D C G D To believe in this livin' just a hard way to go

1.D G D G I am an old man named after my father

D G A DNow lady is another child who's grown old

D G D GIf dreams were thunder and lightening was desire

D G A DThis old house would have burned down a long time ago

When I was a young man now I was a cowboyI weren't much to look at but a free ramblin' manBut that was a long time and no matter how much I tryThose years just flow by like a broken down dam.

Ballad of Jed Clampett

G Am D

Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed

G

Poor mountaineer or barely kept his family fed

C C#

Then one day he was shooting at some food

D G

And up from the ground came a bubbling crude

Oil, that is, black gold, Texas tea

Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire

Kin folk said "Jed, move away from there".

Said "California is the place you ought to be".

So he loaded up the truck and he moved to Beverly

Hills, that is, swimming pools, movie stars

Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin

They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in

You're all invited back again to this locality

To have a heaping helping of their hospitality

Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now nice folks.

G C D G

K E double L oh double Good, Kellogg’s best to you

Ya'll come back now, ya hear!

Battle Of New OrleansJimmy Driftwood G CWell, in 18 and 14, we took a little tripD GAlong with Colonel Jackson down the mightyMissisipG CWe took a little bacon and we took a little beans D GAnd we met the bloody British in the town ofNew Orleans

GWe fired our guns and the British kept a comin' D GThere wasn't nigh as many as there was awhileagoGWe fired once more and they began a running D GDown the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

CWell, I seed Marse Jackson come a-walkin'down the street GAnd a-talkin' to a pirate by the name of JeanLafitte; CHe gave Jean a drink that he brung fromTennessee, GAnd the pirate said he'd help us drive the Britishto the sea.

CWell the French told An-drew, "You had betterrun D GFor Packenham's a-comin' with a bullet in hisgun." COld Hick-or-y said he didn't give a damnHe's a-gonna whup the britches off of ColonelPackenham.

Well, we looked down the river and we seed theBritish comeAnd there must have been a hundred of thembeating on the drumThey stepped so high and they made theirbugles ringWhile we stood behind our cotton bales anddidn't say a thing

Old Hick-o-ry said we could take em by surpriseIf we didn't fire a musket till we looked em in theeyesWe held our fire till we seed their face wellThen we opened up our squirrel guns and reallygave em well..

Well they ran through the briars and they ranthrough the bramblesAnd they ran through the bushes where a rabbitcouldn't goThey ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch emDown the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Well we fired our cannons till the barrels melteddownSo we grabbed an alligator and we fought anotherround CWe filled his head with minie balls and powderedhis behindAnd when we touched the powder off, the 'gator losthis mind

They lost their pants and their pretty shiny coatsAnd their tails was all a-showin' like a bunch of billygoats.They ran down the river with their tonguesa-hanging outAnd they said they got a lickin', which there wasn'tany doubt.

Well we marched back to town in our dirty raggedpantsAnd we danced all night with the pretty girls fromFrance;We couldn't understand 'em, but they had thesweetest charmsAnd we understood 'em better when we got 'em inour arms.

CWell, the guide who brung the British from the seaCome a-limping into camp just as sick as he couldbe,He said the dying words of Colonel PackenhamWas, "You better quit your foolin' with your cousinUncle Sam."

Well, we'll march back home, but we'll never becontentTill we make Old Hick'ry the people's president.And every time we think about the bacon and thebeansWe'll think about the fun we had way down in NewOrleans.

Big Rock Candy Mountain

G

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burningDown the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I'm not turning

C G C G C G DI'm headin’ for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains

G C G C G D GSo come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy MountainsG C GIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright

C G A DWhere the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night

G C GWhere the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day

C G C GOn the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees

C G C GWhere the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings

D GIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legsAnd the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggsThe farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hayOh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snowWhere the rain don't fall and the wind don't blowIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socksAnd the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocksThe brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blindThere's a lake of stew and of whiskey tooYou can paddle all around 'em in a big canoeIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tinAnd you can walk right out again as soon as you are inThere ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picksI'm a goin to stay where you sleep all dayWhere they hung the jerk that invented workIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains

I'll see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Bile Them Cabbage Down

G CWent up on the mountainG DJust to give my horn a blowG CThought I heard my true love sayG D GYonder comes my beau

Refrain (between each verse) Bile them Cabbage down Turn them hot cakes round The only song that I can sing Is bile them cabbage down

2.Took my gal to the blacksmith shopTo have her mouth made smallShe turned around a time or twoAnd swallowed shop and all

Possum in a Simmon treeRaccoon on the groundRaccoon says you son-of-a-gunShake some Simmon's down

Someone stole my old 'coon dogWish they'd bring him backHe chased the big hogs through the fenceAnd the little ones through the crack

Met a possum in the roadBlind as he could beJumped the fence and whipped my dogAnd bristled up at me

Once I had an old gray muleHis name was Simon SlickHe'd roll his eyes and back his earsAnd how that mule would kick

How that mule would kickHe kicked with his dying breathHe shoved his hind feet down his throatAnd kicked himself to death Melody starts on B

3. How many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea Yes and how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free Yes and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see The answer my friend is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind

Oh My thoughts wander back to that ramshackle shack And those blue ridge hills far awayMy mother and father are laid there to restThey are sleeping in peace together there.

I'll return to that old cabin door with a sighI'm longing for days gone byWhen I die won't you bury me on that old mountain sideMake my resting place upon a hill so high

Broken vows and shattered dreams mean little dear to youCause once you said you love me and now vou say were thruAll is fair in love and war I guess you showed me soCause in this crazy game of love you hit a all time low

I have only pity for this evil life you chooseThis fun filled game playing where everyone must loseWell let me tell you something one day you won't forgetAdd me to your collection and you'll wish we never met

City of New Orleans

(As performed by Arlo Guthrie)(Who wrote it?) steve goodman

Into:| G / / / | G / / / |

G D G Riding on the City of New Orleans Em C G Illinois Central Monday morning rail G D G Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders Em D GThree conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail. Em All along the south bound odyssey, Bm the train pulls out of Kenkakee D A Rolls along past houses farms and fields Em Passing trains that have no name,Bm freight yards of old black men D D7 GAnd graveyards of rusted automobiles.

Chorus:|C D7 G Good morning America, how are you? Em C G D7D9 Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son. G D Em A7 I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans Bb C D D9 GI'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

G D G Dealing card games with the old men in the club car Em C GPenny a point ain't no one keeping scoreG D G Pass the paper bag but hold the bottle Em D GFeel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor Em And the sons of Pullman porters Bmand the sons of engineers D A Ride their father's magic carpets made of steelEm Mother with her babes asleep Bmrocking to the gentle beat D D7 G And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

Chorus. (As above)

Nightime on the City of New OrleansChanging cars in Memphis TennesseeHalf way home we'll be there by morningthrough the Mississippi darkness rolling down to thesea. But all the towns and people seem to fade into a dark dream And the steel rail still ain't heard the news The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain This train got the disappearing railroad blues.

Chorus:Good night America, How are you?Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.I'm the train they call the City of New OrleansI'll be gone five hundred miles when the day isdone.

Clementine(Waltz Time) G In a cavern in a canyon D Excavating for a mine G Dwelt a miner forty-niner D G And his daughter Clementine

Chorus Oh my darling oh my darling Oh my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry Clementine

2. Light she was and like a fairy And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes without topses Sandals were for Clementine

3. Drove she ducklings to the water Every morning just at nine Struck her foot against a splinter Fell into a foaming brine

4. Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles mighty fine But alas! I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine

5. How I missed her how I missed her How I missed my Clementine But I kissed her little sister And forgot my Clementine

Folsom Prison Blues

by Johnny Cash

E1. I hear the train a comin' it's rollin' 'round the bend E7 And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when A E I'm stuck at Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' on B7 E But that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antoine

2. When I was just a baby my mama told me son Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blow I hang my head and cry

3. I bet there's rich folks eatin' from a fancy dinning car They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars Well I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me

4. Well if they freed me from this prison if this railroad train was mine I bet I'd movin' over a little farther down the line Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

Grain for grain, sun and rain,Find my way in Nature's chain,Tune my body and my brainTo the music from the land.

Ghost Riders In the SkyARTIST: Stan Jones Am CAn old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy dayAm CUpon a ridge he rested as he went along his wayAmWhen all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he sawF AmPlowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire, and their hooves were made of steelTheir horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feelA bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the skyFor he saw the riders comin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry C Am F Dm AmYipie i-oh, yipie i-ay! Ghost herd in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweatThey're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet''Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the skyOn horses snorting fire, as they ride on, hear their cry Yipie i-oh, yipie i-ay! Ghost riders in the sky

As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name"If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our rangeThen cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will rideTryin' to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies"

Just sit right back and you'll hear a taleA tale of a fateful tripThat started from this tropic portAboard this tiny ship

The Mate was a mighty sailor manThe Skipper brave and sureFive passengers set sail that dayFor a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour

The weather started getting roughThe tiny ship was tossedIf not for the courage of the fearless crewThe Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost

The ship's aground on the shore of thisUncharted desert isleWith Gilligan, the Skipper tooA millionaire, and his wifeA movie starThe Professor and Mary AnnHere on Gilligan's Isle

So this is the tale of our castawaysThey're here for a long, long timeThey'll have to make the best of thingsIt's an uphill climb

/ [Back to C#m] /

The First Mate and his Skipper, tooWill do their very bestTo make the others comfortableIn their tropic island nest

No phones, no lights, no motor carsNot a single luxuryLike Robinson Ca-rusoeIt's primitive as can be

So join us here each week, my friendsYou're sure to get a smileFrom seven stranded castawaysHere on Gilligan's Isle.

G F GEvery time around about this year it all goes dryG F GNothing round for love nor money, barely get you high.C GHenry got pissed off and said he’d run to Mexico F GSee if he could come back home with 20 Keys of Gold

Now the Road to Acapulco is very long indeedAnd it isn’t any better, if you haven’t any weedHenry’s drivin’ straight and true on twisty mountain roads50 people waitin’ back at home for Henry’s load

D And now he’s driving down the mountain C GGoing fast fast fast D And if he blow’s it C GThis one’s gonna be his last C GWent to Acapulco turn the gold to keysG F GHenry kick your brakes on for this corner if you please

Henry got to Mexico and turned his truck aroundHe’s talking with the man who’s got it growing in the groundHenry tasted, he got wasted, couldn’t even seeHow he’s gonna drive like that is not too clear to me...

Sunday afternoon, Tijuana is a lovely townThe Bullfights bring the tourists and their money flowing down.Border Guards are much too busy there at 5 O’clockHenry’s driving right on thru, he barely even stops.

Little Brown Jug

G C My wife and I live all alone D GIn a little log hut we call our own; CShe loves gin and I love rum, D GAnd I tell you we have lots of fun!

Chorus

G CHa, ha, ha, you and me,D GLittle brown jug, don't I love thee! CHa, ha, ha, you and me,D GLittle brown jug, don't I love thee!

When I go toiling on my farmI take little brown jug under my arm;Place himi under a shady tree,Little brown jug,'tis you and me.

'Tis you that makes my friends and foes,'Tis you that makes me wear old clothes;But here you are so near my nose,Tip her up and down she goes.

If I'd a cow that gave such milk,I'd dress her in the finest silk;I’d feed her oats, I’d feed her hay,And milk her twenty five times a day.

The rose is red, my nose is too,The violet's blue and so are you;And yet, I guess, before I stop,We'd better take another drop.

And when I die don't bury me at all,Just pickle my bones in alcohol;Put a bottle o' booze at my head and feet

And then I know that I will keep.

I bought a cow from Farmer Jones,And she was nothing but skin and bones;I fed her up as fine as silk,She jumped the fence and strained her milk.

If all the folks in Adam's raceWere gathered together in one place,I'd let them go without a tearBefore I'd part from you, my dear.

Website warning (from the US Government,believe it or not!)

Important! This is a fun song to sing, but themessage is about a man and his wife who hada lot of hard times because of alcoholaddictions.

Come and sit by my side, if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red river valley And the cowboy who loved you so true

This Land Is Your Landby Woodie Guthrie

Chorus 2.

I roamed and rambled, and followed my footstepsTo the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,And all around me a voice kept saying,"This land was made for you and me."

Chorus

3.As the Sun was shining, and I was strollingAnd the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,As the fog was lifting, a voice was chantingThis land was made for you and me.

Chorus

4.As I went walking, I saw a sign thereOn that sign it said, “Private Property.”But on the other side, it didn’t say nothin’That side was made for you and me.

Chorus:

Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roarAs she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shoreHear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hobo's callWhile traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

Well the eastern states are dandy, so the western people sayFrom New York to St. Louis, and Chicago by the way,From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fallNo chances can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball

Let It Snow!!Sammy Cahn, J. Styne (1945)

F C7 F

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,

F Abdim C7

But the fire is so dee--lightful

Gm D7 Gm

And since we’ve no place to go,

C7 F

Let it snow,Let it snow,,Let it snow.

F C7 F

It doesn’t show signs of stopping

F Abdim C7

And I brought some corn for popping

Gm D7 Gm

The lights are turned way down low

C7 F

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow.

C

When we finally kiss goodnight

Dm G7 C

How I’ll hate going out in the storm

But if you really hold me tight,

D7 G7 C7

All the way home I’ll be warm.

F C7 F

The fire is slowly dying,

F Abdim C7

And, my dear, we’re still good-bye-ing

Gm D7 Gm

But as long as you love me so

C7 F

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow.

Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer

G

Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer

D7

Had a very shiney nose,

And if you ever saw it,

G

You would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer

D7

Used to laugh and call him names,

They never let poor Rudolf

G G7

Join in any reindeer games.

C G

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,

Am D7 G

Santa came to say,

D

“Rudolf with your nose so bright,

A7 D7

Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

G

Then how the reindeer loved him,

D

As they shouted out with glee,

“Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer,

G

You’ll go down in history!”
