from Joan Baez - The First 10 Years (1970)
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 |

A HEARTFELT LINE OR TWO
(Words and Music by Joan Baez) Though the songwriters of the industry Write most of the songs I do And it's clear that no one will ever Sing them quite the way I do I think tonight I'll sit down and write A heartfelt line or two And if they turn out good enough I owe every word to you To the kid I thought was a little too young To know what sadness was Who took me out when I was down And set out to find the cause Of why the lady had the blues And seemed on the verge of tears I tell you that kid must have been around For a hundred and fifty years And to the tough guy blonde with the front tooth gone And ships all over his chest Who approached me out on the promenade Of the beach heading into the west His friends lay around on the muscleman lawn Like a drunken pirate band But he turned into a gentleman Called me a lady and kissed my hand Though the songwriters of the industry Write most of the songs I do And it's clear that no one will ever Sing them quite the way I do I think tonight I'll sit down and write A heartfelt line or two And if they turn out good enough I owe every word to you To the man and the woman who threw me a glance As they picnicked by the sea And returned their gaze to the kid and the food So as not to bother me They got up to leave and the woman looked on As the man leaned down to say "You've always meant so much to us Don't want to bother you and have a nice day" And to the band of gypsies I call friends Who speak so carefully To their friend with a life unlike their own In its strange complexities Who have the patience of the saints When I've been down for a spell I wish it were a whole lot easier To find the words to wish them well Though the songwriters of the industry Write most of the songs I do And it's clear that no one will ever Sing them quite the way I do I think tonight I'll sit down and write A heartfelt line or two And if they turn out good enough I owe every word to you |

Yo se que no vendras
Por eso dia Tanto la oblido Dejar un nuevo amor Tanto mejor Ay como el mio Dejar y la vive En este mundo de tristessa Dejar y la vive A mi manera Yo quiero se Y nada mas Prefierare Y recordar Un nuevo amor Tanto mejor Qui siera olvidar Tanto la dejar Qui siera vivir Ay nada mas O si my way |

(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
In my heart I will wait by the stony gate and the little one in my arms will sleep. Every rising of the moon makes the years grow late and the love in our hearts will keep. There are friends I will make and bonds I will break as the seasons roll by and we build our own sky. In my heart I will wait by the stony gate and the little one in my arms will sleep. And the stars in your sky are the stars in mine and both prisoners of this life are we. Through the same troubled waters we carry our time, you and the convicts and me. There's a good thing to know on the outside or in, to answer not where but just who I am. Because the stars in your sky are the stars in mine and both prisoners of this life are we. And the hills that you know will remain for you and the little willow green will stand firm. The flowers that we planted through the seasons past will all bloom on the day you return. To a baby at play all a mother can say, he'll return on the wind to our hearts, and till then I will sit and I'll wait by the stony gate and the little one 'neath the trees will dance. ⓒ 1969, 1970 Chandos Music (ASCAP) |

I see the town
Where we were born, I see the place We were raised, I see all the things you wanted That I never gave. I see sadness, I see sorrow, I see pain in your face, But I just can't see A stranger in my place. I can see now where we quarrelled, I can see now I was wrong, I can see where you might weaken When I wasn't strong. I see mem'ries of a love gone bad That time cannot erase, But I just can't see a stranger in my place. No one seems to know you quite like I do, No one knows the thigs that make you cry. Looking back it seems I never showed you, And now I lay alone and wonder why. I can see now Where you might grow tired of dreams That don't come true, I can see where I have fallen short Of the things I promised you. I can see mow throug my tear filled eyes no love on your face, I must get used to seein' strangers in my place. |

(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
A young gypsy fell out in a slumber Heading north with a driver he knew Someone he'd lived with and trusted A young woman who trusted him too That very same day the young gypsy Had come from a farm in the west Where the children had played throughout the heat of the day Affording the gypsy no rest And the gypsy's bones were weary And the front seat looked secure And the gypsy slept on until the sun it was gone And the stars pierced the eyes of the girl at his side The next morning's day would be Easter He'd dress in his only fine shirt And shuffle through clusters of strangers With his gaze and his shoes in the dirt And the woman who loved him would watch him Protect him from curious stares For the womenfolk tend to be friendly And the gypsy's as young as he's fair And the evening brought on laughter And jars of bright red wine And the gypsy drank some and the gypsy had fun And his dancing got wild and the grandmothers smiled Sleeping came easily after In the arms of the woman that fold Up the secrets and dreams of the gypsy That will never be sought or be sold In fact, they will never be told For the gypsy is two years old ⓒ 1973 Chandos Music (ASCAP) |

on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn. four lean hounds crouched low and smiling the merry deer ran before. Fleeter be they than dappled dreams the swift sweet deer the red rare deer. Four red roebuck at a white water the cruel bugle sang before. Horn at hip went my love riding riding the echo down into the silver dawn. four lean hounds crouched low and smiling the level meadows ran before. Softer be they than slippered sleep the lean lithe deer the fleet flown deer. Four fleet does at a gold valley the famished arrow sang before. Bow at belt went my love riding riding the mountain down into the silver dawn. four lean hounds crouched low and smiling the sheer peaks ran before. Paler be they than daunting death the sleek slim deer the tall tense deer. Four tell stags at a green mountain the lucky hunter sang before. All in green went my love riding on a great horse of gold into the silver dawn. four lean hounds crouched low and smiling my heart fell dead before. |

Hush little baby, don't you cry,

How precious did that Grace appear, the hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares we have already come. ‘t Was Grace that brought us safe thus far, Grace will lead us home. When we've been there ten thousands years, bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun. |

Just the pattern of sunlight on a building Just a flash in a window I was passing Just a frame in a movie I remembered Amsterdam Just the sound of a wheel in the gravel Just the click of a heel on the pavement Just a moment like any other moment Amsterdam I remember your lips, I remember your eyes And the taste of the kiss and your graceful goodbye You lied Goodbye Just the scent of perfume on the linen Just the print of a palm on the pillow Just the hint of the moon through the window Amsterdam Just a ghost in the steam on the mirror Just a shadow of motion in the water Just a need to look over my shoulder Amsterdam I remember your lips, I remember your eyes And the taste of the kiss and your graceful goodbye You lied Goodbye Just two lovers asleep in the silence as I watched from the door Just the weight of a heart as it's falling, nothing more I remember your lips, I remember your eyes And the taste of the kiss and your graceful goodbye You lied Goodbye |

And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Now when I was a young man I carried me pack And I lived the free life of the rover. Then in 1915, my country said, 'Son, It's time you stop ramblin', there's work to be done.' So they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun, And they marched me away to the war. And the band played 'Waltzing Matilda,' As the ship pulled away from the quay, And amidst all the cheers, the flag waving, and tears, We sailed off for Gallipoli. And how well I remember that terrible day, How our blood stained the sand and the water; And of how in that hell that they call Suvla Bay We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter. Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head, And when I woke up in my hospital bed And saw what it had done, well, I wished I was dead Never knew there was worse things than dying. For I'll go no more 'Waltzing Matilda,' All around the green bush far and free To hump tents and pegs, a man needs both legs, No more 'Waltzing Matilda' for me. So they gathered the crippled, the wounded, the maimed, And they shipped us back home to Australia. The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane, Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla. And as our ship sailed into Circular Quay, I looked at the place where me legs used to be, And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me, To mourn grieve and the pity. And the band plays 'Waltzing Matilda,' And the young men still answer the call, But as year follows year, more young men disappear Someday, no one will march there at all. Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda Who'll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me And their ghosts may be heard as you pass the Billabong Who'll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me ? |

Yesterday's newspapers forecast no rain for today
But yesterday's news is old news, the skies are all grey Winter's in labour, soon to give birth to the spring That will sprinkle the meadow with flowers for my Angeline Heartache and sorrow and sadness unendingly find Wings on a memory and with them she flies to my mind She stretched her arms for a moment then went back to sleep While the morning stood watching me, ever so silently weak She opened her eyes, Lord, the minute my feet touched the floor The cold hard wood creaked with each step that I made to the door There I turned to her gently and said, Look, Hon, it's spring" Knowing outside the window the winter looked for Angeline Yesterday's newspapers forecast no rain for today But yesterday's news is old news, the skies are all grey...

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and SHE was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my ANNABEL LEE- With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that,long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud,chilling My ANNABEL LEE; So that her high-born kinsmen came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulcher In this kingdom by the sea. AND the angels,not half so happy in heaven, Went envying her and me- Yes!-that was the reason(as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling my ANNABEL LEE; That the wind came out of the cloud by night Killing my ANNABELLEE. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we- Of many far wiser than we- And neither the angels in heaven above Nor the the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE: And the moon never beams,without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE; And the stars never rise,but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE: And so,all the night-tide,I lie down by the side Of my darling my life and my bride, In the sepulcher there by the sea- In her tomb by the sounding sea. |

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and SHE was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my ANNABEL LEE- With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that,long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud,chilling My ANNABEL LEE; So that her high-born kinsmen came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulcher In this kingdom by the sea. AND the angels,not half so happy in heaven, Went envying her and me- Yes!-that was the reason(as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling my ANNABEL LEE; That the wind came out of the cloud by night Killing my ANNABELLEE. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we- Of many far wiser than we- And neither the angels in heaven above Nor the the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE: And the moon never beams,without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE; And the stars never rise,but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE: And so,all the night-tide,I lie down by the side Of my darling my life and my bride, In the sepulcher there by the sea- In her tomb by the sounding sea. |

Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild,
Erhore einer Jungfrau Flehen, Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild Soll mein Gebet zu dir hinwehen. Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen, Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind. O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen, O Mutter, hor ein bittend Kind! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Unbefleckt! Wenn wir auf diesen Fels hinsinken Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz bedeckt Wird weich der harte Fels uns dunken. Du lachelst, Rosendufte wehen In dieser dumpfen Felsenkluft, O Mutter, hore Kindes Flehen, O Jungfrau, eine Jungfrau ruft! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Reine Magd! Der Erde und der Luft Damonen, Von deines Auges Huld verjagt, Sie konnen hier nicht bei uns wohnen, Wir woll'n uns still dem Schicksal beugen, Da uns dein heil'ger Trost anweht; Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen, Dem Kind, das fur den Vater fleht. Ave Maria! |

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus Lay down His sweet head The stars in the Heavens Look down where lay The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay The cattle are lowing The baby awakes But little Lord Jesus No crying he makes I love thee Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my cradle 'Til morning is nigh |

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk Down beside where the waters flow Down by the banks of the old Ohio And only say that you'll be mine In no others arms entwine Down beside where the waters flow Down by the banks of the old Ohio I held a knife against her breast As in my arms she pressed She cried, "Oh, Willie, don't murder me I'm not prepeared for eternity" And only say that you'll be mine In no others arms entwine Down beside where the waters flow Down by the banks of the old Ohio I started home 'tween twelve and one I cried, "My God, what have I done? Killed the only woman I loved Because she would not be my bride" And only say that you'll be mine In no others arms entwine Down beside where the waters flow Down by the banks of the old Ohio |

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. |

Be Not Too Hard
Be not too hard for life is short And nothing is given to man. Be not too hard when he is sold or bought, For he must manage as best he can. Be not too hard when he blindly dies Fighting for things he does not own. Be not too hard when he tells lies Or if his heart is sometimes like a stone. Be not too hard for soon he'll die, Often no wiser than he began. Be not too hard for life is short And nothing is given to man. And nothing is given to man. |

from Joan Baez - Honest Lullaby (1979)
Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools Who were making plans and thinking of the future With the energy of the innocent They were gathering the tools They would need to make their journey back to nature While the sand slipped through the opening And their hands reached for the golden ring With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge In the troubled years that came before the deluge Some of them knew pleasure And some of them knew pain And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered And on the brave and crazy wings of youth They went flying around in the rain And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered And in the end they traded their tired wings For the resignation that living brings And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow For the glitter and the rouge And in the moment they were swept before the deluge Now let the music keep our spirits high And let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by By and by... When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky Some of them were angry At the way the earth was abused By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power And they struggled to protect her from them Only to be confused By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour And when the sand was gone and the time arrived In the naked dawn only a few survived And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge Now let the music keep our spirits high And let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by By and by... When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky |

We may not always be the best of lovers
But if you leave it to me I think I can see We'll always be the best of friends And one day when I am old and on the porch With knittings around my knees you hear me say Excuse me please,but aren't you the one And wasn't it fun way back when Or maybe in a year you'll reappear And if that should come true I'd throw my arms around you and watch you smile Just for awhile once again We may not be the best of lovers But if you leave it to me I think I can see We'll always be the best of friends La la la The best of friends La la la |

Lyrics as reprinted in Guy and Candie Carawan, Sing for Freedom: The Story of
the Civil Rights Movement through its songs, Bethlehem, PA, 1990, pp. 122-123. Come round by my side and I'll sing you a song. I'll sing it so softly, it'll do no one wrong. On Birmingham Sunday the blood ran like wine, And the choirs kept singing of Freedom. That cold autumn morning no eyes saw the sun, And Addie Mae Collins, her number was one. At an old Baptist church there was no need to run. And the choirs kept singing of Freedom, The clouds they were grey and the autumn winds blew, And Denise McNair brought the number to two. The falcon of death was a creature they knew, And the choirs kept singing of Freedom, The church it was crowded, but no one could see That Cynthia Wesley's dark number was three. Her prayers and her feelings would shame you and me. And the choirs kept singing of Freedom. Young Carol Robertson entered the door And the number her killers had given was four. She asked for a blessing but asked for no more, And the choirs kept singing of Freedom. On Birmingham Sunday a noise shook the ground. And people all over the earth turned around. For no one recalled a more cowardly sound. And the choirs kept singing of Freedom. The men in the forest they once asked of me, How many black berries grew in the Blue Sea. And I asked them right with a tear in my eye. How many dark ships in the forest? The Sunday has come and the Sunday has gone. And I can't do much more than to sing you a song. I'll sing it so softly, it'll do no one wrong. And the choirs keep singing of Freedom. |

Black, black, black
is the color of my true love's hair Her lips are like a rose so fair And the prettiest face and the neatest hands. I love the grass whereon she stands She with the wondrous hair. Black, black, black is the color of my true love's hair Her face is something truly rare. Oh I do love my love and so well she knows I love the ground whereon she goes. She with the wondrous hair. Black, black, black is the color of my true love's hair Alone, my life would be so bare. I would sigh, I would weep, I would never fall asleep My love is 'way beyond compare She with the wondrous hair. Black, black, black is the color of my true love's hair. |

Blessed are the one way ticket holders on a one way street. Blessed are the midnight riders for in the shadow of God they sleep. Blessed are the huddled hikers staring out at falling rain, wondering at the retribution in their personal acquaintance with pain. Blessed are the blood relations of the young ones who have died, who had not the time or patience to carry on this earthly ride. Rain will come and winds will blow, wild deer die in the mountain snow. Birds will beat at heaven's wall, what comes to one must come to us all. For you and I are one way ticket holders on a one way street. which lies across a golden valley where the waters of joy and hope run deep. So if you pass the parents weeping of the young ones who have died, take them to your warmth and keeping for blessed are the tears they cried and many were the years they tried. Take them to that valley wide and let their souls be pacified. ⓒ 1970, 1971 Chandos Music (ASCAP) |

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man? How many seas must the white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? How many times must the cannonballs fly Before they're forever banned?

How many years must some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? And how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see?

How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand 흰 비둘기는 얼마나 많은 바다를 건너야 모래 밭에서 편안히 잠을 잘 수 있을까 Yes 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned 얼마나 많은 포탄이 날아가야 지상에서 사라질 수 있을까(영원히 포탄사용이 금지될수있을까?) The answer my friend is blowin in the wind The answer is blowin in the wind 친구여 그대답은바람결에흩날리고있다네...대답은우리주변에있는데 우리가알아차리지못할뿐...) 바람만이 알고 있지. Yes 'n' how many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea 산은 얼마나 오랜 세월을 서있어야 바다로 씻겨갈수있을까? (높은 산이 씻겨나가 바다로 흘러갈 수 있을까) Yes 'n' how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed tl be free 얼마나 많은 세월이 흘러야 사람들이 자유로와 질수있을까? Yes 'n' how many times can a man turn his head Pretending that he just doesn't see 도대체 얼마나 여러 번 고개를 돌려야 보이지않는척 외면할수있을까? The answer my friend is blowin in the wind The answer is blowin in the wind 친구여 그 대답은 바람결에 흩날리고있다네 그답은불어오는 바람속에 있다네.. Yes 'n' how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky 사람은 얼마나 여러번 올려다 봐야 하늘을 볼수있을까? Yes 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry 도대체 얼마나 많은 귀가있어야 사람들이 울부짖는 소리를 들을수 있을까 Yes 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died 얼마나 많은 사람이 죽어야 너무나 많은 이가 희생되었다는사실을 알 수있을까? The answer my friend is blowin in the wind The answer is blowin in the wind 친구여 그대답은 바람결에 흩날리고있다네 그답은불어오는 바람속에있다네... |

Walk along the river
Sweet lullaby It just keeps on flowing It don't worry 'bout where it's going No, no Don't fly, mister blue bird I'm just walking down the road Early morning sunshine Tell me all I need to know You're my blue sky You're my sunny day Lord, you know it makes me high When you turn your love my way Turn your love my way Good old Sunday morning Bells are ringing everywhere Going to Carolina It won't be long and I'll be there You're my blue sky You're my sunny day Lord, you know it makes me high When you turn your love my way Turn your love my way |

Well I'm sailin away my own true love.
I'm sailin' away in the mornin' Is there something I can send you from across the sea, From the place where I'll be landin'? No, there's nothing you can bring me my own true love. There's nothing I wish to be ownin'. Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled from across that lonesome ocean. Well I just though you might want something fine made of silver or of golden either from the mountains of Madrid or the coast of Barcelona. If I had the stars from the darkest night and the diamonds from the deepest ocean, I'd foresake them all for your sweet kiss, for that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin' That I might be gone a long old time, and it's only that I'm askin'. Is there something I can give you to remember me by, To make your time more easy passin'? Oh how can, how can you ask me again? It only brings me sorrow. For the same thing that I want from you today I would want again tomorrow. Well I got a letter on a lonesome day. It was from her ship a'sailin'. Sayin' "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again. It depends on how I'm feelin'." Well if you my love must think that a'way I'm sure your mind is a'roamin'. I'm sure your heart is not with me but with the country where you're goin'. So take heed, take heed of the Western wind. Take heed of the stormy weather. And yes, there's something you can send back to me; SPANISH BOOTS OF SPANISH LEATHER. |

I don't wanna hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly I know there's life below me But all that you can show me Is the prarie and the sky I don't wanna hear your sad story About heartache and desire The last time I felt like this I was in the wilderness And the canyon was on fire And I stood on the mountain, in the night And I watched it burn, I watched it burn I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham I would hold my life in his saving grace I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham If I thought I could see, I could see your face Well you really got me this time And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive I have come to listen for the sound Of the trucks as they move down Out on highway ninety five And pretend that it's the ocean coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean Baby do you know what I mean I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham I would hold my life in his saving grace I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham If I thought I could see, I could see your face |

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arm Through these fields of destruction Baptism of fire I've watched all your suffering As the battles raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line on your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms |

The winter season of the year
When to this world Our Lord was born The ox and donkey, so they say, Did keep His Holy Presence warm. How many oxen and donkeys now If they were there when first He came How many oxen and donkeys you know At such a time would do the same? And on that night it has been told These humble beasts so rough and rude Throughout the night of Holy Birth Drank no water, ate no food. How many oxen and donkeys now Dressed in ermine, silk and such, How many oxen and donkeys you know At such a time would do as much? As soon as to these humble beasts Appeared Our Lord, so mild and sweet With joy they knelt before His Grace And gently kissed His tiny feet Would we like oxen and donkeys then In spite of all the things be heard Would we like oxen and donkeys then We'd hear the truth, believe His word? |

Caleb Meyer, he lived alone
In them hollarin' pines Then he made a little whiskey for himself Said it helped pass the time Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come around And he called my name 'til I went out With no one else around Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna Wear them rattlin' chains. But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name Where's your husband, Nellie Kane Where's your darlin gone? Did he go down off the mountain side And leave you all alone? Yes, my husband's gone to Bowlin' Green To do some business there. Then Caleb threw that bottle down And grabbed me by my hair. Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna Wear them rattlin' chains. But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name He threw me in the needle bed, Across my dress he lay Then he pinned my hands above my head And I commenced to pray. I cried My God, I am your child Send your angels down Then feelin' with my fingertips, The bottle neck I found I drew that glass across his neck As fine as any blade, And I felt his blood pour fast and hot Around me where I laid. Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna Wear them rattlin' chains. But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna Wear them rattlin' chains. But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name |

We've watched them leaving, seen their ragged flight
Children of the jungle, mothers of the night A boy of ten by the roadside lies Hears his future in whispers and cries And clutching a tiny Buddha charm A baby dies in his mother's arms Is there only sorrow in Cambodia? Is there no tomorrow in Cambodia? Leaving the graves of your ancestors after a thousand years Leaving a few belongings after a thousand tears How come you never left before through bombing, famine and flood? Are the rivers useless now spilling over with blood? Is there only sorrow in Cambodia? Is there no tomorrow in Cambodia? I hear there are very few children from ages one to five It takes more than jungle leaves to keep the young ones alive I hear some of the rice got through the outside's trying to send to you There you sit in the ruins of war, the doctors are waiting at your door And we will try and feed you, try and go to you People of Kampuchea, Cambodia A little way in from the border in the crowded camps I've seen mothers giving birth, seen beautiful orphans dance An old man turns and covers his eyes, he was never supposed to cry With sons and daughters and home and wife Taken from him in his autumn life Should we try and feed you, say hello to you Old man of Kampuchea, Kampuchea, Cambodia Call another conference, write another song Deliver another ton of rice and hope it gets where it belongs And rival teams of bandits are really the only choice Even if the people had their bellies filled, even if the people had a voice And meanwhile, lovers are caught in the crossfire Children are caught in the barbed wire Military sinks in the mire Let me show it to you Is there only sorrow, only sorrow in Cambodia? Is there no tomorrow, no tomorrow in Cambodia? Still we'll try and feed you, try and show to you People of Kampuchea, Kampuchea, Cambodia |

Love, oh, love, oh careless love
Love, oh, love, oh careless love Love, oh, love, oh careless love You see what love has done to me I'd love my mama and papa too I'd love my mama and papa too I'd love my mama and papa too I'd leave them both to go with you What, oh what, will mama say What, oh what, will mama say What, oh what, will mama say When she learns I've gone astray Once I wore my apron low Once I wore my apron low Once I wore my apron low I couldn't scarcely keep you from my door Now my apron strings don't pin Now my apron strings don't pin Now my apron strings don't pin You pass my door and you don't come i |

I wish I were home now, in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand I would swim over the deepest ocean The deepest ocean, to be by your side But the sea is wide, I cannot swim over And either have I wings to fly I wish I could find me a handy boatman To ferry me over to my love and die These childhood places bring sad reflections Of happy times, spent so long ago My girlhood friends and my own relations Have all passed on, like the melting snow And I'll spend my days in endless roaming Soft is the grass, and my bed is free Ah, to be home now in Carrickfergus On that long road down to the salty sea And in Kilkenny, it is reported On marble stone as black as ink With gold and silver he did support me But I'll sing no more now 'til I've had a drink And I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober As I roam on, from town to town Ah, but I'm sick now, and my days are numbered Come all ye young lads, and lay me down Come all ye young lads, and lay me down |

There's a man by my side walking
There's a voice within me talking, There's a voice, within me saying, Carry on, carry it on. They will tell their empty stories, Send their dogs to bite our bodies, They will lock us up in prison, Carry on, carry it on. When you can't go on any longer, Take the hand, hand of your brother, Every victory brings another, Carry it on, carry it on. Carry on, carry it on. Repeat 1st Verse Carry it on, carry it on. |
