Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling,
It’s you, it’s you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow,
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow,
It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
It only grows when it’s on the vine.
A handful of thorns and you’ll know you’ve missed it
You lose your love when you say the word “mine”.
Delta Dawn what’s that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say, he was a’meetin’ you here today?
To take you to his mansion in the sky…
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds…
Purple Haze all in my brain,
lately things don’t seem the same,
actin’ funny but I don’t know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky.
Skyrockets in flight!
Afternoon Delight!
Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I gotta big fat mama trying to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Mama’s got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
Mommy’s alright, Daddy’s alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don’t give yourself away, ay, aaaaaaaay.
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away
I’ve looked at love from both sides now
You’ve got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinning
You’ve got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that’s winning
Come all of you good workers
Good news to you I’ll tell
Of how that good old union
Has come in here to dwell
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
My daddy was a miner
And I’m a miner’s son
And I’ll stick with the union
Till every battle’s won
They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You’ll either be a union man
Or a thug for J.H. Blair
I was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal
And the straw boss said, “Well bless my soul”
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
You’re sixteen,
You’re beautiful,
And you’re mine…
You wait little girl on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life little girl is an empty page
That men will want to write on
…to write on…
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it’s time to think
Better beware be canny and careful
Baby, you’re on the brink
A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ 'cross my mind
And should I hang around, acting like her brother
In a few more years, they’d call us right for each other
And why?
If I wait I’ll just die, yeah
Hey, little girl, you don’t have to hide nothin’ no more
You didn’t do nothin’ that hadn’t been done before
Little girl thought she wouldn’t get caught, you see
She thought she’d get away with goin’ out on me, yeah
Other girls did it, you didn’t think of nothin’ new
You went out on me, so other girls did it too
Hey girl, can you hear me?
Are you holding out your heart?
Hey girl, do you feel me?
Sometimes I go too far.
Hey girl, it ain’t easy,
I know it’s pulling me apart,
But darlin’, don’t you leave me,
Baby, don’t you leave me.
Oh! Darling,
If you leave me,
I’ll never make alone,
Believe me when I beg you,
Don’t ever leave me alone…
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin’
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin’
Although you’re grievin’, don’t think of leavin’
Now that I need you by my side
