https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jpqMMUS-j8

 

Let me call you sweetheart

I'm in love with you

Let me hear you whisper

That you love me too

 

Keep the love light glowing

In your eyes so true

Let me call you sweetheart

I'm in love with you

 

Keep the love light glowing

In your eyes so true

Let me call you sweetheart

I'm in love with you

 

 

2) Moonlight Bay

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A84NCahLksQ

 

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay

We could hear the voices ringing

They seemed to say

"You have stolen her heart"

"Now don't go 'way"

As we sang love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay.

 

 

3) Sidewalks of NY

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEpvOHntSus

 

East side, West side

All around the town

The tots sang 'Ring-a-Rosie

London Bridge is falling down!'

Boys and girls together

Me and Mamie O'Rourke

Tripped the light fantastic

On the sidewalks of New York

 

 

4) In The Good Old Summertime

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWSiMhEkFVk

 

In the good old summertime, in the good old summertime;

Strolling through the shady lane with your baby mine.

You hold her hand and she holds yours and that's a very good sign;

That she's your tootsie wootsie in the good old summertime.

 

5) On A Bicycle Built For Two

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eTOqfXy5UI

 

Daisy, Daisy

Give me your answer do!

I'm half crazy

All for the love of you.

It won't be a stylish marriage

I can't afford a carriage.

But you'll look sweet

Upon the seat

Of a bicycle built for two.

 

 

6) By The Light Of The Silvery Moon

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td7lCCO9aaQ

 

By the light of the silvery moon

I want to spoon

To my honey, I'll croon love's tune.

Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June

Your silvery beams will bring love's dreams

We'll be cuddlin' soon

By the silvery moon.

 

 

7) Mary’s A Grand Old Name

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKEePX3EblI

 

For it is Mary, Mary

Plain as any name can be.

But with propriety, society will say Marie.

But it was Mary, Mary

Long before the fashions came

And there is something there that sounds so square

It's a grand old name!

 

 

 

8) If You Knew Susie (Like I Know Susie)

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMVv_oawqCM

 

If You Knew Susie, like I know Susie

Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl!

 

There's none so classy as this fair lassie

Oh! Oh! Oh, my goodness, what a chassis!

I had a moustache as cute as a pup.

Susie kissed me and she burned the darn thing up.

 

If You Knew Susie, like I know Susie

Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl!

 

 

9) Down By The Old Mill Stream

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e7jnBEvEkc

 

Down by the Old Mill Stream,

Where I first met you,

With your eyes of blue,

Dressed in gingham too,

It was there I knew,

That you loved me true.

You were sixteen, my village queen,

Down by the old mill stream!

 

 

10) Heart of My Heart

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emxPY02CGFs

 

Heart of My Heart, I love that melody

Heart of My Heart brings back a memory

When we were kids on the corner of the street

We were rough 'n ready guys

But oh, how we could harmonize.

Heart of My Heart meant friends were dearer then

Too bad we had to part

I know a tear would glisten

If once more I could listen

To that gang that sang Heart of My Heart.

 

 

11) Shine On Harvest Moon

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANVupiq2v0Q

 

Oh, shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky

I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July

Snowtime ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon

So shine on, shine on harvest moon - for me and my gal!

 

 

12) For Me And My Gal

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjttR-mlT8s

 

The bells are ringing for me and my gal

The birds are singing for me and my gal

Everybody’s been knowin' to a wedding there goin'

And for weeks they've been sewing every Susie and Sal

 

They're congregatin' for me and my gal

While the parson's waitin' for me and my gal

And sometime I'm gonna build a little home for two three or four or more

In love land for me and my gal.

 

 

13) Bye Bye Blackbird

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjZ3NsEdj0Q

 

Pack up all my cares and woe,

Here I go, singing low,

Bye, bye, blackbird.

Where somebody waits for me,

Sugar’s weet, so is she,

Bye, bye, blackbird.

 

No one here can love and understand me,

Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me.

 

Make my bed and light the light,

I'll arrive late tonight,

Blackbird, bye, bye.

 

14) Five Foot Two, Eyes Of Blue

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UWOiDJNAuA

 

Five foot two, eyes of blue

But oh what those five foot could do

Has anybody seen my gal?

 

Turned up nose and turned down hose

Never had another beau

Has anybody seen my gal?

 

Now if you run into five foot two covered with fur

Diamond rings and all those things

Bet your life it isn't her.

Could she love and could she woo

Could she could she could she coo

Has anybody seen my gal?

 

 

15) And the Band Played On

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XloBEmWuukM

 

Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde,

And the band played on.

He'd glide cross the floor with the girl he adored,

And the band played on.

But his brain was so loaded it nearly exploded,

The poor girl would shake with alarm.

He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curls,

And the band played on.

 

 

16) My Wild Irish Rose

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpU_X6VKqvA

 

My wild Irish Rose,

The sweetest flow'r that grows,

You may search ev'rywhere,

But none can compare

With my wild Irish Rose.

My wild Irish Rose,

The dearest flow'r that grows,

And some day for my sake,

She may let me take

The bloom from my wild Irish Rose.

 

 

17) Yes Sir, That’s My Baby

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrsLTmFG0EU

 

 

Yes sir, that’s my baby, No sir, I don't mean maybe

Yes sir, that's my baby now.

Yes, ma'm, we've decided,

No ma'm, we ain't gonna hide it

Yes, ma'm, you're invited now

By the way, by the way

When we walk up to the preacher I'll say,

“Yes sir, that's my baby, No sir, I don't mean maybe

Yes sir, that's my baby now.”

 

 

18) Chatanooga Choo Choo

 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPp0XtjkWw8

 

Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

Track 29!    Boy you can give me a shine.

Can you afford,  to board,the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

I've got my fare,  And just a trifle to spare.

You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to 4

Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore

Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer

Than to have your ham and eggs in Carolina!

When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar

Then you know that Tennessee is not very far

Shovel all the coal in, Gotta keep it rollin'

Choo Choo Chatanooga, there you are!

There's gonna be a certain party at the station

Satin and Lace  I used to call funny face

She's gonna cry  Until I tell her that I'll never roam

(So Chattanooga Choo Choo)

Won't you choo choo me home?

 

 

19) Put  Your Arms Around Me

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_CoQVf6VYA

 

Put your arms around me, Honey, hold me tight

Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might

Oh! Oh! Won't you roll those eyes?

Eyes that I just idolize

When they look at me, my heart begins to float

Then it starts a rockin' like a motor boat

Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you.

 

 

20) Won’t You Come Home, Bill Bailey?

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAkFKsWuwRk

 

Won't you come home, Bill Bailey

Won't you come home?

She moans the whole day long.

I'll do the cookin', darling

I'll pay the rent,

I know I've done you wrong;

'member that rainy evening

I threw you out,

With nothing but a fine-tooth comb?

I know I'm to blame,

Well, ain't that a shame

Bill Bailey won't you please come home.

 

 

21) You Are My Sunshine

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At4Kccy9Zog

 

You are my sunshine, My only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You'll never know, dear, how much I love you

Please don't take My sunshine away.

 

The other night, dear, As I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

So I hung my head and I cried.

 

 

22) Meet Me In St. Louis

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg-2ncgmHZg

 

Meet me in St. Louis, Louis,

Meet me at the fair,

Don't tell me the lights are shining

Any place but there,

We will dance the Hoochee Koochee,

I will be your tootsie wootsie,

If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis,

Meet me at the fair.

 

23) Hello My Baby

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MdqdMT59L0

 

Hello my baby, hello my honey

Hello my ragtime, gal

Send me a kiss by wire, by wire

Baby, my heart's on fire, on fire

If you refuse me, honey, you lose me

Then you'll be left alone, oh baby

Telephone, and tell me, tell me

Tell me I'm your very own!

 

 

24 ) School Days

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJb2oEdBQaE

 

School days, school days, dear old golden rule days,

Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic,

 Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick,

You were my queen in calico,

I was your bashful barefoot beau,

And you wrote on my slate, I love you so,

When we were a couple of kids.

 

 

 

25  ) Alexander’s Ragtime Band

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEOMK-P3hMI

 

Oh my honey, oh my honey

Better hurry, let's meander

Ain't you goin', ain't you goin'

To the leader man

The ragged meter man

 

Oh my honey, oh my honey

Let me take you to Alexander's grandstand, brass band

Ain't you comin' along?

 

Come on and hear, come on and hear

Alexander's ragtime band

Come on and hear, come on and hear

It's the best band in the land!

They can play a bugle call like you never heard before

So natural that you want to go to war

That's just the bestest band what am, honey lamb!

 

Come on along, come on along

Let me take you by the hand

Up to the man, up to the man

Who's the leader of the band

And if you want to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime

Come on and hear, come on and hear

Alexander's ragtime band!

 

 

 

 

26  ) Over There

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=921z4LAHvak

 

Over there, over there

Send the word, send the word over there.

That the Yanks are coming

The Yanks are coming

The drums rum tumming everywhere

So prepare, say a prayer

Send the word, send the word to beware

We'll be over, we're coming over

And we won't come back till it's over, over there.

 

 

27 ) I’m Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1n5tShQpGM

 

I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover

that I over looked before, one is for sunshine

the second is rain, third are the roses

that grow in the lane.

No need explaining the one remaining

is somebody I adore

I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover

That I over looked before.

 

28)  Show Me The Way To Go Home

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btMclrrDaFg

 

Show me the way to go home

I'm tired and I want to go to bed

I had a little drink about an hour ago

And it's gone right to my head

Everywhere I roam

Over land or sea or foam

You can always hear me singing this song

Said show me the way to go home.

 

 

29) Good Night, Ladies

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMruF_CLrqM

 

Goodnight, ladies!

Goodnight, ladies!

We're going to leave you now.

 

 

30) Good Night, Sweet Lake

 

(The only “link” to this one is in our memories! It’s a family original, composed and performed by the Dolly sisters at Lake Winnipesaukee, NH)

 

Good night, sweet lake,

Tomorrow is another day

Good night, sweet lake, goodnight.

 

 

31) When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V74E31Tb2Oo

 

There's a tear in your eye

And I'm wondering why

For it never should be there at all

With such pow'r in your smile

Sure a stone you'd beguile

So there's never a teardrop should fall.

 

When Irish eyes are smiling

Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring

In the lilt of Irish laughter

You can hear the angels sing

When Irish hearts are happy

All the world seems bright and gay

And when Irish eyes are smiling

Sure, they steal your heart away

 

 

 

32) Galway Bay

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_-y8Bpy3KE

 

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland

Then maybe at the closing of your day

You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh

And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play

 

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream

The women in the meadows making hay

And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin

And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.

 

For the breezes blowing o'er the seas from Ireland

Are perfumed by the heather as they blow

And the women in the uplands diggin' praties

Speak a language that the strangers do not know

 

For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way

They scorned us just for being what we are

But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams

Or light a penny candle from a star

 

And if there is going to be a life hereafter

And somehow I am sure there's going to be

I will ask my God to let me make my heaven

In that dear land across the Irish sea.

 

 

 

33) Harrigan

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpQt4VlqOus

 

H - A - double are - I - G - A - N spells Harrigan

Proud of all the Irish blood that's in me;

Divil a man can say a word agin me.

H - A - double are - I - G - A - N, you see,

Is a name that a shame never has been connected with, Harrigan, That's me!

 

 

34) Goodnight, Irene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn50JSI0W-E

 

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams.

 

35) K-K-K-Katy

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EMhfPAUcBc

 

K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,

You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;

When the m-m-m-moon shines,

Over the cow shed,

I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.

 

36) In Heaven There Is No Beer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEY0R5jQv8M

 

In Heaven there is no beer,

That’s why we drink it here.

And when we’re gone from here,

Our friends will be drinking all the beer.

 

 

37) MacNamara’s Band

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-REbjN8P38

 

Oh, me name is MacNamara, I'm the leader of the band

Although we're few in numbers, we're the finest in the land!

We play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball

And when we play the funerals, we play the best of all.

Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away;

McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play

And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand

A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band.

 

 

38) Molly Malone

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruNdU6bGE5E

 

In Dublin's fair city, Where the girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheeled her wheelbarrow

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"

Alive, alive, oh

Alive, alive, oh

Crying, Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh.

 

She was a fishmonger, And sure 'twas no wonder

For so were her father and mother before

And they both wheeled their barrows

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying, Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh.

Alive, alive, oh

Alive, alive, oh

Crying, Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh

 

She died of a fever, and no one could save her

And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.

Now her ghost wheels the wheelbarrow

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying, Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh.

Alive, alive, oh

Alive, alive, oh

Crying, Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh

 

 

 

39) It’s a long way to Tipperary

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUgMKi5x06c

 

It's a long way to Tipperary

It's a long way to go.

It's a long way to Tipperary

To the sweetest girl I know!

Goodbye, Piccadilly

Farewell, Leicester Square!

It's a long, long way to Tipperary

But my heart's right there.

 

 

40) The Wearin’ of the Green

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8n8JWAezaM

 

Oh, Paddy dear and did you hear the news that's goin' round?
The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground
Saint Patrick's Day no more we'll keep his colours can't be seen
For they're hangin' men and women for the wearin' of the green

I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand
He said: "How's dear old Ireland and how does she stand?
She's the most distressful country that you have ever seen
For they're hangin' men and women for the wearin' of the green"

For the wearin' of the green
For the wearin' of the green
They're hangin' men and women
For the wearin' of the green

 

 

41) The Rising of the Moon

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhFtxGpvn-E

 

 

"O come tell me Sean O'Farrell,
tell me why you hurry so?"
"Hush ma bouchal, hush and listen"
And his cheeks were all aglow
"I bear orders from the Capt'n
Get you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon"

"O come tell me Sean O'Farrell
Where the gath'rin is to be?
At the old spot by the river,
Well known to you and me.
One more word for signal token,
Whistle up the marchin' tune,
With your pike upon your shoulder,
By the rising of the moon.
By the rising of the moon,
By the rising of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder,
By the rising of the moon.

Out from many a mud wall cabin
Eyes were watching through the night,
Many a manly heart was beating,
For the blessed morning light.
Murmurs rang along the valleys,
To the banshee's lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were flashing,
By the rising of the moon.
By the rising of the moon,
By the rising of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing,
By the rising of the moon.

All along that singing river
That black mass of men were seen,
High above their shining weapons,
flew their own beloved green.
"Death to every foe and traitor!
Whistle out the marching tune.
And hurrah my boy for freedom;
At the rising of the moon".

 

 

42) Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em93SdPMc70

 

 

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag,

And smile, smile, smile!

While you've a Lucifer to light your fag,

Smile, Boys, that’s the style.

What's the use of worrying?

It never was worth while.

So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag,

And smile, smile, smile!

 

43) Danny Boy

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfGTq71VXfo

 

O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen and down the mountainside

The summer's gone and all the roses falling

'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow

'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so.

 

But when you come and all the flowers are dying

If I am dead, as dead I well may be

You'll come and find the place where I am lying

And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

But I shall hear though soft you tread above me

And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be

And you will bend and tell me that you love me

And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

 

44) America The Beautiful

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY3AH14R3mw

 

O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!

 

O beautiful for pilgrim feet,

Whose stern, impassioned stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat,

Across the wilderness!

America! America! God mend thine every flaw,

Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!

 

O beautiful for heroes proved

In liberating strife,

Who more than self their country loved

And mercy more than life!

America! America!

May God thy gold refine,

Till all success be nobleness,

And every gain divine!

 

O beautiful for patriot dream

That sees beyond the years

Thine alabaster cities gleam

Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!

God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!

 

 

45) Battle Hymn of the Republic

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VQDjB3_AsY

 

Mine eyes have seen the glory

Of the coming of the Lord;

He is trampling out the vintage

Where the grapes of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fateful lightning

Of His terrible swift sword;

His truth is marching on.

 

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

 

I have seen Him in the watchfires

Of a hundred circling camps

They have builded Him an altar

In the evening dews and damps;

I can read His righteous sentence

By the dim and flaring lamps;

His day is marching on.

 

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

 

In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom
That transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy,
Let us die to make men free;
While God is marching on.

 

He has sounded forth the trumpet

That shall never call retreat;

He is sifting out the hearts of men

Before His judgement seat;

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him;

Be jubilant, my feet;

Our God is marching on.

 

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

 

 

46) America

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x68qktoGDgI

 

My country, 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty

Of thee I sing;

Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride,

From every mountain side Let Freedom ring.

 

My native country, thee, Land of the noble free,

Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills,

Thy woods and templed hills,

My heart with rapture thrills

Like that above.

 

Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees

Sweet Freedom's song;

Let mortal tongues awake;

Let all that breathe partake;

Let rocks their silence break,

The sound prolong.

 

 

47) This Land Is Your Land

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxiMrvDbq3s

 

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters

This land was made for you and me.

 

As I was walking a ribbon of highway

I saw above me an endless skyway

I saw below me a golden valley

This land was made for you and me.

 

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

And all around me a voice was sounding

This land was made for you and me.

 

 

48) Down By The Riverside

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEe4Hlt9liU

 

 

I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside
To study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
Study war no more
Study war no more

 

Goin’ to lay down my sword and shield,

Down by the riverside,

Down by the riverside,

Goin’ to lay down my sword and shield,

Down by the riverside,

to study war no more.

Refrain:

I ain’t goin’ to study war no more, ain’t goin’ to study war no more, ain’t goin’ to study war no more.

I ain’t goin’ to study war no more, ain’t goin’ to study war no more, ain’t goin’ to study war no more.

 

Goin’ to put on my long white robe,

Down by the riverside,

Down by the riverside,

Goin’ to put on my long white robe,

Down by the riverside,

to study war no more. [Refrain]

God Bless America,  Land that I love.

Stand beside her, and Guide her, through the night

With a light from above. 

From the mountains to the prairies to the oceans

White with foam, God Bless America, my home sweet home, God bless America. My home sweet home.

 

 

51) Grand Old Flag

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWRSNT0v8AY

 

You're a grand old flag,

You're a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave.

You're the emblem of

The land I love.

The home of the free and the brave.

Every heart beats true

'Neath the Red, White and Blue,

Where there's never a boast or brag.

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q36fW3nmZC4

 

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, A Yankee Doodle, do or die

A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam, Born on the Fourth

of July.

I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart, She's my Yankee Doodle joy

Yankee Doodle came to London Just to ride the ponies

I am the Yankee Doodle Boy.

Yankee Doodle went to town, A-riding on a pony

He stuck a feather in his hat And called it macaroni

Yankee Doodle, keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy

Mind the music and the step. and with the girls be handy!

 

 

 

 

53) I’ve Been Working on the Railroad

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAI6wjXEV6g

 

I've been working on the railroad,

All the live long day.

I've been working on the railroad,

Just to pass the time away.

Can't you hear the whistle blowing?

Rise up early in the morn.

Can't you hear the captain shouting?

"Dinah, blow your horn!"

 

Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow,

Dinah, won't you blow your horn?  (x2)

Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah, Oh, when the saints (when the saints)

Go marching in (marching in)

Now, when the saints go marching in (marching in)

Yes, I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

Someone’s in the kitchen, I know

Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah,

Strummin’ on the old banjo.

 

Singing...fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o,

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o-o-o-o,

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o,

Strumming on the old banjo!

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o, Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o-o-o-o,

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o. Strumming on the old banjo!

I’ve got an old mule and her name is Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal.

She’s a good old worker and a good old pal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal.

We’ve hauled some barges in our day, Filled with lumber, coal and hay,

And ev’ry inch of the way I know, From Albany to Buffalo.

 

Low bridge, ev’rybody down, Low bridge, We must be getting near a town.

You can always tell your neighbor, You can always tell your pal,

If he’s ever navigated on the Erie Canal.

Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam

Where the dear and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard, a discouragin' word

And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range

Where the dear and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard, a discouragin' word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

I want to be in that number,

When the Saints go marching in.

She’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes…

She’ll be driving six white horses when she comes…

Oh we’ll kill the old red rooster when she comes...

And we’ll all have chicken & dumplings when she comes

She will get to sleep with Grandma when she comes…

 

 

 

 

60) Puff the Magic Dragon

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7lmAc3LKWM

 

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

 

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

And brought him strings, and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff.  …

 

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea, And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee … Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee. 

 

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail

Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came; Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.

 

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee…Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee.

 

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys

Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys

One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar; 

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain, Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane

Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave

So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave

 

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee; Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee.

 

 

 

61) Teach Your Children Well

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQOaUnSmJr8

 

… You, who are on the road

Must have a code that you can live by

And so, become yourself

Because the past is just a goodbye

… Teach your children well

Their father's hell did slowly go by

And feed them on your dreams

The one they pick's the one you'll know by

… Don't you ever ask them, "Why?"

If they told you, you would cry

So just look at them and sigh

And know they love you

… And you (of tender years

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

… And teach your parents well

Their children's hell will slowly go by

And feed them on your dreams

The one they pick's 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.

64) Charlie on the MTA

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsqBtZNBL60

 

Well, let me tell you of the story of a man named Charlie On a tragic and fateful day

He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family

Went to ride on the MTA.

 

REFRAIN:

Well, did he ever return?

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston

He's the man who never returned

 

Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square station

And he changed for Jamaica Plain

When he got there the conductor told him, "one more nickel" Charlie couldn't get off of that train!

 

(REFRAIN)

Now, all night long Charlie rides through the station

Crying, "what will become of me?

How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea

Or my cousin in Roxbury?"

(REFRAIN)

 

Charlie's wife goes down to the Scollay Square station

Every day at quarter past two

And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich

As the train comes rumbling through!

 

(REFRAIN)

Now, you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal  How the people have to pay and pay?

Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brian

Get poor Charlie off the MTA!

(REFRAIN)

 

 

 

65) Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine

When the moon is in the Seventh House

And Jupiter aligns with Mars, Then peace will guide the planets, And love will steer the stars

 

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius

Age of Aquarius, Aquarius, Aquarius

 

Harmony and understanding

Sympathy and trust abounding

No more falsehoods or derisions

Golden living dreams of visions

Mystic crystal revelation

And the mind's true liberation

Aquarius, Aquarius

Let the sunshine, Let the sunshine in, The sunshine in

Let the sunshine, Let the sunshine in, The sunshine in.

 

 

 

66) Country Roads

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqcMbkFR6jk

 

Almost heaven, West Virginia

Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

 

REFRAIN:  Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads.

 

All my memories, gather 'round her

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

(REFRAIN)

 

I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me

The radio reminds me of my home far away

Drivin' down the road I get a feelin'

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

(REFRAIN)

 

 

 

67) 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy)

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xhJcQEfD5s

 

Slow down, you move too fast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0fy1HeJv80

You got to make the morning last

Just kicking down the cobblestones

Looking for fun and feeling groovy.

Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy.

 

Hello lamppost, what'cha knowing

I've come to watch your flowers growin'

Ain't you got no rhymes for me?

Doo-ait-n-doo-doo, feeling groovy.

 

Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy

I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep

I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep

Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me.

Life, I love you, all is groovy.

 

 

68) I’m A Believer

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiQUnxNEDqk

 

I thought love was only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else but not for me

Love was out to get me, That's the way it seemed.

Disappointment haunted all of my dreams.

 

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I'm in love; I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried.

 

I thought love was more or less a giving thing

Seems the more I gave the less I got

What's the use in tryin' All you get is pain?

When I needed sunshine, I got rain

 

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I'm in love; I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried

 

Oh, Oh, love was out to get me

Now, that's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all of my dreams

 

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind, I'm in love

I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried.

 

 

69) Yellow Submarine

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2uTFF_3MaA

 

In the town where I was born

Lived a man who sailed to sea

And he told us of his life

In the land of submarines.

 

So we sailed on to the sun

'Til we found a sea of green

And we lived beneath the waves

In our yellow submarine

 

We all live in a yellow submarine

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

 

And our friends are all aboard

Many more of them live next door

And the band begins to play

 

We all live in a yellow submarine

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

 

As we live a life of ease (a life of ease)

Every one of us (every one of us)

Has all we need (has all we need)

 

Sky of blue (sky of blue)

And sea of green (sea of green)

In our yellow (in our yellow)

Submarine (submarine, aha)

 

We all live in a yellow submarine

A yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine

A yellow submarine, yellow submarine

 

We all live in a yellow submarine

A yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine

A yellow submarine, yellow submarine

 

 

 

70) American Pie

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRpiBpDy7MQ

 

Long long time ago, I can still remember

How that music used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance

That I could make those people dance

And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver

With every paper I'd deliver

Bad news on the doorstep

I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried

When I read about his widowed bride

But something touched me deep inside

The day the music died.

 

REFRAIN: So bye-bye, Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee

But the levee was dry

Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"

This will be the day that I die

 

Did you write the Book of Love?

And do you have faith in God above?

If the Bible tells you so

Do you believe in rock 'n' roll?

Can music save your mortal soul?

And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well I know that you're in love with him

'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym

You both kicked off your shoes

Then I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck

With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

But I knew I was out of luck

The day the music died

(REFRAIN)

Now for ten years we've been on our own

And moss grows fat on a rolling stone

But that's not how it used to be

When the jester sang for the King and Queen

In a coat he borrowed from James Dean

And a voice that came from you and me

Oh and while the King was looking down

The jester stole his thorny crown

The courtroom was adjourned

No verdict was returned

And while Lenin read a book of Marx

The Quartet practiced in the park

And we sang dirges in the dark

The day the music died

     (REFRAIN)

Helter skelter in the summer swelter

The birds flew off with a fallout shelter

Eight miles high and falling fast

It landed foul on the grass, the players tried for a forward pass

With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the halftime air was sweet perfume

While the sergeants played a marching tune

We all got up to dance

Oh, but we never got the chance

'Cause the players tried to take the field

The marching band refused to yield

Do you recall what was revealed

The day the music died?

 

(REFRAIN)

 

Oh, and there we were all in one place

A generation lost in space

With no time left to start again

So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

Jack Flash sat on a candlestick

'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

No angel born in Hell

Could break that Satan's spell

And as the flames climbed high into the night

To light the sacrificial rite

I saw Satan laughing with delight

The day the music died.

 

(REFRAIN)

 

I met a girl who sang the blues

And I asked her for some happy news

But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store

Where I'd heard the music years before

But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets, the children screamed

The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

But not a word was spoken

The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire most

The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost

They caught the last train for the coast

The day the music died.

71) Sweet Caroline

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtBPGFYJeyU

 

Where it began, I can't begin to knowing

But then I know it's growing strong

Was in the spring

And spring became the summer

Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touching hands

Reaching out, touching me, touching you.

 

Sweet Caroline (Wah Wah Wah)

Good times never seemed so good (so good, so good, so good!)

I've been inclined

To believe they never would

But now I

 

Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely

We filled it up with only two

And when I hurt

Hurting runs off my shoulders

How can I hurt when holding you

One, touching one

Reaching out, touching me, touching you

 

Sweet Caroline (Wah Wah Wah)

Good times never seemed so good (so good, so good, so good!)

I've been inclined

To believe they never would

Oh No No…

 

 

72) Times, They Are A-Changin’

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxvVk-r9ut8

 

Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savin'

And you better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'.

 

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who

That it's namin' For the loser now

Will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin'.

 

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

The battle outside ragin'

Will soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin'.

 

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin'

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'.

 

The line it is drawn, The curse it is cast

The slow one now Will later be fast

As the present now Will later be past

The order is rapidly fadin' And the first one now

Will later be last

For the times they are a-changin'.

 

 

73) Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VyA2f6hGW4

 

Raindrops are falling on my head

And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed

Nothing seems to fit

Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talking to the sun

And I said I didn't like the way he got things done

Sleeping on the job

Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

But there's one thing I know

The blues they send to meet me

Won't defeat me, it won't be long

Till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red

Crying's not for me

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining

Because I'm free, Nothing's worrying me.

 

 

74) What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green, Red roses too

I see them bloom For me and you

And I think to myself, What a wonderful world.

 

I see skies of blue, And clouds of white

The bright blessed day, The dark sacred night

And I think to myself, What a wonderful world.

 

The colors of the rainbow, So pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces, Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands Saying how do you do

They're really saying, I love youd!

 

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow

They'll learn much more, Than I'll ever know

And I think to myself What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself, What a wonderful world

Ooh, yeah.

Everything is done.  Such a cozy room.

The windows are illuminated

By the evening sunshine through them

Fiery gems for you, only for you

With two cats in the yard

Life used to be so hard

Now everything is easy 'cause of you

And our

Winter, spring, summer or fall All you have to do is call

Ain't it good to know, ain't it good to know

Ain't it good to know

You've got a friend!
