1.The River Is Wide
Lyricist：Nick Reynolds
The river is wide, I cannot see
Nor do I have light wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
My love is like the lofty tree
It shudders fears and then sways free
If it should fade when the summer's through
She'll bloom again when the spring shines through
When love is young, then love is fine
Just like a gem when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
The river is wide, I cannot see
Nor do I have light wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
2.Hard Travelin'
Lyricist：Woody Guthrie
I been doin' some hard travelin'
I thought you know
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Way down the road
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord
I been workin' in a hard rock tunnel
I thought you know
I been leanin' on a pressure drill
Way down the road
Hammer flyin', air hose suckin'
Six feet of mud, I sure been muckin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord
I been doin' some hard travelin'
I thought you know
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Way down the road
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord
I been workin' the Pittsburg steel
I thought you know
I been workin' that red-hot slag
Way down the road
I been a-blastin', I been a-firin'
I been a-duckin' that red-hot fire
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord
I been doin' some hard travelin'
I thought you know
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Way down the road
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord
Well, I've been hittin' that Lincoln highway
I thought you know
I been hittin' that sixty-six
Way down the road
Well, a heavy load and a worried mind
I a-lookin' for a woman that is hard to find
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord
I been doin' some hard travelin'
I thought you know
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Way down the road
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord
3.Bonny Hielan' Laddie
Lyricist：Dave Guard, Joe Hickerson
Was you ever in Quebec
Bonny Laddie, Hielan' laddie
Stowing timber on the deck
Bonny Hielan' Laddie
Was you ever in Dundee
Bonny Laddie, Hielan' Laddie
There some pretty ships you'll see
Bonny Hielan' Laddie
Hey, ho, and away we go
Bonny Laddie, Hielan' Laddie
Hey, ho, and away we go
Bonny Hielan' Laddie
This Boston town don't suit my notion
And I'm bound for far away
So, I'll pack my bag and sail the ocean
And I'll see you on another day
Was you ever in Mobile Bay
Bonny Laddie, Hielan' laddie
Loading cotton by the day
Bonny Hielan' Laddie
Was you ever 'round Cape Horn
Bonny laddie, Hielan' laddie
With the Lion and the Unicorn
Bonny Hielan' Laddie
Hey, ho, and away we go
Bonny Laddie, Hielan' Laddie
Hey, ho, and away we go
Bonny Hielan' Laddie
One of these days and it won't be long
And I'm bound for far away
You'll take a look around and find me gone
And I'll see you on another day
Was you ever in Monterey
Bonny Laddie, Hielan' Laddie
On that town with three months pay
Bonny Hielan' Laddie
Was you ever in Aberdeen
Bonny laddie, Hielan' laddie
Prettiest girls that you've ever seen
Bonny hielan' laddie
Hey, ho, and away we go
Bonny Laddie, Hielan' Laddie
Hey, ho, and away we go
Bonny Hielan' Laddie
Farewell, dear friends, I'm leaving soon
And I'm bound for far away
We'll meet again this coming June
And I'll see you on another day
Hey, ho, and away we go
Bonny Laddie, Hielan' Laddie
Hey, ho, and away we go
Bonny Hielan' Laddie
4.Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies
Lyricist：Dave Guard, Gretchen Guard
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Be careful how you court your men
They're like the stars on a summer morning
They'll first appear and then they're gone
How I remember our days of courtin'
I met my love in the fading light
But now she flies to meet another
The day is lonely as the night
If I had known before I courted
That true love was so hard to win
I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden
And never opened it again
I'll find a place come tomorrow
I'll climb some mountain way up high
There I'll sit down to weep in sorrow
And try to mend my troubled mind
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Be careful how you court your men
They're like the stars on a summer morning
They'll first appear and then they're gone
5.En El Agua
Maria Christina me quiere gobiernar y lo la sigo la sigo la
corriente,
Maria Christina me quiere a la gente, Maria Christina me quiere
gobiernar.
I'll meet you in the morning. (En la manano) I'll take you to
the seashore. (A la playa)
We'll play among the sand dunes. (En las dunas) I'll throw you
in the water. (En el agua？？!!)
Que, no, no, no, no, no, Maria Christina que no, que no, que no,
que no. Hay porque？
Maria Christina me quiere gobiernar (Si, no hay) Me quiere
gobiernar. (Ay me voy) Me quiere gobiernar.
I'll meet you in the evening. (En la noche) I'll take you to the
party. (A la fiesta)
We'll walk along the pool side. (Por el chacco) I'll throw you
in the water. En el agua？？!!)
Maria Christina me quiere gobiernar y lo la sigo la sigo la
corriente,
Maria Christina me quiere a la gente, Maria Christina me quiere
gobiernar.
I'll marry you on Sunday, (Si, si, domingo) We'll go away
together. (Si, juntamente)
In clear or stormy weather (Por la tiempo) I'll throw you in the
water. (En el agua？？!!)
Hurry, Senors. The border is closed to sailors without
raincoats.
6.A Jug Of Punch
As I was sitting with a jug and spoon, one Sunday morning in the
month of June.
A birdie sang in an ivy bunch and the song he sang was the jug
of punch.
Tura lura lu, tura lura lu, tura lura lu, tura lura lu.
A birdie sang in an ivy bunch and the song he sang was the jug
of punch.
What more diversion can a man desire than to court a girl by a
cheerful fire？
A carey pippin to crack and crunch and on the table a jug of
punch.
A carey pippin to crack and crunch and on the table a jug of
punch.
Ye mortal lords, drink your nectar wine and ye quality folk, sip
your claret fine.
I'd give them all the grapes in the bunch for a jolly pull at my
jug of punch.
I'd give them all the grapes in the bunch for a jolly pull at my
jug of punch.
Ye learned doctors, with all your art, cannot cure a depression
on the heart.
But even a cripple forgets his hunch when he's snug outside of a
jug of punch.
But even a cripple forgets his hunch when he's snug outside of a
jug of punch.
And when I'm dead and I'm in my grave, no costly tombstone do I
ever crave.
Just lay me down in my native peat with a jug of punch at my
head and feet.
Just lay me down in my native peat with a jug of punch at my
head and feet. (Ooo, Ooo)
7.Utawena
Ameniza bala la la, ameniza bala la, la, ameniza bala la, la,
ameniza bala la.
Uta wena, uta wena, bawo we the uka da a banto kwakho. Waba
dala, waba dala baba bini, bayindo da ne nha zana.
Wali the the ne loli silli, semi yo kwa anamklanje. Umntu maka,
umntu maka, shiyn yise amanya nay nomfay wakay.
8.Speckled Roan
I used to ride a little old speckled roan. I told him lots of
things I wouldn't have told at home.
I said to the speckled roan, said I, 'I'm so lonesome I could
die, but I ain't gonna stay lonesome very long.'
I used to ride a little ole yellow dun. Mending fences, rode him
in the rain and sun.
I said to the yellow dun, said I, 'I'm gonna be rich or know the
reason why. Gonna take my money to town and find the fun.'
And then I bought me a big old ropin' gray. Roped for money and
I made it ev'ry day.
But I said to the ropin' gray, said I, 'I sure do miss that
prairie sky,' and he let out laughin' and he surely knowed the
way.
I brought my money home and I brought it home to stay. Couldn't
have stayed in town, not another day.
I'm gonna live out under a prairie sky. Gonna live out there
'till the day I die with the roan and the dun and the big old
ropin' gray.
9.Blow The Candle Out
When I sailed into Portland town, I called upon my dear. Her
window held a candle. It's light shone bright and clear.
I walked up to her doorstep. I knew she was within. Her candle
told the story, boys, and I was home again.
I like her good behaviour. I like her easy way. I cannot sleep
contented. The night seems like the day.
To sail in muddy weather, it makes me want to shout and roll her
in my arms, boys, and blow the candle out.
When I got home to Portland, 'twas as I said before. The candle
at the window and my love at the door.
We let the candle go, boys. We had no care or strife. We went to
see the parson and she became my wife.
And when we have a baby, boys, we'll name him after me. She'll
keep him neat and kiss him and rock him on her knee,
And when this trip is over, I'll sail no more about. Yes, I'll
remain in Portland, Maine, to blow the candle out.
10.Blue Eyed Gal
Gonna find a bran' new gal. Don't want one who's lazy 'cause the
one I got right now, 'bout to drive me crazy.
'Bout to drive me crazy. 'Bout to drive me wild. 'Bout to drive
me down that road more'n a hundred miles.
I don't want a workin' gal, one whose face is flow'ry. I just
want a country gal who'll have a handsome dowry.
I don't want a city gal, one who's kind-a lazy 'cause I got a
gal in town 'bout to drive me crazy.
'Bout to drive me crazy. 'Bout to drive me wild. 'Bout to drive
me down that road more'n a hundred miles.
I don't want a city gal who sips of cherry wine. I want a gal to
share with me my country turpentine.
Reaching for that mountain, leave her here in town. Boarding at
a big hotel, run her money down.
Run her money down, boys, run her money down. Boarding at that
big hotel, run her money down.
She lived here when I met her. She'll live here when I'm gone.
She'll stay around, run her money down, but me, I'm moving on.
Me, I'm moving on, boys. Me, I'm moving on. Stay and run her
money down, me I'm movin' on.
'Bout to drive me crazy. 'Bout to drive me wild. 'Bout to drive
me down that road more'n hundred miles.
