Once I loved a girl, and I loved her as my life
Truly would I have given her my hand and my heart
To make her my wife
But she took me by the hand, and she led me to the door
And the answer that she gave me was, Don't come here no more
O don't come here no more
So I stayed away six months which caused her to complain
And she wrote to me a letter saying, Please come back again
O, please come back again
So I wrote to her another, and it was to let her know
That a young man often ventures where he ought not to go
Ought not to go
For the leaves they will wither, and the roots they will decay
And the beauty of a fair young maid will soon fade away
O-oh will soon fade away
We had some chickens _ no eggs would they lay (x2)
So I said honey, this sure ain't funny
We're losing money; no eggs would they lay
One day a rooster crept into our yard
And caught those chickens right off of their guard
They're laying eggs now just like they used to
Ever since that rooster crept into our yard.
We had some moo-cows _ no milk would they give (x2)
So, I said honey, this sure ain't funny
We're losing money; no milk would they give
One day a rooster crept into our yard
And caught those moo-cows right off of their guard
They're giving egg nog instead of milk now
Ever since that rooster crept into our yard.
We had some elephants _ no tusks would they grow (x2)
So I said honey, this sure ain't funny
We're losing money; no tusks would they grow
One day a rooster crept into our yard
And caught those elephants right off of their guard
They're laying eggs now of solid ivory
Ever since that rooster crept into our yard.
We had a tractor _ it just wouldn't go (x2)
So I said honey, this sure ain't funny
We're losing money; it just wouldn't go
One day a rooster crept into our yard
And caught that tractor right off of its guard
Now it goes EGGsactly just like it used to
Ever since that rooster crept into our yard.
We had some scientists _ they just wouldn't work (x2)
So I said honey, this sure ain't funny
We're losing money; they just wouldn't work
One day a rooster crept into our yard
And caught those scientists right off of their guard
They're doing EGGsperiments just like they used to
Ever since that rooster crept into our yard.
Johnny Todd, he took a notion
For to sail the ocean wide
But he left his true love behind him
Weeping by the Liverpool tide
For a while she wept full sorely
Tore her hair and wrung her hands
Till she met up with another sailor
Walking on the Liverpool sands
Why fair maiden, are you weeping
For your Johnny gone to sea?
If you will wed with me tomorrow
I will kind and constant be
I will buy you sheets and blankets
I will buy you a wedding ring
And I'll give to you a gilded cradle
For to rock your baby in
Johnny Todd came back from sailing
Sailing o'er the ocean wide
But he found his fair and false one
Was another sailor's bride
So all young men who go a-sailing
For to fight the foreign foe
Don't you leave your love, like Johnny
Marry her before you go
The Summertime has come
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon clear crystal fountain
And on it I will plant
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together...
And if my true love she won't come
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together...
I will build my love a shelter
On yon high mountain green
And my love shall be fairest
That the summer sun has seen
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?

The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn!
Now is the time for a child to be born
If he's a boy he'll carry a gun
Sang the crow on the cradle
If it should be that our baby's a girl
Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
And a bomber above her wherever she goes
Sang the crow on the cradle
Rockabye, baby, the dark and the light
Somebody's baby is born for a fight
Rockabye baby the white and the black
Somebody's baby is not coming back
Sang the crow on the cradle
Your mammy and pappy they'll scrape and they'll save
Build you a coffin and dig you a grave
Hushabye, little one, why do you weep?
We've got a toy that will put you to sleep
Sang the crow on the cradle
Oh bring me a gun and I'll shoot that crow dead
That's what your mammy and pappy once said
The crow's on my cradle, oh what shall I do?
That is a thing that I leave to you
Sang the crow on the cradle

Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly
Blow the wind south o'er the bonny blue sea.
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly
Blow bonny breeze, my lover to me.
The told me last night there are ships in the offing
And I hurried down to the deep rolling sea
But my eye could not see it where'er it might be
The barque that is bearing my lover to me.
Blow the wind southerly ...
Blow the wind south that my lover may come,
Blow the wind southerly ...
Blow bonny breeze and bring him safe home.
I stood by the lighthouse that last time we parted
Till darkness came o'er the deep rolling sea
And I no longer saw the bright barque of my lover
Blow bonny breeze and bring him to me.
Blow the wind southerly ...
Blow the wind south o'er the bonny blue sea
Blow the wind southerly ...
Blow bonny breeze my lover to me.
Is it sweet to hear the breeze singing
As lightly it comes o'er the deep rolling sea
But sweeter and dearer by far when 'tis bringing
The barque of my true love in safety to me.

My Grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born
And was always his pleasure and pride,
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering, tick tock, tick tock
His life's seconds numbering, tick tock, tick tock
It stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours had he spent as a boy
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know
And to share in his grief and his joy
For it struck twenty four as he entered in the door
With his blushing and beautiful bride
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering...
My Grandfather said that of those he could hire
Not a servant more true could be found
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
At the end of each week to be wound
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face
And its hands never hung by its side
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering...
It struck an alarm in the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit was poised for its flight
That the hour of departure had come
Still the clock kept strict time with a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering, tick tock, tick tock
His life's seconds numbering, tick tock, tick tock
It stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died

In Plymouth Town there lived a maid
Bless you young women
In Plymouth Town there lived a maid
Mark well what I do say
In Plymouth Town there lived a maid
And she was mistress of her trade
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid
A-roving a-roving
Since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a-roving
With you, fair maid
I took this fair maid for a walk
Bless you young women
I took this fair maid for a walk
Mark well what I do say
I took this fair maid for a walk
And we had such a loving talk
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid
A-roving a-roving
Since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a-roving
With you, fair maid
I put my arm around her waist
Bless you young women
I put my arm around her waist
Mark well what I do say
I put my arm around her waist
Cried she; Young man, you're in great haste
I'll go no more a-roving with thee, fair maid
A-roving a-roving
Since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a-roving
With you, fair maid
I took that maid upon my knee
Bless you young women
I took that maid upon my knee
Mark well what I do say
I took that maid upon my knee
Cried she; Young man, you're much too free
I'll go no more a-roving with thee fair maid
A-roving a-roving
Since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a-roving
With you, fair maid
She swore that she'd be true to me
Bless you young women
She swore that she'd be true to me
Mark well what I do say
She swore that she'd be true to me,
But spent my money both fast and free
I'll go no more a-roving with thee, fair maid
A-roving a-roving
Since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a-roving
With you, fair maid
Now when I got back home from sea
Bless you young women
Now when I got back home from sea
Mark well what I do say
Now when I got back home from sea
A soldier had her on his knee
I'll go no more a-roving with thee fair maid
A-roving a-roving
Since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a-roving
With you, fair maid
There once was a troop of Irish Dragoons
Came marching down through Fyvie-O
And our Captain's fell in love wi' a lady like a dove
The fairest maiden in Fyvie-O
There's many a bonny lass in the hire of Inverness
There's many a bonny lass in the Fyvie-O
There's many a bonny Jean in the streets of Aberdeen
But the fairest o' them all is pretty Peggy-O
Come tripping down the stairs pretty Peggy my dear
Come tripping down the stairs pretty Peggy-O
Come tripping down the stairs, comb back your yellow hair
And bid a last farewell to your mammy-O
What would your mammy think if she heard the guineas chink
And the hautboys playing afore ye-O?
What would your mammy think if she heard the guineas chink
And kenned you were married to a soldier O?
I never did intend a soldier's wife to be
I never will marry a soldier-O
I never did intend going to a foreign land
I'd rather bide here with my mammy-O
Then its up cries the Colonel mount boys mount
Oh tarry cries our captain oh tarry-O
Oh tarry for a while for another day or two
To see if this fair maiden will marry O
It was early the next morning as we marched away
And oh, but our captain was sorry-O
The drums they did beat o'er the bonnie braes o'gight
And the fife played the Lowlands of Fyvie-O
