Cloudy Summer Afternoon

On a cloudy summer afternoon
We sat and waited for the raindrops
Never noticed when the rain stopped
Fell in love
Fell in love

Time was passing by, the shadows fell
We never noticed when the rain stopped
The pitter-patter of the raindrops
Fell in love

We read the paper as we lay on the floor
We smoked our last cigarette
Nothing was said for an hour or more
But I can never forget . . .

On a cloudy summer afternoon
We sat and waited for the raindrops
Never noticed when the rain stopped
Fell in love
Fell in love

We read the paper as we lay on the floor
We smoked our last cigarette
Nothing was said for an hour or more
But I can never forget . . .

On a cloudy summer afternoon
We sat and waited for the raindrops
Never noticed when the rain stopped
Fell in love
Fell in love
Fell in love
Fell in love

Cielito Lindo Son Juasteco

De domingo a domingo te vengo a ver
Cuando sera domingo, cielito lindo, para volver?
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay!

Yo bien quisiera
Que toda la semana, cielito lindo, domingo fuera,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay!

Una flecha en el aire
Tiro Cupido
Que lanza tu nombre de mis recuerdos
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay!

Yo bien quisiera
Que cuando sera domingo, cielito lindo, para volver,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay!

Let Me Fly

Let me fly (let me fly)
Let me fly (let me fly)
Well, let me fly to Mt. Zion
Lord, Lord

Way up yonder, 'bout tree-top tall
Eagles flyin', but they never fall
Eagles flyin' and sparrows too
Halfway to heaven, now how 'bout you?

Let me fly (let me fly)
Let me fly (let me fly)
Well, let me fly to Mt. Zion
Lord, Lord

Way up yonder in the middle of the air
Angels sittin' on the golden stair
Waitin' there just to give a hand
To the little bird flyin' to the promised land

Let me fly (let me fly)
Let me fly (let me fly)
Let me fly to Mt. Zion
Lord, Lord

Let me fly through the middle of the air
Fly (indiscernable) like the welcome fair
Let me fly from all of my woe
Let me go where the sunlight goes

Let me fly, let me fly
Let me fly, let me fly
Let me fly to Mt. Zion
Lord, Lord

One of these days, and it won't be long
This ol' world's gonna right its wrongs
Sinner man's gonna try his wings
Gonna know the joy that heaven brings

Let me fly (let me fly)
Let me fly (let me fly)
Well, let me fly to Mt. Zion
Lord, Lord

Banua

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, (indiscernable)

The sun comes up in the moring
And the moon comes out at night
But not for me, because you see
Of a kiss in the pale moonlight

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, (indiscernable)

And you're a beautiful lady, firelight and guitar
Took my heart, we had to part
And now I cry (indiscernable)

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, (indiscernable)

I walked her home in the moonlight
A man appeared at her door
A flash of a knife and he took her life
And I'll cry forevermore

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, (indiscernable)

I fought him there in the darkness
I killed him (indiscernable)
And now I'm waiting in Banua
For them to set me free

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, (indiscernable)

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, (indiscernable)
(quiet)


Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, (indiscernable)
(loud)

Brown Eyes

One evening when the sun was low
My Brown Eyes whispered, "I must go."
Not one moment would she wait
She kissed me then she left the gate

Those brown eyes I loved so well
Those brown eyes I long to see
How I long for those brown eyes (those brown eyes, those brown eyes)
Strangers they have grown to be (those brown eyes, those brown eyes)

Just one year ago today
They laid my own Brown Eyes away (sleep my love, sleep my love)
Now in heaven for all to see
My brown-eyed angel waits for me

Those brown eyes I loved so well
Those brown eyes I long to see
How I long for those brown eyes (those brown eyes, those brown eyes)
Strangers they have grown to be (those brown eyes, those brown eyes)

Sinner Man

Oh, Sinner Man, where you gonna run to?
Oh, Sinner Man, where you gonna run to?
Oh, Sinner Man, where you gonna run to?
All on that day?

Run to the rock, "Rock won't you hide me?"
Run to the rock, "Rock won't you hide me?"
Run to the rock, "Rock won't you hide me?"
All on that day.

Well, the Lord said, "Sinner Man, the rock will be a-meltin'"
The Lord said, "Sinner Man, the rock will be a-meltin'"
The Lord said, "Sinner Man, the rock will be a-meltin'"
All on that day.

Well, then we'll run to the stars
Stars'll be a fallin'
Run to the moon,
Moon'll be a-bleedin'
Run to the Lord,
Lord'll be a cryin'
All on that day.

Well, the Lord said, "Sinner Man, you shoulda been a-prayin'"
The Lord said, "Sinner Man, you shoulda been a-prayin'"
The Lord said, "Sinner Man, you shoulda been a-prayin'"
All on that day.

"Satan, Satan, won't you hide me?
Satan, Satan, won't you hide me?
Satan, Satan, won't you hide me, now?"

Satan said "Sinner Man, step right in."
Satan said "Sinner Man, step right in."
Satan said "Sinner Man, step right in."
All on that day.

Poor Boy

As I went down to the river, Poor Boy
Holdin' my love's hand
She said that we'd be married, Poor Boy
But she's gone with another man

Hang down your head and cry, Poor Boy
Hang down your head and cry
Stop thinkin' about that woman you love
Hang down your head and cry

He came at me with a big jack knife
I went at him with lead
And when the fight was over, Poor Boy
He lay beside me dead

They took me to the big jailhouse
And threw away the key
So when I see my love pass by
I cry, "Please wait for me."

Hang down your head and cry, Poor Boy
Hang down your head and cry
Stop thinkin' about that woman you love
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head and cry

Jenny On A Horse

Back at old Fort Laramie
The darlin' of the cavalry
Was Col. Masters' daughter, Pretty Jenny (Jenny)
Any pony's soldier would give his rank to hold her
Hear 'em cry as she went riding by

"Hey, there goes Jenny on a horse
Jenny on a horse
Lordy, what a sight to see!
Jenny on a horse
Jenny on a horse
Ridin' wild and free."

On a morning in July
Shashawnee war chief Crazy eye
Attacked the fort a-screamin' and a-howlin' (howlin')
The Col. went down fighting
And the men were pretty frightened
They'd have lost their scalps if not for just one gal

That gal was Jenny on a horse
Jenny on a horse
Lordy, what a sight to see!
Jenny on a horse
Jenny on a horse
Ridin' wild and free.

Col. Masters lay near death
An Injun arrow in his chest
All at once he heard the voice of Jenny (Jenny)
Jenny hollered, "Sargeant, saddle up my father's charger!
I'll lead the men to battle, follow me!"

They followed Jenny on a horse
Jenny on a horse
Lordy, what a sight to see!
Jenny on a horse
Jenny on a horse
Ridin' wild and free.

When the smoke of battle cleared
The Injuns all had disappeared
They fled before the soldiers led by Jenny (Jenny)
And unto this very day
You'll hear those pony's soldiers say
In the midst of battle
They have seen the ghost of

Jenny on a horse
Jenny on a horse
Lordy, what a sight to see!
Jenny on a horse
Jenny on a horse
Ridin' wild and free.
Ridin' wild and free.

Wagoner´s Lad

Hard luck is the fortune of all womankind
They're always controlled, they're always confined
Controlled by their parents until they are wives
Then slaves to their husbands the rest of their lives

I knew one poor girl and her fortune 'twas sad
She'd always been courted by the Wagoner Lad
He courted her truly, by night and by day
Now his wagons are loaded, he's pulling away

"Your horses are hungry, come feed them some hay
Come sit down beside me for as long as you may."
"My horses ain't hungry and they won't eat your hay
So fare you well, Darling, no longer to stay.

"Your parents don't like me, they say I'm too poor
They say I'm not worthy to enter your door
Hard livin's my pleasure, my money's my own
And if they don't like me they can leave me alone."

"Your wagons need loadin', your whip needs to mend
Come sit down beside me for as long as you can."
"My wagons are loaded, my whips in my hand
So fare you well, Darling, no longer to stand."

Hard luck is the fortune of all womankind
They're always controlled, they're always confined
Controlled by their parents until they are wives
Then slaves to their husbands the rest of their lives
