We laid down and wept, and wept for thee, Zion

We remember thee, remember thee, remember thee, Zion

​

DARLIN’

Darlin’ won’t you wait, won’t you wait, won’t you wait,

for I must go far away.

Darlin’ won’t you wait, won’t you wait, won’t you wait

’Til I come back home to stay?
Should another love come along, come along

Simply say that you’re not free
Send him on his way, on his way, on his way

Darlin’ won’t you wait for me?

​

O my love - Some of you they say are bound to die

O my love - How it breaks my heart to say goodbye

O my love - When you’re far away I’ll miss you so

Hold me close - Kiss me once again before you go

​

EZEKIEL

Ezekiel saw 2 wheels a rollin’
Way in the middle of the air
A wheel within a wheel a rollin’
Way in the middle of the air
And one wheel ran by faith
And the other ran by the grace of God

A wheel within a wheel a rollin’

Way in the middle of the air

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN DOWN THE WATERSPOUT

Have you ever been down the waterspout
to the very bottom of the water system?
There you’ll find a little alligator who goes by the name of Alfred, if you see him, he’s mine.
I lost him.

I threw him down the water spout and now I’m feeling lonely, ‘cause he’s gone.
I miss him.

 

I AM SLOWLY GOING CRAZY

I SAT DOWN WITH THE DUCHESS

I sat down with the Duchess to tea

It was just as I feared it would be

The rumblings abdominal
were simply phenomenal

And everyone thought it was me

​

JUICY MOOSE

There was a great big moose
Who drank a lot of juice
(Singin’ whoa whoa whoa...)
The moose's name was Fred
And he drank his juice in bed (Singin’...)

He drank his juice with care

But he got some in his hair (Singin’...)

He was a sticky moose
Who drank a lot of juice (Singin’...)

His friends began to laugh

So he went to take a bath (Singin’...)

​

MY DAME HAD A LAME TAME CRANE

Feed it and return again

​

O LORD, WE PRAISE YOU

(Verse) I was thinking the other day

About the joy that came my way
He took away my frown
And those things that had me bound

I thought about all those times

when I was walking around in a daze

But today I stand before you
with nothing but praise

​

OLD ABRAM BROWN

Old Abram Brown is dead and gone

You’ll never see him more
He used to wear a long brown coat

That buttoned down before


​

Round and round the earth is turning

Turning always round to morning

And from morning round to night

I will marry at thy will, sire,

At thy will.

The ball goes up, the ball comes down

The ball keeps going round and round

I catch, You throw

Heads up, heads up follow

 

THE WOODS ARE LOVELY

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep

But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep

​

TO THE GREENWOOD

Come follow, follow, follow
Follow, follow, follow me
Whither shall I follow, follow, follow

Whither shall I follow, follow thee?
To the greenwood, to the greenwood

To the greenwood, greenwood tree

 

WHAT A WEIRD BIRD

What a weird bird - - the frog is

When he sit, he stand almost

When he walk, he fly almost

When he talk, he cry almost

He ain’t got no sense, hardly
He ain’t got no tail, either, hardly

He sits on what he ain’t got hardly

​

WHY SHOULDN’T MY GOOSE

Why shouldn’t my goose

Sing as well as thy goose

When I paid for my goose

Twice as much as thine
