Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun.
Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run. Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above. Once they were part of an everlasting love. We were the lovers who strolled through green fields. Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun. Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run. Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart. Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart. Where are the green fields, that we used to roam ? I'll never know what, made you run away. How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day. I only know there's, nothing here for me. Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see. Still I'll keep on waiting, until you return. I'll keep on waiting, until the day you learn. You can't be happy, while your heart's on the roam, You can't be happy until you bring it home. Home to the green fields, and me once again |

Yellow bird, up high in the banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me Did your lady friend leave your nest again That is very sad, makes me feel so bad You can fly away, in the sky away You're more lucky than me I also had a pretty girl She's not with me today They're all the same, the pretty girls Take tenderness, then they fly away Yellow bird, up high in the banana tree Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me Let her fly away, in the sky away Pick a town and soon take from night to noon Like a yellow you like a banana, too They might pick you someday Wish that I were a yellow bird I'd fly away with you But I'm not a yellow bird So here I sit nothing else to do Yellow bird, yellow bird, yellow bird |

I am a rovin' gambler--
I've gambled all around-- And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards, I lay my money down, lay my money down, I lay my money down. I've gambled down in Washington, ga-ambled up in Maine; I'm headed down to Tenessee-ee-ee to knock down my last game, knock down my last game, to knock down my last game. I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three, when I fell in love with a pretty little ga-a-al, and she fell in love with me, fell in love with me, she fell in love with me. She took me to her parlor; she cooled me with her fan; she whispered in her mother's e-e-ear, "I love that gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man, I love that gamblin' man. "I wouldn't marry a railroad man; this is the reason why: I've never seen a railroad ma-a-an wouldn't tell his wife a lie, tell his wife a lie, wouldn't tell his wife a lie. "Oh, Mother, oh dear Mother, I'll tell you if I can: if you ever see me comin' ba-a-ack, it'll be with a gamblin' man, be with a gamblin' man, it'll be with a gamblin' man." I am a rovin' gambler-- I've gambled all around-- and wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards, I lay my money down, lay my money down, I lay my money down. And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards, I lay my money down, lay my money down, lay my money down. |

A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'. The green leaves of summer are callin' me home. 'Twas so good to be young then, in the season of plenty, When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky. A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'. A time to be courtin' a girl of your own. 'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, And to stand by your wife at the moment of birth. Ooh-ooh A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'. A time just for livin', a place for to die. 'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, Now the green leaves of summer are callin' me home. 'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, Now the green leaves of summer are callin' me home. Ooh-ooh |

Yo ho, Here's a tale
That's fair and dear to the hearts of those that sail 'Bout a lighthouse keeper and his bare faced wife Who joined together for a different life Yo ho, The winds and water tell the tale My father was the keeper of the Eddystone light He married a mermaid one fine night From this union there came three A porpoise and a porgy and the other one me! Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, Oh, for the life on the rolling sea! Late one night, I was a-trimming of the glim While singing a verse from the evening hymn A voice on the starboard shouted "Ahoy!" And there was my mother, a-sitting on a buoy. Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, Oh, for the life on the rolling sea! "Tell me what has become of my children three?" My mother she did asked of me. One was exhibited as a talking fish The other was served on a chafing dish. Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, Oh, for the life on the rolling sea! Then the phosphorous flashed in her seaweed hair. I looked again, and me mother wasn't there A voice came echoing out from the night "To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light!" Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, Oh, for the life on the rolling sea! Yo ho, Yo ho Yo ho, Yo ho, Yo ho... |
