Farewell Angelina
The bells of the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles And the trumpet play slow Farewell Angelina The sky is on fire And I must go. There's no need for anger There's no need for blame There's nothing to prove Ev'rything's still the same Just a table standing empty By the edge of the sea Farewell Angelina The sky is trembling And I must leave. The jacks and queens Have forsaked the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies Now file past the guards In the space where the deuce And the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina The sky is folding I'll see you in a while. See the cross-eyed pirates sitting Perched in the sun Shooting tin cans With a sawed-off shotgun And the neighbors they clap And they cheer with each blast Farewell Angelina The sky's changing color And I must leave fast. King Kong, little elves On the rooftoops they dance Valentino-type tangos While the make-up man's hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarrass anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is embarrassed And I must be gone. The machine guns are roaring The puppets heave rocks The fiends nail time bombs To the hands of the clocks Call me any name you like I will never deny it Farewell Angelina The sky is erupting I must go where it's quiet. |

Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at, Or maybe it's the weather or something like that, But Daddy, you been on my mind. I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset, I am not pleading or saying, "I can't forget you." I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent, But yet, Daddy, you been on my mind. Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow, Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow. It don't even matter who you're waking with tomorrow, Daddy, you're just on my mind. I am not asking you to say words like "yes" or "no," Please understand me, I 'm not calling for you to go. I'm just breathing to myself, pretending not that I don't know, That Daddy, you been on my mind. When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror. Oh you know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near. I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear As someone who has had you on her mind. As someone who has had you on her mind |

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast. Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, Crying like a fire in the sun. Look out the saints are comin' through And it's all over now, Baby Blue. The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence. The empty-handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets. This sky, too, is folding under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue. All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home. All your reindeer armies, are all going home. The lover who just walked out your door Has taken all his blankets from the floor. The carpet, too, is moving under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue. Leave your stepping stones behind you, something calls for you. Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you. The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore. Strike another match, go start anew And it's all over now, Baby Blue Oh, it's all over now, Baby Blue. |

Come all of you cowboys all over this land
I'll sing you the law of the Ranger's command. To hold a six-shooter and never to run As long as there's bullets in both of your guns. I met a fair maiden whose name I don't know I asked her to the round-up with me would she go. She said she'd go with me to the cold round-up And drink that hard liquor from a cold bitter cup. We started for the round-up in the fall of the year Expecting to get there with a herd of fat steer. When the rustlers broke on us in the dead hour of night She rose from her warm bed a battle to fight. She rose from her warm bed with a gun in each hand Saying, "Come all you cowboys, and fight for your land." Come all of you cowboys, and don't ever run As long as there's bullets in both of your guns. |

Yellow is the color of my true love's hair
In the morning, when we rise, In the morning, when we rise That's the time That's the time I love the best Green is the color of the sparkling corn In the morning, when we rise, In the morning, when we rise That's the time That's the time I love the best Blue is the color of the sky In the morning, when we rise, In the morning, when we rise That's the time That's the time I love the best Mellow is the feeling that I get When I see her, uhh-hmm, When I see her, oh yeah That's the time That's the time I love the best Freedom is a word I rarely use Without thinking, oh yeah, Without thinking, hm-m Of the time Of the time When I've been loved Yellow is the color of my true love's hair In the morning, when we rise, In the morning, when we rise That's the time That's the time I love the best |

Oh, Mary was a maiden
When the birds began to sing. She was sweeter than the blooming rose So early in the spring. Her thoughts were gay and happy And the morning gay and fine, For her lover was a river boy From the river in the pines. Now Charlie, he got married To his Mary in the spring When the trees were budding early And the birds began to sing. But early in the autumn When the fruit is in the wine, I'll return to you, my darling From the river in the pines. It was early in the morning In Wisconsin's dreary clime When he rode the fatal rapids For that last and fatal time. They found his body lying On the rocky shore below Where the silent water ripples And the whispering cedars blow. Now every raft of lumber That comes down the Chippewa, There's a lonely grave that's Visited by drivers on their way They plant wild flowers upon it In the morning fair and fine. 'Tis the grave of two young lovers From the river in the pines |

Que sont mes amis devenus
Que j'avais de si pres tenus Et tant aimes Ils ont ete trop clairsemes Je crois le vent les a otes L'amour est morte Ce sont amis que vent emporte Et il ventait devant ma porte Les emporta Avec le temps qu'arbres defeuille Quand il ne reste en branche feuille Qui n'aille a terre Avec pauvrete qui m'atterre Qui de partout me fait la guerre L'amour est morte Ne convient pas que vous raconte Comment je me suis mis a honte En quelle maniere Que sont mes amis devenus Que j'avais de si pres tenus Et tant aimes Ils ont ete trop clairsemes Je crois le vent les a otes L'amour est morte Ce sont amis que vent emporte Et il ventait devant ma porte Les emporta Pauvre sens et pauvre memoire M'a Dieu donne le roi de gloire Et pauvre rente Et droit au cul quand bise vente Le vent me vient le vent m'evente L'amour est morte Le mal ne sait pas seul venir Tout ce qui m'etait a venir M'est avenu M'est avenu |

Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin' I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin' I saw a white ladder all covered with water I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall And what did you hear, my blue eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin' Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin' Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin' Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin' Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall Oh, who did you meet, my blue eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony I met a white man who walked a black dog I met a young woman whose body was burning I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow I met one man who was wounded in love I met another man who was wounded with hatred And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a gonna fall Oh, what'll you do now, my blue eyed son? Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a fallin' I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest Where the people are many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison Where the executioner's face is always well hidden Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten Where black is the color, where none is the number And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin' But I'll know my song well before I start singin' And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a gonna fall |
