| PARTING GLASS
Oh all the money e’er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm I’ve ever done alas it was to none but me And all I’ve done for want of wit to memory now I can’t recall So fill to me the parting glass goodnight and joy be with you all Oh all the comrades e’er I had they’re sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts e’er I had they’d wished me one more day to stay But since it falls upon my lot that I should rise and you should not I gently rise and softly call goodnight and joy be with you all If I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile There is a fair maid in this town that sorely has my heart beguiled Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips I own she has my heart in thrall Then fill to me the parting glass goodnight and joy be with you all PEACEFUL EASY FEELING I like the way your sparkling earrings lay Against your skin so brown And I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight With a billion stars all around 'Cause I've got a peaceful easy feeling And I know you won't let me down 'Cause I'm already standing On the ground And I found out a long time ago What a woman can do to your soul Ah but she can't take you anyway You don't already know how to go And I've got a peaceful easy feeling And I know you won't let me down 'Cause I'm already standing On the ground I get this feeling I may know you As a lover and a friend This voice keeps whispering in my other ear Tells me I may never see you again 'Cause I get a peaceful easy feeling And I know you won't let me down 'Cause I'm already standing I'm already standing yes I'm already standing On the ground
And brought home a nice take away My wife left the following morning ‘Cause my pembantu had something to say So I brought a girl home the next weekend I was meaning to sport and to play When I searched high and low for my condoms My pembantu had thrown them away So I had her that night without condoms And then looked for my wallet to pay My pembantu had been through my pockets And taken my money away But now I’m a man without problems My pembantu has left me today ‘Cause I caught her using my condoms So then I had something to say So if you want to avoid having problems And go out on the town and have fun Before you employ a pembantu Make sure that she’s blind, deaf and dumb PENNY LANE Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs Of every head he's had the pleasure to have known And all the people that come and go Stop and say hello On the corner is a banker with a motor car The little children laugh at him behind his back And the banker never wears a Mac In the pouring rain, very strange Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit and meanwhile back
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen He likes to keep his fire engine clean It's a clean machine Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes Full of fish and finger pies in summer meanwhile back Behind the shelter in the middle of the round about A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray And though she feels as if she's in a play She is anyway In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim And then the fireman rushes in From the pouring rain, very strange Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue suburban skies Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue suburban skies Penny Lane
And the regular crowd shuffles in There’s an old man sitting next to me Making love to his tonic and gin He says son can you play me a memory I’m not really sure how it goes But it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man’s clothes La la la lilly la, la la lilly la la dum Sing us a song you’re the piano man sing us a song tonight For we’re all in the mood for a melody and you’ve got us feeling all right
He gets me my drinks for free And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke But there’s somewhere that he’d rather be He says Bill I believe this is killing me As a smile ran away from his face Well I’m sure that I could be a movie star If I could get out of this place La la la lilly la, la la lilly la la dum Sing us a song you’re the piano man sing us a song tonight For we’re all in the mood for a melody and you’ve got us feeling all right
Who never had time for a wife And he’s talking with Davy who’s still in the navy And probably will be for life And the waitress is practising politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned And they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness But it’s better than drinking alone La la la lilly la, la la lilly la la dum Sing us a song you’re the piano man sing us a song tonight For we’re all in the mood for a melody and you’ve got us feeling all right
And the manager gives me a smile ‘Cause he knows that it’s me that they’re coming to see To forget about life for a while And the piano it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say man what are you doing here La la la lilly la, la la lilly la la dum Sing us a song you’re the piano man sing us a song tonight For we’re all in the mood for a melody and you’ve got us feeling all right
From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all But I ain’t seen nothing like him in any amusement hall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball He stands like a statue becomes part of the machine Feeling all the bumpers always plays it clean Plays by intuition the digit counters fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball He’s a pinball wizard there has to be a twist That pinball wizard’s got such a supple wrist How do you think he does it I don’t know What makes him so good Ain’t got no distractions can’t hear no buzzers and bells Don’t see no lights a flashing plays by sense of smell Always gets a replay never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball I thought I was the bally table king But I’ve just handed my pinball crown to him Even on my favourite table he can beat my best His disciples lead him in and he just does the rest It’s like crazy flipper fingers never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball PITY ME POOR PIG Was ever a pig maligned as this poor sow Harried and hunted down as I am now Condemned to die On the gallows tree so high there I'll hang With the rough rope on my neck like a common man And there I'll jig poor pig Pity me poor pig condemned to die for butchering a beggars baby They'll take me out this cold cold morn and hanged I shall be One morning I saw the wind it drove me wild Then I came across a beggars boy and killed the child All for to feel Some people saw the deed and fell on me To beat and bind me fast unable to flee I'd squeal and whine poor swine Pity me poor pig condemned to die for butchering a beggars baby They'll take me out this cold cold morn and hanged I shall be I was chained for many a day in a prison vile Then grunting dragged from there and brought to trial In deep disgrace With the charge read to my face and evidence And a lawyer came to plead in my defence For this my crime poor swine Pity me poor pig condemned to die for butchering a beggars baby They'll take me out this cold cold morn and hanged I shall be Rough justice soon was served the sentence read To take and hang me high till I was dead As dead as could be 'Twas then they forced on me gentlemen's clothes With the jacket pulled on my back breeches and hose Waistcoat and wig poor pig Pity me poor pig condemned to die for butchering a beggars baby They'll take me out this cold cold morn and hanged I shall be No litter of mine shall come to see the show They're stuck and slaughtered all so long ago Every one When my life is done they'll cut me down My flesh they will divide around the town No grave to dig for poor pig Pity me poor pig condemned to die for butchering a beggars baby They'll take me out this cold cold morn and hanged I shall be PLAISIR D’AMOUR Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment Chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie The joys of love are but a moment long The pains of love endure the whole life long Your eyes kissed mine I saw the love in them shine You brought me heaven right then when your eyes kissed mine Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment Chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie My love loves me and all the wonders I see A rainbow shines in my window my love loves me Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment Chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie And now she’s gone like a dream that fades into dawn But the words stay locked in my heart string my love loves me Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment Chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie The joys of love are but a moment long The pains of love endure the whole life long POOR FELLOWS Oh the times they are hard and the wages are poor None of us poor fellows has money in store So how can a good man keep the wolf from the door Poor fellows you all will go down When the work is scarce tell me how can we eat How can we afford to buy shoes for our feet How can we get clothing to keep off the sleet Poor fellows we might as well drown If we could find work we ne'er would complain We'd work well for a master his favour to gain We'd be honest and truthful with never a stain Poor fellows how will we survive We could plough the good land we could fish the salt sea We could work in the woodland a felling the trees But when only the breath in our bodies is free Poor fellows how can we stay alive Oh a man who is single is free from all care He can soon leave a district if no work be there There's no manner of hardship that he cannot bear Poor fellow if he is alone But a man with a family his hands they are tied He must look to their comfort or lose all his pride He can't wander away but must stay by their side Poor fellow to maintain his home And a man that is willing can't understand why He can find no employment how hard he may try And it breaks his poor heart for to see his wife cry So poor fellow he'll do what he can A man that is desperate and can't find a job He will not be contented to sit down and sob Be he ever so honest he'll turn out and rob Poor fellow to prove he's a man If a good man goes robbing you know it's a shame He brings scorn and misfortune on his honest name But in visible straits tell me who is to blame Poor fellow you know he must try So let's hope these hard times they soon pass away Unto our sweet saviour we earnestly pray That this dark cloudy morn brings a glorious day Poor fellows sometime e'er we die POOR OLD MAN Well they say old man your horse will die And they say so and we hope so They say old man your horse will die Oh poor old man And if he dies we'll tan his hide And they say so and we hope so And if he dies we'll tan his hide Oh poor old man And if he lives then we'll ride again And they say so and we hope so And if he lives then we'll ride again Oh poor old man And it's after years of much abuse And they say so and we hope so And we'll salt him down for the sailors' use Oh poor old man He's as dead as the nail in the lamp room floor And they say so and we hope so And he won't bother us no more Oh poor old man And it's Sally's in the garden and she's picking the peas And they say so and we hope so And her long black hair's hanging down to her knees Oh poor old man And it's Sally's in the kitchen and she's baking the dough And they say so and we hope so And the cheeks of her arse going chub chub chub Oh poor old man And it's down the long and winding road And they say so and we hope so It's mahogany beef and weevily bread Oh poor old man And I thought I heard the old man say And they say so and we hope so Just one more pull and then belay Oh poor old man Just one more pull and that will do And they say so and we hope so For we're the lads to pull her through Oh poor old man POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN I’m Popeye the sailor man I’m Popeye the sailor man I’m strong to the finich ‘Cause I

He was clinking for diversion he was thinking for himself A little money riding on the maple leaves Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves She said let me sit down you know drinking alone’s a shame it’s a shame it’s a cryin’ shame Look at those jokers glued to that damn hockey game Hey honey you’ve got lots of cash Bring us out a bottle we’ll have some laughs Gin’s what I’m drinking I was raised on robbery

With his wife and his daughter of sweet seventeen She was as fair and as buxom a beauty The fairest as ever was seen When over the hill came a randy old parson And though he was married he fancied her still Often he swore with the farmer’s fair daughter That parson he would have his will Well the very next morning as she was out walking To view of the fields and meadows so gay This randy old parson he stepped up to her And these were the words he did say Many’s the time I’ve seen you out walking And you from a distance I’ve often admired Just one fine night for to lie in your arms It’d be all my own heart desires Oh well kind Sir well I’m sure I could please you We’d have to be quick though tomorrow at night My mother and father will both be from home And it’s there you’ll enjoy my delight And so the young maid agreed with the parson And back to her cottage she quickly did run Where she sat down for to think of a plan How she might show the parson some fun Well the very next evening the parson came calling She opened the window to let him come in She took the parson into her bedchamber And then to undress did begin And when he was down to his waistcoat and breeches The maid for her father so loudly did call Father come quick for here is a burglar Come for to murder us all So the farmer flew into the daughter’s bedchamber He took up a stick and he beat him about This randy old parson without any breeches So loudly for mercy did shout The poor old parson escaped through the window And over the hillside he ran for his life He never stopped until he came To the arms of his nagging old wife Now the very next morning they looked in his pockets Found fifty shillings in silver and gold The farmer remarked it’s a fitting reward For a daughter so cunning and bold The poor old parson awoke in the morning Both light in the pocket and sore in the head Then ever after his nagging old wife Made him wish for the day he were dead RED HOUSE There's a red house over yonder That's where my baby stays There's a red house over yonder That's where my baby stays I haven't been home to see my fuzzy headed baby Not in ninety nine and one half days Wait a minute something's wrong My key won't unlock this door Wait a minute something's wrong My key won't unlock this door I've got a bad bad feeling My baby don't live here any more Well I'll go back over yonder Way back yonder cross the hill Well I'll go back over yonder Way back yonder cross the hill Sad that my baby don't love me no more But I know good and well that her sister will RED RED WINE Red red wine goes to my head Makes me forget that I Still need her so
All I can do I’ve done, Memories won’t go, Memories won’t go I have sworn that with time Thoughts of you will leave my head I was wrong now I find Just one thing makes me forget Red red wine stay close to me Don’t let me be alone This day we will find My blue blue mind I have sworn that with time Thoughts of you will leave my head I was wrong now I find Just one thing makes me forget Red red wine stay close to me Don’t let me be alone This day we will find My blue blue mind Red red wine stay close to me Don’t let me be alone this day we will find My blue blue mind
