Chorus:
Seventy miles of wind and spray, Seventy miles of water, Seventy miles of open bay-- It's a garbage dump. What's that stinky creek out there, Down behind the slum's back stair Sludgy puddle, sad and gray? Why man, that's San Francisco Bay. (CHORUS) Big Solano and the Montecelle' Ferry boats, I know them well, Creek and groan in their muddy graves Remembering San Francisco Bay (CHORUS) Joe Ortega and the Spanish crew Sailed across the ocean blue Came into the mighty Bay Stood on the decks and cried, "Ole" (CHORUS) Fill it here, fill it here. Docks and tidelands disappear, Shaky houses on the quaky ground The builder, he's Las Vegas bound (CHORUS) Dump the garbage in the Bay City fathers say, "Okay, When cries of anguish fill the air, We'll be off on the Riviere." (CHORUS) |

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
And where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I 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, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? And 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, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, 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', I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, 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 did you meet, my blue-eyed son? And 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 in 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. And, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? And, 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 dark 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, And the executioner's face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number, And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it, And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it, And 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, and it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. |

You know this language that we speak,
is part German, Latin and part Greek Celtic and Arabic all in a heap, well amended by the people in the street Choctaw gave us the word "okay"; "Vamose" is a word from Mexico way. And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next. Chorus: I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up. Soon mama my whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up. I like Polish sausage, I like Spanish rice, and pizza pie is also nice Corn and beans from the Indians here washed down by German beer Marco Polo traveled by camel and pony, he brought to Italy, the first macaroni And you and I as well as we're able, we put it all on the table (Chorus) There were no red-headed Irishmen before the Vikings landed in Ireland How many Romans had dark curly hair before they brought slaves from Africa? No race of man is completely pure, nor is anyone's mind, that's for sure The winds mix the dust of every land, and so will woman and man. (Chorus) This doesn't mean we will all be the same, We'll have different faces and different names Long live many different kinds of races It's difference of opinion that makes horse races Just remember the rule about rules, brother What could be right for one could be wrong for the other And take a tip from La Belle France: "Viva la difference!" (Chorus) |

Twas in the merry month of May
When green buds all were swelling, Sweet William on his death bed lay For love of Barbara Allen. He sent his servant to the town To the place where she was dwelling, Saying you must come, to my master dear If your name be Barbara Allen. So slowly, slowly she got up And slowly she drew nigh him, And the only words to him did say Young man I think you're dying. He turned his face unto the wall And death was in him welling, Good-bye, good-bye, to my friends all Be good to Barbara Allen. When he was dead and laid in grave She heard the death bells knelling And every stroke to her did say Hard hearted Barbara Allen. Oh mother, oh mother go dig my grave Make it both long and narrow, Sweet William died of love for me And I will die of sorrow. And father, oh father, go dig my grave Make it both long and narrow, Sweet William died on yesterday And I will die tomorrow. Barbara Allen was buried in the old churchyard Sweet William was buried beside her, Out of sweet William's heart, there grew a rose Out of Barbara Allen's a briar. They grew and grew in the old churchyard Till they could grow no higher At the end they formed, a true lover's knot And the rose grew round the briar. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MERLE TRAVIS <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

Be kind to your parents
Though they don't deserve it Remember that grown ups Is a difficult stage of life They're apt to be nervous And over excited Confused by their Daily storm and strife Just keep in mind Though it seems hard I know Most parents were children long ago Incredible So treat them with patience And kind understanding Inspite of the foolish things they do Some day you might wake up And find you're a parent too |

Belle Starr, Belle Starr, tell me where you have gone
Since old Oklahoma's sand hills you did roam? Is it heaven's wide streets that you're tying your reins Or single footing somewhere below? Eight lovers they say combed your waving black hair Eight men knew the feel of your dark velvet waist Eight men heard the sounds of your tan leather skirt Eight men heard the bark of the guns that you wore Cole Younger was your first and the father of your girl And the name that you picked for your daughter was Pearl Cole robbed a bank and he drawed the life line But I heard he was pardoned after twenty years time Your Cherokee lover, Blue Duck was his name He loved you in the sand hills before your great fame I heard he stopped a bullet in 1885 And your Blue Duck's no longer alive You took Jim Reed to your warm wedding bed And from out of your love was born the boy, Ed A pal killed Jim Reed by the dark of the moon And your son Ed was blowed down in a drunken saloon Then there was Bob Younger, you loved him so well He rode with the James Boys out on the long trail Well, they caught him in Minnesota along with the gang And he died down in jail in the cell or the chain You loved Mr. William Clarke Quantrill And his Civil War guerrillas in the Missouri hills He hit Lawrence, Kansas and fought them still And when he rode out, two hundred lay killed They say you could have, they whispered you might Have loved Frank James on a couple of nights He fought the Midland Railroad almost to death Then in 1915 Frank drawed his last breath They say it could be, they say maybe so That you loved Jesse James, that desperado Jesse got married, had a wife and a son Was shot down at home by the Ford brothers' guns Belle Starr, Belle Starr, your time's getting late But how is Jim Younger, did you hear his fate? He was jailed and then pardoned for all he had done And he blowed out his own brains in nineteen and one Eight men they say combed that waving black hair Eight men knew the feel of your dark velvet waist Eight men heard the sounds of your tan leather skirt Eight men heard the bark of the guns that you wore Belle Starr, Belle Starr, tell me where you have gone Since old Oklahoma's sand hills you did roam? Is it heaven's wide streets that you're tying your reins Or single footing somewhere below? |

Say the sad bells of Rhymney. Is there hope for the future? Cry the brown bells of Merthyr. Who made the mine owner? Say the black bells of Rhondda. And who robbed the miner? Cry the grim bells of Blaina. They will plunder will-nilly, Cry the bells of Caerphilly. They have fangs, they have teeth, Shout the loud bells of Neath. Even God is uneasy, Say the moist bells of Swansea. And what will you give me? Say the sad bells of Rhymney. Throw the vandals in court, Say the bells of Newport.

King Henry marched forth, a sword in his hand
Two thousand horsemen all at his command In a fortnight the rivers ran red through the land The year, fifteen hundred and twenty The year is now nineteen sixty five It's easier far to stay alive Just keep your mouth shut while the planes zoom and dive Ten thousand miles over the ocean Simon was drafted in sixty-three In sixty-four, sent over the sea Last month this letter he sent to me He said, "You won't like what I'm saying" He said, We've no friends here, no hardly a one We've got a few generals who just want our guns But it will take more than them if we're ever to win Why, we'll have to flatten the country It's my own troops I have to watch out for, he said I sleep with a pistol right under my head He wrote this last month, last week he was dead And Simon came home in a casket I mind my own business, I watch my TV Complain about taxes, but pay anyway In a civilized manner, my forefathers betray Who long ago struggled for freedom But each day a new headline screams at my bluff On TV some general says, "We must be tough" In my dreams I stare at this family I love All gutted and spattered with napalm King Henry marched forth, a sword in his hand Two thousand horsemen all at his command In a fortnight the rivers ran red through the land The year, fifteen hundred and twenty The year is now nineteen sixty five It's easier far to stay alive Just keep your mouth shut while the planes zoom and dive Ten thousand miles over the ocean |

Gets red tape to eat, gasoline taxes to drin, And it grows by day and it grows by night And it rolls over everything in sight. Oh, stand by me and protect that tree From the freeway misery. Who knows how the monster started to grow that way; Its parents are frightened and wish it would go away. But the taxes keep coming, they have to be spent On big bull dozers and tanks of cement, Oh, stand by me and protect that tree From the freeway misery. That octopus grows like a science-fiction blight, The Bay and the Ferry building are out of sight, The trees that stood for a thousand years, We watch them falling through our tears Oh, stand by me and protect that tree From the freeway misery. Dear old MacLaren won't take this lying down, We can hear his spirit move in the sandy ground, He built this Eden on the duney plain, Now they're making it a concrete desert again, Oh, stand by me and protect that tree From the freeway misery. The men on the highways need those jobs, we know Lets put them to work planting new trees to grow. Building new parks where kids can play, Pushing that cement monster away, Oh, stand by me and protect that tree From the freeway misery |

Wake up wake up darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound The revenue officers are coming They're gonna tear your still house down Well the first time I seen darling Corey She was sitting on the banks of the sea Had a forty-four around her body And a banjo on her knee Go away go away darling Corey Quit hanging around my bed Your liquor has ruined my body Pretty women gone to my head Dig a hole dig a hole in the meadow Dig a hole in the cold cold ground Dig a hole dig a hole in the meadow Gonna lay darling Corey down Can't you hear those bluebirds a singing Don't you hear that mournful sound They're preaching darling Corey's funeral In some lonesome graveyard ground Wake up wake up Darlin Corey And go get me my gun I ain't no man for fightin' But I'll die before I run |

It's gonna take everybody to win this war,
The butcher and the baker and the clerk in the store, The guys who sail the ships and the guys who run the trains, And the farmer raising wheat upon the Kansas plains. [Chorus after each verse:] The butcher, the baker, the tinker and the tailor, We'll all work behind the soldier and sailor, We're working in the cities, we're working in the woods, We'll all work together to deliver the goods. I got a new job and I'm working overtime, Turning out tanks on the assembly line, Got to crank up the factories like the president said, Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. I bet this tank will look mighty fine, Punching holes in Mr. Hitler's line, And if Adolf wakes up after the raid, He'll find every piece of shrapnel says "Union made." From New York City to 'Frisco Bay, We're speeding up production every day, And every time a wheel goes 'round, It carries Mr. Hitler to the burying ground. Now me and my boss we never did agree, If a thing helped him, then it didn't help me, But when a burglar tries to bust into your house, You stop fighting with the landlord and throw him out |

Die gedanken sind frei
My thoughts freely flower Die gedanken sind frei My thoughts give me power No scholar can map them No hunter can trap them No man can deny Die gedanken sind frei I think as I please And this gives me pleasure My conscience decrees This right I must treasure My thoughts will not cater To duke or dictator No man can deny Die gedanken sind frei Tyrants can take me And throw me in prison My thoughts will burst forth Like blossoms in season Foundations may crumble And structures may tumble But free men shall cry Die gedanken sind frei |
