Stopped in to a church I passed along the way Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray You know the preacher liked the cold He knows I’m gonna stay California dreamin’ on such a winter’s day All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day If I didn’t tell her I could leave today California dreamin’ on such a winter’s day ---

Hangman, hangman Upon your face a smile Tell me that I’m free to ride Ride for many a mile, mile, mile Oh, yes, you got a fine sister She warmed my blood from cold She brought my blood to boiling hot To keep you from the Gallows Pole Your brother brought me silver Your sister warmed my soul But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole, Pole, Pole ---

Little Matty Groves, he lay down and took a little sleep. When he awoke, Lord Darnell he was standing at his feet. Saying “How do you like my feather bed? And how do you like my sheets? How do you like my lady who lies in your arms asleep?” “Oh, well I like your feather bed, and well I like your sheets. But better I like your lady gay who lies in my arms asleep.” “Well, get up, get up,” Lord Darnell cried, “get up as quick as you can! It’ll never be said in fair England that I slew a naked man.” “Oh, I can’t get up, I won’t get up, I can’t get up for my life. For you have two long beaten swords and I not a pocket-knife.” “Well it’s true I have two beaten swords, and they cost me deep in the purse. But you will have the better of them and I will have the worse.” “And you will strike the very first blow, and strike it like a man. I will strike the very next blow, and I’ll kill you if I can.” So Matty struck the very first blow, and he hurt Lord Darnell sore. Lord Darnell struck the very next blow, and Matty struck no more. And then Lord Darnell he took his wife and he sat her on his knee, Saying, “Who do you like the best of us, Matty Groves or me?” And then up spoke his own dear wife, never heard to speak so free. “I’d rather a kiss from dead Matty’s lips than you and your finery.” Lord Darnell he jumped up and loudly he did bawl, He struck his wife right through the heart and pinned her against the wall. “A grave, a grave!” Lord Darnell cried, “to put these lovers in. But bury my lady at the top for she was of noble kin.” ---

But her pony did stumble and she did fall, Her dyin’ touched the hearts of us one and all, Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain, We buried them together as the snows began to fall. They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through, They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too, At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round And to young Vandy whose love was true. ---

As she was walking o’er the fields She heard the death bell knelling And every stroke it seemed to say Hardhearted Barbara Allen Oh mother mother make my bed Make it long and make it narrow Sweet William died for me today I’ll die for him tomorrow They buried her in the old churchyard They buried him in the choir And from his grave grew a red red rose From her grave a green briar ---

The grave that they dug him had flowers Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors, And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone. He’s gone. ---

Long ago, it seems so long ago How young and innocent we were She may not remember me But I remember her Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade They have their seasons, so do we But please promise me that sometimes You will think of me ---

Think of me Think of me fondly, when We’ve said goodbye Remember me Once in a while, please Promise me you’ll try When you find, That once again you long To take your heart back, And be free If you ever find a moment, Spare a thought for me We never said Our love was evergreen Or as unchanging as the sea… But if you can still remember, Stop and think of me ---

Is there someone you know, you’re loving them so, But taking them all for granted? You may lose them one day, someone takes them away, And they don’t hear the words you long to say: I would give everything I own, Give up my life, my heart, my home, I would give everything I own, Just to see you once again. ---

I wasn’t there that morning When my Father passed away I didn’t get to tell him All the things I had to say I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I’m sure I heard his echo In my baby’s new born tears I just wish I could have told him in the living years.
