Na Na Na

In this grey grey world where nobody sings
I saw the face of a human doll
Her eyes were glass and her hair was gold
From her sweet soft lips You could hear that song go

Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na,…

In a place where hell is around the corner I touched around it was baby sweet She kissed me there
I could feel the song going down my throat
She was singing to me

Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na,…

My daddy said if you wanna live
You better not touch this is not a toy
The truth is OOHH I’m a bloody fool
I left the one that I loved behind, singing

Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na,…
Tell me what it is that brings me back to you
Tell me what it is I can’t stop loving you
Tell me what it is that brings me back to you
Tell me what it is I can’t stop loving you
So take me back to the land of yours
Where the black swan loves the one I lost
My generation sings with the radio on
The melody of the human doll

Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na,…

Old Dan Tucker

One, two, one, two, three, four

Old Dan Tucker he’s a fine old man washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel and died of a toothache in his heel

Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper
Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper

Old Dan Tucker, he’d come to town, swinging the ladies all around
First to the right and then to the left and then to the girl that he loves best

Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper
Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper

Old Dan Tucker, he’d come to town, riding a billy goat, leading a hound
Hound dog barked, billy goat jumped, landed Dan Tucker on the top of a stump

Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper
Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper
Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper
Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper

You’re too late to get your supper

Now old Dan Tucker got drunk and fell in the fire and holy hell
A red-hot coal got in his shoe and oh my Lord the ashes flew

Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper
Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper
Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper
Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper

Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker, you’re too late to get your supper

Only Our Rivers Run Free

When apples still grow in november and blossoms still grow from each tree
When leaves are still green in december it’s then that our land will be free
I travelled her hills and her valleys and still through the sorrows I see
A land that has never known freedom and only our rivers run free
And only our rivers run free, and only our rivers run free

I drink to the death of her manhood those men who’d rather had died
Than to live in the cold chains of boundage to bring back their rights were denied
Oh were are you now when we need you what burns were the flames used to be
Are you gone like the snows of last winter and will only our rivers run free
And will only our rivers run free, and only our rivers run free

How sweet is life but we’re crying, how mellow the wine but it’s dry
How fregant the rose but is dying, how gentle is breeze but is sigh
What good is it new when it’s aging, what joy is in the eyes that can see
When there’s sorrow in sunshine and flowers and only our rivers run free
And only our rivers run free, and only our rivers run free, and only our rivers run free

Brincan Y Bailan

Ha nacido un ni?o en un pobre pesebre
Ha nacido un ni?o, su padre nadie marqué … de santo mismo
En el Portal de Belén hacen lumbre los pastores
Para calentar al Ni?o que ha nacido entre las flores

Brincan y bailan los peces en el río
Brincan y bailan por ver al Dios nacido
Brincan y bailan los peces en el agua
Brincan y bailan por ver nacida el alba

Ha nacido un ni?o en un pobre pesebre
Y su madre pura como el agua del monte

La Virgen lava pa?ales y los tiende en el romero
Los pajaritos le cantan y el agua se iba riendo

Brincan y bailan los peces en el río
Brincan y bailan por ver al Dios nacido
Brincan y bailan los peces en el agua
Brincan y bailan por ver nacida el alba

Brincan y bailan los peces en el río
Brincan y bailan por ver al Dios nacido
Brincan y bailan los peces en el agua
Brincan y bailan por ver nacida el alba

Brincan y bailan los peces en el río
Brincan y bailan por ver al Dios nacido
Brincan y bailan los peces en el agua
Brincan y bailan por ver nacida el alba

Brincan y bailan los peces en el río
Brincan y bailan por ver al Dios nacido
Brincan y bailan los peces en el agua
Brincan y bailan por ver nacida el alba

 

Thunder

I came down to see you
but you were never there
you were always lonely somewhere
I came donw to love you
but you were never there
but you’re always parting somewhere

Hold on, don’t leave me lonely
Hold on, don’t leave me lonely
hold on, don’t go without me

Tell me what’s the game now
‘cause i’m feeling kind of jealous
you’re going out with friends now somewhere

I’m gonna get my guitar
and strum down all the pain
i think i’m going crazy, beware

Hold on, don’t leave me lonely
Hold on, don’t leave me lonely
hold on, don’t go without me
I’m gonna let nobody, gonna let nobody love you
Gonna let nobody love…

Thunder bloody bloody thunder
bloody thunder is on its way (4x)

I came down to see you
but you were never there
you just left me lonely somewhere

Hold on, don’t leave me lonely
Hold on, don’t leave me lonely
hold on, hold on…
hold on, don’t leave me lonely
hold on…

I’m gonna let nobody, gonna let nobody love you
Gonna let nobody love you…

 

I’ll tell me Ma

I’ll tell me Ma when I go home the boys won’t leave the girls alone
They pulled my hair an’ they stole my comb but that’s alright ‘til I go home
She is handsome she is pretty, she is the belle of Belfast City
She is courting one two three, please won’t you tell me who is she

Albert Mooney says he loves her all the boys are fighting for her
They knock at the door and ring the bell saying oh my true love’s well
Out she comes as white as snow rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Poor Johnny Murray says she’ll die if she doesn’t get the fellow with the roving eye

I’ll tell me Ma when I go home the boys won’t leave the girls alone
They pulled my hair an’ they stole my comb but that’s alright ‘til I go home
She is handsome she is pretty, she is the belle of Belfast City
She is courting one two three, please won’t you tell me who is she

Let the wind and rain and the hail blow high and the snow come tumbling from the sky
She’s as nice as apple pie she’ll get her lad by and by
When she gets a lad of her own she won’t tell her ma ‘til she comes home
Let them come as they will for it’s Albert Mooney she loves still

Mon Amant De St Jean

One, two, three, two, two, three

Je ne sais pourquoi elle allait danser ? Saint Jean au musette
Mais quand ce gars lui a pris un baiser elle frissonnait était chipée

Comment ne pas perdre la t?te serré par des bras audacieux
Car l’on croit toujours aux doux mots d’amour
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux

Elle qui l’aimait tant elle le trouvait le plus beau de Saint Jean
Elle restait grisée sans volonté sous ses baisers

Sans plus réfléchir elle lui donnait le meilleur de son ?tre
Beau parleur chaque fois qu’il mentait
Elle le savait, mais elle l’aimait

Comment ne pas perdre la t?te serré par des bras audacieux
Car l’on croit toujours aux doux mots d’amour
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux

Elle qui l’aimait tant elle le trouvait le plus beau de Saint Jean
Elle restait grisée sans volonté sous ses baisers

Mais hélas ? Saint Jean comme ailleurs un serment n’est qu’un leurre
Elle était folle de croire au bonheur et de vouloir garder son c?ur

Comment ne pas perdre la t?te serré par des bras audacieux
Car l’on croit toujours aux doux mots d’amour
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux

Elle qui l’aimait tant elle le trouvait le plus beau de Saint Jean
Elle restait grisée sans volonté sous ses baisers

Elle qui l’aimait tant elle le trouvait le plus beau de Saint Jean
Elle restait grisée sans volonté sous ses baisers
