1. _ The Ballad Of St. Anne's Reel
This song was first released on the autograph album. it is the only album it has been released on.
He was stranded in some tiny town
On fair prince edward isle
Awaitin' for a ship to come and find him
A one-horse place, a friendly face
Some coffee and a tiny trace
Of fiddlin' in the distance far behind him
A dime across the counter then
A shy hello, a brand new friend
A walk along the street in the wintry weather
A yellow light, an open door
And a welcome friend, there's room for more
And then they're standing there inside together
He said i've heard that tune before somewhere
But i can't remember when
Was it on some other friendly shore
Or did i hear it on the wind
Was it written on the sky above
I think i heard it from someone i loved
But i never heard it sound so sweet since then
Now his feet begin to tap
A little boy says i'll take your hat
He's caught up in the magic of her smile
And leap the heart inside him went
And off across the floor he sent
His clumsy body graceful as a child
He said there's magic in the fiddler's arm
There's magic in this town
There's magic in the dancers' feet
And the way they put them down
People smilin' everywhere
Boots and ribbons, locks of hair
And laughter and old blue suits and easter gowns
Now the sailors' gone, the room is bare
The old piano settin' there
Someone's hat's left hanging on the rack
And empty chairs, the wooden floor
That feels the touch of shoes no more
Awaitin' for the dancers to come back
And the fiddle's in the closet
Of some daughter of the town
The strings are broke and the bow is gone
And the cover's buttoned down
But sometimes on december nights
When the air is cold and the wind is right
There's a melody that passes through this town

3. _ (you Dun Stomped) My Heart
This song was first released on the rhymes and reasons album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I told you that i loved you
You said that is so good
I called you my darlin'
I thought i always would
But now you've gone and left me
I don't know what to do
So my little darlin'
I write these words to you
You dun stomped on my heart
And you mashed that sucker flat
You just sortta stomped on high aorta
You started going out with guys
I felt us drum apart
And every step you took
Was a stomp upon my heart
I onty hope that someday you get
Them low down blues
In some smokey honky tonk
You looked down at your shoes
You'll think about that tender heart
That you crushed beneath them soles
With your cold bustin' stompers
You left my head so full of holes

4. _ Yellow Cat
This song was first released on the rhymes and reasons album. it is the only album it has been released on.
It's late december the new years never coming
Time passes slowly in a two room walk up flat
The sun is silent
As a cold rain gonna come on
No one to talk to
But my lady's yellow cat
Rain drops talling on the flowers
In the window box
Plastic roses that i planted yesterday
I didn't think it does too soon
But there all withered now
Seems like everything i touch
Turns out that way
Well i guess i just go walking
The cats no good tor talkin'to
He r don't know what i'm saying
And the rain is always
Playing on my mind
On my mind
Street lights driring through the blinds
That cover window panes
Blending soflly with the bare lights over head
Then together
They run swiflly through my memory
And every image ot a strange and empty bed

5. _ Amsterdam
This song was first released on the take me to tomorrow album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Of the dreams that he brings from the wide open sea
In the port of amsterdam there's a sailor who sleeps
While the river bank sweeps to the old willow tree
In the port of amsterdam there's a sailor who dies
Full of beer, full of cries in a drunkin' down fight
But in the port of amsterdam there's a sailor who's bom
On a muggy, hot mom by the dawns early light
In the port of amsterdam where the sailors all meet
There's a sailor who eats only fish heads and tails
He will show you his teeth that have rotted too soon
That can swallow the moon that can haul up the i sails
And he asks to the cook with his amms open wide
Bring me more fish, put it down by my side
And he wants so to belch, but he's too full to try
So he gets up and he laughs, and he zips up his fty
In the port of amsterdam you can see sailors dance
Haunches bursting their pants, binding women to paunch
They've forgotten the tune that their whiskey voice croaks
And their splitting the night with the roar of their jokes
And they tum and they dance and they laugh and they lust
To the rats it sounds of the accordion burst
Then he's out into the night with their pride in their pants
With a slut that they tow undemeath the street lamps
In the port of amsterdam there's a sailor who drinks
And he drinks, and he drinks, and he drinks once again
He drinks to the health of the whores of amsterdam
Who have promised their love to a thousand other men
And they darken their bodies, and their virtue long gone
For a few dirty coins
And then when he can't go on
He plants his nose in the sky
And he wipes it up above
And he spits like to cry for an unfaithful love
In the port of amsterdam, in the port of amsterdam
In the port of amsterdam

Everyday, it's a gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way

Oh i love the changing seasons
Green and growing all around
Smiling faces laughing children

Though it might seem far away
If you have some dreams to build on
May we help you today

8. _ My Old Man
This song was first released on the rhymes and reasons album. it is the only album it has been released on.
My old man had a rounder's soul.
He'd hear an old freight train.
Then he'd have to go.
Said he'd been blessed with a gipsy bone.
That's the reason they guessed
He'd been cursed to roam.
Came into town back before the war.
Didn't even know what it was
He was looking for.
He carried a tattered bag for his violin.
It was full of lots of songs
Of places that he'd been.
He talked real ea-sy had a smiling way
To pass along to you
When his fiddle played.
Making people drop their cares and woes.
To hum out loud those tunes
That his fiddle howed.
Till the people there began to join that sound.
And everyone in town was laughing.
Singing, dancing round.
Like the fiddler's tune was all they heard that night.
As if some dream said
"All the world is right"
His fiddler's eye caught one beauty there.
She had that rollin' flowin'
golden kind of hair.
He played for her as if she danced alone.
He played his favorite songs.
Ones he called his own.
He played until she was the last to go.
He stopped and packed his case
And said he'd take her home.
All the nights that passed a child was born.
All the years that passed.
That love would keep them warm.
All their lives they'd share a dream come true.
All because she danced
while his fiddle tuned.
My old man had a rounder's soul.
He'd hear an old freight train.
Then he'd have to go.
All that I recall said when I was so young.
No one else could really
Sing those songs he sung.

9. _ When I'm Sixty-four
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the rhymes and reasons album, and it has also been released on the changes album.
When i get older, losin' my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greeting, bottle of wine
If i got home at a quarter to three
Would you lock the door
Will you still lead me
Will you still feed me
When i'm sixty-four
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
I could be happy fixing a fuse
Whe the lights are gone
You could knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday morning go for a ride
Doin' the garden, diggin' the weeds
Who could ask for more
Will you still lead me
Will you still feed me
When i'm sixty-four
Every summer we can rent a cottage in the isle of white
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, chuck and dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
You're sincerely wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine forever more
Will you still lead me
Will you still feed me
When i'm sixty-four
Oh yeah

10. _ You're Still The One For Me
This song was first released on the stonehaven sunrise album. it is the only album it has been released on. (cassandra delaney sings this song)
Many moons have come and gone
No one else has come along
You're still the one for me
After all this time has passed
Only one thing seems to last
You're still the one for me
You would think that a year or two
Is time enough to heal anybody's broken heart
I keep remembering the way it used to feel
When i held you in my arms
I let you slip away
I'm gonna get you back someday
You're still the one for me
I finally figured out i made a big mistake
To ever let you leave
I'm gonna find you and i don't care what it takes
This fool needed time to see
I let you slip away
Gonna get you back someday
You're still the one for me
I'm gonna look through every town
Until i track you down
You're still the one for me
I'll leave no stone unturned
Gonna cross that bridge i burned
You're still the one for me

11. _ Love Of The Common People
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the whose garden was this? album, and has also been released on the changes album.
Living on free food tickets
Watering the milk from the hole in the rool
Where the rain came through
What can we do?
Tears from your baby sister crying
Cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go
Ah, but you know she'll get by because she's
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's going to buy you a dream to cling to
Mommy's gonna love you as much as she can, and she can
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
Walkin' to town to find a job
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills to the bone
Boy you better go home where it's warm
And you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's goin' to buy you a dream to cling to
Mummy's goin' to love you as much as she can
And she can
Livin' on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take them in stride, family pride
You know faith is your foundation
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
And many a prayer
Making you strong, where you belong
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's goin' to buy you a dream to cling to
Mummy's goin' to love you just as much as she can
Yeah
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's goin' to buy you a dream to cling to
Mummy's goin' to love you just as much as she can
Yeah

12. _ Durango Mountain Caballero
This song was first released on the rocky mountain holiday album. it is the only album it has been released on.
You know i love the trail i'm on
And the friends who ride with me
The country that we're passing through
Is a paradise to see
A haven for my spirit
The homeland of my dreams
My heart flies through the wilderness
And on an eagle's wings
And oh i love the waterfall
And the way the river sings
From snowcapped peaks both proud and tall
Through forests deep and green
The highway of the mountains
The lifeblood of the land
I can hear my mother speak to me
And hold my father's hand
Durango mountain caballero
Take me for a ride
On the backbone of this mighty land
The continental divide
To the place where earth and heaven meet
The mountains and the sky
In the heart of colorado
Rocky mountain high
And oh i love the campfire
And the circle that i'm in
The stories and the laughter
They should never ever end
Forever in my memory
Forever in my song
On a san juan mountain trail ride
I'll carry you along

13. _ And So It Goes
This song was first released on the stonehaven sunrise album. it is the only album it has been released on.
A mansion on a hill is a lovely sight to see
But like any other house it's only temporary
Home is anywhere you choose to put your heart
If there's no love inside, it will soon fall apart
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buildings will crumble, bridges will rust
Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up
And so it goes with everything but love
You can drive around in a long imousine
If you don't know where you're going, it don't mean a thing
He who'd walk a mile just to hold an empty hand
Knows what it means to be a wealthy man
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Palaces will crumble, bridges will rust
Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up
And so it goes with everything but love
Worldly treasures will all pass away
There's just one thing that was put here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Kingdoms will crumble, bridges will rust
Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up
And so it goes with everything but love

In my mind i'm going to carolina
Can't you see the sunshine

You'd best walk away and watchhine
Watch her watch the morning come

There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
And love's the finest thing around

Dark and silent, late last night
I think i might have heard the highway call
Eastern flight, dogs that bight
Signs that might be omens
Say i'm goin, i'm goin'
I'm going to carolina in my mind
With a holy host of others standing round me, yeah
Still i'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me, if it's of an
In my mind i'm going to carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
And i'm going to carolina in my mind
In my mind i'm going to carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind

Today is the first day
Of the rest of my life
I wake as a child

Want to put on faces
Walk in the wet and cold
And look forward to my growing old
To grow old is to change
To change is to be new
To be new is to be young again
I barely remember when
My memories are stolen by the moming
Blotted out by the suns hypnotic eye
Today is the first day
Of the rest of my life
I wake as a child
To see the world begin
On monarch queens
And birthday wondenngs
Want to put on faces

Get at 'em boys, go back home
Back to the girl you love
Treat her right, never wrong

On the trail of the old lonesome pine
Thinking of you baby

Wondering why i left you behind
Get at 'em boys, go back home
Back to the girl you love
Treat her right, never wrong

There's a lake in the hill
Where my true love goes
That's when she's thinkin' of me
Why i'm not there only heaven knows

Lbums.
Dear friend of mine, the weather's fine
Today i saw some ruins of the roman world' decline
And i climbed all those spanish steps, you've heard of them no doubt
But rome has lost its glory, i don't know what it's about
I wish you were here
(when the shadows fall and all the rushing traffic stills)
I wish you were here
(and the bells are ringing on the seven hills)
I make my way to a small cafe
I wonder what you did today
Wish you were here
Dear one at home, i just flew in from rome
And paris is a postcard all decked in color chrome
And so i climbed the eiffel tower and prayed at notre dame
But i just can't find the romance and i wonder why i came
I wish you were here
(on the champs elysees, lovers walking hand in hand)
I wish you were here
(they take one look at me and seem to understand)
This city of light is a lovely sight
The first bright star i see tonight
Wish you were here
Now i write this from the plane
Drinking cheap champagne
Wonderin' why two people got so far apart
I wish you were here
(here in london where the rain is pouring down)
I wish you were here
(on this airplane headed back to new york town)
I'll never leave you alone again
I'm coming home, but until then
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here

Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land
A breeze upon the waters, rainfall on the sand
We celebrate a baby born from spirit into man
And christmas like a lullaby steals across the land
It's morning in australia; in fact it's christmas day
And colorado never seemed so very far away
Back where night has fallen and it's still christmas eve
And snow is in the mountains that i always hate to leave
But here i am down under with a brand new family
Christmas bells are ringing
There's presents 'neath the tree
I know that it's been said before and now i know it's true
That home is where the heart is
And christmas lives there too
And on this morning peace on earth
Is still your fervent prayer
And i can feel it being
Whispered softly everywhere
And guns are are called to silence
And anger called to still
And brotherhood and sisterhood
Surrounded by goodwill
Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land
A breeze upon the waters, rainfall on the sand
We celebrate a baby born from spirit into man
And christmas like a lullaby steals across the land

And you know i do

You know i'm just learning how it feels to be free
You know i never really knew just what it could be

This song was first released on the autograph album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Whalebones and crosses
Stand against the arctic sky
The wind blows through the graveyard
Where our fallen fathers lie
Eternal snow that covers them
The shadows of the sun
The mighty struggle on the seas
A way of life is run
I'll sing for you my father
For the ancient sacred ways
How the hunter loved the hunted
How the night becomes the day
The circle of the mighty spirit
Keeps us in its fold
The warmth of understanding
Like a light shot through the cold
Then bring to me my people
Touch them with your loving hands
Lead them from confusion
Lead them back unto the land
For a sickness seems to block their path
It clouds my peoples' eyes
The promise that an idle truth
Will reap a golden lie
Whalebones and crosses
Stand against the arctic sky
The wind blows through the graveyard
Where our fallen fathers lie
The timeless hunt a journey back
To what we once came from
Compassion and nobility
Beneath the midnight sun
The mighty struggle of the seas
A way of life is run

Hey old pal
How've you been doing
I'm really not foolin'
I'm so glad to see you
Hey old pal
My life's been kind of crazy
I'm ready to be lazy
Hangin' around with you
Well even in the very, very worst of times
There's one thing that i know
The way to guarantee
A little peace of mind
Is a walk in the woods
A friend by your side
And here we go
Hey old pal
It's great to be here with you
The thing i'd like to give you
Is a real good time
Hey old pal
I really can't believe it
But now that you can see it
It looks just fine
What a chance to play and sing
And have some fun
The day should never end
This will be a rocky mountain holiday
With you and me
And all we can see
And all of our friends
Hey old pal
We must be daydreamin'
At least the things we're seein'
Are a dream come true
Hey there gang
It's great to be together
It just keeps gettin' better
I can promise you
This is going to be
The very best of times
And we will make it so
No more hustle and bustle
And no more telephone lines
And now that we're here
Let's grab all our gear
And off we go

27. _ Mr. Bojangles
Knew a man bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high
He jumped so high
And he

28. _ Take Me To Tomorrow
This song was first released on the take me to tomorrow album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Hey everybody, tell me how do you feel
Are you satisfied with your life
Do you think it's real
Tell me how is your head
What are your dreams
Do you have any plans
Do you have any schemes
Do you care about - about anybody
I'd like to know
Is the answer no
Take me to tomorrow
Take me there today
I've had my fill of sorrow and living this way
Take me to tomorrow
That's where i'd like to be
The day after tomorrow is waiting for me
Hey everybody, what's on your mind
Do you think there's nowhere else to go
There's nothing left to find
Are you happy where you are
Do you have anything to share
Do you think you're going to waste your life
Spending it there
Would you like to find a way out
Do think it's worth a try
I'd like to know
Is the answer no well maybe so
Take me to tomorrow
Take me there today
I've had my fill of sorrow and living this way
Take me to tomorrow
That's where i'd like to be
The day after tomorrow is waiting for me
Take me to tomorrow
Take me there today
I've had my fill of sorrow and living your way
Take me to tomorrow
That's where i'd like to be
The day after tomorrow is waiting
The day after tomorrow is waiting
The day after tomorrow is waiting for me

29. _ I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free
This song was first released on the rhymes and reasons album. it is the only album it has been released on.
And i wish i knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish that i could break
All the chains holding me
I wish i could say
All the things that i'd like to say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish i could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove every doubt
It keeps us apart
And i wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
Every man should be free
I wish i could live
Like i'm longin' to live
I wish i could give
What i'm longin' to give
And i wish i could do
All the things i'd like to do
You know they'll still miss part of you
Yes sir...
And i'm way way over due
I wish i could be like a bird up in the sky
How sweet it would be
If i found out i could fly
So long to my song
And look down upon ihe sea
And i sing because i know
I would see you
I sing because i know
I would see you
And i sing because i know
I would see you
To be free yea

30. _ Alfie The Christmas Tree
This song was first released on the a christmas together album. it is the only album it has been released on. it is a poem.
Did you ever hear the story of the christmas tree
Who just didn't want to change the show
He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels
He liked icycles and snow
He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears
And critters and creatures that crawled
Why bugs were some of his very best friends
Spiders and ants and all
Now that's not to say that he ever looked down
On a vision of twinkled lights
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes
And a thousand other delights
And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer
And a jolly old man in a sleigh
Full of toys and presents and wonderful things
And a story of christmas day
Oh, alfie believed in christmas alright
He was full of christmas cheer
All of each and every day
And all throughout the year
To him it was more than a special time
Much more than a special day
It was more than a special story, it was more than a beautiful story
It was a special kind of way
You see some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
And they've never heard of santa claus
They've never heard the story of the son of god
That made alfie pause
Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth
Or the brotherhood of man
Or know how to love, or know how to give
If they can't no one can
You see, life is a very special kind of thing
Not just for a chosen few
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just me and you
So when you're at christmas prayers this year
Alfie asked me if i'd ask you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
And those who live there too
