if i had wings like noah's dove
i'd fly up the river to the man i love
fare thee well, o honey
fare thee well
i have a man who's long & tall
moves his body like a cannonball
fare thee well, o honey
fare thee well
one of these nights & it won't be long
he'll call my name & i'll be gone
fare thee well, o honey
fare thee well
i remember one night it was drizzlin' rain
all around my heart i felt an achin' pain
fare thee well, o honey
fare thee well
if i had wings like noah's dove
i'd fly up the river to the man i love
fare thee well, o honey
fare thee well

pinery boy

o father father build me a boat
that down the wisconsin i may float
& every raft that i pass by
there i will inquire for my sweet pinery boy
as she was rowing down the stream
she saw three rafts all on a string
she hailed the pilot as they passed by
o there she did inquire for her sweet pinery boy
o pilot pilot tell me true
is my sweet willie among your crew?
o tell me quick & give me joy
none other will i have but my sweet pinery boy
o auburn was the color of his hair
& his eyes were blue & his cheeks were fair
his lips were of a ruby fine
ten thousand times they've met with mine
o dear dear lady he is not here
he's drowned in the dells i fear
'twas at lone rock as we passed by
o there is where we left your sweet pinery boy
she wrung her hands & tore her hair
just like a lady in grave despair
she rode her boat against lone rock
for a pinery boy her heart was broke
dig me a grave both long & deep
place a marble slab at my head & feet
& on my breast a turtle dove
to let the world know that i died for love

by yon bonnie banks & by yon bonnie braes
where the sun shines bright on loch lomond
where me & my true love will never meet again
on the bonnie bonnie banks of loch lomond
o you take the high road & i'll take the low road
& i'll be in scotland before you
but me & my true love will never meet again
on the bonnie bonnie banks of loch lomond
i mind where we parted in yon shady glen
on the steep steep side of ben lomond
where in purple hue the highland hills we view
and the moon comin' out in the gloamin'
o you take the high road & i'll take the low road
& i'll be in scotland before you
but me & my true love will never meet again
on the bonnie bonnie banks of loch lomond
the wee birdies sing & the wild flowers spring
& in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
but the broken heart ken no second spring again
& the earth does not know how we are weepin'
o you take the high road & i'll take the low road
& i'll be in scotland before you
but me & my true love will never meet again
on the bonnie bonnie banks of loch lomond

clementine

in a cavern in a canyon
excavating for a mine
dwelt a miner forty niner
& his daughter clementine
o my darlin o my darlin o my darlin clementine
thou art lost & gone forever dreadful sorry clementine
light she was & like a fairy
& her shoes were number nine
herring boxes without topses
sandals were for clementine
o my darlin o my darlin o my darlin clementine
thou art lost & gone forever dreadful sorry clementine
drove she ducklings to the water
every morning just at nine
hit her foot against a splinter
fell into the foaming brine
o my darlin o my darlin o my darlin clementine
thou art lost & gone forever dreadful sorry clementine
ruby lips above the water
blowing bubbles soft & fine
but alas i was no swimmer
so i lost my clementine
o my darlin o my darlin o my darlin clementine
thou art lost & gone forever dreadful sorry clementine
then the miner forty niner
soon began to peak & pine
thought he oughta join his daughter
now he's with his clementine
o my darlin o my darlin o my darlin clementine
thou art lost & gone forever dreadful sorry clementine
in my dreams she still doth haunt me
robed in garments soaked in brine
tho in life i used to hug her
now she's dead i draw the line
o my darlin o my darlin o my darlin clementine
thou art lost & gone forever dreadful sorry clementine

red river valley

from this valley they say you are going
we will miss your bright eyes & sweet smile
for they say you are taking the sunshine
that brightens our pathways a while
come & sit by my side if you love me
do not hasten to bid me adieu
but remember the red river valley
& the girl who has loved you so true
for a long time i have been waiting
for those dears words you never would say
but alas all my fond hopes have vanished
for they say you are going away
come & sit by my side if you love me
do not hasten to bid me adieu
but remember the red river valley
& the girl who has loved you so true
from this valley they say you are going
when you go may your darling come too?
would you leave her alone unprotected
when she loves no other but you
come & sit by my side if you love me
do not hasten to bid me adieu
but remember the red river valley
& the girl who has loved you so true

an die ferne geliebte
02:52
|
|

|
auf dem hügel sitz ich spähend
in das blaue nebelland
nach den fernen triften sehend
wo ich dich geliebte fand.
weit bin ich von dir geschieden
trennend liegen berg und tal
zwischen uns und unserm frieden
unserm glück und unsrer qual
ach, den blick kannst du nicht sehen
der zu dir so glühend eilt
und die seufzer sie verwehen
in dem raume der uns teilt
will denn nichts mehr zu dir dringen
nichts der liebe bote sein
singen will ich lieder singen
die dir klagen meine pein
denn vor liebesklang entweichet
jeder raum und jede zeit
und ein liebend herz erreichet
was ein liebend herz geweiht

psaume deux

|
d'où vient ce bruit parmi les nations?
à quoi les porte une impuissante haine?
peuples pourquoi dans vos illusions
vous flattez-vous d'une espérance vaine?
je vois ligués les princes de la terre
dans leurs conseils les grands ont présumé
d'être assez forts pour déclarer la guerre
à l'éternel à son oint bien aimé
