More song lyrics 8

A gypsy rover came over the hill
Down to the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang till the green hills rang
And he won the heart of a la-a-a-dee.

One time, a long time ago
On a mountain in Switzerland
Yo-lo-lo-lo-lo (yo-lo-lo-ooh-ooh)
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely but lonely, oh-oh-oh-oh
Day after day
She'd pine her heart away
Yo-lo-lo-lo-lo, lady, yay
But no love came her way
One day her papa said
"Some day we'll go
Down to the village in the valley
Then, you'll meet a nice young man
He'll ask for your hand
Then you'll be happy"

Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

Your world was so different
From mine, don't you see?
We just couldn't be close
Though we tried
We both reached for heavens
But ours weren't the same
That's what happens
When two worlds collide
Your world was made up
Of things sweet and good
My world could never fit in
Wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles
And oh, how they've cried
That's what happens
When two worlds collide

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

A love so rare
In years of wasted promises
A love to care
Only love can make some sense of it
A love affair
I know it's only just begun
A love to share
When two hearts collide and beat as one
Now I know you care

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only begun
Before the rising sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run
And yes, we've just begun

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard-earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home

Alabama, Arkansas,
I do love my Maw and Paw
Not the way that I do love you

Oh, holy moly, me oh my,
You're the apple of my eye
I've never loved no one like you....

Oh, home, let me go home,
Home is wherever I'm with you,
Oh, home, let me go home,
Home is wherever I'm with you.

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Hang down your head and cry,
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Poor boy, you're gonna die...

Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Get up, Lazy Willie, there's work to be done
Out of seventeen kids you're the laziest one
Pigs in the kitchen and the roosters in the pig sty
And weeds in the garden busy growin' up knee high
Lazy Willie, look at you, ain't you a sight?
Tuh-tuh-twee, tuh-twee-dee-twee, tuh-tuh-twee
Lazy Willie, sleep all day and play all night
Um-hmm-mm, umm
Get up, Lazy Willie, up and outta that bed
There's cows to be milked and the mules to be fed
Thin the corn, harvest the soybeans
And help me set the table for our comp'ny from New Orleans

Home town girl in a city of lights
Sleeps all day, yeah,
And she plays all night
Takin' her turn on the merry-go-round
Hearing her laugh but it's a lonely sound

Bring her on up, take her on down
Hearing you laugh babe,
But it's a lonely sound
Leaving it home, on a midnight plane
Hearing you call babe,
In the sound of the rain

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Wave the palms, steal the alms, fists in the air
A motorcade up Benign Street shows the people that you care, ow
Nature abhors a vacuum but what's between your ears?
Your judgement clouded with fearful thoughts, a headlights and a deer, ow
Throw it on the fire, throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance floor like you just don't care
Look at what I've found, everybody look around
Everybody looking like they just don't care, oh
Give me some

Well, my temperature's rising, and my feet on the floor
Crazy people knocking 'cause they're wanting some more
Let me in, baby, I don't know what you got
But you better take it easy, this place is hot
And I'm so glad we made it
So glad we made it, you gotta
Gimme some loving (gimme, gimme some lovin')
Gimme some loving (gimme, gimme some lovin')
Gimme some loving every day

Now listen little child, there will come a day
When you will be able, able to say
Never mind the pain, or the aggravation
You know there's a better way for you and me to be
Look for the rainbow in every storm
Fly like an angel, heaven sent to me

Goodbye my friend
I know you're gone, you said you're gone
But I can still feel you here
It's not the end
Gotta keep it strong
Before the pain turns into fear
So glad we made it
Time will never change it, no no no
No no no no

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.

It's a rosebud in June and the violet's in full bloom
And the small birds are singing love songs on each spray
We'll pipe and we'll sing love
We'll dance in a ring love
When each lad takes his lass
All on the green grass
And it's oh to plough where the fat oxen graze low
And the lads and the lasses to sheep shearing go

… A long-long time ago, on graduation day
You handed me your book, I signed this way
… Roses are red, my love, violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you
… We dated through high school, and when the big day came
I wrote into your book, next to my name
… Roses are red, my love, violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you
(As sweet as you)
… Then I went far away and you found someone new
I read your letter, dear, and I wrote back to you
… Roses are red, my love, violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love, good luck, may God bless you
(May God bless you)
… Is that your little girl? She looks a lot like you
Someday, some boy will write in her book too
… Roses are red, my love, violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you

Old man, look at my life
Twenty-four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two

Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you

Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy
Take me, if you please
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me
Everybody passed me by
