Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring, And they march you to the table to see the same old thing. Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan. But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me. Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know? By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore. Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand; She come to see the gov'nor, she wants to free her man. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me. If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right; You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down. The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me. |

Island In the Sun Artist: Harry Belafonte (peak Billboard position # 30 in 1957) Words and Music by Harry Belafonte and Lord Burgess Title song from the 1957 film starring James Mason, Joan Collins, Dorothy Dandridge, Michael Rennie, and Belafonte. This is my island in the sun Where my people have toiled since time begun I may sail on many a sea Her shores will always be home to me CHORUS Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand As morning breaks the heaven on high I lift my heavy load to the sky Sun comes down with a burning glow Mingles my sweat with the earth below CHORUS I see woman on bended knee Cutting cane for her family I see man at the waterside Casting nets at the surging tide CHORUS I pray the day will never come When I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival With calypso songs philosophical CHORUS |

Down the way where the nights are gay and the sun shines daily on the mountain's top. I took a trip on a sailing ship and when I reached Jamaica. I made a stop. And I'm sad to say. I'm on my way won't be back for many a day. my heart is down my head is turning around. I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town. Sounds of laughter every where and the dancing girl swinging two and fro. I must declare my head is there though I been from maine to Mexico. And I'm sad to say. I'm on my way won't be back for many a day. my heart is down my head is turning around. I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town. Down at the market you can hear ladies cry out while on their heads they bear. Akkisai sort fish are nice and the rhum are fine every time a year. And I'm sad to say I'm on my way won't be back for many a day. my heart is down my head is turning around. I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town.

I met her in Venezuela
With a basket on her head And if she loved others she didn’t say But I knew she do, to pass away pass away the time in Venezuela Pass away the time in Venezuela I gave her a sash of blue A beautiful sash of blue Because I knew that she could do with all the tricks, I knew she knew To pass away the time in Venezuela To pass away the time in Venezuela And when the wind was out to sea, the wind was out to sea And she was taking leave of me I said sheer up there’ll always be Sailors on shore on leave in Venezuela Sailors on shore on leave in Venezuela Her linger was changed but the thought of her beautiful smile The thought of her beautiful smile Will haunt me and taunt me for many a mile She was my gal and she did the wale To pass a time in Venezuela To pass way the time in Venezuela |

I peeked in to say goodnight
And I heard my child in prayer "And for me some scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for my hair" All the stores were closed and shuttered All the streets were dark and bare In our town, no scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair Thru the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking I peeked in and on her bed in gay profusion lying there Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair If I live to be a hundred I will never know from where Came those ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair |

And I love you so Though people ask me how How I?ve lived till now I tell them I don?t know I guess they understand How lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes I know How lonely life can be The shadows follow me And the night won?t set me free But I don?t let the evening get me down Now that you?re around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I happy that you do The book of life is brief And once a page is read All but love is dead That is my believe And yes I know how loveless life can be The shadows follow me And the night won?t set me free But I don?t let the evening bring me down Now that you?re around me |

I think of Andy in the cold wet clay
Those three are on my mind With his comrades down beside him On that brutal day Those three are on my mind There lies young James in his final pain Those three are on my mind So I ask the killers, "Can you see those three again? Those three are on my mind" I see dark eyed Michael With his dark eyed bride Those three are on my mind And three proud mothers Weeping side by side Those three are on my mind But I'm grieving yet And for some the sky is bright I cannot give up hoping For a morning light So I ask the killers, "Do you sleep at night? Oh, those three are on my mind" I see tin roof shanties Where my brothers live Those three are on my mind And the little burnt out churches Where they sing we forgive Those three are on my mind I know of Tom paints water tree I know the price of liberty Now I ask the question that is deep inside of me Did they also burn the Courthouse When they killed those three Those three are on my mind Those three are on my mind Those three are on my mind |

On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow I lost my true lover For a courting to slow Yes courting's a pleasure And parting is grief And a false hearted lover Is worse than a thief She'll kiss you, she'll hug you And tell you more lies Than the cross ties on a railroad Or the stars in the sky Let me tell you 'bout my baby She's like bad brandy wine The first time I kissed her She drove me out my mind She's a Baltimore special Got a fine brown frame When you see her in motion Evil woman is her name Did I tell you 'bout the Eastman Lord what a shame He run off with my baby And scandalized my name Well I went up on a mountain top To call my baby back She was gone with that Eastman Down that lonesome railroad track If I ever see that Eastman I'll shoot him with my gun I'll cut him with my long Jones And dare that pimp to run Little Liza, little Liza I couldn't sleep last night Come on back home baby Everything will be all right Let me tell you, let me tell you I don't care what you say If my woman ever comes back I'll give my life away If you ever see a dark cloud A-rollin' in the sky It's my woman gone to heaven With a tear drop in her eye On top of old Smokey All covered with snow I lost my true lover For a-courting to slow |

Long time ago in Bethlehem, So the Holy Bible say, Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, Was born on Christmas day, Hark, now hear the angels sing, A newborn King today, And man will live forevermore, Because of Christmas day. Trumpets sound and angels sing, Listen to what they say, That Man will live forevermore, Because of Christmas day. (verse 1) While shepherds watched their flocks by night, They saw a bright new shining star, They heard a choir sing, The music seemed to come from afar, (verse 2) Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary, Come to bethlehem that night, They found no place to bear her child, Not a single room was in sight. (verse 3) By and by, they find a little nook, In a stable all forlorn, And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's litlle Boy was born! (end song with a full repeat of chorus) |
