what did you learn in school...
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
The lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
His will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
When we're been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
a
soalin'
(Stookey/Batteaste/Mezzetti)
Hey ho, nobody home, meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet shall we be merry, Hey ho, nobody home.
Hey ho, nobody home, Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet shall we be merry, Hey ho, nobody home.
Hey Ho, nobody home.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
any good thing to make us all merry,
One for you, two for you, three for Him who made us all.
God bless the master of this house, and the mistress also
And all the little children that round your table grow.
The cattle in your stable and the dog by your front door
And all that dwell within your gates
we wish you ten times more.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
any good thing to make us all merry,
One for me, two for you, three for Him who made us all.
Go down into the cellar and see what you can find
If the barrels are not empty we hope you will be kind
We hope you will be kind with your apple and strawber'
For we'll come no more a 'soalin' till this time next year.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
any good thing to make us all merry,
One for me, two for you, three for Him who made us all
The streets are very dirty, my shoes are very thin.
I have a little pocket to put a penny in.
If you haven't got a penny, a ha' penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha' penny then God bless you.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
any good thing to make us all merry,
One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all.
Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace..
This holy tide of Christmas of beauty and of grace,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

the
cruel war
(Peter, Paul and Mary)
The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight
I long to be with him from morning 'till night
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so
Won't you let me come with you? No, my love, no.
Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day
That your captain will call you and you must obey
Your captain will call you, it grieves my heart so
Won't you let me come with you? No, my love, no.
I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on
I'll pass for your comrade as we march along
I'll pass for your comrade, no one will ever know
Won't you let me come with you? No, my love, no.
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I feel you are unkind
I love you far better than all of mankind
I love you far better than words can e'er express
Won't you let me come with you? Yes, my love, yes.
They marched into battle, she never left his side
'Til a bullet shell struck her and love was denied
A bullet shell struck her, tears came to Johnny's eyes
As he knelt down beside her, she silently died.
daddy,
you been on
my mind
(sung by joan baez. bob dylan's cover)
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at,
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,
But daddy, you been on my mind.
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset,
I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget you."
I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet,
daddy, you been on my mind.
Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.
It don't even matter to me who you're wakin' with tomorrow,
But daddy, you're just on my mind.
I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
Please understand me, I 'm not calling for you t' go.
I'm just breathin' to myself, pretendin' not that I don't know,
Daddy, you been on my mind.
When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror.
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her mind.
greenback
dollar
(Hoyt Axton/Ken Ramsey)
Some people say I'm a no 'count. Others say I'm no good.
But I'm just a nat'ral-born travelin' man,
doin' what I think I should, O, yeah.
Doin' what I think I should.
Chorus:
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar,
spend it as fast as I can.
For a wailin' song and a good guitar,
the only things that I understand, poor boy,
the only things that I understand.
When I was a little baby, my momma said, "Hey, son.
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy.
Sing what must be sung."
(Chorus)
Now that I'm a grown man,
I've traveled here and there.
I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song,
The only ones who ever care, poor boy,
the only ones who ever care.
father
and son
(Cat Stevens)
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
You're still young that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy
To be calm, when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
How can I try to explain? When I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know I have to go away
And I know I have to go
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
a farewell
angelina
(written by BobDylan, sung by Joan Baez)
Farewell Angelina
The bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits
I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles
And the trumpet play slow
Farewell Angelina
The sky is on fire
And I must go.
There's no need for anger
There's no need for blame
There's nothing to prove
Ev'rything's still the same
Just a table standing empty
By the edge of the sea
Farewell Angelina
The sky is trembling
And I must leave.
The jacks and queens
Have forsaked the courtyard
Fifty-two gypsies
Now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce
And the ace once ran wild
Farewell Angelina
The sky is folding
I'll see you in a while.
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
Perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans
With a sawed-off shotgun
And the neighbors they clap
And they cheer with each blast
Farewell Angelina
The sky's changing color
And I must leave fast.
King Kong, little elves
On the rooftoops they dance
Valentino-type tangos
While the make-up man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
Not to embarrass anyone
Farewell Angelina
The sky is embarrassed
And I must be gone.
The machine guns are roaring
The puppets heave rocks
The fiends nail time bombs
To the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like
I will never deny it
Farewell Angelina
The sky is erupting
I must go where it's quiet.
if
you miss me
(Peter Seeger)
1. If you miss me at the back of the bus,you can find me nowhere,
oh,
come on over to the front of the bus, I`ll be riding up there.
I`ll be riding up there, I`ll be riding up there, oh,
come on over to the front of the bus, I`ll be riding up there.
2. If you miss me on the picket line, you can find me nowhere, oh,
come on over to the city jail, I`ll be rooming over there.
I`ll be rooming over there, I`ll be rooming over there, oh,
come on over to the city jail, I`ll be rooming over there.
3. If you miss me in the Mississippi River, you can find me nowhere,
come on over to the swimming-pool, I`ll be swimming right there.
I`ll be swimming right there, I`ll be swimming right there, oh,
come on over to the swimming-pool, I`ll be swimming right there.
4. If you miss me in the cotton field, you can find me nowhere,
oh,
come on over to the courthouse, I`ll be voting right there.
I`ll be voting right there, I`ll be voting right there, oh,

They say that love's a gentle thing, but it's only brought me pain
For the only man I ever loved, has gone on the midnight train
I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single, all the days of my life
Well, the train pull out a whistle blew, with a long and a lonesome
moan
He's gone, he's gone, like the morning dew, and left me all alone
I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single, all the days of my.life
Well, there's many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the cloud's design
There's many a change in a young man's heart
But never a change in mine
I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single, all the days of my.life
1. When I was a young man and never been kissed, I got to thinking
over what I had missed. I got me a girl I kissed her and then, oh
Lord, I kissed her again.
Refrain: Oh oh kisses sweeter than wine
Oh oh, oh kisses sweeter than wine.
2. He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife and we would be so happy the rest of our life He begged and he pleaded like a natural man, and than, oh Lord, I gave him my hand.
3. I worked mighty hard and so did my wife, A-working hand in hand to make a good life. With corn in the fields and wheat in the bins, and then, oh Lord, I was father of twins.
4. Our children numbered just about four, and they all had sweethearts knocking at the door. They all got married and they didn´t hesitate, We were, oh Lord, grandparents of eight.
5. Now we are old an ready to go, we get to thinking what happened
a long time ago, we had a lot of kids, trouble and pain, But, oh
Lord, we´d do it again.
Little boxes on the hill side, little boxes made of ticky tacky.
Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow
one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky, and they all look just
the same.
And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes, little boxes, all the same.
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and there's business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the
same.
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dry
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they all get put in boxes and they all come out the same.
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow
one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the
same.
silver
dagger
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand a silver dagger,
She says that I can't be your bride.
All men are false, says my mother,
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
The very next evening, they'll court another,
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long,
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.
Go court another tender maiden,
And hope that she will be your wife,
For I've been warned, and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life.

this
land is your
land
(Woody Guthrie)
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
And saw above me that endless skyway,
And saw below me the golden valley, I said:
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,
And all around me, a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
In wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling;
the fog was lifting and the voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me
[God blessed America for me.]

what
did you learn
in school today
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that Washington never told a lie.
I learned that soldiers never die.
I learned that everybody's free,
And that's what the teacher said to me.
Chorus
That's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school.
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that policemen are my friends.
I learned that justice never ends.
I learned that murderers die for their crimes
Even if we make a mistake sometimes.
Chorus
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that Government must be strong;
It's always right and never wrong;
Our leaders are the finest men
And we elect them again and again.
Chorus
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that war is not so bad;
I learned about the great ones we have had;
We fought in Germany and in France
And someday I might get my chance.
where
have all the
flowers gone
(written by Pete Seeger, sung by Peter, Paul & Mary)
Where have all the flowers gone,
long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone,
long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
young girls picked them, every one;
Oh, when will you ever learn,
Oh, when will you ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone,
long time passing?
Where have all the young girls gone,
long time ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
They've taken husbands, every one;
Oh, when will you ever learn,
Oh, when will you ever learn?
Where have all the young men gone,
long time passing?
Where have all the young men gone,
long time ago?
Where have all the young men gone?
They're all in uniform;
Oh, when will we ever learn,
Oh, when will we ever learn?
with
God in our
side
(written by bob dylan, sung a capella by judy collins)
Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.
Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.
Oh the Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.
Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.
When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.
I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.
But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.
In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.
So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.
