Kirkland／John Paine)
SPOKEN：
This is a story about a hip frog.
And we're gonna pick up on it now and
he's on his way out to do some shuckin' and jivin'.
You'll be able to tell right away that he's a big mover.
SINGING：
Frogg went a-courtin' and he did go, un-huh
Frogg went a-courtin' and he did go, un-huh
Frogg went a-courtin' and he did go
To the Coconut Grove for the midnight show, un-huh un-huh un-huh
Mollie Mouse was the hat-check girl, woo-woo
Mollie Mouse was the hat-check girl, woo-woo
Mollie Mouse was the hat-check girl
He thought he'd give this chick a whirl, woo-woo, woo-woo,
woo-woo
He sauntered up to Mollie Mouse's side, un-huh
He sauntered up to Mollie Mouse's side, un-huh
When he got up to Mollie Mouse's side
He whispered 'Mollie will you be my bride？' un-huh un-huh un-huh
Not without my Uncle Rat's consent, uh-uh
Not without my Uncle Rat's consent, uh-uh
Not without my Uncle Rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the President, uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh
Well, she said 'That's it, Clyde, better hit the road, farewell'
'That's it, Clyde, better hit the road, goodbye'
'That's it, Clyde, better hit the road'
'You ain't no frog you're a horned toad, farewell, goodbye,
adios'
Farewell, goodbye, adios
[spoken： You know, I believe that,uh,
any more verses to this song would be anticlimactic;
think we ought to end it]
Farewell, goodbye, adios
Farewell, goodbye, adios
FADE：
Farewell, goodbye, adios
Farewell, goodbye, adios

2.Greenfields
Lyricist：Richard Dehr, Terry Gilkyson, Frank Miller
Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Once they were part of an everlasting love
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run
Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart
Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart
Where are the green fields that we used to roam ？
I'll never know what made you run away
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day
I only know there's nothing here for me
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see
But I'll keep on waiting until you return
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the green fields and me once again
3.Nine Pound Hammer
Lyricist：Merle Travis
Now this nine pound hammer is a little
Too heavy for my size honey for my size
I'm going on the mountain gonna see my baby
And I ain't coming back no, I ain't coming back
Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy pull a load of coal
How can I pull when the wheels won't roll
Now this nine pound hammer is a little
Too heavy for my size honey for my size
I'm going on the mountain gonna see my baby
And I ain't coming back no, I ain't coming back
Roll on buddy don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy pull a load of coal
How can I pull when the wheels won't roll
Now when I'm long gone
Gonna build my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
Roll on buddy don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy pull a load of coal
How can I pull when the wheels won't roll
Now, when I'm long gone
Gonna build my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Lord out of number nine coal
4.Yellow Bird
Lyricist：Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, Norman Luboff
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend leave the nest again？
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky than me
I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today
They're all the same those pretty girls
Take tenderness, then they fly away
Yellow bird, yellow bird
Did your lady friend leave the nest again？
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky than me
Wish that I were a yellow bird, I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird, so here I sit
Nothing I can do
Yellow bird, yellow bird
5.The Green Leaves of Summer
Lyricist：Dimitri Tiomkin, Paul Francis Webster
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
'Twas so good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the sky
A time just for planting
A time just for ploughing
A time to be courting
A girl of your own
'Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
And to stand by your wife
At the moment of birth
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
A time just for living
A place for to die
'Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
'Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
6.Scarlet Ribbons
Lyricist：E Danzig, J Segal
I peeked in to say, 'Good night'
When I heard my child in prayer
'And for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair'
All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Not one ribbons for her hair
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeked in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
7.Try To Remember
Lyricist：Tom Jones, Harvey Schmidt
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept, except the willow
Try to remember the time of September
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
And follow, follow, follow
8.Blue Water Line
Lyricist：D. Graf, M. Seligson
The City Council met last week, the vote was four to three
To burn the home town depot down and build a factory
To take that stretch of history and tear it off the map
To take melt old engine number nine and turn it into scrap
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
If you can't afford a quarter then you ought to give a dime
If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line
Oh, I could tell you stories of the glories of that train
Of the 49'er miners and the time old Jesse James
Stole a thousand golden nuggets in that 'Great Train Robbery'
And when old Abe Lincoln rode with Tad upon his knee
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
If you can't afford a quarter then you ought to give a dime
If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line
Just twenty thousand quarters and just forty thousand dimes
And we'll ride again to glory on the old Blue Water Line
We'll have William Jennings Bryant stokin' coal on number nine
So dig inside your pockets for the old Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
If you can't afford a quarter then you ought to give a dime
If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line
If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
9.Eddystone Light
Lyricist：Gilbert Ronnie, Hays Lee, Hellerman Fred, Seeger Peter (usa)
Yo ho, here's a tale
That's near and dear to the hearts of those that sail
'Bout a lighthouse keeper and his mermaid wife
Who joined together for a different life
Yo ho, the winds and waters tell this tale
My father was the keeper of the Eddystone light
He married a mermaid one fine night
From this union there came three
A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free
Oh, for a life on the rolling sea
Late one night, I was trimming the glim
While singing a verse from the evening hymn
A voice from starboard shouted, 'Ahoy!'
And there was my mother, sitting on a buoy
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free
Oh, for a life on the rolling sea
'Tell me, what has become of my children three？'
My mother she did ask of me
One was exhibited as a talking fish
The other was served on a chafing dish
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free
Oh, for a life on the rolling sea
Then the phosphorous flashed in her seaweed hair
I looked again and me mother wasn't there
A voice came echoing out of the night
'To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light'
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free
Oh, for a life on the rolling sea
Yo ho
Yo ho
Yo ho
...
10.Seven Daffodils
Lyricist：Lee Hays, Fran Moseley
I may not have mansion, I haven't any land
Not even a paper dollar to crinkle in my hands
But I can show you morning on a thousand hills
And kiss you and give you seven daffodils
I do not have a fortune to buy you pretty things
But I can weave you moonbeams for necklaces and rings
And I can show you morning on a thousand hills
And kiss you and give you seven daffodils
Oh, seven golden daffodils, all shining in the sun
To light our way to evening when our day is done
And I will give music and a crust of bread
And a pillow of piny boughs to rest your head
A pillow of piny boughs to rest your head
