
Then throw your body back and ride
Think a little of
The rhumba
The boogie
The woogie
Then put them
Both all together
You have rhumboogie...
Then all together sing rhumboogie
Rhumboogie-woogie
Rhumboogie
In Harlem or Havana
It'll kiss the old Savanna
It's a killer
It's a killer this rhumboogie
Rhumboogie
Rhumboogie
Rhumboogie-woogie-woogie-woogie-woogie
Do-do-do-do-diddleyada-do-diddleyada-do-do-dee
There's nothing like rhumboogie!

Rhumba Girl
Composer(s): Jesse Winchester
Performer(s): Nicolette Larson;
Evangeline; Donna Geddes
Well, I'm the same old girl that I used to be
I haven't changed at all
Same old walk, same old talk
That would run you up the wall
Same old face, same old smile
Same old baby blues
And I'm still doin' the Rhumba, baby
I'm still the girl for you
I'm still doin' the Rhumba, baby
I can't seem to quit
If my mama catches us doin' the Rhumba
My mama would just a-pitch a fit
But I can't help myself
It's much bigger than me
If I were you, I would hang onto
A Rhumba girl like me
Well, there's lotsa girls on a Florida night
With a lot slicker steps than me
The Boogaloo, the Funky Broadway
Are such a pretty sight to see
My step might be old-fashioned
But that's just fine with me
Cause I got a couple of Rhumba steps
That I think you'd like to see
I'm still doin' the Rhumba, baby
I can't seem to quit
If my mama catches us doin' the Rhumba
My mama would just a-pitch a fit
But I can't help myself
It's much bigger than me
If I were you, I would hang onto
A Rhumba girl like me
Well, I'm the same old girl that I used to be
I haven't changed at all
Same old walk, same old talk
That would run you up the wall
Same old face, same old smile
Same old baby blues
And I'm still doin' the Rhumba, baby
I'm still the girl for you
I'm still doin' the Rhumba, baby
I can't seem to quit
If my mama catches us doin' the Rhumba
My mama would just a-pitch a fit
But I can't help myself
It's much bigger than me
If I were you, I would hang onto
A Rhumba girl like me

Coat Of Many Colors
Coat Of Many Colors
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton
and various other artists
Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fog
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
Chorus:
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

Rhinestone Cowboy
Rhinestone Cowboy
Composer(s): Larry Weiss
Performer(s): Glen Campbell
I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know

Composer(s): Hill
Performer(s): Joe Loss
and multiple other artists
The scene changes
I’m in a park in Paris
But it’s so dark in Paris
Because I’m away from you
The scene changes
I’m in a lane in London
But there is rain in London
Because I’m away from you
I’ve been a fool to run away
To say that I’ve done away with love
Although the earth should swallow me
Your face would follow me forever
The scene changes
My ship at last is home bound
I’ll travel fast for I’ve found
I’ll always belong to you

Coal Tattoo
Coal Tattoo
Composer(s): Billy Edd Wheeler
Originally performed by: The Kingston Trio
Covered by various other artists
Travelin' down that coaltown road
Listen to those rubber tires whine
Goodbye to Buckeye and White Sycamore
I'm leavin' you behind
I've been a coal man all my life
Layin' down track in the hole
Got a back like an ironwood bent by the wind
Blood veins blue as the coal
Somebody said "That's a strange tattoo
You have on the side of your head"
I said "That's a blue print, left by the coal
Just a little more and I'd be dead"
And I love the rumble and I love the dark
I love the cool of the slate
But it's on down the new road lookin' for a job
It's the travelin' and lookin' I hate
I've stood for the union, walkin' the line
Fought against the company
Stood for the U. M. W. of A.
Now who's gonna stand for me?
I got no house and I got no pay
Just got a worried soul
And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
Left by the number nine coal
Someday when I'm dead and gone
To Heaven, the land of my dreams
I won't have to worry on losin' my job
To bad times 'n big machines
I ain't gonna pay my money away
For pensions and hospital plans
I'm gonna pick coal where the blue heavens roll
And sing with the angel bands
