1. _ Bamboo
You take a stick of bamboo,
You take a stick of bamboo,
You take a stick of bamboo,
You throw it in the water,
Oh, oh, hanaah.
You take a stick of bamboo,
You take a stick of bamboo,
You take a stick of bamboo,
You throw it in the water,
Oh, oh, hanaah.
River, she come down.
River, she come down.
You travel on the river,
You travel on the river,
You travel on the river,
You travel on the water,
Oh, oh, hanaah.
You travel on the river,
You travel on the river,
You travel on the river,
You travel on the water,
Oh, oh, hanaah.
River, she come down.

My home's across the river,
My home's across the river.
My home's across the river,
My home's across the water.
Oh, oh, hanaah.
My home's across the river,
My home's across the river.
My home's across the river,
My home's across the water.
Oh, oh, hanaah.

You take a stick of bamboo,
You take a stick of bamboo,
You throw it in the water.

2. _ 500 Miles
If you miss the train i'm on, you will know that i am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
Lord i'm one, lord i'm two, lord i'm three, lord i'm four,
Lord i'm 500 miles from my home.
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord i'm five hundred miles from my home.
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord i can't go a-home this a-way
This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way,
Lord i can't go a-home this a-way.
If you miss the train i'm on you will know that i am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

3. _ Sorrow
I am a man of constant sorrow;
I've seen trouble all my day
I'm going back to california,
Place where i was partly raised.
All through this world, i'm bound to ramble.
Through storm and wind, through sleet and rain
I'm bound to ride that northern railroad,
Perhaps i'll take the very next train.
Your friends they say i am a stranger.
You'll never see my face no more.
There is just one promise that's given.
We'll sail on god's golden shore.
I am a man of constant sorrow,
I've seen trouble all my day
I'm going back to california,
Place where i was partly raised.

4. _ It's Raining
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Bumped his head and he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
(spoken)
"hey i got an idea ... we could all play hide and go seek inside,
Now everybody hide and i'll be it!"
Star light, star bright,
First star i see tonight,
Wish i may, wish i might,
Have the wish i wish tonight.
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Bumped his head and he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
Five ten fifteen twenty.
Twenty-five thirty. thirty-five forty.
Lady bug, lady bug, fly away home.
Your house is on fire, and your children,
They will burn, they will burn.
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Bumped his head and he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
Forty-five fifty. fifty-five sixty.
Sixty-five seventy. seventy-five eighty.
Won't be my father's jack,
No i won't be my mother's jill,
I'll be a fiddler's wife and fiddle when i will.
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Bumped his head and he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
Eighty-five, ninety. ninety-five, a hundred.
(spoken) anyone round my base is it! ready or not, here i come!
(spoken) allee allee in free!

5. _ Lemon Tree
when i was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
"come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree."
"don't put your faith in love, my boy", my father said to me,
"i fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Beneath the lemon tree one day, my love and i did a lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the sun rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me:
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
One day she left without a word. she took away the sun.
And in the dark she left behind, i knew what she had done.
She'd left me for another, it's a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now i sing these words to you:
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

6. _ Cruel War
The cruel war is raging, johnny has to fight
I want to be with him from morning to night.
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so,
Won't you let me go 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 go with you?
No, my love, no.
I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing i'll put on,
I'll pass as your comrade, as we march along.
I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know.
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.
Oh johnny, oh johnny, i fear you are unkind
I love you far better than all of mankind.
I love you far better than words can e're express
Won't you let me go with you?
Yes, my love, yes.
Yes, my love, yes.

7. _ Early In The Morning
Well early in the morning, about the break of day,
I ask the Lord, "Help me find the way!"
Help me find the way to the promised land
This lonely body needs a helping hand
I ask the Lord to help me please find the way.
When the new day's a dawning, I bow my head in prayer.
I pray to the Lord, "Won't you lead me there?"
Won't you guide me safely to the Golden Stair?
Won't you let this body your burden share?
I pray to the Lord, "Won't you lead me please, lead me there?"
When the judgment comes to find the world in shame
When the trumpet blows won't you call my name?
When the thunder rolls and the heavens rain
When the sun turns black, never shine again
When the trumpet blows, won't you call me please, call my name!

8. _ If I Had My Way
You read about sampson, you read about his birth
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth.
One day old sampson was walking alone
He looked down on the ground and he saw an old jaw-bone.
He lifted up that jaw-bone and he swung it over his head,
And when he got to moving ten thousand was dead.
If i had my way,
If i had my way in this wicked world,
If i had my way i would tear this building down.
Sampson and the lion got in attack
Sampson he crawled up on the lion's back
You read about this lion - he killed a man with his paw
Sampson he got his hands around the lion's jaw
And he ripped that beast till the lion was dead
And the bees made honey in the lion's head.
If i had my way,
If i had my way in this wicked world,
If i had my way i would tear this building down.
Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair
She had lovely looks, god knows, and cold black hair
Delilah she climbed up on sampson's knee
And said "tell me where your strength lies, if you please"
She talked so fine, she talked so fair,
Sampson said "delilah, cut off my hair,
Shave my head just as clean as your hand
And my strength will be like a natural man."
If i had my way,
If i had my way in this wicked world,
If i had my way i would tear this building down.
If i had my way,
If i had my way in this wicked world,
If i had my way i would tear this building down.

9. _ If I Had A Hammer
If i had a hammer,
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening,
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger,
I'd hammer out a warning,
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
If i had a bell,
I'd ring it in the morning,
I'd ring it in the evening,
All over this land
I'd ring out danger,
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
If i had a song,
I'd sing it in the morning,
I'd sing it in the evening,
All over this land
I'd sing out danger,
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
Well i got a hammer,
And i got a bell,
And i got a song to sing, all over this land.
It's the hammer of justice,
It's the bell of freedom,
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
It's the hammer of justice,
It's the bell of freedom,
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

10. _ Autumn To May
Oh once i had a little dog, his color it was brown
I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run
His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide
Around the world in half a day, upon him i could ride.
Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.
Oh once i had a little frog, he wore a vest of red
He'd lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head
He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do,
Of all the kings and queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe.
Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.
Oh once i had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather
I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather
And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town
To bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound.
Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.
Oh once i had a downey swan, she was so very frail
She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail
The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly
And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie.
Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.

11. _ This Train
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train.
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train.
This train don't carry no gamblers,
No crap shooters, no midnight ramblers,
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train.
This train, don't carry no jokers, well, this train.
This train, don't carry no jokers, well, this train.
This train, don't carry no jokers,
No high-tone women, no cigar smokers, well
This train, don't carry no jokers, well, this train.
This train, done carried my mother, well, this train.
This train, done carried my mother, well, this train.
This train, done carried my mother,
My mother, my father, my sister and my brother,
This train, done carried my mother, well this train.
This train, she's bound for glory, well, this train
This train, she's bound for glory, well, this train
This train, she's bound for glory, well, this train
This train, she's bound for glory,
If you want to get to heaven then you've got to be holy, well,
This train, she's bound for glory, well, this train
