SONGS
I am an old womanNamed after my mother
My old man is another
Child who’s grown old
And lightning was desire
This old house would’ve burned down
A long time ago
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin’
Is just a hard way to go
I had me a cowboy
He wasn’t much to look at
Just a free ramblin’ man
That was a long time
And no matter how I tried
Those years just flown by
Like a broken down dam
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin’
Is just a hard way to go
I can hear all their buzzin’
And I ain’t done nothing since I woke up today
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening
And have nothing to say
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin’
Is just a hard way to go
Is just a hard way to go
We’re B’nai B’rith campers,
rough and ready we,
happy go lucky as you can plainly see.
We love our coastal ranges.
And we’re for B’nai B’rith we are for it strong,
And when we get back to our camp
we’ll all be Full of pep and song.
Hip Hip Hooray…
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Into the light of a dark black night
Into the light of a dark black night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
I was just in the country, I was thinking about you.
There were weeping willows singing, they were singing about you.
I could smell the sweet fragrance of the flowers in the morning dew.
I was feeling so happy I was hoping you’d feel it too
And I want you to know that I love you so and the seasons never end
And I can’t wait to see you again
I’ve been wandering through the mountains and it’s never felt so good
To be standing on the hillside wondering if I could
Reach the green grassy spot on the top where I knew I should
Find the pleasure that’s been waiting for me up in the woods
And when I reached that peak I heard someone speak
Saying “do it all again!”
And I can’t wait to see you again.
Well I’m on my way once more to who knows where
If I go with the flow my senses will lead me there
With the freedom of my soul and the wisdom of nature’s care,
there will always be something for me and you to share
And I want you to know that I love you so and the seasons never end
And I can’t wait to see you again
And I want you to know that I love you so and this feeling never ends
And I can’t wait to see you again
Old Farmer Jones had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat that would not leave his home
He tried and he tried to give that cat away
And where that man is today, nobody can say
BUT…the cat came back the very next day
Oh the cat came back
You know they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, he just couldn’t stay away
No, la-di-da-da. No, no, la-di-da-da
He gave it to a man who was going way out west
He told him to take it to the girl that he loved best
First the train hit the tracks, then it jumped the rail
And nobody survived to tell the bloody tale
CHORUS
The neighbor man said he would shoot that cat on sight
So he loaded up his gun with nails and dynamite
When the gun was fired the shot was heard for miles around
But 97 pieces of a man was all they found
CHORUS
He gave it to a boy with a ten pound note
He said take it to the river and set the cat afloat
The rope they tied around his neck it must have weighed a ton
And now they drag the river where the little boy has drowned
CHORUS
The H-bomb blew just the other day
The atom bomb blew in the same old-fashioned way
Russia’s gone, China’s gone, now the USA
The whole (dang) world’s just blown itself away
CHORUS
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you’ve ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It’s only life after all, yeah
And lightness has a call that’s hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety ’til I sank it
I’m crawling on your shores
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There’s more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine, yeah
The closer I am to fine, yeah
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-Grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There’s more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine, yeah
The closer I am to fine, yeah
To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as I’d been the night before
And I went in seeking clarity
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountain
Yeah, we go to the Bible, we go through the work out
We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout
There’s more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine, yeah
Almost heaven, West VirginiaBlue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin’ down the road, I get a feelin’
That I should’ve been home yesterday, yesterday
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
On a wagon bound for market
There’s a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there’s a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all the their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer’s night
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona
“Stop complaining”, said the farmer
Who told you a calf to be
Why don’t you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all the their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer’s night
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all the their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer’s night
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona

Shelo yigamer le’olam:
Hachol vehayam
Rishrush shel hamayim
Berak hashamayim
Tefilat ha’adam.
Oh Lord, My God
I pray that these things never end:
The sand and the sea
The rush of the water
The crash of the heavens
The prayers of the heart
One generation from now, I will be a family man
From my children I’ll learn all I can
Two generations from now, youth will be a memory
With all my life’s decisions staring back at me
But I will do my part, for the world will still go around
When I am gone, and my past lays in the ground
Three generations from now, if I am a lucky man
I’ll watch my grandchildren grow into men
Four generations from now, no matter the circumstance
Contact with me will only be through photographs
My children will tell their kin what life was like back then
But they wont care until it’s too late to take it in
We can’t keep up this charade, for our beauty will surely fade
And our skin will tell the tales of our lives
So please dont stop to shed a tear, for time will not wait for you here
We must carry on or time will pass us by
But I will do my part, for the world will still go around
When I am gone, and my past lays in the ground
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun
It’s all right
It’s all right

Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms
Lay down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest
Lay down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest
My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the West
The sun will shine in my back door some day
The sun will shine in my back door some day
March winds will blow all my troubles away
I wish I was a headlight on a north-bound train
I wish I was a headlight on a north-bound train
I’d shine my light through the cool Colorado rain
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
A man who swears he’s not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
‘Til the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin’ ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm
Well, I’ve been ‘fraid of changin’
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m gettin’ older, too
Well, I’ve been ‘fraid of changin’
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m gettin’ older, too
I’m gettin’ older, too
Ah, take my love, take it down
Oh, climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide will bring it down
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide will bring it down
Oh, the landslide will bring it down
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there’s always tomorrow
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won’t let show
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
That you can’t carry
I’m right up the road
I’ll share your load
If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh (call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)
Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me
(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)
I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin’
It’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’
He’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome
I could die
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
So many times I’ve played around
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
Every place I go, I’ll think of you
Every song I sing, I’ll sing for you
When I come back, I’ll bring your wedding ring
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
And I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times, I won’t have to say
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
And he started the investigation
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law
Every time my name gets mentioned
The papa said, “oy, if I get that boy
I’m gonna stick him in the house of detention”
I don’t know where I’m going
I’m on my way
I’m taking my time
But I don’t know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
Down by the schoolyard
Seein’ me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
I don’t know where I’m going
I’m on my way
I’m taking my time
But I don’t know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
Down by the schoolyard
Seein’ me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Seein’ me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Leapin and hoppin’ on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if I won’t have to work no more
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if I won’t have to cry no more
Leapin and hoppin’ on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if I won’t have to walk no more
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if I won’t have to talk
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night
Got a mind of their own
We’re all Kings and Queens
With a throne of our own
Tryin to raise a family
Is an empty home
We got to learn to stick together
Hate to be here alone
‘Cause the world is a place
That will eat you alive in one day
Said the world is a place
That you can’t survive without faith
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know some day it’ll all turn around
Because
I’ve been praying for
For the people to say
That we don’t wanna fight no more
They’ll be no more wars
And our children will play
One day (one day), One day (one day)
One day (one day), One day (one day)
One day (one day), One day (one day)
Win or lose
We all lose…
When I was a child my family would travelDown to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there’s a backwards old town that’s often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I’m sorry, my son, but you’re too late in asking
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we’d shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I’m sorry, my son, but you’re too late in asking
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal ’til the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I’m sorry, my son, but you’re too late in asking
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
I’ll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin’
Just five miles away from wherever I am
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I’m sorry, my son, but you’re too late in asking
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
Perhaps they’re better left unsung
I don’t know, don’t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who’s to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home

With my eyes I see
With my hands I do
With myself I welcome you
With my eyes I see

With myself I welcome you
Simplify yourself (Say just a little bit)
Simplify yourself (Let your actions speak for themselves)
Simplify yourself (Emor, emor me’at)
Simplify yourself (Aseh, Aseh harbeh)
I was born to this world with a heart and a soul
And although it is broken I can try to make it whole
As I find my way through the smiles and pain
Some things change but the truth remains
It’s easy to talk but hard to get it done
To break through the clouds and rise into the sun
Soon will come the day when we all know how to be
Until then won’t you sing with me…
Simplify yourself (Say just a little bit)
Simplify yourself (Let your actions speak for themselves)
Simplify yourself (Emor, emor me’at)
Simplify yourself (Aseh, Aseh harbeh)

Slip slidin’ away, Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away
I know a man
He came from my hometown
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said, “Delores, I live in fear
My love for you’s so overpowering
I’m afraid that I will disappear”
Chorus
And, I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
She said, “A good day
Ain’t got no rain”
She said, “A bad day’s when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been”
Chorus
And I know a father
Who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons
For the things he’d done
He came a long way
Just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and headed home again
Chorus
God only knows
God makes his plan
The information’s unavailable
To the mortal man
We’re working our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we’re gliding down the highway
When in fact we’re slip slidin’ away
Chorus
Got out of town on a boat for the Southern IslandsSailing to reach before a following sea
She was makin’ for the Trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papeete
We got eighty feet of waterline, nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin’
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world looking for that woman girl
And you know it will
And you know it will
You understand now why you came this way
‘Cause the truth you might be runnin’ from is so small
But it’s as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin’
She is all I have left and music is her name
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin’
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world lookin’ for that woman girl
And you know it will
And you know it will
And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested, somebody fine will come along
Make me forget about loving you and the Southern Cross
Summertime and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush, little baby, don’t you cry
One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise up singin’
Yes, you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky
Mm, but ’til that morning
There is nothin’ can harm you
Yes, with Daddy and Mommy standin’ by
Summertime and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich (daddy’s rich)
And your ma is good lookin’ (your ma is good lookin’)
So hush, little baby, baby don’t you cry
Oh don’t you cry, oh don’t you cry (don’t)
Oh don’t you cry, oh don’t you cry (cry)
Well, I’m a-runnin’ down the road, tryin’ to loosen my load
I’ve got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One said she’s a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
Take it easy
Now I’m a-standin’ on the corner in Winslow, Arizona
With such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin’ down to have a look at me
Come on, baby, don’t say maybe
I’ve got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
Open up, I’m climbin’ in to take it easy
Well, I’m a-runnin’ down…
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good-bye.
Teach your children well,
Their father’s hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you’ll know by.
Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.
Can’t know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Their children’s hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you’ll know by.
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
Don’t forget to tell your friends
When you see them again
O’ I love you
O’ I love you
I wanna hold your hand
C’mon let’s twist again
I wanna hold your hand
When I see you again
Don’t forget to tell your friends
This is going to end
O’ and I needed you
O’ I need you
Our love is right
Our love is real
Our love is now
Our love is real
I want to hold your hand
When I see you again
Don’t forget to tell yourself
When you see them again
O’ I love you
O’ I love you
Our love is real
Our love is right
Our love is now
Our love is right
Don’t forget to tell your friends
When you see them again
O’ I love you
O’ I love you
You say you wanna start something new
And it’s breaking my heart you’re leaving
Baby, I’m grieving
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh baby baby, it’s a wild world
I’ll always remember you like a child, girl
And it’s breaking my heart in two
Because I never want to see you sad girl
Don’t be a bad girl
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware
Beware
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh baby baby, it’s a wild world
And I’ll always remember you like a child, girl
But if you want to leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware
Beware
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh baby baby, it’s a wild world
And I’ll always remember you like a child, girl
And it’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh baby baby, it’s a wild world
And I’ll always remember you like a child, girl
I’m thumbing my way into North Caroline
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I’m a-hopin’ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, momma rock me
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down
Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town
But I ain’t turning back to living that old life no more
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Hey, rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, momma rock me
Caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
But he’s a heading west from the Cumberland gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she’s the only one
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey momma rock me
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me (mama rock me, mama rock me)
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, ey yeah momma rock me (you can rock me, rock me)
You’ve got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you’re miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you’ve got a friend in me
Yeah, you’ve got a friend in me
You’ve got a friend in me
If you got troubles, I got them too
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you
We stick together, we can see it through
‘Cause you’ve got a friend in me
Yeah, you’ve got a friend in me
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do
It’s me and you, boy
Our friendship will never die
You’re gonna see it’s our destiny
You’ve got a friend in me
You’ve got a friend in me
You’ve got a friend in me
