True Blue - Rev Hammer Site - Lyrics

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.

Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.

Chorus:
All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.

Chorus

She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.

Almost Every Circumstance
(Colum Sands)
(Live)

The first time that I met my love was on a Monday morning
And the second time I met my love was a Tuesday afternoon.
I kissed her on a Wednesday and I couldn't wait till Thursday
But I can tell you now, my boys, that Thursday never came.

Chorus:
For seven days are in a week in almost every circumstance
Four seasons tell a year, that's what we learned at school.
But you never count your chickens when you're dealing with a pretty maid
For many a wise man went to sleep to wakin' up a fool.

My love, she take the winter time and turn it into spring time.
My love, she take the barren land and bring it into bloom.
I waited through the spring time just to take a walk in summer time
But I can tell you now, my boys, that summer never came.

Chorus

And the Healing Has Begun
(Van Morrison)
(Drunk in Public)
(Tabs)

And we'll walk down the avenue again
And we'll sing all the songs from way back when
And we'll walk down the avenue again and the healing has begun

And we'll walk down the avenue in style
And we'll walk down the avenue and we'll smile
And we'll say baby ain't it all worthwhile when the healing has begun

I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes when the healing has begun

When you hear the music ringin' in your soul
And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows
And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has begun

I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes and the healing has begun

We're gonna make music underneath the stars
We're gonna play to the violin and the two guitars
We're gonna sit there and play for hours and hours when the healing has begun

(Spoken:)Wait a minute, listen, listen,
I didn't know you stayed up so late.
I just got home from a gig and I saw
you standing on the street.
Just let me move on up to this window-sill a lot yeah, I got some sherry.
You want a drop of port.
Let's move behind this door here.
Let's move on up behind this letter-box behind this door.
Let's go in your front room,
let's play this Muddy Waters record you got there,
if you just open up a little bit
and let me ease on in this backstreet jellyroll....

We're gonna stay out all night long
And then we're gonna go out and roam across the field
Baby you know how I feel when the healing has begun

When the healing, when the healing
We're gonna stay out all night long
We're gonna dance to the rock & roll
When the healing when the healing has begun
Baby just let me ease on a little bit, dig this backstreet jellyroll

The Auld Triangle
(Brendan Behan)
(Live with the Oysterband)

A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing
And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Oh to start the morning, the warden bawling
Get up out of bed you, and clean out your cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Oh the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dying
As the lag lay crying in his prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

In the female prison there are seventy women
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Blind Willie McTell
(Bob Dylan)
(Live)

Seen the arrow on the doorpost
Saying, This land is condemned
All the way from New Orleans To Jerusalem.
I traveled through East Texas
Where many martyrs fell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

Well, I heard the hoot owl singing
As they were taking down the tents
The stars above the barren trees
Were his only audience
Them charcoal gypsy maidens
Can strut their feathers well
But nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

See them big plantations burning
Hear the cracking of the whips
Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
see the ghosts of slavery ships
I can hear them tribes a-moaning
hear the undertakers bell
Yeah, nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

There's a woman by the river
With some fine young handsome man
He's dressed up like a squire
Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
There's a chain gang on the highway
I can hear them rebels yell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

Well, God is in heaven
And we all want what's his
But power and greed and corruptible seed
Seem to be all that there is
I'm gazing out the window
Of the St. James Hotel
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

Carrickfergus
(Traditional)
(Live)

I wished I had you in Carrickfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygrand,
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
The deepest ocean to be by your side.

But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
And neither have I wings to fly.
I wish I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die.

My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy days spent so long ago.
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on like the melting snow.

So I'll spend my days in endless roving,
Soft is the grass and my bed is free.
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus
On the long road down to the salty sea.

And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stone there as black as ink,
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more till I get a drink.

I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober,
A handsome rover from town to town.
Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered
So come all ye young men and lay me down.

Coz I Love You
(Slade)
(Live with The Fabbies)

I won't laugh at you when you boo-hoo-hoo
Coz I love you
I can turn my back on the things you lack
Coz I love you

Chorus:
I just like the things you do
Don't you change the things you do

You get me in a spot and smile the smile you got
And I love you
You make me out a clown then you put me down
I still love you

Chorus

When you bite your lip you're gonna flip your flip
But I love you
When we're miles apart you still reach my heart
How I love you

Chorus

Only time can tell if we get on well
Coz I love you
All that's passed us by we can only sigh hi-hi
Coz I Love you

Chorus

Davni Chasy (Those Were The Days)
(Russian traditional; English lyrics by Gene Raskin)
(Drink to My Horse!)

Once upon a time there was a tavern,
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
And dreamed of all the great things we would do.

Chorus:
Those were the days my friend,
We'd thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance for-ever and a day,
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For we were young and sure to have our way.
Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

Then the busy years went rushing by us.
We lost our starry notions on the way.
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say:

Chorus

Just tonight I stood before the tavern,
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
Was that lonely person really me.

Chorus

Through the door there came familiar laughter.
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Chorus

Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog
(Johnny Cash)
(Live)

Well he's not very handsome to look at
Oh he's shaggy and he eats like a hog
And he's always killing my chickens
That dirty old egg sucking dog

Egg sucking dog
I'm gonna stomp your head in the ground
If you don't stay out of my hen house
You dirty old egg sucking hound

Now if he don't stop eating my eggs up
Though I'm not a real bad guy
I'm gonna get my rifle and send him
To that great chicken house in the sky

Egg sucking dog
You're always hanging around
But you'd better stay out of my hen house
You dirty old egg sucking hound

Downpressor Man
(Peter Tosh)
(Red Sky Coven Volumes 1 & 2)

Chorus:
Downpressor man, where're you gonna run to (3x)
All along that day.

You 're gonna run to the rocks, but the rocks will be melting (3x)
All along that day.

You're gonna run to the sea, but the sea will be boiling (3x)
All along that day.

Chorus

I would like to be no flea somewhere under your collar (3x)
All along that day.

You're gonna drink a big champaign, laugh hahahah (3x)
All along that day

Chorus

You're gonna run to the law, but the law will not hide you (3x)
All along that day.

You're gonna run a million miles, downpressor man (3x)
All along that day.

Chorus

Girls Girls Girls
(Sailor)
(Live with The Fabbies)

Girls girls girls
Girls girls girls
Girls girls girls

Yellow, red, black or white
Add a little bit of moonlight
For this intercontinental romance
Shy girl, sexy girl
They all like that fancy world
Champagne, a gentle song and a slow dance
Who makes it fun to spend your money
Who calls you honey
Most every day

Girls girls girls

Well they made them up in Hollyood
And put them into the movie
Those lovely photographic splendours
In and out of magazines
Miss World and beauty queens
Falling in love with the real big spenders
But although their world may be frantic
They're still romantic
In their own way.

Girls girls girls

So hop on
The world is swinging
Don't sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls

Step on
The world keeps swinging
Put on the dazzling charm
Get up and find those pretty girls
But don't rush
Keep it nice and gentle
And sentimental
For that certain moment

Moonlit oceans
Girls full of emotions
Stepping on that slow boat to China
And next door in Japan
They know how to please a man
Dropping in for tea with my geisha
They've got that old-fashioned feeling
When it comes to pleasing
They know their way

So hop on
The world is swinging
When you draw back the curtain
Hop on
The world is swinging
Don't sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls

Goldwatch Blues
(Mick Softley)
(Live)

I went out for my interview the fourth day in July.
The personnel man questioned me till I nearly cried.
He made me fill in forms till I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer.

And he asked me how many jobs I had before
And he nearly had a heart attack when I answered "Four".
"Four jobs in twenty years, oh no! This could never be!
For we only take a man who will work until he dies."

Chorus:
Here's your goldwatch and shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper saying you left here sane.
And if you've got a son and he wants a good career
You get him to sign on a dotted line and work for fifty years.

He took me outside where the gravestones stand in line.
"This is where we bury them in brick stone and in lime.
And if you're gonna work for us, with this you must agree
And if you're gonna die, please do it during tea."

Chorus

The story I am telling you may think rather queer
But it is the truth, you may be surprised to hear.
For I did not want no job upon the board
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor!

Chorus

Heartbreak Hotel
(Elvis Presley)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)

Now since my baby left me I've found a new place to dwell
Down at the end of Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
I'm so lonely that I could die

And though it's always crowded you can still find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry there in the gloom
And be so lonely, oh so lonely
Oh so lonely they could die

The bell hop's tears keep flowing, the desk clerk's dressed in black
They been so long on Lonely Street they never will go back
And they're so lonely, oh they're so lonely
They're so lonely they pray to die

So if your baby leaves and you have a tale to tell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel
Where you'll be lonely and I'll be lonely
We'll be so lonely that we could die

Hit the Road, Jack
(Percy Mayfield)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)

Chorus:
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Woo! Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Chorus

Now baby, listen baby, don't-a treat me this-a way
For I'll be back on my feet some day.

Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood
you ain't got no money you just ain't no good.
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Chorus

Hobo
(Bob Dylan)
(Disagreement of the People; Levellers: Zeitgeist Out-Takes)
(Tabs)

As I was out walking on a corner one day,
I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay.
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor
And I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more.

Chorus:
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is gone

A blanket of newspaper covered his head,
As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed.
One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come
And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed.

Chorus

Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down,
To look up on the world from a hole in the ground,
To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame,
To lie in the gutter and die with no name?

Chorus

How Will I Ever Be Simple Again?
(Richard Thompson)
(Live)

Well, she danced in the street with her guns all around her,
Torn like a rag doll, barefoot in the rain
And she sang like a child too-ra day too-ra da
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?

Well, she stopped by the banks of the dirty great river
And she tried for a fish with a worm on a pin
But there was nothing but fever and ghosts in the water
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?

War was my love and my own true companion
Oh, what care I for the pretty and plain?
For her smile was so clear and my heart was so troubled
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?

Now in her old burned-out hut I sat at her table
The smell of her hair was like cornfields in May
And I wanted to weep but my eyes ached from trying
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?

Oh, so graceful she moved through the dust and the ruin
And happless she was in her dances and games
Oh won't me teach me to see with your own innocent eyes, love
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?

I Just Can't Leave Your Love Alone
(Joe Sample and Will Jennings)
(The Fabbies: Let's Hear it For the Little Fella)

You let me down all over town
I guess by now I should be gone
Yet, here I stand still in your hands
Cause you're the best I've ever known

Chorus:
I try and try to say good bye
I just can't leave your love alone
And after you what will I do
I just can't leave your love alone

I walk away most every day
Don't need a love that huts me so
Then every night you get it right
Until I'm moaning soft and low

Chorus

Jolene
(Dolly Parton)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)

Chorus:
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Chorus

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Chorus:
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

Louie Louie
(The Kingsmen)
(Red Sky Coven Volume 5)

Chorus:
Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go

A fine little girl, she waits for me
Me catch a ship for cross the sea
Me sail that ship all alone
Me never think how I make it home

Chorus

Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of that girl constantly
On that ship I dream she there
I smell the roses in her hair

Chorus

Me see Jamaica, moon above
It won't be long till I see my love
I take her in my arms again
I tell her, I'll never leave again

Chorus

Maybe This Time
(Liza Minelli)
(Live with The Fabbies)

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won't hurry away

He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before

Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me;
'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,'
That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win

Minnie the Moocher
(Cab Calloway)
(Red Sky Coven Volume 3)

Folks, now here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,
She was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher,
She was the roughest, toughest frail,
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

Chorus:
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!
He-de-he-de-he-de-he!
Ho-de-ho-de-ho!

She messed around with a bloke named Smoky,
She loved him though he was cokie,
He took her down to Chinatown,
And he showed her how to kick the gong around.

Chorus

She had a dream about the king of Sweden,
He gave her things that she was needin',
He gave her a home built of gold and steel,
A diamond car with a platinum wheel.

Chorus

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses;
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,
She sat around and counted them all a million times.

Musical Folk Group
(Johnny Cash (original title: The One on the Right is on the Left))
(Too Drunk in Public)
(Tabs)

There once was a musical folk group, a picking, singing folk group
They sang mountain ballads and the folk songs of our land
They were long on musical ability, folks thought they would go far
But political incompatability led to their downfall

Chorus:
Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear, he was the drummer

This musical aggregation toured the entire nation
Singing traditional ballads and the folk songs of our land
They perfomed with great virtuosity and soon they were all the rage
But political animosity prevailed upon the stage

Chorus:
Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear, he just kept drumming

Well, the curtain had ascended, a hush fell upon the crowd
As thousands there were gathered to hear the folk songs of our land
But they took their politics seriously, and that night at the concert hall
As the audience watched deliriously they had a free for all

Chorus:
And the one on the right was on the bottom
And the one in the middle was on the top
And the one on the left got a broken arm
And the guy in the rear, said "Oh dear, I must be the drummer"

Now this should be a lesson, if you plan to start a folk group
Don't be mixing politics with the folk songs of our land
Work on harmony, diction, and play your banjo well
And if you have political convictions keep them to yourselves

Chorus:
Well the one on the right, well he works in a bank
And the one in the middle, well he drives a truck
And the guy on the left, he's an all-night DJ
And the one in the rear ....

Well the one on the right, well he works in a bank
And the one in the middle, well he rides a truck
And the one on the left is an all-night DJ
And the guy in the rear, oh yeah, he's still drumming

The Old Laughing Lady
(Neil Young)
(Live)

Don't call pretty Peggy
She can't hear you no more
Don't leave no message
'round her back door.

They say the old laughing lady
Been here before
She don't keep time
She don't count score.

You can't have a cupboard
If there ain't no wall.
You got to move
There's no time left to stall.

They say the old laughing lady
Dropped by to call
And when she leaves
She leaves nothing at all.

See the drunkard of the village
Falling on the street.
Can't tell his ankles
From the rest of his feet.

He loves his old laughing lady
'cause her taste is so sweet.
But his laughing lady's loving
Ain't the kind he can keep.

There's a fever on the freeway
Blacks out the night.
There's a slipping on the stairway
Just don't feel right

And there's a rumbling in the bedroom
And a flashing of light
There's the old laughing lady
Everything is all right.

Purple Haze
(Jimmi Hendrix)
(Live with The Fabbies)

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me help me
Oh no no... no

Yeah
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowin, blowin my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

No, help me aw yeah! oh no no oh help me...

Raglan Road
(Patrick Kavanagh/Traditional)
(Live)

On Raglan Road on an Autumn day,
I saw her first and I knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare
That I may one day rue.
I saw the danger, yet I walked
Along the enchanted way
And I said let grief be a falling leaf
At the dawning of the day.

On Grafton Street in November,
We tripped lightly along the ledge
Of a deep ravine where can be seen
The world of passions pledge.
The Queen of Heart's still baking tarts
And I not making hay,
Well I loved too much by such and such
Is happiness thrown away.

I gave her the gifts of the mind.
I gave her the secret sign
That's known to all the artists
Who have known true Gods of Sound and Time.
With word and tint I did not stint.
I gave her reems of poems to say
With her own name there and her shiny dark hair
Like the clouds over fields of May.

On a quiet street where old ghosts meet
I see her walking now
Away from me so hurriedly
My reason must allow.
For I have loved not as I should
A creature made of clay.
When the angel woos, the clay heel lose
His wings at the dawn of the day.

Rockin' in the Free World
(Neil Young)
(Live)

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' in their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
There's a warning sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
We'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan
But I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can

Chorus:
Keep on rockin' in the free world

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away
And she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life
And what she's done with it

There's one more kid
That will never go to school
Never get to fall in love
Never get to be cool

Chorus

We got a thousand points of lights
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand
We got department stores
And toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people
Says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn
Got roads to drive

Chorus

Santa Baby
(Eartha Kitt)
(Live with The Fabbies)

Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree, For me.
been an awful good girl, Santa baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa baby, a 54 convertible too,
Light blue.
I'll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed,
Next year I could be just as good,
If you'll check off my Christmas list,

Santa baby, I wanna yacht,
And really that's not a lot,
Been an angel all year,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa honey, there's one thing I really do need,
The deed
To a platinum mine,
Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex,
And checks.
Sign your 'X' on the line,
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight.

Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's,
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me,

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring.
I don't mean on the phone,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry, tonight.

Stand by Me
(Ben E. King)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)

When the night has come
and the land is dark
and the moon is the only light we'll see
Oh, I won't be afraid,
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me

Chorus:
So, darling, darling,
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble into the sea
Oh, I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me

Chorus

The Star of the County Down
(Traditional)
(Live)

Near to Banbridge Town, in the County Down
One morning in July,
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen,
And she smiled as she passed me by;
Oh, she looked so neat from her two white feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair,
Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there

Chorus:
Oh, from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,
And from Galway to Dublin town,
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down.

As she onward sped I shook my head
And I gazed with a feeling quare,
And I said, says I, to a passer-by,
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
Oh, he smiled at me, and with pride says he,
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown,
She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
She's the Star of the County Down."

Chorus

I've travelled a bit, but never was hit
Since my roving career began;
But fair and square I surrendered there
To the charms of young Rose McCann.
I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet
Did I meet with in shawl or gown,
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the Star of the County Down.

Chorus

At the crossroads fair I'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
And I'll try sheep's eyes, and deludering lies
On the heart of the nut-brown Rose.
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Though with rust my plow turns brown,
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the Star of the County Down.

Chorus

Such a Night
(Mac Rebennac)
(The Fabbies: Let's Hear it For the Little Fella)

Such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
Such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right

Your eyes caught mine and at a glance
You let me know that this was my chance
But you came here with my best friend, Jim
And here I am, tryin' to steal you away from him

Chorus:
Oh, but if I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will

It is such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
It's such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right

Yeah, I couldn't believe my ears and my heart just skipped a beat
When you asked me to take you walkin' down the street
Oh yeah, you came here with my best friend, Jim
Here I am, I'm stealin' you away from him

Chorus

Tecumseh Valley
(Townes Van Zandt)
(Red Sky Coven Volume 5)

The name she gave was Caroline
Daughter of a miner
Her ways were free
It seemed to me
That sunshine walked beside her

She came from Spencer
Across the hill
She said her Pa had sent her
Cause the coal was low
And soon the snow
Would turn the skies to winter

She said she'd come
To look for work
She was not seeking favors
And for a dime a day
And a place to stay
She'd turn those hands to labor

But the times were hard, lord,
The jobs were few
All through Tecumseh Valley
But she asked around
And a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sallys

She saved enough to get back home
When spring replaced the winter
But her dreams were denied
Her Pa had died
The word come down from Spencer

So she turned to whorin' out on the streets
With all the lust inside her
And it was many a man
Returned again
To lay himself beside her

They found her down beneath the stairs
That led to Gypsy Sallys
In her hand when she died
Was a note that cried
Fare thee well... Tecumseh Valley

The name she gave was Caroline
Daughter of a miner
Her ways were free
It seemed to me
That sunshine walked beside her

Teenagers
(My Chemical Romance)
(Live with The Fabbies)

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

Chorus:
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

Chorus

All together now!

Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

That's the Way (I Like It)
(K.C. and the Sunshine Band)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)

Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu

Chorus:
Oh that’s the way aha aha I like it aha aha
That’s the way aha aha I like it aha aha

Will you take me - by the hand
Tell me I’m your lovin’ man

And do it babe - do the best you can

Chorus

When I get to be in your arms
When we’re all - all alone
When you whisper sweet in my ear
When you turn - turn me on

Chorus

Babe, oh babe (that’s the way aha, that’s the way aha...)

Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu aha

Love is hot yeah, oh I can’t get enough
Oh when you don’t stop me...

Umbrella
(Rihanna)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)

You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star

Baby 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because

Chorus:
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end

Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh, eh eh eh)

These fancy things will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because

Chorus

You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love

So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because

Chorus

It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
Baby come here to me
Come here to me

It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
You can always come here to me
Come here to me

It's pouring rain
It's pouring rain
Come here to me
Come here to me

We are the Champions
(Queen)
(Live with The Fabbies)

I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through

Chorus
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it -
I thank you all -

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -

Chorus

Werewolves of London
(Warren Zevon)
(Live with his band and Red Sky Coven)

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein
Werewolves of London

If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Werewolves of London

He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Werewolves of London

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Werewolves of London
Draw blood

What a Wonderful World
(Louis Armstrong)
(Red Sky Coven Volumes 1 & 2)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Whiskey in the Jar
(Traditional)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)

As I was going over the far famed Kerry Mountains
I spied Captain Farrel and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and then I produced my rapier
Saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver

Chorus:
Musha ring durram do durram dah
Whack for di daddio
Whack for di daddio
There's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jennie
She swore and she sighed that she never would deceive me
But the Devil take the woman for they never can be easy

Chorus

I went onto my chamber for to take a little slumber
I dreamt of golden jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jennie drew my charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for Captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter

Chorus

It was early in the morning as I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrel
I first produced my pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken

Chorus

There's some take delight in the carriages a-rolling
Others take delight in the hurley and the bowling
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

Chorus

And if anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army
If I can fight a station in Cork or in Killarny
And if he'll go with me we'll be roaming in Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my only sporting Jennie

Chorus

Winter Wonderland
(Felix Bernard/Richard B. Smith)
(Live with The Fabbies)

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

You Gotta Fight For Your Right (to Party)
(Beastie Boys)
(Live with The Fabbies)

You wake up late for school
man you don't wanna go
You ask you mom, "Please?"
but she still says, "No!"
You missed two classes
and no homework
But your teacher preaches class
like you're some kind of jerk

Chorus:
You gotta fight for your right to party

You pop caught you smoking
and he said, "No way!"
That hypocrite
smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag
Now your mom threw away
your best porno mag (Bust it!)

Chorus

Don't step out of this house
if that's the clothes you're gonna wear
I'll kick you out of my home
if you don't cut that hair
Your mom busted in and said,
"What's that noise?"
Aw, mom you're just jealous
it's the Beastie Boys!

Chorus

(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher
(Jackie Wilson)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)

Your love, liftin' me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, quench my desire
And I'll be at your side forevermore

Chorus:
You know your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on liftin' (your love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me, liftin' me), higher, and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on (liftin' me, liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me) higher and higher (higher)

Now once I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and he soon departed
And you know he never showed his face again

Chorus:
That's why your love...

I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million girls
And I wish my lovin' arms around ya
Honey, I can stand up and face the world

Chorus:
Let me tell ya your love...
